00:00I can tell that you're getting quite emotional now thinking about that as well.

00:06Does everybody come together to be reminded?

00:10I know you don't want Ever to forget Djokovic, but it's that constant reminder.

00:16Is that something that is good for everyone to stir them on or are there some other parts with that?

00:24I think it's good for us to remind him every time possible because of, like I said, the person and the player he was.

00:35But it's impossible to measure what it does to the players and then to measure what it does to our results.

00:43So the last thing I would do is to use it as an excuse because I simply don't know.

00:48What I do know is that we miss the player.

00:51That's 100% sure.

00:52And we also miss the person, but I cannot measure what that has an impact on our performances, let alone on our results.

01:02So that's impossible for me to say and we will never use it as an excuse because that doesn't feel right.
