– The motivation is very high, full, really. I feel that after last year I am just starting, eager to do things, to follow what I feel I need and that it does well, not what the rest tells me.

– Well, that is, I missed last year. I have only one semester, just what goes this year. The second half of the year could not compete. I don’t see it as a bad time. I lost with (Grigor) Dimitrov twice, with (Francisco) closing it, with (Arthur) Fils in Roland Garros. (Reilly) Opelka last week. I’m not playing badly, I don’t have it as a bad time.

Then I am looking for ways to work all the visible part of how the eye works, how the eye moves and how both eyes work together. And I’m seeing jobs for that.

I am someone who does things very well and who wants to be at the top of tennis. And not being able to be there is still an obstacle in itself to face. Accepting the ranking is also something that I have put focus. I have taken very positive things, such as learning to value and thank what I have with me. I cling strongly to that.
