Which tennis professionals do you know?
Judith: Serena, Nadal, Federer, Björn Borg, Ymer, Mats Wilander, Djokovic, Schwartzman, Thiem, Venus, Naomi, Mirjam Björklund, Victoria Azarenka, Alycia Parks, Tsisipas, Medvedev, Zverev.
Who are your favourites and why?
Vega: Serena and Nadal. Serena I think is cool and I like that she does "come on" and she seems very nice and she likes fashion like me. I like that Nadal plays left handed even though he is right handed. Then he is cool by himself, kind, funny and mischievous.
Judith: Serena because she is popular, trains hard, is very good, kind, funny, and pretty. Nadal because he's also popular, he's kind of like Serena, has the best topspin in the world, he's a very good player, he's nice. Seems very nice and funny. Federer, popular, very good player but I want to see him play more because he's been injured all 2020 so I haven't seen him play much. Looking forward to 2021 when I hope to see him play.
What are you looking forward to at the Australian Open?
Judith: Good matches, unfortunately Federer is not there. Seeing Nadal face Thiem or Djokovic. Seeing Serena face some great player. And then I really hope to see Ymer play.
Vega: I'm looking forward to the final. And Nadal and Serena. And hope Serena wins!
