The 14 times Rafa Nadal lifted the Roland Garros trophy have produced iconic moments, and one of them is when the tournament's speaker, Marc Maury, announced the arrival of the manacorí onto the court along with the years in which he had conquered his titles, a sequence that struck fear into the opponent he was facing. Maury was present at the AS awards ceremony and confessed how difficult it was for him to bid farewell to Nadal: "On the day of the tribute, I saw Rafa crying, and my voice failed me."
