WEBVTT - Day 10: Serena defeated, Pliskova progresses

0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Match boy number three for Carolina Plishkiva. Four hundred turn

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:05.880
<v Speaker 1>from Williams's deep four and from Polishkiva into the fourn

0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:08.280
<v Speaker 1>winging Williams. Williams gets this up four and from Politiciver

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>down the backend wing. Williams is there. Politkiva goes down

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:12.920
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the call for and from Williams let its.

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Plashkiva raises her arms, put hand to her mouse. I

0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>don't think she could quite believe it. You want to

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:20.759
<v Speaker 1>win for Carolina Plishkiva.

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Hello and welcome to the AO Show. I'm James Parkinson.

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Day ten of the Australian Open and another great day

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 2>of quarterfinal action at Melbourne Park. Naomi Asaka, Carolina Plushkiv,

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Lucas Pui and Novak Djokovic all progressing to the semifinals.

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 2>In Jokovic's case, it was Kane Shakori retiring from the

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.599
<v Speaker 2>match that ended the contest in the second set six

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.400
<v Speaker 2>to one for one for on today's show, we learn

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.160
<v Speaker 2>what it takes to be a line on pile.

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 3>I really love Porkie because your own accuracy improves, and.

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 2>We speak with tennis legend Daniella on Chakova.

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 4>It's a really a huge privilege to minton. This is

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 4>the most beautiful sports.

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 2>But we start with the big upset of the day,

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:09.199
<v Speaker 2>Carolina Plushkova defeating Serena Williams in three sets. Firstly, let's

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 2>hear from Pluskiva and her reaction on court.

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.120
<v Speaker 5>I think she improved her game, especially in the second set.

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 5>She just went for her shots. She was more aggressive.

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 5>I was struggling a little bit on that side, was

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 5>against the wind, so it's tough to play against Serena

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 5>and against the wind two so you know, she was

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.320
<v Speaker 5>playing very well, especially at the end of the second set.

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 5>She went for her shots. She was more aggressive. I

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.959
<v Speaker 5>played too passive, but you know, on one hands, I

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 5>was almost in the locker room. But now I'm standing

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 5>here as a winner, so I'm believe a feeling.

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 6>Well.

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.319
<v Speaker 2>Pluskova has every right to be delighted. It's not every

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 2>day you beat Serena Williams in a Grand Slam quarter final.

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 2>To learn more about Carolina and what this result means,

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Tim Soley spoke to Nadia Voutchakova.

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 7>My name is Nadia Vachikova and I worked.

0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 8>For ESB's radio check an outstanding game against one of

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 8>the all time champions.

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 9>What are your initial thoughts?

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:08.680
<v Speaker 7>I almost cry. It was amazing to beat Serena Williams.

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 7>It's a big thing in his in her career as well.

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 7>They met four times and twice she was able to

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 7>beat her. So that's that's amazing.

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 8>Serena's up five to one in the final set and

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 8>Fishkiva just finds something a little bit extra to find

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 8>a way through the semifinal here at the Open, it.

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 7>Was very stressful, that's that's for sure. It was a

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 7>really game from start to the end. And then I

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 7>saw that she'd probably enjoy herself a little bit in

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 7>feet so and since then she lost her focus and

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 7>that was a chance for Carolina and she took it.

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 8>Do you think the injury played a big role or

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 8>was Carolina? Did Carolina find another gear and actually, you know,

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:50.799
<v Speaker 8>win on her own terms.

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 7>I think it was a big gear. But also she straightforward,

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 7>she stayed focused and that was the best what she

0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 7>could do in that moment and actually show us her

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 7>STrenD is tell us.

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 8>About the reaction back in the Czech Republic from this win?

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 8>Will it be huge in the papers tomorrow? How is

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.359
<v Speaker 8>Carolina received back in the Czech Republic.

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 7>I think it will. We have just a few players,

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 7>especially right now this year, it's just a Carolina ar Protectva,

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 7>which I hope or everyone just hope somewhere that it

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.679
<v Speaker 7>will be a check final, or it could be a

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 7>check final. You know, it's still on a table. So

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 7>I think the reaction will be just positive. You know,

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 7>Serena has a big name, as you said before, so

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 7>definitely she will be filling up the pages at least

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:34.399
<v Speaker 7>for a few days.

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 2>On the other hand, this is a tough defeat for

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Serena Williams. She did have to deal with an injury

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 2>during this match. He's what she had to say.

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 10>Mankel seems to be fine. I usually don't know until

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 10>the next day, so I think she just played lights

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 10>out on Nash Finds, literally it in lines and just

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 10>went crazy on Nashalins. So I don't think it was

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 10>she just played unbelievable on Lash one. I really hate

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 10>Colina out, to be honest, and at that point I

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 10>didn't feel like I needed it or I didn't feel

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 10>like it would be a big deal, so I just

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 10>just kept going, you know, I like to just kind

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 10>of toss it out so to say, But yeah, it

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:18.600
<v Speaker 10>was fine.

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 2>No doubt Serena will be back, but this is still

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 2>a shock result for many. Tim Soley spoke with Kurt

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Streeter to help put this into context.

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 6>Kurt Streeter, I'm a staff writer at the New York Times.

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 8>Kurt, fascinating match, just a real sea souring affair. Looked

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 8>at some stage through the second set that Serena was

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 8>going to go down, and then that champion that we

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 8>know fought back and up five to one in the

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 8>third and she goes and I lose the match.

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 9>What are your initial thoughts?

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 6>Well, the way forwarded with an injury at match point.

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 6>I mean, you know, I just tweeted out, you know,

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 6>Serena loses an epic match. When have we ever seen

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 6>that before? Unbelievable match.

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 8>She's thirty seven years of age now, she's got an

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 8>eighty six percent winning ratio on the circuit since turning

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.040
<v Speaker 8>pro in ninety ninety five. It's a remarkable record and

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 8>we used to it getting out of those situations. Was

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 8>it the injury that really, you know, took the toll

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 8>on that match?

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 6>I'd say clearly she is. She was very injured. I mean,

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 6>there's no way. I cannot see her losing that match

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 6>if not for the injury. I think one of the

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.479
<v Speaker 6>things that was really surprising to me is that in

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:22.280
<v Speaker 6>all that time she was clearly hobbling, she never called

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 6>for a trainer, which if I was her coach I

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.840
<v Speaker 6>would have advised her to do. But that maybe speaks

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 6>to Serena and how you know, terrifically stubborn she is.

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 8>She obviously won the Australia Open here a couple of

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.119
<v Speaker 8>years ago when had a daughter.

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 9>She's come back, She's made two finals since then.

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 8>Will we see Serena get to that pinnicle again and

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 8>win another Grand Slam?

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 6>As long as she is playing, I will not never

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 6>count out Serena, and I don't think anybody else should.

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.839
<v Speaker 6>I mean, she's head and shoulders, a better player and

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.599
<v Speaker 6>a better athlete, I believe overall, even at thirty seven,

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.280
<v Speaker 6>then most of the field, and she has an unbelievable

0:05:58.279 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 6>self belief.

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 8>Will this be a big story back home tomorrow? And

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.279
<v Speaker 8>what will be the reaction in the States.

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 6>It's going to be big news anytime she loses. Anytime

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 6>she plays in a Grand Slam, people watch, And I'm

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.599
<v Speaker 6>talking about people who aren't even sports fans, but just

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.160
<v Speaker 6>a casual sports fan who doesn't pay any attention to tennis.

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:18.480
<v Speaker 6>They pay attention when she's playing.

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.160
<v Speaker 2>In the other women's singles match today, Naomi Asaka continues

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.600
<v Speaker 2>her great form this tournament, defeating Elena s Fitdelena six

0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 2>four six ' one. He is her reaction on court.

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 11>She's a really good player and it's kind of unfortunate

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 11>that she got injured. But yeah, I mean playing against

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.599
<v Speaker 11>her even when she was injured was still really tough.

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 11>So for me today, I just had one goal and

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.479
<v Speaker 11>it was to try as hard as I can and

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 11>not get angry. So yeah, I didn't do that well

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 11>in the last two rounds, so that was my only

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 11>goal and I think I did it well. So I'm

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 11>really happy with how I played today.

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Such a humble person, know me, and her status within

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.800
<v Speaker 2>the tennis world is only set to grow. With Serena

0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.039
<v Speaker 2>now out of the tournament, she's likely to be many

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 2>people's favorite for the title, but she will have to

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 2>get past Plush give up first in her way to

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:19.560
<v Speaker 2>the final. Elsewhere in the day session, Frenchman Lucas Poi

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 2>defeated Miloseronic in four sets and he spoke about his

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>performance after the match.

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 12>I didn't have to face a breakpoint for almost three hours,

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 12>so even if I lost this the third set, in

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 12>my mind it was clear I had to stay focused

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 12>on my service game, taking care of that and then

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 12>trying to put as many return as I can. In

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 12>the third set, I had some breakpoints, he always saved

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 12>it really well with a good serve and good points,

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 12>and then he made a good breaker and here we are,

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 12>and then it's a four set. I'm still leading two

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 12>sets to one, so I don't have to panic and

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 12>been needed to stay positive and chill doing what I

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.440
<v Speaker 12>what I did great for to our thurnaments.

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Saw an effort today for pois a player really on

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 2>the rights now and into a semi final. Tim Swey

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 2>has more.

0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 13>David Lario and I'm a reporter for the French sports

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 13>daily Newsley keep in Paris.

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 8>Tell me, look, he's been a number ten, he's found

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.240
<v Speaker 8>himself at number thirty now. Obviously that will jump after

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 8>after his results here, But do you think this is

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 8>a moment in history where he will look back and

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 8>go this is where it clicked for me.

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.680
<v Speaker 13>I hope, so, I hope so for him I opes

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 13>so for him because you know, look as everybody know

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:42.439
<v Speaker 13>that it is a big talent. You know, he has

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 13>a big arm, you know, a real far ham, really

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 13>really powerful, you know, and he gets just you know,

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 13>to stabilize a little bit that you know, and just

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 13>to find a good balance, you know, between to be

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 13>aggressive on the court and between to be a good defender.

0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 13>And I guess for against Hawnich today, I find that

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 13>I find a good balance. You know, is capable to

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.080
<v Speaker 13>make big returns and to be aggressive on his served,

0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 13>you know, and if you find the good balance for me,

0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 13>it could be a top ten players.

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:14.439
<v Speaker 8>Tell me about Emilie Maresma huge success with Marion Bartoli

0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 8>at the wind Wooden. She's had some great success with

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 8>Annie Mari. Now she takes on a new player. She's

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 8>been with him since December and she's already having this influence.

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:27.480
<v Speaker 13>She knows that big moment, you know, she knows how

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:29.960
<v Speaker 13>you get to work with that, how you get to

0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 13>approach you know, that kind of game. And I guess

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.200
<v Speaker 13>with luc At they got something simple. You know, the

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 13>worst was simple. It was just take pleasure on the court,

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:42.079
<v Speaker 13>play simple, you know, not to be complicated.

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:42.600
<v Speaker 6>On new game.

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 13>You just play simple and look at you know, do

0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.680
<v Speaker 13>that on the con Rhina since the beginning of the tournament.

0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 13>And I mean Emili is probably the big influence you

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:52.440
<v Speaker 13>know in his new game.

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 8>Right now, people will be waking up in France. Now,

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 8>they'll be getting the news. What will the reaction be

0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 8>in France at the.

0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 13>Moment they got a bit wait for you know, that

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 13>kind of result in France. You know, the last season

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.240
<v Speaker 13>for the French player were not so good, you know,

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.959
<v Speaker 13>for Richaga's schedule with some Gaga Alemphis it was really

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.040
<v Speaker 13>so so, you know, they got no big results and

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 13>we are waiting for that. You know, we're waiting for

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 13>a guy with capable you know, to fight with the

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.560
<v Speaker 13>top ten, top twenty, you know, and we we we

0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:26.560
<v Speaker 13>have many expectations with Lucas since two years, you know,

0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 13>right a, since Inmate the quarter final in US Superen

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 13>you know, and they got something really exciting in France

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 13>with the CAPU right now.

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 9>Thanks for you, Tom, Thank you.

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Today on the Twilight Show, the AI radio team got

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 2>talking about comebacks in tennis. Is Brigittel, Richard Evans and

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Matt Cronin.

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 14>I think we need to get back to the basics

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:54.200
<v Speaker 14>and remind people of what tennis is. Unlike other sports.

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 14>There is no bell. Yeah, there is no whistle. There

0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.959
<v Speaker 14>is no clock that says this match is going to

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 14>end in so many seconds or so many minutes. And

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:08.720
<v Speaker 14>as my former co writing colleague, the intellectual Davis Cuppa

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 14>Alan Fox said to me once, he said, you have

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.840
<v Speaker 14>to go through the nasty business of winning. You have

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 14>to go over the horns and put the sword in.

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 14>There is no escape. You can't hide, you can get

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 14>the match point, and if you can't do that, you're

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:29.000
<v Speaker 14>never going to win. And that is what makes tennis

0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 14>such a hugely psychological game. It makes it so difficult

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.560
<v Speaker 14>because a boxer, a boxer can can get the points

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.240
<v Speaker 14>going for him and pile up the points and then

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 14>for the last two rounds he puts his gloves in

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 14>front of his face and somebody rings a bell and

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.680
<v Speaker 14>he's won. Never happens in tennis. It can't happen in tennis.

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 14>That's why the scoring system is so brilliant and what

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 14>makes the game different from any other sport.

0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 15>I haven't thought about that, but you're absolutely right, and

0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 15>you're never out of the guy a camping.

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, f way up, way up, way up.

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 16>All the time that person's like here or she is

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 16>going to collapse. Whatever, you have to win it. Yes,

0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.640
<v Speaker 16>the only thing you can do. You can make a

0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:17.959
<v Speaker 16>couple of errors. Then you'll say, whoops, oh I'm still here.

0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 16>What am I going to do?

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:21.800
<v Speaker 15>It was one of the best comebacks I've say, especially

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 15>because it was against Serena And what was the one

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 15>you mentioned? Are there any others you can think of

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 15>that were really stuck out in your mind? I mean, look, Misia,

0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.200
<v Speaker 15>Corey had a pretty good one in his last round

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.719
<v Speaker 15>coming back come you know from two sets down. That's

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 15>pretty extraordinary too. Yeah, so I look at it. They're

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 15>definitely out there. But that was quite an extraordinary game

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:39.880
<v Speaker 15>of tennis. There's no doubt about that.

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.560
<v Speaker 14>It's in the men's game, of course, you get the

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:45.679
<v Speaker 14>chance to come back from a long way in the

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 14>best of five set format because it can be two

0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.719
<v Speaker 14>sets down and everybody said, oh, the match is over,

0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 14>but it isn't. You know, have to produce. You've got

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 14>to get that first survey and you've got to hit

0:12:56.640 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 14>that return, and whether you couldn't do it the way

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:04.520
<v Speaker 14>you want to is all about the psychology of the

0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 14>match and where the match is and what has happened

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 14>in the previous hour or so.

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Throughout the Open. So far, we've looked at various jobs

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.040
<v Speaker 2>around the tournament, including those on court, and one of

0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.679
<v Speaker 2>the most unique, I think has to be the line umpires,

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 2>a role that requires quick decision making and twenty twenty vision.

0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:29.319
<v Speaker 3>My name is Hannah, I'm one of the Lion officials

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:30.439
<v Speaker 3>at the Australian Open.

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 8>Tell me how long you've been doing this for now

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.480
<v Speaker 8>and just to some experiences along the way.

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 3>So ten years, I've been very lucky, very unfortunate. I've

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:43.680
<v Speaker 3>got the opportunity to umpire at oversea Grand Slams also

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:48.160
<v Speaker 3>so ron Garos and Wimbleden. You just get to travel

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.480
<v Speaker 3>the world, whether you meet a lot of people from

0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.240
<v Speaker 3>all over the glove and very unique experience.

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.679
<v Speaker 9>What is the culture like down here between the line umpires?

0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:00.760
<v Speaker 3>Really friendly? Everyone is great now every morning you come

0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.040
<v Speaker 3>in and there's always someone to have a chat with.

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 9>And do you have any idea how any umpires are

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:05.839
<v Speaker 9>here at the Open?

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:10.320
<v Speaker 3>Maybe don't quote me, but probably around three hundred. But

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:14.040
<v Speaker 3>it gets cut down as there are less matches to service.

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 9>It's a very good guess.

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 8>I know last year here at the Open they had

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:20.280
<v Speaker 8>three hundred and eighty three. Really, so I was testing you, Tribua.

0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm not very good at trivia, so I'm glad

0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 3>I got within one hundred of the march.

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 8>Tell me about the introduction of hawkeye. You must feel

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:32.040
<v Speaker 8>sometimes that it undermines your call. And what's it like

0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.680
<v Speaker 8>to make that call and think I've made the right call.

0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 8>Then they sent it up for a challenge and you're

0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 8>sitting there waiting.

0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.840
<v Speaker 9>What's going on in your mind at that moment.

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, actually, I really love hawkey. I think it's really

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:49.480
<v Speaker 3>great because I think your own accuracy improves with Hawkeye

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 3>because it's kind of I think it's very accurate. There

0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 3>are some times when you make the wrong call, but

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 3>you knew that you made the wrong call, and hawkkey

0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:02.480
<v Speaker 3>will show that. So when you're waiting for the image

0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.120
<v Speaker 3>coming through it, you're you're like a bit like a

0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.880
<v Speaker 3>bit resigned because you know that you know that you've

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 3>probably made you've made an error. But it's also very affirmative,

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 3>like when you know you've made a good core and

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.680
<v Speaker 3>it was tight and then it confirms that you feel

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.840
<v Speaker 3>really good. So yeah, it goes both ways.

0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 8>How do you get selected to do the big finals

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:20.880
<v Speaker 8>at the end of the tournament?

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so you're yeah, you're getting evaluated every single time

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 3>you do a session, so it's all it all gets tabulated,

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 3>and then the ones that have the highest point average

0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 3>they make they make the cuts.

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 8>And how are you tracking this year or are we

0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:38.640
<v Speaker 8>hoping that to see you in the final?

0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 9>Maybe this year?

0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 3>I have no idea, no idea, Yeah, you kind of

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 3>you find out after the tournament finishes, you know, just

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 3>just you know, keep focus, just keep doing what you've

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.680
<v Speaker 3>got to do, and then whatever happens happens.

0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 9>Good luck. Hope to see you out there in the final.

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 3>Great thanks too.

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Lastly, today we check in with an another legend of

0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:04.720
<v Speaker 2>the game. This time it's Danielle han cha Kova Daniello.

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:06.840
<v Speaker 9>Thoughts and feelings about being back at the Open.

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I feels amazing always to be back down on there.

0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Couldn't wait.

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:15.080
<v Speaker 4>I just got here this morning. Actually, so no, it's

0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.200
<v Speaker 4>the best time of the year. Actually, I've been always

0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 4>saying that when I still play it because everyone's fresh

0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 4>ready to start the season and I just love Australia,

0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:25.360
<v Speaker 4>so I'm super happy to be back.

0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:27.320
<v Speaker 8>Tell me, there's a lot of technology now, a lot

0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.240
<v Speaker 8>of changes in the game. Is there things that are

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 8>happening now out there that you wish you had back

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:32.160
<v Speaker 8>in the day when you were applying?

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 14>Not really.

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm actually a very old style kind of person. So

0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.480
<v Speaker 4>I like the way, you know, things has been working

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.600
<v Speaker 4>in tennis for many years. Maybe with the analysis stuff

0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:46.240
<v Speaker 4>for the players, you know, like now all the access

0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.880
<v Speaker 4>that the coaches have to see exactly how we play,

0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 4>maybe that could have been useful.

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:51.600
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:52.760
<v Speaker 14>I just no.

0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:56.640
<v Speaker 4>I think I like the tennis that has been the

0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:58.440
<v Speaker 4>way it's been for the last I don't know how

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.120
<v Speaker 4>many times of years.

0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:03.080
<v Speaker 8>You finished now obviously a legend of the sport looking

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.760
<v Speaker 8>back as a legend at your early stages of your career,

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:09.040
<v Speaker 8>is there some advice you could give some of these

0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:13.360
<v Speaker 8>young players out on court now looking back at your career, Yeah.

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:16.359
<v Speaker 4>Definitely to appreciate it what they do, because you know,

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:20.199
<v Speaker 4>it's only maybe what two hundred players people in the

0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:22.320
<v Speaker 4>world that get to do this, and it's really a

0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:25.960
<v Speaker 4>huge privilege to meet and this is the most beautiful

0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:32.600
<v Speaker 4>sport so that they can appreciate it and really enjoy

0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:34.960
<v Speaker 4>it and not take anything for granted because the real

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 4>life it's completely different, and you know, just maybe sometimes

0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.200
<v Speaker 4>slow down and when they have a good result, really

0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:45.120
<v Speaker 4>really digest it and not to rush from one tournament

0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:45.560
<v Speaker 4>to another.

0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:47.960
