WTSL: That serve sounds important — what did it change first in the match?
HSM09: Serve is not that important, that why i was broken 663747 times
WTSL: You said 'Serve is not that important, that why i was broken 663747 times' — that's rough. What was Halapeno doing on return that led to so many breaks?
HSM09: Jalapeño
WTSL: Thanks — you said 'Jalapeño'. What return pattern did Jalapeño use to break you so often?
HSM09: What’s Jalapeño? Are you hungry? His name is Halapeno
WTSL: Sorry — "It’s Halapeno"; what did Halapeno do on the return to break you so often?
HSM09: Psychological warfare
WTSL: When you focused on that part of the match, did it give you more time or change your shot selection?
HSM09: I don’t like change
WTSL: You said 'I don’t like change' — did that stop you from adjusting tactics when Halapeno changed his return patterns?
HSM09: Look, i was using you for entertainment while I brushed my teeth. Now go away
WTSL: You said 'Look, i was using you for entertainment while I brushed my teeth. Now go away'. Understood, take care. 🏆
