00:00 Okay there was obviously quite a frustrating moment for you in the second set with the serve that was then over rule
00:05 Can you just talk us through that moment and the frustrations going through your mind at that point? Yeah, I think it was just a
00:11 Overwhelming of everything obviously I'm losing the match and then you know
00:16 When you're playing against her like every every point matters against anybody, but especially against her
00:22 So I think it was just one of those moments, but I overcame it
00:27 I obviously won that game. So I usually don't get too frustrated with like decisions like that
00:33 but I think it was just like an
00:36 Combination of everything going on in the moment just following up on that
00:41 Do you think that that's an area that tennis could bring in some kind of a replay appeal system?
00:48 100% I think it's you know, tennis is the only sport where not only we don't have the VR system
00:55 But a lot of times the decisions are you know made by one person and other sports
01:02 There's usually a multiple refs and and making a decision and I know us open
01:07 I think brought some of it last year believe and I know we used it in our doubles at one point
01:13 So yeah, I definitely think that at this point it is almost
01:18 Ridiculous that we don't have it not also just speaking because that happened to me
01:22 but I just think you know every sport has it and
01:24 also, there's so many decisions that are made and then it sucks as a player to like go back or
01:30 Online and and you see that you were completely right and it's like, you know
01:34 What what does that give you in that moment and also, you know in in situations you can call for the supervisor
01:40 But there's not much they can do from that standpoint
01:43 So I definitely think as a sport we have to evolve and we have the technology
01:49 They're showing it on TV. So I don't get why the player can't see it
