52 seasons in the making, a look at the lives and loves of 'professional' tennis players as they serve nothing but drama, attitude and aces…
Yeah, I mean, I think that's what people don't realise.
Like, it's all just scripted.
Like, the players, the matches, it's all just kind of made up.
It's a bit like, you know, wrestling or the reality TV shows.
Like, none of it's real.
Welcome everyone.
As usual, you know what we're here to do.
Main storylines for the season.
Where do you want to start?
The start of any season is exciting.
Seeing our words come to life, it's a real buzz.
We usually get our storylines at the start of the year.
And yeah, we just try to make everything look natural.
You know, let's face it, people are stupid.
So, you know, they'll buy anything.
Well, I've been part of this show for 16, 17 years.
Or ATP seasons, as we call them.
Something that I'm really trying to evoke with this Nova character
is not just the performance and the achievements,
but a bit more of an essence, a bit more of personality.
You know, I try to have people relate to him.
I want to bring truth to Noak.
You know, what is he thinking?
What is he feeling?
What would motivate him if he was a real person?
Mr Fritz, they're ready for you on set.
Thank you.
I think people would be surprised how different
some of these actors are to their characters.
When I first joined the cast, I had two pieds-gauches, two left feet.
I have to practice hard, how to move,
because in life I have no coordination.
As an athlete, it was not very good.
Well, I have to say, you know,
in all the productions that I've been involved in,
the level of detail in this show is just incredible.
Dominic team, grunts, take one.
You know, they honestly just think of everything.
The actors are the show,
so we provide them with everything they need,
from acting coaches, movement directors.
Improv, character development classes.
This year, we let them shoot their winner speeches on green screen.
We work everything around them.
We even have a full-time PA to take care of everything they need.
Just a quick update on your dressing room request.
We're looking pretty good.
Not going to lie, the room's a touch more than he probably would have liked,
but it's south-facing, so not all is bad.
It might not always seem like it, but we know they appreciate it.
All right?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think so.
Youth audience.
How do we reach them?
I'm thinking TikTok.
What else?
Dance challenges.
There were so many different ways we could have gone with this,
but in the end, we just decided to cast a few younger actors.
Okay, let's lean in on that,
and I think that will get us where we need to be.
It's going to be another great season.
We've got action.
We've got drama.
We've got an incredible cast.
Yeah, I mean, we just try to make everything look real,
and the viewers seem to love it.
Not easy, but, you know, it works.
