In a delightful surprise, earlier today, Roger Federer revisited Rafa Nadal’s Academy in Manacor, marking a special chapter in their enduring friendship. Prompting heartfelt posts from Rafa, the shared photo came with a warm caption, “Always nice to see and great to be with you my friend. Thanks for coming and visiting!!! And hope to see you soon,” revealing the genuine joy of their reunion.

Rafa added three more photos, expressing gratitude for Roger’s visit and hopes for future meetings. These snapshots captured the essence of their enduring friendship, leaving fans excited about potential future collaborations between these tennis icons.



The Rafa Nadal Academy has been a witness to such historic tennis encounters since its opening in June 2016. The inauguration, watched by the first intake of students, allowed them a unique chance to knock with both Rafa and Roger, emphasizing that this reunion is a cherished tradition at the academy.

Did you know that there is a fine line between genius and insanity!😝
It’s a picomtre long
Thank you Physics. Wasted four years of my life, and for what? To know how “wide” a picometre and an angstrom is. Yay.
Happy that the unmentionable one is out. Haaaaaa.
This was as much a business visit as a personal one. Roger brought his agent Tony Godsick and they met with Carlos Costa. Something is being cooked up for Fedal.
I hope so!
So very nice to see the two best of all time together again.
Wonderful to see this. Rafa is my darling but Roger too is great!
Novak is good statistically but he certainly isn’t the goat taking everything into consideration. His style and a like most of the others. Rafa and Roger were/are unique.
That brought tears to my eyes … all the memories flooded my thoughts! I was always rooting for Rafa but it didn’t hurt as bad as when he lost to Novak. I will never forget their rivalry and how exciting it was when they were going to play each other! So many years have passed and if I could I would do it all over again! ❤️❤️ Fedal !
True friends giving genuine support to one another. Good to see.
Precious moments!
Goats. Who would I be without these two wow.
Looking great👏
Djoker is the GOAT by far
Who cares?
Bugger off.
YOU BUGGER OFF you ASSHOLE!!!
Block capitals.
You’re coming across like a retard.
Documentary film about their friendship and rivalry. On Netflix.
I’ll stake my reputation on it. Ha hem.
Rafa has two🏅 Novak has zero how can he be the 🐐 with no gold medals?? Rafa has won RG 14 times A feat no other athlete has been able to achieve! Rafa has never smashed one racket…Novak 54 and counting! RAFA is clearly the 🐐!!
Right, some people think that what I said there was directed towards Rafa, it’s not. It was a response to some Djoko-Wanker. Him going on about the goat thing and how Djokovic was the goat.
Rafa isn’t interested in the GOAT debate. He’s made that clear several times.
If you go by trophies. Djokovic is the GOAT. I don’t like that fact but it is a fact, going by trophies and weeks as no 1.
I cannot stand Djokovic, he’s a horrible aggressive person who doesn’t care about spreading the virus around.
Please please don’t make what you’ve said about the Olympic gold be a jinx. That’s all he has left to win.
This topic is about Roger and Rafa’s friendship. Djoko-wankers will always find any excuse to demean them and big up Dopeovic. Hence the bugger off thing. They’re sad, very very sad, one and all.
The Djoko-Wankers. They annoy me. I just see red when they pipe up about bloody Dopeovic.
I can only speak for myself but I don’t like seeing his name on this forum. He makes me feel physically sick.
To Djoker fans: it’s ok to say nice things about other players.
Well said
Djokovic has nothing to do with it. Rafa abd Roger are ALL ROUND greats and genuine friends. Why don’t you go away and be satisfied with Djokovic and his fake friendship with Beg-A-Friend Kyrgios!
He may be a good player but he is not as likeable as Roger and Rafa. He is too arrogant and he screams like an ape!!
It must have been so uplifting for Rafa to be visited by Roger-what are friends for?
This is the player who understands Rafa, and knows what tennis has been for them.
AO seems very lacklustre without them. No one since has brought the class or charisma
which they carry so effortlessly. Great to see them together again🥰🎾❤️🙏
I also feel the excitement and class act these two brought to AO and all the Slams. I miss them
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ISABEL.
Is your father also your brother?
Love watching the replays of their games. Cannot be compared to anyone currently playing. The excitement just isn’t the same
Rafa, come back soon.
Rafael is my number one with Roger a close second! We will never see two like them again.
Lovely
Friends forever!
Roger, slap some sense in to him, for god’s sake.
Best ever. Still love seeing them no matter ther reason
Indeed. Very true friends.
This is cynical as hell plus cryptic.
If you follow Dr. Who, I think Roger is David Tennant.
You are a retard!!! You are an idiot
Am I though?
On the IQ scale, which determines mental retardation, I’m actually a genius.
