02:35An incredible match.
02:38Just this time last year, you were playing ITF tournaments in Portugal.
02:44Your first time in the main draw of the Australian Open.
02:47How does that feel?
02:48Thank you so much.
02:51Yeah, it feels amazing.
02:53I think, yeah, I didn't expect that last year at the beginning of the year.
02:59So yeah, how you said I was playing at the ITF tournaments.
03:04And now I'm in main draw here in Melbourne.
03:07So yeah, it feels amazing and to play in front of that crowd and yeah, in the stadium, it's
03:14amazing.
03:15It feels amazing.
03:23You got to the quarterfinals here in the juniors just last year and tell me, what is that
03:31feeling, that journey from juniors through to the WTA events and these big grand slams?
03:38How does that change with your approach and your thinking and the work that you have to
03:43do?
03:44Yeah, I think it happens so fast.
03:47So yeah, yeah, I'm just trying to play.
03:52Yeah, I'm playing in bigger matches with the best players in the world.
03:58So yeah, I'm just really grateful that I can be here.
04:01I can play here in this type of tournament.
04:04So yeah, and just to play the biggest tournaments, what you can play.
04:08So I'm just really grateful and yeah, enjoying it.
04:12Can you tell us a little bit about the country that you come from?
04:16Just 10 million people in Czechia.
04:18You've got eight women in the top 10.
04:22You've had incredible role models like Martina, Jana, Hanna.
04:27Who is your role model and how does this happen?
04:31Is it the water in the country or what is it?
04:33Why are there so many great players from Czechia?
04:36Oh yeah, this type of question is, yeah, they're asking me so many times.
04:43But yeah, we're a small country and we have just so many good players here and I think
04:51we can be proud of ourselves to represent Czech Republic.
04:55So yeah, it's amazing and I don't know, it's just something in the air there.
05:00So maybe in the water or something, I don't know.
05:03Well Teresa, four years ago you were ranked 1200 in the world when you were 14 years of
05:09age.
