00:00Last year, I think that right around this time, there was a lot of, in terms of motivation
00:08for you, there was like number one ranking, there's U.S. Open, there's year end number
00:11one, all this sort of stuff.
00:13Maybe a slightly different mentality now, I don't know, but I'm curious how different
00:18it does feel kind of going into the back end of the season this year compared to last year
00:23and whether or not, do you still have small goals?
00:26Are you better with small goals or are you better with big goals, like long-term goals?
00:29Well, I'm better without goals, you know.
00:33I guess small goals, I'm just trying to improve my game and I'm just trying to focus step
00:41by step and be kind of like in the moment and trying to do everything I can in the moment
00:49with what I have because tennis is tricky, you know.
00:53You can feel completely different every day and you just have to work through it.
00:58But yeah, compared to the last year, it's completely different situations, completely
01:03different, I would say, I mean, even ranking-wise and then last Grand Slam, I wasn't able to
01:11play.
01:12It's different things, as I said, I'm working through, you know, but as I said, I'm good
01:20with the small goals and the big goals, I think everyone have the same goals.
01:25Like it's just, you know, it's so obvious.
01:27So we all, yeah, we all have big goals, but I think the key is to focus on the small goals,
01:35small steps.
