Rafael Nadal is already a living legend and the undisputed King of Clay after he has won 10 times the Roland Garros. That is most probably a record that no one will ever break and the French Open organization is more than happy to celebrate this achievement.

The French Tennis Federation, Bernard Giudicelli, confirmed that the idea of having a statue of Rafael Nadal has been approved and they are already planning the execution.

Giudicelli disclosed the next steps

“We have, with Rafael Nadal, chosen a statute and the image that will represent it. We will now launch a contest to find the artist who will create the statue of Rafa, which will be opposite the entrance of the future Philippe Chatrier.”

From Nadal

Rafa commented

“It’s a feeling that’s impossible to describe. For me the nerves and the adrenaline I feel when I play on this court is impossible to compare to another court. It is the most important event in my career, to win again here is impossible to describe.”
