00:00I'm never really happy to lose, but he's one of the very few players that I would be happier

00:08to lose to, to be honest. I've seen him play when he was 15 or 16 and invited him. We had

00:17some training blocks together. He was training at my club in Belgrade. To see his development

00:24and evolution is really great, amazing. I could see back then already that three, four

00:30years ago that he's going to be one of the top players of the world. So I'm super glad

00:35that he's using the potential that he has because he's got a complete game. Obviously

00:41serve is incredible, powerful, precise, and wins a lot of free points with the first serve.

00:50Forehand as well. Czechs are cool, they always have a great backhand, but forehand he's improved

00:55a lot. Movement for a tall, big guy like that, he slides and moves well. He still can improve

01:01of course, so I'm sure we'll be seeing him around.
