01:00So it seems you and Novak are a little bit of a Michael Jackson dance off on the stairs.
01:05Yeah, I love that I'm the second one, so he has to come up with something,
01:10and I just have to, I don't know, I have to follow and do it a little bit better.
01:14I'm just curious, what's your favorite Michael Jackson song?
01:17Ooh, I would say that Thriller is one of them, because they were dancing in, what is the
01:28name of the movie, like, Turning 13 from 30?
01:34Yes, yeah, that one.
01:35Oh my God, that was my favorite movie with my mom when I was like 14, 15, and they were
01:40dancing this dance, and it was so cool.
01:42So I'll go for a Thriller.
01:45That's one of the favorites.
01:47Did you see what Moise Kwame did today, and what do you think about his performances at 17?
01:55Moise Kwame.
02:00Moise Kwame won in five sets at 17, on the Long Lane, on the first match of the day.
02:07Oh, yeah, the French guy, the young French guy, yes, that's it.
02:11So cool, I was cheering for him, I got to speak with him, like, for a few minutes, because
02:17we were staying in the same hotel, I believe, we did activity for raffles, so I got to speak,
02:22very nice guy, and I wish him the best, and I really, I really hope he can really break
02:27through in this tournament, and he was playing really great tennis, I was really, that tie
02:32break, I was full on cheering for him, so happy he closed it.
02:37Next question, here and here, yep.
02:43Congratulations, you're a social media star, someone who inspires a lot of young women.
02:49I'm wondering how you manage this group of men around you, and how do you, and how do
02:58you handle it that nobody interferes in the job of the other one?
03:05I think we have to ask them, how do they handle me?
03:11Because I'm so lucky to have them, and it's always a fun time, they work together, they,
03:19I don't know, it feels like they are there just for me, and they're going to do everything
03:24that I need, and to have their support, to have all of them behind my back, it's amazing,
03:32I don't have to handle anything, it's only fun time, and it's, those men's are my biggest
03:37support, so I think it's, we really have to ask them how do they can handle me, because
03:44that's tricky, that's another, that's another question, right guys?
03:48Is it fun?
03:49Stressful.
03:50Mm.
03:51Right.
03:53We're going to talk later.
04:05Irina, next up is Dasha Kasapkina, I think you've played her nine or ten times, you've
04:12got the advantage, but what do you think going into this one, and especially with all the talk
04:17on the conditions and how hot it is, and so what do you think?
04:23Yeah, I don't even remember the score head to head, she's amazing, it's always challenging
04:28playing her, and I never look into the previous matches, going into the match against her,
04:33because it always can be tricky, she's a fighter, she's putting all of the balls back, you have
04:38to really work for each point, especially on the clay court, so it's another tough match,
04:43but I'm ready to fight, I'm ready to, you know, face every condition possible, so I'm just super
04:53excited to face her, and I'm ready to bring the fight.
04:58Irina, congrats, I'm sure you were following the Yannick's game, because, yeah, it was on
05:03the court, and it was, like, affecting your schedule ahead of the game, just, can you describe
05:11how it was, and, yeah, what were your feelings when it was, like, almost closed, and you're
05:17almost, like, I felt so, so bad for him, I always cheer for Yannick, and, yeah, to see
05:24him struggle like that, that was really painful to see, and I was really, till the very last
05:28moment, I was hoping for him to win, I wasn't really, like, thinking about my schedule, I knew
05:33that, I mean, if I start later, it's okay for me, so I was just, like, worried that he's not
05:39going to close the match, and I'm sad for him, but I'm pretty sure that he's going to come
05:43back even stronger, time, I guess, to do some recovery, some rest, and be ready for grass
05:50court for him, but sad to see him leaving that early.
05:55Hi, Irina, congratulations on the match, I wanted to ask about the first and the second
05:59sets when you were serving for the sets, at 5-4, and then at 5-1, you got broken both
06:06times, like, did you feel like a momentum shift, and how did you pull yourself back together to
06:10win those sets, thank you. I don't think I got broken at 5-4, no, I don't even remember,
06:18I mean, it's a clear court, anything can happen, and, you know, surf is not that big of advantage
06:23as it on hard court or grass court, so I was mentally ready for that, and I was ready to,
06:29you know,
06:30fight for every point, and, like, really, it wasn't, I don't know, didn't upset me in any way,
06:37I was ready to fight. Thank you, guys.
