Speaker 1: George, It's incredible.

15
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: It's we're currently standing or sitting in a lovely little

16
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,959
Speaker 2: chair on a beautiful sound stage that's been erected at

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 2: Grand Slam Oval, I think is what this is called

18
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: in the official where we Belong and the Official Australian

19
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 2: Open precinct. And dear listeners, you may have picked up

20
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: that we're actually starting Two Good Sports our season a

21
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: little bit earlier with this special episode.

22
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: We're usually still on holiday.

23
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: When the AO call, you answer, and there is a

24
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 3: bit of a trend going around on social media. I'm

25
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 3: sure you've all seen it about looking back to twenty sixteen,

26
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 3: and I think that's what just happened on Rod Labor

27
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: Arena because Roger Federer was just having.

28
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: That express part.

29
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

30
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: I think he heard we were going to be here.

31
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's definitely how that works with the goat.

32
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 4: He is my goat. What is one of your favorite

33
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 4: AO memories, George?

34
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 2: Oh for me, Now, this is going to be a

35
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 2: journey classic, So go with me on this. A few

36
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: years ago, my fiance some know him as Robert Mills.

37
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 4: He loves me.

38
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: Robert is here. He's acting as our social media guru today.

39
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: Take it a photo, he loves it, takes taking all

40
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 2: content for us. But a few years ago, he was

41
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: singing the national anthem at Rod Labor.

42
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 4: And he's gonna do it now.

43
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: No no, no, no no, no he's not. Don't encourage him.

44
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: Don't encourage him.

45
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 4: I want angels.

46
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, maybe maybe that'll happen. But he was

47
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: singing the national anthem and I got to be his

48
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: plus one because if he'd actually invited anyone else, I

49
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: would have murdered them. Like that's how it works. So

50
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: we were there underneath Rod Labor and they've got all

51
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: of these dressing rooms. It's very fancy, it's very official.

52
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: Robert goes out sings the national anthem. It's incredible and.

53
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 4: Hearing it's beautiful.

54
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: It's beautiful.

55
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: This was for the men's final. It was Raff Nadal

56
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 2: and Daniel Medvedev, like that incredible game a few years ago,

57
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: the credible match a few years ago. And I remember

58
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 2: we couldn't stay because I stupidly had to work the

59
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: next morning, and I was like, that must take precedence

60
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: over my joy in life.

61
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: So Robert literally gets off stage.

62
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: Where we run and get our check in luggage, which

63
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: got shit wheels all over it, and then we're just

64
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: like running through underneath the bows of rod Labor, run

65
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: straight into Rafa Nadal. He's just about to run onto

66
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: the court. And I was like, oh, like.

67
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 3: You're actually run into because there'd be security or something.

68
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: Right got through, Ugh got through. You don't know the

69
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: power of me. You know, me got through.

70
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: But I could only enjoy it for like seconds because

71
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: then the security was like this, waste this way, this way,

72
00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 2: get away from the talent.

73
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 4: I will meet your Nadal story with a federal one.

74
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 5: Yes.

75
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 4: And that when I was in intern at Fox Sports.

76
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 3: There was someone going to interview Federer, and I was

77
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: the only one that didn't really have a job, and

78
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'll carry the things, no worries. He walked

79
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 3: into the room and shook hands with everyone and said, Hi,

80
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: I'm Roger, and we're all like we knowing.

81
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 4: But he was the nicest person and I'm sure that

82
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 4: he hasn't changed. We're going to catch up later. Obviously obvious.

83
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 4: That's why we're here. I mean he's joining us.

84
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: No, no, but that's the caliber of the stars that

85
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: you do see at the AO.

86
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

87
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: One of one of my other favorite stories about the

88
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: Australian Open actually didn't happen to me, Jelmy.

89
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: It happened to you.

90
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: But we were very fortunate to be best friends at

91
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: the time, even then way back in our Fox It's

92
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: two days and luckily, actually this is probably why we

93
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: created two Good Sports, so that I could have this

94
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: moment of you on a sound stage at the Australian

95
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: Open recording a live podcast in front of thousands of

96
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: tennis fans. You need to tell the people what you

97
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: turned down. In twenty seventeen.

98
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 4: I was about three years old.

99
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 3: I wasn't but it was a long time ago, and

100
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: I was very very early in my journalism career, and

101
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: I got a last minute ticket to the Fidal final.

102
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: Fidal guys that was Federer Nadal, like likely the last

103
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: one we were ever going to see.

104
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: If you offered it to me now, I'd walk from

105
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: Sydney to Melbourne. But at the time I was like, no,

106
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 3: I can't possibly take a day off work because this

107
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,119
Speaker 3: will happen all the time. So I missed it, which

108
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 3: Georgie likes to remind me. She's like, remember when and no, no,

109
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 3: not a good moment, but we do.

110
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: It's like a horror movie.

111
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 4: But they're not this.

112
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: I mean, I thought they weren't the stars that we

113
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 3: were going to see at the AO, But clearly Roger

114
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: Federer is still playing around somewhere and gee, looks like

115
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 3: he could still play.

116
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: He does look like he could still play.

117
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: But also, I've been lucky enough to be here a

118
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: couple of I was lucky enough to be here a

119
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: couple of days ago.

120
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,239
Speaker 1: Because this week officially.

121
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: Technically I'm using inverted commas here the tennis hasn't started officially.

122
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: Don't come for me. Everyone who's seen the qualifiers I understand.

123
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 4: How is that Quali week?

124
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but the atmosphere that we have had this

125
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: week at the Australian Open has been unbelievable.

126
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: Day one of technically not the official tournament, thirty five

127
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: thousand people were here.

128
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 4: Unbelievable. The NRL could never.

129
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, Also, guys, don't worry. I know you're

130
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: all thinking it. Whence George, You're going to start talking

131
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: about the Broncos.

132
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 4: That's to look forward to at some point.

133
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: I will try to stop her at any point. But

134
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 3: we do have you might notice if you are with

136
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: very special guest joining us who's arguably been one of

137
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 3: the most famous people on court over the last forty

138
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 3: eight hours because they've lived out everyone's dream. Imagine in

139
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 3: front of millions of people, being opposite the world number

140
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: one and managing to win a point and millions being

141
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: the keywords. So I'm sure you can deduce who may

142
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,400

00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 4: And do you have new friends?

162
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 5: Because I'm sure, ah, yeah, I mean as I didn't

163
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 5: really know how to react. I guess one sort of

164
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 5: I won that last point, but yeah, I guess it's

165
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 5: sort of sinking in slowly over the next sort of

166
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 5: few days. It's just yeah, it's just just couldn't really

167
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 5: stop their smile. What the smile off my face? And yeah,

168
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 5: it's just been a dream come true.

169
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: At a risk of being that person who talks about

170
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: like root chat and being boring. I want to talk

171
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,240

Speaker 5: say it was at Northern North Northern Suburbs. Yep. I

202
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 5: had to win six points there. Again, all pretty crazy,

203
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 5: sort of I've never again experienced this. I played sort

204
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 5: a lot of junior matches and it was the most

205
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 5: nervous I guess I've ever been. And yeah, I just

206
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 5: thought I already made it, like making it to Melbourne

207
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 5: on to Rod Labor and then I was like, okay,

208
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 5: can I please get through one round? Like against Billy

209
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 5: Bailey Smith?

210
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: And Billy Smith is what you went with, which is

211
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 3: about the best thing in the world because you are

212
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 3: the most famous smith on course, what was that like?

213
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 4: Was was he wearing a headband? Wearing the classics? That's

214
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 4: why he lost?

215
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he just had a racket from Kmart

216
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 5: and I sort of speaking.

217
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: Of before and I'm going to murder you.

218
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 4: I've got this.

219
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I won this his paper rock and chose

220
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 5: to serve and I was just I just got like,

221
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 5: I want to get out there because there's a lot

222
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 5: of weight beforehand.

223
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 3: The amateurs that choose to serve it would be the

224
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 3: last thing. Then the papers as Rock. I mean, I

225
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 3: always think of Bart Simpson.

226
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 4: That's like good old rock. What would your people method?

227
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 5: No, to be honest, no, like people told me before,

228
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 5: Rockers like the highest percentage of wins. But no, honestly,

229
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 5: I did not think at all. Just literally random at

230
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 5: the last second. So it's about fifty to fifty was

231
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 5: what I won and lost. But yeah, I thought that

232
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 5: I get through one point and then it came Navy

233
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 5: came now I can maybe get to Cinner, which is

234
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 5: third round.

235
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 4: Did you just want to face Sinner?

236
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 5: Yeah? That was played against seeing the draw was at

237
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 5: the one thirty in the afternoon. Beforehand was yeah, just okay,

238
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 5: can I get to Janick Sinner? That'd be dream come true?

239
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 5: And then yeah, I won the seas Rock against Yannick. Actually,

240
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 5: and I noticed sort of the pros in the earlier

241
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 5: rounds were very nervous about serving because they got one

242
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 5: serve only. Yes, so I know public and Nick Kurios

243
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 5: and I think they all chose to receive.

244
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: So I like the only person who looked like he

245
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: might have been having more fun than Carlos, because I'm

246
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: sure you've all seen the videos online, but if you haven't,

247
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: Alas was losing mind.

248
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 4: And I think that was.

249
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 3: Part of the joy of all of this is the

250
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 3: pros look like they've never had more fun at tennis.

251
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, non, I loving it. They were smiling and laughing,

252
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 5: and I was sort of talking a little bit and

253
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 5: getting some photos. I got a photo with Anak and Carlos, and.

254
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 4: I love that I got it. We all saw you.

255
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was gonna say, because now you can tell,

Speaker 5: It was very down to earth. He was super nice.

266
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 5: He gave me sort of fifteen twenty minutes to sort

267
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,800

Speaker 5: Exactly probably right. That was just unbelievable, and just so

271

00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 5: just trying to stay as calm as possible and and

280
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 5: enjoy it and I'll sort of reflect on it.

281
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: So when I go back home, can I ask you

282
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: what your girlfriend's reaction was?

283
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean she was in disbelief. I think just

284
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 5: the shock and the sort of yeah joy and sort

285
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 5: of tears in her eyes, and it's just it's amazing

286
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 5: to see. And she actually got to come much of

287
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 5: the court after.

288
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: With some of the best like almost as good as

289
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: hours then your actual But we are talking big dollars,

290
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 3: and this wasn't an overnight moment for you. You've been

291
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: in the grind of tennis your whole life. And I

292
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 3: think sometimes people come to events like this and they

293
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 3: see the stars and think they're arriving on private jets.

294
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 4: It's such a lucrative sport.

295
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 3: If you are even on the fringe of the top

296
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: one hundred players in the world.

297
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 4: It is an exorbitantly expensive.

298
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: Sport to be a part of, and it is something

299
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 3: that keeps a lot of great athletes from being able

300
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 3: to compete.

301
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 4: And that was something that you experienced too, because.

302
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 3: You're flying and paying for your own team around the world.

303
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 4: Talk to us a little bit about what that journey's like.

304
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, it's tennis is in my life and obviously

305
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 5: growing up with two brothers, Blake and Cameron and Neil,

306
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 5: my dad is my coach always. Yeah. Again, dreamt about

307
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 5: wanting to play on the tour and I was lucky

308
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 5: enough to sort of give it a go. It was

309
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty, I think I was playing and sort

310
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 5: of COVID hit and had to sort of stop for

311
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 5: a couple of years. Again, and I've had a few

312
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 5: injuries when I was a bit younger, but yeah, it was.

313
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 5: Obviously it's a dream to sort of travel and sort

314
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 5: of play and experience it, and it is a very

315
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 5: difficult lifestyle. Yeah, again, having to fund it was basically

316
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 5: by myself sort of going to I went to you know,

317
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 5: Tanisia and Thailand and all about Australia and it was yeah,

318
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 5: it was. It was a very difficult experience mentally and physically.

319
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 5: And yeah, sort of it is a grind, like you know,

320
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 5: you're sort of again getting up early, having a sort

321
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 5: of fight for practice courts, you know, maybe practice late

322
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 5: at night or any it just sort of fund yourself

323
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 5: and a lot of stress with matches. But also yeah,

324
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 5: as in tennis's again give me everything. Wouldn't I again

325
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 5: change anything? And did?

326
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: Did I know?

327
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: All of that, all of that struggle. I don't want

328
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: to diminish it. But the moment that you won the

329
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: million dollars was there?

330
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 5: Oh well yeah I didn't initially think that, but people

331
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 5: have sort of like this is great. People have Yeah.

332
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 5: Again sort of again reflected a bit more on it.

333
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 5: It's like it's, you know, it's all my life journey.

334
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 5: It's like it's it's all worth it now. I guess

335
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 5: for what happened the other night and all the hard

336
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 5: work or the you know, the long hours on court,

337
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 5: it's it's all been worth it.

338
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 3: I mean, apparently more than a million people tuned in

339
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 3: to watch you. A million people watched you win the

340
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 3: million dollars, which was also in a glass case. It

341
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: was wheeled out with cash. Is that how you're expecting

342
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 3: it to run? Because is that display or do you

343
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 3: have they explained to you this process is going to happen.

344
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 5: Yeah. I haven't really talked too much about the financial side.

345
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 5: A lot of media.

346
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: Where and at all times.

347
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 5: Than you're still getting over the moment of being ond labor.

348
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: That's the best. I'm sorry, that was so sweet.

349
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: It was still like you've won a million dollars and

350
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: all of that, You've played Yannick Sinner whatever. You're just

351
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: there trying to take in that you're on Rod Lazy.

352
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's again I dreamt it as a kid,

353
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 5: like I didn't ever imagine like playing on them as

354
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 5: a one point slam sort of participant. But yeah, exactly. Yeah,

355
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 5: I haven't really thought too much. But no, it's definitely

356
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 5: not with the Craig Tiley undred dollar notes.

357
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 3: No for this is it isn't the inaugural one point slam.

358
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 3: It was the first one that was broadcast in that

359
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 3: the media and social media, and I'm sure social media

360
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 3: has just gone. Is it a concept that you think

361
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 3: it would work at any other Slam? Or is it

362
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 3: so uniquely Australian to have a battler havocat?

363
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, it's it is sort of the Australian spirit

364
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 5: in the theme of it. But no, I think I've

365
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 5: sort of heard it. It's been mentioned to be a

366
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 5: good idea for other Grand Slams to do something like this, so.

367
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 4: I think now you made it so fun.

368
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: I feel like what they need though, is that you

369
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: should get a wild card entry into every Slam.

370
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: If they're going to run the.

371
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 5: Very nice marketing, maybe even of the sports sort of

372
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 5: a sort of maybe taken in different ways, they can

373
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 5: maybe make it more enjoyable for just yeah, I guess

374
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 5: regular people to have a go, or even people on

375
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 5: sort of the TV to watch like it's crazy.

376
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 2: What are you I'm sure this is a question that

377
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 2: you've not been asked yet at all this week, But

378
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: what are you spending the million on?

379
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 4: Is that the first a hundred times did Uncle twice removed?

380
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: Or was your dad or your brothers being like, you know,

381
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: we helped you.

382
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 4: So how to give us.

383
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 3: The other thing, when some people win a lot of money,

384
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,479
Speaker 3: they get to decide in real time how they're going

385
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 3: to let people know.

386
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 4: Every man and their dog knows that you just had

387
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 4: a Winnow.

388
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, my middle brother Cameron, he's being like I think

389
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 5: I mentioned in like an interview before, if I want it,

390
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 5: like i'd give it back to family and friends. And

391
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 5: I'm like, well, he's like he's still much of a

392
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 5: good bloat. So now I will obviously think about it

393
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 5: with my parents and girlfriend. But ah, yeah, just I

394
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 5: don't know. Yeah, I don't really know what to sort

395
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 5: of think about it. It's crazy.

396
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 3: What does the next couple of weeks look like for

397
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 3: you at the AO?

398
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 4: Do you get to walk around and do a little

399
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 4: bit of this?

400
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 3: Do you just go and catch up with I'm stalking

401
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 3: around you spent fifteen to twenty minutes just chatting.

402
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 5: To Yeah, that's again, I think they're all going to it.

403
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 5: So it's just I thank everyone for writing.

404
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

405
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I think I'll try and go to as

406
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 5: many events as I can and do as much media

407
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 5: as I can and just again enjoy the experience. I

408
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 5: was meant to go home. Actually yesterday at lunchtime, but

409
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 5: that got changed. So because I was originally going to

410
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 5: just come to watch on this coming Sunday, like I

411
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 5: booked him maybe six months ago, and just to watch

412
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 5: a few of the Aussies and just to be a fan,

413
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 5: and it obviously change a bit. Now. I would like

414
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,479
Speaker 5: to stay for as long as possible, and I think

415
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 5: I'm booked till maybe next Thursday, so.

416
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: I'll be here for another Surely we can get you

417
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 2: to a fine I feel like, also, is there a

418
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: you obviously love tennis, it's been your life.

419
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 3: Is there a pipe dream for the way that you

420
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 3: would like to be involved in tennis? If I mean,

421
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 3: you can dream big because you're one of the people

422
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 3: where the dreams actually become a thing that's happening.

423
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 4: What would you like this to build into it something more?

424
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 5: I thought, again, I got to sort of speak to

425
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 5: family in front. I haven't really thought too much sort

426
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 5: of what I can get out of it, I guess,

427
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 5: so any opportunity that comes with it, I'll all embrace

428
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 5: it and enjoy it. And yeah, hopefully I can be

429
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 5: I guess the face of sort of maybe the amateurs

430
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 5: that you know that want to give it a go,

431
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 5: and I can always never give up on their dream

432
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 5: And like I know you again last week, I never

433
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 5: really thought that this would be up here with you

434
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 5: girls and just doing all this stuff. So that's crazy.

435
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: Well, given that you are, I'm going to say the

436
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 2: first winner of the Australian Open so far this tournament.

437
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 3: You were catching up with your peers today when you're

438
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:34,080

439
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: To even you have that experience.

440
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,120

441
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 2: the aotraw men's draw.

442
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: Let's go. You will be judged accordingly by Abiana.

443
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm hoping an Australian wins. If Alex Demenor or

444
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 5: good friends with Jordan Thompson, so if he could get well,

445
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 5: yeah he has been doing well. But yeah, I love

446
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 5: seeing it like I love seeing her and al Karez

447
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,040

448
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,160

449
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,679

00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 3: some pressure and her boyfriend to drop a knee. I

455
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 3: reckon Jess might be like, you know, I tie this

456

Speaker 3: up now. I think you can work that out now.

457
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 3: I do have another very hard hitting question for you

458
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 3: before we leave, because this is something that is a

459
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 3: bugbear of mine.

00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 4: There is a jar of tennis balls between us.

461
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,560

00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: Do you think that's yellow?

465
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 5: Yeah?

00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 3: I have d ms that are absolutely filthy at me

472
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 3: for believing that it's green.

473
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 5: Don't think it's green.

Speaker 3: I do know a little bit more about this, only

482
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 3: because I had to google because people are so mad

483
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 3: that it was brought in by David Attenbrough. So when

484
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: they start, they stopped broadcasting tennis in black and white.

485
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:31,760

00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: could ask him and then let us know, that'd be

493
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: really cool.

494
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,040

Speaker 2: going to be there.

551
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: So we did have one fun fact in that a

552
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 3: tennis ball is yellow and not green, which has challenged

553
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 3: how I see everything. But there is another fun fact

554
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 3: which listens to the pod well know is the way

555
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 3: that we usually rounded out how many of you have

556
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 3: watched Wimbledon.

557
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: We've seen Wimbledon. Everyone's seen nine percent of the crowd.

558
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 3: One of the most famed trophies in world sports.

559
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: Huge, shiny, gigantic thing.

560
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 3: You've seen it so many times in your life you

561
00:24:58,920 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 3: could almost picture it.

562
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 5: Well.

563
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 3: At top the Wimbledon trophy is a pineapple.

564
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: It is a very legitimate pineapple.

565
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 4: Pineapple.

566
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, now you'll google it and have a look at

567
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 3: photos because you never would have noticed it before. But

568
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 3: this is one of those weird wimbled and trivia's where

569
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 3: apparently pineapples indicated wels, yeah, back in the day.

570
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 4: So they've put it on top of the trophy.

571
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, some may think that, you know, you might put

572
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 2: like a tennis racket on top of a tennis trophy.

573
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, no, no no no, not.

574
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 2: Those English, No, not those English. They're like, we've got

575
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 2: to keep things prim and proper and rather fancy.

576
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: So that is a fun fat guys. For how many.

577
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 4: Pineapples going to a million dollars? Oh my god, that

578
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 4: should be our other fun fact. It's not happening, but this.

579
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: Is going to show.

580
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: Now I've already got judgment eyes from people in the crowd.

581
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 2: But like, you know, what is the pineapple called? Isn't

582
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: that one hundred dollar note?

583
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 4: It's not like fifty because it's yellow?

584
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: No what I don't know. No, Robert's looking at me,

585
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: like you idiots.

586
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 4: This is why Georgie.

587
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 3: Isn't in charge of the finances.

588
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 4: Oh no, it only cost me one pineapple. What was

589
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 4: that a check? Oh?

590
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,800
