A handful of Nike Athletes, including tennis stars Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Serena Williams, have started the countdown to “Mamba Day” in honor of Kobe Bryant’s final NBA game.
Bryant’s farewell tour will make its final stop in Los Angeles, the Staples Center, next Wednesday.

No matter what happens, NO ONE can take away his seriously famous achievements of the past. RAFA will ALWAYS be RAFA, the WARRIOR!!!
Good luck to Rafa ,hope this tournament is the start of your come back. Great to see Rafa’s good friend Juan Monaco win Jack Sock to take the title in Houston after a 8 month absence
Ridiculous poll exactly mirrors the situation as it is now. Ignores the historical context. Taken at a different time it would be Fed or Nadal. Also what country was the poll taken in? UK where Fed is an honorary Englishman? The historical, cultural and social context cannot be captured in stats ( the argument of any good psychologist).
Nadal is by far the most exciting player there has ever been. He added colour and flavour that wasn’t there before. I’m really not sure you can make these comparisons. It could be argued that Djokovich’s rise coincided with a very accident prone and quickly deteriorating Nadal (which was predicted). Djokovich improved his game but the fact remains he struggled against Nadal at his peak.
you said it sister! Rafa, The Ultimate Warrior!
Excellent article on the GOAT debate – http://metro.co.uk/2016/01/28/why-novak-djokovic-has-overtaken-roger-federer-as-the-greatest-tennis-player-of-all-time-5649557/
Perhaps a wake-up call for our favorite player. Especially the poll results at the bottom. If he still even cares.
actually a stupid, nonsense article. only a brain-dead would consider it an ‘excellent article’
Rafa – The Ultimate Warrior, deal with it!
Good luck in MC! Vamos Rafa!
