02:23Thank you to my team, Bjorn and Kayla over there
02:27As well as Lang who's already in Melbourne
02:30We had a really great off-season so looking forward to what's to come this season
02:36I haven't been back since 2020 and I was lucky enough to lift the trophy then
02:42And now I'm back and I'm holding it once again
02:45So I feel like I should just keep coming back to Adelaide
02:48Clearly I do well here
02:51So I just want to say thank you to everyone, thank you to all the volunteers
02:55To the WTA staff, Alicia, everyone else
02:59TA, the fans, we are so thankful
03:02And there's so many people that we absolutely need to put on these tournaments
03:07And they never get the thank yous that they should
03:10And we are here to say thank you very much
03:12And hopefully to see you all back next year
03:16But really a great performance from Madison Keys today
03:20She was dominant
03:21You said right from the start all the way through
03:24There are a few blips and ups and downs but she rode them really well
03:27She's a former semi-finalist at the Australian Open
03:30And so is Pagula
03:31Pagula came a little late into the season
03:33She's built all the way through
03:35Let's see how far they can go
03:36It's been a very enjoyable tournament
03:38Josh, once again, lovely to be alongside you as well
03:41Absolutely
03:42And I'm a huge fan of these trophies
03:44She'll look back and it'll bring her right back to Memorial Drive and this final
03:50So unique, aren't they?
03:52I like the fact that she said I've been here before
03:54I've won the tournament here before
03:56I'll be coming back
03:57And I'm sure that the organisers would be absolutely thrilled
