Also, he acknowledged waiting “with great anticipation” for the start of the tournament and noted that he has “experience” in the ATP finals format, so it will help him “in some ways.”

From the first game you have to have a very high intensity, so each of us is trying to prepare as much as possible. best possible. But we also try to enjoy these few days before the tournament starts,” he said.
“I’m motivated and I really want a challenge. I think the intensity is going to be very high, from the blocks I have to concentrate as if I were playing finals. Every game is going to be like this”, he concluded.
