Rafa’s uncle, Toni Nadal, announced on the eve of the final that Rafael would play against Casper Ruud at Roland Garros at 3 p.m.
“I know it’s going to be a tough match for both of us, so if Rafael has to lose, then let it be against Casper,” Toni began.
“And if Casper has to lose, he better lose to Rafael because he is his idol.” I am doubly happy that Rafael is playing in the new Roland Garros final, and his opponent is Casper Ruud, one of the players who trained here. We are proud to work with him, but we are also happy to have had the opportunity to train with one of the most educated players on the Tour. “
