0:00:36 > 0:00:40Welcome to the final day of competition in this Davis Cup tie
0:00:40 > 0:00:44between Great Britain and Spain. After a disappointing loss in the
0:00:44 > 0:00:49doubles yesterday Spain have the advantage. The League 2-1, just one
0:00:49 > 0:00:53win away from a place in the quarterfinals. Britain must win
0:00:53 > 0:00:58boast single matches today to make it through. There is still
0:00:58 > 0:01:02speculation Kyle Edmund might come in on the fifth match is a decider
0:01:02 > 0:01:04but for that to happen we need another inspired performance from
0:01:04 > 0:01:08this man.
0:01:08 > 0:01:14Stunning.
0:01:14 > 0:01:21What a way to get the break. Cameron Norrie will serve for set three.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Great Britain have just taken the first set of the weekend. Terrific
0:01:25 > 0:01:32effort.
0:01:32 > 0:01:41Made it!. Is that the shot of the match? He's got the double break in
0:01:41 > 0:01:47the fourth set. Would you believe it? Cameron Norrie has taken Roberto
0:01:47 > 0:01:54R
0:01:56 > 0:01:58there have been plenty of points in this match and this may be the
0:01:58 > 0:02:08biggest so far. Norrie with the double break. Two match points. Has
0:02:08 > 0:02:13there ever been a better debut win in Davis Cup than that? Star has
0:02:13 > 0:02:19born Emma beer.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23He was the hero on Friday, can he cause another huge upset today
0:02:23 > 0:02:32against a player ranked 21 in the world, Alberto Ramos-Vinolas?
0:02:32 > 0:02:41We are concentrating on Norrie against Ramos-Vinolas. It's another
0:02:41 > 0:02:49big match for Cameron but he proved so much to us including himself on
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Friday.Nobody was expecting him to come through and win let alone from
0:02:53 > 0:02:58two set and a break down. It is another massive match him, how often
0:02:58 > 0:03:03do we see it in the big events like the Grand Slams you have an underdog
0:03:03 > 0:03:06producing a massive win and you think can they come back the next
0:03:06 > 0:03:10day or two days later and back it up? It is like today to produce
0:03:10 > 0:03:14another one that would be an even bigger result than Friday I think.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18I'd might guess but he thrives in team competition which stems from
0:03:18 > 0:03:25his time in US college tennis. Exactly, it's a lot of pressure but
0:03:25 > 0:03:28nothing like the Davis Cup. He went out there and embraced the occasion
0:03:28 > 0:03:33and from being 2-0 down and a break I am still in shock you wonderful
0:03:33 > 0:03:37the match and I think the whole team and the whole tennis world is. One
0:03:37 > 0:03:44of the most impressed results ever. What was said was will we get a
0:03:44 > 0:03:48reaction today? We had a day off, then the phone calls and the text
0:03:48 > 0:03:52messages, it would've been Leon Smith's job to say great but there
0:03:52 > 0:03:57is another match and 24 hours so come down.The way in which he
0:03:57 > 0:04:00played, the manner, he has to remember how he played those last
0:04:00 > 0:04:04three sets because it was such attacking tennis.He mentioned he
0:04:04 > 0:04:07focused on getting on top of the ball and using his forehand. That is
0:04:07 > 0:04:11one of the things I was most impressed about. He was not lulled
0:04:11 > 0:04:16into playing his opponent 's game, he played his own game and got on
0:04:16 > 0:04:22top of the lefty forehand and build but he staggered into the backhand
0:04:22 > 0:04:30side. What will be, he does not have the same advantage to swing the ball
0:04:30 > 0:04:34out because it will be going to Ramos-Vinolas's forehand. When he
0:04:34 > 0:04:40came forward he won so many points from the net so he will want to use
0:04:40 > 0:04:46that again.And although Ramos-Vinolas won it was not that
0:04:46 > 0:04:51dominant performance in beating Liam Broady.No, I thought Liam Broady
0:04:51 > 0:04:58played very well even if he didn't win. He ended up not taking a break
0:04:58 > 0:05:02points he had and then he had set point in the tie-breaker so he could
0:05:02 > 0:05:07have won two sets and I thought Ramos was very tight and his captain
0:05:07 > 0:05:11was even more nervous than he was! I am fascinated by this because we
0:05:11 > 0:05:15don't know, there is so much pressure on the Spaniard as well, he
0:05:15 > 0:05:20is supposed to win by everyone. Everything was bothering him, the
0:05:20 > 0:05:24tension of his racket, he did not feel comfortable out there.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Speculation about Kyle Edmund, he was out practising yesterday and
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Liam Smith had denied practising again today. Going through a fair
0:05:31 > 0:05:39old work-out. We are confident if needed he will step up -- Leon Smith
0:05:39 > 0:05:47had him out practising again today. He is trying to get him as close as
0:05:47 > 0:05:52he can to match fitness, we don't know if Norrie is being put in
0:05:52 > 0:05:58because Kyle is not fit enough, or if it's a tactical sense to think we
0:05:58 > 0:06:02need to win the two matches, you would think the best chance is with
0:06:02 > 0:06:07Kyle Edmund and Cameron Norrie, not Kyle Edmund and Liam Broady.It
0:06:07 > 0:06:16changes, if Kyle Edmund came in, all the pressure would be an Liam Broady
0:06:16 > 0:06:22so his only option was to play at that way.I think if Norrie pulls
0:06:22 > 0:06:27off another upset we will have changes on both sides.I think Kyle
0:06:27 > 0:06:34will play, I do not think they would put Bautista Agut after his
0:06:34 > 0:06:39performance. I think he's gone. It will be interesting to what happens.
0:06:39 > 0:06:46He just has to get off to a good start doesn't he?He started very
0:06:46 > 0:06:50well on Friday, for two up then he lost his momentum and I think I
0:06:50 > 0:06:54mentioned on the day you could see the belief disappearing in front of
0:06:54 > 0:06:59your eyes then he managed to get that back. He will want to start the
0:06:59 > 0:07:03match in the exact same way. Interestingly looks quite cold this
0:07:03 > 0:07:08morning so conditions will be a bit more slow. We don't know how both
0:07:08 > 0:07:13players are going to react. Ramos was very inconsistent. Although we
0:07:13 > 0:07:18saw what Cameron can do on Friday he is still an unknown player for his
0:07:18 > 0:07:24opponent so we will have to spend time figuring out, what he can do,
0:07:24 > 0:07:29how can counter what Cameron Norrie is doing.Ramos-Vinolas will not
0:07:29 > 0:07:32take this lightly having seen what Cameron is capable of. He played way
0:07:32 > 0:07:38above his ranking.That is what you talk about the Davis Cup, players
0:07:38 > 0:07:43playing above the ranking and below the ranking and Cameron lost the
0:07:43 > 0:07:47occasion. I liked how he kept saying to Leon Smith about his physicality
0:07:47 > 0:07:49because I think Leon
0:07:49 > 0:07:51to Leon Smith about his physicality because I think Leon, you get
0:07:51 > 0:07:56concerned, he's never played five sets, but he said physically I feel
0:07:56 > 0:08:01I am better than my opponent so he has the confidence which is great to
0:08:01 > 0:08:05see. He loved the occasion so I don't think the physicality will be
0:08:05 > 0:08:11a problem. He can stay out there all day long.He plays lots of matches
0:08:11 > 0:08:15on the challenger circuit, it's hard graft when you are that far down the
0:08:15 > 0:08:20world rankings.You mentioned it before Friday, he won a lot of
0:08:20 > 0:08:23tennis matches at the end of last year and although they are
0:08:23 > 0:08:27challenger, not the main tour, he is still beating players between 200
0:08:27 > 0:08:31and 100 and will have been some top 100 players in that tournament as
0:08:31 > 0:08:36well. It will be interesting to see how Ramos comes out because the
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Spanish reaction yesterday to what happened on Friday fantastic I
0:08:39 > 0:08:44thought. The doubles, potentially 50-50 but they got a bit of a fright
0:08:44 > 0:08:48on Friday and I think having the experience of low pay is on the
0:08:48 > 0:08:53court made a difference so I expect Ramos to be razor sharp -- the
0:08:53 > 0:09:00experience of having Lopez on the court.Very different styles between
0:09:00 > 0:09:07the captains. Leon so supportive, Sergi Bruguera, his first time as
0:09:07 > 0:09:11captain and he got quite animated with Ramos-Vinolas.Sometimes when
0:09:11 > 0:09:15you have a captain who has been as great a player as Sergi Bruguera
0:09:15 > 0:09:19they find it hard to relate to somebody missing shots because they
0:09:19 > 0:09:23did not miss any. You have to be careful you don't give too much
0:09:23 > 0:09:26information. When you have young players out you tend to talk more
0:09:26 > 0:09:29and when you have experienced players you talk less. I thought
0:09:29 > 0:09:34Sergi Bruguera was going the opposite way. It will be interesting
0:09:34 > 0:09:39to see if he can sit down.We will learn a lot from the first few
0:09:39 > 0:09:42games. Thank you, that is the match we are looking forward to, can
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Cameron Norrie do it again?
0:09:48 > 0:09:53COMMENTATOR: Very chilly conditions.
0:09:53 > 0:09:59COMMENTATOR: Very chilly conditions. Bit of a breeze and quite a lot of
0:09:59 > 0:10:07cloud over the mountains. What a stunning backdrop and then uses. --
0:10:07 > 0:10:14and venue this is.
0:10:45 > 0:10:56Two lefties, the first meeting between the two.
0:12:04 > 0:12:11The president of the ITF on the left.
0:12:30 > 0:12:37Break point straightaway for Spain.
0:13:05 > 0:13:17The forehand is such a weapon. Certainly developing into one.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Did not do enough on the ball, you could see it just sitting there.
0:13:21 > 0:13:30Plenty of time, look at the forehand.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59When you look at these points and you get the cold weather it makes
0:13:59 > 0:14:04conditions even slower and this clay-court is slow already without
0:14:04 > 0:14:07these weather conditions so putting the ball away here there is going to
0:14:07 > 0:14:10be a lot of working of the legs in this match.
0:14:24 > 0:14:32Norrie's journey on Friday for hours one minute.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38one minute. Ramos-Vinolas a couple of hours. A big difference.It is
0:14:38 > 0:14:43but the way Cameron Norrie played it it was like he was just going out
0:14:43 > 0:14:48for a match in the park. The last three sets it was like, physically,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51no problem. Looked like he could have played another two sets on that
0:14:51 > 0:15:05first day.The last three sets three, two and two.Impossible.
0:15:05 > 0:15:13Served nine double faults on Friday which was a bit of an issue.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Third break point of the game.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31The perfect start for Spain.
0:15:36 > 0:15:42He's not got that much experience himself in Davis Cup, Ramos-Vinolas.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Won in straight sets on Friday but did not play the sort of tennis
0:15:46 > 0:15:50which has seen them get to number 21 in the world. This is still a big
0:15:50 > 0:15:55day and occasion for him.Of course, closing out the Davis Cup match,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58there is no more attention in the tennis player 's career than Davis
0:15:58 > 0:16:04Cup. I think it's up there with Grand Slams. It's something
0:16:04 > 0:16:07different, you don't want to let down your team-mates are your
0:16:07 > 0:16:12country. It's so big. If you can play well in Davis Cup you can play
0:16:12 > 0:16:15well anywhere and that is why it was so impressive with Cameron Norrie
0:16:15 > 0:16:19because it shows he's a big occasion player and relished what was in
0:16:19 > 0:16:26front of him. That's just great for the future. Not a good start here
0:16:26 > 0:16:30but we did not have a good start on the first day either and it didn't
0:16:30 > 0:16:45make a difference so certainly no need to panic. Very early days.
0:16:52 > 0:16:58Are looking to boss as Leon Smith told him to do on Friday.The
0:16:58 > 0:17:08forehand to forehand battle, lefty to lefty, that be interesting.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58Came into the net so well on Friday again, that has to be part of his
0:17:58 > 0:18:03plan today.He will certainly try but the conditions look so heavy,
0:18:03 > 0:18:07you can see in these rallies so far he's not had many shots that he
0:18:07 > 0:18:11could come in at the moment. It's early days at the moment but good
0:18:11 > 0:18:16length from the Spaniard so far. Will not see many of those from him
0:18:16 > 0:18:24either. Ramos-Vinolas, you're not coming up against a feared server so
0:18:24 > 0:18:28if you are down a break you almost have a hit on almost every serve but
0:18:28 > 0:18:34then he serves the ace just to show I don't know what I'm talking about.
0:18:34 > 0:18:47Three aces against Broady.Which is not a lot.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01Seems to be a lot more top dressing on the court today. Just to slow it
0:19:01 > 0:19:07down even more. Home advantage and all that.The groundskeeper smacked
0:19:07 > 0:19:13out last night at midnight and dump the whole lorry-load. They wouldn't
0:19:13 > 0:19:16do a thing like that, would they? No...
0:19:35 > 0:19:43That's good tennis.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Beat Andy Murray when he was world number one in Monte Carlo last year.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56That is the calibre of the man.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15It is interesting, just looking at this match again, very early days
0:20:15 > 0:20:18but Ramos-Vinolas, we talk about Cameron Norrie and what the win did
0:20:18 > 0:20:22for him but I think the win against Liam Broady did a lot for him as
0:20:22 > 0:20:26well because even though he should have won the match it was a live
0:20:26 > 0:20:31Davis Cup rubber and he did not play well but he got through it. Ready to
0:20:31 > 0:20:35me he looks sharper in his first two games. Looks more authoritative.
0:20:35 > 0:20:41More confident. His captain giving him a nod, did not see many of those
0:20:41 > 0:20:49in the first match until about match point.
0:20:55 > 0:21:01As you mentioned it is tough backing up such a great win, even with a day
0:21:01 > 0:21:11off, it is never easy. Not to have a let downno.
0:21:42 > 0:21:50That is magnificent. What a shot. Cannot get that backspin drop shot
0:21:50 > 0:22:00back. Brilliant.Already trying to change it up, Norrie.Good slice
0:22:00 > 0:22:06there and this one here, to drop shot like that of the no peace shot,
0:22:06 > 0:22:12look at the side spin, beautiful shot.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22That's a rare mistake but you're right about Cameron Norrie backing
0:22:22 > 0:22:30it up, it's almost, I am sure Leon when he saw him in the locker room
0:22:30 > 0:22:40said enjoy this for about an hour then switch off. The match is over.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54Was he looking to serve and volley there?It was a good serve, I will
0:22:54 > 0:23:02tell you that much. This is a big game for him.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44This is a fantastic start from Ramos-Vinolas.He is playing well
0:23:44 > 0:23:53isn't he? Looks very sharp.
0:23:57 > 0:24:06Almost hit the Sorbus -- service line and Norrie surprised by it,
0:24:06 > 0:24:08didn't move.
0:24:35 > 0:24:41Just magnificent. He is showing everybody here why he is number 21
0:24:41 > 0:24:47in the world.In the first match did not sure that to be honest. It was a
0:24:47 > 0:24:52very edgy looking match and he just got the get out, to get it through,
0:24:52 > 0:24:58the won ugly to use that term. But today, now you will see him, you see
0:24:58 > 0:25:07why he has had the wins he has had. He is looking very difficult, at the
0:25:07 > 0:25:12moment, early doors, but where is Cameron Norrie going to penetrate
0:25:12 > 0:25:18and get the winners?We saw on Friday what a quick learner he was
0:25:18 > 0:25:21and it's his first time ever as a pro player on a clay court, the way
0:25:21 > 0:25:27he learnt and changed things up, it's big puzzle today.I think one
0:25:27 > 0:25:31thing right away is on the ground strokes when he does get pushed
0:25:31 > 0:25:36back, as soon as he hits the ball hug the baseline. We have already
0:25:36 > 0:25:40seen two drop shots which are being won and that's a tactic the Spanish
0:25:40 > 0:25:45players are going to use. You can always go backwards and hit the ball
0:25:45 > 0:25:48and come back forwards again so you are ready for the drop shot. That's
0:25:48 > 0:25:57one thing right away to look at. But at the moment he's just not missing.
0:25:57 > 0:26:05It is a cold day today, 12 Celsius, just 53 Fahrenheit.The locals did
0:26:05 > 0:26:12their homework on the weather forecast!
0:26:24 > 0:26:35Well done.In the first match, I don't remember the sliced backhand
0:26:35 > 0:26:39being so good. So far he's used that shot very well, a lot of bite on
0:26:39 > 0:26:41that shot.
0:27:38 > 0:27:44Was that in?
0:27:49 > 0:27:57It was.
0:28:17 > 0:28:28They both love their forehands.Good length on that one.
0:29:00 > 0:29:08Hiding the baseline there, trying to take away the time from
0:29:08 > 0:29:13Ramos-Vinolas, still think he has to do that.
0:29:33 > 0:29:40Trying everything. It is impossible to play any better than this.He
0:29:40 > 0:29:45started off so well. It is amazing what a winning does to you. His body
0:29:45 > 0:29:51language is different. On the first day he looked timid, even though he
0:29:51 > 0:29:55was winning, he never looked comfortable. Today there is a spring
0:29:55 > 0:30:05in his step. An authority about him that looks pretty impressive.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16The land. Didn't see that on Friday.
0:30:50 > 0:30:57Is it possible to start a match too well sometimes, especially three out
0:30:57 > 0:31:06of five?Not really. As long as you don't think about it and think, I am
0:31:06 > 0:31:17playing well.Then it is easy now for Norrie to overplay.Exactly.
0:31:17 > 0:31:23Again, in the first match, he lost the first two sets and down a break,
0:31:23 > 0:31:32but certainly didn't panic. In his short career, you can say he has
0:31:32 > 0:31:40done that.He turned professional last year.
0:31:40 > 0:31:46Amazing.
0:31:47 > 0:31:59Well done.Interesting, at the start of the match on Friday, his little
0:31:59 > 0:32:03experience on clay, Norrie wasn't sliding into the drop shots. But by
0:32:03 > 0:32:17the end of the match, he was. It is such a learning curve, this surface.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29He was hitting winners of both wings on Friday. Encouraging to see one
0:32:29 > 0:32:30there.
0:33:48 > 0:33:57That is brilliant. That really was. The slice, it really took off from
0:33:57 > 0:34:02his racket. I thought it was going to be so low, almost need a wedge to
0:34:02 > 0:34:07get this one up. But he got underneath there and whipped it
0:34:07 > 0:34:19crosscourt. Excellent shot. Well done. On the scoreboard, Norrie.
0:34:20 > 0:34:26Something for them to cheer about. We had some strong clues with Norrie
0:34:26 > 0:34:33with his college career, as we talked about. He went to the Texas
0:34:33 > 0:34:37Christian University, the top ranked college player, the first time the
0:34:37 > 0:34:42university had had that order of merit. He went a season undefeated.
0:34:42 > 0:34:49Then he didn't play the NCAA last time because he wanted to turn pro.
0:34:49 > 0:34:56But to 114 in the world. To do it back quite, very good signs.Very
0:34:56 > 0:35:00impressive and to come through the college system in The States have
0:35:00 > 0:35:07the year he had, the calibre of tennis is very good. The pressure on
0:35:07 > 0:35:14those matches they play every day, is extreme and then go in the
0:35:14 > 0:35:17futures and challengers. There are good players on that circuit and to
0:35:17 > 0:35:22break through as quickly as he has, it is very impressive and then to
0:35:22 > 0:35:26make his Davis Cup debut and treat it like, this is what I have been
0:35:26 > 0:35:31born to do and I am going to enjoy the occasion. It is such a good
0:35:31 > 0:35:41sign. Such a good sign.This is a huge test today. Great Britain have
0:35:41 > 0:35:47to win both the reverse singles, to win the tie. Sometimes that can just
0:35:47 > 0:35:51release you. And Ramos-Vinolas, knowing they just need one from two
0:35:51 > 0:35:56can make you a bit tight. But far from it. Been very impressive for 25
0:35:56 > 0:35:59minutes so far.
0:37:49 > 0:37:56It caught the line.I think he thought it was going wide when he
0:37:56 > 0:38:01went soon hit it, he didn't get set. His length at the moment, the
0:38:01 > 0:38:07Spanish player is pinning Norrie back. Back from the baseline, over
0:38:07 > 0:38:19and over again. He did well to hang in there in that rally.
0:38:22 > 0:38:31Nicely done. From all areas of the court.
0:38:34 > 0:38:43court. They are in a good mood. Victory in the doubles yesterday,
0:38:43 > 0:38:45setting Spain up nicely.
0:39:11 > 0:39:17So accurate. It is very difficult at the moment for Norrie to get ahead
0:39:17 > 0:39:25in the rallies. He is having to defend all the time.
0:39:59 > 0:40:07Just two, double faults in his match on Friday.
0:40:36 > 0:40:43Super.That is one area where he will have to take a few chances on,
0:40:43 > 0:40:47his second serve. He took that nice and early on the backhand and got
0:40:47 > 0:40:53ahead in the rally.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01ahead in the rally.He is two from six on his second serve,
0:41:01 > 0:41:09Ramos-Vinolas.Yes.
0:41:19 > 0:41:25That is a very, very good break of serve.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29serve.First serve percentage from Norrie at the moment is under 50%.
0:41:29 > 0:41:36It is hurting him. But he is back in this opening set. The remembrance of
0:41:36 > 0:41:42Friday, from all who witnessed it. The Spanish camp will be more than
0:41:42 > 0:41:47aware of that, it carries a bit of weight.It certainly does. It is
0:41:47 > 0:41:54like, here he comes.
0:43:02 > 0:43:08That is a little ambitious.
0:43:46 > 0:43:56He is really getting back into this.
0:43:56 > 0:44:08If he can hold here.I think we have an interesting set.
0:44:24 > 0:44:29Ramos-Vinolas, has other ideas. Another break point.
0:44:59 > 0:45:08He breaks again, Ramos-Vinolas. Has got the first set again by the
0:45:08 > 0:45:14scruff of the neck.He is giving him too many looks at his second serve
0:45:14 > 0:45:22at the moment. The first serve percentage has got to get up. At
0:45:22 > 0:45:263030, two second service, Ramos-Vinolas hit two second serve
0:45:26 > 0:45:30and then right away got into an attacking position and forced the
0:45:30 > 0:45:37errors. On the clay court you have to be at least in the 60%.He is
0:45:37 > 0:45:43still under 50% and that will not get the job done. Not with the way
0:45:43 > 0:45:51this man is playing today and Ramos-Vinolas is
0:45:51 > 0:45:57Ramos-Vinolas is getting 70% of his first serves in. He was
0:45:57 > 0:46:02quarterfinalist at the French couple of years ago, so a typical clay
0:46:02 > 0:46:06court player. It is going to be very tough. He will be very tough to
0:46:06 > 0:46:11beat. Very tough.
0:46:17 > 0:46:23What a player he was on clay. Twice the French champion in 93 and 94
0:46:23 > 0:46:32will stop.
0:46:34 > 0:46:42I am sure in his mind, he will be thinking because he was so good on
0:46:42 > 0:46:56clay. New balls the Ramos-Vinolas. Serving for the opening set at 5-2.
0:47:42 > 0:47:50The winner came from out of the blue. He has got that ability.
0:47:52 > 0:48:02Played well in the doubles yesterday, Jamie Murray.
0:48:04 > 0:48:15Thrill for him to partner his younger brother, Andy.
0:48:22 > 0:48:31It is the length he is hitting, the forehand. Pushing back Norrie all
0:48:31 > 0:48:39the time, not giving him any time to breathe here.
0:49:08 > 0:49:18I thought that was pretty close.
0:49:50 > 0:49:53Two set points now.
0:51:08 > 0:51:12Interesting change-up in that rally. Couple of forehands from Norrie
0:51:12 > 0:51:23where he took the pace of, with a lot of spin, got it nice and deep.
0:51:43 > 0:51:54Wow. Two double faults in the last three points. From nowhere. He has
0:51:54 > 0:51:59looked so secure, serving for the set.
0:52:37 > 0:52:42He is trying everything, Norrie. Tried to change the pace up again in
0:52:42 > 0:52:52that rally.
0:52:52 > 0:52:56that rally.He has got a lot of plans up his sleeve. I am sure they
0:52:56 > 0:53:05talked about that at the last changeover, I would think.
0:53:12 > 0:53:24Beautifully done. No way was he missing that drop shot.
0:53:24 > 0:53:28missing that drop shot.Perfect time to hit the drop shot. His opponent
0:53:28 > 0:53:35is deep and he is inside the court when he hit it.
0:54:06 > 0:54:17Would you believe it?Didn't see that one coming.He is what many
0:54:17 > 0:54:21players would call, Norrie, a real tennis player. He has got such a
0:54:21 > 0:54:31good tennis brain.He has, adapting all the time.First set looked gone.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34And then the hiccup from Ramos-Vinolas. But I think the
0:54:34 > 0:54:48hiccup is caused by what he achieved on Friday.It certainly helped.
0:54:59 > 0:55:07It would be an interesting service game at 5-4. He should beat up a set
0:55:07 > 0:55:17and a break, the way he has dominated. But it is not over yet.
0:55:27 > 0:55:33What a change-up. Beautiful change-up.
0:55:33 > 0:55:41change-up.Look at the smiles now. There is the change-up. High and
0:55:41 > 0:55:51deep and then he pounces. He has got him rattled. At the start of this
0:55:51 > 0:55:58match, Ramos-Vinolas was in his own zone. Now he is preoccupied with
0:55:58 > 0:56:05what is coming at him from the other end.Exactly right.
0:56:18 > 0:56:27Hit the net twice. Has been a Spanish net this weekend.It has. It
0:56:27 > 0:56:33has. Although they say it evens out, but that is a load of nonsense.
0:57:08 > 0:57:13Tough point.
0:58:19 > 0:58:25Right choice?He made such a good one, previous point, but from that
0:58:25 > 0:58:33position he had the whole court to go for the big forehand.
0:59:01 > 0:59:10No way!What was that? What a point. That is the best point of the tie,
0:59:10 > 0:59:15let alone this match. Exhausting point and then to finish with that
0:59:15 > 0:59:23shot. Incredible. Outstanding.
0:59:25 > 0:59:32shot. Incredible. Outstanding. That is a bit of respect.
0:59:50 > 1:00:00Fabulous hold. Would not want to be Ramos-Vinolas right now.Now we have
1:00:00 > 1:00:09got an interesting game coming up. Totally out of the set,
1:00:09 > 1:00:13Ramos-Vinolas showing everyone why he has done what he has done and why
1:00:13 > 1:00:17he is where he is yet this man refuses to give up thinking about
1:00:17 > 1:00:23how to make things happen.He was outclassed at the beginning but what
1:00:23 > 1:00:30is so impressive is that he's got plan B and plan C. He can change it
1:00:30 > 1:00:36up which is so important. He's not a 1-piece player. He's changed his
1:00:36 > 1:00:40game. You can see how hard he is breathing, he was not run around
1:00:40 > 1:00:43like this in the first match even though it was four hours. These are
1:00:43 > 1:00:55punishing rallies. But he's doing so well, what a we to hang in there.
1:00:55 > 1:00:59This is very exciting for British tennis.I cannot wait to see this
1:00:59 > 1:01:14next game.He is a rookie! What a debut!
1:01:14 > 1:01:24Both doing the Rafa Nadal thing, sprinting. They said 0% chance of
1:01:24 > 1:01:34rain today but that looks pretty ominous. So what now?
1:01:34 > 1:01:36ominous. So what now? 40-15 up in his last service game then it got
1:01:36 > 1:01:44unbelievably tight, serving for the set again Ramos-Vinolas.
1:01:57 > 1:02:03What must he be thinking, who is this guy?Yeah, I should be upset
1:02:03 > 1:02:13and a break. Look at the look.
1:02:22 > 1:02:30Funny bounce, has it caught the line?
1:02:31 > 1:02:38The umpire is a bit slow.Has to go to the exact mark. He's now looking
1:02:38 > 1:02:42up and down the line, he doesn't have the lying the exact mark.I
1:02:42 > 1:02:48think it's that one, maybe that one. This is what the umpires have got to
1:02:48 > 1:02:53do, then maybe get the line judge up. To get the right mark.I don't
1:02:53 > 1:03:00know why he hesitated so long.The way his eyes when he did not know
1:03:00 > 1:03:08which mark it was.He didn't know which one it was.The ball did take
1:03:08 > 1:03:12a funny sort of hop like it caught the side.That is what it looked
1:03:12 > 1:03:20like.It's a long gap now if he has to hit a second serve.He does have
1:03:20 > 1:03:33to do, cannot change it now.It is all happening.
1:03:43 > 1:03:45The umpire cannot possibly change it if he does not know the correct
1:03:45 > 1:03:47mark, he has to go with the linesman.
1:04:23 > 1:04:25That is one for the umpire I think.
1:04:49 > 1:04:53Very accurate on the forehand side.
1:05:26 > 1:05:30Nothing wrong with that tactic. Just pulled it wide, but he took it
1:05:30 > 1:05:40early. Two feet inside the baseline.
1:06:33 > 1:06:43Oh my goodness!What a volley! Are you kidding?!That had site spin and
1:06:43 > 1:06:53was going back towards the net.I thought he was done, what a volley.
1:06:55 > 1:07:00Seriously? What is your ranking? LAUGHTER
1:07:00 > 1:07:02It's another lifeline.
1:07:34 > 1:07:40That is brilliant play. That was a fabulous rally from both players.
1:07:40 > 1:07:46What a lob that was from Ramos-Vinolas. I thought he was out
1:07:46 > 1:07:51of the point.
1:07:56 > 1:08:02of the point.This has turned into such a great set of tennis.Superb.
1:08:34 > 1:08:42Did well in the end.Did very well in the end.
1:08:51 > 1:08:57I'm not quite sure Leon can believe what he is seeing either.He is
1:08:57 > 1:09:03suppressing a smile the whole time. Turning around as if to say I knew
1:09:03 > 1:09:08he had that in him. Practice is one thing but this is a whole different
1:09:08 > 1:09:09story in the match.
1:09:14 > 1:09:25He's only gone and broken back again.Outstanding.This is
1:09:25 > 1:09:30remarkable. And how important this opening set bearing in mind he was
1:09:30 > 1:09:33on court for four hours and one minute, Ramos-Vinolas two and a half
1:09:33 > 1:09:39hours on Friday.This is an hour-long and it is only 5-5. I hope
1:09:39 > 1:09:44his legs are in good shape because if this continues like this it could
1:09:44 > 1:09:47continue for five hours if the tennis they have played like this,
1:09:47 > 1:09:56it's exhausting watching it.
1:10:07 > 1:10:12It's not the same as playing, training. He's done it in one match
1:10:12 > 1:10:16in his professional career and it was only two days ago, again a half
1:10:16 > 1:10:21ago, whatever. At some stage of this goes long you would think that will
1:10:21 > 1:10:33catch up to him but maybe not? Maybe he is bionic?
1:10:41 > 1:10:50Here we go now.This is good, taking his time.
1:10:50 > 1:10:56his time.Such a huge effort to get back to 5-5.Yes, taking his time,
1:10:56 > 1:11:03not rushing. Visualising what he's going to do.
1:11:11 > 1:11:24It is that length again.What a seesaw set.Fantastic tennis.Three
1:11:24 > 1:11:29more break points.
1:11:46 > 1:11:4911 games, seven breaks. Ramos-Vinolas will have another
1:11:49 > 1:11:56chance to serve out the first set. You have to admire him as well in
1:11:56 > 1:11:59this case because he must have been shell-shocked after losing the lead
1:11:59 > 1:12:04that he had and then coming in, OK he had some help from Cameron Norrie
1:12:04 > 1:12:09in the first couple of points but still he played a very good service
1:12:09 > 1:12:13game to break. Couple of immaculate forehands.
1:12:18 > 1:12:25What a set.It is amazing, and conversations on both side of the
1:12:25 > 1:12:31net, so much to talk about.Of course.
1:12:37 > 1:12:42It's an amazing atmosphere. And the tennis has inspired it. The
1:12:42 > 1:12:48occasion, Davis Cup, but the tennis they are producing, it is a party.
1:12:48 > 1:12:56It's fantastic. The quality, Cameron Norrie, it is amazing how far he has
1:12:56 > 1:13:10come.So pleased he's got a Welsh mother.
1:13:12 > 1:13:23What this time?Don't ask me! Tie-breaker would be a fitting end
1:13:23 > 1:13:29to the set wouldn't it? What drama that would be. Anyway, long way to
1:13:29 > 1:13:41go.Third time, Ramos-Vinolas serving for this opening set.
1:14:18 > 1:14:22A couple of tight points there. That was the middle of the net, that
1:14:22 > 1:14:27forehand.
1:14:38 > 1:14:45Doesn't feel that they have had that many unforced errors.
1:14:57 > 1:15:09Just a fraction late getting to the ball, Norrie.
1:15:35 > 1:15:38Amazing, he's really not had to do that much to get to 15-40 in this
1:15:38 > 1:15:46game. As tight as one of those drums.
1:16:24 > 1:16:30.Net. Tight
1:16:30 > 1:16:37got it. Tie-break it is. Norrie deserves nothing less. Eight breaks
1:16:37 > 1:16:45of serve in this set.
1:17:29 > 1:17:40Decelerated on that second serve.
1:18:09 > 1:18:13Settle, settle.This happened after he broke back the last time, lost it
1:18:13 > 1:18:26a little bit, in terms of focus. Yeah.
1:18:27 > 1:18:38Yeah.Not been a good front runner in this set so far!No.
1:18:58 > 1:19:06Superbly done.Really well done. When he first went to hit the volley
1:19:06 > 1:19:15I thought he was going to drift wide but perfect control.He is back with
1:19:15 > 1:19:22us, Norrie.He certainly is.
1:19:23 > 1:19:25us, Norrie.He certainly is. Hasn't come to the net very often but
1:19:25 > 1:19:31hasn't been able to.
1:20:04 > 1:20:13Oh my goodness! He made that look so easy! He circled stroke away.Three
1:20:13 > 1:20:18ridiculous winners in that set and that was one of them. Looked like he
1:20:18 > 1:20:25was out. Brilliant forehand. What a reply.If Ramos-Vinolas is not
1:20:25 > 1:20:32thinking now how can I win this set? Keys at the back and never thought
1:20:32 > 1:20:40that was coming at him in a million years.
1:20:43 > 1:20:46He was half looking to see if Norrie was coming in again, he's been
1:20:46 > 1:21:03bamboozled here! Norrie is in front. So resilient.
1:21:22 > 1:21:26A look of shock.
1:22:01 > 1:22:10I thought he was going to make that as well.What set of tennis.
1:22:15 > 1:22:24It's an our own 12 minutes. -- it is an hour and 12 minutes.
1:23:49 > 1:23:59Just overcooked that forehand.
1:24:22 > 1:24:27Three more set points.
1:25:14 > 1:25:21Never knows when he is beaten. That's a rare short ball that he had
1:25:21 > 1:25:26the chance to attack, the length from Ramos-Vinolas has been so good
1:25:26 > 1:25:30but that one just leaned into it, to get early.
1:25:42 > 1:25:47Fourth set point.
1:26:02 > 1:26:12A Titanic set of tennis comes to an end, and and our and a quarter. --
1:26:12 > 1:26:17one hour and a quarter. Ramos-Vinolas comes away with it,
1:26:17 > 1:26:21Spain are one setup. STUDIO: The Spanish team with the huge sigh of
1:26:21 > 1:26:25relief, they know how dangerous Cameron Norrie is but he is still
1:26:25 > 1:26:29very much in this match. We will be right back with it but we can update
1:26:29 > 1:26:35you with what is happening in the world group.
1:26:36 > 1:26:38world group. France leading 2-1 after winning the doubles in four
1:26:38 > 1:26:47sets yesterday. What a thrill of this was between Italy and Japan.
1:26:47 > 1:26:52Having to save break and match point, Fognini winning in five sets,
1:26:52 > 1:26:56the toughest Davis Cup match he has ever played he said. The winner of
1:26:56 > 1:27:01this match will face Germany as they beat Australia overnight with Zverev
1:27:01 > 1:27:09defeating Nick Krygios in straight sets. Krygios complaining of an arm
1:27:09 > 1:27:14injury. Kazakhstan through, winning the doubles to defeat Switzerland
1:27:14 > 1:27:223-0, dead robber today. Croatia 2-1 up against Canada.
1:27:30 > 1:27:34The United States have wrapped up victory against Serbia, winning the
1:27:34 > 1:27:40doubles in four sets to win 3-0 and Hungary, this young team winning the
1:27:40 > 1:27:44doubles in five sets to keep the tie allied against Belgium. 2-1 up
1:27:44 > 1:27:48against last year 's runners-up. That is what is happening in the
1:27:48 > 1:27:52world group. Let's go back to the match and see what Cameron Norrie
1:27:52 > 1:27:58can do in the second set. Jamie Bakker joining Chris Bradman for
1:27:58 > 1:28:04this one. COMMENTATOR: Yes, what the set of tennis we have witnessed.
1:28:04 > 1:28:10It's such a great sport. I was watching the last half hour, 45
1:28:10 > 1:28:18minutes of that with the biggest smile on my face.How important that
1:28:18 > 1:28:24Spain won the opening set?It is massive, for all of Cameron Norrie's
1:28:24 > 1:28:28amazing play, the big picture of trying to win the match, would it
1:28:28 > 1:28:31have been better to have lost the set 6-2, I don't know. Time will
1:28:31 > 1:28:34tell.
1:29:04 > 1:29:16The smiles are getting wider. 2-1 up, set up. Norrie over four hours
1:29:16 > 1:29:23on court on Friday. It's looking good for the whole nation.
1:30:39 > 1:30:43CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Of all the tactics we saw in that
1:30:43 > 1:30:46first set from Norrie, and there were a number, Jamie, what was his
1:30:46 > 1:30:51best plan of action here? It was the variety of all of them,
1:30:51 > 1:30:55so impressive. We haven't seen him come forward as much today as we did
1:30:55 > 1:30:59on Friday. A lot of that is specifically due to the tactics of
1:30:59 > 1:31:06this player.
1:31:10 > 1:31:22Well played. Keeps momentum.From 4-0 in that first set, possibly what
1:31:22 > 1:31:25was most impressive about it was that he was going toe to toe with
1:31:25 > 1:31:32Ramos from the baseline. And coming off, you know, on top of a lot of
1:31:32 > 1:31:39those rallies, it was incredible to watch.
1:31:39 > 1:31:43watch. Whatever the outcome of this particular match, seeing Cameron
1:31:43 > 1:31:47Norrie performing like this is unbelievably exciting for British
1:31:47 > 1:31:50tennis, with Kyle Edmund doing what he's doing, Norrie looks like a
1:31:50 > 1:31:54player that is going to go from strength to strength and improve his
1:31:54 > 1:31:58ranking. He looks like a player who is going to play better than his
1:31:58 > 1:32:06normal level in David cup matches. -- Davis Cup matches. And then
1:32:06 > 1:32:16there's Andy Murray. He's not bad, is he?!
1:32:48 > 1:32:52There's a freedom about Ramos-Vinolas right now. He's been
1:32:52 > 1:32:58released, almost, winning that first set.It does look like the start of
1:32:58 > 1:33:02the first set against. He came out with that razor sharp focus, as I
1:33:02 > 1:33:15expected. He will be unbelievably relieved to have won that first set.
1:33:20 > 1:33:26Ramos-Vinolas is convinced that it out. The umpire has already called
1:33:26 > 1:33:30the score. And now he's changed his mind Oh!
1:33:59 > 1:34:09Real purpose. Interesting to see how much he maintains that.That part of
1:34:09 > 1:34:15his game has been so impressive. He's making it look easy. But on a
1:34:15 > 1:34:18clay court, it isn't easy to recognise every time you have the
1:34:18 > 1:34:28opportunity, but also not to do too much with it.
1:34:57 > 1:35:06Superb hold from 0-30. Simona Halep, in the Australian Open this year,
1:35:06 > 1:35:10her coach has been working hard with her to get the right mindset. He
1:35:10 > 1:35:14walked out on her after Miami last year because it wasn't happening,
1:35:14 > 1:35:18she begged him to come back and she is trying to win this elusive first
1:35:18 > 1:35:23Grand Slam title. In one of her interviews, for the first time I've
1:35:23 > 1:35:26heard her say publicly, I understand now, it's not about winning and
1:35:26 > 1:35:31losing. Cameron Norrie just gives you that overwhelming feeling of
1:35:31 > 1:35:38exactly that. It is, how are you going to get there? Every step of
1:35:38 > 1:35:40the way.
1:35:57 > 1:36:01I have watched is a lot of Simona Halep play in the last three months.
1:36:01 > 1:36:05There is a big difference in the way she approaches things. Of course,
1:36:05 > 1:36:11it's silly to say and individual athlete in a sport as competitive as
1:36:11 > 1:36:15tennis that they are not completely immersed with winning and losing.
1:36:15 > 1:36:18They are, of course, they want to win. But it is understanding a
1:36:18 > 1:36:25bigger picture to give youth a better chance of winning. -- you the
1:36:25 > 1:36:31better chance.
1:36:36 > 1:36:41For many of you at home, I'm sure you're watching Cameron Norrie for
1:36:41 > 1:36:47the very first time this weekend. Most of us are.
1:36:47 > 1:36:49It's exciting.
1:37:44 > 1:37:56One of two Spanish cup Dave -- Spanish Davis Cup winning sides.
1:38:07 > 1:38:132-1 lead. -- the lead.
1:38:18 > 1:38:27This really has helped Ramos-Vinolas this weekend. He is coming of age.
1:38:27 > 1:38:32But these sorts of experiences, they can take you to a completely
1:38:32 > 1:38:39different level.Definitely. I think his performance and also Bautista
1:38:39 > 1:38:42Agut's performance on Friday, a lot of that was to do with a little bit
1:38:42 > 1:38:48of complacency. It really looked as if, well Mike Hookem blame them,
1:38:48 > 1:38:52nobody really gave the British team a shot, and certainly they didn't
1:38:52 > 1:38:57think the matches would be this competitive, let alone losing one of
1:38:57 > 1:39:01the singles matches. He has found himself in a few challenging
1:39:01 > 1:39:05positions, as he did in the first set against Liam Broady on Friday.
1:39:05 > 1:39:10But what looked like in the first, what was it, 15-20 minutes of this
1:39:10 > 1:39:15match when he came out, he really looked like the top 20 player that
1:39:15 > 1:39:18he has been an pretty much is just now. He thought this was going to be
1:39:18 > 1:39:24a walk in the park, and it absolutely isn't.Novak Djokovic and
1:39:24 > 1:39:28Serbia won cup for the first time. He put a lot of the credit
1:39:28 > 1:39:31boundaries individual success to that firm. What it did for the
1:39:31 > 1:39:40nation. It is an amazing competition. However they want to
1:39:40 > 1:39:44tweak it, long may it continue.
1:39:49 > 1:39:52New balls. 1-2.
1:40:30 > 1:40:430-30 again for Norrie. As in the last service game.
1:41:38 > 1:41:43He keeps hitting Norrie, the now lasts. He just won't go down. --
1:41:43 > 1:41:45Manolas.
1:42:06 > 1:42:13It's another really good hold.Yes, Norrie seems to have this really
1:42:13 > 1:42:17valuable ability to shake off disappointment very, very quickly.
1:42:17 > 1:42:23You know, he doesn't dwell on any setbacks. And I do think that comes
1:42:23 > 1:42:32from this love of the game, love of the fight. He comes on the court
1:42:32 > 1:42:36accepting that he's going to hit some bad shots, he is going to lose
1:42:36 > 1:42:41some points, but it's like he's saying, I'm fine with it, I'm ready
1:42:41 > 1:42:45for the next point.
1:43:13 > 1:43:24The serve is out. He's saying, the point is over, you can't look at it
1:43:24 > 1:43:28now. Leon Smith agrees with that.
1:43:41 > 1:43:56Superb tennis. One of the worst feelings to get drop shot mob.
1:44:16 > 1:44:20A lot of success looking to come forward together now.He looks like
1:44:20 > 1:44:26he's got a world forehand. It's a really cultured shot. He can take
1:44:26 > 1:44:30the pace off, hit it heavily high over the net, give the opponent a
1:44:30 > 1:44:36different look, he can also step in and flatten it out, do some damage.
1:44:53 > 1:45:02The serve was very close.
1:45:59 > 1:46:09Lovely!Mirrors that heavy, higher forehand, just causing Ramos-Vinolas
1:46:09 > 1:46:17so many problems. Getting it up I want some might -- high on his
1:46:17 > 1:46:25backhand. The drop shot didn't have to be that good, his opponent was so
1:46:25 > 1:46:29far out of position.He hasn't gone away, has he?
1:46:42 > 1:46:47And again, it's rattling Ramos-Vinolas. You can feel the
1:46:47 > 1:46:51resistance. Some double faults in the last three points, not for the
1:46:51 > 1:47:01first time in the match. It's a break point.
1:47:32 > 1:47:46Norrie breaks. Finau last 40-15 up in that game. -- Vinolas 40-15 up.
1:47:46 > 1:47:52We talk about choice of shot a lot in tennis, probably more so on a
1:47:52 > 1:47:56clay court, how tricky that is. I guess, Jamie, with his mindset, if
1:47:56 > 1:48:00he's going to start thinking about coming forward, it changes
1:48:00 > 1:48:03everything in terms of choice of shot.I was looking for that right
1:48:03 > 1:48:08at the start of the match, he started on Friday coming" a lot and
1:48:08 > 1:48:11we didn't see much of it at all for the first half an hour or so. Part
1:48:11 > 1:48:18of that was probably to do
1:48:18 > 1:48:20of that was probably to do with the quality of Ramos's play. But you're
1:48:20 > 1:48:22right. What I'm loving about watching Norrie play, not only his
1:48:22 > 1:48:25energy, you can see in between points, he's nodding to himself, his
1:48:25 > 1:48:29head is full of positive thoughts. But the variety in his game, he's
1:48:29 > 1:48:33absolutely happy to go toe to toe from the baseline. But as we have
1:48:33 > 1:48:40seen and at as you quite rightly say, if he wants to put his foot on
1:48:40 > 1:48:44the gas and take control of the match, he can do that. His skills
1:48:44 > 1:48:49around the net are fantastic from what we have seen so far.For a
1:48:49 > 1:48:53muscle in on us, I suppose he's just got to keep doing what he's doing,
1:48:53 > 1:48:58but he's also got a counterpoint to the tactic too, hasn't he?It's
1:48:58 > 1:49:02interesting, he certainly looks like a more one-dimensional player.
1:49:02 > 1:49:07Obviously we know that his best is top 20 in the world. He has the Sean
1:49:07 > 1:49:11Lee in his own head thing, if he placed a is best, it's going to do
1:49:11 > 1:49:16some damage -- he has too fiercely in his own head. It's going to do
1:49:16 > 1:49:20some damage to beat Norrie. The way he's playing, it actually might not
1:49:20 > 1:49:25be, though.
1:49:25 > 1:49:33be, though.He tried to come in then.
1:49:33 > 1:49:40It's fascinating.
1:49:57 > 1:50:02Here he comes. It is going to be in trusting, we've seen Norrie play all
1:50:02 > 1:50:06of his best tennis when he's been behind in the scoreboard. -- it is
1:50:06 > 1:50:10going to be interesting. He did a brilliant job and really put his
1:50:10 > 1:50:15foot on the gas. But here is another opportunity. He doesn't want to drop
1:50:15 > 1:50:21his intensity just because he's ahead on the scoreboard. What must
1:50:21 > 1:50:28this man by thinking?!
1:51:16 > 1:51:23It's the fifth of those. He served nine on Friday.
1:51:23 > 1:51:28nine on Friday. First serve's in. He has improved on it from the start of
1:51:28 > 1:51:35the match, Norrie.
1:52:03 > 1:52:13It's a brilliant point from both men! Again!
1:52:31 > 1:52:40Pretty close.
1:52:58 > 1:53:04CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Such an important point, and didn't
1:53:04 > 1:53:10he play well?!A massive, massive momentum opportunity lost from 40-0
1:53:10 > 1:53:19up in this game.
1:53:22 > 1:53:26No smash is easy on a clay court.
1:53:31 > 1:53:36It's just a great finish to the game. And that smash is pretty much
1:53:36 > 1:53:44the first one he's hit in nearly two hours!I know. I was thinking at
1:53:44 > 1:53:49that 40-30 point, that great rally from Ramos-Vinolas, classic clay
1:53:49 > 1:53:54court point. And thinking, this guy in your picture is the second
1:53:54 > 1:54:00professional match on clay! I don't think we've ever seen anyone look so
1:54:00 > 1:54:07comfortable after such a short space of time, it's incredible.It is.
1:54:07 > 1:54:15This guy was basically born on a clay court!I think Nadal in only
1:54:15 > 1:54:19his ninth professional match on a grass court made the final at
1:54:19 > 1:54:26Wimbledon.That is also amazing.
1:55:12 > 1:55:18Amazing how this match is starting to turn around.
1:55:25 > 1:55:33The Spaniard didn't really look like he knew what to do that. -- Blair.
1:55:33 > 1:55:36You can't blame him.
1:56:47 > 1:56:52So clever! Because that wasn't a drop shot, that was very smartly
1:56:52 > 1:56:56bringing his opponent in. Look at the shape of that forehand. Somebody
1:56:56 > 1:57:01used to playing on a hard court would hit that flat. Wonderful to
1:57:01 > 1:57:12watch. Two more break points.
1:57:17 > 1:57:22It's four game in a row! The tactical switch, amazing. The
1:57:22 > 1:57:28execution, even better.
1:57:28 > 1:57:30execution, even better. Again, we are witnessing something pretty
1:57:30 > 1:57:40extraordinary from Cameron Norrie.
1:57:45 > 1:57:51Four Leon Smith, he almost has not much to say. I mean, he's absolutely
1:57:51 > 1:57:56in the zone. Physically, everybody's asking, OK, he played a lot of
1:57:56 > 1:58:00tennis on Friday, that was a brutal set to lose. There was a little bit
1:58:00 > 1:58:04of a Lawell for maybe five minutes at the start of that second set, but
1:58:04 > 1:58:09Ramos-Vinolas was unable to get a lead. And look at him now. I mean,
1:58:09 > 1:58:16he's... Physically is one thing, but mentally he is absolutely looking
1:58:16 > 1:58:20the stronger of the two players so far, even though Ramos won that
1:58:20 > 1:58:23first set, he is looking the more fragile on the big points, in my
1:58:23 > 1:58:35view.Amazing. So much to talk about. If you want to get involved,
1:58:35 > 1:58:47hashtag BBC tennis. Facebook, of course, don't forget that.
1:58:49 > 1:58:56One hour and 48 minutes. Cameron Norrie serving forced at number two.
1:58:56 > 1:58:58-- for set number two.
2:00:12 > 2:00:16You know, Chris, you're right what you said a minute ago in terms of
2:00:16 > 2:00:20what Ramos needs to do. If you look at the way the match has gone,
2:00:20 > 2:00:24although he did win the first set, Norrie has been the better player
2:00:24 > 2:00:29for quite some time now. If you're thinking from 4-0 down.
2:00:35 > 2:00:39It's not like he's having a purple patch or a few minutes, this is well
2:00:39 > 2:00:43over an hour when he has been the better player.
2:00:45 > 2:00:51He has two set points.
2:00:58 > 2:01:03An hour and 50 minutes they all stand together as one. Cameron
2:01:03 > 2:01:10Norrie has levelled the match. It 1-1.
2:01:17 > 2:01:24Just an astounding effort.Again after that first set everyone would
2:01:24 > 2:01:28have been thinking the momentum was with the higher ranked player,
2:01:28 > 2:01:33physically what does Norrie have left in the tank but not an issue in
2:01:33 > 2:01:39that sector really. A bit of a lull in the first couple of games and
2:01:39 > 2:01:43from their Cameron Norrie taking control I would say tactically the
2:01:43 > 2:01:49one thing he's done is he has probably upped his offensiveness by
2:01:49 > 2:01:55about 10%, you have seen him come up, it's a little subtle thing.
2:01:55 > 2:02:02We've talked about how happy he has been to trade, but when he's had the
2:02:02 > 2:02:06chance to get onto a slightly shorter ball, not necessarily coming
2:02:06 > 2:02:11into the net every time but moving up by a metre or so makes the
2:02:11 > 2:02:16opponent think OK, is he coming in or not? Is he just taking a bit of
2:02:16 > 2:02:20time away? The one thing about Ramos's game I noticed in the first
2:02:20 > 2:02:26set is although he started well when Norrie did take time away and hit a
2:02:26 > 2:02:29slightly bigger ground stroke is feel on the defensive shots was not
2:02:29 > 2:02:33quite there. He was still inconsistent. He was still hit into
2:02:33 > 2:02:37the fence with a few forehands. From Norrie's point of view keep doing
2:02:37 > 2:02:42what you are doing, he must us to feel what is going on and say is my
2:02:42 > 2:02:45opponent going to do something differently? Because otherwise there
2:02:45 > 2:02:54is no need to change anything.It'll be interesting to hear what Sergi
2:02:54 > 2:03:00Bruguera had to say to Ramos-Vinolas. John Lloyd coming in
2:03:00 > 2:03:10for the third set.
2:06:11 > 2:06:14Good start from Ramos-Vinolas, John Lloyd, what are your thoughts so
2:06:14 > 2:06:22far?Well, Cameron Norrie continues to amaze everybody I think. Amazes
2:06:22 > 2:06:28the Spanish team. I think the respect, watch the players in the
2:06:28 > 2:06:33box early on at 4-0 in the first set they were smiling and looking out,
2:06:33 > 2:06:37maybe he's a one match wonder but suddenly there are faces have
2:06:37 > 2:06:41started to change. As I think the captains did as well as his
2:06:41 > 2:06:49opponent. Cameron Norrie is here to stay. That second set, what ever
2:06:49 > 2:06:53happens in the match, was a measure of how far he has learned. Oh he is
2:06:53 > 2:07:00able to soak up and adapt and change and that's a big test. It's
2:07:00 > 2:07:06extraordinary what he's doing here. Keep wondering if the legs will go
2:07:06 > 2:07:14at some stage, the physicality, the mental... The mental pressure. He's
2:07:14 > 2:07:22not been in this position before but so far he still fresh. He's enjoying
2:07:22 > 2:07:26this match, he's enjoying the challenge, he's enjoying trying to
2:07:26 > 2:07:30find out different ways to impose himself on his opponent. It's such a
2:07:30 > 2:07:35pleasure because the captain cannot do it for you. The coach can do it
2:07:35 > 2:07:39for you. You have to do it yourself, you can talk about it but used to
2:07:39 > 2:07:46execute and that is what he has been doing so well.For a Sergi Bruguera,
2:07:46 > 2:07:49the Spanish captain, when someone is changing the tactics as much as
2:07:49 > 2:07:55Norrie is what will he be saying to his man, play your own game?I think
2:07:55 > 2:08:01he will. I think as good a player as Ramos-Vinolas is, he's a bit one
2:08:01 > 2:08:06paced. He doesn't seem to have much plan B. Cannot come in much, or he
2:08:06 > 2:08:11doesn't like to.
2:08:19 > 2:08:25I'm sure he'll be telling him to keep link. Use the drop shot a bit.
2:08:25 > 2:08:32Impose yourself. Just been these lapses from the Spaniard. A lot of
2:08:32 > 2:08:36it because of the way Cameron Norrie has played but there have been a few
2:08:36 > 2:08:42patches, we saw that in his first match as well. He would make
2:08:42 > 2:08:49mistakes in bunches, a couple of errant shots in a row, don't give
2:08:49 > 2:08:55anything away, smother your opponent and keep the pressure on.
2:09:05 > 2:09:12Lee Charles there, former British top ten player.
2:09:12 > 2:09:16top ten player. One of the coaches at Queen's, skiving off work!
2:09:24 > 2:09:29Another break point, four from six so far.
2:09:45 > 2:09:50So well done, made it really awkward, that volley.That looked
2:09:50 > 2:09:54like Cameron Norrie's point with a very good approach point. He's
2:09:54 > 2:09:58getting the fuel of him a little, knowing he was going to come in the,
2:09:58 > 2:10:03which was the right tactic, excellent chipped back and made the
2:10:03 > 2:10:09volley very difficult indeed. Leaving think break-up now, but you
2:10:09 > 2:10:13still don't feel that in this match. Neither of the servers are big
2:10:13 > 2:10:18weapons which is the one thing, you're going to get hits on Oliver
2:10:18 > 2:10:21serves almost all of the time.
2:10:27 > 2:10:32Has already been 11 breaks of serve in the match.Exactly, you don't see
2:10:32 > 2:10:39that often in men's tennis.
2:11:19 > 2:11:25That shot on the last point, the Spanish crowd walk up after the
2:11:25 > 2:11:29first day, it's like the expected this to be an easy match, on the
2:11:29 > 2:11:33first day it did not sound like we were in Spain at all. But now from
2:11:33 > 2:11:41the doubles yesterday and today we have got a real atmosphere.
2:12:06 > 2:12:10Just gone off the boil here are Norrie, for the first time in some
2:12:10 > 2:12:11time.
2:12:29 > 2:12:42Big come on from the Brit. Trying to drag himself back to full focus.
2:13:09 > 2:13:17Commanding lead, third set.It's extraordinary how the matches so
2:13:17 > 2:13:21topsy-turvy, you get a period of play where Norrie is dominating. It
2:13:21 > 2:13:27looks like the ball is coming faster off his racket, taking time away
2:13:27 > 2:13:34from his opponent then it flips the other way. Now it feels like
2:13:34 > 2:13:40Ramos-Vinolas is now dominating more with the speed of shocked. Maybe
2:13:40 > 2:13:45Norrie 's legs, the sharpness, just a split second late on ball, making
2:13:45 > 2:13:51a few mistakes. Can he rebound? Normally would say no, someone with
2:13:51 > 2:13:57the experience he has not had.He has gone into his seventh hour this
2:13:57 > 2:14:03weekend.Exactly. Going to places he has never been to. But he seems to
2:14:03 > 2:14:05have such resilience. I'm still not going to count him out yet. Still a
2:14:05 > 2:14:14long way to go.
2:14:21 > 2:14:328000 seater. Fully engaged.As they should be, what a match this is.
2:14:32 > 2:14:42Noreen needs the whole year.
2:14:46 > 2:14:57You tend to hear things, lose your focus and other things filter in.
2:14:57 > 2:15:00When you're in the zone and the ball is coming off your bracket
2:15:00 > 2:15:07beautifully you don't hear anything.
2:15:51 > 2:15:59Leon Smith sensing he needs an energy boost, to get charged up
2:15:59 > 2:16:08again. He's gone a bit flat, Norrie.
2:16:20 > 2:16:21Still got the confidence to do that.
2:16:28 > 2:16:31I cannot remember a bad volley he has hit in this tie. I'm not saying
2:16:31 > 2:16:36he has won every point when he's come in but his technique looks
2:16:36 > 2:16:46good.
2:16:47 > 2:16:53That was sort of sloppy, caught off balance.
2:16:55 > 2:17:04balance.We are almost where we were back at the start of the first set.
2:17:10 > 2:17:12Just his second ace.
2:18:15 > 2:18:20That's a good hold isn't it? Two excellent service, a couple of
2:18:20 > 2:18:25sloppy shots in that game but once again he finds away.Before that
2:18:25 > 2:18:30point, the way he looked around and took a huge deep breath, just
2:18:30 > 2:18:34gathering himself.
2:18:48 > 2:18:56You would think he would want to stand still for a minute!
2:19:05 > 2:19:06New balls.
2:19:31 > 2:19:39Shorter on that return. Telling himself to go forwards.
2:19:39 > 2:19:41himself to go forwards. Surrendering a bit too much of the court at the
2:19:41 > 2:19:44moment.
2:20:41 > 2:20:48So good.
2:21:00 > 2:21:0925 winners to 16 for Norrie.
2:21:25 > 2:21:31Two chances to get the break back. Two forehands in this game that he
2:21:31 > 2:21:39has sort of snatched the ball. Almost at the comfort of a double
2:21:39 > 2:21:44break but he didn't, very slender, the way he serves he doesn't get
2:21:44 > 2:21:51many free points and now he's back in trouble again.
2:22:47 > 2:22:54Set up nicely there as well. Had a chance to take charge of the
2:22:54 > 2:22:57forehand. Just pulled off it a little bit. Is there an element of
2:22:57 > 2:23:03doubt because of how Ramos-Vinolas has made him had tough volleys when
2:23:03 > 2:23:06he comes in?Possibly, just didn't quite get his balance right.
2:23:19 > 2:23:35Got it!Great anticipation. Wrong shot from the Spaniard.
2:23:35 > 2:23:40Still have to anticipate that, got to take fairly, that is what Norrie
2:23:40 > 2:23:46did. Excellent work.
2:24:09 > 2:24:20Amazing.Back on serve, third set.
2:24:20 > 2:24:26There is no doubt he has been battling himself and his focus,
2:24:26 > 2:24:31Norrie, but somehow still manages to drag himself back in.So many of
2:24:31 > 2:24:39these battles he has had to fight against in this match. A bad opening
2:24:39 > 2:24:44start where he was down, he could have doubted himself there but he
2:24:44 > 2:24:50didn't, he came back. Got through the second set and the third set the
2:24:50 > 2:24:54same situation. Looking a bit fatigued. Looking like his opponent
2:24:54 > 2:25:00was going to run away with the set and it comes back again. It
2:25:00 > 2:25:04surprises everybody I think, maybe even himself. I don't know. He seems
2:25:04 > 2:25:10very confident.Looking at the benches we've not seen a lot of the
2:25:10 > 2:25:13players there for a while which is a point you made to me coming back
2:25:13 > 2:25:19into the commentary box.We are all in the locker room at the moment!
2:25:19 > 2:25:24Double bluff.
2:25:28 > 2:25:39Double bluff. Broady, Edmund. Let's get to this match first.
2:25:44 > 2:25:55Back on serve in the third set.
2:26:34 > 2:26:38He has ring to the mark, saying that shot was long, does he agree? He
2:26:38 > 2:26:43does.
2:26:49 > 2:26:55Wants to know by how much.
2:27:22 > 2:27:30May be looking for the out: there. Just clipped the line didn't it? Who
2:27:30 > 2:27:33would be a captain?CHUCKLES
2:27:56 > 2:28:02Really well done. So cool now.
2:28:05 > 2:28:18Norrie read both of those passing shots. Unfortunately it sets up.
2:28:34 > 2:28:41Terrific.It really is.
2:28:45 > 2:28:58Some of the chances he is missed. He was so far out. Past the tramlines.
2:28:58 > 2:29:02Boy did he built that one away for break point.
2:29:42 > 2:29:47Finding his first serve when he really needs it. Another really good
2:29:47 > 2:30:02sign. Good 60% first serves and it was barely 40% at the start.
2:30:29 > 2:30:33The best player on the court yesterday in the doubles, Feliciano
2:30:33 > 2:30:36Lopez.He was so good.
2:30:58 > 2:31:05A few chances in that rally with a forehand to open up the court.
2:31:05 > 2:31:10Wimbledon champion last year. Their future is bright.
2:31:42 > 2:31:46The 13th break of serve in the match, the sixth for Albert
2:31:46 > 2:31:54Ramos-Vinolas. He is ahead again. Just slapped at a few forehands. It
2:31:54 > 2:31:58was like he wanted to end the pointer bit quicker. I don't know if
2:31:58 > 2:32:04that is a sign of fatigue. Not pulling the trigger on the right
2:32:04 > 2:32:08shots. Just going for it a little bit too much in the rally earlier
2:32:08 > 2:32:13on.When he first changed the tactic, Cameron Norrie, you would
2:32:13 > 2:32:17have come in on the second of those forehands. He is definitely weary
2:32:17 > 2:32:25now, isn't he?It seems like that. He seems to get this second wind
2:32:25 > 2:32:29when he just moves better than ever. But he is looking a little bit
2:32:29 > 2:32:31tired, no doubt about it.
2:32:51 > 2:32:55If that is right, in this third set, match that Great Britain has got to
2:32:55 > 2:32:59win of course, this third set is crucial.You would think so, by all
2:32:59 > 2:33:08logic, but there has not been much logic!
2:33:16 > 2:33:24He has broken seven times, Norrie.
2:33:46 > 2:33:52Errors now. Piling up.
2:33:55 > 2:34:01Just calm it down, just a little bit. Don't get negative, you have
2:34:01 > 2:34:05still got to be aggressive, but just pulling the trigger a little bit too
2:34:05 > 2:34:11early.
2:34:39 > 2:34:47The winners are 26-17 to the Brit.
2:35:20 > 2:35:29How did he win that point?That could be massive.
2:35:29 > 2:35:32could be massive.Staring at two break points down there. That
2:35:32 > 2:35:38tremendous
2:35:38 > 2:35:42tremendous lob got him out of trouble. No right to win that point,
2:35:42 > 2:35:49really.
2:35:53 > 2:36:01The animated people behind!
2:36:22 > 2:36:32So good. These are two huge points now. He has played two amazing
2:36:32 > 2:36:41points, hasn't he?
2:37:20 > 2:37:25It has got to be the way, hasn't it? If he gets past, two tougher
2:37:25 > 2:37:33volleys, then too good.That ball, he took it on, but you can only
2:37:33 > 2:37:36attack when the ball is in a certain area and he has been pushed back
2:37:36 > 2:37:41pretty deep in the last few games.
2:38:08 > 2:38:19Close, very close. There are lots of marks there now. I think it has been
2:38:19 > 2:38:25conceded by Ramos-Vinolas. This point will be replayed.
2:39:06 > 2:39:10Nicely done. I thought the ball was wide in that rally. But it was
2:39:10 > 2:39:18called good. A well
2:39:18 > 2:39:19called good. A well worked point from Vinolas. You don't see him
2:39:19 > 2:39:24coming to the net too often but that was a good one to attack on, a solid
2:39:24 > 2:39:26volley.
2:39:42 > 2:39:54What was that?A bad bounce? It wasn't that bad, was it?I didn't
2:39:54 > 2:40:01think so either!Perhaps different options and he picked the wrong one?
2:40:34 > 2:40:43Not the time. Not the time for poor points in a row.His seventh double
2:40:43 > 2:40:48fault. Another lifeline.
2:41:28 > 2:41:39It is wide! Norrie has broken again! Incredible. He has got this in
2:41:39 > 2:41:45eighth ability to put almost, it seems, anything and everything
2:41:45 > 2:41:49behind him. The easiest thing to say in the world, one point at a time,
2:41:49 > 2:41:54and Rafa talks about that endlessly even on this surface, but it implies
2:41:54 > 2:41:59that. What happened in that one game?It was a huge game. It is huge
2:41:59 > 2:42:05but you have got to give Norrie huge credit here, fantastic. But
2:42:05 > 2:42:12reversing it, to Vinolas, he then had a chance. Someone of his
2:42:12 > 2:42:16ranking, normally when they get a player on the ropes, that is when
2:42:16 > 2:42:20they close. Whenever you seems to get into a winning position, he
2:42:20 > 2:42:23blinks and hesitates. He served a double fault and he missed an easy
2:42:23 > 2:42:29forehand. That is what this is those uprising. I am sure that is what the
2:42:29 > 2:42:33Spanish captain must be thinking. You have got this man on the ropes
2:42:33 > 2:42:36and you have got too close and you are not doing it. All credit to the
2:42:36 > 2:42:40Brit, obviously, and it is amazing the way he keeps fighting back, but
2:42:40 > 2:42:45for a player of his ability, Vinolas has just not played well when he has
2:42:45 > 2:42:49been up. It is almost like he needs a double break for security every
2:42:49 > 2:42:54time. Every time he gets up a break, you don't think the set is over. We
2:42:54 > 2:42:59talk about locker room respect, and what Norrie achieved on Friday must
2:42:59 > 2:43:06be in the Spaniard's had going forwards.It must be.
2:43:07 > 2:43:10forwards.It must be.Norrie must think nothing can hurt me and I can
2:43:10 > 2:43:15come back whenever I need to. His faith in himself is extraordinary.
2:43:15 > 2:43:24It is not logical what he is doing. It continues. 3-4, third set.This
2:43:24 > 2:43:31is a fascinating set.
2:43:43 > 2:43:57It wasn't the best approach shot there. Got away with it.
2:44:34 > 2:44:45Oh! I thought when that lob went over that it was the end of the
2:44:45 > 2:44:52point. 30-15. So did the captain. He thought this point was in the bag.
2:44:52 > 2:44:57He jumped too soon and he hit the ball late. It got behind him.
2:45:34 > 2:45:40He worked for it so hard, the right ball to come in offer well
2:45:40 > 2:45:50constructed point.
2:45:53 > 2:46:01-- off a well constructive point.
2:46:02 > 2:46:09What do time for that! Swinging away, just clipped the edge of the
2:46:09 > 2:46:17line. A bonus.
2:46:40 > 2:46:45Again, totally dominated by Norrie. He was down 15-30 and he played two
2:46:45 > 2:46:49sloppy boys in a row, and we thought he had got sloppy and he would lose
2:46:49 > 2:46:56the break. Then he just bounces back. He has done this so often in
2:46:56 > 2:47:03the two matches that he has played. It is staggering.He just refuses to
2:47:03 > 2:47:14stand still.Just a constant process.
2:47:17 > 2:47:19Pressure back to the Spaniard.
2:49:24 > 2:49:35Two forehand errors in a row. Huge point coming up here.
2:50:04 > 2:50:12That was a pity. A good length serve.
2:51:16 > 2:51:24With the errors so far, they are both feeling it.Again you would
2:51:24 > 2:51:28think the Spaniard would play with the wins that he has had... But this
2:51:28 > 2:51:35is Davis Cup different type of tension.
2:51:47 > 2:51:53Another very makeable return. This game has been pretty poor from both
2:51:53 > 2:52:02players.
2:52:30 > 2:52:35I think he has just dragged it wide. He has.Norrie thought he had made
2:52:35 > 2:52:43it when he hit it.5-4, Spain.
2:52:43 > 2:52:45it when he hit it.5-4, Spain. A relieved captain there. That was a
2:52:45 > 2:52:56shaky game at times but he got the job done somehow.
2:53:16 > 2:53:24It is a gruelling match.He will need some more of that stuff,
2:53:24 > 2:53:34whatever it is.He is hard at work again, Sergei Bruguera. He doesn't
2:53:34 > 2:53:41give his player time to have a drink!
2:53:41 > 2:53:48drink!What, no drink?I wonder how much Vinolas is listening or taking
2:53:48 > 2:53:55in.He is making a response now. OK.
2:54:05 > 2:54:09We have seen a player blossom this weekend in Cameron Norrie,
2:54:09 > 2:54:14absolutely no doubt about it. What a performance. Incredible. And serving
2:54:14 > 2:54:16to stay in set three.
2:54:36 > 2:54:40I didn't tell you to do that, forehand out and the return. On the
2:54:40 > 2:54:50line.
2:55:10 > 2:55:19I can't believe he won that point. How did that go in?I don't know.
2:55:19 > 2:55:33Those shot. This one. -- bizarre shot.
2:55:58 > 2:56:06That is impressive. Love hold.4-5. I thought that was going to be a
2:56:06 > 2:56:14long, tight game and he won easily. He just marches around the court.
2:56:14 > 2:56:24Such a tempo.Fantastic game. Now the pressure switches big time.
2:56:29 > 2:56:34He must be dizzy, walking round in circles. Wondering how he is keeping
2:56:34 > 2:56:42ongoing. He has never done this before, not even remotely!
2:56:42 > 2:56:46before, not even remotely! He has done it in his mind, I guess. He has
2:56:46 > 2:56:51visualised this occasion. Shaking hands as the winner.
2:57:13 > 2:57:24He has got him!This is ridiculous.
2:57:24 > 2:57:30That lob comes up and you think Boyd over, but he doesn't think so. He is
2:57:30 > 2:57:34getting the crowd going now. We are playing away, by the way! Look at
2:57:34 > 2:57:39the faces. People can't believe it. I think the neutrals and even some
2:57:39 > 2:57:43of the Spanish supporters are admiring him for what he is doing.
2:57:43 > 2:57:51How on earth did he win that point?
2:58:39 > 2:58:47What a pity that was. So much time on that one. There was no speed on
2:58:47 > 2:58:53that serve whatsoever. Too many options.
2:59:15 > 2:59:25Fourth place.
2:59:27 > 2:59:36-- fourth ace.
2:59:54 > 2:59:58I thought for a second that was going out. A lot of top-spin on it.
2:59:58 > 3:00:04It's dropped quickly inside the baseline.
3:00:32 > 3:00:38Spain hold.
3:00:39 > 3:00:44What a match this is turning out to be, we were keen to come off air on
3:00:44 > 3:00:49BBC Two but we are staying with it, so for now we are staying alive to
3:00:49 > 3:01:00continue enjoying this tussle.
3:01:06 > 3:01:10COMMENTATOR:It is extraordinary, I have never seen a captain and player
3:01:10 > 3:01:15talk this much between games.Were other times when your captain that
3:01:15 > 3:01:20you thought you would wait and see if your player said anything?It
3:01:20 > 3:01:24would depend on who the player was. The younger players, you feel like
3:01:24 > 3:01:29you need to engage them almost all the time because they don't have the
3:01:29 > 3:01:32experience. But the likes of Andy Murray and Tim Henman, you don't
3:01:32 > 3:01:38have to say much. Greg is its key would say it for himself, he did not
3:01:38 > 3:01:46had to say much to him! It's the difference. But Sergi Bruguera, he
3:01:46 > 3:01:51finds the way to go about it is to talk to both of his players who are
3:01:51 > 3:01:56opening top 20 and he keeps on saying stuff. Different styles I
3:01:56 > 3:02:01suppose.
3:02:04 > 3:02:08suppose.They are Spain without Rafa Nadal. We are Great Britain without
3:02:08 > 3:02:13Andy Murray. We talked about the greater depth in Spanish tennis but
3:02:13 > 3:02:16he is still an experienced himself and he has a chance to take Spain to
3:02:16 > 3:02:22the quarterfinals. Getting over the line is not going to be easy.
3:02:38 > 3:02:43He was overall bit defence there I thought, the Spaniard. Short
3:02:43 > 3:02:57forehand. Did not do much on the passing shot attempt.
3:03:04 > 3:03:10That is nine points in a row from Norrie.
3:03:39 > 3:03:45Missed it. That almost went in slow motion, the end of that point. Hit
3:03:45 > 3:03:52the line didn't it?I thought so, but there is a mark there.New
3:03:52 > 3:03:58cannot challenge now, even get me to look at it. He's not going to move
3:03:58 > 3:04:06from his seat.
3:04:11 > 3:04:22The referee...You how to stop it, if it is out it is out.He is saying
3:04:22 > 3:04:26he had to look down, he was preparing to hit the shots. But 40-0
3:04:26 > 3:04:34it is.
3:04:57 > 3:05:04Another love hold. Hasn't lost a point on serve since been 15-30 down
3:05:04 > 3:05:11and 3-4. We have another tie-break. Remarkable.As if there was not
3:05:11 > 3:05:17enough drama.You would normally see in this situation that Cameron
3:05:17 > 3:05:21Norrie has to win this third set just because of the logic of the
3:05:21 > 3:05:28five sets but there is no logic with Cameron Norrie.East Alex Price
3:05:28 > 3:05:34doesn't he?Obviously it's a crucial tie-break but whoever wins it, you
3:05:34 > 3:05:43don't feel like it's the end of the match by any means.
3:05:55 > 3:06:04Brilliant.
3:06:10 > 3:06:18Cannot fault Cameron Norrie on this point. That was just too good.
3:06:42 > 3:06:51So good. So precise.He read that drop volley very quickly.
3:06:55 > 3:07:08This one, he was already moving. Not easy. Low ball, passing from that
3:07:08 > 3:07:18position, considering how important that point was. Superb.
3:07:18 > 3:07:22that point was. Superb.Went 2-1 up in the first set in the break then
3:07:22 > 3:07:30lost three points in a row.
3:08:15 > 3:08:20Just got his feet tangled.
3:08:30 > 3:08:34Quite a few mounds of clay, a few dodgy bounces at the back end of
3:08:34 > 3:08:44such a long set.
3:09:11 > 3:09:29He's done it. It's like these mini-breaks mean nothing.
3:09:36 > 3:09:45INAUDIBLE
3:10:25 > 3:10:33Was it out? Was it out? It is all kicking off year! I don't know what
3:10:33 > 3:10:38Sergi Bruguera problem was, Cameron Norrie just wanted to get on with
3:10:38 > 3:10:54it. It's in!It's good!BOOING Have to replay the point.
3:10:55 > 3:11:02Have to replay the point.The umpire overruled call. It's his fault.As
3:11:02 > 3:11:08if there wasn't enough to contend with.
3:11:12 > 3:11:24Gone into a fourth hour. First serve again.
3:12:01 > 3:12:11What a point. What a point from both players. This is fantastic tennis.
3:12:14 > 3:12:18Ramos-Vinolas, the way he improvised with the backhand slice, to get that
3:12:18 > 3:12:26ball down. He has dealt with Norrie coming forward with outstandingly
3:12:26 > 3:12:32well. Had to hit that hard, if you have thwarted that at all, it's all
3:12:32 > 3:12:38going off now. Can you send somebody to the standing tennis?Tensions are
3:12:38 > 3:12:45very high. It means so much. Fantastic atmosphere, I love this.
3:12:45 > 3:12:55He's got to come back for the umpteenth time, Norrie.
3:12:56 > 3:13:03Would you be surprised if he did? No.
3:13:03 > 3:13:10No.He thought he was going to have an easy job this weekend!
3:13:31 > 3:13:40What a return of serve he had there as well. That is what he plays the
3:13:40 > 3:13:43points for, to get himself set up to finish with a forehand. That is
3:13:43 > 3:13:48tension.
3:13:59 > 3:14:10His demeanour is so good. He just looks so calm.
3:15:11 > 3:15:17One double length, dealing with that, not easy.He made it look easy
3:15:17 > 3:15:23and it was not. At 4-4 in the tie-breaker, low ball like that,
3:15:23 > 3:15:30hitting it two inches from the baseline. It's a privilege to watch
3:15:30 > 3:15:39this match. The drama, it is incredible.
3:16:14 > 3:16:20He has got a dilemma, do I go in or not?First shot he had a chance to
3:16:20 > 3:16:26go in and he hesitated.
3:16:26 > 3:16:31go in and he hesitated.A pat on the back for Ramos-Vinolas for that.He
3:16:31 > 3:16:42was not going to miss that.Two set points.
3:17:07 > 3:17:12Spain are one sick away from the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup.
3:17:12 > 3:17:17Ramos-Vinolas wins his second tie-break of the match. Spain lead
3:17:17 > 3:17:232-1. STUDIO: This is the first singles match on this final day of
3:17:23 > 3:17:30this tie in Spain. We were just wondering who would play the last
3:17:30 > 3:17:35match, it may be irrelevant if Spain can get one more set but what a
3:17:35 > 3:17:38fight this is, what an incredible match both players are playing.
3:17:38 > 3:17:42Looks like they may be leaving the court which might give us some time
3:17:42 > 3:17:47but that is the match as it stands. Still all to play for in this match
3:17:47 > 3:17:51and if I can talk to the guys in the commentary box first of all about
3:17:51 > 3:17:56this guy, he is under such extreme pressure playing a player ranked a
3:17:56 > 3:18:00in the world, and inspired opponent and he held his nerve well on the
3:18:00 > 3:18:05crucial points.What an incredible third set, the tie-breaker. I am
3:18:05 > 3:18:14just amazed by Cameron Norrie, how well he has played. You have to give
3:18:14 > 3:18:18credit to Ramos-Vinolas, there were times he would so tight but somehow
3:18:18 > 3:18:24he got through. What is set. Now can Cameron Norrie come back again?
3:18:24 > 3:18:29Normally would say no chance, he is done, with the lack of experience he
3:18:29 > 3:18:35has, but he still looks fresh. Every time he is surprising, every set,
3:18:35 > 3:18:40you still think he's in the match. Extraordinary.It is wonderful to
3:18:40 > 3:18:44sit here and applaud the pride and passion and spirit he plays in these
3:18:44 > 3:18:50matches, everything you want.Look at many times he has changed the way
3:18:50 > 3:18:53he's played in the match tactically, when he's been in trouble, he has
3:18:53 > 3:18:59altered it. It is not one paced. You think for the future, how far can
3:18:59 > 3:19:07you go up the rankings? Will this be his favourite surface? Can he play
3:19:07 > 3:19:11like this and other services? He can at lower levels but now you look at
3:19:11 > 3:19:15him and think where can he go? I think he can go very high. This is a
3:19:15 > 3:19:19man who knows what he wants and believes in himself and there is
3:19:19 > 3:19:24variety in his game. It is not in any way one paced. If he can improve
3:19:24 > 3:19:29his serve a little bit and make it more of a weapon why not? He can go
3:19:29 > 3:19:36all the way.Talking of weapons, he can do anything with the forehand
3:19:36 > 3:19:40and the wide forehand he gets angles people cannot get.Exactly. We
3:19:40 > 3:19:44forget about his backhand because his forehand is so good. But some
3:19:44 > 3:19:49tremendous backhand is particularly down the line. This short backswing
3:19:49 > 3:19:54he has. Tactically he's been so good, good to drop shot. And the
3:19:54 > 3:19:57volley has been excellent. He's not come in the net all the time, but
3:19:57 > 3:20:03when he has I think he's been immaculate in that area as well. He
3:20:03 > 3:20:08is quick and physically what a specimen he is. First Davis Cup
3:20:08 > 3:20:11match, played a four our match, he is now into the fourth hour and
3:20:11 > 3:20:18still looks fresh. It's the best Davis Cup debut I've ever seen in a
3:20:18 > 3:20:25tie.And he is not out of this. The points system in tennis is
3:20:25 > 3:20:29brilliant. There cannot be many points between these players, just a
3:20:29 > 3:20:32couple towards the end of the tie-break but he's right in this
3:20:32 > 3:20:38match.Certainly, you could see the relief on the face of Sergi Bruguera
3:20:38 > 3:20:44when he won the point because that third was beyond belief. He knows
3:20:44 > 3:20:49his player is tight and he had to get over the line at 2-1, now he's
3:20:49 > 3:20:52got a little breathing space but you can see how animated he still is.
3:20:52 > 3:20:58He's going to get himself in trouble if he is not careful here.We will
3:20:58 > 3:21:02hand back to say we are staying with the tennis here on BBC Two so sit
3:21:02 > 3:21:12back and enjoy this one with us. COMMENTATOR: And to think Cameron
3:21:12 > 3:21:18Norrie only started concentrating on playing tennis at the age of 15.
3:21:18 > 3:21:30Just making his point very firmly, Sergi Bruguera.
3:21:30 > 3:21:34Sergi Bruguera. Jamie Baker has come in for the fourth set, amazing what
3:21:34 > 3:21:43we are seeing, whatever next. Can Cameron Norrie keep going?Why not.
3:21:43 > 3:21:47The evidence we have seen over the last few matches he's played suggest
3:21:47 > 3:21:56he's not going to go away. Mentally he's not going anywhere. Unless his
3:21:56 > 3:22:00body packs up and he hits the wall he will be right back in this match.
3:22:14 > 3:22:20Tactically? It's a bit of a dilemma how much to go in, whether he can go
3:22:20 > 3:22:24in because the Spaniard has dealt with it brilliantly of late.Yes
3:22:24 > 3:22:28that tactic worked well in the last match and has worked well in this
3:22:28 > 3:22:30match as well but as you rightly say, Ramos-Vinolas has come up with
3:22:30 > 3:22:37a bit of an answer to it recently.
3:22:48 > 3:22:54I thought Ramos-Vinolas should all of his experience in the
3:22:54 > 3:22:58tie-breaker, he locked down and said I'm not going to miss the court. Not
3:22:58 > 3:23:02trying to do too much with the ball so you did not see any of those wild
3:23:02 > 3:23:05forehand is we have seen at different times in the match. He
3:23:05 > 3:23:13just did not make a mistake in the tie-break. Now serve and volley. He
3:23:13 > 3:23:25has the answer for. First time I have seen him smile. In the match.
3:23:44 > 3:23:49That is just stunning. No angle. That return was bang up the middle
3:23:49 > 3:23:54of the court.
3:24:29 > 3:24:42Early break third set.Ramos-Vinolas searching for it again.
3:24:57 > 3:25:03I will just go back to hitting winners from the baseline then!You
3:25:03 > 3:25:09have to be very relaxed to be able to unleash shots like that. Very
3:25:09 > 3:25:18impressive.
3:25:49 > 3:25:58Beautifully timed.The Spaniard noticed Cameron Norrie was stuck a
3:25:58 > 3:26:03little bit further behind the baseline and he normally has been.
3:26:03 > 3:26:08Add to cover a lot of ground to get to that ball.
3:26:56 > 3:27:09That's another one which finds the line. How cool was that?That ball
3:27:09 > 3:27:14looked out, every single way, until it bounced.Ramos cannot believe it.
3:27:14 > 3:27:23Must have been outside of the line.
3:27:44 > 3:27:48Not one sign yet, no wonder the smile again, that Norrie is
3:27:48 > 3:27:52struggling physically. We now he backs himself physically but did he
3:27:52 > 3:28:01think he could back himself this much?
3:28:42 > 3:28:50Third break point in the game.
3:29:00 > 3:29:13It is wide. Spain get the early break in the fourth set.
3:29:13 > 3:29:16break in the fourth set.Definitely not the ideal start for Cameron
3:29:16 > 3:29:24Norrie however it's happened in the first set. And the third set. Did
3:29:24 > 3:29:31not have a massive bearing on how those sets ended up. How many times
3:29:31 > 3:29:36can you keep coming back and keep digging in and finding something a
3:29:36 > 3:29:38bit extra?
3:29:45 > 3:30:00Straight round, Norrie. No chat with Lee Smith. -- Leon Smith.
3:30:32 > 3:30:40We are staying alive with the tennis on BBC Two.
3:30:40 > 3:30:46on BBC Two. -- staying live.
3:31:00 > 3:31:07There is a calmness about Vinolas right now which is worrying from the
3:31:07 > 3:31:17British perspective.
3:31:19 > 3:31:30Is he holding his leg? Stunning. Free-flowing now, Ramos-Vinolas.
3:31:58 > 3:32:09Love hold to back up the break. ET finally breaking the Norrie
3:32:09 > 3:32:15resistance? He wants the crowd to add their weight. Sensing the moment
3:32:15 > 3:32:17here.
3:32:26 > 3:32:31It has taken three hours and 22 minutes.
3:33:02 > 3:33:08I suppose that is the one piece of criticism that you could throw at
3:33:08 > 3:33:13Ramos-Vinolas. As brilliant as Norrie has been, he has had the
3:33:13 > 3:33:17opportunities, really in every single set, to really hammer home
3:33:17 > 3:33:21the lead. For whatever reason, whether it is because Norrie is
3:33:21 > 3:33:29playing well or lost points from him, he hasn't managed to do that.
3:33:29 > 3:33:37The last eight points, Ramos-Vinolas.
3:33:44 > 3:33:48We have learned to say never say never with Norrie but surely this is
3:33:48 > 3:33:58a must win service game.
3:34:07 > 3:34:17He is really going for it now.The racket head speed on that backhand
3:34:17 > 3:34:22in that game, we haven't seen that on the backhand side in the whole
3:34:22 > 3:34:34match. The sign of a confidence that he has got in his leads now.
3:34:34 > 3:34:43he has got in his leads now.If he can withstand this,
3:34:43 > 3:34:51can withstand this, Norrie, then...
3:34:58 > 3:35:04Applauded by Ramos-Vinolas and rightly so.
3:35:08 > 3:35:12There was some extra meat on those forehands by Ramos-Vinolas as well.
3:35:12 > 3:35:16He did so well to state in that point let alone hit the winner at
3:35:16 > 3:35:22the end of it.
3:35:22 > 3:35:41Just a fantastic hold. His opponent threw everything at him.
3:35:43 > 3:35:47That could unsettle you. He has been broken a number of times in the
3:35:47 > 3:35:52match. We have talked about that. All the breaks we have had in this
3:35:52 > 3:35:58match, one break is absolutely nothing, is it? He was definitely
3:35:58 > 3:36:06getting a hint of the knockout punch in that game, Norrie. A fantastic
3:36:06 > 3:36:10hold and some great tennis in there.
3:36:22 > 3:36:28He has had so much to say! Trying to get his man over the line.Talking
3:36:28 > 3:36:37about his left hand and he doesn't even play left-handed!A wonderful
3:36:37 > 3:36:40venue and atmosphere. It has been quite chilly but everybody warmed up
3:36:40 > 3:36:49by the efforts.
3:36:49 > 3:36:59by the efforts. 2-1 insects and games, -- in sets and games,
3:36:59 > 3:37:04Ramos-Vinolas trying to secure the win for Spain.
3:38:02 > 3:38:08He has had a lot of success stepping in and making Ramos-Vinolas feel
3:38:08 > 3:38:11like his second serve is not doing enough and just overcooking that
3:38:11 > 3:38:18one.
3:38:55 > 3:39:10Two love service game is in a row. Tightening the screw.
3:39:10 > 3:39:16Two dead rubbers. He lost two live rubbers in his Davis Cup career.
3:39:16 > 3:39:26Huge moment for Ramos-Vinolas.
3:39:34 > 3:39:44He would love the double break.
3:40:49 > 3:40:58That higher, heavy forehand to Ramos-Vinolas's backhand worked well
3:40:58 > 3:41:02again, but probably not the right shot for Norrie to attack. The ball
3:41:02 > 3:41:09was a little bit deeper.
3:41:15 > 3:41:26Two insurance points for Spain.
3:41:36 > 3:41:46He has got it! Impossible for Norrie to have given more. How much does he
3:41:46 > 3:41:52have left? This comeback would be the comeback of all comebacks. 4-1
3:41:52 > 3:41:59down. Double break, fourth set.Yes, it is hard to see any way back from
3:41:59 > 3:42:06here, really. I think Ramos-Vinolas hasn't done much differently in this
3:42:06 > 3:42:13set. He has just maintained his level, as we thought he would do. It
3:42:13 > 3:42:18feels like Norrie's intensity just dropped slightly. I am sure
3:42:18 > 3:42:21physically he is feeling it slightly, but I think probably the
3:42:21 > 3:42:28mental strain of being in this position for the first time and
3:42:28 > 3:42:32having done what he did on Friday, it is absolutely normal. And it only
3:42:32 > 3:42:35takes a few percent to drop, and he makes a couple of errors, and that
3:42:35 > 3:42:43makes the difference.In a way, he will still make the headlines.
3:42:43 > 3:42:49Everything we have seen from him this weekend. We are going to see an
3:42:49 > 3:42:54awful lot more of Cameron Norrie in the future as well.When we saw that
3:42:54 > 3:42:59he was making his debut this weekend, nobody could have imagined
3:42:59 > 3:43:04the quality of his tennis, forgetting about the heart of the
3:43:04 > 3:43:08Davis Cup. The quality of his tennis has been unbelievably exciting for
3:43:08 > 3:43:16what might be coming in the future from him.
3:43:17 > 3:43:23And in this match.
3:44:29 > 3:44:32Playing with total freedom now. It has taken so long to get to this
3:44:32 > 3:44:41stage. He is very, very impressive here now.
3:45:05 > 3:45:14Not sure if this serve-volley is go to tactic for Ramos-Vinolas.Is that
3:45:14 > 3:45:17a sign of overconfidence?Maybe brain freeze.
3:46:34 > 3:46:40How many times have we seen him use that play over the last few matches?
3:46:40 > 3:46:42He really has come forward so well.
3:48:54 > 3:49:00Still keeps coming.Sticking to his game plan, doing all the right
3:49:00 > 3:49:06things.How proud he must be.
3:49:21 > 3:49:30That is just fabulous.He has hit a couple of those backhand slices
3:49:30 > 3:49:36which have just been absolutely knifed down the line, over the net
3:49:36 > 3:49:42from a very defensive position. Very hard for the net player to do
3:49:42 > 3:49:50anything with that.
3:49:54 > 3:49:59Still saying come on!
3:50:12 > 3:50:25He asks this serve it out question over Ramos-Vinolas.So good!It is
3:50:25 > 3:50:30so good.
3:50:30 > 3:50:34so good.It would have been very easy for that to drift away in that
3:50:34 > 3:50:38game. I have said before that his intensity probably dropped a little,
3:50:38 > 3:50:44but he has kept on going. Coming forward again. Three out of the four
3:50:44 > 3:50:49points that he won in that game have been at the net and that tactic has
3:50:49 > 3:50:55worked really well.
3:50:59 > 3:51:08Four hours and one minute. His debut on Friday. A phenomenal comeback win
3:51:08 > 3:51:12from two sets down against a world-class player on a surface he
3:51:12 > 3:51:22grew up on. Cameron Norrie has grown into play this weekend. Quite
3:51:22 > 3:51:28literally. -- grown into
3:51:36 > 3:51:41clay. How much left?
3:51:54 > 3:52:03Serving for the tie, Ramos-Vinolas, after three hours and 41 minutes.
3:52:52 > 3:52:57What a great position to be in as a Spanish player. High pressure
3:52:57 > 3:53:01situation like this. Looking across your bench and having a reassuring
3:53:01 > 3:53:06nod from so many world-class players who have been there, done that, you
3:53:06 > 3:53:15respect them, they are run your side. It must feel great.
3:53:26 > 3:53:40Only last two points on serve this set. -- only lost two points.
3:53:40 > 3:53:42set. -- only lost two points. Third tie for Spain.
3:53:57 > 3:54:01He holds to love to secure the tie win. What a proud moment for Albert
3:54:01 > 3:54:11Ramos-Vinolas. For the first time he has led his country to win. They are
3:54:11 > 3:54:15through to the quarterfinals. For Cameron Norrie, such pride for his
3:54:15 > 3:54:23efforts as well. In the end, it just wasn't enough today.
3:54:24 > 3:54:26wasn't enough today. A magnificent match. A magnificent effort from
3:54:26 > 3:54:31both men.
3:54:50 > 3:54:54Thanks to Chris. As Ramos-Vinolas celebrates and Norrie goes around
3:54:54 > 3:54:58the team, everybody is patting him on the back. John Lloyd, it has been
3:54:58 > 3:55:03a terrific effort from Norrie but Ramos-Vinolas kept his nerve on the
3:55:03 > 3:55:08big points and that is not the big players do.Just outside the top 20.
3:55:08 > 3:55:11He has been there, done it and played in the big event and he came
3:55:11 > 3:55:15through when he needed to. That tie-breaker in the third was the
3:55:15 > 3:55:20crucial period. He stepped up his game right when he needed to. It was
3:55:20 > 3:55:26a tremendous match. Cameron Norrie, what a performance. His performance
3:55:26 > 3:55:29today was brilliant as well. To go up against a world-class players
3:55:29 > 3:55:34like he has done with no experience, and just to embrace this occasion
3:55:34 > 3:55:42like he has in the Davis Cup, it is quite extraordinary. We have another
3:55:42 > 3:55:45player coming up now who will be tremendous. And what a back up, if
3:55:45 > 3:55:50he is going to be a backer, at some stage you knows what he can be? He
3:55:50 > 3:55:56just makes the Davis Cup team so much stronger. Why can't he played
3:55:56 > 3:56:00very good singles on any surface? Following his progress over the past
3:56:00 > 3:56:05few years, you will know he is coming up, and exciting talent. I
3:56:05 > 3:56:10never imagined he would come out and play like that on his Davis Cup
3:56:10 > 3:56:14debut, never playing on clay courts in a professional tournament before,
3:56:14 > 3:56:19and just to come out on such a big occasion with pressure on his
3:56:19 > 3:56:22shoulders, it just bodes well for the future.It does. He loves the
3:56:22 > 3:56:26big occasion and there is nothing bigger than what he has just played.
3:56:26 > 3:56:31Davis Cup, your debut, to go out and not be timid, to go for it, the
3:56:31 > 3:56:35strength and physicality he had in that first match, to come back and
3:56:35 > 3:56:38beat a world-class player as he did, and almost win this match. This
3:56:38 > 3:56:50match was close, and it could have gone
3:56:52 > 3:56:54either way.A staggering performance and one of the most impressive
3:56:54 > 3:56:57debuts of all time. Absolutely. That is the result. Spain go through to
3:56:57 > 3:56:59face Germany in the quarterfinals. Such a good effort from both single
3:56:59 > 3:57:01players. Liam Broady played extremely well in the opening match.
3:57:01 > 3:57:04Wonderful from Norrie. It all bodes well for the future. Kyle Edmund
3:57:04 > 3:57:08will come back and Andy Murray will be fit again and Dan Evans could be
3:57:08 > 3:57:12back in the team as well. It is looking good.I would say so. If he
3:57:12 > 3:57:17can get the full team out, what the team. If he can get Andy Murray and
3:57:17 > 3:57:23Kyle Edmund back, it is right there. Now we have the backer, a five-man
3:57:23 > 3:57:28team. Doubles, we could win the Davis Cup multiple times.If
3:57:28 > 3:57:33everybody commits to playing. Jamie, watching that match, he just played
3:57:33 > 3:57:37so well. The manner in which he embraced the whole situation, he
3:57:37 > 3:57:43looked at home.From the moment he walked out on Friday, and that is
3:57:43 > 3:57:47something he told that with the team and Leon Smith, he had a smile on
3:57:47 > 3:57:53his face from the first ball. The quality of his tennis was one thing
3:57:53 > 3:57:57and you can talk about that by itself. It was fantastic. But I
3:57:57 > 3:58:00think that stems from the attitude. You could tell that he absolutely
3:58:00 > 3:58:05loves the occasion and the energy. He loved being the front man of the
3:58:05 > 3:58:10team that everybody behind him. His ability to recover from setbacks,
3:58:10 > 3:58:14things that really went wrong, he didn't carry any baggage. It was not
3:58:14 > 3:58:19like he was having a mental lull. That is a unique skill. For somebody
3:58:19 > 3:58:23who has not been in many big situations like that, do not think
3:58:23 > 3:58:29maybe that is the only chance I will get, for his head not to drop, that
3:58:29 > 3:58:33is really exciting for the future, and mentality like that.That is not
3:58:33 > 3:58:38something you can teach. It is something deep inside you.They have
3:58:38 > 3:58:42a good team around them and very good captain that you have got to
3:58:42 > 3:58:45still believe it. They can say what they like but if you don't take it
3:58:45 > 3:58:49in and believe in yourself, the first crisis point, you can go into
3:58:49 > 3:58:53yourself. When he started off, he was down early on in the match on
3:58:53 > 3:58:57the first day. Down two sets to love and a break and absolutely no panic
3:58:57 > 3:59:02whatsoever. Again you can have everybody telling you not to panic,
3:59:02 > 3:59:07but you do, most people, especially on your debut. But he came out with
3:59:07 > 3:59:11total belief.It was extraordinary. The way he was mixing it up, he was
3:59:11 > 3:59:18thinking as the match progressed, throwing junk shots into his
3:59:18 > 3:59:22opponent, not just looking at the same game all the time.That is the
3:59:22 > 3:59:25other thing. If you are determined and you have the right believe, that
3:59:25 > 3:59:28is one thing, but if you don't have the quality in the tennis that will
3:59:28 > 3:59:33only get you so far. The quality of his tennis, I know somebody just
3:59:33 > 3:59:36outside the top 100 is a very good tennis player and we all understand
3:59:36 > 3:59:40that, but what he was able to do on a clay court for the first time,
3:59:40 > 3:59:45just like you said. His variety, coming into the net, so successful.
3:59:45 > 3:59:49It feel around the net for somebody who does not come across as a net
3:59:49 > 3:59:53player really, it was fantastic and his forehand could be world-class.
3:59:53 > 4:00:01He could come in and put a bit of pace on it.Very exciting.
4:00:03 > 4:00:04pace on it.Very exciting. Tactical brain as well. Let's enjoy some of
4:00:04 > 4:00:07those points again. He didn't win the match but he played some of the
4:00:07 > 4:00:10best points during the four sets and we will just enjoy some of them. Its
4:00:10 > 4:00:16movement and the forehand, such a weapon.He was pulled out wide, on
4:00:16 > 4:00:19the forehand side particularly, and you thought that point was done, but
4:00:19 > 4:00:23he not only got to it, he hit winners of it. The scrambling
4:00:23 > 4:00:30ability he had, there were so many times! That one was ridiculous.To
4:00:30 > 4:00:37get an angle like that, it is almost not possible.
4:00:39 > 4:00:43You could put some of these in any Hall of Fame and say they are right
4:00:43 > 4:00:48up there with the best points.We talked about the variety of his play
4:00:48 > 4:00:52but not intimidated at all by who is down the other end, showing no
4:00:52 > 4:00:57respect for the world ranking at all.That is what was amazing and at
4:00:57 > 4:01:05this point it is a prime example, more than happy to go toe to toe
4:01:05 > 4:01:13with one...One of the best clay-court players around.That was
4:01:13 > 4:01:16the drop volley which almost back spun back into the net. These are
4:01:16 > 4:01:23long points. These are absolutely fantastic to win points, and coming
4:01:23 > 4:01:27at the end of 15, 20, 30 shot rallies. Physically stepping up to
4:01:27 > 4:01:33the line and doing it again and again.It seemed towards the end,
4:01:33 > 4:01:38the third set tie-break you got the feeling, it was so crucial for both
4:01:38 > 4:01:41players in a way and it changed the momentum of the match because after
4:01:41 > 4:01:47some great shots it was sort of one-way traffic in the fourth set.
4:01:47 > 4:01:52Ramos-Vinolas running away with it. It looks like his legs were going a
4:01:52 > 4:01:57little, Cameron Norrie at the end. In the fourth set he tried for a few
4:01:57 > 4:02:01more winners, try to end points quickly because I think he had run
4:02:01 > 4:02:05out of gas. Against an experienced player like this who is so good in
4:02:05 > 4:02:10the end he got too many balls back but what a performance.Absolutely.
4:02:10 > 4:02:14And we must salute the Spaniard for playing his part, it's not easy
4:02:14 > 4:02:17playing someone who is playing above themselves and all the pressure on
4:02:17 > 4:02:23your shoulders.He saw what happened to his friend a couple of days
4:02:23 > 4:02:27before from two setup, thinking I do not want to see that happen again.
4:02:27 > 4:02:29But if you look at the way the match went, was incredible.
4:02:29 > 4:02:34But if you look at the way the match went, was incredible. Norrie could
4:02:34 > 4:02:39have won all three of the first sets. But that 5-5 he had come back
4:02:39 > 4:02:43into the set and was not able to hold serve. He ended up getting to
4:02:43 > 4:02:47the tie-break but you wonder if that might have made a difference. I did
4:02:47 > 4:02:50not see the numbers but by the end of the third set even though he was
4:02:50 > 4:02:562-1 down he probably won more points than his opponent. Very difficult
4:02:56 > 4:02:59mentally to have lost those tie-breaks and physically more than
4:02:59 > 4:03:04three hours into the match to think you have to come back and win, we
4:03:04 > 4:03:11saw it was just one step too far.It must be
4:03:13 > 4:03:17must be nice, it's infectious within the team which is important.
4:03:17 > 4:03:21Absolutely, you could see the whole bench, I think the British team
4:03:21 > 4:03:27including Leon Smith were shocked at what they were seeing. To do it in
4:03:27 > 4:03:30practice is one thing but to do it in the match and all the players
4:03:30 > 4:03:34watching him I think they were shocked. They just got inspired by
4:03:34 > 4:03:38watching the way he competed out there. His energy level, for the
4:03:38 > 4:03:44young players watching this on TV, to watch somebody like that, what an
4:03:44 > 4:03:47inspiration he is.The bottom line is we lost in the first round which
4:03:47 > 4:03:52means we have come back to play in the play-offs in September which is
4:03:52 > 4:03:57never easy because Argentina, Russia went down last year. All sorts of
4:03:57 > 4:04:03dangerous opponents you could play but Leon will say Andy will be back
4:04:03 > 4:04:09and Kyle hopefully fit and wanting to play.There are no easy matches,
4:04:09 > 4:04:13but on the point around the team just looking, there was a good
4:04:13 > 4:04:16camera shot of Ramos looking at his bench at the end and David Ferrer
4:04:16 > 4:04:20giving him the nod and on the point of role models for the British team
4:04:20 > 4:04:24to have Andy Murray, everyone to see what Kyle Edmund is doing, as you
4:04:24 > 4:04:28said, any British players in the frame to see regardless of the
4:04:28 > 4:04:34ranking what Cameron Norrie just did it makes a massive difference, this
4:04:34 > 4:04:38is a world-class team with players able to compete on the world stage.
4:04:38 > 4:04:42That makes a massive difference. Spain go
4:04:42 > 4:04:44That makes a massive difference. Spain go through. Let's look at the
4:04:44 > 4:04:49world group. Plenty of matches going on as we speak. Reigning champions
4:04:49 > 4:04:54France lead 2-1 against the Netherlands. But 1-1 in the singles
4:04:54 > 4:04:59match today so still a long way to go. Italy have defeated Japan,
4:04:59 > 4:05:04Fognini in an epic five set thriller, saving match point.
4:05:04 > 4:05:09Germany went through after Zverev beat Krygios in straight sets.
4:05:09 > 4:05:16Kazakhstan winning 4-1.
4:05:20 > 4:05:21Kazakhstan winning 4-1. The singles match with Croatia against Canada
4:05:21 > 4:05:33today, it is one set to church. The United States have defeated Serbia,
4:05:33 > 4:05:39dead rubbers today. Belgium were 2-1 up, David Goffin is up in his
4:05:39 > 4:05:44singles match today.
4:05:45 > 4:05:47singles match today. Unfortunately it is not Great Britain are going
4:05:47 > 4:05:50through but we can hear from the British captain Leon Smith who has
4:05:50 > 4:05:52made his way to the pressroom.
4:05:55 > 4:05:59Thank you for talking to us, not the result you wanted but it was so
4:05:59 > 4:06:03close again, the third set breaker, if it had gone the other way we
4:06:03 > 4:06:06might have been in business.I cannot speak highly enough of what
4:06:06 > 4:06:10Cameron has done all weekend. And again today. People might have
4:06:10 > 4:06:14thought it was a one off on Friday but he did it again today against
4:06:14 > 4:06:20another high-quality player. Both breakers, anything can happen.
4:06:20 > 4:06:25Pushed him really close and I am really proud of him.Did you have
4:06:25 > 4:06:29any inkling he was capable of producing this tennis? Sergi
4:06:29 > 4:06:33Bruguera could not believe he sustained that level after four
4:06:33 > 4:06:39hours.In June he looks really good shape. Sitting on the bench at the
4:06:39 > 4:06:44end feeling like he could all day. The big thing for him is now he can
4:06:44 > 4:06:49get physically more powerful, he can get more power in the strokes.
4:06:49 > 4:06:53Nobody can tell how someone will go out and play an debut and he has
4:06:53 > 4:06:57been playing mostly on Challenger Tour but if he needs some sort of
4:06:57 > 4:07:00reference point for how far he can go he's got it this weekend. The
4:07:00 > 4:07:08only way is up for him.He has to be positive hasn't he?Absolutely.
4:07:08 > 4:07:11Physically incredible and he played well in practice but you don't know
4:07:11 > 4:07:15what he will do, any player who comes out on a Davis Cup debut and
4:07:15 > 4:07:20going up a class in rankings and he proved he can compete. For me he
4:07:20 > 4:07:24will only go up and experience like that, this is the toughest arena in
4:07:24 > 4:07:27tennis, Davis Cup and he's gone out in front of a huge crowd and who
4:07:27 > 4:07:33knows where he can go?We have run out of time but thank you gentlemen,
4:07:33 > 4:07:40before we go, plenty of sport coming up on BBC Two. One of Britain's best
4:07:40 > 4:07:43hope for a medal at the Winter Olympics and a special documentary
4:07:43 > 4:07:47on her build-up to the games. Then the last Ski Sunday before the
4:07:47 > 4:07:54games. And Six Nations highlights at six o'clock with highlights from all
4:07:54 > 4:08:01three games. That's it from us, we will be back hopefully in September
4:08:01 > 4:08:05as Britain faced a tough play-off match but what the future of Cameron
4:08:05 > 4:08:08Norrie, we enjoyed watching him. Goodbye.
4:08:13 > 4:08:20Perfect start for Spain. That is magnificent. No! No way! What was
4:08:20 > 4:08:28that? Oh my goodness! Titanic set of tennis comes to an end. Spain one
4:08:28 > 4:08:35set up. Again we are witnessing something pretty extraordinary.
4:08:35 > 4:08:41Cameron Norrie has levelled the match, it is 1-1.How did he win
4:08:41 > 4:08:48that point?That could be massive. Spain are one set away from the
4:08:48 > 4:08:58quarterfinals of the Davis Cup. Free now. Holds to love. What a proud
4:08:58 > 4:08:59moment for Albert Ramos-Vinolas.
