:04:12. > :04:15.expected to shine. Last year, I started to have the belief that I
:04:16. > :04:21.could do that and that I could win here. But at the beginning of my
:04:22. > :04:26.career was a struggle for me here. When I was having problems with my
:04:27. > :04:31.back on clay, I never really thought that it would ever happen for me
:04:32. > :04:37.here. It is a familiar enemy for Andy Murray tomorrow in the shape of
:04:38. > :04:40.Novak Djokovic. But Murray beat him to win the Italian Open recently and
:04:41. > :04:46.will hope to continue that form here on Centre Court tomorrow. He's
:04:47. > :04:48.already been successful in Paris -- there has already been success for
:04:49. > :04:54.all Gordon Reid today, who defended his wheelchair doubles title.

:05:36. > :05:40.East. Not a cold night, just a bit chilly for some rural parts. Into
:05:41. > :05:45.tomorrow and we do it all again. Another lovely day with plenty of
:05:46. > :05:50.long spells of unbroken sunshine. Feeling warm in the sunshine with
:05:51. > :05:52.highs of 24 to 25 Celsius. That may trigger some showers. Cooler towards
:05:53. > :05:54.the North and East. And that's all from
