Honoured and grateful for @TheEmmys nomination for RAFA.

This documentary tells a very personal part of my journey, and none of it would have been possible without everyone who was part of it.

Thank you to the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, to @netflix, Skydance, and to the entire team behind this project. This nomination belongs to all of you 👏🏻

@fawadchaudhry Such blatant misogyny...what an awful comment!

[Sreejan Choudhary @sreejan_c]

Rafa cannot be an inspiration. And I mean that seriously.

Watched the RAFA series on Netflix with my daughters this week. The 9 year old was okay and maybe even excited. The five-year-old had to be - let's say - firmly encouraged to stay seated.

I kept pausing to tell them where I was when some of these matches happened. The 2008 Wimbledon final - Nadal winning his first on grass, at dusk, in what many still call the greatest match ever played. The 2012 epic, which for a lot of people remains the most complete - for me a complete heartbreak. The 2022 comeback - a man who had been told his foot condition might end his career after his first few grand slams, winning not only his 14th Roland Garros but his second AO.

Each of those matches is etched somewhere specific in my memory. The emotions came back watching the documentary like they hadn't gone anywhere.

My daughters of course couldn't relate. They will grow up creating their own moments and their own memories. I hope sport is part of that and maybe even their own matches, who knows.

But I kept coming back to the thought I mentioned at the beginning as I watched the series.

Rafa cannot be an inspiration.

Nobody can look at what he did - the physical punishment, the sheer doggedness, the way he kept coming back when his own body was the opponent - and think: I can do that. He belongs to a handful of people across all of human history, in sport or any other field, who achieved what they achieved.

Holding him up as a template is almost unfair to the rest of us.

But here is what the documentary does show: At the absolute pinnacle of human achievement, he felt self-doubt. He wanted to give up. He lost hope. He questioned himself in ways that will feel familiar to anyone who has ever tried to build something or push through something hard.

And that is the more honest inspiration.

Court Philippe-Chatrier has the words engraved: "Victory belongs to the most tenacious." But the tenacity that matters to most of us isn't the tenacity to win the tournament. It's the tenacity to win your own inner doubts. To show up when everything in you is arguing for staying put.

Showing up isn't just how you succeed. Showing up is the success.

My daughters will figure that out in their own way, in their own time. I just hope they have their own version of those matches to look back on when they need reminding.

Well done Netflix. Made me cry.

At 19 years old Mirra Andreeva is a major champion and it’s all thanks to Mirra. Mirra who put in the work, Mirra who battled for every point, Mirra who believed in Mirra.

Many thanks, Mirra.

Last year the total agriculture income tax collected was less than Rs.10 billion and the tax collected on salaries was Rs. 606 billion...more than 50 times greater than agriculture income tax collection!!!

The fake urgency created in corporate life for absolutely no reason is one of the worst things humans have invented.

@murtazawahab1 Great. Did you see that news about the korangi bridge though?...🤔 People want a solution to actually make this city livable.

[MadihaSaeed @MadihaSSheikh]

A sane perspective...thank you!

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

Interesting: I see a number of netizens are ‘happy’ that US-Iran talks have not resulted in a breakthrough. I don’t know what’s to be happy about: Is it vicarious pleasure because talks were being held in Islamabad? Isn’t in our national interest to have an early end to the conflict? Talks can be held in Timbuktu or anywhere, surely ending the war matters than who is hosting the dialogue, no? THINK!🙏

[MadihaSaeed @MadihaSSheikh]

Lolll our media is so used to special treatment by our politicians and having their "sources/leaks" that being on a level playing field makes them feel sidelined!

[Shiffa Z. Yousafzai @Shiffa_ZY]

That’s because local media was completely sidelined, literally multiplied by zero. No insights, just selfies and ‘out and about in Islamabad’ kind of photos, followed by brief appearances at an empty convention centre focusing on food and logistics for delegates. This is a massive event and effective engagement with local media is missing.

While these peace talks in Islamabad are covered internationally, govt. could also use the opportunity to promote our local journalists to appear on international media and inform the world about what’s happening on ground. Government’s strategy made our journalists’ reporting appear shallow, limiting their ability to provide real insights compared to international journalists.

[Prime Minister's Office @PakPMO]

Islamabad April 11 ,2026.

Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif held a meeting with the Iranian delegation at the Islamabad Talks today.

The Iranian side was led by the Honorable Speaker of the Iranian Consultative Assembly, Mr. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, assisted by Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mr. Abbas Araghchi.

Appreciating Iran’s engagement in the Islamabad Talks, the Prime Minister affirmed Pakistan’s sincere resolve to continue playing its role as a mediator to help build momentum towards achieving meaningful results in the interest of regional and global peace and stability.

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar, Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshall Syed Asim Munir and Interior Minister Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi attended the meeting from Pakistani side.

[MadihaSaeed @MadihaSSheikh]

Fully agree!

[Shahzeb Khanzada @shazbkhanzdaGEO]

If Pakistan can help mediate peace between Iran and the United States, then India and Pakistan can also resolve their disputes through dialogue. It’s time for sane voices to prevail in India because peace benefits both nations.

@Telegraph So who broke the ceasefire Telegraph? Say the name.

Let’s not forget the remarkable efforts of Foreign Secretary Amna Baloch and her team in helping to avert one of the most serious global crises since World War II. More power to Pakistani women.
