"I'm very grateful to be able to play at this level after many years. Obviously, it's a team effort, it's a family effort, regardless of the fact that this is an individual sport. A lot of hours go into the preparation to be able to perform. I am flattered and excited to be among the biggest names in the sport, Steffi Graf among them, he added.
