00:30Hopefully, I'll be more of a winner this season than a loser.
00:35So, hoping right now and praying.
00:39Thank you.
00:39Questions, please, if you could just raise your hand.
00:42Yes, we'll start off with you.
00:44From 3Love in the third set, do you have any regrets about what you did
00:49or do you feel it was more her turning the match around?
00:53I think it was like really aggressive tennis overall, like the whole match.
00:57And I feel like in that moment, she kind of like had nothing to lose.
01:02So, she stepped in and she played incredible points.
01:04She was serving.
01:05So, it was just one break.
01:06And probably I should, I mean, I don't know if I have any regrets.
01:12Maybe I should have tried to be more aggressive on my serve,
01:15knowing that I have a break and put pressure on her.
01:17But she played incredible.
01:19She made some winners.
01:21I made a couple of forced errors.
01:22So, of course, I have regrets, you know, when you lead 3Love.
01:27And then it felt like in a few seconds it was 3-4.
01:32And I was down with the break.
01:34So, it was very fast.
01:36And great tennis from her.
01:39Maybe not so smart for me.
01:41But, as I say, today I'm a loser.
01:45Maybe tomorrow I'm a winner.
01:47Maybe again a loser.
01:49Hopefully not.
01:50Let's see.
01:52Ben and then Matt.
01:53I mean, I'm just wondering about your mood.
01:54Because you come in here laughing.
01:55What you don't usually see people do after losing a match.
01:58Just how are you feeling?
01:59How are you processing this?
02:00And how much are you trying to say the right things also, too?
02:05I was, right now I'm laughing, you mean?
02:07When you walked in the room, you were laughing.
02:09I was laughing and crying.
02:12It was a hysterical moment.
02:14But nothing really productive from that conversation.
02:18I was just letting everything go out and try to...
02:22I was really upset with myself, I would say.
02:27Because, once again, I had opportunities.
02:29I played great until a certain point.
02:32And then I couldn't resist that aggression that she had on court today.
02:39And I was just really upset with myself.
02:43But I think, overall, I played great tennis here in Australia.
02:51Even in this final, I felt like I played great.
02:54I was fighting.
02:55I did my best.
02:56And today she was a better player.
02:58So, I don't know.
02:59We'll speak with the team.
03:01Now they try to avoid and escape me.
03:03Because they see that it's not really healthy to be around me right now.
03:08Matt, go ahead.
03:09Hey, Irina.
03:10Tough night.
03:11Do you think of these losses in some big slam finals as a group?
03:17Or do you think of them as sort of individually?
03:19I mean, you've done this incredible thing and have this incredible consistency.
03:25Yeah, I feel like I lost most of the finals I made on the Grand Slams.
03:29Isn't it?
03:314-4.
03:314-4.
03:32Okay, 4-4.
03:33Well, I guess I'm okay.
03:35I take each loss individually because I feel like, I mean, obviously, it was different
03:44players almost every time.
03:47And different problems that I was facing during the match, different mistakes.
03:51Some of them were great matches.
03:53I played incredible.
03:55So, I guess I take it individually.
03:59Simon, go ahead.
04:00Just on that, I mean, I think you said the other day that there were mistakes you'd made
04:04in the past which you felt you'd understood and you kind of mastered that.
04:09So, was it sort of different stuff that went wrong today than in the past?
04:14No, I feel like, yeah, overall, it was much better than last year.
04:20Two finals I lost, I mean, level-wise and decision that I was making and the way that
04:27the mentality was throughout the whole match that I was still there, I was ready to fight.
04:31I knew that she's not going to give it easily to me.
04:35So, I think overall, I made huge improvement on that and I still lost it.
04:42So, but it's okay.
04:43I feel like I'm moving towards the right direction.
04:46Charlie, go ahead.
04:48Top one today.
04:49Just wondered, Elena seems to have really elevated her game over the last few months.
04:53She's in incredible form.
04:54I just wonder, have you noticed kind of a change in playing her the last couple of times?
04:58I think that she definitely, she has more confidence and she goes for her shots without
05:07any doubt, I would say.
05:11But still, she also, like, I still had opportunities, but the level was incredible.
05:16I feel like she just played more aggressive.
05:18Yeah, I mean, she was able to build great confidence, started from, from finals.
05:27Definitely a better, better player.
05:29As a result, she got a slam, which is incredible achievement.
05:33Okay, just a few more in English.
05:34Owen and then Jonathan.
05:36Hi, Elena.
05:36Bad luck today.
05:38You know, at this point in your career, you've won four majors.
05:41You've been close to winning several more, and I'm curious what your ambitions for your
05:50career are, like right now.
05:53Right now?
05:55I don't want to think about tennis.
05:59But ambitions are still the same.
06:02Keep fighting, keep working hard, keep putting myself out there and try my best.
06:07If I'll have another chance in the final, just go out there and do my best.
06:12And then just try the same, you know, try to see how many of them I can get.
06:20Jonathan.
06:21You kind of said you're steering clear of your team at the moment.
06:25After a Grand Slam final, when would you have a debrief with them and go through,
06:29you know, wins or losses and discuss what you can improve?
06:32I don't know.
06:39When?
06:42Today?
06:43Oh, fuck you.
06:44No.
06:47Maybe in a week.
06:51Or maybe in a few days.
06:53Whenever I feel like, okay, I can move on from this one.
06:56All right, we'll do last English question right here.
06:58Arena, Yelena Dokic on the broadcast mentioned that potentially the difference in that third
07:03set was Elena's composure compared to yours.
07:06Do you think that's still something that's a bit of a gap between, say, you and someone
07:10like her?
07:11I said it again?
07:12What was she said?
07:12She said the composure difference between you and Elena was potentially a difference in
07:17that third set.
07:18What is composure?
07:20Like, if Billy's, like, maintain yourself a calm...
07:22Oh, focus.
07:23Maybe.
07:28I feel like it was like this, you know, she lost her focus, I was three left.
07:31I lost my focus, it was like three, four, and she did a better job on handling that pressure
07:39moment, that's for sure.
07:40I lost my focus, I lost my focus, I lost my focus, I lost my focus, I lost my focus, I lost my
07:45focus, I lost my focus, I lost my focus, I lost my focus, I lost my focus, I lost my focus,
