00:00Nick, big news, you're playing Arena Sabalenka in a battle of the sexes. Feeling any heat?

00:05Of course. I've been around some male players the last couple of months and they all say that I'm representing them.

00:12I've got to do a good job and go out there and show the world.

00:15Look, I'm feeling the pressure, but I'm ready and she knows I'm ready too.

00:19Obviously, body's feeling really good. Last month having massive improvements.

00:23And obviously, I've got a pretty scheduled packed December, playing some of the young Americans, some of the best players in the world.

00:30So it's going to be a good test for my body.

00:32But by feeling good, I'm able to start stringing some sessions together for an hour and a half, two hours with no knee swelling.

00:37So, yeah, really excited to get back out there in front of all the fans as well and then start getting back out there.
