《キャサリン妃アンディ・マリー選手をゲストに子供達とビデオ電話！》

7 / 10 (金)

『a Zoom call

to mark

what would typically be the start of Finals Weekend

@ Wimbledon

with tennis students from Bond Primary School

and

Andy Murray

in her role as Patron of

the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC)』

本来であれば、

ウィンブルドン選手権のハイライト

最も盛り上がる、

最終決戦が行われるはずだった今週末。

“オール・イングランド・ローン・テニス＆クローケット　・クラブ”
（AELTC)

のパトロンであるキャサリン妃が

ビデオ電話に登場！

ロンドンの“ボンド・プライマリー・スクール”

の生徒たちとリモートで交流。

ここといえば、

2018年に、キャサリン妃が訪問されたことがありました。
AELTCが主催の、
テニスのフリーレッスンのプロジェクトを
視察された時でしたね。

プラス、この日
嬉しいサプライズありで！

この日、もう1人ゲストがいることを明かし

いくつかのヒントを子供達へ。

1人が見事予想的中させ

そこで《アンディー・マリー》選手が登場！

本来なら、

ウィンブルドンのコート上で闘いを繰り広げているはずのところ

幸か不幸か、

テニスの後輩たちともいえる子供達とQ&A

キャサリン妃は一転、

インタビュアーさながら。

ロックダウン中、
2児の父であるマリー氏が子供達のホームスクーリングの話から
自身の新たなトレーニングについて。

自身のテニスのキャリアや
子供達へのアドバイス。
そして、ウィンブルドン中止に関しての話など。

「私達はホームスクーリングを行っていたんですが、難しかったですね。

でも同時に、楽しくもあったのですが。」

「最初の5、6週間は大丈夫だったんですが、

子供達を楽しませることが段々難しくなってきました。
クリエイティブなアイデアやゲームでないと楽しんでくれないので。」

約10週間くらいはテニスをしていなかったそうで、

その代わりに、ロードバイクで外を走って、

身体をキープしていたそう。

それまでははやったことがなかったそうで、

いわば、ロックダウン中に見つけた、

楽しみながら出来る、

新たなエクササイズ法だったもよう。

「こんな時だからこそ、出来る限りアクティブでい続けることが大切で、それがマインドにも良い影響なんです。」

また、
「アンディ、じゃあ、彼らへ
プロのプレーヤーになるための
何かアドバイスはありますか？」

「最も重要なことは、楽しむこと。
もし楽しんでいれば、
レッスンや練習からより多くを得られるはず。

コーチの言うことをよく聞く。それもとても大切。
この二つが、君たちの年齢で最も重要なことだよ。」

「闘うにしろ、試合でプレイするにしろ、一生懸命にやること。
でも、勝ち負けが最も重要なわけではなくて、スポーツを楽しみ、活動的でいることが一番重要なことなんです。
もし君達が、仕事にしようと思っているなら、勝敗というものが状況を左右するのは、言うまでもないけどね。
でも、君たちの年代は、楽しむことが何より大切だよ。」

また、名司会者キャサリン妃（笑）は
子供達からマリー選手への、何か質問を問いかけ。

生徒たちやコーチらから

マリー選手がテニスを仕事にしようと思ったきっかけや

最初の試合を覚えているか、などと質問が。

また、子供達へ、
好きな他のスポーツについて質問され、
サッカーチームの名が挙がり
思わず笑みが溢れた、キャサリン妃とマリー氏。

最後は、
ウィンブルドン選手権の中止について質問。
「ビッグな選手権がなくてとても寂しく思っています。なぜなら、テニスプレーヤーとしては、着実に年を取っていっているので、一体あと何度この大きな選手権でプレイが出来る機会があるのか、誰にも分かりません。
その意味でも、今週のウィンブルドンの中止は本当に残念です。
また旅に関しても出来なくなりました。
皆と同じ様に、友人たちと会う機会を失いました。
家族も。両親には数ヶ月会っていないので、願わくば、近いうちに彼らに会えることをとても心待ちにしています。」

「いくつかの挑戦が続いていますが、でも、この様な困難な時を乗り越えた時、時に当たり前だと思っていたことに、感謝することが学べると思いませんか。
僕は、機会を得たら、家族や友人たちと一緒にいようと思っています、

「その通り！」
とキャサリン妃
「そして、その時間がなるべく近いことを願っています。」

Game. Set. Match. 🎾

To mark what would have been the start of finals weekend of the famous @Wimbledon Championships, The Duchess of Cambridge was joined by surprise guest Sir @andy_murray, as she spoke to young tennis players from Bond Primary School in South London. pic.twitter.com/Nje9LGRXlH

One instructor said the children had been “on fire” in training that day, with the Duchess asking “What sort of things have you been learning?”

Shown one of the drills, which involved young players running quickly on the spot, she said: “Fantastic! That’s very important for your footwork isn’t it?”

Speaking slowly so she could be heard over a short time delay, she asked: “Have you all missed doing lots of physical exercise and things during lockdown? What sort of things have you been able to do?”

そして、サプライズのゲストがいることを！

'I've got a very important person here that's going to come and join us, that would love to meet you guys and might be able to share some tennis tips as well with you.

'I'll give you a few clues and see if you can guess who this special guest might be.

'So he ... is a he. He plays tennis for Great Britain. He's a two-time Olympic champion. He's a former World Number One... Can you possibly guess who this might be?'

To mark what would have been the start of the Wimbledon finals Championships,

the Duchess of Cambridge joined Andy Murray and children from Bond Primary School in London for a Zoom call

Sir Andy, who would usually have been playing at Wimbledon this week, went on to answer questions from budding tennis players, disclosing he was missing big matches, friends and family, but passing the time with home schooling and a new hobby of road cycling.

The Duchess briefly turned interviewer, asking father of two Sir Andy about his lockdown experience and whether he had kept up with training.

Saying he found the first five or six week manageable, he admitted he had 'started to find it probably a bit harder to find things to do for the kids, to stay creative with ideas and games for them to enjoy.

'We're doing the home schooling which is difficult. It was difficult but at times I really enjoyed it as well,' he said.

He did not play tennis for around ten weeks, he said, instead staying in shape with cycling.

'I was going out on my road bike which was something I've never done before, so that's something kind of new that I learned I enjoy during lockdown,' he added. 'It's quite important in these times to stay as active as you can because it good for the mind as well.'

The Duchess told him: 'There's lots of budding tennis players here at Bond Primary School as well. Have you guys got any questions you want to ask Andy?'

The youngsters and coaches asked why he picked tennis as a career, whether he remembered his first tennis match and comebacks from difficult times, with Sir Andy speaking of the importance of having good family and friends around him to help 'moving forward and working hard through setbacks'.

'And Andy, have you got any tips for these guys if they want to take up tennis a bit more professionally?' asked Kate.

'The most important thing is to have fun,' said Sir Andy. 'If you're enjoying it, you get more out of your lessons and your practising. Listen to your coach, that's very important. That's the two most important things at your age.

'If you're competing or playing any matches, try really hard in them.

'But winning and losing isn't the most important thing. Enjoying playing a sport and being active is the most important thing.

'If you do go on to choose it as your career obviously the winning and losing changes a bit.'

Asking the children about their other favourite sports, the Duchess and Sir Andy laughed as they animatedly shared their favourite football teams of Chelsea and Tottenham.

'Ooo big rivalries there,' said the tennis ace.

Before she said goodbye, the Duchess asked Sir Andy whether he had been missing matches.

He said: 'I think missing the big competitions, because I'm getting old for a tennis player - you never know how many opportunities you're going to have left to play the biggest competitions. So missing Wimbledon this week is obviously a shame.

'I've missed the travelling...missing seeing friends like everyone else. Family, I've not seen my mum and dad for a few months so i'm looking forward to seeing them again hopefully very soon.

'There's been some challenges but I guess sometimes when you go through difficult moments like this you learn to appreciate the things you maybe took for granted sometimes?

'I'll definitely make sure I spend more time with my family and friends when I get the opportunity.'

'Exactly,' the Duchess replied. 'And hopefully that time is relatively near as well.'

The AELTC has instead run 'Wimbledon Recreated', a campaign to promote Wimbledon, tennis, and sport through coverage of archive matches.

In addition to £1.2m in donations from the Wimbledon Foundation to local and national charities, the AELTC is also delivering hot meals to the local community, distributing strawberries to local hospitals, providing towels to the homeless through the charity Crisis, and tennis balls to clubs across the country through the LTA.

2019年のウィンブルドンでもお会いに。

previously visited the school in January 2018 to see the work of the Wimbledon Junior Tennis Initiative, the AELTC's community tennis programme, which sees coaches deliver free tennis sessions to school children in the boroughs of Merton and Wandsworth.

2017年 the Gentlemen’s Singles Final

Kate began wearing the accessory, which dons the official colours of the Wimbledon tournament, after becoming a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club - an honour passed on to her by the Queen.

The All England Croquet Club was founded in July 1868 and the Duchess took over the role of patron in 2016 from the Queen, who had held the role for 64 years.

The present colours of dark green and purple were introduced in 1909 as the club's previous colours, blue, yellow, red and green, were too similar to those of the Royal Marines.

The ribbon is worn by mostly female members while males often wear a purple an green tie.
