:00:49. > :00:57.Hello, good afternoon and thanks for Genie in. It has been a big day for
:00:58. > :01:01.British tennis. -- tuning in. World number one Andy Murray has been in
:01:02. > :01:04.action and the first time in 15 years we have had two British men
:01:05. > :01:09.into the fourth round in Melbourne. His friend and Davis Cup team-mate
:01:10. > :01:12.Dan Evans has been enjoying something of a purple patch that
:01:13. > :01:21.while Murray has been favourite for the title Ian Evans's success has
:01:22. > :01:33.come as something of a surprise. The world number one. He could be top
:01:34. > :01:42.20. No doubt a talent. Wimbledon champion again. Dan Evans fired up.
:01:43. > :01:57.Fabulous once again. He definitely believes.
:01:58. > :02:04.Two British players, two very different career paths that both
:02:05. > :02:08.have their sights set on the quarterfinals. Andy Murray had won
:02:09. > :02:13.his only previous meeting with Misha Zverev, straight sets, the
:02:14. > :02:20.29-year-old German field a brother of one of the game's rising stars.
:02:21. > :02:25.But he has had a number of injuries and 2-mac Riesgo found himself
:02:26. > :02:29.outside the top 1000. On paper and easy fourth-round match for Murray
:02:30. > :02:39.and he was serving for the first set but Zverev found himself with a
:02:40. > :02:41.break point. Murray threw away his lead, broken three times in the
:02:42. > :02:46.first set and this is how Zverev closed it out.
:02:47. > :03:32., set he has upped his average speed on first serve today, Zverev.
:03:33. > :03:46.Beautiful shot. Not easy with your back to your opponent. He keeps his
:03:47. > :03:58.eye on the ball at all times. He knows where the yellow thingies. The
:03:59. > :04:06.most important thing is to get back quickly.
:04:07. > :04:22.Forget direction, just go with pace. Legitimate shot and the right one.
:04:23. > :04:27.Three' match points instead of three set points. In your mind? In my
:04:28. > :04:51.mind. Great reaction after a sublime
:04:52. > :04:55.return. He's built a career around those type of shots. And he may well
:04:56. > :05:06.have built a comeback around that particular one.
:05:07. > :05:15.That was good, wasn't it? He has packed his bags, he has had enough.
:05:16. > :05:26.What is going on? Going on a camping trip? Let's look at the highlights.
:05:27. > :05:31.Just so many. It would be tough to edit them in 25 seconds. Completely
:05:32. > :05:35.different Travolta yesterday with his younger brother and Rafa but
:05:36. > :05:48.similar kind of feeling with the amount of highlights.
:05:49. > :05:59.How much did that mean as well. This gives you everything, the agony and
:06:00. > :06:00.ecstasy. STUDIO: Marry on level terms and they went into the third
:06:01. > :06:37.toe to toe. COMMENTATOR: I would like to see Andy hit the
:06:38. > :06:48.shots not like he's tried to hit the winner but more of an approach. You
:06:49. > :06:58.could see Zverev was going to have the chip it back. In trouble again
:06:59. > :07:07.for the second time in this set down 0-30. He is talking now every single
:07:08. > :07:28.point to his box. He just can't stop talking.
:07:29. > :07:47.Amazing return. He has done the of times. Going with pace on the second
:07:48. > :08:20.serve. Zverev laps it up. He was lucky there because it was a
:08:21. > :08:55.blistering return. He is even laughing. Why is that?
:08:56. > :09:05.Stanning. What an exhibition of attacking tennis this has been.
:09:06. > :09:59.Zverev justifiably takes that game. He has tried to get around it, live
:10:00. > :10:32.in through it... for the most part the wall has one.
:10:33. > :10:38.That is a great lob. He is making a lot of returns. Sarah Fuster, with
:10:39. > :10:50.some great first volleys and actually he does. After that he has
:10:51. > :11:00.a tough time passing him. Now he does. Maybe that is the case, no
:11:01. > :11:04.mercy. Andy is returning wrong. All the way through the beginning of
:11:05. > :11:24.this third set down at the break, must feel uncomfortable for him.
:11:25. > :11:33.Hitting it with the same accuracy as he was on the one out wide as well,
:11:34. > :11:34.keeping Murray guessing and as a left-hander that is a huge
:11:35. > :12:03.advantage. He has himself, no more lob. On
:12:04. > :12:17.these follies you can see where it is bouncing, you don't have much
:12:18. > :12:20.choice, do you? What a pick up. He had to hit a clean winner and he
:12:21. > :12:28.did. There was no way he was getting back that time. How quickly he
:12:29. > :12:31.changed direction from moving forward after the serve and going to
:12:32. > :13:00.the left. Bracket still under full control.
:13:01. > :13:19.Looking to return it, Zverev serving well. That is actually a cliche.
:13:20. > :13:19.Andy maybe not at his absolute best but quality tennis, very few
:13:20. > :13:32.missing. Both players challenged at the same
:13:33. > :14:09.time. Andy sees the mark, if you look on
:14:10. > :14:24.the market is wide. You hope it is well calibrated.
:14:25. > :14:33.Murray threw absolutely everything he had Zverev in that game to
:14:34. > :14:38.recover the break. STUDIO: Zverev looking in control at the moment,
:14:39. > :14:41.and they went on to win the third set the
:14:42. > :14:48.. Andy Murray facing his earliest exit from the strainer and in eight
:14:49. > :14:58.years. -- from the Australian Open. COMMENTATOR: Big challenge, first
:14:59. > :15:31.point. He is going to have to pick it up
:15:32. > :15:33.quickly. He is going to have to be ready in the next couple of games.
:15:34. > :16:12.No room for talking. There are two Zverevs and I think
:16:13. > :16:15.Murray today can see two down the other end. He thinks he's playing
:16:16. > :17:37.doubles. It is incredible. How good is that? A big flamboyant
:17:38. > :17:42.winner and the quality of stroke making between the two. Not giving
:17:43. > :18:23.him anything to work with. Just keeps on going where he left
:18:24. > :18:29.off in the third set. What is happening to me, you might well ask.
:18:30. > :18:31.This is not what you told me in practice. I want to know were so
:18:32. > :19:12.badly what he's saying. Fortress Zverev. Great shot from
:19:13. > :19:13.Andy. As I said earlier, just as a magnet, the ball comes flying at
:19:14. > :19:38.him. He has got it. Not enough on the
:19:39. > :19:44.forehand. Just an exhilarating winner to add to the collection. On
:19:45. > :19:50.the Sprint, half-volley passing shot, no backswing, down the line,
:19:51. > :19:53.highest park on the net. Just like he planned it. -- highest part of
:19:54. > :20:03.the net. Opening game of the forthcoming yet
:20:04. > :20:30.another break point. His 17th of the match.
:20:31. > :20:45.What can you say about Mischa Zverev? Whatever Murray has thrown
:20:46. > :20:49.at him he has responded with the absolute right shot. Again, the
:20:50. > :20:56.defensive qualities coupled with the attacking play that we've witnessed
:20:57. > :20:58.today, sensational. STUDIO: Andy Murray on the back foot from the
:20:59. > :21:03.start of the fourth set. Zverev playing some brilliant tennis, could
:21:04. > :21:10.he hold on for the best win of his career? We will go back to the
:21:11. > :21:13.action at 3-4 in the fourth set. COMMENTATOR: It can turn, there is
:21:14. > :21:21.no question about that. Murray has come back from seemingly
:21:22. > :21:28.insurmountable situations before and he has considerable talent at his
:21:29. > :21:32.disposal. And unquenchable desire as well.
:21:33. > :21:46.The ingredients for a comeback still here. But this man has a different
:21:47. > :21:48.outcome planned. And his change-up at times has been spectacularly
:21:49. > :22:04.good. And his calmness, too. Fist bump
:22:05. > :22:09.after every point, he takes them one by one. Try to find out, what should
:22:10. > :22:12.I do on the next point that is coming up? Not to get tangled into
:22:13. > :22:29.emotion, make rational choices. It's all about trying to just gain
:22:30. > :22:40.some traction, but some doubt into Zverev's mind. Not an easy pass,
:22:41. > :22:46.when he has two more chances to break the German.
:22:47. > :22:55.But the German again with the change of direction on serve, I'm sure he
:22:56. > :23:19.has peppered the line again. He just doesn't miss.
:23:20. > :23:31.It was for the taking there. You can see what Andy is doing now. This is
:23:32. > :23:32.his last line of defence. This is mind games, this is whatever it
:23:33. > :24:12.takes. It is within the rules. You have got to be kidding me! No,
:24:13. > :24:17.well... His brother is going to applaud because he needs to just try
:24:18. > :24:19.and get him back into neutral here. And put this miss behind him as
:24:20. > :24:49.quickly as possible. What the recovery. He said in his
:24:50. > :24:54.match against John Isner at the crucial point he looked at his mum,
:24:55. > :25:00.who was just smiling after he made a mistake and said, well if she's
:25:01. > :25:16.smiling it's all OK. Looking at your mum for the next seven minutes.
:25:17. > :25:22.CHEERING That was a wonderful outcome for the
:25:23. > :25:31.German. Having missed that setup or a smash. -- sitter of a smash. It's
:25:32. > :25:42.not supposed to be easy to be the world number one. He is given to
:25:43. > :25:46.have a chance to serve for it. Don't be forward, and he still has the
:25:47. > :26:14.hold right here. He is everywhere, he is just
:26:15. > :26:22.absolutely everywhere. Andy is going to wake up tonight seeing this guy
:26:23. > :26:25.in his dreams. On the inside of his islets. He is ubiquitous. The shrug
:26:26. > :28:06.of his islets. He is not a steady any more, you can
:28:07. > :28:12.soon obviously it is a stretch motion in general but Cole Beasley
:28:13. > :28:13.his arms not as loose any more. I think Murray should try to take
:28:14. > :28:48.advantage of that in the rallies. That is the best way to go forward
:28:49. > :28:49.for Zverev, camouflage it. Taking that aggressive approach and going
:28:50. > :29:22.forward again. He was lucky there. Fastest serve of the tournament. It
:29:23. > :29:59.won't be his last. The way that Zverev is returning, he
:30:00. > :30:05.may not have too served against Dave. That pressure is building on
:30:06. > :30:10.the world number one. -- again today. Look how he stands, inside of
:30:11. > :30:13.the baseline, the moment that he hits his return. It really helps
:30:14. > :30:32.that he gets close to the net on that first volley.
:30:33. > :31:12.If there is a way, Murray has the world... -- has the will.
:31:13. > :31:25.Is that an overrule? He says it is that much out, Andy... You can see
:31:26. > :31:35.it, there. It is out? He can challenge if he wants to... But he
:31:36. > :31:36.only has one left... If he uses the challenge, there is no more. And it
:31:37. > :31:57.is wrong. Interesting to see what a panic it
:31:58. > :32:03.causes to Andy Murray, for this guide chipping in like this, coming
:32:04. > :32:11.in in this state. Kids at home, look at this, carefully. Playing serve
:32:12. > :32:35.and volley, know how to hit that chip return.
:32:36. > :32:45.That is a great class. The volley was not good enough. Andy Murray
:32:46. > :32:56.anticipated it well. The approach was great, down the centre.
:32:57. > :33:37.That is outrageous! He is not done yet. A matchup from his tennis
:33:38. > :33:46.racket, still... He is going to need a lot more coming up. That was
:33:47. > :33:53.supposed to be the easy part. This one was behind him. Like almost a
:33:54. > :33:59.left-handed forehand. Not often you see Andy Murray taking his hand off,
:34:00. > :34:06.as he hits it. He gets his hands there from Ivan. Coming out of her
:34:07. > :34:23.seat, ever present and supportive of her husband. What must Misha 's
:34:24. > :34:30.Zverev be thinking? Andy Murray, looking for inspiration in those
:34:31. > :34:35.notes of his... When he has time to salvage his Australian Open
:34:36. > :34:38.campaign, it has been a long time since the first and second seeds
:34:39. > :34:43.have lost before the quarterfinals in a Grand Slam, you have to go back
:34:44. > :34:57.to 2004. Roland-Garros lost in the third round, and Andy Roddick to
:34:58. > :35:14.Oliver neuters. It's a rare occasion if he knocks him out here...
:35:15. > :35:27.That is a great hit and a great pick-up, he is making his presence
:35:28. > :35:47.felt. Moving around just before. Zverev serving... Look at this...
:35:48. > :36:00.It is going to be a challenge? I think that he has made it. There are
:36:01. > :36:04.no remarks, but given what he missed in the previous came, he could not
:36:05. > :36:09.be feeling confident... -- in the previous game.
:36:10. > :36:21.Somewhere, a half string, a half frame.
:36:22. > :36:37.It is a great return, once again... Down the middle.
:36:38. > :36:41.Even if he is not going to pull this one out... Everything that Andy
:36:42. > :36:54.Murray does to ... That is the most incredible shot
:36:55. > :36:59.of all time. CHEERING
:37:00. > :37:10.APPLAUSE Can you believe this? For all the
:37:11. > :37:27.world, it looked as if he was beaten. Hands down.
:37:28. > :37:41.I cannot believe it. Doing absolutely everything possible.
:37:42. > :37:52.Everything possible so he can't lose. But this man just has the
:37:53. > :38:05.psychic ability at this moment. Look at that! This just brings out the
:38:06. > :38:12.best of everything. This is Big Brother's time. Match points...
:38:13. > :38:20.CHEERING The world's best is out, buy the
:38:21. > :38:29.best performance, that Mischa Zverev has ever produced in his career. You
:38:30. > :38:37.could not be happier for him as well. It is one of those tournaments
:38:38. > :38:46.that has just given so much to all of us. It hasn't given to Andy
:38:47. > :38:52.Murray his Australian Open dream, again. But this man deserves all of
:38:53. > :38:55.the accolades and all of the praise, and all of the respect, for a
:38:56. > :39:09.performance that will be remembered for ages. Andy Murray gave
:39:10. > :39:17.everything he had. Just come on the day, it was not enough. -- on the
:39:18. > :39:36.day, it was not enough. Look at that! This says it all. How
:39:37. > :39:41.did you do it? How did you pull it off? I don't know. I was in a coma,
:39:42. > :39:46.serving throughout! Tell me how I did it! Their way few points where I
:39:47. > :39:53.did not know how to pull it off. I won certain points but somehow, I
:39:54. > :39:56.made it. STUDIO: Mischa Zverev reaches his first-ever Grand Slam
:39:57. > :40:01.quarterfinal, which will take him into the top 40 for the first time.
:40:02. > :40:07.But now, what about Andy Murray? Can you give us some thoughts of
:40:08. > :40:10.McNichol on that match and how Mischa Zverev played against you?
:40:11. > :40:20.Obviously, it was tough. A pretty long one. In hard conditions and
:40:21. > :40:27.Mischa came up with great stuff committee has a style which not many
:40:28. > :40:30.players play these days. He played extremely well, especially at the
:40:31. > :40:35.end of the match. He came up with great stuff. A lot of good volleys,
:40:36. > :40:42.pick-ups, reflexes. He is really good. He deserved to win. But yes, a
:40:43. > :40:48.tough one to lose. You had such an amazing end to the last season, with
:40:49. > :40:52.21 matches unbeaten. Do you have to take the rough with the smooth as a
:40:53. > :40:58.tennis player? Are you good at moving on from defeats like this
:40:59. > :41:04.now? I would say, nowadays, when I was younger it would have been
:41:05. > :41:08.tougher. It was disappointing losing today, for sure. A tough one. One of
:41:09. > :41:13.the biggest events, and one that I've wanted to do better at. But
:41:14. > :41:20.yes, I've got other things in my life now. So, I'm disappointed to
:41:21. > :41:26.lose. But after a great end to last year, I get a bit of time off now,
:41:27. > :41:30.and a break. I will try to learn from it. And try and understand what
:41:31. > :41:37.I could have done a bit better, and improve and come back and try again.
:41:38. > :41:40.STUDIO: Andy Murray sounding low there, and understandably so. He
:41:41. > :41:44.says he has bounced back from disappointment before. A shock in
:41:45. > :41:48.Melbourne, 24 hours after second seed Novak Djokovic was knocked out,
:41:49. > :41:53.the top seed has also gone. The first time since the 2004 French
:41:54. > :42:01.Open that the top two seeds in the minstrel had been beaten before the
:42:02. > :42:05.quarterfinals. -- the mens drawer. Stan Wawrinka safely negotiated his
:42:06. > :42:10.way into the last eight, beating Andreas Seppi in straight sets. With
:42:11. > :42:13.Andy Murray gone, Dan Evans had the job of lifting the British spirits.
:42:14. > :42:20.He made the headlines by beating Marin Cilic and Tomic, and a
:42:21. > :42:27.big-name awaited Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the 12th seed and 2008 finalist.
:42:28. > :42:32.With confidence high, he was not to be intimidated. We join the action
:42:33. > :43:01.in a first set tie-break, let's go over to our commentators...
:43:02. > :43:09.Very animated as always, Dan Evans. This is excellent. He explodes out
:43:10. > :43:15.of this. Before you know it, he is a hard man to pass. You wonder, why
:43:16. > :43:19.doesn't he do this more often? When he made the final back in 2008, he
:43:20. > :43:28.volleyed a lot, hitting and coming forward. Evans, taking an extra
:43:29. > :43:31.second here to make sure that he is locating all of the balls, and
:43:32. > :43:33.giving himself an extra moment. Giving himself a breather. Smart
:43:34. > :43:53.play. I think he has won over the crowd...
:43:54. > :43:56.I think they enjoy his feisty attitude. That he is giving his
:43:57. > :44:18.all... I think that he will get a
:44:19. > :44:27.sponsorship as well. He did not have that over the last couple of days,
:44:28. > :44:35.that handle... Good for him... The coaches deserve some love to, Josh!
:44:36. > :44:43.I agree. What they have to put up with and in dual, why not? -- and
:44:44. > :44:57.endure. Well, well, well... 3-1, Evans.
:44:58. > :46:02.Thank you. CHEERING
:46:03. > :46:05.Making the turn... We have seen this throughout the week, and in Sydney,
:46:06. > :46:21.these big moments where he steps up to the plate. He has been excellent.
:46:22. > :46:41.He's going to challenge it. I think that it would be a waste...
:46:42. > :47:28.Sanga Mac has three challenges remaining.
:47:29. > :47:38.Just a slight serve down the tee, doing well on these points. His
:47:39. > :48:02.backhand is the weakest side. Does he go aggressive? Or, conservative?
:48:03. > :48:09.A very aggressive look from Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, set point, Dan
:48:10. > :48:54.Evans. He changes up the pattern, taking
:48:55. > :48:58.beforehand and exposing the backhand. Evans finishes well,
:48:59. > :49:04.taking the first set, stealing it. 7-6.
:49:05. > :49:07.STUDIO: In the first game of the second set, Dan Evans was fighting
:49:08. > :49:09.hard, seeing off nine break point so far in the match. That, ten was one
:49:10. > :49:29.too many... Game, Tsonga. So, Dan Evans's
:49:30. > :49:35.resistance broke and Tsonga took the second and third sets. We rejoin the
:49:36. > :49:55.play 1-1 at the beginning of the fourth set...
:49:56. > :50:07.I think that was the three Stooges bit... Are they begin France? --
:50:08. > :50:45.baked in France? They are in Australia. -- are they big.
:50:46. > :50:52.He is hugged. Just taking a little breather. He takes a breather to get
:50:53. > :51:32.back into this match. He is just paying the price for a
:51:33. > :51:34.tonne of matches, early in this match, in the first hour, he was
:51:35. > :51:55.defending fiercely. Now, he is an dead legs. -- on dead
:51:56. > :52:09.legs. It is his heart that has to get him through.
:52:10. > :52:27.Close, mate. Really close. Clean, easy. A winner for Tsonga. I hate to
:52:28. > :52:30.say at this early, but it feels like a match point? Excellent. He goes
:52:31. > :52:34.out after it. That's great initiative. That is Jo-Wilfried at
:52:35. > :52:48.his best... It is just too good. Tsonga
:52:49. > :52:52.thoroughly in control. 2-1. STUDIO: Evans had fought heart

:53:21. > :53:25.The crowd have loved seeing Jo-Wilfried in action... They have
:53:26. > :53:27.highly appreciated those efforts from Dan Evans. Not only in this

:55:30. > :55:34.Russell Fuller caught up with Dan Evans after that defeat... I know
:55:35. > :55:39.that I was flagging a little. I really needed that first set, to
:55:40. > :55:44.hold on into the second. To maybe get a break, but I did not break him
:55:45. > :55:49.at all today. It's another class player who got the better of me. You
:55:50. > :55:53.had to do a lot of running today, as you did against Bernard Tomic. Over
:55:54. > :55:58.the last two weeks, how do you look back at your spelling Australia, has
:55:59. > :56:02.it been the time of your life? -- spell in Australia. It has, I really
:56:03. > :56:06.enjoyed it. Even those matches that I lost. It's been really good,
:56:07. > :56:12.playing Roger Federer in his first match back in front of that many
:56:13. > :56:16.people was great. As soon as I lost, I was... My thoughts turned to home
:56:17. > :56:20.and getting back. It has been a long time out here and are ready to go

:56:27. > :56:32.Murray is out and Dom Inglot misting -- lost in his third round of the
:56:33. > :56:37.men's doubles as well. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga goes on to meet Stan
:56:38. > :56:40.Wawrinka, whilst Andy Murray's conqueror Mischa Zverev takes on
:56:41. > :56:46.Roger Federer. He caused an upset himself after six months out
:56:47. > :56:53.injured, he is down at 17th seed. He beat K Nishikori of Japan in a five
:56:54. > :57:00.set battle. His dream of an 18th Grand Slam title lives on. The men's
:57:01. > :57:07.seeds are dropping like flies. The top seed and defending champion
:57:08. > :57:17.Angelique Kerber, in the women's singles, she has been knocked out by
:57:18. > :57:28.Coco Vandeweghe. The next opponent for Coco Vandeweghe is Garbine
:57:29. > :57:34.Muguruza. Don't forget, Britain's Johanna Konta is in the next. We
:57:35. > :57:36.have all of the highlights of her fourth-round match against Ekaterina
:57:37. > :57:38.Makarova here on BBC Two from quarter to five tomorrow. Before
:57:39. > :57:54.that, at 1pm... That is about it from us. After
:57:55. > :57:59.beginning with such promise, it has turned into a rather gloomy day for
:58:00. > :58:03.British tennis. Dan Evans will move away from Melbourne, remembering it
:58:04. > :58:06.for all of the right reasons. But for Andy Murray, it's a trip to
:58:07. > :58:13.Australia that I think he would rather forget. Joanna Konta --
:58:14. > :58:20.Johanna Konta? It's over to you. Goodbye.
