Roger Federer is among the millions of tennis fans keeping a close eye on Rafael Nadal’s final professional event this week. The Swiss took to X to pay tribute to the King of Clay, recalling the 20-year journey they took together and how indomitable Nadal pushed Federer to a level he never thought he could achieve.
“You beat me—a lot,” Federer wrote. “More than I managed to beat you. You challenged me in ways no one else could. On clay, it felt like I was stepping into your backyard, and you made me work harder than I ever thought I could just to hold my ground. You made me reimagine my game—even going so far as to change the size of my racquet head, hoping for any edge.”
Vamos, @RafaelNadal!As you get ready to graduate from tennis, I’ve got a few things to share before I maybe get emotional.
Let’s start with the obvious: you beat me—a lot….
