Excerpts from Rafael Nadal’s ‘In Touch’ blog:

“Roger gave me a real thrashing in the first set … I was not managing to think clearly. Federer is not only a champion, but also a gentleman and an elegant rival. He did not try to humiliate me, he did not draw blood. I don’t think he wanted to win like that against a frightened opponent who hardly put up any resistance. He wanted to win against Rafa Nadal.” - Roland Garros 2006

“Wimbledon was Rogerio’s garden, his private domain. He strolled around the court sweeping away any opponent who dared to tread on his grass with overwhelming superiority. I reached the final in 2006, and put up as much resistance as he let me. I suffered a worthy, though incontestable defeat: his hair hardly moved out of place. This time it was different. I made him show his best.” - Wimbledon 2007

“Nothing around me was important, time stopped, the voices faded and the stands were no more than mist. Roger and I were alone.” - Wimbledon 2008

Miami gp is literally the worst sport event of all time. Obscenely rich racists, influencers who don't know anything about the sport, terrible no good ugly race track, shitty racing, it's the most disgusting thing i have ever seen

I’m rewatching the 2008 Wimbledon final and my god Roger was so young and beautiful and he had this aura all around him idk how to describe it

On the topics of Rafa being so…shaped, it’s hilarious how buff he is compared to like, all the other tennis players except for the new Spanish Tennis Star Carlos Alcaraz, who is also a unit. Most tennis stars are lean and muscled but those 2’s legs are like tree trunks my good

Serena Williams likes to tweet about how she and Rafa are “booty siblings” because they are stacked compared to everyone else. If you google that phrase and Serena she’s been tweeting that for like 10 years lol

This is self explanatory..... GREATEST KIT FOR THE GREATEST MATCH (Roger's kit in that match was also amazing, it was just a perfect matchup)

Best kit Rafa ever put on...it was a winner's kit through and through
