00:00I think at this point, honestly, it's day by day for Rafa.

00:03I mean, of course, I was sad and disappointed that Rafa couldn't make it here

00:08because there was hope till the last moment that he was going to do it, you know.

00:11So, look, it's been a tough summer for him.

00:15He obviously wanted to play super well, you know, at the Olympics, at the French Open
