Roland Garros 2014: Rafael Nadal makes worldwide headlines
Rafael Nadal won his first Grand Slam of the year and the ninth French Open of his career on Sunday as he defeated Novak Djokovic. Newspapers world wide announced the win with articles and photos from the tournament. Here are some of them.
From Vietnam, Rafael wins, I’m happy and congratulate him for me …. Rafael is a great champion and very lovely. Hopefully he achieved the highest success in Wimbledon and U.S. Open this year.
I was fortunate to have been in Roland Garros on Sunday to witness the achievement of our great champion. I met many fellow supporters from all over the world and we connected with great joy and a common bond. What a performance and he demonstrates once again his ability to figure things out. He showed,not just his ability but his dignity and innate grace in his behaviour. The emotion was palpable and it was lovely to see the great Borg greet him with genuine affection; two true legends, two gentlemen,
Sou uma fã incondicional desse exemplo do esporte que é Rafael Nadal. Dentro e fora das quadras. Rei do saibro e, afina, nos demais pisos. Majestade sem arrogância. Atleta admirável, dedicado, persistente, genial, passional, técnico, combina razão e emoção na medida exata. É um fenômeno! Touro e toureiro numa arena feliz. Congratulaciones, Rafa!!! Que pueda seguir siendo esta persona admirable por muchos años; encantadora y amable. Mi cariño desde Río de Janeiro, Brasil. Marcia Lahtermaher
MIS MAS SINCERAS FELICITACIONES, PARA EL ÚNICO REY DE LA ARCILLA “RAFAEL
NADAL”, ES UN FENÓMENO ORIGINAL, EN LA ARCILLA, YO ESPERO SIGA COSECHANDO MUCHOS TRIUNFOS, PUES LE QUEDAN MUCHOS
AÑOS, SALUDOS A SU LINDA FAMILIA, SU ENTRENADOR Y EL EQUIPO,SUFRO AL TENER QUE VER LOS PARTIDOS SIN SONIDO, PUES NO ME GUSTAN PARA NADA LOS COMENTARISTAS,DE ESPN, SOLO LO ATACAN Y ESO DE DECIRLE LA FIERA ES UNA FALTA DE RESPETO, CUANDO LO REPITEN SI LOS ESCUCHO ESPECIALMENTE CUANDO HA GANADO, Y YA ES LA SEGUNDA VEZ QUE LE GANA AL OPONENTE TERMINANDO CON DOBLE FALTA, MIL FELICIDADES, SOY SALVADOREÑA
So Happy I found Rafa Nadal Fans.com—now I get my daily dose of news on my Favorite and the Greatest Player of all time!!!!! Love T. Berdych’s comment on how Rafa has Clay in his DNA!!!!!!!!
yes it should be name after him/. and all the best /. Rafa./ you are a true champion./ generous, humble, trustworthy, and a down to earth person/. from the bottom of my heart/./. God will continue showering you with his love and Bless you for more victories to come/./. God Bless
Rafa EL REY !!!! Felicidades te mereces esto y mas, por todo el esfuerzo y dedicacion, te admiramos y tqm desde Mexico. Ojala y vengas otra vez a visitarnos, eres especial.
Rafa se lo merece todo. Los españoles deben estar muy orgullosos, pero yo soy uruguaya y estoy tan orgullosa como ellos. Vi el partido con la remera de Rafa puesta. Siempre pensé que iba a ganar a pesar de que se le fue el primer set porque a Djokovic no lo veia bien. No hay palabras para describir lo que ha logrado, GRANDE, UNICO, ESPECTACULAR, no se, parecen ser palabras que no alcanzan. Soy una fan leal, de las que siempre estuvieron con el y no solo cuando gana y me asombra su poder de recuperación. Hay muchos que no se reponen de un periodo de poca confianza. Nunca vi nada como el. FELICITACIONES AL QUERIDO RAFA Y TODO SU EQUIPO, Y UN ESPECIAL CARINO A SU NOVIA.
Without any doubt, Nadal is the GOAT; no one, living or dead, can surpass or match this great achievement! John Mcenroe and Agassi and a lot of the other legends already regard him as the GOAT, so what elase? But for the unfortunate accident of Robin Solderling in 2009, even the maestro Federer would most likely not have won a French open trophy to date, which would mean that, Roger Federer too would not have completed a career grand slam! That’s the truth and even Roger knows it. If not for Solderling, Roger Federer would not have completed the career grand slam!
Rafa is a living legend and Roland Garros should immediately be renamed after him. THIS IS THE TIME TO IMMORTALISE RAFA NADAL! We don’t need to wait till next year when he makes it a 10.

Name the center court Rafa

I agree, the central court should be named after him. He owns it anyway.
