Speaker 2: England Lawn Tennis Center Media Center that.

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: We decided to trap the episode in two.

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 3: I mean, we have so much to talk about with her,

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 3: and she had so much to tell us, and we

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 3: just couldn't get enough, and we thought you guys could

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 3: not have.

12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: Possibly had enough.

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 3: She talks about everything from her speech at the Strain

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: open to being the reason why she.

15
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: Was called Asie Kim dressing a fan in a skirt.

16
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, guess what which I was a part of?

17
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:46,879

18
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: the court. That's one spoiler alert.

19
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: We might or might not have made a pact to

20
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: get matching tattoos.

21
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,840

31
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:14,480

32
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 4: You know, we have a home in New Jersey, and

33
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 4: obviously my husband's my husband is American and we we

34
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 4: it's his family's all there.

35
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: They try to come and visit us when they can.

36
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: His brothers were just over and his.

37
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 4: Parents, you know, his mom helps a lot, like when

38
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 4: I've had you know, either Jada or Blake, Like she's

39
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 4: come over and stayed for a month, sometimes two months.

40
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: To it to help out.

41
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 4: And so I've gotten a lot of help from her.

42
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 4: But yeah, for my husband still because he has his

43
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 4: you know, his basketball, so he doesn't get to go

44
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 4: like home, let's say, for about ten months out of

45
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 4: the year, and then so usually in the summer break

46
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 4: we try to spend.

47
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I would rather be in Belgium. I think

48
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: we like being in Belgium.

49
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 4: We feel like after this, you know, when we come home,

50
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 4: or when we're about to leave, or when we've been

51
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 4: in America for four or five weeks and we're ready

52
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 4: to go home again, back to Belgium, because I think

53
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: we have our routine life, and when we go to

54
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 4: the States. Now, Jada thinks Jada wants to live in

55
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 4: America because she thinks it's always sunny because we're always

56
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 4: there in the summer.

57
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: She has no school. She gets to like spend time

58
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: with all her cousins.

59
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 4: And stay up plaid, stay up plate, and she does

60
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: you know, she does surf camp. She goes to like parties,

61
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 4: and and we have a lot of people and friends

62
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: come over from Brian from college back when he was

63
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 4: you know, playing basketball, and they come visit us.

64
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: So there's always something to do.

65
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 4: And we're in Belgium, you know, everything is a little

66
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 4: bit more strict and organized.

67
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: And school, she has school, So it will be an

68
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: adjustment if we ever decide to move. Would would you

69
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: would you move? Yeah? I mean, I don't mind.

70
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: I don't feel I know, I know, but I do

71
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 4: feel like because we have that European base of our

72
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 4: European lifestyle that I think it I would always keep

73
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 4: that even if I would.

74
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: Live in America. I think America.

75
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 4: Living in America, I think is very convenient. Politics in

76
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 4: America aren't in Belgium. Aren't gray either does in every

77
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 4: country there's something or somebody.

78
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: That you're you know, maybe disgusted by.

79
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 5: But yeah, you guys had French and Flemish.

80
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, of course there's always something you know that's

81
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: not how it should be. But but we tried to

82
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 4: do what how we think it works for us. That's great,

83
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 4: and that would be the same wherever we live. Of course,

84
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 4: I've always said I would love to live in Australia.

85
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: Well they've adopted you. Yeah, but even before that I

86
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. No, never sure they would if you asked.

87
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. Maybe we'll get to work. Yeah,

88
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: but New Jersey is a very different place. I like it.

89
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 4: I mean there were Belgian tennis plays, American tennis players

90
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 4: like Marty Fish and like they were like, so where is.

91
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: Your husband from?

92
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 4: Or they remember him from when he was playing college basketball,

93
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 4: and and yeah, New Jersey is like oh, they felt

94
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 4: like sorry for me.

95
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, like, you know, where am I

96
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: going to end up here? And then where is it?

97
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 4: It's in Belmar, It's at this beach on the beach,

98
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 4: Like we literally lived like one hundred meters from the beach.

99
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: I don't know, yeah, close by, so.

100
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: Easy lifestyle. That's actually pretty good. It's very relaxed, and

101
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: we still get to go to the city and then

102
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: when we feel like doing something, you know more likely No, no, no.

103
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 4: No, not at it's the first let's say, forty minutes

104
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 4: out of the airport are horrible, and then all of

105
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 4: a sudden, there's like this green patch and then you're

106
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 4: it's a different world. Yes, I heard my thumb. I

107
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 4: was playing basketball with our daughter.

108
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: Oh you play, I try, I try. I enjoy it.

109
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: I've always liked to do different.

110
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 4: Things, even as workouts or when I was, you know,

111
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 4: training for tennis. I always wanted a lot of variety

112
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 4: in my workouts. I can whatever we found.

113
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: Ye, I wasn't.

114
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 4: I didn't enjoy like running for an hour, and I

115
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 4: always trying to put variety in it. And even now,

116
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 4: like we tried to work out, like we put a

00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 4: I rent this little apartment here, so I had some people,

148
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: like some Belgians. We had actually had a couple of

149
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 4: Belgians that we're still playing and and and so we

150
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 4: got some little snacks and so few people there were

151
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 4: seven of us, I think, but then all the emotions, yes,

152
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 4: because we were down there too. And then you know,

153
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 4: ended up winning at the in the last thirty seconds

154
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 4: of the game, but it was we were so like

155
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 4: believed and happy all that time, and then we had

156
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 4: adrenaline rushed of course, and then we went after the

157
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 4: dog and Fox with which.

158
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: Is like a popular pub up here. Hardly ever do

159
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: they play the.

160
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 4: National anthem in Belgium, but there they did, and some

161
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 4: of the kids, the little kids were dressed up and

162
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 4: they and Brian, my husband is there, and they you know,

163
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 4: started playing the national anthem.

164
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: And he was like, there is nobody getting up, Like

165
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: everybody stayed in their seat and listened, like was quiet.

166
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 4: But it's like in America, it's such a it's a

167
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 4: different there's a different vibe, you know, different. Yeah, Like

168
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: I get goosebumps when I hear the American, dude. I

169
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 4: mean especially also when I when I've been at the

170
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 4: US Open, and also they played the American then the

171
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 4: national anthem, I get goosebumps, Like before my match I'm

172
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 4: like ool, like it's it's because you feel how howsports

173
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 4: and in Belgium we don't, we don't have it.

174
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: I can't tell if that's a good thing or a

175
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: bad thing.

176
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know, especially at the US Open, where

177
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 4: you feel like the stadium, I mean, let's say like

178
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,119
Speaker 4: a US Open. Yeah, but but it's the loudest grass

179
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 4: slam too, Like it's hard to to quiet a New

180
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 4: York crowd at the US Open. And and then all

181
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 4: of a sudden it goes from like always like a

182
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 4: buzz and like like you know, you always better like

183
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 4: whatever potato chip something, glasses clinging, like there's always noise. Yeah,

184
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 4: but then when you hand the national anthem and everybody

185
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 4: gets up and looks, you know, at the flag and

186
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 4: and it's a different It's it's very.

187
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, like the energy changes within a second.

188
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 5: It must be on the court at Arthur ash Stadium. Yeah,

189
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 5: very unique as a player.

190
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's you know usually like before a final,

191
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 4: like it's it's it is at night as well, and

192
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 4: you know, so.

193
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: The whole moment is it is Yeah, it's a that's

194
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: kind of cool. It is cool. It is the Olympics,

195
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: like that.

196
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 4: A different I mean for me as a Belgian. I

197
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: mean I enjoyed playing the Olympics, but again you don't

198
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 4: have that same.

199
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, feeling of patriotism.

200
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, Do you think that's a Belgian there or

201
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 7: I think so, Yeah, I think it's a Belgian thing.

202
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

203
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: I think we're very.

204
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 4: I'm not saying individual, but like also like with our

205
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 4: feet on the ground kind of like like clear minded,

206
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 4: like we don't you.

207
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 7: Don't get swept up in emotional No, not a lot

208
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 7: like that. No, no, no, well.

209
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 5: That was what it was. So I was always so

210
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 5: interesting to me about Justine because in America a lot

211
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 5: of us sort.

212
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: Of like thought of her as French just because obviously

213
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: she's French speaking in the French part of the country.

214
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 5: And you have been adopted and it's partly maybe because

215
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 5: you married an American, but you've been adopted by these

216
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 5: English speaking countries because you feel maybe more like us.

217
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do.

218
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 4: And I remember when I was a little girl, or

219
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 4: you know, when I was eleven, twelve, thirteen years old,

220
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 4: going to the States for the first time. To me,

221
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 4: it was like like literally a dream come true, like whatever,

222
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 4: like watching TV shows, to music, to the convenience of

223
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 4: going to you know, I come from a small small

224
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 4: town and breathe and a small city and a small

225
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 4: town near near that city, and I I admired you know,

226
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 4: I watched tennis on TV, I saw shows, and but

227
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 4: then when I was actually in the States and I

228
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 4: was able to experience it, you know, without my parents,

229
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 4: it was like my own adventure, you know. And yeah,

230
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 4: it was really cool and I enjoyed. You know, we

231
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 4: don't have morning TV shows or or you know, yeah,

232
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 4: late night or whatever.

233
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 5: I think if I may be so, well, I think

234
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 5: you're an extrovert, and you felt like you feel energized

235
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 5: by that, by the expansiveness, by the big possibilities.

236
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: Is that I thought, Yeah, is that a good statement? Yeah, yeah, maybe.

237
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: But I also enjoyed.

238
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 4: What I loved seeing was how open people were able

239
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 4: to talk about whatever.

240
00:10:59,200 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah that's what I mean.

241
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, I like, I loved it. I loved seeing

242
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 4: in belgiumate stuff.

243
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: Very We're a very sarcastic, very sarcastic crowd.

244
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 7: Really oh yeah, yeah, like like our humor is sarcasm

245
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 7: and you always tell what somebody means, what they say

246
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 7: or says what they mean or is it.

247
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: Always sort of questionable. I mean, you know, I'm sure

248
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: you can tell. Yeah, there's people who you know.

249
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 4: I have friends who I know there who have a

250
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 4: very sarcastic sense of humor. But it's always yeah, I

251
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 4: don't know. It's a different type of different than the States.

252
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 4: I'm to me, not one is better than the others,

253
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 4: but I feel more a big I'll give you an

254
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 4: example for me, Like when I go running in the

255
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 4: States in the morning, when the sun comes up, it

256
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 4: can be six am or whatever, five thirty I go running.

257
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: Out of the let's say thirty.

258
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 4: People you cross, twenty five of them will say good morning,

259
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 4: which in the States is like a normal thing. That

260
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 4: really surprised me in the beginning because in Belgium it's

261
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 4: not like that. It's more to their own like like

262
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 4: like they don't like the yeah, like I don't know,

263
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 4: to go into somebody else's space or you know.

264
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: And it's not on purpose, it's not like they're trying

265
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: to be mean. No, it's just different. And well the

266
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: Australians are very much the same way now. Yeah, yeah,

267
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: so you find more coming around.

268
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 4: I like that, Yeah, I like because I like to

269
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 4: by just a simple little hello or whatever you know,

270
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 4: can can Yeah, it makes somebody can give you a

271
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 4: little spark, It gives you energy.

272
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it sounds like and maybe that's what is

273
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: that what.

274
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 5: It feels like when you're at the academy, like when

275
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 5: you're around all these other people they're playing you know

276
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 5: it is that a natural thing for you to do it.

277
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 4: I wanted to give back. I wanted to give back

278
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 4: from sports where you know that that has given me

279
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 4: so much.

280
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: Your family, somebody. This has been the diffin Also.

281
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 4: It can also be draining because it's it's also a

282
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 4: business in a way, and and people, which I'm not

283
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 4: good at, but people always it's you only hear a

284
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 4: lot of times, you only hear the complaints, you know,

285
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 4: when this person or this.

286
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: Like they want something, they want something. So it says

287
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: you have to find a good balance between and I have.

288
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 4: You know, my coach who was my longest coach, Carl,

289
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 4: he's the director of my academy. So he is kind

290
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 4: of the filter, you know, he gets everything and then

291
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 4: we talk and have meetings and he filters kind of

292
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 4: what I need to No, I'm not and but do.

293
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: You get energy from it? Like are you sort of

294
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: like is it something I do?

295
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 4: I do?

296
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: There's I mean there's.

297
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 4: Moments where where it drains energy as well, but but

298
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 4: overall it yeah, I get energy from.

299
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: It as he Kim, how did that come about? The

300
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: tell people that didn't say the speech?

301
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 3: And did you ever think about that before you actually

302
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 3: about my at all?

303
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 4: Because I'm just saying it's my superstition, is I don't

304
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 4: think anyway? I was named Ozzie Kim because my first

305
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 4: boyfriend was an Australian danniswear.

306
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 3: They'd lead to it, and hey, well hold on the

307
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 3: second time out, not only was it her first boyfriend,

308
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: but she was engaged to him. And second of all,

309
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: I still have somewhere in the archives of my world

310
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 3: an invitation to the wedding, I know, and it was

311
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 3: from Kim, not not.

312
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,479
Speaker 1: From Layton, which is even funnier. Yeah, it's somewhere.

313
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: Somewhere Belgian Adelaide, in Adelaide.

314
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: So anyway, that didn't happen. No, it didn't happen.

315
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 4: But even when I was with Leyton, I always felt,

316
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 4: you know, I traveled through a lot of the Davis

317
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 4: Cup tires and I would sit with the fanatics and.

318
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: I would know them, and I would I would I.

319
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 4: Love that people know that. Yeah, the openness you know that,

320
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 4: the yeah that that lifestyle, the culture.

321
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: Sure, you know.

322
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 4: So anyway, so years went on and we did. I

323
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 4: didn't get married to him, but then I would still

324
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 4: when I would go back to the Australian open people

325
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 4: would still call me Aussie Kim in the pat in

326
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 4: the way interviews and people on the street like good

327
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 4: day Ausie Kim, like they would they kind.

328
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 7: Of like.

329
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 4: Anyway, there's actually still people nowadays that asked Brian, oh, yeah,

330
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 4: where are you from in Australia.

331
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: I'm like no, that was so He's like, oh, here

332
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: we go.

333
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 5: So then, well, I asked her earlier, if Australia had

334
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 5: offered her citizenship, I would have given it to him,

335
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 5: That's what I said.

336
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 3: She tried to recruit of her fed Cup, but she

337
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 3: she wouldn't give her Belgium to anyway. So go on,

338
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 3: So you win, So you feel the pressure in Australia

339
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 3: a little bit? Did you feel a little bit of

340
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 3: the pressure to win there?

341
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: If I wanted to win another I felt pressure to

342
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: win another Grand Slam.

343
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 4: Besides my three my USO. First, when you win your

344
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 4: first one, you're so happy and you feel like relief.

345
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 4: But then you're like, I need to win another one

346
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 4: because I don't want to be the person that has

347
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 4: only one one friend.

348
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: No seriously, other people that never won one. But that's

349
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: how I keep like, I know, you don't want it

350
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: to seem like a flute.

351
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 4: The Australian Open was one where, of course, you know,

352
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 4: if you can win wimble then that's also great, you know,

353
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 4: But the Australian Open to me for my game, I

354
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 4: felt like I was more comfortable on another hardcore which

355
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 4: was you know, in Melbourne. And so yeah, I got

356
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 4: closer to the and you felt the moment people, I

357
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 4: felt the love.

358
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: I mean everyone wanted to like outside, even you know.

359
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: And and and then I won and I actually chipped

360
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: my tooth really badly. Just remember this the.

361
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 4: Night before, my day before when I played, I was

362
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 4: a little bit like autistic.

363
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 5: Like with my.

364
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah maybe I had you know you like, yeah, yeah,

365
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: I habits that only I did, you know.

366
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 4: And I always traveled with this. It's like a pen

367
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 4: from metal and don't laugh, I am, but it really

368
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 4: vibes or like produces the energy in the water, so

369
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 4: I always swirl like ten things, so I would do

370
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 4: it in bottled water like but then it fell in

371
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,119

00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 8: So so.

405
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 4: When I was standing there and I get the microphone

406
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 4: handed over to me, I thinking, oh my god, I

407
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 4: have to thank my the dentist, and actually I forgot

408
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 4: his last name, like so I said, that's the first

409
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 4: I wanted to get it over and done with, because

410
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 4: I mean it must have sounded like pretty ridiculous, you know.

411
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,239
Speaker 1: I did that. And yeah, and then at the end,

412
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, now I feel like, you know,

413
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: I told him, I said.

414
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 4: Now I really feel like you guys can call me

415
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 4: Oussie Kim because you know, I was holding the trophy.

416
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: Definitely a curse. It was a beautiful story. I was

417
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: a great speek.

418
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 5: We will find a speech and I will put it

419
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 5: in the audio if that's okay. Now you've shouted out

420
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 5: this dentist.

421
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 3: It was a great speech, thankfully, you know, and you

422
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 3: beat Lena, who of course ended up being sort of

423
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 3: like the next heir.

424
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: Apparent to the Australian public wanting to win.

425
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: Because I really feel like, you know, the Australian public

426
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 3: in particular, I think everywhere but Australia really gravitates to

427
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 3: people that.

428
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: Have that personality. It's fun and the easy going.

429
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 3: And Lena, obviously we all know, had those postmatch interviews

430
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 3: of giving Dennis her husband hell and so they sort

431
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 3: of once you had won, then it's like then she

432
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 3: ended up winning a couple of years later, and everyone

433
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 3: really pushed her to win.

434
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: But when Kim won, there was there was a lot

435
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: of very happy people.

436
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 9: And I was caught side for the match for Channel seven,

437
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 9: and Kim remember watching looking at you sometimes, like when

438
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 9: you were sitting.

439
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: Right in front of me.

440
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 10: Literally I was imagine her doing her thing. I've got

441
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 10: something to look at her like. She's like, yeah, yeah,

442
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 10: I mean I don't want to be biased.

443
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 3: Obviously, no, my friends with everyone, but Kim and I

444
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 3: go back a long way and so there were times

445
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 3: that she would I mean literally we are exactly across

446
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 3: from each other on the court, and there were times

447
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 3: that she would look at me and I'd sort of

448
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 3: just look at it like almost like her mum, like Gerrikay,

449
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 3: you're doing keep going, keep going, you know, and you

450
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 3: know any player. I've done it with a lot of players.

451
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 3: It's literally where my seat is is directly opposite. And

452
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 3: I remember that night, and I remember thinking when she

453
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 3: won and I got to interview her after the match, the.

454
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: First person to interview it, and yeah, they're great moments

455
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: that you share with.

456
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 3: Really, we're traveling circus and Kim is definitely one of

457
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 3: those people you loved.

458
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 5: To see when well, I was telling her, I feel

459
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 5: like that's why so many countries have adopted her, because

460
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 5: Americans consider her one of our own.

461
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: And different than America, than in Australia, than in Australia. Yeah, yeah,

462
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is.

463
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 3: I think we just took such a love to Kim

464
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 3: immediately and vice versa her.

465
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 4: That's the thing I talked about, that the sarcasm, that humor,

466
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 4: that yeah, Australians.

467
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: Have that too.

468
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, so it's like some Americans don't have

469
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 3: the same humor as Australians because you can literally say

470
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 3: I went to an event recently and I walked by

471
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 3: a girl and it was outside I've told you this story,

472
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 3: and it was sunny and it was beautiful, and I

473
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 3: was with my Aussie friend Joe, and I said, ah, really,

474
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 3: you know average day to day right, aha.

475
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: Meaning it's an amazing day, isn't it right? And she goes, well,

476
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 1: actually it's not bad. And I was like, oh my god.

477
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 3: She did not get like, there's not that's Kim would

478
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 3: get it if I said, really, crap, isn't it.

479
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 5: But you know it's a different Americans don't take the piss,

480
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 5: that's right, and you we can't handle the piss.

481
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 4: The alcohol is a different story. I don't think with

482
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 4: my husband and I like, I give it. I tease

483
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 4: him so much, like all the time, all the time,

484
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 4: and he's like, are you serious? Are you serious?

485
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, don't get all sensitive on me now, like

486
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: I'm only joking.

487
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 11: One of the kids, which kids have your personality and

488
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 11: his personality, Jada is my personality wants to tease and

489
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 11: and all the time, like drops from your trade.

490
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 4: Jack is sensitive sensitive, We'll have the big like elephant tears.

491
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 4: If I even make like make him like want to

492
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 4: tease him a little bit, it starts and the lip

493
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 4: goes down, and I'm like, that's okay, Like Mom is

494
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 4: only joking, you know, But I'm like, tough enough, come.

495
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: On, tough enough. What's for? Are they going to play

496
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: Jada basketball? For sure?

497
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 3: Did you tell me that we're supposed to play Ladies

498
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 3: Invitational here at Wimbledon and you've just told me you

499
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 3: have a thumb injury due to playing basketball.

500
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: I think it's getting better. We talked about it. Don't

501
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: expect me to take on any ground strokes over you.

502
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: What side would you like to play on? Forehand or

503
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: back end?

504
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 3: Well, clearly, Skim, I know your backhand is like as

505
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 3: good as any back end we've ever.

506
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: Seen in the history of the game. But I'm pretty

507
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: sure that your forehand is fifty billion times better than

508
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: my forehand.

509
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 3: So I think it's best I played the backhand side

510
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 3: because I know that I can still hit a late forehand,

511
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 3: but it hit an early forehand.

512
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: Might be a little difficult for me. So let's let

513
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: me play in the backhand. Really, okay, you know, what

514
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: whatever you.

515
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 4: Want to be, what you want to play on you

516
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 4: figure it out. The only thing I have just have

517
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 4: to see you with my thumb. If I can hit

518
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 4: a car beforehand.

519
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: Well I have to figure out if my neck. I mean,

520
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: we're just a disaster. Let me ask a question, because

521
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: I know Lena is actually playing Legends. I can't Yes,

522
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: does that seem because so recently retire I walked over

523
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: to this. Wait a second, you have to wait a second.

524
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: You just asked if Lena is it's okay for her

525
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: to play.

526
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 3: Martina Hingis was playing when she was like twenty seven

527
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 3: in the Ladies Invitational and then came back like two

528
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 3: years later in one Wimbledon doubles again, So there's no

529
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 3: criteria really here at all.

530
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: No, everybody's really good.

531
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 5: I watched the ship out of the Lady's Legends at

532
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 5: the front Shopen. I watched Nevradolova play with Marian Bertoley.

533
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 5: Marion Bertoley was hitting like one hundred and fifty mile

534
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 5: an hour or two hundred four hens at Rancha suncheest

535
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 5: Is in the face.

536
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: It was intense. So he played him the day before

537
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: and summer Bartley was a lot like yeah, some are

538
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: a little more intense than others. It was watching the

539
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's hard.

540
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 4: I find it hard in legends to find like you

541
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 4: have to find a balance between fun. Yeah, fun, because

542
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 4: there's there's a different generation too of players who don't.

543
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: Hit hard at all.

544
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 3: You know.

545
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 4: I still feel like if I, you know, kind of

546
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 4: put my body weight into the pool, I can create

547
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 4: some like face, you know, and I've yeah, you have

548
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 4: to find a ba there.

549
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 3: And Kim can hit one hundred mile an hour winner

550
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 3: at any time, anywhere, any place she wants.

551
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: But what's the point. You want to have a bit

552
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: of fun, although it does get a little bit too competitive.

553
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: I could also come in and hit a volley at

554
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: someone's face if I really want to. But yeah, but

555
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: I don't really know that's the thing.

556
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 4: But I also don't have I think that natural talent

557
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 4: of kind of you know, really goofer racket and make

558
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 4: it look like, oh, we're playing like the men.

559
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: Do you know they do these tricks? And which is

560
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: why she leaves that to me, because that's all I've

561
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: got now between its exactly.

562
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 4: So I do have to, like, if I look like

563
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,719
Speaker 4: I'm not putting the effort in or don't like, let

564
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 4: my arm go through a swing, it through the through

565
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 4: the ball.

566
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: Then I actually don't.

567
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 3: I don't know.

568
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: Did you guys request each other? How do you get

569
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: paired up? No, we don't request each other. I mean,

570
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: why would I used to request playing with me when

571
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: we're on tour. I wish we'd played together one time.

572
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 3: I've been so good because we would have been great

573
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 3: to Although, you know, I can honestly say that I

574
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 3: never lost a Kim.

575
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: That's true, but I never got annoying to play against.

576
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: Ever lost to Kim.

577
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: But I never played her in singles. She hated playing

578
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 3: mean doubles. But I loved playing Kim.

579
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: We had good fun together. Yeah.

580
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 4: Actually I didn't hate playing against you. It's like just

581
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 4: it's hard, you know, which is good?

582
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 1: Oh? Thanks?

583
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 3: I played Kim actually in my very first Wimbledon final

584
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 3: here that I won was against Kim.

585
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: But she was a baby. She was what were you

586
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen?

587
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Sugia and Kim and was me and Lisa

588
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 3: Raymond and yeah, so Kim was a baby then.

589
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I played against Kim Layton in mix mixed doubles.

590
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: Was that here French Open? That was our first mixed

591
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: doubles that.

592
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 3: We play and Todd I believe played you and Layton

593
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 3: or was it Daniel Nessa I don't remember him.

594
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 4: My first mixed doubles match, I had no idea what

595
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 4: to expect to lead and I were like, you know,

596
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 4: I really love and we wanted we wanted to play

597
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 4: mixed doubles together. And the first game he tries to love.

598
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 4: I think it was a Danish I don't remember who

599
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 4: it was or some Scandinavian.

600
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he loves but he loves too short.

601
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 4: And the guy hits smashes straight at me like it

602
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 4: hits my stomach, like straight, full out like and I'm

603
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 4: like oh, and.

604
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: She's like I'm sorry. I'm like, we're done.

605
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 4: So I guess the guys go because I was wondering,

606
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 4: like DoD the guys, you know, go full loud.

607
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: And so that was my answer right there. You got

608
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: pegged in the stomach immediately with a by your boyfriend. Yeah,

609
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: and that was the relationship. No, No, No, that was

610
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: just the start. Was it weird playing with somebody that

611
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: you were in It was so much fun. It's weird

612
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 1: that you guys could play together too.

613
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 7: No, not me.

614
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: I didn't play with Kim. We went in love. I

615
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: love her, but we're not.

616
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love you, but you both have played with

617
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 5: your significant others on the professional tennis court.

618
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: I thought it was fun. Did you have I always laughed.

619
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 3: Do you enjoy like looking down the other end thinking

620
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 3: that Lisa and I would be fighting or something?

621
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: I mean there were times where I was like, oh,

622
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: poor Lisa. Rude, that's our promo right there.

623
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 3: If there was one match, Kim cloisters that you could

624
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 3: take back way.

625
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 4: Again, which was Vonaeva twenty eleven quarterfinal, I think here

626
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 4: at one more than yeah, I was up a set

627
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 4: and just kind of lost my and I felt, I think,

628
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 4: I'm not really I'm not good at remembering draws and

629
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 4: stuff like that, but.

630
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: I think pir on Kova would be the next. I

631
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: think she beat Venus or something on the quarters, and

632
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: that was.

633
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 4: Obviously the match before our match, and so it was

634
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 4: kind of like, I think Pironkova in the semi final.

635
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: Then, you know, it was like a good a good draw, I.

636
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 4: Guess, you know, and and I just yeah, kind of

637
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 4: stopped playing, you know. So that's a match that I

638
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 4: wished a few times already.

639
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: That I could do play that.

640
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 5: Over again, because theoretically you would have been in the finals,

641
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 5: which you've never played.

642
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 4: Maybe you still have to play for that. There was

643
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 4: a big chance at Wimbledon. I've lost my semi finals,

644
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 4: I think, to Venus and to Lindsay my two semi finals.

645
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: So they were too good. Yeah, too good. They played

646
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: too good. I mean, I mean Venus and Lindsay are

647
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: two are the greatest great players on gross. So that's

648
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: the one. Yeah, that's the one where I feel like

649
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: and the other ones. I mean I've lost grandson finals,

650
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, the one against Jennifer Capriati and at the

651
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: French and Choba. But I was too young to win.

652
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: I know, like, without a doubt, I was too young

653
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: to win and to kind of be ready for that.

654
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 5: When you say you were too young to win, what

655
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 5: does that mean? Like, where is your mind when you're

656
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 5: ten years old than Yeah?

657
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: Why is that different for you and not for Hindus

658
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: or Serena or Stephie.

659
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 4: Because of the impact of how your life changed. It

660
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 4: already changed big time, but I wasn't ready to take

661
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 4: on that pressure yet.

662
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: Is that what changed when you had a kid? Because

663
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:18,719
Speaker 1: your perspective changed.

664
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 4: I was able to just focus on tennis when when,

665
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 4: and not all the other stuff. The other stuff wasn't

666
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 4: important anymore.

667
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 7: You know.

668
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 4: When I was younger, I who I felt overwhelmed when

669
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 4: the attention. Still I still do, but I was overwhelmed

670
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 4: by the the money, expect the expectations. Yeah, yeah, that's

671
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 4: not why I didn't sign up for that when I

672
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 4: you signed up to have fun in place. I want

673
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 4: to play tennis and to go all out and to work,

674
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 4: you know that, Like my passion is still. I still

675
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,479
Speaker 4: feel as much passion for tennis as I did when

676
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 4: I was younger. If I can go, if we go play,

677
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 4: it's my playground, like it's my tennis was my psychologist,

678
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 4: it was my fun.

679
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: It was my like still passion, you know.

680
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 3: And yeah it's but so it changed when you felt

681
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 3: like Grand Slam is going to change my it's going

682
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 3: to change my joy to being a job work expectation.

683
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 4: Is that because all the other stuff that gets added

684
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 4: onto your schedule that has nothing to do with tennis anymore.

685
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: I wasn't ready for It's not like I was not

686
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: for the tennis part of it, but it was all

687
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: the other.

688
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 4: Stuff, the responsibilities, the attention, appearance, appearances, like all that.

689
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 3: Stuff, Like I, so, do you understand when somebody wins

690
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 3: one Grand Slam and then struggles for a year or

691
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 3: two like you've seen you understand why, of course, and

692
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 3: how difficult it is, because it's a process. I honestly,

693
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 3: as as painful as it was to lose my Grand.

694
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 4: Slam finals, the one against Jennifer wasn't as painful because

695
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 4: it was still a great result.

696
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: When I was a young girl, I played some of

697
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: my best tennis and it was huge and Jennifer was

698
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: a superstar.

699
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 4: But then my next match is when I lost to

700
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 4: Justine and whatever I think, the three next finals devastating, devastating,

701
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 4: They hurt, But what hurt the most was that I

702
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 4: was overwhelmed already.

703
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: Before the match.

704
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 4: I didn't know how to handle the situation playing another Belgian,

705
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 4: playing in a.

706
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: Grand Slam final.

707
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 4: It's all those little things together because I played Justine

708
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 4: many times before, you know, and beaten her. And there

709
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 4: are semi finals of the French Open, which was also

710
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 4: a big occasion. But I was still capable of playing

711
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 4: some of my best tennis, just not in the match.

712
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 4: Like the thought of winning a Grand Slam to.

713
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: Me was too overwhelming because it was like as a

714
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: little girl, I.

715
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 3: Don't you don't realize winning a Slam is one thing,

716
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 3: but everything that comes along with it you're not taught

717
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 3: how to deal with.

718
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: Do you talk to a players that you know on

719
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: the tour of the last couple of years that have

720
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,239
Speaker 1: had that expectator? Have you ever asked you how did

721
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: you handle this?

722
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 7: Kim?

723
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: I've had a few players actually, yeah, you know, like, no,

724
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: that's fine.

725
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 4: I mean Simona Hallep, you know, situation, Caroline, was Niyaki,

726
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 4: you know how how.

727
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: To handle after before those conversations.

728
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 3: So you've had You've had conversations with was Niyaki Halub

729
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 3: about how to win a slam and then how to

730
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 3: deal with it after it.

731
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: More more afterwards.

732
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 4: I think you know when when Simona lost the French

733
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 4: Open last year, you know, so when you get so

734
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 4: close and you see the reason why they lost, although

735
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 4: she was the much better player, you know, she just

736
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 4: kind of froze and her arm got tight, and I

737
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 4: could relate to.

738
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: That so clearly.

739
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 4: But then yeah, you just you have to try and

740
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 4: just stick to what you're doing because everything that you're

741
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 4: doing is working well.

742
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: You know, you're getting to the finals, You're you're she

743
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: was number one in the world. She she's fit, she

744
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: she can do anything she wants.

745
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 4: But you just have to try and get yourself in

746
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 4: that position again, because you can't practice that moment.

747
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: You know, you can't practice for that.

748
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 4: So you have to try and get yourself into a

749
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 4: position again where you're capable of doing a couple of things.

750
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: Having a chance.

751
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 3: I remember because I talked to you about this with

752
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 3: Carolina Plishkower and Singapore. Yeah, and I said, I grabbed Kim,

753
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 3: I literally grabbed Kim, and I said, Kim, tell Carolina something,

754
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 3: you know, And she said, that is the exact words.

755
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 3: She said, you know what, Sometimes you just have to

756
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 3: keep putting yourself in that situation.

757
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: And Halla is a perfect example, as it was Niaki,

758
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: as was you. It's rare. You know what happened to

759
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: Ostapenko last year at the French Open.

760
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 4: That's that's not normal, No, not normal, but it's rare

761
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 4: that you win your first Grand Slam. And I had

762
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 4: people tell me like, oh, I do give a Lando five?

763
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Andy Murray same thing. Yeah, So it.

764
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 4: Happens, and I really believe that if I just within myself,

765
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 4: if I look at the process that I made as

766
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 4: a tennis player but also as a human being, this

767
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 4: it had to happen like this, and I wouldn't change

768
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 4: it for anything like it had to happen.

769
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: I had to lose those matches for.

770
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 4: Me to win in a five and or not like

771
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 4: like it's because they all helped. You had points, Yes,

772
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 4: if they all help.

773
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 2: When you say that you had conversations with you know,

774
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 2: obviously that's because Renee thrust her out you and said,

775
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 2: Kim really smart was the end.

776
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 4: But we would talk about it sometimes we could see

777
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 4: that her you know, body language got down or nervous.

778
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: Thing is why wouldn't you Todd? Of course, And this

779
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,239

780
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: podcast with Todd.

781
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 3: You will see hopefully more women start to bring the

782
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 3: Kim pisons that justin Anna and who you know Switzerlina

Speaker 1: In their career.

800
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 4: And and but you have to be able to travel

801
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 4: a certain amount of weeks. And and especially with me,

802
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 4: you know, with the last two you know kids, I

803
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 4: couldn't do that yet. And although there's a part of

804
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 4: me that really wanted to do it and take on

805
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 4: that challenge because I love the challenge of being able

806
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 4: to help.

807
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: Somebody to try and achieve a goal. And are they

808
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: absorbing it?

809
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 8: Do they do? They?

810
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 5: They do?

811
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they do this is a human being. Yeah,

812
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: because I don't I really talk out of my experience

813
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: because I really felt to me it was very clear

814
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: how it, you know, how it happened. And so if

815
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: I just explain how it went for me, then it's

816
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 1: up to them what they do with it.

817
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 4: But I think some there's some parts that will stick,

818
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 4: you know, into their into their head that when they

819
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 4: get through a certain situation, there's they And Simona told

820
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 4: me after the like after the match at the friend,

821
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 4: she was like like she thought about you. I didn't

822
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 4: want this. I didn't want to go forth, you know

823
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 4: for matches like like you yea, so things like yeah,

824
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 4: but that's really nice. Yeah, but that's it's great, you know.

825
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 4: And and because in our sport too, like it's it's

826
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 4: so individual, yeah, you know, and and players don't really

827
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 4: want to give anything away and they're not jealous. Yeah,

828
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,959
Speaker 4: why they're still playing and and jealous. And I felt

829
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 4: like I am always I mean with you, like we

830
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 4: were playing, but you would help and give advice and

831
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 4: you know, like all the time there's stuff like that,

832
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 4: and that's what I like. Like there's players who were

833
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 4: lily open to do that, and then you have the

834
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 4: other ones who don't trust anybody, who don't want to

835
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 4: take or think you're lying, you know, like there's always

836
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 4: the different personalities.

837
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: But I corner her and tell her listen, just kidding, no,

838
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: But I mean I've been coached by herself. She's like

839
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: your back. But I think passion. I think it's about passion.

840
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:21,760
Speaker 5: And I think what I was trying to say earlier

841
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 5: by complimenting you is about athletic player or joy as

842
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 5: player is you're playing for the.

843
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: Sport of it.

844
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 5: And if you're playing for the real sport of it

845
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 5: because you want the best possible tennis to be happening,

846
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 5: then you can be generous.

847
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 4: I can honestly say it can be whenever I played

848
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 4: for money. Yeah, I believe I've never played for money.

849
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 4: You can tell if I if I even felt like

850
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 4: the pressure of oh if I win this match, I

851
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 4: can become hold on, hold on.

852
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: Hold on, because I remember having a conversation with you

853
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: at the Stranda.

854
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 3: I've been a couple of years ago when you played

855
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 3: your last one I think it was, and you said, oh,

856
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 3: stuvesy mate, I'm gonna make the semi.

857
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make the quarters just to break even with

858
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: the g that I got because I was playing with

859
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: a lot of traveling with a lot of people.

860
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 4: But it's never my fire, you know, like but but

861
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 4: a lot of players don't have the choice to play

862
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 4: for money because it's it's their income.

863
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 3: Like they have to.

864
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 4: Juggle and make the pieces of the puzzle fall into

865
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 4: place like that. If it to me, if it had

866
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 4: to get to that, I don't know if I could

867
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 4: do it to me. I still feel like when I

868
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 4: go practice now, it feels the same as when I

869
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 4: was eight years old, practicing and going all out and

870
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 4: running for a ball that's two meters out and trying

871
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 4: to get to it.

872
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: Like I still do that.

873
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 4: My body can't handle it now I'll have injuries, but

874
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 4: it's that's how my mind is. If I now I

875
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 4: don't warm up, I will still hit my first smatch

876
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 4: as hard as I can.

877
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Stephie's the same. Steffie was your idol.

878
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 7: She was.

879
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I used to Yeah, not anymore. She's taking that rafter.

880
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: Why didn't you become a seven volume then the stay.

881
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 4: I tried to serve like him a lot of times

882
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 4: in my you know, when I practiced and we were

883
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 4: playing around.

884
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: And we are at Wimbledon.

885
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 3: One of the most watched videos of all time at

886
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 3: Wimbledon has been the fact that Kim Cleister's brought someone

887
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 3: down from the public that Chris Quinn was his name,

888
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 3: was a bit large at the time.

889
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: He's now lost weight, he's working out. His looks awesome.

890
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 3: But Kim brought him down under the court and put

891
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 3: a white skirt on him and my white top on

892
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 3: him and served to him. And if you haven't seen

893
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 3: it on YouTube, just YouTube Kim Cleister's man in skirt?

894
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:36,720
Speaker 1: Did he return yourself?

895
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 3: And the joke was that the crowd kept telling Kim

896
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 3: where to serve and hit a n ace and she's

897
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 3: so bloody good still.

898
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: She literally hit two races and.

899
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 4: Then they asked me they would tell me first I

900
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 4: started to hit a niece and I was like, okay,

901
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 4: I'm going to do it.

902
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: And I hit a niece. I can do. That's worke

903
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: up over.

904
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 4: So then I look at the and again and I'm like,

905
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 4: where shall I serve? And he was like what I said,

906
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 4: where shall I serve?

907
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, this one guy yells out,

908
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: just serve to her body, and I'm like, she to

909
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: Martinez looks like what does that mean? Like, what do

910
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: you mean when you serve an ice to the body?

911
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: It's gonna hit me.

912
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 7: Yeah.

913
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 4: So I was like like, excuse me, like do your body,

914
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 4: let me serve to your body like this because it

915
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 4: was a bigger target. And I was like, come on,

916
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 4: you know, and I was like and I just went

917
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 4: along and I don't know, and then I realized I'm

918
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 4: standing there and I see that he's in like a

919
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 4: blue shorts, like against every Wimbledon rule, you know, And

920
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, and.

921
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 9: I usually have like a spare skirt or whatever. She's

922
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 9: the only legend that actually brings extra clothes. But anyway,

923
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 9: I was, you know, I can't say I'm the only mother.

924
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,919
Speaker 9: Maybe there's some problems happening on the court or something.

925
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: Anyway, so she runs to a bag. I run to

926
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: my bag and I have the skirt and I go

927
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: over to him and try to put it on him.

928
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't get it over, isn't he you said?

929
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 3: It was like putting it on, you know, my five

930
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 3: year old. I just wrinkled it up, put it over

931
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 3: his ankles and thought that's going to be it. But

932
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 3: God love him, he called it.

933
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: All the way up.

934
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 4: Yeah.

935
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: I couldn't get it over and unless I was like

936
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: ripping it, but he did ripped it.

937
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 3: Put my shirt on, which was even smaller, and then

938
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 3: he did look like stuff sausage and he got the

939
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 3: serve back in the court and it was hilarious and

940
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 3: Kim was in tears, and it was on Jimmy Kimmel,

941
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 3: It was on Sports Center and the ESPN and the Safe.

942
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: It went everywhere in viral. So if you haven't seen it,

943
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: everybody out there, you've got to look at it.

944
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 3: And the greatest line from the commentator who was doing

945
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 3: the match says, yes, that's a man in a skirt

946
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 3: trying to return Kim Closer's serve at.

947
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: Drunkest you ever got after winning? You know the answer?

948
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 4: Come on, come on?

949
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was after my last US so, no, my

950
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: two thousand and ten win. Are you working for the

951
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: Tennis channel? Ye?

952
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 4: What was it?

953
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: I was, I was working for Tennis channel. Tennis channel,

954
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,720
Speaker 1: you were working and it was my last match match,

955
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: last Grand Slam. No, but I won? No, well you came,

956
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: but I.

957
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 9: Retired you'd retired. That was actually in the second round

958
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 9: mixed doubles. Yeah, I believe, No, it was after I won.

959
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 9: What we're trying to say, Kim got drunk a lot.

960
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: It's not true at all.

961
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,399
Speaker 4: That's why after I was drunk, because it was after

962
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 4: two or three glasses of champagne and your TV compound

963
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 4: booth wherever we were, so their feet and they're like cheers, and.

964
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm like yes, and it was I was happy.

965
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 9: I think it was after my win twenty ten. I

966
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 9: think it was that time in particular. Let me tell

967
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 9: me the story here, because you was obviously too drunk.

968
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 9: That wasn't the drunkest after a win. That was after

969
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 9: you retired.

970
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: It was Tracy Austin and me and I think I

971
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: might have been bred hyper from Tennessee.

972
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 3: It was, and we kept supplying you was champagne and

973
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 3: you kept drinking it, but you had n eaton and

974
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 3: so you got very drunk.

975
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: But after you want to slam, do you remember any

976
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 1: of those?

977
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 3: No?

978
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 2: I never.

979
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: That's a weird thing about a Grand Slam. You're tired.

980
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: You're tired. As a kid, I.

981
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 4: Pictured, or try to put myself visualized, how awesome it

982
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 4: felt to win a Grand Slam, and.

983
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: It's it's the happiest moment for me.

984
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 4: When you win is actually when you're able to go

985
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 4: see your coach, your team, your family, your people who

986
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 4: are there with you, because those are the people who

987
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 4: helped you get to that point. Like you trained the hardest,

988
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 4: you have, you know, whatever or tough situations, you went

989
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 4: through it, and and you're happy when you win. But

990
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 4: that's like that last a minute, two minutes, maybe you

991
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 4: know you're still proud, but then that that first feeling

992
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 4: is kind of gone. But then when you're able to

993
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 4: go to your your box and see your family and everybody,

994
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 4: that's that's when it becomes the most emotional. And then

995
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 4: once that's over with, you start doing media and then

996
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 4: you know, you go to your hotel room and you

997
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 4: sit there and my first year is open. I remember

998
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 4: I would buy myself in my hotel room. Brian was

999
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 4: in Belgium and my dad was in Belgium, and I

1000
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 4: sat in my hotel room and we were leaving the

1001
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,919
Speaker 4: next day. We were flying back to Belgium. So I'm

1002
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 4: sitting on the floor. I had all a mess.

1003
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: My room is a mess.

1004
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 4: I'm not very organized, so i have like all my

1005
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 4: clothes there and my dirty laundry bag, and I'm like

1006
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 4: trying to like figure out how am I going to.

1007
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 13: Pack, you know, And I'm literally sitting in between all

1008
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 13: these piles of clothes and I'm yes, and literally that

1009
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 13: I said, look at me, that's what I'm thinking.

1010
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: I leave bag and I'm like, look at me, this

1011
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,160
