Rafael Nadal’s legacy at Roland Garros has been immortalized with a plaque on Court Philippe Chatrier, celebrating his unmatched dominance on the clay courts of Paris. In a special gesture, tournament organizers have provided him with two additional copies—one for his home and another for his museum in Mallorca.
The plaque, which features Nadal’s name and footprint, was unveiled during an emotional ceremony attended by his longtime rivals Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray. The event marked a poignant moment in tennis history, as fans and fellow players honored the Spaniard’s extraordinary achievements at the French Open.
Nadal, who has won a record 14 titles at Roland Garros, expressed deep gratitude for the recognition. He acknowledged the significance of having a permanent tribute at the venue where he built his legacy and shared his appreciation for being able to bring a piece of that history back to Mallorca.
The additional plaques will be displayed at the Rafa Nadal Museum, where visitors can relive his greatest moments, and at his home, serving as a personal reminder of his remarkable journey in tennis. This tribute reinforces his status as one of the sport’s greatest champions, ensuring that his impact will be celebrated for generations to come.
