I'm trying to tell Hubie (Hubert Hurkacz) that he doesn't need a tiebreaker in every set.

It's always so much fun to play with the team. We have Tomasz, Iga. Iga brings so much amazing energy. Definitely can learn a lot from her, the way she's playing, the way she's competing. Just really committed to the game and going after the shots, which really is inspiring. Yeah, and the way she plays in the mixed doubles. I think it's a fun format.
