Albert Costa Quotations

It's tough because I'm 30. Motivations are weaker. I have my knee, which hurts. You play week after week, for several reasons you become weaker and unsure. You lose confidence.

You start to think completely differently with kids. It's tougher, for sure, when they are babies to play tennis, but it's easier when they get older,

I didn't cry, but I'm sure I will when I'm alone with my wife.

Maybe the situation has changed because I'm playing at my worst level now. I saw him many times and I think he's playing much better now.

It'll be a very difficult. We've played each other a lot. I've beat him; he's beat me. But he's in better form than I am. I'll go out with nothing to lose and under no pressure.

I want to say goodbye here in my club, with my people.

But I am fine with the captain's decision and I have absolutely no doubts in the strengths of Feliciano and Fernando.

I'm not sure exactly what the problem is. We will wait and see how it progresses.

For me it is very special to be here to play my final tournament here. It is very emotional for me and it was very difficult for me to take this decision to retire, but it is now time for me to say goodbye.

Today was really, really difficult. I just confined my rhythm and he was much more confident with the wind, for sure.
