Rafa Nadal will definitively say goodbye to tennis this week in the final of the Davis Cup in Malaga. Even if the salad bowl is at stake, the farewell of what could be the best Spanish athlete in history is attracting great attention in the army.
This Monday, during the press conference preceding Tuesday’s quarter-finals against The Netherlandsthe manacorí was the great protagonist.
Of course, now he doesn’t want to hear about his goodbyes: “I feel good, I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. I tried to give myself a chance and I decided with time.”
“I’m enjoying the week, I don’t pay much attention to the issue of withdrawal.. It will be a big change in my life after this week. “I’m very excited and happy to be here,” he added.
Nadal assures that he is well physically and that he only thinks about winning… and later there will be tributes and farewells.
“If I’m on the track, I hope to control my emotions. I’m not here to retire. I’m here to help the team win. It’s my last week of team competition and the most important thing is to help the team. The emotions will come at the end. Before and after, I will be focused on what I have to do,” he added.
