In a surprising turning point of events during the award ceremony of Roland-Garros, the Spanish legend Rafa Nadal sparked a sensation by firmly refusing and definitely wearing advertising sponsored by Tesla, the famous company of Elon Musk, on its official clothing for the event.

Despite the great sum of money offered for sponsorship, Nadal explained his decision with a convincing and respectful reason: “I just want an elegant and simple dress on this very important day for me. I don’t want people to think that I am someone who puts money first of all, agreeing to advertise a great company on my most special day.”

The tennis player added that for him, receiving a prize in Roland-Garros, should be a sacred moment, reserved exclusively for his fans, friends and family who come to share his joy. “I don’t need money for this moment; what I appreciate the most is the presence and support of those who are with me,” said Nadal.

Nadal’s position generated admiration and respect in the sports community and among his fans, who appreciate his integrity and commitment to the values ​​that have called him one of the largest in world tennis.

While Carlos Alcaraz also made news for his decisions off the pitch, Nadal once again shows that his legacy goes beyond the trophies and that his personal principles are unwavering, even in the face of financial temptations.

The refusal of Tesla’s advertising to such a prestigious event as Roland-Garros reaffirms the image of Rafa Nadal as an authentic athlete, focused on what really matters: sport, family and his fans.
