Intro welcome back in everyone to day six here at the cran Brook tennis classic now we've dealt with some sprinkles but through it all we have another winner through to the semifinals it's learner TN learner first of all congratulations PostMatch Interview on the victory today talk me through you drop that opening set you're able to flip the script you're down a match point What's going through your head in that moment how are you ultimately able to come through in three uh it was tough it was tough I was kind of hanging in there in a second I think I had some uh some break points down at 34 maybe I was down love 30 on a couple other ones obviously had the match point at 45 I was just kind of clawing my way back in those service games just trying to make him kind of close me out um and you know kind of hung in there until the tie break he gave me some some errors in the tie break and I just snuck the second set and then uh had a good amount of momentum going into the third obviously the rain delay at 31 all is like a tough kind of spot to be in especially serving cuz I'm two points away from from being pretty much back on an even score line so I mean holding for 4-1 after the hour delay was was huge and then I kind of just you know Consolidated my service pretty well off of that yeah and you know during that Rain Delay rain delay as you mentioned we had about an hour hour and a half of time in between what do you do during a rain delay what are the things you do to stay sharp because to your point you come out 3130 all pretty sharp on serve the rest of the way home what do you credit that to um just I just Tred not to overthink things sure um you know a lot a lot can be going on in your mind at a moment like that um I wasn't sure when I was actually going to get back on court I was pretty surprised that we got on when we did I thought it was going to be much later if even today honestly just the forecast wasn't Bing promising but just trying to keep my head in the right spot not you know overthink things too much just have a pretty simple game plan going back out yeah no and and it seemed Tactical Adjustments to work for you particularly well I'm curious you talked about his start and I did think seich came out playing particularly aggressive I thought that first set more than anything he went after that first forand early in rallies I'm curious if you noticed that and if you had to make any sort of tactical adjustment because it certainly felt like more so set three than set two but you started to raise the amount of offense you were playing early in rallies yeah I wasn't expecting him to come out that aggressive came out really aggressive right uh based on I haven't seen a whole lot of him but based on what I've seen I wasn't expecting him to kind of come out of the gates like that um took me off guard a little bit I thought kind of if I could just stay with him in that second set then maybe he'd uh gave me a couple more errors maybe stopped connecting on as many so it worked out things kind of happened um they happened to work out I started you know raising my level kind of when he had a little bit of a dip and I kind of took advantage of that M no it's really impressive to see and again here's a number for you I know we talked about it earlier in the week I said 17 straight winds overall 16 in the state of Michigan I forgot one so it's now 18 straight wins overall 18 straight in the state of Michigan the one I meant I blocked it out of my mind your win over Maloney in the round of 16 that's the extra match to add it to I mean again 18 wins is crazy like do you allow that sort of thought to penetrate your mind at all I know you are process focused but what does that say about the you've played now for 6 weeks consecutively um I mean I'm really happy with how I've been able to keep it going um especially this week I've had three three setters two of them which I was you know kind of down and out in some moments and I've been able to kind of keep it going so really happy I've been able to recover some of these matches um that have been threatening my streak um I'm not really thinking about my streak at all during during these matches but it it's cool to have for sure I I'll Martin Ri think about it for you so that you don't have to my friend uh I asked you this before we started Martin RI on the sideline for you here with you this week you know I've been listening to his commentary on your game he is just so impressed by the discipline that ability to put that return in play it feels like get the point started I'm curious what perspective he's offered you as you've turned to him for some guidance throughout the course of the week yeah it's been good um he just kind of took over handling my my coaching um a couple days earlier in the week um and it's been good uh he's he's been there for all my matches you know having the Outlook of a lefty is is uh not not something that comes around too often uh so he's been great and I I've been loving him so far it's been working well well obviously semi-finals ahead for you what do the next 12ish hours or so look like as you try to recover prepare for that match um nothing more than probably just grabbing some food and and staying in my room honestly I probably won't do too much you guy uh sometimes or Wimbledon replay guy probably not Wimbledon replay I had enough earlier today so I'll probably find something to do uh to burn some time and then you know get ready for tomorrow well deservedly so learner TN 18th consecutive you heard that correct 18th consecutive overall 18th consecutive in the state of Michigan congratulations my friend on a all that
