Rafa Nadal qualifies for the Roland Garros semifinals. The Spanish won an epic battle against Novak Djokovic and will fight for the title at the Parisian Grand Slam.
It happened on May 31, 2022. We emphasize this because it can correspond to almost any year since 2005, and who knows how long we can say that.
And it is that on a day like today it is time to pull out a newspaper library to identify Nico Almagro and his legendary prophecy about Rafa Nadal and Roland Garros.
It was 2008 and both were facing the quarterfinals of the Parisian tournament. This is how Almagro felt so helpless that at one point in the second set he uttered the following sentence aloud: “He will win Roland Garros 40 years in a row. He will be 65 years old and will continue to win Roland Garros”, A few words that come back to the minds of fans nowadays.
That match ended 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 for Nadal, who took the tournament with great authority, as well as many others in recent years. So far he has 13 of the 40 Roland Garros predicted by Almagro, but he has up to 65 years old to achieve it..
We’ll see if this Sunday we can say that the genius from Manacor can add a new title to his legendary record: 14 Roland Garros and counting.
