Former World No. 1 Rafael Nadal revealed he had “goosebumps” as he went about his daily routine before the Madrid Open, and it was hailed as a true 10/10 in his eyes.
On his retirement tour, Rafael Nadal is headed to Rome, where he has won the tournament ten times. However, Roddick was deeply affected by the Madrid Open for a variety of reasons, including how the tournament handled opponents and Nadal’s preparation.
“I started to get shivers. The audience is just getting ready as he walks out and goes about his business with his bottles, bag, and other belongings. He expressed gratitude profusely this week, and I have no doubts about it. It was a celebration of his accomplishments and well-earned. As anticipated, the ceremony that followed was fantastic. Roddick on Served stated, “The response was amazing.
“I believe Rafa’s preparation was a perfect 10 out of 10 in terms of what his body can withstand. I gave the audience and the note they struck by supporting him and showing consideration for the other players a ten out of ten. I believe that something was off because his body pulled up and we didn’t see what we’ve seen in the previous two years—that is, when he runs and then kind of pulls up. I was watching Rafa play this week and at one point I failed to check for injuries.
