Rafael Nadal was the main protagonist of the 2025 Laureus Awards when he received the Sport Icon Award. After the gala, the manacorí was asked if he missed tennis and the professional circuit. The champion of 22 Grand Slams was quite clear: "I don't miss tennis at all, not because I ended tired or in conflict with tennis. Quite the opposite, I finished happy and if I could, I would continue playing because I loved what I did, it thrilled me, and it has been like that my whole life. The thing is, when one realizes they can't continue, they try to close that chapter, and I have closed mine."

Carlos Alcaraz also made an appearance at the Laureus Awards held in Madrid, as he was nominated for athlete of the year. Despite not winning the award, the Spanish player spoke on Televisión Española about his physical condition: "The truth is that I'm fine. Nothing out of the ordinary after two weeks of ten matches in twelve days and not much time for recovery. The body gives you small warnings and I believe and trust that it won't be anything serious. Tomorrow I'll undergo tests to see how it goes, but my sensations have been positive. Today I've been with the physio and I've noticed positive things, so we'll see what happens," confessed Alcaraz, who would debut at the Mutua Madrid Open next Saturday.
