00:00Men's tennis now with the retirement of Federer with obviously Andy on his way
00:04to retirement and Dal on his way to retirement that there are a lot of
00:07players that are potentially capable of winning Wimbledon and winning
00:13other slams so obviously Sinha, Alcaraz, Djokovic, Massetti in the
00:18semi-finals now we have all sorts of players it's the most open I've seen
00:22men's tennis in a long long time. Well I mean to be honest Massetti surprised me
00:26I didn't think that he would be able to do as well on the grass as he has done
00:29I mean to beat Fritz the way that he did and I mean it's gonna be a tough
00:34ask against Djokovic but you know once you've gone deep in a tournament like
00:38that you're filled with confidence and you become a very different player I
00:41think Henry Searle he's a young British guy he won junior Wimbledon last year I
00:45think he's gonna be one to watch over the over the coming years and Jacob
00:48Fearnley as well I think he's gonna be one to watch he took a set off Novak
00:51Djokovic in the second round so a few of the British guys doing well too. I'm
00:56gonna be going over to the to the USA to prepare for the US Open so that's
01:00about five or six weeks away now so I'm gonna go down to London today start
01:05training over the weekend Tuesday I fly out to America. I think Davis Cup would
01:10be a great way to sort of whet your appetite for the sport if you if you
01:14have kids that you want to get interested in sports Davis Cup is a
01:16great place to start like I said you can get really loud you know you can you can
01:22chant you can shout you can the players are really interactive with the crowd as
01:25well they want the support you can obviously support the country I think
01:32that would be a great way to sort of start and and then I think you can
01:37obviously search up online about your local clubs if you if you want your kids
01:40or yourself to get involved in tennis from a playing perspective as well. It
01:45was my dad who who inspired me to play the sport he was the one who first got
01:49me to pick up a racket he was the one who kept me playing even when the going
01:52got tough at times you know he always carried on taking me to matches taking
01:57me to training it was kind of his his life's work you know to keep me playing
02:02the sport so if it wasn't for him then I probably never would have played and I
02:05never would have kept on playing
