00:00So I guess my question is has it sunk in yet that it's going to be you?
00:07Yes, no, I mean I found out you two days ago. I don't even know at this point, but
00:13No, because like I there's never been a tennis player before and I don't know
00:18I just didn't think I would be that player
00:20but I'm obviously super grateful for my
00:23Fellow team USA athletes for nominating me and allowing me to hold this honor
00:28and I think it means even more when it comes to the peers around me because
00:32They're obviously excellent at what they do and for me to be a part of that excellence means a lot
00:37And yeah, I did cry when I like I wanted to cry when I found out what my whole team was there
00:42So I like went in the corner and like did it

00:48And I don't take it for granted and I I'm gonna try to take it all in and I know this would be a memory
00:52I will remember for the rest of my life
