I'm happy to be here.
00:21.6
In the end, there are many and very good memories of this tournament.
00:28.1
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to be here for the last few years and here I am, luckily.
00:33.8
I was able to come here because of a decision at the last minute and I tried it.
00:39.8
The truth is that I hadn't been here before because I didn't know what to say, if I was going to play or not.
00:45.8
But I think that as far as the week goes, it has been a positive week of training and tomorrow I will be on the court.
00:58.1
I can't give you an injury update because the list is long and I just want to think about what can happen.
01:19.8
I can only tell you that today I feel myself good enough to be here.
01:28.1
To be on the court tomorrow and that for me is so important.
01:31.1
It means a lot to me to be able to play one more time here in Barcelona,
01:35.1
in a place that I had an amazing success and a lot of unforgettable memories.
01:42.1
So just trying to enjoy every moment and I am excited about being on the court in a professional tournament again tomorrow and especially here at home.
01:58.1
What do you think about the future of your career?
02:03.1
What happens is whether I can do it or not. It's not another question.
02:09.1
It's been two difficult years. I came from an important hip surgery that took me a year to recover.
02:20.1
So when that happens, it's difficult.
02:23.1
Things happen in the body and they haven't allowed me to follow my calendar
02:27.1
as I would have liked.
02:29.1
So I am accepting the situations.
02:32.1
When you can do it, you can do it. When you can't, you can't do it.
02:34.1
And no matter how hard it is for me to lose, depending on the type of tournament,
02:40.1
that's what it is. There is no balance.
02:42.1
All the good things that have happened to me throughout my life.
02:46.1
And at this point in my career, unfortunately or not, I am in another situation.
02:57.1
What do you think about the future of your career?
03:03.1
I don't know what can happen in the future.
03:05.1
But today, I take it as my last participation here at Godot.
03:12.1
This is my current feeling and I will try to enjoy it in the best way I can
03:17.1
and without giving up on being competitive.
03:19.1
That's not why I am going out here to do a tribute.
03:22.1
I will try to do my best to get opportunities.
03:27.1
I think the week of training has been positive.
03:30.1
I will go out for everything. We will see what happens.
03:43.1
For me, it is already a gift to be in Barcelona.
03:45.1
I take it as my last year.
03:51.1
That's how I take it and I want to try to enjoy every moment.
03:54.1
For me, all of that,
03:56.1
it has a more special meaning.
04:01.1
And the fact that, as I currently have this feeling,
04:05.1
not being able to be in Monte Carlo last week, it hurt me.
04:08.1
But luckily, things have improved for this week.
04:12.1
And I feel ready enough to go out and play tomorrow.
04:16.1
Without thinking about anything else.
04:18.1
Without thinking about how I will get there or not.
04:21.1
I am aware of the situation.
04:26.1
I am going to play with him.
