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. | |
Each box, depending on who wins the point is getting up and getting | :47:51. | :47:56. | |
emotional. Getting so involved in it It is a long time... Longest rally | :47:57. | :48:04. | |
of the match, 26 shots. Please get a first serve. | :48:05. | :48:15. | |
That mistake was because of the long rally before. Maybe it was worth a | :48:16. | :48:22. | |
couple of points. And it sets up set point number | :48:23. | :49:07. | |
five. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | :49:08. | :50:57. | |
Sheer will power dragged him back. When he was being badly bruised. | :50:58. | :51:07. | |
Judy can't sit in her chair any more, I don't blame her! | :51:08. | :51:50. | |
APPLAUSE UMPIRE: Advantage Murray. | :51:51. | :52:05. | |
And Kim. They accepts the moment. | :52:06. | :52:12. | |
-- sense the moment. Great serving and Murray hauls him back from 2-5. | :52:13. | :52:27. | |
It is five all. Got the heart of a champion. Very | :52:28. | :52:31. | |
often you would be in a situation where two set points, two set points | :52:32. | :52:36. | |
and set point three consecutive game, now he is back to level. | :52:37. | :52:41. | |
UMPIRE: Please... He will keep the intensity high, what is this guy | :52:42. | :52:43. | |
going to do now? Obviously the momentum has changed | :52:44. | :53:05. | |
now. In favour of Murray. How does Fognini take that? | :53:06. | :53:14. | |
Pretty well by the look of that shot. For a guy who looked or | :53:15. | :53:22. | |
appeared to be struggling with his heel, ankle, he is more than | :53:23. | :53:25. | |
phenomenally well, late into the evening here. | :53:26. | :53:55. | |
Too far behind again. You have to defend the baseline. | :53:56. | :54:02. | |
Chance to take it to Fognini and didn't do it. Pushed back. | :54:03. | :54:42. | |
Right in the corner. I'm not a lip reader, there | :54:43. | :55:47. | |
Right in the corner. I'm | :55:48. | :55:47. | |
Right in the corner. I'm not a lip reader, there's | :55:48. | :55:51. | |
something about "Stop". At this critical moment. Chance | :55:52. | :55:55. | |
Right in the corner. I'm not a lip reader, there's | :55:56. | :55:58. | |
something about "Stop". At this critical moment. "Stop hitting the | :55:59. | :55:59. | |
shots into the corner! ". Up advantage Murray. He's enjoying | :56:00. | :56:19. | |
it. UMPIRE: Game, Murray. Murray dug in, | :56:20. | :57:00. | |
he would not be moved. Four successive games. | :57:01. | :57:04. | |
And he is going to serve for the match. | :57:05. | :57:12. | |
That is why he got a knighthood. Moments like this. | :57:13. | :57:21. | |
I tell you, he showed the heart of a great champion. To stick with it. | :57:22. | :57:25. | |
There could have been a lot of times he could have mentally checked out | :57:26. | :57:29. | |
with what this guy was throwing at him, which was an awful lot. And you | :57:30. | :57:35. | |
are going crazy inside, trying to like, handle what he's throwing at | :57:36. | :57:40. | |
you, tennis wise, what he is doing to you mentally, and to come through | :57:41. | :57:46. | |
with all four of those games he could have lost. Yes he's figured | :57:47. | :57:51. | |
out a way to win them all and serve for the match. | :57:52. | :58:00. | |
UMPIRE: Time. And really defines a champion. It is how you deal with | :58:01. | :58:04. | |
adversity, how you deal with troubles. Anybody can play well, | :58:05. | :58:12. | |
when it is going for you but only very few of us, People standing | :58:13. | :58:17. | |
around the court. One more game. | :58:18. | :58:53. | |
UMPIRE: Game set and match Murray. What a way to finish. | :58:54. | :00:00. | |
UMPIRE: Three sets to one. John, you said earlier on, on the | :00:01. | :00:12. | |
ropes. He was on the ropes there. And he has come back with a knock | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
out blow. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | :00:16. | :00:34. | |
The crowd helped him through, but his sheer will power, when he was | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
being beautifully beaten up for a while, was so crucial. | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
You have to, this crowd had to love this, especially the way it ended, | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
and you had everything, you could possibly ask for, from a technical | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
stand point, from an emotional stand point, from a physical stand point, | :01:03. | :01:03. | |
astounding match. Your thoughts Boris? Most exciting | :01:04. | :01:20. | |
match of the tournament so far, quite something. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
SUE BARKER: What dramatic scenes here on Centre Court and that roar | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
from Andy Murray at the end shows you exactly what it meant to him as | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
well. That was a very difficult opponent, but he has come through, | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
coming back from set point down in that fourth set to win in four. A | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
huge roar from this Centre Court crowd, that once again appreciate | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
this man on Centre Court. We are coming off air now but Claire will | :01:47. | :01:49. | |

story of the day. That is on BBC Two, but from here, goodbye. | :01:56. | :01:56. |
