“I had the opportunity to see you a few years ago for the very first time when you first got introduced on the ATP Tour and I saw you play a little bit. Some of us guys that were here a little bit earlier than you, I think most of us were fascinated by your tennis. I would like to congratulate you on this amazing build that you’ve been putting in the last few years. It’s very impressive."
