00:00Novak is Novak. He's the greatest player of all time.
00:02We can't forget that.
00:06We were discussing the other day with the team,
00:08Novak was still able or not to win Grand Slams and beat Alcaraz Sinner.
00:122023, unbelievable year for Novak.
00:15Wins three Grand Slams, final of the fourth one.
00:172024, no Grand Slam wins.
00:20A lot of bad losses, which is something very new for him.
00:23The main problem in 2024 was the motivation,
00:25with Rafa being out of the tour.
00:28In a way, he won his fight against the two others.
00:30He felt like, finally, I got it.
00:33I won the fight of all my career.
00:35He fought within himself to find motivation,
00:37and he couldn't find a way except at the Olympics,
00:39because that was the title he really needed.
00:41What about 2025?
00:42So he made a big change, hiring Andy Murray.
00:44What I noticed already is what he says.
00:46And he says how big his motivation is,
00:48but he also said that he took the decision to play much more.
00:51And if you look at last year,
00:52you could feel that he didn't feel like playing.
00:54He was going only for the big tournaments,
00:56cancelled a lot of tournaments.
00:57He was not in the mood to compete,
00:59because he had no motivation.
01:00The fact that he wants to play much more
01:01shows how motivated he is.
01:03And I think it's all about that.
01:04If his motivation is at its top,
01:06he can compete with the two other guys.
01:07I'm not saying that he has the same margin
01:09that he had before, for sure not,
01:11because the two other guys progressed,
01:12and also others.
01:13If the motivation is really back,
01:15we have to count on him.
01:16I can't believe he's not going to win at least one this year.
