The T-Shirt That Rafael Nadal Wore During the 2005 Roland Garros Championship is Now up for Auction. How About $100,000?

Nearly two decades ago, young talent Rafael Nadal achieved worldwide fame by claiming his first singles title at Roland Garros with an impressive performance. If you have an extra $100,000 in your wallet, you may have the opportunity to own a piece of this historic moment.

Nadal started that year at Roland Garros as the number 4 seed, defeating David Ferrer in the quarter-finals and Roger Federer in the semi-finals for the first time in a Grand Slam tournament. Nadal, who had just turned 19, achieved a great victory by fighting in four sets against unseeded Mariano Puerta in the final.

With these three victories, Nadal created not only his tennis talent, but also one of the most unforgettable fashion moments in the history of the sport. This outfit of Nadal, who draws attention with his green patterned Nike t-shirt and long white trousers, is remembered as one of the most iconic clothes of his career. This T-shirt, one of the few exclusive items worn by Nadal, is being offered for sale in an auction organized by Prestige Memorabilia.

The t-shirt is expected to sell for a six-figure price at auction; Previous items, such as the racket that Nadal won at the 2007 Roland Garros and sold for $118,206, also found buyers at prices above estimates.
This means that for the first time, an item that brought a Grand Slam win is put up for auction, and bidding begins for a piece that will likely reach a higher value. The auction will be open until August 4 and the starting price is set at $25,000.

Collectible enthusiasts can bid on many valuable tennis memorabilia, including this historic piece, at TheTennisAuction.com. The auction also includes products of other tennis stars such as Roger Federer and Carlos Alcaraz.

I wish you all good luck!
