Keep an eye on how much weight Rafa has lost in recent months. He's turned into a real stick figure!! commented one person who works in media. Another user remarked: Federer is still looking good, he turns 45 in a few months, he has looked after his body well over the years.
Nadal unfortunately looks a bit gaunt and aged here he's still in his 30s, I just hope he hasn't done any long term health damage after his tennis career. Those two aforementioned posts were on X, and the sentiment was the same on Instagram among others. Nadal looks thinner, it seems like he's lost muscle mass and is even thinner than Federer, said one account, while another posted: We need muscly Nadal back.
Despite those comments, there were those who took a more positive view of Nadal's appearance - including a senior writer at Yahoo Sports, Dan Wolken. The comments under here are absurd, he wrote. When someone retires from being a professional athlete, their body no longer looks like a professional athlete's body because they are not spending all their time being a professional athlete.
