00:00Yannick, through to the quarter-finals, must be feeling pretty good?
00:06Yes, very happy to be again here in the quarters.
00:09It was a very tough match today, you served really well, as we all know,
00:14so happy to win in a straight set and let's see what's coming.
00:22Hi, Yannick, Bazan here from Quarantine Shot.
00:24Congrats on your win.
00:25Are we going to see more between-the-leg shots in your up-and-coming matches?
00:29I don't think so. I'm not the kind of player to have a lot of trick shots,
00:34but in this case it was still the easiest shot.
00:37I didn't have space to go right and left, so it was a lucky shot.
00:45Next you're going to play Daniil, because Grigor withdrew.
00:50What are your thoughts about your history with him
00:53and how you've turned around the match-ups from when he was winning every one
00:58and now you've won every one in recent times?
01:01No, I still think that every match has its own story,
01:07especially I felt like in Australia we had two different matches in one match,
01:13so it's going to be tough for both of us.
01:17I practised with him earlier in the week, he was playing really good,
01:24so it's going to be tough.
01:26I'm looking forward to it again, it's a big challenge for me,
01:31but this is what I practised for and hopefully it's going to be a good match.
01:35May I ask what the key is in your mind when you face him?
01:40I think here the key is a little bit different, because the surface is different,
01:44so we have to see and I think for both of us it's going to be very important how we serve.
01:53On grass it's the most important shot and then we'll see.
01:59It's going to be for sure some long rallies, a physical match,
02:04this I know already and I hope to be ready.
02:10Congratulations.
02:13You seem to have read his serve very well today
02:16and I just wondered is there a percentage that you're guessing at sometimes?
02:21Against big servers sometimes you have to guess,
02:26especially in important moments.
02:29Tie-break was tough, because I was up 5-2, 5-3 I was in the rally,
02:35I missed the shot and then I was 5-6 down.
02:39It's a momentum change, a small one, but I can lose the third set
02:45and then everything can happen in fourth and fifth potentially.
02:49I'm happy how I handled the situation, it was obviously very, very tough to play against him,
02:55one of the best servers we have on tour and a very aggressive player.
03:01I'm happy how I returned today and I think that's for sure one of the keys today.
03:08Any further questions in English?
03:12Jannik, you mentioned the return, I'm just curious in general,
03:15is there anything you're particularly happy with about your game at the moment
03:19and if so, why?
03:26I don't know, I feel like the important moments in each game,
03:30in each match I try to put full effort in and I feel like this sometimes can make the difference.
03:40Obviously you need courage to go for certain shots,
03:47but I'm pushing myself to do that and sometimes you can miss the shot,
03:54sometimes it's the right decision.
03:56I feel like this is one of the key points for until now here in Wimbledon
04:04and let's see what's coming now.
