Before Nadal's Return to Roland Garros, Rune Pays Tribute to Him in Practice
After retiring from the circuit last November, Nadal will be eagerly awaited for his tribute at Porte d'Auteuil on Sunday, May 25. Having won 14 times, the Spaniard has captivated several generations throughout his career.
As evidence, Holger Rune, present at practice at Roland Garros, paid homage to the Majorcan by wearing a t-shirt with his image.
The Dane will return to clay after his defeat to Moutet in Rome. The 21-year-old player had stated he was suffering from throat and stomach pains. In Paris, he will face Bautista Agut in the first round. In his path, he could potentially face Musetti in the round of 16, Fritz in the quarterfinals, and Alcaraz or Sinner in the semifinals.
