When you're runner up speech double has a wedding speech
It’s been a long time. Yet nothing has changed, when it comes to us.
Rafa just wants to spend time with Roger
Well after his exhibition match against Casper in Colombia, in the on court interview apparently Rafa said he wished he can play there once with Roger (and then the audience went bonkers with scream and claps).
It's probably being brought up by the interviewer but still...this is like a plea for Roger (currently way across the globe for Moet & Chandon event).
WHY DO THEY KEEP DOING THIS TO OUR RAFAEL GUYS THIS IS HEARTBREAKING 😭😭
Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal – Match in Afrika Doku (2021)
Rafael Nadal —Roland Garros, 2006
“First I would also like to congratulate Roger, not only for this final [but also because] he’s the most incredible rival I’ve faced in my life. He’s practically the best player in history. I’ve never seen such a complete player since I was born and the truth is, I only have words of congratulations, not only for this tournament, but for everything he’s been doing in recent years.”

Love Frances and think he’s a great player, but… Wimbledon was OBVIOUSLY a glitch in the simulation 🙃
Onto the third round!!
Manic Monday is finally over so now I can breathe easy😊
…sad to see some of my favs go home tho (lookin’ at you Korda, rublev, and zverev)
But anyway… in Roger we trust!!
Great start to the week!
Hope everyone has a great weekend 💕
Just want to see him smile again 😩🙏🏼
The King of Clay heir apparent. I declare it!!
Yep. Sleeveless is better. Wayyyy better.
So stefanos found out he lost his grandmother literally FIVE MINUTES before walking out onto the court… and was still in it until the very end?? Yeah. He’s definitely a special one.
🥺🥺
Even tho stefanos lost, the amazing fight he put up against world #1 on clay was so inspiring to watch. He really left it all out there today, and I couldn’t be more proud. It is obvious that this is most definitely not the last time we will see him in a French open final, or a major final for that matter.
Stefanos is up 2-0 sets 🤯🤯 I mean I have all intentions for him to win but what is going on with djokovic…?
My Greek King won the first set!!!! He just needs to keep this same energy
Nothing much just thinking of him like always. Hope you have a great day!
I literally wanted to cry for Rafa after he lost the semis… and my only solace is that stefanos finally made it to a majors final!!!! He better beat djokovic’s butt or else
Does anyone know if there’s another way of watching Laver Cup in the US for free?
I can’t do tennis channel plus
Can I point out something very interesting? I know it’s probably because he can’t post anything longer but....STEFANOS ONLY POSTED THE SASCHA ADVICE AND THE FEDAL PICTURE ON HIS INSTAGRAM!
Stefanos as a secret agent. Ft Fedal and their youngest child, Uncle Djokovic, and Saschanos. Isn’t he so adorable? 😍
THEY WON!!!!!
TEAM EUROPE DID IT AGAIN! SASCHA DID IT AGAIN!!! My heart was racing so much. I was at the edge of my seat. I couldn’t breath during those last points. I AM SO HAPPY FOR THEM!!
Family meeting!
Fedal giving their youngest son advice and going back in the tunnel with him. Giving him the support he needs to win this
The Laver Cup is the perfect competition for lots of Fedal and Saschanos pictures and fanfics. It’s 2 days before the actual competition and there are already so many pictures here and some fics on AO3.
I love it!
“The suit look good on you Amor”
“Our children are watching Rafa”
“Sasch this is so awkward”
“There’s a camera. Just smile and pretend that this isn’t embarrassing”
“Why isn’t Stef here to die with us”
If you look closely you can see a father who is proud that his son is making his Laver cup Debut
And then the father who is helping their other son with his suit
Every video of Rafa that was released today now makes me so much more disappointed.
First off, I really need to get this off my chest because it’s been bugging me for the longest time.
I really can’t believe that there are people who would accuse Rafa of retiring because “he is a sore loser and knew he would be demolished by Del Potro.”
I, personally, felt that there was definitely something wrong with him at the beginning of the match. It broke my heart more to see him call a medical time out and have his knee strapped once more. Yet, Rafa still continued to play to show respect to his opponent.
Look at what happened last year: after winning the US Open, he participated in Laver Cup less than 2 weeks later, and played the most matches for team Europe. Almost another 2 weeks later, he played and won in Beijing, then played in Shanghai and lost to Roger in the final. Almost another 2 weeks later (I think), he played in Paris, only to pull out in the second round I think and it was quite obvious that he was limping. Finally, the ATP World Tour Finals. Rafa lost in the 1st Round Robin, with his limp clearer than daylight.
I mean, don’t you think Rafa does not want to repeat his mistakes last year, especially when he has been talking more on wanting to play longer? I get it with Roger. It was difficult for him to move because the conditions were more difficult that anyone else expected (like Novak nearly suffering from a heatstroke again). With Rafa, he already played 2 grueling matches that everyone thought would be easy for him. Then the epic almost 5 hour match against Thiem. It definitely would take a massive toll on me as well.
Sorry for the long rant. I just REALLY had to get this off my chest. I’m just praying Rafa has a speedy and successful recovery 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. If there’s anything Rafael Nadal does best, he bounces back no matter what 💪🏻. ¡VAMOS, MI CAMPEÓN! 🇪🇸🎾🔥
