Rafael Nadal has won 10 times at the
Rome Open in his career and is adored by the crowd at the Foro Italico and it showed today on the court with continuous cheering in his dismal display against Hubert Hurkacz.
The best was seen at the end, leaving the center court and passing through the walkway where the players leave the court. The surroundings of the stadium were completely crowded with people who wanted to say a last goodbye to Nadal who, we assume, has played today his last match on Italian soil as well as in Rome. A place where he has been revered throughout his career.
