00:00 I came here quite early actually. I was here one week more or less.

00:12 We came here quite early to prepare. It's a good time of the year.

00:18 Here it's summer. Back home it's very cold, even though I like it.

00:27 It's good to be here. I had the chance to play a couple of matches in Kuyang.

00:32 Hopefully I'm prepared at the moment.

00:36 Every day it's getting a little bit better, the feeling with the court.

00:41 Sunday I kick off, so let's see how it goes.

00:45 I just wanted to ask you about your decision not to play a competitive warm-up event.

00:49 Daniel was in here earlier saying he'd obviously made the same decision.

00:53 He felt like it was a bit of a risk, but it was something he wanted to try to see if it worked.

00:58 What was behind the decision for you?

01:01 For me, last year I finished quite late. I played also the Davies Cup.

01:11 I had only one week of stop, basically.

01:19 Then we started the off-season. We were there quite early.

01:25 I wanted to start as soon as possible in one way, the off-season.

01:31 Knowing that was really important for me and my body.

01:39 We also tried to figure out if this could be an option for the upcoming years.

01:49 If this helps for me or not.

01:53 As I said, I played a couple of matches in Kuyang.

01:56 They're not official matches, obviously, but you get this match feeling a little bit.

02:02 Let's see. We'll have all the answers on Sunday and then we'll see how it goes.

02:10 I feel quite confident to be ready for some good tennis.

02:17 There are many things, to be honest.

02:21 We were just talking yesterday at dinner about this.

02:28 You talk a lot about the progress you have to make.

02:34 It's important also the destination.

02:38 But in the other way, maybe the most important thing is the company you have around.

02:43 This is what lasts you forever.

02:47 Maybe these are the things you will always remember after your career.

02:54 He gives you a point of view, not only tennis-wise, but also the general view.

03:01 I really like this and I love the company I have.

03:06 We have a lot of fun.

03:09 If we would live 24/7 in a house all together, we could live so, so long.

03:17 We make zero problems out of it.

03:21 We have fun, we enjoy our ride and that's good for us.

03:27 I think the combination with all of us is really good.

03:32 Just staying in the present moment, to be honest.

03:36 I'm here to play, or at least to try to play, some good tennis.

03:44 Obviously, it's tough to say how the season will go.

03:49 But at the end of the year I played really good.

03:53 I still have the confidence inside me, for sure.

03:57 But in the other way, every season is different, every tournament is different.

04:03 Honestly, I missed being a little bit out of competition in the last one and a half to two months or so.

04:13 Or maybe less.

04:15 It's good to be back here, to have the connection with the crowd and everything.

04:23 Let's see how it goes.

04:25 You're obviously a great skier. Do you watch the skiing back home?

04:34 Yeah, I watch it.

04:37 It's quite easy because in the evening here it's the perfect time to watch.

04:44 I'm following a little bit, obviously not every race.

04:50 But it's still a little bit in my blood because it's normal.

04:55 Last year I was not following that much, this year I was following.

05:00 I was really happy when Paris won the downhill.

05:06 It was a great emotion.

05:10 Obviously also on the women's side we have a lot of Italians doing great things with Rignione and Goggia.

05:21 It's nice to watch also some skiing.

05:26 Goggia and Rignione, they just go for it.

05:30 Yeah, that's why I like them.

05:33 They are either win or I don't want them to arrive in the finish line.

05:38 Last year you managed to beat a lot of top players, Djokovic a couple of times, even Medvedev three times in a row.

05:47 But before that you couldn't beat him.

05:49 Mentally, has that improved somewhat?

05:52 How do you see yourself against the top players now in that mindset?

05:56 For sure mindset is a key point in our sport.

06:00 It gives you a good feeling when you lose so many times and then you win finally.

06:08 Because it shows you also the progress you are making as a player.

06:12 Also with Daniil for example, I lost I think six times in a row.

06:18 I figured out that I can win against him if I play some good tennis.

06:26 So let's see.

06:30 The mental part is really important.

06:32 You always have to believe in yourself.

06:36 I think that's maybe the most important for a tennis player.
