Tennis legend Rafael Nadal has received a tribute at the ongoing French Open 2025 for his legacy at Roland Garros. The star player has won 14 French Open titles in the last 20 years. The star player has suffered defeat in just four matches out of 116 he has played in Paris, and this record seems unachievable at the current moment.
Thereafter, the French Open organizers have decided to give a heartwarming tribute to the Spanish legend for his unparalleled success in French Open history. Notably, everything was secret since the tournament took place.
His family was also present, including his wife, Maria Nadal; sister, Maribel; mother, Ana; and father, Sebastien, with his coach and uncle, Tony Nadal.
A cute moment unfolded between Rafael Nadal's son and world number two Carlos Alcaraz as they were seen doing a high-five at the event. Tennis star Carlos Alcaraz was also present at the ceremony, where he was spotted doing a high five with Nadal's son, which captured fans' hearts worldwide.

Meanwhile, the senior Spaniard has backed the junior Spaniard to win the French Open 2025 title. Notably, Carlos Alcaraz is the defending champion and seems to be in great form heading to the tournament. The 38-year-old tennis legend feels that Jannik Sinner and Alcaraz have an edge as compared to the rest of the ATP stars and might win this title.
“[Jannik] Sinner has already won 3 Slams. It seems that Jannik and Carlos [Alcaraz] are at a higher level than the others and that if they are spared from injuries, they will fight for the most important titles for a long time. Jannik and Carlos have an advantage over the others at the moment; they seem to be at a higher level and have been for the last two years, but we will see; the future is unpredictable,” Nadal said.
