It was just one of those days. Probably April or May was my last bad match. If I only have a bad match every nine months, it's OK.

I knew I needed a hold to win that match,
best giving great happy open
I'm really happy to be in the semifinals. This is the best that I've done at the U.S. Open in my career, which I think is amazing. I'll be giving everything that I have. Hopefully, it will be a great match.

I'm healthy now. I probably wouldn't say I'm at my best fitness level and I haven't played that much lately, but I'm healthy and that's all that matters.

I didnt want my opponent to know there was anything wrong with me.

I definitely need clarity.
