Buenos Aires, Dec 1 (NA) – Former Argentine tennis player Juan Martín del Potro remembered his farewell match, held a year ago, and thanked fans and his Serbian colleague Novak Djokovic. A year ago at the Parque Roca in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, one of the best rackets in Argentine history had his last performance before the public in an exhibition match with his friend, the Serbian star Novak Djokovic. On Monday, del Potro recalled his farewell on social media with heartfelt words: 'A year ago, a day I will never forget... Thank you to each of you who were there in such a special moment.' In the video that accompanies the post on his networks, the Tandil tennis player spoke at this farewell and stated that 'even though I cry, I promise you I'm leaving happy. Thank you all for the affection in the stands, at home, in every message, and thank you Nole (Djokovic) for being present and for being part of this journey.' On Sunday, during the Formula 1 Qatar Grand Prix – which had live coverage from the Argentine News Agency – he stated that the Serbian tennis player was not present at the Motor Racing World Championship final because 'Del Potro was more important than the event, but now, with a little more time, I can experience this incredible experience.' 'All this suffering is part of my career, but I want to enjoy this day because perhaps I will never live through something like this again,' the text reads. 'I always carry them with me.' 'I watch this video and the emotion comes over me again. Their support accompanied me every step of the way and continues to accompany me to this day. I am not sad. I love you very much.'
