Rafa Nadal took the microphone on the center court of Martin Carpena, and the whole world stopped. It was time to say goodbye, to bid farewell, to put an end to his career as a tennis player. Impossible to gather all the words (you can search for the video), but let's highlight the most emotional phrases.

"I feel privileged for the career I've had, it has been longer than I ever imagined. I can only thank all the people who have been with me over these years. For me, the most important thing in the world is to have been a good person, I hope you have perceived it that way. I'm leaving professional tennis having found many friends along the way, but I leave with the peace of mind of having left a sports and personal legacy. If it hadn't been like that, I'm sure the affection I receive from around the world wouldn't be the same," expressed the Balearic in this last Copa Davis.
