(CROWD APPLAUSE)

Wimbledon final.

That was, kind of like, the future
and the present going head-to-head.

Djokovic was the huge favourite.

Everybody thought, "There's no
chance Alcaraz wins this one."

But then Carlos Alcaraz
was something a bit special.

After five sets,
Alcaraz has match point.

You have the adrenaline,
you have the excitement,

but you've gotta control those
nerves and put 'em together.

It's not easy to do,
but the greats of our game

find a way to push through it.

(CROWD CHEERS)

COMMENTATOR: 'Djokovic is deposed.

There's a new king of Centre Court.'

Alcaraz holds strong,
wins in five sets.

'He's beaten the best of all time.'

This generation's not here
to compete...

..they're here to win, now.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

'It's just too good
from Emma Raducanu.'

The next generation, they're not
even the future, they're right now.

For me, if this is where tennis is
going, it's like, 'Wow. Wow.'

'Who is this guy?'

You get all these Twitter trolls
saying, like,

'Oh, you can't do this.
You can't do that.'

It's judgement and expectation
on the biggest scale.

She delivers, whether it's on a
tennis court or behind a camera.

'Cause I'm fighting for
the future for my brothers,

I'm fighting for the future
for my future kids.

(PHONECHIMES)

All these social media pages,

just adds so much more to the
expectation and the pressure.

If there is noise, it means
that I'm doing something right.

Physio! Absolute joke, man.

I want to be the best in history.

CASH: Seeing them move through,

from talent, to champions,

to superstars...

'Oh, stop it.'

..phew! Gonna be some action.

(CROWD APPLAUSE)

'What a wonderful moment
for Australia

and Cash in particular,
and the family.'

(CLEARS THROAT) Mm.

You have no idea
how hard it is to win,

to get to a- to get IN
to a Grand Slam tournament,

let alone win a match,
let alone win a few matches,

let alone win one.

'And a tremendous hand for this
22-year-old boy from Melbourne.'

I won one and I went,
'You know what,

I'm pretty happy with that.'

Winning a Grand Slam is the biggest
thing that can happen in our sport.

Pete Sampras won 14 Grand Slams.

Everyone said, in the tennis world,
'This record is unbeatable.

Nobody in the history are gonna
score more than 14 Grand Slams.'

And then all of a sudden,
the big three showed up,

Djokovic, Federer, Nadal,
who all broke his record.

On the women's side, the Williams
sisters have changed tennis forever.

They have become much
bigger than tennis.

The Williams sisters
changed our sport

into such an obvious degree

that it's like asking...

how important is oxygen, really...

(LAUGHS) ..in the atmosphere?

As a young person in
a predominantly white sport,

you know, having two black women
highly successful

was just so inspiring.

Yeah, they're big shoes
to fill. (LAUGHS)

You can't live up to that.

(LAUGHS) No one can live up to that.

Everybody always worries,
'When the greats go away,

what's gonna happen next?
Is there gonna be any great players?

Is there gonna be
any great rivalries?'

Yeah, it's never in doubt.

And now the next generation
looks like,

you know, we've got some
real contenders.

Alcaraz, Sinner, Holger Rune
has shown up.

In the ladies' game, Coco Gauff,
Sabalenka, Swiatek are there.

And from a British perspective,
in the men's game,

you've gotta look at Jack Draper.

So, there's these players here
who have to take the mantle across.

But this new young generation
are under immense pressure,

because of all this social media,
all the noise...

..all the comments,
all the opinions about them,

how they look, how they're playing,

what should they be saying.
It's enormous.

But for me, the one player
with the most pressure on her,

being an American, you know,
following the footsteps of Serena,

is Coco Gauff.

'Well covered by Gauff.'

I did play her, and...

with good reason she whooped my butt.
(LAUGHS)

This is Serena's poster.

Having this is kind of a reminder
of where I want to go.

I think Coco Gauff has been aware
since she was a young teenager

that she has been touted
as the next American star

and someone who perhaps could
fill Serena Williams's shoes.

I want to be the best ever,
I want to be better than Serena,

and I want to have that
Grand Slam record one day.

MOURATOGLOU: I met Coco
when she was ten-years-old.

She came to the academy.

We tested her the whole week
and at the end of the week

I said to my whole team,
'This one is gonna be a top, top.'

I see her really special.
She had the whole package.

She was seeing herself
really as a champion.

So, I thought,
'I wanna work with her.

I want to help developing her,

because I see her as
a potential Grand Slam winner.'

This was the finals last year.

I was the youngest ever to make it
to the finals of the US Open.

This is the French Open trophy.

It's my first junior slam,

and I was actually the youngest in,
I think, 23 or 24 years to win it.

And of course we've been talking
about her since she was 15,

when she burst onto the scene
at Wimbledon as a qualifier,

announced herself
on the grandest of stages.

Coco Gauff, she just blew me away.

Come on!
'What a debut. What an opening set.

And it's Gauff who takes it.'

At 15, she was qualifying
in Wimbledon

and beating Venus Williams.

I just thought, you know, 'That's
not your average young teenager.'

(CROWD CHEERS)

'She's got something special,
and she is going to be a star.'

CANDI: I'm very proud. As a mom,
one of the things that you do,

you put all your efforts
into your children,

to make sure that they're successful,

and to see the reaction and emotions
on your child's face is great to see.

And from that moment on,
all eyes were on her,

and so much expectation.

CASH: Everybody got very excited
about her...

..and then she levelled off.

You know, she had some serious
problems in her game.

MOURATOGLOU: When you have so much
expectations on your shoulders,

you are not allowed to lose.

You feel, 'If I lose one match,
it's a big deal.'

So, imagine playing a match with
that type of pressure all the time.

It's crazy. So, the expectations
of the tennis world were crazy.

She had so much pressure
to deal with,

which was tough.

(PHONE CHIMES)

ROBSON: She had all that noise,
so I think just finding that belief,

even though there's a lot
of negative energy around you.

It's never from your team or from
your colleagues or anything,

it's always from outside areas.

KONTA: The way she's handled
the whole circus,

because it is a bit of a circus,
around her,

and the excitement around her,
she's used everything, I think,

to just continue to grow.

At the end, it's gonna be
an asset for her,

because she has learned to deal with
crazy pressure since she's young,

so that means that she has
so much more experience in that

than all the other players.

She's more than just
the tennis player, you know.

Off the court, she also makes you
hear what she's got to say,

because she's really interesting.

You see the speech?
PRODUCER: Yeah.

When I saw that speech that she
gave on her social media,

for Black Lives Matter,
I was shocked.

I was super emotional, because
I thought that was so amazing.

So, you need to not be silent,
'cause if you are choosing silence,

you are choosing to
the side of the oppressor.

So, I heard many things
the past week,

and one of the things I heard is,
'Well, it's not my problem.'

So, this is why I have
to tell you this.

If you listen to black music,
if you like black culture,

if you have black friends...
(APPLAUSE)

..then this is your fight too.

She has so much assurance
when she speaks.

She sounds like a leader of
a political party at 16,

which is something she never,
ever did in her life.

So, that's crazy.
You put the camera on and boom,

she delivers, whether it's on a
tennis court, or behind a camera.

So, she has something
really special.

When I think about Coco Gauff,
I think, "Yes," you know,

"I want my daughter to be
able to look up to her.

You're a great tennis player,
but you're an even better person."

STADIUM ANNOUNCER: Coco Gauff!

We saw a breakthrough
at the French open in '22.

(INTENSE ROCK MUSIC)

(APPLAUSE)

And to be able to get to
a Grand Slam final in '22,

and then back it up this year
by winning,

obviously the biggest title for her,
the US Open,

is quite something.

(INTENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

KEOTHAVONG: And now she can call
herself a Grand Slam Champion..

..and she's just gonna go
from strength to strength.

She's already a veteran on tour,
basically,

and she's still a teenager.

And for the women's game,
you need some iconic superstars.

The fact that you had Serena and
Venus that were legendary

for the last few years,
so we need stories like that,

and I think Coco is our new story
in the women's game.

I think for our sport in general,

we need some personalities that
are a little bit outspoken.

CROFT: That's why I think it's so
interesting we have Holger Rune.

My kids loved him. They were like,
'Mum, this kid is amazing.

I can't stop watching him.'

He's so fiery.

He is really a big personality.

No, the wide call,
the wide mark, the wide-

UMPIRE: Advantage Frawley.

Our non-tennis fan needs to come to
the game because of personalities.

REPORTER: Are you worried about the
reputation you've gained here?

People are writing more about your
behaviour than your tennis sometimes.

You're certainly asking me more
about my behaviour than my tennis.

I mean, my generation, 1980s,
McEnroe was the bad boy.

If everybody says, 'Oh, I like him,
he's such a great guy,

it's so wonderful,' I'm bored.

CASH: Well, Holger Rune
has a bit of...

Uh...

So, my name is Holger Rune.

He's got a bit of-
Holger's got a bit of...

I'm 20-years-old
and I'm from Denmark.

(LAUGHS) I was gonna swear there.

A bit of bastard about him.

Physio!

Absolute joke, man!

I don't know, I kind of like that.

He clearly winds up a lot
of players on The Tour.

He likes to prod and poke

and get under the skin of opponents.

Huh?

And yet, off the court
he's got this, sort of, baby face.

He's utterly charming.

It's, you know, it's a personality.

The way I play the best
is when I show emotion.

Everyone is different, you know,
some players are more calm,

some players are more loud,
and, you know,

people always react to the people
that are more loud.

You know, that's how life is.

CASH: Holger, he walks his own path.

He's a bit different,

and he's had very well-known
public fights with his mum,

with his coach, the Twitter fights.

I'm happy, because if there is noise

it means that I'm doing
something right.

You know, if there is no noise,
I don't do anything,

so it's a good thing,
it's nice to get the compliment,

and when you don't get
the compliment it's also nice,

because it shows that
they talk about you.

Everyone is different,
and I think that's good,

because imagine
everybody would be quiet.

I don't think anyone would watch
tennis. So, it's good.

I started playing tennis for the
first time when I was six-years-old.

You know, it's all step by step,

and I think it's important to,
like, really enjoy the journey,

because it's long. You know,
you cannot think when you're...

you know, 10, 11-years-old that,

'I only want to be playing tennis
when I'm a top ten player.'

You need to, you know,
go with the flow

and be extremely excited to improve,
and that I always had in me.

MOURATOGLOU: I met Holger the first
time when he was 13 and a half.

He came to my academy for
a test and I really liked him.

I thought he had the fire inside.

He lives for that,

to be a Grand Slam Champion,
to be a number one.

At 13 and a half,
he was already living for that,

believing a lot in himself.

COACH: Good. Sweet.

He has something a bit animal

that you might like or dislike
when he's on the court,

but this is also his strength.
He's a beast.

But then you start on the
professional tour and then you lose,

and then you're like,
'OK, I wasn't good, actually.'

And then the real work starts.

And it's like, you have to,
you know, be stronger physically,

because all of a sudden you play
against guys that are experienced,

you know, have been there
for a long time,

know how to win matches
on this level.

And you're, you know, coming in
there as the new guy,

nobody knows you, and, you know,

people don't respect you
the same way also.

So it's like, it's difficult,
but, you know,

there is only one way,
and it's to win.

So, when I played the Paris Masters
final against Novak,

was a great match.

I told myself, you know,
'Playing Novak in the final,

I can't expect to win this match,
I'm just gonna fight everything

to try to make it a match.'

Once I made it a match, I saw that
I had a chance to win,

and I went for it.

(APPLAUSE)
'How about that?'

I was really in a fighting
spirit in that match,

and that was really needed, because
I was down, back against the wall,

so there was only one way,
that was to give it all.

(APPLAUSE)
'That's an incredible dig.'

And then it was the biggest relief
of my career,

when I won that last point.

(CROWD CHEERS)

'Quite remarkable conclusion

to a remarkable week in Paris.'

That was like a bomb
in the tennis world.

I'm not saying nobody expected him
to do well, because I think

a lot of people thought one day
this guy is gonna be great,

but to explode like that, and Novak,
who's the legend of the game

and who won three Grand Slams this
year, and you beat him in the final,

in a crazy match, then you think,

'Wow, I'm ready to win
a Grand Slam.'

'First Masters title for
the teenager from Denmark.'

Now I don't know how good I can be,
so now the real work starts.

When I am close to finish my career,
I want to look back and say,

'OK, I fulfilled everything
I had inside of me,'

and why I work in the
cold tennis court today.

CROFT: I think Holger Rune,
he's not shy,

he, kind of, wears his heart
on his sleeve,

and I think when you take on a big,
high-profile name like Boris Becker,

it's just going to hype things up.

And I think with Boris Becker,
you know,

he was known as somebody
who thrived on pressure.

He won Wimbledon when he was 17.

(CROWD CHEERING)

And then he retained the title
the following year.

So, in many ways,
that's quite a smart appointment.

It's super cool to work with Boris.

He helped me to get back on
my good level, you know,

after a hard period
over the summer.

I mean, the whole goal is
to go to the next level,

and since then we've just been
starting to build,

obviously a lot on the serve,
as I can't hide.

When we're, you know, speaking about
the things we need to improve,

we're both very open,
and I think we're...

a good couple on the court.

For opponents to see what we call
'super coaches' in the corner,

it kind of adds a bit of extra
weight on the sidelines.

So, that's something extra, isn't
it, for players to think about.

"Oh, what's he learning from
Boris Becker?" Or, you know,

"What extra things does this
give him on the court mentally,

as much as it does tactically,
and physically?"

I'm working on a lot of things.

I'm never gonna say what I'm working
on, you'll see that hopefully.

It is very hard physically.

You know, it's a lot of discipline
every day to be able to, you know,

wake up, do the same things, you
know, you have to put in the hours.

And, you know, some days you wake
up, you feel great, and it's good.

Some days you don't feel great and
you've gotta put in a great effort.

But just this is exciting, you know,
because where is the limit?

And I think if you can reach your
limit, I think it's exciting

to see how much you can win.

To become a champion,

you cannot be normal.

They have incredibly high
expectations from themselves.

And they are driven.

FERRERO: Is it hard to sacrifice?
Yes, of course,

because most of the times you wanna
have a normal life with your friends.

It's very important to understand
what's the dedication,

because for a tennis player
it has to be every day.

You know, every day comes.

It's a lot of sacrifice, so you
might miss out on every other thing

that you've been invited to.

You know, I've certainly missed
weddings, birthdays, everything,

but that's what's expected.

KEOTHAVONG: Life on Tour is fun.
You can make it as fun as you want,

certainly if you're not winning
every tournament each week. (LAUGHS)

If you are able to succeed,
there is, you know,

that kind of pressure
that can be a burden.

So, I won Junior Wimbledon
when I was 14,

kind of out of nowhere,
so it wasn't...

in any way expected for me
to win the tournament.

And it just was, like,
an otherworldly experience.

I think I went to a different
planet over the course of that week.

And for someone like Emma,

I would not even put me
in the same category,

because she literally went
zero to a hundred

within the space of one summer.

I think Emma is, like,
in a league of her own.

I think for Emma Raducanu, her life
changed so dramatically overnight,

and, you know, she's gone
from taking her A-levels,

being a, sort of, schoolgirl
and training down in Kent,

and suddenly projected
onto the world stage.

She had a ranking down in the 300s,

she'd never played on the main Tour,

people were unfamiliar with her,

and, you know,
she just burst through.

I remember she was playing Wimbledon
and she was playing her first round,

and I was on the radio being like,
"People should watch this girl,

she's very good."
And then she made fourth round,

and then US Open a few weeks later,

quali through to winning the
tournament. It's just unheard of.

What was she,
was she 18 when she won it?

It was just simply a fairy-tale.

I don't think, having seen her
as a 12-year-old,

I don't think anyone
could've predicted

that she would be
a Grand Slam Champion when she did.

I've had an amazing few weeks,

so I'm still trying to take it all in

and adjust to what's going on,
but extremely happy.

And she's coming home,
heroine's welcome, you know,

she's playing with Kate Middleton
out on the court.

She signed up, I don't know
how many endorsements,

and everybody just
wants a piece of her.

What's happened since to Emma?
Well...

expectations, uh, injuries.

You know, it's been challenging
for her since then.

UMPIRE: 'Miss Golubic wins,
4-3 retirement.'

(APPLAUSE)
'And that is such a shame.

The two players come together,

and it's another huge injury blow
for Emma Raducanu.'

She's had a bit of everything.

You know, ankle, wrist, she was
dealing with some back problems.

'And the misfortune of Emma Raducanu
continues. Tears for the Briton.'

I think I pulled something,

and I'm not really sure
what exactly happened.

I kind of just came off court,
but, like,

absolute freak injury, I think.

And, yeah, it's... I dunno what
I could've done more about it,

so that's it.

Yeah, it's I just couldn't
really do anything.

PRESS: Alright, thank you guys.

KONTA: I wouldn't be surprised
if she possibly has felt like

she wished she'd never won the US
Open in the first place,

because it's suddenly had a massive
influx of opinions and eyeballs,

where there were none previously.

(PHONE CHIMES)

It's that feeling of just negativity

every time you're not out on court.

And for me,
the major concern for Emma

has been that she hasn't
had a consistent team.

In a year and a half,
we've had multiple coaches,

and that just doesn't bring
the consistency that's needed.

And if she can get that, then she
can fulfil her immense potential.

So, what of Emma now?

Well, she's still
a global superstar.

No one's taking that
Grand Slam away from her.

You know, will she come back?
Will she develop her confidence?

Well, that's gonna take a while.

CROFT: But now I feel like
the pressure's off.

I feel like this is a new beginning.

This is Emma Raducanu mark two,

and it feels like maybe things
will start to happen again,

because we know she can play.

You don't win the US Open

if you don't have something
quite special about you.

You know, when you come through
as a young player,

particularly in Britain, and we have
a Grand Slam, one of the biggest,

if not the biggest, with Wimbledon,
in our home Slam,

so there's added pressure of
everybody wanting a piece of you,

everybody wanting you to do well.

So, I found it very pressurising.

KONTA: Obviously Andy Murray,
when he will... hang up the racket,

it will be a sad day
for men's tennis.

But we still have, you know,
interest on the men's side

with Cam Norrie.

But I think Jack Draper's really
exciting for us,

because he's young.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

'That'll do it.

He's beaten his idol.

And it'll be Jack Draper
who progresses to the last 16

here at Indian Wells.'

I think Jack can be
a regular part of the top ten.

You know, he's got an X factor.

UMPIRE: Game, set, and match, Draper.
(APPLAUSE)

COMMENTATOR: 'It's Jack Draper
who's victorious.

He'll now play just his
second ATP tour final.

It's a great start
to the 2024 season

for the 22-year-old Brit.'

The first time I actually
cooked any chicken,

I put it in the pan
without any olive oil,

burnt the whole pan.

It's just basic stuff, really,
isn't it? (LAUGHS)

I absolutely adore Jack Draper.
(LAUGHS)

He's a funny boy. (LAUGHS)

I haven't- I'm not doing
my rice properly. It's in this.

That's bad of me, I know,
but I just can't be arsed.

But I supposed maybe if I make
enough money one day,

I can get a chef.

But I suppose I've been
injured the whole year,

so I can't afford that. (LAUGHS)

It's such a big thing for your
mental health and everything,

to have a good balance
outside of tennis.

Before I lived here,
I didn't know how to cook,

how to wash my own clothes, didn't
know how to do a lot of things,

just because I was so busy
all the time focusing

on trying to be
a great tennis player.

RUSEDSKI: I've known Jack
since he's been about 15,

and Jack was the youngster
we were always looking at.

You know, lefty like myself,
big serve,

got to the Wimbledon junior finals,

and we saw the potential there.

(APPLAUSE)

It's unbelievable.
I came here in 2013

and watched Murray win it
after so many, sort of, nearlys,

and that gave me a lot of inspiration
to actually become a tennis player

and achieve amazing things.

So, yeah, it means the world.

The question was,
was he gonna grow into his body,

when is he gonna have
the right work ethic?

Because transitioning from the
junior game to the senior game,

we've seen many times
Junior Wimbledon champions,

world number ones, who haven't
had a career, let's be frank,

because they don't
have a game for the senior game.

As a young player, you have
to grow up incredibly quickly

and learn fast.

(APPLAUSE)'That's relentless
hitting from Jack Draper.'

I think my first ATP win,
against Sinner, was huge,

being on centre court at Queen's.

UMPIRE: Game, set, and match,
Draper.(CHEERS)

'And Jack Draper records his first
career ATP tour main draw win.'

You've gotta go and win the match,
and I did incredibly well to win.

You just knew already that he was
gonna be a great player.

But the real issue so far is that,

just that he hasn't been able
to stay healthy

to play a full consistent year
out on Tour.

RUSEDSKI: For him,
health is his wealth.

If he didn't have the injuries he
had over the last year,

year and a half, he would be top 20
in the world, in my opinion, now.

It was frustrating, because
I felt like I was always injured,

but I was always working hard,
putting in the work,

putting in the hours,

and really focused on improving.

Like, I had a really serious
shoulder injury

and a couple of ab problems.

You know, you can't play, you can't
train, you can't do anything.

I mean, I feel like, it's like
anything, even if it's not sport.

Some periods you go through times
where you feel like you're, kind of,

treading water and maybe you're
not in a great headspace,

and maybe you're not
feeling too great.

But definitely at the moment,
in the last four months, for me,

I feel like I've been
constantly improving

since I've come back from injury.

So, I feel like I'm in a great spot
and improving a lot at the moment.

For me, to fulfil my potential as a
tennis player is my biggest goal,

and then hopefully the rest
will come with that.

Whether that's winning Slams or,
you know,

I don't know what my ceiling is.
It could be top five in the world,

it could be one in the world,
it could be top 20,

could be top 30. I don't know.

If my mindset's to be the best
I can be each day,

then only good things
can come out of that.

For every player that
does make it to the top,

for every Jack Draper, for every
Emma Raducanu,

there are thousands who just drop,

and may never pick up
a tennis racket again as an adult.

Sometimes it's really hard
to tell who's going to be great,

but there's these anomalies.

'Just insane.'

Carlos Alcaraz is something
a bit special.

(APPLAUSE)

'Oh! That is why there's so much
talk about this young man.'

He is like an amalgamation
of all of the great players

into one perfect player.

I find every time I watch him,
I just find myself gasping.

(CHEERS)
'Oh my word!

Even the great Novak Djokovic
can't quite believe

what he has just witnessed.'

Nowadays in the men's game it takes
a little longer to break through,

because of the physicality
that's involved.

So, when you have an Alcaraz
doing it in their teenage years,

it's quite phenomenal.

But you've gotta remember,

Alcaraz has been playing
for probably 12 to 14 years

by the time he hits the Wimbledon
final and serves for the match.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

RUNE: First time I met Carlos was I
think when we were 10, 11 years old,

playing a match against
each other in Mallorca.

And since then I was like,
'OK, he's also good.'

We played one doubles together
in Petits As, in under-14.

It was good.

He didn't speak much English
back then I remember,

so it was not the deepest
conversations we had. (CHUCKLES)

But that was nice, nice to share
the court with him.

(APPLAUSE)

When I saw him first time,
I thought that it was different,

because he played very dynamic.

Something natural in him.

You can ask him more
than other players,

because technically
he was super genius.

'Oh, he's found that as well.'

From the very beginning,
it was a goal for me

to build someone with
a lot of talent.

Everybody was talking
about him already.

People were expecting
a lot from Carlos.

He's gonna be the next Rafa.

It was, like, full pressure for me.

I thought when I was playing,
I always talked to my coach

that, "Oh, your job is, like,
so easy.

You sit there on the Tour
and it's, like, so relaxed for you."

But now, I realise it's, like, wow,
so much difficult than I thought.

All the time that he's on the court,
you feel whatever he's feeling.

The butterflies in the stomach,
the fears, the pressure.

Mentally, the toughest thing to go
through in the tough moment.

'But now the one-way
traffic continues,

as Alcaraz's race looks to be won.'

But absolutely amazing journey
that we are having together.

Didn't expect that much, that fast.

He won two Grand Slams already,

more than I did in my career,

so imagine how I feel.

The future, I hope,
is gonna be super good.

We, you know, cross fingers that he
can keep his level on his career.

We talk about the next generation.

In Alcaraz, we have a star.

In Jannik Sinner, I do believe
with his game, he is a contender.

And hopefully we'll see
a rivalry developing between him,

Alcaraz, and Holger Rune.

PRODUCER: Is it possible to still
be friends with your rivals?

Well, you cannot share everything,
obviously,

but, you know, you're...

Me and Alcaraz, we're friends,

but we still never
went for dinner together.

And he never told me,
"I had a bad day."

Because, 'Oh, OK, he had a bad day.'

So, like, it's a different
kind of friendship.

You cannot tell
each other everything,

because at the end of the day
you're in a big match against them,

and maybe he knows you feel a bit
weak when you're feeling like this.

And obviously, at the end
everything is about winning.

MOURATOGLOU: Will they be a big
three or not? Difficult to say.

That will mean that there is nobody
else who can also push them.

I think Jack is not that far from
the three that we're talking about.

I'm sure he's gonna be top 10,
and if that happened fast,

then he's gonna start to be
dangerous for those three others,

and maybe gonna be part
of that group.

It's the 1-percent-ers that matter.

I remember a couple of years ago
when I wasn't the most professional,

I used to love it, I used to just
get home from training,

big bag of crisps,
slump on the couch.

Actually, three bags of
Quavers were my go-to.

So, it's, kind of, just focussing on

what's gonna make me
a better player, really.

But, yeah, this is
the kind of boring stuff

which goes a long way, I suppose.

During this pre-season,
I'm playing an exhibition at the UTS,

playing Holger Rune.

Haven't played him before,
so looking forward to the, sort of,

chance to challenge myself and
compete hard against a great player.

Tennis needs that fire
and that spice.

When it goes on court,
you know, it's dog-eat-dog.

'Oh, stop it!'

CASH: I don't think people
really understand

until you've been on the circuit
and living the tennis life.

It's a zoo.

KONTA: If you don't
look after yourself,

then the expectations of others,
your own expectations,

the tiredness and the fatigue
that comes with the travel,

that comes with the physical load
and mental load of this,

it can take its toll.

Iga Swiatek has
a sports psychologist full time,

and she's the world number one,
won multiple majors.

KEOTHAVONG: She's embraced
the mental side of the sport,

and working on those areas.

I think every athlete
has insecurities, self-doubt,

but she's worked on all of that.

You can see the way she goes
about her business

in such a professional way.

It's all about being
the very best that she can be.

It's really easy to forget that
Iga Swiatek is only 22 years of age,

because she's always
seemed so mature.

You know, she's already got,
what is it, four Grand Slams?

Three French Opens and one US Open.

But I certainly believe
Aryna Sabalenka

is a threat to Iga Swiatek.

(APPLAUSE)

'Oh my. That is another
blistering backhand.'

And I'd like to see
that rivalry evolve.

Two very different personalities.

Sabalenka loves to bring
the energy and the intensity

and drama onto the tennis court.

You've got someone
who's really feisty.

Come on!

'That style has worked for her
to get her to this final.'

But with Coco in the mix now,
that's brought a new dimension,

and we hope to see...
Swiatek-Coco be the rivalry,

or Swiatek-Sabalenka-Coco,
week-in, week-out.

And that's what we need
in the women's game,

is a rivalry that also brings
the public into the game.

DRAPER: Tennis has got
big boots to fill...

..but I think with the likes of
Alcaraz, Sinner, Rune,

there's a lot of young players
coming up

who have different styles of game,
great mentalities.

Hopefully myself at some point.

'We've seen some of the world's
best players compete

to reach the final of this UTS
tournament,

hoping to win the top prize

of over half a million dollars.

Now, we're down to the final two.

It's Jack Draper versus
Holger Rune.'

This match between Jack and Holger

is very important for Jack.

He knows what level Holger
is playing,

and I'm sure Jack is really
pumped to show himself

that he's able to beat
a guy of that level.

Holger's an unbelievable player,
top ten in the world.

He's been playing well,
got a big serve, he's a lefty.

He's someone at such a young age,
achieving so much already.

So, if you're not ready for it,
then you lose pretty easy.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(APPLAUSE)
'That's a great shot.'

Points on the line
and prize money on the line,

and there's big titles on the line.

It's all good and well being friends
and showing respect,

but also there is
that competitiveness

in each and every player
that comes out.

'Oh, stop it!

That is great turning.'

It's tough, obviously you're playing
in front of a lot of people.

It's big pressure out there.

CASH: If there's one thing
tennis players are good at,

it's picking themselves up.

We get kicked down all the time.

You have to pick yourself
every time you lose a point...

every time you lose a game,
every time you lose a set,

every time you lose a match,
every time you hit a bad shot.

You've gotta pick yourself up.

If you can't, tennis is not for you.

'It's a big shot from Rune.'

(CHEERS)'Such great defence
from Jack Draper!'

I think every player has a way
of tapping into their zone,

and for some players that's
getting really riled up,

and for others it's staying ice cool.

That's the, kind of, exciting
thing about tennis,

is that everyone's got their own
different personalities

and their own different weird habits.

(CHEERS)
'Oh. This man can do everything.'

When you come up to serve
for the match,

you've gotta earn it.

You can't wait for
the clock to tick down.

"Oh, if I just hang in for
a few more minutes

the buzzer will go
and I've won the tournament."

No, no, no. (LAUGHS)
You've gotta finish it off.

It's like walking a tightrope.
It's like doing a highwire.

"If I don't execute right now,
everything goes down the pan."

'He's going for it!'

(CHEERS)
'Oh my days! Who is this guy?'

CROFT: For Jack Draper to beat
a Holger Rune in a tournament,

it shows that you're doing something
right, and you're on track,

and you do belong amongst them, and
you take away a lot of information,

perhaps when you might meet them,
you know, in a Grand Slam.

So, it's massively important.

Amazing. I thought I played
a really good level this week,

and I'm really happy that I've been
able to put what I've been practicing

into playing these matches.

Of course, it's not the real thing,
being on the tour in Grand Slams,

but it's a start, so hopefully I can
keep on carrying up this level.

OK, you know, you see
a Hollywood actor or actress

and they're on the screen
and you go, "Wow! Unbelievable!

They have something special."

All these players I've been
talking about, from Carlos,

to Sinner, to Coco,
they're quite special human beings.

It feels like we're going into
this incredible era

of all these exciting new young
talents, both men's and women's.

It's like modern gladiators, with
just rackets instead of a weapon.

KEOTHAVONG: The rivalry,
the drama...

UMPIRE: 'Game, set, match.'

..the different personalities.

From these young players,
I'm getting jaw-dropping moments.

KONTA: If you're out on court
playing someone like that,

you're thinking- Can I swear?

(LAUGHS) You're thinking, "Sh-"

(CHEERS)

But there's a lot of pressure,

and I still think that Djokovic
guy's gonna be in and around,

(LAUGHS) ..a little bit as
well, going, "Hey, wait a minute.

What you can do I can do better."

'Oh my word! Just insane.'

That is, I think,
what I'm excited to see.

The Young Guns. (LAUGHS)
