He is a legend of our sport and has been an incredibly important player for tennis globally. Nadal of course the same, even more all the results and achievements he has had, particularly in this city, in Roland Garros. Nadal didn’t say when his last tournament will be, so hopefully for the sake of the sport he can keep going.”
