Rafael Nadal is one of the nicest and classiest players in tennis, and he again showed why on Monday. Despite fourth round loss, he was waiting patiently for Gilles Muller to gather his gear so they can exit the arena side by side after a classic match.
The packed crowd on Court One noticed Rafa’s gracious act and rose to their feet, arguably cheering louder for Rafa than Muller. Rafa also stopped to sign some autographs.
Tennis fans, media and players worldwide also took to social media to praise our champ!

i am sorry but i am dissapointed. I really hoped that federer would have lost the final. But Cilic was no challenge for him. I found the whole wimbeldon this year very boring and dissapointing. Federer should be very grateful to muller and thank him for beating rafa and give him half of his prize money. After nadal loss the tournament was basically over. Nadal would have been more of challenge to federer. The spaniard had the momentum and could have made the Swiss very uncomfortable.
I found la decima victory of nadal more convincing then federer victory. I couldnt stand the pro federer commentators who were keep praising the Swiss. The difference between federer and nadal is now four grandslams. Hopefully Nadal will be in great psyhical and mental shape in Montreal with Carlos Moya full time and that moya will coached him throughout the american hardcourt summer.
I am convinced that nadal can win the us open. But therefore he needs to do well in Montreal and Cincinnati like in 2013. Also that means him beating Federer.
