Fedal at Roland Garros 🇫🇷🗼

[caelestis31]

Never really post here or anything but i was just thinking about how long rafa has been with me. I started watching tennis when i was barely 10 somewhere around grade school everything is blurry but i was so so so young back then and now im nearing the end of my academic years and rafa has seen and been with me through it all. I might not have been at the very beginning of his tennis journey but he has with mine, my journey in life. I have grown up with him. I can’t and don’t know how to express how very dear he is to me. The moment I first watched him play I knew he was always going to be the one I root for. Rafa made me love tennis. I’m gonna miss him so much and i dont know how to deal with the fact that this is the end to this journey. He deserves his rest tho and i wish him happiness ❤️

Novak Djokovic's Emotional Plea to Rafael Nadal: 'Don't Leave Tennis'

On October 10, Rafael Nadal, 38, announced his impending retirement from tennis, set for after the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga next month. However, during what may have been their final competitive encounter, long-time rival Novak Djokovic urged Nadal to reconsider his decision.

In an emotional on-court interview following his victory over Nadal at the "Six Kings Slam" exhibition in Saudi Arabia, Djokovic implored, "Don't leave tennis, man." He emphasized the depth of their rivalry, describing it as "very intense," and expressed a desire for them to reminisce about their shared experiences over drinks on a beach someday.

The match, which ended with Djokovic triumphing in straight sets, 6-2, 7-6 (7/5), was labeled by organizers as potentially Nadal's last singles match as a professional. Nadal himself had expressed uncertainty about his fitness for singles play in Malaga.

Before this exhibition, Djokovic and Nadal had faced off 60 times on the main tour, with Djokovic holding a narrow 31-29 advantage. Their last meeting took place at the Paris Olympics on the same Roland Garros courts where Nadal has claimed 14 French Open titles, though Djokovic won that match decisively, 6-1, 6-4.

The latest encounter was largely one-sided, with Djokovic quickly wrapping up the first set in just 31 minutes. However, the crowd rallied behind Nadal, pushing him to push the second set to a tie-break, where he managed to showcase some of his trademark flair with an iconic fist pump before ultimately falling to Djokovic's relentless serving.

Post-match, Djokovic reflected on the emotional weight of the day, remarking, "It was a very special day because it was the last time I play my biggest rival." He shared his sentiments about witnessing the retirements of fellow tennis greats, noting, "It's tough in some way to see them go, because all of my career, basically, I've played with them."

After receiving a golden tennis racket as a tribute, Nadal thanked Djokovic for their incredible rivalry and the unforgettable moments they shared on the court.

The exhibition event also highlighted Saudi Arabia's growing presence in the tennis world, following last year’s introduction of the Next Gen ATP Finals in Jeddah and upcoming plans to host the WTA Tour Finals in Riyadh for the next three years.

While Nadal transitions into his new role as ambassador for the Saudi Tennis Federation, Djokovic acknowledged the mixed reactions to tennis's embrace of Saudi Arabia, choosing to focus on the positive aspects. "There's always going to be criticism," he stated, emphasizing the importance of perspective in evaluating such developments.

As Nadal prepares to step away from the sport, the tennis community reflects on the legacy of their storied rivalry and the impact they have made on the game.

French Open: Zverev Reaches Fourth Straight SF, Faces Ruud Next

German Alexander Zverev: Fourth-seed German Alexander Zverev defeated No.11 seed Australian Alex de Minaur to book his spot in the French Open semifinals for the fourth consecutive year. The German, who played back-to-back five-set matches on Court Philippe-Chatrier in the third and fourth rounds that totalled a combined eight-plus hours, registered a 6-4, 7-6(5), 6-4 win in Wednesday night’s last men’s singles quarterfinal. Zverev, who is chasing his first major title, rallied past Tallon Griekspoor and Holger Rune in five sets earlier this week, while he also overcame 14-time record champion Rafael Nadal in the first round and former World No. 7 David Goffin in the second round. "I have a mindset that you have to work harder than anyone else to be the best player. I think the best players are all doing that. "I like to work to my absolute limit, and if I do that, then playing five sets, all of a sudden, is not that difficult. I’ve been doing that over many, many years now, and I’m happy it’s paying off, still paying off. I’m happy to be in another semi-final, and hopefully, I can win one," Zverev said after the win. The German squandered a break advantage in the first set to take the opener. He then rallied from a 3/5 deficit in the second-set tie-break to take full command. Zverev then produced front-foot tennis in the third set and recovered from a late wobble when he failed to serve out the match at 5-3, breaking De Minaur in the next game to advance after two hours and 59 minutes. De Minaur, who upset World No. 5 Daniil Medvedev in the fourth round, was competing in his first Roland Garros quarterfinal and second at a major. Zverev is the 11th man in the Open era to reach at least four consecutive semi-finals at Roland-Garros. By reaching his eighth Grand Slam semi-final, he and Daniil Medvedev now share the ATP tour lead for the most Grand Slam semifinal appearances among players born in 1990 or later, according to Roland Garros website. Now on an 11-match winning streak, the 27-year-old German will take on two-time Roland-Garros finalist Casper Ruud of Norway in the semifinal, in a bid to break through to the final weekend in Paris for the first time. The Norwegian Ruud received a walkover from Novak Djokovic ahead of their quarter-final clash. Read the full article
