Yeah, I guess I do have a lot of experience.
I mean, I would say every match is very different, but I am able to play
or pull from the matches that I've played in the past.
I think obviously when it gets to the third set,
I try to think of all of the matches I was able to pull through.
And I feel like today, like the score line,
I wasn't really paying attention too much in the second set,
but I do think that I was ahead and I kind of let it slip through my fingers.
So I was trying to tell myself in the third set, like keep going
and keep trying to take the opportunities.
I mean, I was going to say today the umpire,
she told everyone to quiet, like be quiet more than I've ever heard
an umpire tell like a crowd to be quiet.
And I do think in my first match, I wasn't really paying attention.
Like I tell people I normally just focus on the match in the court.
But there was a moment where there was like people like shouting and stuff
and you could hear it quite clearly.
And I think it bothered my opponent, too.
So maybe that's what you were talking about.
But I've heard some people say like the lights or whatever.
And I don't really see the lights because obviously like when you're serving,
you're looking at the sun or you're looking at the nightlight.
So it was more the noise.
No, no, I've never felt quite like that.
I've had cramps before.
I felt, you know, OK, tired towards the end of matches.
But in a normal way, this was abnormal a little bit.
And it was no signs in the last couple of days and no signs this morning as well.
So, yeah, I'm not sure.
I'm going to run some tests and see what comes out of it.
I mean, Karen's a great player.
Look, I cannot beat him or anybody in this draw feeling the way I felt today.
So if I cannot move.
We're not talking about tennis here.
So it's unfortunate.
I wish I wish we were talking about tennis.
I wish that I was beaten.
And we were talking about what I could have done better tennis wise.
But it's not the case.
You know, so next tournament and let's see how I can play better.
