“When I arrived in 2018, the game was really different from today, it wasn’t as physical. I have already won matches against Novak (Djokovic) where I had the feeling of playing well but not necessarily of seeking the most extreme version of myself in terms of intensity. Today the game really shifted towards that”estimated the current 12^e world player in comments reported by Eurosport.
