Do you feel a 249 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:28.960 bit old hat with all this? Now You're like, yeah, 250 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:32.759 I know when rains parkers have got this down? Is 251 00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:36.480 there nerves? Is there a buzz? Or is it business 252 00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:37.000 as usual? 253 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:40.399 Bit of everything? It's lovely to play, but there's you 254 00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:44.240 obviously want to do well, but like the same in 255 00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:50.279 every other tournament. We're organized in practice with getting stuff done, training, physio. 256 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.679 It's like a big tick list. But you try and 257 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:55.799 do well and prepare as best you can for your 258 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:57.279 first round and you don't get a lot of time 259 00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:02.039 to watch matches or enjoy it like like a you know, spectator. 260 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:06.000 Are the things that help you based on your previous 261 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:10.000 win winning experiences? Is it a benefit having been. 262 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.399 Again, it's not my first one, so I'm not in 263 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:16.519 the unknown of what's going on. But it's a different experience. 264 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:18.679 It's a different match, it's a different pressure, it's a 265 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:26.159 different you know, the courts are different. It's it's a 266 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:26.759 new experience. 267 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:28.919 I mean, under nath even if I've played the same 268 00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:33.120 tournament twenty times, you've got different opponents, different components to 269 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:35.519 look out for it components and opponents. 270 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.759 Yeah, it's it's it's something you don't get used to. 271 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:44.000 It's wimbler, it's lovely. 272 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:50.200 Do you think about finances and rankings right now? 273 00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:53.639 No? 274 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:56.360 No, because it looks after itself and then you stress 275 00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:59.080 about it. You know, when I was playing on the 276 00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.320 IF Tour and getting into challenges and you know, trying 277 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:05.640 to find find and keep sponsors, that was kind of 278 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:11.160 tough and really important, but now it's okay. If I lose, 279 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:13.319 I focusing on the next event, which will be UMAG 280 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:16.400 two fifty, you know, just after the second week of Wimbledon, 281 00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:17.519 so we. 282 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:18.480 Go and prepare for that. 283 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:20.640 If you win, then you focus on your second round 284 00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:24.720 or the mixed doubles or you know, you just deal 285 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:26.680 with it as it comes. And I find worrying about 286 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:28.599 that stuff a waste of energy, because I mean, if 287 00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:30.599 you just focus on trying to get better, as I have, 288 00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.640 I've had my best year so far. Because there was 289 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:34.960 a time where I thought, oh, you know, if I 290 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:35.960 win this match, I'll go to. 291 00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:39.960 This ranking and financially make that. But knowing that doesn't 292 00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:42.319 make me play better, and that happens anyway if you win. 293 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:46.440 So just focus on trying to improve, and it kind 294 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:48.559 of takes up takes care of itself, if you know 295 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:48.960 what I mean. 296 00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:52.759 Yeah, Like, if I hit a career high from a 297 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:55.960 third or fourth round, that's great, but I've hit career 298 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:57.319 highs before, and the world doesn't end. 299 00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:03.279 It's all right, I really have time to appreciate it either. 300 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:06.759 Really, it's onto the next you're getting into these events, 301 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:07.839 playing the best players in the world. 302 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:09.400 It's like, right, I want to get better. 303 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:12.319 When the draw comes out for the first round, do 304 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:16.480 you get a to see it before everyone else or 305 00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:17.079 do you just. 306 00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:19.839 Know it comes out on the app? 307 00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:22.759 I think, oh, someone might be there while the drawer's 308 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:25.240 going on, and no, ten minutes before it's official. But 309 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:30.160 you know, I got messaged from Dave who we were playing, 310 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:31.759 and then I went on the app ten minutes later 311 00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:34.920 and it was there. So and this is what I 312 00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:36.839 want to stress to people as well for order of 313 00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:40.599 players and schedules, because I get people. 314 00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:42.359 Asking why are you playing tomorrow? We know at the 315 00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:45.400 same time the public knows. They release it on the 316 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.400 wind app or woman of website and that's how we 317 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:53.839 find out. So I don't know if you don't know 318 00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:56.400 when I'm playing at what day or whatever like that, 319 00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:58.680 I know I'm playing Wednesday or Thursday first round, and 320 00:18:58.680 --> 00:18:59.400 I don't know which. 321 00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:05.240 Let's talk about your opponents. Tell everyone who you got. 322 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:09.079 We've got Joe Salisbury and a real BHA. 323 00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:17.359 Now we know a lot about Joe Salisbury, right, You've 324 00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:20.240 you've played Salisbury multiple times? 325 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:26.240 I want to say, yeah, singles, doubles, but not at 326 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:29.079 this level in the futures and stuff like that. 327 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:35.480 What you expect him from them as a pair other 328 00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:40.480 than the usual, Like, they're both top quality players, aren't they. 329 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:41.720 Yeah? 330 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:43.079 What makes them top quality? 331 00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:47.880 Joseph you know, one of the best athletes in the world. 332 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:50.359 You know, he's powerful, he covers the net very well, 333 00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:51.960 he's big, he's quick. 334 00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:56.759 Ariel but they both volley very well. They're both you know, 335 00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.960 know how to cut the angles off. I'm very clutch. 336 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:03.119 You know, they do everything well. You know, you don't 337 00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:06.640 win slams and make finals and world number whatever. He 338 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:09.440 has been modern nomble when I'm sure he has. But 339 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:11.559 when you were soping three times. 340 00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:14.319 In a row, you don't do that with a dodgy 341 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:17.200 Becken or a dodgy fore And or you know, bad serve. 342 00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:21.559 There's nothing there's nothing clear about either our games where 343 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:23.319 you can go, I'll just do that and you'll be fine. 344 00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:28.039 So it's it's a case of having to go and 345 00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:33.440 execute as well as you can. And it's it's the 346 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:35.359 same whenever you play a top But there's not many 347 00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:38.240 clear plans against guys at this level. 348 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:39.680 Yeah, they're very, very good. 349 00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:42.599 We'll have to play a very good match and you 350 00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:44.480 know if it's whoever executes better. 351 00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:46.960 I suppose if they if they have an. 352 00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:49.960 Off day and they're not serving, returning well, then you've 353 00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:52.119 got a chance if you do those things well. 354 00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:55.559 But it's not. There's no clear tactic, David. If there was, 355 00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:57.359 I wouldn't tell you, because you're going to tell everyone 356 00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:58.000 on the podcast. 357 00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:00.559 I would, yeah, and. 358 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:04.559 Then the right right, what they're going to do is X, 359 00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:06.559 and then everyone would know and then they'll be their 360 00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:09.480 first point when I under arms serve them, they'll be 361 00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:14.279 waiting for it. But no, no jokes aside, there's not 362 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:16.799 you know, you're playing very good players. 363 00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:19.599 It's not a very nice draw. But there aren't that 364 00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:21.799 many draws that you go, oh, that's brilliant. 365 00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:26.680 No, I mean I was looking through the drawer and 366 00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:29.440 there's there's some there's a couple of singles, guys who 367 00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:31.319 are teaming up and stuff like that. 368 00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:34.960 You say that, then surrenderlo and another Argentinian beat cash 369 00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:35.960 glass Ball last week. 370 00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:38.359 Right, Yeah, it's not. 371 00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:41.279 But it's a good draw until you know the guy's 372 00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:43.400 serve and return very well and stay back and rinse 373 00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:46.559 foehands because they can now. Yes, I say the grass 374 00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:48.279 is similar speed to everything else. 375 00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.240 Now yeah, yeah, yeah. 376 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:55.440 So so yeah, there's there's better draws than some. But 377 00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:58.839 it's not like if you took me out there and 378 00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:01.880 put me in that bit of the way better maybe 379 00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:03.880 for a round, maybe for a first round, but you 380 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:05.440 either play a seed in the first round or a 381 00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:06.000 second round. 382 00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:10.079 It's just it's unlucky with playing you know, next one, 383 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:12.839 number one and whatever in the first round and they're 384 00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:13.319 not seeded. 385 00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:14.279 That's unlucky. 386 00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:18.400 Yeah, it's really unlucky. And I suppose this isn't the 387 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.519 Joe Salisbury of eighteen months ago. This is Joe who's 388 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:25.839 had a long break out of well a break out 389 00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:30.640 of the game, and not with his regular doubles partner. 390 00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:34.559 So you know, I'm trying to glean a bit. I'm 391 00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.559 rinked a little bit of hope. 392 00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:40.559 It's all good stuff until they're serving it a first 393 00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:42.079 volley and you go, it's still pretty good. 394 00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:43.400 It's still. 395 00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:48.720 Yeah, he's one with a number of different people. It's 396 00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:51.440 like there are some players that you know, when they 397 00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:53.680 leave their partner, they struggle, but he's one with a 398 00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:57.400 few different people. Yeah, and b has very good as well. 399 00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:00.000 You know, made fine of Eastbourne last year beat Cash Gassall. 400 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.359 They're playing with legue and like these these guys are 401 00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:06.519
