00:00Obviously our tennis changed since Miami 2022 and also our position as well a little bit.

00:11But I don't think it matters on court.

00:13I'll prepare us before any other match but for sure nowadays in women's draw you can play Grand Slam champions early in the tournament.

00:20It is pretty tricky because these players are really experienced.

00:24They also achieved many great things.

00:27So they have bigger kind of belief I would say as well.

00:30So for sure it's not going to be easy and we'll prepare tactically and I'll know more tomorrow when we do that.

00:35She's a great person and her game style is pretty fun to watch as well.

00:38So I haven't actually played against Naomi obviously on clay.

00:41So we'll see how that's going to go.

00:43So we need to prepare tactically for sure.

00:46But all these matches that we played on hardcourt were always really intense and tough.

00:49So I'm just glad that she came back and she's playing more tournaments even than before the break.

00:54And yeah, happy that she's playing well as well.
