Did I lose motivation after Federer and Nadal retired? Maybe so, but if I’m not motivated, I’m not here. I don’t play anymore. I put the racquet to rest. I still feel the desire to play; the passion to compete is always there. I hope to push harder.
He spoke about his motivation ahead of the Masters tournament in Madrid, which he has won three times in his career.
