He has given everything to this sport, im tearing up right now, he will always be remembered forever. well done Rafa.
everything but honesty and truth... just ask the judge who sealed his medical records against review to see how profolfic his roid use was... biggest cheat of all time... next to the williams brothers
he will be forever in our hearts
@@RikardanSteele Why are you here? Go cheer for Djokovic. Oh wait, he is too afraid to lose again to play here.
@@RikardanSteele he but steroid on his big banana
@@RikardanSteele Of course Wanker, you can back this up with proof??? I know it's really Djokovic you're talking about. Djokovic is the king of the Cheaters!!
I remember back then, in 2006 and 2007, when he played finals in RG against Roger and how much this guy frustrated me bcs I was a huge fan of Roger..How many years have passed since then..Roger, Rafa, Novak I watched them when I was just a teenager and now I am almost 40..I grew up watching you..With these retirements, I realized that one part of my life is over..Thank you Roger, thank you Rafa
So true, i agree 10000% with you. It’s a huge part of our lives that is being finished somehow. Also tells us we are getting old haha (im 30y)
I was 15 during that season and now I'm realising we are getting old.
Nah, there are still Alcaraz, Sinner. I grew up watching McEnroe, Lendl, Becker, Steffi Graf, Sampras, etc.... There are always great players following the departed.
I'm a fan of Roger Federer, sometimes I didn't like watching Rafa's games. But after a while I started to have an appreciation for this legend. The big three marked the history of tennis.
Thank you Djokovic.
I’m Australian and raising a profoundly autistic boy on my own, and sometimes I want to check out and quit. I’ve been a lifelong fan of tennis, and remember watching Rafa take on a Medvedev in the form of his career at the AO Final a few short years back. When I watched Rafa turn that match around in the third set, down two and a break, I prayed for his victory, and promised myself and God NEVER to give up, never to even think about it. That’s the inspiration this humble and amazing champion has bought into my life. Muchas Gracias Rafa ❤️
Your message brought me to tears, please don't give up ever, I have diabetes type1 since early childhood and also ADHD, ironically I'm gifted but being gifted doesn't really help that much (but for making everything deeper, more frustating). I know fighting everyday without rest is hard but we are warriors within, and trust me, God exists, so the final Justice will be on our side.
His never give up attitude and fighting spirit has been always an inspiration for me in my personal life
@carlkligerman1981 keep going, you have shown courage and determination like Rafa. He is an inspiration. I have been watching him since he was 16 years old, and he is always humble, sincere and dedicated. I stayed up into the early hours here, watching that AO final against Medvedev, and like you, praying for that victory. It was the happiest day of my life, when he won. Good wishes to you, from a fellow Rafa fan in Europe.
@@m.a.g.3920 life is an endurance sport. Prayer and following the example of my heroes keeps me going. I think ADHD is on my docket too, but I was a ‘gifted’ child so was never diagnosed, but maybe for the best. I figure the Big Guy don’t hand out tests to anybody who can’t actually find themselves, and a form of happiness, in meeting the challenge. Thanks for your reply take care of yourself, blessings.
@@michelez715 yeah I cried when he won, I couldn’t believe it! I’ve always wanted to write to him about that night and the impact it had on my life, but have been waiting till he retires to write it in the far flung hope that he might actually have time to read it! But I do think he should know that what he has achieved goes far past knocking balls over a net, and has changed my life, and the world, for the better…. That’s the power and the gift of a shining example. Thank you for your thoughts. God bless :)
Rafa is a life lesson ... No matter what give ur best and work hard
I'm in tears...I cannot believe we have just a few weeks left to see Rafa play on tour... No more amazing passing shots, no more amazing banana FH shots, no more amazing backhands... I have been closely following Rafa's and Roger's careers and watched all their matches for the last 20 years.. I woke up during nights at GS played on other continents just to watch them play. I had nights of watching their matches and then going to work without sleeping, just with the energy they gave me with their performances. Just like I felt when Roger retired, the day when Rafa will too, it will feel like a door will be closing forever on a part of my life, as a tennis fan. When it comes to players like Rafa and Roger, that GOT quote applies best: "We shall never see their like again".
no more pull his panty
The performance of nadal in these two Barcelona and Madrid open in these 3 weeks is worse than the last game a year ago, no in side out forehand and backhand, the toppin disappeared.
His level today is only 50percent of his prime. Hope he could back to 75 in order to get to semi in the French open
Great words - I have felt exactly the same over the past 2 decades watching tennis. Roger and Rafa's rivalry, respect, conduct and their incredible level on the tour has been a big part of why tennis is so popular now. Our generation was lucky to have been able to see 2 of the greatest of all time play so many epic games and in many years to come we will continue to refer that era as the golden era for men's tennis.
Yes, same. Without Rafa, tennis is just not the same anymore. He is an extraordinary champion. The greatest of all time, forever a legend, the best sportsman there is. Could watch him play forever, even if he only plays a first round. But I understand, I guess he doesn't want to play if he can't be confident that he can win. Because this is Rafa, he is all out there to win. Rafa forever!
Well said❤
Man I’m fucking crying as 29 year old watching him since a little kid this hurts af, gracias Rafa!
Me too 😢I’m also 29
The greatest clay court player ever
By far...
Best player ever. No player won as much as a percentage of events entered. If he plays a tournament he’s statistically much more likely to win it then any other player and even more so when the reaches a final. That’s the GOAT!
Now imagine if he was not injury prone @@yussepig6629
112-3 record at the french open. 14 titles, that is not just a statistical anomaly. its surreal. beyond belief.
@@yussepig6629Nonsense, his stats don't match up to Novak's overall.
Rafa is the GOAT on Clay only. Novak is multi surface GOAT and has the most key GOAT records.
Djokovic has been ranked No. 1 for a record total of 423 weeks (over double Rafa's total) in a record 13 different years, and finished as the year-end No. 1 a record eight times. Djokovic has won a record 24 Grand Slam men's singles titles, including a record ten Australian Open titles. Overall, he has won 98 singles titles, including a record 71 Big Titles: 24 majors, a record 40 Masters, and a record seven ATP Finals. Djokovic is the only man in tennis history to be the reigning champion of all four majors at once across three different surfaces. In singles, he is the only man to achieve a triple Career Grand Slam, and the only player to complete a career Golden Masters, a feat he has achieved twice. He has played more matches vs top 10 players, than anyone else in the history of men's tennis & has the most wins vs top 10 players and best win percentage ratio vs top 10 players in the history of men's tennis.
Novak has the record Indian Wells titles (nicknamed the 5th slam), and the record Sunshine Double titles.
Rafa has been present for 95%+ of Novak's career and is only 11 months older than Novak. Novak was prevented from playing in 4 slams and a number of other tournaments, where he was favourite to win most of them, due to the COVID situation (which is different to missing tournaments due to injury).
Rafa will be forever in our hearts (and his forehand too)
big banana forehand
We will miss you Rafa! Such a great champion! And an amazing human being! I'm so sad. 😢
i will miss u too. vamos!!!
It was 7 in the morning in Korea when the match ended and Im starting my day with such a huge emotional feeling
He will be remembered forever.
The King of clay, the king of Tennis
Vamos Rafa!
Positive emotions like Rafa said!
Rafa is Tennis
This guy taught us to fight, to never give up even when things goes not good, it's really sad to see him go, it really hurts, he was like tornado on court, he was so passionate about what he did, had so much knowledge, he is a Rafael Nadal.
It is not just about an unprecedented FH or DLs or else. This guy has been embodiment of tenacity, dedication, devotion, work ethics, and fighting on the tennis court like on the battlefield, which is life itself. I remembered his will when I was down, ill or injured, when things went bad. Thank you for the undying inspiration transcended, in my book, beyond tennis, beyond sports...Thank you Rafa...
Well said!
First time I saw Nadal play was in 2004 against Roddick in the Davis Cup, and he immediately caught my eye: the energy, the passion, and his unique style of play made him such a pleasure to watch. His rivalry with Federer up to 2010 was one of the most exciting matchups in any sports. And just when we thought it could not get any better, he squared off with Djokovic for the next 12 years, going head to head pushing tennis up to levels that was out of this world, and such an immense joy to watch.
Sadly, his career was (too) frequently interrupted by injuries, but boy did he show tenacity and determination to come back time and time again, until now the sands of time have finally caught up with him. Still, to achieve getting back to competitive tour level of tennis after 1.5 absence at this age is simply incredible in itself and a testimony to the will-power, endurance and spirit this man possesses, and with which he has captivated and inspired millions of fans around the world, staying humble and down-to-earth all this while, and showing respect to everyone.
Because of this, he is by far my most loved, most watched and most adored sportman of all times, nobody can come close to what he has meant to me, and to millions of others.
Thank you Rafa for being Rafa and for showing the world not only your fantastic tennis but also you are quite simply an amazing human being. We will miss you, tennis will miss you but you live on in our memories.
Vamos!!!
Bravo! Excellent comments for all Rafa fans!
This is so hard to accept. Rafa you've been the greatest sportsman, the legend. Rafa is unmatched, the greatest of all time, together with his sportsmanship and humbleness and fighting spirit. I can't believe we are truly coming to an end of Rafa era. Tennis will never be the same without Rafa Nadal in the ranks. He is a true champion, fighter, like a lion. It's been a remarkable journey watching him grow from a young bull looking like a little Tarzan to a mature lion.
Thank you, you have expressed my feelings exactly.
How many slams did ur GOAT won in rafa era 😂😂😂😂
I was very moved to see Rafa play. His speech and his Humility. Last night hè had a smile. Hè said: it i had the privilege to turn my passion into a profession.
Thank you. RAFA
Roger fan here but tons of respect for Rafa . My best tennis memories are all coming from these two legends . Hope you have happy retirement and enjoy new chapter of your life .
First Roger,now Rafa…😢😢Tennis will never be the same without them for me. The greatest to ever play this game. Unbelievable how time flies. Feels like yesterday I was rooting for Roger matches 💔
I'm thinking the same...sad
Well this isn't official retirement yet!! But i feel you though
One of the greatest. Not the
@@Nyjeezyyes, besides Federer, but not besides Djokovic - youre a triggered fan of Nole, right? He will never reach what Federer & Nadal is in our hearts. ♥️🇪🇦🇨🇭
The greatest is nole. Let’s not get caught up in sentimental and emotional clap trap just because of this video. Yes it’s wholesome and sad to see the end of Rafa, but y’all need to put on your realist hat on and simply Novak is the greatest. No RUclips video, tribute, documentary is ever going to change that. And I’m a fed head (mentioned this is numerous other debates) but sadly even I hate to admit it Djokovic is the best. Rafa is prolly 2nd and sadly fed 3rd
Imagine if they do that at the Roland Garros, that would make a super moment to live live
They cant do it for time issues. Imagine lower 14 flags.. 😂
Oh, they’ll do something. I don’t know what they’ll do, but it will definitely be something special😉
Will he go to Roland Garros?
It is smart of him to bow out here to a home crowd
If they do there
His statue will full of flags and flowers
its almost like he won the tournament with the amount of cheers he's getting, what a player!
Leave off. It’s sentiment
Come stato recapitato rafa in fot pol
I don't know whether I will watch tennis without you on tour 😢.... Thanks for the moments, since 2005 huge fan of Rafa. Goat 🎉
Rafa, you are my all time fav. The energy, humbleness you brought to the game is amazing !! ❤❤ Thank you so much 🙇♂️🙇♂️
Rafa, you have been such a great champion through out your carrier. Thank you for being such an inspiration to millions around the world. May god bless you and ur family. Love and respect from India.🙏
Wow my favorite player a amazing career
Thank you Nadal for giving me everything in tennis
King of clay, King of tennis
Vamos Rafa!
King of Tennis
Sorry that is a no
Nice try though
King of Clay but king of tennis, in your dreams😂
And both of you are the king of clowns, congratulations🤣
@@gpet-dr2bs😂
King of tenis?
I can’t believe it’s almost over. What a joy it has been to watch this man play. Absolute warrior. Never say die attitude. The intensity to win every point like it’s his last. The emotions he’s created in all of us are indescribable. Viva Rafa! ❤
The most exciting competitor to have ever graced a tennis court! An outstanding player and an extraordinary man! And my all time favourite forever! GOAT Rafa!!🩷🩷👑👑
Yours and Roger's playing style will always be unique.. Nobody can replace that...
Thank you Rafa 💓
Gracias 🙁
You have been more than a good example for all generations...and we always are going to love you❤
i love uu tooo el senorito despacito
The greatest player to ever set foot on the red dirt. His never say die fighting spirit giving his best until the last point will always be remembered.
Gracias Rafa
I’m tearing up knowing this was his last Madrid Open. His retirement is coming closer and closer each match, and it’s devastating for us. Rafa will always be close to our hearts and I wish you all the best❤️
Crazy that when i started following Rafa we were both in our 20's and as he approaches the end of his career he's pushing 40 and i'm already there lol. Thank you Rafa for years of excitement, good memories and great people that i've met through shared admiration for you. It's been a privilege to live to enjoy your extraordinary talent, people will remember you for decades to come, but we've been the fortunate ones to actually experience the power of VAMOSSS!!! ❤🔥
Thank you for all the memories Rafa. We were sooo blessed with you passion, talent and desire to win. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
thank you for all the memories Rafa....🙏🙏🙏😢
everything has a beginning and and end, but what an incredible ride and career it was. Surreal.
Rafa you mean the world to me...I love you man ! Thank you to the Parera family as well as Uncle Toni and Carlos...thank you, thank you...Yall helped make the world a happier place in yalls time. Never will I forget you all. Vamos !
You will be missed by every tennis fan in every corner of the world. Muchas Gracias Rafa!
Thank you for everything.. I doubt I will ever come across a sportsman or even a human being like you.. you will always be my role model and inspiration to be better.. Thank you for all the memories will be grateful to you.. lots of love
Please lord, let him win RG 2024 ❤
Been Nadal's fan since he first started playing. He will always be the reason I watched tennis, the reason I stayed awake at 2 am to watch him play, the reason I celebrate with his every winning and cry with his every losses. You will always be my fav sportsman ❤❤❤❤
man i’m going to miss this dude so much literally 20 years of pain, joy, entertainment, sadness, happiness every emotion possible
All those years I took it for granted… it felt like he’s gonna play forever. But very soon I will never get to see Rafa on tour again… i’m lost for words
My chest… I’m crying. You will be missed. Farewell from Madrid legend! A few more farewell then the last one I’m sure I won’t be able stop bawling.
a lot of emotions for me to see him leave the court and tell m'y self that he will never come back
Gracias Rafa from Algeria
From India....I started watching tennis because of Pete Sampras winning Wimbledon 1999 & 2000...but from 2004 onwards Tennis for was watching RAFA....thnx for everything rafa you are a an icon of the game....
I started watching tennis long before you, and Sampras was my hero, I never thought I would love another player like that. Then came Rafa, and I had 2 heroes. But I don't think I'll be lucky enough to find another player to replace those two in my heart.
@@michelez715 absolutely...
The greatest ever to play on this particular surface. Thank you for the memories Rafa. You shall always be remembered as the greatest ever to hold the tennis racket.
This is one reason I love this sport: people take pride in their champions !
Great and Noble Person 👍🌹
Ever since Rafa set foot on court, I have been an ardent fan and will be forever. He is one of the reasons for me to love tennis. All the very best in whatever you do.❤️
What an illustrious career as a tennis pro. Anyone would be proud of what he’s achieved. Excellente!
Sad seeing my idol hang up the racket. Greatest fighter and clay court player in tennis history. In my opinion the goat.
WE LOVE YOU FOREVER, UR SO GREAT.
Iam a Federer fan but always respect Rafa. Greatest player, very humble person and true champion.
Hats off Rafael Nadal - the real fighter ,the real hero.
It's very difficult but I wish he can add one more GS title at French Open.
Thank you Rafa for all the joy you have given.
Raf Day For Rafa!!! We Love Him!!! Adios Amigo!!! I met him in Abu Dhabi twice...Great Guy!!! Great Plyer!!! Vamos!!!
Been a big fan of rafa for years the way he plays, the way he conducts himself and lives up to our hopes Everytime by Fighting, there is no greater inspiration for me than the king of clay, and perhaps the greatest of all time, the emotion himself, Rafael Nadal
When Agassi retired I thought that I would lose my passion for tennis but came along Rafa. What a ride it has been. Hoping for 1 more French Open.
I am crying cause when he started to be a hero I was 20 years younger.... gosh what warrior
Rafa is the greatest player ever not cause of wins or grand slams it’s the way he played the game and the intensity he brought to every match!It’s like watching a totally different sport. Thank you Rafa for all the amazing years I’ll make sure my son knows who you are and how you put everything into every point. Really thank you thank you thank you for everything your brought to the sport you are a true champion and athlete. Vamos!!
Well said!!
THANK YOU RAF!

Great warrior with great heart and passion. Incredible career and unforgettable performances. Gracias Rafa
A great athlete and a beautiful person as well. Nadal will be remembered AND LOVED for all time!
I loved tennis with Rafa when roland garros has been being broadcasted on live tv in Turkey when I was a child. I admire Rafa's determination and sportsmanship ever since. Great athlete and great character. Gracias Rafa!!
The only reason I have started watching tennis !! My superhero Rafa since when I was 11 and i’m 29 now ! A lot of great memories i have with your journey, and thanks god that I could watch one of your match in reality when I was living in Miami, thanks Rafa for all the inspiration you gave us through all the years, you are the King of clay, Spain’s raging bull, when everyone hopeless you always have the will ,and come back for wining a point, a match, a championship , a grand slam !!! Dear Rafa, words can’t describe how great, humble and gentle you are. Vamos Rafa to all the happiness I wish you have for the rest of your life.
Thank you, Rafa. You will always be my favorite tennis player of all time. Let's win the French Open one last time.
I M Missing Rafa Enjoy Happy With Your Beautiful 💕 Family ❤ Thanks for Hardwork Take Care ❤Tears in My Eyes Forever ❤
No words to describe this man
There will never be another RAFA!!!😢❤😘
N̊e̊v̊e̊r̊,̊ẘi̊l̊l̊ s̊t̊o̊p̊ ẘåt̊c̊h̊i̊n̊g̊ t̊e̊n̊n̊i̊s̊ t̊h̊e̊ m̊o̊m̊e̊n̊t̊ h̊e̊ r̊e̊t̊i̊r̊e̊s̊😢
The best of the best. He always going to be my favourite 😢❤
Thank you Rafa for everything you gave me with your amazing attitude and dedication, that goes beyond tennis, you gave me life lesson but it’s not over, we are gonna fight until the end like you always does. One last dance in Paris champion, make it 15 and go in glory💪
Rafa you are my all time favorite sportsman and a true idol. I ask that you consider coming back one more year if your health allows it. Your tennis is still great you just need more matches and health
Rafa earned money the hard way...with more than full dedication and painfully bandaged fingers.
I would love to see him play another year, but he has his precious family now, and I understand that after giving his life to tennis, he has other things to enjoy now. Nothing will erase the joy (and stress, sometimes!) that he gave us.
the end of the best era of tennis is here, first Fed and this year Nadal, the 2 goats, we will never see players like them ever again
that is sadly extremely true ... i mean there is Carlos but damn all of the top 100 are boring ass basically the same players
Thank you Rafa for your passion, hard work, and dedication to this game. I have enjoyed watching your games, magical top spins, unbelievable curved shots, steep angles, unmatched reach and unlimited stamina on the court.... Thank you for providing us with beautiful memories, exciting moments, and an elegant era of tennis. Stay top spinning the rest of your life with joys and happiness :)
God of Clay! A career to remember, certainly. Unparalleled aptitude and inexorable fighting spirit. Good combination
Rafa will always be the King👑🥎🏆 ~ he's my favorite tennis player of all time, and always will be!💕
Novak is the king, Rafa is a knight
What a player - a dude with class!
Thank You Rafa♥️
Best claycourter ever. Never thought he could play that long, because of his hard gameplay. I thought when he is 30 it would be over, he prooved something else
You were the best player
Rafa, I wish you all the best for your future tournament. God bless you always.
Amazing RAFA... Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vamos Rafa. Gracias for everything you've done for tennis!
Rafa a Phenomenon ❤
I CRIED😢😢😢😢😢
Ich als sehr sehr grosser Federer Fan verneige mich von einem der grössten Sportler überhaupt,es war eine Ehre mitten in der Nacht aufzustehen und Ihm zuzusehen,wie Er gegen Roger spielte,wären da nicht so viele verletzungen gewesen,er hätte 30 GS.
Solche 2 wie Rafa und Fedex wird es nie mehr geben,danke Rafa gniesse deinen Ruhestand mit deiner Familie,und hoffentlich noch einzelne Showspiele mit Roger Federer.
Simple the best❤❤
Great man! Spectacular tennis player! Great example even for generations to come
FELICIDADES RAFA ✨ ORGULLO DE ESPAÑA 🇪🇦💯🇪🇦❤❤❤❤❤
Such a good bloke, God bless him.
Thank u Rafa ❤
I am a die-hard Roger fan. Thank you so much Rafa for what you have done for the game. One of the best player to ever play tennis and definitely the best clay court player of all time. Hope you win 1 more french open. All the best Rafa
EL DEPORTISTA ESPAÑOL , HISPANOAMERICANO Y UNIVERSAL, MÀS GRANDE DE LA HISTORIA
I cannot wait for French open.. that ceremony for Nadal will be priceless.
Love you so much Rafa ♾️💜 For me, you are the greatest champion 🏆🎾 you are the GOAT 👑🙏
thank you
It's been Serena, Roger, Rafael and Novak...each unique, each one a legend...never to be forgotten ❤
Rafa will always be remembered
Simply the greatest ever on clay. No one can contest that. We may never see another player like Rafa on clay. Ever. Just thinking about his achievements is mind blowing. How on earth did he win 14 grand slams on clay, and still remained human. Unbelievable. Look, one day all sportsmen will give in to age and nagging injuries. If not for these Rafa had the skills to win these clay court tournaments for ever. Amongst the contemporary players I see no one with sufficient skills to beat Rafa in his twenties on clay. None. There are good players but not good enough to prevail over Rafa. It’s like he was born on clay. He will always be the reference point for achievers on clay going forward. Here’s wishing him a wonderful life, post retirement. May he find something worthy to occupy him and to keep him happy in his remaining years on earth.
Just to add, in my opinion Rafa has the most effective and dangerous forehand in the history of tennis.
I agree with you, but Pete Sampras had a terrific forehand, especially the running forehand.
You brought me into tennis . Im a tennis fan and able to enjoy the younger ones because of you. A big thank you
