Someone help! I Can't Sleep.
I can't catch what the interviewer,
I think who is a British guy, is saying
in this You
Tube video.
Could someone please transcribe that?

1) We thought you’d won it a couple of racks before you did win it.
Rack is a geometric form used to keep the balls in the position before they are broken at the beginning of the game. One 'round' in pool is called 'rack'. From the video, the result says 7 - 6, therefore 13 racks were played. The interviewer tells the winner that everybody knew he'd win even a few 'rounds' before he actually won.
2) You had a shot to win it and then you kinda recreated it for the crowd afterwards. When that shot didn’t go in, did you think, "I've blown it here"?
This one seems as if the player won, but then wanted to entertain the crowd. Unfortunately, that shot didn't go well and he missed (the ball didn't go into the pocket). The interviewer wants to know about Naoyuki's thoughts at that moment, if he was disappointed because of the miss.
Thanks.
