BBC One: Day 9: 13.30-16.00

:00:12. > :00:22.There is no place to hide. Thank you for joining us.

:00:22. > :00:22.

:00:22. > :00:25.Thanks to our team on the ground. That is the women's marathon. The

:00:25. > :00:28.athletics continues tonight in the stadium, with the women's 400m

:00:28. > :00:31.hurdle heats at 7pm. Then there's the small matter of

:00:31. > :00:35.the 100m semis at 7.45pm. Whatever you have planned for your Sunday

:00:35. > :00:40.night, make sure you're with us on BBC One at 9.50pm, for the final.

:00:40. > :00:46.But, before that, there's plenty coming up this afternoon.

:00:46. > :00:53.Having reached the Wimbledon final four weeks ago, Andy Murray has two

:00:53. > :01:03.chances of a gold medal today. Ben Ainslie could clinch his 4th

:01:03. > :01:10.

:01:10. > :01:15.gold medal. There is historic action with

:01:15. > :01:25.through women's first ever boxing bout, Natasha Jones goes for Team

:01:25. > :01:25.

:01:25. > :01:35.The let us go to the ExCel Arena, this is a moment of history. This

:01:35. > :01:47.

:01:47. > :01:53.is the moment that the sport has competing in the Olympic Games

:01:53. > :01:58.boxing tournament. A significant and sturdy gender barrier has come

:01:58. > :02:07.crashing down with their inclusion in the boxing tournament for the

:02:07. > :02:13.first time in 108 years. Boxing was first a demonstration event. Here,

:02:13. > :02:22.at the 30th Olympiad, women are competing on equal terms in the

:02:22. > :02:31.boxing ring. It is being contested by the Russian, Savelyeva, and her

:02:31. > :02:36.opponent, Kim, from the People's Republic of Korea.

:02:36. > :02:46.Kim has suddenly started strongly, very positive on the front.

:02:46. > :02:49.

:02:49. > :02:59.Savelyeva does preferred the back for it -- foot. A rematch of the

:02:59. > :02:59.

:02:59. > :03:09.last two World Championships when these boxers met, in 2012, in China.

:03:09. > :03:15.

:03:15. > :03:25.The Russian has prevailed in their previous two about. -- bouts.

:03:25. > :03:27.

:03:27. > :03:31.Women's contests are fought over four two-minute rounds. Kim just

:03:31. > :03:39.smothering her own work, launching an attack from the centre of the

:03:39. > :03:49.ring. She is not getting the benefit of her combinations,

:03:49. > :03:56.

:03:56. > :04:05.of the stop. And, the end of the first round, it is as tight as we

:04:05. > :04:11.expected it to be between these two high quality boxers. 3-2, in favour

:04:11. > :04:18.of the Russian. I think that is about right, Savelyeva is clever,

:04:18. > :04:23.she picks her shop's, she doesn't waste much. Kim had good

:04:23. > :04:33.combinations but smothered her work, so the sport is about right for now.

:04:33. > :04:45.

:04:45. > :04:55.He a good right hand by Kim, the first round of this -- feeling

:04:55. > :05:30.

:05:30. > :05:39.this women's 51 kg flyweight lightest of the three divisions

:05:39. > :05:47.being contested here at London 2012. Against a fellow three-time World

:05:47. > :05:53.Championship contender. Savelyeva is clever, she does tie her

:05:53. > :05:56.opponent up. Savelyeva, moving nicely to the side, to give her a

:05:56. > :06:06.room, to place herself back into the centre where she has plenty of

:06:06. > :06:35.

:06:35. > :06:40.room to move off when Kim launches straight lines. -- her attacks in

:06:40. > :06:46.straight lines. She needs to come in from an angle to get that

:06:46. > :06:51.advantage against Savelyeva. Savelyeva has returned to the

:06:51. > :06:59.orthodox stance. The referee to stipulating that she wants the

:06:59. > :07:09.boxes to keep their heads up. Kim getting through with a good right

:07:09. > :07:10.

:07:10. > :07:16.several occasions about tucking the club beneath the arms. If the

:07:16. > :07:21.warnings continue to come, it could result in a public warning of which

:07:21. > :07:25.would be two points on to the score of Savelyeva. Here we are, it been

:07:25. > :07:34.the ExCel Arena, in London, we are saying this first ever of women's

:07:34. > :07:43.boxing, it in Olympic history. The lead has been doubled in favour of

:07:43. > :07:49.Savelyeva. Leading 6-4. Savelyeva it is very clever on the inside,

:07:49. > :07:59.she holds on the blind side of the referee. Derek astute boxer in that

:07:59. > :08:21.

:08:21. > :08:27.was the only one which did not feature both men and women. That

:08:27. > :08:37.was changed in 2009 when it voted Committee voted to include women.

:08:37. > :08:39.

:08:39. > :08:49.Women boxers here in the Alex -- and limping boxing tournament. --

:08:49. > :09:05.

:09:05. > :09:15.ropes. It is good to see Savelyeva starting off more offensively.

:09:15. > :09:18.

:09:18. > :09:23.Throwing the first phase, cantering that attack. -- countering. These

:09:23. > :09:30.two met in the last two World Championships. A good exchange

:09:30. > :09:40.bringing applause from the crowd as Savelyeva continues to switch. In

:09:40. > :09:41.

:09:41. > :09:48.2010, at 54 kgs, she lost to Savelyeva in the final. And at the

:09:48. > :09:58.quarter-final stage, it in China, earlier this year. Fishing in 7th

:09:58. > :10:01.

:10:01. > :10:08.place. She launches from a little bit too far out. She needs to

:10:08. > :10:13.become aggressive now, to throw first. To throw more punches, to

:10:13. > :10:20.make up this deficit against Savelyeva. How difficult it is a

:10:21. > :10:25.deficit in the context of this contest. With such a short rounds.

:10:25. > :10:32.With just two minutes, instead of three minutes which the men compete

:10:32. > :10:40.at. It doesn't give you much of time. Actually, if you get a lead

:10:40. > :10:48.in the first rounds, it is very difficult to make up. Savelyeva led

:10:48. > :10:53.by one point after the first, and after three rounds of boxing,

:10:53. > :11:03.Savelyeva, from Russia, leads by three, she has extended her lead

:11:03. > :11:04.

:11:04. > :11:14.once more. 9-6, in her favour. Small, little head movements from

:11:14. > :11:29.

:11:29. > :11:33.Savelyeva. Then she moves nicely to final round. The deficit is a

:11:33. > :11:41.challenge, particularly when faced with a boxer who is moving as

:11:41. > :11:51.efficiently as Savelyeva. The 4th and final two minute round is

:11:51. > :11:52.

:11:52. > :12:01.underweight in the women's 51 programme flyweight class. -- 51

:12:01. > :12:11.kilogramme. Savelyeva, happy to hold on, she is

:12:11. > :12:12.

:12:12. > :12:22.three points up. Came macro fiercely tried to work her hands --

:12:22. > :12:23.

:12:23. > :12:30.Kim. A good right hand from her. And she got through with the second.

:12:30. > :12:38.Look at the arm, being tucked beneath those of Savelyeva. But

:12:38. > :12:44.scoring effectively. Knowing that she is trailing by three points.

:12:44. > :12:53.And has only one more round to turn it around. She has come out in far

:12:53. > :13:03.more aggressive fashion in this final round. She is less

:13:03. > :13:10.

:13:10. > :13:16.Clinging on, preventing her opponent from working away, saying

:13:16. > :13:26.to the referee she is not doing anything. But that is about

:13:26. > :13:34.

:13:34. > :13:43.blind side of the referee. Difficult to do anything when she

:13:43. > :13:53.is held. A first warning for Savelyeva. A left hand attack. But

:13:53. > :13:58.

:13:58. > :14:02.this first ever women's Olympic bout, the woman In Red appears to

:14:02. > :14:12.have done enough to progress through to the quarter-finals in

:14:12. > :14:28.

:14:28. > :14:35.deficit, probably has not done make up for three points she was

:14:35. > :14:40.down going into the last. All of the ring craft and guile of 28-

:14:40. > :14:46.year-old Savalyeva was on display. She just prevented came from

:14:46. > :14:50.working at the tempo she would like. She was employing a sneaky little

:14:50. > :14:54.clutches, particularly on the blind-side of the referee. Now we

:14:54. > :14:59.are about to get the official verdict in the first-ever women's

:14:59. > :15:05.bout in the history of the Olympic bout in the history of the Olympic

:15:06. > :15:10.Games. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by a score of 12 points to

:15:10. > :15:20.nine, in the red corner, representing the Russian Federation,

:15:20. > :15:27.

:15:27. > :15:31.In a contest between these two familiar rivals, it is Elena

:15:31. > :15:38.Savalyeva who has prevailed again. She has booked her place in the

:15:38. > :15:43.quarter-finals. 12-9. The Olympic boxing ring has been the birthplace

:15:43. > :15:48.for so many Olympic legends now has a fresh chapter as women are

:15:48. > :15:52.competing for the first time as they set about building their own

:15:52. > :15:56.Olympic legacy. Britain's Natasha Jonas us will be

:15:56. > :16:01.in action in about half an hour. It will be available on the red button.

:16:01. > :16:07.A lot of people pointing out to me that men a lot it to do -- not

:16:07. > :16:11.allowed to do synchronised swimming, I know. Tennis has been one of the

:16:11. > :16:13.originals. Women were allowed to compete in 1,900. The women's

:16:13. > :16:18.compete in 1,900. The women's doubles gold medal match is in

:16:18. > :16:23.progress right now. The Williams sisters have match point. That has

:16:23. > :16:27.been saved by the Czech Republic pair. For Williams sisters trying

:16:27. > :16:34.to win the doubles gold medal together for the third time. They

:16:34. > :16:39.won it in 20021008. They would become the first tennis players,

:16:39. > :16:44.male or female, to win four Olympic gold medals because both of them

:16:44. > :16:51.have won the singles titles. We will be back at Wimbledon when that

:16:51. > :16:56.match has concluded. The gold medal match in the men's singles is

:16:56. > :17:02.between Murray and Federer. We are now going to head to the Jurassic

:17:02. > :17:06.Coast of Dorset. There's been an upset. Leading overnight in the

:17:06. > :17:11.Star class were Andrew Simpson and Iain Percy, trying to retain their

:17:11. > :17:15.title, but things not going according to plan. We all head

:17:15. > :17:19.there for an update. They lead by four points overnight... Eight

:17:19. > :17:29.points. It is not going according to plan. I can see Shirley on a

:17:29. > :17:31.

:17:31. > :17:35.boat. We are going to join the Percy, four years of Olympic

:17:35. > :17:41.preparation, comes down to these final four minutes as they head

:17:41. > :17:47.down wind. They have a medal. The colour is not yet decided. Sweden

:17:47. > :17:53.have the advantage at the front. The Kiwis are in second place at

:17:53. > :17:59.the moment. Great Britain, left of picture, out on the left-hand side

:17:59. > :18:03.of the track. He had it looks good at the moment. It looks like they

:18:03. > :18:08.were able to lay the finish. They would not have to do any gybes.

:18:08. > :18:12.They are in a good position. At the They are in a good position. At the

:18:12. > :18:20.moment it is looking good for the Brits. Great Britain are up to

:18:20. > :18:30.fourth place. I'm holding on. It is not a straight line. Things could

:18:30. > :18:37.

:18:37. > :18:42.change very quickly. This is far gold or silver? West Percy? He is

:18:42. > :18:48.spending far more time looking back. They are coming down towards the

:18:48. > :18:52.finish. They are on target for victory in the race, but they will

:18:52. > :18:57.not know if they are on target... It looks like they will win this

:18:57. > :19:05.race. They won't know which medal yet. It is the points scored during

:19:05. > :19:15.the week. Sweden win the race. 32 points for Sweden. New Zealand

:19:15. > :19:25.

:19:25. > :19:35.finish second. Great Britain coming Germany. 44 5th four top 5th would

:19:35. > :19:36.

:19:36. > :19:46.be OK. A we need an aerial shot. can't call that here. We can't call

:19:46. > :19:52.

:19:52. > :19:57.Great Britain finished 8th and that was not enough. That final race

:19:57. > :20:07.scores double. Sweden win with 32 scores double. Sweden win with 32

:20:07. > :20:08.

:20:08. > :20:15.A huge effort. You sailed a great regatta. Sometimes it can be so

:20:15. > :20:20.cruel. Yes, it feels it at the moment. We end up racing in

:20:21. > :20:27.ridiculous conditions at the end. We just got it wrong. It is pretty

:20:27. > :20:32.gutting. We felt we sailed a good week and feel a little rocked, but

:20:32. > :20:39.it is our fault. We will have to take it on the chin. He sailed so

:20:39. > :20:44.well all week. You must have been so confident today. You are never

:20:44. > :20:50.100% confident. It is -- it can be a lottery at times. We didn't get

:20:50. > :20:55.it right, we can't blame anyone else. He fair play to the Swedes,

:20:55. > :20:59.they had a great regatta and did a great job. So did the Brazilians.

:20:59. > :21:04.We are really frustrated. Sorry to everyone watching. We feel bad for

:21:04. > :21:09.you guys. We tried our hardest. hope you can take some consolation

:21:09. > :21:13.from the fact that what you have achieved over the last 15 or 20

:21:13. > :21:18.years has inspired not only a generation of sailors, but of

:21:18. > :21:23.sailing fans. There were 4,500 people cheering for you. Do you

:21:23. > :21:28.take comfort from that? Just coming past and getting the applause, we

:21:28. > :21:35.were hurting so much inside, but it makes it so much easier to feel

:21:35. > :21:40.that those guys are still happy for us. It meant so much. It will be a

:21:40. > :21:45.highlight of my life. Probably that only put a smile back on our face.

:21:45. > :21:50.Hard luck. We were so proud to watch that.

:21:50. > :21:56.A fine effort, particularly from Rob Walker doing the interviews on

:21:56. > :21:59.the boat's! Silver for them. Not long for Ben Ainslie in his attempt

:22:00. > :22:05.to become the most decorated sale ever in Olympic history. He is

:22:05. > :22:12.trying to win the Finn class and we will have coverage of VAT on BBC

:22:12. > :22:16.Three. He is known as Big Ben. There's a real atmosphere between

:22:16. > :22:20.these two. Ben Ainslie leads, he has overtaken Hogh-Christensen. He

:22:20. > :22:27.could become the greatest Olympic sailor of all time. Those guys had

:22:27. > :22:31.better watch out. The Dane has failed. Quite possibly the best

:22:31. > :22:37.race of all. Ben Ainslie has gone far out in front and he is now

:22:37. > :22:43.going to go for the Danish sailor. This puts a sequel going into the

:22:43. > :22:50.medal race. -- this puts us equal. It is a good position to be in. It

:22:50. > :22:56.will be fascinating on Sunday. There was some interchange there.

:22:56. > :23:00.He made a big mistake, I am angry. He did not want to make me angry.

:23:00. > :23:06.That is a great line! He just has to keep the Dane behind him and

:23:06. > :23:10.gold will be his. Full coverage of that on BBC Three. On BBC Two, the

:23:10. > :23:15.gymnastics has started and across the red button, you can select

:23:15. > :23:20.whichever sport you want to watch. On BBC One, we will concentrate on

:23:20. > :23:26.tennis. For Andy Murray, an instant shot at redemption. Four weeks ago

:23:26. > :23:30.to the day he lost to Roger Federer in the Wimbledon singles final. But

:23:30. > :23:32.the doubles has happened and Venus the doubles has happened and Venus

:23:32. > :23:40.and Serena Williams did successfully win gold. Faces match

:23:40. > :23:50.point. -- this is match point. Serena celebrates with Venus.

:23:50. > :23:50.

:23:50. > :24:00.They've won the doubles gold medal The Williams family celebrates and

:24:00. > :24:14.

:24:14. > :24:22.Championship. Number two. -- championship point number two.

:24:22. > :24:27.Championship No. 74 Roger Federer! Fabulous first Wimbledon final for

:24:27. > :24:32.Andy Murray. He has done himself proud, and his nation. I was

:24:32. > :24:35.obviously very disappointed a few days afterwards. It wasn't NEC

:24:35. > :24:40.defeat for me. One that was always going to take a few days if not

:24:40. > :24:44.weeks to get over. Because as the Olympics was coming up, they gave

:24:44. > :24:49.me the motivation to get myself back in the gym and on the practice

:24:49. > :24:55.court and get myself ready. Overall, it was a good tournament. A lot of

:24:55. > :25:05.players would have taken the position I was in at the end. I'm

:25:05. > :25:12.

:25:12. > :25:18.going to try this and it's not The speech was tough. I knew when I

:25:18. > :25:22.was walking up to the microphone that it was not going to be easy.

:25:22. > :25:30.In some ways it was nice having Roger there. He's been in that

:25:30. > :25:36.position before. He understands what it is like. Roger is 30 now.

:25:36. > :25:44.He is not bad for A30 year-old! It is one of those things. All

:25:44. > :25:49.athletes cry all the time, but most of the time you can hold it back.

:25:49. > :25:54.You can get into the locker room and let go of it there. But when it

:25:54. > :25:58.is the Wimbledon final and you have to stay for the ceremony, there's a

:25:58. > :26:03.good 15 minutes until you have to speak. That is right about the time

:26:03. > :26:13.you lose control of the emotions. I could not hold it back. Last of all

:26:13. > :26:26.

:26:26. > :26:34.It is going to be a great match. We can now head from the Olympic Park,

:26:34. > :26:39.16 miles across the city to SW19. The players have stayed in

:26:39. > :26:43.Wimbledon. Murray is coming in from home. It is a very different

:26:43. > :26:47.Wimbledon. It was raining heavily eight -- heavily earlier, so the

:26:47. > :26:56.roof was shut for the women's doubles. Has it improved now? Sue

:26:56. > :27:00.Barker has a couple of familiar For Ruth is closed at the moment. -

:27:00. > :27:05.- for the roof is closed at the moment. But it will be opened in a

:27:05. > :27:11.few minutes. Good news for Andy Murray. It is Federer against

:27:11. > :27:18.Murray. Dewani to introduce these two? -- do I need danger Jews. We

:27:18. > :27:23.thought it would be a repeat of the Wimbledon final. In it makes both

:27:23. > :27:27.players play better. Since Roger Federer is the greatest player that

:27:27. > :27:31.ever lived, you would think it would help him. It did at Wimbledon

:27:31. > :27:35.with his serve. But Murray is playing better than he did at

:27:35. > :27:39.Wimbledon. That match against Djokovic was the best big-time

:27:39. > :27:46.match I've ever seen him play. I think the stars are aligned

:27:46. > :27:51.properly. Or am I just dreaming? agree! I felt if it was windy and

:27:51. > :27:56.maybe a bit cold, Murray would be happy. He would be. Federer's

:27:56. > :28:00.record indoors is phenomenal. You saw those first two sets in the

:28:00. > :28:03.Wimbledon final, they were outdoors and Andy was dominating. Federer

:28:03. > :28:08.did a great job in the last 10 minutes of the second set and broke

:28:08. > :28:13.serve and got on level terms. They shut up the roof and he went up a

:28:13. > :28:16.gear. Today has got a different feel for top at Wimbledon with a

:28:16. > :28:21.more traditional Championship crowd, there was a lot of support for

:28:21. > :28:26.Federer. I think this is more of a Davis Cup feel and the support for

:28:26. > :28:29.Andy will be phenomenal. That could make the difference. That will be

:28:29. > :28:36.key. At Wimbledon, although the majority was for Murray, it will be

:28:36. > :28:46.even more so today. They are to down polite at Wimbledon! There's a

:28:46. > :28:48.

:28:48. > :28:55.difference today. If he starts as well as he did at Wimbledon... It

:28:55. > :29:00.is back to best-of-five and he has never beaten Roger over five sets.

:29:00. > :29:06.Federer knows what he's doing. about the semi-finals? They were

:29:06. > :29:12.extraordinary in different ways. Federer, the longest three-set

:29:12. > :29:17.match in the open era, 19-17 in the third set. 4 1/2 hours in the

:29:17. > :29:20.context of a five-set match is pretty long. It will have felt

:29:21. > :29:25.longer in a three-set scenario because they're so much more

:29:25. > :29:29.emotional energy. He served to stay in the match 10 times. I'm sure it

:29:29. > :29:33.would have taken something out of him. You saw his reaction at the

:29:33. > :29:38.end when he kissed the Swiss flag on his shirt. I haven't seen that

:29:38. > :29:42.much from Federer. It shows how much this means to him. He has won

:29:42. > :29:45.Wimbledon seven times, but he has never won Olympic gold. The

:29:45. > :29:49.pressure on Murray in a Wimbledon final is probably greater than the

:29:49. > :29:54.Olympic final. With the way he has played, that match against Djokovic

:29:54. > :29:58.was incredible. He was so aggressive, he was looking to

:29:58. > :30:04.dictate the play, his attitude was fantastic. More of the same and he

:30:04. > :30:08.has a great chance. It looks like the old Murray. He was getting

:30:08. > :30:13.upset with himself, but in this case it seemed to help him play

:30:13. > :30:17.better. There was a couple of moments, the back, the ankle, where

:30:17. > :30:20.he stepped it up. I've watched him play a lot and that seemed to be

:30:20. > :30:24.the hardest he has ever hit the ball. If he's playing with that

:30:24. > :30:30.confidence, he will need to do that. I was amazed with Roger, even

:30:30. > :30:40.though he wasn't playing his best, that his defensive skills on this

:30:40. > :30:44.

:30:44. > :30:48.Murray said he sat down with his coach, watched that again, the

:30:48. > :30:56.final, and said the only thing he would do differently pores over a

:30:56. > :31:06.shot selection. I think he could use the court, if he Follies, that

:31:06. > :31:07.

:31:07. > :31:10.would be the one difference. -- volleys. He is serving was an

:31:10. > :31:17.unbelievable against Djokavic. There were a few moments where he

:31:17. > :31:25.was getting frustrated, four service games where he had to save

:31:25. > :31:29.break point, and he came out with some huge serving. He certainly

:31:29. > :31:35.needs a good serving day-to-day. ripple of applause behind us

:31:35. > :31:42.because the roof is opening. The sun is shining, it is very hot in

:31:42. > :31:47.here so the players will be happy. It is very warm in here. To open

:31:47. > :31:51.the roof and get the elements in, it doesn't make it so easy to play

:31:51. > :31:57.so aggressively, so close to the line, which is what Roger Federer

:31:57. > :32:02.likes to do. It is a gold medal they are playing

:32:02. > :32:07.for. Everyone wondered, do the tennis players embraced the

:32:07. > :32:11.Olympics like other sports, and I think they have. I wouldn't have

:32:11. > :32:18.played here because I thought it was a joke because the

:32:18. > :32:27.professionals were in the Olympics. But now, everybody is. When Agassi

:32:27. > :32:32.won in Atlanta or, more of the top players started. I think they

:32:32. > :32:40.should change the rules, this should be given the same importance

:32:40. > :32:44.as a Grand Slam, it should be counted as a Grand Slam. I think

:32:44. > :32:49.they are heading in the right direction. We will see what the

:32:49. > :32:56.players say, if it means the same as Wimbledon. Even Andy Murray has

:32:56. > :33:03.said this is as important. Definitely. The Olympics is the

:33:03. > :33:12.pinnacle of sport. To have points in the Olympics is fine. White is

:33:12. > :33:17.it 750 points, went a Grand Slam is much more. But I don't take it will

:33:17. > :33:22.detract from the intensity of the match. What do you think of

:33:22. > :33:30.Wimbledon? But all of the kids running around? I absolutely love

:33:30. > :33:36.it. I think they should do more of this. In beach volleyball, they

:33:36. > :33:46.have DJs, we should incorporate that! I am told the players will be

:34:59. > :35:04.experience like? Absolutely amazing, it would have been lovely for Paula

:35:04. > :35:09.Radcliffe to have been here. On the other hand, it was a brilliant

:35:09. > :35:15.experience for me, hopefully a stepping-stone to Glasgow 2014, and

:35:15. > :35:21.Rio. You are a relative newcomer, how difficult has it been to keep

:35:21. > :35:26.in shape, to keep one eye on what Paula Radcliffe was doing, just in

:35:26. > :35:30.case you are called on, as a reserve? I had it at the back of my

:35:30. > :35:36.mind. At the same time, and was thinking about doing another

:35:36. > :35:43.marathon. It is a funny balance, thinking about both at the same

:35:43. > :35:47.time. I just had to keep fit. I got the phone call on Sunday. To get

:35:47. > :35:53.the opportunity to come here, I am really pleased, as Phil like I have

:35:53. > :35:59.justified my selection today, I am happy with that. What will carry

:35:59. > :36:04.afford to future marathons? Experience, more than anything else,

:36:04. > :36:10.this is my second marathon. My first one, I was so nervous about

:36:10. > :36:16.silly things, water stations. Today, a feel like I have learned a lot of

:36:16. > :36:23.things. Can I just say, thank you to everybody for their support, out

:36:23. > :36:30.here, all of the messages, I am really lucky to have that behind me.

:36:30. > :36:39.All the very best. Thank you, there are too many people to thank, my

:36:39. > :36:45.coach, my fiancee, everybody, thank you so much. Freya Murray, taking

:36:45. > :36:51.part in her first Olympic marathon, fishing in 54th place, desperately

:43:26. > :43:32.for the second time in its history, the Olympic tennis events. Back in

:43:32. > :43:37.1908, it was down the road. This stadium, Centre court, not open

:43:37. > :43:43.until 1922. What a great success it has been. Andy Murray has another

:43:43. > :43:49.chance to collect one of these titles. No question, the Olympic

:43:49. > :43:53.tennis event has gone up in terms of its standing. All the talk of

:43:53. > :44:00.what is it doing? By big it is up there with a Grand Slam. It is

:44:00. > :44:10.strange how it has done it, in one go. It became a full medal sport

:44:10. > :44:14.

:44:14. > :44:24.back in 1988. There was a Swiss gold-medallist in Barcelona. Agassi,

:44:24. > :44:25.

:44:30. > :44:39.The Nadal one in Beijing. So, the last medallist for Great Britain,

:44:47. > :44:52.alongside May, it is Tim Henman. Good afternoon. Good afternoon.

:44:52. > :44:59.can't wait for this. There is certainly a feeling that this could

:44:59. > :45:03.be Andy Murray's time. It does have a very different feel, the whole

:45:03. > :45:09.tennis event has had a different feeling from the Championships. A

:45:09. > :45:19.different crowd. In the Wimbledon final, there was even support. This

:45:19. > :45:25.

:45:25. > :45:30.Djokovic, world No. 2, there was on Friday night. Now the world No. 1

:45:30. > :45:34.faces him once again. We've seen and heard some amazing things in

:45:34. > :45:40.the stadium over the years. Borg and McEnroe in 1980, and

:45:40. > :45:46.extraordinary tie-break. Boris Becker in 1985 as a 17-year-old. I

:45:46. > :45:52.remember Ivanisevic netting a backhand volley in 1992 at 4-5.

:45:52. > :45:58.That was to lose that match. Agassi winning here for the first time and

:45:58. > :46:04.falling to the ground. Ivanisevic against Rafter in 2001, Federer and

:46:04. > :46:11.Nadal in 2008. But I've never heard a noise such as when Murray broke

:46:11. > :46:17.Djokovic's served on Friday night. It was amazing. A cacophony. You

:46:17. > :46:22.are right, Tim, this will be on his side, the support will largely be

:46:22. > :46:26.on Murray's side. A normal crowd would be slightly more balanced.

:46:26. > :46:31.There's been so much momentum. The momentum has been building at this

:46:31. > :46:35.event. When you think about momentum in terms of GDP, it has

:46:35. > :46:39.been fantastic. Murray will be aware of that. He is a big sports

:46:39. > :46:46.fan, he will have seen what was going on at the athletics, rowing

:46:46. > :46:53.and cycling. He wants to win a gold medal. Greg Rutherford last night,

:46:53. > :46:58.unbelievable. Jessica Ennis, Mo Farah, unbelievable scenes. We are

:51:57. > :52:01.strength, you will be in trouble. - That shot looks in great nick. He

:20:51. > :20:55.Another one. That is the way. Good coaching, Andrew. If in doubt,

:20:55. > :20:59.smack it and that is what Andy Murray did there. It is exactly

:21:38. > :21:43.set match, one set is good, 2-0 would be even better. Andy Murray

:21:48. > :21:52.there's Mixed Doubles matches on the rest day after Friday night

:21:52. > :21:56.would be a perfect preparation. Mentally it would have been quite

:26:01. > :26:06.this you are supposed to have something clever to say but I am

:26:06. > :26:11.speechless. It has been a really tough week, amazing competition,

:26:11. > :26:17.especially from Jonas, but this was the time to do it, at home in front

:26:17. > :26:22.of a home crowd. I am just so glad for all the people who have

:26:54. > :27:00.trouble and had to turn things around. Thankfully added that and

:27:00. > :27:07.got it right when it counted in the middle race. I cannot believe it.

:27:07. > :27:11.This course is one of the harvest - - hardest I have ever sailed on. I

:27:24. > :27:27.What will happen here? It could yet be gold, it will be at the very

:27:27. > :27:37.least silver, Andy Murray has started fantastically well taking

:27:37. > :27:43.

:27:43. > :27:49.the first set 6-2. Let's join a Tim Straight from the sailing to Centre

:27:49. > :27:54.Court. There is a sense something is a little different here today.

:27:54. > :28:04.Most people would pick Andy Murray for this match, and he has made a

:28:40. > :28:44.

:28:44. > :28:50.Sport is about staying in the present tense and Murray played a

:28:50. > :29:00.brilliant first set. He has got to start all over again at the

:29:00. > :29:27.

:29:27. > :29:37.beginning of this second set, hold Late call. Federer is challenging.

:29:37. > :29:57.

:29:57. > :30:01.I cannot remember seeing Federer Been watching both of these players

:30:01. > :30:04.throughout their careers and at the moment there is only one person out

:30:04. > :30:12.there in terms of really engaging in this match and that is Andy

:30:12. > :30:16.Murray. The first couple of games where key, Andy Murray held serve

:30:16. > :30:22.in the first service game, got the early break, five games in a row,

:30:22. > :30:26.he wants to keep his momentum, keep the pressure on Federer. He is

:30:26. > :30:36.going for a third break of serve in a row against Federer on Centre

:30:36. > :30:39.

:30:39. > :30:42.They do is going to have to decide whether he wants to be out there

:30:42. > :30:47.and grind and give blood for this, otherwise the match is going to

:30:47. > :30:57.slip away. Nothing to taken for granted with Federer, he could slip

:30:57. > :31:35.

:31:35. > :31:40.into deer any time but this is Again, Murray has to do a good job

:31:40. > :31:44.in focusing on his game plan, worrying about his game. Must not

:31:44. > :31:54.be too concerned about what is going on with Federer, you want to

:31:54. > :32:18.

:32:19. > :32:24.But is not going to do much for his mood. A dead net cord. That is

:32:24. > :32:28.three more break points for a 6th game in a row for the man with the

:32:28. > :32:38.momentum, Andy Murray. An acknowledgment, a quick sorry, but

:32:38. > :32:44.

:32:44. > :32:54.Is a tough challenge? Murray is challenging the call, or maybe it

:32:54. > :33:10.

:33:10. > :33:20.No, there is another one! Someone is looking after him! Maybe this is

:33:20. > :33:38.

:33:38. > :33:48.And a dead net cord that 0-30, a dead net cord had 0-40, 6-2, to nil.

:34:11. > :34:21.He was never a set and a break up in the Wimbledon final, although he

:34:21. > :34:46.

:34:46. > :34:52.did win that first set, so new Come on, Andrew, get him to hit

:34:52. > :35:02.those big serves again. OK, two big serves. He has got that break,

:35:02. > :35:15.

:35:15. > :35:19.What a second serve. That thing had some weight behind it. It was

:35:19. > :35:29.pretty much out the whole way until it bounced, it just occurred in at

:35:29. > :36:29.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:37:37. > :37:46.hitting the service line with his Well, he stuck out a big court

:37:46. > :37:54.there. This was almost like saving a penalty. Just good enough. It was

:37:54. > :38:04.his positioning, move forward, cut down the angles. Amazing. Strength

:38:04. > :38:39.

:38:39. > :38:44.as well as anticipation double Look at the spin on that ball, but

:38:44. > :38:51.Murray should have won the point by then. He will feel he had the short

:38:51. > :39:01.ball that he approached on and did not do enough. You walk a tight

:39:01. > :39:19.

:39:19. > :39:24.To that is first class match play, Tim. It certainly was, he did not

:39:25. > :39:34.go for the big first serve. He made the want to bet Federer's backhand

:39:35. > :40:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:40:54. > :40:59.and got a weak reply and then he And the same place. Making sure off

:40:59. > :41:04.the first serve. Playing the point on his terms. And going into the

:41:04. > :41:10.body there, not giving Federer an opportunity to swing at the ball.

:41:10. > :41:20.This is mature play. A vital little money battle in the context of this

:41:20. > :41:37.

:41:37. > :41:41.And reward again for a first serve Murray electing to stay back on the

:41:41. > :41:51.short ball as well. He feels very comfortable staying back against

:41:51. > :42:15.

:42:15. > :42:19.The longer this game goes, the more important is in the context of this

:42:19. > :42:29.set and this match. A break is not a break until you have held your

:42:29. > :42:29.

:42:29. > :42:32.own serve and 6-2, 2-0, it is vital that Murray keeps this momentum.

:42:32. > :42:42.Federer has lost six Games in a row. Nothing has gone his way, that is

:42:42. > :42:43.

:42:43. > :44:20.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:44:20. > :44:23.And he was a puppet on a string, wasn't he, there? Brilliant play.

:44:23. > :44:27.There was one ball off the back count down that line that Federer

:44:27. > :44:34.looked at, almost stopped the rally to challenge but it was outside

:44:34. > :44:44.edge. There is Laura Robson, she is on later on, a mixed doubles final

:46:54. > :46:59.this time and hold serve? Such an Again, took a little bit off the

:46:59. > :47:09.serve. Wait for the safe serve, slipped it out wide and got the

:48:40. > :48:45.That was sharper. That will be a big surprise to Roger Federer. This

:48:45. > :48:51.was brilliant. There was no room down there, that it didn't exist,

:48:51. > :49:01.that shot. That is it, he has got to serve an ace and sit down. What

:49:01. > :49:33.

:49:33. > :49:38.You never, ever want to tempt fate but you have to say this is looking

:49:38. > :49:44.great for Andy Murray. Federer, or through everything he knew, his

:49:44. > :49:49.vast amount of experience, Murray down the other end, Murray resisted.

:49:49. > :49:54.That one shot down the line, you just think, that is the day. Such

:49:54. > :49:59.an important game in the context of this set and this match. Andy

:49:59. > :50:02.Murray is such a good job of getting through. There is no point

:50:02. > :50:08.in thinking about the future if you have just got that break of serve

:50:08. > :50:18.then to give a break back. To be up one set, and 3-0, such a strong

:59:47. > :59:51.I am sure. Not sure if we will see It is the right idea from Federer,

:59:51. > :59:56.just not with the same conviction. Normally when he gets round that

:59:56. > :00:06.forehand he will really go for it, that was more of a push. He has not

:01:18. > :01:22.but he can't think about that. He must play each point as it comes.

:01:22. > :01:25.There is no good thinking about the consequences of the match. How much

:01:25. > :01:30.conscious thought is there in a situation like this? It seems he is

:01:30. > :01:36.on automatic pilot. He is, he has a game plan, executing it well.

:01:36. > :01:39.Process, not outcome. He has to play this next point as if it is

:01:39. > :01:44.another game, keep doing what he is doing and keep the pressure on

:01:44. > :01:47.Federer. Because there is going to be a reaction from Federer at some

:11:33. > :11:41.winning something for their country rather than for themselves, just

:11:41. > :11:47.look at this. And that is for a bronze! Fabulous for him. And on

:12:33. > :12:40.her title. The men's 100 Mater final is at 9:50pm. I have one word

:12:40. > :12:43.of warning and a desire hearing of a heavy storm has been passing from

:12:43. > :12:46.the west across the country. It is around the Coventry and Nuneaton

:12:46. > :12:51.area and you want to hope it does not come and do anything to upset

:12:51. > :13:01.this match because it is all too good at the moment. Let's go back

:13:01. > :13:01.

:13:01. > :14:19.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:14:19. > :14:25.to the commentators. -- let's go Sweet and efficient from Roger

:14:25. > :14:29.Federer. It is the easiest game he has had this entire match on serve

:14:29. > :14:33.as he tries to get something going. He is two sets down in this Olympic

:14:33. > :14:37.final. Most recently he was two sets down at Wimbledon on this

:14:37. > :14:43.court and he beat Julian Benneteau of fans. I believe that was a third

:14:43. > :14:46.round match. What is the mentality when you are two sets down, how do

:14:46. > :14:50.you go about your task? Federer has to have a similar thought process.

:14:50. > :14:54.He knows there is a long way to go in this match and he has to start

:14:54. > :15:00.all over again at the beginning of the third set and that is the same

:15:00. > :15:03.for Murray. He would certainly like the foundation that Maria has built,

:15:04. > :15:08.being up two sets to love, here. As we saw with that match against

:15:08. > :15:18.Benneteau, things can turn around quickly so Murray has to be on his

:15:18. > :15:27.

:15:27. > :15:37.We sought the statistics at the end of the second set, Federer had

:15:37. > :15:37.

:15:37. > :17:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:17:07. > :17:17.A good start for Andy Murray on serve in the third set. Can he

:17:17. > :17:17.

:17:17. > :18:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:18:52. > :19:02.continue to put pressure on the And again, it is the right idea,

:19:02. > :19:02.

:19:02. > :20:26.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:20:26. > :20:30.trying to impose himself on the Fair weather at the moment.

:20:30. > :20:38.Beforehand people were saying if the roof closed they fancied

:20:38. > :20:43.Federer, and if it was open, Andy Murray. That was a popular

:20:43. > :20:48.sentiment. With Federer's style of play it looking to beat so

:20:48. > :20:55.aggressive and going so close to the lines it is better if there are

:20:55. > :21:05.no elements, there is no breeze in the Centre Court arena. But right

:21:05. > :21:05.

:21:05. > :22:43.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:22:43. > :22:48.now with the platform Murray has Andy Murray is doing a good job of

:22:48. > :22:55.keeping his emotions in check. He would be his highest achievement on

:22:55. > :23:05.court in his life following so much disappointment, largely at the

:23:05. > :23:19.

:23:19. > :23:24.hands of Federer, and Djokovic and This young man he was prepared at

:23:24. > :23:31.the age of 15 to live overseas in Spain and grind it out, learned his

:23:31. > :23:41.craft, worked so hard in the ensuing 10 years, specimen

:23:41. > :23:41.

:23:41. > :24:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:24:21. > :24:26.Look at that, even from 8, 9 feet behind the baseline he is able to

:24:26. > :24:36.get the power and penetration to get through Federer. 15-30, an

:24:36. > :24:50.

:24:50. > :24:57.And that is long. Andy Murray has got the ball down to Federer's feet.

:24:57. > :25:07.And he now has the chance to really land a heavy blow on Federer. Two

:25:07. > :25:07.

:25:07. > :25:59.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:25:59. > :26:04.And every time Federer throws some heat down to Andy Murray, he

:26:04. > :26:09.returns it again and again and again. It is almost as if all of

:26:09. > :26:13.these defeats he has suffered at the hands of these star names over

:26:14. > :26:18.the years, he has tried to be part of the big show, and you are seeing

:26:18. > :26:24.the moment of his arrival, quite thrilling to watch. Especially for

:26:24. > :26:31.Rob on the left, and Matt and Kimberly in the middle. Very glad

:26:31. > :26:36.to see his mum and dad both here today. We thought the other day

:26:36. > :26:41.against Djokovic he played the best tennis we have ever seen him play.

:26:42. > :26:45.Certainly in a big match against one of the top three, if you like.

:26:46. > :26:49.Andy Murray has really continued where he has left off, given

:26:50. > :26:53.Federer no breathing space. The last break point, they are hitting

:26:53. > :27:02.from Murray is so clean he never really let Federer get on top of

:27:02. > :27:12.the point, he had that opportunity, I drove the backhand card -- he

:27:12. > :27:12.

:27:12. > :28:00.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:28:00. > :28:07.drove the backhand hard across 15,000 people here, 14,000 of them

:28:17. > :28:28.

:28:28. > :28:34.finishing line at this point. He Federer is going to beat 31 years

:28:34. > :28:43.of age of Wednesday. A long way from Centre Court. It is almost as

:28:43. > :28:53.if he loves to be anywhere but here right now. Away from Murray's

:28:53. > :29:27.

:29:27. > :29:31.Look at where he is in the court, he is inside the baseline. The

:29:31. > :29:41.power sending everything short away. Yet to drop a point on serve in

:29:41. > :30:24.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:30:24. > :30:34.It is unbelievable, you don't hear that at Wimbledon, do you, at the

:30:34. > :31:03.

:31:04. > :31:09.Murray has got to go in for the Well. This is... Well, let's not

:31:10. > :31:19.say anything! Let me just say Laura Robson has picked a pretty good

:31:20. > :31:20.

:31:20. > :33:44.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:33:45. > :33:52.And it is just the sweetest touch, isn't it? 17 times, he has won this

:33:52. > :34:02.sport's most important titles. So he is not a wait until he is away.

:34:02. > :34:32.

:34:32. > :34:38.-- he is not away, until he is a Hat softer Federer on this occasion,

:34:38. > :34:48.15-40 down, they were virtual match points. Federer hangs on Murray was

:34:52. > :34:56.CLARE BALDING: Andy Murray playing sensationally well. The news on the

:34:56. > :35:01.Storm, by the way, it is heading north of London, so we can stop

:35:01. > :35:05.worrying about that. On BBC Two, gymnastics coverage. Great Britain

:35:05. > :35:08.are guaranteed a medal on the pommel horse because Max Whitlock

:35:08. > :35:14.is in second place and there are not too many more to go. Louis

:36:10. > :36:31.

:36:32. > :36:36.He has brought the Federer dancing feet to a standstill over these

:36:36. > :36:46.last couple of hours or so. Has Federer got anything left to resist

:36:46. > :37:06.

:37:06. > :37:12.It is those baseline exchanges that Maria has won time and time again.

:37:12. > :37:22.He is so solid from the back of the court. He forced Federer into the

:37:22. > :38:23.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:38:23. > :38:33.Absolutely incredible serving from Andy Murray, 16 straight points on

:38:54. > :38:57.It doesn't matter who you of, or what has gone on before, when you

:38:57. > :39:02.serve for the biggest victory of your career, you are going to be a

:39:13. > :39:13.

:39:13. > :40:14.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:40:14. > :40:19.Whatever happens, Murray will serve OK. We will see what happens now.

:40:19. > :40:23.How many times he has been denied by these boys. Now he can put one

:40:23. > :40:30.over them. Ever since he pulled on that Team GB shirt, he has been

:40:30. > :40:34.like a man possessed this week. Unbelievable will power. All the

:40:34. > :40:40.training, everything he has done, all the processes he had six gone

:40:40. > :40:44.through to make itself what it is. It comes down to this game.

:40:44. > :40:48.certainly does. The biggest service game of his life and has he has

:40:48. > :40:52.done such a good job in the whole match, he has to break it down one

:40:52. > :41:02.point at a time. A clear picture in his mind of the way he wants to

:41:02. > :41:18.

:41:18. > :41:23.play each point. Stand up to the A couple of free points on serve

:41:23. > :41:26.would not go amiss. There were tears after the Wimbledon final a

:41:26. > :41:36.few weeks ago, may be different tears in a few minutes time. We

:41:36. > :41:47.

:41:47. > :41:53.A perfect length on the forehand from Murray. There is a challenge

:41:53. > :42:03.from Federer, a linked challenge, but he has that right. It did look

:42:03. > :42:36.

:42:36. > :42:41.good. Come on, on the line, get in! Just in case you thought Federer

:42:41. > :42:48.was going anywhere, he clocked that forehand down the line. He has

:42:48. > :42:58.missed those on countless occasions. Typical that he would make it now.

:42:58. > :43:04.

:43:04. > :43:13.This is the time when Murray really Yes! A good call, Tim. A hundred

:43:13. > :43:23.and 35 miles an hour. Come on, maybe he doesn't need a ground

:43:23. > :43:39.

:43:40. > :43:49.stroke here. That would be fine. Give him that ball back. He wants

:43:50. > :44:18.

:44:18. > :44:28.It is a golden triumph for Andy Murray! Gold for Team GB. He

:44:28. > :44:47.

:44:47. > :44:54.finished off like the champion that What a response from 28 days ago.

:44:54. > :45:02.He is going to do a Pat Cash. He is off. Let's see if he can find a

:45:02. > :45:12.route up there. The gold medallist, we last saw this with Rafael Nadal,

:45:12. > :45:29.

:45:29. > :45:34.the Beijing gold-medallist in 2008 Those who have been with him,

:45:34. > :45:44.supporting him. The man he shared a room with in Spain when he was just

:45:44. > :45:45.

:45:45. > :45:50.a youngster. Agents, friends, his father, delighted to see him here.

:45:50. > :45:57.Paul Hutchins, the team manager, his mother. In the meantime,

:45:57. > :46:03.applause for Roger Federer, a great champion he will return. Blown off

:46:03. > :46:07.the court today in less than two hours, you couldn't have picked it.

:46:07. > :46:17.Laura, more hugs for her later because he goes for gold with her

:46:17. > :46:20.

:46:20. > :46:30.in the Mixed Doubles. And that is I hope he doesn't twist his ankle

:46:30. > :46:35.

:46:35. > :46:41.before that Mixed Doubles final. We have all been put through the

:46:41. > :46:51.wringer. Andy Murray's four Grand Slam championship finals he has

:46:51. > :46:56.faced. He is going to enjoy this as much as he felt they heard from the

:46:56. > :47:06.losses he has suffered. What a fantastic performance from Andy

:47:06. > :47:10.Murray. 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 on the Centre Court at Wimbledon to take apart

:47:10. > :47:15.Roger Federer. Unbelievable performance. I think he wants more

:47:15. > :47:25.this afternoon. How about a double gold? We will see later on. Singles

:47:25. > :47:32.

:47:32. > :47:36.He will sign a few autographs, then maybe an interview or two to be

:47:36. > :47:43.done down there. Some American television, the world will have

:47:43. > :47:52.watched this, it is a global sport, 44 nations represented. Andy Murray

:47:52. > :47:57.comes out on top. Are you OK this time?

:47:57. > :48:01.I feel much better. Definitely easier winning in the final then

:48:01. > :48:07.losing. I played a really good match, the conditions were very

:48:07. > :48:12.winded but I did well. You did more than well. Where do you put that in

:48:12. > :48:16.great victories? In it is number one. It is the biggest one of my

:48:16. > :48:22.life. This week has been incredible, so far. Had a lot of fun, the

:48:22. > :48:26.support has been amazing, one more match to go. It has been

:48:26. > :48:31.unbelievable. The crowd really has played their part, they have been

:48:31. > :48:34.like an extra player. Unbelievable. It is not just here, all of the

:48:34. > :48:43.events I have watched, I watched the athletics last night, it was

:48:43. > :48:48.amazing. Did it inspire you? It was amazing. The way Mo Farah one, I do

:48:48. > :48:53.400 metres repetitions in my training, and when I am completely

:48:53. > :49:00.fresh I can run it in 57 seconds and his last lap after 9,600 metres

:49:00. > :49:09.was 53 seconds. Unbelievable fitness. It gave me some momentum

:49:09. > :49:14.coming in. You are a Olympic champion. Amazing. I didn't expect

:49:14. > :49:18.that at the start of the week. I had a chance of going deep into the

:49:18. > :49:21.tournament, a bit tired after Wimbledon and playing in the Mixed

:49:21. > :49:28.Doubles as well but I felt so fresh. On the court today I didn't feel

:49:28. > :49:33.nervous, really, at all apart from the beginning of the match.

:49:33. > :49:37.Everyone was so worried about your after Wimbledon and said how will

:49:37. > :49:43.you respond? This is how you respond. It is worth it. I have had

:49:43. > :49:46.a lot of tough losses in my career. This was the best way to come back

:49:47. > :49:51.from a Wimbledon final, I will never forget it. You played a

:49:51. > :49:59.brilliant match, you thrilled everybody here and at home, and

:49:59. > :50:05.enjoy the ceremony, and the Mixed CLARE BALDING: You can hear the

:50:06. > :50:10.emotion in his voice and the fact he cannot get quite a ferret. He

:50:10. > :50:14.was a reaction in the Olympic Park, thousands of people gathered in the

:50:14. > :50:22.sunshine to watch Andy Murray win the gold medal in men's tennis.

:50:22. > :50:27.That is great Britain's first gold medal in tennis since 1908 when

:50:27. > :50:35.which she won it. This is Andy Murray to reaction to his biggest

:50:35. > :50:42.win of his life. 6-2, 6-1, 6-4, not often you see that in terms of

:50:42. > :50:45.Roger Federer's career losses. Murray has a great track record in

:50:45. > :50:51.the best of three-set matches against Federer, the first time he

:50:51. > :50:55.has beaten him in best-of-five. Let's go back to Centre Court and

:50:55. > :50:58.in the Mixed Doubles sown. Sue Barker not able to do interviews

:50:58. > :51:03.on-court as we would do at Wimbledon. This is the Olympics.

:51:03. > :51:10.From the reaction of Andy Murray you know how different it is. Tim

:51:10. > :51:14.Henman knows what it feels like, he won a silver medal of years back.

:51:14. > :51:19.It is a shame for the crowd they didn't get to hear from the new

:51:19. > :51:24.champion. You won a silver medal, you know what it is like to be at

:51:24. > :51:29.the Olympics. To do it in that manner was incredible. Absolutely

:51:29. > :51:33.amazing. Everybody has been talking about where their the brief would

:51:33. > :51:37.be closed and to his favour, and I thought after the performance at

:51:37. > :51:42.Wimbledon I thought Federer was the slight favourite but to play the

:51:42. > :51:46.greatest player in history of hour sport on his favourite court, and

:51:46. > :51:50.to win in three sets in less than two hours, unbelievable. I was

:51:50. > :51:56.watching the athletic as cycling yesterday. There is so much

:51:56. > :52:00.momentum in the British team. He has really taking advantage of that,

:52:00. > :52:04.the best performers I have seen in such a big match for him. --

:52:04. > :52:09.performance. He has got the chance to go for more gold this afternoon.

:52:09. > :52:13.It is incredible. I just said, we wondered how he would respond after

:52:13. > :52:17.that is by the end of the Wimbledon final, he has answered everybody by

:52:17. > :52:22.coming back even better. I think he learnt from that experience. The

:52:22. > :52:28.first couple of games where the key. He was able to get out of trouble,

:52:28. > :52:38.a couple of games went with serve and then to having to in the third

:52:38. > :52:43.

:52:43. > :52:50.set, that doesn't have done t Federer -- 2-2. It is unbelievable.

:52:50. > :52:56.It is amazing. He thoroughly deserves it. So may -- so much talk

:52:56. > :53:03.about the Grand Slam finals, an amazing achievement. And again, 2-0

:53:03. > :53:08.in the second set. Hello, what did you make of it? I thought he would

:53:08. > :53:11.have won a little bit easier. I think after everything he has been

:53:11. > :53:17.think after everything he has been through, every year, this guy knows

:53:17. > :53:23.all about that, I feel bad for you. I had silver and now he has got

:53:23. > :53:30.gold. It is unbelievable to feel like you could play here in London,

:53:30. > :53:33.at Wimbledon. That is where an Olympic gold is like a Slam. When

:53:33. > :53:38.they decide the next had the will be the valve -- the same value

:53:38. > :53:42.moving forward. We have had the fortune of had the tournament here.

:53:42. > :53:45.Andy Murray got inspired watching the athletics, cycling. You have

:53:45. > :53:49.been at the Olympic Park and you know what it means, great tennis is

:53:49. > :53:53.part of it. I keep saying this is my first one, loving every minute

:53:53. > :54:00.of it. I will go to about seven different events for next week.

:54:01. > :54:05.Without a doubt, if you look at tennis, Agassi got inspired,

:54:05. > :54:11.Sampras, that lifts people of. Magnified that way you get an

:54:11. > :54:15.Olympics where everybody is talking about your country, I remember I

:54:15. > :54:18.saw he spent the night in the village one night, and we are

:54:18. > :54:22.spoilt, tennis players, we don't realise how great we have it, we

:54:22. > :54:26.can make anything at all those other athletes who get them moment

:54:26. > :54:30.in the sun, financially the rewards are not there because they do it

:54:30. > :54:34.because it is the Olympics. For us to be part of that, people want to

:54:34. > :54:38.take pictures with the tennis players, eight or nine players

:54:38. > :54:43.actually carried their flags for the respective countries so I am

:54:43. > :54:47.starting to think, I wish I had played. As far as he goes, the way

:54:47. > :54:53.he has played here and the manner in which she has beaten Djokovic

:54:53. > :54:57.and Federer, he has got to dig a lot away. No doubt about it. When

:55:14. > :55:18.Federer in the final is unbelievable achievement. A huge

:55:18. > :55:24.moment, a huge stepping stone in his career. There's four Grand Slam

:55:24. > :55:27.finals he has lost would have been so hard to take an tears of

:55:27. > :55:31.disappointment, but to see him out there winning in straight sets is

:55:31. > :55:36.incredible. A long time since I have seen Federer so shell-shocked.

:55:36. > :55:41.The first time in a long time where he looked his age and he just

:55:41. > :55:45.didn't know what to do which is pretty hard. Djokovic has won

:55:45. > :55:51.Australia, Nadal won the French, Roger won Wimbledon, Andy Murray

:55:51. > :55:54.has won the Olympics, it is all up for grabs in the US Open, and then

:56:08. > :56:12.for the London games, this is what he wanted to do and came here and

:56:12. > :56:16.produced his best. The medal ceremony will take place and I have

:56:16. > :56:21.got the feeling he will break down again. Why not? There were tears of

:56:21. > :56:27.disappointment after the Wimbledon final. Again it was just that tiny,

:56:27. > :56:32.to have this around the corner and give him another opportunity, he

:56:32. > :56:42.has the whole nine days, it has been incredible. He should revel in

:56:42. > :56:46.

:56:46. > :56:52.every minute of it. Here they can. Juan Martin del Potro defeated

:56:52. > :56:58.Djokovic for the one Basil -- the bronze medal. The medallists been

:56:58. > :57:01.laid out at the victory ceremony. Juan Martin del Potro will be on

:01:27. > :01:32.as a family and the joy will be as well. A salute from the other men.

:01:32. > :01:36.They take medals at the London Olympics 2012 and now they will

:01:36. > :01:43.pose for the shots that will go around the world. It is the single

:01:43. > :01:50.shot of Andy Murray which will surely be viewed the most because

:01:50. > :01:55.this is a triumph which has been long in the coming. He can relax

:01:55. > :01:59.and enjoy the rest of the Olympic Games, which he so adores now. Safe

:01:59. > :02:03.and secure in the knowledge that he can win at the very highest level.

:02:03. > :02:07.There is no weakness. All the doubters who said there is a

:02:17. > :02:26.

:02:26. > :02:31.nonsense! There is no room for And one senses that after this

:02:31. > :02:41.victory, there could be so much more to come, but that is for

:02:41. > :02:44.

:02:45. > :02:51.another day. He must revel in this, Nobody but the competitors in the

:02:51. > :02:54.Olympic Games truly can understand what they go through, what steps

:02:54. > :03:00.they have to addicted within themselves, what inner strength

:03:00. > :03:07.they have to find to produce their ultimate performances. But it takes

:03:07. > :03:17.years. It is not success which just arrives overnight. There is no such

:03:17. > :03:27.

:03:28. > :03:33.They are very big gold medals, this year, almost? -- aren't they? The

:03:33. > :03:40.most important success of his career. And perhaps a launch pad

:03:40. > :03:49.for so much more, now that he has claimed that first victory at this

:03:49. > :03:54.level. Roger Federer stays as the world's number-one tennis player

:03:54. > :03:59.and the tennis world will regather in a few weeks, for New York City.

:03:59. > :04:02.But as far as Olympic tennis is concerned, well, it has gone from

:04:02. > :04:08.strength to strength this weekend you can see the commitment of the

:04:08. > :04:18.players, what that shows you about what they think about the Olympic

:04:18. > :04:54.

:04:54. > :05:00.Members of the ground staff there. The person in charge has been here

:05:00. > :05:04.23 years. They had to prepare the ground and they did a grand job.

:05:04. > :05:10.Centre Court has taken a hammering and so have all the courts in use.

:05:10. > :05:14.But just as they have been resilient, so too has Andy Murray.

:05:14. > :05:18.Tennis has made a valuable contribution to the medal table as

:05:19. > :05:22.far as Team GB are concerned and there is more to come to date and

:05:22. > :05:29.more Andy Murray and it is going to be a fascinating match, as he plays

:05:29. > :05:32.with such confidence with Laura Robson against Max Mirnyi and

:05:32. > :05:42.Victoria Azarenka a little bit later on. They are the top seeds in

:05:42. > :06:02.

:06:02. > :06:11.the mix but I don't think they are So that is it as far as singles is

:06:11. > :06:18.concerned from Centre Court. Serena Williams, double gold, singles and

:06:18. > :06:28.pairs. Gold for Andy Murray and Great Britain. What a fitting place

:06:28. > :06:33.

:06:33. > :06:39.to see his greatest triumph and Sue Bob thanks very much, and it,

:06:39. > :06:44.that was amazing, a proud, proud moment. One he will never forget?

:06:44. > :06:48.Definitely. It is incredible, the Olympic spirit. It is is are seeing

:06:48. > :06:52.a podium on the Centre Court of Wimbledon and Andy going up there,

:06:52. > :06:55.getting gold. He looked like he was in a state of shock but hopefully

:06:55. > :06:59.it can sinking quickly because he has more business to do this

:06:59. > :07:02.afternoon. We were saying, it is the man at with which she has

:07:02. > :07:07.played this tournament and the spirit, he looked a different

:07:07. > :07:10.person? You know, because we talked a lot of towns about getting the

:07:11. > :07:17.crowd in full tonight think it made a big difference and it bumped him

:07:17. > :07:20.up. That's six two game, a couple of times he could have lost it, the

:07:21. > :07:25.Crown will -- the crowd willed him on after a couple of mistakes he

:07:25. > :07:30.did not think he should make. He started feeding of it. This could

:07:30. > :07:33.be an argument for him playing mixed doubles that Major's because

:07:33. > :07:42.he seemed to really enjoy it out there. We are going to pause

:07:42. > :07:46.because I think Roger is coming in. A great effort. Hello, Roger. You

:07:46. > :07:51.came up against an inspired opponent today? Yes, he played very

:07:51. > :07:55.well. He was better, much better than I was today. But still, I am

:07:55. > :07:59.very happy with the silver. It was a tough tournament from start to

:07:59. > :08:06.finish. I had a very emotional tournament from the first round,

:08:06. > :08:10.the quarters, the semis, so maybe I was drained. I was left emotional

:08:10. > :08:16.in the early rounds but nevertheless, I don't think I

:08:17. > :08:20.played too bad in the finals but things did not go my weight and

:08:20. > :08:29.Andy was confident, made good decisions. It is unfortunate but

:08:29. > :08:34.still a great day for me. It was an emotional semi-final but how key

:08:34. > :08:36.was that to nil game in the second question he was up a break already.

:08:37. > :08:41.You had so many break points already come it could have swung

:08:41. > :08:44.it? We had the same amount of break points but he converted that many

:08:44. > :08:49.more. I did not convert any. That is not good enough to win a finals

:08:49. > :08:55.like that. I really hope to with the best-of-five sets I would get

:08:55. > :09:01.my teeth into the match but I felt I was slow in the corner. Some

:09:01. > :09:05.wrong decisions from time to time. That does not pay off in the finals.

:09:05. > :09:08.Andy looked like he was never doubting himself, he had a clear

:09:08. > :09:13.plan. I did to but he came through. Was it too soon after Wimbledon for

:09:13. > :09:17.you to peak? No, I had a great preparation, all of us. I took

:09:17. > :09:22.three weeks off. Everything went perfect. I could not be more happy.

:09:22. > :09:26.Today, a few points here and there, things could have been different. I

:09:26. > :09:30.had a medal, that is what I wanted in the singles. I am happy for Andy,

:09:31. > :09:34.because he has a tough last few years, on a very high level, let's

:09:34. > :09:39.not feel too sorry for him. He has had a wonderful career. I am happy

:09:39. > :09:45.he got the gold today. Well said, thank you for coming up, I know you

:09:45. > :09:49.have other commitments. Thank you, Roger. That sums it up, the whole

:09:49. > :09:54.tournament took too much out of him? That is right. You could see

:09:54. > :09:59.after he won the semi-final against Del Potro, he went 90-17 in this

:09:59. > :10:04.third. There were tears of joy in a semi-final which is unheard of for

:10:04. > :10:08.Federer. -- he won it 19-17. Perhaps it was one step too far and

:10:08. > :10:14.the final but Murray was the biggest problem. He played a clean

:10:14. > :10:17.match. You reflect on Marie's final five sets in this event, the two

:10:17. > :10:22.sets against Djokovic and three straight against their career, it

:10:22. > :10:26.is unbelievable. He played best. He deserves the gold medal. It is a

:10:26. > :10:30.huge stepping stone for him in the context of his career. Roger was

:10:30. > :10:35.gracious in defeat, as you would expect but as far as he was saying,

:10:35. > :10:40.emotionally and physically drained. Yes, it is hard to play all those

:10:40. > :10:44.matches, six matches in eight days. I think it caught up to him. He

:10:44. > :10:52.looked a little flat. Murray's movement was unbelievable and got

:10:52. > :10:56.in his head. He did not worry much about the 2-0 game, he said he was

:10:56. > :11:00.a breakdown but it could have switched momentum. At Wimbledon and

:11:00. > :11:06.the final, there was a 20 minute service game for Murray and Federer

:11:06. > :11:10.broke. It went to about ten or 11 juices and Federer got a break of

:11:10. > :11:14.serve and got on a roll and Murray was the one on the role of Berrett

:11:14. > :11:19.was trying to get back in. Once he was up, that was a great platform

:11:19. > :11:22.but he did not stop. He won nine straight games and that does not

:11:22. > :11:27.happen to Federer on a grass court, so an incredible achievement and he

:11:27. > :11:31.should be very proud. I have to do something for American TV, I will

:11:31. > :11:35.see you soon. Thank you, John. We could have

:11:35. > :11:39.another gold medal because he is coming out in about 40 minutes to

:11:40. > :11:42.play the mixed doubles with Laura Robson. They are up against

:11:42. > :11:48.Azarenka and Max Mirnyi, the top seeds. But anything is possible

:11:48. > :11:53.that? Murray will be walking on there. People will say has the had

:11:53. > :11:57.a tough schedule, but he will have so much adrenalin and the way the

:11:57. > :12:01.spirit of the Great Britain team across all sports has been

:12:01. > :12:06.producing some unbelievable performances, he will say, let's do

:12:06. > :12:09.the double here. Laura Robson, what a story that is. She was not in the

:12:09. > :12:13.singles event and she got in as an altar that and then she was in

:12:13. > :12:18.doubles, suddenly she is in mixed and playing for the gold medal. It
