WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.319 So if he's got some good hands and feel, this 2 00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:07.360 is too good. It's not just the fact that he's won, 3 00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:12.240 it's the way he's played the match. He has a 4 00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:14.240 candy bar and an RC coke. 5 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.120 You are kidding me, Come. 6 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:22.559 On market and there's his unbelievable. 7 00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.199 Might have caught some unbelievable energy to the quarter with 8 00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:30.239 the fans and then with his player as well, and 9 00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:33.359 with his personality. So it was very, very refreshing to 10 00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:35.960 play against an appoint like this, you know, who draws 11 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.399 in the crowds and with some great shop making. 12 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:40.759 I'm not sure he can play on grass. That's that's good. 13 00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.359 And we're back at the National Tennis Center in our 14 00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:50.359 same lecture theater.

We'll pick him because yeah, I was actually 75 00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.919 quite good for school. Yeah, but sometimes you pick the 76 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:53.280 unit because you know they're going to be in goal 77 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:53.919 the whole time. 78 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:56.520 Yeah, so you pick. 79 00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:01.520 Yeah, yeah, you bet the star man first, surely, but 80 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:02.680 it changed all the time. 81 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.080 Captain football at school is basically just a bullhog. 82 00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:08.520 Yeah, someone shoots all the time. 83 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.000 Yeah yeah, yeah you didn't.

It's about three weeks the 126 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.399 start with the primer stove. You're at the end of 127 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:11.120 the first week of training. How are you feeling, Yeah. 128 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:15.279 Pretty sore, but healthilysa. You know, I've often you go 129 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.879 around playing tournaments, you'll play do a better training, but 130 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:19.560 matches are no longer an hour a lot of the time, 131 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:24.639 and yeah, you go three hour days plus gym. Yeah, 132 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.920 it's intense, but it's been great. Really enjoyed myself learning 133 00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:29.480 a lot playing with the best players in the world. 134 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.079 Well, this is it, because this is if you haven't 135 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:36.480 heard our previous podcast, you in you're in a kind 136 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:40.319 of Christmas training camp at postseason, pre season training camp 137 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:41.879 with the best doubles player in the world, with the 138 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:43.199 best doubles coach in the world. 139 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.720 Yeah, let me just check the notes. 140 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.199 The best doubles coach in the world, as signed off 141 00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:49.920 by Louis Kaye. 142 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:52.040 Yeah, that's the one. Yeah, I'm just going to make 143 00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:53.240 sure that I've got all of the notes. 144 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:59.279 So this week you've been doing these two hour training 145 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:03.600 blocks and basically just breaking down every individual part of 146 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:03.959 the game. 147 00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:04.560 Is that right? 148 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.040 Yeah, pretty much you've opened up into points, you know, 149 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.279 the last couple of days a bit more points scenarios, 150 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:13.240 but yeah, just just learning kind of how to train, 151 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.360 what drills to do tournaments. When you get to a tournament, 152 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:19.240 training is going to look quite different now to what 153 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.680 I'm used to. It's a lot less just hitting balls 154 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:25.439 and you know, getting your rhythm, which is important in 155 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.639 the first hit I suppose. But now we've got, you know, 156 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.759 so many drills we can take into our tournaments and 157 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.399 do you know between matches as well. So no, it's good. 158 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:37.480 I'm buying into it. It's really good. 159 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:42.839 Do you have like a camaraderie, a camaraderie with these people? 160 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.399 Camaraderie meaning I don't. 161 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:49.920 Know, like I would like a kind of in a 162 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.680 football club, obviously there's just a huge us and them, 163 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:55.879 feeling like if you're playing for a football team, you're 164 00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.600 so close to those people, they've become like brothers to you. 165 00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:00.879 And then you've got. 166 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:06.360 But here is different because ultimately you're trying to get 167 00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.439 each other's atp points and stuff like that. 168 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.560 It's weird, Yeah, it's weird. Doubles. It's like you get 169 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:14.160 on with people and you want them to do well, 170 00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:19.319 but everyone's competing for themselves, which is strange, right, But 171 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.000 for the time you're with your partner, you both want 172 00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.319 to be doing really well, but it doesn't always end 173 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:26.600 that way. But here you've got more established partners. You know, 174 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.560 you've got cash glass for you had Skotchki Stewsory last year. 175 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.799 There's a lot more switching going on nowadays. But I 176 00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:37.759 think our goal is to, you know, play play with 177 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.519 the same person as Britt's and try and push on 178 00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:42.480 as long as you possibly can. 179 00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:44.360 So do you like will you boys at the end 180 00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:48.279 of this three weeks? Will you be going out together? 181 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:49.559 Would you go and get dinner? 182 00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:50.320 Or is it like that? 183 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.919 Not so much. I think people have their personal lives 184 00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:58.559 outside of work. That's how I see it now, being 185 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.559 a Josh Josh my partner gets on quite well with 186 00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.360 with Lloyd, and that there are friendships within you know, 187 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:08.759 tennis at tournaments, we all go out together in the 188 00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:11.120 evenings and have some food depending on who's playing, what 189 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:15.320 time and stuff. But but yeah, you have you have 190 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:17.279 your friend groups. I'm obviously a loser and don't have 191 00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:18.799 any friends, so I just you know, I. 192 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.639 Was just about to say that, Yeah, it's one of 193 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.000 the things I like about you that I don't meet 194 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.519 someone who's more of a loser than me often, yes, 195 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:30.879 And it's one of the things that attracts me to you. 196 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.200 I'm very good at making people feel good about it. 197 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:36.679 I feel great, Yeah, I don't often feel handsome, No, 198 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:39.200 but after being here, yeah. 199 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.399 I do know. It really gives me a spring misket. 200 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.799 It's good and I'm taking that sacrifice through no choice 201 00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.799 of my own, to make everyone feel great about themselves. 202 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:53.480 But it's been, it's been. It's been cool being around here. 203 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:55.919 You know, it's still some of the legends walking around. 204 00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:58.759 You know, Luis car has been here for a while. 205 00:09:58.759 --> 00:09:59.840 You know, Jeremy Bates is. 206 00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.080 Still I can't meet him. 207 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:09.399 Why so if I've worked in TV and radio, okay, 208 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.159 and as you know, and I have been in the 209 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:18.720 room with Pele, Mhammad, Ali, David Beckham, whatever, right, and 210 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.039 I've done I did some sound for some Hollywood things 211 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.360 and was I actually hung out with Robert Redford enough 212 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.360 from Robert Redford to know my name and stuff like that, Right, Fine. 213 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.600 I couldn't meet Paul McCartney. I couldn't because I would 214 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:40.120 giggle like a schoolgirl and urinate. Yeah, and I could 215 00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:43.799 meet Ringo. Fine, I could meet Mick Jagger, even though 216 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:45.120 Mick Jagger is my guy. 217 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:50.919 Really, yeah, I can't meet Jeremy Bates too much of 218 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.240 a legend or yeah, Jeremy Bates and Paul McCartney are 219 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:58.159 on the same plane for me, really, yeah, Like as 220 00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:02.759 you first sational tennis match I ever saw was Jeremy 221 00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:07.799 Bates and he won. It was about eighty seven, maybe 222 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:12.279 eighty eight, and he won. It was on one of 223 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.879 the outside courts, but you know, a good, good outside court, 224 00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:19.919 and I was standing by the kind of benched area 225 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:21.240 and he came through and he gave me a little 226 00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:24.960 high five, And I think that single handedly changed the 227 00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:26.240 course of. 228 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:29.840 My existence right in. I thought, that looks like a 229 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:35.039 good thing to be. Right, to be Jeremy Bates is 230 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.200 a good thing. And I see Jeremy Bates around now 231 00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.240 in coaching circles, and earlier this week we walked past 232 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:48.639 him and you said, hi, And I can't do that. No, okay, 233 00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:52.080 I would block up. I would jam up fair enough. 234 00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.120 Who's yours? Who couldn't you meet? 235 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:01.799 I don't know. It would have been Jurgen Klop for 236 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.799 a bit. I really I love the guy, absolutely love 237 00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:06.720 the guy. But part of me would be like really excited. 238 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.720 But I know i'd see him and I just want 239 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:11.879 to ask him hundreds of questions and like hug him. Okay, yeah, 240 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:13.600 and that'll be a bit weird for someone you've just met. 241 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:15.919 So I feel like I couldn't like with. 242 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:21.559 With players baits, but Bates used to coach me, yeah, 243 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:25.120 in a group like a legend. And and you know 244 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:27.480 I hit with him when he was you know, finished, 245 00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:29.360 when I was fourteen, he was still like chopping us 246 00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:32.279 and the sets and stuff. Guys, unbelievable his volley right, yeah, 247 00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:35.200 volley back and just just a really good competitor and 248 00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:40.360 again like really demanding in terms of attitude and work great. 249 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:43.840 But was just I found that with him man as well, 250 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:45.720 they just even at the end of their careers, they 251 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.960 were just nails. They'd turn up and chopped I lost 252 00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:51.279 him and won and love in a practice match and 253 00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:53.000 he was like at the end of his career and 254 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:56.360 I'm meant to be a top junior, And just his 255 00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.639 intensity and just the way he trained and trained for long. 256 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.559 But like, this guy's so serious and he's at the 257 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:03.759 end of his career. What must have been like in 258 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:04.240 his peak. 259 00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:08.039 Well, I know someone who told me once that Herman 260 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:11.919 is the hardest trainer he's ever met, or yeah, anything 261 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:14.480 like that, and he's seen Murray close quarters. 262 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.159 Murray Murray was hard. Marriage put hours and hours in 263 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:24.200 as well. But yeah, Herman was kind of no emotion 264 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:26.440 behind as well, would just work and miss and get 265 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:29.840 on to the next one. Mary's a bit more. You know, 266 00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:31.399 you could see if he's having a good day or 267 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.080 a bad day or obviously I mean it's tough to 268 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:40.200 say who worked harder. But yeah, basically was he used 269 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:40.879 to terrify me? 270 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:43.480 Well just clam up? 271 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:50.039 Yeah yeah, what a player? I bet you? Yeah, yeah, 272 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:54.960 do you remember that time you played? And yeah that's 273 00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:56.200 not really mate. 274 00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:00.080 Yeah, God, that's the worry, isn't Yeah. 275 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:02.000 You give him a start and he kind of doesn't 276 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:03.679 remember it or looks at you like he does remember. 277 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:04.879 But how do you remember that? 278 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:05.279 Yeah? 279 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.120 Yeah, like where do you live?
