Speaker 1: the tybreag eight six or something.
Speaker 2: Right, And what are you going like?
Speaker 3: What percentage are you going out at?
Speaker 1: Yeah, i'd say you're going through it. But it's not
Speaker 1: life or earth. You don't get to annoyed if you're
Speaker 1: winning or losing. But you're going after your serve. You're
Speaker 1: practicing things more than you would in a map. So
Speaker 1: I was practicing being aggressive on the return rather than
Speaker 1: making them thirty or but it turned out all right.
Speaker 2: And then straight back into the Players restaurant.

Speaker 1: I remember watching it, I remember the years I remember
Speaker 1: watching it growing up the sam Press. I see those
Speaker 1: kind of players hemman obviously, but I was invested. I
Speaker 1: was invested. I remember Goran lost to Sam Press at
Speaker 1: one final. I had a towel in his head.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the gore and your guy, isn't he my guy?
Speaker 1: When he won it in two thousand and one, I
Speaker 1: was over the moon, and I remember my mom wouldn't
Speaker 1: tell me. You had to record it on the cassette
Speaker 1: back then, and it was Monday it finished, and she
Speaker 1: wouldn't tell me who won, and I had to get
Speaker 1: in and watch it. She did tell me before because
Speaker 1: well she didn't give it away by a new yeah one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had to press play, yeah and watch.
Speaker 3: You can't avoid results now, can you know? It's just impossible. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Like our kids are never going to be able to
Speaker 3: avoid a result.
Speaker 1: No, it's all online now or a lunch break or.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah. I remember.
Speaker 3: My first win with a memory is actually Chris Bailey
Speaker 3: against Stevenisovich. Bailey had match points and even Nissovic hit
Speaker 3: a second serve ace.
Speaker 1: Yeah he did that a lot though, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh yeah, he just went.
Speaker 3: But it was huge, and it was before the big screen,
Speaker 3: and I was sitting outside with my mom and my
Speaker 3: grandma watching it on the scoreboard and hearing the cheers
Speaker 3: and John Lloyd come and sat next to us.
Speaker 2: You do and did the same, and.
Speaker 3: He was all made up for telling that big scream
Speaker 3: before the big screen.
Speaker 1: Was it wasn't called Hemmer Hills for ten months.
Speaker 3: Henman was about but he hadn't done, he hadn't made
Speaker 3: the hill. Yes, yeah, that's right. Yeah, I would say
Speaker 3: probably ninety four or five something like that.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I don't remember much from there.
Speaker 3: No, No, what's I mean day day one of Wimbledon
Speaker 3: as I walked over to that to Church Road because
Speaker 3: I'm here with my wife today and like we just
Speaker 3: walked over that hill and you see it. It's so
Speaker 3: goose bumpy in there, it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I actually like when i'm here obviously I'm in work more,
Speaker 1: but when I come and hit sometimes during the year
Speaker 1: and you walk down that hill and you see it's. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's something about it. I don't know what it is,
Speaker 1: but I get them, like when it's quiet like yesterday Sunday,
Speaker 1: just walking around it. It's just there's something about it.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but it is is
Speaker 1: pretty elite here, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unreal.
Speaker 3: And as a Crystal Palace fan, we've recently been to
Speaker 3: Wembley twice and there's that bit on the tube where
Speaker 3: you see the arch and stuff, and that's a bit
Speaker 3: kind of hairs on the back of the neck. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but nothing compares to this, I don't think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's something about the place and how it looks.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the wind way.
Speaker 1: It's only one Wimbledon.
Speaker 2: Yes, true. What's so what's the rest of your day
