Nadal on Federer's Davis Cup appearance: "I think he's got a busy schedule".
In a press conference ahead of the Davis Cup quarter-final between Spain and the Netherlands, Rafael Nadal spoke about a number of topics ahead of his forthcoming retirement.
In particular, he was asked about Roger Federer.
Indeed, the Swiss didn't reveal whether he would be coming to Malaga this week, unlike, for example, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray: "I haven't spoken to Roger. I think he's got a busy schedule.
This will be my last week on the professional circuit, but I don't think it will be my last goodbye.
So there will be other opportunities to do something."
