  • First of all, congratulations.

  • You are the champion, US Open champ.

  • How's that sound to you?

  • Um, it sounds really good.

  • Sounds good?

  • Something you dreamed of?

  • Um, yeah.

  • I'm sorry, but it's so weird, like you're a real person.

  • Yes.

  • Yeah.

  • Usually I send a hologram in, but today I

  • wanted to be here for you.

  • So I watched the match.

  • How many people saw the match with Serena that she--

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • It was an incredible match, and you were playing so well.

  • I mean, you clearly you deserved to win.

  • You were amazing.

  • And so, did you think you had a chance of beating her

  • at the finals?

  • Well, I mean, I wouldn't play a match

  • without thinking I had a chance.

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah, I mean, the back of my mind I thought so.

  • Yeah.

  • I don't know if you noticed.

  • There was some controversy that happened on the court.

  • Did you notice that?

  • I didn't notice.

  • You didn't see that?

  • All right.

  • I'll tell you what happened.

  • Let me tell you what happened.

  • So Serena got some calls.

  • So when that was happening, when all that was going on,

  • that must have been-- was distracting for you?

  • Were you just--

  • I mean, because what were you feeling during those moments?

  • When like, when you're little, you're

  • taught not to look at like, if your opponent gets angry

  • or anything.

  • You're told to like, just look like, turn around and try

  • to focus.

  • So I tried to do that.

  • But in my mind, I was sort of, like I really wanted

  • to know what was going on.

  • That-- you didn't know what was going on?

  • No.

  • Because you couldn't hear?

  • Yeah, I couldn't hear, and I was looking away.

  • But, um, I heard a lot of people in the crowd making noises,

  • and I really wanted to turn around but I didn't.

  • Yeah, yeah.

  • So you're done-- you're wondering

  • what the people are making noises for

  • and you're just turning around, which

  • is what you're supposed to do.

  • Well, first of all, everyone is saying--

  • and you know you deserve to win.

  • You were playing an amazing match.

  • I mean, you were just-- your level of play was incredible.

  • And people are calling you like, a young Serena.

  • That's-- you're playing like that.

  • And when you were receiving the trophy,

  • there was a lot of booing in the crowd.

  • And then Serena leaned over and said something to you.

  • What did she say to you?

  • What do you think she said?

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • Girl, you're good.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • No, she's like, that she was proud of me,

  • and that I should know that the crowd wasn't booing at me.

  • So I was really happy that she said that.

  • Yeah, but you knew the crowd wasn't booing at you, right?

  • They were just booing the whole situation

  • that it was just, right?

  • Did you did you think they were booing you?

  • At the time I did kind of think they were booing at me.

  • Oh, no.

  • Because I couldn't tell what was going on

  • because it was just so loud in there.

  • Right.

  • It was a little bit stressful.

  • Yeah.

  • I saw when you pulled the visor over your eyes

  • when they started booing I could see that you

  • were getting very emotional.

  • When you were sitting on the--

  • I wanted to ask you.

  • So you had a towel over your head

  • after you won, and you were sitting down.

  • Were you texting?

  • What was going on under that towel?

  • I saw something happening under the towel?

  • What were you doing?

  • Were you knitting?

  • What were you doing?

  • No, I was reading what I should say just in case--

  • Oh, OK.

  • --for my speech, because I'm not very good at talking.

  • Yeah.

  • Gee, you seem so outgoing and boisterous.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • Well, you're awesome.
