We finally made this happen. We've talked 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:43.120 about this for a long time. Normally we're separated by 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:47.000 a country, but we're finally in the same place at 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:47.479 the same time. 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:48.040 That's happening. 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:51.800 It's happening, and we do have to warn our listeners 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.480 today this is going to be totally freestyle, off script 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.480 because we were so busy, both of us, so in 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.560 our defense, we really have time. 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.280 With the hours and everything slightly. 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.280 I've been up since five o'clock this morning because we 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.839 did a show back in the UK, so it's now 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.240 it's now nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, so slightly delirious. 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.200 Right, So you were today ahead of me because I've 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.399 been waking up since am. So you were Why have 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.080 you been wakingup at six as because we've got a 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.280 seven am because you do a seven A yeah morning, 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:22.039 normally I'm not that early, but this morning it was 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.160 up at five am because we had to do a 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:28.040 show in the UK so for the evening morning. So 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.360 by this point everything's just a little bit fuzzy, but 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.520 fuzzy at this point, what about the beginning of the 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.920 tournament and we get there, because we want to talk 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.080 about the first week, but I hardly can remember or 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:41.920 anything because. 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:42.520 There was a little fog. 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.920 I don't know about you, but I did not see 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.760 clearly things in the first few days. Just crossing the 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.720 bridge from my from my whole hotel, walking to the side, 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:52.440 I struggled to walk straight, but you do. 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:53.960 So much better with the jedlights. No. 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:58.120 I nearly ran into the river Yarra because as I've 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.960 got holder, I decide to take content. I wear content 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.120 lenses and after a long flight and you're tied, your 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.360 eyes are a bit so when I run in the morning, 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.520 I don't use them because I don't want to see anybody. 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.239 I know where I'm going, but I had jet lag 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:11.600 and I nearly ran into the river. 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:14.720 What's advantage for you you are the least on the 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.200 right side of the river and streets here because you 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:18.840 guys drive the same in London. 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.079 But I think either side of the street falling into 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:21.600 the river is for. 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.440 The rest of Europe like it's it's you know, we 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.680 struggle to cross at the right time and then not 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:27.799 to get run over. 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:29.640 Just look for the little green person and you're going 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.640 to be fined or I have a country. 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.760 And honestly, the first few days I did struggle. 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.200 I think it's tough for everybody because we're all sort 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.400 of coming from different parts of the world and it's 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:42.920 completely upside down. And I think personally is like an 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.200 older jet leg probably gets a little bit harder. And 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.440 I don't sleep on planes, so when I got here, 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:48.760 I was sort of yeah. 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.000 But you go straight to your routunities, routines, you do 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:54.360 your morning grunts every day, you you do your avocado breakfast. 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.960 You are like so clean and healthy, and I feel 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:58.520 so guilty as. 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:00.720 You do, know, such a good job. 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.200 I think that the good weather makes you feel healthy, 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.360 doesn't it. If you're somewhere with it's snowy and cold, 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:06.880 you want potatoes and. 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.480 Pasta and just like, oh, but when you're here, you 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:10.280 think it's sunny. 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:11.960 So I'm going to have something green and I'm going 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.000 to go for a run and I'm going to be healthy. 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:15.160 So I try. 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:17.240 And when I'm at home, I have the children to 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.200 look after, so I always say to myself, right, you've 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.240 just got yourself to look after, so you have no 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.320 excuse not to go for the run. But I did 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.320 start wearing my contact lenses because nearly falling in the river. 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:31.640 Well you could have done for a nice swimming Jim career. 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.160 Wasn't the best start to the two weeks, I think. 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:35.480 So that's one thing I have changed. 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.280 You know, what are we going to do this week? 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.320 Because I was going to talk to you about nutritions 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.200 and because the kind of the focus of the Really 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.880 and podcast this season is on healthy lifestyle, longevity and stuff. 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.240 So what do we do both of us to carry 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.320 through the tough media weeks when the days are long 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.320 and it gets overwhelming tiring. 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:57.640 You don't drink coffee. 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.760 That's a huge advantage because I you have to say 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:05.960 during Grand Slams, I end up at times. 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.000 On forest presses today, So. 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.880 That that's a good thing because it keeps you not healthwise, 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:12.560 but it keeps you going through the tournaments. 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:14.360 It does, but I don't know how you did it 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:14.839 without the coss. 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.080 I've never drunk coffee, so I don't know, so it's 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:20.120 not I don't want people thinking I'm missing, especially in Melbourney, 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:22.600 and I've never drunk it. 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.040 I've never tried it. We have to get you on 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:26.520 this magic Melbourne. 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.040 No, I know that's really strong. Can you imagine someone 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.800 who's never tried coffee? If you give me one of those, 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:32.200 I'll fly. 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.280 You do know what it is? No? 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.760 Oh, it's a special coffee they only do in Melbourne, right, 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.440 not the rest of Australia. And it's a perfect combination 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.240 of what I like, which is a long espresso with 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:45.160 a little bit of ma kiato. 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.200 I think I'm talking to a different language. 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.479 Well, there is a little bit of Italian, so you 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:50.480 do have an excuse there. 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.280 So it's basically a little bit of foam milk cofee. 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:54.839 Your choice. I think you could do that. 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.240 But it is strong though, so if you're dorink one 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.560 in the morning, it carries you till the afternoon. 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.960 Interviews. Yeah, I would be I would be buzzing. I 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.560 don't think it would be you do tea right, No, 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:06.120 don't do tea at all. 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.880 But as I've never done them, I don't miss them, 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.239 so therefore I don't wake up. So I think maybe 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.200 my run is that so when I come to a tournament. 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:15.920 For me, it's very important to have routine when I'm 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:16.520 at a tournament. 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:19.000 So do you keep a routine when everything changes in 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:20.599 our job? 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:22.880 But I think when you're at a tournament, or Agan said, 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.080 you can have that routine. I will get up at 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.520 seven o'clock every morning, even if I've got to bed 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.800 at two or three, I will call home and then 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:31.960 I'll go for a run, and that is that sort 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.320 of sets me up for the day. However tired I 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.080 am apart from this morning because I got up at 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.160 five o'clock. That I just try and have a routine, 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.760 and I think that helps me, gives weirdly gives me energy. 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:45.800 It does help us. 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.440 I think we all agree, all the broadcasters, that the 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.840 more we exercise and the more active we stay even 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.480 though we are super tired, that helps us to get 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:54.200 through the tournament. 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.760 Yeah, and I think you need that because it's very 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.039 in a very good way. A grand slammer or tournament 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.599 is groundhog day. Eat, you get up and repeat, and 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.200 I eat similar things. I did similar things. I'm like 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.000 by day, I don't know what day we're on now, 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.040 fifteen sixteen seventeen. When we arrived, I'm so fed up 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.039 of what I'm eating, I'd say, I don't. 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:13.520 Want to Yeah, I don't want to see an I 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.600 don't want to see sushi and avocadom for. 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:16.360 One hundred percent. 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:18.520 I just I can't because every day I'm like, I'll 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.880 have the same thing, and that's worked, and you just 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:21.480 get into that. 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.160 It's sort of survival mode. 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.360 So I don't know if we're talking about health and 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.560 nutrition and will as, I don't know whether that's the 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:29.200 healthiest way to do it. 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.120 I definitely think, like you said, the routines help because 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:36.159 there are so many changes during the day with our job. 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.000 Well can you do this? Can you do that? Oh yeah, 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:43.440 So I think, well, you're playing, and you're a player. 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.000 The player was so much easier. 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.240 But now you're in the legends, in the mix and 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.800 the doubles, and then you're presenting here, you're doing there, 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.440 and you're doing that. I mean, you don't stop. I 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:56.400 have sort of downtime in the morning because we're working 0:06:56.400 --> 0:07:00.280 on UK hours, so normally a slower morning. But then 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.160 you're right, suddenly things go crazy and you find yourself 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.480 twelve hours later sort of spat out the other end. 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:07.320 And you're like, I don't know where I am. I 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:08.200 don't know what's going on. 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.440 So I've also started taking vitamins as I get older. 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.680 I never used to take them, but now I find 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.520 they're very useful. And I know different ones for different people, 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.720 but I've become quite religious and I will take them. 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:24.120 Maybe it's a placebo effect, maybe I think it's making 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.840 me feel better, but hey, whatever, whatever works. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:27.520 Yes, exactly. 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.280 And how about the tiredness we feel after the grass 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:33.360 like again talking. 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.200 About fog, like first two three days when we come 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.800 back home. I've never ever as a player been so 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:40.560 tired coming home. 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.240 And I mentioned with you it's all the so hang on. 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.520 You're more tired as a player or media when you media, 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:47.120 by far. 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:49.720 Because as a player, you actually have the day of 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.200 you can walk down the Fifth Avenue in New York, 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.040 or go to Central Park or have a nice walk 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:55.800 here by the river. 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:58.560 When do we get to do that? 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.440 And it's that constant for because because everything's live, so 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.360 you shouldn't really be doing too many mistakes, even though 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:08.880 we not not you, but especially you know the language stuff. 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.320 You know, when you around a twelve hour like Slovak 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.560 War start to kick in the time you. 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.120 Did Wimbledon in German last year, I don't even know 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:16.920 how that happened. 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.040 I was like, you said, yeah, I'm working for German. 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:23.240 I was like, I mean, I mean the concentration, the focus, 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.760 the tiders and the notemaking. You come into a Grand 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:29.840 Slam there are players everywhere, and the notemaking by by 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:31.440 this day, I'm like, oh, I'm making my note. I 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:33.480 know there's only two players. I'm making notes on day, 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.079 but you're getting to that point that I can't do 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.439 it anymore. Yeah, I don't make any more notes any more. 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:37.800 Facts. 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:39.680 I know a lot of it's stored in there because 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.240 you've seen a lot of them. But oh, you're you're broken. 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.520 I'm largely broken when I leave a Grand Slam. I 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:46.960 think that just sounds a bit dramatic. 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.559 No, but I do have to say that I've been 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:53.839 so lucky and blessed to be around you, Annabelle, and 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:58.400 just because as we know, I've done so much stuff 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.120 in London to be around you guys, as far as 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:04.400 work ethic and how you prepare, how do they day? 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:08.360 How would you prepare for a day Australian notewise. 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:09.920 I have to say it has changed a lot of 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.040 thanks to you, because you know, when you come off 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.439 from the tour as a player, you kind of feel, oh, 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.040 you know, I've seen it all, I know what I'm 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.440 talking about, and then I see you, you know, sitting 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.200 down writing the notes and as you can see now, 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.679 most of the time, if I have the chance, I 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.360 like to come prepared so then we can be as 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:31.640 spontaneous as possible. It's definitely the preparation that gives you 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:35.480 the confidence which I learned thanks to you. I realized that, 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:37.800 oh my gosh, you guys have been around in the 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:41.400 business so many more years than me. Why would I 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.679 think I would just get away with a You know, 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.800 I know these players, I've played against most of them, 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.480 and they know me. So I was very lucky to 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.679 kind of have the British school of media, if we 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:54.800 can call it that way. 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.160 And you worked really hard. You worked really hard with 0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.839 on your voice as well. You said you were very 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.760 just when you were working in the UK that the 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:06.760 sound was. I mean, that's all. But that's a massive thing, 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:08.880 isn't it. Because you wanted to be the best you 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.000 could be. And some people again would have said, but 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:12.600 I'm a form player and I'm from here, so you're 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.559 just going to take it and this is me. But 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.640 you actually really wanted to hone your craft, which not 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:18.560 everyone does. 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:20.200 Yeah, that's true. 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:24.880 I just never forget my first British class when we 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:29.680 were discussing potato potato morning, I felt like, oh my gosh, 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:31.880 like that is so not going to be me. 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:38.800 So actually it's like potato potato. You sounded I don't 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.280 know who you sounded, but Irish, but it was good. 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:44.640 I'm like, oh my gosh, like this is so not 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:50.160 the mean potato potato like a good morning mother. I 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.520 just felt like I constantly kept laughing because I just 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:54.400 couldn't believe that. 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.800 Good morning mother and potato, potato and tomato. 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.040 When you learn a new language, you learn to buy 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:07.120 a return ticket, to make a reservation to go to 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.520 the museum and can you show me away showing the 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:10.360 way to the souper end. 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:13.600 That the book is under table? Yeah, oh wow, Yeah, 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:15.960 I'm next to the table. 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:21.920 Is that the British lesson again? Yeah, British, German, Italian, Yeah. 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.680 I never I've never heard about the book, but it's 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:27.800 but again, in all seriousness, it shows your dedication for 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:29.600 wanting to get it right. Because a lot of people, 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:33.160 not just sport, but if they come from acting, sport, whatever, 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.400 they just say, well, this is me, and you've hired 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.080 me because I'm me, and I will just be me. 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.360 But you wanted to kind of be the best you 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.400 could be. And I really admire that because you didn't 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.120 have you could just sit down with no notes and 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.120 say I played her five times and this is what 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.080 she can do, and there's her strengths and there's her weaknesses, 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.079 and that's it, and it would have been fine. Everyone 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.560 would have thought that's great because you as a form 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.440 well number five are giving your view, but you were 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:02.040 very conscious of wanting to perfect your trade in this profession. 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.800 I just feel like I appreciated the opportunities, but I 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:09.720 felt like coming from from the tour, maybe the name 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:13.000 opens you the door, but then you just have to 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:14.760 do the work, just like with everything else. 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.560 I felt, yeah, because there'll always be other people coming through, 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.439 other people retiring and maybe they with the full well 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:24.120 nun before the three. So I absolutely understand that some 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.800 people won't do that because they don't feel they need to. 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.240 But I know I really admire that. As I said, 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.760 when you said look again the voice, the accent, I 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:34.640 just thought you didn't need to, but you were put 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.440 in that in which that was really good. 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:40.120 Well again, it's you know, thanks to you. I never 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:41.480 said you potato potassa. 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.480 Well it's not that, but I did manage to trop 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:51.520 you off the rhythm a couple of times when we 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:57.000 did the Rolangaa's Life, when let's just say we were 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.839 supposed to make predictions maybe twenty five minutes into the 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:02.880 half and basically. 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.480 The whole final of Rossy. The whole point was to 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.080 make that build up and I. 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.520 Planned it for hours, this wonderful show that would weave 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.640 its way to a path and the final couple of 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:14.800 minutes the players are about to come out, say Danny, 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.400 what's your prediction for the final? And two minutes in 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:19.360 he said, well, never, your c is going to win. 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.320 Its like great, otherwise it would be tweeted for you. 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:26.560 Well, I mean, okay, you're such a professional, you'll look 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:28.760 so I said, great. 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:29.400 You gave me the look. 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.400 I was like, let's analyze his opponent, who's going to lose, 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:33.840 but let's talk about how he can win. 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:35.640 He's not going to win because you said he's going 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:36.120 to lose. 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:40.800 I guess another part of Live TV, isn't it It's 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.440 it's adapting because anything can happen at any time. I 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:45.960 mean some of the things we've talked about in there 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:50.280 this week, we were talking about reindeer balls and warts 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.679 and you just go down roads and you have to. 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.080 Well, we talked about half an hour trying to convince 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.720 someone that avocado is actually a good thing. But it 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:02.160 is I mean, I mean not be even a yeah, 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.240 and that is right, And I think that was they. 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:09.240 Need they need to know. So let's just clarify avocado 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.000 and it's good for you. If we're talking health and 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.400 fitness and well being. You know what. 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.439 I just came up with the with our little logo, 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:21.280 it should be avocado, and it was longevity. It's good, lifestyle, 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:25.720 it's health, it's squishy. But it's like, yeah, hey, we 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:29.320 said we were like this kind of a situation here, 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.280 so just to be a little bit more creative. 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:31.960 I think we had no avocado. 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:35.680 People think expect us talk about food a lot, and well. 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.680 I do want to talk a little bit about especially 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.040 when we'll be in Indian Wells or Roland Garros. 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:40.920 We don't kind of. 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.320 I think he used the experience of you know, we 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.440 traveled so much of the world, and as the tennis players, 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.720 we are quite picky where we eat. 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:50.520 What did you eat? What was your pretty much meal? 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.560 It depends where it changed over the years. It did 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:55.520 change here. 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.920 Yeah, here was actually the first time actually had a 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.480 smashed avocado on a toss. I was like, I felt 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.840 like I was killing it, like you January, I'm having 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:06.800 a toss with avocado, like I've. 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.400 Made it big time. Doesn't matter whether I win here 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:09.760 or not. 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.160 That was that was big in the in the old 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:14.440 players lounge. 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:16.800 Oh my gosh, how much it has changed. 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:18.920 I have to say this is probably the tournament with 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:20.200 one of the best food. 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:21.800 The variety you go. 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:25.240 I mean what we've got now three floors pretty much 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:29.040 of different choices, starting on the ground level of it, 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:35.720 incredible coffee, snacks, fruits, kind of a breakfast situation. Then 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:40.000 the main player restaurant. I mean anything you can imagine, 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.440 like if you don't find something you need. 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:44.280 It's amazing. 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.280 Yeah, they cater and they need to kate well for 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.440 you guys, your athletes, you need to be And I 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.200 have to say, from media point of view, this is 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.040 the best thing. If I think across the slams, I'm 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.160 not gonna I'm not gonna name and shame, but I 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.480 would say here it's it's really good because you can 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:01.960 have some and they give you some money on your accreditations. 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.400 It's a limited amount, which really helps if you're doing 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:08.160 really long hours. But you can get healthy snacks. There's 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.840 healthy drinks, there's healthy food, there's salads. Yeah, you can 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.160 have chips and pizza if you want you want to, 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.200 but it's easy to stay healthy. 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:16.720 And in the in the media rooms. 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.280 So I'm sometimes in the radio room in the evening 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:21.160 head of the night session, they bring around a basket 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:25.200 of ice creams. That's cool, Well, it is cool, but 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.360 on day fifteen, when you've said yes every day, it's 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.480 not cool. So I have to actually leave before they 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.680 come around because I can't say no. Someone's offering you 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.640 an ice cream. I mean I know, I actually know 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:38.640 your will pow is good. I can't say no. So 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:40.760 I have to make sure because it's an ice cream 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:42.320 and I want to eat it. 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.160 So I can't believe I'm laughing because I'm actually people 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.240 that really know me well, I don't say no to 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.360 ice cream, but in summer like holidays. 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.440 To me, ice cream is holidays. But it's an echo. 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:55.480 Like when I'm working, I don't see ice cream anywhere 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:59.480 near meal, but when it's when passed you after dinner, 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:01.920 you are or you need to. 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.320 Not not the tournaments, but someone walks past you and 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:08.480 you're sat at your desk and they see Johns and 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:10.800 ice cream just say yes. I mean, it's automatic reaction. 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.399 So I've had to make sure that I'm normally in 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.560 the contours. But I have to make sure if I 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.080 see her coming, I run to the toilet because I 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:20.040 have zero willpower. 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:21.520 We're going to teach you to say no. Yeah, I 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:25.679
