Q: Carlos, you have a great match against Nadal in March. Did you have any talks with your staff already about the extent of your injury?

A: Well, I have to be ready for the match. And I will work to be ready. But I mean I don't know. Tomorrow I’ll have a test for my ankle and let's see if it's something serious or not. Both my physio and the ATP’s physio said it’s probably not too serious. But, you know, you never know. So let's see.
 
Q: Carlos, could you share with us what were your first thoughts? What happened in there and what were your first reactions after the fall?

A: I felt, I felt bad. You know, that was the first impression I had. I mean, I was I was feeling pain, you know, once I fall down, so I thought that it was going to be difficult to continueplaying if I was still having those those feelings. 
 
Q: Carlos, you still managed to get a break. Did you think it was possible to go on or did you already know that you were retiring?

A: The physio told me to continue a few games and see how I was feeling. You know, after a few points it didn't feel better. I was feeling the pain. I couldn't move well, and I knew that it was going to be impossible to continue. I thought it was going to get worse if I kept playing for such a long match and that’s why I choose to retire.
