00:00Elisabetta, a big responsibility to come out first and play in the first game, but tell me how it went for you out there.
00:06Yeah, for sure a good responsibility, but of course as an athlete we take it and we hope to play one day that kind of matches.
00:16So I was really honoured to play for my flag for Italy, so I did the best that I can and I'm super happy about the performance,
00:25how I managed the important points and how I played.
00:28But anyway, of course, I'm really happy about also the points for Italy.
00:32Yeah, tell me, you looked like you were playing great tennis, you obviously felt really good out there playing.
00:37Yes, after the tough loss that I did in semi-finals, I was a little bit upset yesterday.
00:42I said to myself, try to improve your game, try to be focused, try to do the opposite thing that you didn't do in the semi-finals
00:51and put pressure on the ball and be aggressive and do everything you can on course and I did.
01:00So I'm super happy how I turned my attitude on course today.
01:03And if you win the first match, have you talked about how it sets up, how will Paulini be feeling now, setting up the difference between you winning and losing?
01:12Yeah, for sure, when you lose the first point, it's always much pressure, but of course it would be a tough match anyway, so we are not done yet.
01:21But she's playing really well, Jessica is playing also really well, so we need to stay focused and we need to cheer for her.
01:30How much would it mean for you as a team to win this title this year?
01:32Yeah, for sure, it would be amazing, I mean, winning the second time in a row, it's unbelievable, I'm playing since six years to this competition,
01:43so I'm really honoured to be part of this team and also to have the support of the captain that trusts me always, so I'm super happy and we will see, we are not done yet.
