"A tennis legend doesn't deserve a farewell like this," Davidovich Fokina reflects on Nadal's last career match

A tennis legend doesn't deserve a farewell like this, Davidovich Fokina reflects on Nadal's last career match
le 25/05/2025 à 15h58

For his last career competition, Nadal wanted to finish at home, in Spain, with his national team. Playing singles in the Davis Cup quarterfinals against the Netherlands, Nadal lost in two sets (6-4, 6-4) to Van Zandschulp. Spain then lost (1-2) to the Dutch team.

In an interview shared by Punto de Break, Davidovich Fokina, a teammate of the 22-time Grand Slam legend during this event, spoke about "Rafa's" finale:

Publicité

"I found it very sad. I think they had planned a different departure, but since Spain lost in the first round, it was what it was. When I saw it, I said to myself, 'A tennis legend doesn't deserve a farewell like this.' And not just in tennis, but also off the court. For me, all the tournaments in the world should pay tribute to him. Roland-Garros is one of them. Nadal is the one who has won this Grand Slam the most times, so this tribute will undoubtedly be a beautiful moment."

Present at Roland-Garros, the 25-year-old player will face another Spaniard in the first round, Llamas Ruiz.

Two hands now.. until you can get yourself out onto a tennis court and do the exact same thing ..
Get yourself out onto the tennis court and achieve the same thing, then QUIET in the CHEAP SEATS..!!

He didn't lose it on his own, he was one of a Team, playing in agony with his foot problem, he gave everything he had at that time.. was her really expected to win it alone for them. Don't think so. They knew he was far from 100% fit but they still wanted him, it was a huge ask, a very risky ask

It doesn't make sense. Rodger Federer didn't get a send off like this, and in my opinion he has given more to tennis than anybody else... I think it was a touching ceremony and is definitely enough.

I propose the following changes to the rules:

1...a walķover will not be a loss. We have no control of player's health. If he or she is entered in a contest we expect them to play.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...

It's a shame that so many matches are being canceled. TT ,you are destroying your game ,and thereby killing your app. I don't know how many matches others have had canceled , but I'm at 3 and it's only thursday.

As a long time player and lover of this game , I don't know how much of this I can tolerate. For example I waited hours last night for you to confirm my win and post my points. Every ot...

This week I have used all my formulas and best guesses to try to achieve the high score jimandlori958 set in our last competition. I am two games short because of cancelations and I need all wins to get there.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Grenier and Hsu at the Kobe tournament? The match was played to completion and on time.

Grenier def Ysu 6-2 , 6-2 at Kobe today and the TT canceled the match.

2nd for me this week.

An impressive win.. Congrats to our winner this week, jimandlori958 and with a score that could not be caught or matched. I don't remember a 56 in a while with our group. Nice to see everyone using the 2 point predictions. Can't win without 'em.
