Barcelona, October 23, 2009
Being a Five-time champion is something very few players achieve in their life; now, imagine doing that 5 years in a row! Amazing right?
Well, only the greats in history have been able to achieve that and Rafa Nadal, a member of RCT Barcelona since his early childhood and number two in the world right now is one of those privileged to belong to that select club.
No one has been like him since the tournament started in1953. For this reason, tournament organizers have awarded him with a full size replica of the sterling silver ‘Conde de Godo’ trophy.
"Everything that happened to me in the past few years has been nothing short of special, winning five times in Barcelona is unthinkable,” said Rafa at the award ceremony. “For me this is the most important tournament after the four Grand Slams and Masters Series events. This is a tournament with tradition and playing here is always different…It is where I feel at home. This trophy will be kept in a very special place in my house. "
Vamos Rafa!
