For new viewers it's 0-30, now it's 30-30. Fognini breaking at the start

:00:48.:00:56.

of the second set. Faded away rather dramatically at the end of the

:00:57.:01:04.

first. Now beginning to display the kind of talents that we know he's

:01:05.:01:06.

got. He didn't waste a whole lot of

:01:07.:01:29.

energy in the first set. The word discipline not usually associated

:01:30.:01:35.

with Fognini. That shot choice there...

:01:36.:01:54.

Just a stretch too far. Now it's Murray with break point.

:01:55.:02:12.

If there ever was a doubt, his hip is fine.

:02:13.:02:32.

They don't like you doing that on the grass. UMPIRE: Warning, Mr

:02:33.:02:49.

Fognini. There's a way to do this... He's got the record. He was fined

:02:50.:02:55.

?21,000 three years ago for unsportsmanlike conduct and a verbal

:02:56.:02:59.

obscenity and he threatened to smash a racket on the face of Wayne

:03:00.:03:04.

McEwan, one of the officials. That wouldn't have been good! It makes

:03:05.:03:14.

John McEnroe looks like a saint! There was a moment two years ago

:03:15.:03:20.

where if he'd got another fine he would have been suspended for quite

:03:21.:03:24.

a long time. All of a sudden he started to behave much better. This

:03:25.:03:32.

was obviously a crucial break for Murray. Fognini was settling in a

:03:33.:03:36.

bit with a break ahead. Break himself.

:03:37.:03:51.

It's tough when you're playing two people. Your opponent, and your own

:03:52.:03:55.

head. It's a crucial time in the match,

:03:56.:04:13.

Fognini is on the ropes. Emotionally, that is.

:04:14.:04:26.

I get the feeling he lives on the ropes! It's not too often that he

:04:27.:04:35.

hasn't got a lot of things going through that head. He's the nicest

:04:36.:04:39.

guy of the court, he's charming. Then something changes when he puts

:04:40.:04:46.

on tennis shoes and gets a tennis racket.

:04:47.:05:32.

Murray's righted the rungs. From a break down, he goes to- one up. --

:05:33.:05:46.

righted the wrongs. . SUE BARKER: we are staying with the tennis on BBC

:05:47.:05:54.

One. If you are expecting to see the One Show, that will be over on BBC

:05:55.:05:58.

Two. Here we are staying with the tennis. COMMENTATOR: He'll be

:05:59.:06:07.

feeling a lot easier. Obviously when you're playing someone like Fognini,

:06:08.:06:12.

he can go on a tear up winning 34 games very quickly. He has in the

:06:13.:06:17.

past but you've got to stick with it mentally. Murray is one of the best

:06:18.:06:22.

ever at keeping his focus and intensity high, particularly here.

:06:23.:06:30.

We talked a couple of months ago, in the past Fognini had a horrible

:06:31.:06:34.

record. He felt so much pressure to do well in his home country that he

:06:35.:06:39.

many times lost in the first round. He didn't follow that up with a

:06:40.:06:45.

particularly good result after beating Murray. That's why he's

:06:46.:06:49.

ranked where he is because he had an opportunity to really get himself in

:06:50.:06:53.

this match and he just threw it away, gave it back to him, let him

:06:54.:07:04.

seize control. Not to mention he got the crowd grumbling against him.

:07:05.:07:13.

Murray knows this is an important time. Obviously he's a very good

:07:14.:07:18.

match player, he's always observing the other side. He can tell that

:07:19.:07:21.

Fognini is wobbling. Things are conspiring against him.

:07:22.:07:47.

He looked up but Bacall confirmed. -- Bacall was confirmed. I don't

:07:48.:07:56.

serve and volley anyway, how can they call me for a footfall?

:07:57.:08:16.

That was a risky second serve. 100 miles an hour, it could have gone

:08:17.:08:33.

anywhere. Life on the ropes. We know the name of his book if he writes

:08:34.:08:35.

one! I want to see him play shots like

:08:36.:08:57.

this one. Go back behind them, see that he's off-balance, solid volley,

:08:58.:09:08.

not go to big on it. If he wants to keep playing he's got to show some

:09:09.:09:10.

more discipline out there. First ace for the Italian. It makes

:09:11.:09:51.

in so unpredictable because you never know what's going to come at

:09:52.:09:54.

you. I don't think he knows at times!

:09:55.:10:37.

Murray was complaining about his foot speed there.

:10:38.:11:11.

He's challenging. I'm not sure he's going to get anything out of it.

:11:12.:11:27.

It's his third double. UMPIRE: Mr Murray has one challenge remaining.

:11:28.:11:50.

You don't know what to expect shot to shot with this guy. It can

:11:51.:12:35.

unsettle you. First serve percentage is way down

:12:36.:12:58.

in the second set. It's fantastic. He's so flat-footed

:12:59.:13:19.

when he plays it, but it's a shot of genius. The slice forehand is the

:13:20.:13:24.

one I like. He worked hard to get load to that ball, set himself up

:13:25.:13:35.

for this. An impossible angle. No chance for Murray to retrieve that.

:13:36.:13:44.

Two break points. That's what he needs.

:13:45.:14:07.

Not by much. He's only got one challenge left so he's got to be

:14:08.:14:13.

careful. I'm not sure what happened there!

:14:14.:14:36.

But it didn't look pretty and Fognini goes in front again.

:14:37.:14:47.

Strange. That drives you crazy. You want him to self-destruct but you

:14:48.:14:53.

can't really relax against this guy. He can come up with something

:14:54.:14:58.

special. There's something about the vibe that your feeling on the other

:14:59.:15:03.

side that makes it difficult to really be able to do your thing the

:15:04.:15:09.

way you want to. I feel there's a lot of nervous tension in that

:15:10.:15:13.

second set for both players. They have a history with H other, they've

:15:14.:15:22.

known each other since they were 14. Murray a bit edgy right now. If you

:15:23.:15:27.

aren't forced errors. We shouldn't forget he hasn't had the greatest of

:15:28.:15:31.

years either. He doesn't come into Wimbledon having won a couple of

:15:32.:15:37.

tournaments. He didn't. He battled hard in the French. We haven't seen

:15:38.:15:49.

his A-game that often. I've always got the feeling with Fognini, I may

:15:50.:15:52.

be playing the number one player in the world on his home patch, but a

:15:53.:15:57.

five play well I'm going to beat him. But I have to play well. It

:15:58.:16:05.

could be Federer, Djokovic, Rafa. It's tough to do that throughout a

:16:06.:16:11.

best of five set match. If your concentration lapses, you've seen

:16:12.:16:15.

even in this one, but here he is back in the mix.

:16:16.:16:34.

Murray's form has dipped. It did. Just missing some of the points he

:16:35.:16:42.

made in the first set. Once he went to the one hand and

:16:43.:17:08.

kept it, Fognini correctly started to move forward. Not a particularly

:17:09.:17:14.

high percentage shot. He's flying right now, Fognini. But

:17:15.:17:24.

for how long? Pointing up the court for a bounce

:17:25.:18:23.

earlier on. I think both players would rather lose on the ground

:18:24.:18:24.

strokes! Taking their time in little bit to

:18:25.:18:33.

play the next one. Fognini called it out. I'm not so

:18:34.:19:10.

sure whether he still believes that. He was chancing it, wasn't he?

:19:11.:19:23.

Someone said no chalk blew up. The semifinal in Miami, that was

:19:24.:20:12.

really as good as it got. He beat Nishikori. He was having his results

:20:13.:20:16.

on hard courts. You mentioned the Fognini results. I

:20:17.:20:54.

don't think Murray is on top of his game as I said earlier. It's more a

:20:55.:20:59.

case of him dropping his level, letting Fognini back in. I wonder

:21:00.:21:08.

how much Fognini has even played on grass courts leading up to this.

:21:09.:21:12.

Knowing him a little bit, not an awful lot.

:21:13.:21:32.

You just don't know what's coming next. And in his notes, and he might

:21:33.:21:49.

have said that. But there are going to be times like this. It's just

:21:50.:21:50.

dealing with it. Limiting the damage but there's

:21:51.:22:20.

still been plenty so far in the second set.

:22:21.:22:34.

SUE BARKER: just to remind you we are staying with the tennis here on

:22:35.:22:41.

BBC One. If you are tuning in expecting to see The One Show, that

:22:42.:22:46.

is over on BBC Two. The One Show is on BBC Two. COMMENTATOR: Looking at

:22:47.:22:54.

the statistics on Fognini, you might think he won't win too many

:22:55.:22:57.

tournaments, he is only one for, but that he would be very good against

:22:58.:23:01.

the major players. He's never beaten a top five player in a major. He won

:23:02.:23:08.

four, lost 29 against the top five. But he thinks he's a top five

:23:09.:23:14.

player! He loves Centre Court. If you believe it, it's the battle.

:23:15.:23:22.

Nadal must have been one of the winds when he beat him at the open?

:23:23.:23:32.

-- wins. He was ranked eighth then. Nadal was coming back from injury.

:23:33.:23:45.

He may be here longer than he anticipates.

:23:46.:24:04.

He's not as tall -- a tall man. It makes returning his serve difficult.

:24:05.:24:15.

It reminds me a bit of the Leyton Hewitt served which comes off the

:24:16.:24:20.

court and you can't do much with it. He actually goes big on his second

:24:21.:24:22.

serve pretty often. He wasn't sure, Fognini. Still

:24:23.:25:06.

hasn't moved! He loves they pose. What took him so long? LAUGHTER Look

:25:07.:25:23.

how long he stays in this pose. Out by one millimetre, but he knew that.

:25:24.:25:36.

New balls, please. Murray will have to serve to stay in the second set.

:25:37.:25:54.

Here he goes again, Fognini. Driving another opponent crazy.

:25:55.:26:23.

Again, the court not to his liking. It's like asking Michelangelo to

:26:24.:26:30.

come in and paint your walls. He wants everything perfect.

:26:31.:27:50.

He succeeded in unnerving Murray whose level has clearly dropped.

:27:51.:28:03.

Murray holds and let's see what Fognini is made of, serving for the

:28:04.:28:14.

set. Boris, he knows Murray is going to be after him here if he gets an

:28:15.:28:19.

opportunity. Serving for the set is always difficult. Tensions rise. In

:28:20.:28:30.

this particular situation Fognini has the chance to level out the

:28:31.:28:38.

match. Murray will look at every opportunity he gets. Just to make

:28:39.:28:49.

him hit another ball. Career high of 13 in the world. If he plays at his

:28:50.:29:01.

best, even against the defending champion... He's not dictating as

:29:02.:29:07.

many points as he'd like to and that is causing some headaches here.

:29:08.:29:15.

Fognini has gone big. CHEERING

:29:16.:29:34.

The crowd know this is important, they've raised the noise level a

:29:35.:29:35.

little bit. Accompanied how well he's hitting

:29:36.:30:02.

the second serve. -- I can't believe how well. 101 mph.

:30:03.:30:58.

Well, especially near the baseline there are some low bounces, but that

:30:59.:31:02.

wasn't the time. Set point, he was still going to go

:31:03.:31:40.

for it. He can take a bit more risk. Cue more set points, though.

:31:41.:31:50.

Game and second set, Fognini. Fabi -- fabulous Fabiola has done what he

:31:51.:32:06.

wanted. It is one the set all. SUE BARKER: will be right back with this

:32:07.:32:10.

match. We are staying with the tennis on BBC One. The scheduled

:32:11.:32:15.

transmission of a question of sport will now not be shown. The scheduled

:32:16.:32:24.

transmission of A Question of Sport won't be shown. We are staying with

:32:25.:32:29.

the tennis. We can just update you on a couple of matches still being

:32:30.:32:31.

played here. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga came back and

:32:32.:32:42.

took the second set. That is the featured match on the red button.

:32:43.:32:53.

Also on the red button and the website, Jamie Murray and his

:32:54.:32:58.

partner. Two-time Grand Slam champions. They are in battle. 2-1

:32:59.:33:07.

up. That is on the red button and the website. Venus Williams,

:33:08.:33:13.

five-time champion, has come through against a teenager from Japan. 76,

:33:14.:33:29.

6-4. The French Open champion is also through. CD 13, she defeated

:33:30.:33:42.

her Italian opponent 7-57- five. She won her first tournament at Roland

:33:43.:33:46.

Garros and she is going well here. One of the biggest hitters on the

:33:47.:33:55.

tour. Henman Hill is packed, as you would expect, watching Andy Murray.

:33:56.:34:00.

Maybe it is Murray Mount. They will be feeling the tension. Murray

:34:01.:34:05.

locked in battle. One set all against a very talented Italian.

:34:06.:34:19.

There is the gesture that greeted the winning of the second set.

:34:20.:34:26.

Fognini went off for a call of nature and has just come back. He

:34:27.:34:35.

will be pretty happy with that. A lot of good to end the set and make

:34:36.:34:46.

with the real competitive match. The crowd is tensing up. Fognini loving

:34:47.:35:00.

it. When he loves it, there is danger.

:35:01.:35:21.

If you were coaching him and you were able to get in his ear, what

:35:22.:35:32.

would you be seeing? Stick with it. This first couple of games it is

:35:33.:35:35.

important not to go behind again. Try to hold your serve-mac. Finally

:35:36.:35:39.

to win the points. If only it were that easy. You are

:35:40.:35:56.

going to see him trying to influence the crowd. That extra five or 10%

:35:57.:36:07.

can come in handy. He has to make this guy earning every point. Just

:36:08.:36:11.

one baseline winner from Murray. That is what he is looking for,

:36:12.:36:44.

Murray. It does not have to be brilliant. Have to switch to

:36:45.:36:52.

momentum a little bird. Be a little more proactive as well. Not just

:36:53.:36:55.

reacting to what Fognini is doing. No man's land, no --, could not

:36:56.:37:29.

command the opening. Not good enough.

:37:30.:38:01.

He is upping the intensity. Fognini not able to latch onto the second is

:38:02.:38:11.

three. A big game. You picked it. You said he had to up

:38:12.:38:33.

the intensity and that is what he has done. He understands what it

:38:34.:38:47.

takes, that is why he has won this. When I was working with me last year

:38:48.:38:52.

could see how he understood what the advantage was of engaging the crowd.

:38:53.:38:58.

It can only help. At first you thought when it was

:38:59.:39:16.

30-30 and Fognini miss the retirement with him being

:39:17.:39:20.

frustrated. I think he was surprised he reacted that way.

:39:21.:39:33.

Fognini is challenging the call. The ball was called out. A strange call

:39:34.:39:43.

to challenge so early. Throwing one away. Fognini has two challenges

:39:44.:39:50.

remaining. Brutal. I do not think we are going to be

:39:51.:40:08.

talking about the fact that Fognini seems to be serving better than

:40:09.:40:12.

Murray. Certainly as this match has gone on.

:40:13.:40:45.

Latching onto every opportunity to encourage Murray, the crowd.

:40:46.:41:37.

He is serving pretty well, Fognini. Yes, but Murray, the returns, too

:41:38.:41:52.

many unforced errors, giving away points to quickly.

:41:53.:42:15.

Murray has also only been at the net a total of seven times. It seems

:42:16.:42:25.

that with his touch and feel around the net he should get more

:42:26.:42:37.

aggressive. Not serve and volley but worked his way? Yes. He is allowing

:42:38.:42:44.

Fognini to dictate most of these points. Wonderful sleight of hand.

:42:45.:43:08.

Just like that. That was a tough shot to hit. Really difficult shots.

:43:09.:43:27.

Fognini went to the net 17 times and Murray eight times.

:43:28.:43:53.

Great serving from Murray. The crowd responding. Something happened to

:43:54.:44:12.

Fognini. His right leg I believe, he appears to be in some pain. As he

:44:13.:44:18.

walks to the chair. I do not know if you will get a replay of that move

:44:19.:44:28.

he made. A little bit lame. He is flexing his ankle. It may be an

:44:29.:44:34.

ankle problem. I have not heard him ask for the trainer. Much as

:44:35.:44:43.

everyone wants, or practically everyone here, wants Murray to win,

:44:44.:44:49.

this is building up to a really good contest. Cannot see anything here.

:44:50.:44:59.

He starts flexing and looking notably more uncomfortable. A few

:45:00.:45:11.

seconds earlier. The right ankle, I think it is. No trainer and no

:45:12.:45:24.

request for a trainer. Should not underestimate the Italian community

:45:25.:45:28.

in London, there is a lot of Italians in London and they will

:45:29.:45:32.

support their man. You might have to wait for service.

:45:33.:45:46.

Always represent Italy in the Davis Cup. Played the Olympics. Sorry for

:45:47.:45:56.

the problems we have with vision. Maybe something is off. With his

:45:57.:46:14.

feet. Fognini is challenging the call. He

:46:15.:46:54.

is stuck with that ankle as if it is betraying him. Just as it was

:46:55.:46:59.

starting to look so good for Fognini, complications. As bad a

:47:00.:47:10.

challenge as we have seen in the tournament. Perhaps just to give him

:47:11.:47:14.

some time. Lucky. Fognini has two challenges

:47:15.:47:51.

remaining. If it is a problem, I do not understand why he has not asked

:47:52.:47:53.

for the trainer. He did not move forward berth, he

:47:54.:48:17.

hesitated. Not feeling comfortable at the moment. In trouble. We have a

:48:18.:48:24.

problem with our graphics. You will not get the score at the moment. It

:48:25.:48:29.

is 15-40, two break points for Marray. Something about the first

:48:30.:48:50.

served. I wish I spoke Italian. Looked pretty good moving there.

:48:51.:48:56.

That is a shot you would have been proud of. It is a lot more difficult

:48:57.:49:09.

than he made it look. Still break points. Let. First service.

:49:10.:49:38.

There is the break. You can see the court is chewed up back there. It is

:49:39.:50:00.

pre-1. We understand that Fognini has asked for the trainer at the

:50:01.:50:02.

next change of ends. There are also psychologists

:50:03.:50:14.

available. Fognini is so difficult to read

:50:15.:51:07.

because he has been like this in earlier in the match and then he

:51:08.:51:16.

suddenly fires up. Murray has risen his intensity. He knows what is at

:51:17.:51:29.

stake in the third set. A real match player. He likes the competition, he

:51:30.:51:38.

gets better with it. I think he has accepted a fight. Let. First

:51:39.:51:45.

service. Yes! 119 out wide. Murray into

:51:46.:52:14.

double figures on aces. A point away from a 4-1 lead.

:52:15.:52:39.

Murray is 4-1 up and we await the trainer on Centre Court for Fabio

:52:40.:52:45.

Fognini so it is going to be a little bit of delay until play

:52:46.:52:51.

resumes. There is the trainer. He has made his way to look at the

:52:52.:53:01.

ankle. . To we can show you what is happening elsewhere. Jo-Wilfried

:53:02.:53:14.

Tsonga, two time finalist, is one set all against the big server from

:53:15.:53:19.

the United States. That looks as if it is going to be heading for a

:53:20.:53:23.

tie-break. That is our featured match on the red button. Court 18,

:53:24.:53:38.

Jamie Murray. A battle on court 18 for the number of three seeds. The

:53:39.:53:46.

two time Grand Slam champions. That is on the red button and the

:53:47.:53:48.

website. The trainer is still on court. This

:53:49.:54:13.

is how Fabio Fognini hurt his ankle. He tweaked it with that movement for

:54:14.:54:19.

that return of serve. He has been flexing that ankle ever sense than

:54:20.:54:23.

calling for the trainer. No doubt he will begin eating some heavy

:54:24.:54:26.

strapping on that to try to help. Everyone is out on the hill enjoying

:54:27.:54:34.

the match. If you are expecting to see East End -- EastEnders, that

:54:35.:54:52.

will be on BBC Two at 8pm. There is bootstrapping. Difficult to

:54:53.:55:03.

know how to severe it is, only Fognini knows. At the other end of

:55:04.:55:10.

the court Murray is moving around, stretching. Doing the right things.

:55:11.:55:15.

Yes. You have to keep warm and keep at it and keep your focus. Easier

:55:16.:55:25.

said than done. Looked to be something to do with the Achilles.

:55:26.:55:32.

The back area. See if they can tape it up and pressure on the trainer,

:55:33.:55:38.

get it right the first time, the first and only time presumably.

:55:39.:55:45.

Seeing what this guy has to offer, if he can handle the pain. He does

:55:46.:55:48.

not seem to have been given anything. That will take 15 or 20

:55:49.:55:55.

minutes to kick in. He relies on his speed. He has got some excellent

:55:56.:56:04.

wheels. At the moment he looks to be in some big trouble. Yes, the

:56:05.:56:11.

feeling from Murray will be one of relief because it looks as if it

:56:12.:56:14.

could get nasty there after the second set. He is not walking well,

:56:15.:56:20.

Murray, but that has been the case all week. We saw it last week in

:56:21.:56:29.

practice. When he is walking... Remember Ken rose water, he looked

:56:30.:56:35.

tired and he got to the finals of Wimbledon. Once he gets on the move

:56:36.:56:45.

he is fine. In his first round match, wobbly, and once the point

:56:46.:56:50.

started he was perfectly fine and afterwards he said, maybe I have a

:56:51.:56:56.

funny walk! Maybe that is just what it is. Murray having a walkabout but

:56:57.:57:13.

giving a long look at Fabio Fognini. The injury time-out coming to an

:57:14.:57:18.

end. He is putting his sock back on. One thing for Murray to keep agile,

:57:19.:57:26.

to keep warm, it should not be hard to keep warm. Sometimes if you wait

:57:27.:57:32.

1015 minutes everything changes, especially if you sit down. He has

:57:33.:57:40.

not done that. He is only a single break down.

:57:41.:58:00.

Murray racing to the other side. In the mood now.

:58:01.:58:21.

Fognini is challenging the call. The ball was called out. It can't have

:58:22.:58:29.

been too far away. The call stands. Three break points for a set in

:58:30.:59:05.

break and surely the set. Fognini has one challenge remaining.

:59:06.:59:16.

It is difficult to know how effective he is in his movement

:59:17.:59:26.

because he did not move. It is a roller-coaster when you watch

:59:27.:59:33.

Fognini. It is unfortunate. He seemed to be getting his act

:59:34.:59:36.

together and playing with confidence and it has all gone. Ending this set

:59:37.:59:51.

like he did the first. Good from Murray. Takes the stress out of this

:59:52.:00:02.

set. One less thing to worry about. He is getting no luck either. We

:00:03.:00:07.

will wait and see what he does early in the four. Hope he does more of

:00:08.:00:10.

the same. Murray playing much faster, much

:00:11.:01:23.

more intensity. Focused. Murray is challenging. Again, it looked close.

:01:24.:01:31.

It was definitely close. It could have caught the back of the line. It

:01:32.:01:41.

stands. Murray has one challenge remaining. Waiting for married to

:01:42.:01:49.

stop that -- start throwing in some drop shots. We anticipate that will

:01:50.:01:58.

happen in the fourth set. Set point. Yeah the end of the third set very

:01:59.:02:33.

like the end of the first. Murray leads two sets to one. I think the

:02:34.:02:44.

large section of the crowd is as relieved as Murray is. JOHN MCENROE:

:02:45.:02:54.

It's literally just what the doctor ordered. Murray did exactly the

:02:55.:02:58.

right thing, upped his intensity level, as he needed to do. Showed

:02:59.:03:02.

some fight and looked to engage the crowd. Turned out he didn't have to.

:03:03.:03:12.

BORIS BECKER: That affects the opponent. He wants to raise

:03:13.:03:15.

everything he can, including the crowd. It's affecting you and

:03:16.:03:21.

Fognini is struggling with that. Sure the ankle may hurt a little

:03:22.:03:26.

bit, but mostly it's the fans of Murray and the whole situation got

:03:27.:03:33.

to him a little. He's played well enough and done enough good things.

:03:34.:03:42.

He wants to be able to show people what he's made of. You see the

:03:43.:03:49.

summary, 76% first serves. That tells you the story. Second set, his

:03:50.:03:56.

first serve disappeared for a little bit.

:03:57.:03:59.

Murray out there very quickly before time was called. Again, that's a

:04:00.:04:04.

signal to the opponent, "I'm ready. I'm going to get you now." An

:04:05.:04:12.

important game this one. Let's see what Fognini's got in the locker.

:04:13.:04:18.

Anything he's got now needs to come out here.

:04:19.:04:33.

Still looking a bit ginger on that ankle.

:04:34.:04:56.

Champagne never hurt nobody on a Friday evening. One lady having a

:04:57.:05:13.

sip. SUE BARKER: Just a reminder if you

:05:14.:06:08.

are tuning in expecting to see EastEnders, tonight's episode is now

:06:09.:06:14.

being shown over on BBC Two. So EastEnders is now being shown over

:06:15.:06:22.

on BBC Two. COMMENTATOR: Whenever Fabio Fognini

:06:23.:06:26.

plays it is like a soap opera! It sure is. You talked earlier about

:06:27.:06:31.

why didn't he call the trainer when it first happened. Two games went by

:06:32.:06:34.

and a break of serve, and he talked himself out of the set.

:06:35.:06:52.

Yeah that's going to be the key. If he keeps on serving big, he needs

:06:53.:06:59.

all these free points. Some rally. Interesting that Fognini

:07:00.:07:52.

seemed to be moving OK there. Seemed to be moving very well. Except for

:07:53.:07:58.

that one out of reach, then he started limping again. Tough one to

:07:59.:08:04.

figure out what's going on. The other side, Murray one of the

:08:05.:08:06.

great defensive players. Of any era. Oh, yes. You can see his confidence

:08:07.:08:29.

growing, the movement improving. Trying to intimidate, as well he

:08:30.:08:32.

should at this stage. CHEERING

:08:33.:09:14.

Leon Smith. Davis Cup captain. He and Murray have been instrumental in

:09:15.:09:17.

Great Britain winning the Davis Cup. Unlike the British crowd, applauding

:09:18.:09:41.

a double fault. UMPIRE: Out. That's an unforced

:09:42.:09:57.

error. He could have avoided 0-15. Don't hurt yourself. He knows this

:09:58.:10:26.

guy is on the ropes about to walk the plank, wants to finish him off.

:10:27.:10:31.

With the least amount of stress as possible.

:10:32.:10:48.

I don't see any limitations with Fognini now.

:10:49.:11:14.

That's a glorious shot. Murray didn't do enough with that backhand.

:11:15.:11:25.

He was just bunting it back pretty much. Letting Fognini dictate all

:11:26.:11:27.

these points. UMPIRE: Mr Fognini is challenging

:11:28.:11:44.

the call on the left service line. The ball was called fault.

:11:45.:11:52.

At most he gets a first serve. An unusual challenge.

:11:53.:12:00.

UMPIRE: Call stands. Not going his way generally through this match.

:12:01.:12:12.

There's life left in this match that's for sure. He's not ready to

:12:13.:12:18.

lie down yet is Fabio Fognini. You get the feeling that Fognini has got

:12:19.:12:27.

another trick or two up his sleeve. Centre Court of Wimbledon maybe he

:12:28.:12:30.

doesn't feel like he would be here again. You've got to dig deep in the

:12:31.:12:34.

well mentally. I think you're right, John. Yeah, he hasn't shown us

:12:35.:12:40.

nearly all the tricks. Sprinting pretty well during the

:12:41.:12:53.

point and lipping over to the chair. Murray's pretty good at that

:12:54.:13:02.

himself. Tennis players have got to be act actors at times! We can't let

:13:03.:13:09.

everybody know how we feel. This is a stage and we want to entertain.

:13:10.:13:15.

CHEERING You always looked super confident

:13:16.:13:19.

Boris, but I expect there were moments when you weren't. Trust me,

:13:20.:13:24.

I didn't feel like it all the time. It's just part of the job.

:13:25.:13:34.

Ultimately you want to win, you want to win the last point, but there are

:13:35.:13:36.

many ways to get there. Fognini really taking chances now.

:13:37.:14:17.

Stepping on the baseline, taking the ball early.

:14:18.:14:21.

Missed that serve by a mile. Stress is returning to the Murray box and

:14:22.:15:04.

the crowd. The crowd sensing it. Murray giving a couple of comments

:15:05.:15:10.

to his box. Fognini doesn't want to associate

:15:11.:15:36.

himself with that shot. A sea of nerves, start utilising the drop

:15:37.:15:39.

shot, trying to force Fognini forward and out of his comfort zone.

:15:40.:15:43.

Get him to run. See if he's got the will to do that.

:15:44.:15:53.

If he serves like that, he may not have to worry.

:15:54.:15:59.

He's served pretty well when he's had to.

:16:00.:16:00.

Not in the second set. Getting Fognini on the move. There

:16:01.:16:21.

-- move there. Oh, it's the game.

:16:22.:16:37.

UMPIRE: Game Murray. Watch him closely.

:16:38.:16:47.

Did he say "visible" obscenity? Audible obscenity. Not that we

:16:48.:16:53.

wanted to pick it up, but this man did. Fognini is going to have a

:16:54.:17:02.

word. See if we can pick this up.

:17:03.:17:18.

He's going to leave it there. I thought there might be more of an

:17:19.:17:24.

eruption there. Maybe it's fatherhood that has

:17:25.:17:36.

quietened him down. It's brewing. Something is going to come out

:17:37.:17:37.

eventually. OK. Did you hear what he said to the

:17:38.:17:53.

umpire? Why don't the mics work? I think it was a gesture with his

:17:54.:17:58.

finger. So it was a visible obscenity. That's what I thought he

:17:59.:18:00.

said. I think I picked tup, but I'm not

:18:01.:18:06.

going to say it. Again Murray gets the luck.

:18:07.:18:24.

Fognini gets the apology, but he'd rather have the luck.

:18:25.:18:35.

His talent is being tested right now.

:18:36.:18:42.

That ankle was tested there. Doesn't look like the ankle's a problem!

:18:43.:19:17.

In case you heard, the audible obscenity, which we're not sure was

:19:18.:19:22.

uttered, we apologise. Apparently it was a heck of a tape

:19:23.:19:57.

job! He seems to be moving freely now, that is for sure.

:19:58.:20:09.

Always been one heck of a shot maker. How cool was he there,

:20:10.:20:18.

Fognini? This match is on fire now. It's lighting up beautifully on a

:20:19.:20:23.

Friday night. That's why all these fans come to

:20:24.:20:26.

Wimbledon to see spectacle! UMPIRE: Mr Fognini is challenging

:20:27.:20:45.

the call on the right service line. The ball was called fault. He's got

:20:46.:20:51.

a couple of challenges left. He's going to lose another one here? Yes.

:20:52.:21:01.

He's got to be careful, in all sorts of ways.

:21:02.:21:25.

CHEERING I was going to say - you should know

:21:26.:21:34.

better than anyone, John, but in Melbourne that time, you got it

:21:35.:21:35.

wrong. First drop shot just wasn't good at

:21:36.:21:46.

all. He got lucky here. What a match, what an atmosphere we

:21:47.:22:08.

have here. SUE BARKER: It's got everything on

:22:09.:22:20.

Centre Court at the moment, hasn't it? If you are tuning in expecting

:22:21.:22:25.

to see EastEnders, that is now being shown over on BBC Two. So,

:22:26.:22:30.

EastEnders is now on BBC Two because we're not going anywhere. We're

:22:31.:22:38.

staying here on Centre Court. COMMENTATOR: Just a few words of

:22:39.:22:42.

advice maybe from Fabio Fognini to the umpire. In French. Fabio is

:22:43.:22:50.

fluent in French, English. The umpire is from France. They know

:22:51.:23:02.

each other from the tour. Now he's back to Italian. A bit of French

:23:03.:23:11.

there. You said we hadn't heard the last of it. He's just getting going.

:23:12.:23:22.

I mention the ?21,000 fine he had in 2014. The year before, he was fined

:23:23.:23:26.

another $10,000 for damaging the court.

:23:27.:23:40.

Once you get an Italian talking... They hardly stop. Said with

:23:41.:23:46.

knowledge, Boris! Out of nowhere. He looks fairly

:23:47.:24:01.

relaxed out there, doesn't he? What happened to foot work?

:24:02.:24:16.

Overrated. Baseline winners, Fognini 23, Murray

:24:17.:24:25.

2. There are a lot of staunch patriates

:24:26.:24:59.

here, but I think Fognini has got a portion of the crowd with him. They

:25:00.:25:01.

love his antics. Not that they want him to win. They

:25:02.:25:05.

just love watching him. I tell you one thing, he's got easy

:25:06.:25:41.

power and he makes it look effortless. He lulls you into this

:25:42.:25:47.

sort of exchange with those slices then he just rips the ball. You

:25:48.:25:51.

loved that Boris? Beautiful shot making. Without much effort.

:25:52.:26:27.

If he moved his feet, he might have made it. I'll let you two tell him.

:26:28.:26:38.

Nah. Don't let us two get in the middle of it.

:26:39.:26:50.

He called a fault. He is being challenged.

:26:51.:28:02.

Huge relief. Second serve return miss on break point. That could be

:28:03.:28:14.

costly. Wrong shot, what do you think? Well,

:28:15.:28:34.

it's easy to be the back seat driver. I expected this to happen

:28:35.:28:38.

sooner, more often to test him earlier in the set. Stressful

:28:39.:28:43.

moments. You haven't tried it really the entire match. Wrong shot.

:28:44.:28:50.

A round about way of putting it. -- putting it.

:28:51.:29:08.

UMPIRE: Mr Murray is challenging the call. He's challenging but surely

:29:09.:29:15.

that was long. That is stress.

:29:16.:29:27.

So unlike Murray. He normally deals with these situations so well. Does

:29:28.:29:39.

he? How often is he in these situations? I mean, don't forget

:29:40.:29:44.

their head-to-head is three all. He's taking like 20 minutes...

:29:45.:30:00.

COMMENTATOR: He's asking for him to be - Getting testy out there. Get

:30:01.:30:04.

the stop watch going, he's saying. SUE BARKER: If you are tuning in for

:30:05.:30:22.

the scheduled programme Count Arthur Strong that will be shown on BBC

:30:23.:30:30.

Two. We are staying here with the tennis.

:30:31.:30:44.

It was a lot of fun, it has been a lot of fun for the two hours and ten

:30:45.:30:50.

minutes. Now the crowd are getting anxious. And the players. So is

:30:51.:30:52.

Murray. Looks like his touch has gone.

:30:53.:31:09.

Hopefully only temporarily. Fognini holds to love. It is 5-2.

:31:10.:31:40.

It's gotten totally bizarre out there. It's hard to make it up. It's

:31:41.:31:52.

almost you feel like it was a strategy that he went away in the

:31:53.:31:56.

third set, looked like he wasn't moving at all. Didn't know what he

:31:57.:32:05.

could do or how badly injured or his mental, what percentage, no-one

:32:06.:32:09.

knew. Then all of a sudden he goes out there and he just seems to be

:32:10.:32:13.

toying with Murray's head at the moment. It got to him. Exactly. It

:32:14.:32:17.

really affected him. He lost his temper there a little bit. He

:32:18.:32:20.

complained to the umpire that Fognini is taking too long to serve.

:32:21.:32:26.

He's in a dog fight now. That is why he is a Wimbledon

:32:27.:32:38.

champion. The sun is setting. Is it setting on his Wimbledon in 2017 in

:32:39.:32:48.

he needs to regroup. UMPIRE: Time. It is still light

:32:49.:32:55.

enough to see. If that goes into the fifth set, they might have to close

:32:56.:32:59.

the roof and put some lights on. That is true. It is a possibility.

:33:00.:33:05.

What, 45 minutes to an hour down the road? A lot can happen in that

:33:06.:33:09.

period of time. Yes. And we are showing this -- sure

:33:10.:33:12.

in this match a lot will happen. Seven doubles, usual for Murray to

:33:13.:33:57.

serve that many. Great return! And it sets upset

:33:58.:34:38.

point for Fabio Fognini. Set point for Fabio Fognini.

:34:39.:35:14.

Murray's movement is starting to look a bit more awkward. I don't

:35:15.:35:18.

know if that hip, if it is starting to play up now, there are moments

:35:19.:35:20.

when he does look in pain. It is more a mental thing. Even more

:35:21.:35:50.

so the first serve of Murray is key right now.

:35:51.:36:10.

The Italian does it with style right now. He is feeling it right now. I

:36:11.:36:29.

tell you who is loving being on Centre Court and it's not Murray.

:36:30.:36:59.

Still orchestrating the whole thing. He has them on the edge of their

:37:00.:37:07.

feet. What can he do next? His physical trainer, is he looking

:37:08.:37:08.

closely at the movement of Murray? Other than the first serve Murray

:37:09.:37:30.

has no other way of getting any free points.

:37:31.:37:39.

It is Fognini dictating. A lot of the time.

:37:40.:37:59.

The Roman emperor, doing his stuff. Set point to take us into a fifth

:38:00.:38:20.

set. It was called out. Is he going to

:38:21.:39:19.

cadge it? Yes, he is going to challenge it. He wasn't sure if it

:39:20.:39:23.

was the crowd that called it out, but there was a line judge who also

:39:24.:39:30.

called out. The linesman called it in and the umpire overruled. Oh

:39:31.:39:36.

right. Out it was. And now, Fognini is out of

:39:37.:39:39.

challenges. Up advantage Murray.

:39:40.:39:42.

-- UMPIRE: Advantage Murray. Mr Fognini

:39:43.:39:46.

has no more challenges. UMPIRE: Game, Murray.

:39:47.:40:00.

How much to buy a challenge? LAUGHTER

:40:01.:40:04.

. Murray only has one. He couldn't give him any. So let us see how he

:40:05.:40:12.

likes serving for this set. UMPIRE: Fourth set.

:40:13.:40:24.

Always looks cool on the outside. How does he feel?

:40:25.:40:57.

That is some shot, the hands, the feel, the touch he's got. He is

:40:58.:41:03.

phenomenal Fognini. All the tricks are coming out now.

:41:04.:41:09.

He is incredible. Well done.

:41:10.:41:39.

The walk is getting increasingly pained.

:41:40.:41:43.

As is the score line. He can afford a double fault.

:41:44.:42:22.

UMPIRE: Please... The crowd is really getting into it now.

:42:23.:42:32.

Too good. Didn't seem to be too many nerves

:42:33.:42:40.

flying round there. So o two more set points.

:42:41.:43:04.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Good job by both players. Fognini

:43:05.:43:15.

keeping the pressure on. He is feeling it, that's for sure.

:43:16.:43:24.

UMPIRE: Please. He just lost the point. He can't

:43:25.:43:46.

challenge. He did say challenge. And then realised he made a mistake. He

:43:47.:43:49.

doesn't have any channels. LAUGHTER

:43:50.:43:55.

. We have until the end of this. We

:43:56.:44:01.

have now officially seen it all. Or maybe not. I think it was in.

:44:02.:44:06.

UMPIRE: Thank you. Players are ready.

:44:07.:44:33.

Now Murray is on the ropes and responding.

:44:34.:45:01.

?LINEBREAK UMPIRE: Game Murray. Excellent from Murray.

:45:02.:45:06.

?LINEBREAK UMPIRE: New balls please. Murray finds something extra. There

:45:07.:45:29.

is no way Murray should still be in this set after that the last couple

:45:30.:45:33.

of games. How many set points? Five, six? Two on each game but there was

:45:34.:45:40.

a lot of them, I know that. Wow!

:45:41.:45:49.

Didn't he respond in style, as he so often does. Now what? Yes, he better

:45:50.:46:01.

not waste this. I haven't seen that often Murray

:46:02.:46:06.

sitting down and still raising his fist towards Fognini's walking by.

:46:07.:46:15.

It's just been... So you can strut up and say too bad. I understand

:46:16.:46:19.

they are going to assess the light soon. To check

:46:20.:46:25.

whether, if this does go to another set, they are going to change

:46:26.:46:29.

things. There is mum, you can understand what she's going through

:46:30.:46:34.

right now. She looks cool, calm and collected.

:46:35.:46:36.

I'm not so sure about that! How's that for a point?

:46:37.:47:42.

Unbelievable. His mental stamina was so impressive.

:47:43.:47:50.
