It is being a very beautiful year for Carla Suarez after her return to the slopes, her appearance in the Grand Slam tournaments, her last Olympic adventure and her definitive withdrawal from the WTA circuit. We only have to know if she will dress short or not at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Prague, but first the Spanish enjoys this week of the newborn Tenerife WTA 250, where she is serving as ambassador this week and where she offered a press conference on Tuesday to discuss some current issues.
BJKC Finals
“I am preparing for it, although I know that my colleagues are more ready than I am. They have had a spectacular year, they are in much better shape than mine and they deserve to play this competition before me. Anyway, I’ll be ready in case the captain needs me, so I want to be ready. “
Life after tennis
“In the short term I would like to rest, disconnect a lot. They have been very difficult months, very hard, but not only because of that, I also come from many years in a row of racing, traveling non-stop, trying very hard, so now I want to rest my mind and body. Then I have some projects in mind for the future, hopefully they can gradually come to light. But in the short term, I just want to rest and disconnect ”.
Current moment of the WTA circuit
“For me, the women’s circuit right now is very interesting, there are different players with different styles, also from different countries. I very much agree with your statement, it is being one of the best seasons of the WTA in recent years. I think that for the fans it must be amazing, never knowing who is going to win a tournament, this makes it more exciting, that everyone enjoys the women’s circuit ”.
A 2021 full of emotions
“This year has been a gift for me, in 2020 I did not know if I would be able to play tennis again. I have been able to compete in the best tournaments in the world, such as the Grand Slam and the Olympic Games, so now the most important thing is that I am here and I have been able to enjoy it. The most important thing was never to win the tournaments, but to enjoy the road, each tournament, each match and each day on the tour. The feeling of going out to play in the Center Court of Wimbledon and feeling the love of the people is special, those moments are the ones that stay forever ”.
Sweet moment of our tennis
“We have never been a country with many players, but we have always had great players who have been able to win the Grand Slam or be number 1 in the world. Then there is always someone new, someone different who comes out, this is the case of Paula, who has evolved a lot and has had a great year. We have reasons to enjoy Spanish women’s tennis and we have great tournaments in Spain so that the fans can see us up close. That a tournament is played in Tenerife is super important for the youngest, I hope that we can continue betting on women’s tennis in our country so that they do not have to travel far and that they continue to excite us for the future ”.
