This time, he wasn't stepping in to compete. He paused, waved to the crowd, and took in the moment, returning once more to the place where his legend was evening everyone, this is difficult for me," he said, his voice unsteady. "I don't know how to start after having played on this court during the past 20 years. To have enjoyed, suffered, won, lost Above all, I'm emotional that I had the chance to play here."He thanked French Tennis Federation president Gilles Moretton and tournament director Amlie Mauresmo for the opportunity to say farewell on the court that meant everything to REMINISCES ROLAND GARROS JOURNEY"My infinite gratitude to Gilles [Moretton], Amelie [Mauresmo] and the entire Roland Garros team for giving me the opportunity to have this farewell on without a doubt the most important tennis court in my career."It has been an incredible story that began back in 2004 when I came to Roland Garros for the very first time. I could barely walk due to my foot injury but that year I climbed to the top of the court on my crutches. I dreamed of coming back the following year. In 2005, I was finally able to play here for the first time. I was 18 years old and my first major experience was the match that I played against my childhood friend and rival Richard Gasquet. From that day on, I fully understood what Roland Garros meant. Rafael Nadal with Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray (Reuters Photo) That dream became reality in 2005, when an 18-year-old Nadal made his debut, defeating childhood friend Richard Gasquet in the opening round before going on to win his first Grand Slam title. He would go on to win the tournament 13 more times, setting a standard few believe will ever be 2005 to 2008, Nadal won four straight titles, defeating Federer in the final three times - including a 2008 win where he lost just four games. After suffering his first defeat in Paris to Robin Soderling in 2009, he returned in 2010 and beat the Swede in the final, starting another five-year reign. In 2012, he beat Djokovic to claim his seventh title, passing Bjorn Borg. His 10th came in 2017, and he added four more before his final win in PAYS TRIBUTE TO NOVAK, FEDERERNadal also paid tribute to his rivals - many of whom joined him on court for the experienced everything over these 20 years. I have had incredible rivals - like Andy, Novak and of course Roger - and many others who pushed me to my physical and mental limits. Truly nothing would be as thrilling without these long lasting rivalries that have driven all of us to improve every single day. Roland Garros is unique. Not only because it is a fundamental part of history but for all the people who work tirelessly, with a smile, to make this tournament what it is, unique."A constant presence throughout much of that journey was his uncle and longtime coach, Toni Nadal, who guided him through his formative years and the first 10 French Open titles."Toni, you are the reason why I am here," Nadal said during the ceremony. "Thank you for giving up a large part of your life to want to be with me. Training, talking, making me suffer, making me laugh, and also bringing me to my limits. What we have lived was not always easy, but without any doubt, it was worth it."
