There is already a statue of Fred Perry there.
Fred Perrys ashes was previously burried under the grass at CC. When the roof was made made his ashes was moved to under his statue. Dont think they can top that
Why not 2 Fred's? 2 are always better than 1.

such a statue would belong there:I nominate the squatting part of this one in still form:
In all seriousness, add another vote for the buggy whip FH. That's his signature.
And yes it should be after he retires. It should be that way for everybody IMO.

Depending on the context, I can imagine a great deal of Le Resistance from the french public to a Nadal commemoration.
I hope it happens. The man deserves it. There will be a generation of french people who will not have the same dislike for him as a lot of french people do currently, and this statue will fuel their imagination of him and showcase his achievements at that tournament.

What Le Resistance?
Yep, it's your imagination.
You may confuse the French public with the TTW "public".Also by French you mean the RG crowd? Rafa said he had some problems with the crowd at RG only. Else where in France, in Paris itself, he only feels people's love for him (his words). Don't think he's not truthful.

Well, dont ask me. But it hasnt been any talk about Fed having a statue there. There is something about him in the Museum at the venue.
Fred Perry was like a superstar of his time, bigger than the tennis players are now.

Don't you worry.
If such a thing come to pass the french will find a way to express their opinion of the Nadal in some subtle way or another (imagine VLBJ creating the statue, you get what I am saying).
It will be there for as long as the tournament is what it is too!

Same here! If at all it should be after the player retires

The French people love Rafa it's the Fedfans in the crowd who shout the loudest. The statue is going to happen. The decision has been taken, Rafa has been told and he is having a say in the design.

It's not up to you though so just accept something you have no say in.

Lol at the bolded.
Luckily a plank of wood has nothing on the bull, so if he personally approves fat chance the finer points will remain.
Not to speak of the fact that context in which the statue is put can make the finer points.

It will be a well deserved statue. Barcelona and Monte Carlo should do one each too

I hear the concept for Barcelona is a golden draw with all the spanish players lined up to kiss his ***!

I think this statue is supposed to be a not so subtle hint. What do you think @vive le beau jeu !

Has anyone told you that you don't have a vote?

Where's Andy's statue? He's got the same number of Madrid titles as Novak!
Murray has 3 grand slams. He does not belong in the conversation and will only be a footnote to the Big 3 when history looks back on this era.

I wonder if you are the leading producer of it in your country of origin or there is some competition ?
@Mainad, what about you?

Some people just can't hide their jealousy of the Great Rafael Nadal.such a statue would belong there:

Some people behaved like hooligans at Roland Garros only in 2009. French public shouldn't be confused with hooligan-Fedfans.
Rafa was voted the most popular foreign athlete in France in May 2014.
The survey was conducted among 1000 persons 15+ years old between May 19 and 24, 2014 by Uniteamsport (a marketing agency in France)

Well, I'm glad you sorted out that question to your own satisfaction but the fact remains that Murray has as many titles in Madrid as Djokovic so is entitled to have a statue there alongside him (in my own humble opinion).

Thank you for describing a frightening experience and a happy moment in your life. It says a lot about you.

You shouldn't hope that your comrades will be commissioned to create the statue.
The person you mentioned admitted that his production belongs here:

Just the headline of this thread was breaking news for me, that THAT word could be used for something as innocent as a statue

What he said. He deserves one though for his 1000 RG titles.

Murray doesn't deserve a statue anywhere. He is worlds behind the big 3.

Roger: "Sure Rod. Why not?"
Rafa: " I no wanna do this no more. Okay?"
Björn: "Six more times, Rafa!"
