"I'll try to be competitive": Nadal given replica of Roland-Garros statue and sets French Open aims

Rafael Nadal has been given a replica of his Roland Garros statue at the French Open after a visit from Gilles Moretton and Amelie Mauresmo representing the FFT.
Nadal is the most successful tennis player of all time at Roland Garros winning the event 14 times with a 112-3 record all-time at the event. Nobody will likely ever be as good as Nadal at that event and that's why he's got a statue there. He received a replica of that statue in Mallorca recently when he was visited by Mauresmo and Moretton on behalf of the French Tennis Federation.
He spoke at the event saying:
“It is a great privilege to welcome you here in my academy. You know how much Roland-Garros and this place mean to me. Having you here is a very special moment, and I can’t
thank you enough for coming, along with some of the staff with whom I am
very close at Roland-Garros. Thank you so much for sending this replica of the big one at Roland-Garros. For me, it is incredible to have my sculpture at Roland-Garros and now I have one here, and that means a lot.”

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
