Day 3 - Part 1 Queen's

starts today for Andy Murray and his supporters. He starts his title

defence this afternoon on Centre Court against Paul-Henri Mathieu,

the second match on. This player has only won set off Andy Murray in five

meetings. Leyton Hewitt is under way, the former Wimbledon champion,

up against Feliciano Lopez, down a break of serve in the first. Joining

that shortly. And then the top seed here, the Australian open champion,

Stan Wawrinka, up against Marcos Baghdatis who is on a six match

winning streak, so not an easy start for Stan. And then the ever popular

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga against David Goffin. The crowds flock in and

there has been a real buzz at Queen's Club all week. The weather

is ideal once again and we have an order of play to savour. The star of

the showbiz Andy Murray, walking on to court. What an afternoon. We have

been on Murray watch already, finding him out on practice court

sporting his new haircut, which he got yesterday. There he is, ready

for his grass court season. It has all come round so fast. 12 months

ago it started here. Champion of Queen's and then going on to win the

77 year wait to find a male Wimbledon champion and becoming a

national hero. A lot has changed since then. His new coach is there,

former singles champion. -- Amelie Mauresmo. She will find herself in

the spotlight very much over the next few weeks but she is not

talking at the moment, just concentrating on overseeing Andy

Murray's preparations for the grass court season. She will really be in

the spotlight. We will see what she can deliver. I think she is going to

be a very steadying influence for him. I think so. She has been there,

she has won two Grand Slams and he knows what it is about. And Andy

Murray is clean shaven for the first time! Is that her influence? She

might make him clean up a bit! Unusual for him. She is calm and tea

has been there and done it. She went through a lot of adversity in her

tennis career. A bit of a choker. Then she got the monkey off her back

with the Australian Open, that was tainted by injury, and then she won

Wimbledon. A good player tactically, and I think a good personality, so

they will mesh well together. Let's face it, she does not have to

reinvent the wheel! Andy Murray is a great grass court player and he

played terrific tennis in Paris. OK, he got thrashed by Rafael Nadal, but

everybody did. Things are on the up for him right now. It is as though

she just needs to come in and see how it goes. She does not have to

come in and be a superstar coach. No. I think she has to be there to

deflect a lot of stuff, to be a sounding board, in some ways, which

she does not have in that team, someone who has been there and done

it. That was the one missing element. It comes into play with a

Grand Slam winner, as it did with Ivan Lendl, there's little moments

the night before crucial matches, before the semifinals of Grand

Slams, when even great players sometimes get nervous and have

doubts. When you have someone in your corner who has been there and

done it, that can make the difference. You are looking for a

tiny edge these days because the top players are so good. It comes down

to this. Maybe just one little thing that she says to be mentally at

night will the difference. It is not just about the tennis, it is what is

happening up here. What did Andy Murray have to say about his new

appointment? For me it does not feel so different because when I was

growing up I had my mum working with me until I was 17 so I have always

had a strong female influence in my career. I found with my mum

especially that she listened extremely well. That was something

that I felt right now that I needed. I have started to listen to my body

a lot more because over the years you start to pick up on things. I

think it is important that the people you work with respect that

and understand and listen to how you are feeling. You can't just be

pushed extremely hard every single day. I need to pick my moments

during the year when I really go for it in training. That was one of the

reasons. For me it just did not feel like a strange thing to do because I

grew up with a female coach. When you come here and you know that

Wimbledon is just a few weeks away, is that pretty exciting? Very

exciting. It is a period that I always look forward to. All of the

players when they come on the grass, everybody seems to be happy. Towards

the end of the clay-court season everybody is quite tired and down.

Just mentally fatigued. But then when you see everyone on the grass,

everyone is smiling and happy. The sun is out. It is a great period of

the year. I just wish it was a bit longer. He has some happy memories

here. Not just last year but before. Coming back to a place he is

familiar with. He might be the best grass court player now. Roger

Federer was always viewed as the best but Andy Murray might have

usurped him. He is very comfortable on that surface and he moves very

well on it. He returned serve so incredibly well so it is a great

strength for him. A lot has changed with a new coach, but also the back

surgery. A lot of players will not go through surgery, only as a last

resort, but his results have been good. That is an issue as well. Yes,

the back surgery was a serious operation. He got through it all

right. It has been worrying him for many years. He had to make the

decision to do bit and you never know what might happen after that

and he has recovered well. Everybody expects him to jump back and be

winning things right off the back but it has not happened. It has been

a gradual climb since then. In the French Open I thought he played

extremely well until he looked tired against Rafael Nadal in the semis.

If he is not favourite, he is probably second favourite. This is

just his record through the year. He has not reached a final. He has lost

to some of the big names. Some results against people who probably

should have beaten. John makes a great point about the back surgery.

We expected him to come back and say the pain had gone, right? I don't

think his back is entirely better. It is still one of the situation is

that he has got to manage. Some days, some shots, he will go to hit

them and have pain. It is interesting signing Amelie Mauresmo,

someone who can set aside with what he is going through physically, and

maybe tweak his training just to make sure it is as strong as it

needs to be. We have all gone through surgery and stuff but I

wonder if you ever trust your body as much when you have gone through

surgery. Exactly. That is the whole key. You get twinges and worry. But

I am sure that he has been assured that everything is OK but it is easy

for us to say that. It will be proved by how he is winning matches

and recovering afterwards. It is something you have got to manage. A

tennis career is strenuous these days. It always was, but now, with

what they put themselves through, he has to manage it. He has the right

people around him. He has to rest of the right time. It is a science now

and he has to maintain it. He could have another five or seven years at

the top anti-has to be careful Lopez has has taken the first set 6-3.

Now, Marcos Baghdatis. Terrible clay season, did not win a match. Then he

won in Nottingham. When you are such a good grasp layer like him, is he

as good as he used to be? -- grass player. Probably not. But it is a

difficult thing for Stanislas Wawrinka to come into. And after the

French Open. Yes. I think Stan is battling with the expectations

everyone has of an Australian Open champion. And to come onto grass,

which he has not really had success on, I am sure he will be nervous. He

will be very tight coming into this match against Baghdatis. That was a

heck of a win. 12-0 was the head to head and then he beat Rafael Nadal

to win his first Grand Slam title. Boy, a lot expected of him now. This

was him back to sing today. We will set you a challenge as well. It is a

tough start for the top seed and we want to know who you think will win

that match. We want you to tell us through Twitter or on our website.

The terms and conditions are on the tennis pages of the website. The

vote will close. -- just before the end of the match. Beta, you have got

to run to the commentary box. Hello. A beautiful day at Queen's

Club. Not so beautiful for Leyton Hewitt, required to serve from the

end from which he dropped his serve, which cost him the set.

Lleyton having real trouble with ball toss going into the sun.

These players have played four times. Leyton Hewitt leads 4-0 in

the head-to-head. He has just lost his first ever set to Lopez 6-3.

Cristiano Lopez the recipient of a gift game, starting off this match

with Leyton Hewitt serving into the strength of the sun. -- Feliciano

Lopez. I think the Sun has moved just enough to make it comfortable.

son is in charge now. Just chilling. No work to do today. The work is

done in preparation. The first week of the French Open there was quite a

lot of rain, so the court retained a fair bit of moisture. I was talking

to them about it and no problem. Their guys have managed better this

year compared to early last year, that is the shore. -- that is

certain. People applying sun lotion. Jerry is from Eastbourne, the sun

trap of the cells, well-prepared. -- of the South. Everybody seems to

congregate in the clubhouse before they go out. It is so old-fashioned,

quaint. Older than your country, I think! If not me!

That is nasty! Nobody is getting that back. This was how he served

out the first set. Even if somebody gets a racket on it, what could they

do? Into the crowd. Assuring Hewitt that the ball was

clearly long, then a challenge. -- no challenge.

You see what you have to defend against Lopez, don't you? The first

one virtually in the front row of the crowd. The same ball costs, just

no time to defend. A left-hander with a good swing at lock in the

middle. Indefensible. He will hit that 18 or 19 out of 20,

that serve. Good strong 85% at 100 mph. That is what players should

work on more at club level, having a good 80% first serve that they can

absolutely rely on. Do you agree? Sounds like good advice! Wish I had

thought of it! Very rarely will you see Leyton

Hewitt slipped off balance on this surface.

That is one of the beautiful things about watching Leyton Hewitt. You

know that he is always in the match. Perhaps that it starts to get a

better feel for returning Lopez's serve, he will be a more difficult

proposition. We have the small matter of

Wimbledon ahead for everyone involved in tennis. The football

World Cup starts tomorrow. I thought I had seen these two in the same

group, Australia and Spain. Really? I don't like Australia's chancers. I

don't know much about their team. I like Leyton Hewitt's chances of

winning this match more than his football team. You are a savvy

sports commentator, aren't you? United States, you guys have got

Ghana. They can play. Portugal. Someone called Ronald in their

team. And Germany. Is it Ronald McDonald? You are a massive football

fan. Chelsea bloke, aren't you? Yes, why not? I don't like our chances in

the World Cup, let's leave it at that. England against Italy at 11

o'clock on Saturday night, is it? Is it the late game? Is that too late

for you? I will have to set my alarm!

The newspaper is absolutely covered in football supplements and that

sort of thing at the moment. Tennis will certainly be around for the

next four weeds at one of the guys making the headlines certainly Andy

Murray. Some acreage in the new coaching relationship with Ami

Mauresmo. In action after this. -- Amelie Mauresmo.

Such a huge amount of swing on the second delivery.

I have to say, some superb movement at the back of the court. One of the

ball girls just moving her hands and whipped over to her left and missed

that. Good effort. It is not target practice!

He has only lost seven points on serve, Lopez. A dominant

performance. Apart from holding his own serve it is difficult to know

what Leyton Hewitt can do about it but he will hang about. Absolutely.

And he can just hope that Lopez will lose a bit of velocity on his serve.

Or perhaps have a game where he misses a few first serves.

That is a big hole and a big message from Leyton Hewitt. As if he was

going to go away! It is lovely to watch in trying to work it out. He

has a major conundrum on his hands. Does he change position to try to

get a racket on a ball and make Lopez play it? Look at this, and

return first serves that Lopez is serving. -- unreturned. Remarkable.

When you think how good Leyton Hewitt's return of serve has always

been, and 84% of those serves are not coming back. It is testament to

how well he serves. I don't think we can expect him to continue. There

has been three quarters of an hour of this match and when Lopez has

gone wide, he has not lost a point on the first serve. Can he marry

that? And hitting wide is his strength, the to hander. -- two

hander. I know what you mean. If he does not hit the spot, he has

been very accurate. If he does not get it close to the line, Hewitt

will put them back into play. That's far he has been nearly perfect on

serve. People settling in, beginning to anticipate the Murray match.

Lopez has looked solid as a rock of the top-spin backhand. That's not

normally his great strength. That great return of serve. He just

managed to chip it back. No doubt Hewitt wants to have

somebody serving and following -- volleying on every point. Lopez

mixing it up nicely. Some people down there in the

corner, it is a members' area, I don't think they realised when they

sat there, he's lost his drink and probably queued up for it, he is

gutted! Well, you shouldn't have skived off work anyway! People

sometimes leave their drinks up there and it's a target.

Monumental serving. Double figures on aces for Feliciano Lopez. They

hadn't played for seven years. They played this year in Brisbane and

Hewitt beat him again. Went on to win the tournament. What a great

start to the year in front of home fans. . He a set down here.

Perhaps a bad bounce. It certainly skidded through the court nicely.

What a terrific point from Lopez, just placing the ball exquisitely.

Interesting. He picked the serve, he moved out wide even before Hewitt

had hit it. APPLAUSE

. That is away. Lopez will define

play. If Hewitt doesn't break either one of the next two service games

from Lopez, he is out. That is a little bit lax in some

areas from Lleyton Hewitt. He has not played so well today. Well, I

think he's been up against superior opposition, really. Normally when

Lleyton would come into a match against Lopez, you would expect him

to put a lot of returns back into play but he hasn't been allowed to

do so. To Lopez's credit, he has been extremely consistent off the

ground. Often we will find him make mistakes, unforced errors, they have

not appeared at all today. I think perhaps Hewitt has gone about it in

a way that hasn't helped him as much as it might have. He has played to

Lopez's backhand persistently. The Spaniard has gotten into a nice with

them. Maybe he needs to play a little more to Lopez's forehand. And

then counterpunch into the backhand. That if he can get his service

delivery back. You've got nice, new tennis balls to serve with. Ten

times he has finished in the top 50 in the past 11 years. He's a man who

knows how to close matches, for sure.

It could have been an awkward return.

He hasn't done much one today, that's for sure.

Well, that's the sort of return you might have expected.

Lopez has not put a foot wrong. He has served dominantly and followed

it up with high percentage tennis. Straight through the pace, just

about a centimetre or so above the net. It looks as though he will at

least make Lopez serve for it. That's the first part of the job

done. Davis Cup hero for Australia, he's

been an -- been in a few situations before. Lopez will serve for it. I

see Neil has been joined by Mike Dixon, with his back to us there.

Talking to our old friend, Chris Kermode, the boss of the ATP Tour.

Stephen Farrell now running it as the MD in the tournament, player

liaison, Ross Hutchins as well. It's the new setup. He has left it in

good hands, and he had a lot to say about how it should be run going

forward. But I've hardly seen Chris, I've known him since I was ten or

11. He's busy now, he's got a proper job. He's a bit of a Cinderella

story! What is it, executive director of the ATP Tour? I was just

thinking that, and that's why I said boss. Chairman? He has faked a phone

call to get away from everybody! He has been to most every tournament

this year. He has travelled a lot. The crowd filling up, getting ready

for Andy Murray. The first time he will be back on British soil.

Aha! Just to put the pressure on a little more. This is a rare treat,

to win the first point. He did his best. Too strong, too

good from the Spaniard. A lovely controlled lob, reading of

the backhand. Didn't come in enough. Well done again, Lopez, I have to

say. Ordinarily, that approach would be enough the majority of the time

but today, Lopez has been flawless off the ground.

He gets his first victory over the four-time champion in straight sets.

A first victory and a first play absolutely easily. A delight. Three

times a quarterfinalist at Wimbledon and he's certainly a factor on the

grass, both here and in two weeks time at Wimbledon. It's a fond

farewell to a worthy champion here. Lleyton Hewitt donated his first

service game, got off to a bad start. But after that it was all

Lopez. He really played a flawless match.

STUDIO: A great performance from this man, 32 now, but still showing

his force to be reckoned on grass. Next up, everyone will be rushing to

their seats here. Andy Murray, the defending champion, the Wimbledon

champion on court against Paul-Henri Mathieu. A wonderful afternoon of

tennis in this glorious sunshine. We have Stan Wawrinka later in the

afternoon and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who everyone loves to watch. Seeded

five year, a former Wimbledon semifinalist. So much to look

forward to. Murray is on next. First, let's hear from Feliciano

Lopez. Many congratulations, your first

victory over Lleyton in a rivalry that goes back over a decade. You

must feel great. Finally I was able to beat him. I played great, that

was why I beat him today. Everything was working perfectly, my game was

working great today. To be honest, he is a difficult game for me. We

played many times and he's always beat me. I have to be proud of this

win today. Not a single break point against your serve on the whole

match. Your serve is really operating well. It's really working

good. I was serving every angle, very good today. Against Lleyton,

one of the best returners in the game. I think that was probably the

key of the match, that I was serving very good and I didn't give any

chance with my serve. Our commentary team were saying they thought that

must have been one of the best archers you played on grass perhaps

in your career, would you go along with that? I agree, one of the best,

if not the best. I completely agree. Many congratulations and onto the

next round. Thank you very much Feliciano Lopez!

STUDIO: Here they come, so much pressure, so much expectation. It's

the title all the players want to win. These guys of friends of the

court but the moment they step out there, forget it! A hugely exciting

moment. What happens at Wimbledon is incredible. Wimbledon 2014, it's

anyone's game. Starts Monday the 23rd, the first

man on court will be the defending champion, Andy Murray. He has some

business to do here, defending his title at the Queen's Club, up

against Paul-Henri Mathieu. Everyone getting their seats on Centre Court,

ready for the return of Andy Murray in his grasscourt season. Are you

all right there, Andy? I'm making sure I don't look too fat on air!

Where were we? The things I have to put up with! Before we talk about Mr

Murray and Mr Mathieu, let's talk about Lleyton Hewitt. Lopez, superb.

Lleyton Hewitt, what a great champion. Looking at what he has

done. The youngest ever world number one at 20. He won his 600th tour

match in March this year. He's got so much to be proud of, but not at

his best today. He likes playing. He hates losing and just loves hitting

the tennis ball. I remember when he won in Adelaide in eight -- 98. He

beat a gassy, he was 16. He's been inspired so many times. If you can't

get the ball back then you can't play. Against Lopez, he just

couldn't get the ball back on this occasion. I think Lopez probably

beat Gulbis, if Gulbis wins his first Mathieu.

Lopez, a superb performance, no one is going to want him in the draw,

are they? He is serving well. Looking ahead to Wimbledon, the

Wimbledon wildcard have been announced. We have had a little look

at them. Did Lloyd get one in the over 80s? Sadly not.

British players go through, James Ward, Dan Evans, Dan Cox. Kyle

Edmund outside the 250 cut-off in his ranking. No real surprise there.

I don't think so, they are all justified. With Kyle Edmund, it

comes down to the people in charge. When you get a younger player that

is perhaps outside the rankings, not only do they deserve it but are they

going to take advantage of it in a way where they are not disputing

about the money? Kyle Edmund is the real deal. He is not someone who is

going to take the Wimbledon wildcard as a right to get. He will look at

it that this is the last time he will want a wildcard, he will now on

want to be straight in the draw. What the LTA have done with all the

different criteria they've put on players, with the funding and the

selection for wildcards, they are much tougher in making people really

motivated. And the first round prize-money,

?27,000 or something. It can keep a player going for the whole year

financially. It's very important for them. If people are working in the

right way and getting results, why not give them to the British

players? The big deal as far as Britons are concerned is Michael

Downey, the new chief executive, coming to report to the media this

Friday. He is expected to announce that Bob Brett is going to take over

on the high performance, not take over but, having had a good look at

the high-performance centres and whether they are fulfilling their

function or not and operating properly or not, he's going to

report on what he thinks. He thinks. He's been around the game for a long

time, so that'll be the next big talking point away from the actual

tennis. But we've heard it all before. Whenever we

tennis. But we've heard it all each year it is the same old stuff.

I think the solutions are fairly straightforward myself. With what?

For underachievement over the years, which has been failure in many ways.

I'm just calling the tennis shots and letting people get on with it.

You've got to get that motivation but you've got to give players

enough, enough money and funding to be able to support themselves. It's

expensive. It is. It will be in the headlines again when players go out

and how much they earn in the first round at Wimbledon, but what people

don't understand is what it costs throughout the year. James Ward and

players like that, they are making almost nothing in these challenges.

This sort of prize money can keep them going for three, four, five

months travelling. If you totalled the prize money up throughout the

year, it is not a lot. The Grand Slams, the money is justified. Those

guys are really professional. All they've got the wildcards, everyone

is an absolute pro-. Too often it is said... It's true to say the players

need to take their personal responsible for themselves and their

performance, they've got all the solidity is. But if they get given a

wrong advice at ten, 11 or 12 years old and get put with the wrong

people, people who are not good enough to be with them or don't know

enough or are not charismatic enough, their tennis gets ruined.

That is what has happened too many times. I hope that is what Bob Brett

comes up with. The guys you saw listed there and the women as well,

they deserve them. We will talk about the women in a moment. Those

challengers, if you win one match in a challenge you win less than ?500.

James Ward one $500. He doesn't need a wildcard. His bank

balance is OK. No trouble there! He is walking on to court for his

opening match here. I'm sure he will be happy to get back on the grass,

he loves the grass courts. A massive ovation for the defending champion,

the Wimbledon champion. We will never forget last summer and that

afternoon when he won at Wimbledon. 77 years we had to wait for

Wimbledon champion. He held his nerve, that last game against

Djokovic will live in my memory for a long time! 11 and that afternoon

when he won at Wimbledon. 77 years we had to wait for Wimbledon

champion. He held his nerve, that last game against Djokovic will live

in my memory for a long time! , four ladies wildcards have been

announced. We are ready for Andy Murray to

start the defence of his title, up against Paul-Henri Mathieu.

That is a brilliantly worked point from Murray.

A beautiful shot. It's really tough to play for me because he can mix it

up pretty well and is already a top player. It's going to be difficult.

That's it, a third title at Queen's Club for Andy Murray.

Very few people know Andy Murray better than Boss Hutchins, as a

friend, tournament director here now, but as somebody who has played

alongside him for many years. We've just seen Andy winning here and

Wimbledon last year, have you detected any change in him as a

person as a result of that? Andy has been the same for many years. Always

a relaxed of God guy who enjoys spending time with his family and

friends. On court he has been very hard-working and spend the hours in

the gym. I think nothing has changed inside him. He's more comfortable

with himself, knowing what he has achieved the last 12 months,

including the Olympic gold. As a person, he has not changed. He is

always relaxed of court and on court he is the competitive man who wants

to win every single point that he plays. His team has been augmented

now by Amelie Mauresmo and this is the first match that she will be

part of. Were you surprised by the appointment? I was not surprised

that it was slightly unusual because if you look at his previous coaches,

they have always been first-time coaches. I was not surprised. I did

not know he was speaking to Amelie Mauresmo. I don't know her. I met

yesterday for the first or second time and she was very calm and

soothing to talk to. I have heard that from other coaches. They

respect her. Ultimate class. She knows the game really well and is so

successful on the grass courts. Really good to talk to her and

understand her thoughts about Andy. She has really good plans and one

thing to do well and she understands his game tactic and mentally. How

wide was a consultation process? Do you think it was Andy and Andy?

Probably three or four people. I don't know. Probably Andy and his

mum, who are very close. He will have spoken to a couple of coaches

who he has known over the years, with whom he has a close

relationship on tour, who understands tennis and what Andy

once. I imagine he will have spoken to them and they will have been very

clear. He was looking for a female coach, someone with a different

point of view, with a different history of tennis, who sees the game

in a different way and can implement that side of things going forward.

One final point. It is odd for you now because you want him to win as a

friend, colleague and team-mate, and now as tournament director, you want

him in the tournament for as long as possible. I have to sit on the fence

but everybody loved him. He is a big draw for us here. A great grass

court player. But it this way, I hope he does well. Good to talk to

you. Thanks, John. What a winning streak

Andy has on grass. Since he lost to Roger Federer, he has won 80 matches

including Olympic gold and the Wimbledon title. It was when he

cried at the end of that one, and he demonstrated that human streak, I

think everybody related completely to him. That was the last time that

he lost. That moment when he creased up and really demonstrated what was

inside him. I think people who did not know him before really felt in

love with him then and since then unbeaten on grass. It was when he

won his first match this time last year, if you were looking at a horse

in a paddock, you think, do they look right? He looked absolutely

right. This is an important match. We expect him to win it but look at

indicators and the commentary will demonstrate that as well. Just see

what he is looking like this year. demonstrate that as well. Just see

what he is looking like Last year although he looked right, he wasn't.

He hadn't been. He had missed the clay-court season and his back

injury was a problem. It was not the ideal build-up. He needed some wins

last year. This year he would love to win the tournament and there is

no reason why he shouldn't. He has those matches in the bank, from the

semifinals at the French. It is always fascinating to watch him on

grass. The way he just carves up opponents. I love to see the drop

shots, the change of pace with the slice, the backhand down the line

that goes behind the opponent. He has so many different varieties in

his game and it is fun to watch him. A fascinating player. Just look at

him! I hope people can see it on the TV. We sometimes wonder if you can

hear the ball being struck. Just to see him physically, the size of

him, the proportion. He is an athlete in his prime. After surgery

not everybody comes back 100%. 99.5% is not good enough. In the last

couple of is not good enough. In the last

weeks, he has demonstrated that he is back in his prime. He

weeks, he has demonstrated that he Mathieu. This will be a test today

though. Yes, 32 years old but he has only ever won one set of Andy

Murray. And grass is not his favourite. And on the last few

occasions, Andy Murray has chopped him up. But there is always that

little thing that comes in on grass, which makes Queen's fascinating.

Andy Murray can get worried about the movement on the grass at the

back of the court. We don't have the weather conditions of last year, so

hopefully none of that. If he stands five feet behind the baseline, his

lips, he looks around, he has some doubts. Hopefully not this time. --

he slips. You have to change your whole approach. Absolutely, step in

at least six inches, take the ball earlier. If he starts defending too

much, and gets onto the lime green grass, even though it is Wednesday

and we have had plenty of play, with a bit of luck he will be playing up.

I don't like and sliding around at the back. We need him for the rest

of the season! So does Mauresmo! And attacking game is what we are

looking for. The pictures in the papers tomorrow will be Andy and

Amelie. We want you to contact our team tomorrow. Police send in any

observations about the tournament on Twitter. -- please send in. Let me

hand now to Cotter good afternoon. Because the Davis Cup tussles have

been away from home, this is Andy Murray's first match in the UK since

that magical day at Wimbledon last July. What a setting for a return. A

nice opener for him. Paul-Henri Mathieu will serve to get us under

way. A nice start for Mathieu. He has

been as high as 12 in the world. Just inside the top 100.

I thought Andy Murray was bending over in discomfort but it is just a

rogue shoelace. One of his best shots. Plenty of

them, obviously, but that backhand down the line. Gets behind his

opponent with that shot so well. A point he could have, should have

won. He did not get his feet behind the ball and was very awkward.

Another indication of Murray's defensive abilities, getting that

lob up in the air and picking his opponent play one more shot. Very

annoying to play against. Paul-Henri Mathieu must have thought

at 40-0 that he was settling into the match and that all was well.

Break point with the champion. Five straight points Andy Murray and

he breaks in the opening game. Mathieu, when you have a losing

record of 5-0, not good, but the last four have been straight sets

and very comfortable. He was playing well, he started off well, and then

the balls started coming back at him in awkward positions. Then he goes

outside his comfort zone, then he starts going for too much and the

errors come. Very good start for Andy Murray.

Just forcing the issue. The right shot, he had to come in, but too

fast. Trying to make it so good against Andy Murray otherwise the

passing shot would come down at his feet.

All too easy for Andy Murray at the moment. A fabulous return of serve

and unfortunately Murray improvises, shortens up the backswing and guides

it down the line. Next minute, on top of the net. Not doing much for

the French man's confidence. He has not played badly but he has lost one

game and is down 40-0. That was better.

That ends the run of eight consecutive points for Murray.

UMPIRE: Game, Murray. Murray leads two games to love.

A chance for Andy Murray to get going on the grass and forget that

he was ground down by Rafa Nadal in the French Open. A confidence

booster, to put that extraordinary performance by Rafa Nadal behind

him. That part of the court gives him

some success. He did say well after that slip. He

got back up and got there. It would have been an easy shot if he had not

slipped. But he grabbed his racket in time and managed to get this

across court. He did well to get that angle.

So Paul-Henri Mathieu gets a game on the board. Not happy with his feet.

Andy Murray looking fairly comfortable so far. The number three

seed. On an 18 match winning streak on grass, given his win at Wimbledon

and here last year. Because of those wins, people have been asking us

questions. You can contact us at the BBC website and Twitter and

Facebook. People have asked if he would be in the top four see that

Wimbledon and he will be because they make adjustments for the grass.

I don't know if he will be three or four but it is drawn out of a hat so

it does not matter. The important thing is to be seeded top four to

avoid the big guns in the quarterfinals. He will be fine.

Wawrinka will suffer, I think. Andy Murray should be three, I think, and

Roger Federer four. If my maths are correct. Stanislas Wawrinka, the

world number three, might slip down. It is fair enough that Wimbledon

adjusts to grass because it is so seldom played on.

I will be interested to see if in tougher matches or if he gets

frustrated if Andy Murray will be turning to Amelie Mauresmo. Ivan

Lendl just sat there. And he has dark sunglasses on, too, so you

could not see what his eyes were saying.

Please take any seat for now, ladies and gentlemen.

You never know who he is aiming that at. He does not name people.

So good from Mathieu. Gorgeous topspin volley. Right at the back of

the ball. Good disguise. If you are going up against Andy

Murray, one of the places where you have a chance to get ahead in the

rally is the second serve. He has not yet one over 90 mph yet. He is

vulnerable on the second serve. Paul-Henri Mathieu is still not

happy with his footing. UMPIRE: Game, Murray. Murray leads

three games to one. Nearly a full house here. The first

appearance of Andy Murray, the defending champion, three times a

winner here. In between his wins, he has struggled a bit. In a good

position against Mathieu. UMPIRE: A talent has been called.

The ball was called out. -- a challenge has been called.

Not the best shot selection now. Murray had already read that

attempted drop shot. It would have been a piece of cake if it had gone

over. Murray was a bit unlucky. In all

probability he would have had break point but for that poor call. Maybe

he'd be up a double break by now. The French Open, it was so

impressive before that game against Nadal. Nadal get 10% stronger,

Murray drops by 10%. Put it behind you and look at the championship as

a whole. You look at it purely as a positive. In my opinion, he looked a

step slower than Nadal. I think the accumulation... With the lack of

match as his patented surgery coming into the French Open. He needed a

big tournament and he got it. I think he would look, and everybody

should look, at the positives of getting through to the semifinals.

Yes, he got demolished there but there were a number of reasons,

apart from the dog being the greatest clay-court player of

all-time I think he was visibly a bit tired. If he is in pretty robust

health. The grass court season, he will come alive, very interesting to

see this year at Wimbledon, very different type of attention.

Tub serving at that end, just checking that the sun isn't in that

position -- tough. They didn't have that problem last year, there wasn't

any son, -- sunshine, you didn't have to worry about throwing the

ball, all you saw were clouds. Definitely moving into the court on

that second serve. Getting the first good striking off the backhand and

allowing himself to get into the position where he can cope with the

big winner on the second shot. -- go for.

Cruising through another service game. He does love it here, Murray.

This is where a lot of people first saw his talent, back in 2005. He had

a good run as a young man, 18 years old. Eventually lost to Thomas

Johansson, but it was clear there was a star in the making.

Specific grass court shoes on Mathieu's feet.

You would have thought that if he was worried about the equipment, he

has had a day to get things done, because he won the first round. It

is not like this is his first match. Like you are saying, you get forced

into chasing those lines against a very good player.

Yes, you start going close to the line, you know what is coming back

at you when you play against Murray. was overruled by the umpire. I don't

think the linesman had called that. And it is a good overrule, to see

that far line from the umpire's chair on a grass court without a

mark, that is pretty good umpiring. Well played by Murray but read well

by Paul-Henri Mathieu. Defensive work again from Murray, getting to

that ball and almost getting away with it. But a very good half-volley

from Mathieu. That one, he hit too early. He

anticipated whether Serb was going and didn't time it right. -- where

the serve was going. In the end, it is a hold for-macro

too. Just one break behind. -- for In the end, it is a hold for-macro

Paul-Henri Mathieu. We talk about the coaching, a lot of talk about

Amelie Mauresmo, a lot of attention on her, but I always feel with

Murray that it is a big team. The coach is just a figurehead, it is

the whole team that is his coaching setup. I don't know what role Amelie

Mauresmo is going to play, just a sounding board, someone to bounce

things off? When she get to a certain level, you are almost

coaching yourself. -- once you. You are, but as I was saying in the

studio, even the great players have little self-doubts at crucial points

in Grand Slams, it can happen. And if you have a Grand Slam winner in

your corner who has been there and done it and can sympathise with what

you are feeling and maybe give a few words of what might the difference

-- make the difference in those circumstances, it is such a small

amount, the difference between the top players, one or two points here

and there and if she can impart a couple of things on big occasions

that he might want to hear and might need to hear, it might make the

difference. She obviously imparted something on Marion Bartoli last

year, she was so impressive in winning Wimbledon. She has had some

experience of coaching one of the men, Michael LLodra, during a grass

court season. And that is what we are going to have here, grass court

season and then to be reviewed after that.

A little wave of apology. You never know what is going to happen when

you hit the net cord, it can bounce up nicely and you can whack it away

or it can drop over like that and you have no chance.

Wonderful shot to finish it and to bring Andy Murray closer to this

first set. I have a quick quiz for you, going to test you at the change

of ends. Murray, in winning the Queen's Wimbledon double last year

became the seventh man to complete that double in the same year. I

would ask you for as many as you can think of, John. Please, don't.

A mistake from Mathieu and it brings a set point for Andy Murray.

That is a good putt away from Paul-Henri Mathieu, because, again,

Andy Murray asks one more question. He did well, because he missed an

easy overhead earlier in the set than this one. This one seemed to

hang in the air for an eternity. Called out, corrected by the umpire,

and a winner for Murray. Mathieu just gave Murray a chance there.

He did well there, good sneak attack, good instincts from the

Frenchman. Not going away yet, Paul-Henri

Mathieu. Again, just one break the drift. John, you have had some time,

it was quite a long game. Last year, Andy Murray became the seventh man

to repeat the -- achieve the Queen's Wimbledon double in the same year.

Who are they? I can think of Boris Becker, Pete Sampras, Lleyton

Hewitt, Andre Agassi - no, not Andre Agassi. Jimmy Connors? Oh, there we

go. Rafa? Obviously Andy Roddick didn't. John McEnroe, Boris Becker,

Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras, Rafael Nadal and then Andy Murray. Not a

bad group. What time is it? 2:50 p.m., plenty

late enough. Actually, Jimmy Connors is going to be part of the BBC

Wimbledon team this year. That will be lively. Yes, it is always likely

with Jimmy. A few interesting opinions. Now, Andy Murray to serve

for this first set. He has spent a bit of time on the

grass here. That was the nastiest one, but he is OK. He has had some

problems with his knee in his career, Mathieu.

Good rhythm on the serve. 66% now, first serves. This brings up two set

points. You can see there, on the point of

return of serve, he went around with his two-handed backhand, that is his

best shot. So there we are, I match that has

yet to spark into real life but so far, so comfortable for Andy Murray.

He takes the first set. A match. SUE BARKER: So, first said to the

defending champion, and we will be straight back with the start of the

second set, -- first set. We will bring you up-to-date with a couple

of other results. A bit of a shock on Court Number One, Ernests Gulbis,

who had such a good run at the French Open, is out, losing to Kenny

De Schepper, who reached the fourth round at Wimbledon last year, losing

to Fernando Verdasco. So Ernests Gulbis is out. And Radek Stepanek is

through. So the winner of the match on Centre Court will face this man,

the 35-year-old from the Czech Republic, who defeated Bernard

Tomic, whose horrible run in 2014 continues. He has been out of sorts,

has had a double hip surgery and is failing to win matches, so his

struggles continue. But Radek Stepanek, the former world number

eight, is through and will face the winner of the match on Centre Court,

and that is where we are heading back to.

He has been around a long time no, Radek Stepanek, and he could cause

problems for Andy Murray should he make it through. Was there anything

in that first set that Mathieu could offer to worry Murray? He did well

to hang in have to the first break, you thought Murray had some chances

for the double break but he held his serve. But Murray has served pretty

well, with a high first serve percentage, but he didn't have to do

anything spectacular, he was just solid. That is all it took to win

that set. Mathieu is gambling, making a lot of errors, but trying

to force the pace and he has to do that, otherwise he has no chance.

Just settling down for the start of the second set. Paul-Henri Mathieu

to serve. Such a difficult shot from Mathieu,

a drop shot that is fading away and he has to run in there, there is a

big grip change on the forehand, has to get his racket under the ball to

get that one back in court. UMPIRE: Mr Murray is challenging the

call. Murray was instant with his

challenge. He thinks it might be good. No.

That is well played. Good rally and a good winner by Mathieu.

UMPIRE: Mr Murray has two challenges remaining.

The matches beginning to come to life perhaps now. The crowd

appreciated that -- the match is beginning to come to life. Murray

working hard in the London son. Some excellent shots, both players

working the ball around. Good covering from Murray.

Mathieu holds to start the second set. It is more than this, there is

a match to win, but I think Murray will appreciate a good run out of

just testing or facets of his game. -- all facets. It is the start of a

long run for Murray on the grass. Just to see how everything is

playing, how everything is feeling. The good

playing, how everything is feeling. thing is, he has got those matches

in the tank from a French Open. It is a different surface, but it is

still matches, and he won a lot of them, so he is in a good position

now if he can have a good run here and a weak's rest, he will be ready

to go at Wimbledon. Not a total weak's rest, but maybe a couple of

days and then get back to business -- week's rest.

His first serve seems to be working pretty nicely. 67%. He would take

that right now for the whole of Wimbledon. It is a good percentage.

Brings the quick points. Tidy game from Andy Murray. Finished

off that service game in 38 seconds. Mathieu. Andy yet to double fault in

this match but four for the Frenchman.

Worrying now for Mathieu. A spring in the step of Andy Murray.

Good recovery, good disguise on that serve.

Outstanding. Very good serve. Murray did well to dig that one back

somehow. Nice disguise, shortened backswing.

Mistake from Mathieu brings up another break point for Murray.

To go. Excellent point. Wonderful play from Paul-Henri Mathieu. He

stayed in this point. He didn't panic. A lot of balls coming back at

him, break point down, but he was nice and composed.

Mathieu close to holding serve. This has not been a 38 second game.

SUE BARKER: Some great tennis in that game. The tennis is hotting up.

We know that the winner will face Radek Stepanek, the 15th seed who

defeated Bernard Tomic. He has been talking to John. You must be pretty

encouraged. Yes, it is always great to have a couple of matches under my

belt. Coming from a long play season. I am pleased with it and I

hope I can get some more. I noticed the first thing you did when you sat

down was to get out your phone and take a selfie. Do you always do

that? No, I don't, I just felt like taking a selfie after winning and it

was my first time. Do you always have photographs taken after an

interview? He is taking a picture now. Over there. And your next

match, if you want to pull up some trees now, probably Andy Murray. I

think he is playing right now. If he wins, it will definitely be a

challenge for me to play him in such a great tournament like Queen's. It

will be an honour and I will prepare for that match like I have done

until now and try to do my best. We can see that you are sweating a lot.

This is England, June, Queen's Club. How about it! Ever since I came from

the Czech Republic, it has been sunny so I think I brought it from

our country and I hope the weather stays like that. It is great for the

players and even better for the spectators. Well done. Thank you.

Andy Murray's first double fault of the match. Selfies during matches

will be next! Those are the sort of mistakes you

cannot make 0-15, second serve. He just rolled that into the top of the

net. Just a matter of time before he gets

the breakthrough on Mathieu's serve. An excellent second serve from

Mathieu. Murray stepping in to try and do something and he kicked it

out so wide, right on the line. The court comes to life. All to no

avail in the end. That was a great point. Laughing? Just a grimace.

That is what he does all that sprinting in Miami for, to not win a

point! He has done well with the drop shots

from Murray, anticipating well. Paul-Henri Mathieu keeps his nose in

front in the second set. Keeping Murray honest. Keep your questions

coming in. You can send them to us through Twitter and the BBC website.

We have discussed this beforehand but the wild cards will be

discussed. Jack sends in this question. What is your opinion of

the wild cards that have been announced so far? A lot have gone to

British players. Deserved? I think they were all justified. The obvious

ones are Dan Evans and James Ward. Absolutely no question about that

after their Davis Cup. Dan Evans has shown the potential he has got and

he is a hard worker. Dan Cox has been around for a while but has had

a good season. The difference here compared to other years when there

have been British wild cards, you had the feeling that some were wild

card players, counting on it, expecting it, and not making full

use of it. I don't mean just winning a match but they were not the

hardest workers. Now all the chaps that have got them this year

deserves it. Quick fire service game for Andy

Murray. What are you looking for from Andy Murray for the rest of

this championship and Wimbledon? First of all, attitude. That looks

to be spot on. He had a very good French Open and he looks eager and

fit. You look at part of his game and the first server is very

important for Andy Murray when he plays well. Now he is at 72% for the

total, so in good shape. His mood, his attitude on the court, he is

feeling the ball well. He is so brilliant on grass. His variety is

so immense. He loves this surface, it is tailor-made for him.

The pace on this approach shot from Mathieu was there but not the

direction. To close into Andy Murray's comfort zone and he will

not miss many of those passing shots where he takes that stride with the

perfect balance. That slice backhand that Murray

hits, a lot of players hit it when they have no choice to and often

there is no bite, it does not go through the court, it sits. But

Murray's backhand slice has bite, it goes low, through the court and is

deadly to play against. This will be a chance for Murray.

Talking about that slice backhand, that was on the Nadal improved on

when he first came over on grass. He had a weakness and has improved it

now. There it is. Miscued by Mathieu and

Andy Murray has that important game in the second set.

Murray's servers at 72%, very impressive. The second server is

still in the 80s and I would like him to flatten it out, but if nobody

is hurting you, so what? What he has improved a lot on in his serve is

direction. He always had a big first serve but it tended to be in the

forehand court. The backhand court was out wide, particularly on the

big points. But now he has really improved the wide serve on the

forehand side and the one swerving away down the middle on the backhand

side. He uses the body serve a fair amount as well. He has really

improved his serving in all areas. Occasionally the second serve sits a

little bit. Hat of the day! Very warm out there and a good

forecast for the week. Friday will be in the high 20s.

Second serve only 82 mph. Two in a row, the second serve has been

punished. That hat is a contender. It is how the very best players

respond under pressure. It seems to focus their minds a bit more.

He sort of decelerated on that second serve, really.

That is what he likes to do on the break points, the backhand side.

Thumps it. 132 mph on that one. No messing about.

the second set. That might have been the last chance for Paul-Henri

Mathieu. Andy Murray is the third seed because Tomas Berdych is two

and Stanislas Wawrinka number one. They would meet in the semifinals if

they get that far. Not too many aces from Paul-Henri

Mathieu but that was timely. Out wide Mathieu has had some

success. Beautifully judged an Paul-Henri

Mathieu lives to fight another game. -- and. It is only a matter of time,

we suspect, but Paul-Henri Mathieu's extending that time and

giving Murray a bit more of a run out. We mentioned that it Murray

should go through to the semifinals, Tomas Berdych, Wawrinka,

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, it is very strong. A very good draw indeed, it

is. His next match if he gets through this, Radek Stepanek, is not

easy either. The whole field is littered with some very good grass

court players, to put it mildly. Grigor Dimitrov looked good

yesterday. He looked wonderful and we haven't even talked about

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, there are a lot of very good and dangerous players

out here. He just looked at his watch.

Anyway... A few first serves here, should be OK. Good effort from the

Frenchman, though, he has hung in there. He looked like he would go

away easily a couple of times but he has kept it reasonably close.

It was only 100 mph, but it was so wide, there is no chance of getting

that. The odd cry of frustration from

Murray, he knows there is room for improvement, but by and large, this

has been efficient. Just a flash of defiance from

Mathieu. There it is, it is good enough from

Andy Murray and the defending champion is through. Not too much

fuss or fanfare, he eases through to the last 16. Yes, a solid

performance, he served very well, never looked in any trouble. He

broke after the first service game from Mathieu and after that, pretty

much plain sailing. He moved well, plenty of variety in his game. He

looked good. It is always difficult to tell. He has not

looked good. It is always difficult tested. But Paul-Henri Mathieu, very

decent player, but there will be protests to come for Andy Murray. --

tougher tests. He will be going through to play Radek Stepanek, who

is also playing the doubles today. Everyone waiting here to hear the

thoughts of Andy Murray and he is going to be sharing those thoughts

with John now. Andy, many congratulations, after

all the exertions of the red clay in Europe, is this the Green Green

grass of home? Yes, obviously I always enjoy coming back here, I

play some of my best tennis here. It is the place I got my first win on

the tour when I was 18, so I have great memories. I must ask you about

France, you wore a cap to conceal the unruly hair, you say, and lots

of people like the new hairstyle. That is good, it gets the number,

does it? I keep it short for a while. What did you think your new

coach will have made of that today? I don't know, I will go and speak to

her and see what she thinks. It was a good start, I think. I served

pretty well. I thought both of us played a pretty good match. He

didn't return so well but most of us moved well and there were some good

rallies. If I could ask you to stay there and ask everyone to stay in

their seeds, we have a very important presentation to make,

which Andy will make on behalf of the players. This tournament, Aegon

International, has been voted the best 250 tournament on the entire

ATP Tour. That award has gone to the tournament in Stockholm for the last

ten years, so what they have done this year, or didn't do last year, I

don't know, but what Queen's have done, we will find out shortly. I

will ask Andy to present that trophy to Ross Hutchins and Stephen Farrow,

the managing director of the tournament and Chris Kamara, who is

now the boss of the whole of the ATP. We will have a chat about where

it sits -- Chris commode. Queen's won an award yesterday for being the

best tournament on the entire tour for player welfare, and now this as

well, it is raining trophies. I am a bit embarrassed that you are talking

to me, you should be talking to Chris, who was the tournament

director last year, but it is some credit for how special this

tournament is, the courts and the stands, and we have such phenomenal

grass court seer and I am very pleased to be working with Graham

now. We have such a great tournament and everyone seems to appreciate it

and this award, we are very proud of it. I ought to mention Graham, the

head groundsman. This is his private lawn here. I must ask you one

question, I suspect... I suspect quite a few people in a crowd here

have their own lawns back home, what is the secret of keeping a really

good lawn? Have your dad standing in the corner, I don't know! A really

good team, it is a team effort. Obviously 365 days a year, great

backing from the tournament and the club, so any equipment I'd need,

everything is on hand and we do the best job we can. Some people say

this grass court is better than Wimbledon, what do you say? That is

really not the metre say, is it? You and your team do a fantastic job. --

for me to say. Chris, the tournament director here for many years, this

is a nice feather in your cap, albeit retrospectively. I think it

is a recognition of what this event has built up over the years, the

rich tradition of this heritage of the event, and it is supported every

year, and it is bizarrely Sunday the first year I haven't done it. With

the change in the calendar next year, the importance of Queen's

increases in the context of the annual calendar. The ATP World Tour

250 series the one events in -- is 61 events in several countries, so

it is a 250 event but next year it becomes a 500 event and I think it

is duly deserved. Many congratulations to you and all of

the team, thank you to Andy for presenting the trophy.

Congratulations to the team, the club and to Andy Murray for getting

through to the next round. Thank you, one and all.

SUE BARKER: Yes, Chris has really built up this tournament and has

moved on to the ATP. I know Ross Hutchins will keep it as a much

loved venue. It is a very popular tournament with the players. So Andy

Murray, the defending champion, safely through in straight sets.

Earlier today, another seeded player through, Feliciano Lopez, a

three-time quarterfinalist at Wimbledon, through against Lleyton

Hewitt. Straight sets all the way at the moment, but a tough one coming

up and it is our first glimpse of the Australian Open champion. Big

moment of truth here. Wawrinka. A test of character coming up.

And that is it, Wawrinka elevate himself to Grand Slam champion. He

wins the Australian Open. Magnificent. A third Swiss to win a

major. SUE BARKER: The world number three

is a top seed here, he has only played once here before and lost in

the opening round to James Ward and has a tough opener against Marcos

Baghdatis. We are asking you who will win this match, you can vote on

the BBC website or you can go to Twitter and use these hashtags. The

full terms and conditions are on the website. It closes soon, you only

have a few minutes, so who is going to win. We will talk about that as

the players come on. John and Peter, let's talk a little bit about

Andy, a good start? I thought it was a good start, his first serve was

excellent, almost 70% in and he would take that tomorrow all the way

through Wimbledon. He moved very well, the ground strokes were good,

he used the shot selection we love to see. The only thing if you really

looked at it, maybe the second serve, non-them in the 90 mph area

-- anon of them. Someone like Mathieu, it won't harm him very much

but when you come up against the big guns, you need a bit more pace on

that server. That is what you have to do on grass, isn't it? I suppose,

but he has made it through his entire career with his second serve

that hasn't even been this powerful. He is such a great defender. OK, he

can improve his second serve, but it doesn't seem to hurt him that much,

does it? Especially on a grass court where I guess they return cannot get

quite as good a purchase on the return -- the returner. Maybe it

isn't even that important. There were some good rallies, it was a

Nice Open to get the feel of the grass. It was, Mathieu didn't go

away quickly. He lost that first service game and his record is so

bad against Andy, you thought he was going to go into a dive-bomb but he

played well, actually. Some good, long rallies and Murray did a lot of

moving, which is good. Mathieu has a pretty good serve and Murray worked

on his returns. The perfect first match, he did the business. He can

move up from there and he will need to, Radek Stepanek in the next

round, 35 years of age there but he has just beaten Bernard Tomic and

can still produce good matches. He still serves very well and moves

very well, especially for an old guy. He is incredibly athletic. He

is very athletic for any age, and he is going to have to serve very well.

Andy returned so well. From the back of the court, it is hard to see

where Radek Stepanek will hurt Murray, his grand streaks asked

solid and his timing is consistent -- his ground strokes are solid. But

Murray defends so well and he is so comfortable moving at the back of

the court. He looks good. Also, he looked very calm today and you know

he has got more gears and if he needs them, he can produce them. He

is a great match player, Murray. Definitely and it will be a step up

against Stepanek, he is a good grass court player and is a warrior. He

still plays doubles and his Davis cup record is incredible. He hangs

in there and I think he plays more tournaments than anyone on tour. He

does well a lot of the time and I think it will be a good match,

Murray will not take him easily, that is visual. That match will be

on tomorrow, but another major championship gets underway

tomorrow, the World Cup kicks off, and you can look forward to this.

What really separates the great from the good think it's all over. It is

now. Style? Of course. Artistry. Passion. That is a given. Learn from

your mistakes. Always think about what you missed. Never be satisfied

with what you have done. Whatever you do, do it with your heart. I

never thought about what I could get out of football. I just wanted to

play. Spain have surely won the World Cup!

It does kick off tomorrow, but Gary will be here tonight with a preview

show, at 10:35pm on BBC One. But here at the Queen's Club, we are

looking forward to our next match on Centre Court and Stan Wawrinka is up

against Marcos Baghdatis. There is Stan, the world number three, the

Australian Open champion, practising this morning at Queen's Club. And

right next door to his opponent, Marcos Baghdatis, former Australian

Open semifinal, Wimbledon semifinalist, ranked in the top ten

a few years ago. He has been battling injuries but is certainly

in form at the moment having won the challenge at Nottingham last week.

He has won six in a row on the surface and there is a certain

confidence you feel then. Yes, it is like playing a Wimbledon qualifier

in the first round, they have played three tough matches to get in there

and they are tournament tough and dangerous to play against. Someone

who has just won a tournament in Nottingham, six matches to win the

tournament, six or seven, and he will be in good shape and thinking

he has a good chance. On grass, he is very good on the surface,

Baghdatis, and I think he will fancy his chances. Stan is looking for his

first win in this tournament and it is not an easy opener. Let's hear

from him. Welcome to the Queen's Club. You

arrived here as a wildcard but immediately become top seed and I

suppose it was an easy decision when you knew you weren't going to be in

Paris that long to look forward to the grass. Yes, an easy decision,

for sure, after losing in the first round in Paris. It is important for

me to play a tournament before Wimbledon and this is the perfect

place to do it. I am happy that Ross gave me the wildcard and I am

thankful to have the chance to play here again after a few years. You

played here some years ago, only the once, and you arrived in a very

different situation to now. I remember, it was against James

Ward, the British player. What do you remember about that? It was a

tough match, but I remember a great tournament, it is one of the best to

play. It is a beautiful place to play here. James was a wildcard and

he played a good match against me, a tough, tough guide to play, so it

was a different situation. Let's see this year. It is always tough for me

to come back onto grass, never easy and I know I have the potential to

play really well, but sometimes it takes me a few matches to do that. I

hope I can win some matches here, have a great week and see how I can

play. You have already had an incredible year. No matter what

happens now, it has been wonderful. Winning the Australian Open title,

breaking that incredibly difficult task of all those top players who

usually win the grand slam titles. How has life been for you since you

were that grand slam title? It has been amazing, the start of the year

for me. After winning a slam, everything changes, that is for

sure, especially in tennis. So many new situations the me that I have to

deal with. It has been OK, some up and down in my results, not easy,

but I am still really happy with the way I am playing. I am trying to

focus to get some confidence back and I am really happy to be at

Queen's here and Wimbledon in two weeks. What are the main

differences, being a grand slam champion, when you come to

tournaments? More things to do outside of the tennis court. Less

and less time to think about your game, maybe and more people come to

watch you. Small changes, but at the end of the day, it is a new

situation and you need to deal with that, to put all of the pieces of

the puzzle together and I am trying to do it and we will see how it

turns out. What do you thing happened in Paris? A lot of things.
