would like a fedole/rafole/fedal fic wherein it is 20k words of the most insane pining between old men who’ve driven their dynamics into the ground over two decades of manic gay rivalry and as this uncommunicative emotional edging comes to a head the last 2k words is Andy Murray in a velvet robe and ascot closing a storybook from his chair in front of the fire with his pipe and telling us the real gay sex was the friends we made along the way

r*fole = positive personal relationship ruined by negative professional relationship

f*dal = positive professional relationship eventually becoming a little bit of personal relationship 😌 (but still mostly professional)

f*dole = negative professional relationship all the way LOL although i do think federer’s mostly over it now and i really do think it could become a positive one when novak retires!!

Watching two injured grandpas playing tennis is still very entertaining

[twistywisty-curvyswervy]

[michelle-ma-cherie]

the way they edited first two minutes is like Roger and Novak having a competition who would make a better complement😭

[kb9-ships-mistercriky]

I had just stopped crying

anyway someone explain to me why he also posted this photo (obviously he's trying to join the crowd of Rafa's lovers, but he's always done it. and he does it well)

“Djokovic is the player I have faced the most, but for me, my biggest rival has been Federer. Because, when I arrived on the circuit, it was Federer who was there and he was the first. In the years when I was at my best in every sense of the word, it was Roger and Novak. But in the first years, which are the ones that leave a special mark on you, Roger was always there. I think, and I don't know why, that my rivalry with the two of them has been more intense than the one they had between them. I don't know exactly what the reason is, but I feel that the world perceives it that way. We would have to find the reason. With Roger, I am clear that it is because it was a very sharp contrast in styles and ways of seeing and approaching the sport. And with Novak, of course, it has been an incredible challenge.”
