Two weeks after his elimination in the knockout stages of Wimbledon against Jannik Sinner.
Recently, he gave his statements on the best player where he said, “I don’t think I’m the best player right now, Novak has won Wimbledon, Rafa Roland Garros and Australia, so there are a lot of great players ahead of me right now. I didn’t take it as pressure. It’s just motivation for me. In 2022, I learned how I have to play against the best players in the world, in big stadiums and in important moments. I learned how to deal with pressure, how to deal with nerves in big games, now I feel much more mature in that aspect,” as per WeloveTennis.
