02x02 - The Future is Yours

[bunniefuu]

[crowd cheering]

[commentator 1] He is not just the heir
to greatness, he is greatness.

Well, Novak's back on top of the world.

[commentator 2] He's the guy to beat.

[commentator 1] He'll take some stopping.

If you ask me, "Who do you want
to play against?" I'd say Novak.

I'm so obsessed to get the success
that I want. It's about winning.

Nothing else.

[Kyrgios] Holger's game style
is super expl*sive.

He's got weapons everywhere.
He's got a bit of everything.

Your sword.

He's gonna be super important
for this sport moving forward.

[Rune] I started last year 103
in the world.

[commentator] Just magical
from Holger Rune!

[Rune] Now I'm inside the top ten.

[commentator] Oh! You are kidding me!

[Rune] I've been
going up the rankings quick.

[commentator] A remarkable performance
from a young man

who is going somewhere very fast indeed.

[Kyrgios] Love seeing all these players
breaking through.

And obviously, seeing guys like Rune
and Alcaraz kind of take over it.

It's been fun.

[Rune] Carlos! Hey!

Hey, how are you?

Wish I could turn the clock back,
be one of these guys.

[Alcaraz, in Spanish] To be able
to win my first Grand Slam final,

it was a dream come true.

A very special moment. [chuckles]

[commentator 1 in English] Carlos Alcaraz,
he's the U.S. Open champion of 2022.

[commentator 2] I mean, a star is born.

[commentator 3]
This kid is something else, something new.

[Kyrgios] They're going to win
some Slams for sure.

But I think Alcaraz will win a bunch.
Rune will win a bunch.

They're the next crop of guys
to start that kind of era.

[Rune] We played a lot
when we were juniors.

Already back then you could feel

that we were different.

It was really high level.

The will to win and how we could find ways
to win all the time was spectacular.

[Courier] Novak has been a dream k*ller
for many, many years.

There's many prospective champions

who dreamed of Grand Slam glory
and been denied by him.

[fan] My dad loves you so much.

-Thanks, Julie.
-[fan] The best!

I love you, guys.

You get players like Alcaraz and Rune,
they don't have that scar tissue.

They're coming in optimistic,
vigorous, excited.

[grunts]

[Courier] But there is no mercy out there.

These young players, make no mistake.

They're gunning for your job.

[woman] Match outfit.

Yes.

-Take your pick, and pack.
-Okay.

This is gonna be a tough choice.

-Yeah?
-[woman] Yeah.

-Sure?
-[woman] Yeah.

-Brown, yellow. [chuckles]
-[Rune] I'll take it anyways.

I'm Holger Rune. 19 years old.
I'm a professional tennis player.

What adds to the red, do you think?

[woman] I think yellow
and brown for the desert.

[Rune] I think it's good for tennis

that we get some new generations
up the rankings

that can do some damage
also in the big tournaments.

From a very young age,
I told my mom, I told my family

that this is what I want to do
and they have been super supportive.



Great.

[woman] Great.

[woman] When he was younger,
he went full in whatever he did.

He didn't care about
what other people thought.

To be so strong-minded so young,
I think it helped him a lot.

I think the young players, they have more
fire and more belief in themselves...

-Yeah.
-...no matter how they play.

-It's a totally different atmosphere.
-It's so intense.

Yeah, intensity.

Novak actually said, "Great champions
are the ones that are fastest to adapt."

-So he is a wise man. Good old Novak.
-Yes.

Yeah. Now the young generation comes.

[Kyrgios] Holger, he's a hell of a player.
He's in the top ten.

But with that comes
a lot of pressure as well,

because every time you take the court
people expect results.

[commentator] It's Indian Wells this week.

We're really looking forward to this one.

[Rune] I feel like I have what it takes
to be the next big thing.

So it's very important
to have a good team.

Patrick do you like my slippers?

I love them, especially with socks.

[laughs]

[Patrick] I'm Patrick Mouratoglou.
I'm a professional tennis coach.

Worked with Serena Williams for ten years.

[Williams] You really believed
in me, Patrick.

I'm so grateful to have you
in my life and on my team.

[Patrick] Holger and Aneke, his mom,

they asked me
if I could join the team a few months ago.

They believed
I could help him make the jump.

Prepare a little earlier,
so you have time to move and adjust.

All right.

[Patrick] Perfect.

[Aneke] Last year, we had Lars
and Patrick on the team,

which worked super well.

Patrick brings a lot of good things,

in terms of his knowledge
with the coaching.

And what Lars is super good at
with his technical and tactical stuff.

[grunts]

[Aneke] This was a perfect combination.

[Patrick chuckles] Yeah, like that.
Perfect.

When I started with him, he said,

"Have three tournaments. Wanna win three."

I said, "Let's go."

Winner. Final.

Winner.

Suddenly, the expectations on him
get multiplied by ten.

And the way Holger reacts to it is to say,

"I wanna be number one in the world,
I want to win a Grand Slam."

Ready to fight.

[Patrick] This is pressure, pressure.

There are very few players
able to do that.

[crowd applauding]

[Alcaraz in Spanish] I am Carlos Alcaraz.

I am 19 years old.

-[in English] How are you?
-Good.

[in Spanish] I'm from Spain.

-[in English] How are you?
-Good to see you. I'm good.

[Tiafoe] All right. You serve or I serve?

[Alcaraz] Whatever you want. You choose.

[Tiafoe] Up or down?

[Alcaraz] Up.

Up.

[Alcaraz] Uh, I receive.

[in Spanish] Play aggressive,
that is my style...

play with joy.

I don't have people telling me,

"You have to achieve that,
or you have to win all the matches,"

I try not to think about that,

but about me, my team and my family.

[crowd applauding]

[in English] That's incredible.

[in Spanish] Therefore,
I don't feel that pressure.

[Tiafoe in English] Dude, I have one
practice with you and I'm winning matches.

I don't think it's because of that.

[Amritraj] Everyone's so excited
at Indian Wells

because it's the beginning of the year

and Novak's not here because
of the travel ban in the U.S.

Even though it's only one player,

everyone's feeling better
about their chances.

[commentator 1] I think it's gonna be
a fascinating match

between a 37-year-old and a 19-year-old.

They did meet during Rune's run
to the title in Paris last year.

Wawrinka wasn't too pleased
with Rune's behavior at some points.

[commentator 2] Heartbreak
for Stan Wawrinka.

My advice to you is that
you stop acting like a baby on court.

Forty seconds!

[Rune] He just felt like
he needed to give me

a comment after the match, as maybe,

you know, old people like to give
young people advice.

That's how life is,
sometimes old people also gotta accept

young players are people
coming up and challenge them.

[umpire] Out!

[commentator] Rune has got to get himself
going because he's a break down.

-He's four one down.
-[umpire] Thirty, fifteen.

[Rune] I want to win so bad
that I almost want to win too much,

but I play better when I'm half crazy.

You've to go to the extreme
to give yourself the chance to win.

[fan] Come on, Rune!

[umpire] Please keep your voices down.
Thank you.

Play is ready to start. Thank you.

[commentator] A little bit loud
on the last two points.

[in Danish] Stay here.
Keep playing the ball in the court.

Yeah.

Close it off.

[in English] He says down in Stan's box,

they are making, like, talking noise
all the time when Holger's in that end.

So he said when Stan comes here,
please give back because...

-We're not gonna do that.
-Yeah.

-Not gonna do that.
-Should focus on the match.

-[crowd gasps]
-[commentator] What was that?

[umpire] Deuce.

He's doing exactly
what we didn't want him to do

[commentator] That was truly bizarre.

[Aneke] Come back.

I cannot hit from the base line.

Impossible

[Patrick] Don't tell yourself you can't.
You can.

Yeah.

[Patrick] He has an incredible ambition

and he has a fire inside
that is extremely strong.

[Rune groans]

[Patrick] But sometimes
that can become too much. It can hurt him.

He kind of lost it here.

[sighs]

He puts himself in danger
when this happens.

[commentator] A set to forget for Rune.

[umpire] Six games to two.

[commentator] Stan Wawrinka takes it.

For his own benefit,
let's hope it's the real Holger Rune

who comes out for this second set
because he's been unrecognizable.

[Rune] How I handled that crucial moment
was really, really bad

and one of the worst I've ever done,
so it's really disappointing.

And it's bad on me, it's bad on my team,
it's bad on everybody around.

I'm not doing anything right.

[commentator] Match point.

-[umpire] Out!
-[crowd cheering]

[commentator] At 37,
Stan Wawrinka keeps fighting,

keeps going strong.

-Got nothing to say now?
-What?

Got nothing to say now?

-Thank you.
-I've got nothing to say.

[Rune] Of course I want to win.

But it's always a fight.

The passion I have,
I have to use it right.

[Courier] I started off in my career
as a pretty emotional player

and I lost enough matches due to that.

Tennis is hard enough with the opponent
doing things on the other side of the net.

If you got to fight yourself as well,
that's a real battle.

[Patrick] He doesn't deserve
one second on anything.

Attitude, zero. Game, zero.

Intentions of play, zero.

He wasn't there. Zero.

[Rune] I keep reminding myself
of why I do this.

It's because I'm seeking perfection.

This it what matters. I want it too much.

My goal is that he keeps
control of his emotion

so that the emotions are helping him
and not playing against him.

[man] f*ck. How do you turn it off?

[Patrick] No, this one. This one.

[newscaster] Breaking news story
in the tennis world,

that Holger Rune and Patrick Mouratoglou

seem to have split up.

[Rune] It's been difficult, you know,
with the coaching situation.

[sighs]

The people I hire, they have to help me.

Sometimes I'm thinking,
"Why are you here actually?"

I don't hire people just to sit there.

So it's also a question of,
"Are you doing your job good enough?"

And, of course, it's my fault at the end,

but I didn't feel Patrick's
the right thing for me at the moment.

[doorbell rings]

Fort Knox.

Holger's the boss.

Whatever Holger wants,
this is what he gets

and he knows the best himself
what he needs

in terms of his development.

I have a thing with beds.

You need to make them.

[Aneke] He knows deep down
who can help him do this.

Okay, let's go. Keys.

So, my only job is to try to make him
stick to what he feels inside him.

And so we work from there.

[in Danish] It's good, it's good.

Just relax your shoulders.

Don't be so hard on yourself, it's good.

[Aneke, in English] He's much more tense
today than the other days.

It's been a bad start
compared to last year.

It can be little, small things
that makes a difference,

but we need to have him in a state of mind
where he is happy and working.

Hey, it hit the net!

[Kyrgios] To see Holger changing his team
like that, it's not a good thing.

There's so much change every week,

different courts, ba*ls, country,

the one thing
that needs stability is your team.

I hope Holger kind of finds
that right team because that's probably

what's holding him back at the moment.

And what is the difference on dai e vai?

[driver in Italian] Come on, Lazio!

-[in English] Yeah, Lazio, that is, Rome?
-Yeah, football, no?

Yeah.

-[both, in Italian] Come on, Lazio!
-[chuckles]

[in English] Good.

-[Rune in Italian] Come on, Roma! No?
-No.

[Aneke] No, no, no. Come on, Lazio!

-Come on, Lazio!
-[Aneke] Yeah.

[driver] At this point...

-Yes.
-[driver] Only...

[Rune and Aneke chuckle]

-Thanks a lot.
-[Aneke] Come on!

[commentator, in English] A very
warm welcome to the Italian capital.

Today should be a fun day
of master's clay courts tennis.

[both] Buongiorno.

[commentator] The defending champion,
the six-time champion

has returned
in one of his favorite events to play in.

He's the player to beat on this surface.

NOLE LIMITLESS

What is Novak trying to do this season?
[chuckles]

I think he's trying to put things
back in the proper order

as far as he sees them.

[Aneke] Novak looks ready.

Want to see what they get.

To be the best you've to play the best.

What is Novak good at?

Novak is not playing a point.

Rafa not either. Novak is the point.

You see there are guys playing the points

and then there are guys
that are the point.

Like Rafa, like Novak. In flow.

It's your point, it is you
that are in control. You are the point.

Yes.

[Aneke] And this is what makes
the difference in my opinion

on these guys and all the others.

[Kyrgios] Holger had a lot of success
and now he's finding that period where,

sh*t, it can be pretty exhausting to have
that level of excellence all the time.

I think he's at the crossroads now
where he needs to decide,

"do I want to be destined for greatness,

or do I want to kind of float around
and be like top ten or top 20?"

[man] Let's go. Yeah.

[Rune] We had this practice week
last week.

So it's been very frustrating for me
because I was off, mentally.

[breathing deeply]

More closer you get to the tournament,
that's more stress you get.

And I think it's important
that you have somebody

that can build you up
with confidence and control,

your emotions and stuff like this.

And that's what I need
during my tournaments.

I called Patrick.

I wasn't sure
it was the right thing to say goodbye.

I still felt he had something left
to teach me on the court and in life.

[Patrick] He wrote to me...

he said that in the last two days he was...

-kind of lacking motivation.
-[James] Yes.

[Patrick] I think it's normal
that he feels a lot of pressure.

Because now he knows
he's supposed to do well.

[James] Yeah.

He doesn't do really well,
then it's a failure.

I told him, "If you're happy
that I'm coming in the morning

"and we work together
and you're excited and you think

"I'm the best guy
for you to progress, I'll be here."

So, we'll see.

[man yells]

So, you know what I was thinking?
That you hit the ball unbelievable.

Yeah. Very clean, but very loose.

-Relax. Everything is really good.
-Yeah.

Believe me.

[Patrick] As a coach, I learned
a lot of times that the moments of downs

are most important because
this is where you can make changes

that are going to make so much difference.

It's in. [chuckles]

It's perfect...

This is what we're looking for.

He feels confident you can see.

[Patrick] This is real talent. [chuckles]

[commentator 1] This to earn the right

to take on Novak Djokovic
in the quarter-finals.

-[crowd cheering]
-[commentator 1] That's a break point.

[commentator 2] Wow.

[commentator 1] He is pumped up!

[Patrick] I created an environment
in which he felt he could be himself.

Because when you are
a player in the making...

you are looking for your identity
as a tennis player.

And the only way to find it
is to look for it.

[commentator 2] Match point!

-[man] Come on! Come on!
-[crowd cheering]

[commentator 1]
It is the number seven seed.

Rune into the quarter-finals where
he'll face Novak Djokovic, the top seed.

Just look what it means.

[laughing]

-[Patrick] I see you're smiling.
-[both laugh]

[commentator] Well, there's a buzz
around this arena.

When there's a big upset brewing.

Alcaraz is in trouble.

[umpire] Six, four.

[commentator] Fasten your seatbelts.

Two match points for the Hungarian,
Fábián Marozsán.

-[crowd cheering]
-[commentator] He's done it.

The world's number 135

beats the world number two.

Becomes only the third player this season

to get the better of Carlos Alcaraz.

[Rune] It's always a big moment when
the top-seeded loses in the early rounds.

It doesn't happen often.

People are always excited to see that.

But me personally, I don't care.

[in Italian] Bye.

[in English] I have to think
about Novak next round.

[Rune] Good morning, guys.

[Patrick] Good morning!

[commentator] The quarter-final stage
here in Rome has Novak Djokovic.

Next, he'll take on
the young Dane Holger Rune.

-[man] Good. Really well.
-[laughs]

[commentator] Novak Djokovic won this
title for the first time back in 2008.

He's gone on to win six of them
here in Rome and quite amazing,

in the last 18 editions
of this tournament,

16 of them have been won by either
Novak Djokovic or Rafael Nadal.

They have dominated this event
over the years.

[Aneke] What I love to see when Holger
plays Novak is his preparation.

He loves these matches,
but they are super demanding for Holger.

He goes into this box.
He closes off completely.

He knows if he's doing anything wrong
against Novak, he's dead.

Gonna be k*lled.

[Rune] Personally, I'm so happy he's back.

It's these players you wanted to play
in the biggest matches.

He's an incredible player, first of all,
but incredible mentality

and I have so much to learn from that.

Just the whole aura around him.

It's super, also intimidating, you know.

I got to be focused now.
It's really game on.

I'm going in with the belief
that I can win.

Let's see what happens.

[commentator] Novak Djokovic
up against Holger Rune.

[whispering] The start would be important,
because he is super nervous.

Novak, he is.

-Come on!
-[crowd cheering]

[commentator] What a start
from the youngster. Goodness me.

[whispering] He's playing perfect.

[commentator] See whether the youngster
can serve this out.

[umpire] Out!

[commentator] Plain sailing
for Holger Rune.

He's dominated the top seed so far.

[Rune] I won first set. I looked at him.

He just walked to his chair.

And I was like,
"Does this guy ever get angry?"

With other players, you can feel that
you get under the skin easily.

Not with Novak. He's a different type.

He's going to react now.
He will change his game plan.

[Patrick] He will have to.

[James] Yeah.

[Rune] He knows exactly how to play
the game and play the mental game.

He knows when his opponent will break.

[thunder rumbling]

[rain pattering]

[Djokovic grunts]

[commentator] The second set
getting away from him quickly.

That's, uh, a fair distance long.

He's pointed to the mark immediately.

But it's good.

Once the chair umpire's
made up their minds,

they're not gonna change it.

He's furious, but he's gotta suck it up.

Djokovic seems locked in now.

-A real mental test now for Rune.
-[shouts in Danish]

-I'm gonna freak! Listen to me!
-[Patrick] Holger!

[Rune] Do you get punished
when you do a mistake?

When we do a mistake,
we get a fine. You don't.

Holger, you have bigger goals.

Stay, stay.

And then again, it's the umpire
that makes me look like a bad guy.

It's always the umpire that makes me look
like a bad guy. Always.

[commentator 1] Tough conditions
right now out here.

[commentator 2] Yeah, the rain
just getting a little bit heavier

in the last couple of minutes.

Sadly, we will watch the players return
to the locker room

and hope that this rain
blows over fairly quickly.

[Patrick] When you keep control,
you control the match.

-And it's a challenge every match.
-[Rune] Yes.

[Patrick] But you can do it
and you've done it many times now, so...

-Ready for that? Yeah?
-[Rune] Mm-hmm. Yes.

[commentator 2] So we are all set
after a wait of just over an hour.

[Aneke] His mindset good?

His mindset is clear.

[commentator 2] Players re-emerge.

This is the deciding set.

[Rune] I lost a little bit of my level
in the second set,

but I'm beginning to understand it.

It doesn't matter who I'm up against,

I need to go in the tunnel vision

and just keep my focus
totally on the court, the game,

then focus on what I want to achieve.

[commentator 2] It's a good
early statement to make.

Come on! Let's go!

[commentator 2] He's used his time
off the court wisely.

Used it to calm himself.

-Let's go, now! Let's go!
-Let's go, man!

[exhales heavily]

This is a crazy f*cking sport, huh?

[commentator 1] Match point.

Holger Rune looking to finish the job
against the top seed Djokovic.

-Victory for Holger Rune.
-[crowd cheering]

Go! Let's go!

[commentator 1] He takes out
the world number one,

the top seed and the six-time champion,
Novak Djokovic.

[commentator 2] One of the greatest
of all time, Djokovic.

Things are looking up for this kid.

[commentator 3] Initially when he broke
onto the tour, Rune,

I think he was a little misunderstood
because he was someone

who had so much love,
an obsession almost, for this sport

that the emotions
would sometimes get the better of him.

And he's dealing
with his emotions a lot better.

Very, very good here. Very good.

-[chuckling]
-I feel the same.

[both laugh]

You didn't do everything perfect,
but you're right.

-You had the perfect mindset.
-Yeah.

-Yeah.
-And you had moments where you could've...

-And you stayed. Yeah.
-But I controlled it.

Checking the highlights. [chuckles]

[Rune] Every time I play Novak,

I'm really eager to beat him
because he's Novak, of course,

but he knows how to win every Grand Slam
consistently, and that we don't know yet.

[commentator] Welcome to the All England
Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club

known as Wimbledon.

The most famous tennis club in the world,
and it's a full house.

[Rune] I want to do it here at Wimbledon.

To get my first Grand Slam title.

I think it's going to be very exciting.

I think it's great for tennis
to get not just young guys,

but really young guys
playing for the biggest trophy.

[commentator] Right now everything going
the Dane's way, for Rune,

and he's a game away from his
first-ever Wimbledon quarter-final.

So many believe he will be a multiple
Grand Slam champion

and he will have a rivalry
with Carlos Alcaraz

-at the very top of the game.
-[in Danish] Come on, Holger!

[commentator in English] Incidentally,
that could be his next round opponent.

Alcaraz battling
against Berrettini on Center.

Winner of this match
versus the winner of that one.

This year should be
absolutely fascinating.

Will it be the exuberance
of this new generation

or the experience of the elder statesman?

Bet Djokovic knows what it's like to win
at these championships.

[Kyrgios] We all know how good Novak is.
It's like three of the four Grand Slams,

you would arguably say
that he's the favorite for,

without even caring about
who else is in the draw,

so good luck to everyone
trying to beat him.

[announcer] Other day, you said
the youngsters are coming for you.

-Is there pressure?
-[Djokovic] I love it.

They want to get a scalp,
they want to win,

-but it ain't happening. Still.
-[announcer laughs]

[Djokovic] Yeah, it's great to be part
of this new generation. I love it.

Let's have the quarters everybody wants...

me versus...

Alcaraz.

[commentator] The world number one
moves on.

Carlos Alcaraz and he is through,
for the first time,

to a quarter-final at Wimbledon

against another of the youngsters
in the game in Holger Rune.

[Alcaraz] The young guys
written their dreams

coming here,
playing a quarter-final together.

I think it's something great for tennis.

And, of course, with Holger,
we grew up together.

Playing a quarter-final for Grand Slam
against him is something great, you know?

And it is something
that I'm gonna enjoy, that's for sure.

Once you get into a quarter,
it's no friends.

Everyone, the whole tennis world
is going to want to tune in.

Everyone f*cking stops, because
that's what everyone's been talking about.

-Right where you need to be.
-Yeah.

Perfect, perfect shape.

[both speaking indistinctly]

-[Aneke] Hello, hello.
-[woman] Hi!

[Aneke] You didn't look so Nike-like
from the outside.

[woman] It's time. It's... yeah.

[Rune] It's amazing here.

You play mini golf here?

-[man] Yes.
-Croquet?

You do the croquet, not the mini golf.

[Rune] Yeah, I can play this.

[Aneke] In terms of his development,

Holger is going from more teenager
to become a man.

And there is a lot of stuff to deal with.

-The ball is stuck.
-[both laugh]

I don't want to play anymore.
I play too much.

But he's learning and this is why

I'm also quite sure
he will achieve what he wants.

Actually it doesn't look bad, no? Not bad.

It's really good. It's not bad.

Okay, yeah!

You look so good!

-Yeah, right?
-[woman] Yeah.

Yeah. Positively surprised.

[woman] Would you wear a bucket hat?

Now the exciting thing.
It's a small. So good. Super cool.

-It's very London.
-Yeah.

-Yeah.
-Looks good.

[hip-hop music playing over speakers]

[Rune] To be able to be at the top,

you have to have another dimension
in your game.

I'm starting to bring that state of mind
into more and more matches

and this is also
bringing more consistent results.

This is exactly where I want to be.

-How are you?
-[Alcaraz] Hello, how are you?

-Good. Like to sign the autograph wall?
-Yeah.

-[in Spanish] How are you?
-Good, how are you?

I'm very well, very well!

Where are you going with that hat?

I've changed my style.

I'm trying out a new look today. [laughs]

[Alcaraz] Holger
is a very difficult player,

he's also coming up really quickly

and I know that we will have battles

like Djokovic, Federer and Nadal did

when they were younger
for all those years.

All the hard work, all the sacrifices made

have been worth it
just to reach this point.

[announcer in English]
Can I have your attention?

Will the players please report
to the tennis court area?

[James] Come on.
You're the boss. You go first.

Come on. Your f*ck' court.
Center Court first time.

You're the boss.
Show everyone what you're doing.

[commentator 1] What a moment for Rune.

Just about ready to go.
His first visit to Center Court.

This court has an atmosphere
like no other in tennis.

[Rune] If you could say that ten years ago

that we would be in the quarter-final
of Wimbledon,

we probably both believed that we would.

And yeah, here we are.

[commentator 1] The future is here.

These two born six days apart,
and now 20 years later,

they go head-to-head.

This is a rivalry that is going to be
played out many times around the world.

[Rune] To play here at Wimbledon,
Center Court, it's a dream come true,

but my dream is not only to play
Wimbledon. It's to win.

[umpire] Play.

[both grunting]

-Whoo!
-[crowd cheering]

[commentator 1] Such expl*sive power!

[commentator 2] That's beautifully played.

[in Danish]
Come on, Holger!

[commentator 3 in English]
But Alcaraz keeping his nose in front

in this opening set.

Expected it to be close.

So little between these two.

Holger Rune,
he's got every chance in this match.

[umpire] Time!

[in Danish]
Go, Holger!

[commentator 3 in English]
That was fantastic tennis from Holger Rune

They know it inside Center Court.

So they will only be separated
by a tiebreak here.

[commentator 1] Let's see what happens
in this sh**t out.

[commentator 3] It's about
who can win the big points.

The ones that really matter.

Holger Rune being sent scampering around
Center Court and Alcaraz enjoyed that one.

Get the energy. Come on, get the energy.

[commentator 3] Challenging times
for Rune right now.

[exclaims]

[commentator 3] Soon as he hit it,
he knew he had the first set.

[in Spanish] Let's go!

Let's go.

[commentator 3 in English] A huge
outpouring of emotion from Alcaraz.

A release.

[commentator 2] Rune, however,
will feel a little disappointed.

[Aneke] So annoying with this tiebreak.

But he had his chance.

He had his chance

[James] Yeah.

[Aneke, in Danish]
Find the energy. Find the energy.

[Rune in English] I was excited.
I was feeling good physically.

I was ready to do everything I could do
in my power to win,

but he was dealing with the nerves
better than I was.

He just played better
in the important moments.

[commentator 3] And so Alcaraz
has the edge in big match experience.

-[crowd cheering]
-[umpire] Game, Alcaraz.

[commentator 3] Carlos Alcaraz taking
a grip on this match.

He's just found his groove.

Match point.

[grunts]

-[crowd cheering]
-[umpire] Game, set and match, Alcaraz.

Three sets to love. 7-6, 6-4, 6-4.

[commentator 3] The world number one

heading to the semi-finals
for the first time here at Wimbledon,

and the crowd know they are witnessing
two young brilliant talents.

But one is just slightly
further down the road.

[in Spanish] Let's go!

[commentator 2 in English]
They are so young.

They've got a good decade,
if not more, at the top of the game.

There's plenty more to come from Rune.

They'll learn a lot from this match.

[commentator 3] So, there we are.
Carlos Alcaraz through to the last four.

Someone perhaps who could
challenge Djokovic for the title.

[Rune] The strange thing
was I did all the right things.

I ate well, I slept well,
I was preparing well.

I just didn't prevail when it mattered.

He was more calm,
so he 100% deserved to win

because he handled the mental side
much, much better than I did.

Yeah. I got to learn from that.

It's the beginning of my career still.

[tennis match playing over speakers]

It's a learning process and I think that
every top player has to go through this.

[commentator 1] And the final match

in the men's singles championship
at Wimbledon this year

will go to a deciding fifth set.
New territory for both players,

and we can't wait.

[umpire] Final set.

Djokovic to serve.

[commentator 1] You do know that you're
about to participate in an historic event

and not just a tennis match.

[Alcaraz in Spanish] I had to play
my game and concentrate point by point

and forget the rest.

It wasn't the time to be tired...

but to give the best of myself

and keep going.

[commentator 1 in English] Oh!
Are you kidding?

[commentator 2] Such a good point.

Alcaraz is actually lifting.
He's got the adrenaline going.

The nerves are gone.

Another break point for Alcaraz.

Who's going to take their chance first?

Oh!

And that's it.

It's a break.

[chuckling] That is superb.

Oh! The racket has been melted
against the net post.

-That's what the boos are all about.
-[crowd booing]

[umpire] Alcaraz leads two games to one.

[commentator 1]
Under the most severe pressure.

[Rune] Carlos was dealing with the nerves
better than Novak was.

To beat Novak in this occasion
is the most difficult thing to do.

[commentator 1] Match point.

[Rune] This is a huge moment for tennis.

[commentator 1] When you're coming out
to serve for your first Wimbledon title...

the youngest world number one,
Carlos Alcaraz.

-[crowd cheering]
-[commentator 1] Djokovic is deposed.

There's a new King of Center Court.

Carlos Alcaraz of Spain.

I thought I'll have trouble with you
only on clay and maybe hard court,

-but not on grass. But now...
-[crowd laughs]

[chuckles] Now, it's a different story
from this year, obviously. Congrats.

[Alcaraz] You inspire me a lot.

You know, I started playing tennis
watching you. Uh...

-[crowd laughs]
-I mean... Since I was born, you know,

you already was winning tournaments.

[crowd applauding]

[Alcaraz in Spanish] I started
to think about all that as I realized,

I had been able to achieve
little Carlos' dream,

the dream I used to have
when I started playing tennis.

[chuckles]

[crowd cheering]

[Rune] Alcaraz, what he's doing is not
just incredible, it's insane.

It makes me raise my level.

If it doesn't hurt a little bit,
it's because you don't care enough.

That's also extra motivation to be like,

next time I'm not going to sit
on the couch

on a Sunday on the Wimbledon final.

I'm going to be there,

so I'm happy to give him a two-zero lead

but let's count when we finish our career.

[commentator] Fritz,
the King in California.

[Fritz] Last year was super positive.
Finished as the top American.

Definitely is a target on my back.

[Courier] To be the number one American
puts you up into a different level.

Everyone wants that position.

[interviewer]
Why is he always teasing you?

He loves you, maybe too much.

[Fritz] Frances has been coming
for my spot for a while now.

Good luck, okay?

[Tiafoe] After the Open,
everyone's looking at me

to take it to the next level.

-Frances and Taylor, complete opposites.
-So opposite.

[both laugh]

[Fritz] But also, you got
Tommy coming for me.

[man] Good job, TP!

[Paul] Fritz, Big Foe,
it motivates me to do what they're doing.

[commentator] Tommy Paul just starting
to grow

into that promise that he has given us.

These three Americans,
they're all fighting for the same things.

Who's gonna be the guy to do it?
k*ll or be k*lled.
