00:00You know, I still think I'm a long way behind those boys, a little bit.

00:04You know, I've still got a lot to learn.

00:07If you look at probably the ATP matches, how many matches they've played,

00:11they've probably played double the amount that I've played.

00:14You know, they're probably a year, two years ahead of me

00:17and obviously achieved a lot more, a lot more experience.

00:20So I do have a lot to do to catch up with them, in all honesty.

00:25My level's getting better all the time, but it's not just the tennis.

00:29It's, you know, the maturity, the consistency.

00:33They don't even know I've been more consistent if doing it when it matters

00:36and these are the tournaments that matter.

00:37So, yeah, I've got a lot to go still to get to them

00:42and I think that, you know, I'm working hard and doing the right things

00:46and we'll see, but, yeah, definitely really difficult not to get that opportunity

00:49to play a Yannick or whoever it is in the quarters.
