Nadal is a rage: after losing to Djokovic at the Olympics, the Spanish champion lost his temper. Announcement about retirement
The end of an era? Yes, the more time passes, the closer the goodbye gets, not least because the defeats are starting to get really heavy. Rafa Nadal is one step closer to quitting tennis. We’ve known this for a while and we’ve gotten used to it by now, although it’s always hard to let go of someone who made us dream.
The Spaniard has made history in the sport and there really can be no argument about that. But time, age, passes for everyone and the feeling is that precisely that time has come to put an end to it. In fact, journalists asked him about it even after his defeat against Djokovic in Paris. But Rafa’s response was almost unexpected. A fury. He lost his patience, answering in a hard face to yet another question about when he will decide to quit. It has to be said, though, that journalists are only doing their job. We understand the frustration, however, from someone like him one always expects something anyway. Even an announcement different from those he has always given up to the moment.
Nadal is a fury, here is the reaction
We were saying: at the end of the match against Djokovic Nadal was asked precisely if he has thought and if he still thinks about retirement. His response was incredible. “Every single day you ask me if I retire. I try to do my best every time I take the court, when I decide to retire I will let you know. “
“You can’t always wait for me after every game with this thought, quit or no quit. I have enjoyed for so many years, I have suffered with so many injuries in the last two years, so if I feel that I am not competitive enough anymore, I will decide to retire and I will let you know. But until then you can’t ask me whether I will retire or not.” In short, he set the record straight Nadal. But we all know, and we repeat unfortunately, that the end of an era is now very close.
