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. 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.

I’m not a very superstitious person, but you took it to the next level. Your whole process. All those rituals. Assembling your water bottles like toy soldiers in formation, fixing your hair, adjusting your underwear... All of it with the highest intensity. Secretly, I kind of loved the whole thing. Because it was so unique—it was so you.

And you know what, Rafa, you made me enjoy the game even more. 

OK, maybe not at first. After the 2004 Australian Open, I achieved the #1 ranking for the first time. I thought I was on top of the world. And I was—until two months later, when you walked on the court in Miami in your red sleeveless shirt, showing off those biceps, and you beat me convincingly. All that buzz I’d been hearing about you—about this amazing young player from Mallorca, a generational talent, probably going to win a major someday—it wasn’t just hype.

We were both at the start of our journey and it’s one we ended up taking together. Twenty years later, Rafa, I have to say: What an incredible run you’ve had. Including 14 French Opens—historic! You made Spain proud... you made the whole tennis world proud.

I keep thinking about the memories we’ve shared. Promoting the sport together. Playing that match on half-grass, half-clay. Breaking the all-time attendance record by playing in front of more than 50,000 fans in Cape Town, South Africa. Always cracking each other up. Wearing each other out on the court and then, sometimes, almost literally having to hold each other up during trophy ceremonies.

I’m still grateful you invited me to Mallorca to help launch the Rafa Nadal Academy in 2016. Actually, I kind of invited myself. I knew you were too polite to insist on me being there, but I didn’t want to miss it. You have always been a role model for kids around the world, and Mirka and I are so glad that our children have all trained at your academies. They had a blast and learned so much—like thousands of other young players. Although I always worried my kids would come home playing tennis as lefties.

And then there was London—the Laver Cup in 2022. My final match. It meant everything to me that you were there by my side—not as my rival but as my doubles partner. Sharing the court with you that night, and sharing those tears, will forever be one of the most special moments of my career.

Rafa, I know you’re focused on the last stretch of your epic career. We will talk when it’s done. For now, I just want to congratulate your family and team, who all played a massive role in your success. And I want you to know that your old friend is always cheering for you, and will be cheering just as loud for everything you do next.

Rafa that!

Best always, your fan, 

Roger

Oggi ci avete letteralmente seppelliti...
Arrivano più di dieci contributi ogni mezz'ora. Stanotte a mezzanotte diretta di chiusura Fin Day con i primi conteggi.

[Matteo Salvini @matteosalvinimi]

Ho visto che la community che segue qui su @X il nostro Senatore @claudioborghi si è attivata in una bellissima raccolta fondi per sostenere la Lega in vista delle elezioni europee. In pochi giorni, già più di seicento (600!) amici hanno già dato un aiuto trasparente e concreto (e detraibile dalle tasse), e molti altri continuano ad arrivare anche in queste ore.
Molti contributi sono accompagnati da consigli, proposte e splendidi messaggi che ci chiedono di combattere per un'Italia più forte e libera.
Grazie a tutti, quello che state facendo ci rafforza e ci incoraggia a rappresentarvi con ancora più impegno e passione.

[Claudio Borghi A. @ClaudioBorghi]

@matteosalvinimi @X Grazie Matteo, una community davvero unica. Dopo lunedì pubblicheremo i risultati al centesimo.

My concern was more the outrageous demand that people *must* take the vaccine and multiple boosters to do anything at all. That was messed up.

Until the Supreme Court invalidated Biden’s exec order, SpaceX and many other companies would have been forced to fire anyone who refused to get vaccinated!

We would not have done so. I would rather go to prison than fire good people who didn’t want to be jabbed.

As for myself, I got original Covid before the vaccine was out (mild cold symptoms) and had to get three vaccines for travel. The third shot almost sent me to hospital.

How many other people out there have symptoms that are actually from the vaccine or Covid treatment, rather than Covid itself?

As for those who didn’t take any vaccine, well @DjokerNole just won a record number of grand slams …

It’s not like I don’t believe in vaccines – I do. However, the cure cannot be potentially worse than the disease. And public debate over efficacy should not be shut down.

There is also great potential for curing many diseases using synthetic mRNA, so let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water.

È molto bello che ci si stia accorgendo adesso dell'ennesimo assalto della UE ai nostri risparmi e alle nostre case via classe energetica. Se volete un giorno faccio un ripasso della lista. Si sa mai che qualcuno pensi che in UE ci vogliono bene e fanno i nostri interessi.

Con voto emendamenti oggi in senato sparisce uso residuo green pass e si sospendono le multe da obbligo vaccinale (in attesa futura cancellazione).
Promesso e fatto.
Su chiude una pagina triste e da adesso si guarda al futuro più serenamente.
