00:00Good evening, good evening everyone. Thank you. Thank you very much. First and foremost, of course, congratulations, Carlos, an amazing tournament, amazing couple of weeks to your coach, to your family, to your team.
00:30What you've been doing, I think the best word to describe it is historic, legendary. So congratulations and I wish you the best of luck for the rest of your career. I mean, you're so young, you have a lot of time, like myself. So I'm sure we'll be seeing each other many more times in the next 10 years.
00:53Well, then I have to obviously thank my team for enduring me, first of all, and for giving me support. It hasn't been, you know, smooth sailing, as it never is.
01:20But you guys are my rock in my corner and, you know, you've seen the worst and the best of me in the last, who knows how many years, but particularly the last three weeks.
01:33So I want to thank you and this success is your success, of course.
01:36Then I want to speak to the legendary Rafa, who is on the stands.
01:50Just a few words, just a few words. Obviously, it feels very weird to see you there and not here, you know, but I just want to say it's been an honor to share the court with you and to have you watching the finals here.
02:16It's a first time for me and, you know, obviously, a bit of a strange feeling, but thank you for being present.
02:24The two are like Scarpa.
02:25No, no, it's that...
02:28The recognition of Rafa for being there, that it's weird to have him on the ground and not on the track.
02:34It's too many Spanish legends. It felt like I was against... two against one tonight, you know, it wasn't fair, but okay.
02:41It seems like he played two against one.
02:43I...
02:43Scarletos and Rafa, right?
02:44Contra him.
02:45Yes.
02:45Uh... I had a winning speech prepared and a losing speech prepared.
02:50So let me go back to it one second.
02:54Uh...
02:55The speech of the winner and the winner.
02:57Okay.
02:58Uh... Now, I want to keep it short. This is Carlos' moment. Jokes aside, I want to just say, in the end, that you guys, particularly the last couple of matches, gave me something that I have never experienced in Australia.
03:10That much love, support, positivity. It's been incredible.
03:26I try to... I try to give you back with good tennis over the years.
03:30This has been my, I think, 21st year, maybe 22nd year, coming to Australia.
03:37Uh, honestly, you know, I always believe in myself and I think that, uh, is something that is, uh, you know, truly needed and necessary when you're playing at this level, uh, against incredible players like Carlos and Yannick.
03:53Obviously, last three days.
03:54Uh, but I must be very honest and say that I didn't, you know, think that I would be standing in a closing ceremony of a Grand Slam once again.
04:04So, I think I owe you the gratitude as well for pushing me forward throughout the last couple of weeks.
04:11Well, even Jokovic, recognizing the difficulty of being here, that he wouldn't have imagined.
04:17And...
04:18Thanks to the audience for all the love in these last few weeks.
04:21Impecable speech.
04:22God knows, God knows what happens tomorrow, let alone in six months or 12 months, so...
04:29It has been a great ride.
04:31I love you guys.
04:33Impecable speech of Jokovic, that has commented that he has 21 years coming to Australia.
04:38And that it has been a great career, a great journey, but that you don't know what will happen in the future.
04:45I hope we see him a little more.
04:47Moment now.
04:49Thank you very much.
