First, I want to thank His Excellency and the entire CELA team for organizing this incredible event.

Past simple

Thank you for inviting us quite often now.

It's been less than a year I've been twice here in Riyadh playing tennis in front of one of the most passionate crowds, really amazing crowd.

Thank you all so much for coming every single match in big numbers and really showing your appreciation, respect and support for this sport, for all the players.

I'll go back to the very first match that we played against each other back in 2005, I think it was.

Who would know that we are standing here almost 20 years later with more than 60 times that we face each other on the biggest stage in this sport.

You know, the rivalry has been incredible, really, and has been very intense.

So I hope that we'll have a chance to maybe sit on the beach somewhere and have a little drink, reflecting on life, talking about something else, you know, and I would like to congratulate all your team and all your family on an amazing career that Rafa had.

I know how much sacrifice family has to put into the career and the life of a professional tennis player.

I can only imagine the highs and lows that you were going through with him.

So you deserve this success as much as he does.

I could speak all night, but I don't want to take away too much time.

But once again, it's been an incredible honor, as I told you at the net.

Incredible pleasure to share the court with you.

And you know, it's quite an emotional moment, you know, emotional day.

You know, we've been playing so many matches over so many years.

Yeah, I will finish with one big thank you from not just me, but all of the tennis world for what you have done.

 You left incredible legacy and mark, and we really appreciate it.
