"I think that between all of us we have achieved something important and also beautiful, not only for the collection, which today is over fourteen million, so that goal has been fully achieved, but for the camaraderie and solidarity that they have shown us" added the number two in world tennis.

For his part, Gasol thanked Nadal for proposing to him in his day to participate in an initiative that has had "a tremendous impact" and of which he was "super proud" since, in his opinion, it has provided an example of when the sport unites a response as "incredible" as that obtained by #NuestraMejorVictoria.
