“With Roger, I have a good relationship and a special feeling. After the victory, he wrote me a message to compliment me,” Nadal said during his conversation with Angelo Mangiante on Sky Sports, per Sportskeeda.

Nadal was able to put his foot to “sleep” for two weeks and win a record 14th French Open title after beating Casper Ruud in the final. “It’s an incredible story, difficult for me to explain, but that’s the way things are and I’m particularly happy.
The last three and a half months have been difficult, there has been a lot of work behind it but also many limitations. Being able to go all the way to Roland Garros with a win is very exciting,” said Nadal. Also, Nadal predicted a bright future for Italian tennis as he thinks that an Italian will win a Grand Slam in the next few years.

“I have played many times in Italy. In the end, there are many similarities with Spain, the language is similar, and it is a friendly country in Spain. When I am in Italy, I always feel at home. I believe that Italy is doing a very good job and we are seeing positive results with Jannik Sinner, Matteo Berrettini, Lorenzo Sonego, and Lorenzo Musetti. Lots of young players with great chances of winning a Grand Slam and I’m sure it will happen.” Nadal said.
