“I think it is a privilege for the tournaments to have the president of each country just to support the tournament, support tennis and support the match,” he said, via the Guardian. “For me, play in front of him … I will try not to think about it.
“I don’t want me to be nervous because of that, but I think that to attend the tennis match, it’s great for tennis to have the president in the final.”
