Rafael Nadal-congratulations. Maxime-watch and learn. This is Rafa, taking care of business. Acknowledge the loser, but own the moment. Be proud as you have met those “challenging” times
and conquered them💪👏👍🤛🍀🎾❤️
I enjoyed Rafa’s acceptance speech especially when he alluded to Maxime’s serve-and-volley playing style. By his reaction, Maxime seemed to have been taken by surprise by Rafa’s compliment.
A very moving speech from Rafa. Lovely, encouraging words said to his opponent and all those who support him.
