00:00We're such a patriotic people. I've never met a Filipino that's not proud to be Filipino.
00:07I feel that's part of our community, that's just part of who we are.
00:10And especially me or other athletes when we're competing in these international stages.
00:16What you don't realize is where you come from is such a big part of who you are.
00:20So every time you step out on the court, there's always going to be a flag next to your name.
00:24It's always going to relate to your identity.
00:27So I think it's so important and a part of loving yourself is loving where you come from and being proud of it.
00:33Of higher ranked players and Grand Slam champs, could you share what lesson from those players made a mark on you?
00:43I think more than what lesson I learned from them is what I learned about myself when I play them.
00:50So I learned my tics, I learned what keeps me going, I learned how to manage my nerves, and I learned to be brave.
00:57And be channel the boss, like try to be the boss of court.
01:02Working on a lot of aspects of my game individually and this year, talagang nag-click for one.
01:09For example, it was my fitness. So I'm more fit now, I'm more fit in court.
01:16And the level is being able, I'm able to maintain the level for a longer period of time.
01:22That's why sometimes I can hang with these top players.
01:26And the movement, also part of that, my forehand.
01:30So everything, little adjustments and everything.
01:33And this year, major league players.
01:35There's still a lot for me to achieve.
01:38I think there are a lot of big tournaments lined up, not just the US Open.
01:42So I hope to play well there.
01:45And of course, try to get my first Grand Slam main to go with.
01:49And then after that, I'll be searching back to Asia.
01:52So playing near home will be nice.
01:54What other international tournaments or competitions are lined up for you after Wimbledon and the US Open?
02:02Right now, what's lined up for me before US Open, I go to Canada, Montreal, and then Cincinnati, and Monterey.
02:10And then of course, New York.
02:12And after that, like I said, we shift to Asia.
02:14So there will be a few around China.
02:17I know there's one in Hong Kong in October.
02:19And yeah, around, you know, closer to home.
02:23So if anyone wants to come.
02:25Okay, tickets available at the various websites.
02:53We don't have any other websites at the Pacific.
02:54We don't have time to come.
02:55You're right here then, get it home.
02:56We'll be being here when there's an occupation.
02:57Tell us about the många, the building's store.
02:58We'll be doomed in retail.
02:59All right.
03:01iffer Stephen Steve is the beginning of thatentarac.
03:04I just hope won't solve it.
03:05You.
03:06No, I don't have time to do all the problem.
03:08But there's not the problem.
03:09It doesn't have time to go with some starboardyan planet.
03:10Are there any other people that are not the most vulnerable?
03:12But there's not some people that enjoy it,
03:15Earth don't move.
03:16And it seems that way the use of them to shift.
03:18It took several dimensions to come.
