"Which athlete would you be for a day?"

I'd love to be Nadal the tennis stud muffin. Tom Brady has too many paternity issues.

This video is part of a documentary
about Roland Garros in its 80th anniversary.
This is the part with Rafa.

Narrator: It is a title that all players dream about, a title that costs a lot to achieve. The best world champions have bitten the dust on this court, and here too, unexpected destinies have been forged.

Rafa: I think for all players of the world is a very special tournament, but for the Spaniards even more so if it is possible, Since I was a kid I have seen Spanish champions like Bruguera, like as Costa, like Moya, Ferrero. So with all this, it makes it ... perhaps, your favorite tournament, where you have seen win more Spaniards and for this reason Roland Garros has always been a reference point for me, no? The sensations that I have lived there, perhaps I have not lived in any other tournament in the world, so simply that makes a special tournament and apart the city is my favorite city in the world

Narrator: Roland Garros's history is marked by the footprints of the greatest, as much as the footprints of the players ,........ as those of some of the most influential men in the world. The gestures of the King of Spain with Rafael Nadal has nothing to do with the protocol
