00:00I'm going to close the mask.

00:02I'm going to close the mask.

00:04I'm going to close the mask.

00:06I can't do it.

00:08Yes, I can do it.

00:12Congratulations to Italy on defending your title.

00:16Jasmine, can you tell us how happy you are and how was it out there for you today?

00:20It's unbelievable feeling. Today was a really tough match and we're really happy and proud

00:28of ourselves, I think, of our team. They support him as well.

00:32It's a great day for Italy.

00:42Jasmine, how happy you are today.

00:44It's been so hard for you.

00:49We also feel very happy, very自豪.

00:53Tatiana, could you share your thoughts as a captain?

00:56I'm really proud of my players.

00:59They play with passion, with a lot of personality.

01:05And all of them, they are a big part of the history.

01:10Thank you. Take questions now, please.

01:35Congratulations. One for Jasmine.

01:38How did it feel to come out on the court after Elisabetta's performance?

01:43Did you take inspiration from that and from that really positive start?

01:47Yes, I was so happy with the win of Elisabetta, honestly.

01:52She did an amazing job, an amazing match.

01:55Honestly, it's better to step on court when you are 1-0 up.

02:02So, thank you, Elisabetta.

02:05You're welcome.

02:07And I wonder how much did the experience of winning it last year

02:12and having been in the final before really help you this time round?

02:17Because you all seemed really prepared and just like you stuck to the game plan.

02:21And there didn't seem to be that many nerves.

02:24I don't know. Honestly, I thought that, you know, it was another match with the United States.

02:32It was really complicated, I think.

02:34And we did an amazing job.

02:36But honestly, I was thinking just to play my match against Pegula that she's an amazing player.

02:43So I was trying to focus on myself and I was hoping not to play Davos after that.

02:53Thank you. And just for Sarah, this is your fifth title in the Billie Jean King Cup.

02:59But only seven women have achieved that before in history.

03:03Can you talk to me about what it feels like to do it with this team?

03:06Yeah, it's amazing to be part of this team.

03:10I'm so happy we didn't play the double today.

03:14And I mean, I think it was an amazing week for all of us, for all the team.

03:21And playing this kind of competition is always so special.

03:26So I'm really proud and happy.

03:32First of all, congratulations again.

03:35Pauline, as you know, the fans in Shenzhen is very passionate.

03:40Do you like Shenzhen and do you have any plan after the game, eat traditional Chinese food like dim sum?

03:47Yesterday, I think, it was the first night we ate dumplings.

03:51And it worked really well.

03:56We played amazing today, so more dumplings for us.

04:00I love dumplings, honestly.

04:02We ate dumplings and fried rice all day.

04:07But yeah, Shenzhen is an amazing city.

04:12I think we really felt, you know, comfortable here, organization amazing.

04:17So we really like this competition and we finish in the best way.

04:22So I'm really happy about it.

04:32Question for Elisabeth.

04:33And we all know that the China Open is coming and you play in a qualifying match.
