“You have to imagine this: Miro played his first tournament in 2002 – when I was just 10 years old.
“Just by his international experience, he is a huge role model for me. I can learn a lot from him – and will continue to do so. In training we've talked a few times.
“He tells me what I can and must do better. He helps me hugely. Miro is just a super guy.”
