"[MatchAnnouncer] The question is, where's Peter Colt?" "Did he flee the building with the rain?" "I think he's in the lavatory." "Isn't that a comfort break?" "Is it?" "Yes." "They are allowed one." "Ifhe's got a jumpy tummy." "So, ifhe doesn't come back" "He's gonna lose." "Of course I want to win." "I do." "But he's just better than me." "No." "He's not." "I'm two sets down." "My back's killing me." "You're going to play through the pain." "I'm too tired." "My legs are like lead." "Find a second wind." "It's whatwinners do." "His serve is unstoppable." "No, it's not." "It's a bundle oftells." " What?" " His serve." "It's like a book." "You just have to know how to read it." "You know I reallydon't care who wins." "I mean, I represent both players." "It's like asking me which one of my kids I love more." "Which one of my kids do I love more?" "My daughter." "I'll talk to you later." "[McEnroe ] Well, Peter Colt is back." "Let's hope he's better." "So farthis match has been a blowout." "Yeah, Pete!" "Peter!" "Ladies and gentlemen, as play resumes, Hammond leads... two sets to love and one game to love." "Hammond to serve." "Play." "[ Man ] Go, Pete!" "[ Lizzie's Voice ] Ifhe bounces the ball once instead oftwice, he's going for the body." "Ifhe shifts back on his left heel and shows you his toe, it means he's hitting deep." "Colt sure seemed to have Hammond's number on that one, Chrissy." "Which is a good sign ifhe 's gonna climb out ofthe giant hole he 's dug himself." "Ouch." "You al I ri ght?" "Yeah." "Welcome back." "Same to you, sir." "Station ident ready to roll." "Eight, top ofyourshot." "We got a visitor." "John, did you see who just came in?" "That'll give an immediate adrenaline burst." " Yes!" " He did it, Chrissy." "He pulled out the set." "Oh!" "Yes!" "[ Evert ] After a great comeback in the third set, colt's game has leveled." "And he andJake Hammond are even at 5-all in this tie-break." "So,John, this next point is crucial... ifColt wants to keep this comeback alive." "Come on, Peter!" "[ McEnroe ] Okay. 5-5 in the breaker." "Here we go." "6-5" " Hammond." "[ McEnroe ] Jake Hammond is up 6-5 in the tie-breaker, and he 's finally gotten himself a championship point." "This could be the final point ofPeter colt's pro career." "Ri ght here, ri ght now." " Ladies and gentlemen, quiet please." " This could be it, Chrissy." "[ Thinking ] I-If his heel moves left, he's going right." "Or is it the toss?" "Yes." "I-I-Ifhe tosses high, i-it" "Oh, sod it!" " 6-all." "[McEnroe ] Incredible point." "I'm doin'a complete 180 on Peter Colt." "This is amazing persistence from thejourneyman player." "I was already thinking about gettin' to the airport." "We may be going to a fifth set, and ifl was Jake Hammond," "I'd want to close this thing out right now." "The last thing he wants is another set with the momentum going in the other direction." "Okay." "First one to win by two." "[ Umpire ] Ladies and gentlemen, quiet please." "7-6" " Colt." "[ McEnroe ] Wow." "A double fault." "Now it looks like Hammond's the one who 's getting tight." "Peter Colt now has set poi nt to force a fifth and decidi ng set." "[ Cell Phone Ringing]" " Aw, give us a goddamn break!" " [ Ringing Continues ]" "[ Ringing Stops ] [ Umpire ] Please, shut off all mobile phones." "Thankyou." "Yeah." "[ McEnroe ] Unbelievable!" "We're gonna play five!"

"Game point." "Colt leads five games to four." "Final set." "[ Evert ] Well, Colt has brokenJake Hammond." "And after this changeover, he's gonna be serving for the Wimbledon title." "[ McEnroe ] Listen, an hour ago, I didn 't think he 'd find anybody to give him a ride home." "No question,John." "And now it's all up to him." "I mean, he 's finally got a chance to serve out the match." "[ Umpire ] Time." "Break you ri ght back, asshole." "[ McEnroe ] Didyou see that?" "That is some definite gamesmanship from Jake Hammond." "Come on, Peter." "1 5-love." "Come on!" "[ Evert ] Peter Colt is now three points away from winning Wimbledon." "[ Thi nki ng ] One poi nt at a ti me, Peter." "One point at a time." "It's just another point." "It's just another point." "Like hell it is." "You could be the champion ofWimbledon, which means you wouldn't have to take the projob for starters." "You could buy a new place, redecorate." "Lizzie could help with that." "Oh, God knows what taste she has." "Oh, shut up, you silly ponce." "[Umpire ] 30-love." "[McEnroe ] Make that two points away, Chrissy." " [Man ] Come on, Peter!" " Ladies and gentlemen, quiet please." "[ Peter Thinking ] Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Come on, Pete." "3 0-1 5." "Chrissy, we talked about colt's reputation in the past... as a choker when it comes to big points." "Well, this is primo choke time." "I wouldn't be surprised ifColt got real tight now." "Thank you." "I t's my fault." "[ Chanting] Peter!" "Peter!" "Peter!" "Don't choke." "Don't choke." "Don't choke." "Don't choke." "Please don't choke." "Please don't choke." "Don't choke." "I'm not gonna choke, damn it." "40-15." "Peter!" "[McEnroe ] Doyou believe it?" "Peter Colt is serving a championship point." "Quiet please." "Ladies and gentlemen, quiet please." "Championship point." "Right then." " Out." " 40-30." " [Evert ] I don't believe it." "That was a terrible call for Colt." " No!" " What the hell?" " What?" " [ Crowd Jeering ]" " Look at the chalk fly." "The ball was definitely in." " It was on the line." " It was on the line!" "I'd be torching the stadium about now." "Excuse me!" "The ball was good." "40-30." "Oh, come on." "The ball was good." "Chalk flew up." "The whole stadium saw it." "I don't know ifyou've noticed, but it's quite an important point." "That's too close for me to overrule." "Please resume play." "Absolutely not." "I'm not playing." "This is complete bollocks." " Absolutely bollocks." " [Umpire ] Code violation." "Unsportsmanlike conduct." "Warning, Mr. Colt." " [ Chanting] In!" "In!" "In!" " Oh, my" "[Evert ] Okay, here we go." "Peter Colt has his second chance now to win the championship." "[ McEnroe ] The question is, can he do it?" "After a call like that... a lot ofplayers, includingyours truly, would have a hard time getting back in the mind-set." "Ladies and gentlemen, quiet please." " [ Crowd Gasps ] - [ Evert ] That serve wasn't even close." "[ McEnroe ] It wasn't fast either." "[ Mother's Voice ] I believe you to be a truly great tennis player." " [ Man's Voice ] Ultimately disappointing." " [ McEnroe 's Voice ] Total collapse ofa player's" "[ Thinking ] Stop it." "You have to stop it." "Now."

"[Evert] He seems to be lookin' forsomebody else." "[McEnroe ] I think the whole world knows who he's lookin'for." "There's so much I want to say to you." "I 'm not going anywhere." "Oh, yes, you are." "You're going a long, long way." "[Peter Narrating] Nothing couldpossibly match that moment." "It's everythingyou wait a lifetime for." "That dream finally come true." "What else could ever come close?" "Except this, maybe." "I did take a job at a club." "But teachingyoung kids like my own, not old ladies." "Yeah!" "And I love it." "I beatyou." "I beatyou."
