00:00 Yeah, I think, at least for me, they are two biggest legacies,

00:05 because then we can find a hundred things about Rafa

00:09 and how good he is.

00:11 And for me, the two biggest things is the fighter,

00:14 because how many matches have he had against me?

00:17 We saw where he just fights till the last point,

00:20 and he's going to bring intensity from first to last point.

00:23 Everyone knows that about Rafa.

00:25 And that's not easy to play against,

00:27 because, talking about myself or some others,

00:30 sometimes you can have a bad day, bad mood,

00:33 feeling injured or something.

00:35 Him, it doesn't happen.

00:36 From first to last point, he's there.

00:38 And second point is Roland Garros.

00:40 Like, 14 times, if I'm not making a mistake, is unbelievable.

00:45 And probably, yeah.

00:47 I don't think in sports, in any sports we have...

00:51 Probably some can be compared, but 14 Roland Garroses,

00:55 I hope I can play 14 in my life.

00:57 I don't know.

00:58 Hopefully, I can maybe get one somewhere,

01:01 but not talking about this yet.

01:03 But, so, yeah, he's a huge player,

01:05 and when he retires, it's going to be huge news.

01:09 And at the same time, all of us...

01:12 It will happen to all of us one day.
