My goal this year is to win a Grand Slam title. I already won a Masters 1000 in Paris and I feel that the next step is a Grand Slam. I know it’s not easy and it may not happen, but I’m going to put 100% into it. I feel good physically and mentally, so I hope it comes this year.”.

A new Big Three with Alcaraz and Sinner?

It’s exciting, that’s for sure.. It will be fun if we become the next Big Three of the future. I try to focus on myself I don’t need others to get my best level, I can do it myself. However, it is fantastic to see how Alcaraz has already won a Grand Slam and has been number one in the world. And also Sinner beating Alcaraz. We have very close battles and they are great players”.

The relationship with Patrick Mouratoglou continues

I am still part of your academy and whenever I need help it is there. This week he is here with me along with my fitness coach, my mother and the analyst. I am very happy, I have the perfect team”.

Progressing ahead of Roland Garros

I feel good, my level is getting better and better. Right now I do everything I can to get to Roland Garros as well as possible and this tournament can help a lot”.

Great atmosphere in the match against Fognini

It’s been a crazy, high-energy atmosphere, especially late in the first set, but it’s part of the game and it’s fun. It is more entertaining to play like this than without an audience. Fognini is a crazy character too. Take tennis to another level”.
