So unfortunately I lost in the quarterfinals today. I think it's the first time I've lost in quarters in a while. Coming from last week, I think, like always, I expect myself to do well, and not every week you can play your best. I think today it showed a little bit that I just didn't play well at all. Like, it just didn't come out there, I didn't feel good. I made a lot, of a lot ,of lot of errors. Kudos to Roos. I think she played great. She didn't really fault, didn't miss a drop, didn't miss too many balls. That's good on her for that, but I also put pressure on myself to win more because if you don't win, you don't get paid. So that kind of affects me a lot more. I just I didn't play how I wanted to today, and I'm pretty upset at myself for it.

I still have mixed, so this afternoon I'm gonna rinse all this bad juju off, have a shower, and come back this afternoon, practice for mixed tomorrow because you know I still have two events, mixed and women's, so hopefully I can do well in there. I haven't done too well in doubles lately, but maybe this week's my week. So we'll see.

This afternoon, I'm probably gonna get Chipotle, or I might get an ice cream to help with my feelings. Both, both, judging. I think that's it. Maybe watch some Netflix and just chill.

I'm here in Arizona! I've never been here before, and I'm pretty excited to get started. I've just come off a good week, winning singles at the USA Nationals, so I'm hoping to continue my run! Just trying to get more confidence playing and I heard it gets pretty windy here, so I'm a little little worried, but I'm just excited to start playing.

I'm actually staying with Jada Bui this week, we got an Airbnb together. It's really the first time I've actually shared accommodation with anybody in the APP and that's because I normally stay by myself. I like my space and I'm just a loner, I guess! She reached out, and I was like, "Yeah, let's do it." No one's reached out before, so I was like, "okay, f*ck it. Let's just see what happens." I'm very happy because I love Jada. She's a super nice girl, and we get along really well. We have a nice apartment, we're in a community, so we have a pool, a pickleball court, and a gym. We actually have a lot of restaurants and nice places nearby, so it's perfect. We're living our best life!
