WEBVTT - The Sit-Down with Mirra Andreeva

0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Hi everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Sitdown.

0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm Matt Trolo, a writer for oz open dot com, and.

0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:10.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm Viv Christie, managing editor of Australian tennis magazine.

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:11.239
<v Speaker 1>Good to see.

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:11.600
<v Speaker 3>Viv.

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:13.239
<v Speaker 1>Can you tell us why we're sitting down with Mira

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Andreva this week?

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:16.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, I was lucky enough to sit down with Mira

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.759
<v Speaker 2>at Wimbledon when I was there a few weeks ago.

0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:23.159
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, Mira is a great personality, as we know

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:26.440
<v Speaker 2>on the women's tour. You know, she brings a lot

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:30.639
<v Speaker 2>of fighting spirit, big stage personality to all of her matches.

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:32.519
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, she's just really one for us to keep

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 2>an eye on.

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Good timing this week because she's just won an Olympic

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:39.280
<v Speaker 1>silver medal with Diana Schnader in the women's doubles in Paris,

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>and also that was hot off the heels of her

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 1>first wto title.

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Mira, thank you for your time today. It's great to

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 2>have you as a guest on the sit Down. I

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 2>wonder if you could start by sharing with our listeners

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 2>how you had your start in tennis.

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 4>Thank you for having me.

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 3>I started playing tennis when I was six years old,

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:05.959
<v Speaker 3>but I spent like three years before in the tennis

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 3>court because my older sister she started playing as well.

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.959
<v Speaker 3>She was she started when she was around five, and

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 3>so yeah, since I'm three years old, I've been spending

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 3>some time on a tennis court. But I wish I

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.400
<v Speaker 3>would have started earlier. But I remember that I couldn't

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 3>hold a racket in my hand. It was too heavy

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 3>and it would just keep falling down. So yeah, I

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 3>started when I was six. I started in Siberia, in Krasnoyarsk,

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 3>is the city where we come from, and yeah, that's

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 3>basically it. After we moved to south of Russia the

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 3>city named Sochi, and since then we lived there for

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 3>five six years and after now we live in Khan

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 3>for I don't know, almost three years now.

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Already you started with when you was six, as you say,

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 2>and now you're seventeen, so that's barely ten years. And

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 2>in that time you've had wins over top ten opponents,

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:09.960
<v Speaker 2>including your idol on Jibba, and reach the semifinals at Rollandaros.

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Does it ever feel like a bit of a dream?

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 3>At first, it did, and it still feels like a dream,

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 3>of course, because I've been watching these tournaments when I

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:25.240
<v Speaker 3>was a kid on a TV having my breakfast before

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 3>I would go to school. So of course it feels

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 3>like a dream to me to be here and play

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 3>all these tournaments. But now I already get used to

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 3>this a little bit. I start to feel the atmosphere more,

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 3>and I start to kind of feel like I start

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 3>to belong here. It's not like I'm new anymore and

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 3>like new surprise or something. And yeah, that felt like

0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 3>a dream. But now I get used to this a

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.919
<v Speaker 3>little bit more, and it just feels like my life.

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Now you're joining us at when Wooden, where you reached

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.920
<v Speaker 2>the fourth round last year as a qualifier. How have

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 2>you changed as both a player and as a person

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 2>since then.

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Let's say as a player, I changed. I think I

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 3>became more aggressive and I know what I want on court.

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 3>It's not like I just go there and play and

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 3>try to enjoy and just win as many games as

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 3>I can. Just now I go and I know what

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 3>I want and I know what I also need if

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 3>I can say need. So yeah, I think that as

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 3>a player I became more kind of a straightforward and

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 3>I feel like this not helps me, but this is

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 3>a bit of next level for me, a bit of

0:03:55.680 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 3>an upgrade, yea. And as a person, yeah, a bit

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 3>more mature, as I said once and just and that's it. Actually,

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm still the same as I was last year, just

0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:17.240
<v Speaker 3>maybe a bit more, yeah, mature, and I don't say

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 3>some crazy stuff anymore, but still the same old mirror in.

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Your upgrade as a player as you call it. You

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 2>reached the semi finals of Roland Garross. You had wins

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 2>there over Victoria Azarenka and Arena Sablenka. How do you

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 2>look back on that experience.

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:38.280
<v Speaker 3>Of course, looking back to that, it feels amazing, especially

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 3>if we start with the second round match against Azarenka.

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 4>A little thriller there.

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 3>I knew, I mean, Grand Slam champion, she has won

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 3>a lot of tournaments, she has a lot of experience,

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.679
<v Speaker 3>and I just went on court and I was like, well, Mirror,

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.839
<v Speaker 3>you gotta do your best to to beat her. And

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.279
<v Speaker 3>I felt like I did more than my best and

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 3>it was an amazing match. We finished at one am.

0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 3>It was the latest finish of my career, and looking

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 3>back to that, I'm really really really happy about that,

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 3>and that much I think I'm gonna remember it for

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:24.159
<v Speaker 3>a very very long time, and of course much against

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:25.719
<v Speaker 3>Saballenka was also.

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:28.720
<v Speaker 4>Kind of a thriller for me.

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.680
<v Speaker 3>But unfortunately I didn't really have time to enjoy the

0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:35.040
<v Speaker 3>moment when I was in Paris because we finished pretty late,

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.119
<v Speaker 3>and then next day I had a semi final to play,

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 3>so I didn't really have time to enjoy the moment there.

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 3>But after I took some time to just realize and

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:51.040
<v Speaker 3>understand what happened. But yet now it doesn't seem to

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 3>me like a surprise. I mean, of course it was

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.239
<v Speaker 3>a tough match. She had some I don't know, trouble

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.600
<v Speaker 3>with something, probably her stomach, and it was hard for

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 3>me to play because she called the physio a few

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 3>times and it's always hard to keep your focus on

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:12.279
<v Speaker 3>a game. So yeah, I'm just happy about that win,

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 3>and uh yeah, happy about everything that I did during

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 3>French Open.

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.040
<v Speaker 2>And you're a very artistic and creative player. You're known

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.120
<v Speaker 2>for being very intelligent on court. That draws a lot

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.160
<v Speaker 2>of comparisons with Martina Hingis. How do you feel when

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 2>you're compared to Martina Hingers?

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, I like that it's not a bad comparison, not

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 3>a bad compaiment comparison.

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 4>In comparison. Yes, okay, so yeah, I like that.

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.720
<v Speaker 3>I like that people see a bit of a same

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 3>kind of game between us, because I when I was younger,

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.640
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to play like her because I felt like

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 3>we have a pretty much same a game style. But

0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.719
<v Speaker 3>she was kind of more aggressive and me me, I

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:04.359
<v Speaker 3>would like play the point and build the point until

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.480
<v Speaker 3>the last moment on the baseline until the girl is

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:12.800
<v Speaker 3>dead there running and me I would just finish the point.

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:16.440
<v Speaker 3>And her, I feel like she she goes for it

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 3>and she tries to finish the ball at the net,

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:23.240
<v Speaker 3>and she's more aggressive. But yeah, it's it's really nice

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 3>that people compare us and they say some stuff they

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 3>see the same game style, and yeah that I like that.

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 3>It's not bad, you know, if people compare it to

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 3>a Grand Slam champion.

0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.360
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, it's it's nice to hear.

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 2>It's thirty years since your coach Conchitta man one Wood,

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 2>and what has she told you about that time? Yeah?

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, uh, first, of course, she's she's having a bit

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 3>of a flashbacks this trip, and yeah, we've talked a

0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 3>little bit about that, and I watched the final with her,

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 3>she said, so I put on the video from YouTube

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 3>her final against Nevartilova, and she's like, no, no, don't

0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 3>watch this, this moment start from this score in the

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 3>second set. I was like, uh, huh, okay, And of

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 3>course I put the moment that she didn't want on purpose.

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, she of course tells me about the way

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 3>she played, but I feel like she doesn't really like

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 3>to talk about it because maybe she doesn't want to

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.440
<v Speaker 3>feel old confer to me. I don't know, but yeah,

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.320
<v Speaker 3>sometimes I just ask her how did it feel like?

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.120
<v Speaker 4>And what did you do there? And what did you

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:38.560
<v Speaker 4>do then?

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, she shares some experience and emotions with me,

0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.880
<v Speaker 3>and it's really really nice to hear what she was

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 3>going through that time. And yeah, she's gonna play Legends

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 3>Mixed doubles, and she said, don't you ever come to

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 3>my match. I was like, why, but I want to

0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 3>support you. She's like, no, I don't want to see

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 3>you there. And so it'll be on a second week.

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 3>I hope I'm still gonna be here, and I have

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 3>a plan. I'm gonna prepare a piece of paper, a

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.959
<v Speaker 3>huge piece of paper. I will write con Chita Martinez,

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 3>let's go, and I will go to her match and

0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 3>I will waive this piece of paper that's like that

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 3>she can see me and I will be her number

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 3>one fan. So yeah, that will be nice if we're

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 3>still gonna be here.

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 2>That speaks a lot about the strength of your relationship. Yeah,

0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 2>you've reached the second week of the Istra and open

0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 2>when and Roland garross every Grand Slam surface, which one

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 2>do you must love to play on?

0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's actually a really hard question. Before I would

0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 3>say clay right away, but now I when I play

0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 3>on hardcourt, I miss clay court so much. But when

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:57.679
<v Speaker 3>I play on clay court, I want to go back

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:03.199
<v Speaker 3>on hardcourt because yeah, just like the sound when somebody

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.719
<v Speaker 3>plays on hard court. But when I play on on

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 3>heart or on clay, I want to go on grass

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:13.959
<v Speaker 3>because I really like the sound when the people play

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 3>and when they move on court. It's so soft and

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:22.280
<v Speaker 3>it actually depends But yeah, I don't even have a

0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 3>favorite service actually, because it also depends on on a

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 3>time and on how I feel. So yeah, it's a

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 3>really complicated question for me, but I would say that

0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:33.959
<v Speaker 3>I love them all.

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Are you still studying and do you still hide chemistry?

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:42.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yes, I still study, but now luckily we have

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 3>summer holidays at school. Yeah, and I still don't really

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 3>like chemistry because well that's really hard for me to

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 3>understand and I don't really have time to really go

0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:58.719
<v Speaker 3>into it. But yeah, probably when after I don't know,

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:02.199
<v Speaker 3>maybe when I finished career, I will be like forty

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:06.160
<v Speaker 3>forty three. Maybe then I will have a wish and

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.840
<v Speaker 3>desire to go and study chemistry, but I don't think so.

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I'm still studying and luckily I don't have

0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:15.560
<v Speaker 3>to do anything now anymore.

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 2>When we talked earlier in the year at Brisbane and

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 2>you were reading Gone with the Wind at the time, I'm.

0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.680
<v Speaker 3>Reading second part, Yes, don't tell me what's going to happen.

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I enjoy reading sometimes. It really helps me

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 3>to put some nervous moments aside and to focus. And

0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:39.160
<v Speaker 3>I when I read, I have I think I have

0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 3>a pretty good imagination, So when I read, I have

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 3>like pictures and everything in my head, and I imagine

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 3>that I'm there and I'm reading and just looking at

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 3>them kind of like I'm with them. So yes, I

0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:58.160
<v Speaker 3>sometimes I really like to read. And this is a

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 3>very very good book and I really like it, So yes,

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 3>hopefully I can finish it soon.

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.080
<v Speaker 2>You've achieved such a lot in such a short amount

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.600
<v Speaker 2>of time. What's what's your tennis dream?

0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 3>Well, of course, I think if you ask every tennis player,

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.960
<v Speaker 3>they will say that their tennis dream probably to be

0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 3>number one and to win ALAM or to win Olympics.

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:27.199
<v Speaker 3>But me, I would say that after I finished my career,

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:31.160
<v Speaker 3>I just want to be remembered for a very very

0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 3>long time, and I want to be remembered as a

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 3>champion and as a player who never never give up,

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.679
<v Speaker 3>as a player who people look up to. And I

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.560
<v Speaker 3>would say that this is one of my dreams that

0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:52.959
<v Speaker 3>I really want to accomplish and I really want them

0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 3>to happen.

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.720
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, that would be awesome.

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, it was such a pleasure to catch up with

0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Mira at Wimwood, and she is such a wise head

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 2>on young shoulders. It's hard to believe that she only

0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 2>turns seventeen in April, and you know, we see that

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 2>in her tennis and in her results. But at the

0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.600
<v Speaker 2>same time, it's really refreshing that she's such a you know,

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:22.240
<v Speaker 2>still a teenager who you know, studies, enjoys life, reads

0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 2>in her spare time.

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree, it was really cool to hear how

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.360
<v Speaker 1>excited she was or grateful to have the time with you,

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 1>how she thanked you at the beginning of the interview,

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.319
<v Speaker 1>and then she just does have like a unique perspective.

0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 1>It's that kind of curious, wide eyed, but also, as

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 1>you said, mature for someone who's seventeen. It's just her

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.640
<v Speaker 1>answers are quite unique in tennis media. When I listen

0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 1>to her speak, there's something really refreshing about them, So

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:45.800
<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed that a lot.

0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was a lot of fun to do that,

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.040
<v Speaker 2>and she also has a real gratitude as well, so

0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:51.520
<v Speaker 2>it's really lovely to see.

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:53.439
<v Speaker 1>And on that note, you can join us again next
