Football and tennis are two completely different sports, but through the talents of legends, people still find common ground.
Roger Federer, a tennis player considered to have natural talent with a charming, smooth playing style, is compared to the football world’s Lionel Messi. Cristiano Ronaldo (soccer) and Rafael Nadal (tennis) are highly appreciated for their hard work, along with their iron will that helps them achieve much success.
In 2015, Italian soccer player Antonio Cassano said that Ronaldo is the soccer version of tennis player Nadal, while Messi resembles Federer. Antonio’s views expressed at that time received much agreement from the audience, as well as experts.
In early 2023, tennis player Carlos Alcaraz also affirmed: “Messi is Argentina’s superhero, and Federer is the Messi of tennis. I like watching Messi, as well as watching Federer.”
Recently, tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou (France) has a different opinion about “Ronaldo tennis”. Mouratoglou said: “Yesterday I was talking to a friend, I said that Federer is Messi, and Djokovic is Ronaldo. Why? Because Federer is truly a tennis player blessed with enormous talent, he feel what he is doing, while Djokovic is super hard-working and pays attention to every little detail.”
According to Patrick’s comments, Nadal has been “overtaken” by Djokovic, losing the position of “tennis Ronaldo”. In fact, although Nadal is close to the Portuguese football player, the “King of Clay” idolizes Brazilian “fat” Ronaldo.
Nadal once told Celebrity magazine in 2020: “Cristiano and Messi are the two most famous names today, but for me, the main idol is Ronaldo Da Lima. I had the opportunity to meet Ronaldo when my uncle was still young.” playing for Barcelona. He is a perfect player, an interesting person.”
So if Federer is Messi, Djokovic is likened to Ronaldo, then Nadal is a fan of the “fat” Ronaldo who was once famous in world soccer.
