“Winning the same Grand Slam fourteen times is simply incredible. The verdict is clear for former world No. 1 Andy Murray. According to the Scotsman, no player will ever manage to match and, even less, surpass Rafael Nadal, who added a new trophy to his wallet at Porte d’Auteuil on Sunday. “Hardly any player on the circuit will have the opportunity to play 14 times at Roland-Garros, let alone win it [14 fois] “, Continued the now 68th player in the world,
And the Scot to take the example of his announced successor, Carlos Alcaraz: “He is 19 years old, so he should win Roland-Garros every year until the age of 33 to reach 14 titles. I don’t think that can happen.” Besides, the young Spaniard has no illusions either. During a ceremony organized in his village of El Palmar, Alcaraz was full of praise for his eldest.
“Rafa has a thousand lives and we will still see him for a long time, explained the talented Spaniard, in remarks quoted by brand. At 19, he already won Roland-Garros and he now has 14 titles in Paris. Him, with the age that I am today, he had already won his first trophy and, therefore, I am already a little late. »
