I get dropped off and turn around and come back no chance, I have tried, so. I have a parking pass for here, but I cannot park anywhere near anywhere the sites and I can't drive into the Village. GIGI FERNANDEZ: No, I can't drive my car into the Village. We can't even drive our car down to where the buses are. GIGI FERNANDEZ: I guess they are so safe. MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: I don't think so, no, we are far away from where it happened, so. Do you think there they should have been postponed even or. It is terrible a shame we have to do that because in a way you feel like it should stop, but if you stop then it gives - that is what they want you can't let them win, so to speak, so the games have to go on. And, you know, we are all professionals, so we go on the court you just have to block it out. You know, put it behind you and concentrate on your match. NBC was standing there when we came in, she had said she couldn't believe it. Do you think it might have affected her differently? Could you tell us any type of change in Monica? Did you all talk with Monica this morning? MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: We got here - we stayed here last night. Did you notice the change this morning among the other athletes, interacting with any of them? MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: I stay in the Village the nights I don't have to play the next day. I might move into the Village now because I am not staying there. It is impossible - it is like - nobody is - even the - I just think that it has happened in a public space and didn't happen in a place where there was any kind of security, so. GIGI FERNANDEZ: I think that is the safest place. MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: I think they feel pretty safe. Do you know if there has been any consideration to any of the athletes moving out of the Village? Best of a first round crowd we have ever had. When we got here, it was somber, the security guards and everybody was quiet, and - but I think once we got on the court, it was great. MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: There was a great atmosphere out there. Did you notice any difference in the atmosphere out there once you got on the court? Got into the games and kind of tried to forget about it for our match.
#GIGI FERNANDEZ GOLF TV#
We put the volume on in the locker room - our TV in the place had everything and we had to concentrate on the match, so we turned it off. So during the warmup, I was thinking about it, and the fact that we could change the TV and not listen, not hear it all the time. GIGI FERNANDEZ: I think that it helped that it rained because instead of starting at 10:00 we started at 1:00, and we had - you know, we found out like 7:30 quarter of 8:00 this morning. You know, you feel a little bit scared and sad for the victims, but, you know, once we got out there, we focused and just played the tennis match.
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: It was hard this morning. How difficult was that to set aside for your task at hand on the court? MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: I heard about it this morning when I woke up saw it is on the news.
That is the only thing that we have been told. The only thing we got on our beepers is that we can't bring any visitors into the village today. Could you tell us if the athletes were given a special briefing early this morning in the wake of what happened last night?
