'Awkward moment': De Minaur on beating his friend Jordan Thompson at the US Open

Tomy I I see him every day at the courts right and we have a chat and and we talk kind of uh normally and and all of a sudden we're we're playing each other so we're kind of we're both we we still say hello to each other but we probably don't engage in in as lengthy conversation as as we would normally uh not that we have anything against each other it's just a little bit of That Awkward Moment that we know that we're about to play each other and then when we're on the court we know each other so well uh from years and years that I think we both know how to make each other play badly in the sense of we know each other's weaknesses so all of a sudden the the level of the match becomes always a little bit Scrappy uh that plus uh obviously a bit of nerves from from both of us it it doesn't always equate to to the best quality match but I think the the best thing is as soon as we're done we're both back to normal
