Emma Navarro Credits Dad Ben For Her Mindset | Charleston Second Round

EMMA JOINS US NOW ON THE FANDUEL TENNIS CHANNEL DESK. CONGRATULATIONS THANK YOU. GREAT PERFORMANCE OUT THERE TODAY. HOW SWEET IS REVENGE ON THIS COURT IN FRONT OF THESE FANS? YEAH AMAZING. >> THERE'S NOWHERE LIKE CHARLESTON. IT'S IT'D PROBABLY BE MY FAVORITE CITY IN THE WORLD IF IT WASN'T HOME. BUT IT ESPECIALLY IS BECAUSE IT IS HOME. AND YEAH, I JUST AM REALLY HAPPY TO BE BACK. AND IT'S MY FIRST WIN ON ON THAT COURT. SO IT FEELS REALLY SPECIAL. AND KATIE AND I HAVE BEEN PLAYING EACH OTHER SINCE PROBABLY WE WERE 13 OR 14 YEARS OLD, SO, IT'S PRETTY COOL TO SEE HOW FAR WE'VE COME AND, PLAY EACH OTHER ON THAT STAGE IS REALLY COOL. SO YEAH, JUST JUST HAPPY TO BE MOVING ON. >> THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY A DOMINATING PERFORMANCE. EMMA, WHAT PART OF YOUR GAME STOOD OUT TO YOU? THE MOST? >> I THINK I WAS HAPPY WITH HOW I FOUND MY SERVE THERE IN THE SECOND SET. WASN'T SERVING AS WELL AS I WANTED TO IN THE FIRST. AND THEN YEAH, I THINK IT'S COOL TO BE ABLE TO FIND SOMETHING MID-MATCH. MID-COMPETITION IT'S NOT THE EASIEST, SO THAT'S ALWAYS MY PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS. ON COURT WHEN I CAN, YOU KNOW, FIND SOMETHING THAT I DIDN'T HAVE AT THE START. SO YEAH, HAPPY TO FINISH OFF WITH SOME GOOD SERVES THERE. >> WHEN YOU LEFT MIAMI, YOU SAID DEUCES. TIME TO DEFEND THE HOME TURF. SO WHEN YOU COME HOME, IS THERE I MEAN IT'S GOT TO BE A COMBINATION OF MAYBE EXTRA NERVES AS WELL AS COMFORT. WHAT DO YOU FEEL MORE OF? >> YEAH. FOR SURE, I GOT A IT WAS RAINING A LOT TODAY, AND I WAS SITTING AT HOME, YOU KNOW, I WAS GETTING A LITTLE TOO COMFORTABLE THERE. I HAD TO KEEP MY WITS ABOUT ME. I REMIND MYSELF THAT I WAS IN A TOURNAMENT, SO. YEAH, IT'S AWESOME TO BE ABLE TO COME HOME AND BE ABLE TO PLAY IN FRONT OF AMAZING FANS AND MY FAMILY. SHE IS OUT HERE TONIGHT. SO YEAH, DEFINITELY A LITTLE EXTRA PRESSURE BECAUSE I WANT TO PERFORM WELL AND I WANT TO DO MY BEST AND I WANT TO WIN IN FRONT OF THE HOME CROWD. BUT MORE THAN ANYTHING, JUST REALLY GRATEFUL TO BE FROM CHARLESTON AND PLAY IN FRONT OF THE CHARLESTON CROWD . >> YOU'RE A BONA FIDE TOP 20 STAR NOW, EMMA. I MEAN, BIG TIME. SO HOW HOW ARE THE DEMANDS ON YOUR TIME THESE DAYS AND HOW ARE YOU MANAGING THAT? >> YEAH, DEFINITELY SOME MORE MEDIA THAN THAN I WAS DOING. FOR INSTANCE, LAST YEAR AT THIS TOURNAMENT, AND IT'S NOT MY MOST COMFORTABLE POSITION, YOU KNOW, BEING IN THE SPOTLIGHT, BUT IT'S KIND OF IT'S WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR AND IT'S WHAT I'VE WORKED SO HARD OVER THE YEARS TO BE IN THIS POSITION. SO I TRY TO EMBRACE IT AND LEAN INTO IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. AND YEAH, I'M ENJOYING IT. >> YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB, EMMA. THANK YOU, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STOOD OUT TO ME IS WHEN I, WHEN I HEARD YOU SAID WINNING, LOSING. WHEREVER YOU ARE, YOU SAID I'M EXACTLY WHERE I NEED TO BE. WHERE DID YOU GET THAT MINDSET, I GOT TO GIVE A LOT OF CREDIT TO MY DAD, HE'S IS HE'S PROBABLY THE SMARTEST GUY I KNOW. AND HE'S DROPPED A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM ON MY SIBLINGS AND I OVER THE YEARS. AND HE'S ACTUALLY TAUGHT A CLASS LAST SEMESTER AT COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON ON MINDSET. AND, YEAH, JUST BEING INTENTIONAL TO NAME THE CLASS WAS INTENTIONALITY, AND IT WAS A REALLY COMPETITIVE CLASS. KIDS WERE EMAILING HIM THROUGHOUT THIS SEMESTER TRYING TO GET IN, BUT YEAH, HE'S HE'S TAUGHT ME A BUNCH ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE PERSPECTIVE THAT I WANT TO TAKE INTO THINGS, ESPECIALLY, ON COURT STUFF. AND THEN MY COACH AS WELL, JUST TEACHES ME A LOT ABOUT MINDSET. AND, YEAH, LIKE I SAID, THE PERSPECTIVE I WANT TO HAVE SO, YEAH, TWO REALLY SMART GUYS THAT TEACH ME A LOT INTENTIONAL CITY WITH BEN NAVARRO. >> DO YOU HAVE TO BE A STUDENT AT COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON OR LIKE, COULD I APPLY ONLINE? HOW DO YOU GET IN THERE, YOU HAVE TO BE A STUDENT, BUT I'M SURE IF YOU'RE SNEAKY ENOUGH, YOU COULD GET IT. YOU COULD SNEAK IN THE BACK. I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE SECURITY GUARD. OKAY YEAH. BLOCKING THE DOOR. SO YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET IN. >> THAT'S AMAZING. TELL US ABOUT WHAT FAMILY MEMBERS WERE HERE TONIGHT CHEERING YOU ON, MY PARENTS, MY ONE OF MY BROTHERS, ONE OF TWO. AND THEN I GOT GRAMMY HERE TONIGHT. SHE, GAVE HER A SHOUT OUT ON THE COURT, BUT SHE MADE THE TRIP DOWN FROM CONNECTICUT TO COME WATCH ME PLAY. AND, YEAH, SHE WATCHES ME A TON ON TV. SO IT'S PRETTY COOL TO HAVE HER HERE WATCHING ME IN PERSON. AND THEN. YEAH AUNT, UNCLE, A BUNCH OF OTHERS. >> SO THAT'S AWESOME. THAT'S AWESOME. UP NEXT, YOU GOT JACQUELINE CHRISTIANE, WHO PULLED THE UPSET OVER MADDIE KEYES THE OTHER NIGHT. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THAT MATCHUP, HAVING WATCHED HER PLAY, EXCEPT FOR LIKE TEN MINUTES LAST NIGHT, BUT YEAH, I'M JUST EXCITED TO COMPETE AGAIN. LIVE ANOTHER DAY AND COME BACK OUT HERE AGAIN TOMORROW AND PLAY SOME GOOD TENNIS. >> WELL, CONGRATULATIONS ONCE AGAIN EMMA ON THE
