Now I’m living my dream,” he tells the almost 15 thousand spectators of the plant, once the words as he did with his rival’s blows.
The king’s speech
–
“I start from Carlos – Sinner attacks in his winner on the pitch -: for another incredible tournament, but above all for the player you are. It is always difficult to face you: we have a great relationship off the pitch, we are trying to build something inside and for this you need great teams. Carlos, you will earth this trophy in hand many times … even if you already have two”, says almost forgetting that the Spanish precedes it. Then he tells his emotion: “I lost in a bad way in Paris – he admits with a smile – but does not count how you win or lose, in special tournaments you have to understand what you hurt and work on it. We tried to accept the defeat and it is one of the reasons why I won this trophy. I am grateful to be healthy and to have incredible people around. The entire last game I served very well. And I’m glad I kept the nerves calm. ” In Jannik, the unauthorized accident of the Champagne cap flew on the pitch is asked while he was about to serve. “It could only happen here in Wimbledon – he says with a smile – but that’s why I love playing here. It is a very expensive tournament. It sounds incredible to have become a member of this club (part of the privileges for the winner, editor’s note). I hope my career is still long and to go back to the end. But it is incredible”.
