Questions?

Cole.

Hey there.
4
Sorry about the loss, but it's been a remarkable run from qualifiers to the quarterfinal.
5
Can you reflect upon just how maybe, I know it's a little tough to think about now, but how proud of you are of the run, just given that big reset you had in Florida to where you are now?
6
I think the win that I had so far for sure is great,
7
but obviously today in the match I got a lot of chance in the third set, but I didn't took it.
8
That was a bit pity for me to lose this match.
9
But obviously, I could take positive things from U.S.
10
Open this year.
11
Despite the loss, what do you think was the key today?
12
What you could have done to win?
13
What do you think you could have done?
14
Well, obviously, I think that passing shot I missed makes some difference.
15
And of course, I think maybe when she serves second serve,
16
I could be more aggressive sometimes and make a bit less mistake in return because when the rally gets long, I think is where I get more points.
17
So, I mean, today is just a few points makes a difference and that's it.
18
I have nothing to say.
19
Okay.
20
Abel.
21
Congratulations on a nice run, Chinwen.
22
How does your mindset, as you, I know it's right after the match, but looking towards the end of the year, the rest of the tournaments you'll play, how different does your mindset feel now,
23
maybe compared to earlier this year in spring
24
when you were feeling like you couldn't get any rhythm or really have a chance to fight in matches?
25
I think the good thing is I know how to compete better than before and in the beginning of the year.
26
In the beginning of the year I was a bit totally out of tournament rhythm
27
and obviously this tournament helps me to find myself little by little.
28
In the match just today I think there's a lot to learn
29
when I lost loss
30
because there are some decisions in the important moment i wasn't doing doing right
31
and that was also a very physical match for me she got a great serve
32
and i think i have to be really focused to return
33
every single time um in general i could take some positive things
34
and the rest i could go back
35
and to do what i can do better congratulations on your
36
run um what will you carry forward expanding on Ava's question
37
throughout the rest of the year into next year especially having these great comeback wins
38
and those 5-0 down sets um i think tennis also gives me a lesson all the time
39
um that as soon as the match is not over you just have to keep fighting
40
because you never know what can happen in one tennis game
41
and second things is i think there's so much more I still have on myself to improve.
42
So that's the positive things.
43
And yeah, no more I can say.
44
We know how you're different tennis-wise from a year or two years ago.
45
How are you different personality-wise?
46
Well, I would say deep inside me, I haven't changed that much.
47
the things is after an injury because I'm not doing so well so I try to learn like a bit
48
hide a bit my character to don't show that much
49
because you know when you don't have a good result people just judge you
50
but I'm just the same person doesn't matter if I win
51
or if I lost I think the I think it's important to be a good person and then stay humble in life.
52
But sometimes people just don't like when you speak the reality
53
and when you like they like more when you speak fake stuff
54
but that's not how I am I would say I I
55
become better I'm more open compared to two three years ago
56
but the base has never changed I'm still myself yeah last two
57
congratulations you'll get a chance to probably play at home in the next few months and just
58
How relieved and excited are you to have that opportunity now having taken this momentum from this tournament hopefully into the fall?
59
I always I'm so excited to play in China and especially
60
I coming from calling US Open and then reach until here that was a really really difficult journey for me
61
Of course playing at home always I'm more motivated
62
and also in the same time carry on some pressure because I really want to do it well there.
63
But I just want to say, you know, keep calm and just training day by day, you know, focus in the match by match,
64
focus on the present, because when your mind's trying to go everywhere thinking too much, that's not helping for tennis.
65
Last question.
66
That was my question.
67
That was your question.
68
Thank you very much.
69
Thank you.

動画を使ったシャドーイングのステップバイステップガイド
この動画はスピーカーの発言が自然でリズミカルなので、shadowspeak（シャドースピーチ）の練習に最適です。まず、動画を1回聴いて全体の流れを把握しましょう。次に、10秒ほどの短い部分に分け、発言に合わせて即座に繰り返します。この時、イントネーションやポーズも注意して真似しましょう。特に、鄭選手の「I think」「Well」などのつなぎ言葉は、会話を自然にするコツです。3回ほど同じ部分を繰り返した後、スピードを上げて本番に近い感覚で練習します。この方法で英語シャドーイングを続けると、リアルな会話に慣れ、スピーキング力が向上します。動画で英語学習をするメリットは、実際の会話のリズムや感情表現を学べることです。ぜひ毎日10分ほど取り組んでみてください。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
