His expectations
“How do I feel about Roland-Garros? I don’t know at all, I just arrived. I’m happy to be back at Roland-Garros. My state of mind is still the same. I’m still on the same path as the last few weeks, the last few days. In my personal life, it’s going really well, and in my professional life, it’s not.
The only thing I know is that I should normally see my mother, it’s been a very long time since I saw her. I hope I can see her for at least a few seconds, I don’t even know how I’m going to see her, if I’m going to be able to take her in my arms, it weighs. My father, he’s not here, my friends, no one is really there either, it will still not be the same (as before the pandemic). “
His impressions of Federer
“Between the first and the second day (in training in Geneva), he had really picked up the pace. In one day, it’s fabulous what he found as a rhythm, as a panache. I saw the difference in its movement, in its quality of strike. With the training week here, he will evolve even more. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly he was regaining his abilities.
Naomi Osaka’s decision not to come to a press conference
“Naomi is a great champion. I think every decision that a champion will make is necessarily contested or appreciated. All I see is a champion taking responsibility for her choices. I don’t need to judge his choices. I respect her. I understand the position of the press, and his, I don’t have much to say about that. “
