Rafael Nadal to Be Honoured in Grand Tribute as build up to Roland-Garros 2025 Begins
Roland-Garros and Rafael Nadal have always been a love story written in red clay. Across two decades, the Spanish legend carved out an unparalleled legacy with 14 French Grand Slam titles, defining an era and earning his crown as the undisputed King of Clay. Now, as the 2025 tournament begins, that love story will be celebrated in unforgettable fashion with tickets and travel packages still available.
On Sunday, May 25, just one month from now and the opening day of this year’s tournament, Nadal will be honoured in a special ceremony on Court Philippe-Chatrier. Following his official retirement in November 2024 after Spain’s Davis Cup campaign, the 22-time Grand Slam champion is set to return – not to compete, but to be commemorated. French Grand Slam director Amelie Mauresmo announced the plans earlier this week, calling Nadal’s contribution to the sport “deserving of the highest order of recognition.”
The tribute will take place during the day session in front of what is expected to be a capacity crowd. The ceremony will also honour 2000 women’s champion Mary Pierce and French veteran Richard Gasquet, who is set to play his final Roland-Garros.
