00:12 [SPEAKING ITALIAN]

00:25 [CHEERING]

00:27 Very stressful, the first two sets.

00:29 At the start, we were like, oh, maybe we're not

00:30 going to win this.

00:31 When he started the first set, it was like, am I dreaming?

00:35 So it really completely changed the game.

00:37 And then after the fourth set, we think, OK, now that's it.

00:41 I think in the third set, you could

00:43 see that he'd locked in a little bit more.

00:45 And then we rode the wave, and then he got it in the fourth.

00:48 And then in the fifth, he had that break, and I was like,

00:50 Yannick's got this.

00:51 It was absolutely spectacular.

00:53 I mean, who would have thought that he

00:55 would come back like this?

00:56 Just basically like being on a Rocky movie.

00:59 It's loud when you want it, I can tell you that.

01:01 We were screaming.

01:03 Not even words.

01:04 Not even words, yeah.

01:05 And you know, for us, Italians, we are so proud.

01:08 He's the first Italian winning the Australian Olympics.

01:10 We were cheering for Medvedev, and the match was incredible.

01:14 Both of the players played so well.

01:16 And of course, we wanted Medvedev to win.

01:19 Not this year.

01:20 Hopefully next year.

01:21 And Yannick's, he's incredible.

01:22 Both of them are incredible athletes.

01:25 He plays super well.

01:26 I think he's always respectful to the ball kids

01:29 and the other players.

01:30 So yeah, we're just super happy for him.

01:33 Every Grand Slam is his this year.

01:36 Definitely more Grand Slam wins.

01:38 I'm riding the wave.
