Rafael Nadal’s sister Maribel shared a family photo after the tribute ceremony for the 14-time Roland Garros champion. The photo included family members, including Nadal’s wife Maria, as well as his grandmother.
Nadal received a glittering tribute ceremony at his most prolific performing ground. Since the Spaniard retired last year, this ceremony at Roland Garros was in the offing, and the event did not disappoint, from Nadal delivering an emotional speech to him being given a special trophy and a special plaque commemorating the Spaniard’s footprint on Philippe Chatrier.
The stadium was filled with people wearing specially made orange-colored shirts with “Merci Rafa” written on them. What took the event to another height was the presence of the trio of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Andy Murray, three of Nadal’s greatest opponents during his tennis career.
After the event was over, Nadal and his family were seen posing for a family photograph. His sister, Maribel, shared the picture on Instagram, which was taken in front of a wall that encapsulated Nadal’s 14 victories at Roland Garros, with pictures from each title-winning campaign.
