Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds | :01:36. | :02:28. | |
This team had been absolutely brilliant. They have broken Max me | :02:28. | :02:38. | |
:02:38. | :02:50. | ||
knee in the very first game of this There is almost a grown up when the | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
Andy Murray makes a mistake, that is how perfectly has been all day - | :02:55. | :03:05. | |
:03:05. | :03:12. | ||
Great Britain take the opening set! It only takes them 30 minutes. | :03:12. | :03:22. | |
:03:22. | :03:42. | ||
he challenge? He did challenge. But We will get some statistics up in a | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
minute but until we do, what has gone right for Great Britain and | :03:46. | :03:54. | |
what has not worked for the Belorussian squares -- | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
Belorussians? You cannot lose the opening serve with the man serving, | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
you just cannot do that. Mirnyi played an awful game there. Laura | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
Robson has just continued at the way she has been playing, she has | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
attacked. When she is going for it, she will make some mistakes but she | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
puts a lot of pressure on her opponents and her first serve has | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
been so good. At the moment Mirnyi and Azarenka cannot get rural | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
Robson. That was supposed to be the weak link -- cannot get to Laura | :04:31. | :04:41. | |
They know they have to get into the match right now, Belarus. The need | :04:41. | :04:49. | |
to put some pressure on Robson, because she has been brilliant. You | :04:49. | :04:59. | |
:04:59. | :04:59. | ||
have to try and stay away from Andy Will there be a response from the | :04:59. | :05:09. | |
:05:09. | :05:09. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds | :05:09. | :06:01. | |
top seeds? Mirnyi will start us off In the top right, in the red shirt, | :06:01. | :06:11. | |
:06:11. | :06:11. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds | :06:11. | :07:10. | |
That is brilliant serving from Just the start that the top seeds | :07:10. | :07:20. | |
:07:20. | :07:58. | ||
Nicely done there from Murray. He put it nice and deep. He has only | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
played four events this year in doubles, because of his singles | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
commitments. They will with his brother, Jamie. -- and they will | :08:07. | :08:15. | |
He is such a great tennis player that he would win Grand Slams if he | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
played doubles, as would Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. They | :08:19. | :08:29. | |
:08:29. | :08:55. | ||
OK, though. A good first volley from Robson. I like the way she is | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
staying close into the net. She is not backing up. She is making them | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
hit really good shot to get past her. She is staying close to the | :09:05. | :09:15. | |
:09:15. | :09:15. | ||
I can't believe Andy Murray has actually entered next week in the | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
Masters series in Toronto. I have a feeling there might be a phone call | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
being made. He can't play that surely, after all this emotion this | :09:25. | :09:35. | |
:09:35. | :09:46. | ||
There have been a few phone-calls to that Montreal tournament. Rafael | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
Nadal is out, Roger Federer is out, Djokovic is out. We won't worry | :09:51. | :10:01. | |
:10:01. | :10:01. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds | :10:01. | :11:03. | |
Laura says her Olympic title is It is OK. Don't forget, she is 18. | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
This is the biggest match of her career. She had to go for that. No | :11:09. | :11:19. | |
:11:19. | :11:48. | ||
A lot more movement now from Mirnyi. He is trying to get into this match | :11:48. | :11:58. | |
:11:58. | :12:17. | ||
This is the big game coming up now. The first pressure game. The Brits | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
has been so good right from the start. It has been plain sailing. | :12:24. | :12:34. | |
:12:34. | :12:34. | ||
Laura Robson is serving this. This is where Azarenka will expect she | :12:34. | :12:44. | |
:12:44. | :13:03. | ||
will have the best chance of She has been so solid so far on | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
serve, Robson. She had a bit of a struggle against the Aussies in the | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
quarter-finals. They broke her three times. And twice against the | :13:13. | :13:23. | |
:13:23. | :13:55. | ||
Certainly not feeling the pressure so far. That was a magnificent | :13:55. | :14:05. | |
:14:05. | :14:27. | ||
One of the things that has helped the British team is in the great | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
preparation they have had, Laura did a few days in the village, just | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
to get a feel of the Olympics. Yet she is staying at home, which is | :14:36. | :14:46. | |
:14:46. | :15:01. | ||
They have also been able to get away from its a little, they have a | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
little house at the back here, so they can have treatment, and just | :15:05. | :15:15. | |
:15:15. | :15:20. | ||
take a break from a very busy That was a late call, but it is out. | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
That was a pity, because it was a good first serve from Robson. | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
has taken almost three-quarters of an hour of play. But the | :15:32. | :15:42. | |
:15:42. | :15:45. | ||
Belorussians finally have a break That is it. We have a momentum | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
switch now in this gold medal match. It can change so quickly. Andy | :15:52. | :16:01. | |
Murray should have made that volley, He is mad himself, he knows it cost | :16:01. | :16:11. | |
:16:11. | :16:12. | ||
them back again. A different format for the mixed doubles. It will be a | :16:12. | :16:22. | |
:16:22. | :16:22. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds | :16:22. | :18:01. | |
10 point tie-breaker if we need to As I said, we're not there yet, but | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
it does look as if we are heading to a Champions' tie-break, which | :18:06. | :18:16. | |
:18:16. | :18:24. | ||
they play it, first to 10. Instead It has been high risk, high-stakes | :18:24. | :18:34. | |
:18:34. | :18:51. | ||
The beast has been woken. He is really starting to take control in | :18:51. | :19:01. | |
:19:01. | :19:09. | ||
Mirnyi holds once more. The Belorussians take a 4-1 lead in the | :19:09. | :19:19. | |
:19:19. | :19:29. | ||
The scenery has completely changed in this match. Doesn't take a lot | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
in doubles. Whether it is normal or mixed doubles, a couple of mistakes, | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
and Andy Murray just missed that forehand volley at 30-30 on Laura | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
Robson's serve, and he had been immaculate throughout. Then the | :19:47. | :19:57. | |
:19:57. | :20:23. | ||
whole momentum changes, it can go Azarenka, also playing a lot better | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
now. Also getting more returns back into play, tipping the ball at | :20:30. | :20:40. | |
:20:40. | :21:10. | ||
Hasn't Judy been through quite Girlfriend Kim and Father William | :21:10. | :21:20. | |
:21:20. | :21:36. | ||
somewhere in that play a box as Has to be absolutely perfect, when | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
you are coming in for a volley like that, Mirnyi is a big man, you have | :21:42. | :21:52. | |
:21:52. | :22:01. | ||
Four service games played for Andy Murray, just four points lost. It | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
is such a dominant part of Great Britain's performance out here on | :22:05. | :22:13. | |
Centre Court. Can the Belorussians get through the Azarenka service | :22:13. | :22:23. | |
:22:23. | :22:31. | ||
Much better served, they missed a lot of first serves in the first | :22:31. | :22:40. | |
set. Laura Robson hasn't had as many opportunities to give the big | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
returns she is capable of. She has been at full stretch much more in | :22:43. | :22:53. | |
:22:53. | :23:06. | ||
Is that adrenalin ever going to run out? A I don't think so! Bidding to | :23:06. | :23:16. | |
:23:16. | :23:17. | ||
become a double gold medallist That was good from Azarenka. She is | :23:17. | :23:27. | |
:23:27. | :23:29. | ||
She went off to train in the United States at a young age on her own. | :23:29. | :23:39. | |
:23:39. | :23:39. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds | :23:39. | :24:20. | |
Her rich to the top has been a This is a great fightback from | :24:20. | :24:30. | |
:24:30. | :24:48. | ||
So, where now fraught Robson and Murray? What should their response | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
be? The thing is, their opponents have both started playing better, | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
but they are both returning serve better, Mirnyi is the one who is | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
taking charge at the net, and Azarenka is solid from the baseline. | :25:03. | :25:10. | |
They have to keep on focusing here. This is a big game coming up. Laura | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
Robson has to keep going for the ball and she has been. She hasn't | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
been getting as many balls over, but a lot of that is the serving | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
from Mirnyi and at Azarenka, which has been a lot better in this said. | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
But it will come. Even read doesn't in this set, you have the tie- | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
breaker, which it is very open, anything can happen. Andy Murray is | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
the captain, he has to keep encouraging Laura. A long way to go | :25:39. | :25:49. | |
:25:49. | :26:13. | ||
yet. Great Britain, serving to stay He has been great, Andy Murray. He | :26:13. | :26:23. | |
:26:23. | :26:28. | ||
has been so good with her. It has It has been lovely, because he | :26:28. | :26:38. | |
:26:38. | :26:47. | ||
doesn't dare tell her exactly what Azarenka, not happy with Mirnyi | :26:47. | :26:55. | |
there! Le oche he wasn't turning round to see her reaction -- lucky. | :26:55. | :27:05. | |
:27:05. | :27:05. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds | :27:05. | :27:53. | |
The hands went up in the air. Why That is too good. Azarenka, really | :27:53. | :28:02. | |
coming to the party now. As she said, she is the Australian Open | :28:02. | :28:07. | |
champion, already a bronze in the singles. She beat Kirilenko for the | :28:07. | :28:17. | |
:28:17. | :28:34. | ||
Laura Robson wanted a piece of that Yesterday, Laura's parents were | :28:34. | :28:39. | |
here at Wimbledon, I haven't seen them here today, I almost have the | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
feeling they can't bear to watch. I'm sure they must be at home | :28:45. | :28:50. | |
somewhere, hidden about somewhere in the grounds. I'm sure they won't | :28:50. | :29:00. | |
:29:00. | :29:02. | ||
Max Mirnyi now, with the new balls, serving to take this into the | :29:02. | :29:12. | |
:29:12. | :29:12. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds | :29:12. | :30:32. | |
They haven't missed too much in this second set, the top seed's. | :30:32. | :30:42. | |
:30:42. | :30:56. | ||
They were quite inspirational in the first set, Murray and Robson. | :30:56. | :31:02. | |
It has been the Belorussians that have dominated the second. Mirnyi | :31:02. | :31:12. | |
:31:12. | :31:12. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds | :31:12. | :32:19. | |
After exactly one hour's play, Azarenka and Mirnyi level up and | :32:19. | :32:29. | |
:32:29. | :32:36. | ||
It is all on the line now. This 10 point tie-breaker. If we see when | :32:36. | :32:40. | |
Great Britain hath won this mixed doubles events. It has only been | :32:40. | :32:46. | |
played six times. They one the inaugural one in 1900, Dougherty | :32:46. | :32:56. | |
and Cooper, in Paris. -- A won the inaugural one. They got FF300. In | :32:56. | :33:06. | |
:33:06. | :33:09. | ||
Stockholm, Great Britain won. And 1920, and work. -- in Antwerp. The | :33:09. | :33:19. | |
:33:19. | :33:29. | ||
Azarenka and Mirnyi certainly proved they were level. This is a | :33:29. | :33:34. | |
shoot-out now. First to 10. Anything can happen. Who hold their | :33:34. | :33:44. | |
:33:44. | :34:04. | ||
Not a good start but unlike with the normal tie-break, first-7, it | :34:04. | :34:09. | |
is first to 10, so time to get back if you do get a bad start. That | :34:09. | :34:19. | |
:34:19. | :34:47. | ||
The noise around the Centre court has to be heard to be believed. How | :34:47. | :34:57. | |
:34:57. | :35:12. | ||
they would love to see another Max Mirnyi is serving so much | :35:12. | :35:22. | |
:35:22. | :35:22. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds | :35:22. | :36:32. | |
Robson takes on Mirnyi. She did This is the first to 10, not your | :36:32. | :36:42. | |
:36:42. | :36:55. | ||
It is on the line! That look like that was Mirnyi's | :36:55. | :37:02. | |
point there. It looked like it was almost there, but great reflex from | :37:02. | :37:10. | |
Laura Robson. Again, not intimidated. Not moving back. | :37:10. | :37:20. | |
:37:20. | :37:21. | ||
18-year-old has been terrific in They changed ends every six points. | :37:21. | :37:31. | |
:37:31. | :37:45. | ||
That was just a response to the amount that Mirnyi was starting to | :37:45. | :37:52. | |
move around the court in that second set. Laura was not sure | :37:52. | :38:02. | |
:38:02. | :38:26. | ||
Murray has to reassure her. No big deal. They have got time. | :38:27. | :38:33. | |
Azarenka's serve is vulnerable. If they get to nine apiece, it will be | :38:33. | :38:43. | |
:38:43. | :38:58. | ||
That is better! That was a fine That is what you have got to do | :38:58. | :39:02. | |
when your partner has played a bad point. Help her out, as he did with | :39:02. | :39:12. | |
:39:12. | :39:32. | ||
that belief. Excellent play. -- as A little disturbance, there was a | :39:32. | :39:42. | |
:39:42. | :39:45. | ||
child crying, it has just been Yes! Back come Murray and Robson | :39:45. | :39:51. | |
again! Excellent play from Murray and | :39:51. | :39:56. | |
Robson. Standing so close to their net there, it is very difficult for | :39:56. | :40:00. | |
the opposing team took on the back to Robson because she is right on | :40:00. | :40:04. | |
top of the net so they have to almost go back to Murray. CROWD: | :40:04. | :40:12. | |
Team GB! Team GB! We are back on serve once more in | :40:12. | :40:22. | |
:40:22. | :40:46. | ||
Two serves for Murray to come. could be a good passage of play for | :40:46. | :40:53. | |
the British team if Murray can hold these two serves. Azarenka would | :40:53. | :41:01. | |
then be serving. Have you ever seen him serve this will? No. He is | :41:01. | :41:07. | |
serving brilliantly. -- serve this wealth? They will change and! Once | :41:07. | :41:15. | |
more. -- they were changed ends once more. A gold medal on the line. | :41:15. | :41:25. | |
:41:25. | :41:59. | ||
I had a feeling that was going to go there. The momentum changes | :41:59. | :42:05. | |
hands once more. Again, the Belorussians with the mini-break, | :42:05. | :42:10. | |
with the slightest of advantages in this champion's time break -- tie- | :42:10. | :42:20. | |
:42:20. | :42:53. | ||
breaks. Two says now for Azarenka. I don't believe that. I did not see | :42:54. | :43:03. | |
:43:04. | :43:25. | ||
that happening. This is a must win Azarenka is too strong for the | :43:25. | :43:31. | |
young Laura. That was brilliant play from Azarenka because Murray | :43:31. | :43:36. | |
made his move. She saw him go. She hit the ball beautifully in the | :43:36. | :43:42. | |
tramlines. After an hour and 10 minutes of play, the top seeds, | :43:42. | :43:52. | |
:43:52. | :44:05. | ||
Azarenka and Mirnyi, have three Solid groundstrokes there from | :44:05. | :44:15. | |
:44:15. | :44:52. | ||
Still two gold medal. Remain for Well! Two saved! One remains. Max | :44:52. | :44:59. | |
Mirnyi has never one an Olympic battle for his success in doubles. | :44:59. | :45:09. | |
:45:09. | :45:21. | ||
That is it! It will be a silver medal for Robson and married. And | :45:21. | :45:27. | |
gold to Azarenka and Mirnyi. Absolute delight for the Bella | :45:27. | :45:37. | |
:45:37. | :45:46. | ||
Russian pair, the top seeds in this Absolute joy for the world No. 1, | :45:46. | :45:51. | |
Victoria Azarenka, a bronze in singles, a gold medal in doubles. | :45:51. | :45:57. | |
And Mirnyi, at 35, probably his last Olympics, finally add cold | :45:57. | :46:07. | |
:46:07. | :46:11. | ||
medal, to go with all those grand There will be quite a party tonight, | :46:11. | :46:18. | |
I would imagine. Azarenka is meant to be in Montreal next week, I | :46:18. | :46:28. | |
:46:28. | :46:35. | ||
Disappointment for Andy Murray and Laura Robson. They were | :46:35. | :46:38. | |
inspirational in their opening set, they just couldn't quite keep it | :46:38. | :46:48. | |
:46:48. | :46:59. | ||
Well, huge disappointment, I am They are really good team, and it | :46:59. | :47:04. | |
was a close match, I just want to say thank you to Andy for playing | :47:05. | :47:08. | |
with because it is but one of the best weeks of my life. She has | :47:08. | :47:15. | |
played so well? Is she was unbelievable, returning at the | :47:15. | :47:19. | |
serve really well, and at the end of all of their matches, she played | :47:19. | :47:28. | |
some great tennis, and yes... Disappointed. They are such a tough | :47:28. | :47:33. | |
team, though. Yes, they are the top seeds for a reason. For me, I was | :47:33. | :47:38. | |
just happy to be in the final, but this is tough to lose today. | :47:38. | :47:44. | |
thoroughbred, you have a cold and a silver to add a for Team GB! | :47:44. | :47:48. | |
would have signed up for that at the start of the event. It is just | :47:48. | :47:56. |
