David Ferrer shares his only regret about tennis career
David Ferrer has one regret looking back at his career. The former world No. 3 always gave his best week by week and he always stood out for his humility. But in an interview to ABC, he confessed: "I regret not to have enjoyed the wins more. I was so focused and I had so much ambition that influenced me. Those free moments would have made me better. The tennis goes very quick. You win a tournament and the following day you are playing another. You win the number and you could lose against anyone on any day... In tennis you have no time to taste the wins. But I was very lucky, I cannot complain."
Ferrer also added: "I will not deny I had bad moments. But when you lose, or when things do not well to you, when you are young and you are afraid, it's logical to want to be perfect. And that's good. It teaches you fall and get up, being resistent. This is what tennis gave me. In a normal life I would have never learned it, it's very special emotions. Tennis gave me peace. It teached me to appreciate myself and it also made me calm when things did not go well. Being remembered as a correct person is the best gift I can get. I am what I am. I cannot be liked to anyone for my way of playing tennis or my person, but it's normal. I was consistent, a big hard worker. Over the years my priority was tennis and I always had a lot of daily routines. I leave being calm, because I gave my best."
Ferrer had spoken highly of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic a few days ago, praising them as the best three tennis players in history. David will open his run in Acapulco against the American Tennys Sandgren on Tuesday
