00:00What did he mean to you as a Spanish athlete and was there anything you took from him about
00:07how he approached this profession?
00:09Just proud, you know, for how he has represented the country, the sport. I think as an athlete
00:17for everybody, it doesn't matter if you're a tennis fan or not, the way he acts, the
00:21way he behaves, the way he wins and especially the way he's lost, the way he has dealt with
00:26difficulties in life, he's just an inspiration. For me it's a very special role model because
00:32as well I know him and the people around him and how he had to adjust his career, adapt
00:38to it and what he has achieved I think is phenomenal. It's like Roger, I think they
00:43will be there as one of the best forever in the sport.
