second medal of the day, after A great start from Robson and | :00:46. | :00:56. | |
:00:56. | :01:19. | ||
Well, that was a surprise. sheer pressure of serving to the | :01:19. | :01:28. | |
18-year-old has already got to Max This would be a sensational start | :01:28. | :01:38. | |
:01:38. | :01:48. | ||
if Murray can convert this break Max Mirnyi has had a great career, | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
over 45 doubles titles. He was a singles player and 11 title, about | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
10 years ago he was ranked top 20 in the world but of late he has | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
become very much a doubles specialist and is the reigning | :01:59. | :02:09. | |

French Open champion, with Canadian Very nice play there. She knows | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
they're going to come at her. She has to be alert. She said before | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
the semi-final she was inspired watching the rowing, watching them | :03:25. | :03:34. | |
She was tweeting today that she was watching all the action from the | :03:34. | :03:43. | |
athletics. She has caught a Olympic That wasn't the right place to hit | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
that volley from Azarenka, straight to Andy Murray. To be fair to | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Azarenka, she doesn't play a lot of doubles these days due to the | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
singles commitments. She's only played two doubles matches this | :03:56. | :04:06. | |

year coming into this Olympic event. Max Mirnyi has got such a good | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
serve, such a good kick serve, but he was very nervous in that game. | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
Azarenka was a bit tight as well there. Laura Robson, what a | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
magnificent turn of serve. Andy Murray, well, you expect that from | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
him, you can probably count on one hand the returns he has missed | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
during the mixed doubles run. He's been so solid. He's also... I can't | :05:14. | :05:24. | |
:05:24. | :05:56. | ||
remember when he's been broken in A good move from Laura Robson. No | :05:56. | :06:06. | |

hesitation, because Andy Murray What has been lovely to watch with | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
this partnership is how protective Murray is of Laura. He's like an | :06:20. | :06:29. | |
He is seven years older. He has been so supportive. Chats between | :06:29. | :06:39. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds | :07:32. | :08:48. | |
Laura Robson looks a bit nervous. That was one of the most effective | :08:48. | :08:58. | |
:08:58. | :09:01. | ||
Fantastic returns from both of them. Mirnyi itching to get across. | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
spent the last Olympics camp out in front of her TV, watched every | :09:04. | :09:14. | |
:09:14. | :09:32. | ||
Now she's playing in a gold medal That's one of the reasons why she | :09:32. | :09:42. | |
:09:42. | :09:50. | ||
is so good in mixed doubles, she It's a double break! It is Murray | :09:50. | :10:00. | |
:10:00. | :10:25. | ||
and Robson who lead 3-0 in his It is that kind of date! Anything | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
is possible! I do not know if you caught the LOCOG dejection from | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
Victoria Azarenka. She is the number-one singles player in the | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
world, and she is partnering the number one Men's Doubles player in | :10:39. | :10:48. | |
the world. In the Mixed Doubles, the men' at serve is almost a | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
Guinea, so for them to be broken twice, they are not in the match. | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
It is going so quickly. This is a big game for Laura Robson, if she | :11:01. | :11:11. | |
:11:11. | :11:11. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds | :11:11. | :12:42. | |
She has had a good year in the When she serves like this, that is | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
tough for the opposing team. She has served him well during the | :12:47. | :12:54. | |
Mixed Doubles. There have been a couple of bottles, but she has got | :12:54. | :13:04. | |
:13:04. | :13:15. | ||
Why did I say that?! That is where the problem has been. She takes | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
chances, it is better for her to go for it. You are getting over- | :13:21. | :13:31. | |
:13:31. | :14:05. | ||
excited, the Olympic tennis has got Laura Robson is the best player on | :14:05. | :14:15. | |
the court at the moment. What a debut at this Olympics for Laura | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
Robson, what an experience in your very first Olympic games. The | :14:20. | :14:30. | |
:14:30. | :15:02. | ||
Watched by his father. He was a good volleyball player in his time. | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
He sent Macs at 14 to Brooklyn to train, and a year later, to the | :15:10. | :15:20. | |
:15:20. | :15:27. | ||
Where do you serve against Andy Murray when he is in this mood? | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
Perhaps into the body is the only play. Anything in the wings, it | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
comes back at you three times as quick. Look at the confidence of | :15:36. | :15:46. | |
:15:46. | :15:58. | ||
Feeling the pressure. They also rattled. Do not forget, this is a | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
man with six Men's Doubles Grand Slam titles. A couple of Mixed | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
Doubles as well, he won at Wimbledon 40 years ago with Serena | :16:08. | :16:18. | |
:16:18. | :16:28. | ||
I think he is rattled because it is like a football team, your manager | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
comes through with a plan and you go one goal down in the first three | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
minutes. Since he lost his opening service game, he is shaky. He has | :16:40. | :16:50. | |
:16:50. | :16:53. | ||
With his experience, he should be boss in this match, and he is | :16:53. | :17:03. | |

Max Mirnyi and are older brother figure to Victoria Azarenka. | :17:22. | :17:31. | |
:17:32. | :18:00. | ||
Victoria Azarenka was the ball girl Perfect play. Tis what Laura Robson | :18:00. | :18:07. | |
is doing well. She stays up and moves for words. There is no hint | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
of backing off. She can take the volley very early. It makes it more | :18:12. | :18:22. | |
:18:22. | :18:35. | ||
simple when you are that close to It is a pitiful Andy Murray, he | :18:35. | :18:45. | |
:18:45. | :19:03. | ||
backed up. -- it is a pity for Andy Not quite from Laura Robson. Max | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
Mirnyi just about gets through a service game, and they get on the | :19:08. | :19:17. | |
:19:18. | :19:23. | ||
This is not following the script. No. They go back a long way, they | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
won the Mixed Doubles at the US Open five years ago. That is when | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
the tennis world started to wake up to how could this young woman could | :19:32. | :19:41. | |
be. He is very protective of her. When she was playing tennis, it was | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
at the time when the Soviet Union had broken up, and there was not a | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
lot of funding in Della Reese. There was not a federation. It is | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
different now. Max Mirnyi has opened a sports centre in Minsk. It | :19:55. | :20:05. | |
:20:05. | :20:20. | ||
is a different place from what it He has told Victoria Azarenka to | :20:20. | :20:30. | |
:20:30. | :20:34. | ||
stay back even on the second serve. That is why! It is not a bad play. | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
Victoria as the Brent's ground strokes are so good, she can do | :20:39. | :20:49. | |
:20:49. | :20:51. | ||
damage from the back of the court - Next minute going up to the net, | :20:51. | :21:01. | |
:21:01. | :21:32. | ||
Andy Murray saw Max Mirnyi charging, and he took his eye off the half | :21:32. | :21:42. | |

He just absolutely unleashed about forehand. That was a gigantic | :24:38. | :24:47. | |
forehand. Look at how far back he is. He said, I am not even going to | :24:47. | :24:57. | |
:24:57. | :25:18. | ||
