01:01At two sets to love down, what were you telling yourself that helped you to get back into things?
01:10Actually, I was not even believing myself.
01:13I mean, it was tough to play against him in the heat.
01:16He was destroying me.
01:18I mean, if I hit it hard, the ball was coming back harder.
01:23And if I go it higher, he was just doing drop shots and going aggressive.
01:30I think I just stayed.
01:33I mean, I just stayed focusing on point by point, not focusing that I had three more sets to win.
01:41And I was just thinking, I mean, let's stay, let's stay.
01:44I mean, I figured out he was a little bit more tired and that gave me a little bit more
01:50hope.
01:50And, yeah, I think just stayed.
01:53And, yeah, fourth set, when I won the fourth set, I was already tired and the fifth set was all
01:59hard.
02:00I couldn't even think.
02:01I was just trying to go.
02:03And, yeah, I think, yeah, when I won the third set, I started believing a little bit.
02:13So now Yannick Sinner is out and Djokovic is out.
02:17How far do you think realistically you can go?
02:19And are you thinking about this now?
02:22Well, it's my first fourth round in my career.
02:27I'm just thinking about my next match.
02:29The guys are still playing.
02:31And for now, I'm just enjoying the moment.
02:34You know, I think just 10 minutes after the match, I could realize a little bit what I did, what
02:40I achieved, how difficult it was and how amazing it was for me.
02:45And, but, yeah, I'm just in the fourth round.
02:48Of course, Yannick and Djokovic are out.
02:51There's more chances for the guys there are more time on tour, like Sasha Kasper or whatever.
02:59And, you know, I'm just focusing match by match.
03:02For me, it was a great achievement just being able to play my first time run of 16.
03:08And I'm just going to enjoy the moment.
03:14Well done, Yannick.
03:16You've always had lots of different tools, but sometimes you haven't mixed them up so well, as you have said
03:26yourself, and made the right decisions and the right shots at the right time.
03:31How did you find the right balance today between the power and the touch and figure out sort of what
03:39tools would work in the right moment?
03:43I think Djokovic knows how to handle really, really well with rhythm.
03:50And it's difficult to play against him because it just, like, feels that he's putting the ball where he wants.
03:58And sometimes the ball is slow and goes deep, and you need to keep with your footwork and need to
04:04go hard.
04:06And, man, the guys just don't give up at any time.
04:10He's still, like, I don't know, 39, 40, and I feel like he's 20, and it's just unbelievable.
04:19And, like I said, in the first two sets, it was difficult for me.
04:24I was trying to do something, but nothing was going well.
04:31I mean, I was missing some opportunities that I had, missing some easy shots.
04:36And I think in the third set, I started putting a little bit more of deep returns and going more
04:41aggressively with margin.
04:45Became a little bit more solid and conducting a little bit more the points.
04:54Is that right?
04:55Yeah, constructing a little bit more, better the points.
04:59I think, yeah, staying a little bit more aggressive with more consistency.
05:07And, yeah, because in the beginning, he was doing a lot of drop shots.
05:11Every time he was aggressive, he did drop shots.
05:13And, yeah, he was commanding the point pretty well, and for me, it was difficult.
05:19And, yeah, I think that was the main point.
05:22I think trying to be more aggressive in the returns and plus one.
05:26And same in the serves.
05:27I mean, he was returning.
05:29His return is unbelievable.
05:32So, for me, it was difficult to hold my serve.
05:35So, yeah, I think I felt him a little bit more tired, and that gave him more hope to keep
05:44finding the solutions in the game.
05:47One more minute.
05:48Hello, Jao.
05:49Congratulations.
05:50An incredible match.
05:52I wanted to ask, how much does the love of the Brazilian crowd mean to you, especially when they chant
05:56your name, and how are you planning to celebrate tonight?
06:01Celebrate?
06:02Sleeping?
06:06And, yeah, the Brazilian crowd was great today.
06:09I mean, they were there to support, for sure.
06:15But, yeah, I think, I mean, the atmosphere on court was great.
06:20The vibe was unreal.
06:21And I was just enjoying it.
06:23I mean, every big point, for him or for me, the crowd was going crazy, and it was an amazing
06:33vibe.
06:33And, for sure, their support meant a lot for me to keep believing and to keep fighting.
06:40And then the fifth set was crucial because it was all hard for me and for him, I think.
