Peter Johnston

He's 29.

So he's sort of been a decade of being kind of like a top 10 player.

It feels like he's got the complete game, but maybe not the mental side of things.

Or am I being harsh because of the players that are playing at the same time as he is through this era?

Well, that era and this era has been extraordinary and it has just needed a little window to open at the top.

Like, you know, there was that one window when you mentioned US Open finally served for the match against Dominic Thiem.

And, you know, he was sort of... They were the last two standing then.

But, you know, like, how close was he really in Australia?

Like, if Alcaraz, you know, he was kind of cramping a little bit.

And then, you know... And it's just been those guys, and it just needed something...

for him to break through.

But as a player, I think he's meticulous in his preparation.

He's got a strong team with his dad and his brother.

Like there's no shortcuts for these guys and, and they're battle hardened.

Um, interesting.

Like he's a big guy and he plays a lot from the back.

Um, people who may have watched it, like he's standing, you know, six meters behind the baseline to return serve.

And so it's such a big guy.

It's amazing how much he's played at the back court.

But I think the last couple of years, he's just looked to try and get in that more.
