I always hoped this day would never come. Thank you for the unforgettable memories and all your incredible achievements in the game we love. It's been an absolute honor!
I have enjoyed you and I will miss you very much when you retire after the Davis Cup.
I leave with the absolute peace of mind of having given my best, of having made an effort in every way.
The reality is that it has been some difficult years — these last two especially.
Really, everything I have experienced has been a dream come true.
I am very excited that my last tournament will be the final of the Davis Cup and representing my country.
I am retiring from professional tennis. The reality is that it has been some difficult years, these last two especially.
It is obviously a difficult decision, one that has taken me some time to make. But in this life, everything has a beginning and an end.
Talking about my team is a little bit more difficult for me because in the end, my team has been a very important part of my life. They are not co-workers, they are friends. They have been by my side at all the times I have really needed them. Very bad moments, very good moments.
