Spain Everything had marked Sunday, November 24 on his calendar. Fans were excited to say goodbye to Nadal raise another Bowlor at least competing for it. The logical flow of the painting made it seem that way. Holland And GermanyOn paper, these are teams whose tennis level was perceived as lower than that of Spain. However, tails happened.
The Dutch team wiped the Spanish Navy off the map at the first opportunity. Nadal gave up and was not enough with the tandem composed of Granollers and Alcaraz to reach the semi-finals. The elimination and retirement of Rafa Nadal have thus been brought forward. Something that did not enter the imagination of the Spanish fans, who mostly bought tickets for the semi-finals and final directly.
It happened to Manolo. “We bought a ticket for the semi-final and the final. We thought we would see Rafa and say goodbye, that was our hope. I come to this match to say out loud “thank you, Rafa”.. I have a friend who watches TV and he will tell me when he tunes in and at that point I will scream. Not the ‘come on, Rafa’, which can sound like a whistle, but ‘thank you, Rafa’, he begins his conversation with OKDIARIO.
“He gave us 20 years of joy and satisfaction, the best two decades of our lives. And the next ones will be with Alcaraz. Rafa’s son is also there to take over the racket. So the French will have to wait 40 years to win a Roland Garros. We are not discouraged because Rafa is not there, we already saw him in the Davis Cup in Seville, when he beat Roddick. We followed it in many countries,” he adds.
Felipe and Cristina also participate in Nadalmania, but they put their love of tennis first. “We buy tickets from year to year because we love tennis and when Rafa announced he was retiring here it was even more of an incentive. We still have desire, that’s all. We were watching the match and it was a bitter taste for the Spaniards. ANDWe expected to see Rafa on Friday in the semi-final and today in the final. We were a little sad, but nothing happened,” they say.
Spain being eliminated at the first opportunity, The Salad Bowl is played by a vigorous Italy and the revelation of the tournament, Holland. In the event of a transalpine triumph, it would be the third Davis who would rest on his record, the second in a row. If the scales tipped towards the tulips, they would inaugurate their window.
