Johannesburg: Rafael Nadal has been awarded Paris's most prestigious honor, the " Grand Vermeil."

Hidalgo said that the history of Roland Garros could not be written without Nadal, calling the world no. 7 "an exemplary champion who has always maintained his humility".
The 14-time Grand Slam winner too described Paris as the "most important city" in his career, and the one where he "came of age as a sportsman" ten years ago.
The honour comes only days before Nadal, who similarly received a gold medal from Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy recently, starts competing for the 10th French Open title at Roland Garros.
