“If there was a tennis tournament in the universe, the Earth would choose you: how cool would that be? Enjoy it, you’re wonderful for this sport,” says Agassi. “Congratulations, Jannik. You have achieved the maximum goal. You must be proud as Italy surely will be. I couldn’t be happier for you, you are a great player and a wonderful person”, says Federer. The video features Andy Murray and Guga Kuerten, up to John McEnroe. “I wear a t-shirt that says ‘I’m never wrong’,” says the American champion. “You are immensely classy, welcome to the club. I’m sure the Italians will go crazy,” he adds. “In 1973, when the ATP ranking was created, becoming number 1 was the most important thing. Jannik, you are number 1”, Bjorn Borg’s investiture. “Congratulations, I hope you manage to stay number 1 longer than me. It won’t be difficult, I was number 1 for a week…”, Pat Rafter’s irony.
