I’ve been practising well, and I think regardless of the result, I know that overall, I’m doing the right things more and more, day to day.“It will come together eventually. It might not be next week, but I know it’s coming.“I obviously wanted to be seeded here at the US Open.“I think I was one spot out, maybe the highest-ranked unseeded player.“Everything, in a way, I feel happens for a reason. I was seeded in Cincinnati, and I played Aryna [Sabalenka] third round, so it doesn’t really matter.“You can be a low seed, and you can be put with the No 1 or 2 seeds. It is complete luck of the draw.“I know that with what I’m doing, I just need to focus on my own stuff, my own game, and then take it to whoever I’m playing as best as I can.”
