Stars out for Rafa
Nadal’s possible last match at the French Open attracted a star-studded crowd as even his biggest rival couldn’t keep away. Novak Djokovic was seen in the player box on Court Philippe-Chatrier with Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek seated near him. French stars Alize Cornet and Caroline Garcia were also in the crowd.
“I mean, I didn’t see them, but I think in some way it’s normal, no? I think if that’s the last time that I gonna be playing here and if I know that Novak is the last time playing in Wimbledon or in Australia and I was there or…” Nadal said when he learned of their attendance.
“I mean, these kind of rivals or young players that are here like Carlos that probably they watch me on TV the most of his years that they are living, it’s normal that in some way they are interested to see how this going to be, and especially in this particular place with all the history that I had behind, no? But yeah, I mean, happy that that happens, you know, because that means that I had a positive legacy here and positive legacy my career, no?”
