He's given everything to this sport. I've been so grateful to watch him through my early teens into my late twenties, and he's still there fighting. One of the greatest of all time for sure. ❤
😭😭😭😭😭 Will miss you my Tennis Player always cheering and crying whenever you lose. May God encamp around you and Family and may healing be your portion. Love❤❤❤❤ from my Heart.
Rafel Nadal is a Great iconic Sports Star of Tennis who is an epitome of Sportsmanship,grace and dignity.People would miss him in the coming years not only as a great tennis player but also his sportsmanship.
dude got a statue at Roland Garros, maybe they'll change Roland Garros to his. name, he got nothing to prove, just enjoy family life rafa. Roger and him changed tennis forever
It's hard watching this legend playing his last matches on tour. He made me fall in love with tennis for more than a decade. His fighting spirit and hard work are such an inspiration. Your legacy is unmatched and i'll keep watching his matches until it's over then i'll shed some tears for one of the best in this sport.
Nessuno è mai stato amato come Rafael,,, lui è emozione forza cuore onore rispetto,,, ha dato se stesso al tennis tanto che per me il tennis senza RAFAEL non è più tennis. Ti amiamo RAFAEL ❤
0:45 days before leaving for Barcelona, really, I didn't know if I could come back 0:47 to compete in an official match, and 0:49 well, I've been able to play for two weeks and here 0:54 it has been an unforgettable week, well 0:58 honestly, the only thing I can do is 1:01 give thanks, it has been an incredible journey that started when I was 1:06 very little and the first time I came here to Madrid if I remember correctly was 1:10 2003, but I think the first time I 1:12 arrived being 1:14 competitive, I believe 1:21 the first time I arrived being competitive in Madrid was 2005, eh 1:28 it was one of the most 1:30 exciting victories I've had in my 1:31 career when It still played on the indoor court, coming from behind at zero, eh. And well, 1:38 from there until today, it has only been 1:40 support and unconditional love from everyone here in 1:45 Madrid. So, I can only give thanks, there's no way to 1:47 thank enough, really. 1:58 I'm going to try to do it without crying 2:02 and doing this without crying is going to 2:03 be hard, Rafa, for everything you have given us. It has been 21 years since you played here 2:08 for the first time, eh. During this time, 2:10 you have grown, you have become a legend, 2:12 one of the best athletes 2:14 in history, and you have left your mark here in Madrid by winning 2:18 the tournament in 2005. 2:21 [Applause] 2:37 If you could please finish lowering that year, oh ah. (Note: The original text includes some gaps, repetitions, and disruptions typical of spoken language.

So grateful to have watched you play all these years. I remember when you played with knee pants sleeveless shirt and long hair. That's how long I've been watching. Will miss you Rafa. Love you. Best going forward.
He has been a fighter throughout. I feel lucky to have watched him from the beginning of his career. When he retires, it will be a great loss for tennis. Thanks Rafa for all the great memories
Nadal lo ha conseguido todo; hasta hacernos sufrir en cada bola durante dos décadas. Cuando sientes tantas emociones hacia una persona nunca deja de ser algo enorme en nuestras vidas. Gracias, Rafa.
Sin palabras!!que emociónante despedida de Madrid. Un homenaje espectacular para el mejor tenista en polvo de ladrillo de la historia!! Vamos Rafa, por siempre!❤
Che sportività in questo torneo!Si celebra il campione di casa, alla fine di un incontro, che tra l'altro ha perso, e si lascia in attesa in un angolino, quasi per punizione, il vincitore!!
It’s just time catches all of us. His shots were still gorgeous. He said it last week, he doesn’t know if he has the stamina for five setters. I have no doubt he will be in Paris one last time. I will be rooting for him to have the best possible time.
I would think based on his wife and sister crying as he spoke that the answer is, unfortunately, yes, barring some minor miracle improvement to his health. He's playing hurt and it shows on the court with a lower velocity serve and his movement to the ball is hindered.
this postmatch ceremony looks like they know better than Rafa if he will ever play Madrid again, for me Nadal looks so confused during whole speech and this trophy from Feliciano was KO, because he literally didn’t say that he quit, he kept saying that all depends on body, Lehecka play perfect agressive game in Madrid, he will problem even for 33 years old Rafa, so it’s not the case
Well, he lost at least another step (acceleration and movement) compared to his already limited 2022 version, and he knows it…. At least he can leave on his own terms unlike Federer .
Mi dispiace per l'eliminazione del sempre grande Rafa Nadal!!!! In ogni caso è stato bello rivederlo in campo e spero di vederlo prima a Roma e poi a Parigi.👏👍❤️🇪🇦
Rafa’s lack of movement to the drop shots was worrying. Let’s hope he gets some more matches in before Paris . Lehecka serve is more effective in altitude and he was just having one of his A game days. Everyone raises their level to play Rafa as they want to show him and the crowd their best.
Nadal non vuole arrendersi al passare del tempo e alla vecchiaia sportiva sarebbe ora che smettesse di giocare e insegnare tennis ai giovani per tirar fuori dei nuovi campioni com'è stato lui
Not matter of confidence or motivation. He cannot physically face 3 out of 5 matches, potentially 3h long each, let's be realistic, he won't not even go to the RG
No way on heart he can win that. RG is between Sinner, Djokovic or Alcaraz. Tsitsipas as outsider. But this Nadal doesn't have not even 1% of chance, let's be realistic
That's your point, but you probably can't see further than that. Djokovic has so much love and support from many and has gained more in the last 3 years. Djokovic is the real GOAT and is a great man with integrity. If he is still number one it is because he knows how to take care of his body and has great dignity.

I agree 💖
And a very nice guy as well!
Probably the most consistently intense player tennis has ever seen... Any match he lost, it wasn't for lack of effort! He deserves great respect!
Nadal is a great tennis player,
More than that he is a great human
We love Rafa the king of clay for ever ❤
I love you rafa,you will be my idol till I die,nobody can replace you as my tennis favorite player.

A "fine,"person who backstabbed his colleague at AO 2022,tha's fine person for you,ah ok.
@@niksmoret2744 I let it slide tbh. No one can imagine the pain Djokovic caused for such a foul hearted being like this Spaniard

Novak is best ever, sorry.
sheee man i grew up watching rafa, an era is really coming to an end
Time discriminates against no one. He was, is and will always be a champion!
Thanks for letting us be part of your amazing tennis journey!!!!

Muy emocional.Grande Rafa ❤👍
Your the Best!!! My favorite male player!!!
I want to go on playing tennis for the next 20 years! 👏
Thansk for everything rafa from a novak fan...
Vamos Rafa 🙏
A true champion and gentleman!
Rafa is a great player and a very good human being too and it's sad but true that his days on Court are over and it can't but be accepted.
Class Act love love Rafa
Nadal lo ha conseguido todo; hasta hacernos sufrir en cada bola durante dos décadas. Cuando sientes tantas emociones hacia una persona nunca deja de ser algo enorme en nuestras vidas. Gracias, Rafa.
1000,EMOCIONES... RAFA... 😢🙏💪
Muy Grande Rafa. El mejor para ver
He lost today,but it was a good week for him,,,,he could play again and compete.
Sin palabras!!que emociónante despedida de Madrid. Un homenaje espectacular para el mejor tenista en polvo de ladrillo de la historia!!
Vamos Rafa, por siempre!❤
Grande Rafa
Why did he have to play today? He just played yesterday.
Grazie Rafa! Cosa faremo senza di te?
the best
Grasias Rafa eres grande
Che sportività in questo torneo!Si celebra il campione di casa, alla fine di un incontro, che tra l'altro ha perso, e si lascia in attesa in un angolino, quasi per punizione, il vincitore!!
Se celebra la despedida de una leyenda. El chico que ganó no se queda como castigo , sino para ver algo histórico y reverando a un gran campeón.

Wish there were English subtitles. Was thrilled to watch all of his matches.
Indonesian loves Rafa, he is the best clay court ever
We ❤ you 🎉❤️❤️❤️
Luv you Nadal forever ❤❤
Love you Rafa, you are my idol. Thank you for what you have given to tennis.
Mis respetos para Rafa un gran deportista.. me gustaría hacerlo cuñado.
Rafa brought a lot of talent and magic to tennis. For that we say, thank you !
As a Roger fan, i can only say two words about this guy...LIVING LEGEND.
Not a fan of Nadal...but am in awe of his speech and his expressions.. Can't wait to see him lift up another trophy
So this is definitely his last ATP Madrid Masters 1000?
I would think based on his wife and sister crying as he spoke that the answer is, unfortunately, yes, barring some minor miracle improvement to his health. He's playing hurt and it shows on the court with a lower velocity serve and his movement to the ball is hindered.
Yes, his body is done. It´s just a „thank you“ farewell tour.

@@zbyszekwodecki1788the trophy is a joke. Rafa is the last person to give a trophy after losing a match. It was a terrible gesture imo.
Mi dispiace per l'eliminazione del sempre grande Rafa Nadal!!!! In ogni caso è stato bello rivederlo in campo e spero di vederlo prima a Roma e poi a Parigi.👏👍❤️🇪🇦
Tranquillo Rafa,non hai nulla da dimostrare❤
Rafa campeón y grande tenista te queremos mucho
Father time
Go Rafa! You’re the best tennis player ever!
Can anyone please translate please humble request want to know wat the legend is speaking,it was so emotional
Für mich ein,, grosser,, Sportler mit viiiel ❤️🍀🍀🍀💋
Grande Nadal. Nadal para siempre.
El Cid Campeador, Hernán Cortés, Agustina de Aragón, Rafa Nadal, they are typical Spanish heroes. Strong peoples, braves and greats.
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
that was close tough match but that game at 5-5 he lost service at love was a disaster
Serena, Roger, now it seems Rafa.
E’ finita un epoca tennistica! Nadal rimarra’ nella storia di questo sport.
Rafa’s lack of movement to the drop shots was worrying. Let’s hope he gets some more matches in before Paris . Lehecka serve is more effective in altitude and he was just having one of his A game days. Everyone raises their level to play Rafa as they want to show him and the crowd their best.
His serves were BOMBS - 225-230sth km/h - WOW! And he is not so tall at all. Just 185.
Why would you give a full-Spanish-interview an English headline?!?
That's easy for HIM to say!🙃
Is he not playing French open then?
Diego Simeone ?
拿度！我愛你❤🎉🎉
Nadal non vuole arrendersi al passare del tempo e alla vecchiaia sportiva sarebbe ora che smettesse di giocare e insegnare tennis ai giovani per tirar fuori dei nuovi campioni com'è stato lui
Too hard for me, please don't look at me. 😫😭😫
F×××ing translate..let me also cry!!
His nearly done
Pit him against Lehecka in Rome and Lehecka will lose...De Minaur Effect
Gold wolf left the chat
Will Rafa be able to play in Rome and in F.O 24 after this loss. He needed at least one trophy before the F.O to keep on fighting confidently.
Not matter of confidence or motivation. He cannot physically face 3 out of 5 matches, potentially 3h long each, let's be realistic, he won't not even go to the RG
He should rest up and recuperate further and get ready for RG’2025.
Antes de arrastrarse por las pistas mejor que se retire
Hope not to see you again.
Djokovic G. O. A. T
PREDATOR ruthless and vicious 425 and still counting 40 , 24 , #8 .. GOAT position sealed
Nadal will win the French Open. This will not be the first time he is injured and then goes on to win a major.
No way on heart he can win that. RG is between Sinner, Djokovic or Alcaraz. Tsitsipas as outsider. But this Nadal doesn't have not even 1% of chance, let's be realistic
Please take your boring ground stroke game and go away!
take another booster it should helps
🤫 you don't have nothing to do with tennis
Say that to his face.
Always great rafa
Rafa, rimarrai sempre ul piu grande! Sei unico e irripetibile...tutti gli altri rimangono ai tuoi piedi. Tutti. Nessuno escluso.
Djokovic will never achieve love and this support like Federer and Nadal did, no matter how many slams will he win more
That's your point, but you probably can't see further than that. Djokovic has so much love and support from many and has gained more in the last 3 years. Djokovic is the real GOAT and is a great man with integrity. If he is still number one it is because he knows how to take care of his body and has great dignity.
😂😂😂😂😂 .. PREDATOR is ruthless and vicious
He is old and got thin hair.
Mitico Nadal !!! for ever !!!!
