(jagattu kanda aparoopada aatagararalli neenu obba)
So many wonderful words of support for Rafa and he deserves them all!
He seems like such a lovely person!
I love reading the positive and loving comments to Rafa!
He will get his game back! <3 🙂
I agree with Georgina Johnson……..everyone can win 1 o2 trophies but never win 9 like you RAFAEL NADAL, THE BEST SPANISH PLAYER I ever seen in the last 12 years. You have to improve your daily work and you could return to your normal level…..the great CHAMPION you are!!!!!! Best wishes from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, South America.
Rafa,
You are a great champion and modest soul. Watching you play tennis uplifts my spirits, especially now when I have limited mobility because of cancer.
It takes at least a year or a year and a half to return to your best form after an injury. Take Murray, and Roger for example. You are still young.
I admire you for keeping your team. You just need to add one person, a strong server. Tennis has changed. There are many tall power hitters who have a lot of short points. A strong server and volleyer could slow down the amount of running. Remember the long slump Novak had when he had too many double fsults. His serves used to be weak.
Your top spin, warrior instincts, and running for every point revolutionized tennis. Without you, tournaments are boring.
Doris
Dear Doris,
Your lovely words to Rafa made my heart smile!
You are a true fan words to Rafa are spot on!
I wish you better days ahead and good health with your battle with Cancer!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🙂
well said doris dear….
I won’t say that Nadal’s record will NEVER be tied or beaten, because history has shown that all records are made and broken, eventually. It may be a few generations, from now, but eventually, there will be someone who will be just as great or even better than Nadal, in terms of his game.
I would like to see Nadal’s serve 15-20 mph faster, his return game is good, but can be better, and against those whom he lost, perhaps he should consider changing his grip. Those who’ve played against him (Djokovic, mostly) have countered his amazing rotational strokes and have become accustomed to his groundstrokes. Nadal’s groundstrokes need to be deeper, rarely (5-10% max) should there be a groundstroke in the service area.
Lastly, Nadal would benefit from a different coach, but I think that he would rather not let his Uncle not coach him. Perhaps, Nadal could have another coach along with Uncle Tony. It is interesting that the one person who is winning so much (against Nadal) is being coached by one of the greats: Boris Becker.
Greetings leepers, your opinion & phrasing sound just like former player McEnroe….
Boris baker was never a tennis legend and not good enough for Nadal…Clearly Novak has accomplished success worked & developed prior to Bori’s arrival…. Nadal is different in that his entire package is like a wonderful greenhouse that is prospering & blossoming…. he is amazing at 29 and good for him & his wonderful family & team!!!
Rafa desde Puerto Rico te amamos. Tomate un tiempo para descansar y centrarte y regresa con mas brios. tu eres un ejemplo de vida pq la vida es asi con altas y bajas. Vamos Rafa pa’lante como se dice aca
I’ve left many a comment for Rafa. However, I’m happy to repeat what I’ve said before: Rafa will ALWAYS be our NO. 1 CHAMPION, because of his sterling character, his generosity towards the needy, his fealty to family, friends and fans, his work ethic and his total respect for everyone–including his opponents. I must say that I disagree with columnists who choose to describe Rafa’s loss to Djokovic as one which has dethroned him. This is totally ridiculous in that Rafa has WON NINE FRENCH OPEN TITLES. NO ONE has ever done this before, and it is quite likely that NO ONE EVER WILL! AND, when Rafa WINS HIS TENTH FRENCH OPEN, I’m SURE NO ONE will ever achieve it! AND, win it, HE WILL!!! Comparing ONE WIN to NINE WINS at the French Open IS NOT dethroning RAFAEL NADAL! SO, Rafa, ignore those who would have negative things to say; go forward, as you always do! VAMOS RAFA!!!
Love you always, Rafa. I watch men’s tennis because of you. You are a wonderful young man and a role model to millions. Please continue to enjoy your tennis. You mean so much to so many all around the world. What a wonderful legacy for one so young. VAMOS!!!
novak may win one or even two but he will NEVER ever win 9, in fact i doubt anyone else ever will. rafa is a champion and always will be because of that number it is something no one can take away from him. but most importantly he is a champion because of the kind of person he is. rafa is a role model for every other human being on this planet because of his good attitude, kind heart and his ability to never give up.
Rafa ; fan je suis , fan je resterai pour le meilleur et pour le pire
Bonne chance pour la tournée sur gazon ; tu es un immense champion
VAMOS
Rafa, ni por un instante he pensado que esta perdida signifique algo mas que un tropezon,tu tienes algo innato que es tu gran fuerza,coraje y voluntad, sigue entrenando duro para vuelvas a darnos tu enorme espectaculo del mejor tenis del mundo.
Dear Rafa, You are a wonderful champion and this loss and your current form are not going to change your image as an all time great. What you need at present is lot of confidence in your unlimited abilities and results will flow. I would like to quote our great Swami Vivekananda – Quote: “THE GREATEST SIN IN LIFE IS THINKING OURSELVES WEAK”. Pl. raise your confidence levels and you will be back to winning ways again. Yesterday you lost to another all time great Nova who is on top of his game at present hence
do not lose hope… You will surely come back with a bang. best of luck.
Rafa, we love and support you win or lose.
Your record at Roland Garros is stupendous and I would not bet against you achieving a 10th or even 11th French Open title.
Rafa I felt for you so much but as always you are a great sportman, I do hope your birthday was. not to sad, may god bless you always , and keep going on however hard it may seem.
you have many friends who really love you xx
There is a difference between a Champion and a Winner Rafa is a champion and Nole is a winner, he is the one that now can win evrything but he’ll never be able to give emotions that arrive direct to heart as Rafa or Roger can do.
Rafa you are most exiting gifted player I’ve ever seen since the 70’s,thank you very much for all the wonderful matches you’ve played,and your humility,you are not old, so dont give up……you cant win them all,I’m sure you will have a comeback after your operation and injuries last year it takes time to recover.
We want you more than ever to keep playing……vamos! Rafa!
Will always be my favourite tennis player to watch,hope you can return to your best if thats what you want,love always
