I selfishly wanted to hear Roger and Andy praise him and talk about what he meant to them, but I’m sure shy Rafa preferred thanking them instead.

(I also wanted a tiny hint about the new baby but our guy is never gonna change when it comes to protecting his privacy! 😂)

Thanks, Genny! Asking somebody as private as he is to share personal feelings about people he loves on a public stage is a lot, and I was so impressed that he struck just the right tone. Another hard thing he made look easy.

No stones left unturned by his Roland Garros ladies

It’s a retirement ceremony for Rafa. That was strange.
