00:00I didn't expect myself either, but since I woke up this morning, I felt it.

00:08I felt it would be not good.

00:11I couldn't eat.

00:13I was really nervous, but in a different way, I would say.

00:17And yeah, I couldn't move.

00:20I couldn't swing.

00:21I couldn't do anything.

00:22So it was really difficult.

00:23And I never, you know, have a thing that I will be knowing I'm playing my last match most probably, like probably, which in the end it was very clear.

00:34But yeah, so it was really difficult to even like imagine.

00:41It was something new and it was for the last time as well.

00:44So I will not take experience from it.

00:46But yeah, I'm glad I did it.

00:48I think it's just ending everything.

00:55Yeah.

00:56And did you give, did you have thoughts about not even playing here after?

01:00I did.

01:01Yeah.

01:02What made your decision to continue?

01:04That I wanted to be playing here.

01:07That was the, yeah, I wanted to be playing here to finish the season like with the Grand Slam and not because the COVID called me.

01:43I was going to say, you know, tennis players play on for a long time these days, much older.

01:48What if in a couple of years' time you just think, I'm bored, I want to come back?

01:52When I was, when I was, when I'm going to be 40 or 42?

01:57No, I don't think so.

02:00Maybe I will be bored, but maybe you're going to see me playing some legends at Wimbledon, maybe.

02:07Who knows?

02:08I would love to play with Martina.

02:09So yeah, that's my another goal.
