There is no tribute to this Rafael Nadal at the Roland Garros headquarters after losing 6-3, 7-6 (5) and 6-3 in 3h.05′. Yes, he agreed, after speaking with the tournament director, former French player Amélie Mauresmo, to offer a few words to more than 15,000 fans who packed the Philippe Chatrier center court.
The Spaniard took the microphone after the winner, the German Alexander Zverevwhich is short, giving attention to the Spaniard, which he thanked on behalf of tennis in general.
“It’s hard to speak because I don’t know if this is the last time. Honestly, I’m not one hundred percent sure about them,” Rafa Nadal commented on whether it had been his last dance in the tournament.
It is between two waters. He has improved in recent weeks, “after two very difficult years,” “but I don’t know if the body will tell me in two months that it is enough.”
He admitted that he is enjoying playing again, on the court and traveling with his family. “I was competitive, but not enough against a good player like Zverev,” he summed up. And he remembered that he will return for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games “Something that motivates me, another option that is presented,” he said.
“I hope to see you again in a year, but I don’t know,” he said goodbye.
