00:00 She achieved incredible results here at Belangoroz.
00:04 I take it as a challenge and I like to accept tough challenges.
00:10 Honestly, I don't think either I or Arina are focusing on that.
00:13 We're more focusing on our own journeys.
00:17 I think that's amazing, the rivalry we're having with Iga and I would mention Jelena as well.
00:27 So many girls are doing well, like Koko.
00:31 It's not like only two of us.
00:33 She definitely motivates me a lot to get better.
00:38 I think I improved so many things just because of her.
00:41 She pointed out the things I wasn't good at and motivated me to get better at.
00:49 For sure, when we play against each other, I feel like it's a challenge.
00:52 It's also pushing me to become a better player.
00:55 I think we both need each other to grow.
01:00 But for sure, this rivalry is exciting for the fans as well.
01:05 So, I guess if it's going to go to history books, they're also going to have some impact on it.
01:10 I think it's just amazing what we're doing.
01:12 I really hope we can keep doing the same or even better.
01:18 Meaning meeting in the last stages of the tournament.
01:21 So, bring that consistency in the game and maybe a higher level matches.
01:31 On a higher level, maybe it's going to be more interesting for people to watch.
01:36 I think Iga feels at home there.
01:38 She loves it.
01:39 She feels like, "Okay, how is anyone going to beat me?"
01:42 I just put my tennis there and she brings it every single day.
01:45 She plays aggressively and doesn't leave anything to doubt.
01:48 So, I think tough to go past Iga.
01:51 But if anyone could potentially do it, I think it's Sabalenka.
01:54 (upbeat music)
