Medvedev - "I was looking at the screen and they were showing number 1, number 2 ..number 19 and I was thinking, had I won, what would they show". I like this guy.

How can anyone not love Rafa. Incredible sportsman!!

[Flamboyan-tqtn]

Every year pass by I feel more and more proud to be a Rafa fan . What a match today! And what a privilege to be his fan .Bravo Rafa!

[jesushonrado]

This is probably the most beautiful and emotional tennis ceremony I have ever witnessed in my life.
Gracias US Open.

Couldn’t help but smile all throughout Medvedev’s speech. Dude is awsome👍

[brandyboo]

I have literally never seen Rafa this emotional. I'm so happy he continues to win. Amazing champion

[gonzalomartin]

The most important thing about Rafa Nadal is not the way he plays, the technique he uses or how he hits the ball, the most important thing about Rafa is his spirit! Because it's something that is much bigger than tennis, it's a message for the people who're struggling and an attitude towards life!

He is an icon of resistance, a true warrior without sword but with racquet that inspires a lot of people in their normal lifes, and that's what matters over the sport and the player, the icon he is, and that goes beyond any borders. He is an international icon of effort and fight.

Proud to have seen you through these years long, and proud to live in your era.

Congratulations to Medvedev too, he made an amazing match, great fight and great tennis for him.

Rafa is an icon. What a champion, after all these years still overcome with passion for the sport, still giving us the most astonishing tennis. It's been an absolute privilege to watch him these last 15 years. He is a titan.

[danawijayanto]

I've never seen such passion in a sport like Rafa has, his eyes always shine and show how great his passion in tennis, Wow

[gbrugarolas]

When Rafa cries, I cry, when Rafa is happy, I am too. When Rafa wins his 19th GS title like this, I feel proud to be Spanish and to have met him in person! LEYENDA RAFAEL NADAL.

Congratulations to Rafa! From a Federer fan, I have come to love and appreciate Rafa over the years for his humility, hard work, and passion for the game. I have no qualms if he passes Roger in GS titles. I could not think of anyone more deserving. He and Roger will forever be in my heart as one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports for all time. Two amazing players, completely different in style, who have such tremendous respect and appreciation for each other and who pushed each other to greater and greater heights. That's what sports are all about. Even from a Fed fan, I have to say, congrats and vamos, Rafa! You deserve it!

[HAAsSportsTV]

Honestly the moment when the crowd starts chanting RAFA it gives me goosebumps incredible atmosphere I don’t think any other slam is like this or one that I’ve watched recently where the atmosphere from the crowd is this good and Rafa deserves one of the 🐐s in Tennis and he is the best fighter, competitor any word similar. He is just remarkable and he is within 1 of Federer and who would’ve thought at this age they would be this close to one another next year is going to be very interesting.

I really loved how calm Medvedev stayed during the match. 23 years old. Playing against such a beast like Rafa in his first Grand Slam final. And still somehow he kept that poker face throughout the whole match and even made Rafa nervous as hell. This guy has some character and I think he will have a bright future

[franciegibbs]

I love how Medvedev is so real. You can tell he is not putting on any airs or falseness. I look forward to seeing what he will accomplish. And i love how Rafa is so humble and grateful and able to show his emotions. Uncle Tony taught him well. Two amazing men.

[iceinmyveins]

Rafa lookin up to his idol... His own self... teary eyed. That is how you hoist a 🏆 more to come

[orkundolanbay]

The big mistake is so called "clay king". He is just a king overall that becomes a godlike being on clay.

[EDUCATips]

Wow I can't believe it yet. Congrats to Rafa Nadal, my respect to Medvedev.

[ddddddsssssss]

name will alwez be remembered in never giving up spirit is just amazing

[Onmysheet]

Medvedev played like a GS champion for the next generation. As a Nadal fan he gets my full respect.

[julianjunior]

Federer is class, elegance but ... if you don't sweat! Djokovic is the cold head, a killer but Mr. Nadal in the shade, is the delivery, the sacrifice, not a protest, the respect for the rival, the fight against the disease, and in the end when they retire, Rafa will be THE BEST.
