Mixed Doubles Final Wimbledon

JOHN INVERDALE: The crowd rose to Andy Murray, first Wimbledon, first

major. What a debut. The muscleman from Dunblane. It is

not going to be easy. The support has been incredible, so thank you.

First Grand Slam final for Milos Raonic. He is giving big Milos the

runaround here. You are joking, that is superb!

Deep second serve, and he has taken a giant step towards a second

Wimbledon title here. Wimbledon champion again, a supreme

performance, first-class tournament, Andy Murray.

SUE BARKER: The news here at Wimbledon is that once again Andy

Murray is the Wimbledon champion. He played in almost perfect match

against Milos Raonic, what a journey it has been for the boy from

Dunblane to win his third Grand Slam, his second at Wimbledon. It

was a very emotional Andy Murray after the match point, but let's

hear what he had to say on court. You are hunting that trophy.

Feel-good? Yes, I mean this is an important tournament for me every

year. I had some great moments here and also some tough losses, and the

wins feel extra special because of the tough losses, so I am proud to

have my hands on the trophy again. CHEERING

I said Milos was throwing everything at you, serves over 140 mph, he was

coming in, you had to be at your best. I played some really good

stuff today, but Milos has had some great few weeks on the grass, his

match against Roger Federer, that was a great, great match.

APPLAUSE He is one of the harder workers out

there, he is always trying to improve and get better, and each

time we play against each other, he has made big improvements, and he

also has an extremely nice team as well, Cardross, Ricardo and John now

as well part of his team, physical trainers and physios as well.

Always polite and well mannered, as well.

LAUGHTER It is true, that isn't always the

case, so sorry about today, and great job the last few weeks. I know

that Mac would like to hear that. What about your team? Lendl doesn't

give much away when he is watching. He is just lucky!

LAUGHTER A big thank you to all of my team

for the hard work they have put in helping to get me there, and my

family as well, watching, I love all of you. And just one last question,

it was so emotional back in 2013 after being the first British man to

win in 77 years, do think you can enjoy this one a little more? I will

make sure I do. Last time I was so relieved, I was very nervous today

as well, but just so much stress and pressure, I didn't get the chance to

enjoy it, so I will make sure I enjoy this one tonight for sure. And

what about the crowd and the crowd watching on the Hill? Huge thank you

to everyone who came out to support, amazing.

APPLAUSE CHEERING

An amazing atmosphere, lots of ex-players, legends watching as

well, it is a pleasure to play in front of you, the Prime Minister of

the country as well. BOOING

I think playing in a Wimbledon final is tough, but I certainly wouldn't

like to be the Prime Minister, it is an impossible job.

LAUGHTER Thank you everyone for coming out, I

will see you again next year! The Wimbledon champion, Andy Murray!

APPLAUSE It was a very different sort of

speech on Centre Court after Andy, Tim and Lleyton are still with me.

He had the tag is favourite for the last week and a half. Yes, that

whole scenario of ten Grand Slam finals where he has played Federer

and Djokovic, this was different, playing Milos Raonic. Murray knew

what a great opportunity it was, but he had to go out and deliver, and

when you are playing someone with the firepower of Raonic, it is not

easy, it can be taken out of your hands if he is hitting the spot, but

Murray was clinical in every area. We were following Raonic's aces, he

served 154 coming into this game, and he had only served to macro

going into the second set, and that is credit to Murray. He only made

nine unforced error is, it was an incredible match. To finish. Tim has

mentioned the return of serve, and that was key, we have picked out a

few for us all to admire. He did it right from the start as well.

Raonic's second service game, he was building pressure straightaway. You

can see with his body weight coming forward, compact return swings, but

he set it up with good returns, and then backing it up with the next

shot which was a great passing shot when Raonic would come into the net.

But how do you return serves that are coming over 140 mph? It is

something he is busily worked on an enormous amount over the last NES,

but it is also his technique. When you saw Federer trying to return

Raonic, he was quite close to the baseline, and Raonic was having a

lot of success going into the body, whereas Murray stands probably

further back than anyone else and then takes a step forward to meet

the ball. He has short swings, doesn't try to generate power, he

doesn't need to because it is coming through so quickly, and with a firm

block he is able to get the ball back in play, and Raonic has been

able to, he only lost serve five times in the tournament coming in,

nearly lost his serve once today, but you always felt like Murray was

creating opportunities. And that is what Ivan Lendl has asked him to do,

to keep moving forward, to have the momentum going forward. Yes, that is

important with his whole game, that positive mindset try to keep

attacking. That doesn't mean just attacking the net, but trying to hit

through the court, because he has so many ways of winning points, so much

for IT in the way he plays, he can use the sliced backhand to attack as

well, but when he steps in, there is no better shot in the world. I think

on a grass court you get paid more dividends with that shot because it

skips through the court. Andy talked about his team, and we know how much

they have helped him get his fitness level, and then Jamie and Ivan

working with him, so let's see their reaction when he won. What is Ivan

going to do? You see, he can smile! It is such a brilliant team effort.

Matt Little, he calls him the torturer, the physical trainer. Yes,

and I think Jayme Doll Garbo, there has been a lot of focus on Ivan

Lendl coming back into the fray, but when you reflect on the last few

months, Jamie Delgado came in after the Australian Open, and he has done

a good job with the consistency and continuity of the preparation. Ivan

Lendl getting emotional! First time to everything. The whole team has

worked so hard, and they deserve credit as well. I love it when he

was interviewed, and they say, you are a man of few words, and users,

when I have to ask about the practice partner moving to the other

side, they say, over there! But he says pearls of wisdom. It has got

Andy in the right frame of mind, and having his presence there, he had

such great results his first to majors under Ivan Lendl, and the

positive body language really helped in moving forward, and he used that

with the crowd in his last to or three matches. -- two or three

matches. And the way he helped him through the Grand Slams. This is

part of the coach- player relationship, but Andy Last his

first four Grand Slam finals, Lendl lost his first four, and it is that

almost reassuring to mentally that he was doing the right things and if

he kept giving himself opportunities, he would get over the

line, and he did that in New York and then coming back to win at

Wimbledon. I think that is where Lendl had the psychological

advantage of being there, he was in 20 Grand Slam finals himself, he won

eight majors, so he has had a big heart to play. And winning

Wimbledon, to come here and win your second title, you understand it

because you play in Australia, and Tim, you understand it as well, it

is so difficult to be the home favourite. It is really tough,

because everywhere you look, you are under the spotlight straightaway,

and it is the whole build-up. As soon as he left the clay courts of

Paris, he came to London in everyone expected him to win Queen's again

for the fifth time, he went out and did that, everyone expected him to

perform extreme the well here in Wimbledon, so you have to try to

live in a little bit of a bubble for those few weeks, and listen to your

group, and that is where the relief now, he can actually enjoy what has

happened, Queen's Club was a fantastic win, the next afternoon

Lendl had him straight out on the practice courts here at a Aorangi.

Stephan Eberharter and Boris Becker with Gary. -- Stefan Edberg. I

thought he played really well, Milos Raonic didn't really have a chance

when Andy got those break points. You could see that Andy had more

experience and confidence being on this court on this day, and Milos

was knocking at the door but not loud enough. He was always in

control, Andy. Yes, I felt that the first set would be crucial, and

usually in a final if you can get ahead, you don't look back. So he

has three Grand Slam wins now, and when you get that level, you must

really start believing, there is a fourth or fifth, do you think like

that? The big one is always the first one, once you break that duck,

there is room for more, and he has won the US Open, he is 29, at the

peak of his career, he has been playing great tennis the last 18

months, so I'm sure he is up for some more. Yes, there are a few more

in the locker, probably. Can you guess how many might Wimbledon? I

have no idea, I am sure he will win more slams, but there are still some

big guys out there and they will be younger guys coming as well, but I'm

sure he will have a lot of good years ahead of him. Grass is his

most natural surface, compared with everybody who is still in the top,

and he will always be a big threat at Wimbledon. Hard court is a great

service for him, too, so he will be winning a couple more. Thank you

very much free time. Wonderful to hear from Boris and

from Stefan. Tim, this is one of the great traditions. Yes, the fans like

to see their champion out on the balcony, and it is an amazing

atmosphere. When we were out upon the Hill before the final started,

there has been so much excitement and anticipation about this match,

so I think everybody is breathing a sigh of relief. These are the people

who have queued just to sit on the hill, they haven't bought Centre

Court tickets, these are the true tennis fans. This is all part of it.

We were doing interviews at the start of the day, just around the

Hill, and the build-up of anticipation, for these people to

all come out and get a Gibbs of their champion, it would mean so

much to them. And wonderful weather as well, finally we get some

sunshine. After the first week, I was wondering if we would ever see

blue sky again. Wonderful scenes on the balcony. You

wonder what Novak Djokovic will be thinking. It has been amazing, a

couple of weeks, Djokovic winning his fourth Grand Slam in a row at

Roland Garros and has been the dominant force. Then this upset

losing to Sam Querrey in the first week. It will be an interesting

remainder of the year because I believe the number one spot is up

for grabs. Murray has been in grand slam finals and he is nearly there,

that would be an achievement. He has been number two but I think you can

do it. Jamie Noble and in the doubles, he got there first. --

Jamie is number one in the doubles. Are there other people who can catch

up with them? I think consistently over four slams for the next couple

of years they are the main guys to beat. We do not know how well Rafael

Nadal will come back from his injuries and Roger Federer had that

opportunity, was this his last chance? He did not look 100% fit but

still a great effort to make semifinals. There will be young guys

knocking on the door but these are the main guys. We have thoroughly

enjoyed having you on our coverage. It has been a lot of fun. Even

working with him? That has been the best part, Hazza. We're heading back

to Centre Court because Heather Watson is in the final along with

her partner, Henri Kontinen, up against the number 15 seed, Robert

Farah and Groenefeld, we are joining the match in the early stages, Sam

Smith and David Mercer. COMMENTATOR: The first test for the Watson-

Kontinen team. Her mother, Michelle, who hails from

Papua New Guinea. She lives every moment.

The first break points and already Groenefeld looking solid and the

net. These two as you would expect in the final, tougher than the

defending champions, even, Paes and Hingis, who they defeated in the

third round. It has been a great weekend for

youngest tennis -- British tennis. Just what she needed. Such a pick me

up after being so disappointed in the singles, in mixed you have to

serve well as a woman. It will make her release a little bit

particularly on the second serve. And not try to steer it as she can

do in singles. Preordained switch, Heather covering

behind Kontinen. The pairs we ought to introduce, on

the left Robert Farah, 29 years of age, from Columbia, bidding to be

the first Colombian ever to win the title at Wimbledon, the second ever

to win a Grand Slam. And Anna-Lena Groenefeld from Jimmy, who won this

title in 2009 with Mark Knowles. And on the other side the Anglo Finnish

partnership, Henri Kontinen creating history as the first Finn ever to

appear in a final at the grand slam. And Heather Watson, her first Grand

Slam final as well. Last British lady to win this title, our

colleague Jo Durie, who won it with Jeremy Bates.

Ladies and gentlemen, please take the first available seat for now,

thank you. So often in Mixed Doubles it is the

strength of the woman that is often the deciding factor and Groenefeld,

six foot tall, she has a big serve. That is why this matchup is so

tricky. Touch. It touched the racket of Farah. These two playing their

third consecutive major, they played at the French Open and the

Australian Open, losing to Jamie Murray in Australia in the second

round. Right now both teams trying to get

their service direction patterns sorted out. Kontinen is a big

return, rather erratic. I would imagine they will take their

serving away from the Watson backend, which has been outstanding.

-- backhand. Touch. I think it caught the body.

The seeded pair have been taken to deuce on both their service games.

Poults they all look super-sharp. They have played so much tennis,

particularly Farah and Groenefeld. These two of course had never played

together until the third round. Walkovers in the first two and their

very first opponents were the defending champions, Leander Paes

and not Hingis, they were 3-0 down in no time at all but then they

started to gel. It was getting to know each other, predinner drinks.

-- Martina Hingis. Clearly there first potential couple

of opponents must have realised it wasn't worth coming. They sensed

Heather and Henri would be extremely difficult to beat.

Again as Sam was saying, standard instructions, direct your fire at

the woman. Always. As long as it is on. And goes for pros, club players.

132 mph serve. Imagine someone driving past you on the motorway at

that speed. Just got caught, did not close down

the net. Allow some space for the dipper.

Farah are really coming operator. Well miss. Great cover from

Kontinen. These two have ignored their way through. -- giggled. I

must say the Finn is some talent, a touch of the showman about him but

we like Henri. -- Hugh Grant approved by one. He

has got plenty of power at disposal, Kontinen. He actually lives in

Estonia, Talinn, although he was born in Helsinki. Lovely to see a

lot of fans have stayed behind on Henman held, soaking up the

sunshine. They would enjoy another British winter round off a great

Championships. Still Henman held? You cannot just rename it, I know I

have heard Murray Mount. But we all Fellows said businesses. I am good

with Henman Hill. When you think how this championship started off for

the first for five days, monsoon conditions, then how gorgeous it is

now. It has been wonderful the second week. Lifting everybody's

spirits. You have to be careful in those

circumstances that you do not foul, touch the night, or play the ball

before it comes over the net. If you do it is a foul shot.

If you look at where Ferrari has landed his first volley, in the

tramlines, and he has given angle to Kontinen to work with. Had he hit it

more centrally Kontinen would have had to make his own angle stop there

is nothing wrong with serving and volleying and almost just punching

it straight down the T, straight back if you want at the returner.

They have to work a lot harder with their feet and their rackets.

Anna-Lena needs to know where he is going to direct this serve.

His mother was captain of the Libyan women's volleyball team at the

Montreal Olympics. Where did you get that from? You do not even use the

Internet. Right now, no one is quite running

the show out here, but Farah has the potential to do so.

The coaches of for Farah and Anna-Lena Groenefeld.

I have a feeling the majority of the discussions between Farah and

Groenefeld will be all about this serve, it is the weak link in the

chain, I am afraid. Covered it well. When it is so wide,

you need to cover that tram. A second serve of just 73 mph, and

that doesn't give Kontinen any time to react to those drives straight at

him. He might just have to take a step back, he could probably see the

writing on the ball as it went past him.

I thought they might get Henri moving here straight after the

serve, not sure which way he is going to go.

UMPIRE: New balls, please. The first ace of the match comes from Heather

Watson, and you wouldn't have expected that!

Heather of course going to the Olympics along with Johanna Konta. I

wonder if Jamie Murray has been watching her progress and wondering,

who should I play Mixed Doubles with in Rio? She has just put out a

pretty good advert, hasn't she? The key thing to Heather is whoever she

does play with, in mixed over the years, they have got to keep her

really chilled out, and I think we can see the chemistry between her

and Henri. She does tend to get rather uptight in some of her

matches. And Henri is almost too relaxed sometimes.

UMPIRE: Time. Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat, thank you.

The time of the day where the sun is a little awkward if you are at the

Royal Box end. Shades definitely needed.

A few mini opportunities popping up all over the place now.

In the second set of the quarterfinal, Heather Watson had a

real purple patch. Is she beginning to have one here? She is funny,

Heather. She said after the match yesterday, I just get my first ball

in, and Henri does the rest. I did think so somehow.

Just those sorts of moments where Henri needs to make the return. He

has missed a few off backhand throughout the tournament.

The signals telling her where to serve.

CROWD: Come on, Heather! And not entirely sure who hit that,

I think it might have been Henri. Heather Watson has made that, time

right onto the baseline. I wonder if they know not to serve to the Watson

backhand. British fans are quite happy to see that happening time and

again. Now, then, first break point the

Kontinen and Watson. That was a brave second serve. 101

mph. Difficult shadows on the court at

the moment. It can be tough when the ball comes out of the shadow into

the bright light. UMPIRE: Four games all, first set.

Really good reaction to that drive from Watson. Robert Farah, who like

Henry Kontinen is 6-foot tall, getting up to the overhead.

In the white there on the left, Chris Eaton, coach of Henri

Kontinen, part of the reason that Henri is playing with Heather

Watson. UMPIRE: Mr Farah challenging the

call on the left-hand line, the ball was called in.

15-15. Mr Farah has two challenges remaining.

If Chris Eaton has a lot of talent to work with here.

You can certainly see Kontinen as the grand slam contender in doubles

in the next few years. Might have a stronger case this

time. Yes. Great stretch from Heather, only

five foot seven. Groenefeld five foot 11.

Real Jack in the box, Kontinen, he is all over the place. He loves

moving. Use some of them up very nicely describing him as a showman,

who likes to exhibit his skills. Growing up in Finland he will have

played a lot on very fast surfaces indoors, that is one of the reasons

he has a big serve, very dynamic sort of player. Do not trust after

about three shots, but if he could just temper that fractionally and

add more subtlety to his game, particularly off the return, that is

I'm sure what they are working on. Without taking away the flamboyance

and enjoyment. He looks like he loves his tennis. They freely admit

some of their, Sessions even in the middle of games are not necessarily

about tennis. They told me they could not be broadcast, which makes

me even more intrigued. It looks like Groenefeld directing

traffic now. Still have not learned the lesson, do not serve to the

Watson backhand. Quite fascinated by Farah's serve, I

have not seen anyone been quite so far forward before they strike the

ball. The toss is way in front of the baseline and I'm certain some

point he is going to go head over heels, he is so fast into the court.

Given that, would possible target be to lobby his opponent and force him

to turn around. -- lob. Take a look at this, nice action,

but he is way forward. He goes over the line in the air,

and stays on his feet. You are allowed to be inside the baseline

with your feet are not touching the ground.

Clever second serve, swinging into the body of Anna-Lena Groenefeld,

who could not get out of the way. Quite naturally Heather does not get

a lot of top-spin but she gets quite a lot of slice, coming around the

outside of the ball. That really suits her. She has this funny thing

then she actually looks up before she has thrown the ball

That is a stunning shot. CHEERING We have seen some amazing tennis and

shots on Centre Court today but this might be one of the best. She is

just so coordinated off the backhand wing. Andy Murray would have been

proud of that lob. Fantastic. So important for the man to seize

every opportunity to help out his partner when she is serving.

Second double, struggling with the serve. John Peers incidentally to

camera right of Chris Eaton. Henri's doubles partner and Wimbledon

finalist last year with Jamie Murray.

That is better. She is a much better when she commits to the serve.

Now scoreboard pressure comes into play. Anna-Lena Groenefeld serving

to stay in the set. Kontinen and Watson know that at worst they are

in the tie-break. You have been sporting lots of idiosyncrasies

about the service. We all have them, but look at Heather, she does not

follow the ball, she already has her head up. Then she watches the ball

as it comes into her view. It is not such a bad technique because it

makes sure your head stays up. You do not pull down on the serve. Great

purpose of what is happening for this tournament is that she does

have a tendency to December rate on her second serve. If she can stand

and hit hundreds from the practice court, she has to do this under huge

pressure. We are out of the fun part of the Mixed Doubles. There is

rather a lot at stake. For the rest of your life being able to say, I am

a Wimbledon champion. Both teams have now served three

double faults. For what it is worth Kontinen and

Watson have played on tie-break, winning it. Farah and Groenefeld

lost their only tie-break. Kontinen will be glad the sun has just behind

the cloud. The different setup for Kontinen and

Watson on return. A good idea. Just give your opponent is a different

look. That is a fine return! And it is a

terrific start to the tie-break for Kontinen and Watson.

That is the return that is so important for the team. Kontinen

sometimes gets that racket head a little open and it flies, but got on

top of it there, gave it some control and pulled it down. Heather

was going to serve to the deuce court. It is 3-0, Heather, you have

to serve to the ad court! Oh, dear. It is not the biggest first serve

from Watson, but it is accurate. But she is going back ready for a

second serve. No, it found the line! She is happy she has only got one

more train journey to make later tonight! I think they might be going

to the champions' dinner if they win.

It is dry mouth time for parents and friends.

-- well dodged! Farah did really well there. Such an awkward volley.

Well, it is remarkable. The men have not won a single point on serve in

the tie-break, the women have won every single one. The 5-1 lead has

virtually gone, we are back on serve.

Suddenly, all the momentum with this pair.

S they take the tie-break 7-5, and have the first set.

SUE BARKER: What a tense tie-break that was, the to be running away

with it, let the opponents back in, and then held firm. Mum looks

delighted, and Watson and Kontinen are one setup. If you are just

coming in, the news here at Wimbledon is that Andy Murray is the

Wimbledon champion once again. This is how he finished it off against

Milos Raonic of Canada. Wimbledon champion for the second time, and he

had to do it the hard way, he was the favourite for the last nine days

of the championship, Milos Raonic was throwing down serves of over 140

mph, but Andy is the great defender, and he won in straight sets, 6-4,

7-6, 7-6, and he raised his game in those tie-breaks to a level we have

never seen before, and the motion now pours out from all he has been

through over the last to weeks. We hope you can enjoy this one more

than the emotional turmoil he went through in 2013 when he became the

first British man to win here in 77 years. A proud Dave and Ian his

family, and his team, at an Centre Court today. -- a proud day for Andy

and his team. And an emotional Ivan Lendl. Here is the scene on the

Hill, they have been enjoying today. It is now time to reveal our shot of

the championship, and Marcus Willis has just got even more memorable for

him, thousands of you voted this brilliant lob of Roger Federer the

best shot of 2016, over 31% of you voted for Marcus Willis, 20% for

Martina Hingis and 13% for up Andy Murray.

Let's just enjoy that magnificent lob one more time.

CHEERING JOHN McENROE: Roger is laughing!

He has got some good hands and feel. This is too good.

SUE BARKER: What a day it has been over Britain, Murray has won the

title, Marcus has produced the shot of the tournament, can Heather

Watson be part of the Mixed Doubles title? Back we go for the start of

the second set. ANDREW CASTLE: An improvised return

from Heather Watson, that is not in the coaching manual, it doesn't

matter how you get it back. . Trying to think of a time where Heather

hasn't made a return out here, she has just been so solid. Just allows

Henri to be a little more flamboyant.

Well, what an opportunity now. The first set secured, and a chance to

break the Farah serve. It isn't easy when you switch ends,

which is what they have done to keep the sequence.

So he will have a few extra service games.

Oh, Henri! It wasn't easy, but he had to make that one, Heather had

played a brilliant point. He does like to take a big swing, doesn't

he? He just didn't spot how good Heather's shot was, he backed off

instead. I don't think you could see,

actually, he is right in that little corner, the last remaining sunlight

on Centre Court. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt, we like Henri.

UMPIRE: Game, Farah/Miss Groenefelt. First game, second set.

No wonder the Farah/ Groenefeld support are out in force. The hill

would have been very steep if they had gone down a set and a break.

Heather's mum got very excited at the end of that first set tie-break.

Anna-Lena's turn now to be on the one place you don't want to be an

Centre Court. That was pretty heavy anyway. She

heard it, she didn't see it. Huge serving from Henry -- Henri

Kontinen, that last one 132 mph. We still await the first break of

serve. Played really well on the forecourt,

has Groenefeld. It is good to see Anna-Lena out

here, having built such a good career in doubles. Ten years ago,

she was on the verge of the top ten in singles. It just all went awry

for her, got away. She has regrouped well. She got to the quarterfinals

at the French Open in 2006. Another brilliant return from

Watson. Just occasionally you want to take

Henri Kontinen aside and say make sure you get that return. Even if

you just fade and block it, which would be very effective against a

player who does not like the ball low. When your partner is returning

this well, you have to contribute. That is why they have survived so

long, because Heather keeps punching away, giving him another chance.

It is a way of extending your career by becoming a really top-class

doubles player, she has been numbered seven in the world in

doubles earlier this year. Both doubles and mixed, there are so many

of the doubles players who go on now into their 40s, they include the

likes of Daniel Nestor. When she was at her best in singles, she had a

few injuries, she used to practice in Arizona, she was a long way from

home, got some injuries and ended up to take time out of the game and we

did not know if we would see her. She relocated back to Germany and

seems happier. I think it was a loss for the singles game. Just good that

she has managed to resurrect her career, so many times, that does not

happen. New balls in play and now it is Heather Watson who has got to

cope with the sun in that far corner.

What a difference, Watson really commits to that serve, she has

improved her first serve out of all recognition over the last 18 months,

spent some time practising the serving with Greg Rusedski.

I actually thought when Heather was serving the first that it was better

because the Centre Court feels higher the opposite end to where she

is now because it is slightly slow because of the drainage. A lot of

players say that the Royal box and feel slightly uphill. It is only

fractional. It is not like the slope at Lord's! Nowhere near.

High-quality, isn't it? Super. The women more than holding their own.

A few more serves now being directed at the Watson forehand.

He is saying, I will get one then one day, that is four in a row that

you have missed, Henri! UMPIRE: Game, Farah-Groenefeld.

First set, Kontinen-Watson. First love game of the match for the

Colombian - German partnership. Kontinen-Watson ahead in that

particular department, points one on serve. Henri getting some more

returns in, he has had chances. If you are wondering when Britain won

two of the Championship events in the same year, 1969.

That is good. Think we will see more and more returns going down the

line. It must feel like they are running out of options here.

Good reactions from Watson. Heather has always played a lot of doubles,

she was in the top 50 at one time, she is so sharp there. Quick hands,

quick brain, quick feet, that is what you get with Watson.

Fumbles. Good job it did not land on that hat, or else we would not have

known which one it would be! It might be sticky that hat, it might

have stuck to it! UMPIRE: Game, Kontinen-Watson. Three games all.

Second set. Good pressure from Kontinen-Watson,

they have only lost two points on their service games in their second

set. He might be in trouble now, they

might give him a telling off. It is a macho thing, if it is in the air,

it is mine. It should be, really. A lot of cracks around the baseline.

So that is how you do it, Henri! Get your return.

I wish she would hit a forehand like that in singles.

He blocked the return, they got into the rally, that is what he needs to

do. Is it not the definition of madness

if you keep doing the same thing again and again and again expecting

the same result? I can see the logic.

Well, credit to Groenefeld, she got the serve to the forehand. The shop

is going to break down for Watson, it is that wing. -- shot. UMPIRE:

Let, first service. Advantage, Miss Watson. Do not mess

with Henri, he is getting fired up. He is making returns.

Double faults and it is the first break of serve of the match.

Suddenly made those returns and what a difference it makes. Heather

really held things together. He is just helping her stay so relaxed in

enjoying her tennis. She needs to bottle less and take it to the

singles court. She is a wonderful talent.

Kontinen has a little that too on the inside of his wrist which says

never. -- never say never. If Watson holds, Kontinen at worst will have a

chance of serving for the title. It is so crucial to back up the break.

To reflect return from Groenefeld, so low over the net. It has been

played with such intensity, there isn't any room for slip-ups from

either team. Top marks for Henry. He has

protected this Watson served so well, he has been brilliant across

the net, making a nuisance of himself.

UMPIRE: Kontinen/Miss Watson lead by five games to for and by one set to

love. Suppose when you were a child and

you are practising playing in the juniors, these were the moments you

dream dog, coming out to serve for a Wimbledon title. It is really

special. I remember seeing Heather when she was so young, and there

were sacrifices from her family, going out to the States when she was

young, her mother went with her so it divided the family. A big

financial investment. Not everyone makes it, but Heather has already

put together a very good career, and she needs a lift right now, where

she is in singles. It is a corrected call, would you

believe it? Evens a line judge is getting nervous, called out and then

the line judge corrected his call, so we will start that point again,

at 15-0. UMPIRE: Net, first service.

Farah/Miss Groenefelt challenging the call, the ball was called in.

So what is happening here, Groenefeld is challenging the call

of let, it was wide, so it is a second serve.

It is completely understandable, I think Henri will be serving for some

big ovals titles in years to come, and this is the perfect

apprenticeship for him. UMPIRE: Game, set and match,

Kontinen/Miss Watson. 6-3, 6-4. At the start of the week, they had

never played a match together in their lives, and they are the

Wimbledon champions. For the first time in the history of these great

championships, the final Sunday sees two Britains claiming championship

titles. The royal seal of approval. Ladies and gentlemen, we would ask

that you please remain in your seats for the trophy presentation

ceremony, which will take place shortly in the Royal box. Not in

their wildest dreams, and I don't think they. Smiling for the next

couple of weeks, will they? -- I don't think they will stop smiling

for the next couple of weeks. They will forever be able to say they are

Wimbledon champions, something that is never taken away from you.

I think they might enjoy the champions' dinner tonight. It won't

be the last celebration for these two. Heather and Henri, never say

never, you will go to the ball! They played really well, just that

one break of serve in the entire match, and so nearly turned the

tie-break around, but no third Mixed Doubles title for Anna-Lena

Groenefeld, and Farah still waiting for a first Wimbledon title. Now,

what happens here, the players will go up into the Royal box to receive

their trophies from the president of the club, His Royal Highness, the

Duke of Kent, and then after that, we understand, we will be hearing

from Heather and Henri. And incidentally in addition to

their trophies, Kontinen and Watson will take away ?100,000, they share

it, and their opponents share ?50,000. And all the photographers

gather underneath the Royal Box. It doesn't matter that they are on

the hallowed ground of Centre Court. The chairman of the club, Philip

Brook, invites three guests to play on it tomorrow, and then they start

against the next year's championships.

They will come up that staircase on the right-hand side, the runners-up

first. Joe Brooke, the chairman's wife, in

the front there. Ladies and gentlemen, this presentation of the

Mixed Doubles and the Boys' Singles trophy will now take place in the

box. His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, President of the All-England

Club. Ladies and gentlemen, the Mixed Doubles 2016 runners-up,

Robert Farah and Anna-Lena Groenefeld.

APPLAUSE They had a great tournament, got all

the way to the final. And, ladies and gentlemen, the

Wimbledon Mixed Doubles champions 2016, Henry Kontinen -- Henri

Kontinen and Heather Watson! CHEERING

It is a fairy tale. Dreams do come true.

Coach, mother hidden behind him. Let's hope it is the springboard for

success in singles as welfare Heather Watson. She should take

immense confidence from this. She played brilliantly throughout this

whole Mixed Doubles event. They gelled wonderfully, wonderful

chemistry between them, it is a springboard for Henri as well. What

a way to end the Championships. ANNOUNCER: And now, ladies and

gentlemen, the Wimbledon Boys' Singles champion 2016, Denis

Shapovalov. CHEERING

From Canada, so Canada have been runners-up in the Men's Singles, but

maybe a future champion, Denis Shapovalov. He beat the Australian,

Ted Mack to, 46, -- Alex De Minaur, 4-6, 6-1, 6-3. He looks as tall as

Milos Raonic. What a special moment for them to be invited into the

Royal Box. Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes proceedings here on

Centre Court. We hope, yes, we hope...

You so the Championships are over for another year.

What a great day for British tennis, two wheelchair titles, the Mixed

Doubles and of course the Men's Singles.

SUE BARKER: What a wonderful story. They had never played a tournament

before this and now they are crowned champions. Earlier this afternoon,

Andy Murray was crowned Wimbledon champion earlier. What an emotional

journey it has been for a young boy dreaming of winning Wimbledon and

now he has won it twice. It is another chapter in his incredible

sporting story. The crowd rose four Andrew Murray --

first Wimbledon, first major. What a debut. Straight sets. What a

performance. I went to try, but it will not be easy. The support has

been incredible, thank you. First Grand Slam final

for Milos Raonic. He is giving big Milos

the runaround here. Deep second serve, and he has taken

a giant step towards a second Wimbledon champion again,

a supreme performance, So many incredible moments you have

had, it must be a very special tournament for you. Obviously, all

the British tennis players, Wimbledon is the biggest event that

we play in during the year and to win here for a second time is an

amazing feeling. Did you dream of winning when you were a young boy,

you and your brother? When you are kids, obviously you watch the big

events and I just wanted to play on the tour. When I went to Spain to

train when I was 15, my goal was to get into the top 100 and once you do

that and you start competing against the best players and playing in

these competitions, you think, maybe I could win one of these events. It

was not until I was 18 or 19 that I started thinking about potentially

winning the Grand Slams. You have won it not just once but twice, did

you enjoy this one more? Yes, much more. Different emotions. When I won

the first time, I was so relieved to have done it, that I did not enjoy

the moment as much as I should have done. I will not make that mistake

again. I will enjoy this, it has been a long few years since I last

won a Grand Slam. I will enjoy the next few days. Talk us through the

emotions that you went through from the match point, what were you

feeling, serving? I was thinking a little bits, about the past final

that I played, because I obviously had three match points at 40-0 on my

serve and then I was 6-1, lost the first one and you do start thinking

about that a little bit. I just had to keep trusting what I was doing

and trusting my shots and played and I suppress a point to finish it.

This was a nice moment as well, I think they were asking you about

your daughter and you were talking about just being young parents

together. It was great to have them come and support. It is always

difficult, when there are cameras in your face, it is not the most

relaxed surroundings. It was nice. The support today from everyone, was

great, great atmosphere. I was really happy that I could win it

again. This is a special moment. Thousands and thousands of people

who were sat on the hill cheering every point. We are used to playing

in front of big crowds, but when you go out there and see the amount of

people who are waiting, supporting, watching, I think the match was on

the big screen in some of the other courts, there was an amazing amount

of people are, I am very grateful for all the support they have given

me. They are all saying what you have done for them and British

board. Explain this,! I had to go and do some recovery stuff after the

match. I hopped into the ice bath with the trophy. I did not want to

let go of it because I will not get to see it now until tomorrow

morning. Do they not give you a replica to take home? I do not know

if I get it today, but the real one I would like to have taken it back,

I wanted to sleep with it. I kept hold of it for as long as I could

and now they have taken it away. If you could take it home and get a

picture with Sofia, you want to be so proud of you and I lovely picture

of her with the trophy be nice. I'm sure we will get one, perhaps just

with the replica but I'm sure we will get a few. Has it sunk in, you

were very emotional on the Centre Court when you were talking, has it

sunk in? I saw my whole team and it is really nice after the match as

well, just got to chat to Stephane Edberg and Boris Becker was in there

as well, Pat Cash... All Wimbledon champions, people that I watched

when I was growing up. Seeing them and talking to them was really nice.

I have not got to see any of my family really, it has been quite

busy but I will see them tonight. The champion's dinner, you have that

to look forward to. You're talking about all of the great champions and

they were talking about how you defend so well. He was throwing

bullets, the serve, right the way through, the big shots, serving and

folly in, you got everything back. You're like a brick wall! I returned

well today on his first serve especially and that was key. He can

put a lot of pressure on you when he is getting a lot of free points off

his serve but I felt I was getting a lot of returns and making him work

really hard. That was one of the things I set out to do, it is not

always that easy. Some good points. Is this the best you have ever

played? I think consistently, yes. Since Monte Carlo really, I have

played the finals in Madrid, the French Open and winning at Queen's,

I had my best play. This is the best I have played in the grass court

season, obviously the challenge is to keep that up for the rest of the

year. Also, Tim Henman was giving out the statistic that you had only

won one out of five tie-breaks against Milos Raonic. You had to be

strong, you started so well. He is dangerous in tie-breaks. That was

the thing. The closer it gets towards the end of the tie-break, if

it is even with his serve and the offensive game style that he plays,

he can put pressure on you. Just because of the scoreboard. I managed

to get big leads in both of the tie-breaks, made him play a lot, I

do not think I missed any returns. That was important to get big leads

at the start of the tie-breaks, especially in the third set as well.

You're playing for a Wimbledon title and the tie-break is a bit like a

penalty shoot out, thankfully I got ahead early. I know you're keen to

see your family, but I have to ask, what is next? We know that the Davis

Cup quarterfinal is against Serbia, have you made a decision? I will

speak to my team tonight and chat to Lyon as well tomorrow. Physically I

feel good, it is a long summer, with a lot of surface changes but as I

said in the press conference, right now, I want to play every day, I

feel great. I also need to think with the Olympics coming up as well,

and the hard court stretch, but it does not get too much, but I will

chat to my team about it tonight and speak to Leon. We have always had a

great relationship and communicated well, we might decide tomorrow

morning, when I wake up. A change of court surfaces tough. One word of

falling, I do not know whether you saw the champions dinner last year,

Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic introduced the dams. You ready for

that? No. The next winners can try it again. No dancing for me tonight.

Unless I have had a few glasses of champagne, then it is possible. I

remember you telling me that the last time you drank champagne, you

thought you had toothpaste... As I was flying back... This was not the

last time, but one of the times, I was flying back from New York and

could not sleep so I had a couple of glasses of champagne and ended up

getting up in the morning, it is a short flight, woke up, and basically

went to brush my teeth and I have put shaving foam on it instead of

toothpaste, on the toothbrush. I was helped him to keep an eye out for

you tonight. Congratulations, you are an incredible sportsman and well

done today. Fantastic, not just for British tennis but British board as

well. We have heard from Andy but let us hear from two of his team,

who have steered him to this title, eve online all and Jamie dugout oh.

You have just come from the dressing, described the scenes in

there? It is great, everyone is elated. What was it like? Obviously

everybody is thrilled, because Andy and his team have been working

really hard for the entire year to achieve that, it is great. Jamie,

you have a glass of champagne, whether a few bottles cracked "Macro

it was so deserved. He has worked so hard, lost a few of these finals

now. It is amazing for him. When you come into the dressing, either a few

tears between all of you? I cannot lie, I had a few tears in my eyes. I

think there were a few. You always have a stony face, but did you shed

a tear. That is as good as it gets. Why not? What was it like watching

for you, because seemingly it was a comfortable match so what was like

sitting there? Get in their! And other member of the team. What was

it like watching? Maybe it looked comfortable for you, but with the

server like Milos Raonic you cannot let up for a second. Just imagine if

he broke early in the third and then there was the tie-break, we are

still out there. The match was just one break of serve. The focus Andy

had was fantastic. I think from his point he kept the pressure on him

really well and was creating a few chances. I said that I felt pretty

confident. There was a difficult match but we are delighted for him.

When you were sitting there, you do not show a lot of emotion, had you

keep those emotions in check? Maybe I am asleep, you never know! How do

you do it? I am just observing a lot, obviously I am worded about it

at certain times more than others. While we are observing, we are

talking about what we see, because four eyes are better than two and

Jamie has a great guy. We're talking about how we need to improve things.

You have been a brilliant coach, will we see you at Wimbledon next

year sitting in his box? I sure hope so. Brilliant, celebrations to my,

what will it be like for the team? Crazy. Who will be leading it? You

already had a preview with that guy. Thank you.

SUE BARKER: They should be on the stage! Two comedians there. But what

a team, Jamie Delgado taking Andy through the first few weeks of the

year, and then Ivan Lendl joining in, what a story. Here is Heather

Watson, and her partner Henri Kontinen of Finland, she claims the

title, they got a couple of walkovers, and then they were just

beating one seed after another, and today it was the 15th seeds, Robert

Farah and Anna-Lena Groenefeld who they beat, and Heather's proud

mother was watching on, look at her, so excited! When you go back to the

first couple of days of the Championships, she was so

disappointed to lose in the singles, but these are the scenes she will

remember from Wimbledon 16, and we celebrate along with her, we all

celebrate with her. An absolutely wonderful story. Let's now hear from

Heather and Henri, because Gary went to speak to them as well.

Many congratulations, Wimbledon champions. How does that sound?

Pretty awesome! You are holding this so close! They tell me to do that. I

can't describe how happy I am right now, I can't stop smiling. I

couldn't have picked anybody better to share this experience with Van

Henri. We had so much fun from the first point in our first match to

the last one, and I think that is why we did so well, and played well

together, and thank you for putting up with me! What do you say to the

attribute? I think she said it all. There was nothing to put up with, I

don't remember having this much fun on a tennis court probably ever. It

was a dream ride we had this week, and we enjoyed every minute of it.

How did you make it such fun? Incredibly, you go out there, it

makes you relax? I think our personalities are pretty laid back,

and we like to have a good time. And Mixed Doubles also is a fun thing

that we don't get to play very often, so I think it is important to

try and enjoy it as much as you can, even though you do want to win and

we are all competitive. But I think that is just us and we gelled

straightaway. Brilliant. Congratulations, thank you very

much, enjoy your evening. Thank you. SUE BARKER: And Heather and Henri

will be going to the champions' dinner as well. Let's round up some

of the other finals from today. Denesh above all of from Canada won

the Boys' Singles 6-3, he beat the number one seed in the final, --

Denis Shapovalov. And he has put out Alex De Minaur. I'm sure we will

hear more from him. And the winners of the Girls' Doubles final, they

are excited, they went through and Gordon Reid won the first

singles event in the wheelchair, he was celebrating for about 15 minutes

after, he won 6-1, 6-4. He was the Australian Open champion earlier

this year, now here's the Wimbledon champion, and there he is being

given the trophy. Another trophy to add.

What lovely weather we are ending the tournament with. Clare will have

highlights in about 20 minutes time. Jordanne Whiley and her Japanese

partner today were going through a third straight doubles title, her

partner was Yui Kamiji. We join it at two games all in the second set,

and Jordanne and Yui have the lead. Jordanne is delighted with that. It

is beaming down on her today. For the first time in this second set,

we have another break point. Brilliant. Nice, says her partner,

Kamiji. That was such a measured volley from

Jordanne Whiley, she just snatched a few of those early on, but I think

she is feeling really confident on the court now. Opens up the rest,

lays it back a little, just nudges it into the space. She knew her

opponent wasn't getting that one. When Whiley and Kamiji first paired

up, I think Yui Kamiji's English wasn't that good, so there was a lot

of sign language between them, nodding and smiling, but Yui 's

English has improved as a result of her rapport with Jordanne. It is

important to share that doubles relationship with someone, the

journey with somebody in doubles. It is really relaxing and soothing, and

then over time, the players evolve into even better singles players as

a consequence. She had so much on the world tour. Jordanne Whiley has

had no sporting success of the doubles court for a few years now,

but it is just starting to come through on the singles court as

well. She won her first super series title, which in terms of prestige is

one tier below the Grand Slams. Jordanne 's mum is also on the side

there, in a blue jacket. Another sublime drop shot from Yui

Kamiji to seal the game, a step in their lead now. There are well on

the way to possibly a third Wimbledon title. He will be

delighted inside, dad, Keith. 40 gorgeous setting it is here

through the belly of as W 19, sandwiched between Centre Court and

number one court, church roadside. The non-ticket holders can buy their

ticket on the left of here and find their way in. This is the final day

of play today from 2016 Wimbledon. I loved the little cry made rally of

Yui, Yui! The edge ever closer to another Wimbledon title. For the

Dutch duo at the bottom of your picture, this is pretty much a must

win game, otherwise they are right up against it.

Thunderous from Yui Kamiji there, the lefty of the team.

A mini opportunity here to edge towards 5-2 for the top seeds.

Concedes with Olimpa double fault, Aniek Van Koot is a player of such

talent, that will hurt. Two break point opportunities for

the top seeds. Aniek Van Koot redeems herself after

a double fault prior, but still has work to do here. Second break point

opportunity for Yui Kamiji and Jordanne Whiley.

Oh, she has just spilled wide again. So the Anglo Japanese combination

put themselves in a very dominant position. A set and 5-2 for the top

seeds. They will be feeling really, really good about their situation

right now. A game away from another Wimbledon title. That is five games

in a row for Kamiji and Whiley. Dad will be delighted there, Keith,

sandwiched between the to players. Look at that. Talk about dominance.

12 of the last 15 in favour of the top seeds in your picture. No wonder

they are all smiles and there is great communication between the to

of them. Conversely, you would imagine the second seeds being

fairly quiet, feeling a little downbeat at their situation, but

they are full of energy and they are desperate to recover. And that lady

in the blue jacket in your picture is Julie, that is Jordanne 's

mother, she will no doubt be on the edge of her set for what may be the

last game. You see that so much in doubles, the

Gulf in the middle of the court, a lot of traffic gets driven down

there, it can be a miscommunication thing.

A penetrating backhand slice from Aniek Van Koot, too much for

Jordanne Whiley to retrieve. You have to watch her, she can ignite at

any time, Van Koot, very dangerous on the court.

But it comes at a price. And that price, unforced error is, and these

two will be gladly receiving them right now. Two points away from the

Wimbledon title. Just pulled that one off a little. I

am sure her pulse is racing right now. It is an easy thing to say, go

one point at a time at this stage, but it is difficult to do.

Wonderful angle from Yui Kamiji. And after an hour and seven minutes

then, this has brought up a match point opportunity for the top seeds.

Untimely double faults. When Gordon Reid was serving for the match

earlier, he also started off with a double fault but was a -- able to

close it out on his second match point.

Second match point opportunity. For Yui Kamiji and Jordanne Whiley here.

Look at their reaction! It is a trio of consecutive Wimbledon titles,

three in a row for Jordanne Whiley and Yui Kamiji. They are the most

incredible doubles team, Jordanne Whiley and Yui Kamiji, they won the

Grand Slam" and now Jeff Newton handing over another trophy, another

Wimbledon title for this incredible pair. Well done to Jordanne Whiley

and Yui Kamiji. And one other final to bring you, it is from the Boys'

Doubles and the winners were Kenneth Raisma and his partner. It was not

to be another triumph for Denis Shapovalov and his partner, the

Canadian. Kenneth Raisma and Stefanos Tsitsipas are the Wimbledon

champions. That runs up finals today. As the sun begins to set over

London, it is almost time for us to say goodbye to the Championships but

before we leave, let us look back at some of the headlines here and much

more. Here is John Inwood al's take on Wimbledon 2016. So it is over for

another year... The final ball is struck, leaving some elated, others

deflated and all those involved in exhaust on. That middle Sunday takes

it out of you. 14 days of covers on and covers off, rescheduling here

and there, not the best of championships for some. Massive win

for Sam Querrey. Massive shock for Wimbledon. But not the worst.

Everything these days is one or the other. There is no in between. Last

Wednesday, the most remarkable single day in Wimbledon history. Or

just the best Wednesday? Or just the best second Wednesday? How does that

make Thursday feel both macro meanest Thursday. It is not just in

conversation for now, but for ever, past present and future. The one D

generation and the HD. The wettest, the dullest, the saddest, the

happiest, the fastest, the strangest, the unlikeliest, the

angriest. Another piece of Wimbledon history created here. The most

amazing comeback ever. Really? What ever happened to prospective? And

yet sometimes, the gist is beyond argument. Serena Williams does have

the finest women serve ever. She almost certainly would be the

biggest Grand Slam champion ever. Roger Federer is the most charming

player of all time. Milos Raonic is more like Pete Sampras. Andy Murray

need never win another match because he is Britain's greatest of all

time. We have reached that word, the greatest. Who says? What are the

criteria? Who cares? Every year Wimbledon reclaim is the right to

hyperbole, because it is probably the greatest tennis tournament in

the world. It definitely is and so much happening today, with Andy

Murray's Wimbledon triumph and if you want to see it once again, then

join Claire at 10:50 p.m.. At the end of the week, it is the Davis Cup

and it is Serbia against Great Britain in the quarterfinals which

starts on Friday over the weekend. That is it, sadly it is time to say

goodbye, another tournament has gone by, but what drama we have seen, the

rain and the sun, we have had Marcus Willis and Heather Watson winning

fairy tale stories but what great champions we with, the historic win

for Serena Williams yesterday and Andy Murray today. From all of the

BBC team, goodbye. Marcus Willis, the man ranked 772 in

the world. What a wonderful story. Roger versus markets. David versus

Goliath. -- markers. Come on Andy? At that big! . Ladies and abdomen,

places bended. -- ladies and gentlemen, play suspended. It is

very easy, it is from here. Look at it! Look at it! He has done

it! Massive shock for Wimbledon! Welcome to the second week of the

Championship six is simple and as easy and a as you could possibly

imagine. She has reinvented herself, a Wimbledon final for Angelique

Kerber. Milos Raonic through to his first Grand Slam final. When you

have got a guy like that, you follow him. Come on, Andy! That is Sunday

afternoon taking care of. To come this far, you must be pretty big. It

is Serena Williams again. There can only be one champion, gametime. He

is giving Milos Raonic the runaround here. Next break for Murray. You can

sense the tension in the crowd. Wimbledon champion again. Andy
