This was Bautista's emotional farewell from Madrid: "Here I lived the best moment of my career"
Roberto Bautista said goodbye to the Magic Box today after losing to Thiago Tirante in his debut at the Mutua Madrid Open 2026. In his final season as a professional, Madrid deserved a memorable chapter, especially considering the place where he became Davis Cup champion just hours after losing his father. With that memory and visibly emotional, Rober left a heartfelt message to the Madrid audience, highlighting the role tennis has had in his value system and remembering that feat of 2019. Goosebumps.
Impossible not to be moved 😢
