00:00For me, as an example, longevity, we have a similar story, so I think it deserves because it's a great
00:07example for this generation, old generation, the generation is going to come, so it deserves.
00:14Because your relationship actually goes back quite a few years. I know you've been seen watching Novak play tennis. Where
00:19did you first meet?
00:21It's a good question. We go back a long time, you know, when he was playing in Real Madrid, he
00:26would be coming to watch the tournament at Madrid tournament, and obviously for us, every time he shows up, it
00:36would be an added pressure, but also an inspiration to try to do our best.
00:40You know, obviously he was, you know, ruling the world at that time, and he still keeps on going, so
00:46I'm very thankful to hear these words from him, and also thankful to call him a friend, and someone that
00:53really inspires me as well.
00:55You know, not to repeat his words, but it's really the same way for me. You know, when I still
01:04wake up in the morning and I try at 38 to find motivation after playing the highest level of professional
01:11tennis for more than 20 years, and your body is aching, and you're questioning whether, you know, you want to
01:17keep going after you achieve, you know, everything, and I'm very blessed to achieve everything in this sport.
01:24And then you see the examples of Cristiano, you know, and what he's been trying to do, so as he
01:29mentioned, there's a lot of similarities, a lot of parallels that we can draw, and really, in a sense, even
01:37though we are not part of the same sport, but we're kind of pushing each other, you know, that's how
01:40it feels, and I think we are also showing to the future generations that there is no limit.
