Major General Rafael Nadal said at the ceremony: "First of all, Caspar is a great pleasure to play with you in the final here at Roland Garros. You are great and I want to congratulate you on a great career you have and especially on these two weeks. It is an important step forward. I am very happy for you and your family and staff I wish you all the best for the future. Of course I also thank my team, my family. The things that happen are amazing. I thank you for everything you have done for me over the years. Without you nothing would have been possible. I went through many things and injuries and could not cope. That would be without my team. I would have retired long before. That's why I'm so grateful.

"I want to thank everyone who works in this tournament.

For me this is the best tournament in the world.

I thank everyone who made it possible for the tournament, all the ball carriers, the managers, all the people who work behind the scenes, you do an amazing job.

For me it is always a dream to come here, you make me feel at home.

I can only thank you and the French Tennis Association.

"Personally it's hard for me to describe the feelings I have. It's something I did not believe would happen. Being here at 36, being competitive, playing on the most important pitch of my career, it's very significant for me. It gives me energy to move on. I just want to say thank you very much "To everyone, to Paris and the crowd. I do not know what will happen in the future, but I will continue to fight to play."

Speaking after the Eurosport broadcast, Nadal said: "If I did not believe I would not be here. Of course it was a big surprise for me. I did not expect it. Everyone knows my preparation was not ideal. I was off the training ground and round for a month and a half with an injury and then he had "Another leg injury. I do not know, I came here with my doctor. I play with a shot on the nerve that numbs the pain."

About Caspar who plays in the academy: "Caspar is a great guy, his whole family are great people. I am very happy for him and for everyone. We have been together in the academy for four years, we shared a good time together. I am very happy for him and sorry for him today. I am happy to see him high "In the rankings and fighting for every degree. He has improved a lot and I hope that in a year we will see him in an even better place."

On his game: "I was a bit lucky in the second set when I came back from 3-1 because before that I had a disaster game. I managed to break it back right after that."

He had a great tournament, today he was not an opponent.

said: "The first and most important thing is to congratulate Rafa. This is your 14th win here and 22 Grand Slam titles in total, we all know what a champion you are. I understood what it's like to play against you in a Grand Slam final and it's not easy. I'm not. "The first victim, there were many before me. I want to congratulate you and your family who accepted me to your academy, you are a real inspiration for me and for everyone. We all hope you keep playing."

The Norwegian went on to say: "To my team, it has been a long road even though I am young. I have a great team and nothing would have been possible without everyone's help. You know who you are and I hope we can continue like this for many more years. I hope you will be by my side Grand Slam finals. Thank you very much. I thank the city of Paris, the people who came to support. It was a great experience to play in front of over 10,000 spectators in the final. It was a difficult two years with the Corona and everything, so it's inspiring to see everything full again every day. "You were very nice to me. It gives me motivation to come back and I hope that next year I will be able to learn a little French."

King of Spain

told Eurosport: "I wanted to see Rafael here and there is no one more competitive than him. Landal had a foot problem, but the way he played in the tournament is amazing. In the quarterfinals against Djokovic and in the final there was something crazy. With Nadal all Anything can happen and he showed what a great champion he is. I'm very sad for Zebrav. It's always amazing to see Nadal play, I always enjoy it. I do not play much tennis, just a little. Raphael has won this tournament 14 times, Paris is a very special place for him. And I hope to see him again here on the field. "
