Quarter-Finals

:00:43. > :00:48.A decade ago, four-time Queens champion Andy Murray played Tim

:00:49. > :00:54.Henman in Bangkok. It was the last time he faced a fellow countrymen in

:00:55. > :01:03.a tour event until this week. Yesterday he beats capitulate bed

:01:04. > :01:08.and -- Bedene get creamed's club. Today he takes on car Edmund on a

:01:09. > :01:15.second Battle of Britain in two days, with the semifinal place up

:01:16. > :01:18.for grabs. Who would believe it? Ten years for one and two have come

:01:19. > :01:25.along back-to-back. Remind you of anything? We couldn't resist. There

:01:26. > :01:30.is some very confused people waiting for the 211 to Waterloo this

:01:31. > :01:33.morning. It has been back-to-back matches against Brits from RA,

:01:34. > :01:38.proving the state of British tennis is much healthier than in years gone

:01:39. > :01:41.by. The weather this week is making us all feel very poorly and I'm

:01:42. > :01:46.afraid it's not a great forecast today. Good afternoon. We've had

:01:47. > :01:50.plenty of rain here this week but nothing prepared us for what

:01:51. > :01:54.happened yesterday evening. There was thunder, lightning, flashlights,

:01:55. > :01:58.everyone running for cover. Hopefully no more of that today. The

:01:59. > :02:03.good news is the son is out and played under way the men's

:02:04. > :02:07.quarterfinals are on today. Four matches to look forward to. Steve

:02:08. > :02:13.Johnson putter Richard Gasquet is facing Marin Cilic, former champion.

:02:14. > :02:21.Edmund has made so many improvements over the past 12 months. Milos

:02:22. > :02:27.Raonic, the A 's machine and Gillies Miller, who take ten match points

:02:28. > :02:33.yesterday faces Bernard Tomic, -year-old Australian. Whilst look

:02:34. > :02:38.forward to and were drawn to Murray against Edmund because his mental

:02:39. > :02:43.and the man he has admired growing up, Cal Edmund, you will face him.

:02:44. > :02:46.How lucky is Kyle Edmund and Dan Evans and James Ward and everyone

:02:47. > :02:52.else to have someone like Andy Murray to look up to? At this point,

:02:53. > :02:56.he's single-mindedly trying to go after Novak Djokovic. Don't worry

:02:57. > :03:02.about this drop, I think drug which is in his mind the entire time. -- I

:03:03. > :03:06.think Djokovic. Andy Murray is making new standards of himself. The

:03:07. > :03:10.10th man to be in all four Grand Slams. How has someone to look up to

:03:11. > :03:14.and I look up to Andy Murray as well. We get accused of being too

:03:15. > :03:19.much like a fan but having watched his progress from being a kid here

:03:20. > :03:24.to watching him just do everything in trying to be the best he can be.

:03:25. > :03:27.I found his story quite inspirational. It is something to be

:03:28. > :03:32.admired and that is rubbing off on Kyle. He says he goes to Miami and

:03:33. > :03:36.not poorly hits with Andy, Andy Letson stay in his apartment, they

:03:37. > :03:39.go to basketball games together. That is how you learn because you

:03:40. > :03:44.see how professional and his dedication and commitment and

:03:45. > :03:51.discipline. Did you have somebody like that who took you under their

:03:52. > :03:57.wing? No. Not really. But the result was he rose. Billie Jean King was my

:03:58. > :04:01.hero but she was in a different stratosphere. Fantastic. You just

:04:02. > :04:05.watch how they operate and go about their things and to listen to what

:04:06. > :04:09.Andy has to say about tennis and how he sees an opponent and sizes up the

:04:10. > :04:14.situation on court it must be invaluable. One thing about Kyle

:04:15. > :04:17.Edmund, watch out if he is tired on the tennis court today. I don't

:04:18. > :04:20.think so but he had a fridge delivered to his new flat this

:04:21. > :04:27.morning and they knocked on the door at 6:30am. No! He got a text to say

:04:28. > :04:33.it was going to be 7am and detained -- turned up early. The plumber is

:04:34. > :04:37.coming later. All of these lovely domestic things come his 21 years

:04:38. > :04:42.old and setting up his flat. He had as at this phase in his life that is

:04:43. > :04:45.probably quite special for him and have a crack it Andy Murray is

:04:46. > :04:49.fantastic. You should allow himself the possibility of winning this but

:04:50. > :04:54.tennis white liberal think anyone can see that happening. Remember

:04:55. > :04:59.what he did against David Goffin in the Davis Cup. It was like a racket

:05:00. > :05:04.wielding Superman. And a break-up in the third. And Kyle is built, make

:05:05. > :05:08.no mistake. He has done the physical work and continues doing that. He

:05:09. > :05:12.must add to his defence around the court and movement but sheer

:05:13. > :05:16.physical power, Kyle is as good as anyone in this draw. He is a strong

:05:17. > :05:20.lad at 21 and will relish the opportunity and if he sees a

:05:21. > :05:27.forehand, just go for it. Nothing to lose, play hard. If he served at

:05:28. > :05:31.75%, it would get close in one or two sets. You have to see Andy

:05:32. > :05:34.coming through it. It will be interesting is the second match. We

:05:35. > :05:40.will head out live in a moment. Earlier today there was a's silence

:05:41. > :05:43.held here to reflect on the shocking events yesterday in West Yorkshire

:05:44. > :06:25.that led to the tragic death of MP and mother of two, Jo Cox.

:06:26. > :06:36.Thank you ladies and gentlemen. Remembering Jo Cox, who died

:06:37. > :06:40.yesterday. That minute's silence was held just before the first of

:06:41. > :06:45.today's quarterfinals, the match on Court just now, Steve Johnson, the

:06:46. > :06:49.American, has taken the opening set and tie-break seven points to three

:06:50. > :06:53.but former champion, Marin Cilic, has come back in the second set, and

:06:54. > :06:57.here's 3-1 up with a break serve. Let join John Lloyd and Andrew

:06:58. > :07:00.Cotter. COMMENTATOR:

:07:01. > :07:11.A very different Marin Cilic at the start of the second set.

:07:12. > :07:19.Look at those two. Old war stories. What percentage by getting from your

:07:20. > :07:42.player? Honouring the four-time winners,

:07:43. > :07:48.some of them are here today, Roy Emerson is here. McEnroe is among

:07:49. > :08:43.those. That will do. An illustrious audience watching on

:08:44. > :08:48.today as Marin Cilic maintains the one break advantage in the second

:08:49. > :08:57.set. Good to see Roy Emerson up there. McEnroe, Becker, Roy Emerson

:08:58. > :09:05.just before the Open here that one for times and then you have Boris

:09:06. > :09:11.and Andy Roddick. Andy Murray himself, of course, going from five

:09:12. > :09:16.this year. It has always been a great tournament. Look at that list

:09:17. > :09:17.of winners. Lleyton Hewitt loved it here, he will be with the BBC at

:09:18. > :09:32.Wimbledon. He is here today. He's just saying to Boris I've

:09:33. > :09:36.played three and a half hours the other day with Raonic and that is

:09:37. > :09:48.what has happened. Not used to doing that.

:09:49. > :09:53.Becker, of course, you won his first 17 and went on shortly after to win

:09:54. > :10:05.Wimbledon. There we go, I obviously recognise

:10:06. > :10:09.him now, the Young speaking to Chris commode, the Chief Executive of the

:10:10. > :11:14.Apec -- ATP Tour. And Will Young makes good music.

:11:15. > :11:23.A half-hearted attempt to get overmanned Cilic -- over mountain

:11:24. > :12:01.Cilic. He has not been too successful with

:12:02. > :12:08.his challenges, Steve Johnson. I think even he accepts that this one

:12:09. > :12:12.might not go his way. Amedy Arnie point everyone to the big screen.

:12:13. > :12:56.Call stands. Steve Johnson is quick. Like he was

:12:57. > :12:57.out of that point. Very quick steps to the forehand side. Cotton himself

:12:58. > :13:06.out of trouble. -- got himself. Altogether remains just one break

:13:07. > :13:21.behind. It really has been most impressive,

:13:22. > :13:26.Steve Johnson, at these championships so far. Seeing of

:13:27. > :13:28.Michelle Gasquet and then add a remote real. There is great Boynton,

:13:29. > :13:54.his coach. -- Craig Boynton. Again, Steve Johnson just working

:13:55. > :14:26.the slice. Those two so often. Beautiful. He proves too good

:14:27. > :14:31.against Johnson. This deal of Cilic. A lot of bite on that slice and it

:14:32. > :14:36.stays low. Cilic did well to get the racket underneath the ball. That

:14:37. > :15:17.whips right across his shoulder there.

:15:18. > :15:31.That is a good server, the wide forehand but it must be wider than

:15:32. > :15:48.that. That is more likely Cilic we know.

:15:49. > :16:04.5-2 now. He did think after losing the first

:16:05. > :16:11.set in the tie-break that he might come roaring back, and so it has

:16:12. > :16:19.proved. Marin Cilic, world number of the Cuban -- 13. Used to work with

:16:20. > :16:25.Bob Brett, a great course before super coaches came along and took

:16:26. > :16:33.all of the plum jobs. Bob Brett had coached Ivanisevic. A great talents

:16:34. > :16:42.to work with. I think he also worked with a Young John Morley. Yes, he

:16:43. > :16:47.upgraded after that. Again, I US Open winner from a few years ago.

:16:48. > :16:54.Quarterfinalist at Wimbledon in the last two years.

:16:55. > :16:58.The time of year that he loves heading to grass and beyond that

:16:59. > :17:04.come to the US Open. As we have mentioned, very fond of

:17:05. > :17:18.this tournament as well. So, to Steve Johnson, trying to

:17:19. > :18:16.remain in this second set. He did not do enough on the return

:18:17. > :18:19.but at least he is figuring out the body serve and make that return

:18:20. > :18:30.back, nice, solid volley from Steve Johnson. Pretty comfortable. Little

:18:31. > :18:39.mutterings of appreciation again from Steve Johnson, the return of

:18:40. > :18:40.Cilic. Has certainly got better than in the first set. Cilic was really

:18:41. > :18:46.struggling then. Johnson moves along, it was just

:18:47. > :19:04.that one blip earlier in the set. Cilic now with a chance to level

:19:05. > :19:46.things up. This is the first of the quarterfinals.

:19:47. > :19:59.That has got going. I can't believe it. -- to go in. Steve Johnson

:20:00. > :20:26.nearly off court. That must be the highest lob.

:20:27. > :20:32.The forehand has been good in this set. Let him down in the

:20:33. > :20:48.tie-breaker, which he ultimately lost. But spot on.

:20:49. > :21:00.He takes it as moves briskly and impressively through the second set,

:21:01. > :21:04.Marin Cilic, and level things up. I say level things up, but this, all

:21:05. > :21:12.the momentum is now with Marin Cilic, a far stronger player. We

:21:13. > :21:16.know how things can change, because Steve Johnson looked strong after

:21:17. > :21:20.the first set and off he went for a bathroom break, Cilic gave himself

:21:21. > :21:24.talking to and it was so different. He looks conservative in the first

:21:25. > :21:30.set, Cilic, like he wasn't confident of himself, he wasn't returning

:21:31. > :21:34.well, Mr couple of forehands in the tie-breaker and was not quite there.

:21:35. > :21:38.Did not play badly, but had not raised his game like you would

:21:39. > :21:44.expect a player of his class to do, but when the match got close since

:21:45. > :21:50.that second set started he has gone up a level come as sharper and more

:21:51. > :21:53.aggressive. Seeing the ball earlier and has been much more impressive.

:21:54. > :22:00.Let's look at Cilic and where he has put his serves. The yellow balls are

:22:01. > :22:06.the first serve, the blue second serve. He gets plenty of all width

:22:07. > :22:12.on it. A few in the middle as well. It is a good variation and he is at

:22:13. > :22:17.one out to the backhand side that we see, he uses the power serve that

:22:18. > :22:22.time and the amazing kick that he has where he jumps up it up so high,

:22:23. > :22:26.not as high on the grass as other services but on the hard courts when

:22:27. > :22:29.he won the US Open that is a particularly effective serve because

:22:30. > :22:32.it is not easy to get on top of the ball and directed back into court

:22:33. > :22:37.without giving yourself too much space to cover on the next shot. He

:22:38. > :22:42.uses that very well. It is not always about pace, it is placement.

:22:43. > :22:46.It is not a monster servers, it is big enough but from a guy his size

:22:47. > :22:53.you might think he has a sizzler that gets over 130. It is a

:22:54. > :22:56.placement serve but very good. The second serve is extremely good, and

:22:57. > :23:00.again, you don't always measure serves on the peas of the first

:23:01. > :23:09.serve, it is the combination of the first and second and in that regard

:23:10. > :23:16.he is one of the best stock -- of the best. Johnson just checking the

:23:17. > :24:03.sun, starting his third set. That might have taken out will Young.

:24:04. > :24:13.A lot of passions in this match when Johnson's serve gets returned it

:24:14. > :24:17.comes down to Cilic hitting the forehand and Johnson trying to work

:24:18. > :24:26.that slice and defend and occasionally attack and come in

:24:27. > :24:32.behind it. Trying to avoid what feels him at the start of the second

:24:33. > :24:43.set, Steve Johnson. He has broken early on.

:24:44. > :24:57.Good ball. That is class. To be able to feel that drop shot off forehand

:24:58. > :25:06.with that much pace. That is fantastic, one of the best we will

:25:07. > :25:16.see in this entire week. It is a nice way to hold serve. What a shock

:25:17. > :25:25.that was. Just for a moment in that service you feared for him.

:25:26. > :25:31.Responded very well. But this shot here, most players would have been

:25:32. > :25:35.happy to have hit that back into court, but he could see it early

:25:36. > :25:38.enough and somehow had the confidence to feel the ball for a

:25:39. > :25:42.drop shot and take the pace of a ball that was coming at him with an

:25:43. > :25:50.immense pace and drop it just over the net. It was fantastic. Not the

:25:51. > :26:05.sort of shot you work on in practice either.

:26:06. > :26:23.I challenge, I think, from Steve Johnson.

:26:24. > :26:33.Rights to challenge. That is wide. We are all having a good time. It

:26:34. > :26:41.just touched the line. That is too he has got wrong.

:26:42. > :26:52.It is all happening now. Another one coming in.

:26:53. > :27:25.He is not giving his opinion on this one. Call stands.

:27:26. > :27:34.He did that purposely, brought Cilic in with the short backhand.

:27:35. > :27:40.He made that dramatic. We know this is a big point, the umpire just

:27:41. > :28:17.confirmed that. Mr Cilic has two challenges

:28:18. > :28:22.remaining. This is more likely Steve Johnson we saw in the first set,

:28:23. > :28:26.very impressive and Marin Cilic is letting himself slip away for a

:28:27. > :28:45.moment. Three break points for the American.

:28:46. > :29:07.Chased this one down so hard. Almost away.

:29:08. > :29:23.One of the three remains for Johnson.

:29:24. > :30:14.Deuce. So aggressive on these break points, Cilic.

:30:15. > :30:27.What an answer that is from Marin Cilic, 0- 40 in the deciding set.

:30:28. > :30:32.Reels off the next five points. Yes, that was nothing to do with Steve

:30:33. > :30:36.Johnson, he couldn't do anything about that, it was pinpoint service

:30:37. > :32:09.accuracy. Five superb points from Cilic.

:32:10. > :32:19.That is great play. Great service game from Steve Johnson, keeps his

:32:20. > :32:25.nose just in front in this deciding set. All to play for.

:32:26. > :32:34.I did think once Cilic had worked so hard to hold his own serve, he might

:32:35. > :32:40.be have a real go at Johnson's serve. But Johnson just not giving

:32:41. > :32:45.him a chance. No, he started off this set really well, Johnson. Got

:32:46. > :32:50.batted around a bit towards the end of the second set, but came out here

:32:51. > :32:56.and re-established himself. Add that 0- 40 chance, and Cilic reeled off

:32:57. > :33:01.five quick points. But one set, anything could happen on a grass

:33:02. > :33:06.court now. Johnson looks pretty confident. Looking to go further

:33:07. > :33:12.than he has before in an ATP Tour event. In terms of the majors, Steve

:33:13. > :33:16.Johnson's breakthrough within 2012 at the US Open when you reached the

:33:17. > :33:20.third round. He lost to Richard Gasquet. He has also been to the

:33:21. > :33:27.third round at the Australian Open three times. But that is just about

:33:28. > :33:32.his level. But you can see he could move beyond that. I think the big

:33:33. > :33:36.result was his first round here, where he beat Richard Gasquet. That

:33:37. > :33:43.is the first top ten player he has beaten in his career.

:33:44. > :33:47.Psychologically that would be a nice one to remove, having had it weighed

:33:48. > :33:50.on his mind. Now he will believe he can go up against the top guys and

:33:51. > :33:57.go through. That meant a big difference to him. Just like him to

:33:58. > :34:00.come over his backhand a bit more. A good slice, but it puts you in a

:34:01. > :34:09.defensive position a bit too many times.

:34:10. > :35:06.Too far away from the ball, that one, got down so low.

:35:07. > :35:18.Once again the number five seed is going to have to find something.

:35:19. > :35:40.Staring down some rate points and now 0- 30. -- break points.

:35:41. > :36:09.Too accurate and powerful from the Croatian.

:36:10. > :36:46.And again, success in that corner for Cilic.

:36:47. > :37:17.Again, he has had some scares in this serve. 0- 40 down in his

:37:18. > :37:23.previous service game and 0- 30 down in this one. I did say Steve Johnson

:37:24. > :37:29.was looking to reach his first semifinal. He did reach the

:37:30. > :37:33.semifinal in Valencia, where he lost to Roberto Bautista Agut. This his

:37:34. > :37:35.first appearance at Queen's and enjoying the experience. 2-1, the

:37:36. > :37:51.decider. Pinpoint accuracy. Big forehand. Hit

:37:52. > :37:58.that one, looks like it was going to go wide, but a lot of width, 90

:37:59. > :38:38.miles an hour. You could see the extreme spin.

:38:39. > :38:53.Again, has to be so accurate to work the drop shot against Johnson, but

:38:54. > :38:57.it wasn't there. He's so quick. If it had been on a hard court and it

:38:58. > :39:03.had bounced up a little higher, would have got it. He made it, but

:39:04. > :39:19.it was too low. A good effort to even get his racket to the ball.

:39:20. > :39:52.Just wide, and again Johnson holds fairly comfortably. Still worrying

:39:53. > :39:59.times for the number five seed. Marin Cilic on serve in this

:40:00. > :40:02.deciding set. SUE BARKER: The crowd enjoying the quality of tennis on

:40:03. > :40:07.display in this quarter final and no doubt looking forward to the next

:40:08. > :40:11.quarterfinal as well, as Andy Murray takes on Kyle Edmund. Andy and Kyle

:40:12. > :40:16.were both out practising today. Andrew Castle is with me. He has the

:40:17. > :40:20.practice in and has been looking good in both his opening matches,

:40:21. > :40:25.hasn't he? He looks like he's doing just enough to get through. This has

:40:26. > :40:31.been the big story this week. I have really felt Andy has been playing

:40:32. > :40:36.knowing Ivan Lendl is over there. Kyle, probably not the biggest match

:40:37. > :40:41.of his career, but his biggest one. The Davis Cup final debut last year

:40:42. > :40:45.was enormous, but another good step for him today. It doesn't matter it

:40:46. > :40:49.was a walkover last time, this time nothing to lose against Andy Murray

:40:50. > :40:53.and he will go for it. When I say nothing to lose, it doesn't mean he

:40:54. > :40:57.won't care, but go ahead and throw the firepower. Practising his serve,

:40:58. > :41:03.that will be key, winning his service games? If he doesn't get

:41:04. > :41:06.points on his serve, he has no chance of winning. He only has two

:41:07. > :41:11.or 3% chance of winning anyway. But it will be good to watch his

:41:12. > :41:14.progress. Good forehand and backhand as well. We saw some rather dark

:41:15. > :41:20.clouds, I am pleased to say they have gone past. Let's go back and

:41:21. > :41:24.continue to enjoy this first quarterfinal. COMMENTATOR: The sun

:41:25. > :41:33.is shining down. On this famous old court. It has seen some champions,

:41:34. > :41:40.and again, four-time winners, a few of them are around, Boris Becker,

:41:41. > :43:00.Lleyton Hewitt. Marin Cilic has won it once. Still in a bit of trouble.

:43:01. > :43:28.Frustration, he knew he was well in that rally.

:43:29. > :43:38.It was a great get, the first one, but just lost his connection on the

:43:39. > :43:43.way back in. Don't you love it when players fling themselves? Not giving

:43:44. > :44:38.this one up. A full-length dive there.

:44:39. > :44:48.An easier service game for Marin Cilic.

:44:49. > :44:57.Getting towards the business end of the set and match. This is where you

:44:58. > :45:11.expected Cilic to have the ability to up his game a little bit.

:45:12. > :45:59.Wide from Cilic. A lovely touch again from Steve Johnson. It really

:46:00. > :46:02.is, another gorgeous shot. The last one, when a forehand came at him he

:46:03. > :46:09.hit a forehand drop shot and this time a backhand drop shot. And sure

:46:10. > :46:14.enough, it was successful. A superb game he is playing here.

:46:15. > :46:25.Again, that variation with the Serbs. -- serves.

:46:26. > :46:31.At that stage, the business end of things, this is when the tension

:46:32. > :46:40.does creep in, but no sign of it from Johnson. He handcuffed Cilic

:46:41. > :46:45.with the serves, so accurate, didn't give Cilic a chance to get into the

:46:46. > :46:49.game. A very good service game. He looks so confident. I think that win

:46:50. > :46:57.against Richard Gasquet in the first round, we go back to his college

:46:58. > :47:01.career, which was in which he was the champion for two years, he had

:47:02. > :47:04.an astounding record of winning 72 matches in a row. That is pretty

:47:05. > :47:12.remarkable, there are some pretty good players at college level. They

:47:13. > :47:18.play a no ad system as well, which makes it risky. Matches day after

:47:19. > :47:22.day, to win 72 matches in a row and win two titles in a row, that is

:47:23. > :47:27.pretty special. A good match player under pressure. And again, off the

:47:28. > :47:31.two, perhaps look slightly more comfortable at the moment. We did

:47:32. > :47:34.think when we saw that second set and Cilic moving through it so well,

:47:35. > :47:41.maybe Johnson's days were numbered, but again the ebb and flow of the

:47:42. > :47:46.tennis match, the force was with Johnson in the first set and seems

:47:47. > :47:52.to be with him again. Still with serve, but Cilic always chasing

:47:53. > :47:55.things slightly, serving second in this Teesside inset. Seats are

:47:56. > :48:01.filling up in the sunshine here. Andy Murray against Kyle Edmund to

:48:02. > :48:40.come. They will play the winner of this match.

:48:41. > :48:46.Again, the noise of appreciation from Steve Johnson.

:48:47. > :49:29.That would have been outrageous, if he'd made that shot.

:49:30. > :49:37.Again, solid from Cilic. Pick a winner. Match now on a knife edge,

:49:38. > :49:51.as we get to 4-4 in the decider. Not easy serving from this end, with

:49:52. > :50:32.the sun. Late, late call and Cilic

:50:33. > :50:40.immediately challenged. The ball is called out.

:50:41. > :50:45.No umpire enjoys it as much as he does.

:50:46. > :51:10.It was a good call eventually, though. The call stands.

:51:11. > :51:18.Touch of the net from Steve Johnson. Rarely seen. The umpire steps in.

:51:19. > :51:50.Wow, what time this to happen. Any part of the body... Mr Cilic has

:51:51. > :51:52.one challenge remaining. We couldn't really see from here. The umpire

:51:53. > :52:20.saying it was his foot. Maybe just moved on as we lose the

:52:21. > :52:21.shot. We have to trust the umpire, very good umpire. Big moments, break

:52:22. > :52:51.points. What an effort, but it's wide and

:52:52. > :52:59.Johnson is broken. What a game. Cilic moving through to the

:53:00. > :53:04.semifinals an Steve Johnson and on. So had to put something like that

:53:05. > :53:08.behind you. Very difficult. Interesting of the talks to the

:53:09. > :53:14.umpire or not, because he is a very fair player, Steve Johnson. His

:53:15. > :53:19.reputation is impeccable. Let's see... He doesn't seem to be. You

:53:20. > :53:23.know if you've done it, obviously you will feel it as a player. I

:53:24. > :53:28.don't think he's too annoyed about it. Probably annoyed more at himself

:53:29. > :53:34.than anything. If he for sure new in his mind he hadn't touched it with

:53:35. > :53:41.his feet he would be up at the net disputing it. As you said, a very

:53:42. > :53:46.fair player, Johnson. A few players would be haranguing the umpire. He

:53:47. > :53:52.is going to have to try and break Cilic now. It definitely affected

:53:53. > :53:56.him on the next point, his mind was rattled. It is a pity, because he

:53:57. > :54:00.has played a heck of a match here and it will be sad if it comes down

:54:01. > :54:05.to that point, which it may well do in the end, because that was a big

:54:06. > :54:10.point. If his foot did slide, it must have slipped that the last

:54:11. > :54:14.fraction and hit the net. Very unlucky. This would be enormous the

:54:15. > :54:19.Steve Johnson to get into the semifinal. Marin Cilic has been many

:54:20. > :54:23.times before and won the US Open. I think it matters slightly more to

:54:24. > :54:28.Steve Johnson band Cilic, but Cilic did enough to be there himself. And

:54:29. > :54:37.now he is serving for a place in the semifinals.

:54:38. > :54:49.Mr Johnson is challenging the call, the ball is called in. A look at

:54:50. > :54:51.this call, one born of frustration, not entirely backed up by belief. On

:54:52. > :55:28.the line. The call stands. And suddenly the world is against

:55:29. > :55:53.you. Mr Johnson has two challenges remaining.

:55:54. > :56:30.Just came out of that forehand there.

:56:31. > :56:39.So, Marin Cilic, champion in 2012, with two match points.

:56:40. > :56:46.Takes it at the very first attempt, and the number five seed moves

:56:47. > :56:52.through, after a good few problems against Steve Johnson. Who couldn't

:56:53. > :56:55.repeat his efforts after seeing the number four seed, Richard Gasquet,

:56:56. > :57:01.couldn't do it against the number five. Cilic goes through. A hard

:57:02. > :57:08.earned victory indeed for the Croatian.

:57:09. > :57:16.What a way for it to end the Steve Johnson. Not saying he would have

:57:17. > :57:22.won that game in any case, but the little touch on the net possibly a

:57:23. > :57:27.turning point. After those good wins, he was undone by Marin Cilic

:57:28. > :57:31.today. It is Cilic who will go through to play the winner of their

:57:32. > :57:36.next match on Court, which everyone is excited about. Andy Murray

:57:37. > :57:45.against Kyle Edmund. Steve Johnson moves on. With thoughts of what

:57:46. > :58:02.might have been... And Cilic mentioned he won in 2012 against now

:58:03. > :58:09.banding -- Nalbandian. Kyle Edmund with other plans. This is the

:58:10. > :58:26.winning moment for Marin Cilic. Cries of celebration. Marin Cilic is

:58:27. > :58:30.safely through to the semifinals, the first man through to the last

:58:31. > :58:35.four after that 3-set victory over Steve Johnson. Let's get the

:58:36. > :58:40.thoughts of Cilic, talking to John. Many congratulations, a tough old

:58:41. > :58:44.contacts? Very tough, I think Steve was playing pretty good today and

:58:45. > :58:50.serving well. Unfortunately I played a little bit bad in that first set

:58:51. > :58:55.tie-break. I had to dig out this match from the second and third set.

:58:56. > :59:01.It wasn't easy. The first game in the third set 0- 40 down and in the

:59:02. > :59:03.second zero to 30 down. But generally I am happy with the way

:59:04. > :59:08.I'm playing and hopefully I can continue. Have you ever played a

:59:09. > :59:12.match where perhaps the key turning point, right towards the end of the

:59:13. > :59:19.game, was a decision by an umpire about a player touching the net?

:59:20. > :59:24.Well, I haven't. I had a few times in my career where I was touching

:59:25. > :59:28.the net and it wasn't good. Obviously it can turn around the

:59:29. > :59:33.condition of the court. But sometimes it can happen, its grass,

:59:34. > :59:38.and you can't really stop close to the net. I think it was a pretty

:59:39. > :59:41.good match today. You won here four years ago, got the final beer after.

:59:42. > :59:46.It must be one of your favourite events on the circuit? Absolutely, I

:59:47. > :59:50.really enjoy to play here. Grass suits my game and when I am in good

:59:51. > :59:56.form I cannot wait play really well. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's

:59:57. > :00:00.match. I will play either Andy or Kyle, so it will probably be a bit

:00:01. > :00:04.of a crowd against me, but I'm going to enjoy that. I always enjoy the

:00:05. > :00:08.atmosphere here and thanks to everyone for their support. Good

:00:09. > :00:12.luck tomorrow, a bit, on behalf of the crowd. Marin Cilic, through to

:00:13. > :00:16.another semifinal here at Queen's Club. If I could ask you all to stay

:00:17. > :00:20.in your seats pleased, because we are going to have a presentation in

:00:21. > :00:24.a few moments with four of the greatest champions ever to play here

:00:25. > :01:49.at Queen's and four of the absolute giants in the history of tennis.

:01:50. > :02:13.So, for the fourth time, McEnroe holds up the cup.

:02:14. > :02:18.As I'm sure you're aware, Andy Murray is trying to win the Queens

:02:19. > :02:20.this year for the fifth time but a lot of great players have won it

:02:21. > :02:26.four times and we will have a special presentation to four of the

:02:27. > :02:29.legends of Queen's Club. In no particular order, but because I'm

:02:30. > :02:39.looking at him just now, please welcome the one and only Mr Boris

:02:40. > :02:48.Becker. And then in order of seniority, John McEnroe. And another

:02:49. > :02:57.special presentation to him last year, Lleyton Hewitt. And for some

:02:58. > :03:00.of you who are steeped in the history of tennis from the era when

:03:01. > :03:07.Australia really did rule the tennis world, Roy Emerson.

:03:08. > :03:13.If I can have a quick word with all of you, Boris, this was the

:03:14. > :03:16.tournament that launched you in the tennis world because three weeks

:03:17. > :03:21.after winning here he won Wimbledon for the first time. It was my very

:03:22. > :03:26.first tennis tournament I have one and obviously I went on to win

:03:27. > :03:30.another two or three. It is a place I'll remember for the rest of my

:03:31. > :03:36.life because of the winning are members like an here and it is a

:03:37. > :03:38.wonderful place. When you look at pictures of you as a 17-year-old

:03:39. > :03:45.does it feel like it to someone else? It was. I was going to say it

:03:46. > :03:51.is my younger brother. But I don't have one. Eventually I have to admit

:03:52. > :03:56.it was me. What is your favourite memory of playing here? One match

:03:57. > :04:01.that sticks in your mind? My first professional tournament was at

:04:02. > :04:07.Queens and I played a guy, I lost in the finals to Tony Roach. I thought

:04:08. > :04:13.to myself, I want to somehow, somewhere, learn how to volley like

:04:14. > :04:20.this guy. So I think I got somewhere near his level and the only other

:04:21. > :04:23.thing I want to say now is why didn't they have a challenge system

:04:24. > :04:30.when I played? I would have been proven right. What is interesting

:04:31. > :04:36.now is your coaching Brimelow is Routledge and you're sitting there

:04:37. > :04:40.in the box -- meals round which. You're now in line with the service

:04:41. > :04:47.line and realise what a hard job it is. I realised it then, I did have a

:04:48. > :04:52.strange way of showing it. Lleyton, your youngster in comparison to

:04:53. > :04:57.these guys. You're full -- year for titles, is the one that sticks out?

:04:58. > :05:01.Public my first final at the time. Makes Aburas was one of the best

:05:02. > :05:06.grass court players and a guy I idolised and looked up to. To be out

:05:07. > :05:11.here on these grass court bundled up the trophy after beating him the

:05:12. > :05:16.finals was special. Given the value of your generation, when you have

:05:17. > :05:20.this man on your right from the era of Newcombe and Road, what is he

:05:21. > :05:25.need to tennis in Australia? All of those guys mean so much. They fought

:05:26. > :05:29.so hard to give us the great opportunity to be professionals and

:05:30. > :05:33.set up the ATP Tour and we all these guys so much. It is a great honour

:05:34. > :05:38.standing alongside not just ride with these other two champions here

:05:39. > :05:49.today. Roy, you are the wily one who won this title four years a row. It

:05:50. > :06:00.is incredible. What was Queen's Club like in the early 60s? I played here

:06:01. > :06:07.in 54. He were winning it in the 60s though. Well, nine years later. I

:06:08. > :06:15.love Queens because we did not have any practice courts out of Wimbledon

:06:16. > :06:20.at that time. Our warm up was here and I played indoors a lot here

:06:21. > :06:26.because when it rained and moved indoors and trained indoors. It used

:06:27. > :06:33.to render as well? Yes. I have fond memories of Queens. Tell us, these

:06:34. > :06:38.cute stands that were used to, what was the attendance like in those

:06:39. > :06:46.days? Nothing like this. This is magnificent. But we still had a lot

:06:47. > :06:53.of fun back in those years. As I said, I would not have won Wimbledon

:06:54. > :07:04.without the end all courts here, which I trained on. -- indoor. I had

:07:05. > :07:13.the good fortune of winning, I think I lost a Labour lav in 62. Not a bad

:07:14. > :07:22.man to lose two. He was a bit of a pain to play against. It is just a

:07:23. > :07:26.great place. Fantastic to have you here and Lleyton and John and Boris

:07:27. > :07:29.and the reason we are doing this is I had a quick word with Stephen

:07:30. > :07:34.Farrell and you will make some special presentations to these guys.

:07:35. > :07:37.Tell us about these. Last year Andy Murray joined the ranks of the

:07:38. > :07:41.legendary players we have an court today and a couple of others in

:07:42. > :07:46.winning this title for a times and this year we wanted to celebrate our

:07:47. > :07:50.814 champions Castle around the site you can see pictures of the fall

:07:51. > :07:54.great players we would have with us on court and Anthony Wilding and

:07:55. > :07:58.Major Ritchie and Andy, so we invited Roy to be a special guest of

:07:59. > :08:03.the tournament this year and we were delighted when John and Boris and

:08:04. > :08:09.Leighton could also join us today. This is a tournament with fantastic

:08:10. > :08:12.champions and we are proud to have this presentation. Jim has been the

:08:13. > :08:17.tournament referee here for a 30 minute and agree the groundsman I

:08:18. > :08:23.going to present trophies. Lleyton obviously has won but we have three

:08:24. > :08:29.here. David Law, Leighton will present this to Roy Emerson. He read

:08:30. > :08:37.-- here we are, two giants of Antipodean tennis. Roy Emerson,

:08:38. > :08:51.fantastic. And Jim, would you like to give that to John.

:08:52. > :09:08.And Graham, to Boris, if you would. So, ladies and gentlemen, for

:09:09. > :09:11.legends, genuine legends of tennis, Lleyton Hewitt, Roy Emerson, John

:09:12. > :09:23.McEnroe and Boris Becker. Wonderful scenes on Centre Court and

:09:24. > :09:28.wonderful to recognise the legends on court who have entertained the

:09:29. > :09:32.crowds over the years. And all smiles on Centre Court. Four of the

:09:33. > :09:34.game's greatest. They have won this title four times but next on court

:09:35. > :10:15.is a man who is aiming for five. And he's playing well. Andy Murray

:10:16. > :10:18.will be facing fellow Brit Kyle Edmund in our next quarterfinal.

:10:19. > :10:25.John Lloyd is with me in the studio. That was so much fun. Rate senses of

:10:26. > :10:29.humour. They are all great, Roy Emerson told me some stories about

:10:30. > :10:32.Queens come played on the wood and he was the fittest in his

:10:33. > :10:38.generation. The equivalent of Dokovic or Nadal. He would come out

:10:39. > :10:41.of the wood and play for two hours and do Juan want and in the

:10:42. > :10:45.afternoon he would play five sets of singles every day for a week and

:10:46. > :10:48.would tire out all the practice partners. They were treated them in

:10:49. > :10:52.because he would exhaust them because he was so fit. He always

:10:53. > :10:56.believed that you have to play a fifth set better than your first

:10:57. > :11:00.set. That was his motto. Such a great era for Australian tennis. And

:11:01. > :11:07.also listening to Boris, you forget he was only 17 when he came here,

:11:08. > :11:10.unseeded at Wimbledon. It was an incredible storage. I don't think

:11:11. > :11:16.that will happen again. Never. After he won it I remember, people said,

:11:17. > :11:19.can you win Wimbledon? I don't know what the odds were but it was

:11:20. > :11:25.ridiculous and he went and won Wimbledon. I had practised with him

:11:26. > :11:29.about a month previously on clay and I was practising with him and Bob

:11:30. > :11:35.Brett and we looked at him and thought, he's a good player but at

:11:36. > :11:39.the -- a bitter role. 60s led to his old and the trophies here at

:11:40. > :11:43.Wimbledon. OK, we know that we are clocking about. As for back at

:11:44. > :11:48.Wimbledon, handmade times does he mention the challenge system? He

:11:49. > :11:54.loves it! It would have been funny if he had been here. Would it have

:11:55. > :12:01.been the same McEnroe? In some way, yes. He would have questioned the

:12:02. > :12:06.Hawk-Eye. Exactly! We have Andy Murray coming up next and four

:12:07. > :12:10.titles he has one, incredible achievement, and going for five. We

:12:11. > :12:13.have had Soomin Lee great players playing here come as bees and is

:12:14. > :12:19.amazing players along the journey as he mixes well to court behind Kyle

:12:20. > :12:22.Edmund, it is an incredible record. He just keeps on these records are

:12:23. > :12:31.astounding, these Grand Slam records. Ten finals and two wins in

:12:32. > :12:35.slams in an era where we have seen some ridiculous players at this top

:12:36. > :12:38.level to compete with them. Coming into Queens if he has a chance of

:12:39. > :12:41.winning five with the standards drop has had in the last few years when

:12:42. > :12:48.he has played and company French Open on the grass, it is

:12:49. > :12:52.magnificent. All these players, every player you speak to loves

:12:53. > :12:56.records, they love beating records and holding records and Andy Murray

:12:57. > :13:00.wants to win this tournament but don't go onto five, that will mean a

:13:01. > :13:04.lot to him. It is interesting, in tennis people think about world

:13:05. > :13:08.rankings but to players, the rankings don't mean it, it is about

:13:09. > :13:14.titles. The play. Obviously Andy would like to be number one in the

:13:15. > :13:20.world at some stage, which surely it will be. It is all about titles,

:13:21. > :13:25.winning tournaments and slams, that is what you are for and they fight

:13:26. > :13:28.for a new work hard for. As far as Kyle Edmund goes, he's speaking

:13:29. > :13:33.yesterday about how much he has looked up to Andy and admired him

:13:34. > :13:39.and has gone and trained with him. It is always difficult when you play

:13:40. > :13:42.one of your heroes. I don't knew if you will remember who you please

:13:43. > :13:46.come to intimidating to see them at the other end. It is right, the good

:13:47. > :13:49.thing is he has practised with him so many times and been a key member

:13:50. > :13:53.of the Davis Cup, so that will certainly help. He will have got

:13:54. > :14:02.used to that, which is something great. It is a great match for Kyle.

:14:03. > :14:06.What a chance to go up against the man, Andy Murray. And all of these

:14:07. > :14:10.practice sessions they've had and gone play against him to see where

:14:11. > :14:14.he is that in his level, when you play like Kyle Edmonds, hang around

:14:15. > :14:17.the top players. Not just on the cord come off the court, learn what

:14:18. > :14:22.they say and do and how they go about their game. You can only get

:14:23. > :14:26.better when you do that. Murray has changed so much over the years

:14:27. > :14:34.physically. He has taken it to a new level. He, Djokovic, Nadal and

:14:35. > :14:39.there. Sometimes 10-hour days, not just on the court, in the gym,

:14:40. > :14:44.Pilates, stretching. There is more to it than just hitting tennis

:14:45. > :14:49.balls. Yes, people do not understand what goes into it at this level. I

:14:50. > :14:56.know it is all sport but at the top, it is ridiculous. Let's face it,

:14:57. > :15:00.that is the only site of the tennis court that you are in complete

:15:01. > :15:03.control is your physical ability, so when he goes on the court Andy

:15:04. > :15:08.Murray knows there's basically in his mind he feels he is fitter than

:15:09. > :15:11.anyone else. Novak Djokovic to argue about that but in his mind he does

:15:12. > :15:15.not think there is anyone he plays that can run as many balls down as

:15:16. > :15:21.he can't, particularly over five sets. It is a great weapon when you

:15:22. > :15:23.go on court. Speaking of weapons, two different matches, using

:15:24. > :15:29.different weapons in both. Yesterday against Bedene, it was a super game

:15:30. > :15:34.from him and raised his level when it mattered, towards the latter

:15:35. > :15:38.stage of the match. I thought he played very well, complete contrast

:15:39. > :15:41.to playing Mahut in the first round, who was covering the net and giving

:15:42. > :15:47.him a target. He had to work the ball around and Bedene played very

:15:48. > :15:53.well. I loved his attitude since he came on the court. He has been very

:15:54. > :15:59.sharp, he is focused and once this. He has had a couple of niggles, but

:16:00. > :16:03.it has been positive and I think he's playing very well. For this

:16:04. > :16:07.tournament and Wimbledon looking ahead, he cannot be in better shape

:16:08. > :16:12.than right now after the French Open. Such a variety of shops on

:16:13. > :16:17.display. The choices and as every turn the ball comes over to him. The

:16:18. > :16:22.thing with Murray as we streak about him here, a British treasure. But

:16:23. > :16:25.overseas the public love him because he brings to the court something so

:16:26. > :16:31.different. People say today that a lot of tennis is a bit the same in

:16:32. > :16:37.some ways, but not Murray. He has so much variation. Every shot in the

:16:38. > :16:41.book. He is so quick, he has it all and people love that, they love his

:16:42. > :16:47.style. The drop shots, the logs, a death touch. He has so much feel.

:16:48. > :16:51.The service, the weapon, he has improved his second serve in the

:16:52. > :16:55.last two months. He changed it. He has made alterations and that is

:16:56. > :17:01.brave when you are already world number two. Guess why? He is not

:17:02. > :17:05.number one. He wants to be number one. Everything there is to get that

:17:06. > :17:10.level he will do that, which is why this man, a Van Ligman, is back in

:17:11. > :17:13.the picture. Alongside Jamie Delgado, that seems to be a dream

:17:14. > :17:18.team for him, really good friends with Jamie, so nice to have a friend

:17:19. > :17:24.as well. He's also a college coach with Gillies Miller, he raised him

:17:25. > :17:29.up the rankings as well. A bit of a worry yesterday with the right

:17:30. > :17:33.shoulder. We hope that is OK. But as the Kyle Edmund, we saw him standing

:17:34. > :17:38.next of Murray, he has physically changed as well. He is strong. No

:17:39. > :17:43.bad that -- no doubt about that. Using very good shape. We all speak

:17:44. > :17:47.that weapons in the game, big first serve and forehand. His backhand

:17:48. > :17:52.definitely improved. The thing he has to work on is his defending is

:17:53. > :17:56.not quite as good. The quick movements, he is not quite there

:17:57. > :18:00.yet. But he will improve, he is a good match player and loves a

:18:01. > :18:04.challenge and I cannot wait dizzy how he reacts to this. I hope Yumbis

:18:05. > :18:09.is the occasion, think he will and he will go out and put everything on

:18:10. > :18:11.the mark and see where he is at the level of Andy Murray. I think he

:18:12. > :18:17.will have learned a lot from playing in the Davis Cup tie. Making your

:18:18. > :18:21.debut in the final, it cannot get bigger and he thrive. He just ran

:18:22. > :18:24.out of gas because nerves and everything else, but the first two

:18:25. > :18:30.sets he was making golfing look like an average. Was brilliant. Should

:18:31. > :18:35.embrace this occasion. He had his first win over a top player against

:18:36. > :18:40.Gillies Simon, and some points from that, speak about weapons. His

:18:41. > :18:44.forehand is world-class. It is big. You busy the backhand has improved.

:18:45. > :18:48.It is a weakness but I don't think so any more. You cannot press on

:18:49. > :18:53.that side, the forehand, you can see the whip, not afraid to go into the

:18:54. > :19:00.net, which is good. He is becoming an all-round player and for British

:19:01. > :19:03.tennis and Davis Cup, his best surface is probably clay, which we

:19:04. > :19:09.haven't had from any years. He is coming in as a number two and if

:19:10. > :19:14.Andy doesn't play he will be a solid number one. It is looking good. And

:19:15. > :19:18.he was asked yesterday and said he is a potentially top 20 player. That

:19:19. > :19:25.is pretty good. Sadly top 50, will not disagree with top 20. Andy knows

:19:26. > :19:28.better. He has been around him so he will know, these players don't say

:19:29. > :19:32.things like that unless they mean it. He must make things happen

:19:33. > :19:36.today, like he did against Gillies Simon. He has to use his weapons and

:19:37. > :19:41.not get too much involved in the long rallies because he would win

:19:42. > :19:44.them. No, it is a dividing line when you go up against a player above you

:19:45. > :19:48.because you have to go slightly outside your comfort zone. You'd

:19:49. > :19:52.want to go too far ready areas, all over the place but if you go and

:19:53. > :19:56.play like a normal match he has no short so as to be aggressive and

:19:57. > :20:00.when he sees an opening there be no visitation. He may be has to make

:20:01. > :20:04.some more errors, even on the second serve or have to go more than

:20:05. > :20:08.normal. Maybe a few more double faults but he has to gamble. If he

:20:09. > :20:12.goes out and displays his game, that will not be enough. The Maastricht

:20:13. > :20:17.extra. He was speaking about how he has learned so much from Andy,

:20:18. > :20:21.including dealing with life on tour. He has added to his team,

:20:22. > :20:27.nutritionist, there is more to it than just having to get the diet

:20:28. > :20:31.fight and training right, all the injuries sorted. It is one of the

:20:32. > :20:36.great regret I have from when I played. I learned too late, hang

:20:37. > :20:39.around with the winners, the real winners. If you can hang around them

:20:40. > :20:42.and be around them in practice sessions and learn what they do of

:20:43. > :20:46.the court and had to get prepared, you will do pretty well. I ran the

:20:47. > :20:50.top guys whenever you get a chance because you will be a better player

:20:51. > :20:55.if you do that. Thank you. We know what to expect from Andy but this

:20:56. > :21:00.will be a test of nerve and belief for the 21-year-old Kyle Edmund.

:21:01. > :21:01.Let's sit back and enjoy this with Peter Fleming and Andrew Carson.

:21:02. > :21:06.COMMENTATOR: Thank you. You were married to

:21:07. > :21:14.Chrissy, that was hang around with the winner. We will contact you at

:21:15. > :21:19.the end of the set. Or whatever. This will be fun. The sun is

:21:20. > :21:26.shining, to quarterfinal day here. Two Brits playing each other, a very

:21:27. > :21:47.good Young one serving to a legendary middle-aged Andy Murray.

:21:48. > :21:55.Good to hear Andy Murray turned as middle-aged. Which makes us one foot

:21:56. > :22:23.in the grave! -- termed. On the first page of the Kyle Edmund

:22:24. > :22:28.playbook you will see this, big first serve, short reply, good

:22:29. > :22:29.footwork and then this wonderful, natural Rakitic speed through the

:22:30. > :22:35.ball. Very explosive. A settling start. 40-0 in the first

:22:36. > :23:10.game. Nice settler. Big crowd, this. A big

:23:11. > :23:13.arena to play in, the Davis Cup final. Peter Fleming has played, how

:23:14. > :23:23.many? Three. What was the biggest one? They were all pretty big. In

:23:24. > :23:26.terms of people watching? I guess, Cincinnati against Argentina. How

:23:27. > :23:31.does it affect you? When you play in front of a big crowd can get under

:23:32. > :23:35.the skin. It is exciting, it is always exciting. I'm sure Kyle is

:23:36. > :23:41.very nervous for this match, good that he first to got the first game

:23:42. > :24:10.-- that he got the first game under his belt.

:24:11. > :24:21.That is the Kyle Edmund supporting roles. They have obviously been had

:24:22. > :24:47.shopping together. Friends, coaches, agents, physios.

:24:48. > :24:50.There is a nutritionist somewhere called Glen as well. He works with

:24:51. > :25:11.both of these players. He will be neutral today.

:25:12. > :25:26.Tough ball for Andy Murray to deal with. A nice opportunity here early

:25:27. > :25:28.for the man from Beverley. He has won six of the first seven points

:25:29. > :26:30.here. Great start. Interesting in these early stages to

:26:31. > :26:33.see how Murray plays and where he plays against Kyle Edmund. If you

:26:34. > :26:36.want to look at an opponent and dissecting, look at the way Andy

:26:37. > :26:41.Murray plays against him on the three big points from 1530, Murray

:26:42. > :26:51.going to the Edmund forehand side each time on serve.

:26:52. > :27:00.The slide serve as such an important asset, especially on a grass court.

:27:01. > :27:06.In the dos court -- deuce court because it takes the opponent well

:27:07. > :27:09.out of court, stays low, sits through, difficult to return. Maybe

:27:10. > :27:30.steadier on the backhand return than the forehand? Perhaps.

:27:31. > :27:38.The old Daisy Cutter on the backhand side. No daisies here. But he will

:27:39. > :27:41.have taken a couple of millimetres of the grass, look at this one, that

:27:42. > :27:45.was the one from Edmund, sideways across. I really probing a short

:27:46. > :27:57.ball. It is the overhead, the missed one

:27:58. > :28:17.on the first point has caused this trouble as much as anything.

:28:18. > :28:25.That time the serve jamming Murray in the body, did not really get the

:28:26. > :29:00.strings on the ball as he would have liked.

:29:01. > :29:08.He doesn't miss many of those. He normally goes cross-court. Did not

:29:09. > :29:15.have quite enough time to go crosscourt, the approach just enough

:29:16. > :29:20.bite. Two break points saved. The sun to the first time a bit of a

:29:21. > :29:27.factor this week from the end Edmund is serving from.

:29:28. > :29:33.That is well done, three are wrote for the youngster.

:29:34. > :30:55.On a grass court you have two volley behind people, if you volley into

:30:56. > :31:01.the "People are running on so well these days and Murray won't miss a

:31:02. > :31:05.passing shot like that. Not enough time to cover those, is there,

:31:06. > :31:09.Peter? No question. Interesting tactic from Kyle Edmund. I'm sure on

:31:10. > :31:15.paper it sounds like a great idea, are mixed things up, serve and

:31:16. > :31:22.volley occasionally, but on break point down, Andy Murray is perhaps

:31:23. > :31:28.the last guy that that strategy will work against, simply because he is

:31:29. > :31:31.such an effective return. Puts the ball back into play almost every

:31:32. > :31:38.time, and often into awkward positions. Took five days off after

:31:39. > :31:41.completing his set of Grand Slam finals by making the French Open

:31:42. > :31:47.final where he lost to Novak Djokovic. Five days off to recover

:31:48. > :31:57.physically and emotionally. A fine clay court season he had. The

:31:58. > :32:01.weather, so far so good today. And despite all the rain we have had

:32:02. > :32:07.this week, the court appears to have dried out quite a bit. The footing

:32:08. > :32:12.looks a lot more secure than it did in the first couple of days. Yes,

:32:13. > :32:21.the corporate guests are making their way in, after dining. People

:32:22. > :32:25.always like to have a pop at the prawns amateurs, but it is much

:32:26. > :32:30.better than prom damages here, superb stuff. These corporate

:32:31. > :32:34.sponsors pay the bills and provide the field and stadium we are all

:32:35. > :33:00.enjoying, so we will show a little bit of patience - this time!

:33:01. > :33:10.That is a difficult shot to attempt, Murray's backhand screaming for

:33:11. > :33:15.Edmund to change to rich in on it. That is about the most difficult

:33:16. > :33:49.direction he could have picked. In change direction.

:33:50. > :33:56.And that perhaps is the area of the game Kyle Edmund has improved the

:33:57. > :33:59.most in, over the last six months or so. The backhand has become a

:34:00. > :34:21.weapon. Not all good news for the Murray

:34:22. > :34:24.family today on the tennis court. Jamie Murray, the world number one

:34:25. > :34:37.and a moment in the doubles, with his partner Bruno Soares, have lost

:34:38. > :35:10.in a final set tie-break to Chris Guccione and Andre Sa.

:35:11. > :35:14.The most keenly anticipated match, I would say, at the tournament so far,

:35:15. > :35:59.this all British quarterfinal. Murray's forehand was an absolute

:36:00. > :36:01.rocket, the one prior to that forehand up the line from Edmund. He

:36:02. > :36:23.did well to steer it into the court. Every big point Murray is serving to

:36:24. > :36:29.Kyle Edmund's forehand. Kyle needs to adjust to that and take away the

:36:30. > :36:33.slice serve, it is clearly Andy's favourite serve. An big points, move

:36:34. > :36:43.over a few inches, don't give it to him.

:36:44. > :36:47.Wouldn't be surprised if he changed the direction on this one, now he's

:36:48. > :37:26.up. Really got a lot of explosive, fast

:37:27. > :37:43.twitch fibres, Kyle Edmund. His forehand is an absolute weapon.

:37:44. > :38:24.A bit nervy. Certainly a serve that Murray was shocked with.

:38:25. > :38:48.A couple of donations, the last one particularly, when he missed double

:38:49. > :38:51.fault in the second set. A superbly played game by Edmund, that

:38:52. > :38:53.certainly will raise his spirits. Certainly not the case, though, the

:38:54. > :40:15.Andy Murray. Edmund making good use of the first

:40:16. > :40:41.ball. Watching Kyle played the other day

:40:42. > :40:47.in his first match, it was the first time I've been able to see him live

:40:48. > :40:51.in a while. To think it me, first as backhand has improved. Secondly, he

:40:52. > :40:56.moves up from the back of the court so much better than he previously

:40:57. > :41:00.did. Clearly he has been working on his first step into the court,

:41:01. > :41:30.taking the ball early, giving opponents a little time to react.

:41:31. > :41:46.Here at Queen's Club, a quarterfinal between two British players, Kyle

:41:47. > :41:51.Edmund from Beverley in Yorkshire. He benefited from the withdrawal of

:41:52. > :41:54.Paul Henry Matthew, the French player, in the second round, having

:41:55. > :42:00.beaten another Frenchman, Gilles Simon. Better introduce you to some

:42:01. > :42:04.of the people in his box. I think we will see a lot of Kyle Edmund in

:42:05. > :42:11.years to come. In the blue T-shirt is Ryan Jones. Alan Jones, many of

:42:12. > :42:17.you will remember, that is his son. On the right, Fraser Wright, a

:42:18. > :42:22.friend of Kyle's, as well as looking after some of his business aspects.

:42:23. > :42:27.Ian on the left, a physiotherapist, in the white T-shirt. He has his own

:42:28. > :42:33.practice in north London and will be spending more time on the road. They

:42:34. > :42:38.are interesting, it's good. 21 years old, spending his prize-money in the

:42:39. > :42:43.right way. And Tom Davis, just out of shot. A fine player himself, a

:42:44. > :42:52.coach. He is from Beverley as well, and a good player himself. So the

:42:53. > :42:56.support group are in there. Also a young lad who has a brain tumour

:42:57. > :43:00.wanted to spend time with Kyle this week and see some tennis. They have

:43:01. > :43:09.become friends. That is the professional setup. Mum Denise and

:43:10. > :43:10.dad Stephen sit elsewhere, they separate the personal and

:43:11. > :44:07.professional. This forehand of Kyle Edmund's...

:44:08. > :44:11.This can do damage. This kid packs a punch, both with the serve and the

:44:12. > :44:27.forehand. Backhand improving as well.

:44:28. > :44:34.Average forehand speed of Kyle Edmund, 84, that is filled with

:44:35. > :45:20.adrenaline. Average, 84. That is big.

:45:21. > :45:27.Interesting comment from Andy there, you're over thinking on your serve

:45:28. > :45:31.again. Good point. The goal really is to think as little as possible

:45:32. > :45:37.out on the court, at least while the ball is in play. In between points,

:45:38. > :45:39.OK, fine, think about tactics. But when it in play, just react and hit

:45:40. > :45:58.it to the target. Lots of forehand return Mrs from

:45:59. > :46:01.Kyle Edmund so far and still at 3-3 and playing well. -- forehand

:46:02. > :46:15.misses. Yes, it is starting to appear that

:46:16. > :46:19.Andy is not just hitting his favourite serve, the slice, but

:46:20. > :46:38.targeting a perceived weakness in Edmund.

:46:39. > :46:45.And that's the problem with the body serve, if you miss the target, was

:46:46. > :46:51.trying to slide this intermarry's left hip, but if you missed the

:46:52. > :47:07.target it is in the hitting zone, punished. -- into Murray's.

:47:08. > :47:12.Dear oh dear, that's horrible, that's two of those. Playing it a

:47:13. > :47:17.little bit too quick. Perhaps looking up into the sun as well from

:47:18. > :47:21.this side. That right hip coming through a little early, and that

:47:22. > :48:11.chest as well, maybe, getting sideways map. A big one, 0- 30.

:48:12. > :48:18.You can count those misses. On one hand. A cardinal error for a player

:48:19. > :48:58.of his standard. Oh, yes! Good work there from Andy

:48:59. > :49:11.Murray. Well, that's how well he's moving,

:49:12. > :49:17.goodness me. That was passed in, if he didn't dive... He had to. Well

:49:18. > :49:25.handled from Edmund there. Good work. We had Begovic here the other

:49:26. > :49:30.day, the Chelsea goalkeeper. He would be pleased with this one. Look

:49:31. > :49:34.at this. Plays it well, Kyle Edmund, just plays it across court. Looks

:49:35. > :49:42.like it might have got past him. He did well. Good split step. You can

:49:43. > :49:48.see him here, land Carroll, he can go either way. Virtually the whole

:49:49. > :49:56.net covered. At what age do you have to stop doing that, because you lose

:49:57. > :50:02.all sense of grace and poise? The moment you finish. Well, I think

:50:03. > :50:08.that age gets higher and higher each year, when these players come more

:50:09. > :50:14.and more astute as to how to remain fit, how to rehab injuries. I think

:50:15. > :50:21.the days of players thought of being over the hill in their late 20s are

:50:22. > :50:28.over. All these guys seem so fit going into their 30s. What was it,

:50:29. > :50:34.50 players in the French Open draw were 30 or over? Amazing stat. Kyle

:50:35. > :50:39.Edmund one of the good young and is, for sure. People are still filtering

:50:40. > :50:45.in here. There are narrow walkways. And quite narrow seat is, as well.

:50:46. > :51:03.With a break of serve, Andy Murray. And serving with the new balls. That

:51:04. > :52:42.one seemed to get to the fence very quickly.

:52:43. > :52:52.Forehand again. You are right, every big point Murray is serving to

:52:53. > :52:54.Edmund's forehand. It would be noticed by other players, in

:52:55. > :53:19.particular other players' coaches. You get to a certain age and certain

:53:20. > :53:23.position, certain ranking in the game, and at that point your game is

:53:24. > :53:27.well-known in the locker room and other coaches who talk all the time,

:53:28. > :53:32.and are around the game. It's their job to notice these things, where to

:53:33. > :53:54.serve, what strengths and weaknesses has. -- somebody has.

:53:55. > :54:04.We talked about how Murray makes so many returns, and yet in the last

:54:05. > :54:06.year especially, he hits seconds serve returns with a great deal of

:54:07. > :55:25.power. Murray seems in a state of shock,

:55:26. > :55:27.really. Especially when hitting passing shots. So deadly accurate

:55:28. > :56:00.most of the time. He is big but he is pretty mobile,

:56:01. > :57:00.as well. Pretty interesting set, this. There

:57:01. > :57:05.have been breaks of serve. Andy Murray not really troubled, playing

:57:06. > :57:09.50-60% of what we know he can. Looks completely in control, like it was

:57:10. > :57:14.against the British number two, Aljaz Bedene in the second round,

:57:15. > :57:20.played yesterday. Ivan Lendl, big news that he is back on board. That

:57:21. > :57:25.is the coaching set up talking with Judy. It is interesting, to bring

:57:26. > :57:32.somebody else like that in and it is the talking point of the week. He is

:57:33. > :57:35.the man who was at the helm of Murray's game when he had all his

:57:36. > :57:40.greatest successes. So it has to be a great idea that Murray brings him

:57:41. > :57:46.back. I was surprised, but delighted. If we want to see the

:57:47. > :57:51.best out of Andy Murray, and that means beating Novak Djokovic, Ivan

:57:52. > :57:54.Lendl has to be the man. No question, Ivan Wendell has a

:57:55. > :58:00.straightforward approach to the game, a no-nonsense approach, if you

:58:01. > :58:03.will. -- Ivan Lendl. I think Andy respects it, respects just about

:58:04. > :58:21.everything out of his mouth. Just having to wait as people

:58:22. > :58:23.settle. And Andy Murray serving for the first set of this quarterfinal

:58:24. > :58:56.here at Queen's. That was a mental error, Murray

:58:57. > :58:57.expecting the return of serve to land beyond the baseline. With

:58:58. > :00:05.unprepared when it didn't. Comfortable hold. Murray cruising

:00:06. > :00:08.along in third gear. One setup in this quarterfinal. The British and

:00:09. > :00:12.one looking very good on Centre Court. Well they change ends let's

:00:13. > :00:16.look at a few results. The Egon Championships, earlier this morning

:00:17. > :00:22.Roberto Bautista Agut came on to complete his match with Young. It

:00:23. > :00:26.was suspended because of rain yesterday and he raced through the

:00:27. > :00:29.second set 6-2. Straight sets victory and he will be back on

:00:30. > :00:38.course to face Milos Raonic to later. A busy day for him and it was

:00:39. > :00:45.a busy day for Marin Cilic. A longer 3-set match against Steve Johnson,

:00:46. > :00:48.former champion. Came through in three sets, 6-4 in the third and

:00:49. > :00:58.Cilic will face the winner of Murray and Edmund. Alexander the highest

:00:59. > :01:06.ranked teenager in the men's game plans reach the semifinals. Marcos

:01:07. > :01:13.Baghdatis 76-63 that makes 7-6, 6-3. Roger Federer, when threes first set

:01:14. > :01:25.really quickly against David Goffin. The informed dollar ATM -- Dummett

:01:26. > :01:28.time. And in the ladies Egon classic, the Australian Open

:01:29. > :01:36.champion Angelique Kerber dropped the first set in her second match

:01:37. > :01:42.but came through. Disappointment for the British players left in the

:01:43. > :01:50.draw. Heather Watson went down the world over 40 and Joel -- Johanna

:01:51. > :01:54.Konta last two Wickmayer, player ranked 30 places below her. That is

:01:55. > :02:01.what is happening in tennis around the world. All eyes on Murray and

:02:02. > :02:03.Edmund. Second set, Edmund deserved. COMMENTATOR:

:02:04. > :02:12.Just done a challenger level there is a tournament is going on in Kyle

:02:13. > :02:14.Edmund home county of Yorkshire. Bright and climb remaining in the

:02:15. > :02:21.quarterfinals and playing Ryan Harris as the challenger. The last

:02:22. > :02:32.GB interest as far as I know around the place.

:02:33. > :02:37.Interesting spectators today come including Michael Parkinson, who was

:02:38. > :02:42.his sport. Some lovely words to say about Muhammad Ali, his passing

:02:43. > :02:48.recently. It was Anna that smack it was a highlight when they spoke with

:02:49. > :04:00.each other. -- it was always a highlight.

:04:01. > :04:11.I don't believe it! That is terrible. That is the easy choccy

:04:12. > :04:14.will miss this week. That's a shot he will. He has missed three from

:04:15. > :04:20.that end, that was the bounced smash but missed to come out of the area.

:04:21. > :04:21.Lost complete Lee on the overhead. The sun went behind the cloud as

:04:22. > :04:44.well. That is away. It is a match full of

:04:45. > :04:53.errors just now. Sometimes it just worked out that way.

:04:54. > :04:59.You true bowler Dusanova, Andy Murray, making a few mistakes. --

:05:00. > :05:02.not too bothered. How Edmund is doing well considering they try to

:05:03. > :05:08.deliver his washing machine this morning, where they did this --

:05:09. > :05:17.delivered, at 6:30am. He has a nice new to bed flat in south-west

:05:18. > :05:21.London. And they arrived early. I believe his mother has to be in

:05:22. > :05:27.between two and six tomorrow to take another delivery but the entire

:05:28. > :05:29.places boxes as he moves in onto the property ladder with his tennis

:05:30. > :06:03.winnings. I will tell you his real passion,

:06:04. > :06:05.cast. He is a petrol head. He was thrilled that Jeremy Clarkson was

:06:06. > :06:08.watching him the other day against Gilles Simon. His ambition is to get

:06:09. > :06:26.on that programme of his. I'm sure he would take an invitation

:06:27. > :07:19.from the Chris Evans version as well.

:07:20. > :07:46.He is cruising along quite comfortably, Andy Murray.

:07:47. > :07:55.101 mile are second serve. Complete control of the ball. That particular

:07:56. > :08:00.serve, not much rhythm on the first. He is cruising, there is no chance

:08:01. > :08:03.at this point of there being any result other than Andy Murray

:08:04. > :08:07.winning. This is interesting, can Kyle Edmund do anything about it?

:08:08. > :08:12.This is what the top guys are able to do, he is controlling affairs.

:08:13. > :08:36.Interesting to see how Edmund reacts.

:08:37. > :09:30.Wow. Did it catch the line? It certainly appears as though it did.

:09:31. > :09:35.Any disparity between these two, sadly does not appear to be on the

:09:36. > :09:40.Edmund serve. He has played well behind it today. It is to somehow

:09:41. > :10:04.figure out a way to put some more returns in play an big points.

:10:05. > :10:15.Edmund leads to- one. 2016, and even year for this championship. In even

:10:16. > :10:21.years Andy Murray has won six matches and lost four at Queen's

:10:22. > :10:29.Club. In old years, he has won 21 matches and lost one. That is pretty

:10:30. > :10:34.weird. He is an old guy, clearly. It is interesting how Edmund is able to

:10:35. > :10:39.rush his opponent today, one of the quickest men on the court. His

:10:40. > :10:43.forehand is his weapon. 94 Mallon are was one of them that he hit in

:10:44. > :10:49.the previous game that is rushed Andy Murray, even though he was a

:10:50. > :10:53.good 15-18 feet by the baseline and over the years as he learns how to

:10:54. > :10:58.control this, is number one weapon in his game. He will certainly take

:10:59. > :11:06.some scouts but everyone is playing the game, what can he get to in the

:11:07. > :11:11.rankings? Have you see it? It all depends how long he continues to

:11:12. > :11:14.grow. He could be a top 20 player, I did not think so a year ago but he

:11:15. > :11:26.has certainly improved so much in the last year that the ceiling

:11:27. > :11:27.appears to be rising. Top 20. Yes. Talk is cheap. We will have to wait

:11:28. > :12:11.and see. If not higher. The sky is the limit.

:12:12. > :12:19.So much depends on what the guy believes he can do. With a forehand

:12:20. > :12:22.like that, we spoke about the forehand come makes a lot of balls

:12:23. > :12:24.because he seems to understand when to hit it flat and when to hit it

:12:25. > :13:13.with more spin and keep it in. That is the sort of error that we

:13:14. > :14:42.don't normally associate with Andy Murray.

:14:43. > :14:51.Edmund leads 3-1. An unhappy Andy Murray, he will have to get going.

:14:52. > :15:00.Not going through the motions,. He is unsettled. He is definitely

:15:01. > :15:08.either overthinking it or just not feeling the ball. Now he has very

:15:09. > :15:13.excited 21 at the other end who is six foot one and full of muscles

:15:14. > :15:32.with nothing to lose in this match. He has the wind in his sales now.

:15:33. > :15:40.Go! Fire up. Just lacking a bit of adrenaline. Nothing like the threat

:15:41. > :15:42.of losing a set or a match to get you going, bit of greatest -- crisis

:15:43. > :16:02.motivation. That looked wide on the baseline. Is

:16:03. > :16:09.he checking? Mr Edmonds challenging the call. It has certainly got some

:16:10. > :16:19.chalk on it, where that came from will be interesting. Was it on the

:16:20. > :16:24.baseline white? Just out. Call stands. Good overall. -- good

:16:25. > :17:09.overrule. Fantastic return of serve. Just lent

:17:10. > :17:16.on the backhand, straight down the middle, deep. Come on Andy! Just

:17:17. > :17:45.wants to break that. Deuce Mr Edmund with two challenges

:17:46. > :17:49.remaining. It is interesting, it appears that Andy is just a little

:17:50. > :17:51.flat, almost like he's trying to keep the governor on so he does not

:17:52. > :18:13.explode. Anything over the net would have

:18:14. > :18:22.been good. Just enough to return of serve. And then he turned defence

:18:23. > :18:27.into attack. There is the return. Talk about Novak Djokovic. Murray

:18:28. > :18:33.problem probably number two in the world as well. -- Murray, probably.

:18:34. > :18:46.Sometimes number one. I think you can make a good argument

:18:47. > :18:48.for calling Andy Murray the best return in the game. He certainly is

:18:49. > :19:16.very aggressive at times. Even the boys are having a laugh he

:19:17. > :19:36.has missed so many overheads. Childhood friend.

:19:37. > :19:47.You can't miss that. Deuce. Interesting choice, it appeared like

:19:48. > :19:48.that was the perfect time to go behind Murray, he was sprinting to

:19:49. > :20:23.the". -- open court. That is the second serve return that

:20:24. > :20:27.Murray has utilised so often this year, stands inside the baseline,

:20:28. > :20:45.takes it early and returns it with interest. Very aggressive.

:20:46. > :21:03.Murray has such a great match player, he strikes back and breaks

:21:04. > :21:08.back, it is 3-2 in the second set. We'll be right back with this match

:21:09. > :21:12.but another of the super coaches as lender watches Murray on Centre

:21:13. > :21:15.Court, John Maccarone has been on court with his charge, Milos Raonic,

:21:16. > :21:21.the big serving Canadian and he will be next on court to face Roberto

:21:22. > :21:25.Bautista Agut. There is McEnroe and already the McEnroe effect on he's

:21:26. > :21:29.being more aggressive, Milos Raonic, this week and Machenaud encouraging

:21:30. > :21:35.him to come forward and really attack the play. That is the next of

:21:36. > :21:39.the quarterfinals. McEnroe will take seat, probably the same on Evander

:21:40. > :21:46.Lendl is in. I wonder if they'll have words on the way they are or

:21:47. > :21:55.not. What you think? They will fake it. How big a rivalry was it? There

:21:56. > :22:02.was no love lost between the two of those. Obviously now they have a

:22:03. > :22:06.great mutual respect. But when they were doing battle, they were not

:22:07. > :22:20.many niceties exchanged. Ravage Murray -- Raonic, Murray. I

:22:21. > :22:44.wonder that will be the final. We will find out.

:22:45. > :24:56.Mr Edmund challenging the call. No challenge.

:24:57. > :25:03.There is no question that is moving forward, Kyle Edmund is a force. To

:25:04. > :25:10.answer your question as to how high he can go, I think it depends on how

:25:11. > :25:11.he developed his defensive skills. His ability to put returns into

:25:12. > :25:25.play. I hope the noise was worse than any

:25:26. > :25:39.injury he might have. It's always a shock. Those abductor muscles can

:25:40. > :25:46.often take a beating on this surface. Just try to change

:25:47. > :25:55.correction, Edmund does well to play the ball, pushes off the right foot

:25:56. > :26:00.and it goes. He will have definitely strained a few sinews in that

:26:01. > :26:07.muscle. The question is how many and how badly. He seems to be all right.

:26:08. > :26:45.The cameras will be checking if they got that.

:26:46. > :26:56.And I think that bitter frustration is the thought of the next few weeks

:26:57. > :26:58.coming up. It is something that will be on the go. Will it disappear in a

:26:59. > :27:39.day or two? Yes. Looking for that opportunity.

:27:40. > :27:42.Fantastic footwork from Kyle Edmund. Murray is very disappointed to have

:27:43. > :27:51.dropped serve for a third time in this match. Talk about a big-time

:27:52. > :27:57.conversion of a break point. Good, deep ball. Edmund, edging his way

:27:58. > :28:04.into that corner, hoping to see a forehand. The timing of that move

:28:05. > :28:08.when you run around your backhand is absolutely everything because if

:28:09. > :28:12.Murray had seen him moving to hit a forehand he might have slipped the

:28:13. > :28:15.backhand down the line and got the point. Excellent work from Kyle

:28:16. > :30:31.Edmund, 96 mile are forehand to finish the job for- two.

:30:32. > :30:51.Kyle Edmund, looking extremely at ease at the moment.

:30:52. > :31:20.Murray, on the other hand, distracted.

:31:21. > :31:45.Just holding off on this one. Kyle Edmund off to the forehand side.

:31:46. > :32:00.Four aces this match, Kyle Edmund, all of them in the second set.

:32:01. > :32:25.He's doing himself prowled here. --, my. Andy Murray is just trying to

:32:26. > :32:31.get through the day, he is a class above, may be two classes above his

:32:32. > :32:35.opponent, but Kyle is doing well. Things like this don't help. Kyle

:32:36. > :32:43.did well to dig this one out of the corner. The backhand pass, Murray

:32:44. > :32:47.tried to change direction, a worrying scream, but he appears to

:32:48. > :32:50.be fine. It is always a surprise under shock when that happens, but I

:32:51. > :32:54.don't think we are seeing any lasting damage, or we hope that is

:32:55. > :33:00.the case. What's been interesting, look at this, when you look at the

:33:01. > :33:06.return placements, Murray returned pretty safe, middle of the court

:33:07. > :33:10.most of the time or short, not going to deep. Then you look at Edmund's

:33:11. > :33:15.return placement, a lot deeper and harder, he is going for it more,

:33:16. > :33:26.would you agree with that? I think Murray perhaps it's hard to read

:33:27. > :33:33.that much into it. We have seen Andy return, edible quite hard, going for

:33:34. > :33:38.more conservative targets perhaps. -- hit the ball quite hard. Higher

:33:39. > :33:56.ranked man Andy Murray in trouble here.

:33:57. > :34:11.I think the yelp we heard from Andy when he fell was born of fear,

:34:12. > :34:12.really. That hurts, I hope it's not bad. Thankfully, it doesn't appear

:34:13. > :34:46.to be. Mr Murray is challenging the call.

:34:47. > :35:45.The ball was called out. Mr Murray has one challenge

:35:46. > :35:59.remaining. Don't say this guy doesn't have any hands.

:36:00. > :36:10.Here is the game coming up, this will be interesting. Kyle Edmund in

:36:11. > :36:13.the top 100 of the world last summer, tremendous challenge a

:36:14. > :36:19.player. Right on the verge of leaving challengers behind for quite

:36:20. > :36:25.some time at the moment. Really getting established at this level

:36:26. > :36:26.now, serving for a set against Andy Murray. That would be great news for

:36:27. > :36:45.him. Line ball. That was unlucky, the ball checked

:36:46. > :36:49.on the line. Edmonds was well off balance when he hit the next return,

:36:50. > :37:04.which landed short and he was punished.

:37:05. > :37:10.He made that look incredibly easy. I promise you, it wasn't! That is a

:37:11. > :38:31.tough shot. So what is that man's belief like

:38:32. > :38:59.right now? Can he put down two big serves?

:39:00. > :39:06.That shot's going to make a lot of money. Already has. Plenty more to

:39:07. > :39:28.come. Well, what a fascinating moment that

:39:29. > :39:33.was and great presence of mind from Kyle Edmund. Lovely kick-serve out

:39:34. > :39:42.wide and moving behind it, it took Murray onto that still moist grass,

:39:43. > :39:47.outside the normal playing surface. Murray slipping, but it was the

:39:48. > :39:55.serve, it was the serve from Kyle Edmund that deserved the credit in

:39:56. > :39:58.that game. Of course, we focus on Andy Murray. But some high-level

:39:59. > :40:32.matchplay from Kyle Edmund. A lovely backhand from Murray, it

:40:33. > :40:36.really was. When he stamps that front foot down and lets the

:40:37. > :40:44.backhand fly, it arrives with the opponent which such weight to it.

:40:45. > :41:49.He just held back, Kyle Edmund, on that fearsome forehand on the last

:41:50. > :41:57.one and elected to play with a little more caution. Reaping the

:41:58. > :42:01.reward. Very good game. It's all going into the computer, this, a

:42:02. > :42:26.chance to take Murray to a third set.

:42:27. > :42:39.Wow, that is a tremendous effort. Well done Kyle Edmund! He has

:42:40. > :42:52.levelled it. And he showed us a very clean, match playing brain there.

:42:53. > :42:58.Absolutely. And Kyle will be thrilled with how he came back from

:42:59. > :43:05.15-40 in that game, played a couple of really savvy points. Backhand

:43:06. > :43:11.down the line. He played that last set point as though he were the

:43:12. > :43:18.favourite to win this match. Brushed aside Murray. The question is, for

:43:19. > :43:23.how much longer can he maintained that attitude? A great effort,

:43:24. > :43:26.though. Murray was certainly in control of the match. He was

:43:27. > :43:32.dictating what was happening out there and it just seemed to be a

:43:33. > :43:37.matter of time. We did pose the question, what could Edmund do to

:43:38. > :43:42.turn it around? Just finding the court a bit more, settled in. An

:43:43. > :43:46.hour and 22 and he looks completely at home. What a useful match this is

:43:47. > :43:52.going forward for him, and he may yet win it. Yes, he may. Obviously

:43:53. > :43:59.that would be a major shock, but he has shown us a lot, especially in

:44:00. > :44:03.his abilities to attack the Murray defence. Murray so well known for

:44:04. > :44:08.his ability to counterpunch and fend off opponents. And not an easy

:44:09. > :44:12.situation for Andy Murray. Playing this young man who has stayed at his

:44:13. > :44:18.house and has always been this young kid growing up. Now the kid tries to

:44:19. > :44:24.repay him by knocking him off his perch. This is not easy in front of

:44:25. > :44:29.this crowd and TV audience. Perhaps Andy came into this thinking, I'd

:44:30. > :44:37.like to work on this on this and this, and stay calm. And to desire

:44:38. > :44:43.off the ball, just for a moment. Will have to dig just a little

:44:44. > :44:47.deeper now. Sue Barker was telling us know joy today for Heather Watson

:44:48. > :45:08.or Johanna Konta. This would be a very interesting

:45:09. > :46:24.set. Murray needs to respond to this challenge.

:46:25. > :46:33.Perhaps just a bit of a let down for Edmund here. Can't afford to allow

:46:34. > :46:34.this to last any longer. His first couple of games so important to set

:46:35. > :47:24.the stage for this decider. The value of making your opponent

:47:25. > :47:28.playing one more ball, it doesn't have to be beautiful, just get it

:47:29. > :47:32.in. I'm not sure how well he hit that ball. Murray might initially

:47:33. > :47:47.have thought it was going long. No mistaking that one. It was a

:47:48. > :47:54.winner the moment it touched his strings. Didn't touch them for very

:47:55. > :48:01.long. That short take-back as well. That's natural power. Yeah. If I was

:48:02. > :48:06.his coaches I would say, jettisoned that attempt at a forehand chip

:48:07. > :48:13.return, just hit it like that one. Scared the life out of opponents.

:48:14. > :48:20.Even if you miss balls, if you make errors, as he did their... The

:48:21. > :48:55.threat of winner returns will scare a lot of opponents off.

:48:56. > :49:08.He can hit forehands as well. As if we didn't know! So, this match is

:49:09. > :49:14.certainly living up to its billings its billing as what they called the

:49:15. > :49:24.Battle of Britain, which may be a bit dramatic. Then, and Aljaz Bedene

:49:25. > :49:31.yesterday. The under 12 Great Britain players have taken the girls

:49:32. > :49:38.and Boys' Doubles titles this week. That's good news. Sue Westwood is

:49:39. > :49:45.listening to us from Redditch in Worcestershire. As we look at

:49:46. > :49:49.Michael Parkinson. She has got a question about John McEnroe, which

:49:50. > :50:16.we will get two in a second. Sue says now that John is an team

:50:17. > :50:21.Raonic, doesn't mean you won't be commentating at Wimbledon? No, it

:50:22. > :51:34.doesn't mean that, we just have to get our timing right.

:51:35. > :51:46.Oh, he's missed it and... A challenge. The ball was called out.

:51:47. > :51:50.It's a big point, this one. Murray has upped the intensity, hasn't he?

:51:51. > :51:57.A little bit of weight to each of the balls he is heading. The volley

:51:58. > :52:15.popped up on Edmund. That was a bad miss.

:52:16. > :52:31.A break to love. CNET so many times. -- seen it so many times. Saw it

:52:32. > :52:37.most recently, two sets down to Radek Stepanek in the French Open,

:52:38. > :52:42.he came back. 2-1 down against Borg in the second round of the French

:52:43. > :53:01.Open, wins it in five. Murray never beaten.

:53:02. > :53:07.The question remains, did those five set match is physically derail Andy

:53:08. > :53:13.Murray and cost him the final, perhaps? He played Karlovic and John

:53:14. > :53:16.Isner after that, a lot easier in terms of physical demands.

:53:17. > :53:49.Different, anyway. Kyle has done really well to reach

:53:50. > :53:56.this point, but it appears he is going through a 5-10 minute lull,

:53:57. > :53:58.where mentally he is fatigued, making more unforced errors than he

:53:59. > :55:08.has in quite some time. So, the memento and shift that we

:55:09. > :55:13.may have expected, seems to have happened. The question is, what can

:55:14. > :55:20.Kyle Edmund do about it? He responded very well in the second

:55:21. > :55:23.set to win it 6-3. The difference perhaps is that he is facing a

:55:24. > :55:31.different Andy Murray from the one he played in the early stages of set

:55:32. > :55:35.number two. Murray now fully engaged. You get the feeling he's

:55:36. > :55:38.not likely to donate as many unforced errors as he did an hour or

:55:39. > :55:51.so ago. Kyle Edmund to do what, in terms of

:55:52. > :55:59.British players, what only Tim Henman has done, beat Andy Murray.

:56:00. > :56:07.He beat him three times. Murray beat Henman three times, Henman just got

:56:08. > :56:12.him the once, in Bangkok. This is a different generation. Tim Henman

:56:13. > :56:17.beat Andy Murray? How did he do that? By getting to the net and

:56:18. > :56:26.volleying like a genius, I can only assume.

:56:27. > :56:37.Certainly caught my be picking up a bit of moisture at this point. --

:56:38. > :56:45.the court. Just spitting rain a little, that's all.

:56:46. > :56:57.Interesting that Kyle wants to talk about the state of the court rather

:56:58. > :57:03.than Andy. He is losing, so it would be a good

:57:04. > :57:13.idea to get off at this point. He's done well, got the umpire off the

:57:14. > :57:23.chair. Well, the crowd want more... But Kyle perfectly entitled to fight

:57:24. > :57:26.his corner there. This kid just got jeered. Everyone is having a good

:57:27. > :57:45.time watching the match. When it comes to jeering, Queen's

:57:46. > :58:05.Club has a very polite jeer. I don't know, I think they can rise

:58:06. > :58:12.to the occasion from time to time. Not the rowdiest sports ground. --

:58:13. > :58:20.sports crowd. I don't think we need water cannon

:58:21. > :58:41.here today! Beautiful shot. Putting young Kyle

:58:42. > :58:48.to the sword here, isn't he? He most certainly is. Edmonds needs to

:58:49. > :59:23.answer the bell now or this match will very quickly be done.

:59:24. > :59:32.Yeah, you go into that forehand at your peril. Murray I'm sure, thought

:59:33. > :59:55.he'd hit it, a pretty demanding shot came back again. At twice the speed.

:59:56. > :00:03.The second serve, perhaps a little bit fine. Not at least especially

:00:04. > :00:36.well. Murray manhandled it. This match will go into the vault of

:00:37. > :00:42.Kyle Edmonds and give him something to think about, because mentally he

:00:43. > :01:24.appeared to hit the wall. Right at the start of this third set.

:01:25. > :01:42.Let's get out one as well. Thank you.

:01:43. > :01:49.Fabulous, isn't it? This demonstration of top-class tennis

:01:50. > :03:22.from Andy Murray. The last 17 minutes of this set.

:03:23. > :03:28.Every time you going to his forehand, that is the one he had to

:03:29. > :03:31.guard against. You almost have to hit the ball and put your racket out

:03:32. > :03:40.and move in that direction is it away. He is deadly on the crosscourt

:03:41. > :03:47.pass. And that is 5-0 and a first for those games in this decider were

:03:48. > :03:54.over in 15 minutes. Only 20 minutes played in this set. When that last

:03:55. > :03:58.game at Wimbledon when he served out against Novak Djokovic alone was 12

:03:59. > :04:07.minutes long. He has put this one away pretty quickly. Yes, I think he

:04:08. > :04:11.will be pleased to win and to win decisively in this final set and get

:04:12. > :04:22.off the court before any possible rain delays. It remains to be seen

:04:23. > :04:27.if he does that. I was just thinking that he hasn't won a match at

:04:28. > :04:30.Wimbledon yet, Kyle Edmund, he has had three world card in the past,

:04:31. > :04:35.unable to get through the first round. He has seen enough action

:04:36. > :04:39.this week even though the second one was a walkover. Certainly the

:04:40. > :04:44.confidence will have raised this afternoon and he will be looking for

:04:45. > :04:50.a trip. Absolutely, this match will be a thrill for him because he has

:04:51. > :04:54.only won two matches on grass on the tour and his entire career. The

:04:55. > :05:06.second one being against Seymour on Monday. To come out and play as well

:05:07. > :05:12.as he did in both matches here will help show how much he has improved.

:05:13. > :05:31.And how much he can expect to improve in the future.

:05:32. > :05:47.He is locked in now. 95 miles an hour on the forehand side.

:05:48. > :05:55.I was just thinking Kyle Edmund has played is now at the French Open,

:05:56. > :06:00.just recently. Having won around their come big Novak Djokovic in

:06:01. > :07:25.Miami. Murray here. It strengthens you.

:07:26. > :07:30.At least that is something in this deciding set for Kyle Edmund,

:07:31. > :07:32.although Andy Murray is now serving for a place in the semifinal against

:07:33. > :07:39.Marin Cilic. With new tennis balls, which will be

:07:40. > :09:47.helpful. Well. It is fascinating. That is the

:09:48. > :09:51.steer that Lendl gave Andy Murray when Andy was looking over their

:09:52. > :10:15.come giving it words. He's looking over again. He will never react.

:10:16. > :10:50.COMMENTATOR: That will do! Deuce. The slice

:10:51. > :10:54.backhand puts opponents in all kinds of trouble. Not easy to drive it. It

:10:55. > :11:34.opens up the court. That is it. Andy Murray is through

:11:35. > :11:39.to the semifinal here in the sunshine of Queen's Club. Respect

:11:40. > :11:46.for his younger Davis Cup team-mate, who took a set of him, about an hour

:11:47. > :11:53.and 50 played, one-way traffic. 6-1 in the third. Very much the senior

:11:54. > :11:58.role taken in the decider. Great know-how and expertise at the

:11:59. > :12:03.beginning. He really accelerated through Kyle Edmund and took the

:12:04. > :12:08.first four games in the first 15 minutes of the third set. If Kyle

:12:09. > :12:15.wanted a passage of play back it would certainly be back. Murray is

:12:16. > :12:19.through to play Marin Cilic in the semifinal. We still have 2/4-finals

:12:20. > :12:26.to be played here and hopefully under sunny skies here at Queen's

:12:27. > :12:32.Club. Miller versus Tomic and Bautista-Agut versus Raonic. Should

:12:33. > :12:43.be very proud of his effort here, Edmund. It was very good indeed.

:12:44. > :12:47.Murray has a 10-2 head-to-head, could be Murray in the final. Must

:12:48. > :12:52.get through Cilic first. For the moment he has beaten Kyle Edmund and

:12:53. > :12:56.is talking with John Nvidia. We will speak to both players on court

:12:57. > :13:00.because it is the first quarterfinal between two British players in the

:13:01. > :13:09.history of professional tennis. That is in 50 years, huge testimony to

:13:10. > :13:15.both players. Andy, congratulations. Was that tougher than you might have

:13:16. > :13:21.expected? No, I mean. I obviously train with Kyle a lot. I know how

:13:22. > :13:28.good he is. He is a big, strong guy, very powerful game and when he is on

:13:29. > :13:33.he is very tough to play against at practice and I felt it in the match

:13:34. > :13:38.as well today. I expected it to be hard. What were your thoughts at

:13:39. > :13:45.1-1? I was obviously disappointed with the second, I lost serve at

:13:46. > :13:50.40-0 and then had a couple of break back chances just after that and

:13:51. > :13:55.Kyle served extremely well there and I just try to up my intensity and be

:13:56. > :13:59.more aggressive at the beginning of the set and it worked. You fell a

:14:00. > :14:04.couple of times, obviously it was slippery and mildly amusing with the

:14:05. > :14:09.umpire exchange about that. Are you a cause I'm fine, but obviously it's

:14:10. > :14:18.a shock at first. You don't expect it, it comes out of nowhere. And

:14:19. > :14:21.near fine. Ten years ago you plays Tim Henman and we made a point

:14:22. > :14:25.yesterday about the fact you're playing Aljaz Bedene a comedy first

:14:26. > :14:29.time you played a bridge player for ten years. This last Tim Henman ten

:14:30. > :14:33.years ago is the future in a British tennis is in good hands about you he

:14:34. > :14:36.would have said safe hands, what is your impression of the future of

:14:37. > :14:41.British tennis in however many years when you decide to do something

:14:42. > :14:51.else? Obviously Kyle is the future of the game in this country.

:14:52. > :14:56.APPLAUSE It is important to give him time to

:14:57. > :15:01.develop at his all right, not too much pressure is put on him and he's

:15:02. > :15:06.doing great, he's improving every year and has a really good team

:15:07. > :15:11.behind him, they spent a lot of time with him and they working very hard

:15:12. > :15:16.and they are good guys. If he is given time and space just to keep

:15:17. > :15:23.developing and not too much pressure on the results at this stage, then

:15:24. > :15:26.he can go very far. Many congratulations, you the semifinal

:15:27. > :15:30.against Marin Cilic, repeat of the final three years ago, to prepare

:15:31. > :15:38.for. Thank you. Andy Murray, through another semifinal. And we will move

:15:39. > :15:53.over here. A big hand for Kyle Edmund, who played such a fantastic

:15:54. > :15:56.part in that match! And you are hugely professional athlete and will

:15:57. > :16:00.be disappointed by the result but I hope you are proud of how you

:16:01. > :16:06.played? Yes. I'm pleased with the way I played today, as you said. No

:16:07. > :16:10.one likes losing, but you need time to reflect and it's important you

:16:11. > :16:15.take away the positives. It has been a very positive week from me.

:16:16. > :16:19.Obviously unfortunate with the withdrawal yesterday, but I did well

:16:20. > :16:23.to come to my first round and I thought I played well today. Andy

:16:24. > :16:28.showed why he has been so tough to beat and why he has been at the top

:16:29. > :16:32.of the game for so many years, because he always makes it tough

:16:33. > :16:34.when everything matters. One of the big positives for you must be

:16:35. > :16:39.breaking his serve three times. Not many players do that?

:16:40. > :16:42.APPLAUSE They don't. You don't think about

:16:43. > :16:45.that in the match will concentrate on every point and that is what you

:16:46. > :16:53.try to do, you can't find little ways to break him. It is tricky, but

:16:54. > :16:59.especially on grass, if you do break and you will take your opportunities

:17:00. > :17:04.and luckily I thought at 3-1 when I lost my serve I felt I should have

:17:05. > :17:09.held. But as Andy said from 0- 40, that was a game you don't expect to

:17:10. > :17:12.win but you take it and try and serve it out. I asked what he was

:17:13. > :17:19.thinking at one stage, what were you thinking it 1-1? You just try and

:17:20. > :17:24.think, it is a 0-0, you start again from you haven't got a lead or any

:17:25. > :17:31.breaks. It is one set shoot out and ultimately the first two sets go out

:17:32. > :17:35.and go away because it is one set and Andy, I felt, stepped up a bit

:17:36. > :17:40.and maybe I dropped off a bit but I don't think I dropped off a huge

:17:41. > :17:47.amount. Very positive week and for me to play Andy, here's been so good

:17:48. > :17:54.to me. He has lost three preset -- the last three pre-season is I spend

:17:55. > :17:59.with him come gives me an insight into his professional life and it

:18:00. > :18:03.has benefited me. So, it is a bit strange that I had to play him on

:18:04. > :18:07.the mat because I'm so used to playing on the practice court with

:18:08. > :18:11.him. It is a bit weird how you are looking up to someone and they have

:18:12. > :18:16.to almost hear them as your enemy on the court. Andy has been really good

:18:17. > :18:23.to me, so. One final point. APPLAUSE

:18:24. > :18:26.It was a huge occasion today. Everyone who is seasoned watchers

:18:27. > :18:31.say they could not remember a crowd being so engrossed and engaged in a

:18:32. > :18:35.game for ages. What did it feel like for you being here on Centre Court

:18:36. > :18:40.at Greens playing your idol and the second best player in the world. At

:18:41. > :18:45.one point you had him on the ropes? Yes, the entire occasion of it, I've

:18:46. > :18:51.never played on this court until I played on Wednesday and I loved it.

:18:52. > :18:54.Even though I got the withdrawal yesterday, I was disappointed

:18:55. > :18:57.because I could not come on and play, which is what I wanted to do.

:18:58. > :19:04.Luckily I had a great opportunity today, again -- to come on again.

:19:05. > :19:09.The crowd is great, it is great because the crowd was a port every

:19:10. > :19:12.point. Definitely a week I will remember. You're certainly seize the

:19:13. > :19:18.moment and everyone is on your side. And a big wave going forward at

:19:19. > :19:25.Wimbledon. Kyle Edmund. Well done. We said it would be a test of his

:19:26. > :19:30.nerve and his belief against Andy Murray, he has passed that test and

:19:31. > :19:33.a lovely glimpse into the future of British tennis. Kyle Edmund,

:19:34. > :19:37.certainly want to improve but Andy Murray is going through. He was

:19:38. > :19:39.tested, wouldn't have wanted to be out for three sets but was very

:19:40. > :19:43.impressed by the aggression from Kyle Edmund. Andy Murray's

:19:44. > :19:47.experience and great matchplay brought him through the third and

:19:48. > :19:53.final set. He is through to the semifinal, quite a cut from Jimmy

:19:54. > :19:59.Del Gardai. Not much matter from Ivan Lendl but he will be happy he

:20:00. > :20:41.is to the semifinal. Let's whet your appetite for an event not far away.

:20:42. > :20:59.What a great reaction. You simply cannot give more.

:21:00. > :21:13.That was tense. It is over. This is way too good.

:21:14. > :21:21.He has done it! The Queen of the Centre Court. Unbelievable. He will

:21:22. > :21:43.be walking on water. That really has got us in the mood,

:21:44. > :21:47.what a wonderful team I have here in the studio. Peter Fleming and Boris

:21:48. > :21:53.Becker. Seeing you shuffling your feet when the Championships, great

:21:54. > :21:56.memories, Wimbledon, not far away. No, it always brings back great

:21:57. > :22:02.memories. For me is the important tournament of the year as a player

:22:03. > :22:06.and now as a coach. I look forward to it. What about being here? You

:22:07. > :22:09.were honoured at an court as a four-time champion. This is a

:22:10. > :22:14.special tournament for you. Yes, this is the first one I have one as

:22:15. > :22:20.a player, even know I was a teenager. So this will always be the

:22:21. > :22:26.first one. I've played here for many years. I am a member of the club

:22:27. > :22:31.have come here between tournaments. It was a great day to see the other

:22:32. > :22:38.champions. John and Leighton and Roy. It just shows, it is tough to

:22:39. > :22:45.win that many events because it is always such a good field. Yes, it is

:22:46. > :22:49.very short, you don't have many tournaments to play anyway in the

:22:50. > :22:52.grass court season. This is probably the biggest one for women and so

:22:53. > :23:00.everyone must come here, the courts are good and the weather is always a

:23:01. > :23:04.bit shaky. -- the biggest one before Wimbledon. We saw you on court with

:23:05. > :23:09.the great champions and we had a little conversation with one of

:23:10. > :23:15.them. What were are discussing? I wanted to know how it felt being

:23:16. > :23:24.back on the sidelines. John is coaching row which -- Raonic and I

:23:25. > :23:28.wanted to know, what was his impression from the first practice

:23:29. > :23:36.and so forth? We are friends, by now, we meet each other of the court

:23:37. > :23:41.as well. I do want to get some feedback,. How has the tour changed

:23:42. > :23:45.from when you were champion to now, what the players have to go through?

:23:46. > :23:53.What changes are there? I think obviously because of the world of

:23:54. > :23:57.media were living and the internet, players have to be more careful

:23:58. > :24:02.about whatever they do. Speak about John McEnroe of all people. He was

:24:03. > :24:08.one of these, not best behaved players on the court. With Hawk-Eye

:24:09. > :24:12.today, we spoke about that. He wanted Hawk-Eye in his day, I

:24:13. > :24:17.probably would have argued with the computer as well. That is that way

:24:18. > :24:23.what I said! It would have made him really boring. I think mentality

:24:24. > :24:27.wisely champions will always be the champions, they have the same

:24:28. > :24:32.mindset. It has changed a little bit, the rackets has improved, the

:24:33. > :24:37.shoes have improved, the styles have changed. You seem my baseline now,

:24:38. > :24:42.especially in the grass we come in. Having said that, is to have some

:24:43. > :24:46.feel players around and offensive players and question is how do you

:24:47. > :24:50.pick and choose? But the best players have to play well on all

:24:51. > :24:55.surfaces and be able to be comfortable at the net and serving

:24:56. > :25:01.as well. The ultimate question will always be, who is better on grass?

:25:02. > :25:09.McEnroe Federer? Becker Djokovic? No one can answer that. It is

:25:10. > :25:12.impossible. The role of the super cultures, is it more the mental

:25:13. > :25:16.side? We will ask Boris in a moment, but someone who has been there and

:25:17. > :25:21.done it and knows what England's big points? The match-winning points? I

:25:22. > :25:26.think primarily, Boris said it before, the great champions were

:25:27. > :25:30.always rain regardless of the rules -- will always win. Or the

:25:31. > :25:36.conditions. Sin-bin because of the way they approach every day, every

:25:37. > :25:42.ball, every practice. -- especially because. If a great champion can

:25:43. > :25:48.come and show a few insights to a player and help them reach that

:25:49. > :25:55.level of awareness cover version has done his job. With Novak, does he

:25:56. > :26:00.ask a lot of questions or do you speak to him about tactics? What is

:26:01. > :26:05.your relationship? I think, first of all, he listens. That is not the

:26:06. > :26:11.one. I think it is easier if you have won the Grand Slam. It is

:26:12. > :26:16.easier for John Ivan or me to speak to some of these great players

:26:17. > :26:21.because we have also won something. But that we see -- says the

:26:22. > :26:25.different from the other coaches but it comes from a Wimbledon champion

:26:26. > :26:28.to another champion. We speak about strategy, a little bit about how you

:26:29. > :26:33.have to have a certain mentality and mindset in approach to a semifinal

:26:34. > :26:38.or final because honestly in the first round they don't need us. They

:26:39. > :26:42.would play without anyone. Once you get to the second week of a Grand

:26:43. > :26:47.Slam your inner zone. You live another time clock and unless you've

:26:48. > :26:53.been near you would not understand the time clock. Everything focuses

:26:54. > :26:58.on the next match. That is the understanding and the conversations

:26:59. > :27:03.we have. What has changed with him? He has got better and better over

:27:04. > :27:07.the past couple of years. What do you think, how has he moved from two

:27:08. > :27:14.years ago to now? I think it starts and ends with him. He is the

:27:15. > :27:19.director, the owner, the CEO of a company called Dokovic Inc. He

:27:20. > :27:23.brings it out. If you have a player like that, it is much easier to

:27:24. > :27:29.coach because he wants to get better. And then is easy to work

:27:30. > :27:33.with. I think the trouble is when you speak with people who are happy

:27:34. > :27:39.with being 15 in the world or ten in the world. Then you might as well do

:27:40. > :27:43.something else. To give credit where credit is due, he wants to get

:27:44. > :27:47.better and break records and he wants to be better now than he was

:27:48. > :27:51.last year. What does he want to make better? There are many aspects of

:27:52. > :27:56.his game that has improved the last two or three years. I will not give

:27:57. > :28:01.you many details, but he has gotten better and of course, there is still

:28:02. > :28:07.thinks he needs to improve on. It is endless with him. He doesn't want to

:28:08. > :28:11.improve, nobody can make him. The discipline, speak about that and the

:28:12. > :28:20.commitment he does physically and mentally to improve his game? That

:28:21. > :28:25.is for me, always, I don't know him or Andy or Roger or Rafa, how the

:28:26. > :28:31.year after year believe me they are worth it. They have beautiful homes

:28:32. > :28:37.and families but they work more than 99% of the other players. And they

:28:38. > :28:41.don't have to. I admire that mindset. They are role models for

:28:42. > :28:45.everyone else because they would have all the arguments and say I've

:28:46. > :28:51.had enough. I've won this tournament three times, I have some big minute

:28:52. > :28:54.in the back, no, it want to do it even more. When we are looking at

:28:55. > :28:58.the world rankings, Djokovic is so far ahead in the world rankings, he

:28:59. > :29:06.is so dominant. Is there something wrong with that? You're doing your

:29:07. > :29:09.job very well Boris. Well done. But Boris will not say he's made

:29:10. > :29:16.changes, have you seen any difference in Dragovic? I think he

:29:17. > :29:20.has taken the spot to another level of athleticism. He's like a gymnast

:29:21. > :29:24.out there. It weakens like me is the first I've seen to slide into this

:29:25. > :29:29.two-handed backhand with his slide on his left leg so that he hits it

:29:30. > :29:34.with an open stance and can hit the passing shot either way and can get

:29:35. > :29:40.back into record very quickly that everyone else would have to slice

:29:41. > :29:43.backhand in that situation. -- back into the court. Things like that

:29:44. > :29:50.come is much more aggressive of the forehand and for five years ago is

:29:51. > :29:54.he can attack and defend. He is, in my eyes, I've never seen anyone play

:29:55. > :30:00.better tennis than he is playing right now. He's a bit like Bjorn.

:30:01. > :30:05.Way back when, in the early 70s. I remember hearing Don box, the first

:30:06. > :30:08.guy to ever win the grandson, Donna buds sitting behind me watching

:30:09. > :30:13.Bjorn play. He will never make it. Look at how short the ball is going,

:30:14. > :30:17.he will have tennis elbow in three years. Five years, ten years later,

:30:18. > :30:20.everyone plays like him. He rewrote the book. Novak is doing a bit of

:30:21. > :30:31.that. Is that a fair assessment? When we

:30:32. > :30:35.talk about the greats of the game ap probably that includes everybody, I

:30:36. > :30:39.have never seen a player that plays defence better than Novak. Some of

:30:40. > :30:44.the balls he gets, how he puts defence to offence, it's second to

:30:45. > :30:49.none. That's his core. That's how he was raised upon. What he has added

:30:50. > :30:53.is a bit of aggressiveness, a bit of going for the winners. It's a bit of

:30:54. > :30:58.improvement on the serve. A bit of understanding also that if you win

:30:59. > :31:00.the first couple of matches in a Grand Slam quicker, you still have

:31:01. > :31:05.more energy in a semifinal and final. Don't go always to the -

:31:06. > :31:09.sometimes you have no choice but if you can finish quicker, it saves you

:31:10. > :31:16.at the backhand. It's about winning Grand Slams. You can see what it

:31:17. > :31:20.means. He has - what it means to win a Grand Slam event. He has won now

:31:21. > :31:24.on the clay. I am sure that was a huge relief. He was saying he wanted

:31:25. > :31:29.to win that. It must have been immense pressure in the last few

:31:30. > :31:33.days in Paris? Everybody since the day after the Australian Open asks

:31:34. > :31:43.us about it, naturally. What's the next big one? The next big one is

:31:44. > :31:49.Roland Garos. Every press conference it's pretty much what would it mean

:31:50. > :31:52.to win the French Open? Naturally, the pressure and attention was

:31:53. > :31:56.always on Paris. Yet, you have to get there first. You have to play

:31:57. > :32:00.well in February, in March, in April and May, not to get injured, win a

:32:01. > :32:03.couple of tournaments in between and put yourself in a position as you

:32:04. > :32:08.were last year so when the tournament actually started, I said,

:32:09. > :32:13.oh! Half the journey is done, we have survived pretty good, let's get

:32:14. > :32:17.the real party started. You go match by match in round by round then the

:32:18. > :32:21.weather is difficult, the second week it was unfortunate we always

:32:22. > :32:25.had to play catch-up. Those are the rules. We can't change it now. The

:32:26. > :32:29.weather didn't work in his favour. The weather didn't work in his

:32:30. > :32:33.favour, and then the scheduling for the semifinal, they put him on court

:32:34. > :32:38.number one. Again you have to move it around to say it's an advantage,

:32:39. > :32:41.at least you get to play. I remember last year's semifinal he had to play

:32:42. > :32:45.after Stan and finish on the Saturday. They didn't give him an

:32:46. > :32:50.extra day off. You have to take these odds nobody can change and

:32:51. > :32:54.make them to your advantage and he had Saturday free and practice was

:32:55. > :32:59.good and isn'ted r Sunday morning was good and I had a good sentiment

:33:00. > :33:02.that today would be the day. They were talking to you ever since the

:33:03. > :33:06.Australian Open about the French Open and now everyone is going to

:33:07. > :33:11.ask you, including me, the Grand Slam possibly is on now and everyone

:33:12. > :33:15.is talking about it could be achieved. You look in history at how

:33:16. > :33:20.few have achieved the Grand Slam, that's what everyone is talking

:33:21. > :33:24.about. Technically speaking he has won four Majors in a row that you

:33:25. > :33:28.could call a Grand Slam. For the conservatives, and I am one of

:33:29. > :33:35.them... The calendar Grand Slam. You want to win the four in one year. I

:33:36. > :33:41.could tell you 50% we are there, but that's not the approach. The honest

:33:42. > :33:45.approach is to draw before Wimbledon, he at least knows when he

:33:46. > :33:50.starts on the Monday, that's the one advantage. That's it. That's as far

:33:51. > :33:53.as we look. Then hopefully the match goes on and then hopefully the

:33:54. > :33:57.weather, so we really take it match by match and step by step because

:33:58. > :34:00.otherwise you get carried away. You can't possibly win today, if you

:34:01. > :34:06.think about something you want to do tomorrow. How does he prepare?

:34:07. > :34:11.Everyone is different, he has gone the Bjorg way of not playing an

:34:12. > :34:16.event and it's worked, it must be right, what does he do and where

:34:17. > :34:21.does he go? We do what we have done the last couple of years. He's

:34:22. > :34:27.arriving in London at the weekend but has played already in Monte

:34:28. > :34:32.Carlo and back home. Play a couple of exhibitions in the week prior but

:34:33. > :34:38.very intense practice sessions. I think there's no secret to it. You

:34:39. > :34:42.can only get better once you give yourself chances in practice. Then

:34:43. > :34:48.you should come to some of the practices, I have talk to some of

:34:49. > :34:51.the other players, I think the reason he is consistently good over

:34:52. > :34:57.the years has been he puts everything in the practice. There is

:34:58. > :35:04.no practice that is not intense. He gets frustrated when - no, I want

:35:05. > :35:08.to, even win in the practice! That's mentality becomes reality for him.

:35:09. > :35:12.That's why the practice sessions are so important. Everyone loves

:35:13. > :35:17.history. We saw the numbers, the 12 Grand Slams, potentially he has many

:35:18. > :35:25.more in him. Is that something that drives him, do you think? I think it

:35:26. > :35:32.would be a lie to say that he wouldn't watch the history of

:35:33. > :35:38.tennis. He is away Rafa and Sampras won 14 and he is aware he is

:35:39. > :35:42.passing, does he talk about it every day, absolutely not. He is a student

:35:43. > :35:46.of the game. He wants to be part of the all-time greats. Therefore, he

:35:47. > :35:52.knows who won and how many times. He has set the bar, but Murray is

:35:53. > :35:57.moving up, as well. They've almost become the big two now. Yeah, I

:35:58. > :36:02.would never disrespect Rafa and... No. For a number of reasons you are

:36:03. > :36:07.right. They played the last couple of matches against each other. They

:36:08. > :36:13.played actually the last three tournaments they played against each

:36:14. > :36:16.other in the final. They are one and two in the rankings, naturally they

:36:17. > :36:21.follow each other and I think it's good. The game needs rivalries like

:36:22. > :36:25.that. The game needs strong number one and two for everybody else to

:36:26. > :36:30.look up to. And maybe to learn something from it. But the

:36:31. > :36:33.difference is very close, there isn't much, yes you can see the

:36:34. > :36:36.ranking points but the matches themselves, the difference wasn't

:36:37. > :36:40.that big. Do you think Ivan Lendl back in his corner will make a

:36:41. > :36:45.difference? I was surprised, I must say. I thought Jamie and the whole

:36:46. > :36:50.coaching team did an excellent job. I think he has never played better

:36:51. > :36:58.but something must have happened between the final of Roland Garros

:36:59. > :37:04.and beginning of Queens. Ivan knows a thing or two about winning Majors.

:37:05. > :37:08.They have a great history together. He won Majors with his in his

:37:09. > :37:13.corner. He brings something to the team nobody else has. Before this

:37:14. > :37:16.interview I had a nice chat with Ivan and John together and it was

:37:17. > :37:22.nice that the three of us are back in the locker room talking about the

:37:23. > :37:27.past! It's great for the game. Stars like Ivan and John are back in it.

:37:28. > :37:33.It's good for the quality of tennis. Let's face it, we do understand the

:37:34. > :37:39.game, probably better than most and to talk to Andy and Raonic and Novak

:37:40. > :37:45.about it everybody benefits. It's great rivalries, you want that, the

:37:46. > :37:50.great ones. With Boris and Stefan and Pete and Andre and now hopefully

:37:51. > :37:55.we will see many more Andy and Novak? That's the hope. Boris needs

:37:56. > :38:03.to contribute to that, perhaps so that Andy can win a few more times!

:38:04. > :38:06.So tennis wins! His dedication, we talked about what he does on the

:38:07. > :38:11.court, but off the court the training must be immense but the

:38:12. > :38:15.diet, every part of his life is just about being number one. You don't

:38:16. > :38:20.become number one by accident and don't stay there for years, it's a

:38:21. > :38:27.lifestyle. You don't just wake up and say I want to practise,

:38:28. > :38:32.everything that he does it's in regard to his performance on the

:38:33. > :38:36.court. I think his wife understands that, I think his son is part of

:38:37. > :38:42.that. The rest of his family. We are part of it, whatever he does for as

:38:43. > :38:46.long as he wants to play professional tennis is a dedicated

:38:47. > :38:50.to tennis and that's the only way. I don't see it any other possibility

:38:51. > :38:56.that you can become one or two or five if there is many more important

:38:57. > :39:00.things off the court. That goes for the best football players and best

:39:01. > :39:05.basketball players, it's not an easy job. If it was anybody could do it.

:39:06. > :39:10.But it's a well paid job. To do your passion and call it a job is a

:39:11. > :39:17.dream. I think these boys put a lot of time and effort under. He has

:39:18. > :39:19.made changes in his diet. Gluten-free and now vegetarian with

:39:20. > :39:24.a little bit of fish. Do you follow the diet with him? Well, when I

:39:25. > :39:27.first joined him three years ago I was eating pretty much what I wanted

:39:28. > :39:32.to eat but it felt uncomfortable having a big piece of meat and

:39:33. > :39:37.nobody at the table has... So I started to adjust. I lost a couple

:39:38. > :39:42.of pounds. Now I wouldn't say I do the same diet, but I try to eat

:39:43. > :39:47.better and healthier. It's done me good. What about him? Is that

:39:48. > :39:52.because he was getting the ailments that he went gluten-free, what was

:39:53. > :39:56.the reason? He wanted to feel better. He had trouble with his eyes

:39:57. > :40:01.and that seemed to go once he changed his diet. I think we

:40:02. > :40:06.underestimate the food we take in. We are what we eat. I am not going

:40:07. > :40:13.to give you ten minutes of speech now about good foods but a lot

:40:14. > :40:18.reflects on... We have skrus had chocolate here, we have done all

:40:19. > :40:23.right! On the court playing for hours it does show what you have

:40:24. > :40:29.eaten or drunk the night before. Is he superstitious? Not crazy. I think

:40:30. > :40:35.he has a routine. He has his rhythm. I wouldn't call it a superstition.

:40:36. > :40:39.It's wonderful listening to the insight and how the game has changed

:40:40. > :40:43.over the years. Before it was on practice and on court. Now you have

:40:44. > :40:50.to do everything. The diet, the training. The flexibility. It's

:40:51. > :40:55.become more physical. Because, let's face it, every sport over the years,

:40:56. > :40:59.over decades, improves. The sprinters will be faster than 30

:41:00. > :41:08.years ago, the same with tennis players. These guys are seeking out

:41:09. > :41:14.every little edge. What they know about their performance that just

:41:15. > :41:19.went right over my head and other people of my generation's head is

:41:20. > :41:23.incredible. They are really experts in just about everything. We talked

:41:24. > :41:28.about it already, the mental side of it, you look at players in the top

:41:29. > :41:33.100 they all strike the ball so well. The difference between them,

:41:34. > :41:36.well, you answer it! If it would be just hitting the ball, you would

:41:37. > :41:39.have 1,000 number ones. In the qualifying sometimes I am amazed how

:41:40. > :41:44.quickly these guys play. You put them in front of 1,000 people, they

:41:45. > :41:51.don't know what their name is any more. You know, at a certain level,

:41:52. > :41:57.once you get to the top 100 it's added to the mentality, 75, 80% and

:41:58. > :42:01.then a bit of fitness and this but it's so much what you are willing to

:42:02. > :42:05.do, what is your sacrifice in order to win. You know him so well. If I

:42:06. > :42:10.was going to ask what's the one thing and the most important thing

:42:11. > :42:14.that makes him better than the others what would it be? I think he

:42:15. > :42:18.wants it more, deep down, the heritage he is from. The family

:42:19. > :42:27.background. He suffered a lot. He went through hell and back when he

:42:28. > :42:30.was ten, 12, 14 and I think when the core comes out in a Wimbledon final,

:42:31. > :42:34.he goes further every time. Brilliant. It's been lovely talking

:42:35. > :42:37.to you, Boris. Thank you very much for coming up and good luck over the

:42:38. > :42:43.next few weeks. You are going to be busy. Peter, thank you very much.

:42:44. > :42:49.Going from Boris, we will go to John McEnroe's charges on court at the

:42:50. > :42:53.moment, Milos Raonic and there he is, the big serving Canadian and

:42:54. > :42:59.John has been trying to get him to attack more. We will see whether it

:43:00. > :43:05.happens in this match. He is playing Roberto Bautista-Agut. It's 3-0 up.

:43:06. > :43:14.Let's join our comentators John Lloyd and Andrew Kroter. -- Cotter.

:43:15. > :43:21.Great listening to Boris there. A good start by Raonic, breaking

:43:22. > :43:26.Bautista in the last service game. Raonic had a Rocky start, as well in

:43:27. > :43:31.his first service game. He came through.

:43:32. > :43:52.Everyone is just about in their seats now.

:43:53. > :44:02.Nicely done. Bautista, who is already in action today, was

:44:03. > :44:06.completing his second round match against Donald Young, wrapping it up

:44:07. > :44:07.in the second set very quickly and played one set yesterday and one

:44:08. > :45:34.this morning. Beautifully finished off by Roberto

:45:35. > :45:39.Bautista. He has joined the match, Bautista.

:45:40. > :45:42.He was a little bit out of sorts at the beginning there. Played a poor

:45:43. > :45:48.game to lose his serve. Looked a little bit flat. Maybe playing a

:45:49. > :45:53.second match, hasn't got fired up yet, but unfortunately with when you

:45:54. > :45:58.lose an early break to Milos Raonic you can almost certainly have lost

:45:59. > :46:05.the first set, or a set, it's not 100%, but it's right up there. He

:46:06. > :46:19.has not been broken in these Championships yet.

:46:20. > :46:25.It's something that Sue mentioned that he has said, Raonic, what he is

:46:26. > :46:31.looking for and what McEnroe wants him to do is to be more aggressive

:46:32. > :46:54.earlier in points, make his presence felt and impose himself.

:46:55. > :47:00.Not sure if he meant that. Shuffled it over. We will give him the

:47:01. > :47:06.benefit of the doubt and say it was an exceptional shot. Don't think he

:47:07. > :47:19.meant that to be the angle, that extreme.

:47:20. > :47:31.That's the big weapon right there, that forehand of his. He gets good

:47:32. > :47:36.pace off it. That doesn't look healthy. There is little drizzle

:47:37. > :47:50.forecast but it's not meant to last too long.

:47:51. > :47:58.Backs up that break of serve. He is keen to extend his partnership with

:47:59. > :48:05.McEnroe beyond the end of Wimbledon and the grass court season but he

:48:06. > :48:10.knows that McEnroe is a busy man and has other commitments and that's the

:48:11. > :48:14.problem with these super court chasers, they are busy and have

:48:15. > :48:20.limited time. They can't be a coach with you for the whole season, week

:48:21. > :48:23.in, week out. No, I was talking about John Mac today about Raonic

:48:24. > :48:29.and he was saying that he is enjoying it but it's more of a

:48:30. > :48:35.mental side, rather than actual technique of hitting the ball. It's

:48:36. > :48:42.just about what he needs to do. About being more aggressive. A few

:48:43. > :48:52.spots of rain on our commentary box window and Raonic is perhaps using

:48:53. > :48:59.the word drizzle in there somewhere. Fergus Murphy studying the skies

:49:00. > :49:04.with the rest of us. Definitely comes from up there! They

:49:05. > :49:09.can play through a bit of drizzle as we stressed before, it just is

:49:10. > :49:15.holding the players at the moment, I think. Certainly a few brollies are

:49:16. > :49:23.sprouting. The head groundsman doesn't look too bored.

:49:24. > :49:34.It's getting heavier now. Stand by your beds!

:49:35. > :49:43.We have been fortunate to get as much tennis as we have without any

:49:44. > :49:48.interruptions with the forecast. You want these quarter-finals to get

:49:49. > :49:51.through so the tournament can get back to being on schedule. UMPIRE:

:49:52. > :49:55.Ladies and gentlemen, play is suspended. There we are the words we

:49:56. > :49:58.have heard many times over the years here and at Wimbledon. We are

:49:59. > :50:01.rattling through the matches. We are perhaps making more progress today

:50:02. > :50:08.than we thought. I am sure we will again after this shower. It's not

:50:09. > :50:12.supposed to last too long. Mac is a man on a mission. The nets coming

:50:13. > :50:16.down. The players are staying out there

:50:17. > :50:22.just now. Maybe being kept in a holding pattern.

:50:23. > :50:30.The covers are coming on. The players are off. He is staying out

:50:31. > :50:34.there. Raonic is leaving. The umpire is leaving. It might just

:50:35. > :50:39.be Bautista on the court on his own in a few minutes. He is a break

:50:40. > :50:43.down. Might be of benefit for him to go

:50:44. > :50:46.off because he started off slowly in this match and didn't look like he

:50:47. > :50:52.was a part of it until he held that one service game. Until then he

:50:53. > :50:56.looked out of sorts. Maybe he will go into the locker room and get

:50:57. > :51:00.reenergised and fired up a little bit more. What do you do? You think

:51:01. > :51:06.this is not going to be a long delay so what do you do? Go to the lounge

:51:07. > :51:09.or the locker room and keep loose? It depends, they'll be told right

:51:10. > :51:14.away about how long they're expected. If it's over a certain

:51:15. > :51:17.time they'll go in the locker room at the start, maybe change shirts

:51:18. > :51:21.and have their coach with them and talk about what's happened at the

:51:22. > :51:26.start and have a drink or whatever and not a hard drink, obviously! And

:51:27. > :51:30.then just depends, then you have to judge how long it's going to be,

:51:31. > :51:35.whether you get food again, all that kind of stuff comes into it. At the

:51:36. > :51:39.beginning it will be just going in there and listening to the coach a

:51:40. > :51:42.little bit and refocussing. Raonic obviously didn't want to come off

:51:43. > :51:46.court. He doesn't want it to be raining, obviously, but he was in a

:51:47. > :51:52.good position there and was playing well. Momentum was with him. We have

:51:53. > :51:58.two quarter-finals remaining. This one with Bautista and Raonic. Then

:51:59. > :52:02.Muller from Luxembourg and Tomic, the Australian, that's supposed to

:52:03. > :52:06.be the last match up. They may move that. I am still optimistic they'll

:52:07. > :52:12.get to play. It's raining more heavily now. We will leave you and

:52:13. > :52:17.return when the players return with Raonic a break up on Bautista-Agut.

:52:18. > :52:21.Thank you very much, Andrew. Looking at the weather that's coming when

:52:22. > :52:25.this big cloud does finally go over us there will be some more play

:52:26. > :52:28.today. Hopefully more live tennis to come

:52:29. > :52:34.particularly here on BBC Two before we head off to the red button.

:52:35. > :52:38.Andrew has joined Peter and I here. The happiest person probably in the

:52:39. > :52:43.locker room right now is Andy Murray seeing this rain. He has got the job

:52:44. > :52:48.done before the rain. That's. What a first 15 minutes of the deciding

:52:49. > :52:52.set. You can't just decide to hit fourth or fifth gear but he knows

:52:53. > :53:02.how to do it because he is vastly experienced. He stamped his

:53:03. > :53:08.authority on the match. It was a - he got through it. Kyle did very

:53:09. > :53:15.well. When Andy elevates, it's like a hovercraft taking off. He is very

:53:16. > :53:17.hard to play up the pace, made lesserers and showed Kyle where he

:53:18. > :53:23.is still. Interesting match for a lot of reasons. Murray had his

:53:24. > :53:28.moments. Some brilliant points that just made the difference. How many

:53:29. > :53:34.times have we seen Andy Murray hitting passing shots, forehand down

:53:35. > :53:40.the line, cross-court. Puts so many returns into play. Oh!

:53:41. > :53:45.He got the break of serve with that one. We should have shown that to

:53:46. > :53:50.Boris, he would have been proud of that. He would have been more in the

:53:51. > :53:57.air. 17 you can do that, 29 maybe not. Great effort from Murray. Kyle

:53:58. > :54:01.did well on the attack and starts eking off on the forehand. That was

:54:02. > :54:05.from the deciding set, I believe. This is where Andy stamps his

:54:06. > :54:09.authority. It's about a willpower and presence. 29-year-old against a

:54:10. > :54:14.21-year-old, there is a Gulf in terms of the authority they bring to

:54:15. > :54:21.the court. Perfect litmus test for where Kyle is in the game. He is

:54:22. > :54:27.going places, for sure. He had his moments too. Big forehand. Huge

:54:28. > :54:35.forehand. It's world-class, his forehand. His backhand has improved

:54:36. > :54:41.immensely. The further improvement in Kyle, and the first serve was

:54:42. > :54:48.quite good, maybe not as effective as it could be. He is a big guy. The

:54:49. > :54:53.improvement in Kyle, here is him attacking.

:54:54. > :54:57.So many good things in the attacking side of the game. He wasn't afraid

:54:58. > :55:02.to have a go. He knew he had to have a go. He had to attack Murray. This

:55:03. > :55:06.is exactly the time in his career, 21 years of age, when he has to take

:55:07. > :55:11.it on and square up to these guys and say I am ready for it. That's

:55:12. > :55:16.what he is doing. His progress, if you look at it, is steady. He's come

:55:17. > :55:23.through the challengers and won a lot of them. That forehand, at this

:55:24. > :55:25.level the margins are more slight. You have to be better but he is

:55:26. > :55:32.making improvements and doing the work. He has so many people in his

:55:33. > :55:35.camp now that take care of every single bit of his existence but he

:55:36. > :55:40.is the one who has to do the work and he is not afraid of that. He is

:55:41. > :55:45.a big strong lad. Much bigger in real life than he looks on the

:55:46. > :55:47.tennis court. He enjoyed the big occasion, to produce your best on

:55:48. > :55:52.the stage like this against one of the world's best. He did enjoy it.

:55:53. > :55:59.It was telling at the start of the third set as and drew was saying

:56:00. > :56:05.when Andy raised it up a gear, Kyle kind of shrunk a little bit and

:56:06. > :56:09.couldn't match him. Not many can. Interesting, our conversation with

:56:10. > :56:16.Boris earlier, when he said I believe that Djokovic wants it more

:56:17. > :56:23.than anyone else. I think there is also an intangible there that people

:56:24. > :56:29.don't quite realise and I remember when Boris first played his first

:56:30. > :56:34.Wimbledon final, aged 17. The moment is indelible in my mind, when

:56:35. > :56:38.someone threw him the ball and he played keepy-uppy with it on the

:56:39. > :56:43.Centre Court. 17 years old, are you kidding me! It was like his living

:56:44. > :56:48.room. This is me, this is where I live! That's what the great

:56:49. > :56:53.champions have. They have this self-belief, this feeling of

:56:54. > :56:59.belonging, of what's the big deal? Wimbledon final, so what? And that's

:57:00. > :57:03.where players like Kyle have to somehow manage to bridge that gap.

:57:04. > :57:07.Off camera I asked Boris what he thought of Kyle Edmund and he said

:57:08. > :57:13.he has to change the serve. You agree? Well, his serve is quite

:57:14. > :57:19.good. It's a powerful serve. There is something in the action that robs

:57:20. > :57:24.him of a bit of power. I don't think it's as accurate as it will be, as

:57:25. > :57:27.it needs to be, because that's interesting when we used to serve

:57:28. > :57:32.and volley you knew you had to hit the lines or hit close to the lines,

:57:33. > :57:37.because then if you didn't you would be in trouble. Now because everyone

:57:38. > :57:45.stays back they don't necessarily hit the lines as often. Because they

:57:46. > :57:51.hit a big serve and stand back and hit huge forehands and yet if you

:57:52. > :57:57.are going to be a great, the - one of the reasons Djokovic has improved

:57:58. > :58:02.so much is his first serve, it's so accurate and powerful enough he wins

:58:03. > :58:06.a lot of free points. Kyle's not going to be a great. I don't see him

:58:07. > :58:09.as a Grand Slam winner. He can certainly make himself a part of the

:58:10. > :58:15.argument into round three, four, maybe a quarter-final. Let me ask

:58:16. > :58:21.you something. What did you think Ferrer would be, the first four,

:58:22. > :58:25.five years he came on tour? Ranked 40, 50, 60. He was always going to

:58:26. > :58:29.be a journeyman player and suddenly, oh! How good is he? I know.

:58:30. > :58:33.Absolutely. Good point. Because it's raining we are going to come off air

:58:34. > :58:37.for a while here on BBC Two. We will be back later, hopefully, to bring

:58:38. > :58:40.you some more live tennis. It is looking brighter over there. We will

:58:41. > :58:45.bring you an update in about half an hour's time. The headlines here

:58:46. > :58:49.today, we have been talking about Andy Murray, he went through against

:58:50. > :58:55.Britain's 21-year-old Kyle Edmund in three sets. He will be on court

:58:56. > :58:57.tomorrow in the semifinals to face former champion Marin Cilic. That's

:58:58. > :59:01.tomorrow. Hopefully we will have more tennis for you later this

:59:02. > :59:02.evening. If so, do join us. We will be back in about half
