00:03 I'm just speechless, to be honest.
00:06 Like, hearing that, like, she's such a good player.
00:08 She's so strong.
00:09 Shock.
00:10 I cannot believe it.
00:12 I'm really sad because I really like her.
00:14 But I don't think she played as well as she could have done.
00:18 I think she seemed a bit anxious on some of the big points.
00:21 And the young Czech played brilliantly.
00:23 I was a bit shocking because, like, she never really
00:25 was, like, in the game.
00:25 Like, she was just going through the motions
00:27 and never, like, put her mark on the game.
00:30 I was really surprised.
00:31 She's obviously had such a good run so far.
00:34 So to see her lose in that game, even after a bit of a battle,
00:37 it was quite a surprise, yeah.
00:38 She has some mental issues to deal with,
00:40 like, in terms of the challenge of pressure.
00:42 And maybe being number one is tough.
00:44 But that really wasn't the display of a number one
00:46 tonight.
00:46 Linda played really well, actually.
00:48 And she couldn't believe she'd beaten the world number
00:50 one in the end.
00:50 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:56 Never heard of her.
00:57 But she played well.
00:58 She's crazy that even for someone
00:59 that we've never heard of before to come up and do that.
01:01 It's just incredible.
01:02 Never, no.
01:03 But it's good to see, like, young players coming up.
01:05 No.
01:06 Never seen her play.
01:08 And she suddenly arrived on the world stage.
01:09 Yeah, 19 years old.
01:10 And she seemed a lovely, modest young lady.
01:13 Yeah, she did.
01:13 Played really well.
01:14 I reckon that crowns out for anybody at the moment.
01:16 Like, that's going to be so good.
01:17 I reckon, like, competition is going to be spicing up.
01:20 And I think that's going to be really, really good
01:21 for the sport.
01:22 And I think it will make the tournament more interesting.
