Tomas Machac On-Court Interview | 2024 US Open Round 2

Tomas you were down a break in the first set you were down a break in the third set sebie looked to have the momentum completely in control how did you turn things around and get this done in three sets today yeah it was uh pretty difficult because I was playing I think from the beginning I was playing solid match and also SEO from the beginning was good good conditions and everything and the beginning of the third set I saw that uh he's like uh shaking with his hands so he has some pain but afterwards he was fighting so much and playing like without any pain so I refocus and start to play again my tennis but I think the the match was great today you are headed to the third round at a slam for the third time in your career you're going to get either Goan or manarino how hungry are you to get to that fourth round for the first time I mean you just focus on the preparation and your game and uh the results hopefully sometimes come so I just believe in myself and I wasn't playing actually good before this tournament look I I make two matches with six straight sets so you never know what happens so just fight and play your game and believe in V game okay this is the first time that many of these OS open fans have seen you since you became one of the stories of the Olympics winning gold with Karina what was that attention like and did you guys consider playing mixed tier yeah we we ask uh each other if we will play or not but uh I I said that I will not play this this time because I will try to focus on Singles and doubles only but unfortunately Jan get injured so we couldn't play doubl so for me just to to focus right now on the singles and uh let's see what's going to happen but next time maybe we will play mix but not not this time sorry guys all right last quick thing for you about five months ago we talked about your role in bringing back short shorts so five months later here's my question have you noticed more more guys in the locker room following your lead yeah some people told me like I'm the short King so it's it's really funny but really I I cannot play like this because it's not comfortable for me so I play like a with you know I don't know if it's nice or not but it's new trend for me huh full range of motion we love it toas best of luck thank you so much appreciate it
