I started Nadal's career cheering against Federer and now I regret that I didn't appreciate him more in his prime. It wasn't until 2017 Wimbledon that I started cheering for Federer and appreciating his greatness. It seems his whole career went by in a blink of an eye.

I’m guilty of this too, spent too much energy hoping Rafa would remain behind Roger instead of enjoying the show. For each tear Rafa shed for his retiring friend, I think he shed another for the thought that he will probably be doing this same thing within a year. I think I’m actually going to miss them both equally.
