00:00For the past 15 years, I've said my pick is Rafa until further notice.
00:04So now I actually have to think about it a little more instead of just going my default.
00:08If he gets to eight slams, you know, that's Agassi, McEnroe, that's, you know, that's in those kind of ballparks of some of the greats of all time.
00:34I mean, you get to 11, you're Bjorn Borg. I mean, I don't want to make him feel like he's a failure if he gets to 11 grand slams.
00:42I mean, that's incredible. So I don't want to say like, oh, yeah, he can be like Rafa because that is such a high bar to set.
00:48Best of five is going to be a great test for me. Trying to understand where I am and, yeah, let's see how my body will respond.
01:12Best of five is going to be the most constant, like that, there are always sets where he disappears, etc.
01:30I see what he does. So after, there's a moment when it goes so much that it doesn't win. And we're certainly there.
01:35Is he still going to win? Yes. I don't know. And especially...
01:39Did I have the best preparation?
02:09Probably not, especially with the illness in Hamburg. I know that. So that's what I'm saying.
02:15It is crucial for me to play well in the early stages.
