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

00:30Je suis très heureux de pouvoir capitaliser sur ça, donc je suis vraiment heureux de la fin et j'en suis très heureux pour le prochain round.

00:39Question 3 ?

00:42Est-ce que vous avez joué avec la hausmanie après avoir sauvé ces trois points ?

00:49Ou est-ce que quand vous regardez les draws, est-ce que vous avez un peu plus de pression aujourd'hui ?

00:53Parce que vous êtes un clair favorite.

00:55Je suis toujours heureux de être ici.

00:58J'ai eu l'impression que c'est comme ça qu'ils puissent.

01:02Donc, je pense que vous jouez un peu freer quand vous connaissez ça.

01:07Mais aussi, c'est une grande opportunité aujourd'hui pour faire un autre quarterfinal ici.

01:12Donc, un petit peu de both.

01:14Un petit peu que je suis toujours dans le tournament,

01:17mais aussi, un petit peu de connaissance de l'opportunité que j'ai aujourd'hui,

01:21j'ai voulu jouer et jouer vraiment solid, et j'ai voulu que j'ai avantage de ça.

01:26Vous avez des joueurs à l'apprentissage ?

01:29Je pense que vous jouez la meilleure à l'apprentissage.

01:30Encore une fois, ils jouent la meilleure à l'apprentissage du vendeur et l'apprentissage.

01:32Le même temps c'est la meilleure à l'apprentissage.

01:34Encore une fois, c'est la meilleure à l'apprentissage.

01:36But do you feel like you're a different sort of level of reliable, good player at majors than maybe day-to-day elsewhere?

01:42It seems like you've managed to peak at these events pretty consistently.

01:47I think I have kind of typically had pretty good success at the slams.

01:54I think especially early in my career, I was always kind of aiming for the slams and trying to schedule to peak at the slams.

02:02And funny enough, I think now later, I'm playing way more the week before and things like that.

02:09So I've kind of shifted my mindset, but I just seem to do well at these two-week events.

02:17Do you have any idea why that is? I mean, everyone wants to do well at the majors, but you actually do.

02:22I don't know. I think I have just kind of always put a lot of emphasis on it and really kind of just buckled down.

02:30And funny enough, it was actually a goal when I started with Bjorn to put more emphasis on all of the other weeks

02:38and try to have more consistency throughout the season and not just four times a year.

02:43So that was something that I have actually really worked hard on and tried to do.

02:47How much of your success do you chalk up to sort of like nuts and bolts things like shot selection

02:58and, you know, improvement on forehand and different serve and stuff like that?

03:02And how much do you chalk up to improvement in intangibles and the way you're thinking

03:09and sort of your psychology and mental approach to just tennis in general

03:16and also obviously big events like this?

03:20I think it's hard to quantify one thing or say it's more one thing or the other.

03:27I think my mentality has really helped make more good decisions in big points.

03:36But I also think that it's kind of forced me to continue to play my way.

03:44I think in the past I would maybe get a little bit more tentative

03:46and kind of play a little bit more defensively in big moments

03:51and now trying to make the push to continue to play the way that I was playing

03:58in order to get up in scores.

04:02But then at the same time I think adding in the slice has helped a lot

04:06and change pace and keep me in rallies.

04:09So I think it's kind of just a little bit of everything.

04:12I'd like to ask you to look ahead if you could to your next match.

04:23Two of you have played several times.

04:28One has two separate things.

04:29One is if you could look ahead to that,

04:31what do you think for you will be the key to win that match?

04:37I think Coco is obviously pretty dominant on Klay.

04:43I would say it's probably one of her best surface to play on.

04:47So it's obviously a big challenge.

04:51I think for me it's going to be a lot about

04:54trying to balance going after things

04:59but knowing with her ability to cover the court

05:02you're going to have to win the point multiple times

05:06before it's actually over.

05:08So I think that's always one of the trickier things

05:11when you're playing someone who moves as well as she does.

05:14And then you also have the threat against her

05:17of if at any point you kind of lose control of the point

05:22she's going to be the aggressor.

05:24So I think the biggest thing is the balance of going for things

05:30but with enough margin that it's a repeatable ball

05:34shot after shot.

05:36And are you somebody who prefers to play somebody

05:42that you have a lot of experience against?

05:44I think this will be your sixth matchup between the two of you.

05:48Or do you prefer playing somebody

05:52who maybe hasn't seen you play?

05:55Obviously you haven't played against Ken too

05:58but maybe you feel as though you have an advantage

06:01if it's someone who's not used to dealing

06:03with what you present on court.

06:07I think that at this point it's pretty rare

06:12to play someone that you haven't played against.

06:15So in some ways it's almost exciting

06:19just because it's someone new

06:22that you haven't gone up against.

06:24but it happens so rarely

06:26that more often than not

06:29you don't really have the opportunity

06:30to prefer one thing or the other.

06:33And I think when you've played someone so many times

06:36sometimes it's hard

06:39because you start analyzing everything

06:41and you know they're doing the same thing.

06:43So I think sometimes you go out expecting

06:47maybe something completely different

06:50than you've ever seen

06:51but a lot of times I feel like

06:53it's very similar matches

06:54and it's just who's executing better that day.

06:59Hi, congrats.

07:01So Jessica Pegua,

07:03she said that she has had

07:05a little bit of tough time

07:07with this in a clay court swing

07:09because it's pretty long

07:11and you know you guys have to stay away

07:14from your home

07:14and especially this year

07:17it's two weeks back to back

07:19the tournament.

07:21So I was wondering

07:22how did you feel

07:23and how did you handle

07:24that kind of rough schedule?

07:27I actually went home

07:29after I lost early in Rome.

07:32So in some ways

07:34I think it was a blessing

07:35in disguise for me

07:36because I was able to go home

07:37for a little over a week

07:38and that really helped

07:41just reset my trip

07:43and coming back to Paris

07:45it felt like

07:46it was a whole new trip.

07:48It gets very long.

07:50Last year

07:51even not playing the

07:52I guess last year

07:53was also two weeks

07:54but staying over

07:55and playing Strasbourg

07:56by the time I got

07:57to Roland Garros

07:58I was pretty crispy

07:59and ready to go home.

08:01So it's definitely

08:02it's really hard

08:03and I think the difference

08:05of this swing

08:07versus the kind of

08:09spring swing

08:10is that there's not

08:11a grand slam

08:11at the end of it.

08:13So it's definitely

08:14a hard thing to balance

08:16but looking back

08:18maybe a good thing

08:20that I lost early in Rome.

08:24It really hasn't been

08:25automatic for major winners

08:27especially first time

08:27major winners

08:28to have a good result

08:29at their next major

08:30whenever it is

08:30a lot of them lose early.

08:32I'm wondering how you feel

08:33you've been able

08:34to sort of process that.

08:35this is the biggest gap

08:36between the two majors

08:36between Australia

08:37and France

08:38if that helps

08:38on the calendar

08:39to reset

08:39or if you feel

08:40like you've taken it

08:41as a positive

08:41or it's been irrelevant

08:43to your run here

08:44but being a quarter

08:45is a relatively high bar

08:47that a lot of people

08:48don't clear even.

08:50I think it's been

08:51good for me

08:52to have the time

08:53in between.

08:55Just it's allowed me

08:56more time

08:57to kind of process

08:58and reset

08:59and figure things out

09:00and then get back

09:01out there.

09:02So I think

09:03I've definitely

09:04taken advantage

09:05of the fact

09:06that I've had

09:07a few months

09:07to kind of recalibrate.

09:12Congratulations Madison.

09:13I don't know

09:14whether this is

09:14an easy question

09:15or not

09:16but you and Coco

09:18you're different ages

09:20but you're

09:20from the same state

09:22in the same trade

09:23you know each other

09:24well.

09:24Can you just talk

09:25about her

09:26and your relationship

09:28the energy

09:29and how you've

09:31been interacting

09:32any good stories

09:33anything like that?

09:36I remember

09:38meeting Coco

09:38for the first time

09:40and in my head

09:42she was like

09:43nine years old

09:44she probably

09:44wasn't that young

09:45but she was

09:46so young

09:46and not even

09:49on the pro tour

09:50yet

09:50and just kind

09:52of watching her play

09:53I knew that

09:54she was going

09:55to be someone

09:55that was going

09:56to be pretty dominant

09:57pretty quickly

09:57she just carried

09:58herself with

09:59such poise

10:01for as young

10:01as she is

10:02and even to this day

10:03I'm always so impressed

10:04by the way

10:06that she handles

10:07the pressure

10:08and all of it

10:10at such a young age

10:11is one of the things

10:12that I think

10:13that she's done

10:14a phenomenal job at.

10:15It's been really fun

10:17kind of getting

10:19to see her

10:20do so well

10:21at such a young age.

10:24Sometimes I feel

10:25very old

10:26when talking

10:27to Coco

10:28because she says

10:28things

10:29and I'm like

10:29yeah I don't get that.

10:31So there's definitely

10:32there's definitely

10:35a big age gap

10:36that is sometimes

10:38shockingly

10:40obvious.

10:46Just to clarify

10:47one thing

10:48and then ask

10:50a question

10:50when you talked

10:51about having

10:52to win the point

10:53like four times

10:54against Coco

10:55that's just

10:55accentuated I imagine

10:57on the red clay

10:58because it's hard

10:59to get hit

10:59through the court

11:00and then

11:02my other question

11:03just when you are

11:04either with

11:05or watching

11:06or playing Coco

11:07is there like

11:08flashbacks

11:08to when

11:09you were that age

11:11and had a ton

11:12of you know

11:13like attention

11:14and promise

11:14and pressure

11:15on you

11:15and people

11:16talking about you

11:17and just sort

11:17of like

11:18I don't know

11:19I don't know

11:20if nostalgic

11:21is the wrong word

11:22but I think

11:23you probably know

11:23what I'm talking

11:24about

11:24you have that

11:25sensation ever

11:25I think I'm always

11:27just really impressed

11:29with the fact

11:32that she handles

11:32it so well

11:33because she's had

11:34even more success

11:36and more media

11:38attention than I had

11:39and I know that

11:40it was definitely

11:41really hard for me

11:42at times to handle

11:43it and I feel

11:45like you watch her

11:46and she just takes

11:47it all in stride

11:47and continues

11:48to just be

11:51100% her

11:53and I'm always

11:54just really impressed

11:55by it

11:55last question

11:56okay for a couple

11:57of days now

11:58the juniors

11:58are here speaking

11:59of you at a young age

12:00and everybody's

12:01so full of aspirations

12:03and hopes

12:03and wants to be

12:04there where you are

12:05is there one piece

12:07of advice

12:07you could give

12:09the better players

12:10there

12:10maybe forget about it

12:12and just let

12:13everything come

12:14or work hard

12:14is there any kind

12:15of advice

12:15you would give them

12:16I think the biggest

12:18thing is that

12:19there's a lot

12:21of pressure

12:21to kind of

12:24immediately make it

12:25when you're

12:26a top junior

12:27and I think

12:28sometimes you lose

12:30the you kind of

12:31lose the fun

12:33of all of it

12:34and all of the

12:35just amazing

12:36experience that

12:37you get to have

12:38through being a

12:39professional tennis

12:40player and I think

12:41the biggest thing

12:42from all of it

12:44is that it's really

12:45never too late

12:46I obviously

12:47had a lot of

12:47success earlier

12:48in my career

12:49and then didn't

12:51quite get across

12:52the line until

12:53a few months ago

12:54so there's really

12:56there's no time

12:58limit and I think

12:59a lot of us

13:00as time goes by

13:01and we haven't

13:02gotten it

13:02and we haven't

13:03gotten it

13:03feels like time

13:04is running away

13:05so I think

13:06it's just really

13:07there's no time

13:08limit

13:08anything can happen

13:10at any moment

13:10you

13:23you
