Not many PLAYED 14 @rolandgarros tournaments. He won it 14 times. There is no word to describe this feat. Don't think good old Phillippe would mind if his court changes the name to Rafael Nadal – statue is not enough

It’s damn near impossible to win your local men’s open that many times 😂
Casper Ruud-Already a true champion. He’ll be back! And Rafa, well Rafa is Rafa. Always down to earth, no matter what the outcome.Huge inspiration for the sporting world! I hope all youngsters were watching, especially the pre & post match respect between opponents & to the sport

WE all know it: G.O.A.T. Period. Congratulations to the KING of TENNIS and sports – period. Best ever. And we are blessed to have gotten to watch it all. Never thrown a racket – until he dropped his after winning today. And that’s just not the same. 😉 Any parent putting their child into any sport needs to do a class with their child on how to be a sportsman by watching Rafa. We love you, Rafa! Best ever!!!
I love that King Felipe was interviewed by Alex Corretja about how wonderful Rafa is!
Congrats to Rafa. We are privileged to watch history being made in real time.
Love how Roger’s coach is recommending that Chatrier be renamed Court Rafael Nadal. 👍🏻 Class act.
Twitter exploded. I also exploded in excitement.
14 RG titles, 22 Grand Slams, 92 Career titles.
112-3 win/loss at the French Open.
Rafa, you make us proud. VAMOS Rafa.
Ivan Ljubicic-you got it. Court Rafael Nadal has a great ring to it🏆🎾👏❤️
I told you all prior to the Novak’ s match that if Rafa was healthy you shouldn’t mind The Joker nor the conditions, Rafa was going to be victorious! Didn’t he turnout to be? So never mess with our champ, vamos!
This is just surreal❤️
Congrats Rafa for #14/22, you are amazing!!!
