Day 4 - Part 2 Queen's

Much better, and it has to be, because he is feeling the squeeze a

little bit. Life is so much nicer when you get your first serve in.

I like guessing what the speed gun will come up with. It briefly

suggested the last one was 155 mph, I thought better of it!

We have talked about Andy Murray's second serve for a long time. And

while players do not attack it more often. -- why? Now we are seeing

Stepanek have great success with that.

That is great. Again, that backhand down the line. In behind his

opponent. Terrific. Two hands. We saw it several times yesterday. His

second serve was a very deep. Well, anything you can do... ! Yes,

the approach shot, just a little shot, not bad, but a spectacular

pass. That was a great pick up by Stepanek

at the other end. From a terrific passing shot by Murray. It was a

commanding return. He somehow managed to get it back into an

awkward position. But to no avail. This is a big point.

Does he respond? Stepanek sliding around!

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, from Andy Murray! On top that time.

And you could not have blamed Stepanek for thinking, I a great

position here. A feeble second serve. He looked up

at the sky as if you were distracted by a plane overhead!

The familiar sound of the British summer, yelps of encouragement.

It is not quite the previous game, but seven minutes of hard graft for

Andy Murray. The first serve percentage declining

rapidly. Still cannot do it. Stepanek has

been very effective with the drop volleys. Forcing Murray in off the

baseline. That meets with the approval of the

crowd. That one had some pop!

Finally. Just about ten minutes to do it. An important hold in this

first set. A happy camp. But a little bit concerned about some

ragged mistakes. Good stuff as well. Now the Stepanek serve.

How is your football knowledge, Peter? Recognise the man the nearest

of the camera? Stepanek could use him at the net!

Petr Cech. We don't recognise him without his cap. The Chelsea

goalkeeper. The Chelsea goalkeeper... For how

much longer? You are right on top of the

situation! Again, sensational from Andy Murray.

He seemed to be out of that but a flash of billions gets himself right

back in. -- brilliance. That is his special skill. His ability to flick

the ball on the run into a tight little spot. A spectacular shot

maker on the run. That is a big-time serve. A good

response from Stepanek. When needed most.

From 15-30, two back in control. So, Stepanek keeps his nose in

front. Very little between these players at the moment. Stepanek does

look strong, the 15 seed. He does. It is interesting, we saw

Murray looking sharp yesterday against a primarily baseline

player. Because he ordinarily defends against serve and volley so

well we just assume that this is a walk in the park. Yet it has not

proven to be thus far. Stepanek has been more consistent than we might

have expected. But Andy Murray has not taken advantage of

opportunities. No doubt, that will lead to improved in the coming

weeks. -- need to improve. It is hot as well, and it will be

even warmer tomorrow. Drive all the way -- dry, such a relief after the

last few years. Andy Murray just needs to fire on also want us to

keep the majority of the crowd here happy. -- on all cylinders. Serving

to stay in the first set. defensive skills. You know that the

approach has to be great, or just don't bother.

A laser down-the-line. Look at the balance.

That is a scary movie. Your first instinct is, please don't have been

anything serious. Thankfully, it was not.

They reasonably straightforward hold. It is certainly not looking

like he is in anyway the stronger player, it is evenly matched.

Sometimes that can really kick-start a service game, a gift of the first

point. Andy Murray, looking to pounce.

That is wonderful from Stepanek. First, to get to that overhead.

Yes. Just capitalised on each opening.

Stepanek is finding a nice rhythm now. He has been sold all the way

through this first set -- solid. An impressive hold. Again, serving

first, Stepanek knows that at the very least would be a tie-break for

first, Stepanek knows that at the him. Helps put pressure on the

Murray serve. He will want plenty of good run out before Wimbledon,

Murray, and he wants to win as well. Three times a champion here.

Here is a question. When he did so last year he become the first Briton

to take hat-trick of crowns. Since one another. Not Fred Perry, not

Austen. Roger Taylor?

I am not sure you will get it. So I will tell you. Francis Golden hello.

-- Gordon-Lowe. 1913, 1914, 1925. Oh, Franky!

play here. But what Murray does is hang tough and wait for an opening.

Serving to stay in the set. Just some extra stretch is creeping

into his movement in between points, after that fall.

He has been dominant when the first serve has gone into play.

Slightly delayed call. Almost simultaneously he challenged. We

will find out. It is out. So, it is set point for Stepanek.

That is well played. I say! Safe, secure, aggressive.

Murray. Stared down the set point and into a tie-break we will go.

Murray is bouncing around on the baseline now. Chatting away to

himself. A good time for just his second ace

of the match. But it's not been confirmed, because stock exchange

neck has asked the -- because Stepanek has asked the question. I

think that might have been just a little... Let me take a moment here,

break up the rhythm. A terrific backhand drive. Deep and

heavy. Oh! A thing of beauty from Murray,

if not for Stepanek. Wonderful to see. It wasn't a bad serve, but it

looked as though Murray was just sitting on it. A shot to bring up

the mini-break in this tie-break. The momentum with the champion. How

many times have we seen Andy Murray just come up with moments o' of

inspiration like that? When they're needed the most. It is part of his

gift. It is fitting that such a close first set should have such a

close tie-break, but one shot is to be the difference, that was

something special, that return. Crucially the first serves are

landing for Murray now, Stepanek on the back foot.

Murray now beginning to pull away in this tie-break. Stepanek's serve,

but set point to Murray. That is well played. The

serve/volley. That was not in the plan. He has

really struggled with his second serve thus far today. Still a set

point. And creeping back ever further. Back

on serve. Four set points, one remains, but on the Stepanek serve.

That is good play from Stepanek from a deep ball on this tie-break. 2-6,

Stepanek put two first serves in and came in behind them both. Murray on

his two points double fault and then the second point perhaps to guard

against another double fault just rolled in a meek first serve.

Allowing Stepanek into the point and here we are, 6-6. It is giving the

crowd something to get their teeth into here. The first set belongs to

anybody. But he suffers the jitters now! That

is a surprise. Well still Murray can't get there.

The first set on a knife edge. This is good! You can feel the tension in

here. Stepanek would like to have that

two-hander back. It is not the shot he should have been going for in

that situation. Amelie is learning what it is to be

in the Murray camp! And again Murray, despite the

occasional misshot has his moment of brilliance and one more will give

him another set point. This what is we were expecting. In the nick of

time, perhaps. Moments that are all it might take to win this set.

UMPIRE: Mr Murray is challenging the call. An early loud call. This was

clearly right. Wow! The crowd deflates. What a

rally. Standing strong at the end of it, knowing any slip in that rally

and he was out. Yeah, what a surprise that was, because we

certainly didn't expect that sort of error from Murray. It just shows the

pressure. Stepanek has managed to inflict

enough pressure on Murray to stay in this first set. Still not a thing

between these two players. Again the chance will come Murray's

way. He is just looking for the one big

shot. Murray can't believe he mistimed that return of serve. He of

course expects to be immaculate on every return! I see in the corner to

add to the drama, up with of ballgirls has been carried off. Very

hot today. So Stepanek's moment then to have a

set point. He's done it. Hasn't he Wen it well?

Radek Stepanek takes the first set, a hard tussle, but he takes it 7-6.

Somebody who maybe in a minority of three who is delighted thab first

set is Petr Cech, the Chelsea goalkeeper. It is amazing how they

play hard and spend more than an hour playing every point hard and

you have to appreciate it. I have been sitting here and I'm draining,

I feel like I'm in a shower, but I'm delighted with the result. That

first set, high quality with the odd mistake. But it is the ebb and flow

of game and every point is almost a penalty shoot-out. I think the

standard of the game is brilliant. Some of Andy's shots are

mind-blowing when you see it close and Radek is taking him to the game

on his court. I think it has been one of best matches. You seem to

have the build of the modern tennis player, taufl, left-handed, have you

got a big-swinging serve? Can I do that obviously. Serve is my

advantage, because of my size. But I would say over all I can go on the

net, but my backhand is not up to scratch. Do you play tennis in a

cap? We used to play when Carlo was around after training and we had

good fun. He was a decent player and played as a kid. You would rather be

in Brazil than at Queens? Well it us one thing I'm missing. I will be

watching the game tonight and hopefully it will be brilliant for

England and involved in Chelsea. Someone has whispered in my ear you

have a new player next season. I don't know. Cesc fab gas. --

Fabregas. It is confirmed. Well it is a great addition. Can Radek win

now? Well, he took the game to Andy and let's see what is going to

happen. If we have a play we are such a quality as Andy, he can

always come back into the game. But he will have to work hard. OK. Work

hard on your backhand! I will. Thank you. A mass influx and exodus of

people, spectators taking their moment. The players have been ready

for some time. The wrong time or the Andy Murray to dwell on what has

just happened. These spectators just aren't fit enough! What is going on?

Everybody is leaving. Very thirsty no doubt. They're still leaving. I

mean they have been told a few times. UMPIRE: Sit please, thank

you. Ready for play. A bit of wall tennis again. Something for the

sponsors. They don't seem in any great hurry. Let's go to Petter Cech

again. I think he sounded surprised by the Cesc Fabregas news. Any way,

we are ready. Andy Murray a set down. There are still people coming

in. I think he was worried that John was going to say you have been sold

to Paris or something! Your football knowledge is - Paris St Germaine.

Which will America do in the World Cup?

Quite a tough group the United States, I can't remember who is in

it. Well straightaway at the start of

the second set, Stepanek is out and firing very quickly. Murray in a

corner. Brilliant. Wonderful. Celebrates his

own brilliance there. Plenty of running in those 35-year-old legs as

well. Wow! The best point of the match by a good way. Certainly from

Stepanek's perspective. Three break points.

trouble here. Stepanek a set up, a break up. A deafening silence inside

Centre Court at Queens, because the champion is in trouble.

All praise to Radek Stepanek, because he is playing very well

indeed. Absolutely. That was his best game of the match. Take notes

furiously to work on. He took a towel break as Murray was building

up a head of steam with his serves. In a grand position now, Stepanek.

He is serving against one of best returners in the game.

Still a long way to go in this match, even though Stepanek is up a

set and a break. As long as he keeps doing that,

Stepanek will be very hard to come back against. Stepanek has put 30

first settest serves into -- first serves into play.

Oh!. That is what happens when you're fatigued a bit mentally, a

few unforced errors can creep in. Everything is relative, it is not US

Open hot. Because the players have spent such a long time in Paris when

it was cold and rainy, this is a shock to the system.

That was impressive from Radek Stepanek, throwing in three aces

there. There is a stunned feel about the

crowd. This is not supposed to be they say. But there is never a

guarantee that Murray will win, against a high quality opponent.

good game. A quick game from Andy Murray. He does not want to let

Radek Stepanek settled. -- saddle. Andy Murray, trying to fight to keep

his title defence alive. We know who you will be playing, Kevin Anderson

came through his match. That was match point. 7-6 in the final set.

The number seven seed, Kevin Anderson, a struggle on court and

won, he is through to the last eight to face Andy Murray or Radek

Stepanek. Where he would be hoping to improve, where would that be, for

Andy Murray, Peter? He needs to put a more returns play. -- a few more

returns. That is not entirely in his own power, because Stepanek, he has

shown us with his serving, a break point down, three big serves, he has

shown that he is ready to rise to the occasion. I guess Andy Murray

has made a couple more errors than we might have expected from him.

There were key situations when he had passing shot, opportunities. He

would be most disappointed with how insecure his second serve has been.

Stepanek is taken advantage of some meet second serves and attacked

them. -- meek second serves. It is all about the return of serve

now. He needs to find a way to break through.

A great sliding serve into the body. Andy Murray had no chance to get the

strings onto the ball. He will get nervous as he gets

closer, even with all of his experience, he has not beaten a top

ten player since 2012 when he beat del Potro in Toronto.

Incidentally, del Potro is back hitting again after his rather

serious wrist surgery. He will be back on tour in Malaysia in

September. He made that delicate touch looks so

easy, and it is anything but. This high ball to totally stun any of the

speed off of it. A good effort. Very, very strong from Radek

Stepanek on his serve. He keeps moving ahead. He is itching to get

going, get serving himself, get something moving in his favour.

Stepanek, again, taking a bit of time.

crafting some shots with real delicacy. Juristic court coverage.

-- amazing court coverage. He has it. Stepanek is everywhere at

the moment. Murray hit this as if he was playing somebody a lot more

pedestrian. Stepanek got out there in a hurry.

This is so important here, because the break down is one thing. A

double break is a different matter. Andy Murray, again, having to wait.

Ordinarily, you would say that was a fairly straightforward one from Andy

Murray. A little bit out of kilter. He is being a bit more aggressive

than we might have expected. It is almost as if Radek Stepanek has

said, you had better put me on the defensive, because if you do not,

I'm coming after you. Stepanek has challenged.

He is quite happy just to have the little break.

He is off trying to pass that wall again. That is comfortably in. There

we go, he keeps it in there, just a break behind.

We talk about his three wins here, Andy Murray, at Queen's, 2009, 2011

and the last year, but in the intervening years, he has not done

so well. Perhaps... He lost to Mardy Fish in 2010, he lost his first

match against Nikolai Mahut a few years ago. Wiley is just one break

behind, you always fancy with his ability, and the opponent serve,

that he is still in there. You would have to think that Stepanek is due

to fall to just a little bit, but the way that he has played so far,

you never know. I have got the USA group for you, Germany, Portugal,

Ghana, it is what people have been saying, this is a ridiculous name,

this is the group of death, this is the toughest group apparent in the

World Cup that you have found yourself in, not you personally! It

is probably a positive results, even though Americans do not think like

that. If we come third in that group, it is probably more than what

we would be expecting. Stepanek, he is still in the driving seat. One

break up. He has not been playing well today,

Stepanek. I'm sure he is it, but not serving very well in particular. --

I am sure he is enjoying it. The challenge for Andy Murray, well,

Stepanek will challenge it. Mr Stepanek is challenging the ball on

left-centre serve. A late call on that front the judge. That is close.

A gasp from the crowd. Down to a millimetre. Stepanek is not

internally pleased about that. Again, Radek Stepanek, a little fist

pump. He moves on, he moves closer to what would be a big, big scalp.

In his long career, this would be right up there. This has been a

highly impressive serving performance from the man from the

Czech Republic. He seems to be getting even stronger. 72% first

serves made in this second set. To the pressure. -- hardly succumbing

to the pressure. Not quite himself at the moment. The

second serve does not have a lot of uptake on it. It is more of a slice.

The ball is just not dropping quickly enough.

If you hit up on this serve, then you put some top-spin on it, which

means that the ball will drop quicker. He is not doing that today.

Such good defensive work up until that moment from Andy Murray.

Stepanek is unlucky that it hit the sideline. It's loaded up. -- slowed

it up. He was to between that one. He have wanted to smash it. -- have

-- half wanted to smash it. Stepanek has played well. Andy Murray, sort

of an architect of his demise also, he has not been at his finest.

Unforced error coming from Andy Murray today, the count is as high

as it ever has been in his career. , boy. Early on in that rally, I

think that Andy Murray missed a trick. He had an opportunity to come

and take the ball out of the area. Each is the Conservative route. --

he chose. He is taking a moment to himself. A big point, a break point

for a double break. And what a piece of fortune for

Stepanek! It was a very good return from a very good serve, but Radek

Stepanek has the double break in this second set, one set up. Andy

Murray is on the brink. He certainly is. You would have to think, two

breaks up in this second set. It has go to be a commanding lead. -- it

has got to be. He had the perfect return. That was a huge piece of

luck. Before that, it was a sorry game in part from Andy Murray. Andy

Murray has attempted to be very aggressive in this second set. He

hit the ball with more power than, well, then I might have expected. --

fan I might have expected. If you unforced error 's have come along

the way. There may well be a postmortem afterwards if it doesn't

end well for Andy Murray. That great grass court run of his, going for

his 20th consecutive victory, the champion here last year, the

Wimbledon champion, of course. Andy Murray need help here, he needs

Radek Stepanek to miss a couple of first serves. Today, it is Radek

Stepanek, he has beaten Andy Murray once in previous encounters, and now

he is serving for the match. Still, even at the end, Radek

Stepanek looks to be in control. He sure does. A man that wins a

decisive run in the Davis cup has nerves of steel.

Toying with Andy Murray, playing with him, moving him around at his

will. Yes, that was just the cat and mouse point.

Andy Murray is challenging the ball. The challenge of a desperate man.

Worth the challenge, but three match point for Radek Stepanek. -- match

points. Mr Murray is challenging the ball.

It might end in this. It was called in. It would be down to Hawk-Eye to

decide if Andy Murray is still breathing in this match. Oh, it is

out! He lives! The crowd, as well, they say thank you, Hawk-Eye. Still,

two match points. And there it is. Into the net and

add, what a win for Radek Stepanek, but Andy Murray is beaten. The

champion falls. Not what this crowd expected. What they believed could

happen. The indestructible Andy Murray is gone, his grass court

streak is at an end. Stepanek played about as well as he could play and

first, Andy Murray seemed imperious and you would not have thought it,

6-2 in the first set tie-break that he was in command, but Stepanek kept

on whittling him down, and he would not go away. A rapid exit for Andy

Murray, stopping to sign autographs, but Stepanek, all praise due to the

player from the Czech Republic, and he gives his applause to the crowd

also, but that is a very, very impressive win from Radek Stepanek.

Andy Murray is out. Looking back at that, and

particularly the first set when Looking back at that, and

Murray had eight set point in the tie-break, you

Murray had eight set point in the away from this man, he got his first

set point. His coach will be proud of that little kick! A wonderful

performance from Radek Stepanek, well deserved, you took his

chances, but Andy Murray did give them to him. Andrew Castle and John

Lloyd watching that year in the studio, and Andrew, he had his

chances, he missed them, there will be a lot to discuss after this? Yes,

if you have eight set point, you should win the set. He backed off on

a couple. Yesterday, we were looking at the final game of Wimbledon last

year, he did not play with that kind of urgency today, but you do not

expect him to. He was trying to work up through the gears, but it did not

work. Lets air from Radek Stepanek. -- letters here. A fantastic game of

tennis, you played a great match. Thank you. I am sorry to beat Andy

Murray in front of his own crowd. The crowd here is always fantastic

and it is always an honour and a pleasure to play on such a great

Centre Court and the way that I played today, I'm very pleased with

my performance. I was serving pretty well against one of the best with

returns in the game, so that was key to the played today. Did you think

that the set was gone when you were down in the tie-break? I do not want

to have this thinking, I know it is close but it is far away, and it is

never over until the umpire says the first set, Andy Murray, so I had

been fighting until the end and the tie-breaker was definitely a decider

of the game. We were sitting with your team in the box, including Petr

Cech, the Chelsea goalkeeper, he says that he knows he very well, and

he says that you love playing players in the top ten because it

game to another level, is that what you felt out there today? Yes, when

you play the best in the world, you have to come up with the best, and

in front of such a crowd, playing the best players in the world, it

takes the best out of you, and is today, that an example. It again be

the champion here, can you go all the way here? I will go day by day.

-- if you cant beat the champion here, can you go all the way? I will

try to go as far as I can. Congratulations on a fantastic

performance. A great competitor, he has proved that over and over again

in the Davis Cup, so it would not be that easy a match. You feel that

Andy Murray let him get into that singles match and did not play his

best, and he broke on the opening game, and it all started so well,

but it's never really raised his game, the depth and wasn't there in

the ground shots and in the service percentage. If he had wob the -- won

the first set it wouldn't have a problem. The second set looked like

Rowland Garros tiredness. He played some casual shots. But all credit to

Radek Stepanek. He has so many different parts to his game and

gives you all different looks. I thought he was magnificent. But only

if he is allowed to get into the match and Andy Murray is usually got

at not letting people into the match. Do you remember Roddick in

2009 and he didn't let Murray play his game and Lendl came in to change

his game. I think he would have done that. Borough deck played the big --

but Radek played the big shots sue pshly. -- superbly. First credit to

Stepanek, but Murray will be a different player at Wimbledon

probably. If he #45d play -- he had played perfectly today, what will he

talk to Amelie about? Yes he lost here to Mahut here and went on to

win. And he is out of the same pod. They now how to nullify somebody who

is six or eight inches back than they should have been. It show what

is solid grass court and volley technique can still bring on this

surface. I thought it was thrilling to watch Radek play. It is nice to

see volleys. For Amelie and Andy what do they discuss and what do

they learn. Severance package! If he had lost Oehrlest early at -- lost

early at the French and lost today, there would have been concerns. But

he got to the semi finals of French. Grass is easy for him. He didn't

play as well as he can. What was it, the depth? I think his first settest

serve went off and -- his first serve went off and allowed Stepanek

to dictate and Stepanek's variety got him. He changed up the pats,

came -- pace, came in a lot more. He is one of the best at the cat and

mouse tactic. He got Murray a few times on that. It was an all round

good performance and Murray may take a couple of days off and start. This

match, we don't like to see him lose. Queens don't like to see him

lose. But this will have no bearing on Wimbledon. He has the confidence

of having a fair few matches, although this year as not been adds

good as other -- good as other years. He has not won a tournament

since Wimbledon. When he walks out at Centre Court, I don't think this

will have any real relevance. People won't understand that. But this is

the sort of thing that can happen. Would it have happened with Djokovic

or Rafael Nadal or Federer? Maybe not, but he is not them. He is his

mind man. Perhaps he needs a couple of days. The attention here, to be

away from it, maybe that is a positive. Go and get the

relationship working with Amelie, a positive. Go and get the

few days to work on the game and to figure out how

few days to work on the game and to No negative, apart from we are not

going to see him tomorrow. But I don't think that will be too big a

deal. It is getting used to the grass. When things are going wrong,

you don't have anything to fall back on if you haven't got used to the

surface. But he is a great grass court player. He nows how -- he

knows thousand play on grass. I think he needs a couple of days off.

He will be fine and Amelie and he will work it out. Very disappointing

for crowd here that Andy Murray, the defending champion is out. Radek

Stepanek is through. But let's take a check on some of the other

results. Kenny Anderson is through. Kevin Anderson. He will

results. Kenny Anderson is through. Stepanek in the next round. He came

through in three tough sets against Stakhovsky. Dimitrov is out on court

number 1. He is through in straight sets against Roger-Vasselin. He will

play Nieminen or Alexandr Dolgopolov, who are on court at the

moment. Earlier Feliciano Lopez came through a struggle against De

Schepper. He will play the second seed, Tomas Berdych. And this was

Tomas Berdych winning today. Our first match on Centre Court. Two

hours, just over two hours for just two sets. A long struggle for the

former Wimbledon finalist. But he is through. That puts you right

up-to-date. Coming up next on Centre Court, Stan Wawrinka, the world

number three, the top seed here. But he has a tough one against Sam

Querrey, the former champion, who is yet to drop a serve. But today is

the day it all get jupd way in wra still -- under way in Brazil. What

separates the great from the good? Style? Of course. Flair? Artistry?

Passion. That is a given. Learn from your mistakes. Always think about

what you missed. Never be Sachsed with what you've done. -- 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. The 12th is today. It starts with

Brazil/Croatia and you can listen to that live on Radio 5 Live tonight

from 9 o'clock tonight. We saw a picture earlier of a doubles team,

Silic and Sarr, Silic from Croatia and Sarr from Brazil. There is some

random game of football taking place. But the game that counts is

here in the players' lounge at the Queen's Club and it is about to

start. Three, two, one go! This is Andre Sarr against Marin

Cilic. Croatia against Brazil. This game has a long way to go. They're

playing 45 minutes each way. Neymar junior. You're very quiet at the

moment. Very focussed. Oh, my God. I hope it's not going to goo like this

tonight. -- go like this tonight. I'm worried about your keeper. How

proud are you about the World Cup being in Brazil. Very proud for us

it is a religion. To have the opportunity... One of the greatest

sporting events at home is just wonderful. Are you going to have a

chance to go to any games? No, none at all. Oh! That is O confident. We

will talk. What about you Marin, will you see any of the games? Well

tonight is 9pm kick off. We are going to sit around here. It is a

long way to Brazil. So I won't have a chance. There is only a couple of

minutes left. 4-1! It should be a reality later today. Who are the key

people for you tonight? The goalkeeper for sure! The final

whistle goes. 5-2 Brazil. Tonight will be different. It could be the

real score later tonight. I wonder who will be smiling later on. A lot

of fun in the players' lounge. It is a great tournament for the players.

Yes they love it. They know what they're doing here and know how to

keep the players happy and everything is organised perfectly

and everyone enjoys it. All the players are such keen sports fans. A

lot to look forward and a lot to discuss. What about this match. We

have seen one big upset with Murray going out and Stan Wawrinka has a

tough one against Sam Querrey. I wouldn't consider this to be a huge

upset if Querrey wins. I think Stan will come through. But Querrey on

grass, we have seen what he has done here in the past, he has just one

two matches without losing his serve and has only had four break points

against him. He is a great shot maker. If Stan Wawrinka is looking

to get some rhythm here, he is not going to get it. He will have to be

sharp on his serve and make sure he hold and hopefully wait for a chance

to get a break. Because there will be times when balls will be flying

past him. He also hits the ball very hard. It will be a big match between

two heavy weights out here. Sam won the title in 2010. He looks to be

back to his best. Well, it was a very good recovery after his loss

against James Ward. That I heard he was devastated by that. He was the

favourite and for him to have lost that match in the United States

against James. He was very nerve nous that match. Yes and now he is

on his way back and away from the spotlight and he has been on the

outside courts. I am sure he will have a go and will be dangerous.

Could be another interesting one and could be another long match. This

join this one. Andrew will start this one for us. COMMENTATOR: The

crowd just settling down. Page one of the Querrey play book. A

strong serve, coming down from six foot six.

Stan Wawrinka risking that backhand, making the error. Sam Querrey is

ranked number 78 in the world, which just doesn't seem right. Better than

that a high of 17 in 2011. He dropped eleven places in the

rankings this week. It is because of the computer points available at the

Grand Slam. A round difference over one year can make a big difference

on the computer. Down to 78 in the world, but a better player than

that, if that makes sense. Stan Wawrinka number three in the world

and ahead of Roger Federer. In all the talk of who would coach

Andy Murray and who he would announce, Magnus Norman should have

been top of the list. He is brilliant. A great thinker, a great

strategist. Lost on the 11th match point in the

Paris open. He never seeks the limelight and they have been working

together for 15 months or so. After they have been working for two

months together... I will it will you in a second. Stan Wawrinka last

year they have been working two weeks together. He went to Portugal,

a small tournament, lost the first set and won the tournament. He said

that was the key moment. He beat Ferrer on clay and is that

is when thought he is as good as he is. He is the owner of the sweetest

one-handed backhand in the game, Wawrinka. He has so much in his

game. He was so impressive and he lasted

out there. It was just Mag Nith sent. -- magnificent.

We talked about Swiss tennis. When you're Swiss number one, you have

got to be good, because Federer is in there! Stan Wawrinka who, won a

gold medal in Beijing, alongside his celebrated country man. He has

really come out of shadows. It does take some adjustment to be a Grand

Slam champion, your life does change. Things like Davis Cup,

imagine when he is lining up there and Roger Federer will play the

fifth match, because he is the number two. He has had to, of all

those years where, I mean, and he admires Roger Federer and is not not

an honour being number two to Roger Federer, but he was always sort of

in the shadows and won the Australian Open and the whole thing

changed. He won Monte Carlo this year, which was great. But me hassed

a a - but he has had a few dips. The French Open was the one I couldn't

understand. The last two sets I couldn't understand. He lost-2 and

6-4 in the next one. That was a strange result. It would be great

for him to get some matches here to get that Mojo back. He is a Grand

Slam winner and should have the aura about him that he deserves.

It wasn't well disguised that drop shot from Stan Wawrinka. You could

see this one coming from a mile away and it was a floater as well. Too

high. Querrey op to it easily. Stan Wawrinka's Australian Open

victory over Rafael Nadal in the final, easy to forget, because

Rafael Nadal was injured there during the course of the match. They

finished it. He has beaten Berdych Djokovic, 9-7 in the fifth.

Until Rafael Nadal was injured, Stan Wawrinka was up a set and a wreak

and o' - break and was demolishing him. It was a legitimate win.

Stan just saying there was a ball in that rally that was long. He won the

point and didn't want to stop just in case he hadn't seen it correctly.

Oh than that's got to be one of the luckiest shots you will ever see.

What, he didn't mean that? He knew nothing! This is staring at three

break points. I don't even know what you would call that shot. Here comes

the technique. Oh, it is a scooper! A first serve yes, but a big miss on

the forehand. Wawrinka is rewarded with a break of serve. It is the

first service break that has gone against Querrey in this tournament

and what a way to surrender it. It was a very sloppy game. 78th in the

world. It is 30 or 40 places beneath where you would think he would be.

Steve Johnson is at 63. Donald Young at 65. These are hardly household

names. No, it is the worst. It is the worst it has been in terms of

rankings and the expectation and I know that there is a lot of

criticism that goes around about what is going on in America tennis.

Because it is not in good shape, in the men's side certainly. The

college system still producing players are not? It hasn't been for

a while. The last good one was Isner. A lot of British players

could benefit from America college. It is a cut throat way to get your

tennis. Pressure tennis almost every day. And an education. Yes, I forgot

about that! Up Mr Querrey is challenging the

call. A query from Querrey! serve. He seems to open up too

early. You wonder where the power is coming from. Well done, that was an

awkward height and it came at him fast. He did well to adjust there.

It came at him fast and it was not easy. Took that very well.

Ofly variation on serving there. -- lovely variation on serving there.

On his own previous outing to this club in London, Stan back in 2011

lost to James Ward. He has had some good wins here has our James.

He has got such a good forehand, Sam Querrey, but it is not firing the

way it used to. It is a lack of confidence.

Whoops! Caught the line. Didn't quite have to go that close! His

opponent has already given up on the other side. Well, he only just made

that. Is pa part of US system? I think so.

You need to start to keep up to speed with all these coaching

changes. He didn't move up to that one. Expected that one to come

through. One of the first rules on grass, you should have to move your

feet and it is fast, but you have got to move up to the ball.

and paying the price. Two breaks, that should be good for the first

set. They would be serving with the new tennis balls in this wonderful

arena here. The wonderful thing about Querrey, he is great, but he

basically handed this away. He does not move his feet and has an error

in the bottom of the net. It is this kind of thing that his code would be

writing in the notebook saying, you cannot do that at this level.

Yes-macro his coach. You can spend a year and a half of your career doing

this, it is quite difficult. He might lose confidence. He will need

to grind it out at lower tournaments to try and get some wins. He has had

two Goodwins here. At the moment, he is just not at the races. -- he has

had two good wins here. Stan, he has played OK, but he has naturally had

to do much, and he is up a double break. He will certainly take it. He

will not complain, that is for sure. That will do nicely. A consummate

set. 21 minutes against Sam Querrey, it is not just the power.

It has had subtlety, the way that he approached the service, the

confidence to use the service box in the right way with different spins

and directions, I am very impressed with Stan, I know that everyone is

settling down after the Andy Murray loss, and it is boiling hot in here,

some people have got there a freshman, gone to the toilet and

that sort of thing, but I hope they have a chance to see him, because he

looks great. He is hitting very well. He did not have much

opposition in that first set, but you can only do what you can do. The

variety, painting the lines, the variation of Spain, the backhand,

immaculate as ever, some good volley action. I would be very surprised if

Sam Querrey dozen but up a better fight in the second set and back up

a better fight in the second set and his serve, he can walk to the other

side. He has got so many aces. He should not be losing the serve twice

in one set, not like that. A lovely, hot day here at Queen's Club, 26

degrees, probably add another three degrees, 4 degrees down on the

court. On the hard court, the heat reflects back. In Australia, at the

open, the ground really sizzles. The Good Friday and egg, make some toast

on it! -- you could fry an egg, make some toast on it!

Sipping 140 mph down there. -- zipping.

Sam Querrey is interesting, because he is an American that went pro

straight out of high school will stop he had an offer to go to the

University of Southern California, a wonderful university. My son went

there. Expensive! Yes. He was offered a scholarship and he

declined. He went to college. Whatever tat they had, Sam decided

that he would go straight to pro. -- whatever tat they had. He has made

$5 million. Good decision. Yes, that was the end of that!

Andy Murray has already gone out of the Championships in his second

match in the third round today, fighting against Radek Stepanek, a

play with too much know-how and experience. We will call it a slack

performance, just not 100% today. Certainly not a crisis.

Over in Germany, Rafael Nadal is 4-0 down to Dustin Brown. Roland Garros,

yes. That is a hangover result from

Roland Garros, I've think he pulled out, certainly, the last two years,

certainly last year, he said he would not do that again this year,

but it sounds like he isn't exactly in the best shape. He is down to is

seven, 4-0 down to Dustin Brown. It is 5-0 now. Oh, dear. He liked to

get a bit of fishing in after he wins the French Open, just to

satisfy that commitment, presumably. If you days off. -- a field days

off. -- a few days off. He has got a strange forehand, when it is on, it

is dangerous, but not today. At the moment, he does not have the range.

A lot of dust came up. He did not need to make this anywhere near

close, Wawrinka. This is where the England team you to take their

penalties, straight down the middle, smack it right at the

goalkeeper. -- needs to take their penalties.

Oh, yes, that is one of the shots of the game right now. A beauty. In

cricket it would be called getting your foot to the bounce. He puts the

foot down at the front and you can do anything with that, going any

direction. That might be the best forehand that

Sam Querrey has hit. There are too many rallies where

Querrey is not getting Wawrinka out of position. He is getting Wawrinka

on the run far too much for the American to like it.

The last time we saw Sam Querrey on our screens, he was easy against

James Ward in the Davis Cup against San Diego. That was a difficult loss

for him in February. This is unexpectedly one-sided. I

say unexpectedly, there is a gulf in the rankings and at the moment, Sam

Querrey is behind. He's an experienced campaigner suffering a

lack of confidence at the moment. He is playing against a man who is

enjoying himself. It is his first visit to the UK since the O2 last

year. Wawrinka was in the semifinals there last year. We have got Hugh

Grant with us in there. Not sure about his tennis, his golf is handy.

Yes, his golf is good. It is funny, you look at him, and you can hear

him talking in that kind of run, language! It is brilliant, isn't it?

! -- Romcom language. He will be hacked off that we have found him!

Tough luck! Everyone taking the opportunity to go and get a drink

and come back in. He read this one well. Unlucky with

the net call, but would have been a lucky winner if it had gone over. A

good stretch. It is definitely on the line, just a

question of if it is on the long line or not. Yes.

So, the volley on his second serve. Very confident.

The footwork is gorgeous. Just hopping and skipping around the

court. A big, strong man. Moved lightly.

Once again, Querrey not finding the right spots. It is just not wide

enough. That is what happens against Wawrinka if you do not do enough on

the ground strokes. He has annoyed himself there,

Wawrinka. 15-30, second serve, would love double break.

So, a chance to break, not taken from Wawrinka, but he is still in

control of this match. Certainly looking impressive at Queen's Club.

Plain sailing from here? Maybe. Stan in control, the big shock of the

day, Andy Murray is out, beaten by Radek Stepanek, he has proven that

he is the man for the big occasion. Andy Murray with out of sorts. He

had eight set point in the first set tie-break but lasted 7-6, 6-2, so

the defending champ in his ad, T body had to say to the press

afterwards. I thought the first set was a pretty high standard. I

thought he served pretty well during the match. I have only got myself to

blame that I lost the first set, because I do not know how many set

point I had, but a lot of them were on my serve. So, on this service

especially, you should not be losing set like that, so for me, that is

what is disappointing about this match. Unfortunately, I was broken

in the first game on the second set, and I could not quite get it back.

But yes, the tie-break was, it was tough. He had his chances. He had a

bad stay here, but over in Germany, the grass court tournament, a bigger

shock, the world number one, Rafael Nadal, he is out, beaten by a player

ranked 85 in the world, Dustin Brown, 6-4, 6-1, Nadal out in

Germany, Murray out in Queen's. Grasp operations not going well. But

it is going well for Stan at the moment. -- grass preparations not

going well. Sarah- 15, not a crisis. -- zero

-15, not a crisis. There is not for a much that you can

do about that anyway. Classy tennis. -- there is not very much. This is

just too good. He is backing up his serve pretty

well. Punishing ground strokes. Some great matches developing. I

know that Andy Murray has gone out, which is a big disappointment to

everybody here, least of all to him and his coat, family morels Mo,. --

least of all to him and his coach, Amelie Mauresmo.

It is those sort of point where Sam Querrey is being let down. No

pressure on him, just close the backhand long by about a foot. That

was casual. Did that hit the ground before it hit the net? Not one of

his best! Put it that way! Here it is again. It is so good,

that shot, one handed down the line. Goes to the highest part of the net,

and he is just so sure of it. It is just perfect.

That could be the killer blow. A set and 5-2, the top seed making things

very difficult for Sam Querrey. We are coming to the end of our

transmission, you can continue to watch on the red button and also

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, you can enjoy its late into the evening on the red

button. We are back tomorrow on the red button at 12:30pm and live on

BBC Two at 1pm. An eventful day, a big shot here, Andy Murray is out.

Goodbye. -- a big shock.
