Nadal Dedicates French Open Victory to His Good Friend Clay
Shortly after winning the 2006 French Open in four sets, Rafael Nadal dedicated his victory to his best friend and longtime partner, clay:
“What can I say, the clay, he came through for me again. Such a simple man, clay. A very fine-grained soil that is plastic when moist but hard when fired, hydrous silicate particles less than 4 micrometres in diameter. The finest of all surfaces to be playing tennis on.
The banana, he try to kill me, but the clay, he love me. And you know what, I love him too. There, I’ve said it. I love him even more than the strange silly pants I wear. And this, my friends, speaks volumes for my love of clay.
