00:03Est-ce que c'était une première première fois ?
00:04Obviamente, c'était une première première fois.
00:06C'est un joueur qui n'a pas envie de jouer early dans un slam,
00:12mais si tu veux aller profiter dans ces tournements,
00:18tu dois battre ces joueurs,
00:19donc tu dois bien jouer les joueurs et obtenir la fin dans le tournement.
00:27Oui, c'est vrai que c'était très difficile.
00:34Oui, je pense que c'était 5'2, la 40'2.
00:38J'étais juste zoned-in.
00:40Je pense que j'ai perdu un peu de tête pour quelques matchs,
00:44et puis j'étais juste, OK,
00:45on va revenir à ça et essayer de faire les choses,
00:49essayer d'être en train de retour dans un bon space.
00:51Et je pense que c'est pourquoi j'ai réussi à venir.
00:55Otherwise, j'avais l'upper hand à ce point,
00:59et puis les choses pourraient aller dans l'air pour moi.
01:01Mais en même temps, j'ai l'impression que j'ai beaucoup travaillé
01:06pour avoir l'impression que je peux les joueurs.
01:08Donc, j'essaye d'être en train de jouer,
01:12c'était crucial.
01:13Et puis, j'ai l'impression d'avoir toutes les pensées,
01:16les pensées positives.
01:19Comment tu as-tu réalisé ?
01:23J'ai l'impression d'être gentil à moi.
01:25J'ai l'impression d'être gentil à moi.
01:25C'est une chose qui est important.
01:29Je peux être très difficile sur moi,
01:31mais c'est ma caractère à l'aise.
01:33C'est très difficile de faire ça.
01:37Mais je saisis,
01:38j'ai l'impression d'avoir des choses que j'ai envie de penser à la matche.
01:44J'ai l'impression d'avoir la dernière des années,
01:46j'ai l'impression d'avoir un positif,
01:52j'ai l'impression d'avoir plus de la positive.
01:53J'ai l'impression d'être très difficile.
01:55J'ai l'impression d'avoir la dernière des années,
02:07que j'ai l'impression d'être passé.
02:09J'ai l'impression d'être passé,
02:11j'ai l'impression d'avoir joué le tennis que j'ai pu jouer.
02:16Je saisis bien.
02:17J'ai l'impression d'avoir un choix deきます,
02:21j'ai l'impression d'avoir des moments sur le tourn IDs.
02:25Donc, j'ai l'impression d'avoir un choix de prendre un jeu
02:31au mieux de l'autre.
02:33J'ai l'impression d'avoir des fences,
02:34on, you know, once this one
02:36is done, about getting
02:38to the next one.
02:40I think it's always a matter of
02:43focusing on, you know,
02:44I speak for myself, of course,
02:46focusing on how I want to play.
02:48If I start having all these thoughts, like,
02:50what happens if I lose? I was number
02:52three in the world.
02:54I was so good. I was, like,
02:56going deep in every tournament. Then I just,
02:59you know, I forget
03:00about the basics and just focus on things that
03:02really distract my mind.
03:04And I'm not going to lie. That's how I've
03:06been, you know, thinking the last,
03:08probably after Doha, because I felt like, you know,
03:10I see myself, you know, coming back
03:12in a way and then, you know,
03:14putting all the pressure and the expectations.
03:16And it's fine, you know, that's why I'm so
03:18open about it, because it's,
03:19I didn't want to sit here and tell you,
03:23you know, lies
03:24and just basically
03:26lying to myself and to everyone. So
03:29I'm, you know,
03:30I'm pleased and I'm very, you know,
03:31ready for that challenge. And that's
03:34that's going to be the biggest challenge, you know,
03:35for me moving on, not trying to compare
03:38myself with what I was before.
03:39The way the game has
03:42evolved and
03:43the level, everyone says the quality
03:45has gotten better. It's gotten much deeper.
03:48Is there a chance that
03:50like how
03:52you are now actually would beat
03:54the player you were like five years ago
03:56when you were rising
03:58up the tour? Do you think, does Tom ever
03:59does Tom ever show you
04:02statistics or things like that
04:04that suggest you're actually
04:06stronger? It's just
04:07it's just harder now than it used to be.
04:09I mean, obviously, I think we can all see that
04:11it's in the level has, you know,
04:13raised and it's a lot better from the first.
04:15Like you don't see players
04:17just
04:19going deep into tournaments by just
04:21like it's a walk in the park, like
04:23everyone has to work hard.
04:25and
04:27I think
04:27the way I'm playing, when I play
04:29good, I'm playing better than when I was
04:31playing before.
04:33But then again, back then I was more
04:35fearless and I didn't have all these demons
04:37in my head of how,
04:39you know, what happens,
04:40you know, if I lose and I don't get back
04:42to the top five. Like this is all very,
04:44very, you know,
04:46toxic, I would say.
04:47But back then I was just
04:49ready for that challenge and I didn't
04:51care, you know, I would just go on the
04:52court and that's what I want to get back.
04:54and I feel like the last few days
04:56it's been, it's been a lot better
04:57for sure.
04:59Hello.
04:59Hi.
05:00It took me a while to discover that
05:01you're a daughter of Angeliki
05:02because I knew her very well
05:04from junior times.
05:05That's impressive.
05:07We shared
05:08wonderful times.
05:09Were you a player?
05:10Yes.
05:11Ah, wow.
05:11But many years ago.
05:13She was also many years ago.
05:14I had one of my pictures with her.
05:16No way.
05:17And I remember how she played.
05:19I would like to know the influence
05:20of your mother.
05:21When did it start?
05:23She has a strong character,
05:24I remember.
05:25And how is she still involved
05:27in your tennis life?
05:29And how does it work?
05:31Well, that's very nice of you.
05:32I mean,
05:34it's very nice to see,
05:35you know,
05:35people that
05:37remember my mom
05:38when she was a player.
05:41She's amazing.
05:42I mean,
05:42I don't know why
05:43I get emotional.
05:46she's,
05:49well,
05:50she's the reason
05:50why I'm here
05:51for sure.
05:52And I feel like
05:55obviously our tennis
05:56is very different.
05:57You remember
05:58her tennis.
05:59She had like,
05:59she would grind,
06:00she would hit
06:01a lot of drop shots.
06:03I'm more
06:04good for her.
06:06Really?
06:07Okay.
06:08not a good serve,
06:09very bad serve.
06:10No,
06:10but very strong
06:11for her for this time.
06:13Yeah.
06:15Oh,
06:15thank you.
06:16That's very kind.
06:17I don't know
06:18why I got emotional.
06:19Probably because
06:19I rarely speak about her
06:21or rarely see someone
06:22that really knows her.
06:27I think it's very important,
06:29you know,
06:29having a parent
06:31that really understands
06:33and really feels you.
06:39No,
06:39no,
06:40I'm not crying
06:41because I'm sad.
06:42No,
06:42no,
06:42no.
06:42I'm also very happy
06:43and it's just very emotional
06:45because I don't really,
06:47I mean,
06:47everyone knows
06:48I don't speak a lot
06:49about her,
06:49especially with someone
06:50that really knows her
06:52and it's a nice thing,
06:53you know,
06:53it's a very nice thing.
06:56I,
06:58you know,
06:59the thing is that
07:00she was an amazing player
07:01and she stopped
07:02when she was just 25
07:04and she fell in love
07:05with my dad
07:06and she was like,
07:07I'm not going to do that anymore.
07:08I think she,
07:09she told me in the past
07:10that she felt like
07:11she almost dropped
07:12outside the top 100
07:13and she couldn't,
07:14she felt like
07:15she couldn't get back.
07:16So that's why she stopped.
07:19Her guidance
07:20was the biggest thing
07:21that,
07:22you know,
07:23was the most important thing
07:24for me up until today
07:25because the way
07:27she believed in me,
07:28I mean,
07:28with my dad as well,
07:29but she had the knowledge
07:31was,
07:31was very unique
07:33because I was not
07:34the great junior
07:35like everyone knows
07:36but she kept believing,
07:37she kept bringing,
07:38you know,
07:38the best coaches for me
07:39and it's amazing
07:41to have,
07:42you know,
07:42to have her by my side.
07:44She's here,
07:45by the way.
07:48if she's here,
07:49I would be glad
07:50to meet her
07:53and I would tell you
07:54when she was on,
07:55I don't know
07:56if I can do this
07:57in this.
07:58You can say
07:59whatever you want.
07:59But when she was playing
08:01the small tournaments
08:02in Italy
08:03where I was from Uruguay,
08:06little groups,
08:07she was teaching me
08:08how to dance the Greeks
08:12and she,
08:13I was losing earlier
08:15than she was losing
08:16and I was helping her
08:17a little bit
08:17and she said,
08:18you should be coach.
08:20She was one of the
08:21first persons in my life
08:22that lead me
08:23to make a long
08:24coaching career.
08:26That she doesn't know
08:27but I tell you now
08:28and she's a wonderful person.
08:31Thank you so much.
08:32That's very nice of you.
08:33I'll get your name
08:34so I can tell her
08:35and you guys can,

08:43Couldn't you give you
08:43other people?
08:44Yeah.

08:51A little bit.
08:53Yeah.
