Yeah, it felt great.
To be honest, I was really happy with my return game.
The way that I played from the ground from point one, for me,
is where I want to be at.
I think that the level that I maintained throughout the match
was really high.
And if I was nitpicky at all, it's just the way
that I served at the end.
I kind of lost the rhythm on my first serve.
But I'm super happy with the way that I played tonight,
the performance that I came up with.
And I hope to continue to build on these things in the semis.
I think being consistent.
My habits, my routines throughout the tournament,
the way that I stay focused, what I do with my off days,
the way I prepare for my matches and continue
to take care of my body, I think is really important.
And being sharp mentally and physically
is super important down the stretch in these tournaments.
And something I'm still a little bit immature with at times,
but definitely doing a lot better.
