:03:59. > :04:06.Belorussians? You cannot lose the opening serve with the man serving,
:04:06. > :04:10.you just cannot do that. Mirnyi played an awful game there. Laura

:04:15. > :04:19.attacked. When she is going for it, she will make some mistakes but she

:08:29. > :08:55.
:08:55. > :09:00.OK, though. A good first volley from Robson. I like the way she is
:09:00. > :09:05.staying close into the net. She is not backing up. She is making them

:09:15. > :09:21.I can't believe Andy Murray has actually entered next week in the
:09:21. > :09:25.Masters series in Toronto. I have a feeling there might be a phone call

:09:46. > :09:51.There have been a few phone-calls to that Montreal tournament. Rafael

:11:48. > :11:58.A lot more movement now from Mirnyi. He is trying to get into this match
:11:58. > :12:17.
:12:17. > :12:24.This is the big game coming up now. The first pressure game. The Brits
:12:24. > :12:34.has been so good right from the start. It has been plain sailing.
:12:34. > :12:34.
:12:34. > :12:44.Laura Robson is serving this. This is where Azarenka will expect she

:13:08. > :13:13.serve, Robson. She had a bit of a struggle against the Aussies in the

:13:55. > :14:05.Certainly not feeling the pressure so far. That was a magnificent
:14:05. > :14:27.
:14:27. > :14:31.One of the things that has helped the British team is in the great

:14:36. > :14:46.to get a feel of the Olympics. Yet she is staying at home, which is

:15:45. > :15:51.Belorussians finally have a break That is it. We have a momentum
:15:52. > :16:01.switch now in this gold medal match. It can change so quickly. Andy
:16:01. > :16:11.Murray should have made that volley, He is mad himself, he knows it cost
:16:11. > :16:12.
:16:12. > :16:22.them back again. A different format for the mixed doubles. It will be a

:18:24. > :18:34.they play it, first to 10. Instead It has been high risk, high-stakes

:19:29. > :19:36.The scenery has completely changed in this match. Doesn't take a lot
:19:37. > :19:41.in doubles. Whether it is normal or mixed doubles, a couple of mistakes,
:19:41. > :19:47.and Andy Murray just missed that forehand volley at 30-30 on Laura
:19:47. > :19:57.Robson's serve, and he had been immaculate throughout. Then the
:19:57. > :20:23.
:20:24. > :20:30.whole momentum changes, it can go Azarenka, also playing a lot better
:20:30. > :20:40.now. Also getting more returns back into play, tipping the ball at

:22:01. > :22:05.Four service games played for Andy Murray, just four points lost. It
:22:05. > :22:13.is such a dominant part of Great Britain's performance out here on

:22:23. > :22:31.
:22:31. > :22:40.Much better served, they missed a lot of first serves in the first
:22:40. > :22:43.set. Laura Robson hasn't had as many opportunities to give the big
:22:43. > :22:53.returns she is capable of. She has been at full stretch much more in
:22:53. > :23:06.
:23:06. > :23:16.Is that adrenalin ever going to run out? A I don't think so! Bidding to

:24:48. > :24:53.So, where now fraught Robson and Murray? What should their response
:24:53. > :24:58.be? The thing is, their opponents have both started playing better,
:24:58. > :25:03.but they are both returning serve better, Mirnyi is the one who is
:25:03. > :25:10.taking charge at the net, and Azarenka is solid from the baseline.
:25:10. > :25:15.They have to keep on focusing here. This is a big game coming up. Laura
:25:15. > :25:20.Robson has to keep going for the ball and she has been. She hasn't
:25:21. > :25:24.been getting as many balls over, but a lot of that is the serving
:25:24. > :25:29.from Mirnyi and at Azarenka, which has been a lot better in this said.
:25:30. > :25:34.But it will come. Even read doesn't in this set, you have the tie-
:25:34. > :25:39.breaker, which it is very open, anything can happen. Andy Murray is
:25:39. > :25:49.the captain, he has to keep encouraging Laura. A long way to go

:26:13. > :26:23.yet. Great Britain, serving to stay He has been great, Andy Murray. He
:26:23. > :26:28.
:26:28. > :26:38.has been so good with her. It has It has been lovely, because he
:26:38. > :26:47.
:26:47. > :26:55.doesn't dare tell her exactly what Azarenka, not happy with Mirnyi
:26:55. > :27:05.there! Le oche he wasn't turning round to see her reaction -- lucky.

:27:05. > :27:53.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:27:53. > :28:02.The hands went up in the air. Why That is too good. Azarenka, really
:28:02. > :28:07.coming to the party now. As she said, she is the Australian Open
:28:07. > :28:17.champion, already a bronze in the singles. She beat Kirilenko for the

:28:34. > :28:39.Laura Robson wanted a piece of that Yesterday, Laura's parents were
:28:39. > :28:45.here at Wimbledon, I haven't seen them here today, I almost have the
:28:45. > :28:50.feeling they can't bear to watch. I'm sure they must be at home

:33:29. > :33:34.Azarenka and Mirnyi certainly proved they were level. This is a

:34:04. > :34:09.Not a good start but unlike with the normal tie-break, first-7, it
