LAST NIGHT. AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE. >> KNOWS HE LOVES SEEING YOU IN THE PLAYER BOX FOR JESSICA PEGULA. YOU ARE NOT RESERVED AT ALL. WE CAN ACTUALLY HEAR YOU. IT'S FANTASTIC STUFF. WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO MOTIVATE HER, GET HER TO VICTORIES AND IT'S BEEN A GREAT RUN. SHE'S WON 11 OF HER LAST 12 MATCHES. WHAT'S BEEN THE BIGGEST KEY TO THAT CURRENT SUCCESS? >> YEAH, I MEAN JESS IS PLAYING WELL OBVIOUSLY. YOU KNOW, SHE HAD A BUMPY ROAD AT THE START OF THE YEAR WITH A COUPLE OF INJURIES AND THEN KIND OF WHEN SHE GOT THINGS GOING REALLY GOOD. AFTER CHARLESTON, SHE SUFFERED ANOTHER INJURY, AND AS YOU GUYS HAVE MENTIONED, RIGHT, IT'S A TRICKY CALENDAR YEAR OBVIOUSLY WITH THE OLYMPICS AS WELL. CHANGE THE SURFACES. I THINK THE ONE THING WE FOCUSED ON, ESPECIALLY SHE FELT A LITTLE BIT DISAPPOINTED, YOU KNOW, AFTER HER RESULTS AT WIMBLEDON WAS, HEY, YOU KNOW, THE WAY THE CALENDAR IS SUCH A ROLLING CALENDAR. JUST KIND OF CLOSE THE BOOK. YOU'RE GOING BACK TO HARD COURTS, WHICH YOU LOVE. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ACTUALLY PLAYING WELL, RIGHT? SHE DIDN'T NECESSARILY GET THE RESULTS SHE WANTED AT WIMBLEDON AND THE OLYMPICS, BUT SHE KNEW SHE WAS PLAYING WELL. AND SO IT WAS MORE JUST KEEPING THINGS REALLY POSITIVE. YOU KNOW, AS A PLAYER, WHEN YOU GET BACK TO A PLACE WHERE YOU PLAY WELL, OBVIOUSLY SHE WAS DEFENDING THE TITLE UP IN CANADA RATHER THAN THINKING ABOUT DEFENDING. IT WAS LIKE, HEY, IT'S ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO WIN ANOTHER TITLE, SO SHE HAD A REALLY GOOD MINDSET. AND, YOU KNOW, FORTUNATELY, SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THROUGH SOME MATCHES EARLY. AND AS YOU KNOW, WITH TOP PLAYERS, ONCE THEY START TO GET SOME CONFIDENCE, THEY START ROLLING. AND SHE'S AT A REALLY GOOD PLACE RIGHT NOW. >> CERTAINLY IS. WE SHOWED A CLIP EARLIER IN THE SHOW NOTES OF JESS TAKING THE SUBWAY FROM MIDTOWN ALL THE WAY TO SITE. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? ARE YOU SHOOTING THIS VIDEO? ARE YOU GOING WITH HER? ARE YOU TAKING THAT COURTESY CAR? >> NO. IT'S GOOD THAT SHE'S HUMBLE AND YOU KNOW, REALLY DOWN TO EARTH. SHE'S TAKING THE SUBWAY. I ACTUALLY TAKE A CHOPPER OVER, I DON'T STAY AS GROUNDED, BUT. NO, I MEAN, JESS IS, YOU KNOW, FOR THOSE THAT KNOW HER, SHE'S. SHE'S A FANTASTIC YOUNG LADY, VERY HUMBLE, YOU KNOW, WE TOOK A COUPLE TRAINS, ACTUALLY, WHEN WE WERE OVER IN ENGLAND AS WELL, GOING FROM EASTBOURNE TO WIMBLEDON. SO, YOU KNOW, SHE'S JUST A REALLY GREAT, GREAT YOUNG LADY. >> KNOWS JESS IS OBVIOUSLY THE PROBABLY THE PRIMARY NAME THAT COMES TO MIND ON THE WOMEN'S SIDE WITH THE FORM THAT SHE'S HAD. BUT DO YOU THINK ON THE WOMEN'S SIDE OR THE MEN'S SIDE, WE MAY SEE A FIRST TIME SLAM WINNER? >> YEAH. I MEAN, YOU'D HAVE TO THINK ON THE WOMEN, RIGHT? WE'VE SEEN SO MANY OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF SEASONS. OBVIOUSLY, SABALENKA PLAYED EXTREMELY WELL IN THAT FINAL AGAINST PEGULA, IN CINCINNATI. SO YOU'D PROBABLY HAVE TO PUT HER DOWN AS THE FAVORITE COMING IN. BUT AS YOU KNOW, THERE'S SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES OUT THERE, SO MANY GOOD PLAYERS AND SOME OF THE YOUNG AMERICANS DOING REALLY WELL ON THE WOMEN'S SIDE. RIGHT. PEYTON STEARNS COMING THROUGH. ASHLYN KRUGER WITH A BIG WIN. SO YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN. OBVIOUSLY A COUPLE OF BIG NAMES MISSING WITH RYBAKINA HAVING TO WITHDRAW. BUT YOU KNOW YOU NEVER KNOW OPPORTUNITIES THERE. AND I'M ALSO EXCITED ON THE MEN'S SIDE I HAVE A FEELING, YOU KNOW, THAT THERE'S AMERICAN MAN THERE THAT CAN DO REALLY WELL. SO I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE FUN. IT'S ALWAYS EXCITING THESE GRAND SLAMS, RIGHT. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. AND LAST NIGHT WAS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THAT. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT CARLOS ALCARAZ WOULD GO OUT IN STRAIGHTS I SURE DIDN'T. >> YEAH, REAL SHOCKER. THANKS FOR WAKING UP EARLY FOR US. THIS MORNING. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND TEAM PEGULA THE REST OF THE TOURNAMENT, AND HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON IN PERSON.
