Roland Garros held an emotional tribute to the 14-time French Open winner's career on the opening day of the tournament, six months after Nadal played his final match. "I don't miss tennis much, because I feel that I gave it all that I had," Nadal told reporters. "I arrived today with the peace that I can't be on court. My body don't allow me to be on court. So that's all. I am in peace.
