00:00 It's a range of emotions.
00:03 There's, you know, of course, a lot of disappointment
00:10 with the result of my singles match today.
00:15 But at the same time, you know, a lot of gratitude as well.
00:25 You know, just to have one last time, you know,
00:32 play in an atmosphere like that.
00:35 It was very cool.
00:36 And, you know, I--
00:40 you know, that's-- as I said on the court,
00:43 that's why I work so hard.
00:45 It's hard to explain how bad my body feels.
00:52 Like, I'm not just talking right now, because yeah, it does.
00:54 But just in general lately, and so everything
00:57 I do to get it ready to play, there's a lot that goes into it.
01:03 And because I wanted, you know, one more US Open,
01:11 and was able to get that.
01:13 So it was a fun match overall.
01:19 Of course, the result is disappointing.
01:24 But I'm proud of what I've achieved in my career.
01:29 Yeah, I mean, I--
01:33 you know, on the court, I like to think
01:38 I'm a good competitor.
01:39 I might not win every match, that's for sure.
01:42 And I might lose a lot of close matches.
01:45 I might get tight and choke a little bit on the court.
01:53 But you know, that happens.
01:55 But of course, I care.
01:57 You know, I love this sport, for sure.
02:02 And you know, I want to be remembered as someone who,
02:10 you know, competed pretty hard on the court.
02:16 I think I did that.
02:17 So-- but off the court, I think it's most important,
02:24 you know, within the locker room to have
02:28 the respect of my colleagues in the locker room.
02:32 And I think I have that, you know,
02:37 judging from how many people have spoken to me.
02:41 So you know, but tennis is--
02:47 it's been a huge part of my life.
03:02 So it's tough to say goodbye.
03:05 It's not easy.
03:10 But eventually, this day would come.
03:16 You can't really-- it's hard to prepare for the emotions of it.
03:20 But most importantly, you know, man,
03:28 I have an amazing life, for sure.
03:33 So I look forward to every second of that going forward.
