As the Australian Open 2024 takes a new turn every single day, there is not a single moment when fans do not miss the joys of watching the entirety of the Big Three in a tournament together. After Roger Federer‘s retirement and Rafael Nadal pulling out of the Australian Open because of injuries, fans felt like it was the end of an era in tennis. It seems the end of the era has not yet come, at least off the court.

Swiss maestro Roger Federer met Rafael Nadal at the Rafael Nadal Academy in Manacor. Present at the facility in Nadal’s home in Mallorca, the two posed together for a picture alongside a young Romanian tennis player, who went on to post the picture on Instagram.

Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer make a young Romanian player’s day

In a move that surprised everyone, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal both turned up at the latter’s academy in Majorca. As the two visited, a young Romanian player snagged the opportunity to grab a picture with two of the greatest tennis players of all time. After all, it is a rare occasion to be able to see the two of them together.

While Federer did visit Majorca last year while on vacation, this visit to the RNA seems special. Occurring during a time when Rafael Nadal is struggling on the sidelines with injury woes, perhaps seeing his old rival and good friend may lift his spirits. Just remembering the epic duels they shared during their careers is enough to raise Nadal’s morale.

Fans, however, were focused on the elation the young player in the image must have felt. To see two players who have achieved it all on every possible level is nothing short of a dream come true. One commentator wrote, “Amazing, great memory to have. Congrats to you.”
