00:00Coco a tough one out there today. Just give us your overall thoughts on the match and how Alina played today.
00:08Yeah, she played really well. And unfortunately, usually when people raise their level, I'm able to raise mine.
00:15And today I just, I didn't do that. So I have to, like, figure out how not to do that again.
00:23Thank you. Questions, if you could raise your hand, please. Right here, David.
00:26Hi there, Coco. As you said, she played very well today, but this wasn't your best day.
00:32When did you realize it's not happening for me at the moment?
00:37And I imagine there's a process of trying to make it happen, but was it clear to you that it wasn't quite there today?
00:44Yeah, I mean, like, mid-second set, I feel like sometimes you lose a set 6-1, it's like, okay, whatever, like, reset.
00:52And then, like, 3-0, I mean, I was glad to get that game.
00:56And I don't know, I just felt like all the things that I do well, I just wasn't doing well today.
01:02The backhand wasn't firing, forehand wasn't really firing, returns.
01:06There was just a lot that didn't go well today.
01:09And I credit it to her because she forced me to play like that.
01:14It's not like I just woke up and, yeah, today was a bad day.
01:17But, you know, bad days are often caused by your opponents, so she did well.
01:23And, yeah, usually I'm able to kind of scrap out at least to make the scoreline tighter.
01:29And then you never know, nerves can come up on her, something like that.
01:33And today I just wasn't able to do that.
01:35After the match, there was a video of you breaking your racket off the court.
01:38It happens.
01:40I'm bummed you.
01:40It's like, have you done that before?
01:43And how much did you need?
01:43Yeah, I tried to go somewhere where there was no cameras.
01:47Yeah, I kind of feel like I have a thing with the broadcast.
01:50I feel like certain moments, the same thing happened to Irina after I played her final U.S. Open.
01:54I feel like they don't need to broadcast.
01:56I tried to go somewhere where I thought there wasn't a camera because I don't necessarily like breaking rackets,
02:01but I lost one and two.
02:03I broke one racket on court, quarters, I think, or round 16 of French Open, I think.
02:08And I said I would never do it again on court because I don't feel like that's a good representation.
02:12But, yeah, I tried to go somewhere where they wouldn't broadcast it.
02:18But, obviously, they did.
02:19So, yeah, maybe some conversations we can be had because I feel like at this tournament,
02:24the only private place we have is the locker room.
