Rafael Nadal takes on new role for French Open after retirement ceremony announced
Tennis legend Rafael Nadal is still having a say at this month’s French Open despite having retired from the sport. The 38-year-old called it quits after the Davis Cup last November, bringing down the curtain on an iconic career.
The Spaniard won 22 Grand Slam titles and two Olympic gold medals. However, he was at his most formidable at Roland Garros, winning 14 of his major titles in the French capital. He finished his career with an incredible 112-4 record at the tournament, and his domination led to him being known as the ‘King of Clay’.
