“I want to thank Roland Garros for the invitation to participate in the ‘Trophée des légends’ 2022. It will be very special to play again in a place full of such beautiful memories together with Gisela, whom I admire, respect and love very much. See you on the 31 from May to June 5 in Paris”Gaby wrote on her Twitter account.
“It is with great happiness that I want to tell you that together with Gaby Sabatini we are going to play the Legends Tournament together at Roland Garros. Returning to Paris after 10 years and playing there again makes my heart burst with joy,” Dulko had anticipated on Instagram on March 22.
And he added: “Thank you for trusting me, Gaby dear, and accepting to be my partner. I always admired you and this is a dream come true. I love you very much! Now, let’s enjoy this Grand Slam”.
Sabatini, 51, who retired in 1996, was a five-time semi-finalist in the singles at Roland Garros and three times reached the final in doubles, paired with Germany’s Steffi Graf.
Dulko, on the other hand, 37 years old and away from activity since 2012, was number 1 in doubles in 2010 and at the French Open she was twice eighth in singles and three times reached the quarterfinals of the doubles draw. .
