01:12What exactly?
01:14Well, for tennis viewers, it looks so beautiful and so natural, especially on clay, given the surface. And I imagine
01:21as a child you may have practiced it religiously.
01:25Because that's why Europeans are probably better on clay than Americans or Australians, because that's what we grew up on.
01:34It's the more natural move for us. That's how we move on a tennis court. We move through sliding. We
01:40move through the slippery surface better because we're used to it.
01:45And as a kid, you know, nobody can really teach you how to slide. You do it instinctively at some
01:53point and naturally at some point.
01:56And if you, of course, grew up on the surface and you learned how to do it, or not learned
01:59how to do it, but you did it from a young age, you do it automatically.
02:04That's why most of the European, you look at Yannick, who's an extreme, who's an extreme. On hard courts, they
02:10move like on clay. They slide, they slide two shots, they slide for drop shots, they slide to four and
02:15back ends.
02:16I do that as well. Medvedev is another one who's an extreme. He does it on hard courts as well.
02:23And those are all European players because we grew up on this slippery surface, which made us learn how to
02:30move on a tennis court in a certain way, I think.
02:33Yeah. But again, like if you would ask me to break down how I do it, I would have no
02:39idea how I do it. I just, it's just, I see a ball. I have to get there. I slide
02:44to it. That's how I feel like everybody would explain it. Yeah.
