“What can I say? I like the sound of it – centurion is pretty nice, it’s a nice feeling to be a centurion History-making is great motivation, particularly in the last five to 10 years of my career. Once I got myself into a position to eventually make history, I was even more inspired to play the best tennis, and that’s what I’ve done. I was very fortunate early on in my career to encounter people who taught me and guided me to play the long shot, not burn out too quickly, to take care of my body and mind and try to have as long a career as possible. I’m blessed to be playing at this level and another win here tonight is a dream come true.”” he said after the match.
