"We hope to see you in Paris": Roland-Garros' amusing response to Nadal's announcement
Retired for a year, Rafael Nadal humorously revealed yesterday that he underwent hand surgery, stating that he "will not be able to play the Australian Open."
A post that certainly sparked reactions on social media.
"We hope to see you in Paris"
Among the many reactions, that of Roland-Garros did not go unnoticed. The X account (formerly Twitter) of the Parisian tournament quickly addressed, in the same tone, a message of support to the Spanish legend:
"Get well soon Rafa, we hope to see you in Paris!"
A simple but symbolic message, which recalls the strong bond between Nadal and Roland-Garros, where the Spaniard has triumphed 14 times.
