Nadal: "I need time".
As he draws to a close his professional career in a few weeks' time, during the Davis Cup finals, Rafael Nadal was asked about the famous aftermath.
Asked what he plans to do after his career, the Majorcan shrugged it off, explaining that he needs time: "It's going to be a big change in my life.
I need time to decide what I want to do in the future. Since I was a child, I've lived like a professional athlete.
Now I'm concentrating on preparing for the Davis Cup and enjoying these last few months as a professional. I'm going to prepare myself to be competitive.
After that, I don't want to put any pressure on myself and I'll just need time to reflect."
