State of play 15 days before the Grand Slam at Porte d'Auteuil. And it is not famous for the French.


They assure and reassure

Rafael Nadal

After Roland-Garros, Monte-Carlo and Barcelona, ​​Rafael Nadal, the alien from the earth has added a 4th Decima to his incredible collection in Rome. Two weeks before the start of Roland-Garros, he confirms that he remains the king of the earth. Yet his missteps in Monte-Carlo and Madrid (defeats in the quarterfinals) had sown a little doubt. In Barcelona, ​​he won on forceps, but without playing the best tennis of his life. In Rome, after saving two match points in the 8th against Shapovalov, he found his best tennis in the final against his best enemy Novak Djokovic. Recalling that he will be the huge favorite for a 14th Porte d'Auteuil coronation and a new title record in Major with a 21st trophy (one more than Federer). "

I got lucky sometimes, I suffered sometimes, but in the end it's a great week of tennis for me.

There are some things that I have really done better here in Rome than before.

The path is very clear for my team and me.
