01:38Game, set, match, Djokovic.

01:54That's what he was most impressed about.

01:57I'm very glad, obviously amazing to have him,

02:00great honour and pleasure to play,

02:02I think probably for the first time in front of him live.

02:07So I'm really grateful that he was here with his son,

02:10I think, and his family.

02:12I admired him, of course, as most of the world,

02:16for most of his career,

02:18so it's amazing that he still keeps going.

02:20We're actually the same age, born in 1987,

02:22so it's quite nice to have him around.

02:25As far as my game goes, again,

02:28serve definitely the highlight of the match.

02:32I think it was 83% last match,

02:34and I thought probably it would be difficult to beat that,

02:37but today 87%, so I don't know what to say.

02:40I've been serving very well,

02:42and hopefully I can continue in the same fashion,

02:45because that definitely makes my life easier on the court.

02:48You're now within one win of another major milestone,

02:51100 titles.

02:52How much has that driven you in the last few weeks?

02:55Well, I mean, after Olympics, which was 99 title,

03:00I knew at every tournament I play I'm going for 100,

03:03and wasn't able to achieve that until hopefully Sunday.

03:08I'm going to go all in.

03:10I haven't dropped the set.

03:12I'm playing really good tennis,

03:14as good as I've played in a long time,

03:17so hopefully it can come here.
