Dear Rafa fans, mark your calendars.
On May 25th, 2025, Paris will host a moment we’ve all been waiting for — Rafael Nadal’s official farewell ceremony at Roland Garros, the place where he carved his legend with 14 glorious titles.
Last year’s send-off in Malaga during the Davis Cup felt a bit rushed and messy — not quite the tribute a champion like Rafa deserved. But this time? All eyes are on Court Philippe-Chatrier, where tennis history will bow to its King of Clay in the most fitting arena.
To mark Rafa’s first season post-retirement, a ceremony will take place following the conclusion of the day session’s three fixtures. An immersive and entertaining exhibition dedicated to the legendary Spaniard will also run for the duration of the tournament at the Roland-Garros Tenniseum.
Get ready for goosebumps, tears, and maybe one more Rafa fist-pump. Vamos!
