:00:24. > :00:31.Much better, and it has to be, because he is feeling the squeeze a
:00:32. > :00:59.little bit. Life is so much nicer when you get your first serve in.
:01:00. > :01:11.I like guessing what the speed gun will come up with. It briefly
:01:12. > :01:21.suggested the last one was 155 mph, I thought better of it!
:01:22. > :01:44.We have talked about Andy Murray's second serve for a long time. And
:01:45. > :01:53.while players do not attack it more often. -- why? Now we are seeing
:01:54. > :02:15.Stepanek have great success with that.
:02:16. > :02:35.That is great. Again, that backhand down the line. In behind his
:02:36. > :02:47.opponent. Terrific. Two hands. We saw it several times yesterday. His
:02:48. > :03:02.second serve was a very deep. Well, anything you can do... ! Yes,
:03:03. > :03:08.the approach shot, just a little shot, not bad, but a spectacular
:03:09. > :03:25.pass. That was a great pick up by Stepanek
:03:26. > :03:34.at the other end. From a terrific passing shot by Murray. It was a
:03:35. > :03:41.commanding return. He somehow managed to get it back into an
:03:42. > :03:50.awkward position. But to no avail. This is a big point.
:03:51. > :04:39.Does he respond? Stepanek sliding around!
:04:40. > :04:52.Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, from Andy Murray! On top that time.
:04:53. > :04:53.And you could not have blamed Stepanek for thinking, I a great
:04:54. > :05:34.position here. A feeble second serve. He looked up
:05:35. > :05:50.at the sky as if you were distracted by a plane overhead!
:05:51. > :06:28.The familiar sound of the British summer, yelps of encouragement.
:06:29. > :06:35.It is not quite the previous game, but seven minutes of hard graft for
:06:36. > :06:43.Andy Murray. The first serve percentage declining
:06:44. > :07:49.rapidly. Still cannot do it. Stepanek has
:07:50. > :07:53.been very effective with the drop volleys. Forcing Murray in off the
:07:54. > :08:14.baseline. That meets with the approval of the
:08:15. > :08:33.crowd. That one had some pop!
:08:34. > :08:55.Finally. Just about ten minutes to do it. An important hold in this
:08:56. > :09:01.first set. A happy camp. But a little bit concerned about some
:09:02. > :09:30.ragged mistakes. Good stuff as well. Now the Stepanek serve.
:09:31. > :09:39.How is your football knowledge, Peter? Recognise the man the nearest
:09:40. > :09:55.of the camera? Stepanek could use him at the net!
:09:56. > :10:01.Petr Cech. We don't recognise him without his cap. The Chelsea
:10:02. > :10:08.goalkeeper. The Chelsea goalkeeper... For how
:10:09. > :10:09.much longer? You are right on top of the
:10:10. > :10:38.situation! Again, sensational from Andy Murray.
:10:39. > :10:48.He seemed to be out of that but a flash of billions gets himself right
:10:49. > :10:55.back in. -- brilliance. That is his special skill. His ability to flick
:10:56. > :10:59.the ball on the run into a tight little spot. A spectacular shot
:11:00. > :11:47.maker on the run. That is a big-time serve. A good
:11:48. > :12:03.response from Stepanek. When needed most.
:12:04. > :12:11.From 15-30, two back in control. So, Stepanek keeps his nose in
:12:12. > :12:20.front. Very little between these players at the moment. Stepanek does
:12:21. > :12:27.look strong, the 15 seed. He does. It is interesting, we saw
:12:28. > :12:35.Murray looking sharp yesterday against a primarily baseline
:12:36. > :12:43.player. Because he ordinarily defends against serve and volley so
:12:44. > :12:52.well we just assume that this is a walk in the park. Yet it has not
:12:53. > :13:00.proven to be thus far. Stepanek has been more consistent than we might
:13:01. > :13:05.have expected. But Andy Murray has not taken advantage of
:13:06. > :13:18.opportunities. No doubt, that will lead to improved in the coming
:13:19. > :13:26.weeks. -- need to improve. It is hot as well, and it will be
:13:27. > :13:40.even warmer tomorrow. Drive all the way -- dry, such a relief after the
:13:41. > :13:43.last few years. Andy Murray just needs to fire on also want us to
:13:44. > :13:54.keep the majority of the crowd here happy. -- on all cylinders. Serving
:13:55. > :15:35.to stay in the first set. defensive skills. You know that the
:15:36. > :16:02.approach has to be great, or just don't bother.
:16:03. > :16:56.A laser down-the-line. Look at the balance.
:16:57. > :17:25.That is a scary movie. Your first instinct is, please don't have been
:17:26. > :17:52.anything serious. Thankfully, it was not.
:17:53. > :18:08.They reasonably straightforward hold. It is certainly not looking
:18:09. > :18:43.like he is in anyway the stronger player, it is evenly matched.
:18:44. > :18:50.Sometimes that can really kick-start a service game, a gift of the first
:18:51. > :19:07.point. Andy Murray, looking to pounce.
:19:08. > :19:24.That is wonderful from Stepanek. First, to get to that overhead.
:19:25. > :20:03.Yes. Just capitalised on each opening.
:20:04. > :20:22.Stepanek is finding a nice rhythm now. He has been sold all the way
:20:23. > :20:33.through this first set -- solid. An impressive hold. Again, serving
:20:34. > :20:41.first, Stepanek knows that at the very least would be a tie-break for
:20:42. > :20:48.first, Stepanek knows that at the him. Helps put pressure on the
:20:49. > :20:51.Murray serve. He will want plenty of good run out before Wimbledon,
:20:52. > :21:01.Murray, and he wants to win as well. Three times a champion here.
:21:02. > :21:10.Here is a question. When he did so last year he become the first Briton
:21:11. > :21:18.to take hat-trick of crowns. Since one another. Not Fred Perry, not
:21:19. > :21:25.Austen. Roger Taylor?
:21:26. > :21:54.I am not sure you will get it. So I will tell you. Francis Golden hello.
:21:55. > :22:08.-- Gordon-Lowe. 1913, 1914, 1925. Oh, Franky!
:22:09. > :22:15.play here. But what Murray does is hang tough and wait for an opening.
:22:16. > :23:51.Serving to stay in the set. Just some extra stretch is creeping
:23:52. > :24:20.into his movement in between points, after that fall.
:24:21. > :24:42.He has been dominant when the first serve has gone into play.
:24:43. > :25:06.Slightly delayed call. Almost simultaneously he challenged. We
:25:07. > :25:22.will find out. It is out. So, it is set point for Stepanek.
:25:23. > :26:39.That is well played. I say! Safe, secure, aggressive.
:26:40. > :26:50.Murray. Stared down the set point and into a tie-break we will go.
:26:51. > :26:51.Murray is bouncing around on the baseline now. Chatting away to
:26:52. > :28:38.himself. A good time for just his second ace
:28:39. > :28:44.of the match. But it's not been confirmed, because stock exchange
:28:45. > :28:49.neck has asked the -- because Stepanek has asked the question. I
:28:50. > :28:51.think that might have been just a little... Let me take a moment here,
:28:52. > :29:26.break up the rhythm. A terrific backhand drive. Deep and
:29:27. > :30:23.heavy. Oh! A thing of beauty from Murray,
:30:24. > :30:31.if not for Stepanek. Wonderful to see. It wasn't a bad serve, but it
:30:32. > :30:37.looked as though Murray was just sitting on it. A shot to bring up
:30:38. > :30:59.the mini-break in this tie-break. The momentum with the champion. How
:31:00. > :31:04.many times have we seen Andy Murray just come up with moments o' of
:31:05. > :31:11.inspiration like that? When they're needed the most. It is part of his
:31:12. > :31:17.gift. It is fitting that such a close first set should have such a
:31:18. > :31:21.close tie-break, but one shot is to be the difference, that was
:31:22. > :31:46.something special, that return. Crucially the first serves are
:31:47. > :32:44.landing for Murray now, Stepanek on the back foot.
:32:45. > :32:51.Murray now beginning to pull away in this tie-break. Stepanek's serve,
:32:52. > :32:59.but set point to Murray. That is well played. The
:33:00. > :33:51.serve/volley. That was not in the plan. He has
:33:52. > :33:56.really struggled with his second serve thus far today. Still a set
:33:57. > :34:24.point. And creeping back ever further. Back
:34:25. > :34:49.on serve. Four set points, one remains, but on the Stepanek serve.
:34:50. > :35:02.That is good play from Stepanek from a deep ball on this tie-break. 2-6,
:35:03. > :35:07.Stepanek put two first serves in and came in behind them both. Murray on
:35:08. > :35:11.his two points double fault and then the second point perhaps to guard
:35:12. > :35:18.against another double fault just rolled in a meek first serve.
:35:19. > :35:25.Allowing Stepanek into the point and here we are, 6-6. It is giving the
:35:26. > :35:28.crowd something to get their teeth into here. The first set belongs to
:35:29. > :35:45.anybody. But he suffers the jitters now! That
:35:46. > :36:51.is a surprise. Well still Murray can't get there.
:36:52. > :36:58.The first set on a knife edge. This is good! You can feel the tension in
:36:59. > :37:31.here. Stepanek would like to have that
:37:32. > :37:33.two-hander back. It is not the shot he should have been going for in
:37:34. > :37:52.that situation. Amelie is learning what it is to be
:37:53. > :38:44.in the Murray camp! And again Murray, despite the
:38:45. > :38:51.occasional misshot has his moment of brilliance and one more will give
:38:52. > :39:04.him another set point. This what is we were expecting. In the nick of
:39:05. > :39:17.time, perhaps. Moments that are all it might take to win this set.
:39:18. > :39:24.UMPIRE: Mr Murray is challenging the call. An early loud call. This was
:39:25. > :40:26.clearly right. Wow! The crowd deflates. What a
:40:27. > :40:32.rally. Standing strong at the end of it, knowing any slip in that rally
:40:33. > :40:37.and he was out. Yeah, what a surprise that was, because we
:40:38. > :40:45.certainly didn't expect that sort of error from Murray. It just shows the
:40:46. > :40:57.pressure. Stepanek has managed to inflict
:40:58. > :41:00.enough pressure on Murray to stay in this first set. Still not a thing
:41:01. > :41:20.between these two players. Again the chance will come Murray's
:41:21. > :42:27.way. He is just looking for the one big
:42:28. > :42:34.shot. Murray can't believe he mistimed that return of serve. He of
:42:35. > :42:41.course expects to be immaculate on every return! I see in the corner to
:42:42. > :42:44.add to the drama, up with of ballgirls has been carried off. Very
:42:45. > :43:09.hot today. So Stepanek's moment then to have a
:43:10. > :43:53.set point. He's done it. Hasn't he Wen it well?
:43:54. > :44:06.Radek Stepanek takes the first set, a hard tussle, but he takes it 7-6.
:44:07. > :44:14.Somebody who maybe in a minority of three who is delighted thab first
:44:15. > :44:21.set is Petr Cech, the Chelsea goalkeeper. It is amazing how they
:44:22. > :44:24.play hard and spend more than an hour playing every point hard and
:44:25. > :44:28.you have to appreciate it. I have been sitting here and I'm draining,
:44:29. > :44:33.I feel like I'm in a shower, but I'm delighted with the result. That
:44:34. > :44:39.first set, high quality with the odd mistake. But it is the ebb and flow
:44:40. > :44:43.of game and every point is almost a penalty shoot-out. I think the
:44:44. > :44:51.standard of the game is brilliant. Some of Andy's shots are
:44:52. > :44:55.mind-blowing when you see it close and Radek is taking him to the game
:44:56. > :45:00.on his court. I think it has been one of best matches. You seem to
:45:01. > :45:06.have the build of the modern tennis player, taufl, left-handed, have you
:45:07. > :45:11.got a big-swinging serve? Can I do that obviously. Serve is my
:45:12. > :45:18.advantage, because of my size. But I would say over all I can go on the
:45:19. > :45:26.net, but my backhand is not up to scratch. Do you play tennis in a
:45:27. > :45:31.cap? We used to play when Carlo was around after training and we had
:45:32. > :45:38.good fun. He was a decent player and played as a kid. You would rather be
:45:39. > :45:43.in Brazil than at Queens? Well it us one thing I'm missing. I will be
:45:44. > :45:49.watching the game tonight and hopefully it will be brilliant for
:45:50. > :45:56.England and involved in Chelsea. Someone has whispered in my ear you
:45:57. > :46:03.have a new player next season. I don't know. Cesc fab gas. --
:46:04. > :46:09.Fabregas. It is confirmed. Well it is a great addition. Can Radek win
:46:10. > :46:14.now? Well, he took the game to Andy and let's see what is going to
:46:15. > :46:20.happen. If we have a play we are such a quality as Andy, he can
:46:21. > :46:27.always come back into the game. But he will have to work hard. OK. Work
:46:28. > :46:33.hard on your backhand! I will. Thank you. A mass influx and exodus of
:46:34. > :46:38.people, spectators taking their moment. The players have been ready
:46:39. > :46:44.for some time. The wrong time or the Andy Murray to dwell on what has
:46:45. > :46:50.just happened. These spectators just aren't fit enough! What is going on?
:46:51. > :46:58.Everybody is leaving. Very thirsty no doubt. They're still leaving. I
:46:59. > :47:05.mean they have been told a few times. UMPIRE: Sit please, thank
:47:06. > :47:10.you. Ready for play. A bit of wall tennis again. Something for the
:47:11. > :47:17.sponsors. They don't seem in any great hurry. Let's go to Petter Cech
:47:18. > :47:24.again. I think he sounded surprised by the Cesc Fabregas news. Any way,
:47:25. > :47:28.we are ready. Andy Murray a set down. There are still people coming
:47:29. > :47:42.in. I think he was worried that John was going to say you have been sold
:47:43. > :47:47.to Paris or something! Your football knowledge is - Paris St Germaine.
:47:48. > :47:58.Which will America do in the World Cup?
:47:59. > :48:01.Quite a tough group the United States, I can't remember who is in
:48:02. > :48:30.it. Well straightaway at the start of
:48:31. > :48:31.the second set, Stepanek is out and firing very quickly. Murray in a
:48:32. > :49:13.corner. Brilliant. Wonderful. Celebrates his
:49:14. > :49:18.own brilliance there. Plenty of running in those 35-year-old legs as
:49:19. > :49:30.well. Wow! The best point of the match by a good way. Certainly from
:49:31. > :49:52.Stepanek's perspective. Three break points.
:49:53. > :50:56.trouble here. Stepanek a set up, a break up. A deafening silence inside
:50:57. > :51:04.Centre Court at Queens, because the champion is in trouble.
:51:05. > :51:11.All praise to Radek Stepanek, because he is playing very well
:51:12. > :51:27.indeed. Absolutely. That was his best game of the match. Take notes
:51:28. > :51:34.furiously to work on. He took a towel break as Murray was building
:51:35. > :51:39.up a head of steam with his serves. In a grand position now, Stepanek.
:51:40. > :52:01.He is serving against one of best returners in the game.
:52:02. > :52:05.Still a long way to go in this match, even though Stepanek is up a
:52:06. > :52:32.set and a break. As long as he keeps doing that,
:52:33. > :52:42.Stepanek will be very hard to come back against. Stepanek has put 30
:52:43. > :52:57.first settest serves into -- first serves into play.
:52:58. > :53:07.Oh!. That is what happens when you're fatigued a bit mentally, a
:53:08. > :54:16.few unforced errors can creep in. Everything is relative, it is not US
:54:17. > :54:22.Open hot. Because the players have spent such a long time in Paris when
:54:23. > :54:39.it was cold and rainy, this is a shock to the system.
:54:40. > :55:41.That was impressive from Radek Stepanek, throwing in three aces
:55:42. > :55:51.there. There is a stunned feel about the
:55:52. > :55:55.crowd. This is not supposed to be they say. But there is never a
:55:56. > :57:02.guarantee that Murray will win, against a high quality opponent.
:57:03. > :57:18.good game. A quick game from Andy Murray. He does not want to let
:57:19. > :57:24.Radek Stepanek settled. -- saddle. Andy Murray, trying to fight to keep
:57:25. > :57:31.his title defence alive. We know who you will be playing, Kevin Anderson
:57:32. > :57:39.came through his match. That was match point. 7-6 in the final set.
:57:40. > :57:45.The number seven seed, Kevin Anderson, a struggle on court and
:57:46. > :57:52.won, he is through to the last eight to face Andy Murray or Radek
:57:53. > :58:01.Stepanek. Where he would be hoping to improve, where would that be, for
:58:02. > :58:11.Andy Murray, Peter? He needs to put a more returns play. -- a few more
:58:12. > :58:17.returns. That is not entirely in his own power, because Stepanek, he has
:58:18. > :58:22.shown us with his serving, a break point down, three big serves, he has
:58:23. > :58:29.shown that he is ready to rise to the occasion. I guess Andy Murray
:58:30. > :58:35.has made a couple more errors than we might have expected from him.
:58:36. > :58:46.There were key situations when he had passing shot, opportunities. He
:58:47. > :58:51.would be most disappointed with how insecure his second serve has been.
:58:52. > :58:52.Stepanek is taken advantage of some meet second serves and attacked
:58:53. > :59:15.them. -- meek second serves. It is all about the return of serve
:59:16. > :59:29.now. He needs to find a way to break through.
:59:30. > :59:36.A great sliding serve into the body. Andy Murray had no chance to get the
:59:37. > :00:07.strings onto the ball. He will get nervous as he gets
:00:08. > :00:13.closer, even with all of his experience, he has not beaten a top
:00:14. > :00:24.ten player since 2012 when he beat del Potro in Toronto.
:00:25. > :00:34.Incidentally, del Potro is back hitting again after his rather
:00:35. > :00:35.serious wrist surgery. He will be back on tour in Malaysia in
:00:36. > :01:01.September. He made that delicate touch looks so
:01:02. > :01:03.easy, and it is anything but. This high ball to totally stun any of the
:01:04. > :01:20.speed off of it. A good effort. Very, very strong from Radek
:01:21. > :01:29.Stepanek on his serve. He keeps moving ahead. He is itching to get
:01:30. > :01:35.going, get serving himself, get something moving in his favour.
:01:36. > :02:56.Stepanek, again, taking a bit of time.
:02:57. > :03:08.crafting some shots with real delicacy. Juristic court coverage.
:03:09. > :03:35.-- amazing court coverage. He has it. Stepanek is everywhere at
:03:36. > :03:41.the moment. Murray hit this as if he was playing somebody a lot more
:03:42. > :04:11.pedestrian. Stepanek got out there in a hurry.
:04:12. > :04:17.This is so important here, because the break down is one thing. A
:04:18. > :05:36.double break is a different matter. Andy Murray, again, having to wait.
:05:37. > :05:45.Ordinarily, you would say that was a fairly straightforward one from Andy
:05:46. > :05:52.Murray. A little bit out of kilter. He is being a bit more aggressive
:05:53. > :05:56.than we might have expected. It is almost as if Radek Stepanek has
:05:57. > :06:02.said, you had better put me on the defensive, because if you do not,
:06:03. > :06:12.I'm coming after you. Stepanek has challenged.
:06:13. > :06:23.He is quite happy just to have the little break.
:06:24. > :06:39.He is off trying to pass that wall again. That is comfortably in. There
:06:40. > :06:50.we go, he keeps it in there, just a break behind.
:06:51. > :06:58.We talk about his three wins here, Andy Murray, at Queen's, 2009, 2011
:06:59. > :07:07.and the last year, but in the intervening years, he has not done
:07:08. > :07:13.so well. Perhaps... He lost to Mardy Fish in 2010, he lost his first
:07:14. > :07:23.match against Nikolai Mahut a few years ago. Wiley is just one break
:07:24. > :07:30.behind, you always fancy with his ability, and the opponent serve,
:07:31. > :07:33.that he is still in there. You would have to think that Stepanek is due
:07:34. > :07:42.to fall to just a little bit, but the way that he has played so far,
:07:43. > :07:46.you never know. I have got the USA group for you, Germany, Portugal,
:07:47. > :07:51.Ghana, it is what people have been saying, this is a ridiculous name,
:07:52. > :07:55.this is the group of death, this is the toughest group apparent in the
:07:56. > :08:03.World Cup that you have found yourself in, not you personally! It
:08:04. > :08:07.is probably a positive results, even though Americans do not think like
:08:08. > :08:20.that. If we come third in that group, it is probably more than what
:08:21. > :08:22.we would be expecting. Stepanek, he is still in the driving seat. One
:08:23. > :09:03.break up. He has not been playing well today,
:09:04. > :09:12.Stepanek. I'm sure he is it, but not serving very well in particular. --
:09:13. > :09:24.I am sure he is enjoying it. The challenge for Andy Murray, well,
:09:25. > :09:31.Stepanek will challenge it. Mr Stepanek is challenging the ball on
:09:32. > :09:40.left-centre serve. A late call on that front the judge. That is close.
:09:41. > :09:43.A gasp from the crowd. Down to a millimetre. Stepanek is not
:09:44. > :11:25.internally pleased about that. Again, Radek Stepanek, a little fist
:11:26. > :11:32.pump. He moves on, he moves closer to what would be a big, big scalp.
:11:33. > :11:36.In his long career, this would be right up there. This has been a
:11:37. > :11:40.highly impressive serving performance from the man from the
:11:41. > :11:49.Czech Republic. He seems to be getting even stronger. 72% first
:11:50. > :11:54.serves made in this second set. To the pressure. -- hardly succumbing
:11:55. > :12:44.to the pressure. Not quite himself at the moment. The
:12:45. > :12:51.second serve does not have a lot of uptake on it. It is more of a slice.
:12:52. > :13:06.The ball is just not dropping quickly enough.
:13:07. > :13:12.If you hit up on this serve, then you put some top-spin on it, which
:13:13. > :13:50.means that the ball will drop quicker. He is not doing that today.
:13:51. > :14:28.Such good defensive work up until that moment from Andy Murray.
:14:29. > :14:46.Stepanek is unlucky that it hit the sideline. It's loaded up. -- slowed
:14:47. > :15:11.it up. He was to between that one. He have wanted to smash it. -- have
:15:12. > :15:22.-- half wanted to smash it. Stepanek has played well. Andy Murray, sort
:15:23. > :15:36.of an architect of his demise also, he has not been at his finest.
:15:37. > :15:37.Unforced error coming from Andy Murray today, the count is as high
:15:38. > :16:04.as it ever has been in his career. , boy. Early on in that rally, I
:16:05. > :16:10.think that Andy Murray missed a trick. He had an opportunity to come
:16:11. > :16:19.and take the ball out of the area. Each is the Conservative route. --
:16:20. > :16:23.he chose. He is taking a moment to himself. A big point, a break point
:16:24. > :16:35.for a double break. And what a piece of fortune for
:16:36. > :16:40.Stepanek! It was a very good return from a very good serve, but Radek
:16:41. > :16:47.Stepanek has the double break in this second set, one set up. Andy
:16:48. > :16:53.Murray is on the brink. He certainly is. You would have to think, two
:16:54. > :17:02.breaks up in this second set. It has go to be a commanding lead. -- it
:17:03. > :17:13.has got to be. He had the perfect return. That was a huge piece of
:17:14. > :17:19.luck. Before that, it was a sorry game in part from Andy Murray. Andy
:17:20. > :17:25.Murray has attempted to be very aggressive in this second set. He
:17:26. > :17:34.hit the ball with more power than, well, then I might have expected. --
:17:35. > :17:40.fan I might have expected. If you unforced error 's have come along
:17:41. > :17:45.the way. There may well be a postmortem afterwards if it doesn't
:17:46. > :17:50.end well for Andy Murray. That great grass court run of his, going for
:17:51. > :17:56.his 20th consecutive victory, the champion here last year, the
:17:57. > :18:03.Wimbledon champion, of course. Andy Murray need help here, he needs
:18:04. > :18:08.Radek Stepanek to miss a couple of first serves. Today, it is Radek
:18:09. > :18:10.Stepanek, he has beaten Andy Murray once in previous encounters, and now
:18:11. > :18:41.he is serving for the match. Still, even at the end, Radek
:18:42. > :18:50.Stepanek looks to be in control. He sure does. A man that wins a
:18:51. > :19:33.decisive run in the Davis cup has nerves of steel.
:19:34. > :19:47.Toying with Andy Murray, playing with him, moving him around at his
:19:48. > :20:10.will. Yes, that was just the cat and mouse point.
:20:11. > :20:20.Andy Murray is challenging the ball. The challenge of a desperate man.
:20:21. > :20:31.Worth the challenge, but three match point for Radek Stepanek. -- match
:20:32. > :20:59.points. Mr Murray is challenging the ball.
:21:00. > :21:03.It might end in this. It was called in. It would be down to Hawk-Eye to
:21:04. > :21:12.decide if Andy Murray is still breathing in this match. Oh, it is
:21:13. > :21:21.out! He lives! The crowd, as well, they say thank you, Hawk-Eye. Still,
:21:22. > :21:58.two match points. And there it is. Into the net and
:21:59. > :22:05.add, what a win for Radek Stepanek, but Andy Murray is beaten. The
:22:06. > :22:11.champion falls. Not what this crowd expected. What they believed could
:22:12. > :22:19.happen. The indestructible Andy Murray is gone, his grass court
:22:20. > :22:23.streak is at an end. Stepanek played about as well as he could play and
:22:24. > :22:28.first, Andy Murray seemed imperious and you would not have thought it,
:22:29. > :22:32.6-2 in the first set tie-break that he was in command, but Stepanek kept
:22:33. > :22:41.on whittling him down, and he would not go away. A rapid exit for Andy
:22:42. > :22:45.Murray, stopping to sign autographs, but Stepanek, all praise due to the
:22:46. > :22:50.player from the Czech Republic, and he gives his applause to the crowd
:22:51. > :22:52.also, but that is a very, very impressive win from Radek Stepanek.
:22:53. > :23:02.Andy Murray is out. Looking back at that, and
:23:03. > :23:07.particularly the first set when Looking back at that, and
:23:08. > :23:10.Murray had eight set point in the tie-break, you
:23:11. > :23:17.Murray had eight set point in the away from this man, he got his first
:23:18. > :23:22.set point. His coach will be proud of that little kick! A wonderful
:23:23. > :23:26.performance from Radek Stepanek, well deserved, you took his
:23:27. > :23:30.chances, but Andy Murray did give them to him. Andrew Castle and John
:23:31. > :23:35.Lloyd watching that year in the studio, and Andrew, he had his
:23:36. > :23:41.chances, he missed them, there will be a lot to discuss after this? Yes,
:23:42. > :23:47.if you have eight set point, you should win the set. He backed off on
:23:48. > :23:50.a couple. Yesterday, we were looking at the final game of Wimbledon last
:23:51. > :23:55.year, he did not play with that kind of urgency today, but you do not
:23:56. > :24:02.expect him to. He was trying to work up through the gears, but it did not
:24:03. > :24:11.work. Lets air from Radek Stepanek. -- letters here. A fantastic game of
:24:12. > :24:16.tennis, you played a great match. Thank you. I am sorry to beat Andy
:24:17. > :24:19.Murray in front of his own crowd. The crowd here is always fantastic
:24:20. > :24:23.and it is always an honour and a pleasure to play on such a great
:24:24. > :24:27.Centre Court and the way that I played today, I'm very pleased with
:24:28. > :24:34.my performance. I was serving pretty well against one of the best with
:24:35. > :24:41.returns in the game, so that was key to the played today. Did you think
:24:42. > :24:44.that the set was gone when you were down in the tie-break? I do not want
:24:45. > :24:50.to have this thinking, I know it is close but it is far away, and it is
:24:51. > :24:55.never over until the umpire says the first set, Andy Murray, so I had
:24:56. > :24:59.been fighting until the end and the tie-breaker was definitely a decider
:25:00. > :25:03.of the game. We were sitting with your team in the box, including Petr
:25:04. > :25:08.Cech, the Chelsea goalkeeper, he says that he knows he very well, and
:25:09. > :25:12.he says that you love playing players in the top ten because it
:25:13. > :25:17.game to another level, is that what you felt out there today? Yes, when
:25:18. > :25:22.you play the best in the world, you have to come up with the best, and
:25:23. > :25:26.in front of such a crowd, playing the best players in the world, it
:25:27. > :25:32.takes the best out of you, and is today, that an example. It again be
:25:33. > :25:41.the champion here, can you go all the way here? I will go day by day.
:25:42. > :25:48.-- if you cant beat the champion here, can you go all the way? I will
:25:49. > :25:53.try to go as far as I can. Congratulations on a fantastic
:25:54. > :25:58.performance. A great competitor, he has proved that over and over again
:25:59. > :26:02.in the Davis Cup, so it would not be that easy a match. You feel that
:26:03. > :26:06.Andy Murray let him get into that singles match and did not play his
:26:07. > :26:12.best, and he broke on the opening game, and it all started so well,
:26:13. > :26:15.but it's never really raised his game, the depth and wasn't there in
:26:16. > :26:24.the ground shots and in the service percentage. If he had wob the -- won
:26:25. > :26:33.the first set it wouldn't have a problem. The second set looked like
:26:34. > :26:38.Rowland Garros tiredness. He played some casual shots. But all credit to
:26:39. > :26:42.Radek Stepanek. He has so many different parts to his game and
:26:43. > :26:47.gives you all different looks. I thought he was magnificent. But only
:26:48. > :26:52.if he is allowed to get into the match and Andy Murray is usually got
:26:53. > :27:02.at not letting people into the match. Do you remember Roddick in
:27:03. > :27:08.2009 and he didn't let Murray play his game and Lendl came in to change
:27:09. > :27:16.his game. I think he would have done that. Borough deck played the big --
:27:17. > :27:23.but Radek played the big shots sue pshly. -- superbly. First credit to
:27:24. > :27:28.Stepanek, but Murray will be a different player at Wimbledon
:27:29. > :27:37.probably. If he #45d play -- he had played perfectly today, what will he
:27:38. > :27:44.talk to Amelie about? Yes he lost here to Mahut here and went on to
:27:45. > :27:49.win. And he is out of the same pod. They now how to nullify somebody who
:27:50. > :27:53.is six or eight inches back than they should have been. It show what
:27:54. > :27:58.is solid grass court and volley technique can still bring on this
:27:59. > :28:04.surface. I thought it was thrilling to watch Radek play. It is nice to
:28:05. > :28:11.see volleys. For Amelie and Andy what do they discuss and what do
:28:12. > :28:17.they learn. Severance package! If he had lost Oehrlest early at -- lost
:28:18. > :28:22.early at the French and lost today, there would have been concerns. But
:28:23. > :28:29.he got to the semi finals of French. Grass is easy for him. He didn't
:28:30. > :28:33.play as well as he can. What was it, the depth? I think his first settest
:28:34. > :28:41.serve went off and -- his first serve went off and allowed Stepanek
:28:42. > :28:46.to dictate and Stepanek's variety got him. He changed up the pats,
:28:47. > :28:52.came -- pace, came in a lot more. He is one of the best at the cat and
:28:53. > :28:57.mouse tactic. He got Murray a few times on that. It was an all round
:28:58. > :29:04.good performance and Murray may take a couple of days off and start. This
:29:05. > :29:09.match, we don't like to see him lose. Queens don't like to see him
:29:10. > :29:13.lose. But this will have no bearing on Wimbledon. He has the confidence
:29:14. > :29:18.of having a fair few matches, although this year as not been adds
:29:19. > :29:25.good as other -- good as other years. He has not won a tournament
:29:26. > :29:30.since Wimbledon. When he walks out at Centre Court, I don't think this
:29:31. > :29:33.will have any real relevance. People won't understand that. But this is
:29:34. > :29:38.the sort of thing that can happen. Would it have happened with Djokovic
:29:39. > :29:44.or Rafael Nadal or Federer? Maybe not, but he is not them. He is his
:29:45. > :29:48.mind man. Perhaps he needs a couple of days. The attention here, to be
:29:49. > :29:50.away from it, maybe that is a positive. Go and get the
:29:51. > :29:54.relationship working with Amelie, a positive. Go and get the
:29:55. > :29:57.few days to work on the game and to figure out how
:29:58. > :30:01.few days to work on the game and to No negative, apart from we are not
:30:02. > :30:09.going to see him tomorrow. But I don't think that will be too big a
:30:10. > :30:13.deal. It is getting used to the grass. When things are going wrong,
:30:14. > :30:21.you don't have anything to fall back on if you haven't got used to the
:30:22. > :30:27.surface. But he is a great grass court player. He nows how -- he
:30:28. > :30:32.knows thousand play on grass. I think he needs a couple of days off.
:30:33. > :30:38.He will be fine and Amelie and he will work it out. Very disappointing
:30:39. > :30:42.for crowd here that Andy Murray, the defending champion is out. Radek
:30:43. > :30:49.Stepanek is through. But let's take a check on some of the other
:30:50. > :30:51.results. Kenny Anderson is through. Kevin Anderson. He will
:30:52. > :30:58.results. Kenny Anderson is through. Stepanek in the next round. He came
:30:59. > :31:16.through in three tough sets against Stakhovsky. Dimitrov is out on court
:31:17. > :31:23.number 1. He is through in straight sets against Roger-Vasselin. He will
:31:24. > :31:32.play Nieminen or Alexandr Dolgopolov, who are on court at the
:31:33. > :31:39.moment. Earlier Feliciano Lopez came through a struggle against De
:31:40. > :31:47.Schepper. He will play the second seed, Tomas Berdych. And this was
:31:48. > :31:51.Tomas Berdych winning today. Our first match on Centre Court. Two
:31:52. > :31:56.hours, just over two hours for just two sets. A long struggle for the
:31:57. > :32:08.former Wimbledon finalist. But he is through. That puts you right
:32:09. > :32:12.up-to-date. Coming up next on Centre Court, Stan Wawrinka, the world
:32:13. > :32:22.number three, the top seed here. But he has a tough one against Sam
:32:23. > :32:28.Querrey, the former champion, who is yet to drop a serve. But today is
:32:29. > :32:34.the day it all get jupd way in wra still -- under way in Brazil. What
:32:35. > :32:45.separates the great from the good? Style? Of course. Flair? Artistry?
:32:46. > :32:53.Passion. That is a given. Learn from your mistakes. Always think about
:32:54. > :32:58.what you missed. Never be Sachsed with what you've done. -- satisfied
:32:59. > :33:04.with what you have done. Whatever you do, do it with your heart. I
:33:05. > :33:07.never thought about what I could get out of football. I just wanted to
:33:08. > :33:20.play. The 12th is today. It starts with
:33:21. > :33:25.Brazil/Croatia and you can listen to that live on Radio 5 Live tonight
:33:26. > :33:42.from 9 o'clock tonight. We saw a picture earlier of a doubles team,
:33:43. > :33:46.Silic and Sarr, Silic from Croatia and Sarr from Brazil. There is some
:33:47. > :33:50.random game of football taking place. But the game that counts is
:33:51. > :33:53.here in the players' lounge at the Queen's Club and it is about to
:33:54. > :34:14.start. Three, two, one go! This is Andre Sarr against Marin
:34:15. > :34:24.Cilic. Croatia against Brazil. This game has a long way to go. They're
:34:25. > :34:31.playing 45 minutes each way. Neymar junior. You're very quiet at the
:34:32. > :34:36.moment. Very focussed. Oh, my God. I hope it's not going to goo like this
:34:37. > :34:41.tonight. -- go like this tonight. I'm worried about your keeper. How
:34:42. > :34:47.proud are you about the World Cup being in Brazil. Very proud for us
:34:48. > :34:50.it is a religion. To have the opportunity... One of the greatest
:34:51. > :34:56.sporting events at home is just wonderful. Are you going to have a
:34:57. > :35:03.chance to go to any games? No, none at all. Oh! That is O confident. We
:35:04. > :35:11.will talk. What about you Marin, will you see any of the games? Well
:35:12. > :35:16.tonight is 9pm kick off. We are going to sit around here. It is a
:35:17. > :35:23.long way to Brazil. So I won't have a chance. There is only a couple of
:35:24. > :35:33.minutes left. 4-1! It should be a reality later today. Who are the key
:35:34. > :35:40.people for you tonight? The goalkeeper for sure! The final
:35:41. > :35:45.whistle goes. 5-2 Brazil. Tonight will be different. It could be the
:35:46. > :35:52.real score later tonight. I wonder who will be smiling later on. A lot
:35:53. > :35:57.of fun in the players' lounge. It is a great tournament for the players.
:35:58. > :36:01.Yes they love it. They know what they're doing here and know how to
:36:02. > :36:06.keep the players happy and everything is organised perfectly
:36:07. > :36:13.and everyone enjoys it. All the players are such keen sports fans. A
:36:14. > :36:17.lot to look forward and a lot to discuss. What about this match. We
:36:18. > :36:22.have seen one big upset with Murray going out and Stan Wawrinka has a
:36:23. > :36:28.tough one against Sam Querrey. I wouldn't consider this to be a huge
:36:29. > :36:32.upset if Querrey wins. I think Stan will come through. But Querrey on
:36:33. > :36:36.grass, we have seen what he has done here in the past, he has just one
:36:37. > :36:42.two matches without losing his serve and has only had four break points
:36:43. > :36:46.against him. He is a great shot maker. If Stan Wawrinka is looking
:36:47. > :36:50.to get some rhythm here, he is not going to get it. He will have to be
:36:51. > :36:54.sharp on his serve and make sure he hold and hopefully wait for a chance
:36:55. > :36:59.to get a break. Because there will be times when balls will be flying
:37:00. > :37:05.past him. He also hits the ball very hard. It will be a big match between
:37:06. > :37:11.two heavy weights out here. Sam won the title in 2010. He looks to be
:37:12. > :37:16.back to his best. Well, it was a very good recovery after his loss
:37:17. > :37:19.against James Ward. That I heard he was devastated by that. He was the
:37:20. > :37:24.favourite and for him to have lost that match in the United States
:37:25. > :37:30.against James. He was very nerve nous that match. Yes and now he is
:37:31. > :37:33.on his way back and away from the spotlight and he has been on the
:37:34. > :37:37.outside courts. I am sure he will have a go and will be dangerous.
:37:38. > :37:42.Could be another interesting one and could be another long match. This
:37:43. > :37:50.join this one. Andrew will start this one for us. COMMENTATOR: The
:37:51. > :38:35.crowd just settling down. Page one of the Querrey play book. A
:38:36. > :39:01.strong serve, coming down from six foot six.
:39:02. > :39:11.Stan Wawrinka risking that backhand, making the error. Sam Querrey is
:39:12. > :39:19.ranked number 78 in the world, which just doesn't seem right. Better than
:39:20. > :39:27.that a high of 17 in 2011. He dropped eleven places in the
:39:28. > :39:32.rankings this week. It is because of the computer points available at the
:39:33. > :39:36.Grand Slam. A round difference over one year can make a big difference
:39:37. > :39:42.on the computer. Down to 78 in the world, but a better player than
:39:43. > :39:44.that, if that makes sense. Stan Wawrinka number three in the world
:39:45. > :41:33.and ahead of Roger Federer. In all the talk of who would coach
:41:34. > :41:37.Andy Murray and who he would announce, Magnus Norman should have
:41:38. > :41:39.been top of the list. He is brilliant. A great thinker, a great
:41:40. > :42:05.strategist. Lost on the 11th match point in the
:42:06. > :42:09.Paris open. He never seeks the limelight and they have been working
:42:10. > :42:12.together for 15 months or so. After they have been working for two
:42:13. > :42:17.months together... I will it will you in a second. Stan Wawrinka last
:42:18. > :42:22.year they have been working two weeks together. He went to Portugal,
:42:23. > :42:24.a small tournament, lost the first set and won the tournament. He said
:42:25. > :42:45.that was the key moment. He beat Ferrer on clay and is that
:42:46. > :42:50.is when thought he is as good as he is. He is the owner of the sweetest
:42:51. > :42:52.one-handed backhand in the game, Wawrinka. He has so much in his
:42:53. > :43:16.game. He was so impressive and he lasted
:43:17. > :43:37.out there. It was just Mag Nith sent. -- magnificent.
:43:38. > :43:45.We talked about Swiss tennis. When you're Swiss number one, you have
:43:46. > :43:51.got to be good, because Federer is in there! Stan Wawrinka who, won a
:43:52. > :43:56.gold medal in Beijing, alongside his celebrated country man. He has
:43:57. > :43:59.really come out of shadows. It does take some adjustment to be a Grand
:44:00. > :44:04.Slam champion, your life does change. Things like Davis Cup,
:44:05. > :44:07.imagine when he is lining up there and Roger Federer will play the
:44:08. > :44:13.fifth match, because he is the number two. He has had to, of all
:44:14. > :44:17.those years where, I mean, and he admires Roger Federer and is not not
:44:18. > :44:22.an honour being number two to Roger Federer, but he was always sort of
:44:23. > :44:27.in the shadows and won the Australian Open and the whole thing
:44:28. > :44:34.changed. He won Monte Carlo this year, which was great. But me hassed
:44:35. > :44:41.a a - but he has had a few dips. The French Open was the one I couldn't
:44:42. > :44:49.understand. The last two sets I couldn't understand. He lost-2 and
:44:50. > :44:54.6-4 in the next one. That was a strange result. It would be great
:44:55. > :44:58.for him to get some matches here to get that Mojo back. He is a Grand
:44:59. > :46:17.Slam winner and should have the aura about him that he deserves.
:46:18. > :46:26.It wasn't well disguised that drop shot from Stan Wawrinka. You could
:46:27. > :46:29.see this one coming from a mile away and it was a floater as well. Too
:46:30. > :47:59.high. Querrey op to it easily. Stan Wawrinka's Australian Open
:48:00. > :48:02.victory over Rafael Nadal in the final, easy to forget, because
:48:03. > :48:09.Rafael Nadal was injured there during the course of the match. They
:48:10. > :48:19.finished it. He has beaten Berdych Djokovic, 9-7 in the fifth.
:48:20. > :48:29.Until Rafael Nadal was injured, Stan Wawrinka was up a set and a wreak
:48:30. > :49:21.and o' - break and was demolishing him. It was a legitimate win.
:49:22. > :49:27.Stan just saying there was a ball in that rally that was long. He won the
:49:28. > :49:41.point and didn't want to stop just in case he hadn't seen it correctly.
:49:42. > :49:49.Oh than that's got to be one of the luckiest shots you will ever see.
:49:50. > :49:56.What, he didn't mean that? He knew nothing! This is staring at three
:49:57. > :50:00.break points. I don't even know what you would call that shot. Here comes
:50:01. > :50:53.the technique. Oh, it is a scooper! A first serve yes, but a big miss on
:50:54. > :51:00.the forehand. Wawrinka is rewarded with a break of serve. It is the
:51:01. > :51:05.first service break that has gone against Querrey in this tournament
:51:06. > :51:15.and what a way to surrender it. It was a very sloppy game. 78th in the
:51:16. > :51:27.world. It is 30 or 40 places beneath where you would think he would be.
:51:28. > :51:33.Steve Johnson is at 63. Donald Young at 65. These are hardly household
:51:34. > :51:39.names. No, it is the worst. It is the worst it has been in terms of
:51:40. > :51:42.rankings and the expectation and I know that there is a lot of
:51:43. > :51:47.criticism that goes around about what is going on in America tennis.
:51:48. > :51:52.Because it is not in good shape, in the men's side certainly. The
:51:53. > :52:05.college system still producing players are not? It hasn't been for
:52:06. > :52:08.a while. The last good one was Isner. A lot of British players
:52:09. > :52:16.could benefit from America college. It is a cut throat way to get your
:52:17. > :52:20.tennis. Pressure tennis almost every day. And an education. Yes, I forgot
:52:21. > :52:30.about that! Up Mr Querrey is challenging the
:52:31. > :53:31.call. A query from Querrey! serve. He seems to open up too
:53:32. > :53:40.early. You wonder where the power is coming from. Well done, that was an
:53:41. > :53:48.awkward height and it came at him fast. He did well to adjust there.
:53:49. > :53:55.It came at him fast and it was not easy. Took that very well.
:53:56. > :54:08.Ofly variation on serving there. -- lovely variation on serving there.
:54:09. > :54:14.On his own previous outing to this club in London, Stan back in 2011
:54:15. > :54:23.lost to James Ward. He has had some good wins here has our James.
:54:24. > :54:30.He has got such a good forehand, Sam Querrey, but it is not firing the
:54:31. > :55:01.way it used to. It is a lack of confidence.
:55:02. > :55:10.Whoops! Caught the line. Didn't quite have to go that close! His
:55:11. > :55:14.opponent has already given up on the other side. Well, he only just made
:55:15. > :56:06.that. Is pa part of US system? I think so.
:56:07. > :56:13.You need to start to keep up to speed with all these coaching
:56:14. > :56:17.changes. He didn't move up to that one. Expected that one to come
:56:18. > :56:24.through. One of the first rules on grass, you should have to move your
:56:25. > :56:46.feet and it is fast, but you have got to move up to the ball.
:56:47. > :56:53.and paying the price. Two breaks, that should be good for the first
:56:54. > :57:02.set. They would be serving with the new tennis balls in this wonderful
:57:03. > :57:08.arena here. The wonderful thing about Querrey, he is great, but he
:57:09. > :57:13.basically handed this away. He does not move his feet and has an error
:57:14. > :57:16.in the bottom of the net. It is this kind of thing that his code would be
:57:17. > :57:27.writing in the notebook saying, you cannot do that at this level.
:57:28. > :57:34.Yes-macro his coach. You can spend a year and a half of your career doing
:57:35. > :57:38.this, it is quite difficult. He might lose confidence. He will need
:57:39. > :57:44.to grind it out at lower tournaments to try and get some wins. He has had
:57:45. > :57:58.two Goodwins here. At the moment, he is just not at the races. -- he has
:57:59. > :58:03.had two good wins here. Stan, he has played OK, but he has naturally had
:58:04. > :58:06.to do much, and he is up a double break. He will certainly take it. He
:58:07. > :59:36.will not complain, that is for sure. That will do nicely. A consummate
:59:37. > :59:43.set. 21 minutes against Sam Querrey, it is not just the power.
:59:44. > :59:47.It has had subtlety, the way that he approached the service, the
:59:48. > :59:51.confidence to use the service box in the right way with different spins
:59:52. > :59:55.and directions, I am very impressed with Stan, I know that everyone is
:59:56. > :00:00.settling down after the Andy Murray loss, and it is boiling hot in here,
:00:01. > :00:03.some people have got there a freshman, gone to the toilet and
:00:04. > :00:09.that sort of thing, but I hope they have a chance to see him, because he
:00:10. > :00:20.looks great. He is hitting very well. He did not have much
:00:21. > :00:23.opposition in that first set, but you can only do what you can do. The
:00:24. > :00:26.variety, painting the lines, the variation of Spain, the backhand,
:00:27. > :00:30.immaculate as ever, some good volley action. I would be very surprised if
:00:31. > :00:36.Sam Querrey dozen but up a better fight in the second set and back up
:00:37. > :00:41.a better fight in the second set and his serve, he can walk to the other
:00:42. > :00:53.side. He has got so many aces. He should not be losing the serve twice
:00:54. > :00:58.in one set, not like that. A lovely, hot day here at Queen's Club, 26
:00:59. > :01:04.degrees, probably add another three degrees, 4 degrees down on the
:01:05. > :01:21.court. On the hard court, the heat reflects back. In Australia, at the
:01:22. > :01:30.open, the ground really sizzles. The Good Friday and egg, make some toast
:01:31. > :02:28.on it! -- you could fry an egg, make some toast on it!
:02:29. > :02:55.Sipping 140 mph down there. -- zipping.
:02:56. > :03:00.Sam Querrey is interesting, because he is an American that went pro
:03:01. > :03:05.straight out of high school will stop he had an offer to go to the
:03:06. > :03:16.University of Southern California, a wonderful university. My son went
:03:17. > :03:25.there. Expensive! Yes. He was offered a scholarship and he
:03:26. > :03:31.declined. He went to college. Whatever tat they had, Sam decided
:03:32. > :03:39.that he would go straight to pro. -- whatever tat they had. He has made
:03:40. > :05:32.$5 million. Good decision. Yes, that was the end of that!
:05:33. > :05:41.Andy Murray has already gone out of the Championships in his second
:05:42. > :05:45.match in the third round today, fighting against Radek Stepanek, a
:05:46. > :05:50.play with too much know-how and experience. We will call it a slack
:05:51. > :06:04.performance, just not 100% today. Certainly not a crisis.
:06:05. > :06:14.Over in Germany, Rafael Nadal is 4-0 down to Dustin Brown. Roland Garros,
:06:15. > :06:31.yes. That is a hangover result from
:06:32. > :06:35.Roland Garros, I've think he pulled out, certainly, the last two years,
:06:36. > :06:41.certainly last year, he said he would not do that again this year,
:06:42. > :06:50.but it sounds like he isn't exactly in the best shape. He is down to is
:06:51. > :07:01.seven, 4-0 down to Dustin Brown. It is 5-0 now. Oh, dear. He liked to
:07:02. > :07:05.get a bit of fishing in after he wins the French Open, just to
:07:06. > :07:23.satisfy that commitment, presumably. If you days off. -- a field days
:07:24. > :07:28.off. -- a few days off. He has got a strange forehand, when it is on, it
:07:29. > :07:45.is dangerous, but not today. At the moment, he does not have the range.
:07:46. > :07:58.A lot of dust came up. He did not need to make this anywhere near
:07:59. > :08:01.close, Wawrinka. This is where the England team you to take their
:08:02. > :08:09.penalties, straight down the middle, smack it right at the
:08:10. > :08:44.goalkeeper. -- needs to take their penalties.
:08:45. > :08:54.Oh, yes, that is one of the shots of the game right now. A beauty. In
:08:55. > :08:58.cricket it would be called getting your foot to the bounce. He puts the
:08:59. > :09:01.foot down at the front and you can do anything with that, going any
:09:02. > :09:22.direction. That might be the best forehand that
:09:23. > :10:09.Sam Querrey has hit. There are too many rallies where
:10:10. > :10:17.Querrey is not getting Wawrinka out of position. He is getting Wawrinka
:10:18. > :11:05.on the run far too much for the American to like it.
:11:06. > :11:12.The last time we saw Sam Querrey on our screens, he was easy against
:11:13. > :11:15.James Ward in the Davis Cup against San Diego. That was a difficult loss
:11:16. > :11:38.for him in February. This is unexpectedly one-sided. I
:11:39. > :11:51.say unexpectedly, there is a gulf in the rankings and at the moment, Sam
:11:52. > :11:54.Querrey is behind. He's an experienced campaigner suffering a
:11:55. > :12:00.lack of confidence at the moment. He is playing against a man who is
:12:01. > :12:15.enjoying himself. It is his first visit to the UK since the O2 last
:12:16. > :12:25.year. Wawrinka was in the semifinals there last year. We have got Hugh
:12:26. > :12:34.Grant with us in there. Not sure about his tennis, his golf is handy.
:12:35. > :12:38.Yes, his golf is good. It is funny, you look at him, and you can hear
:12:39. > :12:54.him talking in that kind of run, language! It is brilliant, isn't it?
:12:55. > :13:06.! -- Romcom language. He will be hacked off that we have found him!
:13:07. > :13:08.Tough luck! Everyone taking the opportunity to go and get a drink
:13:09. > :13:50.and come back in. He read this one well. Unlucky with
:13:51. > :13:54.the net call, but would have been a lucky winner if it had gone over. A
:13:55. > :14:42.good stretch. It is definitely on the line, just a
:14:43. > :15:33.question of if it is on the long line or not. Yes.
:15:34. > :16:00.So, the volley on his second serve. Very confident.
:16:01. > :16:08.The footwork is gorgeous. Just hopping and skipping around the
:16:09. > :16:36.court. A big, strong man. Moved lightly.
:16:37. > :16:45.Once again, Querrey not finding the right spots. It is just not wide
:16:46. > :16:47.enough. That is what happens against Wawrinka if you do not do enough on
:16:48. > :17:05.the ground strokes. He has annoyed himself there,
:17:06. > :17:35.Wawrinka. 15-30, second serve, would love double break.
:17:36. > :17:45.So, a chance to break, not taken from Wawrinka, but he is still in
:17:46. > :17:52.control of this match. Certainly looking impressive at Queen's Club.
:17:53. > :17:58.Plain sailing from here? Maybe. Stan in control, the big shock of the
:17:59. > :18:02.day, Andy Murray is out, beaten by Radek Stepanek, he has proven that
:18:03. > :18:09.he is the man for the big occasion. Andy Murray with out of sorts. He
:18:10. > :18:14.had eight set point in the first set tie-break but lasted 7-6, 6-2, so
:18:15. > :18:21.the defending champ in his ad, T body had to say to the press
:18:22. > :18:27.afterwards. I thought the first set was a pretty high standard. I
:18:28. > :18:34.thought he served pretty well during the match. I have only got myself to
:18:35. > :18:39.blame that I lost the first set, because I do not know how many set
:18:40. > :18:45.point I had, but a lot of them were on my serve. So, on this service
:18:46. > :18:49.especially, you should not be losing set like that, so for me, that is
:18:50. > :18:55.what is disappointing about this match. Unfortunately, I was broken
:18:56. > :19:02.in the first game on the second set, and I could not quite get it back.
:19:03. > :19:10.But yes, the tie-break was, it was tough. He had his chances. He had a
:19:11. > :19:14.bad stay here, but over in Germany, the grass court tournament, a bigger
:19:15. > :19:22.shock, the world number one, Rafael Nadal, he is out, beaten by a player
:19:23. > :19:28.ranked 85 in the world, Dustin Brown, 6-4, 6-1, Nadal out in
:19:29. > :19:33.Germany, Murray out in Queen's. Grasp operations not going well. But
:19:34. > :19:36.it is going well for Stan at the moment. -- grass preparations not
:19:37. > :19:43.going well. Sarah- 15, not a crisis. -- zero
:19:44. > :20:29.-15, not a crisis. There is not for a much that you can
:20:30. > :20:33.do about that anyway. Classy tennis. -- there is not very much. This is
:20:34. > :20:49.just too good. He is backing up his serve pretty
:20:50. > :21:27.well. Punishing ground strokes. Some great matches developing. I
:21:28. > :21:31.know that Andy Murray has gone out, which is a big disappointment to
:21:32. > :21:51.everybody here, least of all to him and his coat, family morels Mo,. --
:21:52. > :22:01.least of all to him and his coach, Amelie Mauresmo.
:22:02. > :23:05.It is those sort of point where Sam Querrey is being let down. No
:23:06. > :23:18.pressure on him, just close the backhand long by about a foot. That
:23:19. > :23:22.was casual. Did that hit the ground before it hit the net? Not one of
:23:23. > :23:50.his best! Put it that way! Here it is again. It is so good,
:23:51. > :23:56.that shot, one handed down the line. Goes to the highest part of the net,
:23:57. > :24:07.and he is just so sure of it. It is just perfect.
:24:08. > :24:22.That could be the killer blow. A set and 5-2, the top seed making things
:24:23. > :24:26.very difficult for Sam Querrey. We are coming to the end of our
:24:27. > :24:30.transmission, you can continue to watch on the red button and also
:24:31. > :24:35.Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, you can enjoy its late into the evening on the red
:24:36. > :24:41.button. We are back tomorrow on the red button at 12:30pm and live on
:24:42. > :24:45.BBC Two at 1pm. An eventful day, a big shot here, Andy Murray is out.
:24:46. > :24:49.Goodbye. -- a big shock.
