Scene: The post-match interview at the 2011 Australian Open in Melbourne.
The score: 6-2 7-5 6-3
Cast: Rafael Nadal, who's been looking a little chunkier than usual lately, has just beaten home favourite Bernard Tomic (18; really weedy).
Jim Courier - on-court interviewer
Crowd - boisterous Aussies of every stripe
Excerpt:
Jim: So, Rafa, second set... 4 sets to love down, what was going through your mind?
Rafa: Uh... I gotta win the third set!
Jim: Could you walk us through some of the tactics you used against Bernard?
Rafa: Uh... first of all *delves in to clever, adaptive strategies like getting closer to the net and playing "straighter" as my eyes glaze over with boredom* and, uh.... I found what I need to destroy him.
[pause]
Crowd: *kills itself laughing*
Jim: *giggles nervously*
Rafa: *well aware of what's just happened* NO, sorry... is that word, is other word... I dunno other word.
