Novak Djokovic to Rafa Nadal after losing to Alcaraz in the Australian Open final
“I wanna speak to the legendary Rafa who’s in the stands. It feels very weird to see you there and not here 😂. I just wanna say it’s an honor to share the court with you and to have you watching the finals here.. it’s the first time for me. Obviously a bit of a strange feeling but thank you for being present.”
“Too many Spanish legends. It felt like it was 2 against 1 tonight. It wasn’t fair but okay” 😭😭😭
Carlos Alcaraz to Rafa Nadal after beating Novak Djokovic to win the Australian Open
“For me, as Djokovic said, it’s a little bit weird seeing Rafa in the stands. For me it’s such an honor playing in front of you. We had great battles on the court, not too many, but for me it was an honor sharing the court, practicing, playing matches, in the locker room.. now to see you watching my matches.. for me it’s just a privilege. Thank you very much for being here.” 🥹

Gracias @diarioas por el cariño y el trato que me habéis brindado a lo largo de toda mi carrera, y por organizar una gala tan especial y llena de sorpresas.
Gracias también a todos los aficionados y deportistas por tantas muestras de afecto; me las llevo conmigo para siempre. Prometo dedicar el tiempo necesario para leer con calma todas las cartas que me entregasteis ayer 🤗
Rafa Nadal:
"I think Sinner and Alcaraz need someone to push them... Fonseca? I think he's still young and not in a position to think about that. They need someone to push them a bit because they've set themselves apart from everyone else and in any form they can beat anyone, until they come up against that other player. Those of us watching from the outside have the feeling that even if they play badly, they're going to keep winning and reaching all the finals."
