1
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: So one of the episodes that we have for you

2
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: on Recket Magazine is actually a very interesting one with

3
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: our fashion correspondent Andrea Pekovic, and you sat down with

4
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: a very interesting Barbora streets about in China, And you

5
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: have any words to say about that event.

6
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: Well, it was my first interview ever to conduct with

7
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 2: somebody else, so I was very nervous, and I came early,

8
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: and I had all these questions written down. And Barbora

9
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 2: was somebody that's one year older, so I've always watched

10
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 2: her in juniors. She was the best junior in the world,

11
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: and I was very nervous to ask her to get

12
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: her talking right. So I had this whole strategy in

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: my mind made up where I'm like gonna ask her

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: about a fashion to get her talking and then get

15
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: into more in depth stuff. And like three minutes before

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: she's about to appear, I look in my hands and

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: I forgot my notebook of my question, so I'm like

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 2: running coming back sweating. She's already there, like rolling her

19
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: eyes that I'm late, and I'm like, I'm so sorry.

20
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: But she was amazing. She really opened up. I'm not

21
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: sure it was my strategy of making her talk about

22
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 2: fashion first, but I just wanted to get her eclectic

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: side into it because I think she really is someone

24
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: special and eccentric on the court, on the court and

25
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: off the court. So it was a great experience for

26
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: me just for I mean, you've done many of those,

27
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: but it was my first one and it was it

28
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 2: was nerve wrecking in the beginning, but then I kind

29
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 2: of got into it.

30
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm glad we got this virgin virgin to do this

31
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: great interview with Bbora Streetzba, Sorr Andrea. Let's take a listen.

32
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: Okay, if you want to hear it, I can send

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: it to you. So I think I want to what

34
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: do you want to start talking about the window or

35
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: so I want to talk to you about your You

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: have the other Instagram account right where you do your

37
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: fashion and what I went through today, the whole I

38
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 2: went to it before, but today I went through all

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: of it. And what is really interesting to me. Your

40
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: fashion sense is very casual, very cool, right, very Western

41
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: in the sense. And when I come to think of

42
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: somebody who's a fashion icon and the Eastern European states

43
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: like Domitibukoa, her style is very different, very different. I

44
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: don't want to judge mine either. I don't want to judge,

45
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: but that's what normally Because I'm from Serbia, I know

46
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: that's what Eastern Europeans normally go for, right, like fur

47
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: and very out there and very sexy and like high

48
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: heel shiny exactly to us westernners, it's always a little cheap,

49
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 2: but that's what the Eastern Europeans like, and I know it.

50
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: In Serbia, all the girls always wear like high heels, shortressice.

51
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: So why do you think you have this difference.

52
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: I love fashion. I like to shop, but it's not

53
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: the most important for me. I love how they create stuff.

54
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 4: I like to read about it. How was this T

55
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 4: shirt great? Why this T shirt is so expensive?

56
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: So this is really for me interesting and sometimes well

57
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: most of the time in this house is like door channel.

58
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: They make it by hand, and when you see how

59
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 3: they create a dress by door, it's something really special

60
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: and I'm like, okay, that's why we paid this money

61
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 3: for that.

62
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 4: Like twenty five people did the dress, And this is

63
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 4: for me really interesting.

64
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: But the fashion, what I like is that you don't

65
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: have to look shiny and wearing high heels, but you

66
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: can still look.

67
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 4: Sexy different and sophisticated. For example, and this is really

68
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 4: for me.

69
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: You can have a Zara T shirt, secondhand short and

70
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: really expensive shoes, and this is really nice, you know.

71
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: And I like to combine and stuff and I like

72
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: to play with it.

73
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I can see it definitely. But do

74
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: you feel like you're different in the sense when you

75
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: walk out? For example, if you go in New York,

76
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: you probably feel very comfortable. I do, But when you're

77
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: in prag I wonder.

78
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, my family is like, what are you wearing? My

79
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: mom can't go out like that?

80
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: My mom, for example, these shoes, I'm like, yeah, it's

81
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 3: brickerstruck Mom.

82
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 4: I like breakers, Mom, Why you have to wear orange?

83
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 3: And then I wear for example, short, like crazy short,

84
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 3: and she goes like, no, no, you cannot go.

85
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 4: But I feel in my clothes. I feel me and I.

86
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 3: Really don't care what the other things because I feel comfortable.

87
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: I feel confident, and this is really important for me.

88
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: And do you think it was always even when you

89
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 2: were young? I mean I remember you always dressing cool.

90
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: But when do you think did it start you just

91
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 2: had a Do you think you just have a hand.

92
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: Do you think fashion is just your career. It in

93
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: your mind, it's you or yeah.

94
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a that's a good one because sometimes like

95
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 3: we go for dinner and I'm already thinking I was

112
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: to keep your mind off. That's it.

113
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 4: And you don't have to think all the time about tennis.

114
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 3: Sometimes you think about something else, and you know, we

115

00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 4: also do what I like create. And this is what

119
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 4: I was thinking.

120
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: Could you see yourself after tennis to do something in

121
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,400

Speaker 2: Oh really, that's amazing.

126
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 4: I think you would be really good. For example, Andrea,

127
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 4: you know, when we were playing double sometimes she was lovely,

128
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 4: well I'm gonna wear tonight.

129
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: And I was like, hey, you should wear this this

130
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: and she asks me, and I love to help.

131
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 4: Really, so many people like that already.

132
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: That is so cool. So you already built your reputation.

133
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 2: That is so interesting that that's very unique. But actually,

134
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 2: speaking of that, I mean I thought about now. When

135
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 2: I was preparing for this interview, I was thinking about

136
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: you and what came to my mind. Also, the guys

137
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: you're attracted to. Your boyfriends, they were always creative types

138
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: whenever I could remember. I mean even in juniors, you

139
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 2: were dating Patch now, who is not like a normal

140
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 2: ten player. Then I remember your musician boyfriend. Now, your

141
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: boyfriend is a photographer and editor of l magazine magazine.

142
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's also very creative.

143
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: I know, and I don't know why, but I feel

144
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 3: like the people or the character of the boys I

145
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: was dating, and I'm dating.

146
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 4: They. I love when when they see something in a.

00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 3: know about it, and then this is what I like.

151
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: You know, it's just so different and sports people. I'm

152
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: not saying that sports people are right, but for me,

153
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: this is more interesting and I see really beauty in it.

154
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you feel like you missed out on some

155
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: kind of world because you play tennis? And do you

156
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: think you would have been uncreative? Maybe whatever? Maybe No,

157
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: I choose it.

158
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 3: Okay, And I think, well, I know that I I

159
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 3: had a great childhood, a really nice one, and I

160
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: feel like I didn't miss out on anything.

161
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 4: Okay, I really I was a happy child. I choose

162
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 4: the sport and I follow what I like to do.

163
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: I mean. And also the way you play is very creative,

164
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: so in that sense you have this creative side and

165
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:19,239
Speaker 2: the court.

166
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 3: Did you know my dad, I think, oh, yeah, he's

167
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: all a fighter.

168
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 4: He is a hero for me.

169
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 3: Because he's disabled for legs and he had an accident

170
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: and everything. What happened I wasn't born yet, so I

171
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 3: saw him like he learned how to walk again, you know,

172
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: he learned how to do some sports. And to see

173
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: him and being creative of Okay, I'm going to try

174
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 3: to snowboard, but I have to find a way how

175
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: to do it, you know. So these ways showed me

176
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 3: also like maybe I have it after my father.

177
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting, that's very interesting. Do you how did

178
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: it feel for you because you were a number one junior,

179
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 2: right you were always the next big talent. I remember.

180
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: Did you feel the pressure when you came to the

181
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 2: water and the expectations of that, Yes.

182
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 4: A lot. I don't.

183
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 3: I didn't feel it just from the people around me,

184
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 3: but I put it on myself.

185
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 4: And this was the most hard thing for me to

186
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 4: go from number one.

187
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 3: In the world playing seniors. It's just totally different world,

188
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 3: totally different tennis. And the pressure was so huge that

189
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 3: I couldn't handle it. And I didn't know how to

190
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: handle it because I was winning so much engineers and

191
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: suddenly you have losses like first week, second third, and

192
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 3: then somehow like what I'm gonna do? Like I'm losing

193
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: and everybody like what's happening? But it's so different. And

194
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 3: now if my kid would be playing, I would go like, Okay,

195
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: this is just normal. You just have to get in

196
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 3: there and feel the vibe of everything.

197
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 4: It's gonna take time, you know, and tennis is.

198
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 3: Very very difficult sport for women, I think for a

199
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 3: mental mental part.

200
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. Do you feel like you how long do

201
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 2: you think did it take for you to go through

202
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: that phase?

203
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: I think two and a half three years really, because

204
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 3: I start playing, no one expecting anything from you, so

205
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: you're right away.

206
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 4: I was top fifty, and then next year I was

207
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 4: too fifty. Yeah, and then I'm like, okay, I am.

208
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: I'm depressed, I think, yeah, and my my family was like,

209
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 3: what's going on with you?

210
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 4: I was grumpy, I was unhappy. I hate that sport.

211
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then it really took me a long time

212
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 3: to to know that loses are okay, and they come

213
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 3: and they come every week unless you win the tournament. Yes,

214
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 3: but you have to you have to really get into

215
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 3: it and get kind of.

216
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 4: Like get used to it. Yeah, you know, and it's

217
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 4: not really easy, you know.

218
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: Do you think I know, don't tell me. That's what

219
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you. Do you think that now.

220
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course I'm now thirty three, and I take

221
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: loses a little bit differently because then it's not anymore

222
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 3: for me the everything, Yes, but it was for such

223
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: a long time. Yeah, everything, my life, my everything, yes

224
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 3: number one.

225
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 4: Also boyfriends were number two.

226
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, And I don't know if it's really

227
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 3: also good. I'm not sure if it's a good approach,

228
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: but this is how I am and how I take.

229
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 3: If I do something, I do it on hundred percent.

230
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 3: But now sometimes when I lose, I also take it

231
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 3: really hard in a way like did I.

232
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 4: Do something well? I could do this better. I'm hard

233
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 4: on myself. You know.

234
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: I had doubts like why I didn't do that? You know,

235
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 3: I have experience for this, so why I didn't do

236
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: it differently? So sometimes I.

237
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 4: Still have it.

238
00:11:53,880 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: And I think when if you have kind of these thinkings,

239
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 3: you still it's still good that your playing.

240
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, because when you're like I don't care.

241
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, then it's all three years, you know, I know

242
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 3: that it's going to be over soon.

243
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, how soon? Maybe soon?

244
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know.

245
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 3: I was saying this year, it's finished this year, but

246
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: I like Australia.

247
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 2: Okay, so you want to plays and decide.

248
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 3: It's also very hard to finish when you're number one

249
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 3: in the world in doubles, the forty in singles, you know,

250
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: and you're like, Okay, it's maybe hard to finish like

251
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 3: right now.

252
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 5: But.

253
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 3: I feel like maybe it's the time, you know, And

254
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 3: when I feel it one hundred percent, I know I will.

255
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: Go and you will not come back like classic, No,

256
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: you will have to get three kids.

257
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 3: But I well, see, I am thirty three and I

258
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 3: am playing twenty seven years this sport and it gave

259
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 3: me so much where I want to just leave the

260
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 3: sport with a good feeling.

261
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, with happiness.

262
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I don't.

263
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 3: Want to finish like grumpy, nervous baho is like hating

264
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 3: the sport.

265
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I noticed that in maybe the last two

266
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: or three years, you really, I mean, you're still grumpy

267
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: and emotional. But I don't want to stay grumpy. I

268
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: want to say emotional because that's why a lot of

269
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: people love watching you, because you show emotions. You're out there,

270
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: you're living what every point you're playing, you're living it right.

271
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: You fall down, you're happy, you're sad, you're angry, and

272
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 2: that's what we all go through and some show it,

273
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: others don't. But I noticed in the last few years

274
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: that you have gotten better in controlling yourself. Did you

275
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: do it yourself? Did you have somebody that helped you?

276
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 4: Oh? I have five years mental coach.

277
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm working with and I also did it by

278
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 3: myself in a way that I also meditate, and I

279
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 3: tried to.

280
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 4: Every now and then to.

281
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 3: Check myself how I feel, you know, how how I

282
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 3: really react on things, or how I react on people

283
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 3: they pissing me off sometimes you have I have to

284
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 3: do it that I control myself. But I don't want

285
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 3: to control my emotions all the time because when you

286
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 3: control them too much, they for me.

287
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 4: I want to be me, you know, and I need it.

288
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 4: I need to be.

289
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 3: Sometimes a little bit crazier on board because I push

290
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: myself in a limit that I play well. So I

291
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: got better in the controlling and being in balance.

292
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 4: With my emotions.

293
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: It's so interesting that you say, because I have one

294
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: question written down here and said, where does the fire

295
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: that you have come from? What methods do you try?

296
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 2: And do you ever feel like cooling the fire would

297
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: change who you are too much? And that's probably what

298
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: you answer just now, because that's I think it is

299
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: a fine line with somebody who feeds off the emotions

300
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: like you, because I and you many times get angry

301
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: and play better. I've seen you a few times get

302
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: angry and play worse, but there were a few times

303
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: so I see you get like and then the adrenaline

304
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: pushed you to play better. So it's a fine line of.

305
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 3: But it's a fine line but also very difficult to

306
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: find it all the time because there are so many things, like.

307
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 4: You are tired, you're traveling, and I don't know, you

308
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 4: have to you have to play and.

309
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: You have to get like emotional in a way like okay,

310
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 3: it helps me, but I don't want to you know

311
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 3: something thinking and it's it's hard.

312
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 4: But I think training your.

313
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 3: Head is really important, the same as you train your forehand,

314
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 3: cross or observe. And I find out that in a

315
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 3: way like that, I when I'm getting older, I have

316
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 3: to train my head much more interesting than I did before,

317
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 3: which I'm doing with the meditation a lot of there

318
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 3: is a lot of exercise things and also sometimes going

319
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 3: just being in yourself in a way like go for

320
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: a walk and thinking about life, about the tree, how

321
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: it's growing maybe what sounds you know, and then you realize, Okay,

322
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 3: we are in the world, and I have to appreciate

323
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 3: it because I live beautiful world, like beautiful life, and

324
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 3: being appreciated. It also helps me because Teresa gives me

325
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 3: so much.

326
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, I mean I feel the same way. Yeah,

327
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: it's it's the best sport. I hate it, but I

328
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 2: always feel like if you really love something, you have

329
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: to hate it also just as much. That's true, Otherwise

330
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: it's not the real thing.

331
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: You know.

332
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: I hate my boyfriend so many times and then I

333
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: know I really love him.

334
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 4: But I think it poses you to me.

335
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: I think it's only extremes. There is no in between.

336
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: M And actually, speaking of this during Wimbledon, did you

337
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: feel in a different state of mind totally?

338
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 3: What it was?

339
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: What happened? Because first of all, I'm going to tell

340
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: you last year I saw it. I already thought you

341
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: should have played semifinals last year because you lost that

342
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 2: crazy match against Julia. I watched the Ale match and

343
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: I felt like you were better the whole time, and

344
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 2: you just missed the chances for some reason. It wasn't

345
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 2: even all your fault. She sometimes served an as stupid network.

346
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 2: It was like it wasn't meant to be really, as

347
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 2: if somebody.

348
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 4: I was saying that. After that, it was.

349
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 2: So crazy because I watched the whole third set and

350
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 2: it was really like you did everything, you played better,

351
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 2: you were the better player, and every time you were disclose,

352
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 2: some shit would happen. Yeah, like some audience member falls

353
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 2: into the crowd. It was crazy. So I wonder how

354
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: you bounced back from that and then coming back to

355
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 2: Wimbledon and just winning everything basically play off the tournament.

356
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 3: It was something I cannot really describe, but I tried,

357
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 3: because at the beginning of this year, I was like, Okay,

358
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 3: my focus in on Membledon, just wing bulletin.

359
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna play.

360
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 3: But we try to everybody try to.

361
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 4: Do everything for me.

362
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 3: I will perform wmblood okay, but you know sometimes when

363
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 3: you put much pressure, Okay, now it's here and I'm

364
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 3: gonna do it.

365
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 4: No.

366
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 3: But then I was playing Birmingham and I was thinking

367
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 3: a lot about maybe being my last wimblaodon, you know,

368
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 3: being my last grass court season, and I'm like, okay.

369
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: Did it make you sad both ways? Okay?

370
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 4: So I was like okay, but I love to play

371
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 4: on grass.

372
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 3: It's gonna be sad that I will not be playing

373
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 3: anymore and this and that, so I try to enjoy

374
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: every moment of it. But I try to enjoy also

375
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 3: the fairness, also the doubts. And I practiced my head

376
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 3: a lot the days. And then when I arrived to rembledon,

377
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 3: I was playing first rounds, which I played last.

378
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 2: Year in the first round.

379
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 3: Possible, yeah, the second I played the second round year

380
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 3: and I was like, well, anyway doesn't matter. So the

381
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 3: first rounds are always.

382
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: The toughest ones.

383
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 3: And I approached the match and I felt like wow,

384
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 3: but I really looking forward to play that match. You know,

385
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 3: sometimes the nerves takes you that feeling like I'm tired

386
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 3: going to the matches, and that time like wow, I

387
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 3: am full of energy and this and and I was

388
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: like this is a new feeling.

389
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 4: Okay, just just playing. I want six three six too,

390
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 4: And it's good. And second round you play see the moon.

391
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 3: But the hours between the first and second round, like

392
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 3: this one day off and we were also playing doubles,

393
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 3: was like so different in a way that I really

394
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 3: felt I didn't feel anyone around me.

395
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 4: I just was in my world.

396
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 3: Okay, there was two coaches of mine and I had

397
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 3: a house like every every year. But I was so

398
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 3: calm in myself that I was like, nothing's gonna break me,

399
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 3: nothing's gonna happen.

400
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 4: And then this was getting better and better, and I

401
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 4: was feeling like more fresher pressure.

402
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 3: I found nothing. I was feeling my body like you

403
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 3: see nothing. And it comes to the quarterfinal against and

404
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, wow, being in the semi final, trying to

405
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 3: be in the semifinal of Grandson would be nice, but

406
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 3: to be honest, I was really nervous playing on second.

407
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 4: I don't slay.

408
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 2: There every Yeah, so I'm against.

409
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 3: Player and I go there one flour and okay, it

410
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 3: doesn't matter, but I'm gonna still fight every freaking point

411
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 3: and I don't care what's the score. I didn't I

412
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 3: lost the track of the scores.

413
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 4: Also, you know how.

414
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 3: I was into my head and I was realizing, okay,

415
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 3: really and.

416
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 4: Blah, and then suddenly I want And it was.

417
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 3: The calmness I had insight of my body was incredible.

418
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 2: Where do you think it came from?

419
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 3: Well, I think it came from being free of fearness

420
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 3: because we are scared. Everyone is scared, but allowed the

421
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 3: feeling and the thinking of being scared helped me. Okay,

422
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 3: it's here, it's here, but just be here and I

423
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 3: don't care.

424
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 4: I just focus on what I have to do.

425
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 3: And that was it really simple, and that helped me

426
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 3: to play good. And that helped me to win in

427
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 3: doubles number one because so many things happened. I could

428
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 3: be number one in first Grandston in doubles then if

429
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 3: in single?

430
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: I know, but how do you combine? How did you

431
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 2: combine it? Is it separate to you? Is it together?

432
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 2: Do you see yourself as a singles player, as a

433
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 2: doubles player, just as a tennis.

434
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 4: Player, well as a tennis player.

435
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 3: I don't really take it. Okay now I'm doubles now singles,

436
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 3: but it helped me. The double helped me for not

437
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 3: thinking too much about the singles.

438
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 2: You know.

439
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 4: So everything okay I want huh, yes, good, but I

440
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 4: have doubles. Now I have to focus on doubles, you know.

441
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 3: And the most difficult for me was the wait for.

442
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 2: The final because it was Sunday.

443
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 3: Well, it was supposed to be on Saturday after the

444
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 3: men's doubles, but they played five and a half hours.

445
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 4: They cancel us after five hours.

446
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 3: Then we played after the singles of men, which they

447
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 3: played five hours.

448
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 4: We were the last match of the tournament.

449
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 3: We finished at eight thirty in the evening, winning and

450
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 3: going to the gala, and so many things happened.

451
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 4: And I was like, stop, stop, I just want to realize.

452
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 2: What just what is going on? And you have to

453
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 2: run from what?

454
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 4: And I have to say, like two weeks later, I

455
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 4: realized it.

456
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 2: Really I cried.

457
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 3: I was like so exhausted, and I was like, what

458
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 3: was going on? And I tried to realize the feeling.

459
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 3: It was so special, and to be honest, I think

460
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 3: it was the highlight of my life, of my tennis career.

461
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 2: It was just it, yeah, I'm getting this, but it's

462
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: you have a really nice way of telling it and

463
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 2: like explaining the feelings because but it seemed to me

464
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 2: also like you just trusted yourself.

465
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 3: They helped me to do maybe some tactic or help

466
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 3: me what I'm doing, but I was just with myself.

467
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,239
Speaker 4: There was no one else. Okay, I know what I

468
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 4: had to do there.

469
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 3: I know when I was in in a hit, I

470
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 3: know what I had to do there. And on the

471
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 3: court I just saw the lines the tennis bowl and

472
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 3: my movement.

473
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 4: That was it. Nothing else.

474
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 2: You were like in a supermeditation. Yes, like supermeditation.

475
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 4: And that's what I said.

476
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 3: After for an interview, they asked me like, okay, what

477
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 3: was the best thing?

478
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 4: I of course we want. I am number one and

479
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 4: semi final.

480
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 2: It's great.

481
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 3: But for me, the most the biggest trophy was that

482
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 3: I overcome my thoughts.

483
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: Did you overcame your doubts and your fear.

484
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 3: Totally that this is the biggest success for you?

485
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 2: Yeah? And do you think you can do that on

486
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: a regular basis.

487
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 4: It's tough. I tried to be honest.

488
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 3: It's also very difficult when you have so high and

489
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 3: to go.

490
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 4: Suddenly again there practice from there. Okay, now it's.

491
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 3: Again and I have to practice, I have to go

492
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 3: to a tournament.

493
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 4: It's really difficult for me.

494
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 3: It was difficult for me, and I try every day

495
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 3: to find this, this moments of calmness.

496
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 4: But it's different.

497
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 2: Do you see yourself in ten years with a family

498
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 2: or do you see yourself? Do you see yourself in

499
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 2: Czech Republic? Do you see yourself in New York? In Paris?

500
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 4: So sure, I see my self is a family.

501
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 3: I would like to have a kid very soon, and

502
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 3: I for right now, I feel like being in check.

503
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 4: In check with a family. And but I don't want

504
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 4: to miss out on traveling. I want to travel, but

505
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 4: differently than now.

506
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 3: This is for me, not really traveling, but to see

507
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 3: the world in a perspective like, Okay, I want.

508
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 4: To see Rome, not the courts, but I want to

509
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 4: see Rome, you know, so I want to do that.

510
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 4: But also with the kid.

511
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 3: Why not I want to be stuck in home for

512
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 3: ten years with a kid.

513
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 2: No, I think you will also get bored.

514
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 4: I don't know, child, I don't know.

515
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 2: No, not yet, I don't know. We'll see. I mean,

516
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 2: I'm you're eighty five.

517
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 4: Right, eighty six?

518
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 2: Eighty six? Yea, I'm eighty seven, so I'm close to you. Yeah,

519
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 2: we'll see. I don't know yet, do you. I want

520
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 2: to ask you one more thing, and it doesn't have

521
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 2: to be really personal. I just want to ask you

522
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 2: from a state of mind. When you with Yakub, how

523
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 2: was it for you to differentiate the relationship and the coaching.

524
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: Do you think that was healthy? Do you think it

525
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: taught you something or was it just a mess? I

526
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 2: mean we were both young also were.

527
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 4: We got married. I was twenty, he was twenty six.

528
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: But Yakoop is a great person, and at the beginning

529
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: we were he was still playing and he was not

530
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 3: really at the time doing well. So we decided he

531
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 3: will coach me and he will train me, and this

532
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 3: and that. Of course, first one two years were great,

533
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 3: but suddenly the tennis is so involved in your life

534
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 3: and in your relationship that we both forget that we

535
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 3: have a marriage, so that we also sometimes have to

536
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 3: go for a date not.

537
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 4: To think about what we need.

538
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 3: And it was more and more these things, and from

539
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 3: my point of view, I would never do that, never

540
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 3: date a coach, because it doesn't help you for your

541
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 3: love life. It doesn't help for anything because I am

542
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: emotional and he is also in a different way, and

543
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 3: we couldn't combine it together. Yeah, but he taught me

544
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 3: also now looking back that then.

545
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 4: It's not everything.

546
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's where you learned to that you have

547
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 2: two differentiate.

548
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 4: Sometimes you realized it pretty late.

549
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean you were super young. You were twenty,

550
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 2: very young, Because I mean that's now I thought when

551
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: I was twenty, I thought, I'm so wise and I

552
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 2: know everything. About life now that I'm thirty two, I

553
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 2: think back I was like you were a kid, like,

554
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: calm down, slow your role. What do you think you know?

555
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 2: But you don't know that. Back then you think you're

556
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 2: so smart and you're the smartest person in the world.

557
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, I'm just gonna I think I

558
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: asked you everything that I asked wanted to ask you,

559
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,959
Speaker 2: or maybe uh, this is something they've wanted to know.

560
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 2: He wanted to know how it was growing up. That's

561
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 2: the last thing I'm going to ask you. I don't

562
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 2: want to take too much of it. Okay, how is

563
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 2: it to grow up in the Czech Republic as a

564
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: tennis player? Because there are so many good tennis players,

565
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 2: so many talented girls, it's crazy. How was it for you?

566
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 2: Because in many other countries you would have been number

567
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: one probably or two for twenty years, and here you

568
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 2: are in the Czech Republic. You're one of the best

569
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 2: players in the world and you're four in the country. Five.

570
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 2: I mean, probably it pushes you also to get better.

571
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 2: But how do you why do you think first of

572
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 2: all that is and what is in the check water?

573
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 3: Well, so many many people ask me this question, and

574
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 3: the answer is I really don't know, but.

575
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 4: I think in the women's side, I think we push ourselves.

576
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's motivates us that if Petra do do well,

577
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, I want to be well as well.

578
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 4: So maybe we.

579
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 3: Push ourselves to play better and better, and especially in

580
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: fed Cup like we sometimes you know, girls can be

581
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 3: not really get.

582
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 4: Long, but we can do that. For one week we

583
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 4: can or three weeks it was.

584
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 3: We could do that, and that was the power of

585
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 3: I think our team. But when when we grow up

586
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 3: or when I grew up, I was playing miss Eva

587
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 3: hear Ginova and Bilsen and we have so many tennis

588
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 3: courts around the country, and I think we also have

589
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 3: really good coaches.

590
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, you do have good coaches and the good technique.

591
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 4: They think just the way how we.

592
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 3: Should practice and also that helps us for the for

593
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 3: the later years.

594
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 2: Do you were you happy to have this one moment

595
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 2: in Wimbledon for yourself? I mean, you know, it's nice

596
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 2: when the other I know how it is. It's nice

597
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: when the other girls do well. But for once there

598
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: was your Wimbledon.

599
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 3: You know, this was the was the most every person

600
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 3: I think because I try this for thirty three years

601
00:29:58,480 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 3: and then I.

602
00:29:58,960 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 4: Was two years old.

603
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 3: I will there is my grandpa in the news room

604
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 3: and I was telling him, okay one day that I'm

605
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 3: gonna play here, and then that happens.

606
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 4: And you try every year. This time didn't work against Julia.

607
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 4: It's never gonna work. Yeah, no, suddenly this happens. It

608
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 4: was something like, wow.

609
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 2: So special. Yeah that's nice. I mean it makes it

610
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 2: more special. But did you do you have? I mean,

611
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: this is not for this I'm asking you. Did you

612
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 2: did Was the match against Julia in your head in

613
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 2: this year? Not at all?

614
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 4: I didn't think about it once.

615
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 2: That's really good. Do you think about it now that

616
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 2: I asked you? Did you think after? Maybe? I just

617
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: think about it right now when I ask, because to

618
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 2: me it was amazing. I followed tennis like I love

619
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: to watch match. I love it, and many times I

620
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: see things like this where a match is like cursed

621
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: for one of the players, where she's the better player

622
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 2: and it just doesn't seem to be happening. The other

623
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 2: one gets lucky, you get a bad car, whatever it is,

624
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 2: it's like cursed. And most of the time the girls

625
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 2: come back to your place. Yeah, And like Nomi Osaka

626
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 2: when she wondered Use Open a year before. She had

627
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 2: five to one against Madison Keys in the third round

628
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: on Arthur Ash and an easy volley like this, and

629
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: somebody in the crowd yells like ah, and she like

630
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 2: and misses the volley and loses the match, right, And

631
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 2: she was crying and she was devastated and impressed, and

632
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: everyone's like, oh my god, she's never going to recover

633
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 2: from this. I mean she was seventeen, she was young,

634
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 2: but still, you know, it was a tough one to lose.

635
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 2: And she comes back next to you and whins the

636
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 2: whole tournament, right, I mean nobody expects it. Maybe that.

637
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 2: But what I want to say, when you put yourself

638
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 2: back in positions, something.

639
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 3: Something click or something, maybe you don't expect anything anymore.

640
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you are devastated.

641
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,640

Speaker 3: I'm here again.

643
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 4: But whatever.

644
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,600
