00:00Dubai is very very special for me for many reasons, more so because it's actually my,
00:06it used to be home away from home, but it's actually my home now. I live here and my son
00:10goes to school here, so I couldn't have thought of a better place to finish this in front of you
00:14all, the journey that started 18-20 years ago. So thank you so much for always making me feel at
00:21home in Dubai, even when it wasn't my home. For me to stand here in front of my four-year-old son
00:27and to have said that I just played a Grand Slam final a month and a half ago or a month ago
00:31has been so so special. I never thought that would happen to me. So it's very emotional,
00:38but it's also I'm so looking forward to the next chapter of my life, to everybody on the tour and
00:43to, I'll really miss you all, but I'll miss my friends Madison, Bethany, I mean there's so many
00:48great memories I've made here on the tour. I'm not going away, but I will miss competing and
00:55walking out on these kind of beautiful courts to loud cheers and to wins and losses. So
01:01thank you all again for this very very special honor.
