00:00 It's quite unpredictable what's coming in the future,

00:04 but still it's nice to be part of this generation.

00:37 You can breathe this fact, despite his youth,

00:54 this willingness to put his profession at his disposal.

00:58 He has the potential to be a top player.

01:03 His potential is very high.

01:13 I'm not saying anything special, because he's beaten everybody.

01:16 He beat Djokovic three times, or the last four times they played.

02:12 but I will enjoy my process,

02:15 and then we'll see what I can achieve in the future.
