00:30Nice presents as well
00:31And nice surprises for her birthday party
00:34But hopefully the win can be something she can be happy with
00:39But again, daddy away and daddy present is a big difference
00:44And I know that, but it is what it is this year
00:47Matt
00:48Novak, the last couple of rounds you've played
00:51It's come up that you were the oldest to make
00:53Fourth round and quarters since Jimmy Connors in 1991
00:56You were obviously very young when he made that semi-final run
01:00But that's such a big part of this tournament's history
01:02I wonder what you know about that run in 1991
01:04Was he 40, 40 years old?
01:0639 maybe
01:0739
01:07Yeah, I remember, I thought he was 40
01:10I remember that, I remember that run
01:12I mean, I, you know, I was very, very, very young
01:18So I don't, you know, avidly remember it when it was happening
01:23But in the years to come when I was growing up watching a lot of tennis
01:27Everyone was, you know, talking about that run being one of the most historic runs we had in sport
01:33But on any slam, you know, Jimmy Connors being one of the greatest tennis players of all time
01:40And greatest legends in general, overall, globally
01:44But particularly in this tournament
01:45I mean, he's won it, what, like five times
01:47And, you know, he's fired up the New York crowd like no other player has done in his career
01:53So, yeah, just being in the same discussion or same conversation with Jimmy is obviously a huge honor of mine
02:01Hello Novak
02:02Given the age you are now
02:05And obviously you've had so many incredible achievements in your career
02:09But given the age you are and what you've got ahead
02:13If you were to win this, would this be the biggest achievement of your career?
02:18It could be
02:18But still a very long way, you know
02:21For me, in the last couple of years I learned one thing right now
02:28It's to take really one match at a time
02:30And yes, of course, I'm dreaming about winning another slam
02:34And it would be amazing if I do it here
02:37But, you know, I just, I can't allow myself to go that far with my thinking
02:47Because, yeah, I just need to focus on what needs to be done
02:52And the last, to win a match, next match, next challenge
02:55Last Grand Slam I won was here, actually, two years ago
02:58So it would be a nice
02:59Nice kind of journey in the last couple of years
03:05To kind of close the circle here again
03:07Would be great
03:08Let's see
