New York food I'm very loyal to are you to Italian food so um yeah let's say most of the time I eat Italian food sometimes you know I I change it up with something else but uh yeah um most of the time Italian in outside of Italy would New York be one of the best places to get Italian food in the world yeah of course I mean there is uh a lot of restaurants there is a a good choice of of different Italian restaurants it's for sure New York one of the best one um also Miami is nice uh there are also some some good Italian places but uh yeah it's for sure on the top list okay you just came off let's give it up for yanic in winning Cincinnati just a few days ago how did that feel to have a win there the conditions were tough the courts are always fast you had a really great tournament yeah it's a different tournament it's very tough to to play in that place um you can build up the confidence day by day you know winning maybe the first couple of matches and then after it is it's a bit easier to play and because your confidence level is a bit higher here it's a bit different um but yeah I'm just uh just enjoying every single moment on the court which I guess is the most important and and uh and yeah so let's see what what comes here in this beautiful tournament okay so yannet comes here as the world's number one we've seen the Kota Boys The Traveling Italian fan group at many of your tournaments do we think that they're coming to New York are the corota boys going to be here that's a good question usually they they surprise me so let's see uh I do I do remember that they were sitting up there where where up there um there were chases they had a strangely one of the best spots in the in the whole stadium so let's see if they come this year all right we've got Blair Henley as part of our team here and Blair I think you found a fan with the question for y I did this fan said I have a question for yanic so I'm very excited to hear what it is what is your name my name is Stephen how old are you Stephen I'm 22 and are you a tennis player absolutely all right absolutely here is your question this is your moment how do you think skiing has impacted your tennis skiing how is ski yanuk was a champion skier as a kid how has it impacted your tennis it's has impacted me quite a lot um everyone says because of the balance but I feel like it has impact me more about the mental side because you have a completely different mentality by by skiing um I was just very happy to to be able to make a different uh H different sport and you know in skin you make one mistake you just can't win the race anymore in ten is you can make loads of mistakes and and still win uh the match so uh then gives you a little bit more also from a from an emotional side so um yeah so SK is a nice sport though I love that all right well we've got a hat for you thank you so much that was awesome well done let's hear for Stephen thank you Stephen very much we've only got one time for one more question with yanic I want to ask you as you've become world number one you're grand slam Champion I think you're a household name now in Italy what's been the funnest I know that it comes with a lot of expectation maybe some pressure but what's been a fun part about being able to see your success off the court too oh that's a good question uh me I was I'm always I I don't think I have changed a lot with with the success I always treat the people in uh in the same way as as I did when I was yeah when I was not this what I am right now and uh and I think this really appreciate know the people because it's it's I always say success should never change the way you are and then then then the way you treat people so um for sure they they people see me in a different way thiss um but you know they they give me a lot of strength especially when when I'm passing difficult time and uh and yeah so I'm very grateful to have fans Not only Italy but throughout the whole the whole world and um I think that is also the the most important okay well we've got got to teach these fans when they're cheering you on what do they say they say Forza Forza Forza yanx give it up everyone
