Roland-Garros: Nadal does not need to be called "king of anything"

With thirteen victories on Parisian clay since 2005, Rafael Nadal is, without question, the greatest player in history on this surface. A supremacy which logically led to the creation of nicknames of which the Spaniard is not necessarily a big fan, in particular that of king of clay. “Rafa” explained himself on the subject after his victory against Félix Auger-Aliassime on Sunday: “No, nobody calls me that in my family, not even in my relatives, not at all . No, I don’t feel like that. Of course, on this surface, I probably do better than the others, I don’t need to be called the king of anything. I know what I have done in my tennis career and especially on this surface and that’s all, there is nothing more.
