Day 5, Part 1 Wimbledon

MUSIC A winner over Andy back in 2008. One

of the worst defeats of his career. A fiery start here.

Beautiful. Even by his standards, that was something special. Steady

as she goes. Six games in a row from Murray. He's giving this guy some

serious body blows. Painful. A tour deforce for Andy Murray. Welcome to

day five of Wimbledon, where Andy Murray is safely into the third

round of the men's singles. He has looked in impressive form so far.

That can't be said for the other star names. Gone are the days when

the seeds make it safely through to the second week. Just yesterday, 18

seeds went out. The highest ranked world number two Garbine Mugarutha.

Dan Evans lost in the qualifying here last year. He's now inside the

top 100. He's won his first match here at Wimbledon. He's won two, in

fact. Today he faces Roger Federer. His compatriot Stanislas Wawrinka is

on Court No 1 later today. No, Centre Court today. He's first up on

Centre Court. He's not worried about the weather. Nick Kyrgios will, he's

on court number two. He came through a fascinating match against Radek

Stepanek. Now he takes on Dustin Brown. Venus Williams was out on

court 18 and many felt that wasn't fair for a five-time champion. But

today she will open up on Court No 1. Britain's Tara Moore is the last

British woman standing. She's got a tough match today up against a

two-time Grand Slam winner Svetlana Kuznetsova.

Veens first up against a very exciting 19-year-old. -- Venus.

Other matches we'll be keeping an eye on, I mentioned Nick Kyrgios. We

remember Dustin Brown when he beat Rafael Nadal last year. That is a

must-see match for us. So, hello once again. We have

retreated into the studio because you could probably see behind me, we

haven't got play under way. It was supposed to get under way at 11am.

We have plenty to talk about in the company of John Lloyd and Jaky

Baker. It's all about the weather, isn't it, and the committee have

made the decision on Centre Court, they have not closed the roof. That

hopes that there is good weather on the way. They've got the radar

working and hopefully we'll have dry weather. We're heading off to court

number two. Play was due to get under way at 11am. No play at the

moment. Let's find out when we're going to get play and how much from

the person with all the answers, Carol.

Sue, at the moment the cloud is building, there's some rain not far

away from Wimbledon. There are showers as well. I reckon it won't

be until about 1pm, 2pm that we start to see things brightening up.

That doesn't mean that we're looking at a completely dry afternoon. There

is still the risk of showers. Like yesterday, it just is a risk. But we

should start to see sunshine coming through, even into the evening. It's

a small risk of a shower. Having said that, there will be a lot of

dry weather around. Blustery though today. If you're in that combination

of the showers and the blustery wind, it does feel rather cool.

Tomorrow, once again, the greatest risk of showers is around the lunch

time period. Through the rest of the afternoon, the risk diminishes.

We'll see a bit more sunshine develop. Still quite blustery too.

Although it looks pretty gloomy at the moment, it is an improving

picture as we go through this afternoon.

That certainly is good news, that it's going to be improving and

hopefully we will get some play. So many great matches to look forward

to. While we await play on the first Friday of the championships. Let's

look back to yesterday and Andy Murray. He was on Centre Court

against Yen-Hsun Lu. He dropped his opening service game, then he took

control of the match and raced through it in straight sets. Murray

in impressive form on Centre Court, against someone we thought could be

a tricky opponent. He beat Roddick a few years ago. But 6-3, 6-2, 6-1.

After the match he spoke to Andrew Cotter.

Business-like, impressive performance. I suppose at this stage

it's about getting things done and moving on without expending too much

energy. Yeah, if possible. I want to obviously try and play as best as

you can, you know. My opponent today, he'd won 11 matches in a row

on the match, ten at the challenger level. I expected him to play well.

He started off the match really good. I had to make a few changes

and adjustments out there. Ended up finishing the match strong and

without using too much energy. A good day. You mentioned his record,

three, two and one against an opponent of that calibre, how far

off your best are you? I think I finished the match really well. At

the start I was tentative at the beginning, but as the match went on,

I started to hit the ball better and better. Was feeling a bit more

comfortable with my movement. Yeah, I just need to keep building on

that. Yeah, it was a good match for sure. Contrast that to the first two

rounds at Roland Garros, five setters, that can pay dividends

later in the tournament. Yeah, it can do, for sure. I've never been in

the position I was in at Roland Garros before. I've never played

back-to-back five setters in the first couple of rounds. It takes a

bit out of you physically and mentally as well, the long days,

those ones as well. Yeah, if you can get through matches, obviously, the

quicker the better. Don't need to be particularly smart to work that out.

How has your time between matches changed? Your life's changed, used

to be go home and watch a few DVDs, now you have paternal

responsibilities. Mind you it's quite late, but what do you do

between matches? On the off days, obviously, I have a lot more time on

my hands, spend a lot more time at home with the family, which is nice.

It's good to take your mind off the tennis and I find that very

relaxing. You'll find it's stressful. That's nice. On the match

days it's different because a rived here at the courts today at 9. 30am.

I won't be home until 9pm at night. Today's a work day, and tomorrow, I

get a little bit more time off. Talking about what he does, I was

reading about what happens after the match. It's the shower, then the ice

bath, then maybe a warm down on the bike. Then he does his media

commitments, then a massage. It's a two, three-hour routine before he

can even head home. Yeah, and it's such a finely-tuned routine now.

He's so used to these big matches. He was kind of laughing at the

question there, because he's saying on a match day he's no help to

anyone other than himself. You're right, so many things to go through.

Over the years, he's been so focussed on his recovery and routine

and taking care of everything he can control so that when he steps on

court, he knows that he's absolutely ready. And also, when he steps on

court, he was talking about, "I just made a few adjustments." He's a

great reader of the game. He didn't know a lot of Yen-Hsun Lu. Reads the

game and makes the adjustments. He's a great tactition. He is. I like the

fact on the women's circuit, other than the grand slams, they allow

coaching on the court. I'm totally against that. Andy just said, he had

to make the adjustments. You don't want a coach coming off after a set

and telling you what you're doing wrong. You've got to figure it out.

That's why this sport is so great. It's one on one, if you're playing

badly, find a way to do something to beat your opponent. Andy's a master

of that. He has six or seven game plans. That's what the great players

have. He was in impressive form yesterday. He raised the level of

his game after dropping the opening serve. That's often a characteristic

of his matches. He plays his way in. Sometimes you see Roger Federer come

out, especially on grass, and there'll be winners flying off his

racquet from the start, very aggressive. Andy likes to feel his

way into the match. You don't often see him win a match, one, one and

one. This was three, two and one. This was a drubbing from Andy's

point of view. But he worked everything out within the first 35,

40 minutes, then it was one-way traffic from there. Just illustrated

there, he talked about his movement. It's so hard to get the ball away

from him. It is. And what he does is - Look at this! It's ridiculous. He

shrinks the court. After a while players think well, they have to hit

closer and closer to the line to have a chance to get past him. There

he is. Instinctively he moves. He knows where the ball's going, he

reads it. Where did that drop shot come from? No-one else would hardly

have had the imagination to go for that let alone make it happen.

That's why he's so special. And also, the variety of shots. When

you're so used to, as an opponent, when you're used to Andy shaping up

for a slice backhand, normally that goes deep. If you throw in a drop

shot, suddenly the opponent have no idea what you're going to do. It's

funny looked at the full stretch, chasing balls and Andy often comes

up with a winner. Had eoffal has a lot of practice in matches. But at

the end of the practice session he has 10, 20 of those so he knows when

it comes in a match he's done it all before. He's got his practice out of

the way early today. This is Andy out on court and the team, we keep

talking about Ivan Lendl. Let's not underestimate Jamie Delgado in his

corner. He's done a seamless job. Andy's 29 now, for any new people to

come into the camp, it's really about how do they settle in. They

don't want to come in and change anything. He's doing so well. He's

obviously won two Grand Slam titles. He's very relaxed just now. Coming

into the grass, having had his best ever clay court season, he must be

feeling great. I bumped into his a few times in the morning and at

Wimbledon he drives himself into the courts. That's basically his quiet

time. Nobody comes in the car H edrives himself. When he arrives,

he's ready for business. Going through the motions, he's going to

attack. Practising the volleys here. That's his motivation here, his goal

to keep being aggressive and keep going forward throughout the

tournament. Absolutely. What I like about him, I like the second serve

has been a big improvement, technically and the pace he hits

now, I love the way now he takes on the ball on the service returns as

well, moving in closer. If you get a second serve, if you don't hit it

close to the line, he's all over you. Then you're done. Little

adjustments that he's made and he can keep doing that. He sees the

ball so early. He's so technically proficient. He can make the

adjustments when he needs to. Tomorrow he's back on court, what do

we know about John Millman. I've played him a few times, a few years

ago. He's a standard, modern-day player, baseline. He won't do

anything particularly differently to the other players. He doesn't have a

huge amount of variety. This is where these types of matches

fascinating for Ivan Lendl in the camp. They have to focus on every

single round. Andy knows now if he goes on the court against these

guys, if he plays six, seven out of ten, he's going to win. I'm

intrigued as to how much the conversation between those guys

early in the tournament is - how do we get close to Djokovic? How do we

bridge that gap and win that match? He's obviously taking every match

seriously, but the big goal, and I think on this surface, this is the

best surface for him to face Djokovic. I agree. I think the

environment here is also the best as Jamie was saying, talking about his

home life. I think he's more relaxed here. He knows grass so well. His

movement is fantastic. I think he gets a lot of free points on his

serve here. I think this is his best chance to beat Novak Djokovic in any

of the grand slams. Let's do it one match at a time, it's John Millman.

I'm glad I asked that question since you've played him so many times.

We're heading outside because they are preparing the courts. This is

really good news. The nets are up. The ball boys and girls are out.

Things are looking promising, that we will get some play very soon.

That is great news here at Wimbledon. Everyone scurrying to

their seats. Though that dark sky behind doesn't look too encouraging!

Everyone scurrying there and trying to get down to court two to see Nick

Kyrgios and Dustin Brown. That's where we will go to see live play.

Let's look back to Dan Evans and his amazing Wimbledon journey. Won his

first match and then he faced Alexandr Dolgopolov yesterday. He

came through that one, beating the 30th seed. He's through to the first

round to face Roger Federer. After his victory yesterday, he spoke to

John Inverdale. COMMENTATOR: Well, this is a fine

start. Oh, what a way to win it! Absolutely electric start from Dan

Evans. A truly convincing victory by the British player. He goes through

to round three, where the Centre Court awaits him and on the other

side Roger Federer. This is a fantastic opportunity for

you, isn't it? Yeah, it's a tough opportunity, but you know, stranger

things have happened. What an end to the day here at Wimbledon. The

defending champion is out. There is a chance I can go out there and win.

Obviously, I understand on the other hand, I could, he could come out

flying and give me a good seeing to. It's going to be tough. I'm really

looking forward to it. I can't wait to get out there. People talk about

this in the context of you about opportunities taken and then missed

and squandered. Do you now feel, finally, that you're on the upward

curve and this is just the next stage this afternoon? Yeah, you

know, I'd like to think now that when I get the opportunities I give

it my best chance and to fulfilling it. Whereas before I didn't give

those opportunities the chance and give myself the best chance. Now I

think I am doing that and hopefully give everything I've got. I'll be

out there fighting. Can you pin point any particular area of your

game now that is much more solid, more reliable, much more dynamic, if

you like, that's making the difference? I think I'm serving a

lot better now, definitely second serves a lot better. I've been

working hard on my movement and fitness. I've been moving much

better than I used to. I'm looking forward to hopefully putting it on

the court. What does a match like this mean for the people around you,

the coaching team, family, things like that, it must be a massive

boost for them? It is. But we're all going to come to Wimbledon and have

a day out on me, it's not that. It's a serious game of tennis. I've got

to take that opportunity which I've been given. Rightly so, I come

through the first and second rounds. I've got to prepare properly like I

would for any other match and get myself mentally ready for it's going

to be a big stage. Can you treat it like any other match? It is another

match, obviously it's against probably the greatest player that's

ever played tennis. I have to put that to the back of my head until

the end of the match. It's difficult, but I'll have to do that.

It is third on Centre Court. By his own admission he hasn't always been

dedicated to the sport. He has gone up and down. This time last year, he

lost in qualifying, ranked 763. Now in the top 100. It's that journey to

commit yourself, to travel round all the Challengers, to all the places

in the world, full marks to him. Yeah and there's been a lot of talk

about his roller coaster ride. This year alone, he's been to three

Challenger finals and won one of them. He decided not to play the

clay this year to put in a training block and get ready for grass. So

many impressive things in his performance against Dolgopolov the

other day. The biggest thing for me, as a British player as Wimbledon,

quite often you see people almost kind of play in their shell and

maybe just, it's very hard to express your self-as a player. For

him, he was so free and relaxed. The way he played it was a joy to watch.

Everyone will be questioning oh, did Dolgopolov go away? Did his will

kind of fade? It wasn't that. Dan simply outplayed him, a guy 30 in

the world and has been top 20. Having never won a match at

Wimbledon, to come here and win two matches, they're two impressive

winds. Very much. So He's had the talent for so many years. We all

thought at first, top 50 possibly. His work ethic has not been great,

at times, to put it mildly. The talent there, the variety he's got,

it separates him from a lot of players. He's willing to come to the

net. He's one of the best technical volleyers in the world. His movement

is better now. A lovely slice backhand. That was a bit short

there, but his variety is so much better now. He's now at 100%

commitment. Whatever he does in his career, if he can get to the end of

his career and say he's done, that he can be proud of himself. Because

before he wasn't anywhere near 1 hundred per commitment for the vast

majority of his career. Now he's stepping up to the plate and getting

his rewards. Will he gets as -- get as many chances today against

Federer as in these two matches? No, obviously today is a completely ask.

The one thing I will say and on the grass court, he has got the variety

that is absolutely perfect for a grass court. He can change the pace.

He can hit a lot of slice. When he gets the opportunity to actually

attack, he does that. And he does have the hands and he has the court

positional sense to come into the net. Perhaps the biggest thing today

from Dan's point of view is that his attitude, I know the way he is and

his personality, he won't be overawed by the situation. He

doesn't come out and think, oh, I'm playing Federer, I have to be

respectful and play a nice match. He's had wins in Davis Cups that he

had no right to win, frankly. I think it's going to be a match

today. That stands out. He's a gritty competitor. Yeah, and I agree

with Jamie. I think he'll embrace the occasion. I think he has that

mind set. Whatever happens in this match, the crowd will be treated.

Because Federer obviously, the talent he's got, but Dan Evans,

people will be surprised how talented he is. There will be great

points that happen in this match no matter what happens. I'm looking

forward to. It I think he will do better than people think. Where will

he hurt Federer or where is he going to win his points? By being agracive

and -- aggressive and with variety. In the Dolgopolov match, he was

running around the second serve and hitting a big forehand early in the

point. He has a really good slice. I know Federer has perhaps one of the

best slices ever. But Dan has the game on the grass court where if

Federer is spraying a few errors and is a bit off, I have a feeling that

Dan, there's a different feel about him. He's very focussed. He's not

looking around on the court as much. He mentioned in his interview,

physically he's invested. He's moving really well on the court. I'm

making it sound as if he has a chance to beat Federer! You've

convinced me. I wouldn't be amazed if it ended up being a close match.

There are question marks about Federer. People wondering, is the

injury still there? He had to miss the French Open. He lost in the

semifinals. He doesn't look as if he's moving as well as f in past

year. If you're going to play Roger Federer, this is the best chance

you've got. He hasn't the wins he normally has. He hasn't had the

match play. When you look at Roger Federer over his career has

basically been injury-free. He's always had perfect preparation for

the plans. He hasn't had that block that he normally plays this year. If

you're going to beat Roger Federer, which is a big "if", this is the

time to do it. It's gay opportunity for Dan -- it's a good opportunity

for Dan Evans. That is the third match on Centre Court. The last

woman in the main draw is Tara Moore. She came through and today

she takes on Svetlana Kuznetsova, a two-time Grand Slam winner. Let's

hear from Tara. COMMENTATOR: It's long! And Tara

Moore screams with delight. Now that you've had a chance for things to

sink in since your first win at a Grand Slam, your first win at

Wimbledon, how satisfied are you with that? Enormously satisfied.

It's always great to win at a Grand Slam. I do think that being a home

Grand Slam makes it that much better. The end game is definitely

not just winning one round at a Grand Slam. My end game is to make

the second week and eventually, hopefully, win one. That's every

tennis player's dream. If you ask any little girl or boy in tennis

that's what they want to do. One of the things you've spoken about is

the bigger picture. People find it a bit dangerous to specify targets.

Are you that type of person? I think targets are very important to have.

I think that they're something that you can work towards and you have a

goal at the end of the day. I think that's very important. For me, I

just want to go out there and play the best tennis I possibly can.

Whether I'm ranked top 100, top 50, who knows. I can't, I won't be able

to guess or speculate or anything like that. I enjoy tennis. That's

ultimately what I want to keep doing. Quite an exciting

second-round match against Svetlana Kuznetsova. What do you think of her

game? What do you think of her reputation? Obviously, she's a great

tennis player. She's definitely had great results. She's playing well. I

watched her play a bit yesterday. You know it's going to be tough out

there for sure. Whichever opponent you play and especially someone that

experienced, it's going to be tough. I'm just going to go out there and

hopefully have the element of surprise. She doesn't really know me

that well. Yeah, hopefully I can go out there and give it a good run. In

the bigger picture, where does playing against a player of her

stature on one of the show courts at Wimbledon fit in for you? That's

what everyone works towards. Playing on a show court is everyone's dream.

It's definitely been one of mine. It's going to be really good fun

It's going to be reallygood fun good fun ( We hope she really does

enjoy it. Play is getting under way. We will head out there live when

play starts. It's a great story. We talk about gritty competitors, she's

another. Yeah, she is. Her game style suits the grass quite well.

She can hit a slice backhand, which takes well on the surface. She has a

big forehand when she goes for. It I saw her play in Nottingham in the

pre-Wimbledon tournaments. She did well at Eastbourne. She's won a lot

of matches on the grass. She's playing against a Grand Slam

champion, it's a very tough match. If she has got a chance, it's going

to be a grass court. We wish her well. She is playing later on this

afternoon out on court number three. Jamie, thank you for the moment.

Don't go anywhere. We hear that there might be rain around here at

Wimbledon. But the good news is that play is looking to get under way on

Court No 1. It's an eagerly awaited match here, the entertaining and

sometimes controversial Nick Kyrgios against the flamboyant Dustin Brown,

who famously knocked out Rafael Nadal last year. They're also good

friends. # See the way he walks down the

street # Watch the way he shuffles his

feet... COMMENTATOR: Oh, you're kidding me!

That's impossible. Have a look at that. Inspiration.

# Just because he doesn't do what everybody else does

# That's no reason why I can't give him all my love

UMPIRE: Game, set, match. COMMENTATOR: Another dream comes

true on Centre Court. Next up Nick Kyrgios, describe him

in three words. Talented, crazy and nice. To me, as a friend, he's a

really nice guy. Never had any issues with you or anything. It's

going to be a good match, hopefully, for people to watch. I'm looking

forward to it. He just waits for this time of the year. He's a good

friend of mine as well. When you're playing against a guy like Dustin,

you know it's not a day that he can't feel it, he just enjoys it. We

all know what he can do and is capable of. He's a great player as

well and is exciting. I'm ready to have fun out there. Two great

entertainers on the court, a great crowd pleaser. Hopefully we can show

good tennis. Both of us want to win. I'm sure the crowd will have fun.

That's why we couldn't go anywhere else at 11. 11.30am. We're heading

out to court number two. The bad news is, I hear there is rain

around. The nets are am cog down elsewhere and -- are coming down

elsewhere and indeed on court number two as well. The umbrellas are up. I

hope they enjoyed the warm up. Hugely disappointing for everyone

involved here, so looking forward to that match. They came on court and

now they are off and we have to sit and wait. This is so frustrating for

the players, isn't it? Yeah, it was just getting a lot brighter. But we

were expecting these showers. And also the crowd especially for this

match, they'd probably got in there getting ready. This sort of weather

will affect the tennis as well. Not only is it wet and the court surface

is going to be greasy and slippery, it's cold and it's not, it's not the

best weather to play great tennis in. Wednesday night everybody was on

court for about an hour, it was not very summer-like. It's cold. The

surface is greasy. It affects tactics of the players. Especially

on the grass, when it's so quick, if you get in the first hit, it's hard

to recover. Dustin Brown is a great story. He beat Rafael Nadal. His

ranking wasn't high enough to get into Wimbledon, the committee

rewarded him for what he did last year by giving him a wildcard. It's

nice that happens. And having beaten Nadal on Centre Court you can't deny

he deserves another chance and having won his first-round match.

This match with Kyrgios will be so entertaining. In today's day and

age, when everybody is so professional and you don't get the

characters like the McEnroes and Connors, to see Kyrgios and Brown,

it's so rare these days. The crowd love.

It Kyrgios and number one. You watching

play, and with the weaponry he has and massive forehand, the serve, you

can do 20 aces the blink of an eye. To have that before you start, it

puts so much pressure on opponents, especially grass. With someone of

his style, with his crazy and relaxation, he is so can't stop max

picked them as one of the six who could win it, because he has that

big game. Jamie, thank you. Sadly, we have not been able to bring you

any live tennis but we will bring you some tennis from yesterday, and

it took place on Centre Court, it was Britain's Jo Konta against the

champion, and we can join it at the start of the third set.

Of course, to other bits of intrigue, Konta playing in her home

country. These two had never played before

because Konta was ranked at a high enough level. I have a feeling

Eugenie would not have known her, they were living in different

worlds. First 44 Eugenie, just decelerated

there. These double faults became an issue when she was closing out her

first-round match. Nicely constructed point, good

footwork from Bouchard, get enough room on that background and very

deliberate volley. Slight missed opportunity, a second

serve. Just got underneath the ball too much, need a bit more cover.

It stuck. Konta building pressure in this opening game of the final set.

Can Eugenie hang on? Beautiful the way Bouchard attacked

that forehand. Didn't make this a mistake there, inside the baseline,

hit back ball on the rise. She was robbing Konta of time.

Not able to get that early break. And Bouchard winning that game.

This time in the evening, a bit of moisture in the green section of the

court. The baseline starting to rip up now and the court playing far

harder than it was a couple of days ago. I think it is the way the

players like it. The first couple of days, very greasy and I'm sure the

players didn't feel like they had enough traction, on the edge of

slipping. We have had the odd drop of rain here.

At one double faults until this game, now two already.

That is a magnificent forehand, stayed down, what an angle. The

forehand has improved, and particular he is sharp angle. --

particularly. Fabulous! To get the break in this

deciding set. Bouchard was withstanding some punishing blows,

great events to hang in the point. I think that ball was going long. I

think onto missed out, four or five shots back when she didn't take that

high ball out of the air. It is turning out to be small margins in

this contest. APPLAUSE

Bouchard not giving Konta an angle, Konta says she will go right at her.

Stunning! That is resilient, after getting her serve broken.

Had three chances to break Bouchard in the opening game of this final

set, three more. GROANS FROM CROWD

two missed returns, Konta has to get this in play, to keep the pressure

on. On this surface, more than any

other, you have to have happy feet, because you might get the odd bounce

at the last second you need to adjust. Bouchard doing a great job,

winning seven from ten. And this is the resilience from here

that we did not see last year, she'll looked miserable on the

tennis court, as if she will never anywhere but hitting a tennis ball.

It is hard to watch at times. Bouchard is back.

UMPIRE: Correction, ball is good. UMPIRE: Treble is calling. That is

confidence for you. The Canadian number one is flying

now, and springs into a 3-0 lead. There is her younger brother,

William, and with her when she made the final. Her mum, Julie, and she

has another sister, Charlotte, and a twin sister, Beatrix, they look

similar but have different personalities. Eugenie is the goal

orientated one. A slight obsession with the British Royal family, when

it comes to naming her family. Eugenie calls her mum a closeted

royalist. I did not know such a thing existed. I think she is out of

the closet now. He looks like he's going to jump

over that wall, he is so excited at the level Eugenie is playing at

today. Having seen Eugenie playlist

competent in a while, that second serve, 98 mph, and Bouchard seeing

it and attacking. Ten two make an Konta play the not taken those

opportunities if you're on in those games -- Bouchard making Konta.

Did not do enough with that volley. Just to the left of her coach there,

World Cup captain for Canada. Both men looking very happy with Eugenie

now, and so they should become it is another break point.

Konta is starting, excuse me, Bouchard is reading that serve on

the second serve of Konta. Jo Konta has two mix it up.

GROANS FROM CROWD that is a rather deflated Centre Court crowd and now,

apart from that little area, as Bouchard at break. Her knee hit the

ground there. What has been happening over the last ten minutes?

Bouchard has raised the level of her game, she has played in more big

matches. Maybe that little lack of experience on the big stage for

Konta is showing up, just marginally. It doesn't take much in

a high-quality match like this to turn it.

UMPIRE: Correction. I haven't seen too many Centre Court matches with

so many overrules from the chair. The umpire has another one right.

Gold stars for the woman from Norway.

UMPIRE: I didn't stop it, you stop that.

Her call came when I hit it. Jo is saying the lines person called it

long, and that was the first indication of any call coming.

She has to put it behind her, but there's a fair chance Konta had a

point there in terms of the odd call interfering with her shot. That is

history now, she has to reset and fire up.

This is a level of tennis were Bouchard back the 20 14th, the

weight she is heading with so much power, moving well, looking strong

again. She was fragile last year. Oh, that is outstanding from

Bouchard! She is reading the ball so well. She is only 22, she is still a

young person, but this might be a better version than the one we saw

two years ago. A couple of points here to take a 5-0 lead.

Very few blemishes on her report card this evening.

And Bouchard has stunned this Centre Court where they quite early and

display of this final set -- with a quite brilliant display full stop

she has come full circle from the height of a couple of years ago, but

this is a young woman who had a dream, she saw Sharapova win the

title here when she was just nine years old, and got the feeling she

is a determined young woman, like her idol, I decided, OK, I want to

be on the big stages, I want to be on Centre Court. And that 20 years

of age, she made her first Grand Slam final right here at Wimbledon,

and that takes some dedication to discipline and some real talent. She

talks about how she felt all the pressure and expectations, if you

win a match, it is normal, if you lose it was a disaster. How

difficult that was for her, and now she says she feels it is 2013 again,

where she's playing matches without being expected again. I just wonder

if she does get back into the top ten, which most people feel she

will, how she will hand a letter, I think she will handle it better. And

hopefully with this man always by her side, a great coach. Started

working with him when she was 12, a long relationship. Serving to stay

in the match now. Got to give Bouchard credit, losing

that second set 6-1 and coming out into the third set and elevating her

game even more. Always having to deal with the

pro-Konta crowd. They've been very respectful. I'm sure she understands

it's not against her. It's just wanting Konta to play well.

That's the way to finish the point off at the net, swing volley.

They've been playing at quite a pace. And Konta says, OK, Jeanie,

you serve it out. Sometimes those mis-hits are the

best shots. Well, unfortunately, maybe just too

many loose forehands this evening. UMPIRE: Miss Konta challenging the

call on the right baseline. The ball's called out.

It is long. UMPIRE: Game, set, match. It's a

brilliant Eugenie Bouchard who goes through to the third round putting

out the British number one. There is no doubt that she's back.

STUDIO: Absolutely, huge disappointment for Johanna Konta.

She made a few errors on the forehand. But she wasn't allowed to

play well, put under immense pressure. Bouchard showed power,

strength and belief. Looks to be back to her best. She will be one to

watch at these championships. She has proved she can succeed on the

big stage. Her next opponent is Dominika Cubulkova. These are the

scenes at Wimbledon. The rain is still falling. The covers are still

on the court. So no immediate prospect of play. Therefore, no

chance of seeing Nick Kyrgios and Dustin Brown right now. The roof is

closed on Centre Court, which means we will get play when they start at

1pm with Stanislas Wawrinka and Juan Martin Del Potro. That's the match

we're looking forward to in 25 minutes. We will bring you more

tennis right now. We've got, we're going to look back to another

fabulous match, taking place on court number 2 yesterday. Agnieszka

Radwanska against 18-year-old Croatian.

Our commentators are Liz Smiley and Dan Lob.

UMPIRE: Miss Konjuh is challenging the call. The ball was called in.

Call stands. That's good hitting. She has to stay

loose and that is so difficult in these situations. She must be

nervous. She must keep playing the way she wants to play too, going

after each ball. I'm sure her heart rate has risen

several beats as well. As far as Agnieszka Radwanska is

concerned, there's a lot of tennis to play in this match.

But that's not say there will be. Two points away from the biggest win

of her career. Penny for your thoughts. This is a

huge point. ( She's controlled it beautifully.

Motored up to that, was there with plenty of time to spare. All she had

to do was find the gap. Now all she has to do is win this point and

she's through. Just not quite at the ball. Just

needed one more step. She saw the opening. Wasn't quite committed to

the forehand. Again, sluggish on the forehand.

That's just nerves. The feet just aren't moving. Racquet feels like

it's a kilogram heavier. She's virtually on her knees playing

some of these shots, Agnieszka Radwanska. Virtually on her knees as

far as the score line is concerned, but she's still in it. She's saved a

match point. But in 90 seconds, Anna Konjuh will come out and serve for

the match. And she'll need some first serves, just to take the

pressure off herself a bit. She's played herself into a winning

position. Let's remind ourselves that in the first set, there were 20

unforced errors almost. Radwanska hit one and then she has just

gradually got better at selecting the correct shot and moving and all

those things. Give us an insight into how this feels now. Well, you

know the nerves are there. People say the hardest thing now, the

toughest game to win is the last one. You have to embrace the process

though. You can't think about the end result. You have to embrace the

process of OK, first serve. Then next shot, then the next. Not even a

point. If you get the process right, the result will take care of itself.

On the brink of what would be a huge upset on court number two.

She's off to a good start. Oh, she's done it! I feared that

drop shot wasn't going to be good enough. The shot that came after it,

certainly was. Two points needed.

Radwanska is fighting for her tennis life. A finalist here at Wimbledon

in 2012. She's been as high as number two in the world. She's

seeded number three here. How can she pull this one out of the bag?

Oh, no. There's a let off. You would have put your house on Radwanska

making that return. She didn't. Konjuh has two match

points. Just a little bit too anxious to

finish the point too quickly. Desperate for a first serve here,

Konjuh. Oh, no, it's just dropped on her

side of the net! Can you believe it? That almost went over. You have to

say that would have been a cruel, cruel way to send Radwanska out of

the tournament, but look how close this was to going over. It just

peaked its nose over and said, no. Radwanska showing her experience

there, knowing that she is just hanging by a finger nail here.

Piling the pressure onto Konjuh. Take your time, perhaps. She doesn't

want to rush this. If you haven't played tennis, it's

impossible to tell you just how these situations make you feel and

how they can affect your play. She went to come in, Konjuh. She hit

the big shot up the line, made the movement forward and then just got

caught. Ended up having to retreat, the ball dropped and then just

completely thrown off her rhythm. The opportunity temporarily to win

this match has vanish. Will it come back? Almost two hours into this

one, Radwanska has saved match points. How deep can she dig now to

get another chance? The difficult part is for Konjuh

now. She has to forget that she's had the lead in the third. She's had

the match points. She has to focus on what we have now.

For people sitting at home will say, hit the forehabd now at -- forehand

now at 0-15, why not at match point? In a word - pressure.

Good point. Once again Radwanska hanging tough. Finding her way to

the net saying, you know what, I'm here, pass me. That's smart, isn't

it? Pressure situation, it's windy, hard to make passing shots.

She's learning so much and will learn so much from this experience,

but will it be a winning one? That's too good. Hit that forehand

right into the corner. You wouldn't have called this at the

beginning of the game perhaps. It's all electronic. Can't argue

with electronics. No. Oh, well played Konjuh! I'm sure a

lot of the fans around this court number two thought her opportunity

might have been and gone. But once again, she will come out and serve

for the match. She was good enough to make that forehand pass, after

Radwanska had really put the pressure on, coming forward and

she'll take it however she can get it at this stage. She's showing so

much character. She must have been devastated, OK, she was literally

millimetres away from winning this match. With the let court. And to

come back and play a game like she did there, fantastic strength. She's

had all these opportunities. There's the forehand. It's not her favourite

shot, up the line. Good players manage to hit the shot they know

they need to play, even if it's not necessarily their most favourite or

their most comfortable. She knew that one had to go up the line. She

was equal to the task. She looks calm. She looks like she's got a

steely determination about her, showing all the right signs. You

never know, that body language can make a difference. Last time she

served for it, she got to 30-0. There were good first serves in

there. Then the game got tight. She certainly needs to get a good start

to this game. Take some pressure off, if that's possible.

It's that forehand that shows more signs of weakness under pressure.

Oh, this is a tight way to start this game. A forehand error and then

I think this is going to be a double fault.

By the thinnest of margins. Look at that. I don't think there's a person

in here... That thought that ball was in. Yeah.

Yeah the movement has stopped once again from Konjuh, the feet, when

she gets tight, when she gets nervous, you can see it. Just get to

the ball, she doesn't get into position. She's playing the

Radwanska that we know and love that's just not making any errors.

Apart from that one. That was a forced error. A good first serve,

107mph. Still has two more break points.

STUDIO: Nerves playing their parts. Missed opportunities from the

youngster. Would she get another one? We move it on a couple of

games. Radwanska serving at 7-7. COMMENTATOR: That was there to be

hit. Asking the questions, though. I'm not going to lose it. You're

going to have to win it. Big forehand followed up with a big

backhand. That's the kind of damage this young lady can do.

Oh, no, no, no. She has twisted her ankle badly there. There's no doubt

about it. And this is just sickening. She's already in tears. I

guarantee, she is in an awful lot of pain. I'm so sorry to say, but she

has definitely twisted her ankle really badly.

I've seen someone else step on a ball here, a few years ago, in the

warm up. She actually couldn't continue. That doesn't look too

good, does it? Oh, the poor young lady.

STUDIO: It was a nasty fall. She had the trainer on. She had it heavily

strapped. It hampered her movement. Radwanska moved her opponent around

the court, which is what you'd expect her to do. It was only a

matter of time before match point came the number three seed's way.

It was a brave effort from the youngster. She had her chances, some

missed opportunities, but it is Radwanska that goes through to the

third round, but Konjuh certainly won a lot of fans. What a

disappointing way to end, in tears, out on court number two. And coming

so close to causing such a big upset here at Wimbledon. She's shown that

she loves playing on this surface and we'll no doubt see her back at

Wimbledon winning many matches in the future.

Agnieszka Radwanska advances, the former finalist, through after a

real scare on court two. A big cheer for a brave effort.

And it was heartbreaking, Lindsay Davenport is with me, just seeing

those poor shots, you don't want a match to end like that. It was

heart-wrenching, and it was tough for her to be playing of the three

match points, which would have been the biggest win of her career, and

not to be able to finish it, and then the manner of how she sprained

her ankle. It is almost impossible for that to happen, a ball that you

are chasing, it was horrible. It will take a little while to get

healthy and get over that situation. But this is why people have been

talking about her for a few years, she has got a great game, hopefully

she will have another chance. But she did get tight, didn't she? It is

very tough to always get your first big win, and in some cases you

almost feel like it is better to get a lesser scalp first, a player

ranked seventh or 12th, and all of a sudden you are at Wimbledon on this

stage against one of the favourites to win, and she froze. At that

moment, you could see all those forehands going in, then hitting the

bottom of the net, and she didn't look very confident. Her feet

stopped moving on the big occasions as well, that is something she has

got to work through, learn to handle a bit better next time. And she will

improve on that. Eugenie Bouchard really looks to be right back to her

best, the way she beat Konta on Centre Court was, well, she could be

for the title. Absolutely, she was playing more tennis like 2014

Bouchard, last year she has talked about, she wants to forget all the

stew that came into play, and try to move past it. -- all the issues. A

huge step in the right direction to get her coach back on her team, who

she split with at the end of 2014, her most successful season. He makes

her work, very disciplined in his approach to coaching, and it has

paid off. The level she has played as has been very, very good so far.

We have seen it a lot as far as players are concerned, players that

have come and done something really marvellous to get through to finals,

then it is like the pressure gets to them and their form dips. It is very

interesting, almost a theme of this generation - they play so well, you

can see the obvious talent. I could Petra Kvitova in there as well, she

has two Wimbledons, but so many results that make you scratch your

head. They are so good, they work so hard, but they are almost OK with

early round losses, and we are talking six or seven or eight

tournaments where they are not getting past the first or second

round. Bouchard had a lot of things going on off the court, other stuff

getting in her way. I am glad to see she is in the right direction. I was

hoping that Muguruza would make a strong run and back to French Open

result. We lost 18 seeds yesterday in the men's and women's, we wonder

what quarterfinals we are going to have, because it is a very different

tournament. It has been so different, and in women's tennis,

for a lot of these Grand Slams, you have the projected round of 16, the

projected quarterfinals, and it is not happening any more. For so long,

women's tennis was predictable, the top players would get through, and

that has not been the case for the last two years, you always a

surprise names. There is going to be openings here as well. We are hoping

there will be play on the outside courts very soon, but the good news

is that the roof is closed and the players for the opening match are

making their way onto the hallowed turf, Juan Martin del Potro, along

with Stan Wawrinka. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

What a joy it is to have this roof so we can bring you some live

tennis, and what a joy to see the former US Open champion Juan Martin

del Potro back in a Grand Slam of the three wrist surgeries, but he is

up against a two time grand slam winner, Stan Wawrinka, who now has

Richard Krajicek in his corner. He has only reached the quarterfinals,

that it is best at Wimbledon. Before we join the match, we can you from

Stan, he has been talking to Lee McKenzie about the inspiration he

draws from a quote from Samuel Beckett. It is how I see live,

especially tennis. Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail

again. Fail better. Normally, if you look every year, almost every player

loses every week, but you need to take some positives from that and

accepted, and see what was good and what was bad and tried to learn from

that, to do it better. But I am number five in the world, and I'm

still losing a lot. So that means it is not only negative when you lose.

Richard Krajicek has come in to help you, what has he been working on

specifically with you? Yeah, it was good, really happy with him. He

knows how to play on grass, he has a lot of experience, about his game

also, his game was very aggressive, amazing, great serve, and there was

a few little things that I think it has been good for my game, not only

for the grass now, but also for the rest of the year. So let's see what

is going to happen now. It is the forehands that wins it, a very

enjoyable match of tennis. Stan got the job done in the end, class came

through. Last year, I started to feel really good on the grass, I

know I can play my best game. Lastly I lost against Gasquet, who played

better than me over five sets. So now I really feel confident, when I

am playing, on grass I know I can play my best tennis.

No reason why he shouldn't play well on grass, is there? Absolutely, such

a good game, heavy forehands, backgrounds, service, it is about

being comfortable and buying into your game on grass. The back and is

a thing of beauty, isn't it? It is amazing, it won in the French Open,

and the ability of the slice an grass, and he has the best

one-handed drive, he has to get that transition game. If he is able to

come to the net more, get more comfortable with that, which Richard

Krajicek is no doubt working on, it could be a big factor. So many play

from the baseline, it is the split step, how to move, read where the

bodies are going. So much the anticipation, following the path

they are travelling, it is really figuring out where to go once you

are at the net, and that is something that a serve and volley

like Krajicek could be invaluable with. It will be interesting to see

how Del Potro does, I remember the semifinal against Novak Djokovic, a

five set thriller back in 2013, former US Open champion, it would

be... We just don't know where he is as far as is tennis, how much

strength that has in the wrist, the left wrist. He has been chipping

most of the backhands on the grass, and you can get away with that more

on the grass than the other surfaces. How many forehands can Del

Potro get through today? How often can stand get to that corner? As far

as having an injury, it is having the belief that you have the

strength, I know you are saying he's chipping a lot more, but there are

still doubts. Wonder whether the matchplay you have, being much tide

has gone away, because he has missed nine Grand Slams. -- match tight.

Does he have the confidence on the biggest points to rip his two

hander? When you take away one of his best weapons, it is obviously

very hard to beat the top players. You see guys like... I don't see

Roger or even Stan leading a player get away with such a weakness, and

that backhand, and fortunately for Del Potro, it is still a weakness.

He won the US Open back in 2009, and you felt there was going to be more

to follow, such a shame. It is so amazing to see him back, but there

is a little sadness. One surgery on the things were going so well, then

I have never heard it, then the left wrist goes, three surgeries on that

wrist. He has been fighting to get back on tour for moments like this,

so it is a great opportunity, great to see him back, but it would be

even better if he was able to play closer to the level he was a few

years ago. We will see, we are ready for this, thank you very much. We

will be keeping up to date with the weather has eyed and seeing whether

the matches get going on the outside courts, but let's sit back and enjoy

this live tennis in the company of John McEnroe and Mark Petchey.

MARK PETCHEY: We are fortunate to be here to witness these champions face

off in the second round, as is their crowd. There you see the meetings

between the two. It has been more than four years

since they have played each other, we cannot read too much into that.

What we can read into is just how Juan Martin del Potro has suffered

over the years with the left wrist injury and how much of an effect

that will be today. He is up against a man that is the ball so evenly off

both sides in Stan Wawrinka, bad side will be targeted by the Swiss

star. JOHN MCENROE: It was targeted even before that, his forehand is

one of the best shots in the sport, Wawrinka's backhand is unbelievably

beautiful, and he has developed a bigger forehand. I will tell you,

the players in the locker room are excited about witnessing this and

seeing what these two have to offer on Centre Court. Very rarely now,

Mark, because of the 32 seeds, do you get to see a quality match, the

level you are going to see right here and now. This is a tall order

for Wawrinka, given who he is playing, Juan Martin at six foot

six. So much upside for both guys, really, this is as big a

second-round match as you will see in a slam, no question. Not entirely

sure, we're looking behind the umpire's chair at what Stan is

complaining about. APPLAUSE

Not entirely sure right now. He is under the roof, these other guys are

stressing in the locker room, trying to be read out on the court, so this

is beautiful ball both of these guys, knowing they will walk out on

this court. UMPIRE: First set, Stan Wawrinka to

serve. Ready? Play. That is what you want, to get Del

Potro on the run. If he has got time, you are in big trouble.

Great start from Wawrinka. It actually surprises me, watching Juan

Martin in his first game, he looked like he was expecting more balls to

the forehand. Well, come on now! He is going to zero in on that, test

him, see if he is able to do much with the two hands. If he is slicing

it, Wawrinka is going to have a field day. Backhand winners, none so

far from Del Potro in the previous round, but very good percentage of

first serve points won. He will need to deliver that effectively.

Just a couple of tournaments played last year for Del Potro, because of

that wrist injury. Keep in mind that the last major he

played was two and a half years ago. This poor guy has just been bumming

down in Argentina big-time. He is excited, but he is tied too, it has

been a while. Way too long. -- tight.

The Argentinian has played just one match against him since 2013,

against Berdych in Indian Wells last year.

Be as got the weapons to stay close with anyone and beat anyone if he

gets back to where he was. -- he has got.

You'll wrist hurts, doesn't mean you can't train with the legs, so it is

going to be interesting to see how long he can last.

Oh, yeah. That is good movement by Juan Martin, unfortunately he could

not do enough with it. He does not get enough on that

backhand, sitting up a little invitingly for Stan.

The bright side is he has had plenty of time to practice. He should be

better than he has ever been. He is going to need to be if he wants to

stay close, if that is the only shot he is going to hit.

That is 2-1, Wawrinka. He worked with Magnus Norman in 2013, he has

finished every year inside the top ten since then, but one of the big

differences, John, when we look at the way Stan has improved is is

serve. If we look at the accuracy of it, and the placement, we can see

that before Norman, in terms of the way he was serving, you can see it

is two foot from the line, the green box. When he got hold of Stan

Wawrinka, look at the numbers, in terms of the closeness to the line

that he has managed to achieve with the Swiss star.

I think what Stan did in the past was try to go too big too often, and

because of that, the percentage would drop and accuracy. Even though

he still packs a wallop, he is able to take a little off it at times and

understand that he can set himself up better. He is so good off the

ground. He doesn't need to blow it by his opponent every time. Richard

Krajicek just to the right of your picture. Keep in mind, you mentioned

the rankings, he was never in the top 15 until Norman showed up.

Eight, four and four in the last few years, hopefully he will get some

big bonuses! Sensational there. That is one of

the greatest shots I have seen, one-handed. Del Potro, if he is

going to run around the back and see what happens, the court is wide

open, very inviting for Stan there. That is a good sign, that he

actually took it with two hands to hit it with some authority. He has

to do that if he is ever going to be back in the top eight of the game,

top ten even. He has not unleashed a forehand yet,

a pretty good indication that he is wound up here. Wawrinka trying to

get the edge, get the break here, take advantage of it.

First time he has been broken in the tournament, good defence of a big

serve from Wawrinka. We should not really be surprised

that he is off to the better start, he has been amongst the game and's

elite for a number of years now, Wawrinka.

For me, he has just got it in that backhand, not a whole lot on it,

he's just going to eat them up and if he gets balls like that,

Wawrinka. It is amazing to think that,

beginning in 2014, this man has won more major titles than Roger and

Andy combine. It's true! You do not realise that he has the same amount

of majors as Murray, two each. He has also got Olympic gold - not in

singles, but in doubles. Davis Cup. Tied up there, so looking at a hall

of Fame career. He is taking a trip to Newport at some stage, isn't he?

It took about a dozen years to climb a little bit out of the shadows of

Federer, his fellow Swiss countryman, but he has done it, and

that is pretty impressive. Yet to drop a point when he makes

his first serve, and he's making a lot of them as well - 75% from

Wawrinka. John, we have been talking a little

bit about the backhand, if we take a look at the numbers, there is that

two hand, guiding it. If we look at where he was back in 2013, of

course, when he played that memorable semi, four hours and 43

minutes... He... We will properly have to look

at those numbers in a moment. Time! Seats quickly, please, thank

you. No gremlins so far for Wawrinka in

this particular contest, off and running just as his coaches would

have liked. It is getting more expensive out there, John. There is

a lot more upside! These guys collect year in, year out, they have

got a whole team of people. Wawrinka clearly the quicker of the

two players out there. He doesn't do a whole lot of volleying. Once they

come on his terms, he is not going to surprise you a whole lot, as he

tried to do there. That is a pretty good touch, though,

I will tell you! Set up by that return that was just

blistering, he was able to cover it with the shot he wanted to.

OK, the wake-up call has just arrived. Maybe too late for this

set, but that is the type of shot we saw the last time he was on this

cold. -- this court. Del Potro comes away with a game, of

course it was 2008 when this man made his first major impression on

the world of tennis, that 23-match winning streak that came to an end

at the US Open at the hands of Andy Murray, but it included four titles,

Stuttgart, Kitzbuhel, Los Angeles and Washington.

Stan does not need to hit the ball quite as hard there, Del Potro's

movement is not his forte. Lovely pick-up because it was some

forehand from Del Potro, again on the run. It was a great forehand, it

takes a while for him to stop that body, not even close to getting back

in that point. A tough shot that Wawrinka had to handle there.

The fastest serve of the day, into the body of Del Potro.

Plenty of purpose about that particular forehand, an injection of

pace, just drag it a little wide but the timing seems to be coming for

Del Potro off that wing. The timing has been impeccable for Wawrinka on

his serve so far. The second ace. And a 5-2 lead. I wondered often

with Del Potro as we take a look at this two hander that has been such a

nightmare for him... These are the kind of numbers that will come up in

terms of him riding the ball. -- guiding. He has lost a bit of string

on one side. You can see that he only sliced 23% of the time but this

year already he is at 65% and the speed has gone down dramatically and

also because of that, if we flip it on, he has become slightly

predictable off a wing that was, for much of his career, a huge weapon.

You can almost go and camp if you are Wawrinka crosscourt. This is

obviously an issue he is aware of and we don't know how much it is

physical or psychological. I want him up in the Open in 2007, he

played some up and comer, Djokovic, it didn't work out! But he really

went through the motions when he warmed up and for me he has been a

notoriously slow starter. He sort of lumbers around, he has to get that

big body moving more quickly. I think it has cost him here. The

other guys are in the gym and doing all types of warm-ups and you don't

see him do that as much. That can be corrected.

Stan often blocks or chips especially his first serve. To me,

the Potter, just the occasional move forward just to get in Stan's head a

little bit would help them -- Del Potro.

He is actually a pretty good volleyer, he has pretty solid hands.

Dani Vallverdu in the middle of your picture in the black tracksuit top

who is looking after Del Potro for Wimbledon.

They will discuss if they continue past S W 90 or not. He was telling

me the other day, that he is not feeling any pain in his wrist --

SW19. So if it psychological or physical? I have seen him quite a

bit in the last few weeks and I keep asking, how is it? It's getting

there. I don't know if that means it hurts or not.

APPLAUSE Wawrinka did not commit one way or

the other, good balance. Del Potro is tough to read. When I used to go

to Japan, I would say, listen, can I ask a favour and they would go hi

and it turns out that means yes, no and maybe in Japanese!

APPLAUSE That is well played. The fans

appreciating seeing something besides people bludgeoning the ball.

Excellent skill from these two. UMPIRE: Mr Wawrinka is challenging

the call. The ball was called out. If it isn't it is his fastest serve

of the tournament. Not often that you see Wawrinka go

that big of a second serve so he has got a little edgy trying to finish

off this first set. ENCOURAGEMENT FROM CROWD

I don't know if Stan challenged that but apparently not, this could be

huge for Del Potro to sneak back into this set.

He hit that line and it changed the flight of the ball that little bit

which caused him to miss. He has had a little slip which is a

shame because he did incredibly well to get back into the point. I hope

it's nothing serious. I think he's OK, he just slipped. It is easy to

sit here and say it but he had a chance with that forehand and he

just has too let it fly. This is good serving from Wawrinka.

That is what he is thinking right about now, why didn't I just blast

on that one? The bread and butter was there for him. He has been a

little tentative in this set. What a smart serve that was. It had

everything, placement, balance, width, and it gives him the opening

set as well. This is the serve he loves to hit

and you had better not be surprised if you are Del Potro Ulster PE is

zeroing in on his weakness, he prefers the kick anyway -- if you

are Del Potro. He is zeroing in. I am sad and in some ways because I

have always liked Juan Martin and I'm pulling for him as pretty much

every player in the locker room is. Nobody deserves the fate he has had

for these last three or four years. He wins the US Open. He beat Nadal

two, two, two in the semis. I have an additional soft spot because his

birthday is the same as one of my sons, and Bruce Springsteen! You see

him hit that backhand and you are like, oh man, there is just nothing

on it. And if you are not equal of both wings at the top of the game,

the top players are just too good. We saw the amount of times Stan went

to the backhand and the one chance he had on the forehand he had to

take it. That puts even more pressure on it. You have just got to

let it go, start hitting that. You hope and pray that that happens. He

will be 28 years of age come the 23rd of September. Arguably four

years of his career had been ruined because of this. He deserves to get

that second, third chance. But he will have to work for this one.

APPLAUSE Guided beautifully down the line.

There is that chip return and it was a pretty good approach. He couldn't

cover the line. Who is going to take responsibility

for that one? Richard or Magnus? As a coach, that is when you say, there

is only so much I can do. When they get on the court it is up to them.

This court negate the height advantage in some ways for Del

Potro, the ball will not kick up as high. It should help Stan.

A good start to the second for Del Potro. Just what he needed. Stan's

record here at Wimbledon is part of the reason why he had Richard

Krajicek involved, he has only actually had a couple of wins

against Tom 50 ranked players here over his career. That was Goffin

last year and Feliciano Lopez in 2014 -- top 50. He is searching for

some answers to unlock the secret of success on the green grass.

I saw him play Federer a couple of years ago in the quarters and he was

out him, a set and a break up, he was felled by some sort of stomach

injury or illness or something. Back in 2009, he played and the

under the roof here as well, just his third match, he has had three

matches out here on Centre Court, Wawrinka, this is his fourth.

There was that tremendous five setter. Yes. This is where it is

hard to know what to do when you play Wawrinka, he can hit so big off

both wings. And big down the line as well, not too many players can do

that. Kept that ball low, it is a lot

tougher to pull that shot off. I hope we see Del Potro lean into some

two handers. Clearly Wawrinka's camp have advised

him to move forward when they see that sliced coming. Don't run

through the volley. -- that slice. Del Potro is competing hard here.

One might overriding memories of that loss to Murray in 2008, having

gone as deep as he did in that tournament, it was seeing him in the

press conference breaking down in tears at the disappointment of

losing that match. He wasn't happy just to have been there. Even though

he seems lackadaisical at times when he walks around the court, you

understand that there is a big inferno within the Argentinian. It

has been eating away at his soul for years, just to get back on this

court. He did not play at the French, he was relatively healthy

most of this year, to get ready for this tournament. I have been

fortunate enough to accommodate on a couple of the best matches I have

seen, that Olympic match against Federer was awesome, 19-17 in the

third. Novak, that match in the semis, that memorable almost five

hour match. It doesn't get any better than that. It took him three

years to get back on this court coming into this tournament.

You think about Federer playing 65 straight majors before finally

missing the French. How amazing that is. You think of guys like Del

Potro, what they have been through. What Novak has been doing... I mean,

otherworldly. Quite an easy recipe for Wawrinka,

get in the point, work it to the backhand and you get a ball to

attack. It seems like Del Potro at times guides that serve a little

bit. He has got away with one there, Del

Potro. That is an example to me, Wawrinka at 15-30 come short

forehand, you have got to make Del Potro hit a two-handed passing shot

there, it's a no-brainer. The forehand is usually a lethal

weapon but not today so far. Again, I guess the pressure he feels to

make a first serve so he doesn't have to make a second and whenever

he does get a forehand, he feels he has to make it happen.

Credit to him, he is plugging away with his first serves, about 75% in

so far. And he lands another one. Followed swiftly by a beautifully

angled one out wide. Credit to Del Potro.

He has been a little light on wins this year, semifinal in Delray where

he lost to Sam Querrey and in Stuttgart he lost to Philipp

Kohlschreiber but this is all about Little tentative steps back into the

big-time for the Argentinian. Holds serve under pressure like that will

encourage him. Wearing that will feel with that mid-court forehand

that it was one that got away from him -- Wawrinka will feel. He has

got the protected ranking of seven, he gets some intro was -- some

entries but those are starting to run out a bit so the stress level

goes up. The belief is questionable and you have to deal with the

nerves. He is hanging onto his serve

effectively here in the second set although he was under pressure in

that last game. It gives him a bit of a platform to try to attack the

Wawrinka serve. He has had a couple of chances but has been unable to

take them so far. But you are never quite sure with Wawrinka. He can at

times blow a little hot and cold. SUE BARKER: We are leaving this

match on BBC Two and it continues now on BBC One. But we are going to

take you over to Court Number One which is the only match outside that

is being played, the covers are on all the other outside courts but

Venus Williams and Daria Kasatkina are playing. We can join our

commentators, Lindsay Davenport and Chris Bradnam.

CHRIS BRADNAM: And a very strange circumstance can it rained all

through the wallop, drizzled during the first game and it is still

drizzling now -- warm up. This LINDSAY DAVENPORT: And Venus is not

thrilled to be playing. She does not know that the covers are on all of

the other outside courts. It seems strange that Wimbledon would be

having these two playing outdoors and nobody else.

Superb. She is striking the ball beautifully. She really is. Early on

in this match and we had one instance in the first game where

Venus came to the net, didn't want to split step and push and that

might force her to go bigger earlier which is her most successful play on

grass. Early initiative against the only

teenager left in the women's draw, Daria Kasatkina, the number three

from Russia, first and seeded at a Grand Slam at number 29. Just her

fourth Grand Slam main draw. She has not failed yet to reach the third

round. This is the third round, she is looking for a first time in the

fourth round. Great attitude. She is feisty and she beat Venus the only

time they have played in Auckland earlier on this year.

The challenge for Kasatkina in this match is to try to handle the pace

of Venus Williams's shots, the serve and ground strokes. It is harder to

control your ground strokes on grass against venous than on all the other

surfaces -- Venus Williams. And also the serve, flat and also with a bit

of slice and pace. As you said, she was broken five times yesterday. She

had huge problems with her first serve ball toss which we often see.

She served eight double faults and was given two time warnings which,

to be honest, was wrong. She just ran to the racket bag to get a

different racket and got a time violation. I guess she handled it

better than Victor Troicki! I think the look said everything that he

said! The rain has started to come down

again, pretty heavy right now. It is such a challenge for the players

when they have it in their mind that the grass could be slick. It is

tough to serve when the rain is coming down. These players have my

full respect for handling this situation incredibly well so far.

Greatly concerned at the start, Venus, she is probably quite happy

to continue now at 3-0. And Venus said after the match yesterday, I'm

now playing with a sense of infinity. 2020 is the plan! That is

amazing. She is the oldest here at 36. When she first started playing

at Wimbledon, Kasatkina wasn't even born! It is her 19th Wimbledon, a

record. The only time she has missed was three years ago with a back

injury. Five times a champion. You faced her twice in the finals. Venus

has always been at her best here at Wimbledon, on the grass. There is

something about playing here, it takes the guesswork out of her game.

She focuses beautifully on the first two or three shots of every rally

and that is her strength and there is no hesitation for her to move

forward to the net. She puts so much pressure on her opponent, she

smothers them with her game, moving forward with short balls. That long

wingspan at the net. Again, you have officials caught

side, talking on the walkie-talkies. It has been raining since they have

walked out, but they are still playing. Let's hope there is no

accident. We saw a horrible one yesterday with Radwanska. That was a

ball accident. This one is whether. -- this one is the weather.

How important is this game for Kasatkina? She has to calm her

nerves for her first time on a main court at Wimbledon against one of

the best grass court players. She has started off a bit nervy.

Kasatkina's... There are a handful of second round matches that have

not been played. All of those winners will be playing

to make day straight cut at and they have to come back tomorrow. If

you're going to be playing in the rain, I am not sure why it is a

third-round match. Just 19, but she looks like she

belongs. It is pouring now. This is unbelievable. Here comes the

grounds crew. It is pouring! Yes, the chair umpire is calling them to

the sides. I hope both these players realise that they have been the only

players who have been subjected to play in this steady drizzle for the

last half-hour. That doesn't seem fair or right. Absolutely. The

covers will come back on. Thankfully, neither of them has

taken a tumble. They both agreed to play, albeit reluctantly.

So, off they go. The frustration continues. Of course, the more the

rain comes, there are showers forecast in the next few hours, and

maybe tomorrow, there is more of a chance that maybe Sunday comes into

play as an extra day. That would be amazing. Was the last time 97? Yes.

I remember I played my second round match on the Sunday. But a good

start for Venus. As you said, the biggest thing is that there were no

injuries out here. Again, a steady mist for those first four games.

Venus Williams, 3-1 up after 30 minutes. SUE BARKER: A frustrating

day of showers continues here, but as Chris was saying, thankfully, no

injuries. A lot of the players have been voicing concerns in press

conferences about being asked to play on these wet courts and in the

rain. John Isner is amongst them. I think that will be an ongoing theme

today. The showers will continue to come through, as Carol said. So, we

just have to remain hopeful. I know how she feels most of it is that

sort of day when you are just waiting for play to get underway. --

I know how she feels. It is that sort of day. Play continues on

Centre Court, and you can see this match on BBC One. Juan Martin del

Potro has broken Stan Wawrinka in the second set. That matches under

the roof on Centre Court. All we can do is just sit and wait and hope

that these dark clouds move across and we can get some play very soon

indeed. A wonderful schedule on the outside courts as they are still

playing catch up. Some second round matches still having to be played.

So, we will hope for some live tennis very soon, but let's look

back to Marcus Willis. What a story he was, winning seven matches on the

way to hear. He was ranked at 772 and faced Roger Federer yesterday

got it was an enchanting story that kept us enthralled for the first

three days, but it did not have the fairy tale ending as he was beaten

by Roger Federer. He spoke a lot about his experience, but first,

let's see match point. Yellow might he was a lovable rogue and not as

professional as he could have been. I looked in the mirror and thought

it doesn't get better than this. Absolute madness.

# Shoes off if you love Willis #. . Play the game, Willy. Roger versus

Marcus. David versus Goliath. Very good from Federer.

Here we go. That's too bad. I hope the best for him, and I hope he can

raise his level, jump in the rankings. It was a pleasure to play

against them. It sounds funny, but at this point, Toulouse, I can hold

my head up and I have had a fantastic few weeks. I want more

experiences like this. -- at this point, to lose. How do you feel,

looking back on the experience of yesterday? I have seen some clips.

Amazing. I am quite proud of myself, actually. It was a wonderful match.

What was the best moment for you? At the start, there were lots of 30-30

scores. I was quite unlucky to lose 6-0, given the number of games I was

in. The whole match was good. I play good tennis. I can play better, but

for my first, for that occasion, I am quite happy with the way it went.

We will take you through some of the match, but first of all, the walk

out. What would you feeling here? I didn't know. I heard the cheering.

It was just amazing. I didn't realise I would get a reception like

that. Your face after this, when you realised, you can stop laughing. I

know, it is so surreal. Everyone has been brilliant. Did Roger offer to

let you go first did he hang back? He hung back. I was waiting for him,

going, after you. He was just... He made the whole experience amazing.

You met him before the match, introduced yourself. Bill my

girlfriend wanted to meet him. I was like, go for it. In the restaurant?

Yes, upstairs. So you just went up? I introduced myself. He has never

met me before. I just went and introduced myself. It was a nice

moment. And what about the match? You pulled off some amazing shots,

so many dumb and you give your family and fans, you're very loyal

fans who queued for two days, so much to cheer about. I tried to play

my best tennis. I am not flashy, but I like my drop volleys, my lobs. We

picked out a few things for you to enjoy. You love that drop volley. I

played badminton and touch tennis before I play tennis, so the hand

skills come naturally. Is your mum a badminton coach? She played for the

county and gave it up when she was younger. I have never beaten her.

You can take her on now! You won seven matches. We were getting

concerned in the commentary box after half an hour, and it was 5-0,

6-0. And there are easier players to play against. What is he like to

play against? He is so, so accurate. It looks like the ball will drop

wide and it gets. Some of them were unplayable. And the backhand? He

keeps it at a good depth. Even at 6-0, I felt I was in some of the

games. You were. We picked out a few things for you to enjoy, because we

don't know how much you remember of the match. When you are out there,

the ball goes by in a blur. You recovered well here. And then

you just owned him on this. Wherewith that rate in terms of the

best punch up late? Yellow might yes, that is probably one of my

first. The ball wasn't getting high enough up in the air. No, it wasn't.

I wanted to get serving. In the warm up, you struggled to serve, didn't

you? Yes, I did. My body has been hurting. I am stiff this morning.

Adrenaline got me through yesterday. In the previous match, I was

hurting. But when you get a crowd like this, you work through it. It

didn't affect me. You really got better and better as the match was

going. Did you enjoy the Centre Court experience? It was amazing. I

was just trying to win points. He made it difficult. After points like

this, I was pumped up from playing good tennis. Do you want another go

was mac I was getting into the match as the scoreline was getting closer.

The rallies were getting longer. He's just better than me, just a

very good player. That is why he won. What does he say to you at the

end? Keep going, fantastic, stick at it. He said some really nice things.

I really appreciated it. You got a bit emotional, it all came out. Yes.

The eighth match for you in this tournament and all the headlines.

When did the world turned upside down? I qualified, nothing much came

out there. In the first round I'd be a really good player. It has been

manic since the match the other day. A few more followers on Twitter.

Anyone famous? Miranda Hart and Roger Federer. Roger Federer said

thanks for the match. Energy on Centre Court was electric. It is all

about support as well. We have seen you with your girlfriend. Your

friends and family were there, and we just put this together. You will

probably get emotional watching this, because they were living every

point with you as well. There is your mum. How proud she? They are

all buzzing, my family and friends. They have been there the whole time.

I am glad I could do this for them. They all seemed to have the same

attitude, going out and enjoying the moment. This is such a wonderful

story for sport about... After everything you have put them

through, Marcus! This was a great moment. To see their son play on

Centre Court is great. Your girlfriend is the best thing that

has ever happened. Jennifer, you are the best thing that ever happened to

me. I am playing it cool. This has whetted the appetite. Andrew has

just been feeling your bicep. He is stiff coming in here. I helped him

into the seat and I got my hand stuck. It got stuck between the

forearm and the bicep. You have been training. You can feel it, it is

unbelievable. What do you want to take from this going forward? I will

be dropped on planet Earth after this and I will keep training the

way I had been training. I have a lot to improve on. I have been

playing well but I need to get 10% quicker and stronger. This was

really exciting. Do you know where your ranking will be? It is not as

high as I would like. It is a great start. I am still 1 million miles

away from where I want to be. What has Matt Smith, your coach, done for

you that everyone else has not? You have made a pledge to him, an

unwritten contract. How has he been able to do what others haven't? You

what trouble as a teenager, in our way. I was. I trained for nine years

at Bisham Abbey. I didn't work hard enough, and when push came to shove,

I didn't want it enough. He is terrifying. I have a lot of respect

for him. When he shouts at you, you listen. He was a very good player

himself. He had double wrist surgery and quickly young. But he was a

fantastic player, trained in Spain. I can't tell you how tough it is on

the body, and I have to pretend that I am not tired, plus my opponent. It

is brutal. Friday morning, getting up, I couldn't walk. It is worth it

now, but I didn't think it would be. It has proved to you that the hard

work will pay off. More importantly, have you picked up your prize money?

I did. How did that feel? Different to the F1 in Tunisia this year. I

can't spend it too quickly. Did you go out with mates last night? Yellow

might know. After all the media, I got to bed at 1:30am, up at 8am this

morning. I am shattered. I will have a pint or two at some point, but not

yet. We wish you well. It has been great going along the journey with

you. Thank you very much. He has been the story of certainly the

first three days of the championship. That is a nice site to

welcome to Wimbledon. As you can see, the covers are still on the

courts. If that is heading our way, that is great news that we will

finally get some play on the outside courts. It was due to start at 11am

and it is now gone quarter past two and we have only had about two

minutes of play on the outside courts. A little more play on Court

Number One. The story there is, although they are keeping the covers

on elsewhere, they are coming off. Coverage of the play under the roof

on Centre Court is on BBC One. Juan Martin del Potro is serving to level

the match at 1-1. He is serving against two-time Grand Slam winner

Stan Wawrinka. You can watch that live over on BBC One. We are getting

hopeful here on BBC Two that we will get some live tennis. Although the

covers are on outside, they are off on Court Number One, and this is

Venus Williams taking on Daria Kasatkina. Venus was leading 3-1

when we left off, but hopefully we will have some play for you very

soon in the sunshine at Wimbledon. I have been joined in the studio by

Tracy Austin. Finally, the sun has come out. Hope is there. We are

playing catch up. They have hardly played any doubles. It will be a

physical test the players now. Absolutely, and we need a couple of

good days of sunshine and long-term play. We're not going to get them.

Yes, it is a little worrisome. Listening to Marcus there, we have

enjoyed the story. Has he been much of a story back in the US? I had not

been there. But you do some American television. Absolutely. This is what

sport is about. This is a fairy tale. Given how long it takes to

become a good tennis player, he was a top 15 junior. Hopefully he is

young enough and has a team around him and can maximise his potential.

At the end of the day, he is an athlete and he wants to maximise his

potential. I love the story that one day he is playing Roger Federer,

which almost seemed like an exhibition, and it seemed like Roger

wanted him to win the first game. He was a good foil for Marcus on Centre

Court. And then yesterday he played two matches for Coventry. He's

actually playing for the Warwick boat club, and he was playing with

his partner Gavin Henderson. Here they are arriving at the Warwick

boat club. Gavin looks as though he has only one racket. He looks as

though he has his Wimbledon accreditation on as well. Jenny is

still there. Last night at 930 he was playing a second doubles match

using the lighting from a shopping centre. He is a huge star. He had

better enjoy it now. That is wonderful. There they are. There are

probably about 20 people there. A little different! And the crowd goes

wild! That is the story of markers Willis. He could have won those blue

shoes the day before. One minute, playing Roger Federer, and then at

the Warwick boat club in front of about 30 people. Absolutely

wonderful story. Dan Evans takes on Federated day. We are looking

forward to that, because Dan has done really well. I want to talk

about what has been happening in the women's championship will stop

yesterday, Garbine Muguruza, fresh from winning the French Open,

outplayed by Jana Cepelova. Of course, Jana Cepelova plagues Halep

year and beat her on grass. She has been having up and down results. She

beat Serena at Charleston about three years back. We knew she would

be a dangerous opponent, but at the same time, Muguruza, the way she

played at the French, she was so focused, consistent and powerful,

with big weapons, the serve and the ground strokes. She only played one

grass court match leading up to Wimbledon, came here and you still

expected big things from her because she has had a really phenomenal

year, a life changing year, winning the French Open. She has a big

serve, and the ground strokes got her to the final last year. This is

disturbing, she had 22 unforced errors and did not look like she had

a plan B. She was missing by seven or eight feet, often. She did not

have a plan to get balls back in play and build the points. WTA this

year, there had been so many players in the last few years who have not

been able to handle the pressure once they get the recognition and

more expectations on them, they haven't been able to deal with them.

They keep focusing on the negative. In my opinion, when you win a Grand

Slam, you should be focusing on the fact that you are now part of the a

meet and can play at the top and focus on the glass being half full.

It is interesting to watch the person at number two. Radwanska last

year, curb. Kvitova, I thought she would soon be number one in the

world. You look at the men's game and you have Andy Cole and Novak,

Roger, Rafa when he is fit. They are so consistent and always at the

business end of tournaments. That is what is lacking in the women's game

now. They need to find superstars who will be competing in major

finals, not all this different people coming up and having one good

slam. We have taken a couple of hits, with Sharapova, the two-year

ban. She is appealing but we will have to see what happens. Azarenka,

we are hoping she will come back. That is the last small rivalry

Serena had, she beat her about two or three times about three years

back. The last real rivalry was just been Henin. Just been would handle

the power and believe she could win. If you think of that period, with

Serena, Venus, Lindsey and just been and came, they rarely lost in the

second round. -- and just been and Kim. The fluctuation is tremendous.

The other players that are ranked 50 - 100, when they walk on court, I

think they truly think, I have a chance. Sally, three weeks ago. I

can't explain why it is a different mentality. When you go back to Chris

and Martina, there were no early round losses. And they had an aura,

like the top men do. Who will have the chance to get through to the

final as far as the bottom half of the draw was concerned? It is

depleted. It is. We have had surprises in women's tennis in the

last three four years of people coming through. Simona Halep, a

semifinalist a couple of years ago, that is a possibility. Madison Keys

- Wenbo her chance,? Angelique Kerber, she can play on grass and

has won some grass court titles. Venus Williams went three sets with
