The Spanish tennis player was present at the press conference on Friday (September 15th) and spoke Sportish about her injury, but also about her relationship with the world number 5.

“I’m fine now. It’s a long process, I still have a few months ahead of me, it was a serious injury and unfortunately I missed the season.”

I can’t wait to get started again, I talk to the doctors every day and hope to be back soon. The goal is to come back in January and compete at the Australian Open if everything goes well and my body is fit again and I’m ready.” she said of her injury.

He has the potential and skills to be No. 1

“Stefanos is a very special person, he has an incredible heart, he is very caring and generous. I can say so much about him. We support each other and understand each other. I’m his biggest fan and he knows that I will support him no matter what.

Before we met, before I became his partner, I admired him and he was already one of my favorite players. I love the way he plays, the skills he has on the court, how aggressive he is, he has a great forehand and a great serve.

I always think about watching him play and following his example. So yes, it motivates me. He has the potential and skills to be No. 1. It has already reached number 3. For me it can.

We have built our own “bubble” and we protect it

It is very important to have a healthy and calm relationship and to have a partner who understands you. The most important thing for me is communication, understanding the other person.

At the end of the day, we need to follow our dreams and stay focused in our professional lives. I think we understand very well how important both parts are. That’s why we push each other every day to get better.

It is not easy to manage the public. Of course everyone talks, everyone judges, everyone has an opinion and everyone knows it, but I know how it is.

As a professional athlete you are exposed to this, but we communicate very well with each other, we have our own “bubble” and we protect it. It is important to know what the other person thinks about the other person and to listen more than talk.

Greece suits me, lI love feta, souvlaki and I eat tzatziki

I hope that I give him encouragement and strength in the stands. Sometimes I ask him, he likes it. As a person, I’m passionate, so I’m trying to support him as much as I can and hopefully help him.” were her words as she said for our country:

“Greece suits me, I love it, I love the culture, the people. I feel at home here, like I have a Greek family.”

I’m really excited to learn about the country and its amazing food. I love feta, souvlaki and I also eat tzatziki, I enjoy it.”
