On 5 June 2005, two days after his 19th birthday, Rafa Nadal reached a milestone in Paris that would be the first stone of a memorable achievement. After winning the trophies in Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Rome, Rafa faced his first appearance at Roland Garros. With an unquestionable superiority he overcame Lars Burgsmuller, Xavier Malisse, Richard Gasquet, Sebastien Grosjean, David Ferrer and Roger Federer, before beating the Argentinian Mariano Puerta in the final. The rest of the story you already know: fourteen Roland Garros titles, one of the greatest feats in the history of world sport. Today Nike wants to pay tribute to this legendary race in the French capital with a T-shirt in the form of a tribute. The aim is to commemorate Rafa's beginnings with an iconic image that reflects the DNA that has helped him become one of the greatest tennis players of all time. This is a limited edition, which is now available in the Rafa Nadal Shop, so don't miss out on yours!
