“Do you all remember what I said after the Australian Open final? This story about me, about my childhood dreams. And today I want to speak on behalf of all the children of the world. They all have dreams, their life is just beginning. You have so many wonderful experiences to live through: your first friends, your first big emotions. Everything they feel and see is the first time in their lives.
Therefore I would like to ask for peace in the world, for peace between countries. Children are born with an innate trust in the world, they believe in everything: in people, in security and justice, in their chances in life. “Let’s unite and show them that it’s true, because no child in the world should stop dreaming.”
