Today I’m facing Andy and Jamie Murray’s tennis serves. Oh, down. Good serve. Impossible. They’ll be hitting 10 balls each. Getting faster every time. Oh, no. Not bad. Until we hit max speed. But first, we’re starting in easy mode. Nice, mate. Well done. Yes. How many do you think I can return? Do you want to give him a couple warm-ups, Andy? Soft is I mean, I don’t have much more than that these nowadays. He’s already found the weakness. Find the weakness. He’s already the weakness. There you go. Okay, Andy, we start in easy mode. Give me a Give me a 50enter, please. Okay. It was accurate, but it’s slow. Are you saying I got concrete wellies on 0 for one? Oh, for giving him a good spread so far. 0 for two. Jamie, like where do I need to stare? You’re in a good position. But he’s I mean he’s spread you like I mean he’s got I mean look at the two marks. Yeah. Look at the two marks. He’s just He’s just had me literally spread eagled on the first two. Oh no. That was your chance. I think I had it. I’ve I’ve blown it. You’ve had three. Let’s ramp it up to 60%, please. I mean, if you’re going to go that far back, then I got to give myself some time to get it. Oh my god. See, that’s the thing. By going further back, you’re opening up that angle for me. I think your best chance is to stand in closer. Okay. Thank you. Now, watch the massive kicker come flying over me head. Plan. Yeah. I think that was just out. Just long. Yeah, just just long. But yeah, saved. Go. Got it. Yes. Great shot. Great shot. Well done. There we go. One. Okay, time to crank it up now. Andy. Nice serve. Thank you. You are allowed to move in this sport though. Stop that. It’s impossible. I’m not being funny. Are you 81? I get it. That is coming nice and quick. But the thing is is that you’re you are literally just staying in the same spot. You need to split step and then react to the the right side or the left or left. Well, or the left. I meant the right as in the correct. You’ve served one a minute ago that I had to be like, “Oh, that was a good serve though. That’s a naughty serve.” That That was No one’s getting that. That was a particularly good one. That’s pretty cheeky. I mean, no one’s getting that. No, no, that Yeah, it wouldn’t matter where you moved there. That was unturnable. Sorry. Good serve. But good movement though. Like you covered. Yeah, that was good movement. You might have a better chance at returning some shame. [Music] What grip are you starting with here? I don’t even You have a two-handed backhand. I don’t really play. Okay. So that if it goes to your backhand, it’s just one grip change here. Yes. Exactly like that. So just one grip change. He’s coming forehand. Then you then you would just take the top hand off and it’s already at your forehand grip. So it’s it’s a little bit easier. Okay. I give you a spin serve. Okay. Just to make us different lefty to righty. Okay. Just be ready. Nice. There we go. Okay. Okay. So, yeah, here I think it it’s smart to stand further back because his you’re not opening up the angle. His serve will be moving more in towards you. Exactly. We go. Yeah, let’s go for it. Yeah, we’re going to go 50% ball number one with Jamie Murray. Let’s see how many I can get. Oh, no. Not bad. Moved well, though. It’s good. I mean, that probably should be a backhand return. Should it? Yeah, because the ball is coming in towards you as it hits the ground and you’re moving this way and the ball’s following you. Whereas, if you just stayed still, that would be a backhand. The ball would move. What if you don’t have a backhand, Andy? He doesn’t have one. Okay. Yeah. Maybe stick to the forehand. Okay. There we go. Well done. Very good. Yes. But what happens in tennis is like you return and then the point goes on, you know, you don’t like celebrate for making it. So for the return, you want to try and keep a short nudge just to nudge it back. Yeah. And use the speed of his ball. If you try and swing too hard, you’ll start spraying. Okay. Oh, good serve. I’ve done it again. Crank it up, Jamie. Yeah. Crank it up. Nice, mate. Well done. That was that was pretty good cuz that was a decent that was a decent serve. That was moving. Hey, that was good. Come on. Great shot. [Music] Get in. Oh, is that a good try though? Close. I mean, we’d like to see a little bit more speed, I think. Yeah, I got speed. That was second serve. Oh, there we go. There we go. Down. Oh, he does better with the with the flat one. Here we go. Spin serve. Okay, spin serve. Thanks. Nice. Very good. Come on. Got it. Now you’re almost at 50% made here, which is a good number. Let’s see three more. Okay. Fast ones. Okay. Okay. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, so close. It was a short swing. I prefer them ones and them spinny ones. Oh, yeah. That was a good one. Good serve. Good serve. Good serve. That be nice to see a backhand return, wouldn’t it? One in. Ready. Back. You want me this way? Better four. [Music] So, that was 20 serves received. I managed four. Postman didn’t deliver, but what an experience that was. If you liked it, you know what to do.
