When Ferran came to pick up his dog again two days later, he cut things short and just thanked me before disappearing again, which left me a bit surprised. He did send me some basic flowers the next day with a simple Thank you-note but no more sign of life came from him. Some part in me had hoped for an apology or even an attempt to talk things out, but nothing, which made me really sad.

Even Carlitos noticed - and I really didn't show too many feelings towards him - but it was enough for him to invite me to the ATP Finals in Turin and I accepted, hoping that it would lift my mood somehow. I took a week off from work and jetted to Italy, where I explored the city, did a day trip to Milan and followed Carlitos' tennis matches.

Unfortunately, Carlos lost in the semi-finals against Djokovic and I had returned back to Barcelona and to work, when I received a very unexpected message.

Hi Pedri & thanks for the invite!
I'll let you know my answer asap 🙂



Of course Ferran would be there, question was if I should bring along Carlos. He was free, I knew he wasn't playing any tournament, but I didn't know if it would be unnecessary to rub it in Ferran's face any more than needed. Pictures of us were all over the internet anyways and he had definitely seen them. But on the other hand, I really wanted to attend and going alone would be a shitty move towards Carlitos because he had always brought me along to parties and stuff he was invited to and I wanted to respect him and that fact too.
