Nick Kyrgios: Rafa don’t retire I wanna play you 1 last time. We had our differences but you were one hell of a warrior. Best wishes and goodluck with whatever comes next. Damn. I’ve had nightmares that have woke me up about Rafa. I’m gonna miss them. This was someone that I used to prepare for he was a motivation - I guess an inspiration.
