We all saw that coming, but it’s still sad to see the second big three retiring. Great career, and he deserves all the rest he can get now!

    I’m still thinking it would have been best to retire on the court after winning his last French Open. What an exit.

    But I suppose none of them are “capable” of doing so. Same with Federer.

      I think that’s what he wanted as well. But his body didn’t allow him. He wouldn’t even let them throw a proper farewell like the Madrid open did. But we’ll, it is what it is

    The man is all heart, all grit, all gentleman. I used to hate him because he used to beat Federer so easily, but I grew up and came around to recognize him for the fantastic human being he is and an inspiration to everyone. Vamos mate! Fucking vamos!
