The difficult part was to tell the world that I was finishing.
I was a very shy and introverted person, and it was hard for me to talk to people and make relationships.
I carried through well with my tennis. I got the respect by usage of the tennis racket.
I want children, but at the moment the liberty I have now finally, has a far too high value.
When I got to match point in the final I was afraid I'd be a little nervous, but I just said, You have to stay focused, just think about what you have to do.
It was so easy to play tennis, so easy.
Tennis has had a very positive impact on my life.
It came so soon and so fast. It's just overwhelming. Every time I think about it, I just can't believe it.
I lost more then 6 kilograms when I ceased with the top sport. That were all muscles. They are now gone.
I was feeling a lot of confidence, so I wanted to take advantage of that and keep playing.
It's a great moment for Argentinean tennis, more on the men's side. I would like to see more on the women's side. I think we have to work a little bit more on that.
I played Mary Joe Fernandez in the semifinals. She was winning the first set. Second set was very close. I started to play this aggressive game. I think I surprised them.
I was formerly so stuck into plans. I can now live more spontaneously. This I want not yet to give away.
I didn't know what was going through my mind.
Now I have the bravery to do fine things.
Regarding the Hall of Fame, when they decided I was going to be one of the possible candidates, when I heard that, I was so thrilled. You're always hoping for something like that.
I think in the lifetime of a tennis player there are many times where you feel that tremendous confidence.
For me retiring wasn't hard once I knew that that was the decision I was going to make.
