00:00Yes Well, the most important thing is to play with the racket
00:04I was going through the first step
00:06And then after that
00:08Maybe it probably relaxed me going into the match
00:11Because it's just such a funny thing
00:14Yeah, so I was just happy to get through today
00:16And I remember my rackets for next time
00:18Usually, I'm very nervous
00:20I was a little bit today
00:21But I think it was just the least nervous I've been
00:24Heading into the first round of the Grand Slam
00:26And then the whole racket situation
00:28I think just took a load off too so yeah I think yeah I wasn't nervous today it was I knew the
00:35conditions were going to be difficult so it's kind of one of those matches I went into knowing
00:39it wasn't going to be pretty tennis all the time so I think it just with that mindset going in it
00:44just makes you feel better necessarily when you aren't winning the points the way you kind of want
