Tsitsipas on Nadal: "A reminder that dreams can take flight"
The tribute tour continues.
Since the announcement of Rafael Nadal's retirement, every player has wanted to pay tribute and honor the monument of tennis that the Spaniard was and will be.
In a lovely text, Tsitsipas declared his love for the Majorcan: "When I hung the Rafael Nadal poster on my wall, it wasn't just an image, but a reminder that dreams can take flight.
I spent countless nights dreaming of emulating his legacy, driven by his relentless spirit and unrivalled passion for the game.
Today, as he steps away from the field, I can't help but think of the surreal moment I came face to face with him, a dream come true.
His journey has taught me that greatness is not just about victories, but also about resilience, humility and the courage to pursue one's dreams against all odds.
Ultimately, Rafa's journey inspires us to pursue our dreams with tenacity, meet challenges with grace and always play from the heart.
Thank you for the memories, lessons and pure joy you brought to the sport."
