He shares taking a six-hour IQ test (158), learning to manage overthinking and anger on court, and what clicked during his Cincinnati run, confidence from qualifying, playing free as an underdog, and a “delusional” mindset of being the favorite. Atmane also discusses the Fermi paradox and believing in aliens, French-player camaraderie (including Gaël Monfils), sneaker culture, and a Pokémon collection he values around $500k–$600k.
