:00:44. > :00:55.The Williams sisters have been breaking records for many years. At
:00:56. > :01:07.34, Serena has her sights on grand slam title number 22. What a year it
:01:08. > :01:21.it has been. She always dreamt of being a champion. Serena Williams is
:01:22. > :01:34.the Open champion. Serena Williams has won the French Open. Serena
:01:35. > :01:47.Williams is Wimbledon champion. More tennis history for Serena Williams.
:01:48. > :01:56.Arguably the greatest ever. Serena is playing in her 26th final. Up
:01:57. > :02:02.against the world number one who claims she is laying her best tennis
:02:03. > :02:06.ever and she has never lost a final in Melbourne, winning six titles. We
:02:07. > :02:09.will have highlights of that final coming up and it really is something
:02:10. > :02:13.special. As a bonus, we will coming up and it really is something
:02:14. > :02:22.high in lights of the Men's Doubles final featuring Jamie Murray and his
:02:23. > :02:27.partner, Suarez. That is later on. First, the ladies fine and Serena
:02:28. > :02:37.Williams hoping to make history. She is one behind Steffi Graf who won
:02:38. > :02:43.her 22nd total back in 1989. Her form in this Championship made her
:02:44. > :02:50.the overwhelming favourite and there was a question over how Kerber would
:02:51. > :02:57.handle the occasion. A number of errors from Serena in the first set
:02:58. > :02:58.and Kerber up was one of the great retrievers and took advantage of
:02:59. > :03:19.that. He/she is a set point at 5-4. What a start and this caught
:03:20. > :03:23.everybody by surprise. She takes the opening set. Serena had to dig deep
:03:24. > :03:31.and she fired herself up in the second set. Roaring herself on after
:03:32. > :03:37.every win and her game improved. Winning it 6-3. Now it is level at
:03:38. > :03:42.one set all and the tennis was just getting better and better. We can
:03:43. > :03:44.join the match at the start of the third set with our commentators John
:03:45. > :04:35.Lloyd and Andrew Castle. ANDREW CASTLE: Certainly an
:04:36. > :04:50.advantage to serve first. If she can hold.
:04:51. > :04:55.JOHN LLOYD: Variation on the serve their from Kerber. The natural left
:04:56. > :06:21.serve. Their coach will be delighted with
:06:22. > :06:25.that, as are most of the people in the arena. It is not that they are
:06:26. > :06:26.cheering against Serena Williams, they are cheering for an excellent
:06:27. > :06:32.final and that is what they they are cheering for an excellent
:06:33. > :06:36.got. They know Serena Williams, with 21 Grand Slams and this fearsome
:06:37. > :06:44.presence, the most superb player. She was coming into this final a
:06:45. > :06:50.heavy odds on favourite but Kerber has demonstrated the strength of
:06:51. > :06:52.character. Very good start to the final set for her. It will be a
:06:53. > :07:32.relief. Certainly been a mixture, her
:07:33. > :07:34.forehand today. Some impressive winners but a lot of errors. That is
:07:35. > :08:18.a simple shot for her. Technique, and folly is not great on
:08:19. > :08:25.the backhand. -- on the volley. That is a very fine anticipation. She
:08:26. > :08:27.flaps at this. It is not firm. She drops the Hackett -- the racket head
:08:28. > :09:27.on the wrist. CHEERING Did she cover some court
:09:28. > :09:35.there! You see some of the reason why Serena Williams hasn't thoughts
:09:36. > :09:38.-- thought quite so clearly. She has to get that extra ball to get past
:09:39. > :10:13.Kerber. Three or four extra balls. That is rugged. She has broken her
:10:14. > :10:19.to love. Last year's final with Serena versus Maria Sharapova was
:10:20. > :10:25.quite spectacular in its shotmaking. This is even better. Love the way
:10:26. > :10:30.she talked that forehand on the rise there before Serena had a chance to
:10:31. > :10:31.get back into court position. A beautiful game she played there.
:10:32. > :10:55.Really aggressive, solid. Heart rate takes a while to come
:10:56. > :11:21.down after the rally that they had. Fantastic response from William
:11:22. > :11:27.Williams. Still puffing hard, both players after that rally. The
:11:28. > :11:40.ability to recover quickly, which is the
:11:41. > :11:48.You could see Williams moving to cover the serve down the middle and
:11:49. > :11:50.that is where the natural spin of a lefty serve takes you. Once again,
:11:51. > :12:27.went behind her. Excellent response. Twice in her career she has
:12:28. > :12:58.four Grand Slams at the same time. Remarkable presence on court.
:12:59. > :13:06.And it is a break straight back. Serena Williams with a fearsome blow
:13:07. > :15:00.on the backhand side. We are back on serve in this decider.
:15:01. > :15:08.A first-time grand slam final. A competitive German player. Heavily
:15:09. > :15:47.favoured. APPLAUSE. This was a tough shot.
:15:48. > :15:51.Perhaps a little bit more conservative than she would normally
:15:52. > :16:02.be on that drive volley because she has missed a feud today. She has
:16:03. > :16:21.enjoyed missing -- hitting those targets.
:16:22. > :16:33.Serena Williams, 21 grand slam titles. In the open area when...
:16:34. > :16:53.Steffi Graf with 22 titles. We don't think much about that
:16:54. > :16:57.because these players are so great but she will be feeling extra
:16:58. > :17:03.pressure going for this record to equal Steffi Graf. The tough top
:17:04. > :17:07.players, they like breaking records. They may say one match at a time,
:17:08. > :17:13.but deep down, she once this desperately. It puts the pressure on
:17:14. > :17:15.and that is why she lost the US Open last year in the semifinals. The
:17:16. > :17:46.occasion just got to her. A point she made after losing in the
:17:47. > :17:50.semifinal. I have one despite this. Four of the five Grand Slams. Let's
:17:51. > :17:55.keep it in perspective and be thankful.
:17:56. > :19:29.Again, it is the approach as much as the volley. You talk about the
:19:30. > :19:34.volley and the technique. She is way too upright on those follies. The
:19:35. > :19:40.eyes should be level with the ball on the volleys. We see how high she
:19:41. > :19:43.is on that one. That is the third or fourth one that she has messed. --
:19:44. > :20:40.missed. So good. That point setup with a
:20:41. > :21:10.return of serve which was awesome. This is a big point right here.
:21:11. > :21:15.Second serve, not much on it at all. Serena Williams had so much time
:21:16. > :21:38.there. Good effort. Kerber keeps her nose
:21:39. > :22:52.in front in this decider. Playing well. 3-2, final set.
:22:53. > :23:06.And enthralling Australian Open final. Andy Murray is playing on
:23:07. > :23:11.Sunday morning. This match final. Andy Murray is playing on
:23:12. > :23:21.fabulous to watch. First set one bike Kerber. Serena Williams made
:23:22. > :23:51.far fewer errors in the second set. -- first set one by Kerber.
:23:52. > :24:29.Off balance there. Not moving her feet. Trying to attack too early.
:24:30. > :24:39.APPLAUSE. To hit to the Williams backhand voluntarily is a dangerous
:24:40. > :24:44.thing. That is the retrieval from the backhand down the line. The
:24:45. > :24:47.forehand finishing. It the backhand down the line. The
:24:48. > :25:12.backhand that caused the damage their from Serena.
:25:13. > :25:25.there. It is the approach shot. It wasn't good enough. It is easy from
:25:26. > :25:34.here. This woman, Kerber, she will make the ground. Just off the top of
:25:35. > :25:38.the net. Ouch. Annoying. That is why the photographers can't get enough
:25:39. > :26:10.of Serena Williams. What a charismatic athlete she is.
:26:11. > :26:17.That is the side. Aiming at the forehand right now. If Kerber has a
:26:18. > :26:19.chance to do so, she should probably go there. It draws an error and here
:26:20. > :27:33.is a moment. Just fantastic court coverage. And
:27:34. > :27:36.those 67.9 metres but Kerber ram air, they weren't in one straight
:27:37. > :28:05.line. Start, stop, start, stop! Wonderful. That is a matchplay.
:28:06. > :28:13.Amazing that she hasn't made a first serve in this game. She really needs
:28:14. > :28:17.it. A big ace goes down. So glad that we have this final to finish
:28:18. > :28:46.the Championships. Best match of the tournament.
:28:47. > :28:55.APPLAUSE. That short angle return has brought reward time and time
:28:56. > :28:59.again. This one here. Serena drawn in because the ball was short and
:29:00. > :29:07.that approach, nowhere near good enough. The backhand volley just not
:29:08. > :29:10.firm on it. Floats up in the air and Kerber had plenty of time to hit the
:29:11. > :29:38.next passing shot. That is strong, strong second serve.
:29:39. > :29:44.That is pretty gutsy. The way she hit that, that will shoulder height.
:29:45. > :29:49.Very deep and she made it look easy. I'm not even sure whether she quite
:29:50. > :30:06.meant that, to be honest. What a point.
:30:07. > :30:35.Three break points are saved. Now a game point for her.
:30:36. > :30:46.Yes, indeed. Whatever turn all serve to start with. That was a big
:30:47. > :30:56.server. -- what a return of serve. This game is a big contest. Why not.
:30:57. > :31:30.How well did she disguise that drop shot?
:31:31. > :32:19.The first signs of tension there. Angelique Kerber, she has played so
:32:20. > :32:25.well. In the rally, no problem. This was the worst shot she has it all
:32:26. > :32:38.match. These grass courts, you get a bad bounce.
:32:39. > :32:48.Had a good chance there. Again, not a good approach shot. Firm, but you
:32:49. > :33:21.would still have fancied Kerber to have made Serena volley on that one.
:33:22. > :33:34.Fantastic. The depth on those ground strokes. Margaret Court, full-time.
:33:35. > :33:40.Grand Slam, total leader. A wonderful player. A serve and volley
:33:41. > :33:45.and a superb athlete, a player who could play with such a righty. And
:33:46. > :33:50.this is what this is, this is throwing in something completely
:33:51. > :33:55.different. At the unexpected moment. What a game of this is. -- what a
:33:56. > :34:28.game this is. Fifth double fault for Williams. A
:34:29. > :34:34.fifth break point of this game. Two double faults in this game alone.
:34:35. > :34:44.She knows how important this game is.
:34:45. > :34:53.And it is away on the forehand side. Kerber breaks. And she has new
:34:54. > :35:00.tennis balls, whether that favours her or not it will help her first
:35:01. > :35:14.serve. Two games away from a massive upset.
:35:15. > :35:19.Wouldn't necessarily have picked this at the end of the second set
:35:20. > :35:27.when Serena cut out the errors and calmed down. A tremendous effort
:35:28. > :36:28.from Kerber. We expect a response from Serena Williams.
:36:29. > :36:31.She is literally lying on the floor trying to get this point. This is
:36:32. > :37:19.wonderful. Like Radwanska, Well well. The dropped shots that
:37:20. > :37:22.helped break Serena Williams' serve in the previous game, that variety
:37:23. > :37:26.and determination has taken her to a 5-2 lead. She is a game away from
:37:27. > :38:32.winning the Australian Open. Phenomenal fighting spirit from
:38:33. > :38:39.Angelique Kerber. The crowd rises for both players. The Australian
:38:40. > :38:46.Open Women's Singles championship comes to a close. We might be just
:38:47. > :38:55.four points away. Kerber has taken the lead in this designer. Serena
:38:56. > :39:00.Williams, serving to stay in it. Not new balls this time, although they
:39:01. > :39:04.were the previous game. A bit of a smile. Six Australian Open finals
:39:05. > :39:25.she has been in, never lost one. Well, well. I wonder if she has lost
:39:26. > :39:29.concentration a little bit. This is all tension. It is amazing, even the
:39:30. > :39:37.great ones, and she is maybe the greatest of all time, they can get
:39:38. > :39:46.tight in these situations. Chasing this record, to catch Steffi Graf.
:39:47. > :40:01.She cannot release the tension at the moment.
:40:02. > :40:46.That will help. Tremendous credit to Kerber, who is just not missing.
:40:47. > :40:52.Two well measured points here from Serena Williams. Not rushing, taking
:40:53. > :41:06.your time, getting set up. Attacking on the right ball at the right time.
:41:07. > :41:39.She has really struggled with her first serve today.
:41:40. > :41:50.Just brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
:41:51. > :42:00.Joanna Konta probably watching this, the semifinalists, losing to
:42:01. > :42:28.potentially the champion. Two points away my Kerber.
:42:29. > :42:31.If Serena Williams get out of this, the first couple of points in the
:42:32. > :42:57.next game will be interesting. And she does get out of the game.
:42:58. > :43:06.Well done. Kerber will serve for an Australian Open. And she will be
:43:07. > :43:10.nervous. If anybody knows those nerves it is Serena Williams. To
:43:11. > :43:22.think that Kerber was a match point down in the first round against the
:43:23. > :43:25.Japanese player. Serena Williams, she has twice held this trophy above
:43:26. > :44:28.head, saving match point now. But was generous. -- that was
:44:29. > :44:37.generous. Both players wearing the tension at
:44:38. > :45:03.the moment. That is absolutely brilliant. That
:45:04. > :45:07.is the weaker side. By far the weakest sides today. And on a crunch
:45:08. > :45:11.point like this, she has enough faith in our ability to hit three
:45:12. > :45:22.forehands in a role like that, finishing with a winner. That is
:45:23. > :45:55.what it is all about. -- in a row. A very close serve, that.
:45:56. > :46:01.That is a superb return of serve. What a game from Serena Williams.
:46:02. > :46:08.Kerber can look back on that and say, well, I did OK. The net call on
:46:09. > :46:12.the first point from Serena Williams, but she deserved a break.
:46:13. > :47:24.That is two the games in a row for her. -- two games.
:47:25. > :47:35.The crowd in the Rod Lehrer arena rightly claiming both players here.
:47:36. > :47:39.Angelique Kerber had a claim for the final set, she served and was
:47:40. > :47:42.broken. Serena Williams must hold again to keep her chances alive, to
:47:43. > :48:58.keep the match going. Two errors at the net. Opening up
:48:59. > :50:16.this game. Kerber, two points away again.
:50:17. > :50:30.Superb. What a point from both women.
:50:31. > :50:38.Kerber, hanging in here somehow at this point. Serena Williams, just
:50:39. > :51:30.refusing to mess and exploding on that last backhand. What a point.
:51:31. > :51:40.Magnificent. That started with a second serve that heads the line.
:51:41. > :51:43.Magnificent. That started with a And then it just carried on. -- hit
:51:44. > :51:50.the line. A breathtaking tennis from both players again. Kerber has done
:51:51. > :51:51.nothing wrong here from 0-30. Williams has been absolutely
:51:52. > :52:40.brilliant. Three point in a row. Gerber has stayed in the present so
:52:41. > :52:46.well. She could have been overwhelmed at the third set. --
:52:47. > :52:49.Kerber. She could have been overawed in the first set at the prospect of
:52:50. > :53:44.playing Serena Williams but not a bit of it.
:53:45. > :54:29.It's is away. I can't believe it. That is wonderful for her. One of
:54:30. > :54:41.the great workers on the tour. And this is delightful, too. Generous in
:54:42. > :54:51.defeat. She can't believe it. Look what you have done and done.
:54:52. > :55:03.defeat. She can't believe it. Look and done. That is amazing. Match
:55:04. > :55:09.point down in the first round. Unbelievable. It happens a lot. This
:55:10. > :55:14.is a vindication for work and perseverance, her strength of
:55:15. > :55:18.character. She can't believe it. Nobody in the crowd can believe it,
:55:19. > :55:20.to be quite frank. This is one of the biggest upsets in years. What a
:55:21. > :55:35.performance. When you think of it, she has beaten
:55:36. > :55:41.possibly the greatest player of all time, at 28 years old to win her
:55:42. > :55:48.first grand slam title. A lot of credit to Serena Williams. What a
:55:49. > :55:58.wonderful response, if she had won this match, she would've equalled
:55:59. > :56:00.Steffi Graf, 22 Grand Slams. It is a marvellous moment. Congratulations.
:56:01. > :56:06.You did so well, you really deserved. -- you really deserved it.
:56:07. > :56:17.I am so happy for you and I hope you enjoy this moment. You do deserve
:56:18. > :56:21.it. Congratulations. I would like to thank my team for this past month,
:56:22. > :56:26.it has been really amazing. Thank you for the ride and the journey.
:56:27. > :56:34.And, of course, the crowd. Thank you guys for all the support. It was
:56:35. > :56:36.remarkably fun and I really enjoyed myself this whole time. Thank you
:56:37. > :56:54.very much. A wonderful sportsperson. What about
:56:55. > :56:58.Angie? She had her birthday on the first day of adjournment and saved
:56:59. > :57:06.match point on the second day of the tournament. She is now the world
:57:07. > :57:07.number two and she is also the first German to win a Grand Slam singles
:57:08. > :57:26.title this century. And maybe more than anything, she
:57:27. > :57:31.had to beat a great champion tonight to become a champion herself. And
:57:32. > :57:56.that is what she did. Angelique Kerber.
:57:57. > :58:05.OK. First of all, I would like to say congratulations to Serena. You
:58:06. > :58:11.are really an inspiration for so many people, so many young tennis
:58:12. > :58:16.players, and you have treated history. You are a champion and you
:58:17. > :58:25.are really an unbelievably great person. Congratulations for
:58:26. > :58:33.everything you have done already. When I played here, in the first
:58:34. > :58:40.round, I was actually playing with one leg, on the plane from Germany.
:58:41. > :58:44.But now I am here, I got a second chance and I have taken my chance to
:58:45. > :58:48.be here in the finals, playing against Serena, and I am honoured to
:58:49. > :59:02.be here, and to win. It is my dream come true tonight.
:59:03. > :59:09.You know, my whole life I was working really hard and now I am
:59:10. > :59:13.here and I can say I am the grand slam champion, and it sounds really
:59:14. > :59:23.crazy. Of course, I would like to say thank you to my team, they are
:59:24. > :59:23.crazy. Of course, I would like to supporting me my whole life. My
:59:24. > :59:28.family. You did a really great supporting me my whole life. My
:59:29. > :59:35.and also thank you to my family, supporting me my whole life. My
:59:36. > :59:41.home, my friends. They are at home watching me, on TV right now, I
:59:42. > :59:44.think. You know, sometimes I think I am really not easy but I have the
:59:45. > :59:52.best family, the best team in the world. And I really enjoy this
:59:53. > :00:05.moment right now. And thank you to all of you guys, all my fans around
:00:06. > :00:11.the world. Thank you. Thank you so much. I have been enjoying these two
:00:12. > :00:19.weeks so much. The best two weeks of my career. I am here and you are
:00:20. > :00:23.really the best fans in the world. I can say, thank you for your support.
:00:24. > :00:28.I had goose bumps here on Centre Court when I was playing. See you
:00:29. > :00:36.next year and thank you so much. Thank you. STUDIO: I think she is
:00:37. > :00:43.happy. She talks about as well she plays. What a performance, a new
:00:44. > :00:49.grand Chancellor Grand Slam -- grand slam champion, and what a gracious
:00:50. > :00:53.player in defeat, Serena Williams. A new star is born, and surely more
:00:54. > :00:58.success to come. John Lloyd is here. Looking at the pictures, I do not
:00:59. > :00:59.think she will ever forget this day. It is absolutely wonderful and she
:01:00. > :01:19.showed such courage. What a performance. She played to
:01:20. > :01:25.Serena's forehand. She didn't get nervous at all. She had total belief
:01:26. > :01:35.in herself. What an amazing performance. She lost in the first
:01:36. > :01:43.round at Melbourne yesterday. -- last year. Only 44% of first serves
:01:44. > :01:48.in the third set and very patchy, wasn't she, Serena? Her forehand was
:01:49. > :01:54.terrible by his standards. I believe it is the nerves about the record
:01:55. > :01:59.equalling Steffi Graf. She was impatient and she was trying to get
:02:00. > :02:03.quick reward rather than taking her time and getting into the points.
:02:04. > :02:06.She attacked way too much and got it back
:02:07. > :02:15.All credit to cover but not a great performance by her standards. Serena
:02:16. > :02:20.was caught on the hop. She move so well and Serena was having to play
:02:21. > :02:24.more balls in rallies than she has throughout the tournament. Serena
:02:25. > :02:28.was hitting some of the best shots and Kerber was digging them back
:02:29. > :02:34.somehow forcing Serena to go for a lot more than she has been doing in
:02:35. > :02:40.the tournament. She has looked so good, Serena Williams. I think she
:02:41. > :02:45.took this match, not easy, but she felt her opponent was not going to
:02:46. > :02:50.come at her in a way that she did. Proof that Kerber has a great
:02:51. > :02:55.future. We have highlights of the Men's Doubles coming up in a moment
:02:56. > :03:00.but news that there is another grand slam champion from Scotland who was
:03:01. > :03:09.crowned today. Gordon Reed from Glasgow played in the wheelchair
:03:10. > :03:16.event. It is his first grand slam title and he was congratulated by
:03:17. > :03:21.Andy and Jamie Murray. A great day for him. We set the Men's Doubles
:03:22. > :03:29.are coming up. Jamie Murray is playing with his new partner, Bruno
:03:30. > :03:36.Suarez. Against the very experienced Daniel Nestor and Radek Stepanek.
:03:37. > :03:41.They took the first set and Jamie and Bruno came back. We can join it
:03:42. > :03:56.in the third set. Stepanek is to serve.
:03:57. > :04:05.ANDREW CASTLE: It is still with this pen here. Murray and Soares. They
:04:06. > :04:41.started badly in the first. JOHN LLOYD: Jamie Murray normally
:04:42. > :04:44.times his shots so well. He went a fraction too early. Didn't have
:04:45. > :04:59.enough time to direct it behind him. Shame about the crowd. Wimbledon is
:05:00. > :05:07.the only grand slam where people stay and watch.
:05:08. > :05:46.That was a world time cross. -- well timed cross. He has done that every
:05:47. > :05:50.time when Stepanek has been out into the tramlines. You can see the way
:05:51. > :06:28.he goes there and hits over that. Almost a top-spin volley.
:06:29. > :06:37.Just a little bit conservative there, Jamie Murray, on the volley.
:06:38. > :06:44.Great lob again. Just didn't really do enough. This folly, here, didn't
:06:45. > :06:48.really stick it. Ended up of court. His partner got attacked. They could
:06:49. > :07:16.have done more with that volley. Your partner sometimes plays a
:07:17. > :07:19.suspect point and you have to take control on the next point and help
:07:20. > :07:37.him out. What a return from Soares. That is a bad volley. Got that so
:07:38. > :08:18.late, Nestor. Suarez has been returning so well in
:08:19. > :08:38.the last few games. Stepanek going at it again.
:08:39. > :08:51.Jamie Murray ready to pounce. Jamie is going to be twitching and looking
:08:52. > :09:00.for this one. See that move that Merry maids? Excellent return.
:09:01. > :09:02.Stepanek couldn't handle it on the half-volley. It is a break and they
:09:03. > :09:08.are on their way here. We will move it on. Here is Jamie
:09:09. > :09:38.serving for the title. That is a horrible start. It was
:09:39. > :09:45.well done and hats off to an Nestor and Stepanek. Also a first-time
:09:46. > :09:53.grand slam pairing. The forehand was a bit unlucky. Just slowed the pace
:09:54. > :09:59.up. Horrible when you are serving for it.
:10:00. > :10:32.Dear, oh dear. Come on. This is where his partner, Soares, might
:10:33. > :10:37.need to do a little crossing here just to take the pressure off.
:10:38. > :10:38.need to do a little crossing here Stepanek will be aware of that.
:10:39. > :11:41.Vastly experienced, Nestor. He did so well to get himself back
:11:42. > :11:45.into that. Both of them dead. You could feel the tightness from all
:11:46. > :11:55.four players in that. They were nudging the ball back hoping. Mind
:11:56. > :12:02.wanders back to when they were 4-2 up. Nestor had the drive volley.
:12:03. > :12:13.They haven't had a break point for donkeys years, these two.
:12:14. > :12:30.Was that going for a winner? His partner is saying, "Duck next time.
:12:31. > :12:50." It hitting in the back. Still a break point.
:12:51. > :13:01.Excellent serve. He was not going to miss that first serve under any
:13:02. > :13:38.circumstances. A false start on the first one, wasn't it?
:13:39. > :13:50.What a point. Fantastic point there. Wide. Match point. Jamie Murray held
:13:51. > :14:00.his nerve there brilliantly. The faithful.
:14:01. > :14:46.From 15-40 down to a championship point up. A set down in this match.
:14:47. > :14:55.What a return of serve. That was a very good serve their from Jamie
:14:56. > :14:59.Murray. Daniel Nestor rarely hasn't made many returns in the last couple
:15:00. > :15:05.of sets and that was probably the best he has hit all match. Came off
:15:06. > :15:32.his firm -- vibration damper as well.
:15:33. > :15:38.Nestor now. Class C volley. Very good return from Stepanek. He made
:15:39. > :16:14.that look so easy. Can you believe it? You think back
:16:15. > :16:22.to the 4-2 game and the break point. You think about the Championship
:16:23. > :16:28.point there. It was a mis-hit, slightly. I am not sure. Jamie
:16:29. > :16:32.Murray started that game poorly. From then onwards, he played very
:16:33. > :16:45.well. He didn't do anything wrong there. Nestor was brilliant.
:16:46. > :16:50.Easy saying the obvious, but you have got to throw away that
:16:51. > :16:56.disappointment. Not so easy to do that when you know you have had
:16:57. > :18:05.match point and lost it. Sleep will not come easy.
:18:06. > :18:12.That is the side that you want to make Jamie Murray play if you can.
:18:13. > :18:22.This is tense, now. They do have tie-breaks in the final
:18:23. > :18:36.set. Who knows whether we will need one
:18:37. > :18:41.of those as Jamie Murray goes across and takes advantage. An excellent
:18:42. > :18:44.return from Soares has been as cool as you like in this game. Showing
:18:45. > :19:37.his partner serenity on the return. That is away and Soares has
:19:38. > :19:40.masterful in the game. Ably supported by Jamie Murray
:19:41. > :19:45.masterful in the game. Ably manages to put his side -- aside his
:19:46. > :19:57.moment. Having served for it, that is brilliant.
:19:58. > :20:10.never played a final together before. This is a grand slam
:20:11. > :20:25.championship. A big moment. That is exactly the draw that Murray
:20:26. > :20:30.does for hours every week. Just picking it that the net. That is
:20:31. > :20:35.what John Lloyd was talking about. Just an angled racket head split and
:20:36. > :20:49.don't try too much. Stay balanced, had behind it.
:20:50. > :20:59.-- head behind it. Three points away. No magic from Nestor on the
:21:00. > :21:35.return this time. This is so tidy from Bruno Suarez.
:21:36. > :22:55.Cool as you like. And that is it! Third time lucky for
:22:56. > :23:01.Jamie Murray. Last year he was a finalist at Wimbledon and the US
:23:02. > :23:06.Open and now a winner, a grand slam Men's Doubles winner to go along
:23:07. > :23:11.with the Davis Cup victory. My goodness, he has put together a
:23:12. > :23:19.career on the doubles court. He champions in Australia. The first
:23:20. > :23:33.Australian title of any title for a Brazilian player. One o'clock in
:23:34. > :23:40.Melbourne. Party time! There will be another Murray next on my court. It
:23:41. > :23:47.is Andy Murray against Novak Djokovic. British tennis owes
:23:48. > :23:50.Scottish tennis match. What a day for Jamie Murray. He becomes the
:23:51. > :23:57.first British man to win the doubles at the Australian Open since 1934.
:23:58. > :24:01.Making history once again. We wondered how good this partnership
:24:02. > :24:06.were going to be. They have won the Grand Slam and surely more to come.
:24:07. > :24:14.What a day for Jamie Murray. His first Men's Doubles grand slam
:24:15. > :24:27.victory. Here is what he had to say. I have to thank my team over there.
:24:28. > :24:38.Louis, or my success has been down to you. You have been here since
:24:39. > :24:46.2007 and I have never given new anything to cheer about until now.
:24:47. > :24:53.And the comic you should be in bed. I don't know why you are here taking
:24:54. > :24:57.photographs. We will prepare to support you tomorrow. My wife is at
:24:58. > :25:05.home working hard to pay the bill so I can travel the world playing
:25:06. > :25:09.sport. She has been with me that the last seven years through good times
:25:10. > :25:11.and bad times. She is my rock and I can't wait to see you when I get
:25:12. > :25:33.home. Thanks, everybody. I agree with Jamie. What is he doing
:25:34. > :25:38.up? He wanted to be there. They are such a close family. His first Men's
:25:39. > :25:42.Doubles grand slam. What a tremendous effort and what a year
:25:43. > :25:46.Jamie has had. And with Andy come he's probably thinking if I haven't
:25:47. > :25:56.watched it, I would be text and I phoned and be anxious about it. He
:25:57. > :26:02.is probably nice and relaxed and in a happy mood. As far as Andy goes,
:26:03. > :26:10.he is playing late tomorrow night and will have a lion. You can see
:26:11. > :26:14.how much it meant to him. There is an opening here for more grand slam
:26:15. > :26:24.titles. There will be a lot of doubles team who think they can take
:26:25. > :26:28.over from the others. What about the ATP finals. You will wonder why he
:26:29. > :26:34.was dropping John Peers and starting with a new partner. Bruno Suarez is
:26:35. > :26:38.a very talented player. I was trying to work out the combinations and
:26:39. > :26:43.didn't think it was a good move. Shows how much I know about it. It
:26:44. > :26:47.was a great move and they have won a Grand Slam together. You can see the
:26:48. > :26:52.way they are combined they are going to win more. Nestor said Jamie
:26:53. > :26:55.Murray, to him, he is the best doubles player around right now
:26:56. > :27:02.because of his hands at the net. There is no one better in doubles.
:27:03. > :27:07.His crosses are better than anybody else's. Getting into the finals of
:27:08. > :27:11.two Grand Slams is big but winning the Davis Cup in those vital
:27:12. > :27:16.matches, we could have lost the ties and he came through playing under a
:27:17. > :27:22.lot of pressure. Playing with his younger brother. You have to go out
:27:23. > :27:27.and do the business, which he did extremely well. Mentally, he is in a
:27:28. > :27:32.position where he thinks he will win all of these matches. So exciting
:27:33. > :27:35.for the Murray family and for us. Andy will be playing tomorrow and he
:27:36. > :27:42.imagined he will be there to support him. Andy has a tough one tomorrow.
:27:43. > :27:47.He has a very tough one. I agree with him about this performance. He
:27:48. > :27:51.has beaten Novak Djokovic before. What has separated him in the last
:27:52. > :27:56.couple of years is Djokovic keeps the mental side going for longer and
:27:57. > :28:00.Andy Murray has dipped a bit. If Andy Murray can stay with him, he
:28:01. > :28:05.will win the match. If he dips, he will not win. Tomorrow, it is Murray
:28:06. > :28:07.against Djokovic. The last match of the tournament. What a way to
:28:08. > :28:20.finish. MUSIC PLAYS. Djokovic will go
:28:21. > :28:24.through to have a crack at his sixth Australian Open title. Famous
:28:25. > :28:31.victory for Andy Murray. He will have a crack at Djokovic again at
:28:32. > :28:35.the final of the Australian Open. It could mean better. The top two
:28:36. > :28:36.players in the world. Novak Djokovic against Andy Murray and you will be
:28:37. > :29:03.up to see that on BBC This is a bit of a turn up. Kerber,
:29:04. > :29:04.first set. I can't believe it. This
