lots of takes about rafa’s retirement (and by extension, roger/andy/serena’s too) and what shouldve been his last event etc but idk i think there’s something hopelessly poetic about all of them not really getting the fairytale ending but instead fighting to the bitter end. these legends would not have been where they are today if they weren’t willing to risk the perfect ending, and if it happens to end in defeat then who are we to say that takes away from what they have achieved?

#sorry i am easily swayed by the human spirit n the sheer stubbornness of it all!#love when athletes look destiny in the eye and say . fuck THAT ill do this another 10 years if i have to!!!#like if rafa wanted to retire at the top we would not have witnessed the career he has post 2014/2015 #and i understand ppl fixating on davis cup since it is his last event but if u think ab it this entire szn has been a farewell tour no?#anw i get the complaints ab the tribute vid being rushed etc but rafa himself was also very vague ab his retirement timing #im not surprised if the organizers themselves were rushing to get everything tgt LOL
