Well Andy being there with the Big 3 is like someone with an economy plus ticket being bumped to First Class on a flight.

It’s nice the individual gets to do that it but nobody is fooled. ; )

Classist! :face-with-tears-of-joy:

I get everyone's point, made over and over. But I suspect, if this is your problem with the ceremony, you didn't watch it. Anyway, I hope you do. I'm going to see if I can find a subtitled version, because much of the speech, and the best of it, was in Spanish.

Seeing I have time,

I watched the full ceremony on You Tube, a day later

In regards to Federer, Novak and Murray coming on court? I knew they would attend, I just thought they would be in the stands like Rafa's family and friends, quite frankly I didnt understand why they had to be on court with Rafa, anyway moving on,
Of course I was crying the minute I saw tears in Rafa's eyes, I loved his speech to Toni, what a relationship they had over the years, I thought at times Toni was hard on Rafa,Rafa accepted it over the years.
To have Rafa's footprint on Philip Chatrier was a fitting farewell to the the Greatest Clay Court Player and his 14 Roland Garros Titles, Rafael Nadal Parera!

Today is Rafael Nadal's 39th birthday. It is the first time his birthday falls on a Tuesday since he turned 28 in 2014. He won his 9th French Open title, and 14th slam overall, a few days later.

Rafa was born on a Tuesday back in 1986. He also won the 2008 French Open title, his 4th straight, when his 22nd birthday fell on a Tuesday.
