Nadal really did it: before his match against Zverev, the Spanish champion made a special request to Roland Garros organizers. Here’s what
Rafa Nadal is one of the most important sportsmen in the world. Not only of tennis: known to fans of all sports, he might also say goodbye at the end of this 2024 even if, during the last press conference, as we reported to you earlier, he left the door open for the future.
An all-around champion, one who shifts the balance, one who will always be remembered by tennis lovers and not only. Then, in Italy, she has always had a crazy affection and we saw this during the last Internazionali, after her elimination, when a human tide I paid homage to her with the proper applause to someone who has triumphed several times in the capital. In short, of adjectives to describe what it was there are none left. But here we are talking about something else, about a special request that the Majorcan made to the organizers of the second slam of the season, the Roland Garros being held in Paris.
Nadal, here is the request
Drawn in the first round with Zverev, and let’s just say it could have gone significantly better, Nadal–according to information that has been reported by l’Equipe–has reportedly made a special request to the French.
He, along with his entourage, reportedly requested the organizers of the tournament not to hold the challenge in the night session. In such a match, the conditions could make a difference in a way, and a little bit everyone is aware of how the former world number one’s game is more effective with the sun still in the sky. Peculiar, no doubt, also because the heat right now is starting to be stifling especially at certain times of the day. But Nadal knows best, and he would be missed, his body and his possibilities. He knows what he can give at any given time and he knows very well what he can express when it is sunny or not.
