The multitude of lovely messages that Rafa Nadal is receiving after revealing his decision to retire at the end of the year is immeasurable.
Jannik Sinner is one of those who wanted to share kind words with the Spaniard and thank him for everything he has done for the sport.
“Thank you Rafa for all you have contributed to the sport. Having had the opportunity to spend a few weeks training with you years ago is something I will never forget. Seeing you work as an athlete, but also getting to know you as a person off the court was even more special. A true legend of the game who paved the way and taught many of us how to be, as players and as individuals. We will miss you on the circuit!”, wrote the world number 1 on his X account.
