<v Speaker 3>Center call tickets falling out of my pocket. Bearing in

72
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:47.000

<v Speaker 3>Looking like right now. Yeah, chaos, right, yeah, chaos And

76
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 3>and I did think a few years ago it's not

77
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 3>very many, but I think it's the right amount. Yeah,

78
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 3>considering you can't sit down to meet your lunch the

79
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.759
<v Speaker 3>first few days. But do you know what a place?

80
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:12.080
<v Speaker 3>What a place to? Yeah, good problems to have. I suppose.

81
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's all confirmed. You're playing tomorrow. After Billy went

82
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.439
<v Speaker 1>out of the singles today, and it's a shame. He

83
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 1>looked like he was just in that third set. He

84
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>looked like he was he could have nicked it. Have

85
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>you spoken to him?

86
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.920
<v Speaker 3>I haven't. I've just spoken to him to organize practice

87
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.680
<v Speaker 3>and stuff tomorrow, as you Yeah, as you can imagine,

88
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 3>I've got practice and stuff like that myself as well.

89
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 3>And I kept a nine score. But as you can imagine,

90
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.879
<v Speaker 3>he's coming off caught after to probably fifty messages and

91
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 3>he's got media stretching call down to do. So I'll

92
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.079
<v Speaker 3>speak to him tomorrow just before we probably about the match,

93
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.279
<v Speaker 3>and then yeah, we also kind of catch up when

94
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.600
<v Speaker 3>the event's done properly. Yeah, And there's so many different

95
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:57.519
<v Speaker 3>results going on, and then you're looking at the schedule

96
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.000
<v Speaker 3>and then you get in the queue for tickets, transport

97
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:06.680
<v Speaker 3>and stuff like that. Stringing kit. Yeah, I've done all right. Actually,

98
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.240
<v Speaker 3>I think I think I'm ready to go. I leave

99
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.879
<v Speaker 3>my rackets and stuff at Wimbled and so I don't

100
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 3>forget them. Yeah, which is which is good and choose

101
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.000
<v Speaker 3>and everything. So basically all my kit and rackets are there.

102
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.759
<v Speaker 1>You anxiety dreams that you've forgotten your rackets or turned

103
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>up naked or something like that.

104
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 3>I've had random dreams in like March or December where

105
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.839
<v Speaker 3>I'm playing Wimbledon and I'm like, I'm like four hours

106
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:34.519
<v Speaker 3>away and I've got to get there in an hour

107
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:39.240
<v Speaker 3>and I don't understand why I've got to make it

108
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:48.279
<v Speaker 3>to my match. But what a swansea as well? Playing

109
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.639
<v Speaker 3>playing like Bob the stringer from around the corner, and

110
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:54.680
<v Speaker 3>there's always a good player and a random person there,

111
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:56.759
<v Speaker 3>and you're always with someone random as well, aren't you.

112
00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Oh yeah for sure, yeah yeah.

113
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.439
<v Speaker 3>It's never like a reasonable match up that you yeah,

114
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:07.000
<v Speaker 3>that could ever be realistic. But yeah, I've had I

115
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:08.920
<v Speaker 3>have them Rundom and they're horrible because you wake up

116
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.040
<v Speaker 3>like and then you realize I'm not a Wimbled and

117
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:13.600
<v Speaker 3>then a seventy.

118
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Five K and brass of do you I mean people

119
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>who talk about their dreams. I asked you that question,

120
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 1>so this doesn't a six squoze up, but people who

121
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.560
<v Speaker 1>just tell you about their dreams it's quite boring.

122
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, so you just asked me. Really, I don't

123
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:33.800
<v Speaker 3>go downstairs and get what. Yeah, I don't think. Yeah,

124
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.959
<v Speaker 3>it's very nice, very real, until you wake up and go,

125
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.639
<v Speaker 3>oh yeah, yeah.

126
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm a dull dreamer though, Like I dream,

127
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm just doing basic admin, which kind of annoys me

128
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:48.040
<v Speaker 1>because I'm as in a dream I could be on

129
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:50.839
<v Speaker 1>the yacht with Jennifer Aniston, but I dream I'm just

130
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>h Yeah, I mean my budget pushes to more of

131
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.079
<v Speaker 1>like a pedlo in Bogner if she's up for it.

132
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:04.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's Center Park. That's quite expensive nowadays it is.

133
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

134
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Monte Carlo is slightly cheaper than Center Parks. So, yeah,

135
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:10.680
<v Speaker 1>you're on Caught five tomorrow.

136
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's the one.

137
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>If you're it's it's in the shadow of Center car

138
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>and it's over like that members balcony area where there's

139
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>like teas and stuff being served all day.

140
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:27.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, jam or cream first on the scone was gone.

141
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.959
<v Speaker 3>Two questions sc off gone jam or cream first?

142
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:33.199
<v Speaker 2>Scone jam cream?

143
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.800
<v Speaker 3>You just scone cream jam.

144
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's fine. I think we can get over these differences.

145
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.279
<v Speaker 1>I think it's nothing a couple's therapists can't work out.

146
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but that's fine. Well, I'll just turn it upside

147
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:45.800
<v Speaker 3>down if you make me one.

148
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:51.879
<v Speaker 1>Okay, sure, sure it is. Do you have a favorite?

149
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:56.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean you've played on center car, but is it's

150
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.519
<v Speaker 1>called five? Like you do you look at that and

151
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 1>think I wish we were on seven or anything like that?

152
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.959
<v Speaker 3>No, not really, I mean out of the I like

153
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:08.519
<v Speaker 3>court three, but yeah, I mean it's so early in

154
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.480
<v Speaker 3>the tournament you don't get doubles on that just yet. Yeah,

155
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:12.920
<v Speaker 3>but I mean they're all good.

156
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.759
<v Speaker 2>All three has got like a bowl.

157
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:18.959
<v Speaker 3>Between four and six for those who are interested.

158
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:23.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the cal five is is like kind of in

159
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the middle of that run, isn't it? So call three

160
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:32.559
<v Speaker 1>has got that and then if you related only Yeah,

161
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.919
<v Speaker 1>and there's one bench for like you guys in another

162
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:38.559
<v Speaker 1>bench for the opposition, And that's it, isn't.

163
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:42.960
<v Speaker 3>It something like that? You get some people walking their

164
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:44.519
<v Speaker 3>dogs through the middle the middle of the match.

165
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, how do you deal with that?

166
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.679
<v Speaker 1>So I know at club level if anyone like seems

167
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:53.000
<v Speaker 1>to move within about a miles radius of an accountant

168
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:56.000
<v Speaker 1>playing in the second round of their club singles like

169
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:59.919
<v Speaker 1>whole play. You guys have got so much going on

170
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.320
<v Speaker 1>around you, are you very aware of people walking and

171
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>moving and talking.

172
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.000
<v Speaker 3>If it's consistent noise, it's fine, like you hear shots

173
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.000
<v Speaker 3>and come ons from other courts and stuff like that.

174
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.759
<v Speaker 3>It's if there's no one there's a sudden noise, or

175
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:18.960
<v Speaker 3>if there's a few people and you see three people

176
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:24.039
<v Speaker 3>jumping around. But honestly, I don't really notice mid match,

177
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:31.120
<v Speaker 3>to be honest, because there's always noise from somewhere. It's weird.

178
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.799
<v Speaker 3>It's it's weird when you like when I played singles

179
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:38.240
<v Speaker 3>on on Center and the Mixed Doubles last year, like

180
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.120
<v Speaker 3>during the Rudy, you just hear the ball moving around.

181
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:49.879
<v Speaker 3>It's strange. M But I think, yeah, I've never really

182
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.320
<v Speaker 3>noticed people doing certain things while I've been playing, Like

183
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.720
<v Speaker 3>there's planes flying around all the time, there's balls flying

184
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:02.279
<v Speaker 3>around as noises commands. Yeah, Yeah, It's kind of just

185
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:03.399
<v Speaker 3>one of those things, isn't it.

186
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:06.039
<v Speaker 2>So what does the next twenty four hours look like

187
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:06.440
<v Speaker 2>for you.

188
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:11.080
<v Speaker 3>Get a shower, get a bit of food, go to sleep,

189
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:14.720
<v Speaker 3>wake up, get in the car, get to site, get

190
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:17.840
<v Speaker 3>to the changing rooms, get my practice, kut on, see

191
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:23.320
<v Speaker 3>the physio, what kind of time, and I'll probably be

192
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:27.399
<v Speaker 3>there ten thirty. Yeah, now, grab a quick coffee or

193
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:31.080
<v Speaker 3>whatever i'd like. Bit into the gym, warm up, go

194
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.919
<v Speaker 3>over to a rangye warm up there, twelve thirty, hit

195
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:41.480
<v Speaker 3>to one quick stretch, back over, check the scores if

196
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.679
<v Speaker 3>it's the label, have another hit again at some point,

197
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.200
<v Speaker 3>maybe at a range or maybe on the indoor, but

198
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.200
<v Speaker 3>just yeah, load up on some food, not too much,

199
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:51.000
<v Speaker 3>and then I go and sit in the change rooms. Twiness.

200
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:53.919
<v Speaker 3>I don't socialize because it's quite draining. As you can imagine,

201
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:57.960
<v Speaker 3>the phone goes off, phone goes.

202
00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:01.919
<v Speaker 2>Off here, and you're sitting in with Billy in a

203
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:02.559
<v Speaker 2>change room.

204
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:05.759
<v Speaker 3>No, I mean there's people in the change rooms everywhere.

205
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:08.279
<v Speaker 3>I don't know where his locker is, but we'll obviously

206
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:12.480
<v Speaker 3>speak before the match. But we know each other's games,

207
00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:13.799
<v Speaker 3>we know what we've got to go out there and do.

208
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:20.399
<v Speaker 3>And and yeah, I'll be sat. You get your locker

209
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 3>in the change room when you first pitch up and

210
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:24.159
<v Speaker 3>you're around the same players for.

211
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:25.960
<v Speaker 2>That.

212
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.279
<v Speaker 3>So I guess we'll catch up maybe at the cafe

213
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:31.039
<v Speaker 3>slightly close to the match and then go warm up

214
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.559
<v Speaker 3>and we'll be in the gym together most likely before

215
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:34.240
<v Speaker 3>we get called out.

216
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.000
<v Speaker 2>And you just said, then you know what you've got

217
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:38.120
<v Speaker 2>to do, what you've got to.

218
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:43.159
<v Speaker 3>Do, play well day. It really is simple for us.

219
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:45.480
<v Speaker 3>We've I've got to go and get the balance right

220
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.200
<v Speaker 3>with how much to use my hands and serve and

221
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:50.240
<v Speaker 3>and Billy's got to do what he does, stay locked

222
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.960
<v Speaker 3>into return, serve well, serve a high percentage, and be

223
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:59.080
<v Speaker 3>able to adapt to whatever your opponent's doing. If we're

224
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.480
<v Speaker 3>losing points doing certain thing, then try and change up.

225
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:04.039
<v Speaker 3>Obviously we've got a very difficult match, so it's just

226
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:09.360
<v Speaker 3>stay positive and you know, there's there's Unfortunately you're not

227
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.039
<v Speaker 3>You've got a clear, clear plans. You're not like you know,

228
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:15.360
<v Speaker 3>in some CoV League matches as a guy who'd backhand,

229
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:23.039
<v Speaker 3>so you just serve there. It's not like that. Yeah,

230
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.399
<v Speaker 3>So it's one of those things you've got to be

231
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:28.519
<v Speaker 3>able to quickly adapt and then play your game, but

232
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.559
<v Speaker 3>more importantly just try and enjoy it and stay positive.

233
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I suppose I guess from your side, if Billy's Billy serving, well,

234
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:37.960
<v Speaker 1>you're going to get lots of chances up at the net,

235
00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:42.279
<v Speaker 1>and you're dangerous there. You're a big server and you'll

236
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.600
<v Speaker 1>give Billy lots of chances at the net.

237
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:48.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's it. It's just about keeping consistent in a game.

238
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:49.679
<v Speaker 3>You can't have a game where you miss all your

239
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:52.559
<v Speaker 3>first serves and hit a couple of doubles, and that's

240
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.080
<v Speaker 3>when it gets difficult. It's about staying consistent that we're

241
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.480
<v Speaker 3>not expecting to three fourices a game, but if we can,

242
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:03.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, putting off good serves in per game. You

243
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.360
<v Speaker 3>could serve eighty percent, but the twenty percent all goes

244
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.000
<v Speaker 3>wrong in one game and you lose four and four.

245
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:10.440
<v Speaker 3>So it's just about you know, staying present and you

246
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.080
<v Speaker 3>know if you if you do miss a couple of serves,

247
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:14.759
<v Speaker 3>make sure the next one goes in. But easily said

248
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:15.279
<v Speaker 3>and done.

249
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:19.159
<v Speaker 1>Are you aware of your playing style and the fact

250
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:27.759
<v Speaker 1>that public and Chiboi probably haven't played someone like you.

251
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:29.679
<v Speaker 3>You probably not know that they're just going to go

252
00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:31.159
<v Speaker 3>and do their thing, and if they do it well,

253
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:32.840
<v Speaker 3>then they're very dangerous. I don't think they're going to

254
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:37.960
<v Speaker 3>think about it too much. You know, Chibali still got

255
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:40.159
<v Speaker 3>to play a singles match in the morning, so he'll

256
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:44.080
<v Speaker 3>be thinking about that, which makes them dangerous. You know.

257
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:45.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't think they're going to worry too much if

258
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.759
<v Speaker 3>they go break down, yeah or panic per se, so

259
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.240
<v Speaker 3>they won't be thinking about this match right now. I'll

260
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:55.519
<v Speaker 3>tell you that. Really, no chance Chibali is focused on

261
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:57.799
<v Speaker 3>getting rest and being in bed soon because he's got

262
00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:01.200
<v Speaker 3>a singles match. Yeah, eleven o'clock. That's that's public. I

263
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:02.080
<v Speaker 3>don't know what he's doing.

264
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:03.639
<v Speaker 2>But and he'll finish.

265
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:09.000
<v Speaker 1>He'll finish the singles, yeah, I mean, go and get

266
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:09.559
<v Speaker 1>rested up.

267
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Media practice fans are but yeah, exactly.

268
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:15.200
<v Speaker 2>So he may not practice before the doubles.

269
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.399
<v Speaker 3>He won't. He won't hit balls after five set singles

270
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.919
<v Speaker 3>match now, but I think he's hit enough balls to

271
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.120
<v Speaker 3>be to not worry too much.

272
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, in his life, Yeah of course.

273
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:29.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, no, just I mean that day. I never

274
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:31.000
<v Speaker 3>used to warm up for doubles, and I side a

275
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.919
<v Speaker 3>huge gap. If I played a three hour singles two

276
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:36.159
<v Speaker 3>hour singles match, I'd go and get rested and make

277
00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:37.679
<v Speaker 3>sure the body's are okay, and then you give you

278
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.759
<v Speaker 3>five minute warm up and off you go. You know,

279
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:42.639
<v Speaker 3>you do them. We've got half in our match warm

280
00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:44.720
<v Speaker 3>up to get all the body warmed up and practice

281
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:47.279
<v Speaker 3>all our shots. He's done that for two hours, so

282
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:51.840
<v Speaker 3>it's not yeah, yeah, that's what I expect. I mean,

283
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:53.960
<v Speaker 3>some people do it, but they love it. They're animals.

284
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, Marcus, the next time we talk will be after

285
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:03.039
<v Speaker 1>the match. So we've had we've had a message from

286
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Martin in Hampshire just wishes you and Billy the best

287
