Rafael Nadal beats Norwegian Casper Ruud 6-3 6-3 6-0 and wins Roland Garros for the 14th time in his career. With today’s success, the Spaniard reaches 22 Slams won, reaching +2 on his all-time rivals, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic with 20 wins.

And while it reaches its 14th success on the red clay of France, a race of indiscretions has taken place between social and local media on a possible announcement of withdrawal by the Majorcan.

According to the French media Nadal would have asked the organizers of the Slam tournament to be able to hold an additional press conference in which, according to rumors, he announced his farewell. To fuel the thing even more the unexpected arrival of Roger Federer.

But the indiscretion was denied by the staff of the Spanish champion, in particular from the head of communication, Benito Perez-Barbadillo, who wrote on his twitter account: “The information that appeared in some media regarding the request for a second press conference by Rafael Nadal is completely false”. The case seems closed for the moment. The 36-year-old Majorcan has also recently repeated “I don’t know if it’s my last Roland Garros”: for years the champion has suffered from Müller-Weiss syndrome, a problem in the bones of his foot that has always caused him a lot of pain .
