Looking forward to Rafa match today. Get it done champ!
I’ll finally get to use my TennisTV subscription to watch my second Rafa tournament of the year:):)
Have a fantastic day everyone.
Enjoy these moments, there is no” embarrassment” like some had said. Your CV is unbeatable!
I myself have spent my life doing what I always dreamed of and fought to do. I became a cardiologist! I’ve been a physician forty years! and the truth is, even the best retires someday! So, march on! play on! ‘Hope to watch you in the Olympics! Dr. Marcy!
Enjoy the tournament Rafa!🫶 Vamos💪
So lovely to see him back. Having thrills of Past. Omg am I dreaming Mimi?
I am not nearly as negative about Rafa’s tennis career from this point forward as many people seem to be. I’ve read that Rafa played a practice set recently with Rublev and won the set 6-1. ESPN reports that a data analysis organization rated Rafa’s performative in Australia this year as top 10 level.
So go Rafa! If Rafa decides to retire then do be it. We will miss him greatly.
Like all Rafans, I only want Rafa to have the retirement he wants. I do not care if he wins or loses, but wish for Rafa not to be embarrassed on his court. Rafa has given us so much pleasure over these many years. Vamos Rafa!
“For me, being here is a joy,” Rafael Nadal. No one is immune to the tests of time, but you
are a Warrior like no other-that is the Joy👺💪🎾❤️🔥
Vamos Rafa
Fingers are crossed – Vamos Rafa❤️
Keeping my fingers tighly crossed.
