00:00I feel like today I was just for the first time in a while where my nerves really got the better of me and it kind of became a little bit paralyzing.
00:24I felt like I was just slow. I wasn't seeing things the way that I wanted to, which I feel like resulted in a lot of bad decisions and lazy footwork.
00:35So I feel like that's kind of the summary.
00:41It's hard, obviously. I've had a lot of success. I've probably won the most matches I've ever won in a year.
00:48But then losing today, and I think it's more so like the way that I played today, it kind of sucks.
00:58But I think big picture, again, if you told me at the beginning of the year what I was signing up for, I would obviously say yes.
01:09So that's allegedly the beauty of the sport.
01:13I think the difficult part of sports is that you can't ever recreate a scenario as hard as we try to.
01:30And I had, you know, a lot of time at home, training.
01:37Like I just had a really great offseason where I was able to kind of build, have a base and not only on the court, but mentally.
01:46And I feel like as the year has gone on and on and on, there's been a lot of matches.
01:51There hasn't been a lot of time to like actually reset and have training blocks and just have time where you're not competing to really kind of get back to life.
02:05And like the real balance of it all.
02:07So I feel like it was a lot easier at the beginning of the year because it's the start of the year.
02:13Everything is fresh.
02:15And now it's, I feel like there's been moments where you've been on the road longer.
02:21You've played a lot of matches.
02:22You haven't had a lot of days off.
02:25It's just those are kind of the days where things are just a little bit harder.
02:28And I think that those are kind of the times when your bad habits are the ones that kind of rear their head.
02:42You haven't had a lot.
