00:00 I'm proud of myself that I'm playing consistently here and that I'm
00:08 mentioning the same sentence as Rafa.
00:12 I don't know, it seems something impossible.
00:16 [Music]
00:34 This surface makes my game better.
00:38 I have my, you know, grip allows me to spin more.
00:42 I can play more defense points because it's a bit slower,
00:46 but on the other hand I have also more time to attack sometimes,
00:49 so I feel like I'm just using it well.
00:51 [Music]
01:02 It's hard not to see, you know, what's at stake and what the atmosphere is
01:05 around these matches, so still I'm not, like, used to it.
01:10 [Music]
01:23 For me it's surprising to see, you know, interviews from Nole when I was a kid
01:29 saying that he wanted to be world number one and Wimredon.
01:34 I watched this and I said, "It's unbelievable that you can dream as a child."
01:40 I never dreamed to be, I think, in the Grand Slam final,
01:46 and I'm here and I'm so happy, but it's something different.
01:50 I'm a different kind of person, I think.
01:52 [Music]
02:03 Iga is an unbelievable player, as I said.
02:06 She's so young, but so many achievements, Grand Slams.
02:10 We played a long time ago, so I need to prepare tactically
02:13 and see what her game is at now, you know,
02:17 because for sure she's playing, she has the best season.
02:20 [Music]
