00:00Oui, je suis super contente d'avoir gagné cette victoire, Myriam est si jeune, si mature,
00:08c'est un très bon joueur, elle peut jouer de très bons tennis et je suis super contente d'avoir gagné cette victoire.
00:16Any questions?
00:18Congratulations. I'm curious to know, Pam Shriver came out overnight and was critical of the scheduling.
00:24Who?
00:25Pam Shriver. She just said that the Australian Open seems to be putting all the women's matches early,
00:32getting them out of the way, giving the men's matches prime time. I was just wondering if you had any thoughts on that
00:38or do you prefer playing in the day?
00:40I mean, I like to play both because if you finish early then you have time for dinner, to relax, you're not that late,
00:49your sleep is better, but also, of course, I like to play 7pm matches, not the second after 7pm, after guys, I don't want that.
00:58Because, yeah, it's the full stadium, it's a great atmosphere, so I like both, but I don't know, like the first day I played 7pm,
01:07like I think yesterday there was 7pm girls matches, so I'm not sure about that.
01:13I mean, so far I'm happy with the scheduling, I cannot relate to this.
01:19Thamany.
01:21Congratulations, Serena. You had to fight hard in your two previous matches.
01:26How much did kind of working through those tight moments help you today bring out your best tenets?
01:32Well, definitely, when you struggle with your game and you had to overcome a lot of things in the match and you still win the match,
01:38it gives you so much confidence going into the next one, you know that no matter what's going to happen in the match,
01:45you're going to be there, you're going to be fighting, like your fight spirit is there, you know.
01:50So, yeah, definitely those matches gave me so much belief that no matter what, I'm going to be there and I'm going to be fighting.
01:58Charlie.
02:00Congrats. I just wondered, how bothered are you by head-to-head records against other players before a match?
02:07Like, obviously today you had a good record against Mirror, you could play Donner in the next round, who has a good record against you.
02:13Do you look at that things and does that affect how you prepare for matches?
02:17Not at all. You know, for me, every match is a new opportunity, it's a new game.
02:22It doesn't matter what happened in the past. For me, it's about staying in the moment and focusing on myself and on bringing my best game
02:31because I know that if I'll be able to bring my best game, I know that I can get the win.
02:37So I'm trying to focus on myself.
02:40Do you think there was a point in your career where maybe that would be a factor and you might be intimidated by a bad record?
02:46Yeah, of course. I think when you're young, you're focusing too much on outside things.
02:52And then with experience, you realize that it actually doesn't matter.
02:56You know, whatever happened outside of the tennis court, it's not a big deal.
02:59You just have to focus on yourself in the moment and play just point by point.
03:05Hello Irina and congratulations. Yesterday, Iga spent 70 minutes on court. Today, you beat her, you spent 62.
03:13Is this the difference between a number one and a number two?
03:16Oh my God, these questions. I mean, I have to say, it's definitely not something we're focusing on, you know.
03:25That's my answer.
03:29Irina, you just spoke about, you used the word struggling. You're on top of the world now.
03:34But if you go back a couple of years and you were having all the serving issues, the double faults, etc.
03:41How did you get yourself out of that situation on the mental side?
03:48Because that would be the biggest issue when that sort of thing is happening, to get you to where you are now.
03:55And was it a fight with yourself or how can you explain that?
04:00Because it's such a transformation. It's been quite remarkable.
04:04Honestly, when I look back, I think someone was just like forcing me to try something else to improve my serve.
04:11Because my serve right now is much better.
04:16Even before that situation happened with my serve, I was serving pretty well.
04:22But right now, looking back, it wasn't enough for winning the Grand Slam.
04:26So I'm actually, at the end, I'm super happy that that happened to me.
04:30And I was able to reach out to Gavin McMillan.
04:38I still don't know his surname. I'm sorry, Gavin. He's going to forgive me.
04:44And yeah, we worked on the bad mechanic and we improved my serve so much.
04:50And answering the question how I was able to get out from that situation, I don't know.
04:56Honestly, we tried so many things.
04:59And at some point, you just have to step back and you have to realize a lot of things in life.
05:04And you come to the point when you understand that tennis is just tennis.
05:10There are bigger things in life.
05:12And you just have to try your best. You have to, I don't know, just go through it.
05:18You just have to go out there without any fear of losing the match or facing the same struggle one more time.
05:26So I don't know. Honestly, I don't know.
05:30I just have so much love for the sport.
05:34And I was just like, keep trying, keep trying.
05:36And finally, I found a way and I improved my serve.
05:40And I was able to achieve so many things.
05:42Did you lose belief?
05:44Yeah, there was a point when I was like, OK, you know what? I'm done here.
05:47I think it's time to go and do something else in life.
05:51And, you know, I think this is the moment when you have to push yourself to try one more time.
05:57Because this is the moment where you can turn around things.
06:04So you obviously revealed on the court that you have your Polaroid goals for this year.
06:08Are there any other non-tennis goals that you have set yourself for 2025?
06:12I was wrong. It was Fujifilm, first of all.
06:16No, it's just like, I don't know.
06:20It's just a nice moment and I really like to see all of those pictures.
06:26I started from the preseason and it's so cute to see these little moments.
06:31And other than that, I don't know.
06:34I mean, I just want to, you know, improve myself every day,
06:39get better as the player, as the person and capture great moments.
06:43Hopefully I'm going to have enough.
06:45So far, that's it.
06:49We've seen a lot of players in the past who get to be number one or win a Grand Slam
06:53and they have a hard time with the attention and the pressure that comes with that.
06:57It seems like you're having more fun than ever as number one and as a Grand Slam champion.
07:01Is that accurate? Is this all just fun for you?
07:04Are there parts of the pressure that you can notice
07:06or is it just really something you're just as happy as you seem?
07:10Bien sûr qu'il y a la pression.
07:12Et ça n'a pas d'importance si tu es numéro un, numéro deux ou numéro dix.
07:16Il y a toujours la pression.
07:17Et je pense que c'est tout un sujet de se concentrer sur soi-même,
07:21de s'amuser à l'extérieur du court,
07:24de s'amuser à l'extérieur du court,
07:27parce qu'il y a suffisamment de pression à l'intérieur du court.
07:29Et je pense que c'est tout un sujet de la balance.
07:31Tu dois faire des choses qui te donnent plaisir dans la vie.
07:35Et aussi, tu dois sortir et tu dois compéter et te battre.
07:38Et encore une fois, c'est tout un sujet de la balance, ces deux choses.
07:42Est-ce que tu as suivi la bande TikTok qui peut se produire aux Etats-Unis?
07:46Oui, j'ai entendu parler de ça.
07:48Mais ce n'est pas quelque chose que nous pouvons contrôler.
07:50Et j'espère qu'ils vont le comprendre, parce que j'adore TikTok.
07:55D'accord, quelques-unes plus pour Meini.
07:57J'ai juste une question.
07:59L'année dernière, dans la quarte finale de Roland-Garros,
08:02comment t'as-tu senti?
08:03T'étais-tu malade?
08:04On ne t'a pas vu depuis des mois après ça.
08:06Je ne sais pas si tu as déjà parlé de ça.
08:08Oui, c'était un match très dur.
08:12J'étais en pause du ventre.
08:15Et c'était la pire sensation que j'ai jamais eue dans mon ventre.
08:18Et je pense que c'était juste la combinaison du stress
08:21et d'avoir des problèmes dans le ventre.
08:24En plus du stress, c'était...
08:27Je n'ai jamais eu ce genre de douleur.
08:30Je ne pouvais pas bouger.
08:33J'ai réussi à faire la course,
08:36mais c'était la situation la plus difficile que j'ai jamais eue.
08:44J'ai fait quelques ajustements dans mon ventre
08:49avant le match,
08:51et j'espère vraiment que ça ne se reproduira jamais.
08:55Est-ce que tu étais trop malade pour venir à la presse?
08:57Combien de temps a-t-il fallu pour t'en sortir et te sentir bien?
09:02Je dirais 3 ou 4 jours.
09:04J'étais toujours en train de me battre.
09:06Et ensuite, les choses ont commencé à s'améliorer.
09:14Tu jouais Donna ou Anastasia dans la prochaine ronde.
09:17Si tu devais choisir l'un des deux, qui serait-ce?
09:21Ça ne m'importe pas.
09:23Je ne m'en soucie pas.
09:25Combien de temps tu connais les deux équipes?
09:27Je les connais très bien.
09:28J'ai joué beaucoup de matchs contre les deux équipes.
09:32Et qui que ce soit qui gagne ce match,
09:34je vais aller là-bas et me battre,
09:37et faire de mon mieux pour passer ce match.
09:42J'ai remarqué que tu portes une boucle,
09:44et je pense que le reste de ton équipe en a aussi.
09:46Je me demande si tu compares les heures dormantes,
09:49et tu es un joueur de top 10,
09:51est-ce qu'il y a une certaine quantité que tu veux obtenir,
09:53et est-ce que tu as atteint ce but la plupart du temps?
09:55Oui, j'aime porter une boucle,
09:57et j'aime voir les données de la boucle.
10:00Je suis en train de suivre mon temps de sommeil,
10:04ma réparation, mon HRV,
10:07et mon équipe passe par mes données,
10:10parfois, pour ajuster un peu mes exercices.
10:14J'aime ça, c'est vraiment utile pour moi.
10:17T'as combien d'heures de sommeil?
10:19Ça dépend.
10:21J'essaie d'arriver à 8-9 heures,
10:23mais pas plus,
10:25parce que si je dors trop,
10:27je suis trop fatiguée.
10:29J'essaie de gérer entre 7 et 9 heures.
