Always a gentleman and great ambassador for tennis. Above all, a fine person.
His parents and Uncle Tony deserve credit.👪 A definite change from current
examples of rude, crude, outrageous behaviour that gets so much attention-not
only in the tennis world, but at large. Kudos, Rafael🎉💕
Rafa am sure Serena would appreciate your congratulations.
Love and prayers,
