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

00:21Je me sens bien, je me sens vraiment bien.

00:24Obviamente, c'est un stat assez fou, mais je veux dire, je me suis comptant les vins.

00:29Je me sens pas vraiment que les vins.

00:31Je me sens bien que j'ai aimé les vins de la manière de faire une sorte de la place.

00:33C'est un peu plus facile de faire un de la course de la courbe.

00:36C'est un 4 en 5.

00:38Mais, oui, c'est un autrement qui est heureux de faire un peu plus de faire.

00:50Est-ce que vous sentez que vous avez joué à l'aise que l'on a sugerir ?

00:54Je me sens que c'est plutôt rare pour quelqu'un de faire un quartier sans tromper un set.

00:58Et c'est relativement rare.

00:59Yeah, I feel like I'm playing great, man.

01:02I feel like I'm in a great place.

01:05I'm just happy being out there.

01:06I love competing.

01:07I'm playing super aggressive.

01:09Making the game simple.

01:12Given what the game gives me,

01:14I'm just trying to play the right way

01:15and the way I know how.

01:18I'm at my best and living and dying with the results.

01:20It's going my way right now.

01:23I know you've always felt that on any given day

01:26you can play, you can beat anybody in the world

01:28and be really close and be right with them.

01:31But do you feel like the gulf between you

01:35and the guys at the top is getting smaller?

01:38Are you getting closer?

01:39Or is it just the sort of thing like right day, right time,

01:43right atmosphere, right court,

01:44that for you bridges that gap?

01:48I think the difference between me and the top guys

01:50has always been on the day.

01:56I don't think the top guys are really the issue.

01:57I think the guys, you know, the pool of people.

02:01You know, if you look at the guys in front of me,

02:03I mean, I'm much more comfortable playing guys around me

02:06and ahead of me than the other guys.

02:08I'm much more liable and week to week.

02:10I don't lose to those guys week to week.

02:12I lose to everybody else.

02:13So that's not really my concern, you know,

02:16playing the best guys in the world.

02:19You know, I don't really feel them.

02:20I don't really feel like their level is so much better than mine.

02:23And I know I can do it on a given day,

02:25but winning these matches like this,

02:28that's what gives me a ton of confidence.

02:29And that's always been my key to heal

02:32and something I'm truly, really happy about right now.

02:35Hi, Francis.

02:39This might be an impossible thing to answer,

02:42but I'll give it a shot.

02:43Can you think of a moment over the last week

02:50where you were like,

02:51hey, you know, I can do this here?

02:55Something that clicked for you

02:57either during a particular match

02:59or maybe even a practice or away from the courts,

03:02something where you felt like,

03:05okay, this is not going to be a problem for me

03:08the way maybe it's been in the past.

03:10No, I mean, yeah, man,

03:11I told these guys the other day, you know,

03:13I broke a racket a couple of days before the tournament.

03:16Kind of just, and, you know,

03:18I was holding a lot of my emotions in of, you know,

03:21just being like, yeah, you know,

03:22like being super positive.

03:23Yeah, you know, it's all good, like whatever.

03:25And, you know, I got killed in practice,

03:27you know, a couple of days before

03:29and then had to practice again,

03:31playing sets with a guy.

03:32I'm getting, you know, getting my butt kicked there.

03:34And then, you know,

03:36I found a way to kind of win that set

03:37and I felt, and I was on my team,

03:38I was like, that was kind of a big day, you know.

03:40So, not only, you know, that I had emotion

03:44and actually like, but then, you know,

03:47solved it in real time and not, you know,

03:49after the fact, oh, I should have done this and this.

03:51And I think after that,

03:52I kind of like faced what was really going on.

03:54I was like, yeah, it's been horrible.

03:55I've been traveling around.

03:56It's just hasn't been fun at all.

03:59And, you know, kind of faced it.

04:00And then after that, I was,

04:01gave me a space to kind of just play.

04:03Like, you know, when I can play, I can play.

04:05This is not really something that's like a shock.

04:08Like, you know, when I'm playing well

04:11and I'm there and I'm present, I'm having fun,

04:13you know, I think the sky's the limit for me.

04:16I was actually going to ask about that.

04:18Obviously, when we see you on court,

04:19you kind of weigh your emotions clearly.

04:22But in general, like when you're going through difficult times,

04:26is that something that happens, you know,

04:28sometimes that you hold things in

04:29and that it kind of gets worse?

04:31Yeah.

04:31I mean, sometimes I've seen a quote sometimes.

04:33Sometimes when you see the guy,

04:35the happiest guy in the room,

04:36sometimes you got to ask him how he's doing.

04:37Obviously, you know, I was usually a happy guy.

04:41You know, usually only keep that kind of

04:43what I'm going through with people close to me.

04:45I don't think he's really, not really a complaining guy.

04:48But, yeah, I mean, you know, we're human.

04:51You know, I'm competing at the highest level.

04:53And, you know, I have a, you know, I got an ego.

04:54I have a certain standard that I want to play at.

04:56And when you're not doing that, it's very frustrating.

04:59But at the same time, what's amazing about tennis

05:01is week to week, anything can happen.

05:04You got the pen of your own story.

05:05And then, you know, win one match, win two matches,

05:09by the time you know it,

05:09now you're sitting here talking about being in the quarters,

05:11everything else that happened for, you know,

05:13eight months, nine months, it almost didn't happen.

05:15It's relevant.

05:16So, tennis is an amazing sport in that way,

05:18but also frustrating in that way as well.

05:20But it's got to love the ebbs and flows

05:22and just kind of keep that perspective, right?

05:25Do you feel like you can play freer at this, you know,

05:28it feels like a house money sort of situation

05:29being to the quarters of the French

05:30more than it would at a tournament

05:32where maybe more is expected of you headed in

05:35from yourself or from the outside,

05:36that, you know, you go into whoever you play next,

05:39Muzetti or Runa, and then kind of think, like,

05:41I can just, I have nothing,

05:42relatively nothing to lose here.

05:44Yeah, I mean, there's a little bit of that, for sure.

05:45I mean, I don't think anyone, you know,

05:47I'm in a super dark horse in this sense.

05:48I don't think anyone's really thinking

05:49that I was going to even be in this position.

05:54But at the same time, like, I mean,

05:59I mean, I don't really look at it like house money.

06:03I'm like, man, now that I'm here,

06:04I'm like, let's win.

06:06Like, you know, I was having dinner with Joey yesterday.

06:09I'm like, I mean, yeah, you're feeling great,

06:11but let's keep winning.

06:12Like, there's nothing more fun than winning.

06:15And, you know, once I get my feet going

06:18and Max is under me, I'm dangerous.

06:20Then I'm feeling really good,

06:21and I'll play anybody.

06:23Just to me, you missed the word dark horse,

06:24so I'm curious to ask about Haley

06:25because we have two D.C. players

06:27on the day nine of the French Open,

06:29which is pretty cool and pretty rare.

06:31What are your thoughts on,

06:32I asked you about her last time,

06:34but now that she's facing Keys next,

06:36what do you think about that

06:37and her continuing to march on?

06:39Yeah, it's tough.

06:39Obviously, you know, let's talk so much about it

06:41because obviously I'm super close with Haley

06:43and as Madison as well.

06:46One of the best women win there.

06:48but, you know, obviously, you know,

06:51I'm leaning a little bit,

06:52but no secret there.

06:53But I think it's going to be tough.

06:55It's going to be tough.

06:56I mean, Maddie's incredible, man.

06:57She just wants to slam this year.

06:58She's so confident.

06:59You've seen, you know,

07:00her rope in the backhand,

07:01winning down match points

07:02shows how much confidence

07:03she's got right now.

07:04So they're playing on Langland.

07:07It's going to be incredible.

07:08Hopefully, she rises to the occasion.

07:09She's never played on a court that big.

07:12Let's see if the lights are too bright

07:13or let's see if she's made for it.

07:14You know, those are kind of the moments.

07:15And, yeah, we'll see.

07:21If you could point to one thing in your game,

07:25how you've played this week,

07:27that pleases you the most,

07:30what would you say that is?

07:31Just how fast I'm playing.

07:33Playing really fast.

07:35Getting on the ball quickly.

07:36I'm knocking balls off.

07:38I'm not really giving up ground.

07:40I'm serving at a pretty decent clip.

07:42of probably seconds of returns,

07:44I'm hopping on.

07:46I'm not doing the going back thing

07:48and playing all spinny

07:49and running around

07:50and just grunting loud

07:51and not hitting the ball hard.

07:52Like, I'm actually playing.

07:55I'm playing hardcore tennis

07:56on a click court.

07:57Guys don't really like that so much.

08:00But for me, I've got to commit to it.

08:02Even it may not be the best thing,

08:04quote, unquote,

08:05how you're supposed to go about it.

08:06but I've got to just commit to it

08:08and live and die by it.

08:12I want to ask you one other thing,

08:14but on that hard court tennis

08:15on a click court,

08:16is that the conditions

08:17are allowing you to do that?

08:19Because it hasn't been that damp

08:22and soggy and stuff like that?

08:23Or would you do that no matter what?

08:26I mean, it could be freezing.

08:27I'm still going to do it.

08:28I mean, my success rate just goes higher.

08:32The faster I play,

08:33the better I move my feet.

08:34I mean, if I'm closer to baseline,

08:37I'm just really dangerous.

08:38I can see the court better.

08:39You know, my shots are going deeper

08:40and getting on the guys quicker.

08:42So take less time from your opponent.

08:45You can be in winning positions.

08:47If I can get myself in the front court

08:49and being able to suffocate guys that way,

08:52I'll probably be in a winning position.

08:54And is it the last, what,

08:5690 minutes, two hours or so?

08:59If you look at your phone,

09:00is it blowing up?

09:01Are you getting lots of messages?

09:02Like, you get the feeling this is resonating?

09:05Yeah, I mean, it's the same.

09:07Your people?

09:07It's the same.

09:10It's the same.

09:11The thing is,

09:13it's not like my first time going deep into major.

09:15Like, you know how it is.

09:16You win matches and everyone's texting you

09:18and I'm super excited.

09:19And, you know, it is what it is.

09:23But, and I'm glad.

09:24You know, the people that are around me understand.

09:26You know, they're super happy.

09:27But, again, I'm where my feet are.

09:30Quarterfinals is not, you know,

09:33end all, be all.

09:34You know, you just keep going, keep going.

09:37So, I'm happy that everyone's excited.

09:39And, yeah, your phone's going to be blowing up

09:41and Instagram's going to be blowing up.

09:42But, you know,

09:43the most important thing is what's next.

09:46And, yeah, that's the day off

09:48and then see who wins.

09:51It's been a few rounds now,

09:52but I just wanted to check

09:53what your level of satisfaction was

09:55of seeing Coco leave her rackets

09:57when she came on court.

09:58Incredible.

09:59I absolutely loved it.

10:00It was the first day I saw her today

10:03and I absolutely rinsed her

10:05because she was clowning so hard at NUELs.

10:07Like, man, I can't believe you're doing that.

10:10And she was, I mean,

10:11she was full out shaking her whole bag.

10:13It was like an empty cookie jar,

10:15like on Shockeray.

10:16I'm like, what are you doing?

10:18Like, you know,

10:19and the only person there

10:20was her New Balance dude

10:22and she looking at him like,

10:23and he's like,

10:24you got New Balance on,

10:25so what's up?

10:26So, it was incredible, man.

10:28I'm going to keep ripping her

10:29for a long time.

10:30I've never seen, you know,

10:31someone two in the world

10:32have zero things in her bag.

10:34That was incredible.

10:35So, yeah, I'm glad.

10:38I'm glad.

10:39And I think it's just that

10:40that kind of thing is so big

10:41because it just makes everyone look like,

10:43like, we're all human.

10:44Like, you know, people make mistakes.

10:45What are the team?

10:46What are her?

10:46Whatever.

10:47But that was a funny moment,

10:49especially like she tries

10:50to be like Mrs. McShure.

10:52So, that was great.

10:54I'm happy it happened to her.

10:55Hopefully it happens again.

10:55Thank you.

10:56Thank you.

10:57Thank you.

10:58Thank you.
