00:00Hello everyone, I'm here to tell you that I'm retiring from professional tennis.
00:11The reality is that these last two years have been difficult.
00:18I think I haven't been able to play without limitations.
00:23It's a decision that is obviously difficult, that has taken me a long time to make.
00:31But in this life, everything has a beginning and an end.
00:37And I think it's the right time to put an end to what has been a long and much more successful career than I could have ever imagined.
00:50But I'm very excited that my last tournament will be the final of the Copa Davis, representing my country.
01:03I think it's about closing the circle, since one of my first great joys as a professional tennis player was the final in Seville in 2004.
01:14I feel super, super lucky for all the things I've been able to experience.
01:26I want to thank the entire tennis industry, all the people that make up this sport, my teammates for so many years, especially my great rivals.
01:38I've spent many hours with them, and I've lived many moments that I will remember for the rest of my life.
