They say the training lasted 1 hour.
“Now another phase comes, which is the one of starting little by little, of going day by day, of having the patience to find the right moment when all is well, when my body will be ready to compete again”.
About retirement rumours: “I don’t feel either with the age to do it, nor my injury in any moment has been such as to retire anyone”.
About possible conflicts in the DC team: “Among players and teammates there can never be a polemic when we all get along very well. No, I think everything possible was done and I just congratulate them for the great work they've done”.
What he posted under the video (for English speaking fans, evidently":
"I think I am feeling better, the knee is improving the right way and I am happy to be on court another time after a few months outside.
I am just enjoying the feeling to be playing tennis another time and, well, it will be another period of my recovery.
I start very slow and I go day by day. I will work hard in my comeback and hopefully the knee will be ready soon.
Always you have to be careful. A few months outside of competition the body has to re-adapt everything on court and all the muscles need to start very slow.
Every day is better otherwise I wouldn't be on the court.
The images say the evolution has been favorable and that is reason for satisfaction after many months of working and waiting.
It is now another phase where I´m starting little by little and going day by day with patience to find the right moment when all is well and my body will be ready to compete and when my knee is ready."
