1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Here at two Good Sports, we would like to acknowledge

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: the traditional owners of the land on which we record

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: this podcast. There were innerie people. This land was never seated,

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: always was always will be chow or as the people

5
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: say in Croatia, where I have also been, Hi and

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: welcome to sports sports news told differently.

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: Guess what it's me.

8
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 3: I'm Georgie Toney Yay.

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 4: And I'm Abby Jelmy, who essentially behaved like a jack

10
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 4: rustle when someone got home today.

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: When I saw Georgie, I was so overwhelmed. I was

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: spinning in circles, just running laps, just didn't know quite

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: what to do with myself. Because you've returned.

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: I have returned a tinge of brown after months months.

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, I think. But that's really lovely of

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: you to say that.

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: Thank you.

18
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: I do believe Jeremy's words to me this morning were

19
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: you look well so the rest of our friendship. I

20
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 1: must have looked like a half dead corpse. But that's okay,

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: that's okay. You just need five weeks in the Italian

22
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,559
Speaker 1: sun and then everything is healed.

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: Give us a good sport about the trip, Oh.

24
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 5: My gosh, good sport about the trip.

25
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: I have to have to give a round of applause

26
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: to a very very unique thought, which is that Sicily is.

27
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: Real nice, really recognice. I think I'm actually you.

28
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 4: Discovered a little known place I think.

29
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 3: I have, I think I have.

30
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, I expect big things for that place, especially

31
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: a place called Talmina. I think it was in a

32
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: show called The White Lotus. But anyway, loved it, absolutely

33
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: loved it.

34
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 5: Every the people were lovely in Italy.

35
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: The food actually my biggest good sport, just to pasta,

36
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: whether it be or a keaty, whether it be to aloney,

37
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: whether it be just spaghetti.

38
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: They call it the city of Love. You fell in

39
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: love with.

40
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: Calves honestly every single meal, every single meal and involved

41
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: some kind of carb.

42
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: And it was the best of time.

43
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: No one ever goes and goes, oh it was underwhelming.

44
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 2: Oh didn't love it? Yeah, never didn't love it.

45
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: Never.

46
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: It was so incredible, so incredible, very fortunate that I

47
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: had an amazing time and I survived the thirty hours

48
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: of transit back to.

49
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 4: Me and I still managed to watch the Brisbane Lions

50
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 4: win I did, and the Panthers win again again again again.

51
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: I did, And this is going to be the most

52
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: obscene sentence I may have said in my entire life.

53
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: But I watched the Brisbane Lions or win the flag,

54
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: which I predicted two months ago on this podcast.

55
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: Go back check the tape you did I did?

56
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: I did.

57
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 5: Remember I said I don't believe in anyone, therefore they're

58
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 5: gonna win, and they did.

59
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: But I watched them win the flag in Lake Como

60
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: with George Clooney.

61
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: He was somewhere. It wasn't with me.

62
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

63
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 4: So the problem with you is that you actually interview

64
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 4: people like George Clooney. So I just thought, did you

65
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 4: actually find George Clooney?

66
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: He was around, he was around.

67
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: The energy was there, Yeah, the energy was there.

68
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: The energy was there, and it was the greatest I

69
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: watched the Panthers game.

70
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: I think it was. It was.

71
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: I was on my way to Milan the Panthers Storm game,

72
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: and yeah, I was with Robert, who was a massive

73
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: Storm fan.

74
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 3: So it was a sad train trip.

75
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: We kind of kept losing signals, so we'd be there

76
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 1: and he'd be like Stormer in front, and then we'd

77
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: come back. And that was early, early, early, early, and

78
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: then I was like every now and then we'd come

79
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: back in.

80
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: I was like, it's not looking good.

81
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 4: Oh George, you've missed her so much. From the beautiful

82
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 4: city of Melbourne. It's glorious weather.

83
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: As you noticed.

84
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 4: I don't have a teen because none of me has

85
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 4: seen the sun ever. But I will start off with

86
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 4: my good sport being Laura Sperway and the way that

87
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: she pulled through in your absence.

88
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: But also she's just a gun.

89
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 4: She's an apprad gun, so again on the AFLW yesterday,

90
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 4: her knowledge is amazing.

91
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 3: She's an encyclopedia and she.

92
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 4: Worked on the project as well before she worked at seven,

93
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 4: so she's basically a hybrid of us.

94
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: Yes, but she's just a rock star.

95
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 4: And were so grateful for her literally moving around her

96
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 4: schedule when she was in different states to cover from

97
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 4: grand finals in order to come in.

98
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: We love Laura.

99
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: It was herculean and it really was not gone unnoticed.

100
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: And thank you very very much, Laura. We so appreciate it,

101
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: and you were freaking amazing. The goodest of sports, the

102
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: goodest of sports, the goodest of sports.

103
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 3: Jellmy, we have so much to get through.

104
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: Today because another very very good sport, one of our

105
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: all time favorites, I think it is fair to say

106
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: is our main discussion of today's episode, and that is

107
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: mister Raphael Nadal, who broke our hearts and I'm going

108
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: to say the world's hearts recently by announcing that all

109
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: good things actually.

110
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 3: Do have to come to an end.

111
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: And he's retiring the least surprising sports retirement perhaps in history.

112
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: And if there was part of me though that thought

113
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: that he was an X man and we actually we're

114
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: going to see him playing.

115
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were going to see him play till he

116
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 5: was ninety two.

117
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 3: I thought it could be possible.

118
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: Do you know what the saddest thing is, I was like,

119
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: what retirement has hit me more? Ever? Feders?

120
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 4: Oh god, So even in retirement, he's still he's on

121
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 4: the podium, but fed still got him. But we're going

122
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 4: to talk about of course, rafaun Adhal. We are still

123
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 4: going to see him. He's going to play at the

124
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 4: Davis Cup in Malaga in Spain.

125
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 2: So it's this beautiful full circle because of course.

126
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 4: Spain and Spanish tennis will never be the same after

127
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 4: Rafa and his career that has spanned three decades.

128
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: It is just remarkable.

129
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: But we're going to get to all the stats, why

130
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 4: we love him and our memories of Rafa and Adhal.

131
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 4: In a very too good sports tribute coming.

132
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 3: Up, tell me, where does one begin with a poem?

133
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 5: Apparently, spoiler, you're correct, it is with a poem.

134
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: In the most too good sports tribute to Rafael Nadal,

135
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: I have donned my pin. It is a clickie pen,

136
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: because that's my favorite type of pen. But I digress this.

137
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: Here's a few little words. Fiddle stanzas that I have

138
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: dubbed an ode to Raphael n is for never say die.

139
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: At thirty eight years of age, his body finally said

140
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: enough because we all know his brain and his heart.

141
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: Never would A is for ass crack.

142
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: Because his name.

143
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 5: I couldn't call him what all never has nor will again.

144
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 5: The tennis world sees such expert wedgie picking in.

145
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 3: Such high definition.

146
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: Rhythmic d is for distractingly neat. Watching a raffa timeout

147
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: is like watching a military drill. The discipline with which

148
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: he selects what water bottle to drink from and why

149
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: and in what order, and the placement of them back

150
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: upon the court was more precise than the Beijing opening

151
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: ceremony in two thousand and eight fun fact he won

152
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: gold at that game's coincidence. A is for arm, namely

153
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: his left one. That limb is a beast triple the

154
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: size of the right. It's a wonder he continues to

155
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: be allowed through airport security with such a weapon.

156
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: A mudcrab, if you will.

157
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: L is for loss to the game of sport and

158
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: sue our lives. But that's actually too sad to think about,

159
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: so instead I'll say L is for legacy. Nadah was

160
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: Tennis's raging bull, stampeding his way to immortality, but he

161
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: will continue to be like his good pal Roger, the

162
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: ultimate sportsman, showing as possible to win with humility and

163
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: carve a classy path for the next generation.

164
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 3: Just ask Carlos al Karrez.

165
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: We love. Oh there were highs and lows there.

166
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: There. I've got a question was asked, crack the high

167
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: because the wedgie picking and the eyebrows.

168
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 4: Eyebrow, But but back to eyebrow, where you picking the balls?

169
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 5: How many times he was bouncing the ball?

170
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: It was mesmerizing, it really was.

171
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 4: But you speak of Carlos Alkaraz, and we're going to

172
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 4: get into a little bit of the stats around raph

173
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 4: and Odal and why he basically broke math.

174
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: Yes, in his history, he's the.

175
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 4: Only player to be world number one across three decades.

176
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 3: Mental think about that. I can't.

177
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: I can't in the time of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic,

178
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: Andy Murray as well.

179
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: I'm going to count him in there.

180
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 2: Oh, that's cute. It's a big three. It's a big three.

181
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: No metal. I love Andy Murray, but there ain't no

182
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 2: metal for four.

183
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 4: When you think about stats in tennis, those three figures

184
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 4: have broken the system.

185
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 3: Yes, in men's tennis.

186
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 4: In men's tennis, absolutely, Serena, we see you and welcome

187
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 4: to the table. But before the Big three, you had

188
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 4: the names like Pete Sampras who'd won fourteen Grands. Yes,

189
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 4: and he was the god Rafa one fourteen just at

190
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 4: the French Open.

191
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: I still actually don't quite believe it. I mean, fourteen years.

192
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: Imagine that's that's half of our lives.

193
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 3: Fourteen years. Imagine if we of our lives just winning

194
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: Grand Slams, for sure.

195
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 4: But remove Clay from his twenty two and he still

196
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 4: has the same number of Grand Grand Slams as Andre Agassi.

197
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: And Jimmy Connors. He can't he can't, so I think.

198
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 4: Like, don't get me wrong, he is the king of clay, yes,

199
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 4: but sometimes we can simplify Rafa to just being a

200
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 4: clay court specialist, yes, which he was, but he also

201
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 4: lost four Grand Slams to Federer, yeah, and four Grand

202
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 4: Slams to Djokovic. So can you imagine if all of

203
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 4: these three weren't trying to dine out at the same time.

204
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: And twenty two Grand Slams in total, fourteen of which

205
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: yes on clay. However, what made him so specially you're right,

206
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: Jelmy is actually his ability to play across the courts. Yeah,

207
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: he was so good at hard court as well. When

208
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: he broke through and won his Wimbledon, his first Wimbledon,

209
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: I think that was when the tennis world took him very,

210
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: very seriously, and it's like they should have been taking

211
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: him seriously far beyond that, but that was the moment

212
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: when everyone went tip the hat, yes.

213
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: Yes, you are not just a clay court specialist.

214
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 4: But of course Wimbledon is a mere three weeks after

215
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 4: the French and it's like someone the difference between the

216
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 4: clay and the grass.

217
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 2: To win both is just unbelievable.

218
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 3: It's crazy. And yes we know him as the king

219
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 3: of clay.

220
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: And also I do want to point out just how

221
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: difficult it is to win clay, namely because you have

222
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: to beat Rafae on the dal in the.

223
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 3: French Open and the Europeans.

224
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, but Novak Djokovic, in his illustrious career, has

225
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: only won three French Opens.

226
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 3: Roger Federer, what do.

227
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: You know why?

228
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 4: Rafa was there saying can someone hold my bag or

229
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 4: my drink bottle in this particular order please, because I'm

230
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 4: about to get to work.

231
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 2: But you speak about that.

232
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 4: So before he won his first French Open in two

233
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 4: thousand and five, a then seventeen year old Nadal came

234
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 4: head to head with Andy Roddick.

235
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 6: The dumbest thing I've ever felt in my life was

236
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 6: happiness because imagine this statement. The happiness that I felt

237
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 6: because they subbed in Rafa Nadal to play against me

238
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 6: on clay, the single dumbest thing I've ever felt. And

239
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 6: going into that, I'm like, oh, yeah, he could. You know,

240
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 6: he could grind out. He's gonna be good. I walked

241
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 6: off of that court that day, had a chance in

242
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 6: the third set, missed a passing shot by quarter of

243
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 6: an inch. You know, you look down, you circle the mark,

244
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 6: do the whole thing. Let a third set breaker get away,

245
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 6: and this kid in the fourth set closed the coffin

246
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 6: on me. I lost it six two and third. I

247
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 6: was two in the world at the time. I walked

248
00:11:55,160 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 6: off of that court and I said, Planet Earth, that

249
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 6: tennis Earth has a fucking problem.

250
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: Just andy on it going.

251
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 4: I don't like this kid that I was happy to

252
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 4: come out, just absolutely made.

253
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: A mockery of me.

254
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 4: We got a problem because this kid's going to be

255
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 4: around for a while.

256
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: And he was seventeen.

257
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 4: And I think the thing about Nadal when he first

258
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 4: came on the scene, and bizarrely, we all remember when

259
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 4: he first came on the scene because he was so

260
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 4: good from so young. Yes, was he was quite shy

261
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 4: and this humble champion, And I think he eventually grew

262
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 4: into himself.

263
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: Yes, And I think it was one of those moments

264
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: where I'll always remember his arms first, because when he

265
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: came out as a seventeen year old, he wore the

266
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: sleeveless singlets, right, and he looked so cute.

267
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: How old were you twelve? Oh young, You're so young.

268
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 3: So it's okay.

269
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 5: It's allowed, it's allowed.

270
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: But also because he didn't speak that much English Wish

271
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: at the start of his career, and so I think

272
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: he was just naturally very shy anyway. But then when

273
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: it came to the postmatch interviews, we couldn't really see

274
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: too much of his personality because he was very focused

275
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: and he was trying to obviously translate everything into English.

276
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 3: Of course, so that he could come across. Yes, you

277
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: get the far bro. He's like, he's thinking, he's thinking,

278
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 3: so yes.

279
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: After the coffin clothing that happened to Andy Roddick, I

280
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: still didn't really know anything about him. He was an

281
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: unknown name here in Australia. He was taking on our

282
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: latent and you have to remember early two thousands, Laton

283
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: here was like number three in the world. He was

284
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: favorite for the Australian Open.

285
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: Hat's foot backwards everywhere.

286
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of come on, yeah, the come on.

287
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: And he made the final in two thousand and five

288
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: Layton here, that's how good form that he was in.

289
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: But on his way there he had a five set,

290
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: four hour epic with a teenager named Rafael Nadal and

291
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: I was like, who is this guy?

292
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 3: Why is he so good.

293
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: Why is he making Layton he would run around so much?

294
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: Why why is he able to do that to one

295
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: of our greats? And it was because we could see

296
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: just the incredible skill from that young age. And then

297
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: a couple of months later he went on to win

298
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: his first Grand Slam.

299
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 4: And the Australian Open was by far his worst slam. Yeah,

300
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 4: oh yes it was. He didn't love playing in Australia,

301
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 4: not like Novak, who basically is like hi, honey, welcome home.

302
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 4: It was one of those ones where he really in

303
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 4: twenty twenty two, that's one of my favorite memories because

304
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 4: he had no right. He came in with very little form.

305
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 4: But because it was Nadal, we all vamosarappa, we were

306
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 4: all on board and there's just those wins. And I

307
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 4: do think if not for Roger Federer, and we have

308
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 4: to talk about that romance because it was one of

309
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 4: the most enticing.

310
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 2: You couldn't not love them.

311
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 4: But the only reason why Nadal's not everyone's favorite athlete is.

312
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 2: Because he was in the same time as Roger.

313
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: I am on the record as sleeping on Nadal despite

314
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: me seeing him play at Layton Hewitt. In terms of

315
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: my love for Nadal. I refuse to like him for

316
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: the first five years of his career because he beat

317
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: Roger Federer at every single turn, and Roger Federer was.

318
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 5: My idol, and I was like, how dare how dare

319
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 5: you Rafa?

320
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: And I refuse to look at his incredible top spin.

321
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: I refuse to look at his insane forehand.

322
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: And the fact he's the lefties. So that's the thing

323
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: he'll never be.

324
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 4: He won't be replicated by other players because you have

325
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 4: to be left handed to start with.

326
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: He had so many weapons in his arsenal. And also

327
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: I would say he is among the greatest defensive players

328
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: that we have or will ever see. I think Novakdjokovic

329
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: is number one. But in terms of his ability to

330
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: be able to keep the ball in play, he is

331
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: a big man. His fitness levels, he doesn't he's six' two, yeah,

332
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: yeah surprisingly till.

333
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 3: Tall, yes, yes you don't think.

334
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 4: It it's shocking when because you just don't think that

335
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 4: he's that.

336
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: Tall one of the sad POINTS i think it will

337
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: always be a regret of my life IS i never

338
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: got to see him play.

339
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: Live really, yeah the, idea.

340
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: Look at your little. FACE i got to see him

341
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: walk past me in a Packed Australian open crowd when

342
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: he was, training AND i was, like that man is,

343
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: huge surprisingly, tall and it's always stuck with, me But

344
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: i've never actually got to see him play.

345
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 4: Live the most upsetting moment of my life is THAT

346
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 4: i actually got an offer of tickets to The remember.

347
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: The Roger fadah twenty, Seventeen stop? IT i, thought stop

348
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: it my greatest tennis much of.

349
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: My one SHIFT i had At Fox Sports. News to.

350
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 4: Add that to the the volumes of times THAT i

351
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 4: probably shouldn't have put worked fast and potentially should have

352
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 4: got on a flight To victoria to watch.

353
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 2: For daal like.

354
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 4: But you also think about that, Final but then it

355
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 4: was actually when The Nadal federer final At wimbledon as,

356
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 4: well which everyone thinks back to, you AND i think

357
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 4: it was two thousand and eight that it was just

358
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 4: it just, began AND i actually Love there's a wonderful

359
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 4: grab From roger where they sort of ask him and

360
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 4: they say who do you like playing the? Least and he, goes,

361
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 4: Oh Rafa, nadala and he goes who do you love

362
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 4: playing the? Most and he Goes rafa And nadal and

363
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 4: they've just got this. Beautiful and if you haven't watched

364
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 4: The federer doco about his own, retirement you must because

365
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 4: those pictures that went absolutely viral of the two of

366
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 4: them bawling their eyes out and holding hands literally holding

367
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 4: hands courtside about the fact that it was an end

368
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 4: of an.

369
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 2: Era you see the build up to, that you see

370
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 2: them in the locker.

371
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 4: Room And, federer even in the wake of all of,

372
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 4: this has come out and, said you, know we're different.

373
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 4: People we're very different, people and we have very different

374
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 4: styles of. Things we just have this overwhelming respect for one.

375
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 4: Another Because nadal apparently if you get him on a

376
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 4: topic that he's quite passionate, about he's a dog with a.

377
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 2: Bone oh, yes like, that like his competitive, argue his.

378
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 4: Point and that's the other thing as, well is that

379
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 4: they say With, nadal his ability after each point to

380
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 4: mentally reset was.

381
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: Unparalleled don't you think, though that that then is symbolized

382
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: or represented in his little. Idiosyncrasies, yes so he has

383
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: to do everything in that certain way because that's part

384
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: of the process.

385
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 3: Of him being starting, again him wiping.

386
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: It and you talk about the respect That federer And

387
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: nadal had and have for each, other and the locker.

388
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: Room they've created for the next.

389
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: Generation, yes two of the most competitive athletes that we

390
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: have ever. Seen Roger, federer one of my favorite quotes

391
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: from him from him About nadal was that he, said

392
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: tennis is a tough.

393
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:50,879

400
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 3: Hard hard cash money dollars to. Tennis just to their own.

401
