00:00Tennis and sports life in general have been my passion all my life, since I was a kid.
00:16You have to work hard in every aspect of life to reach your goals.
00:31When he started playing, people were paying attention to him because he was my nephew.
00:39But now that I've stopped, it's the opposite. People are paying attention to me because I'm his uncle.
00:53He was very young, I think. He plays well.
01:00He's a great player.
01:15It was a tournament that made me very excited. I think it was the most important tournament of my life.
01:30He's the best tennis player in the world.
01:34I've had adversities in my career. It's obvious. We're not going to hide them.
02:01In the last 8 years, with everything I've achieved, which is more than I expected, I'm the player who has lost the most opportunities because of injuries.
02:31I'm sure Roger is almost impossible to repeat. I'm happy with what I have. Compared to Roger, I think it's too much.
02:40Sport, in this case tennis, gives me a lot. So that's my way to give something back to the kids and to the young, new generations.
03:10I'm happy with what I do. I work hard to give myself the chance to compete well and to be ready to fight for the things that motivate me.
03:40We have, I think, a great anti-doping program.
04:07That's it. The only thing I can say is to believe in the anti-doping control and in the values of the sport in general.
04:17Outside of that, the people who are not doing the right things are 100% sure that they don't deserve to be competing in the world of sport.
04:37I'm happy with what I've achieved. I'm happy with what I've done. I'm happy with what I have.
05:06It's something that is difficult to explain, so better not.
05:37There are many, more than I would have ever dreamed of. When the years go by, more than the rankings, what really fills you up are the victories and the titles.
05:49Today is a title that, when each one finishes the race, he has left.
