00:03Congratulations, through to the next round.
00:05The score might look quite as an easy game,
00:08but how did you feel on court
00:09and how do you evaluate your game today?
00:12Yeah, I think I played well in the tight moments in the games
00:16and obviously the score line is favoring me well,
00:20but it wasn't necessarily realistic
00:22to how all the games were played out
00:23and I think I just played the right way
00:26in the bigger points.
00:33Hi Eva, you look completely composed out there
00:35the way you're moving through the draw.
00:37It is your first third round here,
00:39but obviously you had the deep run in Melbourne.
00:42When your name comes up as the youngest since in statistics,
00:46how do you stay so grounded and who helps you with that?
00:51I think my entire team is pretty good
00:55with just not focusing on those things
00:58and just thinking about the tennis
01:01and what I need to improve and what I need to get better.
01:03So ultimately I know I'm going to be a really good player
01:07if I can keep working and improving
01:10on the things I need to work on, right?
01:12So that's the most important
01:14and then whatever statistic I reach or don't reach,
01:16it's just going to be an end result of that.
01:19You obviously met your idol Novak in Melbourne
01:22and I believe you've since met him again.
01:24If there was one quality or one attribute from him
01:28that you wish you could use on your own journey,
01:31what would that be?
01:34I think it would be the growth mindset that he's had.
01:38He is a completely different player
01:42than when he was at the start of his career,
01:45technically, tactically, everything.
01:46So to be able to improve that much
01:50when you're playing every week is incredible
01:52and not being kind of stubborn in your ways,
01:55making changes, making improvements is very important.
01:58So I hope I can keep that kind of open-minded mentality
02:02and be able to make changes
02:05even though you're competing all the time.
02:07Was there any element of being starstruck
02:10when you met him or was it just felt completely natural?
02:13Obviously, I think it's starstruck.
02:16Everything's starstruck here.
02:17So it's starstruck to be here, right?
02:20But maybe one day I'll wake up and it'll all sink in.
02:25Just talking about another all-time great,
02:28apparently Serena Williams is going to come back.
02:31You've probably heard.
02:32You're a different generation.
02:34I just want to know what your thoughts of her are
02:37being from a different generation.
02:39What do you think it means for tennis that she's coming back?
02:42Tennis in general, women's tennis, if you like.
02:45I think it's amazing.
02:46I just saw the confirmation on my phone a couple hours ago.
02:49It's really cool.
02:50I have never seen Serena in real life.
02:53Obviously, I grew up watching her.
02:55And kind of my entire childhood, she was dominating tennis.
02:58So it's going to be incredible.
03:00And I think it's really good for the sport.
03:02I think it's going to make a lot of headlines
03:04and something that people are going to talk about.
03:06So I'm looking forward to it.
03:09And I think it's very positive.
03:17I believe you've got Naomi next, fourth round.
03:20Yes.
03:20Have you played her before?
03:22And if not, what do you make of that matchup?
03:25Never played her before.
03:27Obviously, seen her play a ton.
03:29But no, never even practiced with her.
03:31So it'll be a little bit unknown for both of us.
03:33But obviously, one of the cleanest ball strikers on tour.
03:37She has a great, great offense.
03:39So hopefully, I can not let her, you know, strike
03:44and do what she can do very well.
03:47Hopefully, I can make her a bit uncomfortable.
03:48But it's going to be a battle.
03:50And yeah, let's see.
03:52Hopefully, I can just keep the level up.
03:56Yeah, actually, Naomi was saying that she likes the heat.
03:59And she actually wants it to be hotter.
04:02Yannick Sinner doesn't look like he's enjoying the heat.
04:05He's struggling.
04:05Other players have struggled.
04:06I was wondering if you enjoy playing in really hot conditions
04:11or if you find them difficult.
04:15I mean, I think it's difficult for everyone.
04:17Obviously, nobody, you know, wants to be playing when it's super hot
04:21and everyone's sweating a ton.
04:23But I've gotten much better with it earlier in my career.
04:26Can't even say not that much long ago.
04:29But still, earlier, I would struggle more.
04:32But I've been training a lot in humid, hot conditions
04:35and making some changes with my own habits to help me.
04:40So, so far, this year has been pretty good with the heat.
04:43like, go ahead.
04:44Did you miss세ings?
04:45So, thank you.
04:46And yeah,
04:46Thank you very much for having me.
