It's noise that you hear from the sides. I don't really recognise that.
I think I played a fantastic season and again I think we have
a new generation, new wave of players coming up
and this year was the year where they all went from 20,
25 in the world to being top 10.
So I think the rankings just changed so much and I think the players
that I faced, that are here now, I have a good record against them.
I definitely think I had the best season out of everybody.
Anybody?
I think out of respect, you have to take into consideration that,
yes, Yannick has been injured since Wimbledon.
There's no question about it.
And Carlos has been injured for a little bit of time this year as well.
I think at Grand Slams, which are the biggest tournaments in the world,
and this is what I always try to achieve
and this is what my aim was this year.
I was the best player in the world for sure.
I won two of them, made semis of another one,
was one service game away from making the final there
and was in the final Wimbledon as well. So
Grand Slams, yes, for sure.
Masters events, no question that Yannick, he's won the first five.
He hasn't lost a match this year
when he played a Masters event. But I think
taking everything in consideration, it's about having the best season
and the best 12 months and I think I've had the best 12 months.
In Paris there was a lot going on you know
when you know that you're becoming world number one
but then when you actually get to that spot I think there's
a lot of that just goes on top of
you and I was quite exhausted I couldn't focus
on tennis in tennis in Paris I was like so much going
on I didn't really have the focus on the game
and I felt really different today I felt a lot of joy
being out there I felt quite light you know
in Paris I felt heavy I felt light I felt like
I had control over my body and I definitely enjoyed the tennis today.
