Trigger, Anna, well, I starred in one once. series, took 13 or 14 days of filming. It was very impressive. I I prepared, went to acting classes mastery. It's good that I was already doing it. speech. This helped me. Well, actually, The filming was probably more memorable in total, I rode it 25 times roller coaster overnight in a closed amusement park. And it was like this in the morning myself, so-so state, because I I never seemed to sleep through the night. That you don't sleep in the morning when people came to the water park, oh, to the water park, in amusement park, that's right, I was still awake. Well, we checked the vestibular system, it's fine.

Do you have your own ruler? clothes together with Bosco. Tell us about this. How did this even happen? collaboration? How did you decide that you will you become a designer? I honestly didn't plan to become designer. It was just so complicated I'm going through some kind of transitional period. Me too I wanted to create something cool sportswear. I created, I created something, went to the workshop, and, I went to different tailors and looked into it everything. And in the end I had 27 names of everything that I I made it up. They showed me the estimate. I I say: "Oh, it's okay." And when they showed the final estimate, it was already then It's a bit scary. But I met Mikhail Ernestovich in Gum somehow and something happened to him showed. He says, "So let's do it. together." Accordingly, he invited me to the factory in Kaluga, to a very beautiful one factory. Mikhail Anastoevich does everything with with a huge soul. And I showed him, he I was a little surprised by the color palette, because if you know, bosca is dark navy blue and bright colors. A On the contrary, my palette was like this powdery and there was a black color that I I love you very much. But, uh, Miharnestovich made me love navy blue like you understand. I'm already in it today. A, Well, accordingly, there were already two capsule lines and we're preparing them now third of the next season. This is very Interesting. Every year it's a new experience, interesting events. Listen, well, it turned out for real. Very beautiful. Personally, I really like it I liked it. And here, ah, you can see photos. I did it in your clothes photo session. By the way, you even got me reposted on social networks. Very nice. I see and understand now. It just didn't click in my head. [laughter] Very nice. Thank you. It's very nice to meet you again. Well, expect another bag of gifts for New Year's. year from [laughter] Svetlana Kuznetsova. Fine. Ah, listen, just recently, Continuing with the movie theme, Will Smith, he's already played the role of Williams' sister's father, but he he recently said that he could play Yanik Siner. [laughter] Here is a photo on your screens. Of course, such an unexpected decision, Why did he choose the role of Yanik? represents. But what's interesting about you is find out which of the actors could play you play like tennis players in a movie or in TV series. Here you can do it yourself imagine such a person? I don't even know. I don't even understand at all, what could be the scenario and what a topic that is related to my person. Well, Olympic gold. Evgeniy, what? topic? Domestic or foreign? Well, here it's up to you. Come on, come on, let it go, come on, let it go girls They will conduct, yes, they will conduct analogies, and I, and I I'll tell you which of the girls could play them. You're doing it normally. Oh, come on then, tell me if you know. I It's just that, well, I'm not that complicated character, anyone can play me. First of all, you need some kind of, definitely a blonde. This is sa foreign or foreign, who to call Now? Okay, think about it. We still [laughter] How many more broadcasts do we have to do? Listen, well, I don't know, but there should be should be beautiful, tall with long hair hair. Evgeny, are you telling the truth? [laughter] Well, give me some tattoo. Who maybe Svetlana Khochenkova? No, Svetka with pleasure. Sort of a type, yeah, that'll do. Yes, yes, yes, yes. She is a very, very good actress. AND if there, if if you wanted to be Has anyone played it, so it's perfect. option. I definitely don't want to. Come on, let's think about it. about Sveta. Light, I think you remember the movie about energy Million Dollar Baby? There's some girl there She was a boxer. I'm not sure if we They are similar, but I think the theme is boxing. just comes together. Why? Well, the topic of boxing sports is there all the time. I fought and something like that happened. What? She is the same one who won an Oscar. I forgot, what's her name? A For some reason I have an association with Margo Robbie. ABOUT, By the way, it happens, yes, that The type is very similar in comparison. I know, Yes, maybe he can play you too. Margas definitely, if he wants to. Sometimes they compare me, they say that we similar to Stefigraf. I don't know, I Somehow it doesn't seem so, Ilena. Not really, Well, that's a good analogy, I think. No, not [laughter] It doesn't look like it in appearance or in the game. Is this bad or good? For the better, I mean [laughter]. Hillary Swong. This is the actress I'm talking about You said million dollar baby. Yes. Hillaring. Continuing with the theme of fashion and style, let's Let's talk about Carlos Alcaraz's style. We will generally discuss tennis in general, Certainly. Here we are [laughter] moving on smoothly Let's move on to Carlos, our main one, the most stylish guy currently on tour. How do you like his blond look? What do you say? Here they are discussing the fact that for some reason on the new ones The posters don't show him in the new one. image. All with dark hair, and he already long time blondie. Well, I think he's going to change his color now. after the defeat in Paris. Yeah, it was just, you know, like good luck I'll dye my hair blonde, but now It can be changed. Everyone, any person is ready for experiments, and he has been there for 23 years, Why not? I was ready for the experiment, when I was there how old was I 33-34. I also dyed my hair one year the same white color. And that's a lot, By the way, there are photos on the Internet. She was also such a fool. Why not? Well, Do you know who is the most important? the experimenter among the four of us? Svetlana Kuznetsova, who circumcised cut your hair right during the final tournament in 2016. Yes, I missed it. third set. No, I remember. Fine, We remember that. I watched that match. Uh, Now tell me what it was. We all We really want to know how it works happened. Where did you even get scissors? Yes Well, I mean, she asked for physio. Did you also call a physiotherapist for this? No, I just have injuries. Story next. The story is as follows. We all fought to get to the final eight. And I played for two or three weeks in China, then I flew back and played semi-final in China at the last tournament, flew to Moscow to play the Kremlin Cup. The only chance was to get on the final eight is to win the Cup Kremlin. A, Well, of course, there are games there every day. I I win on Saturday and fly at night. to the final eight of the masters and I arrive, there is no time to get a haircut, and In Moscow they braided my hair and, Accordingly, the hair was shorter. I'm from I play Radwanska, I boom-boom boom-boom in eye this tail. And I kind of like Radwanska It was comfortable to play. I think: "Well, no It's okay that I'm losing 4:1." I I say: "Well, either victory is here, or I'll shorten my hair a little." And, Actually, I asked, I requested hair. It was so funny when they brought them to me tray. And bam, I cut it off. Me, By the way, Urgant was later criticized for this They called. Vanya and I are there too. They competed to see who could cut the best braid. [laughter] And what? And judging by everything, it helped you By the way, the plot of the trigger, actually, filmed about this too. Yes, they really played it out there. There I cut my hair again and won, I won the match, I fought back, I won. AND then many evil tongues said that I I did this as a marketing ploy. Elena, what is your opinion? what's up in our heads during the match, [laughter] that what's going on there, it's even impossible even. When talking about marketing ploys, I I'll tell you a story. Thirty years old statute of limitations. I'm going to the finals of Ralongorodets ninety-sixth year. Then my manager comes up to me, says: "You know, there is such an interesting Here's an offer from the company. Malbara. You take a sealed pack of cigarettes, So and at the crossing, when all the cameras are pointed at you, you you take it, open it, take out a cigarette, lighter and light a cigarette. This is the kind of offer they wanted to make me for give 300,000 dollars, but I refused. At that time it was a lot, Right? So many. Yes. Yes. And then it was possible to advertise it? I don't remember. Well, probably if we played, yes, I played this year in In the year ninety-six in the month of October I I also played a show in Hong Kong. he was also malbaran. Cigarettes then with reels it was possible it was possible. And how are you? then do you think it's the most popular now? tennis fans have a question, here's Arina Sabalenka has a contract with Moi Chandom that she came out on press conference with champagne when did she win the US Open? No, it's just my mood. Well no I know, but it's just interesting reflect on carpets when in It's the same in Australia. I won in ninety-nine and Doping tests are mandatory after the tournament. I had to do it, but I couldn't. And it's worth it Heiniken with advertising. Here you open Banks, please, drink and that's it. And on I also have a press conference. Well, now girls more and more often come to press conferences. Pegula with alcohol. Nastya, Nastya Pavlyuchenko with They're sitting around drinking beer. Nastya in a hat and beer. And how could I just not It seems that we should do this. You mean to say that in reality there is less and less fewer healthy lifestyle followers? [laughter] They, mind you, have already played it out, understand? It's like something else generation, they don't seem to care. Here I am I didn't think for a long time about taking it from take a camera with you and record some kind of vlog, just tell, show from the inside, tell your feelings. Well, who am I telling this to? shall I show you? I can't do this publicly. put out. Why can't you tell us? You are the only one for you, I am with you. Well that would be exploded. I still wanted it back then. Well, sort of You think it's distracting you, then Do you think your opponents will know what it's all about? the problem is when will i release this when I'll release it, it will no longer be relevant. And now The guys write it down and spend a ton on it. time and it seems like there is nothing to worry about. I I'm not sure it doesn't harm them results, but nevertheless different generation. I don’t see Siner, for example, doing it This. Alcaraz is so-so. Well, because Siner and Alcaraz, they directly opposite in, it seems to me, according to one's drive and mentality. Sinner is like that, it seems to me, like that narrowly focused, with blinders, yes, with my own tasks. Alcaraz is more like a guy shirt, he can go there calmly, there chat with his opponents in the locker room. To me It seems that Siner can't do this admit. Calmly not forced to do during the match. Well, let's discuss it some more. You know, like this combine such hard training, performances, to be well on endless, yes, on endless self-restraint and discipline and not being able to relax. This too You can go crazy like that. It seems they have just different character. I recently I was thinking about this topic. Just really strong It is harmonious to be quiet and calm. And this helps him in his career. Alcaruz he so fickle. Wait. Well, how harmoniously quiet you are, when he changes girls like gloves, then for him it's just the media. All, This apparently [laughter] is also very much to him helps. But why doesn't this interfere? No, I really hope it's not some kind of PR stunt for this, huh? He really does have interests there. Where? Where should a girl be besides tennis? there must be some interest, you know? There must be some interest. Actually, there are some for the girls. Well, he doesn't was seen neither at discos nor party, nothing. He still doesn't want to pay more than 11 for pasta pounds, having money, and washes his own Ferrari. Well, he's in a restaurant, he only eats one thing there. a certain pasta where you counted to 11 euros, and he doesn’t order any other pasta. Maybe he didn't love, maybe he loves carbonara and that's it. Balanesa is there. No. And he doesn't go to an expensive restaurant considers it necessary to pay for it, but he does not orders this. Well, in general, he is somehow very like that. economical for money. Is it good or bad? Well, I don't feel sorry for girls. Well we [laughter] are completely different now we're talking about something else. About the character Sinera helps him to be calm. A Ulrosa has a more explosive character. To him Hispanic. Southern Spaniard. Well, I don't know. There are Spaniards. Quiet. [laughter] Okay. Next is Rafa. What was it like? Rafa was calm, though. Spain. Not true. Not true. Rafa until 3:00 am could play PlayStation also beat, just like on a tennis court. I ate MMDMS chips and all the worst food. He didn't produce at all. and about girls. But you can't have everything. [laughter] Why tell? Once. You can here All. I think we're just going to tennis today we will not cross. Everythingeverything. Let's. Change of topic. Change of topic. Elena, thank you. Let's Let's talk about the final result anyway girls it's about to start. A, and, Actually, what's interesting is, huh, Sobolenko and Šwiętok will play for the fifth year in a row. AND in general, in principle, the composition It hasn't changed much for several years now. There are six out of eight people from the year They've been playing for a year final. Last year there were six. And at Who has the best chance of winning? Let's start with this right away. Helen, Well, we just have an argument here. Yes, we have such an interesting argument because that Zhenya thinks that the second group like the strongest, yes, here it is it turns out that we have a group called Sirena Williams, Right? Yes. And Sveta and I think, that the Stefigraf group is much stronger, then and since our opinions differed so much, accordingly, I believe that the composition equal. Well, I don't see any weaklings here, Honestly. Here, maybe, is Medicon Kiss. And we don't know what form it is in. will come because she missed the whole Asian series, yes, and in general it is very performs unstable, we don't know what expect from her. And everyone else themselves showed very well this season. Well, Iga is not performing very consistently yet, She has such emotional moments sometimes ups and downs, yeah, when she, uh, loses concentration and as if right now is not on the court, yes, can't do it collect. Well, in general, it seems to me, It turned out to be a very strong and equal line-up. I agree with Elena. Zhenya, it's not here. people who will be wearing something today support. We still have some left topics for debate. [laughter] The girls invited me to support them, which I would be happy to do. A as if you physically invited me, but forgive me, I will be on the girls' side, but nevertheless I will fight back against everyone. Iga hasn't been playing very well this season. Amanda super, and Elena, how did we do it recently? discussed, plays the latest tournaments Great. Yes, Kiss is still unclear. That does she also need a break-in, a break-in or whatever it is, whatever you want to call it. Well, it's not clear, it's a bit like Kinder surprise. And here are Arina, Coco, Jessica and Paulini. Paulini, who never makes a mistake and will run behind the court. AND the other three are all good girls are playing. Well, I think that's good. for Arina, since she is in the same group with Kokugaf - this is, in general, her main rival this season. And it says already about that, if they go out, they at least They won't play against each other in the semi-finals. friend. Well, then they will play in the final. Well, listen, It's better to meet the strongest one in the final than in the semi-finals, right? AND and so she will meet the strong one twice. Well, There are no weak people here. Let's. Actually, why am I like this? claimed that it seemed to me the second the group is much stronger. It's because of that, that firstly, Lena Rybakina is the last I think he plays for a month better than anyone else. those who are from this eight, because what about Arina after her opponent, I'm like that I understand, I haven't played a single tournament. Kokogal played the game, Yes, I lost on Pegula, I apologize. Yes, Paulini plays, but I don't count her player on a hard surface, on hardcore. She plays well on clay, yes, with her very sweeping blows. And I, frankly speaking, intuition tells me that she competition cannot be created. Why did you move from Rybakin to Pauline? Well, we just compare groups. Oh, yeah. As for Shventok Anisimova, Rybakina and Kis, well, Anisimova too I was impressed by the last one in In September and October, how she played. That She has absolutely her place She deserved to participate. She deserved it too Shwiontok. This is what I see on social media, She is training very hard now, already being in Aleriada there, and already more than a week, yes. And I'm sure that her motivation, it is very high precisely on this tournament. That's why I I'm afraid to predict who will come out of this groups to the semi-finals. That's where it is Sabalenko, Gauff, Pegula and Pauline. There Everything will be clear to me, Sabalenka. and Igauf. Now, as for if choose from three Anisimov's shwętki Rybakina, that's right, Kis is for everyone It's a mystery now. I don't know what she's in form, as it is in general, it will be e to play or not. We really hope that She won't play. And yet Mira Andreeva for all her suffering it will be counted, and she will play in singles discharge. She plays in pairs with Diana Schneider, but we hope that she will be in alone. That's why I'm afraid predict, uh, who will come out in semi-finalist from the Serena Williams group, Honestly. Here with the Steffigrav group I understand everything. Whether you agree or not, it's yours va already personally. John Isner, as far as I know, says, What does Amanda Anisimova have to do anyway? win this tournament. And for me I wonder if Arina Sobalenko has finally will win this tournament or not? Here in once again, yes, we can see on our screen, she still can't take this final one. This year she It's been a year since the first racket was established. Rafa Nadal also didn't win in his career not a single result. But he has a different story there. Everyone has this the same story. [laughter] Everyone has the same and the same story. From it This is the story of urine. Rafael hasn't won a final in 17 years, although I participated in all of them without exception. Well, I don't know, maybe he's the only one there. missed due to injuries, but he just played in the tournament not his. Well, he doesn't feel comfortable playing in the hall. And why do we think that Arina will be Is it comfortable to play in the hall? Well, I just I'm just thinking out loud right now. It seems to me that it is going along this line steadily season. Don't you think so? Nobody of this, here I am and this is even under I have no doubt that she plays better everyone. But another thing is that there are different ones a confluence of circumstances, different components that we cannot know, which do not allow us to achieve that the result that she wants, she wants there is a huge group of fans there in everything world. That's why No, well, it's obvious that she has a big one. motivation. She didn't win, she wants to win this trophy. She is in good shape. This season she She performed really well, and, won a Grand Slam tournament title. And I think that this year more than ever She has the best chances. Well, I just wish it were easier for her. group, but it turns out that she is the first the match can be played at what time? Well, at least it will immediately enter the game rhythm. You see, it's like here here the specifics of the tournament are such that you must be ready to play from the very beginning, because you will be put under pressure and put pressure on from the first match from the first gem. There are no weaklings here to play. This is not Grand Slam tournament where the bracket is 128. You played the first, second round, felt rhythm, found self-confidence. No, here you should already come and give it out your maximum. So I think that those, Who played even Asian ones now? series, one or two tournaments, I think that this will be an advantage because they, Yes, the same Rybakina, Anisimova and just Arina. And as for the Kiss disco, Yes, that is, of course, questionable. Well, We'll see. Listen, question, I'm sorry, Please, Anya. Ah, Len, that's what it is for What was the hardest thing for you in the finals? I I remember that I could never get used to the fact that you played and lost and tomorrow you have a chance. Well, as if us, when you lost, you were like that for 3 days minus, and here you can play again, someone else to pass. This is it for me was the most difficult. And how are you? So, moreover, sorry, I'll interrupt, right there they also believed that there were situations that there were games and sets counted, that's why there, Of course, you could have the first two matches lose, but you still had a chance leave the group, Of course, but you already have a habit of doing this. engraved on for the years that you lost that's it, you're resting, and then the next day You're still in shock for a day after losing and then you have a chance to win, and then if You lost two, you have a chance. This very strange. And for you? Well, you know, I just want recall the history of this championship. It didn't start out in this format. The 16 best played, but they played according to Olympic system. I still found it in my first championship that I played. Moreover, you also played the final match из пеетов вди сргарден. I remember when once here is my first year, when I I played really personally, I got it, because I probably, I probably the last one is the penultimate one, and qualified for the final championship. We played Squareeg Garden New York. AND I feel like I had a hand in that that the format was changed, [laughter] because because because I got in first round on Linsa Devinport. She was first racket, first seed and last year's winner. And when I won it, it was like this shock, you know, still an American in New York. 2001, Well, I can't tell you now. Not I remember, yes, 2000 or 2000, 2001, no I remember. And after that I think they We started thinking that the format needs to be changed. And we we came to the format that we have There is now, when we play in groups. We have a chance even if we lose one or even two games remain for us chances of getting out. Therefore, But it seems to me, this format is much more interesting and fairer. And he is not simple, and he is original in this original. But, you know, in tennis there is rules, for example, youth limit tournaments are called Capriati or there Hingis, what other new rule is there? twenty-five-second lead because of Djokovic and Nadal, and the final eight because of Elena Dementieva, who beat. It's not modest, of course, but to me I think I had a hand in this. Looks like we have a ready made shorts already [laughter] for social networks. Okay, let's do it now. Clearly state your bets. Evgeniy, who will win? No, yes, let's do it. No, it's not necessary to go that far. walk. Let's have a semi-final there, I think. Well, you don't have to go to grandma for that, Yes. I think so anyway Why is it somehow in the second group? You can go. Will leave the group, There are some questions there. From the group Sirena Williams will come out to me It seems to be Rybakin. AND let it be let it be Shventok. Let it be. Yes, from the group, I think Sabalenka will win and Hauff. I won't be like this too much tedious. I am for Sabalenka Gauff and Amanda and Elena. Well, I support it. Me too Yes, I would also put it exactly So. I'm not a fan at all, to be honest, at all not a fan. I am for me here for me here Here is Amanda with Igor or Amanda with Elena. That is, there are 50 questions here by 50, I would say. Yes. OK. Well, let's see who was right. I I think it's a fisherman's schwyot. Everything is counted, friends. And to yours this is for now And then as for there winner, but difficult. Are there no easy ways anywhere, Evgeny? Well, theoretically, probably, uh, the favorite, definitely Sabalenka. The second favorite, in my opinion, is Rybakina. Well, you're a real fan. No, I'm not just a fan, I'm very skeptical, yes, I just think that She is now in the best shape of her life all eight tennis players. A and I agree here, Yes? Okay, thank you. On this time to move on. Hey, friends, here we go. coefficients on your screens right now our partners from the background on who will become the champion of the final tournament. Well and we move on to the next one topic. We have a doubles tournament there, actually. and also Mira Andreeva with Diana Schneider, our Veronica Kudermetova with Alice Merton. So what are we going to say? Oh, by the way, the girls won Wimbledon, losing very badly somehow match points, yes, but they wait, they Rogoros lost their match in the final, in my opinion. Yes, They never won, right? It's theirs first victory at a Grand Slam. AND amazing, as much as I don't like watch a female couple, but it was Great match. I could be wrong, but they, I think they lost to Paulini in the final [ __ ] They lost the match ball Rolans, yes. And here they are wait, it wasn't Mira who lost with match point with Ziana? No, I lost this one or I already have I'm getting a bit confused already. Someone from Our team lost in the final with Matchball. Yes, That's what I think too. No, I don't remember. Same. Well, that's not the point. The girls are playing final, so let's hope. But at They have a very strong group. Sinyakovand. I think these are the number one favorites, and they probably should, after all win, but let's hope that the girls will come out with both groups to the semi-finals, and then it's just a matter of time will lie down, as we like to say. I was holding some event, Well, we watched tennis as usual. together with tennis fans, and I I watched the couple and Veronica played in the final. And I look, I was rooting for them so much, I think, well, that's it, they're losing there. no chance 4:1, but with a break on grass. I I say: “I’ll change my clothes now and come, I'm coming in 5 minutes." He tells me: "They will win." I say, "I mean, for 7 minutes just turned over. I had such a pleasant shock, but girls "Well done." And it’s very interesting about Mira in general. She couldn't play in Tokyo, huh? And they walk rumors that she simply didn't have time to get a visa do. Could this even be possible? reason? Because here it is, in fact Lena Rybakina was given the opportunity to uh m and thanks to his title in Ningbo to play at the final tournament she did so So it can't be said that she gave it to me. I think that Lena Rybakina herself would have done it I would have used the floor, of course. No one gave this chance to anyone you have to earn it, but on the one hand it's very It's a shame that the world didn't get there because It was really very close on points but on the other hand it seems to me that in the state she is in now it would be very difficult for her to be located expect a good result. Case it's not even that she failed performed at this Asian series, because you can lose too in different ways, but it was clear that she had her confidence is gone, her game is gone, and To put it simply, she was tired. Well, that's too much. It's been a busy season, that is to say an overabundance of everything and some amazing things victories at the beginning of the season, and very disappointing ones defeats, a lot of attention, glory, expectations of one's own and others'. And it seems to me that her In the end she held up very well throughout the season and at the end of it just covered. Fatigue overcame me. Here It's not in vain that we're with you, yes, Zhenya, every time we are talking about something that is very serious loads of nature and physical, and psychological, and it’s not for nothing that there is an association professional tennis players artificially It prevents young people from getting on the tour tennis players under 18 years of age. Well, I was there, sorry, I'll interrupt you, there was also a precedent when Gennifriati there since the age of fourteen and just a girl, yes, yes, there are many, many examples. Certainly. Well, well, look, even 18 years, 18 years we see what's going on with this It's very, very, very difficult to cope. And here is the world confirming this. That's why I I think it's very good that she got in in the spare. She will be playing in pairs with Diana Schneider. This will be wonderful experience that she would later will come in handy. And being a first-team player dozens, to come, so that, well, as for according to the Olympic motto, the main thing is not victory, participation, I think it can no longer make you happy because if you You're a solid player, of course. you hope and you count on victory, Yes, for a good performance. That's why let's just give the world time gain experience, rest after have a great season and already show it in next year what she is capable of. Svetlana, what do you think of this Andreeva duet? Schneider? What can you say? To me It seems like a great experience for the girls. It's clear that they are not pairs, they are playing still in doubles, but in singles tennis. That is, they can improve, Of course, I'll play my game from the get-go, and work on it. over shorter rallies and, a, This is, of course, income. But to the girls were reclassified into a pair, This can't happen, most likely, in my opinion. I played a lot too. couples, but when there is an excess of them matches, I'm completely with Elena I agree, I support her opinion when there is an overabundance, they are good for a couple played, and plus on Mira, now I'll switch, she had surges great tournaments. And to you in your youth age needs at least another year, to come to my senses and learn to play with this pressure. It's too early for her It came, which is great, but it is necessary to absorb it correctly and with this learn to live. Because when you everyone is trumpeting that you are going to win now Grand Slam, it's very difficult. With this It's difficult to play. It's much easier to do it no-name, win and then with this cope. Well, that's not easy either. That is Better prepare. The world needs another one a year to prove myself, to make a mark on this remain at the same level. She didn't just rise and fell, that is, it is still standing high and shows good results. Yes, at the end of the season she is a little I stumbled, yes, I burst into tears, yes, something We had a fight there, but that's normal. She is 18 years old, this is still youth itself. That is to say, no I don't see anything wrong with it, it's just necessary rest for the girls in general after the season. Ah, friends, I remind you that We have a wonderful Telegram channel where you should subscribe right now, and to not miss the most relevant information information about tennis and more. IN Anyway, subscribe and I'm sure that You won't regret it. Let's move on to masters, which takes place in Paris right now. Eh, our other two Ambassador, Karenkhachanov and Sasha Bublik They perform there quite successfully. Karin already won the title in the eighteenth year, m, but in the old arena. And here it is I'd like to ask Evgeniy: "A minute nostalgia, memories, we know how "How much do you love this?" And this new one it's like a technological arena, which they are playing now. And here are some What memories do you have with your old woman? I haven't been to the new arena. from the old arena This is a classic and I deeply I'm convinced that this is eh, big mistake from Bercy to another place for diffn postpone. Yes, yes, I'm not there, I'm not I know what these arenas represent, but I think it's a classic Bersi, it's should have stayed. with Bersi only the most that you can't eat is positive memories, positive emotions. Even though I lost two of my finals at Bercy, once in ninety-sixth year and the second time in 2001, but of course revenge was taken in 2002, when Russian national team, we are there after all won their first title, the draw Davis Cup. Of course it is, well, indescribable feeling. Well, I think that after all, Yes, the Bercy arena, it is unique and should have stayed where Why do you consider it a mistake? Well, After all, technology is moving forward Well, yes, that's true. I say again that I am not I know what the new arena is like represents. Maybe there, I'm not I know the lease agreements have expired. Maybe it's already because of the fact that I, If memory serves me right, it was Arina Bersi There are three playing courts, but it's very large. problem with training. Maybe on The new arena has additional features, besides match of games of the playing courts where they take place There are still a huge number of matches training courts, that's also a certain comfort, probably probably for these reasons. That's why I'm honestly nostalgic for Bercy, but I'm already from the old guard, I'm already After all, I'm 51, so, well, I'm young. chooses something new, therefore I heard that Zverev complained about something It's noisy on the first court to play something else. and was extremely dissatisfied with this arena. Ah, this is an arena, well, maybe, That's something he said. But I have Question, Zhenya, can you compare? the fact that the Kremlin Cup is from the Olympic moved to some other places? This also, this was also a forced measure, you remember, yes, Olympic, unfortunately, in in that form, yes, well, it's a big story, but there is an absolutely forced story there, you see, the Olympic was dismantled, it was simply necessary by definition modernize, which, in principle, is now the city and made thanks to mruer To Sobyanin. So what will be new there, I'm pretty sure there will be more there better than it was when we played. But the Olympic one was with you unique. This is the only arena where Where where the WTA and ATP tournaments were held in one week and the audience could watch both men's is their own it's a kind of it's a kind of tournament super nines which can also be found there draw parallels there speaking with kibiskeynomto or or with pumpingz here The tournament in Moscow was of this level, but unfortunately unfortunately now we cannot under certain circumstances I hope to do this sooner or later will return. As if we need to go into new technologies, and we are drawn to retro. This is already a hundred No, well, just Bersi, we're all used to it. You won there, Marat won there. This The season just ended with some beautiful victories in your performance, so it's already unusual. Where is Bersi? It seems like Paris, but it's autumn Paris is, well, that time of year for it. the city is the most you can't eat romantic, I think. Yes, Now I would love to now I would give anything to go back and play Paris at this time. But unfortunately, By the way, you know, I just caught myself thoughts that all three of our champions actually won the Kremlin Cup, and some more than once. I think that for You can like this, dear ones. [laughter] viewers, right now. A huge, huge like. A huge like. And by the way, you all won in Paris. Lena is part of the Federation Cup team in In 2004, Sveta won the Rolangoros. Right. Yes, I won Rolangoros. Paris, apparently, is liked not only by to you, and also to Sasha Bublik, who beat the mute and sent him in a taxi to to your home. [laughter] But then he said that he was going home in Dubai, and Duba there was a mistake. Ah, but nevertheless such It turned out to be a bright match. there before the match we almost came to blows. And here it is tell me, listen, they did organize something before the match, yes as if such intrigues that will be very there are a lot of fights, but in reality I really liked Bublik in this match. He was so reserved, he was so concentrated, he doesn't gave in to his provocations, Naturally, French fans. His provoked Mute, who constantly threw some glances in his direction. He survived such a match with such cool, played great, great filed. I really liked Alexander in this in this match. And what about the sneakers that fell off? Well, I don't even know what a sneaker is. Now tell the children. Every time, when you check before training, whether they tied it or not, but now in this it will disperse, look, look, Look, Zhenya, this will sell like hot cakes networks. So how can I explain it to them now? A professional playing at the Masters, like this I lost my shoe. But exceptions do happen. And did you have them? Yes. Yes, unfortunately, I have it in Miami tournament, while I was running for the shortened one, The sneaker also fell down while I was sleeping. It turns out that it was tied poorly? No, it was very hot there and it was like they were already heavy. From the sock gets wet, yes, and there is any any movement associated with the galnostop, yes, your leg might fly out right there. Fly out. Listen, well, who exactly is it? knows mute and its styles well, so this is Daniil Medvedev. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. He is his I tortured him well. [laughter] No, well, in general, it's an interesting mess. look. He looks like a Santaro to me reminds me, you know, here it is provokes, and runs, and plays. These ones drop shots and serves from the hand all the time Here he is discussing. This is actually quite decent. or it is indecent to serve with the second one. I I can say I really like it because What I love is when a player can improvise when he has one tennis ease, being the most as if a bit wooden, straightforward in game. I really like this in others. AND when I see that a person can to play outside the box, not according to the rules, well, I'm interested, where else will you see the Olympics? a champion who is so self-critical to his person. [laughs] More hardcore as is. Well wait, the bagel is also very also likes to use this. Yes, It seems like he's a total trans person in this plan. It seems to me that moments like these are like they really show you like this a person and your personality, yes, that's it is revealed in such moments. That is I find it hard to imagine you with second serve second serve from hand half. I can't imagine it. Yes, and I have it too I can't wrap my head around this either. And you too, Yes? What did you serve? [laughter] Just curious. Another point is whether it helps him in the right moments or not? Because I am so uh chronology, if a little bit from rewind, sometimes it's easy for him what he did on the court was harmful, That's why bagel, yeah, that's how it is because well that's all It's related to the fact that you're trying to do something like this to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, that's where his mood is change it somehow, but at the same time you yourself myself too you're confusing yourself, Yes, you put yourself in this situation too. employment situation, so that such gestures that relax, you understand, also like Nick Kuris sometimes he gets carried away, yes, sometimes he kind of loses the thread between the tennis player and a showman, yes, and what a mess, well, well already Just put the ball in the core, yeah. Well, it's clear that you're not Mansurbah there. temples, which are on a regular basis you do it, you need it there, Well, he's just a wizard, yes, of sword and racket, Yes. That's why there really is what's wrong with tennis is that we have a certain routine, a certain sequence some actions, steps. Someone is there Sharapovo's hair, these bangs, his I was correcting something, someone somewhere there He adjusted his shorts. That is, here it is there must be some sequence, and if suddenly something everything gets out of this routine, then the game is already going wrong. Like these guys They cope with this chaos, I tell them It's difficult to understand. It seems to me that everything is so individual, that's tennis and It's wonderful because people can be different different characters are played differently. For example, you just said, that Alexander is a trendsetter, but it seems to me, that he looked up to Kirius. That is Kirius was his idol. And always Alexander said: “I adore it, I I like that he is so extraordinary." And as if he wanted him a little imitate, if I may say so. AND In my opinion, Alexander got it It's a good thing that Kirius isn't playing right now, because it was as if he was left alone, and He has matured a lot. He started talking to me, he says good things, unlike what I I hate tennis and so on and so forth further. But nevertheless he popularizes this It's a sport and it has a lot of fans. I, of course, well, I am very conservative in tennis, and of course I can't do it somehow praise, but nevertheless he makes the game and fans love it. Who do you like now? Who is over you? Who do you follow from the men's tour? A Roger is no longer alive. Well, when I look Cinera Alcaroz, I'm still rooting for Alcarosa. Because of charisma. Yes, there is charisma. There is some, huh? the story of his power, what he can vary the game. That is, I am behind him. I've been observing for a long time. And if you remember, he played with Daniil Medvedev in Indianapolis Uvelse. And he realized that Dania was very it's far away, and literally in one match changed his tennis and started serving kicks and go to the net. The Spaniard who plays, in principle, from behind. I like this he likes the trend because he progresses all the time. There is no such thing words that I'm a fan. I'm just a fan Roger Feder. Fine. And Joo Fonseca, who won only that the five hundredth in Basel and which lost to Karina Khachanova. That's what you tell us about this young talent from Brazil? I really like him, but I'm interested in your opinion, Zhenya, What do you see in him? special? Because parents They say that from the age of two he showed extraordinary abilities. To me It's hard to imagine what he's like in 2 I did it for years, so there was already some incredible coordination, somehow he caught ball. But what is more surprising is that he matured so early in tennis and learned everything or there is something special? Because all-natural interruptions predict some outstanding thing for him future. I'm actually Pandora's box right now I'll open it. Do you know why? Why? Because he comes from a very poor family. This once. And it is the most important engine, because What is the reason why this is happening? what we see now. A guy with Brazil, not from a prosperous family, and only through your work, through your desire he tries to reach the heights. How many examples do we know of who became the greatest tennis players? Only those who had nothing, You see, the parents couldn't have them there to provide a certain one there. Yes, Djokovic is a clear example. The guy grew up in the time when there was a war there, you know, when the parents abandoned everything and went to another country. He was faced with a choice. And so, as far as I know, Fanseca is from the same environment where he must fight for his a place in the sun. And this is probably it This distinguishes many who achieve it. some peaks in tennis and who, to Unfortunately, this cannot be achieved. Who has it? that's it, he has no reason why he will not train at 100%, but by 200%. And that teenager, that child, which is there, he doesn’t need to think there, that my parents won't feed me there there will be something there tomorrow and so on. That's why Well, unfortunately, this is the reality, which I have, over all my years, here I am I see, and I can say this absolutely frankly say that they are achieving results only those that are the most they want this and they have nothing to begin with did not happen in this life. We only have Jesse Capigula, It turns out that it falls outside this list. only she. But he has Yes, well the only one And it seems to me that it is even more difficult for her, because that she had no motivation, that's how you you say, to reach this line and already beyond play with the edge. Well, dad does everything for her. did, yes, she does it, but Yes, at in this, you see, it’s probably there because of upbringing, due to the fact that there she was raised in certain conditions framework, and she doesn't want to ask there help from her dad, her dad is there owner, owner of a very large team in American football, which is there It's not worth 1 billion. Istors more, Well, and also hockey. Yes, there is, there is there are exceptions, but in general 80% of them are what I am what I told you, yeah, because, well, by and large, sooner or later everyone will master the technique, and he either has character or he doesn't. AND This is the ability to overcome oneself daily, yes, and to overcome oneself and to go through all this persistence, it is, of course, precisely for those who We are watching this at the final championship, Yes, that's right. And we are also watching Andrei Rublev, who also continues to win for now. A and he told such a curious fact in in his last post-match interview about that he changed the strings because His elbow was already hurting. And so I had to replace the strings. In general, tell me, How much can changing strings affect game? How often did you change strings along the way? tournament, season? I always changed. constantly. And what did they change? there are synthetics on then I'll tell you more than that, I'll tell you everything He played his career on clay courts with synthetics, but went out to hardcore and in The hall was played with natural gatombalat. That I have such a story. Yes. Mini-advertisement? No, not a mini-ad. I always have tacos No, well it's interesting, yes, because some will take one string and then for decades. I can only do this with these play. Well, because, yes, on clay you need it was like having a feeling like you were hitting and your ball doesn't fly out. Yes. And glory to God, to me, God the gift bestowed such qualities that the feeling of the sword is there and that is for me natural strings are the feeling of the sword and direction. I control, yes, I did it. very good, so I played control. And natural ones. Svetlana, what strings did you play with? I was up to a certain point, up to 18-19 years old. I played with a straight woman because I had rackets. And then I re-signed with Head. I played all my life and Hedom, and with the truns of Luxilon alone and the same when some half and I had half, one white, one silver, I don't remember now how it's called that, but that's not the point, there aren't any more of them produce. They changed it to something else another white string. I am always alone the same. It was easier for me that way. Lena, No. I just didn't like it. Necessary say that when you play with natural strings, you need to really change rackets frequently. Yes. Well, here it is How many gems were enough for you? Take great care of them. Well, you remember, I, I natural sides really they are They wore out very quickly. There so shaggy. That is, if you play outside, everything is affected by temperature, humidity, they are already several at once We lost a kilogram of our own. I still have it they were also quite thin, 127, but for me it’s real, if I’m not under them I put special ones under it plastic things that which protected from friction, that is, I have one the racket was enough for one match. If I didn't do this, there, if I didn't I put in, ah, 4-5 games. Didn't you change rackets when you changed balls? No, I tried the same thing all the time play with a racket. Yes, yes. Well, not that I saved money, but I don't like these the feeling, you know, of a new racket in a match there. Well, only if you're really there. you tear, you have a forced history, only in this case. That's why It's not just you if the ground is wet humidity you play and change balls, is felt. Well, synthetics, synthetic strings, they they were so oaky that there was no sensations. I never do natural sex on clay. I didn't play because I was always on first-name terms, when you play on clay, natural, They just fly out of your control there. I tried there sometimes I tried to tighten it, but they still flew out. uncontrollably, so I What strings did you play with? I still haven't By I'm telling you, I was wooden, I don't care which ones to play. A I just put some on [laughter] and so it is. And no one knows what kind of strings they were? Not Be modest, Len, don't be modest. I'm telling it like it is [laughter]. Not true. Oh, Evgeniy, by the way, I noticed that you so they experimented with theirs tool. me about the racket there some different overlays, linings. I'll ask you a clarifying question later. I will be happy to answer. Ah, good. No, I am allowed to ask this question right now. A that [laughter] parents are not editors allowed, Means From the audience, our viewer asked a question. regarding some incomprehensible thing stands on the lshnik. Yes, I wanted you too. ask. No one before you or after you has such a thing. didn't play. Tell me what this is? Who? Wait, we're talking about you now. Well, no. All this is simply too much to say. Obviously not all. But nevertheless it is Everyone knows who played this before me. knob. Evgeniy, wait. You know what? Emilia Sanchez. Ah, [laughter] OK. My story with the knob, it's very simple. Well, ninety-fourth year. Well, accordingly, there is no money. Yes. There's not much to buy for winding either. possibilities. Australia. And you too Can you imagine that you're sweating? hand very strong. And I play with ampros, second circle. And I have a do do like this degrees flowing from the hand, that's all goes to the racket. And when I submit, Well, you serve, of course, when you If you play Sampor yourself, you need to serve not at 100, but at 150%. And that's why When I was serving it started to fly out the racket is constantly because I had the flu wet. Yes. And, accordingly, then I think: "Well, what should I do, what should I do to Did my racket fly out when I served? Well, I started twisting and did it. Oh, convenient. And from that moment on, Well, you are doing this due to winding, right? Layer you, yes, you take the patch and do it yourself you have a new racket you get the company, you rip it off the original one from the factory flu, Yes, You wrap it with a bandage according to how it feels, yes, and from above, accordingly, then I don't think I could do such a thing take. Well, can you imagine what it's like? There is no car, well, you are still here the length of the racket, it turns out, is a little you're cutting back. On the contrary, they were looking for you, as if lengthen it. They showed it there, I remember, slow motion footage of Roger running after shortened. This is how he changes these grips. He's already there with two fingers. somehow hooks this ball. At your place there is still some movement going on limited? No, that's not the point, that's not the point. But I just I didn't hold it in a way that I had on the baldazhnik in Nu Well, yes, no matter how he resisted. And I that's exactly it, so that I have it on the baldazhnik It was on this part of the hand. And I have it too there was such a blister here worker [laughter] corn. Yes. Not, Nobody believed the fuss, yes, that's what I have I had a really big blister because I this is exactly this edge I have something so big all the time here I held it with this part of my hand. Well, science fiction is generally very interesting. Thanks for clarifying. I think ours the audience will be happy. Let's do it further about tennis, about Alcaraz and Nori. And Alcaraz made 54 unforced errors. How is this possible? Here Anything can happen in a casino. [laughter] Perhaps, I would say, at the last master of the season. I had it too. I was playing with someone on Rolangaruse, I had 111 unforced errors, and I won match. Ah, so that's also possible. Fine. Yes, this is also possible. Well, that's why the Spaniards are so uncomfortable. play in the hall? Explain. Or this with this not related? Well, I think it's a sin now. complain because the coating so slow. We are in this week In Paris we saw just some festival shortened. Here's everything through the drawing They shortened it and it always went away. Court very slow. Here, judging by the picture. Well, I've said this more than once. at all, What what everyone did, starting from there the beginning of the two thousandth. Well, that was a big mistake, because all the play styles that were present until that time, there was a feed from the output of the network, they just simply everyone reset, left one style. This is a game on the back lines due to powerful blows there right, left, that is, such a game, which was there in the seventies, the eighties and even in the nineties, where where are the players who adhered aggressive style of play, serving with with the release of the grid, they weren't just removed. Is it good or bad? Not for me. That's what I wanted to ask. Not for me now, but I think it is very bad. My personal objective is there, subjective opinion, as you wish, yes. But I think that when when several styles of play, this is what attracts spectators and all tennis fans to there were different contrasts because one the contrast, frankly speaking, doesn't suit me anymore gives pleasure. No, I'm for diversity. I like them different surfaces, different speeds. All It forces everyone to change a little bit anyway. your game. Ah, it seems to me that it is coming to life. picture because you have to adjust a little and to rebuild. Ah, well, if you I remembered, yes, Nadal never won the final championship and everything there indoor tournaments, it was clear then the courts were faster, but now, of course, we see that the Spaniards are calm They play, Latin Americans are also calm they play for themselves at these tournaments in hall, and they don't have any problems. A Who is suffering? Medvedev is suffering. the animals suffer because they do not they can score because they have been doing it for a long time I would have already forgotten about it and scored at a faster speed coating. Well, maybe that's it. will make them go to the net more often. Svetlana, you have a Spanish school. tennis, that's where you're from. Tell me why the Spaniards are like this Is it hard to play indoors? What are the features? And how did you find playing in the hall? Well, for example, in Barcelona there is everything one indoor tennis court or two, maybe now. And you always you play outdoors. Accordingly, the air in the hall is more compressed and harder to play. Here I have, For example, there were matches with Sirena Williams. I was leading at the Australian Open, then there was a close match again with Williams' siren on Umbledon. And both matches, one because of the heat stopped, covered, the second because of the rain. And in both matches, she plays more actively. The coating is still the same, but the air is different. AND my rotation doesn't have that much weight. Yes. That is, it is more convenient to play when They play quickly. But I'm also here with Lena. I agree that the coatings are different You, the players, are forced to develop. That there was when the grass was faster, at first It was hard for me to play on it, then everything better and better, and then she slowed down and It became perfect in general. Of course, for me, It was easier when I slowed down coverage, but to be universal the beauty of being a player is that you have to be able to play on any surface. Friends, our partners' coefficients are on the screens from the background to the upcoming quarterfinals Parisian master. Well, let's move on to next topic. The tenth masters, which They announced the pros and cons, I want to discuss. Last week the ATP announced about the tenth master, which will take place in Saudi Arabia. It's still unclear specifically, what place on the calendar it will take, but twenty-eighth year, most likely, Somewhere in February, probably. And at the same time, The peculiarity of this tournament is that that it is optional. And 50 and 56 players will play. You What do you say about this in general? in in in light of how much players complain It's such a busy season right now. Players have no opportunity to rest. There is an imbatz and another tenth masters. Well, You don't have to come, of course, but I I think many will want to. Nevertheless. To be honest, I don't understand logic at all. I really can't understand why. It is clear that the money is Saudi Arabia Maybe I can paste it over now - more than once, uh the globe is covered in hundred dollar bills more than a dozen times. Do you understand? Naturally, they are ready for money do whatever you want. It's another matter, what, well, classic, classic, standard, These are nine Masters series tournaments. They they were like this, as far as I remember myself, that's how many nine tournaments there are. AND you do additionally, accordingly, you must infringe on someone's interests others. And who else will be affected? is this the whole story? Tournaments for sure, which more, probably, m problematic. I don't I know. who will meet the criteria problematic, but, accordingly, I I understand that they are doing something must sacrifice. This is what they will be sacrifice, I find it difficult to answer. But I personally think that if uh if they, The Saudis wanted to do something like that themselves, well they should have in the first place the queue somehow or other is trying to buy out license for tournaments that are already in place moment exist, there Rotterdam, for example, yes, Well, you can take it there a lot of tournaments that are tested there certain, probably financial difficulties, therefore By expanding the tournament in this way, I do not I understand the logic of what they want to achieve in this case, when everyone starts to say that the season is long there, the season needs to be shortened, that's where we want to finish in October so that we have 2 there there was a month of rest, well that's all clear, but this way they don't help athletes who, as I understand it, express their dissatisfaction. And what about the six King Slams this year? Svetlana? Did you find it a bit boring? I didn't watch many matches. Like there wouldn't be very many people on in the stands, yes, at the final, of course, more. Well, Zhen, I’m here a little bit I don't agree with you, Sveta. I'm not very I agree. I'm honestly just sitting here and thinking, I would like to address you and men's tour. We would like to have your problems, Our women's tour will help you with your problems. add, just think about it, multi-million dollar tournament, you are not optional, that is, do not play I want, you are not satisfied. This is just some kind of whiner's tour. I can't stand it anymore. Listen, here's how you know, Why do others dislike tennis players? athletes? Why, that's exactly what I wanted say, I don't I don't remember you whining. I don't remember. You played, not only that you played, you won Roland Goros in alone and in pairs. The only one of its kind level player who could take, yes, here After we gave you a second monument we will put it there with this unique one achievement. Listen, but I don’t remember, you always had a very rich calendar year and I don't remember what you He said: "Oh, I'm on a millionaire's list again. drive. Oh, how am I now until the end? I'll get there." I played with pleasure. And what Now I still love, I finished my year 10 December. Do you know why? Because it's the finale The Davis Cup was there from 3 to December 3, December 2-3. And after that we had awesome exhibition tournament. That's it and it was the best thing that could have been with tennis. This was in the nineties. The company Compak made this an exhibition tournament in which 16 people participated tennis players. They qualified based on their results performances at Grand Slam tournaments. Here are the four Grand Slam tournaments. And here it is to you for your every performance in each Points were awarded in the Grand Slam tournament. And here are the results of these four tournaments You were selected in these 16 Grand Slams. And that was there at that time, and in the nineties The first prize was $2 million. And here it is it was the most awesome tournament at the end years. If you didn't have enough money, abit you go, you go there and finish collecting, yes. At that time, they gave you a reward for participating. 100 100. The main thing is that you get there, first of all, the idea is very interesting. I've said it so many times, I keep saying it, If you want to add a new tournament, Why do you need XM? Well, we're there anyway, but there are clear criteria here, because of which players will try to perform successfully at Grand Slam tournaments. This additional motivation. Additional motivation. But this tournament, to unfortunately, in ninety-nine, because that the contract was only for 10 years, he last held in ninety ninth. He was in Munich. And I I was lucky enough to be ninety I played there every year since the fourth year, because it was important to me. I I always wanted to have some pocket money there expenses in December to receive money to buy myself there additional gifts. That is to say, it was a fantastic story, you know? So he played and didn't complain, he kept playing. contract. And now And now you get up on side of tennis players who are endless than to the workshop? Tell. Me too, just I don't understand. I don't understand. Listen, there is The tournament is mandatory. How much is there? mandatory? 16 tournaments or 14. Then played out. That's it, don't play. In general, I generally adhere to the fact that that everything needs to be returned to its old course. Where did you have your No, no where where was this story? You have a rating 14 of your best tournaments were entered. You I could play 10 of them there or five, or I could play and in general 40, but 14 of the best are for you entered the rating. And I think that there was this is the fairest story than Now you're forcing everyone to play. there are nine tennis tournaments there Super Nines, there are also the 500she series or seven tournaments, you have mandatory 18 tournaments. Well, nobody wants to play. Everyone wants either more or less. Well, listen, here, how can you complain about a large number tournaments and at the same time participate in indicators that go during season? Sveta, we had a rule that it was impossible to participate in the demonstration tournaments during the gaming season. No, They have this rule too. But that's why in this Saudi Arabia The tournament takes place over two or three days. they play, they have a day off to get around this is the rule, and then some day finale, you know? That is, they go around it's just a rule, but nevertheless then says that you are tired if you you play this tournament. I am categorically against this, of course. I myself am on the side of those who are who does not do this. But if you are really you I'm tired, why are you going to play Exhibitions? demonstrative to make money in off-seasons? Even though you know what you're in for I'm playing five hundred there next week or there's a super nine, yes, and at the same time you you begin to express your dissatisfaction. By the way, Novak and Dania got injured there, for example, I didn't go there. His in He was invited there at the last moment I went to Almaty and the tournament was correct. won the title and said I gave my the word is like money to me, well, well, in in general, for some, maybe other reasons reasons, but nevertheless he won title. We congratulate him on this. And we attended the match for the first time. Dasha with a complete family of girls. So Dania is not only Evgeniy, Dania is in the flower garden. Evgeniy for a couple of hours. He he he with this victory his chances for He improved his chances of getting into the final tournament. We hope that he is on this one. will manifest itself properly in the week Paris. But who knows, the chances are He has it, just like Bublik does. Bublik, if, let's say, he wins the tournament, he will come very close to that qualify. But I want to say a few words of thanks to Elena. Have you noticed at all how Evgeniy he perked up, otherwise he was already sitting and yawning, and Here is Elena. I wasn't yawning. [laughter] I don't yawned. added a little tone, and then you say that I have eyeliners some are not like that. Well, who, if not you, [laughter] You will keep our Evgeny that melancholy falls asleep. [laughter] Well she really is I need to cheer him up. Autumn is autumn, unfortunately, like this depressive depressive time of year. Yes. But we have What kind of depression can we have? We we have reached the very denouement. Final championship. That's when everything is in Australia It seems like the season is starting infinitely long. And now it flew by like one moment. And we came to the most interesting. To the most interesting part. What do you want? mark? Janik Sini Siner was hated for that he doesn't want to play in the final Davis Cup Trophies. Svetlana, I think it's on everyone's conscience. Here really wants to play great. Are you playing for your country, you are proud of it. If not he wants, he is tired, he is more about himself thinks he's a bit of an egoist. U each to his own, some kind of reasons accept. There have been for 2 years already won. Look, you remember this, yes, all this the story of the Davis Cup, the Cup federation. Everything is very strong began to express their dissatisfaction with the fact that that 4 weeks is a lot, Why all this? The Davis Cup is already there. further. The format has been changed. What we have now at the moment? We have that exactly the same thing. Nobody plays it wants. That is, they are from the classic format when the Davis Cup and the Cup federations were held there in their native walls there or on the road. That is it it was bad. Now it has become even worse. And that's why the players, when I also have them the position is unclear, they wanted it themselves shifts, so they achieved a shift, and at They still don't play this game. That is Something is definitely wrong. Either in or in the format. or in themselves. But in this case, Most likely, it is they themselves athletes express their feelings in this way dissatisfaction, unwillingness there or their own whims are showing. Once again I, Well, I'm actually really sad about this. hear because I remember the times, when we were offended by each other within the team at each other for not putting us in play. That is, we wanted, we fought for this place. It was just a dream come true to perform. And and on and in fact it was it's not about the format or where it's held, in no time. It's like you and me We talked about the Olympic Games, are they necessary? there are rating points. We agreed, that they seem to be needed because they are full-fledged tournament, but that's not what it's about, right? This is not about that. We're not going there for points, not for awards. There is something more than just, well, I don't know, make money, Let's say so, yes. And I don't know, very, very much sad. I understand that he has It's a busy season and how can you make it through it? understand from the point of view, yes, what he needs rest and recover. Well, For some reason it's sad. And it’s also sad for Holger Urunyi, who tore the Achilles tendon and there restoration of the order of the year. Is it possible? This can also be attributed to such a calendar tense? The players don't have time to recover, come everyone, Yes? No, well, that is such an unfortunate thing. a coincidence of circumstances. Well, how much is there? there were examples in ninety-five after the Davis Cup, when we played with Germany, uh, where were you Stich and Becker, Stich went to the tournament in Vienna, and he is in one of the matches under just also turned up in exactly the same way golnost and was there for 6 months. Well from No one is ever insured against this. This I say this again, what is unfortunate cross-section of circumstances. and write it off the fact that this is tired. Well, we all get tired. I am not alone, not once Let's return to these conversations. Yes, everyone gets tired. Not It's hard for everyone, but for some people it's hard this moment passes with dignity, some don't. The calendar has nothing to do with it. And Maria Timofeeva changed her sports citizenship and will now play for Uzbekistan. I know that, Evgeniy, you have something say something about this. No, well speak. Listen, let's get it straight, uh. I do not in any way condemn anyone for a purely personal decision made by someone take this or that step. I'm like this What's annoying about all these stories is that the moment that everyone somehow blames Tennis Federation in that it is is happening. Let's be honest. And the federation does a lot for the development of tennis in Russia, but this can also be confirmed Sveta and Lena. And Russian tennis The tour grows everyone, uh, everything young generation gives them the opportunity to each other compete with each other. Without this there would have been no Lena Rybakina trial. She I wouldn't have grown into that tennis player because that in Russia she received everything that she and, as it seems to me, I say again, Lena and Sveta can correct me there. But this is my personal opinion that without If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have gone anywhere. Ah, that's a different matter, who was there before them, Putintseva, Sasha Bublik, but they are also grew up in Russia and also thanks to that, What's the federation's business? and blame the federation that we are to blame because All tennis players change their sport citizenship. Well, this is absolute absurdity. Everyone does what they think is right. AND Here's what the last Masha did Timofeeva, well, that's definitely true. I make up the financial. But with his own I can assure you 100% of the parties that they all received a certain kind of support through grants. And here it is Now, As far as I know, we're just tired. already from this whole story. We want, so that all those tennis players who potentially be ready to go to such a length a step so that they would reimburse everything back federation, what we invested in them. Here Now I know that with Elina Ivanisyan, who accepted the Armenian gram, which was before on many very We give a lot to the federation's grants what we did, and now we will be through eh through legal proceedings with her I have to compensate her for all this because I I think you should compensate for that, If you're going somewhere on the side leave what was invested in you. AND This will be fair. And also with Masha Timofey, because I know for sure that in they have everything in them, the money is in the federation invested. Our ladies are a little bored, so I suggest we play a game. I I [laughter] am afraid of your games. We love it here. Oh well, there's nothing there. scary. And we will have this format mini-debate. I will ask questions, and You must answer whether you agree or not. If everyone agrees, then we move on. If someone disagrees, then we argue. When did this start? Yes. First question. And who will dominate? longer, Siner or Alcaraz? Siner. Alcaraz. So, [laughter] both begins. In general, Class. This should be [laughter] one, one one will move the other. Ah, interesting. So, yes, they will have a live live competition. I think that duration [laughter] Duration of one directly depends on the duration of the other. Counted. Let's move on. And who? the winner of the next Grand Slam? Not by the last name Sinner or Alcaraz for men? Well, accordingly. Well, it's somehow clear. [laughter] How It's clear? It's clear. Who? Djokovic. Djokovicrep. Of course, he won't leave until he wins. I think they'll just give it to him. They'll just give it away. I think it's just they will give it back. It will be like this, he is not I decided on this tournament. He wants, so that he could have such a farewell ceremony done. And this needs to be done beautifully. He deserved it. I don't argue, I don't argue. Well, how are you, Alcatraz? and will you tell Sinera? [laughter] Give it back, please. I adore, forgive me, distort names. And I would win in such a game a game of tennis distortion. To you I suggest we play. That's it, I've said it all. Okay, let it be, let it be Fanseka. Great. Ah, Svetlana, what is your option? And I didn't say anything. You didn't say, did you? We had an argument a little. Well, I'm for Fansec, even though he's not for me. very nice. Okay, calm down, calm down. I respect other people's work, always everyone athletes. But good. Fonseca. Okay had it. When Russian tennis player will win the Bolshoi tournament helmet? Yes. Does junior count? Well, no. Through in a year, not next year, but the year after. Yeah. The twenty-seventh year, Yes. And they will call her peace. [laughter] Yes. Unanimously. Maybe. Twenty twenty eighth. Twenty-eighth. Mira Andreeva. No. And who is like that? Well, of course, at Evgeniy's alternative. I think either Katya Dotsenko, or Masha Makarova. These are two girls. One of them, uh, one of them is 14 years old, the other 15. That means they will win in twenty-seventh in 4 years. Well, yeah, somewhere around the eighth through 3 years. Yes, Interesting. Let's write it down, we write it down. Yes, we have everything here recording. When the Russian tennis player will win a Grand Slam tournament? Boy, He won't win for 10 years. Oh, how pessimistic it all is. And if you Are you going to see the legends at Rolangaros? No, it doesn't count. It is believed that we are all we count here. Well, we are practically, we are practically a person Nograta is with you. Yes I didn't know [laughter] I didn't know about it. Every time they promise me there. OK. So what? There is no such thing No, no, we won't win. We haven't been here for 10 years we will win. Exactly, girls, you Well, I don't know, but that's what we have. a pleasant event. Sava Rybkin won Final Junior Championship. No, no, Well, he's 16, of course, he's not ready, but but you must admit, these are good results and a good future for ours. That's it, I believe sa rybki na win 5 years. No, We will support him. Well, Zhenya, it needs to be said out loud. This universe hears us. Sava Fish. [laughter] Excellent job sending the request. And who of Russian players will be at the next final? Is this female or male? Well, both different, but generally masculine. I think, I hope that Medvedev will play It will be worthy in Paris and will get there. That's why then the further we go in time the more we leave, the less chances there are. That's why I I think this year there is a chance like never before. It will be much more difficult from now on. All agree? Yes. Yes. Well, that's it then, zavato vesiglas with Evgenim. On this optimistic note, we we're finishing. Dear viewers. Well, like this you won't see the star cast at all nowhere but in Hardcourt's studio.
