00:00 I feel great in my own body right now and I've been playing some really high quality tennis.
00:06 2023 was one of the best seasons I've had in my life and why stop while you're still playing great.
00:13 So I'll keep going and take it one by one, you know, and see how far I go.
00:17 Tom Brady is a great example of a champion in his sport and someone that has
00:23 had such a great career and longevity. He has put a lot of hours and a lot of time into
00:31 self-care, into recovery, into making sure that in a way every aspect of
00:37 his body and mind is covered so that he can have a long lasting successful career. So I know him
00:45 personally as well and I learned a lot from him, from his example and hopefully I can have a career
00:53 that goes up to 40 or maybe even beyond. I think it's very good that we have another great driver
00:58 in tennis. Alkaraz is youngest ever year and number one in the history of our sport. He's
01:06 only 20 but he has won multiple Grand Slams and big titles, being already a consistent
01:13 top two, three player, you know, for such a young age is amazing.
01:19 And he's going to be definitely one of the leaders of the future of tennis in the next 10-15 years.
01:26 I'm sure we're going to see a lot of him winning big tournaments.
01:29 And obviously Nadal wasn't playing the entire 2023 so,
01:35 Federer retiring also last year, you know, kind of our era is coming to an end but,
01:43 you know, you have Alkaraz emerging which is great and I was very happy that I had, you know,
01:48 four very good matches with him this year. Each match attracted a lot of attention,
01:54 we had a lot of great highlights and it's good. It's good for our sport. You have Carlos,
01:59 you have Sinner, Rooney, you know, young players who are going to carry this sport
02:03 for the years to come. You know, I took some time off and I started to train without the racket and
02:10 of course I've been practicing now tennis for the last couple of weeks and I'm here, you know,
02:17 playing with Carlos. It's a great opportunity to play tennis on a higher level before travelling
02:25 to Australia and hopefully starting the season on a good note.
