Paired duo with Emma Navarro on US Open
“To be honest, everything happened completely unexpectedly. I didn’t even know Emma until yesterday, we didn’t communicate before. The organizers suggested that us play together, and I am glad to go with her to the court. This is something new, and, I think, it will be interesting for fans to see such an unusual combination. It is always a pleasure to see the leading individuals participate in paired tournaments. ”

“I planned it for a long time, and it was possible to realize during those three months when I could not play. It was the perfect moment for filming because there was free time.

In addition, he is a wonderful person – he treated me very warmly. ”
“Reboot” after the finals Rolan Garros
“I’m ready to play. What was in the past, and now all is well. Mentally I feel great. Halle had everything differently-then there was no time to recover, but now it’s behind. I read a lot of thoughts about what a high level of game was in that finale, and for me it is a great honor. I work a lot and in good shape on the grass, I hope I can show it on the court. ”
Setting up with Marko Panica’s physical training coaches and Uisess Badio
“Nothing crazy happened. After Halle, I just wanted to make changes to the team – I felt that it would be better. It did not affect me, I am ready for the competition. We worked well together, I am very grateful to them for everything, but I felt that I needed something else. In my case, it happened, and add nothing more here. ”
Difficulties on grass
“The hardest thing for me is the movement because it is extremely important for a tennis player. If someone is moving well – he is already a good player. So I see it from the outside. The grass should be well closed all the court, which is more difficult, because you need to improvise in all aspects. The style of playing the grass is very different. ”
