Roger Pls It's Not Like He's Going Anywhere 😩

Not my usual content, but what can I say the man is a legend

Spanish journalist asking why, after already having "won everything" Rafa is considering playing another year in 2024 after the injury break and "starting from zero" if necessary.

Rafa: "Well, not that I like to use that word - but in a way I feel strong enough to say this - i think it's not what I deserve, to finish like this. I have put enough effort into the whole of my career that I don't think the end of it should be today in a press conference."

obsessed with whatever this decades-spanning inside joke is

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, Laver Cup 2022

Well I love my soft boys 😘

“Stefanos asked me if there was anything he needed to know, some advice, I said: Rafa is there, he’ll take care of you. You’ll be in great hands. And to Rafa: If you want me to be the cheerleader full force, I’ll go. If you want me to be the clown I’ll do it. If you want me to pump the team up, I’m here for all of it”

- Roger Federer on what he said to his teammates before the doubles [Laver Cup 2019]

Federer & Nadal during Match in Africa 6 is actually the hidden gems we need more of. They literally spend days together, in a very grand space, in a country with amazing backdrops, breaking world records, first in African land for the series, and looking back now, became the ultimate exhibition for Fedal while both of them are still active tennis players.

*and I may add that they really are adorable with kids 🥺

Can you sue Fedal for emotional damages?

god i am not your strongest soldier
