\"These last couple years have been really big for me and I've been working on myself,\" he said. \"I think that's most important, to be able to find your person is to be ready yourself, and I feel good.\"

As for what fans can expect from the season 28 premiere when the 32 women arrive to meet him, Graziadei teased \"a lot of cool entrances\" and \"a lot of tennis puns.\"

\"I think the biggest part is it's supposed to show your personality and I love when they do that,\" he said. \"When I was in their position, I tried to do something very simple because it felt more like me.\"

\"The Bachelor\" season 28 starring Joey Graziadei premieres Monday, Jan. 22, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, streaming the next day on Hulu.
