00:04Congratulations Anna, from Mika Lakilusa all the way to your first semi-final of 78,000.
00:10How are your emotions right now?
00:13Well, it feels great, I wouldn't lie.
00:18Yeah, I've been given a second chance, and I've been using it very good.
00:24And, yeah, it actually can happen in tennis.
00:29That's why I think it's one of the most beautiful sports we have.
00:34And if I was given it, maybe I deserved it.
00:38So, yeah, I'm very happy.
00:41Well done. Congratulations.
00:42I guess, you know, you've obviously done really well with your second chance.
00:46And I guess from a pressure standpoint, coming into the tennis match,
00:49how did you feel, you know, coming into it in terms of pressure?
00:52And then as the match went on, did that pressure sort of change
00:55when, you know, she brought it into, like, a third set?
00:58And, you know, just that.
01:00Yes, I think you saw it with your own eyes, what was happening through the whole match.
01:07Obviously, I started very strong.
01:10I came out, I had nothing to lose.
01:13I didn't know what to expect from her because she's a very dangerous player.
01:17She can serve so well.
01:20She hits hard.
01:21She can hit all the lines.
01:22So, yeah, as I said, I just went there.
01:25And I just wanted to enjoy with my game first and not to look on the other side.
01:30And I think I've been doing it pretty well through the whole first set.
01:35I think it was one of my best sets I've ever played.
01:37And the second set was a bit more tougher because she started to serve better.
01:45She stopped missing some easy balls.
01:49But I think I also did it well until some score.
01:54And that's where I couldn't handle my nerves.
01:58But I also got to say I've never been in this position in my career.
02:04It's for the first time when I'm set up in such an event, quarterfinal, serving for the match.
02:14And it's not easy.
02:15I think you need to be here a few times to understand it, to learn it, and to get through
02:25it.
02:26But, yeah, as I said, it seems like this tournament keeps giving me a second chance.
02:32And I got my second chance in a third set.
02:36And this one I knew I'm not going to give it away.
02:40So, yeah, I just got it.
02:44Hey, Nastasia, congratulations.
02:46I know you've talked about this a bit, but I'm curious about what was your reaction, I guess, emotionally after
02:52you lost in qualifying.
02:53I imagine that's a match you thought you should be winning.
02:56So, how did you react to that?
02:58And then how did you get your head ready for the first round?
03:05Well, I had a pretty tough week coming to play in Madrid.
03:12I cannot say I was fully ready.
03:15I didn't have a proper recovery days because I didn't have time for it after Linz.
03:24Also, it was a little bit unfortunate in the second round of the qualifying weather.
03:30Just everything around what's going on this match just didn't help me.
03:35But I just let it go.
03:39I had beautiful two days off in Madrid.
03:42I love Spain.
03:44I had good food.
03:46My family was here.
03:47So, I was really enjoying it.
03:49And to be honest, I didn't expect myself being in a draw again.
03:54Because at first, they didn't take my name as a lucky loser.
03:59And then the days kept on going and nobody were injured or pulling out.
04:08And then the last moment, I got the information literally 30 minutes before the match that I was giving a
04:16chance to step on court here again.
04:19I cannot say that I was preparing or something.
04:23I was not at all.
04:25But I was trying just to recover and to have some nice days.
04:29But maybe that's the key.
04:31You don't need to always be so zoomed in and so locked in on the tournament.
04:38Maybe it's just a matter of sometimes just to enjoy yourself and enjoy the journey.
04:45And maybe that's how the results can also come.
04:52Your kind of game suits all the courts.
04:56But could you consider a specialist in clay?
04:59You play hard and take risks.
05:02Yes, I agree.
05:03I think I can adapt very well on the surface.
05:09I think I showed it in the past years that I can also do great things on hard courts.
05:14I can also compete on grass.
05:15I can compete on clay.
05:18I think that's what makes me dangerous player sometimes, if I can say that.
05:24Because I know how to adapt.
05:26I know I have different tactics for different surfaces.
05:31It's true.
05:33But, yeah, I think also one of the keys is that I know how to play in defensive mode, you
05:44know, when I need to defend.
05:45So, yeah, I think it helps on clay especially.
05:50And as you said, in general, I try to be a pretty aggressive player.
05:57But I also know how to back up and just make rallies.
06:01So, yeah, I know how to back up and just make it a little bit of a little bit of
