now congratulations on the win thanks for spending some time with us uh so a bit of a different situation for you you leave the match yesterday down two sets to one but up 54 in the fourth so so what's your approach how do you how do you go to bed with that and what are you thinking today well I experience already here at wion one third round uh the same no I was two sets up h on a break and then I finally won in fifth Okay so after that I didn't want to think much I just wanted to to speak my co to my coach the things I could improve a little bit and and that's it no what will happen will happen so I just thought that that was quite a reaction when you won the match a lot of emotion and people that follow tennis know you've been through a lot in many different ways in the last 5 years or so what was that emotion about when you won that match today well I had a really bad injury last year uh that uh I I I fracture my one bone in the leg and I was out for a lot of time and well it was a lot of work behind that and H I didn't get the the the present no the the the big result uh I think I deserve it and today was was the day do do you want to I mean it's just cuz it's such an unusual ual non-sports injury do do you want to tell people briefly what happened with that injury well I fell down from my horse I was spending a good time at home and it was a a very bad very bad luck you own seven horses right or have you added more to the mix a bit more how many do you have now have I lost I think I have 12 or 13 okay because uh I had four new newborns this year so that's beautiful it's growing in addition to horses you also have a child I'm curious how becoming a father last year how is becoming a father impacted your career uh well it's uh I had a a very bad things in in my life my father's passed away and I wanted to to feel the family and talking to my wife uh we all wanted to to have a child and he will become four years old in September and my wife is pregnant so oh congratulations conations it's uh it's very nice that's great now before you had the family Roberto I do want to take people back to 2019 when you made the semi-finals here and there was a bachelor party planned in Aiza and and you were here tell tell everybody the story it was very funny because I didn't know in English what was meaning bachelor party and the the press in the at the pr at the press conference the guy told me um something about bachelor party and I didn't understand so at the end was was funny because uh uh my friends were in IA were expecting uh me to win or to lose and then I could bring all they were there then I could bring uh them here to to see and to share with me maybe one of the best moments of my career at the center court that day and at night we were in after the match against novad just after the match that was that was five years ago you reached the semis here you are age 36 you're back into week two you have more wins at Wimbledon than at Rolland Garis why is grass such a nice surface for you well uh I was uh having a good record at rangar Ros but uh I I was not very happy with the last uh in the last years with the conditions were very very very slow for for my game and maybe the record improve a bit more uh at wimon and I'm enjoying a lot playing here you know well congratulations on multiple fronts I mean being back here healthy all the work you put in to get to this point a lot and to you and your wife on uh new baby on the way great stuff hope to see you again soon thanks a lot
