Raphael Nadal On Tuesday he defeated Novak Djokovic as usual at Roland Garros, a tournament where the leaderboard showed the Spaniards an overwhelming eight to two wins. The usual result was between two players separated by only one age gap, so there is no generation gap. As for the bright headlines that reference the hackneyed phrase “Ave phoenix” (Libération), it’s hard to apply the resurrection to the winner of the only Grand Slam played this year. The other contenders would have died anyway, but this slip up illuminates the obsession with burying Nadal in the world of sports.
Surprised by Nadal’s customary victory over Djokovic, it was the experts who graced the headlines on Tuesday morning with a big photo… alcaraz. Out of the urgency of renewing the legends, they devised a high-flying burial plan. In the afternoon, the Murcian tennis player gets rid of Zverev, whom he sent in just an hour in Madrid. Then the notorious brutal war between Mallorca and the Serbs was fought only with the victory of the latter. The dead are buried with honors worthy of Siegfried, the witness passes to an extraordinary young man, and the Roland Garros semi-final is called Djokovic-Alcaraz.
nadal disappointed the gravediggersthey are now celebrating it in a false language that they have adapted to the Spanish successor. The only possible outcome of the duel is seen as a success, because the duel took the wrong body. The predeceased are the only survivors, and the frustration of procrastination is closer to clues of withdrawal than Nadal’s mental exhaustion. He understands that there is a substitute for the gods and that the excess of victory does not hinder the substitution, even if the substitute is green and Majorca continues to pay for the maturity. Personally, it’s urgent for me that Nadal and Djokovic retire to stop watching tennis, I leave you alone with your Alcaraz who has everything to prove.
