Rafael Nadal tribute | Exclusive footage from the ceremony | Roland-Garros

Literally cemented his name. He wants to play. No. And that's the message, and that's our legacy too. In 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022. He is Spanish, Rafael Nadal. It helped me to move on, you know. I think something big, depending on your personality, but it's nice to be able to move on. They are here. Your old friends are here for you. The great part is forever. Yeah, they can have that. You know, it's not just like, oh, ****. Yeah, yeah. For like a year. No. Literally cemented his name. He wants to play. Of course. Hello. What's happening? Nice to see you, man. How old are you? Beautiful. Two and seven months. Eight months. He plays golf. He likes to play golf. Already? Is that a better swing than you? That's very easy. Cut the ears. He wants to bring racket. Maybe a little bit later, but... A little bit later. What do you think? Good idea. From here. And now, super mega. Super mega. What's up, man? How you doing? I'm thinking about five years now. One day at a time. Hey, Frank. It's like... Because I was so pissed. I was... I'm a nice guy. Very nice guy. What did you make of the tribute? Very nice. Beautiful. I'm happy for him. Celebrating his career. Particularly in Philippe Chartier and Roland Garros. No more fitting place or tournament for him. I thought it was great. I thought he spoke really well. It's not always easy to... He spoke for quite a long time in different languages. Andy, Roger and I were backstage in the room. Just the three of us watching it from the beginning, obviously. Spending some time reflecting on the time with Rafa on and off the court. The libraries and all these years. It's just a very special moment for all of us. Of course, particularly for Rafa. I think the plaque they put on the court is brilliant. I think it's really nice. Seeing everyone in the crowd dressed the same. It was cool. I think they did a really good job. The best part is forever. The plaque is there forever. Well deserved. He knows that. I'm happy we could witness it. It's great. The way that they honored his name was just beautiful. It was historical. It was legendary. Exactly how he deserves it. Thank you, France. Thank you, Paris. I won't be able to play in front of you anymore. My heart and my memory of Restaurant is always linked to this magical place and its people. Thank you so much for everything you've done for me. Thank you. I thank Al Roger, of course, for being part of this amazing day. For me, that's closing the circle. Because all my career is what it is in some way because of them too. Because we created these amazing riders now. For me, having them on court with me in this very emotional moment has been very important. There are still things to do in the future. Keep growing the sport. Today was a strong and positive message to the world that you can fight and win with all your forces but you don't need to hate your rival. And that's the message. That's our legacy too.
