“20 years of professional career in which i have always taken me to Bolanda not the good times I It helped me win the next point and in the bad moments, without a doubt, it pushed me to keep fighting, and I have been able to live with all of you.

Not only all of you who have allowed me to live the excitement I had of playing the Davis Cup again. It is clear that it has not turned out as we all would have wanted, I would have loved to be able to help more than I have done.

So, a thousand thousand thanks to everyone, really well the reality is It’s just that, one never wants to get to this point, no, I honestly am not tired of playing tennis, it’s just that the body has reached a certain point where it doesn’t want to play tennis anymore, so you have to accept the situation.

I’m a person who believes in the in the continuity in keeping the people who really love you and who really make your life better close to you is what I’ve tried to do throughout my life keeping the team keeping the family close making few changes in my team and that has led me to not have a personal relationship with all of you, a professional relationship, but to really have a personal relationship that goes far beyond our professional career that we have lived together for all of this.

“It has meant a lot to me to have the support of very important companies and on top of that That they have believed in me during all these years has made me feel safe and feel really good being part of all of your family. Thank you very much to all of you. I do not want to forget the media. You have sincerely been with me, accompanying me, telling me about you.
What has been my story in many places in the world, some traveling more, others traveling less, but I want to thank you for the way you have treated me most of the time. Sometimes I have made mistakes in things, I have played many games badly, and others well. But I have felt very well treated by you and the most important thing for me is that I believe that there has always been a relationship of respect with all of you and although you do your job, I appreciate mine very much in the way that you do. you have treated me and that you have been able to tell me to tell the world the story that I have had, which has been a beautiful story for me with moments that have been bad but the reality is that the vast majority have been really good and unforgettable. So thank you very much for having been part of it. From my story also to the entire sports industry the ATP the ITF eh all those who have said well before no but the Royal Spanish Tennis Federation eh all eh Balearic Federation all those who make this sport continue to be in the at the top of the world we are a global sport you make our sport continue to move the masses and I encourage you to continue on the path that you have been pursuing for so long eh I am super passionate about sports in general I am going to I want to retire from professional tennis but I’m still here.
Whatever it is, I hope to continue being a good ambassador for tennis. That’s what I’ve tried to do. Honestly, all my life I’ve tried to strive every day to be better, to achieve my goals. but I’ve been trying to do it since I think that from respect, from humility, from valuing all the good things that have happened to me, I think that in some way I have tried to do something that for me is the most important thing in this world, which is to be I hope that you have perceived it that way.
I am also sincerely leaving this world of professional tennis having left behind many, having found many friends along the way. I don’t have many people whom I would like to thank and who I’ve been through tournaments and people who have worked with me at the ATP. It’s hard to remember everyone, but I really think that I’m leaving with the peace of mind that in some way I’ve left a legacy, as I really feel.”
Just a sports and personal sport because I understand that the affection I receive around the world if it weren’t just for what happens on the track wouldn’t be the same, so really thank you very much for everything. I want to say goodbye. saying the last words Thanking my family that really hasn’t No no I haven’t failed never no they have been with me in the moments when things seemed impossible in the moments when things were going well they have kept my feet on the ground They have not let me get up practically never And I think that makes the moment of today Whatever happens in the future will really be easier to bear. I don’t know that there is a process, I don’t know if it is difficult, but all the changes in this life involve a process of adaptation and I am calm because I really believe that I have received you.
