Rune and the amusing proposal

Like most of his colleagues, Holger Rune paid tribute to Rafael Nadal on the occasion of his official retirement.

Affirming his admiration for the idol of millions of tennis fans the world over, he declared: "Rafa, you were my first idol. I used to wear sleeveless shirts with my 6-year-old spaghetti arms sticking out and a bandana."

That said, in addition to that, he also made a rather amusing proposal, but one that could still delight many tennis fans: to create a Rafael Nadal emoji!
