The moment is huge, yeah. I mean, I can't even downplay it at all. The moment is huge.
You know, I've lost. I've won a lot of great matches here. I've lost a lot of tough matches
here as well. So, it feels amazing to get this done.
And, you know, and the way it happened, right? This is Love Down. I'm
serving forward. You know, I'm down breaks early in the fifth. You know,
there's so many times where I was down. I could have been down, you know, double break in the third.
So, I mean, it was crazy. I mean, it was definitely a brave
heart type win. So, yeah. I mean, it ranks pretty high.
And probably all-time wins in a slam. I mean, I don't know where, but
it ranks pretty high. No, I mean, we're just good friends. So, I, you know,
you know, maybe if it was like a foreign or European dude, I probably would have
had a bigger immediate reaction. But, I mean, I
really like Alex. I really, really do. And I just wanted to come up there and
just dap him up. But, I mean, I didn't think it was going to be as long as it was.
But, I understand the moment. He was definitely crying on my shoulders.
And, yeah, we said some words for each other. And I was
slow. It was flat. I prided myself.
It wasn't good. Let's put it that way. It wasn't good. But three out of five is a blessing because you have
time to kind of get it together. I mean, I definitely waited
for the last minute. But, yeah. And then I was able to turn it around.
I was able to finally get momentum, see some balls in the court, getting some
rallies, find myself with the net. And there's some, you know, good shots to get the crowd
going. So, I mean, it's just tennis, man. You see
a little opening window. You see turning points. One point can all of a sudden
you're four hours later in a battle. It's the one point. So, tennis is
a unique sport like that.
