01:51But before we hear from Rafa, I want to say something special on behalf of the Academy.

02:07Just hearing Morgan Freeman's poetic tribute, I believe that those lines reflect the very

02:12essence of you as a supreme competitor.

02:15You are such an inspiration to so many people across the globe.

02:19Plus, you also brought the coolness to the sport of tennis with your shorts.

02:24As the years have passed, we have become more and more proud of you and proud that you represent

02:29the best that there is.

02:31And this is embodied in both your close family and your foundation.

02:35So we've all been on this journey with you, Rafa, and we want to thank you for being the

02:39kind of a sporting hero, iconic to all of us.

02:49Well, good evening, everyone.

02:53Thank you, Edwin.

02:54Thank you, Simone.

02:55Thank you for the kind words.

02:56Well, I don't know how to start, honestly.

03:00No, I didn't prepare for this amazing moment talking in front of all of you.

03:07But a lot of you have been sports people that inspired since I was a kid.

03:15And having the chance to talk in front of you today is something very, very special.

03:21I want to start being very thankful to the Laureus Academy for thinking that I really deserve

03:30this amazing award.

03:32Thank you very much.

03:32Thank you at the same time to Mr. Rupert for believing of the power of sport and putting

03:46together all this amazing effort that the Laureus Academy is doing in a diary basis to change

03:56the destinies of a lot of people that they didn't have the opportunities that me or a lot of people

04:03in this room had.

04:06So thank you very much for this amazing job that you are doing, Laureus.

04:11Sorry, now I want to continue in Spain.

04:19We are in Spain, so forgive me, some of you.

04:23But quiero continuar diciendo que para mí, pues después de 25 años de carrera, porque realmente

04:32mi carrera profesional no empieza cuando estoy en el circuito por primera vez, no empieza

04:38prácticamente cuando tengo unos 10 años, que es cuando empiezo a entrenar de manera profesional.

04:46Sinceramente ha sido un viaje inolvidable, precioso, donde gracias al deporte he vivido cosas

04:53que jamás hubiera podido imaginar.

04:55Sinceramente solo puedo dar gracias al mundo del tenis por todo lo que me ha dado durante

05:00estos años que han sido inolvidables.

05:03Sin ninguna duda, sin mi equipo, sin mi familia que han estado conmigo desde el comienzo, nada

05:10de esto hubiera sido posible.

05:12Han estado conmigo en los momentos buenos sin ninguna duda, pero en los malos que también

05:19ha habido, con lesiones, con momentos que no ves salida de algunas situaciones, pues han

05:24estado siempre aquí a mi lado, apoyándome en todos los sentidos y gracias a ellos, pues

05:30puedo decir que he tenido una carrera muchísimo más exitosa y larga de lo que jamás hubiera

05:35podido soñar.

05:36O sea que muchísimas gracias a todos vosotros y a muchos otros que no estáis aquí.

05:39I want to keep going, congratulating the rest of the awards.

05:54Congrats for Simone, rest of you for amazing careers.

05:58Wishing you the best of luck in the future, the ones that keep competing.

06:02Enjoy the moment because the professional careers are short.

06:08But just try hard, enjoy, and appreciate every single moment that you have the chance to

06:13enjoy this beautiful world of sport.

06:18Keep going.

06:18And, por último, quiero dar las gracias a Madrid, gracias por ser siempre un referente

06:31y apoyar al mundo del deporte en todos los sentidos.

06:35Os habéis convertido en la capital mundial del deporte y, sinceramente, creo que todos los

06:40deportistas tenemos que estar muy agradecidos a la Comunidad de Madrid por apoyarnos de la

06:45manera que lo hacéis siempre.

06:46Muchísimas gracias por seguir creyendo en que el deporte es la mejor manera de promocionar

06:54Madrid, pero no solo eso.

06:55Es una forma de vivir a través del deporte.

06:58Creo que se puede educar a los jóvenes de una mejor manera y hacerlos crecer con unos valores

07:04que les van a ayudar de manera definitiva en su vida próxima.

07:08O sea que muchísimas gracias a todos.

07:10Thank you very much everyone for making this night so special for me.

07:13and thanks to Laurius for this amazing work.

07:17Have a good night.
