One great tennis player has a special message for another great on retirement. These two great players are Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Nadal, who famously won 22 Grand Slams under Rafa, announced his retirement last month.

Now Roger Federer has written a letter to Nadal on social media and has written that he is a big supporter of Rafa. We have played a lot together and Nadal has beaten me many times. Federer also revealed that he tried many tricks to defeat Rafa but to no avail. Even though I changed my racket along with my game, I could not beat Nadal on clay courts. Come on, come on, Rafael Nadal. Before I get emotional I have several things I want to discuss with you. You beat me more times than I beat you. No one has given me as many challenges as you have. Whenever I step on the clay court, it feels like I am stepping into your courtyard. You made me work hard on clay courts. I even changed the shape of the top of my racket to beat you. Apart from fixing the hair, fixing one’s underwear, all the styles on the court became a trend.

Federer also said that the 2022 Laver Cup in London, it has been a very golden moment for me. You played not as my opponent but as my partner. You were on the court with me that night and brought tears to my eyes during what will always be one of the greatest moments of my career. I know you are focused on the final phase of your illustrious career. We will talk when this is over. For now I just want to congratulate your family and team who have played a huge role in your success.
