At the end of 2023, Bernabé Zapata confessed that he had lost motivation to play tennis: "I didn't want to take a plane." But now, with more perspective, the Spaniard sits down with Carlos Calderón on Llamada a Pista to reveal all the most interesting details of his career, including that depression: "I didn't want to leave my house, I didn't want to go train. Little by little, I began to fall into a state of depression, but at the time, I was not aware of what it was."

The Spanish player reveals how his tennis career began, a sport he started thanks to his older brother, whom he followed as an example. Bernabé discloses how he made the leap to the professional level coming from a humble family that couldn't afford large expenses, and how he managed those initial prizes that came after those first significant victories in his career, including the turning point after which he no longer had to endure financial problems.

Zapata's most special moment in his career

"Hopefully I will have many more victories and better moments than those I have already experienced, but always for me, that Roland Garros where I reached the fourth round will always be the most special moment. I came from the qualifying rounds. It was the culmination of everything I lived through, without a doubt, it will always be the most special moment of my career," Bernabé recalled about that Roland Garros from the 2022 season in which he surprised the world.
