01:10 First and most important thing today is stay healthy.

01:15 My goal is still medium term, in a couple of months to try to be again competitive now.

01:22 If I am competitive, fantastic, but it's something that for me is going to be a big surprise if I am competitive in a good level.

01:32 So let's see. Day by day. Today is a positive day. Let's see after tomorrow.

02:38 The most important thing is the surgery on the soas, iliac and the hip. That's not bothering me at all.

02:48 So that's something that is super important for me. And then for the moment, the foot is answering well.

02:58 That's for me the main issue. The foot is problematic and for the moment I am able to move myself with no limitations.

03:12 And that's for me, it makes me feel happier and able to play better without a doubt.

04:54 For sure it's not the same like last year at all because when it happened last year, I felt something drastic immediately.

05:04 No, today I didn't feel anything. The only problem is because the place is the same. You are a little bit more scared than usual.

05:13 In an ideal world, it's just the muscle supercharged after a few days of effort and a very tough match.

05:25 That will be the ideal thing, something that we know that can happen.

05:31 If that's the thing, then everything is perfect. As I said, I didn't come here to win tournaments now.

05:40 I just came here to try to come back and do it in a positive way. It was a very positive way.

05:47 I really hope that if the feeling on that leg is better and better tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, then it's perfect news.

06:01 If not, as I said, we're going to do a test and let's see.
