Taylor first of all congratulations what a moment again for you to get this far in the US Open first time you have beaten Casper what did that mean what does this mean to you especially after losing the first set what did you tell yourself to turn it around uh you know I just had to stay in it because I felt like I mean I felt like he he definitely outplayed me in the first set I had some I had some chances he had some chances he took them and that that was really the difference but uh was playing well and you know I I did a really good job to just fight in the beginning of the second to uh get through some tight service games and kind of apply some scoreboard pressure towards the end of the second and then I mean I feel like his his level maybe dropped a little bit it became a bit more uh playable for me I was getting more looks on second serves and then I was able to just kind of get get through it from there yeah I mean tactically after losing the first set and never baiting somebody that's a big mental turnaround for you how proud are you of yourself today because of that yeah I'm I'm happy with uh how I didn't get too too frustrated because I was making um a good amount of mistakes and it was a bit frustrating like I said I feel like I was getting outplayed but I didn't think too much about the head-to-head before you know one meeting was 76 in the third the next one was this year at French and he's pretty he's pretty good on clay so uh yeah I didn't think too much about that but I just I just did a really good job to stay withth it I asked Tommy Paul yesterday you American guys are doing so well in this tournament and with all the upsets that we've had particularly to alcarez and jovic as the roof opens um do you think that gives guys like you the impedence to now start believing why not why not me why isn't it my time are you telling yourself that or are you just taking it one match at a time I'm I'm taking it one match at a time to be honest I think uh sometimes that can add more pressure you know I came in to the tournament in 2022 saying I thought I could win it and I lost first round so uh I think I think it's good to just really take it one match at a time and just focus on the person in front of you well today was a great effort ladies and gentlemen through once again to the quarters Taylor Brit
