00:00It's been five years since I've been here.
00:05They flew by and I'm super, super grateful for the opportunity from Tennis Australia
00:12and grateful for the opportunity to play in front of the fans.
00:17I've just received so much support in the tournaments leading up and
00:20walking around the city and everything, so my hope is to play my best.
00:25I was training nonstop those three months.
00:28There were periods where I was super busy, so I'd have to take a week off here or
00:31three days off there, but for the most part I was training and trying to get myself
00:36back in the groove.
00:38At this point I need to be kind to myself because I'm getting so many things right,
00:42but there had been a lack of playing matches, so I'm playing well.
00:48I'm setting myself up each point to win points and controlling the points,
00:54so that's exactly how I want to play.
00:58I'm playing the tennis I need to play.
00:59I just made it.
