Well deserved congratulations on twitter from fellow sporting professionals. ATP has also written a wonderful tribute to Rafa in the article entitled “Rafael Nadal: The Humble Champion”.
Published in El Pais today a very touching interview with Toni Nadal.
Llegará un día en que, de manera natural e inevitable, mi sobrino no remontará el vuelo. Llegará el día en que el físico ya no le responderá al más alto nivel o los rivales más jóvenes le apartarán de la competición. Cuando eso ocurra Rafael podrá repetir la frase que me dijo aquel día en que intenté aleccionarle con el testimonio de los tenistas que no habían perseverado lo suficiente.
La aseveración que me hizo fue la siguiente: “Toni, no creo que a mí me pase eso. El día que yo me retire de este deporte, lo haré con la tranquilidad de haber hecho todo lo que ha estado al alcance de mi mano”.
There will come a day when, naturally and inevitably, my nephew will not make the return. The day will come when the physical will no longer respond to the highest level or the younger rivals will separate him from the competition. When that happens Rafael can repeat the sentence he told me that day when I tried to teach him with the testimony of tennis players who had not persevered enough.
The statement he made was as follows: “Toni, I do not think that happens to me. The day I retire from this sport, I will do it with the peace of having done everything that has been within my reach.
Congratulations Rafa !!!!! Well deserved !!!
RAFA ROCKS TWITTER
Felicidades Rafa bien merecido ese numero 1
The CREME de la CREME has risen to the top…..AGAIN.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to my beloved Rafa.
