00:00 His potential is very high. I think he's a future number one. I'm not saying anything

00:06 special because he's beaten everybody. He beat Djokovic three times, or the last four

00:11 times they played. He beat Matt Vredeva, being two sets to Laff down, which shows how mentally

00:16 and physically strong he is. So for me, it's a matter of time that he becomes number one.

00:24 I think he can play on all surfaces. Maybe Klee is his least surface, but all the other

00:30 surfaces you would say he's a title contender. If you see the popularity, last year in Turin

00:37 already, of course that's Italy, he's a local player. It's amazing, but also here, the amount

00:44 of tickets we sold when we announced his name and after he won the Australian Open, it was

00:48 really very, very good. For me, the two most popular players at the moment, of course not

00:54 counting the big four, is Alkaras and Sinner.
