We spoke about power of, you know, visualization and preparing yourself for possible scenarios. And I obviously try to play the match in my mind before I go on the court, and I probably could not play this kind of scenario, but I, you know, always try to imagine myself as a winner. I think there is a power to that. And. But also there. There has to be next to the willpower, you know, strength that comes not just from your physical self, but from your. Your mental and emotional self. And. And it's. I. I think it's. Well, for me at least, it's a constant battle within, you know, more than. Than. Than what happens outside. It's. It's really not the situations that you experience that are affecting you, but how you internally experience those situations, how you accept them, how you live through them. So, you know, I just told myself before the match, I'm, you know, gonna try to switch off as much as I can from what is happening around us and just be. Be there, be present.
