00:00 The players have got to toughen up a little bit.
00:02 They're a bit precious.
00:05 I really like people locked out actually.
00:19 I think we need to sit still for the two games
00:22 and just keep that calm, keep that quiet.
00:25 They should be able to concentrate whether there's noise or no noise.
00:28 I remember they used to have the Australian open
00:32 while the fireworks were going on
00:34 and they didn't stop and break for that.
00:36 They just played through it,
00:37 which if you can play with fireworks going off,
00:39 you can surely play with somebody sitting down in their seat.
00:41 When our players are trying to concentrate,
00:43 we want to give them the best chance.
00:44 So probably might look at reverting back.
00:48 We had some people come through in between a game
00:52 during a really, really important point the other day.
00:57 And we missed seeing that point because they walked in front of us.
01:00 I think people should just wait.
01:02 And then once they're ready to get let in, they get let in.
01:06 From a spectator point of view,
01:08 we need to be allowed to go and watch the game.
01:11 Really?
01:18 Too woke.
01:20 Really?
01:21 Woke-a-star.
01:22 I think people are flipping that word around a little bit these days.
01:27 The Wokest Tournament.
01:28 I'd have to disagree with that statement.
01:29 I wouldn't say it's the Wokest.
01:30 I'd say it's one of the best.
01:31 (upbeat music)
