All right, let's try to squeeze in here, oh my gosh. Okay. Oh. He's in, ish. You ready? That's tight. All right. Oh, Jesus. Don't damage that buttocks, mate. You got a big fortnight ahead. I mean, I'll try. This is really tight. Okay. So, where are my feet going? Right here? Oh, yeah, that's right. Okay, let me see, just let me get into the movement right now. You're good, you're feeling comfortable? No. But, I mean, I've tried this some years ago with Dylan Alcott, 2017. Thank you. And I must say that I have the utmost admiration for these guys. They're heroes, they deserve every credit, every applause in the world. Incredible, incredible what they're doing. Now, while you're in the chair, Novak, you want some help? I need help, yes, please. There's a mini you in the house. Mini me? There's a mini me. Okay. There's a young Novak, a young Aussie bloke who's doing great things. Novak, come on out. Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for an Aussie grass court champion. Great to see you, Novak. Have you met Novak before? A million times. So, two on two here, obviously doubles. We're down to a tiebreaker. Team Djokovic, team Sitsa Pass is now team Zachary. At least as it looks at the moment. So, take it away, Novak, show us yours. And that's big Novak I'm talking to there. Small Novak, you gotta do the work. You gotta do the running now, okay? Okay. I'm gonna try to stay in my chair. Do you wanna serve first? No way. You serve. I'll just try to position myself well first. I'll let you serve. Oh, I have two bouncers, right? Please serve. Two bouncers. Thank you very much. All right, let's do this. Can I have three? Make it four. Thank you. I probably should have warmed up. Can you please ace him? Not Novak Junior, Novak Senior. They're not coming in very fast, mate, I can't serve. Not to me, man. Oh, Jesus. Oh, no, no, not there. Don't point it back at me. One, zero, team Zachary. Okay. Okay, who's serving? Are we serving? Yes. You serve. Okay. I have literally no idea what I'm doing right now, but my respect is growing even more. Do you have two balls? No, I only have one. Can I have one? Thank you. Coming. Okay, so in the wheelchair doubles. Am I supposed to, right now he's serving, am I supposed to be at the net? A lot of the times we come in and out, unlike you guys who stay one solid at the net, just because if you go to us twice when we're at the net, we just can't move. So we like go back and forth. All right, yeah, exactly. My doubles partner is sitting over there, actually, in the crowd. So he'll give you some tips. Where is he? Hey, can you give me some tips, please? Stay back. Okay, I'll stay back. Far back. All right. No, Maria, please. Great serve. Your serve time. A lot of slights. Just keep going cross-court, Maria, please. This is so much tougher than I imagined. Oh, one second, one second. Sorry, sorry. Can I fall down like backwards? No, no, there's a wheel at the back. You'll be fine. But if you go there, I might hit the ball as hard as I can at you, just so you know. Excuse me. Smash! Don't listen to this guy, okay? Don't listen to him anymore. He's not giving you good advice. That's strike number one, huh? Have a little hug with him. Yes. It's not your fault, it was my fault, because I said smack him, so. Next time he likes to smash. I'm sorry, Maria. I remembered all those. That's called karma. I didn't want to say it, but you know. It's okay, I said it for you. Yes, it's called karma. All right, sorry. No, Maria. Okay, I'm ready to receive return. You sure? If you throw out a kick serve, he's not getting it back, so. You know, I served him twice in a double-folded. Why not? Actually, I served him three times in a double-folded, twice, so I'm not promising anything. Help me out. No, no, no. I know you're strong enough to do it by yourself. Okay. You can go. No balls? Ah, okay. I'll just take it. Boom! Yeah! Amazing. Wow. What a loss. Switch. Oh no. Boom! You! No, not me! Too early. You're doing great. Come on, you can handle it. Okay, let's try it. Let's try it. No, no, I don't want to do this. No, no, no. Push the chair. No, no, I know you're strong enough to do it. Come on. I'm not strong enough, I'm not capable. I'm strong. Stop crying! Okay. We do it? Stefanos, please. We do it? Let's go. All right, come on. Let's go. Aha! Yeah! You're so close. Now what? Wait, wait, wait, wait, stop, stop, stop, stop. Now you're gonna be the fastest that you've ever been. Please don't kill us. Guys, just be aware that, you know, I might, I can fall down. You! I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it. No! Jesus Christ. With strings, yeah. Not with, right, that way. Three, two, three. I'll serve, I'll serve, I'll serve, I'll serve. That was a good one. Thank you. I can, I can grab the ball. Come on. You guys, you serve. Yeah, I know, right? Oh man. Shoot it up. I'm the amount of serves, please. Shoot it up. Up, up. Hey! Oh, that's good. Get it, get it, get it. No, no, it's not out. Okay, I think I'm done, guys. Four, two. Oh my God. Okay, who was it, sir? Well done, that guy. Good job. Thank you. Good job. Wow.
