EA, come on in. Oh, EGA, right off the court. Great to see you, EGA. Welcome. Nice job out there. Well done. I don't get a pleasure to see you in person very often. That's true. Well done. Have a How you doing? We'll keep this quick because we know you got a lot to do. Thank you. Thank you for jumping in and assess your match for assess what happened out there today against your country woman. Uh yeah, I mean it wasn't an easy match. uh especially after Miami which uh obviously was not good for me. I knew I need to you know um bring my game and bring my intensity and use my top spin. So you know um Magda can really
Magda is a solid player. She doesn't have like one particular thing that is worse. Um and uh yeah I needed to be solid to use my powers be precise and uh kind of build a rally you know make her run and yeah open the court. You did that well. You just we just showed you the break point here. Set point now for you. Got her on the run. And how are you feeling with the new coaching team that you've got now? What how what's that bring brought to the table? Did Rafa have anything to do with that? Just out of curiosity. Well, I talked to him um and uh he gave me some advice. Also, you know, I wanted to ask him uh about different systems of coaching because I was also considering,
you know, having two coaches and uh maybe at some point throughout the season I'm going to add one more coach to the team. But um but because I for like at the beginning I had doubts about that, but I knew that Rafa sometimes even has three coaches. So we had to ask him how it is you know and um also we spoke a little bit about Francisco and u you know he had only positive things to speak about and about the coaching style. It was from what he said it was like exactly what I felt like I need. So um so yeah, we approached Francisco and um I was happy that he could join the team because obviously like making a change right before the clay season for me also wasn't easy, you know. Um I had
uh you know doubts if I'm going to find a good coach so quickly. U but I'm happy that yeah, what about the heat because we saw what happened to Yannik. Is that an issue in the past for you? Do you walk out they're like, "Oh my god, I got to get off to a good start here." Um, I felt like heat usually helped me because also the ball was bouncing usually higher, you know. So, also on Wimbledon last year, it was so hot and it kind of destroyed the grass which made it less uh, you know, grass. Yeah. Um, it was more bouncy because of that. So, I felt like um it's an advantage. And also in Cincinnati last year, I think it was like the biggest test we can have. It was so hot and so humid like crazy. I think it was uh you
know the weather like in China suddenly and no one really expected that in Cincinnati. So um so after that I felt like honestly I can handle it and I can use it to my advantage. Um I would feel I would say here with these boards that are pretty light lighter than you know what we play in Rome and Madrid. you need to really be careful and um not do too much because it's easy to make mistakes and unfores um so this is something that I need to adjust but physically you know I don't feel like it's bothering me and before we let you go because we know you got to go and do some other press stuff so we appreciate you coming by but Lucas over here but we're trying to help he's a social media we're trying to help you on it
we're trying to get John you know to get on social in I made it this far so we're we're trying to up our game so he's going to got a question for me from maybe some of the fans out there. So, John has been raving about the bands that he loves, the pretenders who may they may or may not be pretend. Do you have a more modern music recommendation for John? Someone that you like that he should listen to? Wow. Oh, wow. Well, what type of music do you like? First of all, it's a mix.
