from the rest of the world, but that wasn't fetters first time meeting the dubs. >> the whole team in shanghai, they were doing the asian tour. >> would you like a little fan boy, then? >> no. i just only went to see them in the locker room. this is the first time i had seen them really play. big sports men overall, i love basketball. you know, michael jordan, shaquille o'neal, all of that was big for me. so, i always loved going to see basketball games. >> okay, good stuff. open floor. >> how much restraint do you have to have, when you go to these matches, to not want to -- but give me a racket, man! >> well, my knee has not been perfect. you can just sit off to the sidelines and enjoy the show and be a tennis fan. i don't have that feeling a whole lot, i only play a little bit now with my children, as my wife, and friends from time to time but i

really haven't gone out to practice to improve my game. >> who out there -- give me two players where you would dig in your wallet, pull out the plastic and sita pay to play? >> you have to see them play. especially before i retire, that is like a bucket list, in my opinion. for the new guys, i will go with alcaraz at the center. i think those are the last four guys on the tour, and of course, many others, as well. i think the focus is on those four, the young guys doing extremely well. they are pushing the old guys out, which is a little sad, but that is what you have to get a ticket quick, to see those guys. >> there is going to be my kids, their kids when they come up, they may take up the game. and they go, roger federer? i heard he was pretty good. >> once upon a time, way back when. >> what would you want folks, historians to say about you? >> well, that i was good for the game, that i was fun to

watch. i still was one of the one-handed players, you know, in the first time in history, we don't have a one-handed back end a player in the top 10. so, this is a bit of a dying breed, unfortunately. probably all of the one hand this will be remembered as playing very elegant and classy because it looks a little bit different than the doubleheader. and i think i hopefully made the game more popular globally. i think we got some good stuff added to the game. now, i will be supporting it from the sidelines, but i will always remember the good times spent. >> rocket would be proud, right? >> he would be, yes. he is one of our great legends of the game that played in the '70s and it has been amazing like so many others. it was a way to remember the greats of the past, they have paved the way for us. so, that was the idea behind the labor cup, is to make sure to remember the people that came before us. >> we

another one in the books. but we're just getting started. everything going well? oh yeah. let's take a look at this knee. because it's the work behind the scenes, that truly matters.

brings us more rain with every day added to the seven day period >> if there's time at the end of the important of the story, i do need to talk about the two other storms that are in the long range coming our way. the second half of next week could be busy. we have our hands full with the one from today, we watched from a beautiful time-lapse perspective as the rain made it down to the city around 6:00. watch the heavier bands of rain moving and then just totally messed up the lens. i want to give you a little bit of background on the forecast. we are in the red. we are in the red, the reason why we went into the first alert status is because of this . it is a national map put out by the storm prediction center, which is all the way in oklahoma, in the middle of the country and the rest's ability is to highlight parts of the country that have the risk for convective or even oftentimes serious weather. we told him ever make map but tomorrow we are on it, for the very lowest very concerned, only talking about thunderstorms casting

more serious than this. but we made the map tomorrow, we don't get here often, a 20% chance of isolated thunderstorms, if you want to see this happening right now, look at the other side of the state. it is a big complex of intense thunderstorms that have marched up the cr and what is interesting, we come up for a closer look those thunderstorms are holding together at elevation in the mountains, so right now, we are seeing thunder snow. you can see heavy snow coming down. we do not often hear thunder, or get lightning in the middle of some of the snow events in the mountains but occasionally you do, the storms have a lot of energy with it, that is a really good example of it. we have a chance to see some of it, let's go in order, we will take this from right now, we have watched some of the more impressive rain move across and from now until midnight, we

are still in it, and in by midnight, we will come to a close with the first phase of the widespread steady rain, so let's skip ahead look at the time frame. this is tomorrow, by the time we get into the sunrise, we will see a few showers return. but they will take up in intensity as we go through the day. watch what happens, that is more impressive stuff. that is what comes through in the afternoon on saturday and perhaps the evening. and sunday we do it again. watch another complex here, late tomorrow night, probably about this time, and then we going to sunday, and we keep the scattered showers going. we are not done until sunday afternoon. where the watch the last of the showers clear. that didn't happen until sunday at 2:00. in terms of the next two days, there will be bricks of blue sky, there will be more time when you're not getting rained on, then when you are. a 20% chance of thunderstorms is communicating that any part of the bay has a 20% chance of seeing a thunderstorm over it. so you're part of the bay,

you have a 20% chance tomorrow. at some point through the day, to see an occasional thunderstorm, that is what that is trying to tell you. rainfall totals from now through the end of sunday, we have already got a half an inch of rain up there. which gives us an inch from the system. and just to give you a view ahead. we are looking ahead towards next week after this one. that is wednesday, there's another one perhaps coming on friday. there's a lot to keep an eye on for the second half of next week. it is pretty far down the road. so we are not going to get too specific on that, but since that is the long-range forecast model, quite frankly, it has done a very good job , like, 7 to 10 days out, like all winter long, it is worth it to start looking at. just to give you a heads up, here's the focus, monday and tuesday no rain, we get a break here, and the first of the next series of systems comes in on wednesday. and maybe there's another one behind it for friday. i will talk more about the snow in the next visit, that is pretty impactful, but for now, back to you.

snow amounts or wind, or anything in particular but what it is doing is taking all of the parameters that the storm has, and putting them on a scale, for the next three days, i-80 and highway 50, both fall within the range of major. so they are giving you the idea that it is hazardous driving and there might even need to be road closures and when we look at the totals, there is two feet of snow coming to the higher elevations. it's going to catch a lot of people off guard. people will think we are going full into spring with good reason the way the weather has been. but winter in a significant way over the next two days is going to be a factor for anybody trying to travel into the mountains. i will be back with the rest of the forecast coming up for now, back to you. the san francisco public utilities commission is trying to make for low income residents, offering $1000 coupon towards the purchase of an electric bike, amanda perry

binders, they will repurpose it and bind pieces of the flag into books. the weather is already causing problems. let's get a check on the first alert forecast with meteorologist darren peck. >> remember the 70 degree days, like yesterday? even today, the south bay got up to 70 degrees before the cold front came in. and this is a cold front. as important the rain is to look at. i just want to show you what the cold front is going to do to daytime highs. let's take a look at the bay as a hole. we will look at the virtual map and we will put the daytime eyes on here. not only are we doing the 70s, but this is basically all low 60s tomorrow. this is what a cold front will do for you, in general about 10 degrees cooler. whatever part of the bay you are in. southbay, and really going to 62 tomorrow, and there should be some relatively weak northerly breezes tomorrow, not necessarily wind but enough

that it will add a little bit of a chill to the air, and it will feel different mothering is the better factor as we were talking about earlier, the cold front tonight is kind of phase one, that is still going to delivering to the southbay for now, until about midnight and by midnight it will come to an end and we will get a break and, there will be a window of an activity for little bit here, but watch what happens tomorrow morning, showers are going to come back and around sunrise, on-again off-again, spotty but then they will pick up in intensity throughout the day. and in the afternoon and evening, they will become more numerous, you might go the whole day without getting rain on your part of the bay. but there's always a chance for this 20% chance of an isolated thunderstorm and an on-again off-again shower. it will become more widespread in the evening on saturday and that will just kind of linger into the first half of sunday. watch what happens, not until sunday at about 2:00 in the afternoon. then we will be done with the system, hopefully if we have time i will show you the next

two coming our way after this one. here's how much rain we still have to go, we will pick up about in total for all three days, from today through sunday, about an inch in general, maybe three quarters of an inch of rain. for most of us, so we can handle that in three days, we are not concerned about flooding. we would get some brief downpours that can cause some runway issues, if you get one of those thunderstorms. in the meantime, on the other side, what is happening on this area is a big story. there is a good old-fashioned winter storm warning in place, the national weather service issued just to raise the awareness level on the concern for travel, it will be difficult all the way through sunday. there might be some partial closures up here, you are definitely going to need some chains. that will cover this storm. monday and tuesday we will get a break. look at next wednesday, that is one storm, now, just for fun,

we will play this forward and go out a week from today and we will look at next friday. that is the next storm. at this point, we are going too far down the road and the forecast models to say that is that is the way that this is going to go. this particular forecast model, the european forecast model has done an exceptional job, all winter long with the long-range stuff. it is pretty bullish on next week, particularly the second half of next week, starting on wednesday to friday. you want to see the rainfall totals, just a potential from wednesday to friday, that would be another widespread really good rainmaker for us. should it come to pass, this is not an exact or explicit forecast. this is a heads up , this is just so you know what the potential could be for the second half of next week , according to one of the better long-range forecast models which none are perfect. but this one has a good track record this winter. how many caveats can i put on that. look at this to come, this does not

include the storm we looked at. this is strictly looking at that next wednesday and friday storm cycle. look at the second half of next week, it is looking interesting. we will keep you updated on it. if it continues to look like that, we will continue to pull out the details i keep telling you about it. and we will make sure that you stay aware of anything that comes up. we already but first alert status here, that is because of the chance for isolated thunderstorms. monday and tuesday with a clear picture, no rent. regardless of those storms, monday and tuesday we will get a break. wednesday gets interesting and thursday the day in between those two storms, we will put showers on it just to be safe because the timing will adjust with these two separate systems. much more on these guys, once we get through with this one. all right, back to you. beer lovers around the world are lining up for a favorite, the special celebration for this year's release.
