He's a beast. 267 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,320 But then you start on the professional tour and then you lose, 268 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,400 and then you're like, 'OK, I wasn't good, actually.' 269 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,280 And then the real work starts. 270 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,080 And it's like, you have to, you know, be stronger physically, 271 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,400 because all of a sudden you play against guys that are experienced, 272 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,520 you know, have been there for a long time, 273 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,240 know how to win

00:15:53,680 people don't respect you the same way also. 277 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,920 So it's like, it's difficult, but, you know, 278 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,160 there is only one way, and it's to win. 279 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,160 So, when I played the Paris Masters final against Novak, 280 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,600 was a great match. 281 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,960 I told myself, you know, 'Playing Novak in the final, 282 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,720 I can't expect to win this match, I'm just gonna fight everything 283 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,720 to try to make it a match.' 284 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,000 Once I made it a match, I saw that I had a chance to win, 285 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,040 and I went for it. 286 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,640 (APPLAUSE) 'How about that?' 287 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,280 I was really in a fighting spirit in that match, 288 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,480 and that was really needed, because I was down, back against the wall, 289 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,880 so there was only one way, that was to give it all. 290 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,920 (APPLAUSE) 'That's an incredible dig.' 291 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,280 And then it was the biggest relief of my career, 292 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,160 when I won that last point. 293 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,760 (CROWD CHEERS) 294 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,200 'Quite remarkable conclusion 295 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,640 to a remarkable week in Paris.' 296 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,840 That was like a bomb in the tennis world. 297 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,400 I'm not saying nobody expected him to do well, because I think 298 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,960 a lot of people thought one day this guy is gonna be great, 299 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,240 but to explode like that, and Novak, who's the legend of the game 300 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,640 and who won three Grand Slams this year, and you beat him in the final, 301 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,800 in a crazy match, then you think, 302 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,720 'Wow, I'm ready to win a Grand Slam.' 303 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,600 'First Masters title for the teenager from Denmark.' 304 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,720 Now I don't know how good I can be, so now the real work starts. 305 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,320 When I am close to finish my career, I want to look back and say, 306 00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:39,160 'OK, I fulfilled everything I had inside of me,' 307 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,400 and why I work in the cold tennis court today. 308 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,920 CROFT: I think Holger Rune, he's not shy, 309 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,200 he, kind of, wears his heart on his sleeve, 310 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,200 and I think when you take on a big, high-profile name like Boris Becker, 311 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,400 it's just going to hype things up. 312 00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:10,640 And I think with Boris Becker, you know, 313 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,080 he was known as somebody who thrived on pressure. 314 00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:16,000 He won Wimbledon when he was 17. 315 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,080 (CROWD CHEERING) 316 00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:20,240 And then he retained the title the following year. 317 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,680 So, in many ways, that's quite a smart appointment. 318 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,760 It's super cool to work with Boris. 319 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,720 He helped me to get back on my good level, you know, 320 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,440 after a hard period over the summer. 321 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,720 I mean, the whole goal is to go to the next level, 322 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,880 and since then we've just been starting to build, 323 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,360 obviously a lot on the serve, as I can't hide. 324 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,440 When we're, you know, speaking about the things we need to improve, 325 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,760 we're both very open, and I think we're... 326 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,400 a good couple on the court. 327 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,560 For opponents to see what we call 'super coaches' in the corner, 328 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,240 it kind of adds a bit of extra weight on the sidelines. 329 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,480 So, that's something extra, isn't it, for players to think about. 330 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,640 "Oh, what's he learning from Boris Becker?" Or, you know, 331 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,000 "What extra things does this give him on the court mentally, 332 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,680 as much as it does tactically, and physically?" 333 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,280 I'm working on a lot of things. 334 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,040 I'm never gonna say what I'm working on, you'll see that hopefully. 335 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,200 It is very hard physically. 336 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,000 You know, it's a lot of discipline every day to be able to, you know, 337 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,080 wake up, do the same things, you know, you have to put in the hours. 338 00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:41,760 And, you know, some days you wake up, you feel great, and it's good. 339 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,400 Some days you don't feel great and you've gotta put in a great effort. 340 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,480 But just this is exciting, you know, because where is the limit? 341 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,360 And I think if you can reach your limit, I think it's exciting 342 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,400 to see how much you can win. 343 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,480 To become a champion, 344 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,240 you cannot be normal. 345 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,560 They have incredibly high expectations from themselves. 346 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,840 And they are driven. 347 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,720 FERRERO: Is it hard to sacrifice?
