00:00Yeah, I mean, today was definitely different than any other match here or that I've played
00:08ever because of the circumstances.
00:12But yeah, I think that I was really trying to go in with the right mindset, especially
00:18like the last 24 hours, really preparing myself more mentally than physically for today.
00:24And yeah, I'm really pleased with the way I was able to go into it and perform.
00:29Great.
00:31The 12th of July, you were sobbing your heart out.
00:34How have you turned it all around to have smiles like today and what you've achieved?
00:43Well, honestly, it was just like on the court that I was really crying that much, maybe
00:53like 30 minutes afterwards.
00:55But then I got on the phone with someone and I kind of just like laughed it off.
00:59I was like, yeah, this is insane.
01:02But I don't know.
01:04I feel like I was really able to bounce back from it really quickly.
01:08And maybe a few years ago, I wouldn't have done the same as well as I have this time.
01:15But yeah, it's definitely nothing I've ever experienced before.
01:21I never lost 6-0, 6-0.
01:23And then to lose 6-0 in a Grand Slam final was a lot to experience.
01:29But today, I'm just really, really proud of myself.
01:35I feel like I really made a point to myself and also maybe to other people that like if
01:42you really put a positive mindset out there or I don't know, just try and work through
01:48things, then, you know, you can have a positive outcome.
01:51And I feel like I was really able to do all the right things.
01:54So I'm really happy.
01:56It still feels a bit surreal for sure.
02:00It's the farthest I've gone by far at the U.S. Open.
02:03And it's extremely special.
02:05Like today is definitely the most meaningful victory I've had in my life.
02:12And yeah, I mean, I have that belief in myself and that confidence that I'm able to play at
02:18the top level and I'm able to really go head to head with, you know, these top three.
02:23And everyone who's, you know, in the top 10, I've shown that.
02:27And I think I was able to prove that to myself time and time again for a long time now.
02:33But yeah, I mean, it's just it's really competitive these days.
02:36And also the Grand Slams are really tough.
02:39So I'm just really pleased to make it this far for the first time.
