Special moments indeed never to be forgotten we are so fortunate to have experienced the friendship they had and still have, unique to say the least. Hope the youngsters of today can learn from this! To meet up will be soooo special for them and the world who will be watching.
Not sure how Raphael and Carlos playing at the Olympics would turn out, it would probably be the most watched match ever – maybe compared to the opening!!!!!!
I truly so wish that Rafa vs Carlitos would be the most watched thing at the olympics, were it to happen. Unfortunately, like every Olympic year, it’s gonna be boring old football. Bleh. Total yawn fest, football. I’d rather take a cheese grater to my glans that watch a second of football. I wonder how many men crossed their legs just then made an OOOOFT noise?
Allez champion king Rafa we miss a lot but. We wish a Good Health and strong cameback from your big fan jules
I hope this weekend is reserved for Fedal meeting.
This would be nice👏
Hope they meet up. They are genuinely real friends. Those tearful moments after the doubles with Roger, at the Laver Cup, which was Roger’s last match. So emotional. I was tearing up.
I know, very bad forum etiquette to be replying to your own post but what’s happened to my avatar? It’s usually green and triangular. I preferred green pointy.
