05:58As well to get the very last spin of the tournament
06:03Mira, obviously you're still so young
06:05But you were at this stage for the first time
06:08Two years ago
06:09I just wonder, does this feel like
06:11It's arrived very early in your career
06:13Or not?
06:15Well, I feel like two years ago
06:17Obviously when I was playing semi-finals
06:19I was very excited
06:21And I would say that I didn't believe
06:24That, you know, oh my god
06:25I'm playing in semi-finals
06:26And I feel like because I had that disbelief
06:29That I can actually go on and win more matches
06:32Also kind of, I don't know
06:36Interfered with how I played in the semis
06:38But also I would say that
06:39That year Jasmine just killed me on the court
06:41I didn't think that I had a lot of chances in that match
06:46But now I feel like, you know, I'm getting closer
06:49I'm getting older, a little bit more
06:52Mature every match that I play
06:54A little bit more experience
06:55So I think that now
06:57I'm able to approach every match differently
07:00And try to really focus on the opponent
07:04That I'm going to play against
07:05And the game plan that I'm going to have to use on the court
07:08Hi Mira, congratulations
07:10Just to take you back to the match
07:12Obviously it was very windy out there today
07:15Marta seemed to be struggling with that quite a bit
07:17You dealt with it really well
07:18I just wondered how you felt when the roof started closing in the second set
07:24And if you did have feelings about it
07:26Whether that might have been something that would have derailed you earlier in your career
07:31But didn't today
07:33Yeah, I felt like the conditions obviously were tough for both of us
07:38It was, I don't know, very unpredictable
07:41Because, you know, with the wind I felt like it was going in both directions
07:46I didn't feel, you know, okay
07:48If I'm playing on this side, the wind is going that way
07:50I felt like it was constantly changing
07:52And maybe that's why it was hard for her and for me as well
07:56But after when the Empire told me that they're going to close the roof
08:00Because they're expecting a big shower, like raining
08:03I was like, oh, that's an amazing moment
08:05You know, I was 4-1 up
08:07I was like, well
08:09And then I just told myself, okay
08:11I guess it's better to have the roof closed
08:16Rather than, you know, stop the match because of the rain
08:19But I felt like it was not the best moment for me
08:22But, yeah, I just told myself, okay, they know better
08:24They decided to close the roof
08:26Okay, that's fine
08:27And obviously I lost those two games after
08:29But, you know, I just tried to stay focused
08:31And not think about what happened
08:33And really focused on every point that I'm about to play
08:35Can you imagine that might have played out differently before?
08:40Maybe
08:40I think that something different could have happened before
08:45If I would lose two games in a row like this
08:47You know, losing my serve to zero
08:50And maybe something different would have happened
08:53But this time I just told myself, okay
08:57She's also have to serve to confirm the break
09:00So I felt that it was also a little bit of extra pressure for her
09:05So I just told myself, okay
09:06Forget what happened
09:07Play the next point and that's it
09:10Hi, Mary, well done
09:11Obviously, if you play Diana, it could be an all-Russian final
09:13There's been a lot of comments from Ukrainian players
09:16During this tournament and elsewhere
09:17How do you find that additional scrutiny on you
09:20Because of your nationality?
09:21Well, when I play, I really try not to read anything
09:25Not to watch anything
09:27Not to listen to anything
09:28When I play the tournament
09:30You know, you maybe don't know
09:32But we're so
09:34We're very busy with what we do
09:37And every day is like
09:38Super, super busy with
09:40You know, the practicing warm-ups
09:42Recovery, cool-down
09:43By the time I get to the hotel
09:45Treatment
09:45And then it's like 7 p.m.
09:47So all I'm trying to focus on is
09:50You know, playing my match
09:53Doing my routine
09:54And that's it
09:55And that's all I do when I play the tournament
09:59Hi, Mira
09:59Could you now describe the challenge of
10:01Potentially facing Maja Svalinska
10:03Who I think you never met on tour
10:06Yeah, I've never played against her
10:08And, you know, obviously she's been playing amazing
10:11These two weeks
10:13Like three weeks for her, right?
10:15Because she passed through quali
10:17So, I mean, she's been playing unbelievable
10:18So, obviously, whoever wins
10:21I mean, if she wins this match
10:22It's going to be, as I said
10:24Very entertaining
10:25Very interesting as well
10:26Because, obviously, I've never played against her
10:28It's going to be a new match for both of us
10:31And I don't really know how she plays
10:34I don't really know her game style
10:35So, you know, we'll see
10:38Whoever wins this match
10:39Then we'll just try to prepare for the final
10:41The best we can
10:44If someone had said to you two weeks ago
10:46That you would be in the final
10:48Of the French Open
10:50What would you have said?
10:51I mean, because you weren't
10:53Perhaps considered amongst the favourites
10:55But did you deep down
10:57Within yourself believe that you could get to the final?
11:00Well, I would say that before the tournament started
11:03Obviously, I was like
11:04Well, that would be great if I get to the final
11:06But I was
11:07I don't know
11:08I was not really
11:09Kind of focused on that
11:10In the beginning of the tournament
11:13I felt like this week in particular
11:15I was just really trying to
11:17Win every match that I was playing
11:19I tried to focus on
11:21Every match that I was playing
11:23You know
11:24Doing everything I can
11:27But, yeah
11:28I would probably say
11:29Well, that would be great
11:30But I don't know if that would happen
11:31You know, me being in the finals
11:32So, if you would tell me that
11:35In the beginning of the tournament
11:36I would be like
11:37Okay
11:37Well, I don't mind
11:39But maybe I wouldn't really believe it
11:42Hi, Mira
11:43When you start tennis in Siberia
11:46Were you thinking at the time
11:47When you were playing your first ball
11:49I can be on the Grand Slam final
11:51I can win a Grand Slam terminal?
11:53Well, I never actually thought
11:57That I, you know
11:58Would be able to win
12:02I don't know
12:02Big tournaments
12:03Or be in the Grand Slam finals
12:04It was just all my dreams
12:06All, you know
12:08Everything that I've been dreaming of
12:09And I would say that this is
12:11I don't know how
12:13Other tennis players think about it
12:15But for me personally
12:17It's like the
12:17Number one goal in my life
12:19You know
12:20The most important thing
12:21The number one dream
12:23And, you know
12:25I would not think
12:26That I would be very close to that
12:28But now, you know
12:30I am
12:31So, it's kind of
12:33I'm very excited
12:34Very happy about it
12:35But at that time
12:36I wouldn't think
12:38That it would happen
12:40Hey, Mira
12:40Congrats
12:42I mean, during today
12:43You've been talking a lot
12:44About how you've learned
12:46From previous experiences
12:47And things that have happened
12:48Over the past few years
12:49In your career
12:49I'm curious
12:50How experienced
12:51Do you feel
12:52In general
12:53As others have said
12:54You're still young
12:55But it seems like
12:56You have a lot to draw upon
12:57You know
12:58In terms of the matches
12:59You've played
12:59And won and lost
13:01Yeah
13:02I'm so sorry
13:03I didn't listen to your question
13:04At all
13:04I'm so sorry
13:06I'm curious
13:07Just how experienced
13:08Do you feel
13:09In general
13:10Because obviously
13:11You have a lot to draw upon
13:12Even though you're so young
13:13And secondly
13:14I'll ask the second question
13:15Do you have the crystal paintings
13:16With you here
13:18Well, I'm going to ask
13:19The second question
13:20I finished my painting
13:21So I was supposed to do
13:24Our dog, Ressi
13:25So I finished it
13:26Now I don't know
13:27What I'm going to do
13:27I'm going to have to figure
13:29Something out
13:30You know
13:31What to do with my free time
13:33But, you know
13:33About feeling more experienced
13:35I would say that
13:36I kind of feel
13:38A little bit more experienced
13:40But, you know
13:41At the same time
13:42I feel like there's
13:43A lot of experience
13:44That I can gain
13:45From a lot of different matches
13:46A lot of different wins
13:47And losses as well
13:49But I definitely feel
13:51More experienced
13:52Comparing to last year
13:54Hi, Mira
13:55Congrats
13:55I don't see you
13:57Where are you?
13:58Okay, sorry
13:59You will play
14:00Your first final
14:01Grand Slam in Paris
14:02Could you explain
14:03What are your links
14:04With France
14:04And what you like the most
14:06About France?
14:08Yeah
14:08Well, first of all
14:10If we talk about
14:10This tournament
14:12I love the atmosphere
14:14The clay courts
14:15The food as well
14:16I also like that
14:18You know
14:18Every time we come here
14:20There are the same people
14:21That are working here
14:22And it kind of feels
14:23A little bit more cozy
14:25Because obviously
14:26You know
14:27Almost everyone
14:28That works here
14:29And it makes
14:29The tournament
14:30And makes the time
14:31That I spend here
14:33More comfortable
14:34And I don't know
14:36I just really like
14:37To walk around the city
14:38To go into
14:40You know
14:40Those little restaurants
14:41On the street
14:43I also speak
14:43A little bit of French
14:44So I try to
14:45Sometimes talk to people
14:47In France
14:47In French
14:49So
14:50I don't know
14:51Just a lot of
14:52Different little things
14:54Hi, Mira
14:55Congratulations
14:55You just said
14:57You could see
14:58The individual hairs
14:59On the ball today
15:00Could you just expand
15:02A bit on like
15:03That visualization
15:04Technique
15:05Is it something
15:05That you work on
15:06Off the courts
15:08And if so
15:08Why and how it helps you
15:10Thank you
15:11Yeah
15:11Well obviously
15:13We've been trying
15:14To work on
15:14You know
15:15Me being more calm
15:16More positive
15:18Very focused
15:19And I feel like
15:21You know
15:22Recently
15:22I've been trying
15:23You know
15:24To do a lot of
15:25Different stuff
15:26And maybe now
15:27I found
15:29What's been working
15:29Very well for me
15:30And I'm really trying
15:31To stick to that
15:32And you know
15:34Do it every match
15:35That I play
15:36Every time
15:37And I don't know
15:38I feel like so far
15:39It's been working
15:39Very well
15:40As I said
15:40I was so focused
15:41That I could see
15:42Those hairs on the ball
15:44But you know
15:45One thing is
15:46When you see
15:47The hairs on the ball
15:48For I don't know
15:49A couple of points
15:50And the other thing
15:50When you're able
15:51To do it
15:51Throughout the whole match
15:52And I felt like
15:53Today was
15:53You know
15:54One of those matches
15:55Where I was
15:56Focused throughout
15:57The whole time
15:59So I'm super happy
16:00To see the result
16:01And you know
16:02The work that we've been doing
16:05Paying off
16:07I'm super happy
16:08I'm super happy
16:08I'm super happy
16:08I'm super happy
16:09I'm super happy
16:09I'm super happy
16:09I'm super happy
