Anyone who has watched him since the beginning can feel the end of an era not only in tennis but our personal lives. So many memories shaped each and every time I watched him. Doing eclectic things to watch him play. His entire career whenever he played it was a moment a rafa fan waited for no matter how difficult life was getting.There was this small happiness inside that we get to watch him fight. An inspiration through and through like no other!

Probably the most loved player in history of tennis, roger the most admired, but Rafa definitely the most loved

[XheraPhine]

My heart just broke into a thousand pieces. Thank you so much, Rafa, for all the amazing tennis, joy, excitement, and great sportsmanship.

My favourite to ever do it. Mr topspin, Mr fighter and Mr PASSION. No one, I repeat, no one loves the sport more than this man. Countless injury setbacks throughout his career, born deformities in his foot setting him back again and again… and yet he kept copping it, rehabbing, training and coming back and winning god knows how many times. Can guarantee he only stopped because his body literally can’t do it anymore, otherwise he’d still be working hard to get back to his best,

Thank you Rafa, absolute legend of world sports and amazing gentleman. You will be missed dearly

I remember skipping school in 2004 to watch him in finals. I still have some of his matches on VHS tapes. End of an era but thank you for the memories, Rafa.

Norrie nailed it. The attitude that he brings, he'll be successful in life in anything that he does. A coach's role model to show his player. Never once did he smash a racket in his career. The only professional men's tennis player i have witnessed who hasn't does that. Just incredible emotional control! Thank you for the memories Rafa! ❤❤

Where did the time go? Rafa transcended tennis to reach the pantheon of all time sporting greats, rubbing shoulders with Pele, Muhammad Ali, Richie Mccaw, Ayrton Senna, Sanchin Tendulkar, Tom Brady, Wayne Gretsky and Tiger Woods among others. Loved every minute! Thanks for the memories. From a massive sports fan. 🎉

I remember his first RG back in 2005. I was 15 back then...I felt old with his retirement...thanks for all Lion...greetings from Serbia

[philippebaaklini]

Been following Rafa for 2 thirds of my life; absolute champion - "victory belongs to the most tenacious" quite literally sums him up. Forever the goat and my idol, thank you legend!

[carlosesteban]

Who knows how many hours I have fought along side this warrior from the other side of the TV, you will always be in my heart Rafa. Vamos!!

[Gothmog]

As a Fed fan nut, thank you Rafa. To be able to love a guy that delivered so much heartbreak speaks volumes about your character and fighting spirit. The Spanish Bull from Mallorca--we'll miss you.

[crypticcomputing]

Bro, I cried. This guy is part of my life since I'm a kid and he doesn't even know who I am.

[mirrrie]

My mum and me used to watch Rafa together. She passed away 4 years ago and somehow watching this really makes me so sad.

[kaivalya]

Tennis ends for me... grew up watching him play ... always watched every match he played whatever the tournament may be... suffered heartbreaks with him in some of the closest losses... overjoyed at some of the miraculous comebacks... but always been inspired by him whatever the end result may be... he's been my òne TRUE idol all my life. An example to emulate that shaped my own character.

Adios campeon 😢

[lucysmith]

There aren’t enough words in the dictionary to express how much love and adoration I have for this man. Transcended tennis, defied odds, made the impossible possible - watched Rafa for 20 years and although I knew this day was coming it doesn’t make it easier to digest. Superior tennis player and athlete, once in a lifetime player - there will be a void in tennis without him. Thank you Rafa for everything you have done and will continue to do🙏🎾🐐🏆🇪🇸

[ThibautDjemo]

The pure gladiator of tennis is living😢😢

[bjorncardenas]

The best fighter in the history of sport and an example of humbleness and respect. You will be missed sooo much by sooo many. Thank you for these two decades and best of luck with your new life. ❤

[mna]

Hi Rafa, I am from madhubani, Bihar, India and you have inspired me a lot. Your never give up attitude, your fighting spirit, and your tenacity are something i love a lot.Thank you RAFA, Love and respect from India

[tejasnaringrekar]

After watching Rafa on TV for 2 decades, I finally enrolled for tennis coaching 3 days ago and then I get witness this announcement 😢. Your passion and love for the game has inspired many people to hold a racquet including me ❤. Sending lots of love and Vamos Rafa 🫶🏻🫶🏻

I remember back in 2004 Miami masters vs Federer, their very first meeting. Federer was so dominant everyone was calling him the goat, the tiger woods of tennis. While I’m watching this match with my dad, my dad looks over halfway through the match and tells me “this guy is scary.” Referring to nadal. I’ll never forget that. He was just unbelievable with his fast paced grueling style. Nobody comes close to his heart and determination. The goat in my opinion.
