00:00Thank you, question to Yuri, bad luck today, but could you please talk us through the tie?
00:20Yeah, it's a tough day today.
00:23Well, what can I say, I know the team gave everything, we played one of the best teams, we had three unbelievable matches, it was so close, and I'm proud of the team, and I know they gave not even 100%, 110%, so it's a sport, you know, like one team gonna lose,
00:51but, well, I think we showed the American team that we are really strong too, and we could beat every team.
01:02Questions in English, please.
01:32Elena, a question for you first, can you talk through that doubles match in particular, what do you think proved the difference in the end, it was so tight margins, even in the first set as well?
01:45Well, I think that they're a little bit more experienced, I would say that's for sure, but I think we played really well, it was pretty close, I had some little chances, but again, they're a strong team, and I think we did pretty well today, and hopefully next time it's gonna go early.
02:05And I saw at the end of the match, you spent a lot of time signing autographs with the fans, can you talk a little bit about the fans that showed up for your team that were so loud today?
02:15Yeah, it's really nice to see so many fans, and really grateful for the support, it was nice atmosphere, and I just didn't have time after singles to spend a bit time, so I did it after doubles, but definitely they supported us a lot, and it's great.
02:33Hi Elena, so you played single and then you played double, and you played with Pola today, how do you feel to play against single then double, is this different, feel different?
02:58Of course singles and doubles is different, but I think as I said, we did pretty well today in all the singles and doubles, just a little bit unlucky, but overall I think we showed good tennis, and hopefully fans also enjoyed, and yeah, I think the next time we just analyze and we try to do better than today.
03:26What's your feeling here?
03:28What's your feeling here in Shenzhen, because you stayed a couple days already, not just during the game and practice in the hotel, how do you feel about the whole journey here?
03:36I really like to play in China, and here I think they treated us pretty well, the city is very nice, very green, and hopefully I can also stay a little bit tomorrow and enjoy the city, have a nice day off.
03:51And also after this match, I'm going to go into the China Open, what's your future plan for the rest of the season?
04:01There is still some days to prepare, so that's what we're going to do with the team, but again, I'm pretty happy to be back in China, and hopefully I can finish the year strong.
04:18We'll go to national language now, please.
04:23I always say that trainers are more visible than the players in the team, than the players on the plate, even sitting on the TV.
04:30But you always have to find some obvious solutions.
04:35So, can you tell me, why exactly why such a pair is not JBEK or Aya or other people?
04:47Well, first, yes, it was a tough decision.
04:50That's a tough decision.
04:51But there are two pairs of players, you see, they often play with their own partner and they're not.
05:05There is a big deal of understanding in the game.
