00:30You just mentioned the conditions
00:32Can you talk a little bit about
00:33How hard it is out there today
00:36And how it compares
00:38To other tournaments that you've played
00:40Here in particular
00:41Because the conditions completely change on the court too
00:45You know I was thinking about it
00:46And I don't think
00:48It's still
00:49It's still not even close to the conditions
00:52I played in during Olympics here
00:54This was one of the worst
00:56Mashes I've experienced
00:58In my life
00:59It was like 37 or 38
01:02And very humid
01:04And I beat Sakari that day
01:06Also it was a super long match
01:08But yeah
01:09It was much worse than this
01:13You know I think
01:14It didn't help me
01:16Today that I played first match
01:18First
01:19Because it was way way cooler
01:23But yeah it was not easy
01:25I needed to adapt
01:26I needed time
01:27Was very unlucky on set points
01:30In the first set
01:30I think if I won that first set
01:33It would have ended in two
01:34I mean I'm hoping
01:35It would be like this
01:37But yeah
01:38And that didn't help
01:40But I still think
01:42It was a really good match
01:43I think she played very good today
01:46For me the biggest issue
01:48Was first set
01:48Because I just needed to get used to this heat
01:50And to these conditions
01:51Which wasn't easy
01:52And she played good
01:53So you know
01:55I needed to change things
01:56That I was doing
01:57And that's it
01:59But yeah
02:00It was
02:00I mean it's still hot
02:02And it's very dry
02:03So I always felt like
02:04I need to drink
02:05I want to drink more and more
02:08And yeah
02:09It was tough
02:17Hi Marta
02:18Well played
02:19Do you read Sandra's blog ever?
02:22You probably don't need to
02:22Because you're with her so much
02:25I am the first one to read it
02:26I read it before it's published
02:29By the way
02:30So yeah
02:30I always
02:31She always asks me
02:32I give her my feedback
02:36Yeah
02:36I think
02:37I mean I'm very happy
02:38That she shares it with me
02:39Before sharing it with everyone else
02:41I think she's doing
02:43A very very good job
02:44And she's very good at this too
02:47I hope people will recognize it more
02:50Than they do
02:51She talked
02:53I read the last one
02:54I thought it was really cool
02:55After Madrid
02:55But there's a couple of cool points
02:57I'd like to talk about
02:58She talked about
02:59A level that appears
03:00And a level that stays
03:01That's probably on your mind right now
03:04And it clearly has been staying
03:05Through these last 13 matches
03:06So can you comment a little bit
03:07On the differences between those
03:09And how you think about those?
03:12Yeah I mean I think I will also quote
03:14What she said
03:15That there is not one magical thing
03:16That changes or happens
03:18And then suddenly you're like
03:20A different player
03:22I think we've worked really well
03:23For a long time
03:24And you know
03:25Some things were just not aligning
03:27Something wasn't enough
03:28But overall
03:30I think I was consistent
03:32With my work
03:33Was consistent
03:34On good days
03:35On bad days
03:36And yeah
03:39I mean if I knew
03:40A better answer
03:41I would
03:42You know
03:43I would say it
03:43But
03:45Yeah
03:46I don't
03:47I don't think there is like
03:48One thing that changed
03:49Or even two
03:50I think it's like
03:51Tennis is a very complex sport
03:53For me
03:53So
03:55It cannot be like
03:56You know
03:57One thing can change everything
03:59You know
04:00But also one thing
04:01Can ruin everything
04:02So it's like
04:02Because it's such
04:03You know
04:04It's so many puzzles together
04:06And they are all connected
04:07So
04:08Yeah
04:09I think we're doing a good job
04:11I don't think about
04:13My past results at all
04:14Like
04:15Whenever someone's asking me
04:16About streak
04:17Or something
04:18I don't even think about it
04:19Of course it helps
04:20Sometimes
04:21Like today
04:21When I lost first set
04:23I was like
04:23Yeah you know
04:24Like you can do it
04:25Like you can pull it off
04:26It's okay
04:26Like you've done it
04:28Before many times
04:29So that helps
04:30But it doesn't necessarily
04:32Like
04:33Rules my game
04:34You know
04:36Congrats Marta
04:37For today
04:38I believe you've started
04:39Working with
04:40Dr. Ciccarelli
04:41On the mental
04:43Training part
04:43At PITC
04:44Center
04:45And Sina
04:45Has been doing the same
04:46I'm just curious
04:47What you can share
04:48About
04:49How it's been
04:50Working for you
04:51Has it been
04:52Making already
04:53A difference
04:54Or do you
04:55Lead the experience
04:55First of all
04:56How do you guys
04:58Know about this
04:59That I know
05:01This is like
05:02Do you have like
05:03Spies around
05:04Or what
05:05Well I don't hide it
05:06Or anything
05:06It's just funny
05:07Because I
05:07You know
05:08Nobody talks about this
05:09Yeah I mean
05:10I didn't do
05:11A lot of it
05:12But I think
05:13My ostio Claudio
05:14Who is
05:15You know
05:16Part of
05:16PITI
05:17Team
05:18Many many years
05:19He told me
05:21After
05:21It was very
05:23Difficult message
05:23That he sent
05:25After I lost
05:26In
05:26Melbourne
05:27First round
05:28And I got injured
05:29And he said
05:30Yeah like
05:30Your mind
05:31Was not in
05:32The right place
05:33Like
05:33You need to
05:34Work on that
05:35Like
05:35I mean
05:35He didn't say
05:36It in that way
05:36He was just
05:37Like texting
05:38On the group
05:39Saying yeah
05:39I think
05:39There are things
05:40That can be
05:41Improved
05:41And it wasn't
05:42Good at all
05:43And he introduced
05:44To this mental economy
05:46Training
05:46And I've been doing
05:48That since then
05:50I
05:51I don't know
05:52It's super cool
05:53It doesn't work
05:55For everyone
05:55Though
05:56Like we've spoken
05:57With them a lot
05:58And they're like
05:59Yeah there are some
06:00Players who are
06:00Unbelievable at this
06:01But they
06:02Just go on court
06:03And nothing
06:04Like
06:05It's like gone
06:08Yeah but I'm happy
06:09With the work
06:09We've done
06:10I don't know
06:11Exactly
06:13What has changed
06:14Like
06:14Because I didn't
06:16Do it also
06:16That much
06:17But I think
06:18What's
06:19Like the
06:20Biggest difference
06:21That I see
06:22Is that I
06:23Care way less
06:25On the court
06:26And
06:28Like I don't
06:29Spend too much
06:30Like my
06:31Of my brain
06:32Energy on things
06:33Like
06:33I just let it
06:35Go faster
06:35And
06:36I know
06:37The feeling
06:37That I have
06:38When I practice
06:39This thing
06:41When I don't
06:42Use my brain
06:43Energy
06:44And I'm trying
06:45To find that
06:46Feeling
06:46So that helps
06:47Me to not
06:48Burn out
06:48You know
06:48Or to like
06:49Be exhausted
06:50After long
06:50Matches
06:51Or whatever
06:52So yeah
06:53I think that
06:53That is the
06:54Biggest difference
06:55For me
07:00There are always
07:02Stages of growth
07:02In your career
07:03I mean
07:03You've been at it
07:04For a while
07:05And taken many
07:06Steps
07:06And I just
07:07Want to know
07:08Do you feel like
07:09In the last
07:09Three months
07:10With what's been
07:11Happening with you
07:12On the court
07:12There is something
07:14That you have now
07:15That you didn't
07:16Have before
07:17Maybe
07:18Well I think
07:19Coming back
07:20To that
07:20You know
07:21Previous answer
07:22That I worked
07:24On that part
07:24Of not giving
07:26Too much
07:27You know
07:27When it's
07:28Especially when
07:28It's unnecessary
07:29Like to not
07:30Care that much
07:31And that was
07:33A very difficult
07:34Part for me
07:35Because I felt
07:35Like everything
07:36Is very important
07:37And you know
07:38Everything costs
07:38A lot
07:39And yeah
07:41For sure
07:41That changed
07:43And this is
07:44What helped me
07:44Like to not
07:46Be tired
07:47After the weeks
07:48Like it took me
07:49Just a few days
07:49To recover from
07:50Madrid
07:51When before
07:52Even if we
07:54Take Brisbane
07:54After Brisbane
07:55I didn't have
07:56Enough time
07:56To recover from
07:57Melbourne
07:58Like I was
07:58Really really
07:59Tired
07:59I mean
07:59Brisbane was
08:01Really good week
08:01But it just
08:03Cost me a lot
08:03Of energy
08:04And everything
08:05So I think
08:06That changed
08:07The most
08:07But I was
08:09Working on that
08:09Part for a long
08:10Time as well
08:11It's just that
08:11I work it
08:12In different ways
08:13And it's
08:15It's very like
08:17It's a long
08:17Conversation
08:18You know
08:18If I will start
08:19To explain
08:19Everything
08:20But yeah
08:22I said it before
08:24Like my biggest
08:24Problem before
08:25Was that mentally
08:27It was difficult
08:27For me
08:28To sustain
08:28The level
08:30Right now
08:30It's less
08:31Of an issue
08:32For sure
08:34Thank you
