“When we pass on the stories of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, we will speak a lot about their tennis - of course - but maybe we could spare a moment for their vulnerability, their tenderness, and their grace when neither of them really needed to show those sides.”
If shown in a movie, that Rafa-Federer moment would have seemed too filmy! It's my most favourite sporting moment! They have shown that there are many more ways to be champions. Love them to bits! Thank you for this lovely essay, Sarthak! :'))
Such a lovely essay Sarthak. It had me hooked and I enjoyed it thoroughly, tearing up at different places. The world in general needs to start focusing on the soft stuff.
I thought this is going to be about football, but this is about so much more. It is about life and I LOVED this post. Now I have to watch Federer’s farewell match again. 🏃🏾♀️

Beautiful. Remembered some of these moments, learnt a few new ones. Heart-warming stuff.
Also, fingers crossed for a 2022 Laver Cup redux.
Thank you! Fingers crossed indeed.
