It will also show how life and my activity with sports have evolved over the years. I am sure that the final product, the docu-film, will be incredible and will be seen all over the world.

“I am privileged to have received the affection of the whole world but especially of the Spanish. It is never easy to stop, I still love tennis to death but I can no longer be competitive. My body does not allow me to do so anymore. I hug my family and all my friends. During the twenty years as a professional I have always had the people I loved close to me. I did not think I could have such a successful career. My family taught me manners and helped me to always keep my feet on the ground. Of course they will remember me for the tournaments I won, but I care more about being remembered as a good person,” mentioned Nadal actually on the 2024 version of the Davis Cup Finals.
