Short filmTranscript
00:00 The life of an athlete, it is all-encompassing.
00:04 Your body is your instrument.
00:07 You were incredible today.
00:09 It wasn't even like tennis, it was an entirely different game.
00:11 Come on!
00:13 It was very important to Luca that we all work together,
00:16 train together, do tennis together.
00:19 I wanted them to disappear within these characters,
00:23 which are three very trained athletes.
00:28 So we had Brad Gilbert, who was our advisor,
00:30 I mean, he's a legend,
00:32 training the actors for tennis, for body, for sports abilities.
00:37 The overhead shots, the underneath shots, the behind shots,
00:44 it's very physically demanding,
00:46 but to see the work that Mike, Josh and Z put in
00:50 to make it the best possible tennis,
00:52 Let's go!
00:54 that's what I get excited about.
00:56 Tennis is their life.
00:58 I'm playing for both of us, Tashi.
01:00 Blood, sweat and tears every day.
01:02 It's been a lot of hard work, and that was fun for me.
01:05 This is a game about winning the points that matter.
01:09 You wish you never, ever met an enemy.
01:13 I love you.
