"Big plan is to be there [in Japan] for the Olympics. You know this is for me the big one. Maybe selfishly for me, it has not been a bad thing it was actually moved a little, you know because of the problems I had last year."

He concluded by saying:

"It was a big shock for all of us when Wimbledon pulled out because of the pandemic and then Tokyo Olympics shortly after that was moved. Let’s hope for the best for the Olympic Games coming to Tokyo next year, this is also one of my big goals. I really hope I can come back to Tokyo for that."
