New Update; Only Spice Girls and Rafael Nadal” – Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams turn heads in special Nike ‘merch’ to honor Spaniard amid Davis Cup farewell

Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova paid tribute to Rafael Nadal as the Spaniard competed in the final tournament of his illustrious career at the 2024 Davis Cup Finals. They both donned special commemorative t-shirts, designed by Nadal’s longtime clothing sponsor Nike, to honor the 22-time Grand Slam champion.

With Spain taking on the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup Finals, Nadal delighted the home fans by stepping out on court against Botic van de Zandschulp in the singles opener. Despite his admirable effort in potentially the final match of his career, the Spaniard fell short against Van de Zandschulp, who claimed a 6-4, 6-4 victory.

However, Carlos Alcaraz kept Spain’s hopes alive as he triumphed over Tallon Griekspoor 7-6(0), 6-3 to postpone the former World No. 1’s retirement. However, the curtains closed on Nadal’s remarkable career once the Dutch duo of Van de Zandschulp and Wesley Koolhof claimed a hard-fought 7-6(4), 7-6(3) win over Alcaraz and Marcel Granollers to advance to the semifinals.

Amid Rafael Nadal’s farewell at the Davis Cup Finals, Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams, who were both sponsored by Nike during their playing days, displayed their support by wearing the special tribute t-shirts for the Spaniard. Sharapova even joked that the only “merch” she would ever consider wearing belonged to Nadal or the Spice Girls.

“The only merch I’d ever wear is Spice Girls and Rafa 😆 @ Nike,” Sharapova posted on her Instagram story.

Meanwhile, Williams shared a clip of herself flaunting the shirt alongside a headband adorned with Nadal’s iconic ‘raging bull’ logo, while paying tribute to the 38-year-old’s “legacy.”

“@rafaelnadal Congratulations on a career that most wont dare to dream of. I feel so fortunate to have been able to play when you were playing and being Great. You inspired me to be better, to play harder, for fight, to never give up, and to win more. No excuses just play the sport. You legacy will never die. Wow to see your career from the beginning to today was an honor Champ! Long live Rafa! #rafanadal,” Serena Williams posted on Instagram
