Quarter-Finals

:00:38. > :00:48.Good afternoon. It has not been a great week to be a big-name player

:00:48. > :00:52.

:00:52. > :00:55.But don't worry - we still have a host of talent left in the draw. A

:00:55. > :01:00.former top 10 player climbing his way back up the rankings, Marin

:01:00. > :01:04.Cilic. An American who knows how to win

:01:04. > :01:11.here, the champion of two years ago, Sam Querrey.

:01:11. > :01:15.A young man with a big future, the talented Bulgaria Grigor Dimitrov.

:01:15. > :01:22.The highest ranked player left in the draw, though, is this man, the

:01:22. > :01:26.world No. 8, Janko Tipsarevic. So, a different look to this year's

:01:26. > :01:32.AEGON Championships, with some new names emerging. But the biggest

:01:32. > :01:37.worry today is the weather. We have forecasts of some showers in the

:01:37. > :01:39.afternoon. It could be one of those afternoon. It could be one of those

:01:39. > :01:45.days. We have already had one. But this is the quarter-final line-up

:01:45. > :01:54.as it stands. Grigor Dimitrov has come through well really we were

:01:54. > :01:58.expecting to see it Andy Murray. He is KEVIN Anderson. Javier Malisse

:01:58. > :02:08.is through to face either David Nalbandian or Edouard Roger-

:02:08. > :02:09.

:02:09. > :02:16.Vasselin. Morrissey it will face Vasselin. Morrissey it will face

:02:16. > :02:26.either Lu or Tipsarevic. -- Marin Cilic.

:02:26. > :02:34.

:02:34. > :02:40.It continues on court number one as well. Nalbandian and Roger-Vasselin

:02:40. > :02:46.are tied four or in the opening set. The winner will be back to face

:02:46. > :02:49.Malisse. So I think it is going to be one of

:02:49. > :02:57.those days. By have got a feeling we could be doing a bit of talking

:02:57. > :03:01.today. Another very strong wind as well. So, not easy conditions.

:03:01. > :03:07.It is pretty miserable. They just want to get out there and play.

:03:07. > :03:12.What are you talking about? It is beautiful. The court has been under

:03:12. > :03:15.a bubble the whole time. It is not slippery anymore. It is windy, but

:03:15. > :03:20.it will be all right. But what about the ball toss in

:03:20. > :03:25.this wind? It is a whole new look. There's a

:03:25. > :03:28.chance for some way to make a real statement.

:03:28. > :03:33.I would say Tipsarevic probably is the favourite just simply because

:03:33. > :03:38.he is the guy who has been in top form for some time and seems to be

:03:39. > :03:44.pretty comfortable in that position that he is in. OK, he is probably

:03:44. > :03:48.not a Grande -- born grass court player, but he looks good. Dimitrov

:03:48. > :03:52.is the guy to look out for. He does look like he could be comfortable

:03:52. > :03:55.on this surface. He is starting to get confident.

:03:55. > :04:00.He was very impressive yesterday. If he can string some matches

:04:00. > :04:05.together, he will be one to watch. The big news today is about Jo-

:04:05. > :04:12.Wilfried Tsonga, who lost yesterday. He has suffered his injury. Watch

:04:12. > :04:19.carefully. He falls here and his racket hand, and for the rest of

:04:19. > :04:25.the match, he had a lot of problems. He was very upset afterwards. He

:04:25. > :04:31.felt that something broke. We don't know what the latest is. He has

:04:31. > :04:37.gone back to France to get X-rays and to see his doctors. He says he

:04:37. > :04:40.is keeping his fingers crossed! But apparently was devastated last

:04:40. > :04:47.night because he felt his Wimbledon was over.

:04:47. > :04:52.Warm up tournaments are important before Wimbledon. But the main

:04:52. > :04:58.event is the Grand Slam, Wimbledon. If he is out of that, it will be

:04:58. > :05:03.sad. He is a huge fracked. The biggest resort for a tournament

:05:03. > :05:11.like this is to get out of it healthy. Especially a guy like

:05:11. > :05:14.Tsonga, he may enjoy grass more than anybody. He is great. He

:05:14. > :05:21.always has been. Look at his results when he was playing

:05:21. > :05:26.challengers. He likes to play on grass. That would be devastating.

:05:26. > :05:36.And he was in form. He had a great French Open. He should have beaten

:05:36. > :05:39.Djokovic. So devastating for him. A what can you do? It was the

:05:40. > :05:44.slippery conditions. It was a freak accident. Hopefully it will not be

:05:44. > :05:49.as bad as he things. Hopefully we will have some good news today.

:05:49. > :05:53.We will let you know when we have some news. We are going straight

:05:53. > :06:01.out. The sun is shining at the moment, although there are clouds

:06:01. > :06:06.moving in. It is the third set between Lu and Tipsarevic. This

:06:06. > :06:10.match was suspended because of rain yesterday. That is the situation.

:06:10. > :06:18.John Lloyd will be scurrying to the commentary box. But waiting for us

:06:18. > :06:28.commentary box. But waiting for us Good afternoon, everybody. It could

:06:28. > :06:33.

:06:33. > :06:39.be a busy day for this man. He is The winner of this match will play

:06:39. > :06:44.their quarter-final later on. Tipsarevic has to head out to

:06:44. > :06:49.partner Zimonjic she for his doubles. He has hardly stopped

:06:49. > :06:59.since his arrival in London. He had a visa problem. He did not arrive

:06:59. > :07:17.

:07:17. > :07:22.He has played some excellent shots since the resumption. We had a

:07:22. > :07:32.break of about an hour. The winner of this match will play the tall

:07:32. > :07:47.

:07:47. > :07:54.Guy there in the grade top, Cilic Both men have had break points in

:07:54. > :08:00.this set, but it is going with serve. It is another close match.

:08:00. > :08:08.We have had many of them this week. Probably the best chance, John, For

:08:08. > :08:13.Tipsarevic. The good part for this match is

:08:13. > :08:17.that both the players are playing their best tennis in the third set.

:08:17. > :08:22.Yesterday, Tipsarevic was not at the races. He was out of sorts. The

:08:22. > :08:28.weather was bad. It was late at night. His attitude was not good.

:08:28. > :08:36.He was lucky there was a rain delay. He came out this morning and Lu was

:08:36. > :08:40.up a set and he played a terrible set. Mentally, he seems to be

:08:40. > :08:43.frustrated with the conditions and did not play well. Now looks like

:08:43. > :08:52.the third said they are both playing close to their best. It is

:08:52. > :09:00.a good third set. A big opportunity for both of them.

:09:00. > :09:10.Absolutely. This man knows how to win games on grass. He beat Andy

:09:10. > :09:13.

:09:13. > :09:23.It was an incredible performance he put in there.

:09:23. > :09:36.

:09:36. > :09:46.Last year he beat a couple of seats Oh, yes. A wrong-footing forehand

:09:46. > :09:51.

:09:51. > :10:01.from Tipsarevic. That is the You could just see the force there.

:10:01. > :10:37.

:10:37. > :10:43.The ball was behind him. A Oh, goodness me. That was a strange

:10:43. > :10:48.shot. Don't know what he was thinking. He missed it by miles. I

:10:48. > :10:58.think he changed his mind. He saw where Tipsarevic was moving and he

:10:58. > :11:12.

:11:12. > :11:22.That is the way to react. He is not a big server, but that was

:11:22. > :11:44.

:11:44. > :11:54.I tell you what, there are a couple of nerve before hands -- nervy

:11:54. > :11:54.

:11:54. > :15:18.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:15:18. > :15:28.He has 11 aces for the match. Seven Thought he had that, and I think he

:15:28. > :15:53.

:15:53. > :16:02.did as well. He knew where he Are we heading for another deciding

:16:02. > :16:07.tie-break? The deciding set continues to go with serve. Had a

:16:07. > :16:15.big second half of the year last year, Janko Tipsarevic. A couple of

:16:15. > :16:24.titles on the hard courts. Made it to the well tour finals. -- World

:16:24. > :16:29.Tour. After many years as a touring professional down the rankings, 40,

:16:29. > :16:33.50 in the world, he is loving life now in the top 10.

:16:33. > :16:39.Amazing that he suddenly made that jump after all those years around

:16:39. > :16:43.the '30s and 40s. A tournament win and then the confidence comes in.

:16:43. > :16:50.You think you can beat anybody, and since then his record has been

:16:51. > :16:56.wonderful. He is a top-class player now. He is a threat to anybody.

:16:56. > :17:06.Just as Novak Djokavic was inspired by the Davis Cup win for Serbia in

:17:06. > :17:18.

:18:01. > :18:41.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:18:41. > :18:46.And another one. No surprise now in what could be the final game that

:18:46. > :18:51.Tipsarevic is favouring that wing. That was a dangerous shot to go for

:18:51. > :18:55.at that stage of the match. He was pushed out wide and the wind is

:18:55. > :19:05.difficult, and then to go for a clean winner from that deep was a

:19:05. > :19:05.

:19:05. > :20:02.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:20:02. > :20:10.tough shot to make. Now he is in That is three excellence serves in

:22:52. > :22:59.circumstances. Not sure if he saw Tipsarevic slipping a bit and took

:22:59. > :23:03.his eye off the ball. You can just see the slip. He had an open court,

:23:03. > :23:13.there was no way Tipsarevic was going to get close to the ball. He

:23:13. > :23:13.

:25:25. > :25:29.

:25:29. > :25:39.the line, and you don't want to What a recovery from Lu. He beat

:25:39. > :26:13.

:26:13. > :26:17.Andy Murray at the Olympic Games in Oh, that was so unlucky. Lu played

:26:17. > :26:27.such a good point here. He is so aggressive and he looks like he is

:26:27. > :27:02.

:27:02. > :27:06.going to win the point. Then the What a volley! This was outstanding.

:27:06. > :27:11.The approach shot was really not that good. He gave Lu enough time

:27:11. > :27:21.to put it forward, but then, what a volley. He just behalf it. A

:27:21. > :27:21.

:27:21. > :28:02.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:28:02. > :28:12.delicate touch. An unbelievable He had that one lined up. He was

:28:12. > :28:29.

:28:29. > :28:36.quite a way off the court. Just Oh, it was right on the line!

:28:37. > :28:43.Tipsarevic is going to challenge. Why not? This could be match point.

:28:43. > :28:53.It was an extraordinary angle on that ball. This is right on the

:28:53. > :29:17.

:29:17. > :29:20.line. What a shot. Wow. Take a look He has done it! And he got a good

:29:20. > :29:30.hit on the return of the first serve as well, which she has not

:29:30. > :29:38.

:29:38. > :29:48.been able to do all match. And the Award well played, Yen-Hsun Lu,

:29:48. > :30:02.

:30:02. > :30:10.from 3-0 down in the deciding tie- Another big grass-court stout for

:30:10. > :30:20.this month. -- for this man. We may well see him do some damage at

:30:20. > :30:23.

:30:23. > :30:33.Wimbledon. It is Lu who comes through, beat Roddick at Wimbledon.

:30:33. > :30:34.

:30:34. > :30:39.Good to see somebody stepping in, This is the final point, that is

:30:39. > :30:49.the return that does it. I don't think Tipsarevic was expecting that

:30:49. > :30:52.

:30:52. > :31:02.We will see him later on this afternoon, he will be back to play

:31:02. > :31:17.

:31:17. > :31:27.in the quarter-finals again does -- for the title, the highest seed

:31:27. > :31:35.

:31:35. > :31:42.against David Nalbandian, a finalist at Wimbledon 10 years ago.

:31:42. > :31:52.That is how he took the opening set. David Nalbandian is another of the

:31:52. > :31:53.

:31:53. > :31:58.At the moment he is a break down again, it looks like another big

:31:58. > :32:03.name going out the championship. I think the tournament organisers did

:32:03. > :32:09.want to see another third-set tie- breaker. The opponents are just

:32:09. > :32:12.taking their chances. Lu summed it up, howl aggressive he

:32:12. > :32:16.was in the tie-break, he went for broke and made it, it is

:32:16. > :32:21.unbelievable. A very good player, he showed his

:32:21. > :32:26.pedigree at Wimbledon on the grass a couple of years ago. It is

:32:26. > :32:34.surprising he hasn't had more good results over the years. Perhaps

:32:34. > :32:37.just lacking a bit of self belief. He certainly moves well. Maybe it

:32:37. > :32:44.is his weaker to break through. That is what it is all about, at

:32:44. > :32:48.this change from clay to grass, and goes to cope with the better.

:32:48. > :32:53.Absolutely. Lu was very comfortable, his foot work, he has played well

:32:53. > :32:56.on grass before, he has beaten Roddick, a tough draw again,

:32:56. > :33:00.Tipsarevic who only got here and she stayed so didn't have as much

:33:00. > :33:06.practice as he would normally have on grass. He came up against

:33:06. > :33:12.somebody he played out of his mind. I think this is the very first

:33:12. > :33:15.quarter-final appearance for Lu in his career. How is that possible?

:33:15. > :33:20.Didn't he reached the quarter- finals at Wimbledon?

:33:20. > :33:30.Other than Wimbledon. Other than that!

:33:30. > :33:37.

:33:37. > :33:42.He beat Roddick 9-7 in the 5th, I But still, it's very good it is the

:33:42. > :33:48.second quarter final for him on the world tour. You have got to take

:33:48. > :33:58.your chances. We have got a young man coming up now, absolutely

:33:58. > :34:04.terrific yesterday, against Dimitrov yesterday, such a great

:34:04. > :34:09.talent. Great to watch, touted as the star since he was 12 years old.

:34:09. > :34:13.He didn't make the improvement perhaps people were expecting.

:34:13. > :34:18.Perhaps people were expecting the top 10 player in two years. He has

:34:18. > :34:23.gradually been rising up the rankings. Maybe this is the

:34:23. > :34:30.tournament. He has got every shot in the book, mentally seems to be a

:34:30. > :34:35.lot tougher. He is exciting to watch.

:34:35. > :34:42.I think this surface is really good for him. Almost perfect, to break

:34:42. > :34:51.through, because there is a real benefit to being a smasher, as he

:34:51. > :34:57.certainly is. He hits winners. Perhaps not quite a premium put on

:34:57. > :35:03.being consistent, and that is part of his game that needs a little

:35:03. > :35:09.work. Kevin Anderson has won the toss, he

:35:09. > :35:16.will serve first. This man has beaten, Dimitrov, he has beaten

:35:16. > :35:20.Gilles Muller, he has been up against a big server. A couple of

:35:20. > :35:27.big serves against him. No question. This will be an

:35:27. > :35:32.interesting test. Kevin Anderson, a solid pro. Very rarely puts in a

:35:32. > :35:38.poor performance. A big serve, obviously, a huge guy, moves pretty

:35:38. > :35:43.well for somebody of his height. Dimitrov will have to go for the

:35:43. > :35:53.ball. He will not get an easy time here. It will be an interesting

:35:53. > :35:55.

:35:55. > :36:05.He has made huge strides in the last year and a half.

:36:05. > :36:08.

:36:08. > :36:12.He is nearly as tall as John is no, much lighter build. -- Isner. It

:36:12. > :36:16.has only been in the last year-and- a-half, since he broke through to

:36:16. > :36:22.the top 40, but seems comfortable. To see him here in the quarter-

:36:22. > :36:28.finals, not huge surprise. I like the way he plays. He doesn't come

:36:28. > :36:33.into the net perhaps as much as you might have thought. He will like

:36:33. > :36:37.the fact that court is so much drier than the last time we saw him,

:36:37. > :36:42.it was very slippery. Let's hope it stays dry throughout

:36:42. > :36:49.the afternoon. Up against the 21- year-old, a regular visitor to the

:36:49. > :36:53.Queen's Club and after his victory yesterday against Nicolas Mahut he

:36:53. > :36:57.spoke to John Inverdale. This must be a tournament you enjoy

:36:57. > :37:04.playing because you were given an opportunity as a wildcard, very

:37:04. > :37:14.young, and that creates a bon. Always. I just saw the tournament

:37:14. > :37:21.director and said I promised him, and I enjoy it the court, they are

:37:21. > :37:26.the best grass courts ever, everybody enjoys the tournament. It

:37:26. > :37:31.is a great preparation before Wimbledon. Great if you can get a

:37:31. > :37:38.couple of matches under your belt and play your game. I am always

:37:38. > :37:47.pleased to be here. He promised to win it one day.

:37:47. > :37:53.Yes! How long will you have to wait? Had the scene. -- hopefully

:37:53. > :37:57.soon. You are establishing yourself now,

:37:58. > :38:07.but it has been hard. He did automatically get a wildcard

:38:08. > :38:08.

:38:08. > :38:12.everywhere. -- you do not. Not right away, so you have got to

:38:12. > :38:19.go at it step-by-step. So many tournaments you have got to play,

:38:19. > :38:28.challengers, you find the right path and know what is good for you.

:38:28. > :38:34.All these things, you can make an error sometimes and that is what

:38:35. > :38:43.happened with me, a couple of bad decisions when I was trying to get

:38:43. > :38:52.in the top 100, you have got to take everything step-by-step.

:38:52. > :38:57.Certainly made some good decisions. Some good results. Some good young

:38:57. > :39:04.stars emerging. He is definitely up there.

:39:04. > :39:09.He doesn't have the looks, charisma, horrible backhand! He has got it

:39:09. > :39:12.all. He has done well in the challengers, had to work his way up,

:39:12. > :39:15.came out at the beginning and it looked like it would happen

:39:15. > :39:22.overnight. Work his way through, and will be a better player for

:39:22. > :39:30.that. He has had to work hard for that, and he belongs here and such

:39:30. > :39:34.an exciting talent. He did a great job in hiring

:39:34. > :39:39.McNamara, he did a great service to him because he was struggling. He

:39:39. > :39:44.didn't win any matches. He just said, you're going to work, you are

:39:44. > :39:50.going to play futures and challengers, get out there and put

:39:50. > :39:54.in the work. At the end of last year.

:39:54. > :40:04.You can only hear the same thing so many times.

:40:04. > :40:12.

:40:12. > :40:19.A lot of people change. This is This surface will suit him and

:40:19. > :40:27.nobody will want to play this man at Wimbledon either. He is a great

:40:27. > :40:32.worker. Tipsarevic, ranked in the 30s and 40s, now top 10. It can

:40:32. > :40:42.happen, you can have a break through year. One heck of a player.

:40:42. > :40:42.

:40:42. > :40:47.You always talk about the serve Anderson is serve and ground stroke,

:28:28. > :28:38.people are heading out, they still haven't got the covers over.

:28:38. > :28:46.

:28:46. > :28:55.because now this match has been Well, everybody is trying to

:28:55. > :28:59.scramble oars, -- out, even the people behind me. It really did

:28:59. > :29:07.come down quite heavy. Everybody is scrambling, including the players.

:29:07. > :29:11.It is what we expected. This is the week it is going to be. Yes, it is!

:29:11. > :29:16.I like the way the spectators, it was slightly drizzling and they

:29:16. > :29:21.sprinted. It was like a new the forecast. It is miserable. But what

:29:21. > :29:25.can you do? You can't fault Kevin Anderson.

:29:25. > :29:31.What a great start. He is in the driving seat. Right the way through

:29:32. > :29:38.the set, he was putting pressure on Dimitrov's serve. It looked like he

:29:39. > :29:44.handled the wind better than Dimitrov. Think how tortillas --

:29:44. > :29:48.how tall he is, but I thought he was quite solid. He was not

:29:48. > :29:57.Conservative, but he did not make any big mistakes. He deserves to be

:29:57. > :30:00.up at the moment for start it is such an even now, isn't it.

:30:00. > :30:06.-- at the moment. It really evens them out, doesn't

:30:06. > :30:11.You look at the size and you think he is a serve and first shot kind

:30:11. > :30:16.of guy. But he is more than that. He is break compact on his ground

:30:16. > :30:24.strokes. He moves well for a big man. He is a solid competitor. He

:30:24. > :30:34.is very even. There's not much emotion. I don't mean that

:30:34. > :30:34.

:30:34. > :30:41.negatively. He just get on with We're hoping to get players back on

:30:41. > :30:44.court soon. Burr they have stopped playing on court No 1 as well,

:30:44. > :30:50.between Nalbandian and Roger- Vasselin. And we have more

:30:50. > :30:58.information about the racquet abuse, but it was on Nalbandian, who was

:30:58. > :31:04.given a second racquet abuse warning, but not a penalty. That is

:31:04. > :31:14.what Edouard Roger-Vasselin was cam plaining about. This is Nalbandian

:31:14. > :31:16.

:31:16. > :31:22.two up, with Edouard Roger-Vasselin serving. But Nalbandian is a tough

:31:22. > :31:27.competitor and experience counts for a lot. You play on court No 1.

:31:27. > :31:32.It is a good court, but it is not the same as the centre court. You

:31:32. > :31:37.thought, conditions not great, but he has come back well. If

:31:37. > :31:42.Nalbandian gets through, he will fancy his chances. He has the grass

:31:42. > :31:47.court pedigree and he has trained hard and lost weight and he is at

:31:47. > :31:53.the latter stages of his career and he wants to get it back.

:31:53. > :31:57.producing shots like that, wow! That is why we has done so well.

:31:57. > :32:02.This is when the heavy rain came down. They stayed on court longer,

:32:03. > :32:08.but that rain came and Nalbandian just wanted to finish this one off.

:32:08. > :32:15.He is 5-2 up and wants to be through to the quarter-finals. This

:32:15. > :32:25.is when they decide we have got to get off. Off they go and it is 5-to

:32:25. > :32:30.

:32:30. > :32:37.Nalbandian and 1-all in that game. Peter's joined us, you had too

:32:37. > :32:40.fight your way through. Nice to be back. It is a jungle out there!

:32:40. > :32:46.wondered if you would get caught in the cross fire. Everyone was

:32:46. > :32:51.charging for the exits. It took them five minutes to feted out. --

:32:51. > :32:56.get out. Good thing there can't be a fire there. I'm sure they were

:32:56. > :33:00.getting thirsty. We were talking about Nalbandian and what an

:33:00. > :33:05.experienced campaigner he is and how difficult he is to beat. But he

:33:05. > :33:10.looks to be, he has had problems with injuries, but he looks to be

:33:10. > :33:14.fit and healthy. I think he is. He returns serve so well and of course

:33:14. > :33:20.the return may be the most important shot on this surface. So

:33:20. > :33:25.he is a danger man. I'm not sure if he has played enough, if he is fit

:33:25. > :33:31.enough to challenge the very best players. But all the best players

:33:31. > :33:37.are gone this week. So he is a threat here. At the age of 30 it

:33:37. > :33:44.was ten years ago that he was in the Wimbledon final. Yes but now 30

:33:44. > :33:51.is nothing in tennis. You look at the recent French tournament, they

:33:51. > :33:57.were saying the over 27s, there is a tremendous amount. 30 is the new

:33:57. > :34:00.16! Back in our era, we didn't travel with many people like they

:34:01. > :34:05.do today. A lot of the players travel with their coaches, their

:34:05. > :34:12.family and friends and John Inverdale caught up with one of the

:34:12. > :34:17.family, Kevin Anderson's mother, Barbara and spoke to her yesterday.

:34:17. > :34:22.We spent so much time talking to parents when they're children are

:34:22. > :34:28.16 and 17 and ten years on, they're still on the tour and we never talk

:34:28. > :34:33.to the parents, but you're still following them week-by-week?

:34:33. > :34:39.the pressure now, well not pressure, I don't like to use that word, but

:34:39. > :34:45.the intensity is the same as when they were under 10. I feel the same

:34:45. > :34:50.emotion that I did when he was under 12 and under 14 and 16 and 18

:34:50. > :34:55.and through to the challenges, we went through it all. Now we're

:34:55. > :35:01.taking a back seat and watch on TV when it is on in South Africa,

:35:01. > :35:06.which it isn't often, except in the big tournaments. But not the sort

:35:06. > :35:13.of, this one is on TV at home. So my husband is at home. Let's hope

:35:13. > :35:21.he cease it. The internet must be a God send for you. But you probablyy

:35:21. > :35:27.match, can't you? No I don't watch. When it is not on TV, I go for a

:35:27. > :35:32.walk at the school and I walk at the school, because my nerves can't

:35:32. > :35:38.take it. Does he ring you after every game? Yes the minute the

:35:38. > :35:43.match is finished,, I get a message. I walk with my cell phone in my

:35:43. > :35:47.pocket and I wait to get the buzzer and then oh praise God, which ever

:35:47. > :35:52.it is, win or lose. Just happy he is well and enjoying himself and

:35:52. > :35:59.doing what he does. When you're accessing that message, do you

:35:59. > :36:06.almost put your finger of it to see if it is a W or L for within or

:36:06. > :36:12.lost? No he says, hi mum, I won or, we make it the winning and losing

:36:12. > :36:18.isn't the most important. It is... Staying healthy and giveing of your

:36:18. > :36:23.best. More than that you can't do. When you watch a match with two

:36:23. > :36:33.nerve-shredding tie-breaks, how is it for you? It's horrible. It is

:36:33. > :36:37.like or the mepbts. You want to -- torment. You want to... But you

:36:37. > :36:41.can't. In this match it was anybody's game. How much do you

:36:41. > :36:46.think he appreciates that you're here? It is rare when you are?

:36:46. > :36:51.we only come to Queens and to Wimbledon. We don't travel to the

:36:51. > :36:59.other tournaments. I think he likes it. I love being here with him and

:36:59. > :37:02.just doing his washing and... you're a mum you're always a mum.

:37:02. > :37:07.Caring after him and making him breakfast, all the stupid things

:37:07. > :37:11.that I haven't done for seven years, because he has left home. Well

:37:11. > :37:19.lovely to talk to you and another match to watch tomorrow. Yes isn't

:37:19. > :37:24.that nice. I will be here tomorrow! And she was courtside today and no

:37:24. > :37:29.doubt he is getting some dry kit on and there will be more washing for

:37:29. > :37:33.mum tomorrow. I think everyone puts parents through it. We all did.

:37:33. > :37:40.thought we got it done at the tournament, I didn't think parents

:37:40. > :37:45.had to do the laundry. Maybe. the top players will get new kit

:37:45. > :37:51.almost every match. All the players on the show courts rip open the new

:37:51. > :37:57.wrapper and straight on. Hated wearing new shirts. I always had to

:37:57. > :38:07.wash it once so it wasn't stiff. You didn't do it though. I don't

:38:07. > :38:07.

:38:07. > :38:12.know, somebody did. You paid the laupbt Rett - launderette. How

:38:12. > :38:18.times have changed. And the good news, because although that was the

:38:18. > :38:23.heavy rain, Graham Kimton, who is talking to Jim Moore the tournament

:38:23. > :38:28.referee, he chose not to put the covers on. A lot of rain has been

:38:28. > :38:32.on the court F you pan out, you can see they're sweeping off some of

:38:32. > :38:36.the rain off the back of the court and around and that will help and

:38:36. > :38:41.the wind will certainly help. Because that is going to help it

:38:41. > :38:48.dry. So I don't it will be too long from our experience of grass courts.

:38:48. > :38:52.It could be ten or 15 minutes hopefully. That is how they're

:38:52. > :38:55.moving the moisture off. They will do that right the way over the

:38:55. > :39:02.court and Graham and Jim will decide the court is fit enough.

:39:02. > :39:05.Everyone is keen to get the players back, the players are keen to get

:39:05. > :39:10.back on. Yes rain delays are horrific for players. You don't

:39:10. > :39:16.know when to eat. You don't know Prenn to prepare for your next

:39:16. > :39:20.match. It is hard. Let's not cry for these guys, but it is one of

:39:20. > :39:24.the more difficult scenarios they have to face. It is difficult with

:39:24. > :39:28.Wimbledon looming that you don't want to g on a court that is not

:39:29. > :39:33.fit. Because you don't want to get an injury, as we saw with Tsonga

:39:33. > :39:39.yesterday and some players sliding around. Yes and on grass, you only

:39:39. > :39:44.have to have a few drops and it can become treacherous. But they're

:39:44. > :39:49.good here and they won't put the players on unless they're sure it

:39:49. > :39:56.will be OK. They have done it so many times. These courts are

:39:56. > :40:01.amazing how quickly they dry. I didn't know they brushed the court

:40:01. > :40:11.on grass. You play golf, they come out and do the greens and makes it

:40:11. > :40:17.drier. The moisture settles down under the grass. Dimintrov had a

:40:17. > :40:20.number of tumbles in his match. So he is not going to enjoy the fact

:40:21. > :40:25.the court will be wetter. Here are some of the shots from yesterday.

:40:25. > :40:31.This is not what you want to see. He has already had a couple of

:40:31. > :40:35.tumbles in this match. The court is probably drier today, or was drier

:40:35. > :40:40.before the rain than it was yesterday. It will be interesting

:40:40. > :40:45.to see how long they wait before the players go back. Will they wait

:40:46. > :40:53.until it is bone dry as it was when they started, or will it be a

:40:53. > :40:58.little damp? We will see. Just about to make an announcement!

:40:58. > :41:02.will have another look in 10 minutes. The referee has had a look

:41:02. > :41:10.and he will have another look in 10 minutes. Jim is not happy and he is

:41:10. > :41:14.going to come out and make about a -- an assessment in ten minute.

:41:14. > :41:20.Earlier in the week Andy Roddick went out. Disappointment, but he

:41:20. > :41:25.had a match point in his match and had his chances. This was the match

:41:25. > :41:31.point he had against Roger-Vasselin. We thought he is not playing great.

:41:31. > :41:37.But he would get through and he didn't and he hasn't won a match

:41:37. > :41:42.for months. It has not worked. This is the match point where he went

:41:42. > :41:50.is the match point where he went out. The Frenchman, he said one of

:41:50. > :41:56.his biggest victories of his career. Edouard Roger-Vasselin, his father

:41:56. > :42:05.got to semi-finals of the French Open. There is his dad and a big

:42:05. > :42:09.scam, any -- Andy Roddick. There has been talk about any Roddick

:42:09. > :42:16.possibly retiring. I'm sure is not a question he does enjoy answering,

:42:16. > :42:20.a question he does enjoy answering, but he had to answer it here.

:42:20. > :42:27.don't worry about after tennis. I have great friend at home. My

:42:27. > :42:32.social life isn't out here. It is... More important to me at home. I

:42:32. > :42:39.have a lot of different interests and I don't fear kind of the life

:42:39. > :42:44.aspeblgt of tennis. -- aspect of tennis. I enjoy playing tennis and

:42:44. > :42:48.I enjoy the work still and being up at the track early and hitting with

:42:48. > :42:53.the guys and putting in the hours. I don't know that I enjoy the scene

:42:53. > :43:00.of tennis as much. I think that is backwards from a lot of people. I

:43:00. > :43:05.don't, I have thought about it and I don't worry about it. He is

:43:05. > :43:10.already doing a number of things, but every player worries about

:43:10. > :43:14.retire. It is something that has been a part of your life from an

:43:14. > :43:20.early age. That can be difficult. Financially a lot of top players

:43:20. > :43:26.don't have to worry. But they do have to worry about wanting to get

:43:26. > :43:31.up in the morning and at first they think it is great not to travel,

:43:31. > :43:41.but most miss it. Look how many say they will never flay seen yors

:43:41. > :43:49.circuit, but they do. But Andy Roddick has a radio show and he no

:43:49. > :43:53.problem in ajousting -- adjusting. You think there should be a course

:43:53. > :43:58.to say, get ready, this is coming up. Even a course would be

:43:58. > :44:02.difficult. Because we're all adrenaline junkies and we do become

:44:02. > :44:09.addicted almost to the attention and the excitement of winning and

:44:10. > :44:13.losing. It is a gambler's sort of environment. And so I don't know, I

:44:13. > :44:17.struggled a long time to come up with anything any near as

:44:17. > :44:25.stimulating. There were other things that were interesting, but

:44:25. > :44:31.nothing exciting and it is... It is rough. I think as tennis players,

:44:31. > :44:36.we don't look forward to. -- to that. I was like, oh I will think

:44:36. > :44:40.of something, it will be fine. a lot of people don't miss the

:44:40. > :44:44.travelling and the hotel rooms and it is nice to have a base. But the

:44:44. > :44:49.competition is something you can never replace in whatever you do.

:44:49. > :44:55.As Peter said, it is not the same thing. You miss that training. You

:44:55. > :44:59.think you won't, but you do. There is nothing like putting yourself

:44:59. > :45:07.under pressure and having the crowd. You can't copy that. It is

:45:07. > :45:12.sometimes that players struggle. But like Agassi, who has so many

:45:12. > :45:15.outside interests, Andy has so many interest and I think he will do

:45:15. > :45:20.commentating and probably play seniors stuff. Because its tough to

:45:20. > :45:24.give it in. But he is no saying he is going to retire. He could have a

:45:24. > :45:30.great Wimbledon and then we're talking about another two or three

:45:30. > :45:36.years. If he loves the training, then you know why would you want to

:45:36. > :45:40.stop? Because life is about just getting up and having something to

:45:40. > :45:47.look forward to. If he loves that side of it, a lot of guys don't and

:45:47. > :45:54.get tired of it. I think you know the time for him to retire will be

:45:54. > :45:59.when he can't handle losing. Just, I'm losing too much and it's not

:45:59. > :46:03.fun. Losen't isn't fun. If he wins a few, he will be back. Winning is

:46:03. > :46:09.lovely, as we all know. Talk of retirement, we're going to look

:46:09. > :46:13.back, you may have seen a documentary by England's former

:46:13. > :46:23.cricket captain Michael Vaughan called sporting heroes after the

:46:23. > :46:31.

:46:31. > :46:37.final whistle. One person he talked to was our John McEnroe. McEnroe

:46:37. > :46:45.wins three sets to love. You can't be serious man, you cannot be

:46:45. > :46:50.serious. That ball was on the line! Chalk flaw up. Can I take you back

:46:50. > :46:54.20 years. I didn't make the decision to retire. In a way I

:46:54. > :47:00.never formally retired. I didn't want the cry in front of the

:47:00. > :47:05.cameras, the way you did. In 1992, his marriage came Toon end.

:47:05. > :47:09.separated and -- came to an end. We separated and divorced. There was

:47:09. > :47:15.no decision to be made. I was overwhelmed by this personal issue

:47:15. > :47:21.and trying to take care of myself and my kids. I I had three kids. I

:47:21. > :47:30.stepped aside and took a step back and just never went back on the

:47:30. > :47:37.tour. In the nineties you went into music, how was that? The greatest

:47:37. > :47:43.perk as player, I got to have people like Carlos Santana trying

:47:43. > :47:50.to teach me to play guitar. When John remarried, it was to a

:47:50. > :47:54.musician, Patti Smith put an tond his musical ambitions. When our

:47:54. > :48:01.baby was to be born, it was look, if any of us is going to play music,

:48:01. > :48:05.it is me, not you. That ended that. But what it has done is actually

:48:05. > :48:10.made me appreciate my tennis more. Because the more I play guitar, the

:48:10. > :48:15.more I go, thank God I can play tennis. You have said I will never

:48:15. > :48:22.be a commentator, never play again. But never say never. I have done

:48:22. > :48:32.everything I said I wouldn't do! Why? Hopefully it I not just

:48:32. > :48:32.

:48:32. > :48:38.because it is the easiest thing. When I got into doing the

:48:38. > :48:41.commentary work, people were a bit taken aback, but hopefully

:48:41. > :48:46.pleasantly surprised that this guy knew what he was talking about and

:48:46. > :48:52.perhaps had a sense of humour. Some sports don't have a seniors or

:48:52. > :48:56.champions tour to go back to. The funny part is that I actually get

:48:56. > :49:02.rewarded for the behaviour that I was fined for. Now they want to see

:49:02. > :49:08.that. Call the score right. See if you can get right. You start with

:49:08. > :49:13.that right. Maybe it is pathetic in a way. But it is also funny and

:49:13. > :49:17.ironic the things that they were lambasteing me for are now the

:49:17. > :49:22.things they want to see. It is seen more appealing to get out there and

:49:22. > :49:28.see some friends, even some rivals, but in a different way. Is that

:49:28. > :49:32.what you love the competitive edge now or meeting friends and people?

:49:32. > :49:38.It is a combination. I have said this a hundred times, but it beats

:49:38. > :49:46.the hell out of working for a living. What about your mart? -

:49:46. > :49:51.what about your art? Is is a -- that is a serious thing. I'm a

:49:51. > :49:55.collector and dealer. I sell and show some things. Do you? I like to

:49:55. > :50:04.think so. But it is subjective and not like sport, where there is a

:50:04. > :50:14.winner or loser. You can win and seemingly lose. Welcome bg back to

:50:14. > :50:15.

:50:15. > :50:20.centre court, John McEnroe. -- welcoming. I spent time at the

:50:20. > :50:30.tennis academy and I want to get kids excite about the sport. That

:50:30. > :50:31.

:50:31. > :50:35.is my goal and open to suggestion! Well Peter you know him well. You

:50:35. > :50:45.played so many doubles with him. What was he like to play with. Who

:50:45. > :50:51.was the boss? He was the boss! I'm not stupid! You have somebody like

:50:51. > :50:57.that, you listen. He was a great partner to have. Off court we had a

:50:57. > :51:02.few rows that were... A struggle. But on court, you know he was just

:51:02. > :51:08.a real leader. Leaders are people that others want to follow. And you

:51:08. > :51:14.know, he was one of those guys, a commander who people would follow

:51:15. > :51:22.him over the top. He made his partners play better. And that is

:51:22. > :51:27.about the highest compliment you can pay a team player. He has done

:51:27. > :51:33.well, everything he has touched. It has been a dream retirement. He has

:51:38. > :51:43.please. But he got paid well. the odd mistake maybe. But his

:51:43. > :51:49.commentating is, I like working with him, because I never have to

:51:50. > :51:55.say anything! He can talk underwater. He think os -- he

:51:55. > :52:00.thinks of things a minute before the average person does. The great

:52:00. > :52:05.champions, in my view, just have an awareness of everything that is

:52:05. > :52:10.going on. He was the usher people call him, he could see the person

:52:10. > :52:14.walking by in the third promenade and was like, sit down! But they

:52:15. > :52:24.have a huge awareness. He bring there is a to the commentary. He

:52:25. > :52:25.

:52:25. > :52:29.sees everything. And as far as retirements go, we have seen Borg

:52:29. > :52:32.come back and do that and Sampras came back to Wimbledon and he was

:52:32. > :52:39.one of the ones that you were saying, he said I will never play

:52:39. > :52:45.the seen yors. I don't want to do that. -- seniors. He has changed

:52:45. > :52:51.his mind. Because it keeps him in shape and he has got more money

:52:51. > :52:57.than he can spend, his kids are going to school and he plays golf

:52:58. > :53:03.six times a week. Now, what do I do? He is training and plays 12

:53:03. > :53:07.tournaments a year. We as players, we live in a dream world and we

:53:07. > :53:11.have no idea what is going on outside of our bubble. So you know,

:53:11. > :53:16.John was saying, I think I have done everything I said I never

:53:16. > :53:21.would do and he did. He had a list... Pages long of I'm never

:53:21. > :53:27.going to do that. And he has done it all. Pete is the same. He said

:53:27. > :53:32.I'm not doing that and you get bored of just... OK I need

:53:32. > :53:36.stimulation and we try stuff that, well... We didn't think we would.

:53:36. > :53:41.lot of explayers go into commentary as we know. And to let you know

:53:41. > :53:51.that the players will be on the way in a moment. Somebody who went into

:53:51. > :53:53.

:53:53. > :54:02.something different was Yanick Noah. He was the headline in the stadium

:54:02. > :54:12.234 France. -- in France. He sells so many records. Some players don't

:54:12. > :54:12.

:54:12. > :54:15.come back. You don't see Villas. played the seniors for a while and

:54:15. > :54:21.he loved being at the French Open. I haven't seen him for a couple of

:54:21. > :54:30.years. I don't know what is going on. We saw him in London. He has a

:54:30. > :54:38.young family. So he is raising his kids. And John has an and Mey.

:54:38. > :54:45.Steffi Graf has one. -- academy. Now we welcome the players back.

:54:45. > :54:49.They will have a warm up. But the accused Meirs are being started and

:54:49. > :54:57.I was -- academies are being started. There is a lot of big

:54:57. > :55:02.names helping the youngsters. Chris's accused Meir is suck is

:55:02. > :55:09.Cescful -- accused Mee is successful. And if you can do that

:55:09. > :55:13.and give your wisdom to young players. How nice is that. Andre

:55:13. > :55:17.has his foundation in America. It is wonderful to see that. If they

:55:17. > :55:24.can do that and have something to get themselves going, that is the

:55:24. > :55:30.way to do it. Some have struggled, but some have been successful in

:55:30. > :55:34.their career. I saw Monica Seles in America and she was playing tennis

:55:34. > :55:43.and doing events. And she was practicing and the whole time I

:55:43. > :55:53.watched her, she didn't grunt! Not once. Good for her. Lost the grunt

:55:53. > :55:58.finally. As for as Mac's accused Mee is he hand's on. Yes he is out

:55:58. > :56:04.there with his clip board and he has 35 pros that are running, well

:56:04. > :56:11.working at his accused Mee and he is hands on. That -- academy and he

:56:11. > :56:17.is hands on. He doesn't enter into anything likely. If he does it, he

:56:17. > :56:24.want win and be good. He is out there a lot. So far I think he has

:56:24. > :56:28.got, I know he has one kid who plays, who got to the quaert finals

:56:29. > :56:36.in Paris. -- quarter-finals in Paris. You wouldn't argue with him,

:56:37. > :56:46.that is for sure. No. But here we are. Part two. We're back with

:56:46. > :56:51.Kevin Anderson and Grigor dim trofr. A five minute warm up. -- Dimintrov.

:56:51. > :56:56.There has been a lot of thinking for the 21-year-old Bulgarian.

:56:56. > :57:04.is a tough match. I thought Kevin Anderson, he handled the wind well.

:57:04. > :57:10.Yes. But he has been solid. He has, his serving has been good. That has

:57:10. > :57:14.really aided him a lot. He has handled it better than dim prove.

:57:14. > :57:19.But the Bulgarian has a chance to go into the locker room and get his

:57:19. > :57:24.thoughts together and I think that we might see a different player.

:57:24. > :57:30.has to try and do something on the serve. Almost every service game he

:57:30. > :57:36.was getting challenged. He must get some cheap points and some quick

:57:36. > :57:40.game games on the serve. Kevin Anderson has a good return of serve.

:57:40. > :57:49.Very compact and very solid off both wings and he was the one that

:57:49. > :57:58.was struggling on his serve and the his opponent was solid. We saw

:57:58. > :58:08.Dimintrov throw in errors at bad times. Dim prove, it was a a tight

:58:08. > :58:10.

:58:10. > :58:14.match and I think he just, he has just a little lose. As we have seen,

:58:14. > :58:18.trying to break through from juniors into the seniors, with the

:58:18. > :58:23.physicalty that the likes of Novak Djokovic and Federer and Murray

:58:23. > :58:27.have put up, it is not easy to break through. And it is tough to

:58:27. > :58:33.put young bodies, it is a different balance between getting them fit

:58:33. > :58:39.and pushing them too much, too young. Yes and you have to find a

:58:39. > :58:47.balance and be able to push them as hard as their bodies will be pushed,

:58:47. > :58:52.but also take the pressure off a bit and say, you know, the days of

:58:52. > :58:58.Boris Becker and Borg and Chang coming through and winning majors,

:58:58. > :59:04.perhaps are over. So patience and just relax and things will happen.

:59:04. > :59:13.So we will see more like Kevin Anderson, coming through mid 20s.

:59:13. > :59:17.Moving up and he is, he has gone from 70 up to 30. And on his way up.

:59:17. > :59:24.It can take a long time. But there is a lot of good players United

:59:24. > :59:29.there and to break through is tough. -- out there. Well we're almost

:59:29. > :59:38.ready to go on centre court and almost ready on court No 1 as well.

:59:38. > :59:43.There is Nalbandian and Roger- Vasselin and 5-2 up David

:59:43. > :59:48.Nalbandian. Three points from a place in the quarter-finals. We

:59:48. > :59:54.will keep you updated with that match. Now back to centre court and

:59:54. > :00:04.Peter is on his way to the commentary box and we rejoin Andrew.

:00:04. > :00:19.

:00:19. > :00:26.ANDREW CASTLE: Sends him over, it Just under 7,000, the capacity. A

:00:26. > :00:34.lot of university students take that position for a summer job.

:00:34. > :00:40.They are all in position. Being students, it is probably the

:00:40. > :00:46.hardest work they do all year. If you are doing student things like

:00:46. > :00:54.taking exams, I am really sorry about that. Hanging there, I am

:00:54. > :01:00.sure they will be over soon. -- hang in there. Kevin Anderson spent

:01:00. > :01:09.three years at university, choosing that route. He was heading to the

:01:09. > :01:14.professional ranks. He was on one of the better tennis programmes. He

:01:14. > :01:19.did not win the singles title. But he won the doubles title. All his

:01:19. > :01:26.success came in 2006, 2007, and then he turned professional.

:01:26. > :01:31.I think they won the team title as well and he was there.

:01:31. > :01:35.Because he is so began wiry, he had two or three years of physical work

:01:35. > :01:40.that he had to do. It's hard to do that when you are on the road 30

:01:40. > :01:46.weeks of the year. The playing season in terms of competing in the

:01:46. > :01:52.US college system is a lot shorter than that, around about January to

:01:52. > :01:58.May. They play a lot of July matches, one team against another.

:01:59. > :02:06.It is not like being a pro and being on the road. It is tough to

:02:07. > :02:14.get a real structure going. And you are in 18. That always brings

:02:14. > :02:24.energy with it. -- in a team. Yeah, and they will train harder in

:02:24. > :02:27.

:02:27. > :02:37.the off season than in the regular Let's see if Dimitrov can, well, if

:02:37. > :02:37.

:02:37. > :03:26.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:03:26. > :03:31.That was strong. I think it has been this part of the game that

:03:31. > :03:36.Anderson has just been a bit stronger. Both players are on the

:03:36. > :03:46.baseline. The South African has just hit more penetrating ground

:03:46. > :03:57.

:03:57. > :04:03.If Dimitrov is to make the jump up into the next level, it is that

:04:03. > :04:13.shot, be chip backhand return of serve that needs to become a bit

:04:13. > :04:40.

:04:40. > :04:48.This is a good time for Anderson to attack. He had the momentum before

:04:48. > :04:58.the rain came. He held his opening service game. He was on the up. He

:04:58. > :05:03.

:05:03. > :05:10.has got something going in this Lovely chap. John Inverdale was

:05:10. > :05:20.with his mum, Barbara. He always texts his mum after his matches,

:05:20. > :05:24.

:05:24. > :05:34.It is desperately nerve wracking to watch your kid do anything, isn't

:05:34. > :05:48.

:05:48. > :05:52.Especially if you do something like It is one thing being a six footer

:05:52. > :06:02.like Dimitrov and having a bit of a slip and a slide, but it Anderson

:06:02. > :06:24.

:06:25. > :06:30.That is called saving a seat. That massive we go handbag. That is what

:06:30. > :06:40.to love, coming here on the tube. No seats available and somebody has

:06:40. > :06:47.

:06:47. > :06:55.put their shopping on the seat. Do you see? Somebody has said,

:06:55. > :07:01.excuse me, are you taking this seat? I would not ask. That is

:07:01. > :07:11.breaking the rule. You can't make eye contact at all. What would you

:07:11. > :07:11.

:07:11. > :08:26.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:08:26. > :08:30.Nicely played. The first serve Dimitrov just can't seem to put

:08:30. > :08:40.Anderson on the defensive. He is always the one scrambling around

:08:40. > :08:41.

:08:41. > :08:49.the baseline. Anderson, like a great squash player, again, he is

:08:49. > :08:58.just... He has staked out his claim. If you are dictating, you are

:08:58. > :09:08.likely to win and you are going to make your opponent more tired.

:09:08. > :09:16.

:09:16. > :09:23.Anderson he -- Anderson is hitting That was the shot that needed some

:09:23. > :09:32.work. Roger Federer, a great exponent of the tip -- chip

:09:32. > :09:42.backhand return. If Dimitrov wants to rise to that level, he needs to

:09:42. > :10:00.

:10:00. > :10:05.Comparisons with Federer come easily for Grigor Dimitrov. He

:10:05. > :10:15.jumps up and down, he uses the same racket, which is a lovely implement.

:10:15. > :10:29.

:10:29. > :10:39.He spins it. What, spend, spend, No doubt he has modelled his

:10:39. > :11:10.

:11:10. > :11:20.Bjorn Borg was practising, he was in the park, people were watching,

:11:20. > :11:24.

:11:24. > :11:34.going, who is this guy? They didn't They probably said he would not be

:12:45. > :12:55.Big-serving and doesn't still hasn't lost his serve. -- big-

:12:55. > :13:07.

:13:07. > :13:12.SUE BARKER: On Court One, David Nalbandian with match point. That

:13:12. > :13:18.was out and he is through to the last eight. Formal Wimbledon

:13:18. > :13:23.finalist, former world No. 3. Now 30 years of age, making his way

:13:23. > :13:28.back. He is through to the quarter- finals against Edouard Roger-

:13:28. > :13:32.Vasselin, who is still unhappy with what happened. He felt is a pony

:13:32. > :13:39.should have been given a penalty for a second racket abuse warning.

:13:39. > :13:44.-- he felt his opponent. The result stands and it is Nalbandian who is

:13:44. > :13:54.through to face Xavier Malisse. That will be this afternoon,

:13:54. > :14:01.

:14:01. > :14:11.weather permitting. Back we go to ANDREW CASTLE: Yen-Hsun Lu beat

:14:11. > :14:12.

:14:12. > :14:22.Janko Tipsarevic earlier on. It was a fine victory. That was the third

:14:22. > :14:23.

:14:23. > :14:33.seed at this tournament going out. So, Yen-Hsun Lu in action later on.

:14:33. > :14:47.

:14:47. > :14:53.It is Malisse versus Nalbandian in Lu will play Marin Cilic. Cilic is

:14:53. > :15:03.somebody we haven't talked about enough. Only 23 years of age. A

:15:03. > :15:12.

:15:12. > :15:16.former semi-finalist at Grand Slam I have to tell you that the

:15:16. > :15:23.umbrellas are coming up again and people are reaching for their

:15:23. > :15:33.anoraks. Certainly Dimitrov is moving to the chair. Mohammed has

:15:33. > :15:38.

:15:38. > :15:42.that resigned look. There it is, a real shame. It is turning into a

:15:42. > :15:52.testing tournament. A testing day, testing tournament. A testing day,

:15:52. > :15:54.

:15:54. > :16:04.certainly. It is difficult for all concerned. The bartenders! Indeed.

:16:04. > :16:09.Well, they will be working hard now. It is difficult is keep on getting

:16:09. > :16:13.ready, because there's a lot to play for air. It is a more

:16:13. > :16:18.important title than the prize money with just. This tournament

:16:18. > :16:24.has got a heritage that is bigger than its position.

:16:24. > :16:27.That is a good point. It is also important because it is a means to

:16:27. > :16:33.win more matches, to play more matches prior to perhaps the most

:16:33. > :16:38.important tournament of the year. Guys come into this event and take

:16:38. > :16:43.it very seriously, more seriously, in fact, than most of the other's

:16:43. > :16:48.at this level. We have been enjoying the clay-court season up

:16:48. > :16:52.to this point. The French was magnificent. Nadal won that in the

:16:52. > :17:02.end. The amount of times the rain came down a people played on, it

:17:02. > :17:02.

:17:02. > :17:06.becomes greasy but you can play on, but you can't play on a grass.

:17:06. > :17:16.Dominic, thank you for Yi Malling us. He says, could you read out my

:17:16. > :17:22.

:17:22. > :17:30.idea for a new tennis court surface? It is called grayard, a

:17:30. > :17:36.combination of grass, clay and hard court. This will test the players'

:17:36. > :17:43.skill. The question I want to ask is, do

:17:43. > :17:53.we have to step through the wardrobe to get to this court? I

:17:53. > :17:53.

:17:53. > :17:55.mean, come on. It will be like Mr Benn. Right in

:17:56. > :18:05.front of the commentary box, somebody has put up an enormous

:18:06. > :18:06.

:18:06. > :18:16.umbrella. He has taken it down now. Thank you, Sir. It was a 32nd

:18:16. > :18:26.shower, basically. With any luck we will be on in 50 minutes.

:18:26. > :18:27.

:18:27. > :18:33.He is a prowling lions. He is making sure it is just so. Team of

:18:33. > :18:41.eight ground staff, but 20 for the tournament. They are praying all

:18:42. > :18:48.the grounds here. -- preparing. If we did not baby these players so

:18:48. > :18:56.much, they would be on right now. I remember, OK, fine, it was not as

:18:56. > :19:01.professional and they were not as adept at treating the courts, but

:19:01. > :19:09.again the 1970s, I remember playing three a drizzle for a good 10

:19:09. > :19:18.minutes. -- through a drizzle. You just sucked it up and played on.

:19:18. > :19:28.Look, he is having a chat with this nice girl from either Nonsuch or St

:19:28. > :19:33.Philomena's Catholic high school. That is nice. This is dangerous

:19:33. > :19:38.because Greg Rusedski ended up marrying a ball girl. But he was

:19:38. > :19:47.playing in a junior tournament at the time.

:19:47. > :19:54.He was quite young. But Dimitrov is only 21, isn't he?

:19:54. > :20:01.This is sweet. He was already pretty popular. He is going to be

:20:01. > :20:10.doubly popular. Ivan Lendl met his wife when she was about that age?

:20:10. > :20:19.Really? Right. Grigor Dimitrov has got his girlfriend on the other

:20:19. > :20:24.side watching him. She will have her daggers out.

:20:24. > :20:34.This is the process we have seen on this grass court a couple of times.

:20:34. > :20:40.I can remember in the '70s, Jimmy Connors and an opponent played in

:20:40. > :20:43.Nottingham. They were slipping and sliding around the court. It was

:20:43. > :20:50.some what the most entertaining tennis of all time. That was the

:20:50. > :20:59.days when the Jews -- Wiggins turn on the TV and just see what she

:20:59. > :21:03.wanted. -- when you didn't just turn on the TV.

:21:03. > :21:08.The referee may have said, would you like to come off? And they

:21:08. > :21:16.would say, no, we will have an umbrella and keep going. Because

:21:16. > :21:22.they knew they would have a laugh. We did not finish the discussion on

:21:22. > :21:28.that three surface court that Dominik cent in. How are you going

:21:28. > :21:33.to maintain that court? It is not going to be easy. OK, let's dismiss

:21:33. > :21:40.the idea. I tell you what, he should put up a couple of million

:21:40. > :21:50.bucks and he would get the top guys to play in this event and we will

:21:50. > :21:59.

:21:59. > :22:05.see how it goes. You might like this - racketlon.# have you heard

:22:05. > :22:15.of that? It is a sport combining four other

:22:15. > :22:21.sports. I have a friend competing for England in that. Most people

:22:21. > :22:31.are pretty ropey at least one of those sports.

:22:31. > :22:33.

:22:34. > :22:38.OK, while we are waiting for the players, let's talk to the man at

:22:38. > :22:48.the centre of all things to do with this tournament, the long-suffering

:22:48. > :22:51.

:22:51. > :22:56.The fact that Nalbandian's match has just been and gone means that

:22:56. > :23:01.you have only got eight players left. So you need two hours of play

:23:01. > :23:08.and you could be on time? A couple of hours I think we will

:23:08. > :23:13.get through today. Nalbandian was a key match to get away this morning.

:23:13. > :23:18.In terms of... It is easy for us because we want to make a story out

:23:18. > :23:22.of anything, for us to say it is catastrophic. But you could be on

:23:22. > :23:25.schedule by close of play tonight. It would be like it has not rained

:23:25. > :23:30.at all. It will be close. We always look

:23:30. > :23:34.ahead to see what options we have got. We started early in the past

:23:34. > :23:38.two days. That has been good. We could start early again tomorrow.

:23:38. > :23:44.We will be ready for our semi-final line-up.

:23:44. > :23:49.What is the state of play from the players' perspective? Is it tough?

:23:49. > :23:54.It is tough on them. They have got to do it. But it is just a from

:23:54. > :23:59.your point of view as well? They don't like the rain, but

:23:59. > :24:07.coming off and on is the worst. To get a spell of rain, it clears, and

:24:07. > :24:13.that is fine. It is the off and on that is difficult. The mood in the

:24:13. > :24:16.players' lounge is so positive. They still love being here and the

:24:20. > :24:24.Have you had many complaints from players, or more like it from their

:24:24. > :24:32.entourage, to say the courts are too slippery? No. The beginning of

:24:32. > :24:36.the week is always greasy. Now it is the surface water coming off and

:24:36. > :24:43.they are loving it. This plays almost like a hard court. Still got

:24:43. > :24:50.a bit of a slickness to it but they are coping. Be honest, Murray and

:24:50. > :24:54.sombre go out, Tipsarevic goes out - as somebody who sells tickets

:24:54. > :25:00.based on big names, do you shrug and say, that is bought? Or do you

:25:00. > :25:04.say, oh, no? We want the big names to come through. But the good thing

:25:04. > :25:07.about sport and tennis in this country is it is a very educated

:25:07. > :25:11.market. All these people here today, they actually know the back stories

:25:11. > :25:21.of a lot of players. We have got the birth of the next great player,

:25:21. > :25:25.

:25:25. > :25:31.Dimitrov,, coming on. We saw the Nicolas Mahut match. They know a

:25:31. > :25:38.lot more than in a lot of other countries. People laughed watching

:25:38. > :25:44.grass court tennis. -- if people are laugh.

:25:44. > :25:49.And what about the roof? No force of this is a temporary structure

:25:49. > :25:51.and it takes six weeks to build. The technology is not there to

:25:51. > :26:00.build a roof on a temporary structure.

:26:00. > :26:05.You could put a can of beer over it. Some clingfilm, maybe! The sun is

:26:05. > :26:12.out now. Tropical. All will be well. SUE BARKER: They would never allow

:26:12. > :26:16.a roof here at this place in London. It was named after Queen Victoria.

:26:16. > :26:21.It has been here since 1886. They have made many changes but a roof

:26:21. > :26:25.is not going to be one of them. We have had a few raindrops during the

:26:25. > :26:30.interview, but look at that, that is what is coming. Beautiful blue

:26:30. > :26:34.skies. I don't think it will be long until the players are out on

:26:34. > :26:44.court once again. So, more tennis to come here this afternoon. But

:26:44. > :27:15.

:27:15. > :27:20.boy, we have got so much to look It really is a good year. So much

:27:20. > :27:26.to look forward to it. So many of the players are signed that gold

:27:26. > :27:31.medal will be as treasured as much as a major. That is what people

:27:31. > :27:37.have been hearing since tennis was introduced to the Olympic Games.

:27:37. > :27:43.The Centre Court is based in sunshine. It won't be too long

:27:43. > :27:50.until we are out. Andre and Peter are still in the commentary box. --

:27:50. > :27:53.Andrew. This is going to be a year where tennis is accepted into the

:27:53. > :27:58.game's more than it has been previously.

:27:58. > :28:02.I think you're right. I'm looking forward to going to watch it. I'm

:28:02. > :28:09.looking forward to the coloured clothing, for one. Also to have the

:28:09. > :28:13.groups of fans cheering for a country. It will be like the

:28:13. > :28:17.Australian Open is now, we have pockets of fans. It is unlike what

:28:17. > :28:23.we have seen at Wimbledon, which is a lot more conservative. It will

:28:23. > :28:27.make it more interesting. To be at Wimbledon, the players are taking

:28:28. > :28:31.this extremely seriously. It will be amazing. We are going to have a

:28:31. > :28:36.double treat. We have Wimbledon and then the big boys will be back to

:28:36. > :28:41.play for their country. As far as the women are concerned, I know

:28:41. > :28:46.Venus Williams, who has done everything, desperate to have a

:28:46. > :28:52.ranking high enough that she can actually going represent the United

:28:52. > :28:56.States. She has just made it by about two of 3 ranking positions. I

:28:56. > :29:00.heard that Maria Sharapova is going to carry the flag during the

:29:00. > :29:05.opening ceremony. Tennis is so accepted. That is what people have

:29:05. > :29:10.been hoping for in the Olympic Games. We have been having a look

:29:10. > :29:15.around this club. We have been told me about the roof. John had his

:29:15. > :29:21.tongue in cheek. This is a place where we used to train as juniors.

:29:21. > :29:28.It has got such a rich history. has. It has been a long for --

:29:28. > :29:33.around for such a long time. We used to have polished wood and no

:29:33. > :29:39.heating to grow up on. It would rain occasionally and the water

:29:39. > :29:44.would come through the roof. They were not so good in those days. We

:29:44. > :29:49.would have wet spots on the court. But it has got such a history here.

:29:49. > :29:54.It is an amazing piece of land. All the players love coming. They love

:29:54. > :29:59.the intimacy of being close to the spectators. They're so used to

:29:59. > :30:04.these huge stadiums, which is all well and good, having 17,000 people,

:30:04. > :30:08.but the intimacy is lost. A look how close the people are here. I

:30:08. > :30:11.think a lot of players like that sort of atmosphere. It creates

:30:11. > :30:16.something different when you are out playing.

:30:16. > :30:26.It is not just a tennis club. Rackets, squash and a real tennis,

:30:26. > :30:29.

:30:29. > :30:34.and they have world class players I have played real tennis before.

:30:34. > :30:37.It is impossible. Yes, but a fabulous game. The players have

:30:37. > :30:43.stayed on court. We have seen Kevin Anderson doing some stretches. But

:30:43. > :30:47.it is not ideal. Although the sun is shining, it is cold and I'm

:30:47. > :30:53.surprised they kept them and not let them go back. Were you

:30:53. > :30:58.surprised? In some ways, but these players, first, they're good guy

:30:58. > :31:03.and know everyone wants to get this through. I'm shuerp they were co-

:31:03. > :31:09.operative and let's wait and get out there as soon as possible. Dim

:31:09. > :31:14.prove was -- Dimitrov was chatting to the ballgirl. Imagine her going

:31:15. > :31:20.home and telling her friends and they will be texting her and saying,

:31:20. > :31:24.you were on TV. Kevin Anderson was doing the stretches and Dimitrov

:31:25. > :31:32.was chatting to the ballgirl. Burr he's character and he is fun. That

:31:32. > :31:38.was a nice boment. In some ways you can think too much. -- a nice

:31:38. > :31:42.moment. It is not an easy match for either player, they have been

:31:42. > :31:48.sitting there, but they're ready to go again and the sunshine is all

:31:48. > :31:53.around. Let's hope we get a long spell of play as we hand back to

:31:53. > :31:58.Peter and Andy. ANDREW CASTLE: Thank you Sue. Happy memory of

:31:58. > :32:03.these fast wooden courts. I with remember a final set tie-break with

:32:03. > :32:10.Paul Heath and members came on and said, this is our court, we have

:32:10. > :32:20.got it booked. We were talking about the Olympics, this was an

:32:20. > :32:23.

:32:23. > :32:27.Olympic venue in 1908. For what they call real tennis. Really?

:32:27. > :32:37.fantastic history. They have had an international football match here,

:32:37. > :32:42.

:32:42. > :32:52.England and weal, 1-1 in -- England and Wales, 1-1 in 1885. The Cor

:32:52. > :32:57.

:32:58. > :33:03.intheeians club was based here. -- Corintians club. In 1895 when you

:33:03. > :33:11.Americans were chasing buffalos around. Thinking back to the first

:33:11. > :33:15.time I came here and played and if I'm not mistaken, I remember them

:33:15. > :33:22.saying there were 24 indoor tennis courts in the whole of Britain.

:33:22. > :33:26.This was the late 70s. Just incredible, the changes that have

:33:26. > :33:36.happened to that landscape and David Lloyd was one who developed

:33:36. > :33:42.the first, well, I suppose modern indoor tennis. The David Lloyd

:33:42. > :33:46.clubs were so important, but the LTA took the initiative and I think

:33:46. > :33:52.they built 50 and indoor tennis became something we played. But it

:33:52. > :33:59.was late that we came to the party on indoor courts. Now in Birmingham,

:33:59. > :34:07.they're playing at Edgebaston this week and Edgebaston Priory has a

:34:07. > :34:13.fantastic indoor tennis facility. That is a wonderful facility and a

:34:13. > :34:20.new centre court will be up and running next year. That is a good

:34:20. > :34:24.tournament. The courts are a bit softer than here. This court is

:34:25. > :34:28.just about perfect. Playable now and we hope that is what we're

:34:28. > :34:32.going to get for the next perhaps half an hour before the next

:34:32. > :34:41.half an hour before the next drizzle. Who knows? That has been

:34:41. > :34:44.the pattern that we have been following. It was funny watching

:34:44. > :34:49.the ballgirls, they all got together during the rain break and

:34:49. > :34:53.while the players were on court and having a right old chinwag under

:34:53. > :35:03.the umpire's chair and having a bit of a giggle and a gossip. It was

:35:03. > :35:33.

:35:33. > :35:43.The umpire warming up the old vocal Look it's summer time all of a

:35:43. > :36:03.

:36:03. > :36:08.sudden! Yeah - and the living is He can chip the return of serve

:36:08. > :36:18.somewhere near the baseline. He just maybe in business in this

:36:18. > :36:30.

:36:30. > :36:36.The first time Kevin Anderson has been 0-30 on his serve. Are we

:36:36. > :36:46.going to see a change of momentum? That is four straight points since

:36:46. > :36:46.

:36:46. > :37:27.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:37:27. > :37:32.Oh what an over hit. It sure was. Dimitrov did well to just keep the

:37:32. > :37:42.ball in play. Because it is so gusty, this relatively short smash

:37:42. > :38:10.

:38:10. > :38:16.Oh boy, was he lucky to get away with that drop shot! Certainly not

:38:16. > :38:26.a very well-advised shot selection. But Kevin Anderson, look at that,

:38:26. > :38:49.

:38:49. > :38:59.This is a serving performance to be cherished for Kevin Anderson. He is

:38:59. > :38:59.

:39:54. > :40:00.the call. -- Dimitrov is challenging the call. The ball was

:40:01. > :40:10.called in. The call stands. ANDREW CASTLE: That is the way to save a

:40:11. > :40:44.

:40:44. > :40:54.UMPIRE: Mr Anderson challenging the call. ANDREW CASTLE: Hmm! Call

:40:54. > :40:54.

:40:54. > :41:44.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:41:44. > :41:48.Ooh! There was a slight deviation when the Dimitrov forehand hit

:41:48. > :41:52.Anderson's side of the court. It shifted a couple of minutes. It

:41:52. > :41:55.could have been the contact that Dimitrov made on the ball. But

:41:55. > :42:00.still a bad error from Kevin Anderson. That is two or three

:42:00. > :42:08.errors in that game that you wouldn't have expected him to

:42:08. > :42:15.makement perhaps we're going three sett -- sets here. Of course when

:42:15. > :42:21.you do play and in gale force winds, as these are approaching, it is

:42:21. > :42:28.important to keep your feet moving constantly to adjust with the ball,

:42:28. > :42:34.as it's Deviating through air. You need to do that also on a bad court.

:42:34. > :42:41.Keep your feet alive, so fit takes a bad bounce, you can adjust to it.

:42:41. > :42:45.Looking at the draw, the winner of this plays the winner o' of Malisse

:42:46. > :42:54.and Nalbandian. Malisse is a former semi-finalist at Wimbledon.

:42:54. > :43:04.Nalbandian is a former finalist. And you have chillic, a semi-

:43:04. > :43:04.

:43:04. > :43:13.finalist at a major level. Sam Querrey, who has won here before

:43:13. > :43:20.against my new favourite player. Who's that? Ivan Dodig. What a

:43:20. > :43:24.worker he is. Just an honourable professional. 27, a man who used to

:43:24. > :43:29.sleep in the back of car and under bridges for his shot at the big

:43:29. > :43:33.time. You have got to love that. He plays well on grass. He beat Jo-

:43:33. > :43:43.Wilfried Tsonga yesterday. There is still a lot of fine tennis to be

:43:43. > :44:02.

:44:02. > :44:12.Dimitrov has gotten himself on a roll. That is when he can become so

:44:12. > :44:37.

:44:37. > :44:47.There have been some shocks here, the top three seeds are out.

:44:47. > :45:06.

:45:06. > :45:16.Elsewhere, Rafael Nadal has been They won't have Federer and Nadeal

:45:16. > :45:36.

:45:36. > :45:41.They will save their emotional energy. Physically it is not a

:45:41. > :45:51.problem. But it takes a lot for those guys to get up for those epic

:45:51. > :46:30.

:46:31. > :46:40.That is Barbara, Kevin Anderson's mum. Nervous. Doesn't look it

:46:41. > :47:16.

:47:16. > :47:26.That is a thing of beauty. Looks as though we have got a good couple of

:47:26. > :47:26.

:47:26. > :49:11.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:49:11. > :49:15.How nice it is on a grass court to serve with brand-new tennis balls.

:49:15. > :49:20.Yes. Uniquely, a fast indoor court, of which there are so few now,

:49:20. > :49:25.offers the same sort of opportunities to get free points,

:49:25. > :49:32.but on grass the ball just zips off the surface and this is quicker

:49:32. > :49:36.than Wimbledon I think. I agree. It always has been. Because we have a

:49:36. > :49:40.real opportunity to bore people with the make up of the grass

:49:40. > :49:46.seeding, but we won't bother too much, but it is a different

:49:46. > :49:53.combination of seeds and grows across the surface, as well as up.

:49:53. > :49:59.It doesn't just grap the ball, it throws the ball off the surface. --

:49:59. > :50:05.grab the ball. At Wimbledon it sticks up like a door mat. On this

:50:05. > :50:15.it goes through. It offers more resistance at Wimbledon, the grass.

:50:15. > :50:20.

:50:20. > :50:30.This is so perfect, you could putt on this. Oh yeah and if they shaved

:50:30. > :50:30.

:50:30. > :51:50.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:51:51. > :51:57.it down, it would be Augusta One of the things that we're maybe

:51:57. > :52:07.underplaying is the serving quality from both players. Dimitrov at 75%

:52:07. > :52:09.

:52:09. > :52:15.first serves in play for the match. That is pretty astounding. O tkha.

:52:15. > :52:25.Serve he just rolled in, but for the most part he has been serving

:52:25. > :52:51.

:52:51. > :52:58.very powerful. Kevin Anderson, 85%. There is a lot of matches I played

:52:58. > :53:06.where I didn't hit 85% second serves, never mind first ones!

:53:06. > :53:15.were renowned for getting your first serve in. Was I. In the

:53:15. > :53:21.confines? Inside the arena. Um Mr Dimitrov is challenging the call.

:53:22. > :53:27.Somebody said is the machine ever turned off, or can it be overruled?

:53:27. > :53:35.That is a great challenge. What is supposed to happen here? First

:53:35. > :53:45.serve? Must be. Yes. Um first service. No the machine is not

:53:45. > :53:48.

:53:48. > :53:58.turned off and it cannot be I beg your pardon they could turn

:53:58. > :54:18.

:54:18. > :54:26.it off if they agreed it wasn't Friday afternoon at Queen's Club,

:54:26. > :54:36.plebt of -- plenty of tennis to come. Some rain delays today. But

:54:36. > :54:36.

:54:36. > :56:24.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:56:24. > :56:31.this one looks set for a while. A That is a dozen aces. When Kevin

:56:32. > :56:34.Anderson holes serve, he at least makes Dimitrov serve for this

:56:34. > :56:38.second serve. That was good professional work for him and we

:56:38. > :56:41.will see if he can make a start in this game coming up. They're

:56:41. > :56:48.playing for a place in the semi- final. We haven't talked about

:56:48. > :56:54.prize money this week. This is a quarter-final match, just over

:56:54. > :57:04.15,000 euros. For a quarter-final finish. 45 computer points. At

:57:04. > :57:04.

:57:04. > :57:10.these rankings, it doesn't make a lot of difference; un less you win.

:57:10. > :57:20.It is not like a slam that will change things. But it would help.

:57:20. > :57:25.

:57:25. > :57:32.Absolutely. Because let's see... I guess they take... There is four

:57:32. > :57:37.slam and the eight of the masters series and the best four of the

:57:37. > :57:46.500s. Masters is a thousand. That is say 16 and the best two at this

:57:46. > :57:56.level. Right. And the masters at the end of the year if you get in

:57:56. > :58:04.it. Exactly. So for a player who has won two tournaments at this

:58:04. > :58:11.level, which is the 250 level, it might not help them immediately.

:58:11. > :58:21.that is a shame. I doubt if any of the players left in the draw now

:58:21. > :58:22.

:58:22. > :59:03.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:59:03. > :59:06.have won two 250-level tournaments That first point in this game was

:59:06. > :59:13.so important and it was a shank from Kevin Anderson on the forehand

:59:13. > :59:23.side. He needed to get a foot hold in the game. Now three set points

:59:23. > :59:57.

:59:57. > :00:06.That is what the crowd were after. It has been an entertaining and a

:00:06. > :00:09.high quality match and it will be decided in a third set. We were

:00:09. > :00:16.talking about the importance of this Championship to the players

:00:16. > :00:22.and somehow it is greater, because of the venue and the history and of

:00:22. > :00:32.its proximity to Wimbledon and you can see by the quality of champ yos

:01:47. > :01:57.played each other in the first round. We had a huge row. After the

:01:57. > :02:06.match. We both sat on one of the benches and talk to Dover. A

:02:07. > :02:16.different day and age. -- talked it over. He won? He won. Surprise,

:02:30. > :02:35.Whilst we wake for Hawk-Eye, it must have been the year he stayed

:02:35. > :02:41.at Wimbledon YMCA. What a great natural grass court player he was,

:09:25. > :09:33.reminds me of this fellow here. They have got 1000 shots to choose

:09:33. > :09:38.from. I think the jury is still out on this guy with he has enough.

:09:39. > :09:47.Marie still there? If he can stay fit. He seems motivated -- Andy

:09:57. > :10:06.best. -- guy. It just takes one freak injury and a guy can lose his

:10:06. > :10:15.step. We have to remember, neither Bjorn Borg nor John McEnroe won a

:10:15. > :10:20.major after the age of 25. Bjorn Borg retired at 26. In fact, in

:10:20. > :10:24.essence he retired at 25 and three months, but US Open final when he

:10:24. > :10:34.lost to McEnroe. He walked off the court and we never saw him again,

:12:25. > :12:30.kept his eye on the ball well because Dimitrov virtually fell

:12:30. > :12:33.over when he was making his return. There is a temptation when that

:12:33. > :12:39.happens to push the ball back to allow your opponents time to

:12:39. > :12:49.recover their position, sometimes you lose focus on the ball and just

:12:49. > :13:41.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:13:41. > :13:46.missed it. He did well just to Down, that is about the umpteenth

:13:46. > :13:52.time he has done that in the tournament. It doesn't seem to

:13:52. > :14:01.affect him. Wait till he is 10 years older. His foot work, he is

:14:01. > :14:11.so quick. He is used to playing on a hard court. That was a move that

:16:53. > :16:59.connections. Let's hope they didn't do all 11 hours. She is ever so

:16:59. > :17:09.nice. I had a chat with her the the day. Very talkative. I don't think

:17:09. > :17:14.

:19:44. > :19:48.of the new balls. -- he is looking He is serving 77%, eight out of 10

:19:48. > :19:53.first serves are going in, and he is losing. That shows the standard

:19:53. > :19:58.of the match, especially in these conditions. Real quality. Virtually

:19:58. > :20:08.a free game for the Bulgarian player, he has got the break, he

:20:08. > :21:33.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:21:33. > :21:43.Terrific, penetrating forehand. That shot just wasn't directed

:21:43. > :21:51.

:21:51. > :22:01.That was a sadly play from Anderson. Get the second serve over. A high

:22:01. > :22:25.

:22:25. > :22:35.volley. All he had to de was This one was tight, no question.

:22:35. > :22:46.

:22:46. > :22:56.Did it catch a tiny portion of the Very well thought-out shot and well

:22:56. > :23:19.

:23:19. > :23:25.We were talking about he might be around in five years. This is

:23:25. > :23:31.certainly somebody there wouldn't be surprised anybody if he was. Top

:23:31. > :23:36.20, 25 looked like a definite top 30. He knows about top five and top

:23:36. > :23:41.10. It plans about he was gone so long and how hard he works.

:23:41. > :23:51.Impossible to say, really. The third youngest in the top hundred

:23:51. > :23:53.

:23:53. > :24:03.at the end of last year. Also the stadium, and Ryan Harrison -- the

:24:12. > :24:18.A really good match player. Wonderful feel for changing pace,

:24:25. > :24:33.Wimbledon. -- quarter-final points at Wimbledon. He may feel the

:24:33. > :24:42.pressure in the next few weeks. Dimitrov, a better athlete. Brian

:24:42. > :24:52.Harrison, quite a good athlete. -- why an athlete. Not sure if he has

:24:52. > :24:58.

:24:58. > :25:08.Harrison has a bit of a temper he is trying to deal with. Dimitrov,

:25:08. > :25:15.

:25:15. > :25:25.there have been questions about his That is pretty much all you are

:25:25. > :25:47.

:25:47. > :25:51.It is that back foot again. Trying to get to the ball. As you push off

:25:51. > :26:01.it just disappears. Not an awful lot of weight on the back foot when

:26:01. > :26:17.

:26:17. > :26:22.you do push off. The left foot. On a hard court it is like a

:26:22. > :26:32.sprinter coming out the blocks, it helps you. On this surface, I am

:26:32. > :26:32.

:26:32. > :27:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:27:49. > :27:58.That was a bit of a heel Mary attempt there. Behind the baseline.

:28:15. > :28:21.Anderson is up on him at this game. Came from 40-15 down, he has now

:28:21. > :28:29.earned himself a break point. was a perfect illustration of

:28:29. > :28:36.Anderson, perhaps, his greater mental focus. He was sending out

:28:36. > :28:46.large amounts of energy in that rally. You could feel he wasn't

:28:46. > :28:49.

:28:49. > :28:59.about to miss. Still very aggressive. This really is the

:28:59. > :29:09.match right here, isn't it? A big deal for him. Just got to hold this

:29:09. > :29:09.

:29:09. > :29:50.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:29:50. > :29:56.service game and the next and he is When they get into back court

:29:56. > :30:01.rallies you can't help feeling Dimitrov is just hanging on. Giving

:30:01. > :30:11.the ball was of top spin, it seems to be dropping short. Anderson, in

:30:11. > :30:51.

:30:51. > :30:56.pretty solid control of most of the Very good. Stern resistance from a

:30:56. > :31:04.young man. Each time he comes through, a little fire like that,

:31:04. > :31:08.he gets harder. One day he will be the finished article and we are

:31:08. > :31:16.seeing his developments in front of our eyes. It is fascinating to

:31:16. > :31:26.watch. Kevin Anderson exerted much pressure, but it was the Bulgarian

:31:26. > :31:26.

:31:26. > :32:41.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:32:41. > :32:51.That was a beautifully timed Half- volley. Not really a harp volley,

:32:51. > :32:51.

:32:51. > :33:49.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:33:49. > :33:59.and not quite to call it that, but Good, solid attacking play from

:33:59. > :33:59.

:33:59. > :34:40.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:34:40. > :34:47.That was a clever play from Dimitrov. He certainly shaped up

:34:47. > :34:54.like he was going to hit a deep, sliced approach shot. Kept it low

:34:54. > :35:04.into the wind. Anderson struggled to get up to it. Just under two

:35:04. > :35:12.

:35:12. > :35:17.hours of play. A match point to The last time he challenged on this

:35:17. > :35:25.side, he was proven wrong. He then double faulted and we wouldn't want

:35:25. > :35:35.to see that. He is right this time. Should that be first serve?

:35:35. > :36:03.

:36:03. > :36:13.Absolutely. Did that call effect They have to go on a safe call, on

:36:13. > :36:13.

:36:13. > :37:13.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:37:13. > :37:19.That was a brave second serve. it all was, it was! Dimitrov would

:37:19. > :37:29.like to have that one back again. It was on his racket and he hit it

:37:29. > :37:29.

:37:29. > :39:09.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:39:09. > :39:15.Dimitrov is just hanging around in this game. He has had two match

:39:15. > :39:20.points. He is going to be very disappointed if he sits down and

:39:20. > :39:30.not finished the match off and has to come out and serve for it. He

:39:30. > :39:30.

:39:30. > :40:44.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:40:44. > :40:51.That is it. This young star rises even further at Queen's Club. He

:40:52. > :41:00.beat him at Eastbourne last year. Andy has beaten him again. It is a

:41:00. > :41:06.very good effort from a set down. For quarter-finals at tour Leavold

:41:06. > :41:16.last year. This was his first quarter-final this year, now it is

:41:16. > :41:27.

:41:27. > :41:34.a semi-final. It has got to mean It is terrific to seek a stock you

:41:34. > :41:37.can see how the crowd is taking to him. He has put in some

:41:37. > :41:44.inspirational performances throughout this week, and his week

:41:44. > :41:47.continues. You have to say, he was up against it throughout most of

:41:47. > :41:57.that match for stub just came out with a few moments of inspiration

:41:57. > :42:00.

:42:00. > :42:07.when he needed it the the most. Mahut served against him yesterday,

:42:07. > :42:17.but he refused to buckle. Anderson is an experienced and hardened top

:42:17. > :42:19.

:42:19. > :42:24.30, top 35 player. You get the feeling as you look at a match

:42:24. > :42:28.point here, he is the sort of player, given a bigger arena and

:42:29. > :42:34.bigger matches, he is likely to be inspired, because he has the shots

:42:34. > :42:42.to beat. If he was a bit stronger, and hit the ball a little harder,

:42:42. > :42:47.which will probably happen in a year or two Gumy has the potential

:42:47. > :42:53.to be top 10? I don't think he needs to get that much stronger,

:42:53. > :43:02.but a little bit more consistent. He certainly has the potential, as

:43:03. > :43:08.you say. In the top half of the draw, it is Grigor Dimitrov and we

:43:08. > :43:15.will look forward to see him playing tomorrow. It is fair to say

:43:16. > :43:23.this crowd like you here? Thanks to all of you. I can never hide my

:43:23. > :43:26.tears, but I am more than thrill today. I am here and talking to you

:43:26. > :43:32.again. But thanks to the crowd force staying, even though it has

:43:32. > :43:36.been raining all day. Hopefully I will play better tomorrow. I think

:43:36. > :43:43.he played pretty all right today. When you came to the tournaments

:43:43. > :43:48.what was the maximum expectation you had? To win the tournament. No,

:43:48. > :43:54.it was definitely to play well. I wanted to get a couple of matches

:43:54. > :44:00.before Wimbledon. I wanted to get it all in, what ever happens

:44:00. > :44:06.happens. It was a tough day for both of us. I am very happy I could

:44:06. > :44:15.get out of this match like this. was a tough day for you facing his

:44:15. > :44:25.serve, was there some guesswork, are you working it out? How do you

:44:25. > :44:29.get the ball back? He was serving all the time, 120, 130, 135. I did

:44:29. > :44:36.guess a couple of serves and hope I could get the ball back and break

:44:36. > :44:42.him. The final would be even better? I am looking forward to

:44:42. > :44:49.that one. Many congratulations, and hopefully we will see you crying on

:44:49. > :44:55.the court after tomorrow? SUE BARKER: Very emotional for

:44:55. > :45:01.Grigor Dimitrov, through to his first world tour semi-final. Very

:45:01. > :45:07.difficult conditions. And they have had a couple of rain delays. Other

:45:07. > :45:13.results today and one match held over from yesterday and it went to

:45:13. > :45:17.Yen-Hsun Lu who put out at the world No. 8, Janko Tipsarevic, who

:45:17. > :45:21.was the highest ranked player left in the draw. But it is Yen-Hsun Lu

:45:21. > :45:30.who has gone through. He reached the third round at Wimbledon last

:45:30. > :45:36.year. David Nalbandian is also through. He was on Court Number One,

:45:36. > :45:41.facing Edouard Roger-Vasselin, who put out Andy Roddick. He came

:45:41. > :45:44.through in three sets. The former world No. 3, who at the end of last

:45:44. > :45:51.year dropped out of it the world's top 50 for the second time in 11

:45:51. > :45:53.years. 38 now, I'm sure to move up after this week. He is through to

:45:53. > :46:01.the quarter-final and he will be the quarter-final and he will be

:46:01. > :46:06.back on court later this afternoon. One player is through, Dimitrov.

:46:06. > :46:12.And also, Xavier Malisse will be facing David Nalbandian on Court

:46:12. > :46:22.Number One shortly. The match on Centre Court in just a moment, with

:46:22. > :46:26.

:46:26. > :46:31.about half-an-hour left on BBC Two, That is the line-up, and that it

:46:31. > :46:36.was pretty impressive? It was, because he lost the first set, and

:46:36. > :46:41.it could have easily have gone away. But he stuck around, found his way

:46:41. > :46:47.back into the match. I instinctively like him. He has the

:46:47. > :46:52.shots and is prepared to show a flair for the dramatic. And Chris

:46:52. > :46:58.Kermode, a great friend of ours, gave him wildcards the last couple

:46:58. > :47:04.of years, and a lot of people gave him grief answered why don't you

:47:04. > :47:08.give it to the young Brits? He said, this guy Desire -- deserves it, I

:47:08. > :47:15.want him to come back to my tournament. I will show him some

:47:15. > :47:20.loyalty, and hopefully he will show me some loyalty and will come back.

:47:20. > :47:25.He is a superstar in the making if he can maintain it? Not that many

:47:25. > :47:31.players out there, which you look at can create these shots out of

:47:31. > :47:35.nothing. What he creates, most players wouldn't even have the

:47:35. > :47:40.imagination to try them. He not only tries them, he can make them.

:47:40. > :47:44.That is why it is exciting to watch somebody who has something special.

:47:44. > :47:50.Maybe this might be his breakthrough tournament? He has the

:47:50. > :47:56.whole game. When you face a break point on his serve, we thought it

:47:56. > :48:00.was a test. Where is he mentally? He picked the big the first serve,

:48:00. > :48:06.exactly what was needed. We know he has the game, it is having the

:48:06. > :48:12.belief? I at this level, the men are so good, having the talent, but

:48:12. > :48:15.you have to be tough as nails. If you're not, that sock professionals

:48:15. > :48:18.will eat you like a breakfast will start he has played three

:48:18. > :48:24.incredible matches against good players and come through under

:48:24. > :48:29.pressure situations. This will give him the courage to go on and work

:48:29. > :48:36.harder. This is a big event and he is in the semi-finals. He should

:48:36. > :48:43.listen to himself. He is getting older, he no longer needs his dad

:48:43. > :48:47.or anybody else around him so much. You have to break away from that. I

:48:47. > :48:52.look at Laura Robson, she has a big team around her, which is important

:48:52. > :48:56.when you were young. But responsibility and become an adult,

:48:57. > :49:02.and then you are ready to play. That is what I think he is doing

:49:02. > :49:07.That is what I think he is doing now. We put together a few points,

:49:07. > :49:12.just to enjoy. People talk about him being the baby Federer, which

:49:12. > :49:17.is tough for him to live up to. He is producing some great shots and

:49:17. > :49:25.this is why he is going to be a favourite. He has every shot in the

:49:25. > :49:31.book. It is so effortless. The one- handed backhand is also something

:49:31. > :49:35.beautiful to watch. A maybe because it is such a rarity in! He can do

:49:35. > :49:40.that backhand and the slice is beautiful and he can come over it

:49:40. > :49:45.and create the angled cross court. He has a very good down-the-line as

:49:45. > :49:52.well. His balance is good. He is great news when he is coming

:49:52. > :49:57.forward. That is the game now. When he is coming forward on the ball

:49:57. > :50:03.and hits it 5% a harder, which I think comes with extra muscles, he

:50:03. > :50:08.will be stronger. When he is coming forward at you, it is just

:50:08. > :50:12.aggression, he has every shot in the book. You can see him going to

:50:12. > :50:18.third, 4th round, maybe quarter- final Wimbledon. It would be

:50:18. > :50:23.thrilling 4 star he was up against a player he was thumping, not just

:50:23. > :50:29.the serves down, but the ground shots as well. He is a player that

:50:29. > :50:33.does not give anything away cheaply. He was down a set and he came

:50:33. > :50:38.through his. Anderson was serving big serves, it did not worry him.

:50:38. > :50:45.Pete kept hanging in there until he got the chance and then the extra

:50:45. > :50:51.talent took over. We have not seen crying often, especially in a

:50:51. > :50:57.quarter-final, but this is what it means to him. And he will have felt

:50:57. > :51:02.the pressure and expectation. He won the Orange Bowl as a 14-year-

:51:02. > :51:12.old, he has had this massive weight of expectation. He is now beginning

:51:12. > :51:12.

:51:12. > :51:17.to show people what he can do. That I think wide... First tour as a

:51:17. > :51:22.senior. This is why you play and do the work. All the talking, the

:51:22. > :51:31.parents, the management companies and all other rubbish that goes

:51:31. > :51:35.with it. Get out there, get the job done. This is one of the world's

:51:35. > :51:41.major arenas the tennis, and he is doing it in front of us. It is

:51:41. > :51:45.going to be great. Seeing these new names coming through, they are

:51:45. > :51:50.setting themselves up for a great Wimbledon. The depth in men's

:51:50. > :51:54.tennis is astonishing? It is extraordinary. We always go into

:51:54. > :51:58.Wimbledon thinking there are a couple of dangerous players. It is

:51:58. > :52:03.not so many good first round matches any more. When you see the

:52:03. > :52:06.players who have played well here who are not seeded, a lot of the

:52:06. > :52:14.seeded players wouldn't want to play some of these in the first

:52:14. > :52:20.round. The sum -- some of the stuff he will be creating on court,

:52:20. > :52:25.Alexandr Dolgopolov, is another one. I love watching him play. The speed

:52:25. > :52:33.they are hitting the ball, these guys are producing it. These are

:52:33. > :52:37.players Andy Murray is looking at, probably not... He is looking ahead,

:52:37. > :52:43.but he will be looking over his shoulder seeing what is coming up

:52:43. > :52:47.behind. Dimitrov will be one of them. As far as this tournament is

:52:47. > :52:52.concerned, another quarter-final coming up and this one features

:52:52. > :53:00.Marin Cilic. Highest-ranked player left in the door, every time I say

:53:00. > :53:06.that, something happens. This is someone coming back and is a threat

:53:06. > :53:14.on any surface? 23 years old. The must have been around for about 10

:53:14. > :53:18.years. He has been around for donkeys years. In 2009 he beat Andy

:53:19. > :53:24.Murray in the US Open. In the quarter-final, and he lost to del

:53:24. > :53:28.Potro. He is a man of vast experience. He is another player

:53:28. > :53:35.everybody talked up a few years ago thinking he would have won a Grand

:53:35. > :53:41.Slam by now. Some people will think it is a disappointment, but he is

:53:41. > :53:43.only 23, he has all the weapons and is a dangerous player. Did he go

:53:43. > :53:48.back and play some lesser tournaments to get some confidence

:53:48. > :53:56.and build himself up? He started the year injured. His ranking

:53:56. > :54:03.suffered? What really happened, his coach, Bob Brett, he trains with

:54:03. > :54:12.him at his Academy. He is an experience man with a Boris Becker

:54:12. > :54:20.and Goran Ivanisevic. Anthony. was your money that let him set up

:54:20. > :54:24.the Academy? -- and me. He said when Marin Cilic got to his highest

:54:24. > :54:28.ranking, just inside the top 10, he started listening to too many

:54:28. > :54:36.people and changed his game, and he shouldn't have done. It is easily

:54:36. > :54:44.done. Bob Brett he is a terrific coach, but is a hard task master?

:54:44. > :54:49.He is, when I worked with him, I was a bit lazy, and he said you

:54:49. > :54:52.don't have to pay me, but if you don't give 110%, then you are out

:54:52. > :54:57.of the door. He knows what he is doing and is one of the best

:54:57. > :55:03.coaches in the world. He is up against someone who is proven on

:55:03. > :55:10.this surface, and proved it earlier today against Tipsarevic, winning a

:55:10. > :55:15.tight third set tie-break. It you get this man off-balance, you have

:55:15. > :55:22.got a very good ball. A couple of years ago at Wimbledon I saw him

:55:22. > :55:26.beat Roddick in five sets. Again, this is a man who is steady,

:55:26. > :55:31.balance and is another hardened professionals. We say it is losing

:55:31. > :55:37.all the stars, look Debbie's men. They are here because they have won

:55:37. > :55:43.matches. We are about ready to go. We have about 20 minutes on BBC Two

:55:43. > :55:53.before the red button. Yen-Hsun Lu against Cilic. Over to our

:55:53. > :56:15.

:56:15. > :56:21.I was impressed was him putting out Tipsarevic. Just wondering if the

:56:21. > :56:31.extra preparation today, will play its part. It has been a long day of

:56:31. > :56:42.

:56:42. > :56:52.waiting for Marin Cilic behind the He hasn't quite found his touch on

:56:52. > :57:03.

:57:03. > :57:06.the return. But he has washed his What a opportunity for this man.

:57:06. > :57:10.Plenty of grass-court experience over the last couple of years,

:57:10. > :57:16.reaching the quarter-finals of Wimbledon two years ago. Including

:57:16. > :57:26.a fantastic win over Andy Roddick, who is one of the grass -- best

:57:26. > :57:42.

:57:42. > :57:52.Marin Cilic is the highest ranked player left in the draw. World No.

:57:52. > :57:52.

:57:52. > :58:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:58:38. > :58:43.Good recovery after slipping to adjust for the volley. He has all

:58:43. > :58:53.the big hitting attributes you would expect out of the classic

:58:53. > :59:07.

:59:07. > :59:10.Croatian mould, the serve and the Nice touch as well. You feel, John

:59:10. > :59:16.Lloyd he is one of the players waiting for the final piece of the

:59:16. > :59:26.puzzle to be put in place? I agree. You feel he could make a major

:59:26. > :59:26.

:59:26. > :00:33.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:00:33. > :00:43.breakthrough question mark yes, He does use soap quite a lot. --

:00:43. > :00:43.

:00:43. > :00:53.that serve. He set himself up for the shot he wanted. Just got it

:00:53. > :00:53.

:00:53. > :01:51.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:01:51. > :01:56.Some of those only Mr queues for Marin Cilic doesn't bode well. A

:01:56. > :02:05.little shake of the head there. -- Early missed cues. You have got to

:02:05. > :02:12.settle in. Settle early in the best of these three-set matches. His

:02:12. > :02:22.coach, thinking he needs to pick it up a little bit. He still has faith

:02:22. > :02:22.

:02:22. > :03:34.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:03:34. > :03:44.in the sky, just a little bit It is a close call were. It is a

:03:44. > :03:55.

:03:55. > :04:02.Just out. Three break points on the way for Marion Cilic. -- Marin

:04:02. > :04:12.Cilic. Going to beat begins to win there, got that high ball toss. You

:04:12. > :04:41.

:04:41. > :04:51.Very close, Bob Brett, acted taking charge of British tennis -- to

:04:51. > :04:54.

:04:54. > :05:00.taking charge. When David Felgate Have been very interested had he

:05:00. > :05:07.got the job he thought he was going to get. He is a very good coach. A

:05:07. > :05:10.tough individual. I remember working out with him. Half of the

:05:10. > :05:15.incentive of winning matches in tournaments was she didn't have to

:05:15. > :05:19.practise as hard afterwards. When you lost to cut your back on the

:05:19. > :05:24.court including weights and everything else -- he got key back

:05:24. > :05:30.on the court. It was almost a competition, who could stay out

:05:30. > :05:40.longer, the rest had to be punished by practising four hours and hours.

:05:40. > :05:46.

:05:46. > :05:53.Marin Cilic, he lost his -- he lost his serve. He is that sort of code,

:05:53. > :06:02.knows what he is talking about. -- coach. If he gains from both

:06:02. > :06:11.players on the serve, neither got the conditions. Lu, he played a

:06:11. > :06:21.match out here today. I think the wind might be the worst it has been

:06:21. > :06:32.

:06:32. > :06:42.Just keeps changing direction. Some rather dark clouds looming, but

:06:42. > :07:12.

:07:12. > :07:16.does not look like an English He has already played three

:07:16. > :07:26.quarters of a match, but he has miss hit more balls than anyone

:07:26. > :07:32.

:07:32. > :07:39.else on the court. A lot of mishits, Nigh us forehand from Cilic. --

:07:39. > :07:45.that was a nice forehand. Somebody who so often tries to hit the ball

:07:45. > :07:55.very heavy and thwacked, uses power, having to adjust a little bit on

:07:55. > :07:57.

:07:57. > :08:02.The forehand side was his weakness when he was a junior but he has

:08:02. > :08:09.certainly improved it in the last few years. He used to be a very

:08:10. > :08:19.erratic shot. Just look at the net there, see how much the wind is

:08:20. > :08:20.

:08:20. > :10:36.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 204 seconds

:10:36. > :10:46.This is a very erratic start to this match. Not at the highest

:10:46. > :10:48.

:10:48. > :10:58.quality tennis, and a break point Pete's Illich. He was 2-0 down. --

:10:58. > :11:06.

:11:06. > :11:16.Nice shot to finish the game. That is why this man can be dangerous.

:11:16. > :11:19.

:11:20. > :11:23.The 6th seed. SUE BARKER: Almost ready to switch over to the red

:11:23. > :11:29.button. We have got a couple of minutes left on BBC Two. A chance

:11:29. > :11:36.to remind you of the big game tonight as England play Sweden,

:11:36. > :11:41.their second group game, live on BBC One, at 7pm. Also on Radio 5

:11:41. > :11:48.Live, Sweden versus England. Also news from Euro 2012, Ukraine,

:12:04. > :12:09.at the tennis. Let's rejoin this Hopefully the forehand winner from

:12:09. > :12:13.Cilic will pick up the quality from both sides. It hasn't been a

:12:13. > :12:23.particularly good start for both plays. Cilic did extremely well to

:12:23. > :12:33.get that break backed -- both Not a good start. A long way to go
