"You gave me some hard times on court but I really enjoyed a lot pushing myself to the limit every single day to compete with all of you," Nadal said.
"At the end, tennis is just a game. Sometimes we feel it's a little bit more but I think we understand it's really only a game.
"So that means [everything] for me that all of you are here. That's a great message to the world that we can be good friends even if we had the best rivalries. Thank you very, very much for everything during all these years."
An era that seemed like it would last forever. At least the memories will.
