They will not be seperated.  Will. Not.

rafa: “i’ll sign it if you let me keep it afterwards”

paulamartz:

play doubles again, please.

Question: Throughout your career, pick one player who is most difficult to play against.

RAFA: I think Roger has been the most difficult always

Ahhh Rafa. This is from here in case people haven’t seen it already, well worth a read!

Other highlights:

“Roger is still Roger and he is always someone who can win anything.”

“My relationship with Roger is and will always be very good, I have a lot of respect and admiration for him even if we don’t agree on everything which on the other hand can happen and is a normal thing in life.”

“I am not sure if [Tomic} can beat right now Roger. Roger is Roger and he is still the big favorites to win every match he plays.”

“Clearly Roger has an enourmous talent, something amazing and beautiful to watch.”

“Regarding doubles with Roger, I would love to. I hope one day we can play.” (SO DO I DAMN IT)

The two are asked by chair umpire Jake Garner to pose for a photo together before the coin toss. This is typically done after the toss, but Federer and Nadal come together automatically, and their arms immediately reach for each other’s backs. On the one hand, you might say they’re well versed in this, from many matches and exhibitions over the years. On the other hand, they act a little like family.

RAFA: “I always had fantastic relationship with Roger. I still have fantastic relationship with Roger. Don’t create crazy histories about what I said yesterday, please.”

ROGER: “Rafa was a friend like before and for me nothing has changed. I’d have dinner with him tomorrow if he calls me or I call him.”
