Yeah, that was a tough battle today.
Super happy with the performance.
Happy with the level I played on those key moments in each set.
And of course happy to be through with difficulties.
I'm not really thinking about the record that I have.
I just try to play point by point.
And trying to stick to the game plan.
And stay aggressive.
And basically take it one step at a time.
Not really.
I feel like the moment I will feel relaxed I will definitely start losing.
So I feel like that's why I've been really successful in those type of breaks.
Because I take it really serious.
And I'm not focusing on the past.
I'm just trying to take it once again one point at a time.
And I'm aggressive.
I'm not thinking about that this is a type break.
I'm just focusing on my game.
And I think that's been really the key.
Yeah, definitely a big improvement.
I think she was serving much better than she did in that match in Australia.
Definitely built more confident.
And was playing more brave.
And I think that's why the scoreboard was a bit closer than in Australia.
Definitely I see the big progress.
I don't have super power.
Maybe that's my super power.
I don't know.
I think my super power is balancing this on and off the court life.
I think that's what's really important.
And I think that's where I'm good at.
Well, I guess I have not my chances.
Maybe because of the conditions.
The younger, the physically stronger.
So they can handle the heat better than us old people.
I'll take it as motivation to break this number.
Is there anyone who is left?
I know they're still about to play.
But if Rybakina wins and Svantek wins and I'm in the semis.
Okay, there's Gibson and Noskova.
They're under, right?
Okay.
Well, I guess it's all in my hands.
Of course.
Wait.
Forget it.
That's so bad.
That's so bad of me.
Forget it.
No, I'm just worried for people to stay hydrated and to stay healthy.
And, of course, we would stop the match if someone feels bad.
And we would definitely help them out.
But I just don't want that to happen to anyone.
And I just want everyone to be healthy and happy.
You know, it's a happy place.
We don't need that – how do you call it?
We just don't need that to happen.
No, I think all of those young kids who are on tour right now,
they all have a huge potential to be Grand Slam champions.
I just see how aggressive she is, how passionate she is, how much she brings,
how much she's fighting on court and never giving up.
And I see this as a future Grand Slam champion for sure.
Watching your match, somehow I felt like I want to eat the acai bowl.
Oh, go for it.
It's so good, especially when it's hot like that.
I ended up giving up because they are very long queue.
So I don't know if you have specific numbers or figures,
but do you think that you winning matches are good advertisement or promotion for…
Maybe Georgia is proposing that was a good advertisement for acai.
No, but I feel like it's the best meal you could have in these conditions
and it's so refreshing, so good.
But also maybe me winning because I've been having it the whole week.
So guys, go grab some acai.
