And I would say, I'm 33 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: surprised at the timing, but not shocked. I've always felt 34 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: that maybe we had two more years maybe three with 35 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: her in the picture, she's like made she had. 36 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: Two more years, Like what does that mean? 37 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, Look, I just felt that she I thought she'd 38 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: tried to win another couple of slams, get that under 39 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: a belt and then you know, sail off into the sunset. 40 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: But she's doing that early.

She's just moved into that 42 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: up on Brookwater golf Course, and she's going to get 43 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: married later in the year. And she talked in that 44 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 1: trip about dreams. I think she wants to have a 45 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: family at some point. And I don't know. Look, I 46 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: didn't achieve the greatness that she has, but I think 47 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: when you look at it and you go, I've reached 48 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: the pinnacle and I know how hard I work to 49 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: get there, How am I going to go do it again? 50 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: And that seems to be what happened after a Wimbledon 51 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: and MB certainly the Australian. 52 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 5: Open, and hard to be with your family obviously when 53 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 5: you're traveling all around the world to you know, continue 54 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 5: playing at the elite level, Toddy, is there any growth 55 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 5: to a rumor that there's a potential move to the 56 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 5: afl W coming. 57 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: There was a lot of that happened quickly, didn't it, Richmond? 58 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: So half a dozen teams putting the colors on her already. 59 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: I don't think that, but I know she'll throw get 60 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: a handicap down and goal.
