00:00Not the result you were hoping for today, but overall are good championships?
00:04Yeah, I mean, it's always a bad feeling, you know, losing matches.
00:12I think it's a little bit even worse when you're losing a final.
00:18But, you know, overall, I'm just really proud about everything I've done, you know,
00:23the last four weeks on grass here in London and just leave Wimbledon.
00:29I just left the court with the head really, really high because, you know,
00:33that I just did everything that I could today.
00:36Just I played against someone who played an unbelievable game.
00:41So just a little bit sad about losing, but with the head really high.
00:47Simon?
00:49It felt like you weren't a surfboard today, not a surfboard.
00:54I mean, today was complicated a little bit.
00:58You know, low percentage of fair surf.
01:03And then, you know, I played against one of the best returning on tour without doubt.
01:10So it was a weapon that I wished it could be better.
01:19But today it was, I mean, with the nerves and everything, it was difficult to serve better.
01:24So I just have to improve that, yeah, absolutely.
01:28Hey, Carlos.
01:30Tough one.
01:31The last time you lost a big final like this last summer at the Olympics,
01:37it took you a while to sort of bounce back, it seemed like.
01:41And I'm sort of curious, what did you learn from that experience that you can now apply to this experience
01:48about bouncing back and moving on?
01:51Well, I think it's different.
01:55It's a different feeling, to be honest.
02:00Yeah, last year, you know, in the Olympics, I just, I was really bad emotionally after the match.
02:12So it was really, really hard for me to accept that moment.
02:17And right now, I think, you know, in the last year, I've been through different situations that I learned from then.
02:29And right now, I'm in a position that I've spoken a few times already that, okay, I just accept everything that is coming to me in the way it comes.
02:45Like, okay, I just lost a final in a Grand Slam, but I'm just really proud about being in a final.
02:52So, I just want to keep the good moments and trying to forget, you know, the bad moments.
03:04I just want to think like, okay, I just played a final in a Grand Slam and trying to forget that I lost it.
03:09It's just about, I was able to play in it and I just want to accept it.
03:16So, right now, I'm just, as I said, I'm not bad at all. I'm just happy. I'm smiling because in my head, it was about playing the final and be grateful for that.
03:32Hi, Carlos. The rivalry with Yannick. How much does it mean for you to have an opponent at that level? And where do you think this rivalry is going?
03:43Well, first of all, I'm just really, really happy about having this rivalry with him.
03:50I think it's great for us and it is great for the tennis.
03:57Every time we play against each other, I think our level is really high.
04:02I think we don't watch a level like this, if I'm honest with you. I don't see any player playing against each other, you know, having the level that we're playing when we face each other.
04:21I think, as I said many, many times, this rivalry is coming better and better.
04:27We're building a really great rivalry because we're playing final of Grand Slam, final of Masters Mills, the best tournament in the world.
04:36So, and it's going to be better and better and I'm just really grateful for that because it gives me the opportunity to just give my 100% every practice every day just to be better.
04:49Thanks to that because, you know, the level that I have to maintain and I have to raise if I want to beat Yannick is really high.
04:57So, I'm just really grateful for that.
04:59Eleanor?
05:00Hi, Carlos. Bad luck today.
05:02Obviously, the defeat for Yannick in Paris was a really difficult one.
05:06Did he surprise you with the way he was able to get over that so quickly and come back and win here?
05:12Not at all. He didn't surprise me at all because I know he's a really nice player and a huge champion.
05:21And the champions learned from the, I'm not going to say failures, but they learned from the losses.
05:32And I knew at the beginning that he was going to learn from that final, not going to make the same mistakes as they did in the French Open final.
05:46So, the way he played today was really, really high and I didn't surprise at all.
05:50Or I knew he was playing, he was going to play like this.
05:55So, it was about some details and yeah, I mean, overall, he didn't surprise me at all because I know he's a big champion.
06:09Carol?
06:10Can I just ask you how you felt in terms of energy during this match? Because it seemed that maybe in the middle of this match you hit a bit of a rough patch,
06:19in terms of energy physically. Did you feel you had enough in the tank to go the distance there?
06:25Well, it just, no, I didn't feel down physically at all during the match. It was all about, you know, he was pushing me to the limit in every point.
06:38So, mentally, sometimes it's really tough to maintain, you know, the good focus or the good level during the whole match.
06:46When you see the opponent just playing such a great tennis and at some points I didn't know what I had to do in the match.
06:54Because from the best line, from the best line, I was feeling he was better than me and I couldn't do anything about it.
07:02And I think, you know, the big key was about the second serve. So, he was returning really well the second serve that I was hitting.
07:15And thanks to that, he was in the position to attack in the second ball every time.
07:24So, it was really difficult when you're feeling that you're just defending all the time and running from side to side all the time.
07:30So, that was my feeling, but I didn't feel down physically that answer.
07:36Last English question, Willy.
07:38Carlos, what do you think you need to do better, if anything, to do better against him next time?
07:47Well, I think, well, surfaces are really, you know, different.
07:55And I think, for example, today playing on grass, as I said, the second serve are really, really important.
08:02And I felt like I just gave him a lot of free points when he was serving the second serve.
08:09Okay, he has a big first serve, that's obviously.
08:13And I just try to return or win points from the first serve that it is more difficult.
08:19But when you have the times to return a second serve, I had to do more with those points.
08:27I had to return better. I had to try to be in the position of attack after the return.
08:36And, you know, I just felt he was serving really quite easily.
08:42And he was winning his serve game quite easily.
08:46Because of that, it pushed him, you know, to have nerves, you know, on the serve game.
08:55So I think I have to be better on that.
08:58Overall, it was a great match. I think the level from the best and it was really high.
09:02And I think that was the big difference between both of us today.
09:07Okay, thank you. We'll switch to Spanish questions.
