00:00Tennis and sports life in general have been my passion during all my life since I was a kid.

00:16People have to work a lot in every aspect of life to reach their goals.

00:31When he started to play, 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 very good 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 a very good player.

01:32I'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've ever dreamed of,

02:13I'm the player who has lost the most opportunities because of injuries of all my direct rivals.

02:31With Roger, what he has is almost impossible to repeat, so I'm happy with what I have.

02:37Compared with 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, so that's it.

03:52The only thing that I can say is belief in the anti-doping control and belief in the values of the sport in general.

04:01Outside 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.

04:31Does it help you? What does it mean for you?

04:51It's something that is difficult to explain, so better not.

04:56Do you have a dream title?

05:00There are many, more than I would have ever dreamed of.

05:05When the years go by, more than the rankings, what really fills you up are the victories and the titles.

05:12And today is a title, which is what really, when you finish each one's career, you have left.
