“First of all, Novak what are you still doing here. Jokes apart, third final, maybe not the last. You are probably going to be here for many more. I don’t know when you are going to slow down. 24, I mean, congrats to your team. 2 years ago, when I won, I was like what a great anniversary gift for my wife. It is funny because dates usually change. But today is Sunday, it didn’t happen”, he said.
“I want to thank my team, first of all for being there for many years. Hopefully guys, we can do one more this step or more than one more time. Everybody, my family and my supporters, it is sometimes tough and sometimes happy. Thanks a lot guys”, he further added.
