Vamos Rafa <3
Congrats to Rafa , To David you will be missed. you were always one of my favorites you were my second favorite of the whole Men’s Tennis roundup. Rafa was my first but you beat Roger Federer.
So happy you have a new son Leo. Enjoy your retirement and Thank you for so many years of enjoyment watching you and Rafa play. You were one of the best ever.
Rafa loved your play and I hope you win the U.S. Open. remember to stay focused and aggressive . Play to their weakness and Win big
Love you both

It did come as a surprise to me that David succumbed to an injury during his match even though I knew he has not been able to train because “his body wouldn’t let him.” He said he had to stop so many times because he just couldn’t do it.
Hopefully he will get to retire on home soil but if not I hope the Spanish Tennis Federation will acknowledge his many years as a top-ten player and as his Davis Cup achievements, in a special ceremony.
He is still young and has much ahead of him with his new baby and the Ferrer Tennis Academy which has a 4.9 rating out of 5.
My sadness for him is his current ranking because he said he couldn’t see himself ranked #60 and because he is forced to retire.
A happy future for David.
Hear Hear! Many good wishes to David.
(I’m baffled how your positive, fair, and respectful message could receive a thumbs down…but the world is a strange place!)
Alex, I am starting to think 👎 means “I [the one giving a 👎] am an idiot.” LOL
Fedtards are busy trolling this site. 😂😂😂
Margo, you made a fair comment and i don’t know why you got 👎🏼either. Strange!
Has Ferrer an Academy? since when? that’s new……..
His brother started the academy.
