00:00A new year begins, but first let's talk about how you finished it, which was in the best possible way, with a super victory in the Barcelona finals against the number one in the world.
00:12Yes, well, the truth is that it was a very special tournament. Well, I still remember it with a lot of affection, I think I will remember it for many years too.
00:19Winning the Master Finals is not won every day, I think, and in the end, well, the truth is that I am very happy to have been able to achieve that tournament with Koki and with the whole family ahead.
00:28This was the end of the year, with a golden brush, now how do you start it? How has this preseason month been and how are you facing a change of partner?
00:37Luckily, I think that in the end, Momo and Koki, in terms of character, are very similar. I don't have to get used to changing the way of transmitting or seeing how each one plays.
00:50And the truth is that I am very excited, I am very excited. Also, I think that finishing the year winning a tournament gives you a lot of security, a lot of confidence.
00:58And today, precisely with Momo, we have debuted here in Riyadh, we have played a very solid game and the preseason month has been very positive.
01:05It has been very positive, together with Gaby and Momo, that we are very eager to start doing things right.
01:12What do you think is your strong point, given the fact that you have been together for so long, there were many tournaments ahead. What do you think is going to be your strong point this year?
01:23Well, I think that in terms of technique and tactics, I would tell you that in the end, we are two very physical people, Momo is very good physically.
01:33I also consider myself good, I am not inestimable. I think that in the end, the speed on the track will help us a lot to win games.
01:41And well, in terms of character and others, I think that in the end we are two very competitive people, we get along very well and I think that we are going to be quite united on the track.
01:50So I hope I'm not wrong.
01:52Tell me a little bit about how Riyadh is doing, so that you have never been to Riyadh, how is it to arrive at the tournament, which on top of the first tournament of the year,
01:59is in another place, completely different from the one you are used to and which is a new world of sports.
02:07Yes, well, totally. If you come straight from Madrid, luckily I come from India, which I think has similar temperatures.
02:14Here it is hotter than in Madrid. The trip is also hard because you have to catch two planes.
02:21But well, the truth is that coming here to new countries is a pleasure. To see that the padel continues to grow here.
02:30We can see that today people have come to see the padel. Yesterday we went to the shopping center and people welcomed us to the tournament.
02:37So you can see that the padel is growing here.
02:39Now I'm going to ask you if you already have a list or two or three tournaments in mind that when you saw the whole calendar you said,
02:48I really want to play this tournament and do something very important. I imagine everyone, but there is always one that draws more attention.
02:57I really like the tournaments in South America, Chile, Argentina. I really like those tournaments.
03:02In Argentina I really want to go because the public feels very special. And then Chile, I have friends there.
03:11And well, the truth is that I really want to go there and I had a great time last year. So I'm looking forward to going back.
03:16Well, good luck for this tournament and for the rest of the year.
03:20Thank you very much, Ena. Thank you.
