that volley from Azarenka, straight to Andy Murray. To be fair to

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

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

Laura Robson looks a bit nervous. That was one of the most effective

Victoria Azarenka. She is the number-one singles player in the

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

She has had a good year in the When she serves like this, that is

tough for the opposing team. She has served him well during the

Mixed Doubles. There have been a couple of bottles, but she has got

: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-

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

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

:15:20.: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

comes back at you three times as quick. Look at the confidence of

Doubles as well, he won at Wimbledon 40 years ago with Serena

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

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

Mirnyi just about gets through a service game, and they get on the
