Sometimes you want to go, I don’t know, to [the] circus. Sometimes you want to, what else do you want to? You want to become maybe a flower guy, you know,” he explained, reeling off some unconventional jobs.
“You never know. At this time my parents were giving me a lot of opportunities and somehow with tennis, it kind of clicked together. We started playing tournaments, I started practising more. My father wanted me to play, I think I liked it myself. But if it would be only me deciding, I think after one defeat I would say, Okay, bye.”
