Huge respect to the world’s best men’s figure skater Ilia Malinin for facing up to the world’s media after a disastrous performance at the Winter Olympics which pushed him down from 1st place to 8th place. And he did so with humility and class.
“Dad, was Nadal actually as good as they say?”
“Son, he defeated peak Federer at Wimbledon. Beat prime Djokovic in two USO finals. Olympic Gold in his first try. Won AO from 0-2 down at 36... he was the best.”
“Wow! But that's all on grass & HC. Was he not that good on clay?”
Who’s the fittest player you’ve ever seen?
“Rafael Nadal is the fittest player I’ve ever seen with the Olympic elite level of 100 meter champion sprinting capacity and a 5000 meter capacity.”

It hurts my heart that there is no Rafa today but I need to get used to this 💔. I will be watching #WimbledonFinal Should be a fab match vamos Alcaraz!
"Thank you, France, thank you, Paris.
You allowed me to carry the Olympic torch.
You gave me a statue.
You considered me just another Frenchman.
I will never be able to play in front of you again, but my heart and my memories will always be tied to this magical place."
