00:00Yeah, actually, I think the tournament, I think Mark Ein ran in and asked you, right?
00:05Yeah.
00:06He was like the first person, and we were like, yes, that'll be a great partner.
00:10And I know she's had success on the doubles court.
00:13I've seen her play well, so I thought, okay, we could be a really good team.
00:16So I'm really happy that she said yes, because it's a long U.S. Open series,
00:21and you have to save your energy, and playing two events is not easy.
00:26So I think it was the right choice, though.
00:28So thank you.
00:29It was definitely the right choice.
00:31It was worth it.
00:32No, I mean, honestly, it was super random.
00:35I was just having lunch with my team, and then Mark just came,
00:39and then we were like, do you want to play doubles with Venus?
00:42And we were like, I feel like maybe you should ask her first.
00:47But we would love that, but yeah, maybe ask her first.
00:50But yes, it was literally last minute, but I was super excited about it.
00:55I was definitely looking forward for it.
00:57And yeah, here we are.
00:59I feel like it was definitely a great partnership.
01:01Thank you.
01:01Thank you.
