Serena Williams paid tribute to Rafael Nadal
After retiring from the courts from 2022, Williams took the opportunity to pay his last respects to the king of clay: “Rafa, thank you very much for this job that most of us don’t dare to dream of.
I feel so lucky to have grown up by your side on and off the field.
You inspired me to be better, play hard, fight and never give up. You helped me earn a lot of money. No excuses, just play tennis.
Your legacy will never die. Being able to see your work from the beginning has been an honor, hero. Long live Rafa! », he concludes.
