They were bitter rivals on the court, but they are still good friends to this day: Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. The two met on Wednesday at the Spaniard’s academy in Mallorca.
“It’s nice to have you here, my friend,” writes Nadal under the pictures with the Basel bidder. «Thank you for the visit and I hope to see you again very soon.»
How well the two tennis legends get along became clear when Federer resigned in September 2022. Both of them had numerous tears streaming down their faces. Touching images of a beautiful friendship.
They met a total of 40 times on the ATP tour between 2014 and 2019. With 24 wins, Nadal is clearly ahead of Federer. But the Swiss, with 103 titles won, leaves the Spaniard with 92 triumphs behind.
In the Grand Slam title division, Roger (20) has to give way to his friend Rafa (22). However, both of them are behind Novak Djokovic, who celebrated an incredible 24 major titles. And is currently chasing the next one at the Australian Open.
