"I always thought it was really special that he was a former ski racer and that's obviously where we connected. He's a pretty shy guy, but he's really humble and always super kind."
"I think he has just a great perspective on the sport and I think to a degree, some of that comes from skiing. We've talked about it quite a few times."
"He's just a great athlete, very smart and I'm not surprised that he won Australia. I thought he would win before he did, but he's someone that's going to be around for a long time. And he really reminds me of Roger, to be honest."
"If he's under pressure, and he's got to serve, he's got match point or something, the perspective is that if he misses the point, nothing is going to happen. It's not like in skiing, where if you don't take the turn right, you crash, and you could potentially hurt yourself very badly."
"So it's the kind of fearlessness that he puts everything out there no matter what the situation. And that perspective, I think, is really different from most people, most athletes, and I think he uses that to his advantage."
