Final
“Thanks to everyone who makes this event possible, the best tournament in the world. It is very difficult to describe the feelings I have. It means a lot to be competitive here again », said the Spaniard after conquering Roland Garros again and leaving the door open for him to return next year
Once again the Spanish anthem sounded at the Philippe Chatrier and Rafa Nadal raised his eyes to the skies of Paris with the Musketeers Cup, the one he won for the fourteenth time in 18 editions. Expectation reigned in the atmosphere as to whether the man with the most Grand Slam titles in tennis history would say goodbye to the French capital for good, but the afternoon’s applause took him away when he left the door open for his return in 2023.
“I don’t know what will happen in the future but I’m going to keep trying,” he assured, unleashing the enthusiasm of a public that has surrendered to the Spanish through exhibitions and unparalleled dominance in world sport. «It is very difficult to describe the feelings I have. It means a lot to be competitive here again. Thank you, thank you to everyone », he said in French to the audience at Roland Garros. “It’s incredible to play here, it’s very beautiful,” he assured.
“Thanks to everyone who makes this event possible, the best tournament in the world. The organization, the director, the French Federation and everyone who works here. You make me feel at home », he stressed in praising him for a tournament that can no longer be understood without his figure.
He also had words of consolation and appreciation for Casper Ruud, without a chance in the grand final after his phenomenal performance in the two weeks on clay in Paris: «Thank you to everyone. It is a great pleasure to play this match with you, I am very happy for you, your family and your team. I wish you the best in the future.”
Nadal also thanked the work and support of his team and his family, essential for the fourteenth victory at Roland Garros to be possible. “None of this would be possible without you, thank you very much for everything,” he said.
