Q. How do you explain that Swiss tennis right now in the juniors is so strong? What makes you guys so strong?

DOMINIC STEPHAN STRICKER: Yeah, I think because we're actually four players who are pretty strong at the moment. Yeah, it's great to practice together, so I think we can push each other.

That's, of course, a big help for me actually to play with them. I know they're, yeah, the top juniors. It's just amazing to practice with them every day actually, yeah.

Q. You practiced with Roger Federer in January. Anything specific he said to you that you should improve or change or keep doing?
