Day 7 BBC Two: 18.00-19.00 Olympics

In seven days of the Rio Olympics for Great Britain with gold medals

on the water in the rowing. The ruins pair have retained their medal

from London 2012. And so have the men's four, 50 gold-medal in a row

all the way back from Sydney to Rio. That is succession planning. And we

will stay with the water. Get an update from Shirley Robinson, wide

on the Atlantic. That is quite a swell. This is beyond bobbing about

on the sea, we are at the entrance to the Atlantic, you can see how

massive it is, all the live coverage of the racing takes place inside the

bay, which is relatively calm, but lots of the sailing is happening in

the ocean and we will go out there today. Capture some of that for you.

Tim is doing a fantastic job on camera today, I can tell you that.

If you can get yourself steady tell us about Nick Dempsey in the Laser

because it is looking very good for the world champion? Yesterday he had

a pretty good day, but so did the 2012 gold medallists from the

Netherlands, Dorian van Rijsselberghe, leading the men's

windsurfers. But it is close. Today is the final day of fleet racing

before the medal race on Sunday so it is a bit make or break, he must

make a move and keep the battle going. I have a good feeling it will

be a great medal race between them and go right down to the wire. It is

Nick Dempsey and speaking about the windsurfer. The medal races on

Sunday. And it is double point in effect in the middle races. How much

could change? -- medal races. The medal races are based, you cannot

describe the result, it is all on, double points. I've been so

impressed by Nick Dempsey, is fifth Olympic Games, silver from and

bronze from Athens. He is calm and confident and making the right

decisions. It has those lovely aura around him and I have really good

hopes that he will do well. Looking forward to watching him race out in

the massive Atlantic swell today. Yes, we have Saxton Grove there and

good chances, they are not racing today. They have a day off, as to

Giles Scott and they are both currently leading their classes but

it has been lovely to watch the youngsters, it is a brand-new --

brand-new mixed multihull for this gained and they were young, so

excited and India's Bastick to be part of Team GB and they've come out

all singing all dancing and performed from the get go. Once you

get a bit of momentum, we see it in every sport,, well, look good and

get confidence, you just grow and grow and it is early days for them,

but an amazing start. Generally want ask your opinion on the performance

of Glover and Heather Steacy, they've joined you as a double gold

medallist and Kay -- Kelly Holmes and Becky Adlington and Vicky

Pendleton and Charlotte Dujardin and trot and all of this has happened

since you started this gold rush in 2000 with the gold in 2000, 2000

four. What incredible strides for British women's sport in only 16

years. Only the best of the best and get back-to-back gold. It was a turn

of an era, we got back to Sydney, British sport had an injection of

cash and we are still reaping the rewards of that. We got used to

winning, we expect to win and we expect to win again and again and

it's been amazing 16 years in British sport, it is incredible. I

don't want to have to break this gently but Charlotte Dujardin and

Laura Trott Cancer pass your efforts potentially today, but you've had a

pretty decent run at it. I'm happy, it is extreme broadcasting now,

maybe I will get a gold medal in this. I will head out here. And the

gold medal goes to... Thank you. Stay safe please! It is relatively

much more calm in the badminton arena and we will meet Mr and Mrs

Adcock. The only husband and wife team for Great Britain in the Rio

Olympics, they are taking part in the mixed doubles in badminton. It

was Enzo Robertson, 2004, that took the silver medal and had as excited

in Athens in the final of that event and the way it works here in Rio is

there is group games first and the top two in each group go through.

The British pair have got it's tough, their head coach said it was

a killer group and it certainly looks like it, the most difficult of

the four. They are against a very good Danish pair, let's see how the

earlier this week how they did earlier. It is so nip and tuck the

entire way, over the last two games both teams have only managed runs of

two. That is all in terms of consecutive points. Spills wide,

Christinna Pedersen, another roar of delight from the British. It is a

3-point game. These two are fully aware it is retrievable. You would

imagine they would have to start to do it about now.

Brilliant from Chris Adcock, so quick to pounce. They are just

absolutely filly dialled in on this one now. Gaby beside him coiled,

knees bent with energy. So they can pounce whichever way they need. It

is a 4-point game. The pressing from Christinna

Pedersen -- depressing. Now, is this an opportunity for a

sneaky flick saw? Or is he going with something more regular? Nielsen

likes to pounce on the short, low delivery.

It is run four consecutive points for the Adcock pairing. An anxious

look from Christinna Pedersen to her strong left-handed partner. Extend

their lead. He is ever dangerous, but respectful, which is nice to

see. It is a match played in great spirit. Which is what the Olympic

Games is all about. Bringing together different races, cultures.

The Brits were 11 up at the interval and having come from there, haven't

they consolidated with effect? Still a long way to go in this one though.

But they really have put their front foot forward of late. -- 11-8 up.

The Danes have been committing too many errors too often in this game.

The fourth seeds are under a lot of pressure now because the Adcock

pairing are just three points away from the W. They were denied

yesterday having had match point, they couldn't quite cross the

Chinese duo. Now in a commanding position.

Good energy between them. Great dynamics. Ever positive, it is about

heading to the sun metaphorically speaking the entire time, not

allowing native thoughts into your mind. -- negative.

The Danes got lucky, is that enough to inspire them to pull this one

back level and beyond? Alarmingly for British fans, that is

three points in a row for the black. We knew the fightback would always

be on, she's always more difficult to hit winners when you're in front.

-- it is always. The psychological dynamics reversed strangely as you

sense the finish line is so close. Of course for fresh in their mind is

the exploit yesterday of the Chinese wriggling out of jail.

Chris sneezed so the point will be replayed. Umpire could not accept

that one. Interesting, thought they had lost the point for a second.

They stopped the run of points for the Danes at three. Now, can they

build from here? Two points away from the win. Communication is

priority number one, clarity. They just managed to lift above

Christina for the first left but the second just going to the big, tall

menace who had his way. It is still a 3-point game. But the Danes have

been ever threatening. They managed to twist the second game in their

way, 24-22. What can the master here? -- muster.

Brilliant. A cry of out from Chris Adcock brings up four match points.

Well, they've still got room for manoeuvre.

But before that, they must put this match to bed. The fourth seeds.

Look what it means to them! Momentous win in this daunting

group. Group B, so Blaydon, with four top 15 teams. The Adcocks did

something they couldn't do yesterday, they lost out on match

point but they have come through today against the fourth seeds.

That's a great win and the Adcocks will play the Polish pair tomorrow,

they must win it to make sure of going through to the knockout

stages. The group is very tight, some of the permutations going

around. I'm hearing that Andy Murray has it all to do in his quarterfinal

at the Tennis Centre. He struggled a bit against Fabio Fognini of Italy.

This is Steve Johnson, the American, big and tall with a huge verve and

it has gone to a third set again. Being asked a lot of questions as he

does to defend his title -- huge serve. It has been tough for Andy

Murray. The first set was one of the easiest he's had this year, 6-0, but

the American has battled back and Andy is getting a bit distracted and

this has turned into a bit of a dogfight. Two tough guys going

head-to-head. No break so far in the third debt. -- set.

So, Murray holding and he leads 3-2 in the third set. Two big moments in

the match, the first was in the third game when Murray had a serve

which looked like it was an ace, Johnson didn't agree, he called for

Hawk-Eye and it ruled in married's favour and Johnson went berserk,

saying we should get it stopped because it isn't doing its job, get

it switched off -- Murray's favour. It wasn't going to take him far, it

took him out of his comfort zone, and Andy Murray took the first 6-0.

Apart from that, the main distraction has been for Murray, a

lot of people coming in when they shouldn't have been. Tennis, it

isn't upfront and central in Brazil, many don't know the tennis etiquette

and people are coming in at strange times, the stewards have been

letting them in and Murray has been distracted. Johnson has been playing

better, breaking in the second set and he took it 6-4. Here we are in

the third set. Johnson has only ever once beaten a top ten player,

Richard Gasquet at Queen's a couple of months ago, so he has a record of

losing this kind of match, but we will see. Murray has a record of

winning this kind of match. Even yesterday when he looked in all

sorts of trouble against Fabio Fognini. Johnson hasn't got the

brilliance of Fognini but he is very steady and Murray needs to be at his

best. Johnson has served a lot better.

Murray's returns, not at the level he would like.

Mr Johnson is challenging the call. It's interesting, Johnson, I

mentioned the problems he had in the first set with Hawk-Eye. He only has

one challenge left and if he loses this one he is out of challenges, so

he'll have no more problems with Hawk-Eye because it won't be there

for him. But he's got it right. And then the double. Second double

of the match for the American. His trademark shot hasn't been going

for him. A good return that time. Really was in situ to hit that

double hander straight across. Chance for 3-3 now.

Murray not doing a lot, waiting for Johnson to make a mistake and he

duly obliged. That's a really good volley at a

clutch moment. No wonder he clinches his fist, that was superb. Not

getting it down as low as he'd want. Johnson couldn't get to it. --

Murray couldn't. Nothing's coming easy for Murray at

the moment. Oh, brilliant. He's not backing off

one iota. That's to his credit because that's been the question

about Johnson, can he hack it with the very big boys?

Oh, yes. Huge credit to Johnson and the end of that game. For those of

you who don't know much about him, you might have seen a lot of him at

Wimbledon where he won the Nottingham tournament, went to

Wimbledon and got to the fourth round, beating Jeremy Chardy, Grigor

Dimitrov and lost against Federer. He also got the Greens, the

quarterfinal, where Richard Gasquet was beaten -- Queen's. He lost

against Marin Cilic. The umpire, once again, saying to the spectators

to be still. Having a word with the stewards, not that they may

understand him. I'm afraid the job wasn't done well enough with the

stewards, which is why the spectators have been let in at

difficult moments. It's been a terrific summer for

Johnson, he is ranked 22 now, just one spot below his best, which was

just after Wimbledon. It's been a terrific year after a fantastic

college career. At one stage he won 72 successive matches.

Johnson generally regarded as the finest ever college player in the

United States. On the NCAA, the big competition for the collegiate

players. Winning two successive times.

Oh, yes. It's all coming up roses at the moment for Johnson. As good a

return as he's made in the match. Pressure on Murray now.

Just a bit tame with the volley. The second serve was terrific.

Sit down, please, thank you. The problem isn't going away.

So, here is break point for the first break in the third set. Murray

broken just once, in the opening game of the second set. A chance for

Johnson to strike again. Yes. Magnificent couple of Games,

for Steve Johnson. We mentioned yesterday when it was

all going pear shaped for Andy Murray against Fabio Fognini, the

Italian won eight Games in a row to go 3-0 up in the third set and we

were saying that Murray had to draw on his experience and know-how and

knowledge from these kind of situations in big matches to pull

through and this is the case now. He's under the cosh. So often in his

career, this kind of situation has brought the best out of Murray. He

loves his boxing and he's like a boxer, trapped on the ropes, how to

retaliate here. Against a guy who has a history of being weak in this

kind of situation. There's been no sign of it here this afternoon.

The reference -- the umpire doing what he can. A lot of people coming

here to see the scoring. Bellucci and Nadal on the other court, Balaji

is the number-1 Brazilian, they want to see a of this.

Does this look like a man who is scared of winning?

He knows he has to put the pressure on more effectively than that.

Super point. He wasn't far away. Johnson is so quickly up to that.

Well played, Murray. A little guilty of not getting back to it. The

support team on their feet come here is the chance for Murray to break

back. That is a great forehand from

Murray. Wouldn't you know it? Suddenly he found nearly his best

form. At just the right moment, that will really hurt Steve Johnson.

Suddenly we can here the Brits in the house. It looks so easy in the

opening set. So many similarities. To the match

against Fognini yesterday come he survived that, can he survive this?

Didn't get the forehand right at all. It is a big day for Johnson on

this court. In a couple of hours he will be with Jack Sock in the bronze

medal match in the doubles against Leicester and passed of Canada. --

Nestor ante-post this ill -- possible sale.

He cannot believe that shop. The second one in this game.

Please stand still behind the court. Thank you.

Very stiff on that one. Here is break point for the third successive

break of serve. Good working over for John. Nothing

too extravagant. -- Johnson. Murray challenges the call on the

right service line. A couple of challenges left. Very quickly into

this and very wrong. Just climbed enough. Body serve to

perfection. Second serves by and large have been a subject of much

debate with Murray, they've held him in good stead here.

Murray clutching the left side. He's really saying to Johnson, come on,

have a go. And the American dead. -- did.

And excellent wrong footer, you could see Johnson moving across to

counter the backhand, throwing everything to try and recover that.

But he wasn't close. The winner of this match will play

either Gael Monfils archive Nishikori -- or Kei Nishikori in the

semifinal. There is a bronze medal match at the Olympics, so if you

lose the semifinal you have a chance for a medal.

Murray only has one medal insight, the gold he won four years ago,

interesting he says he doesn't feel he is defending his Olympic medal,

no one will take that away from me, I'm just looking for another. It is

a positive spin on it. Things have got progressively difficult for him.

So easy in the first couple of rounds, almost too easy against

Troicki and Monaco. Very easy to start against Fognini, which turned

into a nightmare but he came through it. The same thing here.

Johnson was tantalisingly close at 4-3 in this third set will now serve

to stay in the match. Strong return. Pressure multiplies

on Johnson. There is a chance and he knows it. A

bit of a bluff from Johnson coming forward there.

Oh, well played, Andy Murray. It looks for a moment like the forehand

down the line from Johnson may have gone wide, but Murray decided not to

challenge, he carried on and what a decision that was. Two points away.

Very well played. No gremlins there, for Steve Johnson. On the Centre

Court, fantastic win against Petra Looking across and seeing what

Johnson was doing. Didn't seem that his eye was on the ball, totally.

Missing those earlier in this match, but he got it down to the Dean --

down to 80 there. -- down to eight T -- a tee.

Starting to make too many mistakes again. That's where we were earlier

in the match. So, once more Murray moves to within

a game of the semifinal spot. Unlike at Wimbledon, there will be a break

to decide this match. Johnson holds here.

Not the result he wanted that time. It's been that kind of match,

nothing's come easy after the first that. Seems erratic, like that never

happened and it hardly did, it was over in 25 minutes. Since then it

has been a beast of a match for both of them. Murray won the only match

they've played together before, on Shanghai on the hard court, winning

it two and four. This is a slower tennis court than it Shanghai. -- in

Shanghai. So, what is Johnson made of here.

Been going for two hours, as Johnson serves for the second time to stay

in the match. Oh, that's fantastic. I think is the only time in the

match that he had a forehand down the line that is proved as

beneficial as that one. -- that's proved. Glorious strike. Once again,

the pressure doubles. Strong serve. Johnson is challenging the call, the

call was out. Johnson is challenging. When they go into the

breaker they get one extra challenge but right now, he's out of

challenges. Mr Johnson has no more challenges

remaining. Murray quickly trying to regain

ground into the centre. Johnson, watching him like a hawk.

Well played. It was good from Murray all stop it was a decent gamble but

Johnson was equal to it and no wonder that primeval screen when it

landed. -- scream. He's a force of this fella -- force

of nature. Here we go, then. Two hours and five minutes and we are in

for a tie-break to decide this Olympic quarterfinal. Still, the

smart money, surely, is on Murray. Can Johnson have his match of

matches? Fantastic What a rally, one of the

rallies of the match. Such a cute shot from Murray. Still it needed

finishing off. That was a good, crisp volley. No

bones about that one. Still it is Murray with a

mini-break. STUDIO: Welcome to viewers on BBC

Johnson in the quarterfinals of this event. The tall, big serving

American, and this has gone to a deciding set tie-break so I will say
