Finally, Spanish tennis player said he had failed to give up despite the damage.
I didn't ask the physical therapist if I should quit the game because I know my body. I'm old enough to make my own decisions. I didn't want to give up because I defended the title. What I did was try to keep going without further hurting myself. But I barely ran”, he explained. I can't say I'm not mentally broken because I'm gonna lie. I can come in here and say I'm going positively, but I'm not gonna do this right now. It's a tough day and I admit it because we have to keep going. At the sports level, the cup is packed”, he said, speaking of damage.
