Definitely DNA for Fed, and protein for Djoko.The RNA is, undoubtedly, Rafa's legacy but what about Roger and Novak?
But Rafa also has a huge foundation, including a school in India.A combination of things. They each have foundations that do good work. They have their achievements, how they went about it, a million memories, their words and also their families. I think all of this is part of their legacies.
That's why I said they each do. But yes, the RN Academy is probably the most tangible "legacy" item so far.But Rafa also has a huge foundation, including a school in India.
The academy bares his name.Unless Rafa becomes a full time instructor in retirement and has numerous students go on to win majors, I don't see how the academy will be his legacy.
So do all the trophies he's engraved in.The academy bares his name.
well, if the erection of the megalomaniac vamosalaplayan temple is the legacy of the nadal, as already suggested by some people......This thread needs @vive le beau jeu !
According to you. Billie-Jean King is known far more for what she’s done off the court.Every one of them has foundation, tennis clubs, tennis academies. Their legacies will be what they did on the court, the Slam titles, the weeks at #1 , the YE #1 finishes, the number of Masters, the number of YECs, the NCYGS, off the court stuff isn't so important for their legacies.
Fed has no tennis club, no academy.Every one of them has foundation, tennis clubs, tennis academies. Their legacies will be what they did on the court, the Slam titles, the weeks at #1 , the YE #1 finishes, the number of Masters, the number of YECs, the NCYGS, off the court stuff isn't so important for their legacies.
Rafa is the founder and owner of the RNA academy.Unless Rafa becomes a full time instructor in retirement and has numerous students go on to win majors, I don't see how the academy will be his legacy.
Like it's a problem for Fed to open a tennis academy in no time with just one click of his fingers.Fed has no tennis club, no academy.
Fed devotees can't live without spitting venom at Rafa.This thread needs @vive le beau jeu !
Fed has none of these "plenty of tennis academies out there."Like it's a problem for Fed to open a tennis academy in no time with just one click of his fingers.
Plenty of tennis academies out there. Thousands and thousands of them throughout the world. Nadal's academy is known because of his results on the court, it's not the other way around.
Unless Rafa becomes a full time instructor in retirement and has numerous students go on to win majors, I don't see how the academy will be his legacy.
You think LeBron's school is bigger than his legacy as an NBA player?It's literally his academy (several of them now) that he founded. Do you think LeBron James' school isn't part of his legacy because he isn't in there teaching math?

Well OP asked about what their lasting legacy into the future would be. And I think we all know it's silly to think a school would be for any athlete at their level with their names in so many recordbooks.He's very insistent that it is
But that's not the point. I'm not arguing that LeBron's legacy is the school, the point is, he gets credit for the school like Rafa gets credit for the academy.
The ethos is all about Nadal.Leave aside the issue of whether an academy is really the greatest legacy of a player like Nadal. But other than his name what is his role in the academy? Does he personally train anyone?

Hmm… I get Nadal’s name is there and he participates in the overall direction. But he’s not training anyone like, say, Bolletieri did. Someone like Bolletieri can rightly say his academy is his greatest legacy. Among other reasons because he trained many champions.Rafa is a member of the board of directors of his academy:

He doesn't train anyone, but students practice with him sometimes.
