Federer says goodbye to Nadal in tears

the murcian Carlos Alcaraz, 19, took to social networks to show her excitement at witnessing a very special day. The Polish woman also saw it on television Iga Swiatek, 21, who doesn’t mind staying up even though she has a morning workout. The two young number one in world tennis showing the legacy they left behind Roger Federerassurance Rafael Nadal. They have more than 42 Grand Slam titles, 20 and 22 respectively. His weeks at the top of the rankings, the Davis Cups, the Olympic medals. Numbers get success, they can’t show all they mean.

Like Alcaraz and Swiatek, millions of people looked for a way to see the big game. Federer warned Nadal that the right knee no longer gives rest, that he will officially say goodbye to Laver Cup that he, through his company, made as a Ryder Cup for the racket. The two have been in constant communication for a long time, their rivalry in every fight turned into friendship that made their legend grow. And the 41-year-old Swiss wants the 36-year-old Spaniard by his side. A dream farewell is guaranteed at the O2 in London, before a dedicated audience. passion Admiration. Accomplices throughout the day, as well as in the last training session of the Basel team, they spread smiles on the track, but also class and champion character. And a lot of emotion at the end.

Competitive to the last point, they fell 4-6, 7-6 (2) and 11-9 in 2h.10′ before the Americans Frances Tiafoe and Jack Sock. Playing bad guys in the movie was not easy. Sock is experienced, he was a victim of Federer and Nadal at Laver in Prague 2017. Along with Sam Querrey, he lost 6-4, 1-6 and 10-5. Roger and Rafa did not take advantage of the match point at 10-9 in the supertiebreak.

It would have been icing on the cake, but it didn’t change anything. The tears of the feelings of the Helvetian, his family, as well as Rafa Nadal, no matter how hard he tries to hold back his tears, are worth more than winning or not winning this match.

It was surprising that they were unable to tie the win after trying to lift the ‘break’ down in the second set and have a rare chance in the super tiebreak. Perhaps such an offensive was not expected from the North American duo, which has no mercy in history. There is no extra award for merits.

It was Federer’s day. Nothing could have been better than ending it with a victory, more than a year after putting the racket aside, but the result was soon forgotten because of the tribute he received at the end of the court. wimbledon 2021. The knee barely allowed him to prepare for a match in pairs. But he has the gift of the chosen ones. He left one of the hits that will appear in the season summaries. Parallel right and the ball just goes through a hole its size left between the net stick and the tape. luck? Maybe. But you won’t know from him.

Two greats on one mission, with Nadal also improving himself as he is busier with his impending fatherhood and also not showing enough form at the US Open, after a stomach injury and more at home his head

“You will always be our number one.” “Miss you”. Banners in support of Federer, as well as Nadal for refreshing the magical duo, ‘Fedal’. The Balearic also left his genius behind. A touch of the back hitting the net on the side. The ball expands by millimeters. Tiafoe came to congratulate him. Another sign of distinguishing the two phenomena.

One, the oldest, left it. Others want to continue, not in vain he succeeded in Australian Open and Roland Garros. The youngest of the ‘Big 3’, Novak Djokovic (35), who experienced it from the bench, also continues. For once allies.

After midnight, Federer sealed his matches with 1,850, 1,525 in singles and 224 in doubles. His career, his personality, the double final with Rafa Nadal will remain in the memory. The result and the opponents will surely be forgotten.
