ATP Tennis Stars Recreate The Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters Trophy Using Clay!

Okay, this looks great. Have you ever tried pottery? No, I have not. Maybe when I was a kid. I love your style. Thank you. It's really good. We have to talk in English. But he is French. He's good. I can tell. I know you've played on clay, but today we're going to play with clay. Yeah. The idea is to recreate Monte Carlo's trophy. Okay. So we'll learn how to make a ball. Pottery is bad. It is. Clearly. So first, I'm going to open up the clay. Wow. I press my thumb towards the outside. Your hands like this, like a butterfly. The left one goes in the center. And the right one on the base. Touch the metal. Don't worry, it doesn't hurt. Okay. Like this, I will squeeze gently the clay. Take your time. Wow. Bravo. You see? It's more about being the turtle than the rabbit. Okay. I know you're fast on clay, but with this clay you have to be slow. You know, everything that's done well, it always looks easy. So be calm and steady. It's like when we play tennis. It looks easy, right? But then it's more difficult once you're on the court. It starts in the center. Okay. Your right hand like this. And then you'll press here. You apply the pressure. I see. You wait a little bit. We're getting somewhere. This is really good. This is a very small trophy. I mean, this is probably a consolation trophy. Yes. Oh, no. Gently, gently, gently. Oh, no. Yeah. It doesn't matter. We'll try again. Let's have fun. Okay, cool. You're really good. Slowly. Oh, dear. I need more power, my friend. Yes. It's not a perfect ball anymore. You have to press first, yes. Apply a pressure of four. Okay. Because you don't want to go through the wall. Wow. You've done this before? No. I'm really impressed. Wow, man. So tight. I'm sweating. I've got a talent. See? Surely you do. And gently remove your hands. That's it. That's really good. It requires feeling and touch. Let's see. Look at this. Wow. Look at it. One side is... Just don't touch it anymore. I've ruined it. I fooled you all, didn't I? Yes. It looked so good until you made me do more. And gently remove your fingers. That's it. That's amazing. Nice kitchen ball. Don't touch it. That's good? Yeah, that's amazing. Amazing, but he has to touch it a little bit. There you go. Again. All the way to the top. Slowly. Should I do that? Yeah, that's good. Keep going. I mean, this is really good. If I were to play here, this is the trophy I would win. Man, I'm really impressed. This is really good. Thank you. You don't want anything symmetrical in life. You just want character. It's like my tennis. Forehand, backhand. It's really good. For a first time, it's amazing. I appreciate it. It's like a vase, almost. I don't know. It's something you would use for a soup. The trophy is a little smaller this year. Like this, I can eat my salad. Perfect. Slowly. Don't press too hard. It was good at the beginning, right? I wouldn't complain. I mean, I get what I deserve, I guess. Fairly good for a first time. Sorry that this part... Thank you very much. Thank you. You're welcome. It's the first time I've definitely done this. Thank you. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. I'm proud.
