Retired with one child (a havanese ). Believer in equality and justice for ALL. Fan of classic films too! No lists please. I am #TheResistance#Resisters
On this day in 1963, my uncle was killed by an assassin’s bullet. This day is forever seared into my heart and mind, as well as so many others. Go gently today, as millions of people are working through their trauma. Millions of people are grieving things that happened years ago, decades ago, days ago, or just moments ago. Millions will never be the same again, whether from something that happened to their own family or to someone they have only seen through a screen. Let’s start by acknowledging our own pain, which guides us to our own healing, which in turn can help heal others. ♥️ #movehumanityforward
Today, I am 81 years young.
In Malaga, Spain, we watched the passion, talent, and athleticism of the participating teams playing for their countries, and it became more evident to me than ever the importance of teamwork and relationships.
Relationships truly are everything. The ones I've been a part of throughout my life are irreplaceable, and none more valuable than my relationship with Ilana.
I am so lucky to have our life together.
I have been so fortunate to have set and realized many goals, many that have provided opportunity to others, and always with help along the way.
No one achieves anything alone.
And I'm not done yet!

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

Taylor Swift wrote a song about my son, Ronan, after he died of cancer. She put me on as a co-writer, and donated the proceeds directly to pediatric cancer -no strings, no hidden motives, just pure compassion and integrity.
In stark contrast, the Trump family engaged in significant fundraising efforts for children with cancer through the Eric Trump Foundation. However, reports later revealed that funds were used to pay Trump-owned properties for hosting fundraising events, raising concerns about conflicts of interest and self-dealing. What could have been a mission solely dedicated to supporting children in need became tainted by financial practices that appeared to benefit the Trump Organization, casting a shadow over the charitable intentions initially claimed.
This election is a no-brainer. It’s a choice between compassion and corruption, between someone like Kamala Harris, who has spent her career fighting for justice, and Trump, who has exploited the vulnerable at every turn. Kamala has consistently shown a commitment to supporting communities and ensuring people’s rights are protected, while Trump and his family have even stooped to taking funds meant for children with cancer.
If integrity, empathy, and basic decency matter, then this choice couldn’t be clearer. Supporting Kamala and her values means standing up for the kind of future where compassion isn’t just talk—it’s action. We owe it to ourselves and to the next generation to reject self-interest and stand on the right side of history.

Under Donald Trump, we lost 2.7 million jobs.
If Trump wins this thing again, they've promised to repeal the CHIPS and Science Act — threatening over 115,000 manufacturing and construction jobs.
This guy doesn't care about you. He's not thinking about you at all.
