21st time here at the Australian Open, where you celebrated so many victories, 10 times
champion. You came here when you were 17. Isn't it incredible how you evolved, but also
the tournament evolved? I think you evolved better than the tournament, by the way.
Yeah. Thank you. Except my pants.
They're winter pants.
It is winter in Europe, right?
It is true.
Obviously, great to be back again to Australia. I think
we all know they call it the happy slam for a reason. We all are happy to start the season
again and fresh and hungry and motivated for more. Some more, some less, but I still have
motivation to push, push myself, push others, challenge others. I've done so well throughout
my career in this venue, particularly in the Rod Laver Arena. Hopefully, I can kickstart
the tournament in a good way, keep my body fit and healthy, and see how far it takes me.
Fresh and hungry, body healthy. How's the neck going? I have to talk about the neck.
It was a neck. Neck was a little bit of an issue, wasn't it? There was some...
No.
No? It was not?
No.
I thought that during a practice session, your physio came and he was bending your neck left
and right.
Massage.
Oh, just a little massage.
I like massage on and off the court.
So you're 100% fish?
I am. I'm 100% Mardi Fish for the Australian Open.
So what's the mindset going into this year's Australian Open? Is it to win it? And
what plans do you have to beat the likes of Sinner and Alcaraz?
I'm in it to win it, always.
Yeah, love it.
No doubt about that. Of course, the confidence is always there and
the self-belief. I cannot predict the future and know what's going to happen, but...
Who are you waving to?
Emma.
Emma. All right.
Yeah. I haven't seen her. But we know that, obviously, Sinner, Alcaraz, main favourites,
the guys are the dominant force of men's tennis now. But if you're there, if you enter the court,
you always have a chance, regardless who's across the net. And I always like my chances,
especially here.
You are the man who just turns back time, all the time, between us. What's the secret?
You know, I need a few rejuvenation tips as well. What is it?
Longevity, anti-age.
Yeah? Is that all you do? Cold bath, ice bath?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What can I do?
You can put this on.
Ah, yeah. There you go. There you go. Any creams you can recommend?
Yeah, for sure.
What? Retinol?
Yes, retinol.
Vitamin A?
Yeah, everything.
OK.
This man is ready. We need to have a closer chat or a more intense chat. But thanks a lot.
Non-tennis related questions.
Yeah, and change those pants next time. Thank you.
