Hahaha! Great on so many levels. First of all, Stephen is already past forty. Also loved watching Stephen attempt to “reclimb” over that net at the end.
As someone who took tennis as an elective in college, I hated the scoring and it droved me up the wall. Never understood the reasoning behind it.
recaptcha: pinnate units (what is this scoring system for?)

Those shorts are so short that you can see a faint tan line at the beginning of the clip. James is so patient with Stephen but also very aware of Stephen’s line of questioning–his answers are well thought out! :) I hope TCR posts some more clips from this awesome segment!

The entire clip is incredible. The white legs, the lame scoring, climbing over the net. Love – love. :-)
I agree with everyone about how patient James was. And I love outtakes! Bring ‘em!

Ah, so funny! I don’t think Stephen climbed over that net enough times.
If I knew how tennis was scored before, I sure don’t know now. 0_o

Ha ha! Oh how I love outtakes! It was sort of reminiscent of my husband explaining to me how tennis is scored. I was a smart aleck about it too. Still am. We go to at least one match of the ATP almost every year and he always has to re-explain the scoring to me. It just doesn’t make any sense!

Thanks for posting this! Outtakes are ALWAYS welcome. :)
Greatest line: “That…doesn’t look comfortable.” “It’s not.” hahahaha!
I will never grow tired of seeing Stephen in that headband. :P
