Q. It sounds very easy when you say, Oh, then I was able to pick it up. Is there something that just happens, you get a feeling, Okay, I’m rolling now, or is there something you can actively do to provoke that?
LEARNER TIEN: I mean, if it was something that I was always able to flip a switch, I wouldn’t have come out maybe so flat. But I think just trying to hang around and give myself a shot, give myself time to maybe find that second gear, I think is always important.
I mean, if you’re down a set and double break, by the time you kind of find yourself, I mean, it won’t really make a difference.
So I think I just did a good job of hanging around. Don’t really know what it was today. Just throughout the day during my warm-up, just felt a little bit shot. I feel like just mentally I was in and out, spacing out a little bit, didn’t really feel, like, fully there during the match.
Just felt like, for the first half of the match, I felt just a little down energy-wise, and my thoughts were just kind of everywhere.
Don’t know how I really managed to get it together, but happy I did
