The majority of things will be a surprise for him," Mauresmo talks about the tribute to Nadal
This edition of Roland-Garros is the first to be played without Rafael Nadal as a participant. A 14-time winner at Porte d’Auteuil, a tribute awaits him this Sunday, May 25, on the Philippe Chatrier court.
On RTL radio, the tournament director, Amélie Mauresmo, discussed the upcoming tribute: "The majority of things that will happen on the court will be a surprise for him.
However, he has guided us on the general atmosphere and what he wishes. It’s something that should resemble him in terms of simplicity, authenticity, and class. There are small things to adjust, decisions to make.
We have the week to fine-tune and be as effective as possible on the day, all while keeping Rafael Nadal's preferences in mind. We are trying to meet the requirements.
