The Big Four reunited to bid farewell to Nadal, and the King of Clay RG remained!

Last night, Beijing time, the much-anticipated clay season finale opened at the Open. However, compared to the tension on the court, there is a major event outside the court that is more touching, that is, the French Open organizing committee has officially announced the retirement ceremony to pay tribute to Nadal.


Although Nadal officially retired from the Davis Cup at the end of last year, he has been lacking a grand farewell ceremony for the king of clay, even if his personality is not suitable for such an occasion, as he himself said.



But at last year's Madrid Masters, the tribute and retirement ceremony of the hometown event did not satisfy the fans, and this time, the romantic France is undoubtedly the better choice.


At the beginning of the ceremony, the crowd chanted "RAFA" in unison, all dressed in uniform red costumes with uniform characters printed on them, and in an instant, the mountains roared and the tsunami was deafening and resounding in the sky.


In the stands, Alcaraz and Swiatek, the two new generation and last year's men's and women's singles champions, were among them. The queen of Polish red clay even prepared tissues, as she said in a previous interview, "there are tears". It is undoubtedly the best choice for such a junior to take over the scepter of the King of Clay.



Immediately afterwards, Nadal's moving posture and achievements during the French Open for nearly two decades were shown on the big screen, and the Spaniard could no longer hold back his tears, which was the first time he touched the scene.


Then, in a series of thanks, Nadal paid tribute to his wife, uncle, parents and coach. Finally, as the big screen played Nadal against Federer, Djokovic and Murray, the scene that fans had been waiting for was finally staged.


When the host announced, I saw Djokovic standing in the center of the tunnel, Federer and Murray standing on either side. After entering, Nadal hugged Federer, Djokovic and Murray in turn.



In fact, when Djokovic had just won the Geneva championship, he had already revealed that the Big Four would reunite this time just to accompany Nadal through this special moment. However, when the four reunited after Federer's retirement, fans couldn't help but burst into tears.


It's a happy generation of fans, as they have had the privilege of witnessing the four men push men's tennis to a height that will be difficult for future generations to achieve. Although the three of them did not speak, silence was better than sound at this time, and I believe that touching and warmth rose in each other's hearts.



As Nadal mentioned in his speech: We have all achieved what we first achieved when we first pursued our tennis dreams, and we have gone from being the greatest rivals to best friends.


Finally, Nadal's mark on Centre Court will be forever, and the special mark of "RAFA 14" will mean that Nadal and Roland Garros will be together for a long time. How can such a scene not be moving?


Bless Nadal, and bless the Big Four, tennis, so good!(Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye)
