Today winter begins throughout Spain. Rafa Nadal has left, the genius from Manacor has hung up his racket, but his legend will never fade. His name and his two surnames will accompany us for a lifetime, to us and to the generations that come after us. We are talking about the greatest sportsman in the history of our country, although if we look at the messages of affection on social media, we will realize that they come from all parts of the world. There are hundreds that we could highlight in the last few hours, hundreds more will continue to come, but for now, we'll stick with some of the most special ones.

And we start with one who is destined to carry on his legacy, Carlos Alcaraz. We don't know if he will reach such greatness and achieve that level of popularity, probably not. What is clear is that the young man from Murcia feels genuine devotion to Rafa, and that is why he wanted to leave it expressed in this message.

Some legends who wanted to join this farewell from a distance have been Rod Laver and Billie Jean King, two essential figures in the history of our sport, acting as true pioneers who elevated tennis to levels of success previously unknown. Yes, they too remembered Rafa.

And what about the older generation? They have followed Rafa Nadal's career from start to finish, not missing a single chapter. In fact, many have followed him from a TV booth, having the luxury of commenting on many of his tournaments. Figures like Boris Becker and Àlex Corretja are among them, speechless to express what the man from Manacor has meant to them and the legacy he leaves behind.

Darren Cahill, Victoria Azarenka, Juan Martín Del Potro, and Martina Navratilova also took five minutes to leave a message full of affection to show their respect for Nadal. Again, these are just a few of the hundreds of messages that will continue to arrive, still insufficient to encompass the historic mark that this icon will leave in the history of sports.
