I enjoyed it a lot being a rival, being a good colleague on the tour. I think we shared and spent some good moments together. I just want to congratulate you for everything you've achieved. Your dream of becoming one of the best players in the world. The best, at some moments, and doing amazing things for the world of tennis. Just wish you sincerely all the very best in your future with the family, have fun, and I hope to keep in touch and see you around very often. All the best, my friend."
