“Me going to college, I think, was a great idea. I went only for two years, but I was able to mature both on and off the court.”

“I'm not very into social media. I'm not that good at it, so I don't do it much. I'm just a troller. I just like to see what's out there. But I don't participate much.”

“I think each college experience is different for everyone.”

“I was at an academy for basically my whole life when I played tennis, so I had the same schedule every single day.”

“If you watch Dominic Thiem and Naomi Osaka, the way the ball comes off the racket is totally different.”

“I think there is always room for improvement, and every day is a chance to get better.”

“I have a very positive outlook on life. And not even tennis. Just even off-court, I would say everything that I'm doing daily, and I hope I continue to think like this and, you know, can enjoy each and every single day.”

“I like competing. Just going out there and battling. Having a game plan and going out there and executing it.”

“Going to UCLA was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made.”

“Yeah, I think the suites have been definitely a game changer here at the US Open, somewhere to relax and chill just with you and your team.”

“You know, I think playing doubles definitely helps your singles game in all aspects. Just being able to get that match practice, match preparation before playing singles matches. Then it also builds confidence just getting wins from doubles, yeah.”

“I decided to go to Germany, because I found a new coach and he was based out of Germany, as well as my trainer there, Daniel.”

“For me, college was a big learning experience on and off the court, just growing as a person, becoming more mature.”

“Before coming into college, I definitely wasn't ready to go pro. I didn't have those results that all the other players had. I didn't have the confidence in my game or myself, or things like that.”

“When I first went to LA. Honestly, it was different for me. The whole thing, the student-athlete part, you know, where the student came before the athlete. That was totally new to me. I had down online school since fifth grade so I never really had sat in a classroom and taken a note.”

“During COVID, I was still training, working on my fitness and my tennis. I was able to practice and play near where I live in Orlando.”

“I have a lot of confidence in my legs, in my strength.”

“So, college was kind of the only option that I looked at, and I was fortunate to have great coaches when I was at UCLA. They helped me improve on and off the court.”

“I would say playing doubles is great for, you know, just in general. For the singles game, as well. You're able to work on returns, serves, aggressive playing. Also able to practice pressure situations.”

“Ever since I was young I've always been told how good I am.”
