00:00 What do you think about the Noak win?
00:03 It's fantastic. In my eyes, he's one of the all-time players to try to beat.
00:10 Today I was able to do it.
00:12 It's something I can remember for the rest of my life.
00:17 I'll tell my kids and grandkids when I'm getting older that I beat Noak one time.
00:26 It's a fantastic feeling.
00:30 Obviously, I hope I can play more times before...
00:37 No one knows how long he plans to play for.
00:39 Obviously, he's getting older, but he's still physically in good shape
00:45 and playing fantastic tennis.
00:47 It's always fun to play against him because it's one of the toughest challenges in our sport.
00:54 I'm super proud and happy to overcome it today.
00:57 Many things come into play when you play a tennis match.
01:01 Today, I've played a few more matches on clay than him this year already.
01:06 He hasn't played on clay since Roland-Garros last year.
01:09 He's maybe coming into the tournament a bit more rusty.
01:13 A few adjustments in his team.
01:16 There are many things that can be a reason why I was able to win today.
01:24 In terms of the game, it's a few points here and there.
01:27 I started great. I was up two breaks in the first set.
01:30 Then he came back and showed why he's the best.
01:34 He was toying with me, drop shot, moving me around.
01:36 I didn't really have any chance to play.
01:39 In the third set, it's open.
01:41 If you get a good start, like I did, it's a good thing.
01:43 Then he came back.
01:46 I told myself, "Try to go for it if you have the chance."
01:49 He did a few unforced errors, luckily for me.
01:52 Stefanos is a fantastic player on all surfaces.
01:55 But I think he's had more success in his career so far.
01:59 He won here two times.
02:00 Obviously, he's feeling comfortable here.
02:02 I think he lives here in Monaco.
02:05 It's a home tournament for him.
02:08 The last six, seven, eight months have not been perfect for him.
02:13 He fell out of the top ten.
02:15 Maybe he will be back now. I'm not sure after this week.
02:18 He's been a steady top ten, top five player for many years already.
02:23 He's always going to be a dangerous player.
02:26 It seems like he's back in good shape.
02:28 I'm going to have to expect the best version of Stefanos tomorrow.
