rememberfalling and a few times. nothing serious but i remember falling and sitting there for a minute remember falling and sitting there fora minute and remember falling and sitting there for a minute and having a bit of shelterfrom for a minute and having a bit of shelter from the winter. there were moments when i was like, why am i here? when i put the tent back up i reminded myself why i m here and why i m doing this and the amount of people. i don t have internet here so i m a bit cut off from the outside world but the amount to people that are hopefully seeing what i m doing and hopefully thinking, if she can do that without knowing much about it at the start, maybe i can do whatever i want to do. so, ithink maybe i can do whatever i want to do. so, i think there is a mixture really. in terms of the conditions, it was pretty tough and then the longer it went on and being completely alone out there, i had
so, it was difficult being there on my own. i ve never done anything to this extent completely alone. obviously, i trained for it but it s quite difficult, i think the longest i ve been alone in training probably about three orfour days. i ve been alone in training probably about three or four days. even i ve been alone in training probably about three orfour days. even in the uk i do hikes on my own and you always come across people. so, that was definitely a challenge. the weather and the conditions, 100%, there were some really, really difficult days. it sjust there were some really, really difficult days. it s just when it s so, so windy and cold and there s a lot of, you know, it s not flat as well, it s a gradual uphill and there s a lot of things around that can be a few metres high, so i fell a few times. nothing serious but i
be quite difficult at times. but again, one signing the tent, i said to myself, i m a day closer. and also, i m in antarctica which is so surreal, not having known anything about this place a few years ago and it s been incredible that i m here. i don t know if you re desperate to leave but i ve heard the pilot who is supposed to be bringing you home has got covid and is isolating, so you can t leave at the moment, is that right? not at the moment. at the moment, we just get updates in terms of how soon we can leave. but i am being treated well, so that is nice. i am in a tent which is bigger than my own and i am being fed well, so i
happen at this level. if you re organising one of the four biggest tennis tournaments in the world, if you re hosting so many high profile figures including the world number one, you have to be well aligned. you cannot allow him to board a plane thinking he has done all he needs to do in order to enter australia and then only to have him isolated in a room and stay overnight at an airport because of some mix up. i would be completely fine if his request was rejected all the rules stated that only vaccinated players can play with no exemptions and that would be fine with me but this was a public humiliation for djokovic and i don t think anyone deserves that, let alone someone who has said and lots of nice things about australia and won the title nine times in melbourne. won the title nine times in melbourne. ., . ., , won the title nine times in melbourne. ., .
final which happens later tonight. where is peng shuai? so we ll see what happens with that tonight. i ll be watching that very closely. and since you mentioned it, i have to ask you about the australian open. rafael nadal is heading to the men s final and one win away from becoming the winningest tennis player in the world. what does this moment mean, especially after all that has happened, and you and i have discussed. well, we thought it was going to be novak djokovic who has won this title nine times. then, of course, that saga which ended with djokovic being deported. so here comes rafael nadal who missed six months of last year with injury issues. he s missed a few opportunities to win majors, his 21st major. they re tied at 20. federer, nadal and djokovic. and now rafael nadal going for 21 in australia. but, kate, it s not going to be easy. he takes on medvedev who won the u.s. open, denied djokovic in
