When it gets back to what you just said before about like, almost like the length of the, of the slam.

I mean, she's been playing in Paris for three weeks, played, played nine matches, um,

And the conditions were just dramatically different from the beginning.

There was the first week of the main draw was just like the biggest heat wave in Paris, in the event history, I think.

And so you think of all she's had to go through, beat some, you know, big sculpts in Zhenjing Wang, Sakari, Elise Mertens, Schneider, like big solid wins.

So it was just an incredible story.

But I think it was also, as you mentioned on Mira Andreeva, it was,

probably not a big shock she won in the end and you know she's still only 19 and we've always talked about her being you know a potential Grand Slam winner and I think it's the first of many more for her

Yeah, I think Precocious is right.

I mean, she's certainly the full package of the way she carries herself on and off the court.

I love her speeches are usually at the end where I'd like to congratulate myself, thank myself.

You know, it's just, it's refreshing.

And, you know, she's, it's just, again, probably, you know, she's had her ups and downs as well, even though she's only 19.

So, you know, another massive effort and shows how there's a lot of stories happening

In the women's game, when you've got people like Sabalenka, you've got Schneider bobbing up, beating her, and Rabakina, and Coco Goff, and Svitolina's playing great this year.

So there's a lot of stories in the women's, and she's one of the main ones now.

Yeah, well, first, she would have got a per diem, which does cover a hotel.

But that being said, this is the biggest issue in the sport at the moment has been the top players looking for a greater percentage of revenue share from the slams.

I mean, there's fixed formulas in the tours, but the slams sort of

determine what level they put and so that's when you do see a girl ranked 114 who you know will then go and play a tournament next week if she plays a 250 where the total prize money is 275 000 um you know it's it's having that year-round sustainability which is the biggest issue in the sport not not for the top players but at that that that next level down that personifies really what a battle it is and uh you know her life changed as a result hasn't it but
