“Like, no one would be surprised or everyone would understand if he kind of shut it down this year, right? No, like he is hungry and hungrier than ever.

“I thought it was going to be the opposite after the US Open. I thought he’d maybe try to shut it down then gear up for Australia. No, look what he’s doing. It’s pretty amazing.”
