00:00Hello, Carolina. How are you?
00:02How are you?
00:03How are you?
00:04I'm very happy to be here in casa.
00:05We are here in your city,
00:07the last tournament for you here in Málaga
00:10after nine years as number one in the world,
00:13so many things you have achieved in 30 years of career.
00:16I would love to make you a recap of your career
00:19and that you also teach me Málaga.
00:20Of course, I'm happy to be here.
00:22Let's go.
00:23My base is in Madrid, I live in Majadahonda,
00:25but I have all my family here in Málaga
00:27and whenever I can, I escape,
00:30because at the end, I have a lot of energy,
00:32I have a family, I have to be here in my land.
00:34You grew up here.
00:35Yes, I grew up here.
00:36You started tennis with seven years
00:38and then you started tennis much later,
00:41you had 19 or so.
00:4318 or so.
00:4418 or so, 17 or 18.
00:46A friend of mine told me that I started tennis
00:48and I started playing here,
00:50a little bit with my sisters,
00:52tournaments here on the Coast of the Sun.
00:54Just then, I started to do better.
00:58I called Maria Silvela to go to Madrid
01:02and play with her,
01:03who was the number one in Spain at the moment.
01:06I went there,
01:07gave me the bec,
01:08I started with Maria.
01:09And it was all rolled out.
01:11It was all rolled out.
01:12Well, Carolina,
01:13aparte that this city is so cool,
01:15it is very good in Málaga.
01:17Yes, we are here in El Pimpi,
01:19which is a very characteristic place to eat.
01:21And they also have a photo of mine in there,
01:23which I will show you.
01:24Well, let's go.
01:25Let's go.
01:26Let's go.
01:29Tell me a little bit.
01:30Here is everyone.
01:32Yes, you are.
01:33In the center.
01:34Here I am surrounded,
01:35it was when I got the championship
01:36of the world,
01:37I got the photo,
01:38I got the photo,
01:39and I was with Paula Alboral,
01:41Rafa Nadal,
01:42Lolita,
01:43and there are a lot of people
01:44who are very well known.
01:45The best advice
01:46that they have given you
01:47to be number one
01:48in the world
01:49for nine years,
01:50apart from all the other things
01:51that you have achieved,
01:52I imagine you would have
01:55a phrase
01:56that you repeat a lot.
01:57Look, a phrase
01:58that I repeat a lot
01:59during my career,
02:02when I have won a good match
02:03or when I have lost
02:04and I have been wrong,
02:05is that
02:06when you win,
02:07you are the best,
02:08you are the best,
02:09and when you lose,
02:10you are the worst.
02:11So I think
02:12you have to do it
02:15when you are number one,
02:17you have to keep your body
02:18and when you are low,
02:19always at the same level
02:20and not you're on the same line
02:21and not you are on top
02:22and down,
02:23that's fundamental.
02:24Carolina,
02:25thank you for having us
02:26all of our day,
02:27but I think
02:28I have the best way
02:29to finish this interview
02:30is to eat
02:31what more typical of Malaga.
02:32You can teach
02:33the malagueis
02:34that's a good steak
02:35Well,
02:36the malagueis is typical
02:37here in Malaga
02:38is typical
02:39in Malaga
02:40we have all the better
02:41and then the avocado and the mango are typical of Málaga, we are also the best.
02:48That Málaga has all of us.
02:51What is your favorite favorite?
02:52Huevos fritos con patatas.
02:53Huevos fritos con patatas.
02:55But I can't take it so much.
02:56Who wants to compete until 49 years old, you know that you have to eat huevos fritos con patatas.
03:00No, no, I can't eat so much, I would like to eat.
03:03I know you have a way to enjoy your time, your free time, your free time,
03:07which is doing skate rooms.
03:10I am fanatic of the skate rooms, it is a hobby that I have, I have more than 150,
03:15but it is really not a défil and it is something that I love, I really enjoy it.
03:21How have you lived the support of your parents to be able to get to where you are?
03:26Well, the reality is that my parents, at the end,
03:30me met in the world of sports, I wanted to do sports,
03:33and they have always accompanied me, since I play tennis and when I play padel,
03:38all the tournaments have been able to, now they are young and can't,
03:41and yes, they do it when I play games close.
03:43But, well, I have always supported me.
03:45And what I always say now, when I watch tournaments of menores,
03:49is that my parents are very much in the career of children,
03:53to give them indications as if they were the coach.
03:55My parents never told me anything about what I had to do in the field,
04:01because they know that I have a coach that they tell me,
04:03and they only have been able to support me and always be there.
04:06And the truth is that they have always been able to support me,
04:09and we are a family very united, so I am happy to be able to have them.
04:15I am still at 1049.
04:16Last question, how do you see this post career professional in the padel?
04:23You are already with many things in the head.
04:25Yes, the truth is that I have to organize myself a little,
04:28because I have a lot of proposals and things to do,
04:31so I see myself well, I have to organize myself,
04:35but I am very motivated and with many ganas, the truth.
04:37Well, thank you, Carolina, for this great morning that we have spent together.
