Djokovic Unmasked

the number four seed Meritt saffin of Russia against a qualifier Novak jovic of Serbia and Montenegro accompanied in his big moment by Paul mcnam there will be some butterflies in his stomach lak jovic makes his entrance at the Rod laor Arena at only 17 years old What a moment to him in 2005. I remember I qualified and played against Marat. I dyed some of my hair especially for that game. It was my first time on center court, so I enjoyed it. I didn't spend much time on the court. I lost to the eventual champion in straight sets very comfortably, but I still enjoyed my time.

It was a match that, you know, gave me a lot of experience and served me well for the rest of my career here and is 6 6 61 as complete as In 1 hour and 14 minutes, the number four seed barely breaks a sweat and says well done to the young man and that in his first outing in the big moment he will return. I am the type of person who likes to make things look perfect and not only in tennis, some other things I want to win and that is what it means Mar, you have this great match against Roia Federo, any basic, Roger is the number one in the world, uh, almost unbeatable.

I know I just lost the four or five games last year and, you know, I'm just going to play, play the best I can and try to be aggressive and try to win another critical performance from W. It only takes 1 hour and 50 minutes. I made it to the quarterfinals in Melbourne without losing a single set. The young Syvia BS came out of the master's hands. He knew it was going to get tough at times and that's what happened in the second set, and especially against young players, you know, who win. many opportunities that are new to whom I don't know very well a suitable way to end it is the perfect t for Roger the emotion overcomes him as he takes his tenth Grand Slam champion and is third in Australia no questions for the col.

Lon H TS, do you feel the pressure when you read quotes like he can be the future number one and Andy Murray can be the new people on the block? Do you feel that? Do you think of yourself when you hear those comments? First of all, it's very, very flattering, you know, it makes you smile, besides the victory in the straight, today I get another experience, a good experience that will help me in the future, yes, he is a much better player than 12 months ago, believe. when he lost Roger here last year, um, and yeah, he has a great all-around game, usually at this stage we're talking about Roger being on name, as long as everyone else has the story, this is good, yeah, you know, the players start to start. feel like he is beatable and of course no one is invincible, but he was very, very dominant.

I have absolutely no problem with what he has been saying or apparently has been saying and I really don't care because he cares about his game. I care about mine and he is good. when they play with each other, the family can hardly believe it. Jovic can believe it. He has been telling everyone that he will arrive at this time. Listen to the IIs as the champion says goodbye. I'm looking forward to playing my best tennis against Noak jich. I look forward to it. to play to win, you know, and that's my way of thinking. He's been the number one player in the world for a while and the players, you know, started playing in a different way against him, you know, with more confidence that they can win.

It's a good thing, it's a good thing, good for all of us and your thoughts on Jakovic's presence tomorrow at I don't know, he won yesterday he played well, it's never easy to beat Federer and we'll play tomorrow in the final and it's going to be a great sporting moment For the first time, Novak Jovic is a Grand Slam champion after a magnificent final against a brave opponent, two young people who refreshed this Australian Open until the end of the second Sunday night. the title goes to Serbia jovic wins in four. I am very, very happy to have won my first Grand Slam here, so I hope to see you here at this stage more often in the future.

Thank you so much and the crowd really got excited. match and, you know, it was a big relief when I won the last point, it was like a dream. All the childhood memories and growing up playing tennis came back to me and, uh, you know, I won the big SL. I'll be here here here with you, you know, I've never had the role of defending champion in any Grand Slam, so it's a new experience, but it's a challenge. I keep playing thinking that something could help me, maybe treatment and things like that. but I kept coming back, you know, I looked and I was confused because I thought it was a time-out injury and I saw a cramp in the neck and one arm, but I guess cramps are a condition, you know, obviously there's some wiggle room and a bit.

There's a little bit of a gray area there, well, I mean, it's happened before, so he's not the guy who has never given up on his career, you know, so it's a little disappointing to see, you know, when you have two top guys playing with each other and you. give up, it's another five epic sets from the two best players in the world Raphael Nadal wins in Melbourne at the Australian Open for the first time Joe wire zonga is in the last four in Melbourne for the second time in his career I don't want to find excuses for myself defeat, but you know I went to war and had diarrhea before the game and you know that's a bad way to not physically be able to get through the whole game.

Swe 16 for Roger for the fourth time Roger Feda will wear the crown in Melbourne, Australia. Well, I mean, he's incredible, Roger, obviously, and to me, the guy is the greatest player who ever lived. I'm always up for some side activities, you know, and this is obviously. It's great to meet her and learn some moves, dance moves and of course don't think about tennis, you know it's a long tournament, it's two weeks, you know, dedication every day, you're on the practice court, we're on the practice court right now, but you know, just for fun, so it's good, you're ready.

I definitely feel more comfortable with the ret in my hand just hitting the ball, but this is something new I've done and it's a lot of fun. Do you have any experience? and dance before, uh, actually, I did it once a couple of years ago, Walts, really, but that's it, that's another thing, yeah, this was more moves, more like it, I like this one exactly perfect, I achieved it and ended up winning this Australian tournament. here and has the four grand slams, what greater achievement do you think that would be? I mean, huge, there's only a couple of guys in the history of this port that have done that, so, he's despicably number one in the world and he'll probably be the next one to the title.

The highest fa wins the tournament, but you know there is still a long way to go. Many consider him the best player of all time. Will he add to the legend of him in Melbourne? Will a 17th Grand Slam championship be long before him? I can even contemplate that Roger fed, he has to overcome the Serbian, the man who was at the top of the m in 2008, this man, Novakovic, and it looked like Novak Jovic had to win the first set that he was going to be. his best chance to win the semi-final that is exactly what he has done an extraordinary turn in just two hours Novak jovic tells Roger Federa you are going to have to do what you have done six times before in your illustrious career, but it is going to be difficult federa takes a break away from the spotlight jovic is in full Command Match Point number three a third chance to go to the big dance on sunday night three hours exactly Novak jovic is the only serb to win a grand slam title and Sunday night has the opportunity to take another step towards glory.

What a performance. Roger Feder's quest for 17th Grand Slam title ends in semi-final. Jo magnificent. I think that on the one hand it is good for the sport to have more players. to be able to win against the pen and Nadal, all the credit goes to them, what they've done in the last five six years, they've been very dominant and now these things are changing a little bit, so from that perspective, it's good for the sport after the match he said it suggested Raa was injured and now you're out, it was a bit of a passing of the torch, read thoughts on that, yeah, I mean, they say that very quickly, you know, so let's talk in six months again , yes, there are There are a lot of similarities, you know, we grew up playing together in Juniors, we have a very similar height, a similar build, obviously, very similar in Edge, so I hope that tomorrow we will be very similar in standard and that is that we grew up together and we know each other.

Since we were 12 years old we played a couple of times in juniors and a couple of times on an ATP Tour. It's going to be really interesting to play against him, you know, for a long time, but we know each other's game very, very well and it's a Grand Slam final and he's never won a Grand Slam and I think he's trying to be very motivated. to do it this time because I think he feels like he has a better chance of beating me than maybe you. He knows how to take on Roger at this stage and is one point away from doing what seemed inevitable early in the second set for the second time.

Novak Jovic climbs the mountain and reaches the summit in Melbourne, the only Serb to win a Grand Slam championship. Novak Jovic is once again the king in Australia, no I don't want to stop here, I definitely want to keep my body in healthy shape and ready for more challenges to come. 2011 was a really good year, I think he's a player. He did incredible, Noak, he had a fantastic season, one of the best seasons in tennis history. Roger Feather had a fantastic season, a little unlucky in a few games during the season. I am very happy with my season, without playing three Grand Slam finals.

Slams, finishing the year as number two in the world and winning the Grand Slam, you know, was a positive result for me and 2012 will certainly be an exciting season, one of great modern sporting rivalries that produces another epic clash. Nadal emerges on top once again and is on his way to the final in Melbourne in 2012, it is going to be Nadal against jovic or marray in my opinion Andy, if he wants to win that match, I think he has to play more aggressive than usual and that is That's my advice, but my advice is probably not that it works very well because I lost the last six times against him, the two great friends.

Hug after 4 hours and 50 minutes of the most unpredictable and incredible tennis you can imagine. Jovic will go to the final in Melbourne. Again, Raphael Nadal, a target, what can be a bigger challenge than playing against Rafa Nadal? You know, one of the best players of all time. I'm talking about the guy who's been playing so well on this court, so you never know. I mean, I'm going to try to recover and obviously he's going to be physical too, so I need to do some push-ups tonight, it's going to be a different situation for both of us and let's see, I'm going to try to play the best I can to give my best and uh, take my tennis to the next step to have my chances.

That is incredible. Jovic is down. Normally players only collapse on the court when they win the championship. His body, well, you wouldn't blame him for failing her. 31 points in the rally and the crowd just standing and applauding, they're standing here, so special, probably the hardest final, we've probably played mentally and physically, but it's been a great show, no, I, I came home with great personal satisfaction the way I played that final nothing negative to say about that match I gave my best and it was also a great final sometimes in the sport of tennis the phrase epic contest is overused, not this time when they write the history of the greatest tennis matches ever played this one has to be on the front page of the book 5 hours and 53 minutes Novak jovic is the champion in Melbourne for the third time that was simply extraordinary yes, it was a remarkable match It was the most I played in my career and it was just an incredible occasion, you know, playing almost 6 hours in the Australian Open final against one of my biggest rivals, so you know, I didn't fall asleep that night until 8:00 a.m. . m., so yeah, it was probably the best game I played, the most exciting.

I'm at the top. Can I participate with you? Sure, sure, given how the discussion has been in recent years about what great effectiveness, Nadal and the fedas and now the mures have had and he has reached the top. In a way, it's logical to expect that the top four players will always be the main contenders to win the trophy and then it's uh, but I never want to underestimate the rest of the field, the rest of the players, especially the one in the top 10, in the top 15 and was just a few points away from losing the match against Vinka in the fourth round here, so I mean that says it says enough about the competitiveness of the sport, you might know that it is possible for them to make a breakthrough to win against the best in important events.

I guess the first four are the most dominant in the last 5. For years, one thing I can say is that I try to enjoy what I do and every moment of life I have is a blessing. You know, there are so many professional athletes and tennis players around the world because it's a great experience. world sport who want to be the best at what they do, they want to be successful and many of them in the end do not achieve it, so I am lucky to have this opportunity and to be successful I feel it when I go On the court I have less to lose and more what to win.

You know, sometimes you know when I played the final. Here I just felt that going in I had a lot to lose, it really wasn't the right attitude to have in thematches, so you know, I think now you know mentally or I'll go in with a better attitude and hopefully play better he's about to do something that no one has done in the open era Novak Jovic heads another page in the proud history of the Australian Open Championships he does it for the fourth time and becomes the first man in the open era to do it three times in a row W first of all, obviously I would like to congratulate Novak, I mean his record here is obviously incredible, very few people They've managed to do what he's done here, so you know he's a well-deserved and well-done champion again. and no one has their name engraved three times in a row a great achievement by a great player I'm full of joy right now and um uh it's going to give me a lot of confidence for the rest of the season that's for sure every The tournament, especially the main tournament, It's very special.

I'm aware of the fact that it was an incredible journey for me, you know, being a ten professional player and also being mentioned in the history aspect, you know, and winning three. in a row is a big achievement, so I'm always motivated in every match I play, I mean, but of course Grand Slam finals always bring something new, something special for each player and that's where you want to perform. your best Stan Vinka equals his best Grand Slam performance and goes to the semi-finals in Melbourne in 2014 the defending champion retires there is nothing I can say, you know, I gave my best, I gave it my all, I tried, you know I tried, you know, to fight until the last point like I did in a very similar match that we had last year in the fourth round on the same court, but it couldn't be this time after a final that was dramatic, strange and disconcerting.

It ends well for Stan, he is the man in Melbourne, the 2014 Australian Open champion. The Australian Open has always been the great tournament of my career, the first Grand Slam that I won in 2008 and that opened many doors for me and It allowed me to have that confidence and the necessary belief that I can, I can still continue doing it and I can challenge the best players in the world, so I love coming back. I have great memories of Rod L Arena and hope to have another great tournament here. Being in the final four here is because I'm surrounded by guys like Roger Novak and Rafa doesn't seem like a big deal, but that doesn't happen that often, so I'm really proud of it. that this is the match you've been working for for two months and this is where you want to be, that's why you put in all these hours on and off the court and try to be in a position to win the Grand Slam trophy. because that's the most important thing and I'm going to do my best, of course all I can do is do my best and if it's good enough, if not I literally couldn't have done anything else to put myself in a position. best position come, come Sunday jovic wins again wins a fifth Australian Open Championship an eighth Grand Slam title is in Elite company jovic throws the record into the stands congratulated by Boris Becker and the rest of his team and isn't it great that we have Roy Emerson and Novak here tonight, the two men who in over 100 years of Australian championships have won more titles than anyone else on the same stage tonight, his first major as a father.

Novak jokovic, he's great. I love my time here and winning. The eighth Grand Slam title and being mentioned in the Elite group of Legends of our sport is a great privilege and honor. You know, I can't say how proud I am and that will definitely serve as a big big. Great inspiration for the rest of my career. It has been 10 incredible years of tennis, the sport I love. I've been trying to appreciate every tournament, every moment I spend on the court because you know it's something I work on. because you know, being on these courts to play in front of the crowd and compete.

You know, I love sports. Jovic is the big spoiler of the story. Yeah, you know, we've seen this before we get psyched for Phaedrus to win another one. Wimbledon title or another US Open title and jovic is much better clinical and ruins the story but you have to take your hat off. the arms of him and it just shows that Fedra had to be absolutely better just to stay with Jovic there is a little smile there it is a smile from Ruul it is a kind of regret, I couldn't do better every time I come back to this tournament.

I enter the Road Work Arena. I have this beautiful memory from 2008 and of course over the years I have been playing some of my best tennis in this tournament and I hope I can continue what I did. Noak that what Che nov jovic now serves for the championship six points to three in the tie break of the third set the crowd is silent again and again Novak takes his time while preparing he takes the eight sixes of the best of the NOC doovic wins here in big sets, he continues to dominate this C, he continues to dominate the men's ten.

I feel like I've been here before. First of all, I would like to congratulate Novak. Six Australian Opens is an incredible feat and also for what he has done. last year, so it's been incredible consistency and, yeah, I just want to say: Congratulations to him and his entire team and he continues to be at the top of men's tennis. He is setting new markers all the time. Every tennis match is a blank canvas. and this is Dennis' masterpiece, Novak, saying the incredible words and certainly someone said at the beginning of the year, hey, you're going to beat Novak at the Australian Open, now what would you say to this?

I would say you are crazy. or what I am not used to losing at the Australian Open in the second round. I mean, I've always played so well for the last 10 years. I've been, you know, I've won six titles here and you know it's disappointing. but at the end of the day, I have to accept it, that's why we love live sports, you know, that's why we watch it, that's why people come to the stadium, people watch it, you just don't know the outcome despite the odds. they are crazy in favor of someone, there is always a chance of surprise and that is why I am a big fan of sports, well viig Tre for the federation, he is champion in Australia for the fifth time and is the 18th greatest number for the mro Swiss and fulfill the big stage against Rafa, that is his greatest victory.

I've never missed a Grand Slam in my professional career, so it was a little strange. I have to say that I am very excited to get back on the court and compete. Match Point Jovic serves back and returns from Chung foran jovic Chung makes good ground towards his cross foran jovic tips his one back a cut from Chung and then retreats to his baseline jovic misses his backhand and Chun has beaten the former champion there will be headlines of a generational change This is a groundbreaking performance from Hion Chung at least. I wanted to challenge him to win it without me giving it to him and that's what he's done, so yeah, I don't know what he's going to do, but of course he's going to fight. for the most important things, he's too good not to fight for it, he's hit a sensational six for Federate in Australia, it's been a long break, unfortunately a forced break due to injury, you know, the expectations are there, I think too partly because I've had a great record here in Australia, but I've also managed to win, you know, most of the tournaments around the world and the biggest ones, and I've been in, you know, situations where uh. where I've been lifting the trophy for this tournament six times before, so you know, that gives me enough reason to believe that, um, I can do it again.

Guys like that, it's the same for Rafa and Roger, I mean, they all want to do it. win and especially Novak and sometimes the final is not good enough, especially the Grand Slam finals, no one will remind you how many finals you played, they will remember how many titles you have, jovic knocks down pu has his eyes on a bigger prize and the teacher tells him to the apprentice It's not your time yet, it's also a race, in a way, you know, and who is going to improve the most, who will stay the most. I guess he is determined to be the best player in the world, he is my greatest.

Rival, you know, in my career I have played so many matches against him, epic matches on this court, on many occasions we meet in the important stages, so, yes, we have been special, yes, he, he is an incredible competitor. These are matches where you live for the Slam finals playing against the biggest rival at their best game, it's just a game of tennis and the only way to have a chance to beat a player like Novak is. playing at the best level you have has been an annihilation tonight there is no other word I am aware that making history you know about the sport that I really love is something special and of course I am motivated by Jovic's journey ending with a substantial victory over one of his greats rivals and enters the record books with a historic seventh Australian Open title.

Well, no one can argue that he is not the best player in the world right now. I'm not saying they destroyed me. I've been playing against a player who was at the highest possible level in my opinion and I think playing like that it's hard to win what's your favorite part of celebrating a big title. It's just a huge relief, first of all, you know? I think you know we all go through it differently, but you know one thing that I think we all share in common is the tensions, the pressure, the expectations and all these things and situations that you go through.

My favorite part about winning is seeing my family and sharing this trophy with him and that is for me the favorite part that we are playing in difficult times, we young players always have to beat all these incredible Legends, yeah well Novak He is part of three guys who are, by far, the best. The players who play 10 are and if you play a Grand Slam final against them, I mean, it will always be a match where very small details decide to beat the best, you have to beat the best and that is what we and everyone within the team. stadium I have come to witness wow well right now jovic has to do something different he has everything working love flows to the team tennis two sets to one to the oyster I definitely didn't feel good and I didn't know what the next moment would bring it's something for which you have to accept that you are going through and those types of circumstances really force me to let things go and try to be in a moment and fight to come back jovic instills faith in him in his fans with a play like that and calmly as you want jovic us leads to a decisive fifth set we are going to see the agony and ecstasy etched not only on the faces of the players but also on the fans now that they absolutely believe they are going to win this is the miracle in Melbourne the jovic dynasty is still intact it is an eighth Australian Open once again he is the last man standing the first time I stepped onto the road L Arena to play a match was against Mar in 2005 so it's been 15 years um It's quite unreal that it's been that long, it was definitely easier in a different era to win big titles, that's 100%, but I'm happy to be able to compete with these guys at the best level and I really hope that too.

I won my first Slam when they are still around because it counts more, yes definitely my favorite stadium in the world and I am lucky to be able to hold this trophy once again. Thank you very much, we have been in a long The Australian Open is going to go ahead and there have been many occasions over the last 8 months when that would have been in doubt. We now have the opportunity to showcase our world's biggest event capital as well as our ability to deliver these events in what is a very challenging time for all of us, my challenge is as a coach to stay on the team with Noak and try to witness that he is the best tennis player in the history of tennis oh absolute Che iius. from jovic gets the way to seal the deal jovic ruthlessly efficient novak just sliding down the painted area there this doesn't look very good with novak right now maybe it's a rod in the hip movement so oh still highest seems to be above the hip but The repeat slip looked like it wouldn't have been that high, I actually just tried to stay there, you know, and I was hoping that whatever was happening there would feel better and towards the end of the quarter, he starts to feel better, his will to win remains intact today, he dug deeper than he had ever had to dig before, like anyone else.

I want to start a season in the best possible way. I've been lucky enough to be able to do it in the past, many times. times and that sets the tone for the rest of the season, so hopefully I can have the same success that I have had for many, many years. I didn't know a few hours before entering the court tonight whether I'm going to play or not if I'm part of any other tournament than a Grand Slam. I definitely wouldn't play, but it's a Grand Slam. I care a lot at this stage of my career.

Incredible, truly incredible, his desire is insatiable and has surpassed. I reached the quarterfinals for the 12th time at the Australian Open. I'm an eight-time champion here. The pain level was bearable so I was able to play, but somehow I managed to find a way to win and that's it. That's what matters most and now I have another 40 hours or something so until the next game, please. Of course, I'm not proud of these kinds of moments, you know, when I break the record, of course, I'm not proud. That happens to me and today it really helped me, even though I don't do it.intentionally and, fittingly, ending with an ace at the end, it was Novak who put in a 24-carat gold performance to reach his ninth final the way I felt that today I like my chances and I'm definitely going to go for a title.

Daniel is the man to beat without a doubt, I mean, more than 20 wins in a row, he is on a streak of those 20 games, I mean, almost half of them. I know those wins were against top 10 players. I mean, it's really impressive what he's doing and he's like a master chess player, as Jim Kurer called him a few days ago. A very intelligent player who knows tactically how to execute the game plan. Very well, I will say that he is a man who must be beaten, so, and to beat Nook, for sure here in Melbourne you must be at your best, you must show the best you can and that is what I am going to try to do .

Novak takes the first set it's two sets to love he has absolute control in the final you know Roger Rafa I myself am still there for a reason you know we don't want to give it to them and we don't want to allow them to win Slams. oh Standing ovation please what a complete player he is and he has Championship Point Nana for Novak is nine Australian Open titles, world number one Majestic in Melbourne again I'm proud, you know, happy, of course, but I also feel It was also a great relief. He was really very motivated from the moment we walked into Australia practice. 14 days in Adite.

He really wanted to do well here. He knows that this is his court, this is his tournament and he showed it. I know these two weeks with an injury yet, I think he's the nine-time Australian Open champion and, well, he beat Medev in this incredible, incredible performance. Grand Slams are what you dream of winning when you are a young tennis player, so I dreamed of winning Wimbledon and becoming the number. a player in the world, when he was five years old, when I took the bat for the first time in my hands, he managed to achieve those dreams and, at 20, at Wimbledon and then, of course, the love story and the relationship with tennis in terms The joy that I get when I play is still there, of course, it is a very important aspect for me, but professionally, when looking at things, you know, I always feel that it is important to set your goals, you know, short-term goals. long-term goals, so of course the two most important goals were to reach the longest number one in history, you know, weeks in the number one ranking and that is something that I will be able to achieve now in several weeks and a time that's That's done, obviously, I'm going to focus mainly on the Slants, you know, they're trying to play my best Peak tennis at the right time and Majors, uh, Roger and Rafa, they have their own trajectory and journey.

I have mine and, uh, it's. It's wonderful to be part of the same ERA with them and it's also very challenging, but I'm enjoying it, everyone has been distracted by this and unfortunately not all parties involved there have been no winners. It's hard to describe the feeling, you know never. If I had never faced something similar, we are all human and we all make mistakes and you know, I try to learn from them. Jo Rich's visa was canceled at 7:29 a.m. m. I respect, you know, the Australian government's decision, you know, whatever is going to happen. uh from now on I'll just have to deal with it, the Jovic drama finally came to a head, the world number one was kicked out of the country on the eve of the Australian Open, when all is said and done I definitely will .

Take some time to reflect on everything that has happened. What a night. What a morning. Melbourne. You are amazing. Nal will serve to win the title for the second time. It's the miracle in Melbourne. 21 major titles from one of the greatest players of all time, of course. You know the events of last year affected me last year, but you know this year you know I was looking forward to getting back to a place where you know I'm overwhelmed by more positive memories you know from all these years. uh that kind of overwrites what happened last year, so the way people welcomed me at Adelite the last two weeks was very emotional for me.

I was very, very happy to be received that way and I hope I can give you some good emotions when you see me. playing live and on TV just keeping an eye on him here he tries to shake it off yeah he hasn't pulled a hamstring unfortunately this year just a few days before the tournament started I got hurt and had to deal with it. Throughout the whole tournament I feel like Jokovic is hampered a little bit, I mean you can see it in some of his breaks towards the ball, the movement, but it's impressive the way he's still able to manage a point, manage a match, understands the strengths of his game and how to take advantage of them and minimize those areas of weakness.

One of the most dominant performances of Novak's career anywhere, let alone here in Melbourne where he has been the best of all time. You know he has that pedigree. as one of the all-time greats and I think it's going to be difficult for anyone to dethrone Novak until the quarter-finals and you won't find many here in Melbourne who don't believe Novak won't be there. The last man standing arrived on Sunday. I'm very grateful to be able to play. You know, because of the way he looked right before the tournament started. I thought it wouldn't be possible, so.

I'm still here and still supporting Novak Jovic looking to continue his quest to climb into a galaxy of his own. He'll go for title number 10 at the Australian Open on Sunday, one of the goat herd now, so it's not that shocking of him to be there. going for a double-digit number of wins here in Australia Australia has been very good to him, just like you said, I mean, he basically owns this court, he walks on this court, I think with an added sense of pride and commitment with the fact that it is his house and he is not going to allow anyone to invade it, so we will see how it goes, he is a perfect 10, not only Australian champion for the tenth time, but he is once again the best player on the planet. moment when I took off my warrior mask and became brother and son and just passed the message on to any young tennis player around the world who is watching this now and dreams of being here where stephanis and I are. dream big Dare to dream because anything is possible don't let anyone take away your dream no matter where you come from um actually I think the more disadvantaged you have a childhood uh the more difficulties and the more challenges you will have the stronger you become I'm not saying in 100% but in 97% of the players if on Saturday when you get the results of the MRI you go directly to the referee's office and you withdraw from the tournament but he doesn't, he is from another space, you know his brain is working differently and he He gave everything you know therapies 77 therapies a day but you know he did it and in the end he won a tournament.

I don't know how long I'll be competing and playing. I still feel good. about me, my game, there is no reason to think about the end of my career, so I will continue and take it easy and we will see what happens next. Thank you very much and I hope to see you next year. thank
