00:00Yeah, I definitely had a bit of a slow start, but it's not really a bad thing.
00:09I just haven't played a lot of matches, so I'm still finding, you know, everything.
00:17I think I had a love 40 game and I was like, oh no, not a double break.
00:22So, thankfully that was avoided, at least in that set.
00:26And, you know, I was really able to start to dial in into my game.
00:33And I didn't win today, but I'm very proud of how I played.
00:37I don't think I've ever had a crowd that much on my side.
00:41Like, you know, when I lost those first two games, like, they were just still right there with me.
00:45Like, every point, didn't matter if I was losing and it was starting to, like, roll fast.
00:49They were just right there with me and it felt great.
00:52I mean, I knew going into this match that people in this stadium, people in the United States, people around the world were really rooting for me.
01:00And that felt great.
01:03That felt great to have that kind of support.
01:07Are there any tournaments in the States?
01:10Can someone move a tournament here?
01:12I don't know that I'm willing to travel that far at this stage in my career to go play.
01:19I mean, I love playing and the love of my game has come up so much since D.C.
01:25I tried as hard as I could to throw off any rust.
01:29But at the end of the day, there's only so much that can really be accomplished in, you know, three or four matches.
01:35And, you know, there were just some shots I missed that, you know, those kind of shots are about feel and less about training.
01:43And those are the kinds of things that I just couldn't stave off today.
01:47You know, I had a lot of returns.
01:48I was right there.
01:49And it's just, it's, you know, it's about the reps.
01:52And so those are things that I just, you know, I couldn't do today.
01:57It wasn't my fault.
01:59The best way I can put it.
02:01Ben.
02:05The best way I can put it.
