00:10BNP Paribas, partenaire des plus belles histoires de Roland Garros, aux côtés des ramasseurs de balles depuis plus de 50 ans.

00:17Well, my first main draw appearance, I'm feeling really good.

00:23I had some really good matches here in Paris, and it's strange because I came here for my first time in three years,

00:33so it's like a déjà vu sometimes.

00:37I went to Suzanne Le Goulin, and that was where we stayed in juniors,

00:43and it was my first time here in Philippe-Châtre, so it was super nice,

00:47and yeah, happy to play my first match here as a pro.

00:53English questions first?

00:55English or Portuguese?

00:57In English, sure.

00:59Fonsei, Carlo, Follet-San parle brésil.

01:03Podemos facer de poes en portugués, antes en ingles.

01:07Okay, but I could ask in English.

01:09Okay.

01:11Hi there, Joao.

01:14I just wonder, how do you handle the amount of attention that you get

01:20for such a young, new player as a professional?

01:23It's a lot.

01:24I just wonder how you find the experience.

01:28How do I handle it?

01:30Enjoy it?

01:31I'm just enjoying my career life.

01:35I'm reaching some good things.

01:38I'm young, so I'm learning every week.

01:42I'll try my best.

01:43I try to focus on my routine, what I need to do, focus on good people on my side,

01:54helping me achieve good things.

01:56So, I like learning every week how to adapt.

02:01But, yeah, things are getting on their own path.

02:06So, yeah, just focus on my routines and play my tennis.

02:11You mentioned there a couple of times about learning and how important that is.

02:14Just wondered what you learned from your Australian Open run

02:17that maybe you can take into this tournament.

02:20Well, I think it was the biggest stadium that I ever played.

02:24And, yeah, it was my first top ten player that I played against.

02:31And the crowd was huge.

02:33So, I mean, I learned how to play in those stadiums.

02:37It was an experience for me, my first main draw.

02:41So, yeah, I think after Australia, a lot changed.

02:46And, yeah, now I'm a bit more experienced in all those type of circumstances.

02:55Hi, Charles.

02:56Danish TV.

02:57I have a question about Elmer Møller, who you played in Madrid.

03:00The young guy from Denmark, who's known for having a lethal backhand.

03:06Very special playing style.

03:07I was just wondering, now you're the only one who's played an ATP match.

03:11Actually, that was his first tournament.

03:13One loss to you.

03:14I was just wondering the approach tactically, how you approach that.

03:19Well, first, I talked to my coach and the first thing that he said was about his backhand.

03:25It was huge.

03:26It seemed like he was a lefty.

03:28And the other thing was that I was the younger one, but I was a bit more experienced than him.

03:35And that was the first time that I felt a little bit more experienced than him on those kind of stadiums, those kind of tournaments.

03:43And, yeah, it was strange of my part, but I handled really well on the match.

03:49So, yeah, happy for this match.

03:52I played a really good match.

03:53And, yeah, I thought he was a little bit more nervous.

03:56Like I stayed in my first tournaments, my first big tournaments.

04:03Hi, Jao.

04:05How is your confidence level at this point?

04:08And what have you been doing to sort of keep it high or try and get it high coming into a major tournament like this?

04:17Feeling good, having some good practices, winning sets, again, very good players.

04:24And, yeah, feeling good.

04:26I know tennis, I'm understanding that tennis is a sport like every other sport that you have ups and downs.

04:36You're not going to stay up every time.

04:39There's going to be some times you're not feeling very confident and you need to handle.

04:44But at the same time, I'm feeling very confident.

04:48I'm playing really well.

04:51And, yeah, so it's my first time here.

04:54So it's another experience.

04:56And like I said, I want to learn every week.

04:59Hi, Jao.

05:02Just wondering, at this stage in your career, what do you consider your best surface?

05:08I say because I was born on clay, I'll say clay.

05:14But after the last year that I played a lot on hard, I played seven months so hard directly.

05:23I am kind of more adapted to hard also.

05:27But the surface that I want to play best is grass.

05:31So it's like a mix.

05:33Has there been a particular challenge for you playing on clay on like ATP tour level versus on hard on tour level?

05:42Like, has that just been different for you?

05:45I mean, I don't know because I actually don't know because I play good in clay.

05:58I played one week that I won in Buenos Aires.

06:01And then after, I changed to hard again because I was in Miami.

06:05And then after, I changed to clay again.

06:07So, yeah, I felt my head in the beginning of the clay tournament that was more into hard.

06:16So, I was playing on clay like I needed to play on hard.

06:22And my head was like mixing a little bit.

06:25And then now I'm adapting a little bit more.

06:28And then I start to do mood for me.

06:30So, yeah.

06:31And then I see in the 60s.

06:36Just so kenera, you'll have a perfect setup though.

06:40And then you just take a picture of meretikkely

06:45that you knew it was not so just me.

06:47I'll check out the checked out.

06:49And the監視 is also such a thing I really want to try another day.

06:53Hold it fast.

06:55Take care.
