In the past I won with him – he continues as soon as the match is over – but every match has its own story. I'm happy with the victory, but it was difficult. We have similar tennis, to Sometimes it feels like a ping-pong match. Sometimes I try to vary it and I'm happy with the result. I'm not always cold, but I try to show little emotion when I lose a point. But I'm annoyed, sure. I put on a poker face. It's fun to play, try to compete and raise the level when conditions get tough. Rublev or De Minaur? I'm a tennis fan, I'll watch the match. If Alex wins the crowd will be a factor, but it's part of the game. When I play in Italy everyone cheers for me. I can't wait to play, it will be complicated: I will face it with a smile.”
