WE all know it: G.O.A.T. Period. Congratulations to the KING of TENNIS and sports – period. Best ever. And we are blessed to have gotten to watch it all. Never thrown a racket – until he dropped his after winning today. And that’s just not the same. ๐ Any parent putting their child into any sport needs to do a class with their child on how to be a sportsman by watching Rafa. We love you, Rafa! Best ever!!!
I love that King Felipe was interviewed by Alex Corretja about how wonderful Rafa is!
Congrats to Rafa. We are privileged to watch history being made in real time.
Love how Rogerโs coach is recommending that Chatrier be renamed Court Rafael Nadal. ๐๐ป Class act.
Twitter exploded. I also exploded in excitement.
14 RG titles, 22 Grand Slams, 92 Career titles.
112-3 win/loss at the French Open.
Rafa, you make us proud. VAMOS Rafa.
Ivan Ljubicic-you got it. Court Rafael Nadal has a great ring to it๐๐พ๐โค๏ธ
I told you all prior to the Novakโ s match that if Rafa was healthy you shouldnโt mind The Joker nor the conditions, Rafa was going to be victorious! Didnโt he turnout to be? So never mess with our champ, vamos!
This is just surrealโค๏ธ
Congrats Rafa for #14/22, you are amazing!!!
