Gabriela Sabatini: nueva vida en Suiza y el recuerdo de su temida rival Arantxa Sánchez Vicario

It is possible to see the photographs without giving credit. Can you really be fifty years old? Gabriela Sabatini, indeed, has fulfilled this sábado medio siglo that is full of projects, content in Suiza, her new home, and dándole vueltas to the proposition of attempting to perform as an actress. During an interview with LOC in Miami, where she is currently residing in the midst of the crisis caused by the coronavirus, the Argentine woman named “Y espero poder seguir llevando la vida que llevo, poder seguir viajando” expressed in her statements.

What is the procedure that was followed in Miami?
As a result of the fact that I normally arrive in Miami in March for the tournament, I found myself in Miami in April. I was already in Suiza at that point. Tenía un pasaje reservado para ir a Suiza, pero se cerraron todas las fronteras, no salía ningún vuelo, and given the conditions, I did not want to expose myself to the possibility of traveling in that situation, and I said, “It would be better for me to have a department.” I am hoping that the situation will change and that the borders will be opened up; furthermore, I am waiting for that moment to arrive so that I might be able to express myself.
Arrived at the age of fifty. To what are you thinking? To what extent does this age take pleasure in, support, inspire, and motivate you?
Every time I count the years, I am very certain that that particular day does not bring about any changes in my life. When she reaches the age of fifty, she begins to contemplate or make plans at various points in her life, but not precisely when she reaches that age. Obviously, this is an age that does not go unnoticed, but I am feeling very well, my health is good, and I am a grateful person. I am thankful that I have been given the opportunity to live the life that I have, and I am thankful that I have arrived at this point in my life. I think about this all the time, and it’s not that I’m going to take a break to think about it because I’ve reached the age of fifty.
Currently residing in Suiza, he spends a portion of the year in Miami and Buenos Aires, and he is a member of a family that is dispersed over the globe. What were the circumstances that unfolded over those weeks that were so unsettling, which included the news that his sister Oriana had become infected with the virus?
We were required to first listen to the instructions, then begin to take responsibility for our actions, and finally, we were allowed to return home. What a change that was for everyone. As luck would have it, technology as a means of communication is of great assistance. In the case of Oriana, we were all left in a state of great tranquility because we were aware that she always behaved well. Knowing this has always provided us with a sense of peace. On the other hand, the circumstance is challenging for a large number of individuals who are experiencing difficulties, who are currently without employment, and who are uncertain about what they will do in the future. Having no idea when this situation will come to an end is the most difficult aspect of the situation.
A great number of people have the fantasy that, as they live in Switzerland, they are able to spend every two months with Roger Federer….
– Is that correct, right? As if it were so simple… (ríe in Spanish). One time, we found ourselves in the streets of the central district of Zurich, and it was a completely unplanned occurrence. However, it did happen. While I was walking along the Banhofstrasse, which is the most important street in the city, I noticed that he was there with his wife and their several children. This has been going on for a few years now. Since we are always in contact with one another. My home was where I was staying when I traveled to Buenos Aires. To tell you the truth, I admire you a great deal.
It was said that at some point in time, he was able to take a cup of tea with Mirka, who returned the warmth that he had experienced in Buenos Aires.
One time, they invited me to come to their house, but I was unable to go. I had the opportunity to dine with Roger on a few occasions, during the time that he was in New York for the exhibition. Additionally, he was also there in Miami, with Mary Joe (Fernández) and his spouse, whom I have known for a considerable amount of time.
In the podcast hosted by Alex Corretja and Javier Frana, it was stated that at certain points in their career, they would prefer to lose in the semifinals in order to avoid the pressure of competing in the final and having to talk to the press. How serious was that situation, when did it occur, and how did it be resolved?
Yes, it was more during the initial phase, when I was transitioning from the junior to the professional level and a couple of years later. A few words were spoken in English, but I did not feel comfortable with it. Aside from that, I was extremely timid, extremely timid. I am in agreement with the statement that I tell “yes” and “no” in the interviews. It was quite difficult for me to express myself. There were several occasions when I was playing the game, and someone would come up to me and say, “Uh, if I make it to the final, I’ll have to talk about it.” After that, I would sometimes be constrained to speak a little bit. Fortunately, it did not last for that long. At a particular point in time, the desire to win the tournament became more intense as a result of the beginning of the process of maturing and growing. However, the times when I was most comfortable were never when I was standing in front of a microphone.
As soon as you catch a glimpse of Martina Navratilova performing in a series like The Politician, do you feel surprised? As for me, I would like to do the same thing, as well, if you don’t mind.
I was just informed the other day that she had acted, and although I did not know or had any idea what she was doing, they told me that she was doing very well. Una vez, I have been offered the opportunity to create a series, and I am currently in the process of doing so. In the event that the conditions are met, if I am feeling comfortable…
Is it a series of fiction or a series that is more closely connected to tennis and the protagonist’s life?
Even more so on me, even more so on me. Indeed, I was the one who proposed it. It is time to go.
Is there a player that would be willing to go to great lengths to cross the surface of the track, but would also be willing to go outside?
Contrary to popular belief, I am the truth that I have always been a person who lives in the midst of competition and conflict, but I am perfectly content when I am outside of the arena. Due to the fact that Arantxa (Sánchez Vicario) was a player with a difficult mentality, it was a difficult game for me to play against her. She was a player who had a difficult mentality, and she was a player who fought until the very end. It was a game in which everything was a struggle, and she was a player who was difficult to play against. The cost of jugarle was also incurred by myself, Monica Seles. Within the confines of the cancha, I have always had a really positive relationship with everyone.
In the next ten years, there are three things that are on an individual’s mind and that they would like to do. We will send you the checks when you reach sixty…
The word “jajajaja” Continuar llevando la vida que llevo, in addition to having the ability to continue traveling and visiting places that I had not previously been able to visit, such as India or Marruecos. On the other hand, there is nothing very concrete that I say I want to comply with.
