Ohh this is so quintessentially them, with Roger all over Rafa, giggling, and Rafa teasing, saying, โYou wonโt remember, but I willโ - just the casual intimacy of that, of unconscious touches and genuine laughter, ending with Roger essentially saying, โI donโt miss those days, except I do, because of my rivalry with Rafa, how special that was.โ PLEASE.

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, Laver Cup 2022
Roger Federer | Uniqlo
they were, and are, so gone for each other.
These two... seriously
A few years ago Rafa did a feature on his website where he talked about some of the most important matches in his life. It was deleted when his website was updated but Iโve just found a copy of it!
Some highlights (all real quotes):
โIn the semi-finals, I faced Federer, and it is true that I felt plethoric on clayโฆ as true as the match seemed intimidating, I felt respect. I am not saying fear. Never. My start was explosive. I knew that Rogerio (as I friendly call him) was not used to hitting so high and would take a few games to get used to my lifting.โ - RG 05
โAnother final against Federer. I correct. It is never โanotherโ, it is never โone moreโ. Every meeting is the first and the last, and this would be no exception: a victory of sweat and courage, with flashes of great tennis.โ - Monte Carlo 06
โI jumped on to court in front of more than 15,000 people. I looked at my parents and then at Federer. I was ready, or that is what I thought. Roger gave me a real thrashing in the first set. He soon got 5-0 up, and showed tremendous solvency and serenity: drives along the line, a concluding, resolving backhand at the net.โ โFederer is not only a champion, but also a gentleman and an elegant rival. He did not try to humiliate me, he did not draw blood. I donโt think he wanted to win like that against a frightened opponent who hardly put up any resistance. He wanted to win against Rafa Nadal.โ - RG 06
โI know Federer beat me in the final, although as far as I am concerned, I played the best tennis of my career. Wimbledon was Rogerioโs garden, his private domain. He strolled around the court sweeping away any opponent who dared to tread on his grass with overwhelming superiority.โ โThe game that Fed-Ex develops on grass isโฆ well, you know what I am talking about. I am not going to write an ode (he has got his own web for that, hasnโt he? ;-D) though sometimes I felt the impulse to stay there watching his technique.โ โRoger, an extraordinary fellow with or without his racquet, spared me no praise in his declarations, congratulating me for a great match and addressing me a few words that consoled any twinge of disappointment, โyou also deserved it.โโ - Wimbledon 07
โI am not capable of putting into words what this victory meant to me. Maybe I need perspective, maybe I still havenโt taken it in. Since I came on to the professional circuit, even before his, I related the word โWimbledonโ with 'Roger Federerโ. It is something subconscious and automatic: the All Englandโs Club court is something like his garden.โ โNothing around me was important, time stopped, the voices faded and the stands were no more than mist. Roger and I were alone.โ โI was aware that Roger and I had just played the best tennis match of all time; that I had just won the most prestigious tournament on the circuit; thatโฆ I had made my dream come true.โ - Wimbledon 08

Itโs been a long time. Yet nothing has changed, when it comes to us.
Rafa just wants to spend time with Roger
Well after his exhibition match against Casper in Colombia, in the on court interview apparently Rafa said he wished he can play there once with Roger (and then the audience went bonkers with scream and claps).
It's probably being brought up by the interviewer but still...this is like a plea for Roger (currently way across the globe for Moet & Chandon event).
WHY DO THEY KEEP DOING THIS TO OUR RAFAEL GUYS THIS IS HEARTBREAKING ๐ญ๐ญ
I not okay. This is not okay.
But from the bottom of my heart thank you mr federer for all that you have given this beautiful sport, for making the world fall in love with it and your play. I am sad to see you leave the sport, but even the best of things must come to an end and i wish you all the happiness in the world
Laver Cup is certainly gonna be memorable this year.
Ps. The most important thing is the people you met alomg the way ๐

โFirst I would also like to congratulate Roger, not only for this final [but also because]ย heโs the most incredible rival Iโve faced in my life. Heโs practically the best player in history. Iโve never seen such a complete player since I was born and the truth is, I only have words of congratulations, not only for this tournament, but for everything heโs been doing in recent years.โ
