“The name of Roland‐Garros will not change. But if there is one court on earth that deserves to bear Nadal’s name, it is the Philippe‐Chatrier court,” Julien Benneteau declared a few days ago on the L’Equipe channel after the announcement of the Rafael Nadal’s retirement.

However, the ex‐25^e world champion and current captain of the French Billie Jean King Cup team shared a rather different opinion on the same subject in the Grandes Gueules du Sport on RMC.

“No, he already has a statue, he has a court in his name in Barcelona, he will have everything in his name in Spain. If we had to rename him, he would have to have a name: Yannick Noah. It’s amazing that this isn’t the case yet. »
