“There are no more adjectives to describe Rafa’s career and successes. It seemed that after winning the ninth or 10th he was already (done). He was getting older. But he doesn’t stop. And I have the impression that if his body can withstand the problems with his foot, he will continue to win,” he added at the Puma Legends Trophy.
