OPEN COURT

“I would say the best advice he's given me is about, ground stroke patterns and how to how to open the court better, finding the the angles. I I play good with my depth, but sometimes finishing shorter in the court or bringing them out and in almost will then make the depth even more penetrating and surprising to them. So that's that's very specific, but that is something he told me that I think is really useful for me.”

“Oh my god. Ouch is a great one. I feel like they would be mocking us. Like, how this this court is so flipping big. How do you manage to hit me in the net Yeah. Every freaking time. I feel like they would be roasting us.”

“While she's thinking about it, if you give Eva Jovits Jonny's in her serve, she never loses again in the his the rest of her the rest of her the rest of her life. It's over. Tennis she's completed tennis. She's completed tennis.”

“I would definitely say that I know every result in every tournament seems so serious and so the make or break moment, but it definitely isn't. And please, please don't be stubborn and work on the things that you know you need to work on and take some else if you need to. That's something I could have done better, definitely. I was very stubborn with wanting to win. So do the things that are gonna make you better, and then the winning will come with it.”

“I think pressure is is obviously difficult, but it means that you've done something to deserve that expectation. So you can you can kinda use that to give you confidence, and I think breathing always, is is helpful. I do certain, like, breathing before matches to try to to calm the nervous system down if you're feeling, nervous and and the pressure. But I think you just have to know that it's it's normal, and it should give you confidence that people that people expect things of you because that means you've done some pretty good things too.”

“I mean, for me personally, I played soccer growing up. I think I had more fun on the soccer, field at that time than I did in tennis. But you can't really compare when you played AOSO soccer twice a week, right, just for fun versus training tennis every day. So I I really think the sport chooses you. And if you love to compete, you're gonna do what you're good at.”

“I personally I love watching Iga. I love watching Iga especially on the clay because, I mean, some of those runs she's had, especially at the French Open, have been ridiculous. I mean, not losing games, but the way that she's able to open up the court and play with different spins and shapes to push her opponents back the way she moves, I think is very dynamic, her game.”
