00:00BNP Paribas, partenaire des plus belles histoires de Roland-Garros, aux côtés des ramasseurs de balles depuis plus de 50 ans.

00:30It's not easy. Usually I'm on the lefty side of that, but he's a difficult player to play who's been playing with a lot of confidence.

00:39I beat Steph here last round who's obviously been in the finals.

00:43And, yeah, it was one of those matches where a lot of things clicked for me.

00:49I thought I returned really well. I thought I backed up my service games well, even though I didn't serve great.

00:56Et bien, je suis heureux avec le fait que j'ai eu tué le tough match en trois sets.

01:03Can vous talk about that shot in le second set?

01:06Was that one of les plus remarquables shots que vous avez eu tué, on votre stomach, un handi?

01:10I mean, si je devais avoir eu tué pour ça, je disais oui.

01:14Mais c'est parce que j'ai eu lancé de clé corps, je ne suis pas eu que j'ai eu.

01:21Et donc, c'est pourquoi je ne suis pas fait de la balle du ground.

01:24Donc, non, je ne dirais pas le plus remarquable parce que ça.

01:29Mais oui, pour gagner ce point, c'est assez impressionnant, je pense.

01:33Mais oui, je voudrais dire que je suis d'accord pour ça,

01:36mais j'ai déjà eu de la face avant que la balle arrivait.

01:41Bonjour, Ben.

01:41Ton père a l'air pour le tournament.

01:44Il peut parler avec TNT pendant le match.

01:47Est-ce que c'est un problème pour toi qu'il puisse parler de ton match pendant le match?

01:51Non, je ne pourrais pas le plus.

01:53Je pense que c'est bon pour le sport, c'est un insight de l'équipe.

01:57Je pense que c'est ce que fans veulent voir.

02:00Je pense que c'est un grand part de tennis que nous n'avons pas beaucoup de en l'année dernière,

02:05mais c'est quelque chose que mon père est toujours willing et prêt à faire.

02:13Quand il est devenu asked, si c'est en Shanghai en 2023, je pense, ou ici,

02:18il est le premier de l'équipe.

02:20avec anything

02:22que peut help grow our sport

02:24ou être good pour le media

02:25as long as it's not a distraction

02:28et pour moi, je n'ai pas even notice it

02:30durant le match other than seeing

02:31l'air piece

02:32I think it's been pretty cool

02:35and hopefully people have enjoyed it

02:37This isn't

02:40what I was going to ask

02:41but just to quickly follow up

02:43would you ever go and

02:44try to see the clips

02:47to find out what the heck

02:49you might have said while you were playing

02:50Yeah, kind of

02:51If it comes up on my Instagram at some point

02:54I'm sure I'll watch it

02:55I don't know if I'll go seek it out

02:57but I'll definitely probably

02:59see it at some point

03:00but I'm guessing it's probably along the lines

03:03of everything that he's told me

03:05every day of my life

03:05I wanted to go back to

03:09what you said at the very beginning about

03:11it's always

03:13tricky playing a lefty

03:14Why for you

03:18is that the case?

03:21Yeah, the spin

03:22off the ball is weird

03:24and

03:25I returned really well today

03:27but returning a lefty serve

03:29as a lefty is tough

03:30when you have a guy who can

03:31go both ways

03:33with the serve

03:34and hit the kicker

03:35up to the backhand

03:36that's the only time

03:37in the world

03:38where I wish

03:39that I was righty

03:40because

03:41you have a fat kicker

03:43and you hit it to

03:43the righty's backhand

03:45and you can use that

03:47every single match

03:47and 70

03:48over what

03:4990% of the players

03:50on tour

03:50are righty

03:51and you just go to that play

03:52over and over again

03:53if you have a great kicker

03:54for me

03:55like

03:56I hit the kicker out wide

03:58and I hit it perfectly

03:59it works

04:01and I don't hit it perfectly

04:02and

04:03center

04:04or foe

04:05or

04:05Carlos

04:06or

04:07anybody's kind of

04:08destroying a forehand

04:10winner on that

04:10but yeah

04:13there's a lot of

04:14small

04:15intricacies of the game

04:17that make it

04:17more difficult to play

04:18when you're a lefty

04:19actually

04:19my last couple days

04:21warming up

04:22and practicing

04:23with lefties

04:24I was like

04:24man I can't

04:25like the way

04:26that these guys

04:26are hitting the

04:27spinning forehand

04:28or side spin

04:28I can't make a volley

04:29like I was

04:30in practice

04:31pretty horrendous

04:32so I was happy

04:32with how I volleyed today

04:33because yeah

04:34the last couple days

04:35in practice

04:35was a shocker

04:37well done Ben

04:39the

04:39when

04:40you kind of

04:41rolled through

04:42those first two sets

04:43and then

04:44when things got tight

04:45in

04:46the third set

04:47were you

04:48like

04:49what did you have

04:50to call on

04:50what did you feel

04:51like you had to do

04:52in order to

04:53stay out in front

04:54because

04:55it wasn't

04:56straightforward

04:57it didn't look like

04:58yeah

04:59it got tough

05:00I thought he

05:00started playing

05:02his return games

05:02a lot smarter

05:03he started serving

05:05smarter

05:05mixing up speeds

05:06because I was

05:07pretty dialed in

05:09on lacing returns

05:10today

05:11and he started

05:11changing it

05:12from 158

05:13to 202

05:15was kind of

05:16his range

05:16of speeds

05:17on the first serve

05:18so that

05:19threw me off

05:20I started shanking

05:20some

05:21and he started

05:22hitting his

05:23backhand line

05:23really well

05:24so those

05:26were all

05:26things that

05:27kind of

05:27started

05:27giving me

05:28problems

05:28late in

05:29the match

05:29and I

05:30just had

05:31to be

05:31tough

05:31you know

08:00aren't

08:01afraid

08:01to get

08:01a little

08:02dirty

08:02hi Ben

08:05I had

08:06the same

08:06question

08:07but to

08:07follow up

08:08topic

08:08I would

08:09ask to

08:10did you

08:11make a

08:11specific

08:12job

08:43figuring out

08:43how I can

08:44still play

08:44my game

08:45and adapt

08:47slightly

08:48to being

08:51clay

08:51and moving

08:52on the

08:52clay
