Uhhh, Ah Eeeeh
Uhhh, Ah Eeeeh
15-30, 40-30
Bandana to keep the wild hair in check
Loose white capris to aid the sprint of a cheetah
Grunts to demonstrate a rebellious war cry
Muscular frame befitting an action hero in a cinema
Meteoric rise to the top of the top
Equalling and overcoming the best of the best
Lung-bursting runs and jaw-dropping shots
Epic points and matches and the ultimate test
Never one to back down from any sort of challenge
Never one to give up after going down two sets
Indelible pain and career threatening injuries
Inspired stronger comebacks and tearing down the nets
A legendary saga with the surface of clay
A courtship, a marriage, a never-ending love story
Utter dominance and nearly flawless play
A heartbreak at times but always returned for glory
Merciless in pursuit of victory and overtly gracious in defeat
A consummate professional and a paragon of perseverance
An example of purity, of hard work, and unmitigated self-drive
A showcase of physical, mental, and emotional excellence
My love for tennis started here and how
Before learning love-all I learned his name
His style, his reach, his strength, his spirit
His infectious smile inspired me to take up the game
His rivals have defined his career and vice versa
His name will be forever and inextricably linked with Roger
Their historic battles and the magic they conjured
The best he drew out of every opponent who wandered
Tug of the shorts, wipe off the forehead sweat
Towel to the face in between long rallies
Arrangement of the water bottles and many things yet
I will miss and I will cherish and I will treasure the memories
Unrelenting, unyielding
Unbelievable and unbreakable
Effervescent, ever smiling,
Energetic and irreplaceable
Rafael Nadal,
Gracias por todo
Thank you for everything
Uhhh, Ah Eeeeh
Uhhh, Ah Eeeeh
15-30, 40-30
Para siempre
Para siempre
¡Vamos!
