- He expressed quiet confidence in competing against top players, including defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, while emphasizing the importance of maintaining focus amid large crowds and high expectations.
- Tarvet stated, "I've worked hard to get this money" and believes he deserves it, while also suggesting NCAA rules should be reviewed though he prefers not to get involved personally.
