“Finally, we tried to establish as logical as possible, that is, after Roland Garros.

I had some stress because I wanted everything to go well and I always looked at my wife to see if it is good or if I need my help with something“, Alejandro recalled.
“It was a lot of work. I mean, she worked more, but I was in the shadow too!”
