So did you find that happening? And if so, kind of what did you do to relax yourself and play your best tennis in those pressure moments?

Well, uh, AO, at, at, each round that we got, we passed and got through was always a bit of a surprise to me, Jonathan.

Um, as wild cards, we were the last wild card pairing out of the seven to receive a wild card, so each round we progressed, I was like, "Wow, we're still going, we're still going." Um, but by the semifinal stage, I was like, "Geez, we're one match away from [laughs] from the final." Um, so that was definitely a realization.

Uh, that, that, uh, that match became very important for me.

Um, and then, yeah, once we were in the final, I was like, "Sheesh, I'm gonna have to turn off my phone," because my phone was pinging like crazy after our semifinal victory.

Um, luckily I had a day off to kind of just, uh, the next day, just to kind of just really gather my thoughts and prepare best I could mentally as well for the match.

Um, which actually helped me with my, uh, my preparation for the Wimbledon final, I feel.

Is there anything you do in the beginning of a partnership, or if you're playing with someone new, where it's like you talk about how you wanna communicate, or you kind of let them know what you're comfortable with? Like how do you get started with a new partner?
