Quarter-Finals Queen's

A decade ago, four-time Queens champion Andy Murray played Tim

Henman in Bangkok. It was the last time he faced a fellow countrymen in

a tour event until this week. Yesterday he beats capitulate bed

and -- Bedene get creamed's club. Today he takes on car Edmund on a

second Battle of Britain in two days, with the semifinal place up

for grabs. Who would believe it? Ten years for one and two have come

along back-to-back. Remind you of anything? We couldn't resist. There

is some very confused people waiting for the 211 to Waterloo this

morning. It has been back-to-back matches against Brits from RA,

proving the state of British tennis is much healthier than in years gone

by. The weather this week is making us all feel very poorly and I'm

afraid it's not a great forecast today. Good afternoon. We've had

plenty of rain here this week but nothing prepared us for what

happened yesterday evening. There was thunder, lightning, flashlights,

everyone running for cover. Hopefully no more of that today. The

good news is the son is out and played under way the men's

quarterfinals are on today. Four matches to look forward to. Steve

Johnson putter Richard Gasquet is facing Marin Cilic, former champion.

Edmund has made so many improvements over the past 12 months. Milos

Raonic, the A 's machine and Gillies Miller, who take ten match points

yesterday faces Bernard Tomic, -year-old Australian. Whilst look

forward to and were drawn to Murray against Edmund because his mental

and the man he has admired growing up, Cal Edmund, you will face him.

How lucky is Kyle Edmund and Dan Evans and James Ward and everyone

else to have someone like Andy Murray to look up to? At this point,

he's single-mindedly trying to go after Novak Djokovic. Don't worry

about this drop, I think drug which is in his mind the entire time. -- I

think Djokovic. Andy Murray is making new standards of himself. The

10th man to be in all four Grand Slams. How has someone to look up to

and I look up to Andy Murray as well. We get accused of being too

much like a fan but having watched his progress from being a kid here

to watching him just do everything in trying to be the best he can be.

I found his story quite inspirational. It is something to be

admired and that is rubbing off on Kyle. He says he goes to Miami and

not poorly hits with Andy, Andy Letson stay in his apartment, they

go to basketball games together. That is how you learn because you

see how professional and his dedication and commitment and

discipline. Did you have somebody like that who took you under their

wing? No. Not really. But the result was he rose. Billie Jean King was my

hero but she was in a different stratosphere. Fantastic. You just

watch how they operate and go about their things and to listen to what

Andy has to say about tennis and how he sees an opponent and sizes up the

situation on court it must be invaluable. One thing about Kyle

Edmund, watch out if he is tired on the tennis court today. I don't

think so but he had a fridge delivered to his new flat this

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

it was going to be 7am and detained -- turned up early. The plumber is

coming later. All of these lovely domestic things come his 21 years

old and setting up his flat. He had as at this phase in his life that is

probably quite special for him and have a crack it Andy Murray is

fantastic. You should allow himself the possibility of winning this but

tennis white liberal think anyone can see that happening. Remember

what he did against David Goffin in the Davis Cup. It was like a racket

wielding Superman. And a break-up in the third. And Kyle is built, make

no mistake. He has done the physical work and continues doing that. He

must add to his defence around the court and movement but sheer

physical power, Kyle is as good as anyone in this draw. He is a strong

lad at 21 and will relish the opportunity and if he sees a

forehand, just go for it. Nothing to lose, play hard. If he served at

75%, it would get close in one or two sets. You have to see Andy

coming through it. It will be interesting is the second match. We

will head out live in a moment. Earlier today there was a's silence

held here to reflect on the shocking events yesterday in West Yorkshire

that led to the tragic death of MP and mother of two, Jo Cox.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen. Remembering Jo Cox, who died

yesterday. That minute's silence was held just before the first of

today's quarterfinals, the match on Court just now, Steve Johnson, the

American, has taken the opening set and tie-break seven points to three

but former champion, Marin Cilic, has come back in the second set, and

here's 3-1 up with a break serve. Let join John Lloyd and Andrew

Cotter. COMMENTATOR:

A very different Marin Cilic at the start of the second set.

Look at those two. Old war stories. What percentage by getting from your

player? Honouring the four-time winners,

some of them are here today, Roy Emerson is here. McEnroe is among

those. That will do. An illustrious audience watching on

today as Marin Cilic maintains the one break advantage in the second

set. Good to see Roy Emerson up there. McEnroe, Becker, Roy Emerson

just before the Open here that one for times and then you have Boris

and Andy Roddick. Andy Murray himself, of course, going from five

this year. It has always been a great tournament. Look at that list

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

Wimbledon. He is here today. He's just saying to Boris I've

played three and a half hours the other day with Raonic and that is

what has happened. Not used to doing that.

Becker, of course, you won his first 17 and went on shortly after to win

Wimbledon. There we go, I obviously recognise

him now, the Young speaking to Chris commode, the Chief Executive of the

Apec -- ATP Tour. And Will Young makes good music.

A half-hearted attempt to get overmanned Cilic -- over mountain

Cilic. He has not been too successful with

his challenges, Steve Johnson. I think even he accepts that this one

might not go his way. Amedy Arnie point everyone to the big screen.

Call stands. Steve Johnson is quick. Like he was

out of that point. Very quick steps to the forehand side. Cotton himself

out of trouble. -- got himself. Altogether remains just one break

behind. It really has been most impressive,

Steve Johnson, at these championships so far. Seeing of

Michelle Gasquet and then add a remote real. There is great Boynton,

his coach. -- Craig Boynton. Again, Steve Johnson just working

the slice. Those two so often. Beautiful. He proves too good

against Johnson. This deal of Cilic. A lot of bite on that slice and it

stays low. Cilic did well to get the racket underneath the ball. That

whips right across his shoulder there.

That is a good server, the wide forehand but it must be wider than

that. That is more likely Cilic we know.

5-2 now. He did think after losing the first

set in the tie-break that he might come roaring back, and so it has

proved. Marin Cilic, world number of the Cuban -- 13. Used to work with

Bob Brett, a great course before super coaches came along and took

all of the plum jobs. Bob Brett had coached Ivanisevic. A great talents

to work with. I think he also worked with a Young John Morley. Yes, he

upgraded after that. Again, I US Open winner from a few years ago.

Quarterfinalist at Wimbledon in the last two years.

The time of year that he loves heading to grass and beyond that

come to the US Open. As we have mentioned, very fond of

this tournament as well. So, to Steve Johnson, trying to

remain in this second set. He did not do enough on the return

but at least he is figuring out the body serve and make that return

back, nice, solid volley from Steve Johnson. Pretty comfortable. Little

mutterings of appreciation again from Steve Johnson, the return of

Cilic. Has certainly got better than in the first set. Cilic was really

struggling then. Johnson moves along, it was just

that one blip earlier in the set. Cilic now with a chance to level

things up. This is the first of the quarterfinals.

That has got going. I can't believe it. -- to go in. Steve Johnson

nearly off court. That must be the highest lob.

The forehand has been good in this set. Let him down in the

tie-breaker, which he ultimately lost. But spot on.

He takes it as moves briskly and impressively through the second set,

Marin Cilic, and level things up. I say level things up, but this, all

the momentum is now with Marin Cilic, a far stronger player. We

know how things can change, because Steve Johnson looked strong after

the first set and off he went for a bathroom break, Cilic gave himself

talking to and it was so different. He looks conservative in the first

set, Cilic, like he wasn't confident of himself, he wasn't returning

well, Mr couple of forehands in the tie-breaker and was not quite there.

Did not play badly, but had not raised his game like you would

expect a player of his class to do, but when the match got close since

that second set started he has gone up a level come as sharper and more

aggressive. Seeing the ball earlier and has been much more impressive.

Let's look at Cilic and where he has put his serves. The yellow balls are

the first serve, the blue second serve. He gets plenty of all width

on it. A few in the middle as well. It is a good variation and he is at

one out to the backhand side that we see, he uses the power serve that

time and the amazing kick that he has where he jumps up it up so high,

not as high on the grass as other services but on the hard courts when

he won the US Open that is a particularly effective serve because

it is not easy to get on top of the ball and directed back into court

without giving yourself too much space to cover on the next shot. He

uses that very well. It is not always about pace, it is placement.

It is not a monster servers, it is big enough but from a guy his size

you might think he has a sizzler that gets over 130. It is a

placement serve but very good. The second serve is extremely good, and

again, you don't always measure serves on the peas of the first

serve, it is the combination of the first and second and in that regard

he is one of the best stock -- of the best. Johnson just checking the

sun, starting his third set. That might have taken out will Young.

A lot of passions in this match when Johnson's serve gets returned it

comes down to Cilic hitting the forehand and Johnson trying to work

that slice and defend and occasionally attack and come in

behind it. Trying to avoid what feels him at the start of the second

set, Steve Johnson. He has broken early on.

Good ball. That is class. To be able to feel that drop shot off forehand

with that much pace. That is fantastic, one of the best we will

see in this entire week. It is a nice way to hold serve. What a shock

that was. Just for a moment in that service you feared for him.

Responded very well. But this shot here, most players would have been

happy to have hit that back into court, but he could see it early

enough and somehow had the confidence to feel the ball for a

drop shot and take the pace of a ball that was coming at him with an

immense pace and drop it just over the net. It was fantastic. Not the

sort of shot you work on in practice either.

I challenge, I think, from Steve Johnson.

Rights to challenge. That is wide. We are all having a good time. It

just touched the line. That is too he has got wrong.

It is all happening now. Another one coming in.

He is not giving his opinion on this one. Call stands.

He did that purposely, brought Cilic in with the short backhand.

He made that dramatic. We know this is a big point, the umpire just

confirmed that. Mr Cilic has two challenges

remaining. This is more likely Steve Johnson we saw in the first set,

very impressive and Marin Cilic is letting himself slip away for a

moment. Three break points for the American.

Chased this one down so hard. Almost away.

One of the three remains for Johnson.

Deuce. So aggressive on these break points, Cilic.

What an answer that is from Marin Cilic, 0- 40 in the deciding set.

Reels off the next five points. Yes, that was nothing to do with Steve

Johnson, he couldn't do anything about that, it was pinpoint service

accuracy. Five superb points from Cilic.

That is great play. Great service game from Steve Johnson, keeps his

nose just in front in this deciding set. All to play for.

I did think once Cilic had worked so hard to hold his own serve, he might

be have a real go at Johnson's serve. But Johnson just not giving

him a chance. No, he started off this set really well, Johnson. Got

batted around a bit towards the end of the second set, but came out here

and re-established himself. Add that 0- 40 chance, and Cilic reeled off

five quick points. But one set, anything could happen on a grass

court now. Johnson looks pretty confident. Looking to go further

than he has before in an ATP Tour event. In terms of the majors, Steve

Johnson's breakthrough within 2012 at the US Open when you reached the

third round. He lost to Richard Gasquet. He has also been to the

third round at the Australian Open three times. But that is just about

his level. But you can see he could move beyond that. I think the big

result was his first round here, where he beat Richard Gasquet. That

is the first top ten player he has beaten in his career.

Psychologically that would be a nice one to remove, having had it weighed

on his mind. Now he will believe he can go up against the top guys and

go through. That meant a big difference to him. Just like him to

come over his backhand a bit more. A good slice, but it puts you in a

defensive position a bit too many times.

Too far away from the ball, that one, got down so low.

Once again the number five seed is going to have to find something.

Staring down some rate points and now 0- 30. -- break points.

Too accurate and powerful from the Croatian.

And again, success in that corner for Cilic.

Again, he has had some scares in this serve. 0- 40 down in his

previous service game and 0- 30 down in this one. I did say Steve Johnson

was looking to reach his first semifinal. He did reach the

semifinal in Valencia, where he lost to Roberto Bautista Agut. This his

first appearance at Queen's and enjoying the experience. 2-1, the

decider. Pinpoint accuracy. Big forehand. Hit

that one, looks like it was going to go wide, but a lot of width, 90

miles an hour. You could see the extreme spin.

Again, has to be so accurate to work the drop shot against Johnson, but

it wasn't there. He's so quick. If it had been on a hard court and it

had bounced up a little higher, would have got it. He made it, but

it was too low. A good effort to even get his racket to the ball.

Just wide, and again Johnson holds fairly comfortably. Still worrying

times for the number five seed. Marin Cilic on serve in this

deciding set. SUE BARKER: The crowd enjoying the quality of tennis on

display in this quarter final and no doubt looking forward to the next

quarterfinal as well, as Andy Murray takes on Kyle Edmund. Andy and Kyle

were both out practising today. Andrew Castle is with me. He has the

practice in and has been looking good in both his opening matches,

hasn't he? He looks like he's doing just enough to get through. This has

been the big story this week. I have really felt Andy has been playing

knowing Ivan Lendl is over there. Kyle, probably not the biggest match

of his career, but his biggest one. The Davis Cup final debut last year

was enormous, but another good step for him today. It doesn't matter it

was a walkover last time, this time nothing to lose against Andy Murray

and he will go for it. When I say nothing to lose, it doesn't mean he

won't care, but go ahead and throw the firepower. Practising his serve,

that will be key, winning his service games? If he doesn't get

points on his serve, he has no chance of winning. He only has two

or 3% chance of winning anyway. But it will be good to watch his

progress. Good forehand and backhand as well. We saw some rather dark

clouds, I am pleased to say they have gone past. Let's go back and

continue to enjoy this first quarterfinal. COMMENTATOR: The sun

is shining down. On this famous old court. It has seen some champions,

and again, four-time winners, a few of them are around, Boris Becker,

Lleyton Hewitt. Marin Cilic has won it once. Still in a bit of trouble.

Frustration, he knew he was well in that rally.

It was a great get, the first one, but just lost his connection on the

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

this one up. A full-length dive there.

An easier service game for Marin Cilic.

Getting towards the business end of the set and match. This is where you

expected Cilic to have the ability to up his game a little bit.

Wide from Cilic. A lovely touch again from Steve Johnson. It really

is, another gorgeous shot. The last one, when a forehand came at him he

hit a forehand drop shot and this time a backhand drop shot. And sure

enough, it was successful. A superb game he is playing here.

Again, that variation with the Serbs. -- serves.

At that stage, the business end of things, this is when the tension

does creep in, but no sign of it from Johnson. He handcuffed Cilic

with the serves, so accurate, didn't give Cilic a chance to get into the

game. A very good service game. He looks so confident. I think that win

against Richard Gasquet in the first round, we go back to his college

career, which was in which he was the champion for two years, he had

an astounding record of winning 72 matches in a row. That is pretty

remarkable, there are some pretty good players at college level. They

play a no ad system as well, which makes it risky. Matches day after

day, to win 72 matches in a row and win two titles in a row, that is

pretty special. A good match player under pressure. And again, off the

two, perhaps look slightly more comfortable at the moment. We did

think when we saw that second set and Cilic moving through it so well,

maybe Johnson's days were numbered, but again the ebb and flow of the

tennis match, the force was with Johnson in the first set and seems

to be with him again. Still with serve, but Cilic always chasing

things slightly, serving second in this Teesside inset. Seats are

filling up in the sunshine here. Andy Murray against Kyle Edmund to

come. They will play the winner of this match.

Again, the noise of appreciation from Steve Johnson.

That would have been outrageous, if he'd made that shot.

Again, solid from Cilic. Pick a winner. Match now on a knife edge,

as we get to 4-4 in the decider. Not easy serving from this end, with

the sun. Late, late call and Cilic

immediately challenged. The ball is called out.

No umpire enjoys it as much as he does.

It was a good call eventually, though. The call stands.

Touch of the net from Steve Johnson. Rarely seen. The umpire steps in.

Wow, what time this to happen. Any part of the body... Mr Cilic has

one challenge remaining. We couldn't really see from here. The umpire

saying it was his foot. Maybe just moved on as we lose the

shot. We have to trust the umpire, very good umpire. Big moments, break

points. What an effort, but it's wide and

Johnson is broken. What a game. Cilic moving through to the

semifinals an Steve Johnson and on. So had to put something like that

behind you. Very difficult. Interesting of the talks to the

umpire or not, because he is a very fair player, Steve Johnson. His

reputation is impeccable. Let's see... He doesn't seem to be. You

know if you've done it, obviously you will feel it as a player. I

don't think he's too annoyed about it. Probably annoyed more at himself

than anything. If he for sure new in his mind he hadn't touched it with

his feet he would be up at the net disputing it. As you said, a very

fair player, Johnson. A few players would be haranguing the umpire. He

is going to have to try and break Cilic now. It definitely affected

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

has played a heck of a match here and it will be sad if it comes down

to that point, which it may well do in the end, because that was a big

point. If his foot did slide, it must have slipped that the last

fraction and hit the net. Very unlucky. This would be enormous the

Steve Johnson to get into the semifinal. Marin Cilic has been many

times before and won the US Open. I think it matters slightly more to

Steve Johnson band Cilic, but Cilic did enough to be there himself. And

now he is serving for a place in the semifinals.

Mr Johnson is challenging the call, the ball is called in. A look at

this call, one born of frustration, not entirely backed up by belief. On

the line. The call stands. And suddenly the world is against

you. Mr Johnson has two challenges remaining.

Just came out of that forehand there.

So, Marin Cilic, champion in 2012, with two match points.

Takes it at the very first attempt, and the number five seed moves

through, after a good few problems against Steve Johnson. Who couldn't

repeat his efforts after seeing the number four seed, Richard Gasquet,

couldn't do it against the number five. Cilic goes through. A hard

earned victory indeed for the Croatian.

What a way for it to end the Steve Johnson. Not saying he would have

won that game in any case, but the little touch on the net possibly a

turning point. After those good wins, he was undone by Marin Cilic

today. It is Cilic who will go through to play the winner of their

next match on Court, which everyone is excited about. Andy Murray

against Kyle Edmund. Steve Johnson moves on. With thoughts of what

might have been... And Cilic mentioned he won in 2012 against now

banding -- Nalbandian. Kyle Edmund with other plans. This is the

winning moment for Marin Cilic. Cries of celebration. Marin Cilic is

safely through to the semifinals, the first man through to the last

four after that 3-set victory over Steve Johnson. Let's get the

thoughts of Cilic, talking to John. Many congratulations, a tough old

contacts? Very tough, I think Steve was playing pretty good today and

serving well. Unfortunately I played a little bit bad in that first set

tie-break. I had to dig out this match from the second and third set.

It wasn't easy. The first game in the third set 0- 40 down and in the

second zero to 30 down. But generally I am happy with the way

I'm playing and hopefully I can continue. Have you ever played a

match where perhaps the key turning point, right towards the end of the

game, was a decision by an umpire about a player touching the net?

Well, I haven't. I had a few times in my career where I was touching

the net and it wasn't good. Obviously it can turn around the

condition of the court. But sometimes it can happen, its grass,

and you can't really stop close to the net. I think it was a pretty

good match today. You won here four years ago, got the final beer after.

It must be one of your favourite events on the circuit? Absolutely, I

really enjoy to play here. Grass suits my game and when I am in good

form I cannot wait play really well. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's

match. I will play either Andy or Kyle, so it will probably be a bit

of a crowd against me, but I'm going to enjoy that. I always enjoy the

atmosphere here and thanks to everyone for their support. Good

luck tomorrow, a bit, on behalf of the crowd. Marin Cilic, through to

another semifinal here at Queen's Club. If I could ask you all to stay

in your seats pleased, because we are going to have a presentation in

a few moments with four of the greatest champions ever to play here

at Queen's and four of the absolute giants in the history of tennis.

So, for the fourth time, McEnroe holds up the cup.

As I'm sure you're aware, Andy Murray is trying to win the Queens

this year for the fifth time but a lot of great players have won it

four times and we will have a special presentation to four of the

legends of Queen's Club. In no particular order, but because I'm

looking at him just now, please welcome the one and only Mr Boris

Becker. And then in order of seniority, John McEnroe. And another

special presentation to him last year, Lleyton Hewitt. And for some

of you who are steeped in the history of tennis from the era when

Australia really did rule the tennis world, Roy Emerson.

If I can have a quick word with all of you, Boris, this was the

tournament that launched you in the tennis world because three weeks

after winning here he won Wimbledon for the first time. It was my very

first tennis tournament I have one and obviously I went on to win

another two or three. It is a place I'll remember for the rest of my

life because of the winning are members like an here and it is a

wonderful place. When you look at pictures of you as a 17-year-old

does it feel like it to someone else? It was. I was going to say it

is my younger brother. But I don't have one. Eventually I have to admit

it was me. What is your favourite memory of playing here? One match

that sticks in your mind? My first professional tournament was at

Queens and I played a guy, I lost in the finals to Tony Roach. I thought

to myself, I want to somehow, somewhere, learn how to volley like

this guy. So I think I got somewhere near his level and the only other

thing I want to say now is why didn't they have a challenge system

when I played? I would have been proven right. What is interesting

now is your coaching Brimelow is Routledge and you're sitting there

in the box -- meals round which. You're now in line with the service

line and realise what a hard job it is. I realised it then, I did have a

strange way of showing it. Lleyton, your youngster in comparison to

these guys. You're full -- year for titles, is the one that sticks out?

Public my first final at the time. Makes Aburas was one of the best

grass court players and a guy I idolised and looked up to. To be out

here on these grass court bundled up the trophy after beating him the

finals was special. Given the value of your generation, when you have

this man on your right from the era of Newcombe and Road, what is he

need to tennis in Australia? All of those guys mean so much. They fought

so hard to give us the great opportunity to be professionals and

set up the ATP Tour and we all these guys so much. It is a great honour

standing alongside not just ride with these other two champions here

today. Roy, you are the wily one who won this title four years a row. It

is incredible. What was Queen's Club like in the early 60s? I played here

in 54. He were winning it in the 60s though. Well, nine years later. I

love Queens because we did not have any practice courts out of Wimbledon

at that time. Our warm up was here and I played indoors a lot here

because when it rained and moved indoors and trained indoors. It used

to render as well? Yes. I have fond memories of Queens. Tell us, these

cute stands that were used to, what was the attendance like in those

days? Nothing like this. This is magnificent. But we still had a lot

of fun back in those years. As I said, I would not have won Wimbledon

without the end all courts here, which I trained on. -- indoor. I had

the good fortune of winning, I think I lost a Labour lav in 62. Not a bad

man to lose two. He was a bit of a pain to play against. It is just a

great place. Fantastic to have you here and Lleyton and John and Boris

and the reason we are doing this is I had a quick word with Stephen

Farrell and you will make some special presentations to these guys.

Tell us about these. Last year Andy Murray joined the ranks of the

legendary players we have an court today and a couple of others in

winning this title for a times and this year we wanted to celebrate our

814 champions Castle around the site you can see pictures of the fall

great players we would have with us on court and Anthony Wilding and

Major Ritchie and Andy, so we invited Roy to be a special guest of

the tournament this year and we were delighted when John and Boris and

Leighton could also join us today. This is a tournament with fantastic

champions and we are proud to have this presentation. Jim has been the

tournament referee here for a 30 minute and agree the groundsman I

going to present trophies. Lleyton obviously has won but we have three

here. David Law, Leighton will present this to Roy Emerson. He read

-- here we are, two giants of Antipodean tennis. Roy Emerson,

fantastic. And Jim, would you like to give that to John.

And Graham, to Boris, if you would. So, ladies and gentlemen, for

legends, genuine legends of tennis, Lleyton Hewitt, Roy Emerson, John

McEnroe and Boris Becker. Wonderful scenes on Centre Court and

wonderful to recognise the legends on court who have entertained the

crowds over the years. And all smiles on Centre Court. Four of the

game's greatest. They have won this title four times but next on court

is a man who is aiming for five. And he's playing well. Andy Murray

will be facing fellow Brit Kyle Edmund in our next quarterfinal.

John Lloyd is with me in the studio. That was so much fun. Rate senses of

humour. They are all great, Roy Emerson told me some stories about

Queens come played on the wood and he was the fittest in his

generation. The equivalent of Dokovic or Nadal. He would come out

of the wood and play for two hours and do Juan want and in the

afternoon he would play five sets of singles every day for a week and

would tire out all the practice partners. They were treated them in

because he would exhaust them because he was so fit. He always

believed that you have to play a fifth set better than your first

set. That was his motto. Such a great era for Australian tennis. And

also listening to Boris, you forget he was only 17 when he came here,

unseeded at Wimbledon. It was an incredible storage. I don't think

that will happen again. Never. After he won it I remember, people said,

can you win Wimbledon? I don't know what the odds were but it was

ridiculous and he went and won Wimbledon. I had practised with him

about a month previously on clay and I was practising with him and Bob

Brett and we looked at him and thought, he's a good player but at

the -- a bitter role. 60s led to his old and the trophies here at

Wimbledon. OK, we know that we are clocking about. As for back at

Wimbledon, handmade times does he mention the challenge system? He

loves it! It would have been funny if he had been here. Would it have

been the same McEnroe? In some way, yes. He would have questioned the

Hawk-Eye. Exactly! We have Andy Murray coming up next and four

titles he has one, incredible achievement, and going for five. We

have had Soomin Lee great players playing here come as bees and is

amazing players along the journey as he mixes well to court behind Kyle

Edmund, it is an incredible record. He just keeps on these records are

astounding, these Grand Slam records. Ten finals and two wins in

slams in an era where we have seen some ridiculous players at this top

level to compete with them. Coming into Queens if he has a chance of

winning five with the standards drop has had in the last few years when

he has played and company French Open on the grass, it is

magnificent. All these players, every player you speak to loves

records, they love beating records and holding records and Andy Murray

wants to win this tournament but don't go onto five, that will mean a

lot to him. It is interesting, in tennis people think about world

rankings but to players, the rankings don't mean it, it is about

titles. The play. Obviously Andy would like to be number one in the

world at some stage, which surely it will be. It is all about titles,

winning tournaments and slams, that is what you are for and they fight

for a new work hard for. As far as Kyle Edmund goes, he's speaking

yesterday about how much he has looked up to Andy and admired him

and has gone and trained with him. It is always difficult when you play

one of your heroes. I don't knew if you will remember who you please

come to intimidating to see them at the other end. It is right, the good

thing is he has practised with him so many times and been a key member

of the Davis Cup, so that will certainly help. He will have got

used to that, which is something great. It is a great match for Kyle.

What a chance to go up against the man, Andy Murray. And all of these

practice sessions they've had and gone play against him to see where

he is that in his level, when you play like Kyle Edmonds, hang around

the top players. Not just on the cord come off the court, learn what

they say and do and how they go about their game. You can only get

better when you do that. Murray has changed so much over the years

physically. He has taken it to a new level. He, Djokovic, Nadal and

there. Sometimes 10-hour days, not just on the court, in the gym,

Pilates, stretching. There is more to it than just hitting tennis

balls. Yes, people do not understand what goes into it at this level. I

know it is all sport but at the top, it is ridiculous. Let's face it,

that is the only site of the tennis court that you are in complete

control is your physical ability, so when he goes on the court Andy

Murray knows there's basically in his mind he feels he is fitter than

anyone else. Novak Djokovic to argue about that but in his mind he does

not think there is anyone he plays that can run as many balls down as

he can't, particularly over five sets. It is a great weapon when you

go on court. Speaking of weapons, two different matches, using

different weapons in both. Yesterday against Bedene, it was a super game

from him and raised his level when it mattered, towards the latter

stage of the match. I thought he played very well, complete contrast

to playing Mahut in the first round, who was covering the net and giving

him a target. He had to work the ball around and Bedene played very

well. I loved his attitude since he came on the court. He has been very

sharp, he is focused and once this. He has had a couple of niggles, but

it has been positive and I think he's playing very well. For this

tournament and Wimbledon looking ahead, he cannot be in better shape

than right now after the French Open. Such a variety of shops on

display. The choices and as every turn the ball comes over to him. The

thing with Murray as we streak about him here, a British treasure. But

overseas the public love him because he brings to the court something so

different. People say today that a lot of tennis is a bit the same in

some ways, but not Murray. He has so much variation. Every shot in the

book. He is so quick, he has it all and people love that, they love his

style. The drop shots, the logs, a death touch. He has so much feel.

The service, the weapon, he has improved his second serve in the

last two months. He changed it. He has made alterations and that is

brave when you are already world number two. Guess why? He is not

number one. He wants to be number one. Everything there is to get that

level he will do that, which is why this man, a Van Ligman, is back in

the picture. Alongside Jamie Delgado, that seems to be a dream

team for him, really good friends with Jamie, so nice to have a friend

as well. He's also a college coach with Gillies Miller, he raised him

up the rankings as well. A bit of a worry yesterday with the right

shoulder. We hope that is OK. But as the Kyle Edmund, we saw him standing

next of Murray, he has physically changed as well. He is strong. No

bad that -- no doubt about that. Using very good shape. We all speak

that weapons in the game, big first serve and forehand. His backhand

definitely improved. The thing he has to work on is his defending is

not quite as good. The quick movements, he is not quite there

yet. But he will improve, he is a good match player and loves a

challenge and I cannot wait dizzy how he reacts to this. I hope Yumbis

is the occasion, think he will and he will go out and put everything on

the mark and see where he is at the level of Andy Murray. I think he

will have learned a lot from playing in the Davis Cup tie. Making your

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

out of gas because nerves and everything else, but the first two

sets he was making golfing look like an average. Was brilliant. Should

embrace this occasion. He had his first win over a top player against

Gillies Simon, and some points from that, speak about weapons. His

forehand is world-class. It is big. You busy the backhand has improved.

It is a weakness but I don't think so any more. You cannot press on

that side, the forehand, you can see the whip, not afraid to go into the

net, which is good. He is becoming an all-round player and for British

tennis and Davis Cup, his best surface is probably clay, which we

haven't had from any years. He is coming in as a number two and if

Andy doesn't play he will be a solid number one. It is looking good. And

he was asked yesterday and said he is a potentially top 20 player. That

is pretty good. Sadly top 50, will not disagree with top 20. Andy knows

better. He has been around him so he will know, these players don't say

things like that unless they mean it. He must make things happen

today, like he did against Gillies Simon. He has to use his weapons and

not get too much involved in the long rallies because he would win

them. No, it is a dividing line when you go up against a player above you

because you have to go slightly outside your comfort zone. You'd

want to go too far ready areas, all over the place but if you go and

play like a normal match he has no short so as to be aggressive and

when he sees an opening there be no visitation. He may be has to make

some more errors, even on the second serve or have to go more than

normal. Maybe a few more double faults but he has to gamble. If he

goes out and displays his game, that will not be enough. The Maastricht

extra. He was speaking about how he has learned so much from Andy,

including dealing with life on tour. He has added to his team,

nutritionist, there is more to it than just having to get the diet

fight and training right, all the injuries sorted. It is one of the

great regret I have from when I played. I learned too late, hang

around with the winners, the real winners. If you can hang around them

and be around them in practice sessions and learn what they do of

the court and had to get prepared, you will do pretty well. I ran the

top guys whenever you get a chance because you will be a better player

if you do that. Thank you. We know what to expect from Andy but this

will be a test of nerve and belief for the 21-year-old Kyle Edmund.

Let's sit back and enjoy this with Peter Fleming and Andrew Carson.

COMMENTATOR: Thank you. You were married to

Chrissy, that was hang around with the winner. We will contact you at

the end of the set. Or whatever. This will be fun. The sun is

shining, to quarterfinal day here. Two Brits playing each other, a very

good Young one serving to a legendary middle-aged Andy Murray.

Good to hear Andy Murray turned as middle-aged. Which makes us one foot

in the grave! -- termed. On the first page of the Kyle Edmund

playbook you will see this, big first serve, short reply, good

footwork and then this wonderful, natural Rakitic speed through the

ball. Very explosive. A settling start. 40-0 in the first

game. Nice settler. Big crowd, this. A big

arena to play in, the Davis Cup final. Peter Fleming has played, how

many? Three. What was the biggest one? They were all pretty big. In

terms of people watching? I guess, Cincinnati against Argentina. How

does it affect you? When you play in front of a big crowd can get under

the skin. It is exciting, it is always exciting. I'm sure Kyle is

very nervous for this match, good that he first to got the first game

-- that he got the first game under his belt.

That is the Kyle Edmund supporting roles. They have obviously been had

shopping together. Friends, coaches, agents, physios.

There is a nutritionist somewhere called Glen as well. He works with

both of these players. He will be neutral today.

Tough ball for Andy Murray to deal with. A nice opportunity here early

for the man from Beverley. He has won six of the first seven points

here. Great start. Interesting in these early stages to

see how Murray plays and where he plays against Kyle Edmund. If you

want to look at an opponent and dissecting, look at the way Andy

Murray plays against him on the three big points from 1530, Murray

going to the Edmund forehand side each time on serve.

The slide serve as such an important asset, especially on a grass court.

In the dos court -- deuce court because it takes the opponent well

out of court, stays low, sits through, difficult to return. Maybe

steadier on the backhand return than the forehand? Perhaps.

The old Daisy Cutter on the backhand side. No daisies here. But he will

have taken a couple of millimetres of the grass, look at this one, that

was the one from Edmund, sideways across. I really probing a short

ball. It is the overhead, the missed one

on the first point has caused this trouble as much as anything.

That time the serve jamming Murray in the body, did not really get the

strings on the ball as he would have liked.

He doesn't miss many of those. He normally goes cross-court. Did not

have quite enough time to go crosscourt, the approach just enough

bite. Two break points saved. The sun to the first time a bit of a

factor this week from the end Edmund is serving from.

That is well done, three are wrote for the youngster.

On a grass court you have two volley behind people, if you volley into

the "People are running on so well these days and Murray won't miss a

passing shot like that. Not enough time to cover those, is there,

Peter? No question. Interesting tactic from Kyle Edmund. I'm sure on

paper it sounds like a great idea, are mixed things up, serve and

volley occasionally, but on break point down, Andy Murray is perhaps

the last guy that that strategy will work against, simply because he is

such an effective return. Puts the ball back into play almost every

time, and often into awkward positions. Took five days off after

completing his set of Grand Slam finals by making the French Open

final where he lost to Novak Djokovic. Five days off to recover

physically and emotionally. A fine clay court season he had. The

weather, so far so good today. And despite all the rain we have had

this week, the court appears to have dried out quite a bit. The footing

looks a lot more secure than it did in the first couple of days. Yes,

the corporate guests are making their way in, after dining. People

always like to have a pop at the prawns amateurs, but it is much

better than prom damages here, superb stuff. These corporate

sponsors pay the bills and provide the field and stadium we are all

enjoying, so we will show a little bit of patience - this time!

That is a difficult shot to attempt, Murray's backhand screaming for

Edmund to change to rich in on it. That is about the most difficult

direction he could have picked. In change direction.

And that perhaps is the area of the game Kyle Edmund has improved the

most in, over the last six months or so. The backhand has become a

weapon. Not all good news for the Murray

family today on the tennis court. Jamie Murray, the world number one

and a moment in the doubles, with his partner Bruno Soares, have lost

in a final set tie-break to Chris Guccione and Andre Sa.

The most keenly anticipated match, I would say, at the tournament so far,

this all British quarterfinal. Murray's forehand was an absolute

rocket, the one prior to that forehand up the line from Edmund. He

did well to steer it into the court. Every big point Murray is serving to

Kyle Edmund's forehand. Kyle needs to adjust to that and take away the

slice serve, it is clearly Andy's favourite serve. An big points, move

over a few inches, don't give it to him.

Wouldn't be surprised if he changed the direction on this one, now he's

up. Really got a lot of explosive, fast

twitch fibres, Kyle Edmund. His forehand is an absolute weapon.

A bit nervy. Certainly a serve that Murray was shocked with.

A couple of donations, the last one particularly, when he missed double

fault in the second set. A superbly played game by Edmund, that

certainly will raise his spirits. Certainly not the case, though, the

Andy Murray. Edmund making good use of the first

ball. Watching Kyle played the other day

in his first match, it was the first time I've been able to see him live

in a while. To think it me, first as backhand has improved. Secondly, he

moves up from the back of the court so much better than he previously

did. Clearly he has been working on his first step into the court,

taking the ball early, giving opponents a little time to react.

Here at Queen's Club, a quarterfinal between two British players, Kyle

Edmund from Beverley in Yorkshire. He benefited from the withdrawal of

Paul Henry Matthew, the French player, in the second round, having

beaten another Frenchman, Gilles Simon. Better introduce you to some

of the people in his box. I think we will see a lot of Kyle Edmund in

years to come. In the blue T-shirt is Ryan Jones. Alan Jones, many of

you will remember, that is his son. On the right, Fraser Wright, a

friend of Kyle's, as well as looking after some of his business aspects.

Ian on the left, a physiotherapist, in the white T-shirt. He has his own

practice in north London and will be spending more time on the road. They

are interesting, it's good. 21 years old, spending his prize-money in the

right way. And Tom Davis, just out of shot. A fine player himself, a

coach. He is from Beverley as well, and a good player himself. So the

support group are in there. Also a young lad who has a brain tumour

wanted to spend time with Kyle this week and see some tennis. They have

become friends. That is the professional setup. Mum Denise and

dad Stephen sit elsewhere, they separate the personal and

professional. This forehand of Kyle Edmund's...

This can do damage. This kid packs a punch, both with the serve and the

forehand. Backhand improving as well.

Average forehand speed of Kyle Edmund, 84, that is filled with

adrenaline. Average, 84. That is big.

Interesting comment from Andy there, you're over thinking on your serve

again. Good point. The goal really is to think as little as possible

out on the court, at least while the ball is in play. In between points,

OK, fine, think about tactics. But when it in play, just react and hit

it to the target. Lots of forehand return Mrs from

Kyle Edmund so far and still at 3-3 and playing well. -- forehand

misses. Yes, it is starting to appear that

Andy is not just hitting his favourite serve, the slice, but

targeting a perceived weakness in Edmund.

And that's the problem with the body serve, if you miss the target, was

trying to slide this intermarry's left hip, but if you missed the

target it is in the hitting zone, punished. -- into Murray's.

Dear oh dear, that's horrible, that's two of those. Playing it a

little bit too quick. Perhaps looking up into the sun as well from

this side. That right hip coming through a little early, and that

chest as well, maybe, getting sideways map. A big one, 0- 30.

You can count those misses. On one hand. A cardinal error for a player

of his standard. Oh, yes! Good work there from Andy

Murray. Well, that's how well he's moving,

goodness me. That was passed in, if he didn't dive... He had to. Well

handled from Edmund there. Good work. We had Begovic here the other

day, the Chelsea goalkeeper. He would be pleased with this one. Look

at this. Plays it well, Kyle Edmund, just plays it across court. Looks

like it might have got past him. He did well. Good split step. You can

see him here, land Carroll, he can go either way. Virtually the whole

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

all sense of grace and poise? The moment you finish. Well, I think

that age gets higher and higher each year, when these players come more

and more astute as to how to remain fit, how to rehab injuries. I think

the days of players thought of being over the hill in their late 20s are

over. All these guys seem so fit going into their 30s. What was it,

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

Edmund one of the good young and is, for sure. People are still filtering

in here. There are narrow walkways. And quite narrow seat is, as well.

With a break of serve, Andy Murray. And serving with the new balls. That

one seemed to get to the fence very quickly.

Forehand again. You are right, every big point Murray is serving to

Edmund's forehand. It would be noticed by other players, in

particular other players' coaches. You get to a certain age and certain

position, certain ranking in the game, and at that point your game is

well-known in the locker room and other coaches who talk all the time,

and are around the game. It's their job to notice these things, where to

serve, what strengths and weaknesses has. -- somebody has.

We talked about how Murray makes so many returns, and yet in the last

year especially, he hits seconds serve returns with a great deal of

power. Murray seems in a state of shock,

really. Especially when hitting passing shots. So deadly accurate

most of the time. He is big but he is pretty mobile,

as well. Pretty interesting set, this. There

have been breaks of serve. Andy Murray not really troubled, playing

50-60% of what we know he can. Looks completely in control, like it was

against the British number two, Aljaz Bedene in the second round,

played yesterday. Ivan Lendl, big news that he is back on board. That

is the coaching set up talking with Judy. It is interesting, to bring

somebody else like that in and it is the talking point of the week. He is

the man who was at the helm of Murray's game when he had all his

greatest successes. So it has to be a great idea that Murray brings him

back. I was surprised, but delighted. If we want to see the

best out of Andy Murray, and that means beating Novak Djokovic, Ivan

Lendl has to be the man. No question, Ivan Wendell has a

straightforward approach to the game, a no-nonsense approach, if you

will. -- Ivan Lendl. I think Andy respects it, respects just about

everything out of his mouth. Just having to wait as people

settle. And Andy Murray serving for the first set of this quarterfinal

here at Queen's. That was a mental error, Murray

expecting the return of serve to land beyond the baseline. With

unprepared when it didn't. Comfortable hold. Murray cruising

along in third gear. One setup in this quarterfinal. The British and

one looking very good on Centre Court. Well they change ends let's

look at a few results. The Egon Championships, earlier this morning

Roberto Bautista Agut came on to complete his match with Young. It

was suspended because of rain yesterday and he raced through the

second set 6-2. Straight sets victory and he will be back on

course to face Milos Raonic to later. A busy day for him and it was

a busy day for Marin Cilic. A longer 3-set match against Steve Johnson,

former champion. Came through in three sets, 6-4 in the third and

Cilic will face the winner of Murray and Edmund. Alexander the highest

ranked teenager in the men's game plans reach the semifinals. Marcos

Baghdatis 76-63 that makes 7-6, 6-3. Roger Federer, when threes first set

really quickly against David Goffin. The informed dollar ATM -- Dummett

time. And in the ladies Egon classic, the Australian Open

champion Angelique Kerber dropped the first set in her second match

but came through. Disappointment for the British players left in the

draw. Heather Watson went down the world over 40 and Joel -- Johanna

Konta last two Wickmayer, player ranked 30 places below her. That is

what is happening in tennis around the world. All eyes on Murray and

Edmund. Second set, Edmund deserved. COMMENTATOR:

Just done a challenger level there is a tournament is going on in Kyle

Edmund home county of Yorkshire. Bright and climb remaining in the

quarterfinals and playing Ryan Harris as the challenger. The last

GB interest as far as I know around the place.

Interesting spectators today come including Michael Parkinson, who was

his sport. Some lovely words to say about Muhammad Ali, his passing

recently. It was Anna that smack it was a highlight when they spoke with

each other. -- it was always a highlight.

I don't believe it! That is terrible. That is the easy choccy

will miss this week. That's a shot he will. He has missed three from

that end, that was the bounced smash but missed to come out of the area.

Lost complete Lee on the overhead. The sun went behind the cloud as

well. That is away. It is a match full of

errors just now. Sometimes it just worked out that way.

You true bowler Dusanova, Andy Murray, making a few mistakes. --

not too bothered. How Edmund is doing well considering they try to

deliver his washing machine this morning, where they did this --

delivered, at 6:30am. He has a nice new to bed flat in south-west

London. And they arrived early. I believe his mother has to be in

between two and six tomorrow to take another delivery but the entire

places boxes as he moves in onto the property ladder with his tennis

winnings. I will tell you his real passion,

cast. He is a petrol head. He was thrilled that Jeremy Clarkson was

watching him the other day against Gilles Simon. His ambition is to get

on that programme of his. I'm sure he would take an invitation

from the Chris Evans version as well.

He is cruising along quite comfortably, Andy Murray.

101 mile are second serve. Complete control of the ball. That particular

serve, not much rhythm on the first. He is cruising, there is no chance

at this point of there being any result other than Andy Murray

winning. This is interesting, can Kyle Edmund do anything about it?

This is what the top guys are able to do, he is controlling affairs.

Interesting to see how Edmund reacts.

Wow. Did it catch the line? It certainly appears as though it did.

Any disparity between these two, sadly does not appear to be on the

Edmund serve. He has played well behind it today. It is to somehow

figure out a way to put some more returns in play an big points.

Edmund leads to- one. 2016, and even year for this championship. In even

years Andy Murray has won six matches and lost four at Queen's

Club. In old years, he has won 21 matches and lost one. That is pretty

weird. He is an old guy, clearly. It is interesting how Edmund is able to

rush his opponent today, one of the quickest men on the court. His

forehand is his weapon. 94 Mallon are was one of them that he hit in

the previous game that is rushed Andy Murray, even though he was a

good 15-18 feet by the baseline and over the years as he learns how to

control this, is number one weapon in his game. He will certainly take

some scouts but everyone is playing the game, what can he get to in the

rankings? Have you see it? It all depends how long he continues to

grow. He could be a top 20 player, I did not think so a year ago but he

has certainly improved so much in the last year that the ceiling

appears to be rising. Top 20. Yes. Talk is cheap. We will have to wait

and see. If not higher. The sky is the limit.

So much depends on what the guy believes he can do. With a forehand

like that, we spoke about the forehand come makes a lot of balls

because he seems to understand when to hit it flat and when to hit it

with more spin and keep it in. That is the sort of error that we

don't normally associate with Andy Murray.

Edmund leads 3-1. An unhappy Andy Murray, he will have to get going.

Not going through the motions,. He is unsettled. He is definitely

either overthinking it or just not feeling the ball. Now he has very

excited 21 at the other end who is six foot one and full of muscles

with nothing to lose in this match. He has the wind in his sales now.

Go! Fire up. Just lacking a bit of adrenaline. Nothing like the threat

of losing a set or a match to get you going, bit of greatest -- crisis

motivation. That looked wide on the baseline. Is

he checking? Mr Edmonds challenging the call. It has certainly got some

chalk on it, where that came from will be interesting. Was it on the

baseline white? Just out. Call stands. Good overall. -- good

overrule. Fantastic return of serve. Just lent

on the backhand, straight down the middle, deep. Come on Andy! Just

wants to break that. Deuce Mr Edmund with two challenges

remaining. It is interesting, it appears that Andy is just a little

flat, almost like he's trying to keep the governor on so he does not

explode. Anything over the net would have

been good. Just enough to return of serve. And then he turned defence

into attack. There is the return. Talk about Novak Djokovic. Murray

problem probably number two in the world as well. -- Murray, probably.

Sometimes number one. I think you can make a good argument

for calling Andy Murray the best return in the game. He certainly is

very aggressive at times. Even the boys are having a laugh he

has missed so many overheads. Childhood friend.

You can't miss that. Deuce. Interesting choice, it appeared like

that was the perfect time to go behind Murray, he was sprinting to

the". -- open court. That is the second serve return that

Murray has utilised so often this year, stands inside the baseline,

takes it early and returns it with interest. Very aggressive.

Murray has such a great match player, he strikes back and breaks

back, it is 3-2 in the second set. We'll be right back with this match

but another of the super coaches as lender watches Murray on Centre

Court, John Maccarone has been on court with his charge, Milos Raonic,

the big serving Canadian and he will be next on court to face Roberto

Bautista Agut. There is McEnroe and already the McEnroe effect on he's

being more aggressive, Milos Raonic, this week and Machenaud encouraging

him to come forward and really attack the play. That is the next of

the quarterfinals. McEnroe will take seat, probably the same on Evander

Lendl is in. I wonder if they'll have words on the way they are or

not. What you think? They will fake it. How big a rivalry was it? There

was no love lost between the two of those. Obviously now they have a

great mutual respect. But when they were doing battle, they were not

many niceties exchanged. Ravage Murray -- Raonic, Murray. I

wonder that will be the final. We will find out.

Mr Edmund challenging the call. No challenge.

There is no question that is moving forward, Kyle Edmund is a force. To

answer your question as to how high he can go, I think it depends on how

he developed his defensive skills. His ability to put returns into

play. I hope the noise was worse than any

injury he might have. It's always a shock. Those abductor muscles can

often take a beating on this surface. Just try to change

correction, Edmund does well to play the ball, pushes off the right foot

and it goes. He will have definitely strained a few sinews in that

muscle. The question is how many and how badly. He seems to be all right.

The cameras will be checking if they got that.

And I think that bitter frustration is the thought of the next few weeks

coming up. It is something that will be on the go. Will it disappear in a

day or two? Yes. Looking for that opportunity.

Fantastic footwork from Kyle Edmund. Murray is very disappointed to have

dropped serve for a third time in this match. Talk about a big-time

conversion of a break point. Good, deep ball. Edmund, edging his way

into that corner, hoping to see a forehand. The timing of that move

when you run around your backhand is absolutely everything because if

Murray had seen him moving to hit a forehand he might have slipped the

backhand down the line and got the point. Excellent work from Kyle

Edmund, 96 mile are forehand to finish the job for- two.

Kyle Edmund, looking extremely at ease at the moment.

Murray, on the other hand, distracted.

Just holding off on this one. Kyle Edmund off to the forehand side.

Four aces this match, Kyle Edmund, all of them in the second set.

He's doing himself prowled here. --, my. Andy Murray is just trying to

get through the day, he is a class above, may be two classes above his

opponent, but Kyle is doing well. Things like this don't help. Kyle

did well to dig this one out of the corner. The backhand pass, Murray

tried to change direction, a worrying scream, but he appears to

be fine. It is always a surprise under shock when that happens, but I

don't think we are seeing any lasting damage, or we hope that is

the case. What's been interesting, look at this, when you look at the

return placements, Murray returned pretty safe, middle of the court

most of the time or short, not going to deep. Then you look at Edmund's

return placement, a lot deeper and harder, he is going for it more,

would you agree with that? I think Murray perhaps it's hard to read

that much into it. We have seen Andy return, edible quite hard, going for

more conservative targets perhaps. -- hit the ball quite hard. Higher

ranked man Andy Murray in trouble here.

I think the yelp we heard from Andy when he fell was born of fear,

really. That hurts, I hope it's not bad. Thankfully, it doesn't appear

to be. Mr Murray is challenging the call.

The ball was called out. Mr Murray has one challenge

remaining. Don't say this guy doesn't have any hands.

Here is the game coming up, this will be interesting. Kyle Edmund in

the top 100 of the world last summer, tremendous challenge a

player. Right on the verge of leaving challengers behind for quite

some time at the moment. Really getting established at this level

now, serving for a set against Andy Murray. That would be great news for

him. Line ball. That was unlucky, the ball checked

on the line. Edmonds was well off balance when he hit the next return,

which landed short and he was punished.

He made that look incredibly easy. I promise you, it wasn't! That is a

tough shot. So what is that man's belief like

right now? Can he put down two big serves?

That shot's going to make a lot of money. Already has. Plenty more to

come. Well, what a fascinating moment that

was and great presence of mind from Kyle Edmund. Lovely kick-serve out

wide and moving behind it, it took Murray onto that still moist grass,

outside the normal playing surface. Murray slipping, but it was the

serve, it was the serve from Kyle Edmund that deserved the credit in

that game. Of course, we focus on Andy Murray. But some high-level

matchplay from Kyle Edmund. A lovely backhand from Murray, it

really was. When he stamps that front foot down and lets the

backhand fly, it arrives with the opponent which such weight to it.

He just held back, Kyle Edmund, on that fearsome forehand on the last

one and elected to play with a little more caution. Reaping the

reward. Very good game. It's all going into the computer, this, a

chance to take Murray to a third set.

Wow, that is a tremendous effort. Well done Kyle Edmund! He has

levelled it. And he showed us a very clean, match playing brain there.

Absolutely. And Kyle will be thrilled with how he came back from

15-40 in that game, played a couple of really savvy points. Backhand

down the line. He played that last set point as though he were the

favourite to win this match. Brushed aside Murray. The question is, for

how much longer can he maintained that attitude? A great effort,

though. Murray was certainly in control of the match. He was

dictating what was happening out there and it just seemed to be a

matter of time. We did pose the question, what could Edmund do to

turn it around? Just finding the court a bit more, settled in. An

hour and 22 and he looks completely at home. What a useful match this is

going forward for him, and he may yet win it. Yes, he may. Obviously

that would be a major shock, but he has shown us a lot, especially in

his abilities to attack the Murray defence. Murray so well known for

his ability to counterpunch and fend off opponents. And not an easy

situation for Andy Murray. Playing this young man who has stayed at his

house and has always been this young kid growing up. Now the kid tries to

repay him by knocking him off his perch. This is not easy in front of

this crowd and TV audience. Perhaps Andy came into this thinking, I'd

like to work on this on this and this, and stay calm. And to desire

off the ball, just for a moment. Will have to dig just a little

deeper now. Sue Barker was telling us know joy today for Heather Watson

or Johanna Konta. This would be a very interesting

set. Murray needs to respond to this challenge.

Perhaps just a bit of a let down for Edmund here. Can't afford to allow

this to last any longer. His first couple of games so important to set

the stage for this decider. The value of making your opponent

playing one more ball, it doesn't have to be beautiful, just get it

in. I'm not sure how well he hit that ball. Murray might initially

have thought it was going long. No mistaking that one. It was a

winner the moment it touched his strings. Didn't touch them for very

long. That short take-back as well. That's natural power. Yeah. If I was

his coaches I would say, jettisoned that attempt at a forehand chip

return, just hit it like that one. Scared the life out of opponents.

Even if you miss balls, if you make errors, as he did their... The

threat of winner returns will scare a lot of opponents off.

He can hit forehands as well. As if we didn't know! So, this match is

certainly living up to its billings its billing as what they called the

Battle of Britain, which may be a bit dramatic. Then, and Aljaz Bedene

yesterday. The under 12 Great Britain players have taken the girls

and Boys' Doubles titles this week. That's good news. Sue Westwood is

listening to us from Redditch in Worcestershire. As we look at

Michael Parkinson. She has got a question about John McEnroe, which

we will get two in a second. Sue says now that John is an team

Raonic, doesn't mean you won't be commentating at Wimbledon? No, it

doesn't mean that, we just have to get our timing right.

Oh, he's missed it and... A challenge. The ball was called out.

It's a big point, this one. Murray has upped the intensity, hasn't he?

A little bit of weight to each of the balls he is heading. The volley

popped up on Edmund. That was a bad miss.

A break to love. CNET so many times. -- seen it so many times. Saw it

most recently, two sets down to Radek Stepanek in the French Open,

he came back. 2-1 down against Borg in the second round of the French

Open, wins it in five. Murray never beaten.

The question remains, did those five set match is physically derail Andy

Murray and cost him the final, perhaps? He played Karlovic and John

Isner after that, a lot easier in terms of physical demands.

Different, anyway. Kyle has done really well to reach

this point, but it appears he is going through a 5-10 minute lull,

where mentally he is fatigued, making more unforced errors than he

has in quite some time. So, the memento and shift that we

may have expected, seems to have happened. The question is, what can

Kyle Edmund do about it? He responded very well in the second

set to win it 6-3. The difference perhaps is that he is facing a

different Andy Murray from the one he played in the early stages of set

number two. Murray now fully engaged. You get the feeling he's

not likely to donate as many unforced errors as he did an hour or

so ago. Kyle Edmund to do what, in terms of

British players, what only Tim Henman has done, beat Andy Murray.

He beat him three times. Murray beat Henman three times, Henman just got

him the once, in Bangkok. This is a different generation. Tim Henman

beat Andy Murray? How did he do that? By getting to the net and

volleying like a genius, I can only assume.

Certainly caught my be picking up a bit of moisture at this point. --

the court. Just spitting rain a little, that's all.

Interesting that Kyle wants to talk about the state of the court rather

than Andy. He is losing, so it would be a good

idea to get off at this point. He's done well, got the umpire off the

chair. Well, the crowd want more... But Kyle perfectly entitled to fight

his corner there. This kid just got jeered. Everyone is having a good

time watching the match. When it comes to jeering, Queen's

Club has a very polite jeer. I don't know, I think they can rise

to the occasion from time to time. Not the rowdiest sports ground. --

sports crowd. I don't think we need water cannon

here today! Beautiful shot. Putting young Kyle

to the sword here, isn't he? He most certainly is. Edmonds needs to

answer the bell now or this match will very quickly be done.

Yeah, you go into that forehand at your peril. Murray I'm sure, thought

he'd hit it, a pretty demanding shot came back again. At twice the speed.

The second serve, perhaps a little bit fine. Not at least especially

well. Murray manhandled it. This match will go into the vault of

Kyle Edmonds and give him something to think about, because mentally he

appeared to hit the wall. Right at the start of this third set.

Let's get out one as well. Thank you.

Fabulous, isn't it? This demonstration of top-class tennis

from Andy Murray. The last 17 minutes of this set.

Every time you going to his forehand, that is the one he had to

guard against. You almost have to hit the ball and put your racket out

and move in that direction is it away. He is deadly on the crosscourt

pass. And that is 5-0 and a first for those games in this decider were

over in 15 minutes. Only 20 minutes played in this set. When that last

game at Wimbledon when he served out against Novak Djokovic alone was 12

minutes long. He has put this one away pretty quickly. Yes, I think he

will be pleased to win and to win decisively in this final set and get

off the court before any possible rain delays. It remains to be seen

if he does that. I was just thinking that he hasn't won a match at

Wimbledon yet, Kyle Edmund, he has had three world card in the past,

unable to get through the first round. He has seen enough action

this week even though the second one was a walkover. Certainly the

confidence will have raised this afternoon and he will be looking for

a trip. Absolutely, this match will be a thrill for him because he has

only won two matches on grass on the tour and his entire career. The

second one being against Seymour on Monday. To come out and play as well

as he did in both matches here will help show how much he has improved.

And how much he can expect to improve in the future.

He is locked in now. 95 miles an hour on the forehand side.

I was just thinking Kyle Edmund has played is now at the French Open,

just recently. Having won around their come big Novak Djokovic in

Miami. Murray here. It strengthens you.

At least that is something in this deciding set for Kyle Edmund,

although Andy Murray is now serving for a place in the semifinal against

Marin Cilic. With new tennis balls, which will be

helpful. Well. It is fascinating. That is the

steer that Lendl gave Andy Murray when Andy was looking over their

come giving it words. He's looking over again. He will never react.

COMMENTATOR: That will do! Deuce. The slice

backhand puts opponents in all kinds of trouble. Not easy to drive it. It

opens up the court. That is it. Andy Murray is through

to the semifinal here in the sunshine of Queen's Club. Respect

for his younger Davis Cup team-mate, who took a set of him, about an hour

and 50 played, one-way traffic. 6-1 in the third. Very much the senior

role taken in the decider. Great know-how and expertise at the

beginning. He really accelerated through Kyle Edmund and took the

first four games in the first 15 minutes of the third set. If Kyle

wanted a passage of play back it would certainly be back. Murray is

through to play Marin Cilic in the semifinal. We still have 2/4-finals

to be played here and hopefully under sunny skies here at Queen's

Club. Miller versus Tomic and Bautista-Agut versus Raonic. Should

be very proud of his effort here, Edmund. It was very good indeed.

Murray has a 10-2 head-to-head, could be Murray in the final. Must

get through Cilic first. For the moment he has beaten Kyle Edmund and

is talking with John Nvidia. We will speak to both players on court

because it is the first quarterfinal between two British players in the

history of professional tennis. That is in 50 years, huge testimony to

both players. Andy, congratulations. Was that tougher than you might have

expected? No, I mean. I obviously train with Kyle a lot. I know how

good he is. He is a big, strong guy, very powerful game and when he is on

he is very tough to play against at practice and I felt it in the match

as well today. I expected it to be hard. What were your thoughts at

1-1? I was obviously disappointed with the second, I lost serve at

40-0 and then had a couple of break back chances just after that and

Kyle served extremely well there and I just try to up my intensity and be

more aggressive at the beginning of the set and it worked. You fell a

couple of times, obviously it was slippery and mildly amusing with the

umpire exchange about that. Are you a cause I'm fine, but obviously it's

a shock at first. You don't expect it, it comes out of nowhere. And

near fine. Ten years ago you plays Tim Henman and we made a point

yesterday about the fact you're playing Aljaz Bedene a comedy first

time you played a bridge player for ten years. This last Tim Henman ten

years ago is the future in a British tennis is in good hands about you he

would have said safe hands, what is your impression of the future of

British tennis in however many years when you decide to do something

else? Obviously Kyle is the future of the game in this country.

APPLAUSE It is important to give him time to

develop at his all right, not too much pressure is put on him and he's

doing great, he's improving every year and has a really good team

behind him, they spent a lot of time with him and they working very hard

and they are good guys. If he is given time and space just to keep

developing and not too much pressure on the results at this stage, then

he can go very far. Many congratulations, you the semifinal

against Marin Cilic, repeat of the final three years ago, to prepare

for. Thank you. Andy Murray, through another semifinal. And we will move

over here. A big hand for Kyle Edmund, who played such a fantastic

part in that match! And you are hugely professional athlete and will

be disappointed by the result but I hope you are proud of how you

played? Yes. I'm pleased with the way I played today, as you said. No

one likes losing, but you need time to reflect and it's important you

take away the positives. It has been a very positive week from me.

Obviously unfortunate with the withdrawal yesterday, but I did well

to come to my first round and I thought I played well today. Andy

showed why he has been so tough to beat and why he has been at the top

of the game for so many years, because he always makes it tough

when everything matters. One of the big positives for you must be

breaking his serve three times. Not many players do that?

APPLAUSE They don't. You don't think about

that in the match will concentrate on every point and that is what you

try to do, you can't find little ways to break him. It is tricky, but

especially on grass, if you do break and you will take your opportunities

and luckily I thought at 3-1 when I lost my serve I felt I should have

held. But as Andy said from 0- 40, that was a game you don't expect to

win but you take it and try and serve it out. I asked what he was

thinking at one stage, what were you thinking it 1-1? You just try and

think, it is a 0-0, you start again from you haven't got a lead or any

breaks. It is one set shoot out and ultimately the first two sets go out

and go away because it is one set and Andy, I felt, stepped up a bit

and maybe I dropped off a bit but I don't think I dropped off a huge

amount. Very positive week and for me to play Andy, here's been so good

to me. He has lost three preset -- the last three pre-season is I spend

with him come gives me an insight into his professional life and it

has benefited me. So, it is a bit strange that I had to play him on

the mat because I'm so used to playing on the practice court with

him. It is a bit weird how you are looking up to someone and they have

to almost hear them as your enemy on the court. Andy has been really good

to me, so. One final point. APPLAUSE

It was a huge occasion today. Everyone who is seasoned watchers

say they could not remember a crowd being so engrossed and engaged in a

game for ages. What did it feel like for you being here on Centre Court

at Greens playing your idol and the second best player in the world. At

one point you had him on the ropes? Yes, the entire occasion of it, I've

never played on this court until I played on Wednesday and I loved it.

Even though I got the withdrawal yesterday, I was disappointed

because I could not come on and play, which is what I wanted to do.

Luckily I had a great opportunity today, again -- to come on again.

The crowd is great, it is great because the crowd was a port every

point. Definitely a week I will remember. You're certainly seize the

moment and everyone is on your side. And a big wave going forward at

Wimbledon. Kyle Edmund. Well done. We said it would be a test of his

nerve and his belief against Andy Murray, he has passed that test and

a lovely glimpse into the future of British tennis. Kyle Edmund,

certainly want to improve but Andy Murray is going through. He was

tested, wouldn't have wanted to be out for three sets but was very

impressed by the aggression from Kyle Edmund. Andy Murray's

experience and great matchplay brought him through the third and

final set. He is through to the semifinal, quite a cut from Jimmy

Del Gardai. Not much matter from Ivan Lendl but he will be happy he

is to the semifinal. Let's whet your appetite for an event not far away.

What a great reaction. You simply cannot give more.

That was tense. It is over. This is way too good.

He has done it! The Queen of the Centre Court. Unbelievable. He will

be walking on water. That really has got us in the mood,

what a wonderful team I have here in the studio. Peter Fleming and Boris

Becker. Seeing you shuffling your feet when the Championships, great

memories, Wimbledon, not far away. No, it always brings back great

memories. For me is the important tournament of the year as a player

and now as a coach. I look forward to it. What about being here? You

were honoured at an court as a four-time champion. This is a

special tournament for you. Yes, this is the first one I have one as

a player, even know I was a teenager. So this will always be the

first one. I've played here for many years. I am a member of the club

have come here between tournaments. It was a great day to see the other

champions. John and Leighton and Roy. It just shows, it is tough to

win that many events because it is always such a good field. Yes, it is

very short, you don't have many tournaments to play anyway in the

grass court season. This is probably the biggest one for women and so

everyone must come here, the courts are good and the weather is always a

bit shaky. -- the biggest one before Wimbledon. We saw you on court with

the great champions and we had a little conversation with one of

them. What were are discussing? I wanted to know how it felt being

back on the sidelines. John is coaching row which -- Raonic and I

wanted to know, what was his impression from the first practice

and so forth? We are friends, by now, we meet each other of the court

as well. I do want to get some feedback,. How has the tour changed

from when you were champion to now, what the players have to go through?

What changes are there? I think obviously because of the world of

media were living and the internet, players have to be more careful

about whatever they do. Speak about John McEnroe of all people. He was

one of these, not best behaved players on the court. With Hawk-Eye

today, we spoke about that. He wanted Hawk-Eye in his day, I

probably would have argued with the computer as well. That is that way

what I said! It would have made him really boring. I think mentality

wisely champions will always be the champions, they have the same

mindset. It has changed a little bit, the rackets has improved, the

shoes have improved, the styles have changed. You seem my baseline now,

especially in the grass we come in. Having said that, is to have some

feel players around and offensive players and question is how do you

pick and choose? But the best players have to play well on all

surfaces and be able to be comfortable at the net and serving

as well. The ultimate question will always be, who is better on grass?

McEnroe Federer? Becker Djokovic? No one can answer that. It is

impossible. The role of the super cultures, is it more the mental

side? We will ask Boris in a moment, but someone who has been there and

done it and knows what England's big points? The match-winning points? I

think primarily, Boris said it before, the great champions were

always rain regardless of the rules -- will always win. Or the

conditions. Sin-bin because of the way they approach every day, every

ball, every practice. -- especially because. If a great champion can

come and show a few insights to a player and help them reach that

level of awareness cover version has done his job. With Novak, does he

ask a lot of questions or do you speak to him about tactics? What is

your relationship? I think, first of all, he listens. That is not the

one. I think it is easier if you have won the Grand Slam. It is

easier for John Ivan or me to speak to some of these great players

because we have also won something. But that we see -- says the

different from the other coaches but it comes from a Wimbledon champion

to another champion. We speak about strategy, a little bit about how you

have to have a certain mentality and mindset in approach to a semifinal

or final because honestly in the first round they don't need us. They

would play without anyone. Once you get to the second week of a Grand

Slam your inner zone. You live another time clock and unless you've

been near you would not understand the time clock. Everything focuses

on the next match. That is the understanding and the conversations

we have. What has changed with him? He has got better and better over

the past couple of years. What do you think, how has he moved from two

years ago to now? I think it starts and ends with him. He is the

director, the owner, the CEO of a company called Dokovic Inc. He

brings it out. If you have a player like that, it is much easier to

coach because he wants to get better. And then is easy to work

with. I think the trouble is when you speak with people who are happy

with being 15 in the world or ten in the world. Then you might as well do

something else. To give credit where credit is due, he wants to get

better and break records and he wants to be better now than he was

last year. What does he want to make better? There are many aspects of

his game that has improved the last two or three years. I will not give

you many details, but he has gotten better and of course, there is still

thinks he needs to improve on. It is endless with him. He doesn't want to

improve, nobody can make him. The discipline, speak about that and the

commitment he does physically and mentally to improve his game? That

is for me, always, I don't know him or Andy or Roger or Rafa, how the

year after year believe me they are worth it. They have beautiful homes

and families but they work more than 99% of the other players. And they

don't have to. I admire that mindset. They are role models for

everyone else because they would have all the arguments and say I've

had enough. I've won this tournament three times, I have some big minute

in the back, no, it want to do it even more. When we are looking at

the world rankings, Djokovic is so far ahead in the world rankings, he

is so dominant. Is there something wrong with that? You're doing your

job very well Boris. Well done. But Boris will not say he's made

changes, have you seen any difference in Dragovic? I think he

has taken the spot to another level of athleticism. He's like a gymnast

out there. It weakens like me is the first I've seen to slide into this

two-handed backhand with his slide on his left leg so that he hits it

with an open stance and can hit the passing shot either way and can get

back into record very quickly that everyone else would have to slice

backhand in that situation. -- back into the court. Things like that

come is much more aggressive of the forehand and for five years ago is

he can attack and defend. He is, in my eyes, I've never seen anyone play

better tennis than he is playing right now. He's a bit like Bjorn.

Way back when, in the early 70s. I remember hearing Don box, the first

guy to ever win the grandson, Donna buds sitting behind me watching

Bjorn play. He will never make it. Look at how short the ball is going,

he will have tennis elbow in three years. Five years, ten years later,

everyone plays like him. He rewrote the book. Novak is doing a bit of

that. Is that a fair assessment? When we

talk about the greats of the game ap probably that includes everybody, I

have never seen a player that plays defence better than Novak. Some of

the balls he gets, how he puts defence to offence, it's second to

none. That's his core. That's how he was raised upon. What he has added

is a bit of aggressiveness, a bit of going for the winners. It's a bit of

improvement on the serve. A bit of understanding also that if you win

the first couple of matches in a Grand Slam quicker, you still have

more energy in a semifinal and final. Don't go always to the -

sometimes you have no choice but if you can finish quicker, it saves you

at the backhand. It's about winning Grand Slams. You can see what it

means. He has - what it means to win a Grand Slam event. He has won now

on the clay. I am sure that was a huge relief. He was saying he wanted

to win that. It must have been immense pressure in the last few

days in Paris? Everybody since the day after the Australian Open asks

us about it, naturally. What's the next big one? The next big one is

Roland Garos. Every press conference it's pretty much what would it mean

to win the French Open? Naturally, the pressure and attention was

always on Paris. Yet, you have to get there first. You have to play

well in February, in March, in April and May, not to get injured, win a

couple of tournaments in between and put yourself in a position as you

were last year so when the tournament actually started, I said,

oh! Half the journey is done, we have survived pretty good, let's get

the real party started. You go match by match in round by round then the

weather is difficult, the second week it was unfortunate we always

had to play catch-up. Those are the rules. We can't change it now. The

weather didn't work in his favour. The weather didn't work in his

favour, and then the scheduling for the semifinal, they put him on court
