CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AT OUR. SHE DESERVES SOME APPLAUSE. SHE DESERVES SOME APPLAUSE. YOU GOT SUCH A WARM ROUND AS YOU WERE. AS YOU WERE COMING HERE TO OUR SET. WE GOT TO TALK ABOUT THIS MATCH. DONNA PLAYED A GREAT FIRST SET. SHE BARELY SQUEEZED THROUGH. YOU HAD TO CHANGE SOME THINGS UP IN THAT SECOND SET, AND IT FELT LIKE YOU GOT A LITTLE BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE, A LITTLE TIGHTER ON THE BASELINE. WHAT DID YOU FEEL THE BIGGEST IMPACT YOU MADE WAS? >> YEAH, I THINK EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID. I HAD TO STEP UP MY LEVEL. I WAS TOO FAR BACK AND I HAD TO STEP IN AND KEEP TAKING THOSE MID-COURT BALLS AND GOING FORWARD, AND I DEFINITELY HAVE TO SERVE A LITTLE BETTER. I LOOKED AT THE STATS ON THE BOARD AND MY PERCENTAGES WERE NOT GREAT, SO I DEFINITELY HAD TO SERVE MUCH BETTER AND RETURN BETTER. >> DOES THAT HELP OR HINDER YOU? SOMETIMES WHEN THEY WHEN THEY THROW IT UP THERE LIKE THAT, I DON'T KNOW. >> I FOUND IT'S HELPFUL RECENTLY, SO I'M GOING TO KEEP DOING IT. >> YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING MAGNIFICENT TENNIS. LAST WEEK YOU HAD A GREAT WIN OVER LEYLAH FERNANDEZ. YOU MADE THE ROUND OF 16. YOU YOU PILED IT INTO HERE IN QUALIFYING. WHAT'S WHAT'S WORKING SO WELL YOU'RE AT A CAREER HIGH IN YOUR RANK. A LOT OF GREAT STUFF IS COMING TOGETHER. >> THANK YOU. I THINK I'M JUST REALLY LEARNING TO BELIEVE IN MYSELF AND MY GAME. AND MY COACH MIKE HAS HELPED ME A LOT WITH THAT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, AND THIS SUMMER AS WELL. I DIDN'T HAVE A GREAT SUMMER. SO JUST LEARNING, YOU KNOW, MY GAME AND TO BELIEVE IN MYSELF EVERY SINGLE TIME I'M OUT THERE. >> IT'S NOT A NAME YOU NORMALLY SEE IN THE QUALIFYING DRAW, BUT YOU DID HAVE TO TAKE ON NAOMI OSAKA OVER HERE. FOUR TIME GRAND SLAM CHAMP WAS A DIFFICULT GETTING OVER THE FINISH LINE THERE FOR SURE. >> I MEAN, IT'S ALWAYS DIFFICULT PLAYING SOMEONE LIKE HER. I MEAN SHE'S SHE'S SUCH A ROLE MODEL FOR ME ON THE COURT AND HER GAME AS WELL. GROWING UP WATCHING HER, IT'S REALLY SURREAL. BUT YEAH, I MEAN I JUST HAD TO FIGHT AND DO DO EXACTLY WHAT I TRIED TO DO. >> ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE WATCHING ABOUT YOUR GAME IS YOU SEEM COMFORTABLE IN ALL ASPECTS OF THE COURT, EVEN WHEN YOU GET PULLED INTO THE NET, WHETHER IT'S ON YOUR TERMS OR NOT. YOU SEEM QUITE COMFORTABLE UP THERE. YOU PUT UP YOUR FIRST DOUBLES TITLE EARLIER THIS YEAR IN CHARLESTON WITH SLOANE STEPHENS. THANK YOU. HOW MUCH HAS WORKING ON THAT ASPECT ON THE DOUBLES COURT HELPED YOU IN SINGLES? >> YEAH, I THINK PLAYING DOUBLES, IT JUST FREES YOU A LITTLE BIT. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A LOT MORE FUN. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT AS UPTIGHT. YOU HAVE. YOU HAVE A PARTNER ON THE COURT, SO YOU'RE LAUGHING. SO I'VE KIND OF TAKEN THAT INTO SINGLES A LITTLE BIT AND LEARNED TO ENJOY IT. A LITTLE MORE. >> DID YOU HAVE A NICE EXPERIENCE WITH SLOANE? I'M SURE PLAYING WITH THE US OPEN CHAMP, THAT MUST'VE GOTTEN A LITTLE BIT OF WISDOM FROM THERE INTO YOU. >> OH, OF COURSE, SLOANE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE, SO TO GET ON THE COURT WITH HER AND PRACTICE WITH HER AND JUST GET A LITTLE BIT OF KNOWLEDGE FROM HER IS EVERYTHING. >> YOU PUT OUT A NICE GRATITUDE POST THE OTHER DAY SAYING, THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME IN THE MAIN DRAW OF THE CINCY OPEN OVER HERE. IT'S A VERY DIFFERENT FEEL HERE, BUT I FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE JUST, YOU KNOW, THEY GIVE YOU THE ENERGY, THE WHOLE TIME. WHAT'S SORT OF THE VIBE BEEN LIKE FOR YOU? >> YEAH, I MEAN IT'S ALWAYS GOOD BEING HOME, PLAYING AT HOME IN THE STATES. AND THE PEOPLE HERE ARE SO KIND AND SO NICE AND THEY LOVE TENNIS. AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT HELPS. THEY LOVE TO BE HERE AND THEY LOVE TO SUPPORT THE AMERICANS AND THEY LOVE TENNIS. SO IT'S A GOOD ENVIRONMENT TO PLAY IN FRONT OF PHYSICALLY WITH ALL THESE MATCHES. >> ALL THESE WINS ARE WE ARE WE FEELING GOOD? ARE WE FEELING A LITTLE GAS? ARE WE READY TO KEEP IT ROLLING HERE IN CINCY? >> I THINK WE'RE READY TO KEEP IT ROLLING. >> VERY GOOD. WELL LISTEN, YOU WERE BRILLIANT OUT THERE ON THE COURT. YOU FOUGHT BACK. WELL
