00:00 What is the biggest challenge for you?
00:03 It's so easy to fix your mind on something that gets bigger,
00:10 but there is nothing in fact.
00:12 It's just, OK, sometimes it's just a question of time.
00:15 You will play so many matches in five sets,
00:19 and of course if you think about what you have to do,
00:22 if you fight when you have to fight,
00:24 yeah, of course you will win these matches.
00:29 It's not... I mean, unless the player and the coach
00:34 are able to find, OK, at that time I had this thought,
00:38 and this thought comes back all the time,
00:43 and at that moment I feel that I lose my concentration,
00:47 my game or something like this.
00:49 But it was not such a scenario with Daniel.
00:53 So it's just, OK, don't keep this in mind and play,
00:56 and you will see that you will win some fifth sets.
01:00 How much of a mystery is Daniel Medvedev to you still?
01:04 Because you just said you're watching him solve the situation
01:09 in some miraculous way and so on.
01:12 What do you say to that?
01:13 Well, I don't know if it's a mystery,
01:15 because when I see a match like this,
01:17 I always think it's possible with him.
01:19 Because first of all, I know that no matter what,
01:24 he's searching a solution all the time, all the time.
01:31 So I have this confidence.
01:35 Also, he wants to win so much.
01:40 So both of these parts make me feel that he always...
01:46 he still has a chance in any situation.
01:49 After, the mystery is more sometimes when I ask him some questions
01:55 about his game on court, about what he put his concentration on,
02:00 or when he missed, what he could do.
02:03 And the answer he gives me makes me feel like, wow,
02:09 I'm talking to the number three in the world.
02:12 He was number one. He won Grand Slam.
02:14 And I have the feeling that I'm talking to a teenager.
02:20 That's the mystery sometimes. Yeah.
