0:00:02 > 0:00:03- Hi, I'm Amelia.- And I'm Imogen.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06- We are 12 years old. - And if you haven't guessed...
0:00:06 > 0:00:08- BOTH:- We are identical twins.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14This summer, we are going to crack Wimbledon.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16But there's just one small problem.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18We don't play tennis.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22We've never made strawberries and cream.
0:00:23 > 0:00:28And as for umpiring, even the chair is scary.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29How am I going to get down?
0:00:29 > 0:00:33But one way or another, we are going to turn Wimbledon...
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- BOTH:- Into Twinbeldon.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45We were terrible at playing the game.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49So we've come to Surbiton tennis tournaments to see what else
0:00:49 > 0:00:51we could possibly do to get into Wimbledon.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hey, we get to sit down all the time.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Yeah, that's much more my cup of tea.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Why does he keep saying, "Love," though?
0:01:01 > 0:01:04I don't know. Maybe he just really likes the players.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Why does he keep saying, "In, out, in, out, in, out?"
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I don't know. Maybe he's doing the hokey cokie.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Girls, love means no points.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15And in/out means whether they've got a point or not.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18You're going to have to learn the rules if you want to be an umpire.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21A tennis umpire is a referee for all the matches.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Mum is right, we know nothing about how to do the job.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26We need help.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28We are here to meet Gordon Reid.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Britain's number one wheelchair tennis player.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Gordon Reid has been playing wheelchair tennis for over 12 years.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41And he won a Paralympic gold medal in Rio.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43And he won Wimbledon last year.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45CHEERING
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Hi, girls.- BOTH:- Hi.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- So I hear you two would like to be umpires.- Yeah.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I want to be the umpire in the big, tall chair.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58He's the one everybody wants to be. He's got the most power.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Power? Now, that sounds like our kind of thing.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05What does an umpire actually do?
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Well, the umpire's main job is to look after the players and
0:02:08 > 0:02:11make sure they are behaving themselves.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Come on. Please, look at it! What?
0:02:13 > 0:02:14You are the worst ever!
0:02:16 > 0:02:17But their other job is to call
0:02:17 > 0:02:21when the ball is inside the line or outside the line.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Foul!
0:02:22 > 0:02:24So, this is our line that we are going to use to decide
0:02:24 > 0:02:26whether the ball is in or out.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29So, anything that lands this side of the line is in.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Anything that lands that side of the line, you have to shout, "Out,"
0:02:33 > 0:02:34as loud as you can.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- BOTH:- That sounds easy. - We can totally do that.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Well, it's not as easy as it looks. Cos you have to be really focused.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Focus? That's not really our strong point.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47What were you saying?
0:02:48 > 0:02:52For Wimbledon umpires, focus is everything.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55So Amelia is putting her focus to the test
0:02:55 > 0:02:57by calling the ball in or out.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00OK, are you ready? You know what's in, you know what's out?
0:03:00 > 0:03:01- Kind of.- OK, let's go.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Out.- That was in, not out.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06This side of the line is in, that side of the line, out.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- Out.- Good job.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Out.- Good job, that was better.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Now that I'm starting to get it, Gordon wants to make it
0:03:16 > 0:03:19harder by getting Imogen to try and distract me.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23SHE LAUGHS
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I don't think your focus was very good there.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27It doesn't matter if the ball is flying at you,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29you've got to be very serious and follow the line.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Ready? Focused?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- Was that not out?- Oh, right, yes.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Oh, it's all going a bit downhill.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I don't think I've ever tickled an umpire on the court before.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Come on, over here.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47I think you are better at making each other laugh
0:03:47 > 0:03:49than you were at calling the lines.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50- Yeah.- So, what do you think?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Do you think we will be able to go into the big chair now?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Why don't you meet a real umpire and they can tell you what it's
0:03:55 > 0:03:58really like to be up in the big chair?
0:04:01 > 0:04:02- Hi, George.- Hi, girls.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06George is one of the best umpires in the UK.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- And he's going to be umpiring at Wimbledon.- I am.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12Whoa, whoa, whoa!
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- You can't just get up in my chair. - Sorry.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17So what have we got to do, then?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Come and sit down, I'll tell you how to be an umpire.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22OK, girls, so in order to be a tennis umpire,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25you need to know the tennis rule book.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27And you need to know everything that's inside it.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Are you kidding me?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Nope! If you want to be a chair umpire,
0:04:31 > 0:04:32you need to learn all the rules.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Imogen, you can do that. - I can't learn all this.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37OK, what's next?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41So, next, you also need to be able to shout really loud,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44so that everybody on court can hear you.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45FAINTLY: Out.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46- FAINTLY:- Out!
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I'm not sure that's loud enough.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I think we might have to practise with some of those voices.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53OK, so you need to learn the rule book,
0:04:53 > 0:04:57learn how to project your voice and then come back and see me.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58- OK.- Bye-bye, thank you.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05We take it all back. This book of rules is so handy.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Riley, wakey-wakey! You've got homework to do.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23But enough with the boring stuff.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26If we are going to impress George when we umpire his match,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29we have to learn to project our voices.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32We're here to meet Tom from The Wanted,
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- to see he can help with our umpiring skills.- Let's go!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Tom is one of The Wanted, who have had loads of chart
0:05:39 > 0:05:41hits all over the world.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45And he's now starring as Danny in Grease The Musical.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Hey, girls.- Hi, Tom. - How are you doing?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53So, singers have something very in common with umpires
0:05:53 > 0:05:56because they both have to project their voices.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- So do you have to... - YELLS:- ..talk really loudly?!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02They do, actually. So, we are on the set of Grease The Musical.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06So we're going to try some lines, yeah? You ready for it? Let's do it.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Patty, will you stop twirling that thing?!
0:06:09 > 0:06:10So we're going to do that line, yeah? Amelia.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Patty, will you stop twirling that thing?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Not a bad effort, I think you can give more than that, to be honest.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Amelia, I know you are a little bit shy to do it.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22If you have confidence, you will project your voice so much easier.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Patty, will you stop twirling that thing?!
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Patty, would you stop twirling that thing?!
0:06:29 > 0:06:31So good. Real good.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34And Tom's got another tip for us.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37So, when I got taught how to sing, it was all about using
0:06:37 > 0:06:41your diaphragm. It forces that volume to come out of your throat.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Ready? Go for it.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- Patty, will you stop twirling that thing?!- Good.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Patty, would you stop twirling that thing?!
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Such a big difference. Massive difference.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I feel like you've come on leaps and bounds in the space of five minutes.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58High-five, amazing. Loved it.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Are you ready for the Twins' Cheeky Question?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Of course.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Who was the smelliest band member?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Oh!
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I think Jay.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14He stinks. But don't tell anyone, OK?
0:07:14 > 0:07:19- BOTH:- OK.- This secret is safe with us.- Thanks.- Thanks so much.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22We're going to practise SHOUTING at home.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Your mum and dad aren't going to like you very much.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26- OK.- Doesn't matter.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Come on, girls. We need to go.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33When a twin has got to practise, a twin has got to practise.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Girls, have you had a good day?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- SHOUT:- Yes, thank you, it was lovely!
0:07:39 > 0:07:41SHOUTS: We saw a friend.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- SHOUTS:- And we had a lot of fun!
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Why do you keep shouting at me?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Because we have to practise our voice for being an umpires.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53- Well, do you have to do that here? - Yes, we have to do it everywhere!
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Oh, great.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58After annoying Dad as much as possible,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01the big moment has arrived.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05And I do wonder if we should have actually read the rule book
0:08:05 > 0:08:06a little more.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Hi, girls. Have you been working hard?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Yeah, of course. We know everything.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15We know when a ball is in or out, we know how to keep score,
0:08:15 > 0:08:16and we know the offside rule.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Imogen, that's football, not tennis!
0:08:19 > 0:08:22How would you feel about helping me out with my next match?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Yeah. - Great, I could do with a break.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27OK, Amelia, if you are ready on the chair,
0:08:27 > 0:08:32and you are ready on the line. Good luck. I'm going to leave you to it.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33It's crunch time.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37We've only got one shot at this, so we'd better not mess it up.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40First set. Serve.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Play.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Here we go.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- Out!- Good spot, Amelia.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- Out.- Nice call, Imogen.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Game, Anthony. First game.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59First game done. I think we can actually do this.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04That was a ridiculous decision, that was out!
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Oops!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07It looks like we spoke too soon.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I think I've lost track of the score.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16Game, first set, Anthony 6-1.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18That's not the score. It's 5-2!
0:09:18 > 0:09:19No.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Out!- Are you kidding me?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- I'm the judge. - Wouldn't get that at Wimbledon.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27This is a joke!
0:09:29 > 0:09:30I think they're getting cross with us.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- I know, I think we should get out of here.- Yeah!
0:09:37 > 0:09:38How am I going to get down?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43OK, that was a complete disaster.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46So, what is the thing that is going to get us into Wimbledon?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49APPLAUSE
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Wait a second. Look at those guys.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53They get to be really close to the action
0:09:53 > 0:09:56and no-one is yelling at them.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Yeah, that actually looks fun. Let's go.
