Murray Nadal Roland Garros

In a press conference at Roland-Garros, Nadal reflected on his emotionally charged day, mentioning one of his Big Four peers, Andy Murray. Indeed, the Spaniard expressed his surprise when he saw the Briton and recalled a text message he had received from him:

"My good friend Andy... with whom I hadn’t been in contact for a while. The day Arsenal beat Real Madrid, when the match ended, within a second, he sent me a message saying… (He pauses.) No, I’ll read it because… It’s quite good. It's pretty interesting:

"Hi Rafa. I haven’t spoken to you in a while. Just checking if you’re okay." "Honestly, it took me about 5 seconds to realize what I was reading. At first, I thought, okay, he’s such a nice guy, he’s asking how I’m doing, my family. Then, after 5 seconds, I understood it was British humor. Besides, I didn’t text him back when PSG beat Arsenal.
