![Rafael Nadal: 'In my career, I've had to make decisions about my health where I was on the verge of right or wrong. But I think that if I hadn't explored [my limits], I might have 10 less Grand Slams. I'm not saying one or two, I'm saying 10 or 12. That's the truth.'

An excerpt from Elina Svitolina's emotional letter about Gael Monfils to their daughter Skai, for The Players’ Tribune, ahead of Gael's final Roland-Garros: 'The first thing you should know, I think, it’s that Gaël Monfils was one of the greatest shot-makers anyone has ever seen. There are others who were more consistent, or who made fewer mistakes … but it’s interesting. Because when you say why these players are great, maybe you are needing to give a long explanation. Or you are needing to show many statistics, or a whole match, or a whole tournament. But with your dad? It’s not like this. With your dad, it’s so simple. You can show someone a single point of his, even a single shot … and now they will “get it.” Because your dad, in just one shot, one moment, he could achieve what I think few athletes ever achieve. He could make people feel something. Almost like at a concert and there’s a perfect song, or at the movies and there’s a perfect line, and you have this feeling like, Oh my god. WOW. It takes your breath away.'
