‘It’s pure joy’
The 35-year-old announced in late March that 2026 will be his final year on tour and after his Paris chapter had come to an end took part in an emotional on-court ceremony to celebrate his career.
“It’s pure joy, nothing but emotion with some magnificent moments,” the Belgian told the Lenglen crowd.
“Amazing matches, beautiful courts, superb atmospheres. I’ve always been welcomed here like one of yours, like a champion, like a prince. Thank you very much.”
