Rafael Nadal - Blog Posts

There aren’t enough words to describe how heartbroken I am at this moment. What made me more worried was when Rafa revealed that he started feeling the pain as early as his match against Basilashvili. My heart goes out to him and praying for a speedy recovery 🙏🏻🙏🏻. If there’s one thing Rafa Nadal always does, it’s bouncing back no matter what 💪🏻.

Congrats as well to Del Potro. Definitely put up a fight, but also had great sportsmanship at the end. It’s very hard to hate the lovable giant 😊.

The entire time, I felt like I was gonna die of either a stroke or a heart attack 😂😂😂 Rafa proves time and time again that he is one of the greatest fighters in the tennis world 🎾. Props to Domi as well. Making more than 70 winners and even bagel a set from Rafa. These two are absolute warriors on court.

I ship FEDAL all the way, but this is still a better love story than Twilight 😂♥️

when Grigor visited the Rafael Nadal Academy  | on ‘ seeing Rafa on his home turf ’ :

“It was great. I think we had an amazing time. Honestly I mean he’s a special guy to me, I’ve always looked up to him. He’s just — what can I say. I mean I don’t think there’s enough words to explain the importance of that for me to be there with him on the court practicing and kind of just learning. Even if it’s on the court or whenever we have that little time to — while we’re grabbing a bit of food or anything like this. And then we still had some time to enjoy a little bit; we were going around the island a little bit, trying to enjoy the water, so just spending time like two regular guys it didn’t feel — the best thing it didn’t feel like any competing or anything like this, and I think this is so important, like a healthy I’d say rivalry but it’s not exactly the way it is. We compete against each other but in the same time we kind of could put everything aside, we didn’t have to talk about tennis all the time, we enjoyed other topics and just spent some time together. I was very frank with him, and very straight, I was like ‘listen, I want to ask you some things’ and he’s ‘yeah sure, ask me’ so I was just asking him right away without pulling back, and yeah, he was actually a little bit surprised sometimes which was pretty funny but I’m a pretty straight-up person so that’s cool.”

One last time in Arthur Ashe Stadium

We say goodbye to another great tennis player and fighter, David Ferrer 🇪🇸😭. His speed made up for his height. Such a shame he had to end it by pulling out in the midst of the match. Clearly, he has a very dear friendship with Rafa and it makes me so happy that Rafa was his very last grand slam opponent. He plans to play one last time for Spain 🇪🇸 in the Davis Cup, which is around the next month. Hopefully, his calf injury does not affect him 🙏🏻. After that, he will hang up his racquet 😭. Wishing all the best for him and his family 🙏🏻❤️.

#THROWBACK to when Rafa appeared in Shakira's music video for "Gypsy"/"Gitana" 😍♥️😍♥️

This is probably one of the few songs that made me think "I should've listened to the lyrics or the audio first," cuz I practically couldn't focus on the music every time Rafa was shirtless 😵😵😵. Shakira is SOOOOO lucky 😫

Rafa is shooting daggers at Benoit Paire as he (Paire) throws and smashes his racquet and expects the ballboy to pick it up and return it to him. Can't remember the last time when Rafa was disappointed in his opponents behavior.

HOLY SHIT! Rafa attended Shakira's concert in Toronto and even busting a few moves for us 😍His hips don't lie either 😉😉😉Can he get any sexier 😉😍?

Time and time again, I'm mesmerized by Rafa's determination and perseverance. The way he plays every point as if it were his last, as if his soul depended on it. This is the #1 reason why he'll always be my favorite tennis player. (Sorry Fedfans 😅)

What would you do? Here's a post to brighten those who are still hungover about that semi against Novak, myself included 😂. A #throwback to one of Rafa's IG posts during Wimbledon. So, what would you do if you meet him like this?

Me? I would be star struck for a few seconds, then I'd grab for the same thing he's grabbing for and hopefully, HOPEFULLY 🤞🏼🤞🏼, our fingers touch 😂😊 Then, he'd say "Sorry." I'd say "No, it's okay." And have a conversation with him 😂😍

The ATP Family Selfie 😋

Dads Roger and Rafa, with kids Sascha (aka the energetic one) and Domi (aka the emo one), and joined by uncles Marin, Grigor, Jack, and David 😂😂😂

First selfie of the night - all dressed up!

Had an incredibly rough and crappy day today, yet everything faded away as soon as I saw this photo of mi campeón. His incredibly beautiful smile brought out mine 💙❤️💛. Congratulations to both Rafa and Garbiñe! 👏🏻🇪🇸🎾

HE'S TOO PRECIOUS FOR THIS WORLD 😱😱😍😍😍😭😭😭

Rafa: [game face on] Rafa: [smiles and becomes a human marshmallow]

US Open 2017

Am I the only one ANNOYED and PISSED OFF about Marin Cilic's behavior after Rafa retired from their match?

First of all, this is my opinion so please don't start a flame war. Second, I can't believe Cilic acted like he ACTUALLY WON the entire 5th set. I get it, you win, it's okay to celebrate. But that match was NOT a real win for him. Do you see Rafa doing THAT whenever his opponents retire, I THINK NOT! He even has the courtesy to clap for them as they leave the court. Only then does he celebrate, but even after that, he STILL acknowledges that injured opponent during his own press conferences.

Now, I'm 100% a Nadal fan, but I'm willing to watch the men's singles final (since my mom LOVES Federer) just to see Roger pummel and destroy his ass on court.

Such an AMAZING match from these LEGENDS 🔥⚡️🇪🇸🇨🇭🎾

It’s time for rivals to become teammates 🇪🇸🇨🇭🇪🇸🇨🇭

this is so heartbreaking💔💔

duality

rare photo taken of my room

roger haircuts as weirdly specific and random ppl (this is a joke ok pls guys)

mtv musician who’s been trying to start an acting career but ends up partying at frat houses every weekend even though he’s not in a frat so how the hell does he know these people. was drunk during an interview on national television

coworker at your office job that you’re trying very hard not to fall in love with because you’re just friends, which becomes increasingly difficult since he leaves cute messages on sticky notes on your cubicle wall and he’s the only thing that makes your day tolerable

famous spanish singer that you only know about because your mom tears up every time people talk about him. he passed away years before you were born but you occasionally hear him playing on the tv and his music’s actually really good

that one guy that everyone on your college campus knows only because he’s always carrying around a guitar case for some reason even though you’ve never even seen him play. you ran into him twice at a karaoke bar and he’s nice enough but makes weird conversation. your friends refers to him as “you know, the guy that looks like jesus”

your friend’s friend that seems decent but also scares you because sometimes you all hang out at the bowling alley and once he snapped at the clerk and you can’t really tell if he hates you or not

bratty actor who is notoriously known for his attitude, once walked off a set because he thought “this line is stupid and the scriptwriters are a joke, i can’t play such a humiliating role” but you have to tolerate him anyway because he has genuine talent and you signed a contract as his agent
