[Music] it's a childhood dream it's what I wanted when I was a kid um it's a lot of work a lot of hard work put in and it's just you couldn't even imagine how much goes into it so it would mean the world to me obviously I mean I'm just happy to be in the final but obviously I come here to to want to win the title so um you know if you would have told me at the beginning of the year I'd be in the finals of the US Open I would have like laughed so hard because that just was where my head was was not thinking that I would be here so um to be able to overcome all those challenges and say that I get a chance at the title Saturday is is what we play for as players and um let alone being able to do that you know in my home country here at my you know home slam I mean it's just it's perfect really I mean you play for two weeks and you just want to get to that match knowing that you have a chance uh to win a slam and that's I mean that's what we play for so it's still rewarding even though I know you know the job isn't finished but um yeah I mean all the years of hard work going into it being like you said super resilient um through a lot of different things is um I guess what I've been known for so I guess it's it's nice to see that it's paid off at least the last two weeks and like you said of course I still want to win the tournament but I think being able to break through so many different challenges and barriers you know the last couple weeks or even the last month really for me personally is a massive win to me [Music]
