The death of Diego Armando Maradona moved a large part of the planet, in general, and sports in particular. Even beyond football, being considered by many the best in all history. At the age of 60 he died in his country, Argentina, and there are many tennis players who have wanted to say goodbye to the mythical 10 on social networks. “The world of sports in general and football in particular has a void. Maradona left us one of the greatest athletes in history. What he did in football remains. My sincere and condolences to his family, to the world of football and to all of Argentina, “said Rafa Nadal on social media.
The Balearic published an emotional video on instagram in which he spoke with Diegor. “Nice to meet you, Maradona”, said Rafa. “Equally, we will see each other anywhere in the world,” he replied.. Toni Nadal, at the time his nephew's coach, also intervened. “Let's see if you can teach him something to play soccer, which he also loves …”, and Diego, with a smile, agreed. “Of course! Anything you need, a tennis-soccer charity event, whatever … you have me at your disposal.” Nadal thanked him for the gift of a shirt he made him on the 10th.
Diego was also a great supporter of the Argentine Davis Cup team, which he followed in decisive matches. One of the local tennis players, Diego Schwartzman, told the ATP that his name is largely after Maradona. “I was born in 1992 and Mexico 86 with Diego's feat was six years earlier. 98% is for him”said El Peque. “Rest in paradise, legend”, dedicated ATP number one, Novak Djokovic, to Maradona. Tennis also mourns its goodbye.
