00:30I don't know, I'm happy.
00:34Ben?
00:34I just mentioned that point.
00:36What are you thinking about that point at this point?
00:39I mean, there's one thing to be like, oh, why play a drop shot?
00:43But then I also think about how many points I won off the drop shot.
00:47So it's like, yes, people who don't watch tennis are going to be like,
00:51why did you do that?
00:53But at the end of the day, it's like, that's the choice I made.
00:56Was it the right one in that moment?
00:58Maybe not, but then also if I make it, everyone's going to say how clutch of a shot that was.
01:03So I think that's just tennis.
01:05You lose some points off margins.
01:08Honestly, the return came back like in a tricky place for me,
01:12and I didn't expect it to – kind of the bounce caught me off guard,
01:15so I just panicked a little bit.
01:18But I think it just takes moments like this to learn from
01:21and have a more of a clear, concise plan of what I want to do.
01:24But at the end of the day, I left it all out there.
01:28And my only regret, I think – or I don't have any regrets.
01:32I think it's just obviously points I want to make better decisions on,
01:35but that's how you learn and become a better player.
01:39David?
01:40You spent a lot of time at the net today winning a lot of points.
01:45I know you've done quite a lot of that this year,
01:47but was there an element of deciding that that was a strategy mid-match,
01:52or is that something you want as part of your identity on grass,
01:56particularly in the future?
01:57Yeah, I think I should do it more, honestly.
02:01I think on grass is obviously a good play,
02:04and I'm maybe not hitting diving ballies like Carolina,
02:08but I have decent hands.
02:10So for the most part, it is something that I want to continue to get better at
02:14on every surface, but especially grass.
02:16And I think it was – I mean, I don't know.
02:20I think whenever you're playing someone who gets as many balls back as her,
02:23I think it's, I guess, a tactic too to try to end the point a little bit sooner,
02:28especially someone who slices, to try to take some of the trickiness out of it.
02:32So, yeah.
02:33Matt?
02:34Hey, Coco.
02:35How's it going today?
02:35Thanks.
02:37You said something the other day that keeps running through my head.
02:40I guess it's about your faith,
02:42and you sort of believe that these stories are written already.
02:47Like, I'm struggling with that today.
02:49Like, who would write something like this?
02:52Like, one ball.
02:53And, like, how does it – can you talk me through,
02:56like how do you think through what has to be, like,
02:59such a painful experience like today?
03:02I mean, as much painful as it is from the outside.
03:06I mean, I think about – I was down 7-4 in the second round,
03:10and I'm here in the semis.
03:11I had a point on my racket at a tournament.
03:15I don't know.
03:17I didn't think it would be this year I would make the semis.
03:20So, it's not a painful story.
03:22I think, you know, thousands of people would love to lose the semifinals
03:26at Wimbledon on match point.
03:29Is this something I would love to experience again?
03:32For sure, no.
03:32But I think that it will make my next moment when I win a match like this
03:37even sweeter.
03:38I mean, I had a match earlier this year.
03:40I saved six match points.
03:42So, it's just one of those days where it just didn't go my way
03:46and somebody had to lose, and unfortunately, it was me today.
03:49Kevin?
03:50Because the way you played that sunset, going for your shots,
03:53going to the net like this, it felt from outside,
03:55like you've unlocked something in your game.
03:57Do you think this whole tournament may have been this,
04:01like you've unlocked your game again?
04:02Yeah, I definitely think I'm progressing in the right direction
04:06with the serve, with being aggressive.
04:09There's definitely some points I regret maybe being some passive,
04:12like on some of those three points, but it's going to take time
04:15in putting myself in these positions to unlearn habits
04:19and build new ones.
04:21And, you know, you hate me or love me, you can't deny the progress
04:26that's been made this tournament.
04:27So, I don't know.
04:29There's a lot of positives.
04:30It gets me excited for the future, for sure.
04:32Catherine?
04:33Hi, Coco.
04:34Great tournament.
04:34Thanks.
04:34I just wondered, is Carolina, you've played a bunch of times,
04:37like eight times, I think, is she unique as an opponent?
04:41Yeah, for sure.
04:42I mean, I always said that her, you know, she's obviously
04:46a successful player, but I think, you know, she's someone
04:50that deserves more success of how talented she is.
04:54And I think that, you know, we have the head-to-head
04:58that is leaned my way, but it's not an opponent that you want
05:02to face at any point of the tournament.
05:04And I have so much respect for how she plays and how she is off the court.
05:09And, you know, I don't know.
05:13It's just one of those battles that, you know, I'm honored, not honored.
05:17I don't want to say honored to lose.
05:18But, like, it was just, I don't know.
05:19It's just, it's a match I'm going to remember for my career.
05:22And it sucks to be on the losing end.
05:25But, like, even walking off the court, I was like, that was a lot of fun.
05:30How would you get over a match like this where it's so close
05:33and you have match point?
05:34And how long does it take you to kind of get over?
05:39I mean, I'm going to think about it tonight.
05:40I mean, yeah, I think I'm, I don't know.
05:45I never, I don't know when, if I've ever lost a match after having match point
05:49or if I did, I don't remember the last time.
05:51So I don't, I don't know how long it will take me.
05:53But I don't think that long, honestly.
05:57I think, yeah, right after I was, like, a lot of emotions right after the match.
06:02But now I'm just, like, one decision away.
06:06Maybe I'm sitting in this press conference in a different mood.
06:09And, I mean, I look at Roger lost match points here.
06:14Yannick, obviously, at Rolling Girls.
06:16So every great champion has this happen in their career.
06:20and maybe this is something I need to, to be on their level.
06:25Aizen?
06:26Hi, Coco. Tough loss.
06:27Thanks.
06:27You're the only Grand Slam champion left in the draw.
06:30Did you feel any extra expectations or pressure going into today's match?
06:35No, not at all.
06:38No, honestly, yeah.
06:40I didn't feel like I was the favor or anything.
06:43I mean, obviously, I have more experience maybe at these stages
06:46than the other people that were left.
06:48But at the end of the day, we're all great athletes and great tennis players.
06:54So the pass is the pass.
06:57And I don't think it matters that much.
07:00James?
07:02Okay.
07:02Hi.
07:03Hello.
07:03I wonder whether this run, this is the Grand Slam you previously had done the least good at.
07:08Has this recalibrated how you think about Wimbledon?
07:11Maybe you always believed you could win it.
07:12But do you now have greater belief that maybe one day you will?
07:15For sure.
07:15I definitely have more faith and I, you know, I have a lot of things that I can improve.
07:21And, yeah, I think, like I said earlier this week, that regardless of the result,
07:25it's a breakthrough tournament for me.
07:28Needed something like this to have my belief at this tournament.
07:31And I'm definitely going to come next year with more confidence and hopefully a better player.
07:37Nice going despite today.
07:39Thanks.
07:40Sorry to harp on it, but just getting back to the match point.
07:43I'm just wondering how much decision making was going into that shot.
07:47I mean, it happens on every shot.
07:48Yeah.
07:48But I think Tracy Austin said on the BBC, you must have changed your mind six times.
07:53I'm just wondering.
07:55Honestly, I didn't change my mind too much.
07:57I think I feel like if I had to do it over, I probably would have just went with a
08:02slice
08:02foreign down the line because the ball bounce wasn't really like that high.
08:06So don't know if I would have hit a foreign or not.
08:10I don't know.
08:11I have to watch it back, honestly, to say.
08:13But, yeah, I mean, it's tough like because it was on my match point.
08:18And then, Dave, this point happens that when on the tiebreaker, we wouldn't be sitting
08:22here talking about it, but it happened on match point.
08:24And it's just a learning experience.
08:26Like, I know I can do better and improve on that and, you know, going with a higher margin
08:33shot on a pressure moment for sure.
08:36Okay.
08:36Last question at the back there.
08:38Just the next couple of days, are you the kind of type that shuts down for everything?
08:43Social media, the TV, or will you be watching a final after a tough loss like this?
08:48Um, that's a good question.
08:50Um, sometimes I watch and sometimes I don't watch.
08:54Um, I don't know.
08:56We'll see when I get home.
08:57If I'm up, I might have it on.
08:59But it definitely, uh, I am one that, like, stings a little bit, especially so close.
09:04It's like, I don't want to watch.
09:05But also, at the same time, I am a fan of tennis.
09:07And the girls who are, I don't know.
09:11Yeah, the girls who are left, I think it's going to be a great match.
09:15Obviously, Carolina is great and whoever she plays in the final is going to be great.
09:18So, maybe I'll watch.
09:20Maybe I won't.
09:20But, um, I'll be on online.
09:23I mean, I'm probably, you know, already got some, some hate comments and stuff.
09:27But it's okay.
09:27You know, it just makes you stronger.
09:29The hate comments you say?
09:31Um, you know, betters who lose, who are mad and stuff.
09:34It's the usual.
09:35But it doesn't, you know, it sucks.
09:37But it's like, whatever.
09:38Um, I'll, I'll come on the winning end next time.
09:41And I'll, I'll be sure to tag them.
09:44Thank you very much.
09:45Thank you.
09:45Thank you.
