:02:00
You're number one.
:02:03
But for most tennis players,
that's all it ever is... a dream.

:02:07
The reality is another story...
my story.

:02:12
You see that good-looking fella?
:02:14
No, not the kid in white.
The other, tired, good-looking fella.

:02:18
Yeah. Him.
Well, that's me.

:02:20
British Davis Cup a long time ago.
:02:23
Two singles titles even longer ago.
:02:25
Presently ranked 119th in the world.
:02:28
Sport is cruel.
:02:30
Now, I know it doesn't
sound too bad.

:02:34
Four million tennis players in the world,
and I'm 119th.

:02:37
But what that really means is this...
:02:39
118 guys out there are faster,
:02:42
stronger, better and younger.
:02:45
And it gets you thinking.
:02:47
You'll be 32 in...
The prime of my life.

:02:50
How long can Peter Colt keep playing
this game? Time to retire gracefully.

:02:54
Stop it. Stop it. Just serve.
:03:01
These young guys... where do they
get the energy, the focus?

:03:05
No fear. You see,
the one thing you can't have is fear.

:03:09
And for the first time in my life,
I'm afraid.

:03:12
Not oflosing.
I'm not even afraid of the kid.

:03:15
I'm afraid of what happens
if that ball keeps going by me.

:03:19
What happens then?
:03:22
I hope you don't mind, but I took
the liberty of having it engraved.

:03:26
- Wow.
- Exactly.

:03:29
Frankly, my biggest
problem is parking. Right.

:03:32
Mm, not for you, of course.
No. Your own space.

:03:35
Nameplate again.
Oh, good.

:03:37
Hello, Ian. Is this the young man
you were telling us about?

:03:41
Mm-hmm. Peter Colt,
the one and only.

:03:43
Once ranked
15th in the world, I hear.

:03:46
Uh, 11 th, actually,
for the better part of'96.

:03:49
Yes. Peter's got himself
a wild card at Wimbledon.

:03:53
- Then we're hoping he'll be hanging his racket here at the club.
- Well, we'll see.

:03:57
We shall look forward to giving you a peek
at our ground strokes. Won't we, ladies?
