## Transcript

Quick question Roger, you're 36 years old, you seem ageless, are you a witch or a vampire? [ LAUGH ] Wich one is better? Yeah, exactly. I don't like those. Probably a vampire. [ LAUGH ] Now there's a rumor in the men's locker room that you love coming to play down here in Melbourne and your secret to fitness is you only eat wombat meat, is that true? That is untrue. [ LAUGH ] Have you ever tasted wombat meat? I have not, should I? It is delicious! [ LAUGH ] The national food of Australia. [ LAUGH ] Rog I know how much this crowd means to you. They're an amazing crowd. But it does it get annoying when they just scream, come on Roger!

[ LAUGH ] Come on Roger! Over and over again [ BLANK_AUDIO ] They remind me of my name. [ LAUGH ] It's good, at an older age you start forgetting your own name sometimes. It's great. [ APPLAUSE ] Thank you Roger. Wonderful Match. Ladies and gentlemen. Stay classy Melbourne. You give it up for Will Ferrell and Roger Federer. [ APPLAUSE ]
