"Now we're just happy for what we've achieved, we all achieved our dreams in the end, we all achieved our dreams of becoming tennis players, we gave our best in the most important stages of our careers, I think we have built an amazing competitive relationship, but at the same time we have achieved it in a beautiful way, showing the world that we give our best and that we are good partners and respect each other," Nadal said. ”

Nadal said it was a big deal to be back at Roland Garros, "You guys gave me some very difficult moments on the pitch, but I really enjoyed pushing myself to my limits every day and competing with you, we sometimes feel like it's more than that, but in the end we understand it's really just a game. ”
