WEBVTT - IT AIN'T STOSUR 'TIL IT'S STOSUR 0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:02.960 This could be arguably more fun than being on court 0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:03.760 for five hours. 0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:11.639 Oh yeah, I know the film.

We really committed a. 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.360 Hello, this is it actually feels worth your wearing the 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.000 Australia like representing the country right now and then we're 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.160 just embarrassing ourselves anything like that. 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.399 Well we have an ale hat on them. We're in this, 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:16.479 you know, we're still Australian. 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.959 That means we're embarrassing like another thing, a tournament and 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:21.360 the entire country. 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:25.560 It's so good to have you in, Sam.

I 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:40.800 remember it pretty distinctly because I was playing Hughsey on 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.080 one of the courts here at the Tennis Center and 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.000 you're on the court next to us, just having a 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.400 hit and Hughsy. You guys knew each other from I 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:53.200 don't know whatever, famous people, famous people or whatever. 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.000 Yeah. 0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:02.320 Yeah, and he introduced me to you, and uh, for 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.080 some reason, hus he goes, oh, Mike goes to the 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:07.080 US Open every year, right, And you go, oh, that's cool, 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.280 and I go, yeah, just trying to make conversation, I said, yeah, 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:15.560 have you ever been to the US And as the 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:20.200 words we're coming out of my stupid face, I envision 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.760 you beating Serena at the twenty eleven US Open, And 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.799 I've never felt stupid or anymore. But you were so cool, 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.800 You're like yeah, yeah, oh no, is that you you? 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.000 Oh my god, like a couple. 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.480 I mean, that's the answer of a great person to 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:39.080 not absolutely slap you sideways in that moment right there. 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.520 Yeah. Is that the stupidest question you've ever got from somebody? 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:43.680 It's probably one of them. 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:44.000 Yeah. 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:46.840 Do you have any recollection of that moment? 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:52.000 No, that's fine, just the brain. It's a core memory 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:52.360 of mine. 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:52.600 Yeah. 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.800 But isn't it interesting how people live their lives. You've 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.680 never thought about that again, you think about that every 0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:58.760 morning when you wake up. 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:00.480 I don't feel bad. You can let it go now. 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:04.680 Yeah, seven years later, what I've been absolved. It is 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.160 awesome to have you in here. Yeah. Obviously you won 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:13.079 that twenty eleven against Serena a dominant performance six two 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.440 sixty three. Did you know you had it in the bag, 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.120 like when the Hindrance call happened. 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.880 No, jeez, that was the scariest moment I've ever had 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:22.639 in a tennis court. 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:23.160 Oh really? 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:23.640 Yeah? 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.880 Yeah, No, Actually, to be honest, I didn't even. 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.919 Know that rule. Okay, Oh so I. 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:28.920 Didn't know what was going on. 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.960 And then you had, you know, the twenty five people 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.520 or whatever. It's kind of looking screaming and thinking, oh, 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.720 this is Serena's chance now to you know, get in 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:37.400 the match. 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.520 Give some yeah, some context or anyone who might not remember, 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.360 like it was a break point for you. Yeah, and then. 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.600 She she yelled out, comme on before. 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.320 I may or may not have could have got the ball, 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:54.240 but the umpire said, you know, Hindrance, So she said 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.760 come on before the point was over. Yeah, and yeah, 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:58.280 I just did not know what to do, and I 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.920 just remember looking up to my plays and my manager 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.760 was like, change as Jans. 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.080 Because I didn't realize what I was like, do I 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:06.480 get the point? 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:07.160 Do I get the point? 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:08.600 I don't know what to do, so I kind of 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.040 fapped around for a little bit, pretending I needed my towel, 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.600 and I was like, oh, we had just working things out, 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.200 and yeah, I started changing agains and then the match 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.480 definitely started switching, swinging a little bit. 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.320 And yeah. 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:25.120 There was then another moment a couple of games later 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:29.440 where we're in a volley exchange and I saw I 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.800 hit a volley winner past her, and then as I 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.560 was turning around to go back to the baseline, I 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.560 saw out of the corner of my eye she clapped 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:38.279 it on her like, gave. 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.839 Me a clap. And then I was like, oh, she 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.160 doesn't hate me. I'm okay, no, seriously, that's what. 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.840 And then from that moment on then I was in 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.400 full control again and ended up winning in straight sets. 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:53.279 But yeah, and so the lesson here is don't your opponent. 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.840 Yeah, and I told a friend of mine that story 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.760 on another podcast, and she then proceeded to tell Serena 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.520 that exact story. I think Serena has never clapped another point. 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.640 That's amazing to be playing the US Open final and 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.640 then being worried if your opponent liked you or not. 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.640 I don't know why that came into my head and 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.080 why that mattered in that moment. 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.919 She doesn't hate me, Yeah, I'm all good now I 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:18.560 can just beat her. 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.080 Yeah, And then you're worried about the twenty five thousand 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:21.680 people in the crowd. 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:23.080 They probably hated you as well. 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:26.480 That wasn't so much of an issue. 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:28.240 As soon as they clapped at the end. 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:32.640 She was like, oh my god, it's all I care about. 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.240 The hindrance call? Was it? So there was first set 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:39.840 or second second, early in the second, early in the second, okay, 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:44.800 and then she berated the chair umpire right, and you're 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.719 just time you were sitting in your chair just zoning 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:48.839 it out or actually. 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.159 To be honest, I knew she was. I knew she 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.479 was going at her, but because it was so loud. 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.520 If you've ever been to the US. 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.360 I don't know if I've told you, but mine was 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.560 actually there for the twenty eleven US of and final. 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:06.240 It was it was just. 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:10.080 It's actually so loud on that court, and I couldn't 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:11.760 actually hear what she was saying. I knew that she 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.360 was doing something, but it was like far enough removed 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.000 and so loud I couldn't hear it, which was probably, 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.880 I mean, such a good thing because I couldn't then 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.840 actually really get involved with it, even just giving it 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:24.839 a second to think. 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:36.279 About anywhere inside. 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.039 But how do you like process or even get prepared 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.400 for that situation when you've got like Serena Williams, like 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.599 one of the most famous sportsmen to ever live sports 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.159 person to ever live screening fans, like a contentious call 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:48.800 going on, and you've just got to sit there and 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:50.360 just like get to it would be an out of 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:51.240 body experience. 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:53.120 You can't prepare for something. 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.360 I've never been through that before that moment or after 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.760 that moment. So yeah, I mean, yeah, I was just 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.160 it was meant to be that day. I actually I 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:04.400 knew I was going to win the match for the 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.440 night before. Somehow I just was really confident that I 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.120 was going to go there play. I knew exactly what 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.400 I want to do, and somehow, Yeah, I don't know why. 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.480 How often have you gotten that feeling when you. 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:15.520 Know, not very often. 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.040 I said I wish I had that feeling more times 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.360 than only once, but at least it was for the 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:26.920 US Open. But yeah, it was a very strange event, 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:27.680 of course. 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.640 Yeah, I mean against Serena in front of a hometown 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:35.640 crowd especially, and then her calling the chair umpire a hater, I. 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.240 Believe, which is great to say to. 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.920 Yeah, the rules, I mean there's match point. Look at 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:49.280 this what forehand inside out forehand to take it? 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.840 Seeing you here? Is that like? Is that happiness or 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:54.840 relief or is it like a mixture. 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:55.800 Of both everything? 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.000 Yeah, I mean it was a dream of mine to 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.400 win a Grand Slam and I lost in the final 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.320 of the French Open the year prior, and you know, 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:05.360 you don't know if you're ever going to get another chance. 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:09.800 So it's like a dream realized. It's relief, it's everything 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.280 sort of rolled into one and then it all becomes 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.120 a bit of a blur and you're like, oh, I 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:17.480 wish I could do that again, experience it and actually 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.480 like really take it only Oh. 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:25.160 Look at that they're not happy? Not happy? So a 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.960 six two six' three? Match how long was the actual? 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.000 Match the like it's going to be about an hour.
