00:03 [Applause]
00:06 There's a little stick there.
00:09 How are you feeling now? Has it all sort of sunk in from last night?
00:18 No, it feels great. It's nice to be here. The weather is good.
00:22 I didn't sleep much, but it's, you know, great emotions.
00:27 I'm slowly realising what I've done. It's a great achievement for me and my team,
00:32 so I'm really happy to be here.
00:34 This is Doc. This is Doc Yannick.
00:37 Yeah, I do remember. It's, you know, in the beginning of a season,
00:44 you never know what's coming and what's happening,
00:47 but I felt quite prepared and ready to do well here.
00:51 Obviously, winning the tournament is something unbelievable,
00:56 but I just try to take day after day, as I said there in Kuiyong,
01:02 and trying to be ready for the biggest challenges
01:05 and obviously playing against the best players in the world.
01:09 So I'm really happy how I performed here, and let's see what's coming in the future.
01:15 Yannick, Jordan Turnbridge at Radio 3AW.
01:18 The youngest winner since Novak Djokovic in 2008.
01:22 He's gone on to win 10 Australian Opens.
01:24 Can you imagine reaching that sort of level after the fortnight you've just had?
01:28 Yeah, honestly, I don't think about that.
01:31 He's a different league.
01:34 I'm just happy that I have this trophy for this year, and then we'll see what's coming.
01:41 But, you know, there is still a lot of work to do,
01:45 but I will enjoy my process, and then we'll see what I can achieve in the future.
01:52 Yannick, you can't wait to see the full-fledged future.
01:56 The question is about the next generation.
01:59 Do you think it will be better, or do you think it will be like the Chinese last year?
02:05 I don't like to talk about what's good to change.
02:11 The NoLets, I think, was in the next gen.
02:16 It's something new. They always try something new to see how it works,
02:23 to make the game a little bit shorter for the spectators.
02:27 But there are tournaments like the Grand Slams who have a big history behind them,
02:34 so I think it's good to see how they are.
02:38 Long matches are always enjoyable to watch.
02:43 So let's see what they are going to change for the better in this sport.
02:50 Yannick, seeing Alkara winning two Grand Slams,
02:56 being number one two years younger than you,
02:59 does it hurt you to be here right now?
03:02 Yeah, I'm really happy with what he has achieved already at his really young age.
03:10 We have a great friendship off the court.
03:17 We are good fighters on the court.
03:20 Hopefully this helps us to grow for each other.
03:24 But there are so many other young players who can make something great in this sport.
03:30 It's quite unpredictable what's coming in the future,
03:36 but it's nice to be part of this generation.
03:41 I think the next generation is what this sport needs.
03:45 It's also a little bit of a game-changer with a sense of everything going fast.
03:54 So let's see.
04:00 Yannick, Sven from Germany, ZDF.
04:03 What did you think yesterday right after match point, after coming back?
04:08 There were obviously a lot of emotions in my head.
04:13 The hard work and the sacrifices I've done throughout my career
04:18 and sharing this moment with my team was maybe the best feeling I've had until now.
04:25 It's great emotions. I was just happy.
04:30 Yesterday I still maybe couldn't believe it, and now I start to realise it.
04:35 So it's a great feeling.
04:38 Yannick, congratulations.
04:40 Can you talk to us about how you celebrated last night?
04:43 We've seen how good of a relationship you have with your team.
04:46 Can you talk to us about your relationship with Darren Cahill as well?
04:49 The relationship with Darren is incredibly good.
04:55 I've known him now for more or less two years.
05:00 I see more of him than my family.
05:04 It's great to have him in my team.
05:09 It's great that we have the chance to talk about other stuff, not only about tennis.
05:15 Generally, he's a key person of our team.
05:20 He has a lot of experience, which helped us to handle the situation and the pressure in the right way.
05:26 Yesterday, nothing. We just went to eat something and that's it.
05:33 We went to sleep a little bit late, but it's okay.
05:39 Yannick, congratulations on the win.
05:41 You spoke last night about your parents and the freedom they gave you when you were younger to play other sports and try other things.
05:47 Can you just elaborate a bit more about that and what other sports you liked when you were younger?
05:51 When I was young, I played football. I was a skier and then obviously I played tennis.
05:59 But I never had one sport where I said, "Okay, I want to do this."
06:04 Until I was around 13 years old, then I started to take away football and skiing.
06:11 Because tennis gave me a feeling that I can make the difference.
06:18 Football is tough if you play. It's a team sport.
06:23 In skiing, if you make one mistake, you cannot win the race.
06:28 In tennis, you can still make some mistakes, but still win.
06:34 I think also mentally wise, you have more advantage to handle the situation a little bit better.
06:44 You have more time to think about how to play the point.
06:48 The parents gave me a good sense of trying to find the right solution.
06:58 Nick, congratulations. You had a quick chat to Nick Kyrgios last night and you had some words of encouragement for him.
07:02 How much would you like to see him back on the tour?
07:05 It would be awesome to see him back.
07:09 There are not so many players who have this kind of talent that he has.
07:15 Obviously, making surgeries at a quite young age, he's still young.
07:22 It's not easy. I wish him all the best, a speedy recovery.
07:28 We all hope to see him back on the court.
07:31 Yannick, as you prepare to fly out of Australia, out of Melbourne,
07:35 what's going to be your biggest takeaway of being here in the city?
07:38 For sure, I love the support throughout the whole two weeks.
07:45 I'm going to miss all the people.
07:48 But in the other way, one year passes fast, so I'm already looking forward to coming back.
07:54 It's an incredible tournament. The people are always really happy.
07:58 They try to help not only the players, but everyone.
08:04 I think that's really nice to see. I'm really looking forward to coming back.
08:09 I'm trying to play some good tennis next year and also trying to be healthy and happy,
08:14 which is the most important.
