That's some nice positive thinking, GO GUGA!!!
Thanks for sharing Gugas words
It's good to hear his opinion of the match and his form. Good luck for his second match

He’s such a pure, class act. In other words, he’s humble. Yet he does not need to be.

I totally agree He has nothing to prove anymore after all his success and what he gave to tennis, but it is great to see that he still fights, wants to compete with other players and tries to come back step by step.
Good luck for the new tournament, Guga
