He's always been a class act btw. Very rarely spoke in a disrespectful or disparaging tone about his colleagues. Can't say the same about other tennis dads but we take this Robert W. 😋

🇨🇭 Roger Federer on Rafa being happy for him for winning Roland Garros in 2009, after Nadal suffered his first of only 3 defeats on the Parisian clay that year:
“ [Rafael Nadal] told me today that he cried when I won the French Open in 2009, he was so happy for me. So it’s a great rivalry. He only knows his career with me on the court. I knew a few years without him, which was nice, because there was no Rafa which made things a little bit easier! He deserves everything and all the praise, he’s a great person."
Beyond the often harsh debates between sporting fan bases, whether it’s Nadal vs Federer or Djokovic, Jordan Vs LeBron, Ronaldo vs Messi, there should always be an underlying foundation based on *respect*.
Respect for what these sporting legends have done, and continue to do. 👏
“Tennis is a tough sport, there are no draws, but if there was going to be one, I would have been very happy to accept one tonight, and share it with Rafa, really” - Roger Federer
Happy 42nd Birthday, Legend 🙌
Knowing that you have contributed so much to the sport of tennis and that you will be remembered as probably the greatest tennis player of all time, but certainly as the most loved, respected and most estimated player in Tennis history!
