0:00:40 > 0:00:44- Hey, Sid!- I've got the popcorn to eat while we watch our film.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Yummy. Make yourself nice and comfy!
0:00:46 > 0:00:51That's easier said than done with you wriggling about like that!
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Sorry, Rebecca. My back's still itching.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Ah, think I've got it.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Good. We don't want any distractions while we watch our film!
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Yes, I know, because an itch like that can really distract...
0:01:02 > 0:01:06- Oh, no! It's back again.- We're never going to watch our film!
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- Hold on, Rebecca. It's time!- Great!
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- It's time to play! - Whose turn is it today?
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Let it be me!- Let it be me!
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Me!- Me!- Me!
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Let it be me! Let-let-let it be me
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Let it be me!
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Let it be me.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- BOTH:- # Let it be me Let it be me
0:01:31 > 0:01:35# I really, really, really, really hope that it's me
0:01:35 > 0:01:38# Let, let, let, let, let, let-let-let it be me!
0:01:38 > 0:01:42# Let it be me Let it be me
0:01:42 > 0:01:46# I really, really, really, really hope that it's me. #
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Could it be me?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Could it be me?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52It's me!
0:01:52 > 0:01:53# Yes, it's me
0:01:53 > 0:01:55# Yes, it's me
0:01:55 > 0:01:59# I'm really, really, really, really happy! #
0:01:59 > 0:02:01It's me!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Look, there's the dressing-up room!
0:02:04 > 0:02:06# Let's play! #
0:02:06 > 0:02:08This is really exciting.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11So, what do you think we're playing today?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15MACHINE WHOOSHES
0:02:16 > 0:02:18So, what am I wearing?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20A Viking's helmet...
0:02:20 > 0:02:22a nurse's uniform...
0:02:22 > 0:02:25and a pair of doggy slippers. THEY BARK
0:02:25 > 0:02:29No, this definitely isn't right. Let's try again!
0:02:29 > 0:02:31MACHINE WHOOSHES
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Well, this time I'm all dressed in white,
0:02:35 > 0:02:39I've got a pair of trainers and a tennis racquet.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41So, what do you think we're playing today?
0:02:41 > 0:02:46Of course! I'm going to be a tennis player! What do we need to know?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Tennis is a game played on a tennis court.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52The players stand at either end of the court
0:02:52 > 0:02:56and hit a ball over a net using a racquet until one of them misses.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Tennis players have to warm up their bodies with special exercises
0:03:00 > 0:03:02before they play.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04A referee, called an umpire,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07tosses a coin to decide which player starts the game.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11And tennis players have a special bag called a racquet bag.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15This usually contains at least five racquets.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20OK. Well, that's what we need to remember. Do we need anything else?
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Hmm, a pair of wintry earmuffs?
0:03:27 > 0:03:31I thought tennis was usually played in the summer!
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Oh, well. We've got everything we need. Let's go!
0:03:34 > 0:03:35# Let's play! #
0:03:37 > 0:03:42- Hey, Sid! You look better. Has your itch gone for good?- Absolutely...
0:03:42 > 0:03:43..not!
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I think I'm going to itch forever!
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Oh, dear! Well, maybe you can take your mind off it
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- by guessing what I'm playing today. - Of course.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Air guitar champion!
0:03:55 > 0:03:57GUITAR SOLO
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- No, Sid, I'm playing tennis players! - Have a smashing time!
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- I'll save the film...- And the popcorn!- ..until you get back.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Hopefully my itch will have gone by then.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Happy scratching!- Bye! - See you later!
0:04:10 > 0:04:11# Let's play! #
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Come on, let's play tennis!
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Wooooah!
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Hee-hee! Wheeee!
0:04:22 > 0:04:23# Let's play! #
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Oh, so where am I? Look at all this tennis stuff!
0:04:28 > 0:04:32I've clearly come somewhere where they play a lot of tennis!
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Oh, and look at this impressive trophy!
0:04:36 > 0:04:39It sure is, and it is my dream that one amazing day,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42it'll be me lifting up the trophy!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44So you're a tennis player, too?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Yes, not as good as you, of course,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49but maybe one day, if I keep practising.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- I think you're confusing me with someone else.- Not a chance!
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- You're Rebecca, the tennis player, right?- Yes...
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- And you're playing the big match for the tennis trophy?- Am I?!
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- That's what it says on the board. - Can't argue with that!
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- Are you in the big match, too? - Me? No, no.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08I'm not good enough for that yet.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- But today I have the honour of being your ball boy.- A ball boy?
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- What's a ball boy?- Me! I get to look after the tennis balls.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19If you hit the ball into the net or out of the court,
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- it's my job to fetch it back. - Oh, right!- Here, try me.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- Throw me a ball. - Right, OK.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Oops! Look out!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Oh, I'm so sorry! That was a total mistake.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Get off me, please! You're ruining my creases!
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Not to mention my concentration. Don't you know who I am?!
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- Now I'm sure I've seen you somewhere before.- Of course you have!
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I'm Ace Smasheroo, the world's number one tennis player.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I've got the fastest serve. I've never lost a match,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50and I'm here to win that tennis trophy.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54That's where I've seen you before! I'm Rebecca.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56I'm playing you in the match today.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Me? Playing you? Ha-ha-ha!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I may as well take home the trophy right now.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05You won't last long against my serve, Rebecca.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- Oh, dear. He's not very happy. I think that was my fault.- Don't worry!
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Ace Smasheroo's got a short temper.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17He sounds good - maybe I should practise before the match.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21I know who can help - our tennis coach. He's on the practice court.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Where's that?- Over there.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Great, thanks! - Oh, you'll need a tennis ball!
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Hey, what is this? This is just what I'm looking for!- Hello.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I'm looking for the tennis coach?
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Your quest is at an end, my friend. I am the coach. Awesome!
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Brilliant! I need to learn how to play tennis.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- You're in the right place, smiley face.- I'm Rebecca.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- I'm playing Ace Smasheroo. - That will be tough, he's the best!
0:06:47 > 0:06:50But don't be glum, chum. We'll get you up to speed.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Coach will show you the moves!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Brilliant! OK, let's play!
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Whoa, not so fast. Put down the racquet and back off the court.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- You said you were happy to show me the moves!- I am,
0:07:01 > 0:07:05but you're not playing any tennis until you're properly ready.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07What does he mean, properly ready?
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Is there something I'm meant to do first? But what is it?
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Hold on!
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I remember, do you? That's it!
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Tennis players have to do special exercises
0:07:18 > 0:07:21to warm up their bodies before they play.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Got it in one! You can't play tennis unless you warm up.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29OK, shake your hand like this. Shake the next hand like this.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Shake your arms like this. Now shake your foot, and the next foot.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35And wibble and wobble like a jellyfish!
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Wibble and wobble like a jellyfish!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I feel a lot better, Coach, thanks!
0:07:40 > 0:07:44That's only half of it. Now you have to learn how to stretch.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48See the apple in the tree? Stretch! And reach for the apple.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- Your turn.- Stretch, and reach for the apple!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55BOTH: Stretch, and reach for the apple.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Wibble and wobble like a jellyfish. Stretch and reach for the apple.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Wibble and wobble like a jellyfish! How are you feeling?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- I'm ready for some tennis!- Good!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Let's start off nice and simple.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13All right, just hit the ball back to me.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- Oh, it's not as easy as it looks! - No problem, I can see the problem.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Hold the racquet like this. Awesome!
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Remember, all you've got to do is keep your eye on the ball.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- Keep your eye on the ball. Where's your eye?- Eye on the ball.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Where's your eye?- Eye on the ball.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34You got it!
0:08:36 > 0:08:38OK! I'm ready. Ready?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Nice return, you won the point.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Well done! I knew you could do it.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- Brilliant. I'm ready for anything now.- Good job.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Oh, I think that's the crowd arriving.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Get out there and play your best tennis! I'll be right behind you.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59APPLAUSE
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Welcome, tennis fans, to another tennis trophy match!
0:09:04 > 0:09:05CROWD CHEERS
0:09:05 > 0:09:09And here comes the reigning champion, Ace Smasheroo.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11He's never lost a single match!
0:09:12 > 0:09:16And today's plucky challenger is Rebecca.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19It says here that she's never lost a single match.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Because she's never played a single match, either!
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Right. Let's play!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Erm, excuse me!
0:09:28 > 0:09:31As champion, I should serve first.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38But the ball boy gave the ball to me, so I think I should serve first.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40As champion, I should serve first.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42But it's my first match!
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Please let me serve first.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46We both want to serve first!
0:09:46 > 0:09:51There must be a fair way of deciding this. But what could it be?
0:09:51 > 0:09:56If we don't decide, the match won't start. What are we going to do?
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Hold on! I remember, do you? That's it!
0:10:00 > 0:10:06A referee called an umpire tosses a coin to decide who starts the game.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08We need to find an umpire!
0:10:09 > 0:10:11A-ha! An umpire!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Excuse me, Mr Umpire, sir?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18How may I help you?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20We're about to play a game of tennis,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23but we can't decide who should serve first.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27That is right, because that is my job. I must toss the coin.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Now, where is it? Ah. Heads or tails?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Heads, please!
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I always pick heads.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Heads it is.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Oh, great! I'd like to serve first, please!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Rebecca to serve first.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Fine! I didn't want to serve first anyway!
0:10:48 > 0:10:53And, with Rebecca winning the toss, it looks like she'll serve first.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Reminds me of the days I won the toss back in 1976.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00The only thing I did win that year. Oh, those were the days!
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Yes, girl!
0:11:05 > 0:11:08It's a great serve from the young newcomer.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12But Ace has got it in his sights and he hits it straight back.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14But Rebecca's right there and POW!
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Straight over the net and Ace is nowhere to be seen.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Rebecca wins the first point. - A point to me!
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- It's the only point you'll get today!- We'll see about that.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Rebecca is matching Ace shot for shot.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46The pressure's on. If she wins this point, she's won the game!
0:11:50 > 0:11:53And she's done it!
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Yeeeaaah!
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Yeeeeaaah!
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Grrrrr!
0:11:58 > 0:11:59I won, I won!
0:11:59 > 0:12:01That's only the first game!
0:12:01 > 0:12:06There's still more of them to play, and this time, I get to serve.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17POW! Ace serves an ace, and Rebecca didn't stand a chance.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22And again! He's owning the court.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Keep your eye on the ball, Rebecca!
0:12:24 > 0:12:27You've got to get the ball over the net.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30He's right! I don't stand a chance if I just stand here.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34CROWD CHEERS
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- Out! Ace wins the point. - But I got the ball over the net!
0:12:38 > 0:12:41You've got to get it over the net and inside the white line.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- Otherwise, it is out. - SHE SIGHS
0:12:43 > 0:12:47The pressure is really starting to mount now on our two players.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50If Ace wins this point, he'll win the second game.
0:12:50 > 0:12:56Just like my match against Stringy Juice in 1978. Those were the days!
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Eye on the ball. Eye on the ball.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Wow, what a shot!
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Rebecca is back in the game!
0:13:09 > 0:13:11APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:13:11 > 0:13:14You won't stand a chance against the Smasheroo Special.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Do your worst, Ace.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26The Smasheroo Special!
0:13:26 > 0:13:30If Rebecca doesn't get this one, then Ace wins the second game.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I can get this!
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Yikes! Looks like it got me!
0:13:51 > 0:13:55The Smasheroo Special smashed straight through my strings!
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- I can't play with a broken racquet. - Really?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Well, in that case, you can't keep playing on, can you?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04So that means the trophy belongs to me.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Oh, no! What am I going to do?!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Think, Rebecca, think!
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Hold on! I remember, do you? That's right!
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Tennis players have a special bag called a racquet bag,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21which usually contains at least five racquets.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I need a new racquet.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33Look, Ace! I've got a new racquet. In fact, I've got another four!
0:14:33 > 0:14:38Let's finish this match properly. And this time, it's my turn to serve.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Grrrrr!
0:14:49 > 0:14:51# Let's play! #
0:14:51 > 0:14:55And it's Rebecca to serve again in this really close game.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Come on, Rebecca!
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Ha-ha! Yeah!
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Both players are really tired now.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11But Rebecca has just pulled ahead.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15If she wins this next point, she wins the whole match.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18But can she do it? The pressure is really on her now!
0:15:18 > 0:15:21CROWD CHANTS: "Rebecca! Rebecca!"
