“She gave me a lot of confidence. I always say that it’s the moment I made the proposal to her, that’s when I started to go up.

“It was at this moment – it was after Wimbledon – I was, I think, 65 or something like this, and at the end of the year, I was already 15.

“I mean, I made the best American swing I could have made last year, and it was only going up, and she does a lot for me in order for me to play better tennis.
