The moment has come and he retired very quietly. None of the tennis greats have attended, nor did he have a great send off video. The final on-court interview wasn’t in English either.
Tbh I liked this way tho. It was very simple and I would have cried hella lot had it been done like the Roger Federer’s retirement. I got to watch him fight for one last time and his fighting spirit was shown again in 2nd set. Thank you Rafa for the memories.
‘Just a small boy from Mallorca’ had me in tears. Rest easy big man.
