1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,280
Speaker 1: Right.

2
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 2: The Tiano tennis community is celebrating Lulusion's massive achievement at Wimbledon.

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 2: Lulu beat British start Emma Radicano in three sets overnight

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: to reach the Wimbledon quarter finals, the first key We

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: female to ever do so. And you'll know by now

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: Lulu grew up in Switzerland, but she was born in

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 2: Tiano and Tiano Tennis Club president Greg Shepherd is with me.

8
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: Now, good evening, good evening, how are we going.

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: I'm good. You guys were all together watching last night.

10
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: We had a fair crew last night. Yeah, it was

11
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: an epic evening. It was very exciting and very nerve wrecking.

12
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: She sent me put you through your paces, but that's

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: what all good sport does. It's a roller coaster. So

14
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: what was the atmosphere like when she won?

15
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was actually it was really good. It was

16
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: quite emotional. Actually there was a few tears she had

17
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: in the clubhouse there. But yeah, no, we're all just

18
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: super proud.

19
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 2: When did Lulu first join the club?

20
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: We well, the first official game Lulu played for the

21
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: tennis club was in twenty eighteen at their and Your

22
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: Distinction to Tennis Invitational. So we got her in to

23
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: do an exhibition match where she played Susie Lackin from

24
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: Great Britain. But before that we just used to provide

25
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: heading partners for her when she'd come back from overseas,

26
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: So that was from about the age of thirteen, and

27
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: she's now outgrown all of heir hitting partners based which

28
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: she's too pairful.

29
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: I was going to say, did it get to a

30
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: point when no one responded to the call out?

31
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, No, I wasn't fully enough to go. I was,

32
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: she would have killed me. But yeah, I know a

33
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: lot of the top top male players went out there

34
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: and came back with a tail between the leagues.

35
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: Fantastic. How much further do you reckon Lowly? Will get

36
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 2: up on Wooden?

37
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: Oh, she's going to go all the way looking at

38
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: a drawer. It just seems to be opening up for her.

39
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: I think she's done the tricky matches and I think

40
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: she's just she's well. She certainly got some tough games

41
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: ahead of her, but she's got a different style game

42
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: than the rest of the ladies in there, I believe,

43
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: and it's she's just got too much pair too much skill,

44
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: and she just seems so icy, calm and cool and

45
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: collected and nothing seems to face.

46
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: And hopefully not too exhausted yet.

47
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: No, no, she's just warming up, brilliant.

48
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: Have you been to sleep yet?

49
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, that all happened. That's probably going

50
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: to happen once win wood and finishes. I think the

51
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: phone's been ringing red hot today. I think we're the

52
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: would be one of the most famous tennis clubs in

53
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: the world at the moment, seems like it. Anyway.

54
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: If you expecting a few more sign ups this week,

55
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: a few more new.

56
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you never know. It's it's not the tennis season,

57
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: so it's tricky to tell, but yeah, you never know.

58
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: This could spur something, I hope.

59
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: So hey, you have a great week. Thank you so
