Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal won today (Sunday) the 22nd Grand Slam tournament of his career, and became the oldest to win the title.
At the end the Spaniard could not stop the excitement and said: "I thank my coaches, coaches and family who went through a particularly complex year with me. Without them I would have retired much earlier.
"For me and those who love the history of tennis, Roland Gross is the biggest competition in the industry. Starting with the bowlers, the referees, the organizers and everyone who works behind the scenes. You made me feel like I was at home and I can only thank you for that."

"Personally I find it hard to explain the emotions that surround me. I did not believe I would come here for the 36th time, still competitive and on the most important pitch of my career. I invested a lot of energy to keep coming here, I just want to say 'Mercy Paris'. I do not know what will happen. In the future, but I will continue to fight to get back here. "
On Rod's arrival in the final he said: "These two weeks are a leap forward for you Caspar, I am very happy about that and wish you to continue."
Caspar Road: "First of all I would like to congratulate Rafa, we all know what a champion you are and today I had a chance to feel what it's like, I'm not your first victim. You, your family and your club took me under him and we all hope you will continue with us for another period."
