Video - "In 2005, 2006, 2007...": this legendary intro by Nadal that gives chills
This intro, chanted year after year by Marc Maury, the famous Roland-Garros announcer, is much more than a list of achievements. It's a signature.
A signature that has entered popular culture: "In 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022."
The more titles are listed, the more the crowd gets fired up, as this enumeration seems unreal.
Even today, this intro provokes the same shock. Young players know it by heart, and the Roland-Garros organizers acknowledge that it was part of the tournament's DNA.
