Roger Federer: Never Underestimate A Great Champion Like Rafael Nadal
Roger Federer took to instagram to congratulate Rafael Nadal on his incredible comeback win at the Australian Open today.
“What a match! To my friend and great rival Rafael Nadal. Heartfelt congratulations on becoming the first man to win 21 Grand Slam singles titles. A few months ago we were joking about both being on crutches. Amazing. Never underestimate a great champion.
“Your incredible work ethic, dedication and fighting spirit are an inspiration to me and countless others around the world. I am proud to share this era with you and honored to play a role in pushing you to achieve more, as you have done for me for the past 18 years. I am sure you have more achievements ahead but for now enjoy this one!”
Federer had never trailed Nadal in total Grand Slam titles until today.
During the event, the ESPN crew said that Federer had returned to hitting on the court. He is still hopeful of a return at Wimbledon, otherwise the 40-year-old could be back at the US Open.
