But sometimes you just take the toilet break for, you know, refresh and just to leave the court for a little bit.

So there are some players which they are just too intense for practice sometimes, and you don't want to be stressing, you know, in practice, because there is enough stress and nerves in the matches and when the tournament starts. So I think we are, like, I always enjoy to play her always. It's a guarantee that the practice gonna be good level, because she always plays good. She always fights in the practice. But on the other hand, it's like, like I said, it's relaxed. We can laugh. We can, you know, even talk about something, you know, stuff, not about tennis. So that's why we enjoy. Yeah, it's not always that I ask and not always that she asks. Sometimes it just goes. The practice is always good. I think that's why we always try to hit."
