Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal dominated the sport for over a decade and made it competitive like never before. With Federer already retired and Nadal in one of his final seasons, both now look past their achievements and titles on the court. During an emotional ceremony at the Rafael Nadal Academy in Majorca, Nadal shared a recent chat he had with Federer.

A total of 52 new graduates from the Academy, along with other young students, teachers, and families, listened to the 38-year-old’s address. Nadal revealed that he visited the Italian Dolomites with Roger Federer and had a great discussion with the Swiss legend about their “legacy.”

Yes, it's very good to be recognized for our successes, our titles and our records. But this is only temporary, because over the course of history, others will likely surpass them. What is important is what is remembered forever. That's why Roger and I agree that we would like to be remembered as good people.
