In 40 days, a certain Bebecito who has been an endless source of smiles 😁, laughter 😂 & tears 😭 will be reaching the VERY advanced age of 4️⃣0️⃣!

So from now until his special day, I’ll be posting a daily 🧵 of facts about Rafa & his amazing career, based on the numbers 1-40…

2️⃣3️⃣ - The number of matches Rafa won against No.1 ranked players.

The first of his victories was over Roger Federer at the Miami Open in 2004 and he has held the record for the most wins against top-ranked players since 2019, when he beat N*vak Dj*kovic in the final of the Italian Open, breaking his previous long-standing tie with Boris Becker.

1. I've said this several times before on this platform, but the exact moment I knew that I was going to do everything I could to avoid infection with SARS-CoV-2 was when I read an email in February 2020 confirming that anosmia was a cardinal symptom of Covid-19.

Rafa Nadal had a beautiful quote in press about treating people with kindness

“You gained the hearts of people with your results as a champion but also as the human being you are. When we speak with the ball kids, with drivers.. they all say you were the most respectful player. Always nice to everyone. Is this something you’re maybe as proud of as your results?”

Rafa: “Of course. I always say the same. The results are results. Of course I’ll be remembered for what I did on court. That’s gonna stay there, without a doubt. To the bigger audience, you can in some way lie, but you can’t lie to the people who are next to you every single day. I’m not talking about family. I talk about team. People who work behind the scenes. They are able to see you every single day, how you react. How you are after losing, after winning. How you behave during all these moments. The drivers. The ball kids. At the end, I want to be remembered as a guy that people are happy when I come back to the places. To see me again. That’s the thing. That’s the important thing. When you are retired and you don’t go to the places for a while, if you feel that people who are working behind the scenes, that they know how you are in real life.. these people want to see you again and they’re happy to see you again.. it’s good news. And I had that feeling in almost every place.” 🥹
