"I am very happy that I can say that I almost compete with three generations of players. I used to compete with Moya, Ferrero, Safin... and the Big Three, with many beautiful memories, and And I also have the opportunity to play against Yanick (Sina) and Carlos (Alcalas), and it is really hard to beat these players, but I am still happy about it because it will be something I remember for a lifetime. When I look back at my career, I have good memories, but this page is about to turn over. I will soon be 38 years old and I have a beautiful family. "
