Rafael Nadal: "I don’t know what’s going to happen after this Roland Garros. I am very clear about that, I am old enough to not hide such things" The Spaniard talked to the press following his 6-2, 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 win against Novak Djokovic in a quarterfinal of Roland Garros "The crowd have been amazing since the beginning of the tournament. I think probably they know that I not going to be here for many more times (smiling). The feeling about playing in the most important place and the most special place personally in my tennis career, I feel the support of all the crowd is just something very difficult to describe. So just can't thank enough everyone here in Paris for making me feel that way. It has been one of these unforgettable nights. So thank you very much, everyone. I become emotional because, of course, the last three months and a half for me, the only thing that I can say is haven't been easy. So that's it. That's it. Not going to talk about all the things I went through the last couple of months anymore now because I have to keep going, but of course haven't been a fun three months. All the things that happened to me especially, but the rest of the team help me to keep going, no, makes this match more special, without a doubt. In the end it has been a very emotional night for me. I am still playing for nights like today. But is just a quarterfinals match. So I didn't win anything. So I just give myself a chance to be back on court in two days, play another semifinals here in Roland Garros means a lot to me. If I am not playing good or if I am losing in that semifinals match, not going to be because I'm not going to be focused on that semifinals match, no? I have experience on that. I am not the kind of guy and player that emotionally goes high and low. I am very stable, I think, emotionally. Is the moment to enjoy today, because have been a beautiful night for me, without a doubt. Very emotional one. But tomorrow going to start thinking about things that I need to do to be ready for that semifinals, no? The main goal is be focused on all the level that I have been playing today. What can I say about my physical conditions? I told you that in Rome that I going to have my doctor here with me, that having the doctor here you can do things that helps. So it's not the moment to talk about that. I said that we are going to talk about that after the tournament when my tournament finish. I am putting everything that I have to try to play this tournament with the best conditions possible. I don't know what can happen after, honestly, but here I think I am going to be fine. Could this be my last Roland Garros? Yes, I can't say another thing. I am very clear about that. As I said, I am old enough to not hide things or come here and say something that I don't believe. No, I don't know what can happen. I think, as I said before, I'm gonna be playing this tournament because we are doing the things to be ready to play this tournament, but I don't know what's going to happen after. I mean, I have what I have there in the foot, so if we are not able to find an improvement or a small solution on that, then it's becoming super difficult for me, no. So that's it. I am just enjoying every day that I have the chance to be here, and without thinking much about what can happen on the future, no. Of course I'm gonna keep fighting to find a solution for that, but for the moment, we haven't (smiling). So I just give myself a chance to play another semifinals here at Roland Garros and it gives a lot of energy for me".
