00:00I was so inspired by Layla, she had a great summer, winning DC, playing incredible here, both in the doubles, lucky for me, and also in the singles, I mean, that match she played could have gone any way in the singles, I was watching every point, screaming at the TV, it was nuts.
00:21So I really got so much confidence playing with her, having an opportunity to play more matches in the doubles, and it was just an amazing experience to be able to do that.
00:37I think I was never out of love with the game, I don't know, I never had to think about if I loved the game, I was always playing, so it's part of my DNA, but clearly like to be out here grinding.
00:51At this point, there has to be a little love, right? But I don't remember the rest of the question, sorry.
00:58Will you focus more on one or the other one?
01:02I think out there, Layla and I, we kept telling each other to be the best singles players we could be, so our focus will always be singles, and I'm not going to suddenly become a doubles player, I never did, I never will.
01:12It's the singles for me.
01:15Willie?
01:15Singles is for you. What do you see, now that you've enjoyed everything so much, ahead for you?
01:24Yeah, I think after this tournament, I can really see where I want to improve, what I can work on, and yeah, I think that it's all great feedback.
01:37But also, I had a lot of chances to play a lot of matches here, which is what I would desperately need to get better, so I saw myself improving so much with every match I was playing.
01:50So, in a lot of ways, we just ran out of time. I wish I could have played better today for Layla, and I blame myself for a lot of it.
01:57You know, I just wasn't there, and I think with a few matches, I could have been a stronger partner today.
02:03But we played a great team. They've been playing together for years.
02:05They've had a lot of success, and they just had a little bit more time to pull it all together than we did, and we wish them luck.
02:15I don't know. I was so focused on this tournament here, and I really felt like we had a chance to really continue to play into the tournament.
02:24So, I haven't given that any thought.
02:26I do have commitments, you know, stuff I said, places I said I'd be, people expecting me to be there, like, the next few weeks.
02:36So, I have to go and show up, but I'm very serious about my commitments.
02:42I would never want to cancel now, so I'll try to keep those, and if there's an opportunity for me to play,
02:48then hopefully I can get back somewhere this year.
02:51I just don't know. I really don't.
02:56I just don't know.
