quarter-finals of the singles, doubles and mixed at the US Open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have had an incredible year and this is the final touch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had the honour of being a small part of the Olympic Games in Rio [de Janeiro], to have the new tennis stadium there named after me, to run with the torch and to hold the [national] flag to start the Closing Ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never thought I would have such an opportunity because, as you know, tennis was not part of the Olympics when I was playing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo have my 1966 final remembered too is very important to me and I really appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you very much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TV Globo \/ SporTV made a special documentary tribute on Maria Esther to coincide with the occasion, and were on hand at the
