Tennis

0:00:06 > 0:00:09Calling Zog! Calling Zog!

0:00:09 > 0:00:10Zo-o-og!

0:00:10 > 0:00:13Zag Novak and Zig Djokovic reporting from Planet Earth.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15Today we talk about tennis.

0:00:15 > 0:00:19The sport of kings. Two horses, two knights with long pointy sticks

0:00:19 > 0:00:21and they run at each other to knock their opponent off their mount,

0:00:21 > 0:00:25and the winner of the tennis match gets to marry the Princess!

0:00:25 > 0:00:27Think you got that wrong, Ziggity-bo.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30- They use rackets, not pointy sticks.- Oh.

0:00:30 > 0:00:31Everything else, spot-on.

0:00:31 > 0:00:32Tennis nowadays is a game where

0:00:32 > 0:00:34you try to get the tiny ball into the net,

0:00:34 > 0:00:38avoiding the speeding children who dart back and forth in front of it.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Do you still get to win the Princess's hand in marriage?

0:00:40 > 0:00:43The royals often attend tennis matches

0:00:43 > 0:00:46- but the prize nowadays is a giant cup.- A boring cup?

0:00:46 > 0:00:49That's full of strawberries and cream!

0:00:49 > 0:00:52Deliciousest prize ever!

0:00:52 > 0:00:55So, Zag, if they don't ride horses any more in a tennis field,

0:00:55 > 0:00:56where do they play tennis?

0:00:56 > 0:00:58Modern tennis is played in a court.

0:00:58 > 0:00:59Does the judge not mind?

0:00:59 > 0:01:02They only play at weekends when there are no court cases.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Makes sense. Do they have refs like in feetball?

0:01:05 > 0:01:07No, tennis is judged by vampires!

0:01:07 > 0:01:08Vampires?!

0:01:08 > 0:01:11But don't worry, they're locked in a high chair

0:01:11 > 0:01:13- so they can't bite the players' necks.- Makes sense!

0:01:14 > 0:01:1640, love!

0:01:16 > 0:01:19Why, thank you, darling!

0:01:19 > 0:01:21What's with all the grunting? "Uhh!"

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Many tennis players to this day still grunt

0:01:23 > 0:01:26but it dates all the way back to prehistoric tennis,

0:01:26 > 0:01:27- when cavemen used to play it.- Wow!

0:01:27 > 0:01:30And the grunts are signals to the other players

0:01:30 > 0:01:32to try and throw them off their game as you serve the ball.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Hurgh! That means there's a T Rex right behind you.

0:01:35 > 0:01:36Sneaky!

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Uuh! That means your shorts have fallen down.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Huh? Got me again! - And this one... Huuu-argh!

0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Eat my strawberries and cream dust, sister!- Bu-urn. Tss!

0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Deuce!- I thought you'd never ask. Orange or blackcurrant or orange?

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Or blackcurrant? Or orange?

0:01:51 > 0:01:53There you have it.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56All you need to know about the crazy Earth game of tennis.
