00:00 What do you think about the win?
00:04 It's a great reward for what my team and I and my family have been through this year, being one of the most successful years in my career that I ever had.
00:21 Four out of five major tournaments I won and played finals in Wimbledon, so I couldn't ask for more to be honest. I'm very, very proud of this season.
00:32 You can win four slams and Olympic gold. Let's see. I have always the highest ambitions and goals, so that's not going to be different for the next year, that's for sure.
00:48 The drive that I have is still there. My body has been serving me well, listening to me well. I have a great team of people around me. Motivation, especially for the biggest tournaments in sports, is still present, so it still inspires me to keep going.
01:11 Being as old as I am, there is always a question mark. Should I be going for another year like this, or maybe less, or maybe I stop? I do have those conversations internally and also with people around me.
01:27 I don't think I'm super grateful and blessed that I still have the greatest support of the closest ones to keep going. Without that, I wouldn't definitely be going.
01:47 Obviously, family is the priority in life, and their well-being and health, and the moments that we share with each other. At the same time, for me personally, and of course people around me, it's still a huge motivation to keep going and making history in this sport.
02:09 I still enjoy it. I love competition. I love winning tournaments, obviously, and being the best in the world. I know that there are a lot of people around the world, especially from my region, that follow me. They want me to keep going, which is an added strength.
02:25 It's kind of juggling between the two, really understanding how to maintain that balance that will allow me to be happy, fulfilled professionally and privately.
02:37 Rune Aukaraz and him are the next big three, if you want to call them. They're going to carry this sport. I will hang on for as long as I feel like hanging on.
02:55 As long as I'm able to win against them on the big stage, I'll still keep going. Why stop if you're still winning the biggest titles?
03:08 Once they start to kick my butt, then I'll consider having a little break, or maybe a permanent break from professional tennis.
03:23 I want them to feel that kind of pressure. When they play me, I want them to feel that it's going to require the best tennis from them in order to win against me.
03:41 That's what I want my opponents to feel, no doubt, because that helps mentally coming into the match.
03:49 match.
