Oh, my God. Oh, that's a great question.
Yes, it's true.
Usually when I go to the match,
I just think of how bad I want to win.
You know, I do it for the little girl
that was always dreaming to be playing on the big tournaments
and the big stages.
And I think I'm trying to remind myself that I do it for myself,
for that little girl, for my team as well.
And that brings me so much motivation.
And it's just easier to play when I remember that.
Yeah, Rome is my favorite because it's in Italy,
because the fans are amazing
and because I played good last year.
My favorite city?
Probably London, Paris.
I used to live in London and in Paris, you know, it's where I met Gael.
And yeah, just nice cities to spend time in.
Honestly, any woodwork.
I'm not picky with that stuff.
You know, whatever Grand Slam comes first, I'll be happy with that.
Oh, well, it takes a village,
takes lots of, you know, planning,
planning with Gael, with our moms.
And, you know, it's all, you know, big chaos, but, you know, a beautiful one.
It's amazing to have our daughter with us.
And of course, you know, when we are coming back home,
it's such a precious moment that we share together.
It's great. I think she really can help me.
And I think love has helped me a lot.
And I think tactically, she's really good since she's been a player.
So she understands what's happening, you know, in the court.
Lilac. It's not always easy, but, you know,
trying to focus on what I have to do and trying to relax
and enjoying those tough moments as well.
I would say this is actually a pretty...
I'm not going to joke about that
because we travel so much.
I would never think that, you know, just a basic
couple of days with my family at home
would bring me so much joy and so much happiness.
And that's what I'm looking forward to after every tournament
that finishes, I come home and spend a couple of evenings
with my family, having dinners, talk.
And that's what kind of reloads my battery.
I train...
It depends. It depends on which stage
we are before the tournament, you know, if it's just a training block.
But probably two hours a day, I would say this is a minimum.
I'm not always happy, guys.
I'm not. I'm trying to, you know, I'm trying to find the positive things
and remember that I'm a lucky person.
And sometimes also to force myself to smile and to be positive.
He's care. I feel like he is a very loving person
and tries to do, you know, and organize, you know, all this like comfort
for me, for Sky.
And yeah, it's just, you know, this something very comforting.
OK, so I would say now I'm kind of into Formula One.
I'm exploring new sports.
And obviously there is a TV series on Netflix that I'm watching.
I have a couple, I would say Kobe Bryant, obviously a legend.
And I really like my fitness coach is like a huge fan of Max Verstappen.
So I also like the way he drives.
Lewis Hamilton is also great.
And let's go with LeBron James for people.
My fitness coach is not going to like this answer,
but I think I'm going to go with Lewis Hamilton.
I feel great, of course, but it comes with a lot of responsibility.
But I love it.
You know, it's for me a really big mission, you know, to to be,
you know, one of the stars in Ukraine and promote sport worldwide
and promote, you know, sport in Ukraine and, you know,
try to give young generation opportunity to enjoy not only tennis,
but also other sports.
And of course, it's it's great, I think, for for younger generation
also to see that it is possible
for for you to to become a worldwide sports star.
I'm not, guys.
I don't know.
My parents have the medal.
Yeah, maybe when I come back
home or maybe when they visit me,
I'm going to ask them to bring it because it's a long time.
I don't see the medal.
My tennis inspiration is probably,
you know, like fans.
They really inspired me to to come back,
you know, to to play well, to to perform again at the highest level.
I think it's, you know, the fans that create,
you know, this special vibe, you know, to to work hard.
Like inside out forehand.
My favorite shot is backhand down the line.
I used to to love it since I was little.
It's just, yeah, something that's very comes very natural to me.
And I try to use it as much as possible.
It's not always like that, guys.
I don't know. I don't understand.
Sometimes, you know, they are good.
Sometimes they are so bad.
I don't know why.
I don't have a routine.
I just put some conditioner, some mousse and finger crossed.
I think firstly, of course, enjoy, enjoy your
trainings because it will take a little bit of time to,
you know, to to learn different
aspects of tennis.
But it's important, you know, to to find,
you know, people that with who you can play and really, you know, enjoy your time.
So, yeah, I think be patient and try to find,
you know, people who who can go with you, who can be on this journey together.
Let's start.
I cannot choose a gold medal,
Rome title and
the semifinal one in Wimbledon.
I think it's just that because we're pretty much the same person,
I would say we have same interests.
We have the same vibe going around.
She likes to joke around.
I like to joke around.
But we both know when it's time to get serious and when it's time to get to work.
And I think that's why it works so great.
And that's why we have good relationship.
And yeah, I think it's just because we're pretty much the same person.
I think to feel lucky.
I think, you know, my lucky person.
And I have to remember that even in the tough moments,
there's no nothing to complain about my life.
So I have to remember that every time things are a bit more tougher.
I think my family, they motivate me to continue.
They motivate me with goals,
with their support as well.
I think it's the moments where really we unite together.
Win or lose.
It's it's all about, you know, journey, you know, overcoming
and coming together, then pushing again and trying to to win next time.
I think going around and stay with my friends.
Have a nice dinner and playing some, you know, different games,
hard tennis and like, I don't know, small games or everything
that we can compete also with my team.
Thank you, everyone, for your questions.
I can't wait for the next time.
