[ laughter ] >> morning television. >> every buyer on the sideline is going to jump into the market as long as interest rates come down to 5%, 4%. houses are going to go up in price all over again. i wouldn't be surprised if they go up by as much as 10% or 15% when that happens. >> what advice do you have for people who want to buy a home now? first time buyers? >> adjust your horizon. adjust what you're looking for. it's not an easy thing especially when you know your neighbor bought their house at a lower price than you're getting. you have to make better

adjustments. you also have to shop for a mortgage rate. people don't know if you go to your main bank, they'll usually give you one quarter percent off. doesn't sound like a lot but it helps. >> those starter homes not what they used to be. we have another viewer question from curtis on facebook. is it a good time to go with an adjustable rate mortgage? >> of course it is. right now adjustable rates are high. they will adjust down when the rates go down. >> what is your advice for people who have those arms that are about to reset? >> you really only have two choices. pay the bank or get outta town.

we are facing a crisis here in this country with the rate of women dying during child birth that has been increasing for 20 years. racial disparity there as you see with other situations, with black women at higher risk, facing three times the rate of deaths compared to white women during pregnancy. and some women feel and perceive discrimination in their care during pregnancy and delivery. this may discourage them from speaking up, from seeking help. that's part of what this study really got to. >> so what do you think is the biggest take away for women, but in particular minority women? >> listen, i think, no one knows your body better than the person who's in that body, right? so women need to feel empowered, to speak up, to have their conversation with their health care provider, whether it's a doctor or a midwife. you should find a doctor or a midwife that you feel very comfortable with. this is a major life event. bringing a friend or family member with you a always is good idea.

and never, never, never hesitate to speak up if you feel uncomfortable, if you feel something isn't right or if you have questions. >> some medical providers are criticizing this study. why? >> the methodology with this study is getting a lot of kind of side eye view here, in terms of how it was conducted, recall bias, surveys on women five years after their pregnancy ended. not a nationally representative sample. but again, it focused on perception. perception is important. and when you're talking about this crisis, communication is at the hub of it. at the end of the day yesterday, there was a statement issuing, to improve maternal health outcomes it is important that pregnant and post partum patients feel comfortable communicating with members of their health care team. acog knows we need to do better. >> got to talk to the doctor, ask questions. dr. jen, our thanks to you, as always. robin? >> linsey, thank you very much. now to the player who captured the heart of tennis fans around

i didn't know i was going to be able to do that when i showed up. i just wanted to see the show. >> is that lynn? >> lynn came up. super excited to meet us. he's a massive tennis fan. it was great to talk tennis with him. talk music. understand his process and everything. it was great. >> for people who don't know, i just want to recap about who you are and how you got here. lot of folks remember in march down in miami when you cracked 100. >> yes. >> that was something, that was a goal of yours. you really showed such raw emotion. then you go to wimbeldon. you make that great run. now you're, what, 30th in the world. how would you just, in recapping the year that you've had thus far. still have the u.s. open. don't want to get out ahead. how do you look back at the year so far? >> i mean, honestly, it's safe to say this has been the best year of my career. i think to see the range of emotion starting in miami, to see myself kind of finding

myself getting a little stagnant trying to break the top 100. i played pretty bad for a couple weeks after that, knowing one match puts me at the goal i always wanted. then miami just happened like a whirl wind. i got started off in qualifying, advanced to the quarter finals. thought that was going to be the high light of my year. little did i know i had another few good week. one good week in wyorca. two incredible weeks over there. it's all still moving, still processing. i'm able to take a step back and just process everything and use that as motivation to kind of have a strong push for the end of year. >> i'm glad to hear that. now, you were also a commentator, tennis challenge. >> yeah. >> we're going to show a little video of you coming up. can you just kind of commentate on what we're seeing? can we roll the video? >> oh my goodness. you didn't give me a warning about this. >> this is a young chris eubanks. how would you describe your play here? >> oh, man. i just turned 3 around that time. i wasn't strong enough to hold the racket with one hand so my

dad put two hands on both sides. two hand forehand, two hand back hand. that's the easiest way to swing the racket. you'll see me walking with it. i had to kind of twirl it in order to keep it up because i couldn't lift the entire racket myself. those are good memories. those are memories of my dad and i. we spent hours on the court. my older brother was out there recording that video as well. to look back how things have progressed starting from there to where i am now, remarkable. >> good commentating. very good there. do you miss the two-handed backhand? >> i do. that one hand looks pretty but you got to find a way to get it in the court. if i could do it all over again, maybe i'd keep that left hands on it. do you know what? i'm not gonna complain too much. things have been working out. >> been working out very well. you get such great support from others on the tour. coco goff, you're good friends. we saw her in the box lots of times with you at wimbeldon. when you posted about rocket man, she was like you might be rocket man but you're always the giraffe to me. how has her support and support of others helped you?

>> her in particular, it's meant the world. she's like a little sister to me. i have known coco since she was about 6 or 7. she ended up moving back to florida an we connected when i realized, when you were a little girl, we practiced on the same court. from then on it's -- i don't have a younger sibling. she an her younger brother are close as siblings. she's always told me for years, you're good enough. you just got to believe it. i'm like, coco, let me worry about it. i know these guys. they're good. i don't know if i really match up with a lot of these players. she's like, i'm telling you, you can do it. you can do it. for her to sit there and watch what was the biggest win of my career sitting there in the fourth round of wimbeldon and for her to walk through the ground, had her hat and sunglasses on, watched my quarter final match front to end. it's tough on tour to support your friends so it means the world. we're practicing today later at the open. we always try to get one hit in if we can. i texted her right before she

took the title in cincinnati and said, do you want to practice? i texted her coach. i texted her, we're practicing tomorrow? she said, are you asking or telling? i said, telling. looking forward to it. >> she's having a heck of a year as well. okay. u.s. open, what are you looking forward to most? the food, the fans, the crowd, the play? what? so much. >> combination between the crowd and the play, i think. i have always gotten great support at the open. it's always been my favorite tournament to come to as a spectator, to play in. first grand slam i have ever played in. something is telling me this will be different. the support that i have received just in practices. got a chance to practice yesterday. i'm looking forward to that. i want to roll the balls out and play. i'm enjoying the time i get to spend with you and talk to you. at the end of the day i'm here because of what i can do on the
