00:00I heard the news about Andy and I hope that he will have the best possible farewell and his last
00:08competitive match here in Olympics for him and his country. He has been a legend, he is a legend
00:15of our sport, he has been incredibly important player for tennis globally. Nadal of course the
00:23same even more all the the results and achievements he has had particularly in this city
00:30in Roland Garros. Nadal still didn't say when his last tournament will be so
00:37hopefully for the sake of the sport he can keep going. I don't have the retirement close in my
00:44mind to be honest even though I know a lot of people would love me to retire so that this era
00:50is done but I think as long as as long as there is at least one of us left in the
00:59competition I think the era is still going. Of course that there is a change of generations and
01:05you have Alcaraz and Sinner currently that are two best players in the world
01:10deservely. I mean they are playing on a very high level particularly this year
01:16and they're very young and they are going to carry this sport in the future.
01:20Of course the end is nearer than the beginning I know that for me personally as well but
01:25I still enjoy competition and I'll keep going until until I don't enjoy it anymore.
