ATP – WTA > Serena Williams almost makes fun of Rafael Nadal: “I have always admired your incredible capri pants which I found very cool and elegant because, obviously, I love fashion”

Also present in the very beautiful video published by the ATP to celebrate the career of Rafael Nadal with numerous testimonies from athletes, Serena Williams paid tribute in her own way to the Spanish champion (from 8 minutes and 25 seconds).

And obviously, the American was particularly marked by the famous capri pants that Rafa wore at the start of his career. A bit teasing or really serious? Should we let you judge? Regardless, the tribute as a whole is powerful.

“Rafael Nadal, my God. This name is synonymous with legend, inspiration, strength. First of all, I always admired Rafa and I loved what he accomplished since he arrived on the circuit, with these cropped pants, which I found very cool and very elegant because, obviously, I loves fashion. And then his strength, the size of his arms, it was a source of inspiration. I think Rafa will always be one of the most iconic Tennis players in the history of the sport. I remember watching your matches and thinking, 'I want to move like that, I want to play like that, I want to do that.' He is an outstanding tennis player, an outstanding athlete, a fantastic person, always incredibly kind on and off the court. I also love Rafa's humility, it is absolutely incomparable! I will miss seeing you play a lot. »
