00:03C'est difficile de jouer de tennis sous cette condition.
00:08Qu'est-ce que c'était la clé pour gagner ce match ?
00:11La clé était de jouer agressifement et d'être concentré.
00:19Parce que dès que j'ai perdu, il a commencé à jouer beaucoup mieux.
00:26Il a commencé à prendre l'advantage.
00:29Il a commencé à bouger bien.
00:32Et à prendre la forehand avec la spin,
00:35avec cette condition,
00:36c'était difficile de faire quelque chose,
00:38dès qu'il a pris la forehand.
00:40Donc, la clé était de jouer plus rapide que lui.
00:44Et les moments où j'ai pu dire,
00:47« Ok, je vais jouer pour les shots, je vais jouer agressifement. »
00:49Et en fin, j'ai joué beaucoup mieux que d'avant.
00:54Et j'ai commencé à avoir beaucoup plus d'opportunités que lui.
00:58Et c'est ça.
00:59Donc, c'est quand j'étais plus loose et plus libre,
01:02et j'ai joué pour les shots,
01:04j'ai joué tout de suite.
01:08J'ai joué mon chemin.
01:09André, how tough was this match,
01:13mentally and physically,
01:15especially as it got later,
01:18in the later stages of this match?
01:24I mean, of course, it was a tough match,
01:27because Camilo is playing better and better,
01:30and he wins some good matches,
01:33and he fought some last year, last season,
01:38some matches against good players.
01:40he did a good fight,
01:42and that's it.
01:44I knew that if I want to win,
01:47I will need to be the one who will dictate.
01:49But of course,
01:50sometimes during the match,
01:52when you feel tight and things like that,
01:53it's not easy.
01:54and the moments like,
01:56when I was a bit relaxing,
01:58or I was tight,
01:59and I was not hitting enough,
02:02he was straight away taking advantage.
02:04When I was able to be more focused,
02:09to it doesn't matter,
02:10tight or not tight,
02:11okay, I'm going to go for a shot,
02:13I'm going to move,
02:14I'm going to hit,
02:15then straight away,
02:18I was having the opportunity.
02:19So it was, I mean,
02:21normal, good, tough match,
02:24that I was able to win.
02:28So that's the most important.
02:30Hi, Andre.
02:31Congratulations.
02:32Sorry, it's not a question about the match today,
02:35but I'm writing a long story
02:36about last year's final
02:38between Carlos and Yannick,
02:40one year later.
02:41I wanted to know if you had the opportunity
02:43at the time to watch the game live,
02:45or if you saw it,
02:47a few highlights,
02:48I don't know, later.
02:49And generally,
02:50do you like to watch Princeton finals?
02:52do you watch them as a pure tennis fan,
02:55or as a professional tennis player?
02:58I didn't watch it live,
03:01but I did watch not full much,
03:06but some parts more like towards the middle of the sets,
03:11and things like that.
03:13So I kind of skip a bit.
03:15I didn't watch all the,
03:16I don't know how much they play,
03:17five hours,
03:17or of course not.
03:20but I watched some, yeah,
03:23some parts of it.
03:25And overall,
03:26of course,
03:28I'm watching tennis,
03:29not,
03:30depends.
03:31It doesn't have to be final of slum,
03:33or something.
03:35It can be just normal matches,
03:37or if I'm,
03:39yeah, I'm watching tennis.
03:41Not like a crazy one,
03:43or something,
03:43but yeah,
03:44when I have a chance,
03:45or a moment,
03:46I'm watching,
03:46let's say,
03:48Wimbledon,
03:48I was watching live,
03:51on the TV,
03:52because I was there,
03:55in one tournament,
03:56and they were showing,
03:57so I was in the room,
03:59and I was just watching.
04:00Then some matches in Indian Wells,
04:02I was watching a lot of matches,
04:03because we were staying there,
04:06and in a house,
04:07and there is a TV,
04:09so you just put tennis,
04:10and the matches there were non-stop.
04:13And, I mean,
04:15obviously,
04:16because I'm professional player,
04:20and all my life I spend in tennis,
04:22of course,
04:22I'm looking at it as a professional.
04:25I'm not looking just for fun,
04:27or something.
04:32Hi Andre,
04:33congratulations.
04:35I know you've talked recently about,
04:36sort of,
04:37this project to evolve your game,
04:40and your way of playing.
04:42What's that project been like?
04:44Like, how difficult is it to try and,
04:46like, reprogram your instincts,
04:48as a tennis player?
04:51I mean,
04:52of course it's not easy.
04:54But,
04:55it's the same,
04:56it doesn't matter tennis or no tennis,
04:58it's everywhere,
04:59it's like this,
05:00it's like to change your habit.
05:02And,
05:02it takes time,
05:04it takes effort,
05:05it takes a lot of focus,
05:08and,
05:09of course,
05:09sometimes,
05:10in tennis,
05:11maybe it takes some sacrifices,
05:14because,
05:16let's say,
05:20most of the times,
05:21I don't know,
05:22when the score is tight.
05:23Of course,
05:24in the past,
05:25I would only hit forehand.
05:27I don't know.
05:28Now,
05:29sometimes,
05:30when even the score is tight,
05:31I start to do sometimes drop shots.
05:33On a tie break,
05:34I was able to hit an important score,
05:38forehand,
05:39really good opening the court,
05:41which I never really done before.
05:43So,
05:44of course,
05:45before those things happen,
05:48I miss a lot of them,
05:51and a lot of them I was doing in the wrong time,
05:53in the bad situations,
05:55and because of this,
05:57I was losing points.
05:58So,
05:58of course,
05:59it takes a lot of,
06:01kind of,
06:02yeah,
06:02sacrificing,
06:03I guess,
06:06especially in the beginning,
06:07and still,
06:08it is because I'm not doing this perfectly.
06:10It's just,
06:11sometimes,
06:11it starts to work,
06:12but I'm not the guy who is,
06:15like,
06:15you can say,
06:16wow,
06:16what are hands or what are drop shots he's doing.
06:20So,
06:21of course,
06:21still,
06:23there is a way to go.
06:25Did the idea to do that,
06:27the will to do that,
06:28did it come from you?
06:29Was it Marat?
06:30Was it a combination?
06:31From everyone,
06:33a combination of everyone,
06:34and of course,
06:35I guess,
06:36it doesn't matter what,
06:37everyone is telling you,
06:38if you're not ready,
06:39it's not gonna help.
06:41So,
06:41of course,
06:42also myself,
06:43I just,
06:43like,
06:44I kind of,
06:46admit,
06:47that,
06:47I need to change.
06:52Is it something that,
06:54um,
06:54people,
06:55around you,
06:56had suggested you before,
06:57to you in the past,
06:58but you hadn't,
06:59yeah,
07:00for sure,
07:00they will tell me,
07:01those things thousand times,
07:03before,
07:04but,
07:04I was not,
07:05at that time,
07:07ready to listen,
07:08maybe.
