Day 2, Part 2

:00:57. > :01:11.# The old hometown looks the same # As I stepped down from the train

:01:12. > :01:17.# And there to meet me is my mum and Papa

:01:18. > :01:23.# Down the road I look and their runs Mary

:01:24. > :01:31.# Herath gold and lips like cherries # It's good to turn the green, green

:01:32. > :01:47.grass of home # Yes, they'll all come to see me

:01:48. > :01:49.# In the shape of that old Oke # As I meet the green, green grass

:01:50. > :02:03.of home. SUE BARKER: Wasn't that lovely? Andy

:02:04. > :02:08.Murray certainly does feel at home on the grass. He has won 14

:02:09. > :02:15.consecutive matches on their surface, and he loves this city,

:02:16. > :02:21.having won 17 matches in a row in London after having won Wimbledon

:02:22. > :02:24.and the ATP finals at the O2. He won last year against Raonic, and he

:02:25. > :02:28.ended the year at world number one, but it hasn't been a great year for

:02:29. > :02:35.him in 2017, but he is back on his favourite surface and back to start

:02:36. > :02:39.the defence of his title alongside Ivan Lendl and Jamie Delgado. We

:02:40. > :02:43.have moved out of our studio and made our way up to the practice

:02:44. > :02:49.court, it is a little warm, but there is a breeze. Peter and Andrew

:02:50. > :02:55.are with me. It isn't bad, I like it when the sun goes behind the cloud.

:02:56. > :03:00.You are slightly overdressed, he said I have my bowling outfit on! We

:03:01. > :03:07.have been watching Andy Murray practice, he looks so at home on the

:03:08. > :03:13.grass courts. Yes, and at times he has shown good form but then he got

:03:14. > :03:16.shingles, it is strange how it can affect you, injury and illness at

:03:17. > :03:20.times, perhaps a little rundown after his great efforts that took

:03:21. > :03:23.him to world 11, but ready to defend here and play well at Wimbledon as

:03:24. > :03:28.well, without those matches in the French he would be looking to play

:03:29. > :03:34.catch up, he will be ready now for Wimbledon. Every player says they

:03:35. > :03:37.need to win matches to gain the confidence, which he wasn't doing

:03:38. > :03:42.earlier in the year, but at the French Open he did get it back. He

:03:43. > :03:46.did well in Paris even though he probably didn't play his best, but I

:03:47. > :03:53.think it laid a nice foundation for him to come to this surface and get

:03:54. > :03:57.some more confidence. He moves so well on this surface that it gives

:03:58. > :04:02.him an advantage over most guys simply because a lot of players find

:04:03. > :04:05.this service alien. It is difficult, and difficult handy because he would

:04:06. > :04:14.have gone to sleep last night thinking, tomorrow I play Aljaz

:04:15. > :04:18.Bedene, but he has pulled out due to injury, so the lucky loser comes in,

:04:19. > :04:22.Jordan Thompson from Australia, said he needs a different mindset? Jordan

:04:23. > :04:28.Thompson is a good worker, singles and doubles, good ranking, good

:04:29. > :04:33.all-round player, really solid. There is quite a tight-knit group of

:04:34. > :04:36.Australians, but either way, if you see your name opposite Andy Murray

:04:37. > :04:43.on a grass court, it is a tough draw. But he has already had plenty

:04:44. > :04:47.of matches on this surface, and even Andy Murray, nobody plays their

:04:48. > :04:55.first match with complete and utter comfort, I say that, he will

:04:56. > :05:02.probably be well up in a few sets games. The order of play has

:05:03. > :05:05.slightly changed, because that third match now is Andy Murray taking on

:05:06. > :05:13.Jordan Thompson, but what a line-up we have. Thanasi Kokkinakis has had

:05:14. > :05:17.18 months off the tour with a variety of injuries, he has been

:05:18. > :05:21.given a wildcard, lovely to see him back on the tour. He is playing last

:05:22. > :05:27.year's runner-up, Milos Raonic. Feliciano Lopez reach the final inch

:05:28. > :05:31.strip chart, he is certainly at home on the grass, up against Stan

:05:32. > :05:35.Wawrinka who always write himself off on the grass for some reason,

:05:36. > :05:41.the Rincon says he doesn't like the grass too much, but who knows what

:05:42. > :05:48.we will see from him today. On the last match, that could be a great

:05:49. > :05:53.finish, Marin Cilic against a John Isner. They went 12-10 in the fifth

:05:54. > :05:57.the last time they met. And on Court Number One, two of Britain's

:05:58. > :06:02.wildcards, James Ward is taking an qualifier Julien Benneteau, and

:06:03. > :06:11.Cameron Norrie who has been playing college tennis in America Merhi

:06:12. > :06:18.takes on big server Sam Querrey. I had a word with Paul Annacone, he

:06:19. > :06:24.has worked with some of the greatest players, so what you think you can

:06:25. > :06:30.add? Stan comes onto grass and says, I don't want to be here, so things

:06:31. > :06:33.get him down during matches, whereas on a clay court or hard court, he

:06:34. > :06:39.might let those negatives wash over him, so I think Paul, having worked

:06:40. > :06:53.with Pete Sampras and many others. Federer. Henman. So hopefully he

:06:54. > :06:55.will bring a bit of calm to Stan and say, this isn't rocket science, you

:06:56. > :06:58.don't have to be unbelievable, you have a great serve so just use it

:06:59. > :07:03.and see if you can't break once a set. We will talk more variety

:07:04. > :07:06.afternoon, but we are going to head life to Centre Court, because it is

:07:07. > :07:14.heading to a tie-break in the opening set between Kokkinakis and

:07:15. > :07:15.Raonic, and there it is, and we can join our commentators for the match,

:07:16. > :07:28.it is John Lloyd and Andrew Cotter. ANDREW COTTER: Kokkinakis really

:07:29. > :07:30.having to grapple every time on his eight break points he has seen off,

:07:31. > :08:29.how will he fair in the tie-break? It is such an impressive weapon, the

:08:30. > :08:35.second serve of Raonic, let alone the first.

:08:36. > :08:43.JOHN LLOYD: Yes, he had won second serve at 138 in this second -- this

:08:44. > :08:49.set, so he might even start going higher than his top 140 first serve.

:08:50. > :08:54.That has to be quick. UMPIRE: This to Kokkinakis is

:08:55. > :08:59.challenging the call, the right service line. The ball was called

:09:00. > :09:03.in. That might have broken the Hawk-Eye,

:09:04. > :09:14.that serve! It looked to be right on the line, and lo and behold. S

:09:15. > :09:31.UMPIRE: Mr Kokkinakis has three challenges remaining.

:09:32. > :09:38.Just towards the end of the set, Kokkinakis has lifted his first

:09:39. > :09:48.serve percentage considerably. Struggling early on.

:09:49. > :10:00.You are right. In the early part of the first set, he was pulling down a

:10:01. > :10:04.lot on his first serve, hit a lot of serves in the middle of the net, but

:10:05. > :10:07.he has correct it that in the last two or three service games, and so

:10:08. > :10:18.far in this tie-breaker as well. It helps a lot when you are up against

:10:19. > :11:01.it. That was any chance there,

:11:02. > :11:05.Kokkinakis should not have missed that forehand. When you are in a

:11:06. > :11:13.rally, you need to make sure you don't make errors like that. Just a

:11:14. > :11:19.reminder, he played in the Netherlands, and his win their over

:11:20. > :11:23.Mikhail Youzhny was his first singles win in 21 months. So that is

:11:24. > :11:36.the size of the task and achievement if he were to beat Raonic today.

:11:37. > :11:42.There you go, just blocked it back, he didn't do much with it, and that

:11:43. > :11:48.was a poor performance from Raonic, he snatched at it. That has piqued

:11:49. > :12:14.the interest of Kyrgios. It is amazing, the main body of the

:12:15. > :12:19.set was dominated by Raonic even though he couldn't make the

:12:20. > :12:22.breakthrough, he was challenging the serve of Kokkinakis all the time and

:12:23. > :12:37.racing through his own service games, but he is up against it here.

:12:38. > :12:44.Amazing, eight break points saved, you wouldn't have thought he had any

:12:45. > :12:49.chance of winning this set, and now he has three set points. I still

:12:50. > :12:53.think Raonic even if he loses a set will find a way to come through this

:12:54. > :12:54.match, but he will be disappointed with not converting any of those

:12:55. > :13:09.break points. One of those three set points is

:13:10. > :13:44.saved. Kokkinakis fixing the line with a

:13:45. > :13:47.stare. Not just that one mini-break behind him, but enough to give

:13:48. > :14:27.Kokkinakis set point on serve. And he takes it, Kokkinakis against

:14:28. > :14:32.another three seed, up against it for so much of that set, but he

:14:33. > :14:40.still manages to claim it in a tie-break, and much from Raonic to

:14:41. > :14:44.ponder. As John was saying, every chance that Raonic will still take

:14:45. > :14:48.this match, but it is going to be a long afternoon's work than he

:14:49. > :14:51.intended or many of us expected, having watched that first set, you

:14:52. > :14:56.would think surely at some point Raonic is going to make the

:14:57. > :15:01.breakthrough, eight break points. You go into a tie-breaker, anything

:15:02. > :15:05.can happen, and Raonic at the end of this day when he sits down with his

:15:06. > :15:10.coaches coming he will going through that, those chances to win it. It

:15:11. > :15:13.was a loose set from Raonic, it looked like he was almost

:15:14. > :15:19.experimenting on shots, of course he wasn't but it looked like that way.

:15:20. > :15:25.Mixing up serve - volley, ground strokes good times but very erratic,

:15:26. > :15:28.it was an iffy kind of set. A lot of people will be joining us midway

:15:29. > :15:34.through the match to state again just where he has been with injury,

:15:35. > :15:38.Kokkinakis. Problems with his shoulder, he had a shoulder

:15:39. > :15:43.operation, last year, he struggled towards the end of 2015, the whole

:15:44. > :15:47.of 2016, and this year right after Brisbane at the start of the year,

:15:48. > :15:51.he was out for pretty much for months with an abdominal strain, and

:15:52. > :16:01.that's why, when he beat Mikhail Youzhny last week, that was his

:16:02. > :16:08.first tour level win in 21 months. And Nick Kyrgios watching as

:16:09. > :16:11.Kokkinakis was watching his match yesterday, they are very good

:16:12. > :16:15.friends, and again, they help each other when they are out on tour, in

:16:16. > :16:24.terms of friendship and company, Kyrgios talking about how homesick

:16:25. > :16:31.he has been at times. He is well wrapped up against the inclement

:16:32. > :16:38.weather! It is very, very warm down there. And Raonic, finalist last

:16:39. > :16:46.year, Wimbledon finalist last year, has his work cut out to make the

:16:47. > :16:52.second round. But no matter how dominant he was on serve throughout

:16:53. > :16:55.much of the first set, suffered in the tie-break, just that one little

:16:56. > :17:27.slip, and Kokkinakis a set to the good.

:17:28. > :18:24.Well, the net provides the perfect drop shot.

:18:25. > :18:58.Kokkinakis giving himself a sarcastic thumbs up there.

:18:59. > :19:06.He doesn't serve a huge number of double faults, that is two now from

:19:07. > :19:24.Raonic. So, Raonic up and running in the

:19:25. > :19:39.second set. A man who has not been without his

:19:40. > :19:46.injury problems, either. Talking about his hamstring injury, he

:19:47. > :19:48.persistently rushed back to the hard court season because he knows that

:19:49. > :19:55.is the surface that really favours him, and he had to withdraw from

:19:56. > :20:01.Delray Beach, and also the following tournament as well. Didn't rush back

:20:02. > :20:06.for the clay-court season, didn't feel that was necessary. But keen to

:20:07. > :20:08.get going on the grass court again, and by all accounts, fighting fit,

:20:09. > :20:28.Raonic. He has used this shot three times

:20:29. > :20:31.now in this match, and they have all been successful. The backhand found

:20:32. > :20:47.the line behind his opponent. It is just the consistency, really

:20:48. > :20:50.good first return where he stayed with that backhand, that one, and

:20:51. > :20:59.just pulled the forehand into the top of the net. Just can't seem to

:21:00. > :21:10.string two in a row. There you go. In the first set, he now missed this

:21:11. > :21:24.return. Beautiful, really, that one, so compact, short backswing.

:21:25. > :21:30.Kokkinakis, no doubt about it, he is actually serving well now, and he

:21:31. > :21:37.started very inconsistently, he was struggling with his first serve,

:21:38. > :21:38.very low ones. He has made some adjustments, and his first serve

:21:39. > :22:30.percentage is rising all the time. That ball, Kokkinakis, it just

:22:31. > :22:31.checked on the line and he wasn't in the right position to hit the decent

:22:32. > :22:55.shot. Wanted Raonic to come in. That is a dozen bases for

:22:56. > :23:48.Kokkinakis. -- aces. So, hold for the 21-year-old from

:23:49. > :23:52.Adelaide, one of the bright young things, along with the man in his

:23:53. > :23:55.support box, Nick Kyrgios, who is supposed to be bringing along the

:23:56. > :24:09.next wave of Australian men's tennis talent.

:24:10. > :24:45.The new coaching setup, Mark Knowles in the green top is a new addition

:24:46. > :25:33.to the team. And that is well done, one of the

:25:34. > :25:35.better points of the match, as well. There have been short and long

:25:36. > :26:47.rallies. It is just enough to encourage

:26:48. > :26:52.Kokkinakis, it is another game from Raonic.

:26:53. > :26:56.UMPIRE: New balls, please. Raonic inconsistent today, just in

:26:57. > :27:05.few loose things which Kokkinakis can take advantage of.

:27:06. > :27:11.Extraordinary on the return of serve with Raonic, he just doesn't seem to

:27:12. > :27:17.have that rhythm. We have seen some brilliant ones, but then ones where

:27:18. > :27:22.he should be able to get the ball back in play at least, and he hasn't

:27:23. > :27:29.done so enough, not anywhere near enough. Should have broken serve

:27:30. > :27:38.quite a few times in that first set, and didn't do it. That is Ricardo

:27:39. > :27:45.Piatti who is the constant in the Milos Raonic coaching setup, but the

:27:46. > :27:52.man on his flankers changed, through McEnroe and Krajicek and now Mark

:27:53. > :27:56.Knowles, a great double play in his time. He has been chopping and

:27:57. > :27:59.changing his coaching setup a little bit and struggling with fitness, so

:28:00. > :28:04.at this point last year and going into Wimbledon and beyond that, we

:28:05. > :28:08.thought he had cracked it, he would be bedded in the top of the game,

:28:09. > :28:15.but a few issues have come in, as can happen. I was thinking with

:28:16. > :28:18.Piatti there, he must be very confident himself, because in the

:28:19. > :28:23.last for five years, he has had about five other coaches brought in,

:28:24. > :28:28.he is still there, but it is almost like, why do you keep needing to

:28:29. > :28:32.bring someone else in? You have got me. But I suppose that is the solid

:28:33. > :28:38.person in his career, and then he want someone else just to sort of

:28:39. > :28:44.come in and help out on bits and pieces, I suppose, but it seems a

:28:45. > :28:45.bit strange. The higher up the ranking you go, the bigger your

:28:46. > :30:46.coaching resumes become. A different feel about the match

:30:47. > :30:50.now. In that first set Raonic was dominant, even if he couldn't break,

:30:51. > :31:10.he was in control of the match. That's part of the reason as well,

:31:11. > :31:20.again we draw attention to it, Kokkinakis's serve has vastly

:31:21. > :31:25.improved as the match has gone on. I am sure Nick Krygios's phone bill

:31:26. > :31:29.must be enormous! Whatever happens to Kokkinakis today, whether he wins

:31:30. > :31:33.or loses this match, he has justified the wildcard spot that he

:31:34. > :31:42.got, right that he was given one. You can see the talent he has. Yes,

:31:43. > :31:45.he was very grateful to Steven far reand expressed his gratitude on

:31:46. > :31:50.social media. He is exactly the kind of case that wildcards are for,

:31:51. > :31:53.someone who is talented but has had a bad run of injuries, otherwise

:31:54. > :33:00.would be higher up the rankings. I haven't seen any monster serves

:33:01. > :33:06.from Raonic, we have seen a couple at 140. I think his opening serve

:33:07. > :33:13.was 140. We thought we were in for fear some ones today. He has been

:33:14. > :33:21.steady enough in the 130s. There we are again. Hold for Raonic. With the

:33:22. > :33:26.hamstring problems he has had you wonder if it hasn't quite got the

:33:27. > :33:31.same snap. Perhaps just still thinking about it in the back of his

:33:32. > :33:36.mind. It's taken a while to shake off. He came back perhaps a little

:33:37. > :33:43.bit too early for the hard court season and it flared up again and

:33:44. > :33:51.shut it down until later on. Didn't have a bad run at the French. On a

:33:52. > :34:08.surface that's not suited to him. Lost in the last 16 there. But this

:34:09. > :34:13.is where he thrives as well. It really is an amphitheatre now with

:34:14. > :34:20.the north stand there. 9500 spectators at its capacity which I

:34:21. > :34:37.am sure it will be close to it for the third match with Andy Murray and

:34:38. > :34:50.Aljaz Bedene, well, he has gone. It's Andy Murray against Jordan

:34:51. > :34:54.Thompson. The next match on Centre Court is Feliciano Lopez against

:34:55. > :35:04.Stan Wawrinka. When that will be, we don't know. The gumshield goes in

:35:05. > :36:21.again for Milos Raonic. Still on serve in the second set.

:36:22. > :36:31.Well played. Nice to watch that. A good rally. There hasn't been too

:36:32. > :36:37.much of it. Raonic plays short points. A well structured point from

:36:38. > :36:45.the Aussie. Nice feel on that drop volley to finish, good point. Seems

:36:46. > :37:09.to be growing as this match goes on, Kokkinakis.

:37:10. > :37:15.Even at the end of a tie-break we said, and we thought that Raonic

:37:16. > :37:22.would still have enough to come through. But not quite so sure now.

:37:23. > :37:24.You are right about the stature, the first set Raonic's body language and

:37:25. > :37:27.facial gestures, almost looked like he was thinking it's a matter of

:37:28. > :37:33.time before I break and win this set. He looked comfortable almost.

:37:34. > :37:39.Kokkinakis on the other hand was nervous and getting agitated. The

:37:40. > :37:44.tables are turning, best of three sets, don't have much time to

:37:45. > :37:45.breathe and the match can be over. Raonic has to start returning

:37:46. > :38:57.belter. Different proposition now,

:38:58. > :39:05.Kokkinakis. Again you have to stress the lack of match time he has had

:39:06. > :39:38.the past few months. Every minute on court will be helping him.

:39:39. > :39:44.There is Aljaz Bedene, a wrist injury forcing him out of the match

:39:45. > :39:49.against Andy Murray. Jordan Thompson the Australian taking his place.

:39:50. > :40:02.That's the third match on Centre Court.

:40:03. > :40:10.For Bedene you hope it's just cautionary. It would have to be

:40:11. > :40:11.serious enough to keep him out of a big match against Murray on Centre

:40:12. > :40:48.Court. That's a good volley to finish that

:40:49. > :40:54.game. Needed something like that to get himself going here. Will be

:40:55. > :40:58.disappointed with his return of serve in this match, Raonic. He is

:40:59. > :41:02.not known for his return to serve, that's for sure, but he hasn't been

:41:03. > :41:06.able to string anything together. Agitated, looking at his box a bit,

:41:07. > :41:10.muttering. He's just not quite there. It's always difficult the

:41:11. > :41:14.first match on grass, but he knows, like anybody else, this tournament

:41:15. > :41:18.is so important for so many reasons. It's a big tournament in its own

:41:19. > :41:23.right but you need matches before Wimbledon and you get down a set and

:41:24. > :41:35.not timing the ball right, playing against an Pope - the first set he

:41:36. > :41:39.had all those chances and get break points and didn't convert one. If

:41:40. > :41:44.you had converted one you could easily have seen this match going

:41:45. > :41:48.away from Kokkinakis. Kokkinakis out of practice and getting blown off

:41:49. > :41:53.court. As Raonic grows in strength. But instead it's been the opposite.

:41:54. > :42:02.Exactly what Kokkinakis needed. Interesting to see if he gets close

:42:03. > :42:10.to taking this match, he said that he tightened up in his match. This

:42:11. > :42:42.would be a far bigger scalp on his return to more regular tennis.

:42:43. > :42:51.Sneaks ahead in the ace count. That's not in the shade, we would

:42:52. > :44:19.stress, but near enough 40 degrees, though.

:44:20. > :44:28.Second serve, took advantage of, finally. A big forehand. Now a

:44:29. > :44:35.slight opening here. But in the first set these big points,

:44:36. > :44:45.Kokkinakis got his serve working well.

:44:46. > :44:53.Again did it so well in the first set. He did respond. He found an

:44:54. > :45:22.answer when he was right up against it. Not really paying attention!

:45:23. > :46:23.Oh-oh! Well, denied and it gives Raonic an opportunity.

:46:24. > :46:29.Again he can not convert Raonic. Nine break points have come. Nine

:46:30. > :47:43.break points have gone. That was the sort of return he

:47:44. > :47:47.should have made. It was in his strike zone on the forehand. Overhit

:47:48. > :48:23.it by a long way. That's well played. Dominating the

:48:24. > :48:40.point, Raonic. He was always on the back foot in

:48:41. > :48:47.that rally. Kokkinakis couldn't quite get ahead in the point. Brutal

:48:48. > :49:39.ground strokes from Raonic. He just keeps doing it. Raonic

:49:40. > :50:02.cannot find a way through. Just a bit more belief in... That

:50:03. > :50:06.box of friends and followers and indeed in Kokkinakis himself, that

:50:07. > :52:10.this is very possible. Kokkinakis asking the crowd whether

:52:11. > :52:30.that ball was in or out. It was out. So another hold for Raonic. He moves

:52:31. > :52:37.on. Still on serve in this second set, though. I wonder if a tie-break

:52:38. > :52:41.might be calling again. STUDIO: It looks likely. We will be

:52:42. > :52:44.back with this match in a moment. One match that's finished on court

:52:45. > :53:05.number one. Julian Benneteau came through

:53:06. > :53:13.against Ward. He is back in training. He has gone through. But

:53:14. > :53:16.good to see James Ward back on a tennis court and hopefully all the

:53:17. > :53:25.injury problems with that knee has gone away but Julian Benneteau is

:53:26. > :53:29.through to the next round. Andy Murray has been practising today. He

:53:30. > :53:33.is third match on Centre Court, not against Bedene, but now he faces

:53:34. > :53:39.Jordan Thompson of Australia who has had some big wins. He has beaten

:53:40. > :53:42.David Ferrer. So a different match for Andy. He is third on Centre

:53:43. > :53:54.Court today. We have a lot to look forward to as

:53:55. > :53:57.well because after this match Feliciano Lopez is against Stan

:53:58. > :54:10.Wawrinka who got through to the final beating Murray in the

:54:11. > :54:14.semifinal at Roland Garos. And Marin Cilic against John Isner. That could

:54:15. > :54:17.be a long match later. We could have long matches on Centre Court today.

:54:18. > :54:26.We certainly are enjoying this one. Let's go back to it.

:54:27. > :54:36.Yeah, finely balanced. Kokkinakis serving to stay in the set. Bedene

:54:37. > :54:38.is not serving at all today. He was standing up in the balcony watching

:54:39. > :54:57.on. It's impressive the way Kokkinakis

:54:58. > :55:01.has changed that first serve percentage. First three, four

:55:02. > :55:07.service games the first set it was pretty poor. First serves in the

:55:08. > :55:08.middle of the net. Since then he's really improved his percentage.

:55:09. > :56:08.Apart from that one! Again impressive from Kokkinakis.

:56:09. > :56:17.The second time he has held to love in this match. The balance has

:56:18. > :56:46.certainly shifted. I think that serve might have been

:56:47. > :57:00.good looking at the benefit of seeing Hauk-eye. Doesn't matter.

:57:01. > :57:13.Really has two first serves when it comes down to it.

:57:14. > :57:20.He looks like he could hold serve all day long if a match was going on

:57:21. > :57:27.ten, 12 sets but the problem is it also looks like he can't break

:57:28. > :57:31.serve, or hasn't so far. As long as there are tie-breaks others will

:57:32. > :58:19.have a chance against Raonic. That's a demonstration really in

:58:20. > :58:25.there of the second serve. Remarkable. 128 and 129 serve,

:58:26. > :58:33.second serve in that game. That's just ridiculous.

:58:34. > :58:38.You wonder how much he practises that serve. I imagine still a lot

:58:39. > :58:43.even though you would think he can serve like that in his sleep. The

:58:44. > :58:50.returns of serve he needs to work on. You talk about consistencies, he

:58:51. > :58:54.wraps himself in an ice towel. The consistency hasn't quite been there

:58:55. > :59:00.for Raonic but again he is also out of match practice. Certainly hasn't

:59:01. > :59:04.been playing a huge amount this year because of the hamstring problems.

:59:05. > :59:13.Did get a decent enough run at the French Open. But he needs a good run

:59:14. > :59:14.here. He needs to get the confidence ahead of Wimbledon, as much as

:59:15. > :59:48.anything else. Trying to encourage his man as he

:59:49. > :59:54.gets back to his feet. Here it will be Kokkinakis serving to try to take

:59:55. > :59:58.it to a tie-break. He knows just about his only chance really, so

:59:59. > :00:30.difficult to break Raonic. That was poor shot selection. From

:00:31. > :00:33.that position on the court, pushed back four, five feet deep behind the

:00:34. > :00:37.baseline and goes for a shot down the line. That's the one you have to

:00:38. > :00:41.hoist back cross-court and get back into a neutral position in the

:00:42. > :01:15.middle of the court. No sign at the moment of any

:01:16. > :01:54.tightening. Well, can't do better than that,

:01:55. > :02:02.another hold to love for Kokkinakis, and into the tie-break we go. The

:02:03. > :02:09.man whose victory over Mikhail Youzhny in 's-Hertogenbosch, his

:02:10. > :02:12.previous win before that was 2015 on the tour, and here he is a tie-break

:02:13. > :02:44.away from knocking out Milos Raonic. He has annoyed himself there,

:02:45. > :02:46.Kokkinakis, because that was an easy second serve, only 104, he had a

:02:47. > :03:16.good chance to make that return. I was going to ask the question, I

:03:17. > :03:22.wonder how that serve has improved, certainly got better in the first

:03:23. > :03:24.half, I wondered how that would stand up to the tie-break. Good

:03:25. > :03:42.signs so far. A mini-break in the hands of Raonic

:03:43. > :04:46.is significant. Well, he nibbles back. Just trying

:04:47. > :04:49.to get anything on that serve to return it, trying to give himself an

:04:50. > :04:59.opportunity to get into the rally. That was a brilliant one-two punch

:05:00. > :05:01.there, the pace of the Raonic serve, but he directed it beautifully. Back

:05:02. > :05:20.on serve. He dealt with that one well, as

:05:21. > :05:23.well, he missed two of those in the first set almost from the same

:05:24. > :05:27.position, Kokkinakis, where he sort of stayed up on the ball and drag

:05:28. > :05:36.the ball into the net, but that one, stayed with it perfectly. I don't

:05:37. > :05:40.think we can take a third set. His problem is he is not wearing

:05:41. > :05:41.anything underneath the fleadh, so he can't go down to any fewer layers

:05:42. > :05:56.Alex So, we are on serve in this

:05:57. > :06:16.tie-break. And loose again. Something about the

:06:17. > :06:30.bounce. Once more, momentum shifts back to

:06:31. > :07:25.Raonic. That is beautifully done. Kokkinakis

:07:26. > :07:33.through everything at him, but reaction, soft hands.

:07:34. > :07:38.Marvellous volley that was, lunge volley, the approach shot was good,

:07:39. > :07:44.stayed down low, you can see the good finish there. That is a

:07:45. > :08:04.fabulous volley, and it brings about three set points.

:08:05. > :08:09.Carbon copy in reverse of the first set, three set points were there,

:08:10. > :08:36.but still just that one mini-break. Puts the pressure back on Raonic at

:08:37. > :08:38.least. But now one of the best service in the game to try and close

:08:39. > :09:29.it out. Not yet! Not yet for Raonic. A

:09:30. > :09:38.spring in the step again of Kokkinakis, and now it's down to the

:09:39. > :09:42.nerve. He looked like a player there, Raonic, that is not

:09:43. > :09:47.confident, a bit rusty. Two opportunities on forehand to do

:09:48. > :09:52.damage, the first one he didn't do anything with, and the second one, a

:09:53. > :10:41.poor miss. Oh, the technique there, he didn't

:10:42. > :10:42.get his feet right on that at all. So, Raonic falters, and Kokkinakis

:10:43. > :10:54.to match point. A man who has had one tour level win

:10:55. > :10:57.since 2015, a man who has been wracked by injury, on the brink of

:10:58. > :11:29.knocking out the number three seed. Cannot quite do it, it was a decent

:11:30. > :11:52.second serve, but the return from Raonic to -- too good.

:11:53. > :12:02.Yes, came the cry from Kyrgios, and Kokkinakis once again will have his

:12:03. > :12:53.opportunity, this time on the serve of Raonic.

:12:54. > :13:04.He has done it again, Kokkinakis, a roar from the Australian. Brought it

:13:05. > :13:12.right back to him there, Raonic. A nervous looking shocked, that was.

:13:13. > :13:38.So, a third opportunity, a third match point for Thanasi Kokkinakis.

:13:39. > :13:50.And he has done it! A roar from Kokkinakis, who is back and winning

:13:51. > :13:57.at the highest level, he has seen off last year's finalist, the world

:13:58. > :14:02.number three seed, Raonic, is gone, and Kokkinakis is through, and all

:14:03. > :14:05.his injuries fade into memory. What a win for Thanasi Kokkinakis here at

:14:06. > :14:16.Queen's. And he has got something to try and

:14:17. > :14:27.find before Wimbledon celebrations continue. A smile from Nick Arias,

:14:28. > :14:34.who cruelly robbed of his win by injury. Milos Raonic so close to

:14:35. > :14:39.winning here last year against Andy Murray, and went almost all the way

:14:40. > :14:46.at Wimbledon as well, but not quite himself, and Kokkinakis can't really

:14:47. > :14:52.overstate what a very impressive victory that is, bearing in mind

:14:53. > :15:00.where he's been. 2016 was pretty much a write-off, even much of this

:15:01. > :15:08.year has been the affected by injury. Two tie-breaks it took,

:15:09. > :15:13.often the way against Milos Raonic, but under pressure he was solid, and

:15:14. > :15:15.Thanasi Kokkinakis grew in stature as the match went on, and this is

:15:16. > :15:33.how he saw it out. And that is what it means to make it

:15:34. > :15:40.through against Milos Raonic, a great win for Thanasi Kokkinakis.

:15:41. > :15:49.Nick Kyrgios among those who couldn't take their eyes away on

:15:50. > :15:57.that final point, but the reaction said it all. A great win for his

:15:58. > :16:04.great friend. Almost got out of his seat! But what a win for Thanasi

:16:05. > :16:07.Kokkinakis, two tie-breaks against Milos Raonic, very interested to get

:16:08. > :16:12.his thoughts, and he is talking to John Inverdale.

:16:13. > :16:20.Many congratulations. How much does that match mean to you? Thank you.

:16:21. > :16:24.It is everything, it is huge for me. Obviously being out of the game so

:16:25. > :16:27.long, and then first top ten when, to do it on the court like this,

:16:28. > :16:32.massive thanks to the tournament director, Stephen Farrow, I wouldn't

:16:33. > :16:35.be on the court if it wasn't for him, my ranking is nearly outside

:16:36. > :16:41.1000, so I wouldn't have a chance to be hit if it wasn't for him, so I am

:16:42. > :16:44.so excited, thank you. A lot of people watching here and at home may

:16:45. > :16:47.not be aware of the litany of injuries you have had over the last

:16:48. > :16:51.18 months, so give us a medical rundown of what's been going wrong.

:16:52. > :16:56.You don't want it, it's too extensive! No, it's crazy, there is

:16:57. > :17:00.no point about that. I'm trying to look forward now. It is brutal but

:17:01. > :17:06.I'm trying to get myself going week by week. I was 22 months out of the

:17:07. > :17:11.game, something crazy like that, but I can't wait to play my next rounds,

:17:12. > :17:16.this Centre Court is unreal, such an unbelievable club, and the support

:17:17. > :17:20.was unreal, sorry for the first set, it was a bit ugly there. Ann

:17:21. > :17:25.Travers, you have been out of the game for so long, you are not that

:17:26. > :17:29.tight, you showed no nerves at all, it seemed like you were just

:17:30. > :17:34.relishing the challenge. I was shaking in my boots! I had the

:17:35. > :17:42.chance, got a bit lucky, something like that it is usually game over

:17:43. > :17:47.when he is serving to win, but I thought, I am going for it! And you

:17:48. > :17:51.did, many congratulations, see you in the next round. Thank you very

:17:52. > :17:57.much, everyone. SUE BARKER: What an incredible

:17:58. > :18:01.story, and he is brutally honest. Nick Kyrgios was saying he is

:18:02. > :18:04.hitting the ball great in practice, he just hasn't had the matches, but

:18:05. > :18:09.he looks right back to his best, and we look forward to seeing him. I get

:18:10. > :18:13.the feeling Milos Raonic might be checking out the trains to

:18:14. > :18:18.Eastbourne. He needs to, he was rusty today. He served well as he

:18:19. > :18:22.always does, but his ground strokes, he didn't return serve at all, he

:18:23. > :18:26.couldn't string two points together, one good one and then three bad

:18:27. > :18:30.ones, and he was so tight in the tie-breaker, for someone who is just

:18:31. > :18:35.not confident at the moment, but a great performance by the young

:18:36. > :18:37.Aussie. To save eight break points in the first set, for someone who

:18:38. > :18:44.hasn't played he played the big points unbelievably well. Until you

:18:45. > :18:48.go out there and win a couple of those big points, you don't know you

:18:49. > :18:53.can do it, when you have been out, so he is a really strong player, and

:18:54. > :18:58.on a grass court, the physicality he brings, and he has a nice touch. He

:18:59. > :19:08.is a dangerous man. Mind you, that train goes through Polegate, Lewis,

:19:09. > :19:12.about two hours on the train! Tennis is the most credible scoring

:19:13. > :19:16.system, because Raonic won more points than Kokkinakis, he had nine

:19:17. > :19:20.break points and didn't convert any of them, you can't do that and get

:19:21. > :19:25.away with it. I remember once arguing with my dad when he said

:19:26. > :19:28.there are big points and there are points which are less important, you

:19:29. > :19:32.have to win the big points, and that is the name of the game. Agonising

:19:33. > :19:36.when those points are and what to do on is the difference between

:19:37. > :19:39.somebody that has played a lot of tennis and that hasn't, which is

:19:40. > :19:42.great news for Kokkinakis here, he has got the job done despite

:19:43. > :19:47.everything, he won the that mattered. That last backhand down

:19:48. > :19:51.the line, a feeling. You think your career is over before it has really

:19:52. > :19:56.begun, but he is back, and Raonic no good at all ahead of Wimbledon

:19:57. > :20:00.defence, and quite a few computer points dropping off here as well.

:20:01. > :20:04.That he was saying he learned so much from last year, Teresa, I

:20:05. > :20:08.bottled it up inside, I have to be aggressive on court, and that is

:20:09. > :20:11.what he wasn't. We can look at some of the key points, that is what you

:20:12. > :20:19.wanted him to do and he just didn't do it, did he? Know, there was a

:20:20. > :20:23.hesitation, that was the problem. That was Kokkinakis being a little

:20:24. > :20:27.nervous there on his match point. So many serves he got his racket on,

:20:28. > :20:32.Raonic, but just couldn't take the ball back in court, it was very

:20:33. > :20:37.erratic. And this one, why did he hit it back to him? That was

:20:38. > :20:43.extraordinary, an awful first volley. But for someone of his

:20:44. > :20:49.class. He almost slips here, I think. If he had gone down, they

:20:50. > :20:52.would still be out there playing the first set, but he had the courage of

:20:53. > :20:56.his conviction on the backhand side, and that is what it means. Delighted

:20:57. > :21:01.to see Kyrgios cheering him on as well, you need teamwork when you are

:21:02. > :21:04.a long way from home. They have an incredible team spirit but I think

:21:05. > :21:10.is important when you are on the tour. Always have been, the Aussies,

:21:11. > :21:15.in the old days, you had Roy Emerson and Fred Stolle staying in the same

:21:16. > :21:22.apartment, and Roy made Fred breakfast before the Wimbledon

:21:23. > :21:24.final, so they have always have a closeness, and out on the tour it

:21:25. > :21:28.can be a lonely existence, especially when you are losing, and

:21:29. > :21:34.they all get together and cheery job, they generally want the players

:21:35. > :21:38.to win, it is a good team spirit. Yes, there used to tip the team out,

:21:39. > :21:46.and the youngsters in my generation, slightly after you, Stoltenberg,

:21:47. > :21:50.Woodbridge, Woodford, Darren Cahill and others as well, a number of

:21:51. > :21:56.them, they travelled under the BP banner as was. It is a great system,

:21:57. > :22:01.they worked hard, and you could tell they were going to get the max out

:22:02. > :22:05.of their tennis. I wish Kyrgios would get the max out of his tennis.

:22:06. > :22:09.He does at times, he did in Miami and he is beginning to look as

:22:10. > :22:13.though he is getting together. But as far as Milos Raonic is concerned,

:22:14. > :22:18.he has got to find some matches before Wimbledon. I would have

:22:19. > :22:21.thought so, I'd be surprised if he doesn't go and play next week and

:22:22. > :22:26.there, because there is a decent gap now, and he didn't want that gap.

:22:27. > :22:31.You could see it in his game, there was hesitation. OK, he didn't lose

:22:32. > :22:35.his serve, what's new? But on the big point when it mattered, you

:22:36. > :22:39.could see him go to the ball and wonder if he was going to make it,

:22:40. > :22:44.instead of which when you're winning playing matches, it is natural. It

:22:45. > :22:48.was a stop start sort of match for him today and he needs play. As

:22:49. > :22:55.Djokovic possibly down in Eastbourne as well, Raonic. There doesn't seem

:22:56. > :22:59.to have been confirmed so far. Do we have any facts on that? Only that

:23:00. > :23:05.allegedly a member of his team said would there be a wildcard available

:23:06. > :23:10.for Novak? You can't imagine the tournament director saying no! That

:23:11. > :23:19.depends on the negotiation that goes with it. Yes, there is a wildcard,

:23:20. > :23:22.how much do you want it? It is a different negotiation we have five

:23:23. > :23:27.or six games, and they do negotiate the big ones. And there is no

:23:28. > :23:31.substitute for having matches, you can go and practice for as many

:23:32. > :23:39.hours as you want, but it is totally different out there, isn't it? Yes,

:23:40. > :23:41.that is what I was so impressed by Kokkinakis, his first service

:23:42. > :23:45.percentage was awful in the first three games, and then all of a

:23:46. > :23:50.sudden he realised what he was doing technically, he was dropping his

:23:51. > :23:52.left shoulder, corrected it and his first serve percentage went up and

:23:53. > :23:58.he corrected himself in the match, and on the big points, almost no

:23:59. > :24:01.hesitation. He got a bit tight in the tie-breaker couple of points,

:24:02. > :24:06.but you expect that. When it came down to it, he converted his match

:24:07. > :24:14.point well. And not always at the end, I was on the balcony watching,

:24:15. > :24:20.it is hot down there, too - three, 15-40 and she got through that, and

:24:21. > :24:25.this is where you have to be careful because if Raonic wins that, he will

:24:26. > :24:28.win the set. There is a real buzz going around here, and Stephen Farah

:24:29. > :24:33.must be thinking, I could do this guy a favour and then he comes in

:24:34. > :24:36.and beats one of my superstars! I remember when Dimitrov was a

:24:37. > :24:41.wildcard here, so don't worry, we want to see more of Kokkinakis. They

:24:42. > :24:46.like his tennis at his personality. And they will Mike this tennis as

:24:47. > :24:55.well. Feliciano Lopez leading out Stan Wawrinka, a wonderful clash of

:24:56. > :25:00.styles. Lopez knows his way around a grass court, amazing serve, great

:25:01. > :25:05.touch, it will be interesting to see what Paul Annacone has encouraged

:25:06. > :25:10.Stan Wawrinka to do. I would've thought that this is the one round

:25:11. > :25:15.that Stan Wawrinka would rather not have had. No one would want it! Yes,

:25:16. > :25:20.Paul Annacone, in the limited amount of time he has had, if he has added

:25:21. > :25:25.new answers to his game, this is a tough first round. But again, Stan

:25:26. > :25:29.Wawrinka could be good on grass, better than he is, he is already

:25:30. > :25:35.good, but at the top level, if you believed in himself, he has got the

:25:36. > :25:39.game. He is one of the best one-two strikers in the game, there is no

:25:40. > :25:42.reason why he can't win more matches. It is pretty

:25:43. > :25:45.straightforward what Paul Annacone is going to say to him, if you are

:25:46. > :25:50.going to chip the ball back into play to neutralise your opponent's

:25:51. > :25:55.serve, nobody is serve-volleying nowadays, do it as clearly as you

:25:56. > :25:58.can, and then it is 50-50, get the first strike in, and Paul has been

:25:59. > :26:05.speaking to Magnus Norman who is still his regular coach much more

:26:06. > :26:09.than he has been speaking to Stan, so he has to easy jobs now, one to

:26:10. > :26:12.be a commentator which he does a lot of the time, and the other is to

:26:13. > :26:16.coach Stan Wawrinka, which I think he is relishing being back in

:26:17. > :26:23.amongst it, in the player lounge and feeling the tennis again. It was

:26:24. > :26:29.very wise indeed. So, Stan Wawrinka on Centre Court, and he spoke to us

:26:30. > :26:32.a couple of days ago. This is the surface perhaps that you

:26:33. > :26:38.need to master more than the other three, do you feel? For sure. It is

:26:39. > :26:44.quick, the change, but it is the same for any player, so it is always

:26:45. > :26:47.interesting to come back on grass. I love to play on grass, I still need

:26:48. > :26:52.to improve a few things to play my best tennis, and I'm trying to do

:26:53. > :26:54.that. I love to come back here at Queen's, it is an amazing

:26:55. > :26:59.tournament, and hopefully this year I can makes a better results. The

:27:00. > :27:06.one Grand Slam you haven't won is Wimbledon, and it is on grass. Does

:27:07. > :27:13.it prey on your mind at all? Not at all. For me what is important is to

:27:14. > :27:18.keep trying to improve my game in general, my game on grass, trying to

:27:19. > :27:22.find the right we had to play my best tennis on grass, and then we

:27:23. > :27:26.will see what happens. You say you are far from winning Northern, I

:27:27. > :27:31.take it back at Queen's this year you will be wanted to get some time

:27:32. > :27:35.on the grass this week? Yes, I want to play a good tournament here, that

:27:36. > :27:41.is my goal, and foreshore, to practice you, it is amazing, I have

:27:42. > :27:45.been here for a few days, it is perfect to practice and get a lot of

:27:46. > :27:48.time on a grass court, and I want try my best to play the best tennis

:27:49. > :27:54.here. Magnus Norman still your coach, but you have brought an Paul

:27:55. > :28:00.Annacone, is that to try to help you master the surface? I think it is

:28:01. > :28:06.many reasons. In general it is to improve my game or have someone else

:28:07. > :28:12.to keep improving my game. Not only on the grass, but also in general. I

:28:13. > :28:15.think he has a lot of experience, he is a great car and great coach, so

:28:16. > :28:19.I'm looking forward to having him on the team. Do you really feel you are

:28:20. > :28:24.far away from winning Wimbledon? You are the third best player in the

:28:25. > :28:27.world. You have a second seeding at Queen's, you will have a high

:28:28. > :28:35.ceiling at Wimbledon. People will fear you, Stan. I know, and I know

:28:36. > :28:39.when I play my best tennis I can play beat every player, but I am far

:28:40. > :28:42.away from winning Wimbledon the same way that I'm far away from winning

:28:43. > :28:50.the next US Open. I know how difficult it is to win a Grand Slam.

:28:51. > :28:54.Everything has to be great. So I'm not thinking about that, I am not

:28:55. > :28:57.focusing on that, as I said firmly it is more important what I'm doing

:28:58. > :29:02.day by day and giving myself the maximum chance to play my best

:29:03. > :29:11.tennis. How many years ahead you feel you still have a in new, with

:29:12. > :29:18.players like Federer still going into their late thirties? I think I

:29:19. > :29:21.have a few years left. He is so brutally honest, writing himself off

:29:22. > :29:25.about Wimbledon, what is going wrong? You can understand he hasn't

:29:26. > :29:30.got past the quarterfinals of Wimbledon, so you can ask yourself

:29:31. > :29:35.questions. It is refreshing to have someone just being so honest. It is,

:29:36. > :29:40.not to the party line, but having said that, it would be nice just for

:29:41. > :29:44.one time for him to say, I feel I can win Wimbledon, rather than

:29:45. > :29:48.saying, I feel I can win it. It is always a little bit, you feel that

:29:49. > :29:53.he just doesn't think that he can win this tournament, Queen's or

:29:54. > :30:01.Wimbledon. But I do believe that he has got the game to, but if he

:30:02. > :30:05.doesn't believe it, then that is that. The courts are playing, they

:30:06. > :30:08.bounce higher than they used to and they are slower than they used to

:30:09. > :30:16.be, maybe not here but certainly at Wimbledon.

:30:17. > :30:26.You have to look at nadal. Wawrinka has weapons that on this surface are

:30:27. > :30:29.so pure. In the old days when the bounces were down by the ankles it

:30:30. > :30:34.was a different matter. Now it's playing like a hard court and there

:30:35. > :30:38.is no reason why he can't play well on this surface. He is going to need

:30:39. > :30:50.to play well today, up against Three-times quarter-finalist at

:30:51. > :30:56.Wimbledon. Huge serve, had an amazing tournament in Stuttgart. He

:30:57. > :31:04.is a man in form. And used to this surface. He is a class player on a

:31:05. > :31:08.lot of surfaces but this surface, he is Spanish but it's almost like he

:31:09. > :31:12.was born here. It's made for his game. Beautiful volleyer. Glides

:31:13. > :31:18.around the court. Good slice approach shot when he needs it. Big

:31:19. > :31:24.forehand. This is a... It's a 50-50 match. Absolutely. Having a weapon

:31:25. > :31:33.and serve and well left-handed. Stan is going to be doing a bit of

:31:34. > :31:39.running. It is going to open up the court. Absolutely right. In some

:31:40. > :31:42.ways you you have to put Lopez as a slight favourite. It's very close.

:31:43. > :31:48.This is going to - should be, if they both play well, could be the

:31:49. > :31:50.best Match of the Day. Absolutely. On grass, movement is so key in the

:31:51. > :31:55.first few matches when you have moved from the clay to the grass.

:31:56. > :32:00.That's what you worry for Stan, taken so wide into those green areas

:32:01. > :32:04.and then being able to recover and get back. If you had a camera on

:32:05. > :32:09.both and see their footwork you will see Lopez is a better mover on

:32:10. > :32:13.grass. He glides on the grass. Stan is sort of, takes two big strides

:32:14. > :32:16.and doesn't bend as well. Lopez is a better grass court mover than Stan

:32:17. > :32:20.Wawrinka. We are seeing Paul there. We know he is going to be wanting

:32:21. > :32:25.him to be more aggressive, to use the weapons and not be afraid to

:32:26. > :32:28.come forward. All those things but I also believe it's mentally. Paul's

:32:29. > :32:34.been with some of the great champions of all time. Just little

:32:35. > :32:37.things that he can say to him before matches, the night before, even one

:32:38. > :32:45.like Stan Wawrinka, they have doubts and we have seen this, he has doubts

:32:46. > :32:49.on grass. I think Paul in some ways, Magnus was never a grass court

:32:50. > :32:52.player, I think they've brought him in to give extra expertise on this

:32:53. > :32:58.surface. I think it's a very good move. It seems to be the done thing

:32:59. > :33:03.now. You bring in someone, even if it's on a part-time basis, but it is

:33:04. > :33:05.important that it is almost like a sponge, you absorb information that

:33:06. > :33:09.you can get from these players. Absolutely. Again a lot of people

:33:10. > :33:11.don't realise, they see these players and they look calm and you

:33:12. > :33:16.think they don't get nervous. They do. Even the great ones get nervous

:33:17. > :33:20.and to have someone in your camp that's been there and done it as a

:33:21. > :33:23.coach or player adds that extra little dimension, the difference

:33:24. > :33:29.between a couple of points here and there, it can make the difference of

:33:30. > :33:34.winning or losing. Thanks. John has said Lopez the favourite. We have

:33:35. > :33:43.already seen Milos Raonic go out. Andy Murray is next on court and he

:33:44. > :33:47.will be facing Jordan Thompson, not Aljaz Bedene. He is out with an

:33:48. > :33:55.injury. John is on his way now to join Andrew.

:33:56. > :34:06.Sue, thank very much. With all the matches Lopez had in Stuttgart,

:34:07. > :34:11.three 3-set victories those were all in three sets before losing in the

:34:12. > :34:14.final. This match has had matches. He has had wins and has had success.

:34:15. > :34:19.Stan Wawrinka has been having success on the clay but it's nothing

:34:20. > :34:27.like this surface. The first 20, 25 minutes or so are going to be

:34:28. > :34:29.interesting to see if there is a honeymoon period for Wawrinka on

:34:30. > :34:39.this surface. Quite an intriguing match.

:34:40. > :34:42.Temperature is 30 degrees. Well up into the 80s here in west London.

:34:43. > :34:46.Everyone settling in. The third Match of the Day. Murray to come.

:34:47. > :34:56.But a corker coming up here. Maybe.

:34:57. > :35:08.It's almost as though Wawrinka just needs to get a feel for how dominant

:35:09. > :35:14.he could be on this surface. And get comfortable with that and settle

:35:15. > :35:18.into it. Because he does have a powerful first serve. That one

:35:19. > :35:35.coming in at 132mph. He has his Wimbledon whites out

:35:36. > :35:44.already. Some players going for that look, even now. You are allowed to

:35:45. > :35:49.wear coloured clothing here. A tidy start.

:35:50. > :35:59.Somebody like Wawrinka and Lopez, they'll have a new suitcase worth of

:36:00. > :36:07.equipment delivered. New frames. New rackets. Certainly new tensions in

:36:08. > :36:15.the strings for a different surface. Yes, I always strung my rackets

:36:16. > :36:25.looser on grass, just because you would get those mis-hits. Not sure

:36:26. > :36:28.if that's the way most players do. So you thought an off centre hit,

:36:29. > :36:35.you are more likely to get on the grass courts of old, you would

:36:36. > :36:39.prefer a slacker racket? Also because you have so many bad bounces

:36:40. > :36:46.back in the day. You couldn't take a long swing at the ball. By stringing

:36:47. > :36:54.the rackets looser you could get more power with a shorter swing.

:36:55. > :37:02.Wow. 131mph. Up and almost hit the ball girl back there. She will need

:37:03. > :38:04.to pay attention. The return, the chipped return deep

:38:05. > :38:06.was something that Paul was talking about this morning. Nullify your

:38:07. > :38:15.opponent but make it firm. You can't just drop it in the middle of the

:38:16. > :38:17.court. He will have been pleased with what he saw there from

:38:18. > :38:35.Wawrinka. That's really strong. That's a solid

:38:36. > :38:56.return on a grass court. Former coach to Federer, Sampras,

:38:57. > :38:59.Henman. Came out of Tennessee University, quarter-final of

:39:00. > :39:23.Wimbledon that year, 1984. He came as the number one college

:39:24. > :39:29.ranked player, he was a real star, had a fine career himself. He came

:39:30. > :39:35.to Wichita because that was the mecca of college tennis, that was

:39:36. > :39:42.where everyone wanted to go! East coast, West Coast superiority you

:39:43. > :39:45.have got, because you only ever flew over Kansas!

:39:46. > :40:15.It's boiling hot here! 36 degrees. 65 plus 32... This will take all

:40:16. > :40:22.night! Take away the... About 94, something like that, in the sun, of

:40:23. > :40:26.course. Take away the square root of the length of the grass... 97.

:40:27. > :40:33.The car park at the back where they have metal grating on the floor got

:40:34. > :40:40.to 43 degrees yesterday. A nice tan on the net from the

:40:41. > :41:58.reflection, so it's all worth it. Getting the ball very cleanly, both

:41:59. > :42:02.players hitting the ball cleanly. Impressed with Wawrinka so far. No

:42:03. > :42:08.breaks of serve. Andy Murray coming up later. We will look forward to

:42:09. > :42:12.that. We have already seen a shock today really with Kokkinakis beating

:42:13. > :42:18.Milos Raonic. Spare a thought as the temperatures push up to the mid 30s

:42:19. > :42:26.and beyond, for the security gentlemen at the side of the court

:42:27. > :42:28.here, wearing a heavy dark suit. Neatly done up tie. Right to the

:42:29. > :42:56.top. That must be a size 20 I agree, it's quite comfortable,

:42:57. > :43:05.certainly what they're used to. However, the sun is hot. If this

:43:06. > :43:10.match goes into the two-and-a-half, three-hour range, then guys will

:43:11. > :43:19.struggle. Not too much humidity compared to some places they play.

:43:20. > :43:23.Exactly. The grass court tennis I think is more onerous on players in

:43:24. > :43:31.the regard they have to bend their knees more. The ball stays lower. To

:43:32. > :43:39.move properly on this surface you do have to get down. The rallies are so

:43:40. > :43:43.short I don't think we are going to see many guys struggling

:43:44. > :44:07.stamina-wise. Some great news actually for British

:44:08. > :44:19.tennis today, specifically for Liam Brody who had a good result here in

:44:20. > :44:26.the qualifying. He beat an American player in the first round. He is

:44:27. > :44:34.going to get into the draw as a lucky loser.

:44:35. > :44:47.He is going to be playing Jeremy Chardy later on.

:44:48. > :44:55.So Herbert, who was a lucky loser himself, which is the highest ranked

:44:56. > :44:59.person who lost in the final round of qualifying, it's getting to the

:45:00. > :45:03.point now, three lucky losers, so if you won one round in qualifying you

:45:04. > :45:05.were virtually assured a place in the main draw, as it turns out.

:45:06. > :45:21.Anyway, Brody is in, which is good. We are sitting near that side line,

:45:22. > :45:27.that looked like it was worth a challenge.

:45:28. > :46:01.This is why he is an horrific draw. Wonderful record. Four Davis Cup

:46:02. > :46:07.finals. 13 years in the top 50 consistently.

:46:08. > :46:21.Thank you very much! Two wins on the grass courts in Eastbourne. . So

:46:22. > :46:28.comfortable on the grass. Has had the same coach for a while. Remember

:46:29. > :46:35.that match the final here in 2014 I believe it was, I am certain he had

:46:36. > :46:39.a match point against Dimitrov. Ultimately losing that in three

:46:40. > :47:00.tie-breaks. He also beat raffle Nadal here in

:47:01. > :47:10.2010. So that's the pedestrian Gray. I like it when he holds the finish.

:47:11. > :47:40.A statuesque tennis player. There is a bit of glamour about Lopez.

:47:41. > :47:48.Yeah, he clearly looks after his body very well. Still gets around

:47:49. > :48:32.the court beautifully aged 35. His forehand side is the weakest.

:48:33. > :48:35.Will miss on that side where he can go a whole match without missing on

:48:36. > :48:40.the backhand, as long as he doesn't come over the backhand. It's a

:48:41. > :48:46.sliced backhand which is his strength.

:48:47. > :48:54.So no breaks of serve. Pretty intriguing match. Just under a

:48:55. > :48:59.quarter of April hour played. Round one with Stan Wawrinka 3-2 up on

:49:00. > :49:02.Feliciano Lopez. STUDIO: We will be back with this

:49:03. > :49:10.match. A couple of results to bring you. A big upset here, Thanasi

:49:11. > :49:14.Kokkinakis has put out Milos Raonic, last year's runner-up. He has had 18

:49:15. > :49:19.months out with a variety of injuries and needed a wildcard to

:49:20. > :49:23.come back. He was such a talented player a couple of years ago. It's

:49:24. > :49:26.great to see him back at his best. Worrying times for Milos Raonic.

:49:27. > :49:31.Finalist here and at Wimbledon. He looked out of sorts. Far too many

:49:32. > :49:35.errors. Well, he may need to play down at Eastbourne to get match

:49:36. > :49:45.play. But this young man, wonderful celebration from him and well

:49:46. > :49:50.deserved. On court number one Julian Benneteau has put out James Ward of

:49:51. > :49:53.Great Britain. Ward took a while away from the tour. He was beaten

:49:54. > :50:00.soundly. It's great to see James back on a tennis court. We wish him

:50:01. > :50:05.well. Just too good, Julian Benneteau today. We are watching

:50:06. > :50:09.Stan Wawrinka at the moment. Andy Murray will be next on court, he

:50:10. > :50:12.will be playing Jordan Thompson because Bedene has been forced to

:50:13. > :50:17.withdraw with a wrist injury. But the defending champion will be on

:50:18. > :50:30.Centre Court this afternoon. A couple of quick results from

:50:31. > :50:41.Edgbaston. Johanna Konta has gone through.

:50:42. > :50:47.Sue, thank you for the round-up and the update. No breaks here. First

:50:48. > :51:27.round match. As we get ready to enjoy Andy Murray

:51:28. > :51:30.after this match, news emerging this morning that he is going to donate

:51:31. > :51:34.his winnings from this championship to the families of the victims of

:51:35. > :51:39.the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy which took place no more than two

:51:40. > :51:44.miles away from here. Good for him. Yeah.

:51:45. > :52:02.First prize here, he has won it five times, first prize is ?350,000.

:52:03. > :52:09.In fact, at the French Open when he finished one of the matches, the

:52:10. > :52:13.first thing he said was about the London Bridge and Borough Market

:52:14. > :52:18.Tower attacks, he was quick to talk about that. He has become a fine

:52:19. > :52:23.spokesman for all these issues, showing he is not just thinking

:52:24. > :52:38.about tennis, it's been good to watch.

:52:39. > :52:48.Lopez is so much more solid off the ground than he ever has been in his

:52:49. > :52:55.career. Aged 35 and he hits the ball better than he ever has. I suppose

:52:56. > :53:01.there's nothing unusual about that. Guys always improve their shots as

:53:02. > :54:41.they go on. The problem becomes just getting to the ball! No doubt.

:54:42. > :54:48.UMPIRE: New balls, please. Somebody has just walked past the commentary

:54:49. > :54:53.box with a whole load of iced coffees. That would be nice,

:54:54. > :55:04.wouldn't it? You are and American, you would like an iced coffee? In

:55:05. > :55:09.fact, they might have been Baileys. Yeah, that makes more sense! It

:55:10. > :55:14.would also be most welcome. A stretchy band there to loosen off

:55:15. > :55:17.the hip flex or perhaps warm the tendon up in the knee? That's

:55:18. > :55:24.unusual to see that being mobilised in the middle of a match, Peter.

:55:25. > :55:35.Yeah, it is. Interesting. He must have some sort of a knee issue.

:55:36. > :55:42.Because it's not the sort of thing that if you have... Tennis players

:55:43. > :55:48.ordinarily do so much strengthening of their quads and hip flexors.

:55:49. > :55:58.Usually if they're having an issue it's that those muscles are too

:55:59. > :56:01.strong, too tight. You really wouldn't want to try to strengthen

:56:02. > :56:22.them more. Towards the end of this first set

:56:23. > :56:23.now. Probably 6,000 people in this wonderful Centre Court at Queen's

:56:24. > :56:40.Club. Yeah six or seven was the capacity

:56:41. > :57:06.here previously. Really difficult serve, isn't it?

:57:07. > :57:12.Lopez is so effective with the slice out wide that if he gets the flat

:57:13. > :57:17.one working up the middle he is virtually unplayable. You almost

:57:18. > :57:20.have to hope that he donates a few missed first serves to have any sort

:57:21. > :57:33.of chance. That's an interesting doubles match

:57:34. > :57:36.going on, so that might account for 1,000 or two people missing from

:57:37. > :58:54.this intriguing first match. A nice adjustment there, Stan

:58:55. > :59:02.Wawrinka had to wait as the ball checked. It was really awkward. An

:59:03. > :59:15.interesting move from Wawrinka because he had Lopez out of the

:59:16. > :59:50.court so far, the Spaniard played a really deft little finesse shot.

:59:51. > :59:58.Just as we were celebrating Liam Brody from Manchester getting into

:59:59. > :00:01.this draw, he is playing Chardy later as a lucky loser. He lost in

:00:02. > :00:05.the qualifying in the second round. He got a lucky loser position into

:00:06. > :00:11.the draw because somebody retired, he was the next highest ranked

:00:12. > :00:17.player to get in. Dan Evans, this calf injury he sustained in the

:00:18. > :00:22.quarter-final of a Challenger Event a couple of weeks ago has kept him

:00:23. > :00:29.out. Took him out last week, as well. So that is a real shame for

:00:30. > :00:36.Dan. He is out of Eastbourne next week. 54th in the world, playing so

:00:37. > :00:47.well. He retired against DustinBrown with that calf injury.

:00:48. > :00:50.Calf injuries are so pesky, they hang around longer than you would

:00:51. > :01:26.ever like. I think he will be looking on

:01:27. > :01:33.contentedly right now. I miss last Wawrinka has maintained a nice calm,

:01:34. > :01:39.and held serve routinely every time. He hasn't got to upset by the fact

:01:40. > :01:47.he's not won a whole lot of return points. That's how you have to be,

:01:48. > :01:58.you have to be very easy going to do well on this surface.

:01:59. > :02:24.There have been 32 points played on the first serve and only three times

:02:25. > :02:43.has the receiver won the point. That was a very tidy game, just when

:02:44. > :02:53.the pressure might have been on, you would have thought. Just one minute,

:02:54. > :02:58.13 aces between these two. So we haven't had any periods of play, and

:02:59. > :03:12.the episodes of play where both have played well together yet, not

:03:13. > :03:18.really. Both just playing well. And what a difference in the pace of

:03:19. > :03:25.play from the first match. They played two sets. These guys have

:03:26. > :03:36.almost played a full set and been on court 28 minutes.

:03:37. > :04:21.That hit the line as well. The rocket goes back, looking to come

:04:22. > :04:32.Wawrinka showing frustration not the ball hit the line once again. So

:04:33. > :04:40.that one checked, and the slice backhand off low -- Lopez skidded

:04:41. > :04:45.through the court, so the Frink are not coming to terms with how the

:04:46. > :04:49.ball is going to come off the court surface. Just wide. I think that

:04:50. > :05:04.might have hit the line. You are not allowed to bed in

:05:05. > :05:46.tennis. -- bet. Lovely settler for Wawrinka as he

:05:47. > :06:03.finds his range on this beautiful single-handed backhand. Looks pretty

:06:04. > :06:44.comfortable. That's not the short low wanted Wawrinka to settle on.

:06:45. > :06:55.Lovely play. Really superb volley, back behind Feliciano Lopez. Left

:06:56. > :07:03.with very few choices after that volley. That is a volley of

:07:04. > :07:22.know-how. Lopez forced him to work for that point.

:07:23. > :07:30.Strangely enough, these to haven't played since 2014, considering Lopez

:07:31. > :07:36.is consistently in the top 35 of the world, Wawrinka in the top five of

:07:37. > :07:41.course. But it is for- to in the head-to-head so they have played six

:07:42. > :07:56.branches. The last encounter was on the grass at Wimbledon in the fourth

:07:57. > :08:03.round. Wawrinka won. Do feel free to get in contact with us. We have

:08:04. > :08:06.Queen's this week, and we have got next week Wimbledon qualifying, as

:08:07. > :08:20.well as Eastbourne tennis, the women's tennis from Eastbourne,

:08:21. > :08:33.you can get in touch with hashtag tennis and we will do our best to

:08:34. > :08:39.give answers. Yes, do our best, fail miserably! Thursday morning there

:08:40. > :08:45.might be some rain around as a cold front comes through. Then Friday,

:08:46. > :08:50.Saturday, Sunday should be perfect for tennis. Temperatures in the

:08:51. > :08:57.mid-20s. Yes, but that cold front is coming and going. It's meant to rain

:08:58. > :08:59.for an hour or so, then see you later, so we might get lucky this

:09:00. > :09:55.week. There is only one place that's

:09:56. > :10:30.going. Take cover! You can see Wawrinka working on this

:10:31. > :10:32.push, chip, shove, whatever it is. Naturally Roger Federer does it

:10:33. > :10:55.better than anyone in the game, I would say.

:10:56. > :11:06.The Lopez forehand does make some errors but it was -- it is the shot

:11:07. > :11:19.he likes to go after more than any other. Very aggressive. Tie-break it

:11:20. > :11:33.is. This was always on the cards, wasn't it? Absolutely, no break

:11:34. > :11:35.points in this first set. 36 minutes played, plenty of aces. High quality

:11:36. > :12:28.tennis, simple as that. It is a heavy second serve. You will

:12:29. > :12:34.see quicker speeds, but that's not everything. It's the way it comes

:12:35. > :12:42.off the surface, sliding. And Wawrinka tried to slice that, rather

:12:43. > :12:45.than just block it back. A far more difficult shot. There you go, there

:12:46. > :13:04.is some speed, 128 out wide. Wawrinka has won 18 out of the 19

:13:05. > :13:24.points when he got his first serve in. Very impressive so far.

:13:25. > :13:28.Just long and Lopez was in the rally, which will have delighted

:13:29. > :13:59.him. That's going to fall wide. Just

:14:00. > :14:06.fought for a moment Wawrinka might have over the backhand, after the

:14:07. > :14:10.slip. Yes, he did really well to recover so quickly. Very strong

:14:11. > :14:44.legs. That has been noted. Prowls around the court sometimes,

:14:45. > :14:53.Lopez. When he moves well, he moves even slower. It's been a first-class

:14:54. > :14:54.professional match in every regard so far, just very little given away

:14:55. > :15:18.by either player. Not quite... That was the moment of

:15:19. > :15:44.inspiration Wawrinka was looking for. As you say, he struck it well.

:15:45. > :16:01.UMPIRE: Mr Wawrinka has three challenges remaining.

:16:02. > :16:07.Now then, how about that? He misses the backhand crosscourt, but now the

:16:08. > :16:38.first double fault of the match. That was an unforced error from

:16:39. > :16:45.Lopez. Exactly right. Second serve, on his more favoured chip backhand,

:16:46. > :16:52.you would expect him to make the -- that most times. It does get just a

:16:53. > :17:05.little tight in these situations. So strong, 116 mph. He was not going

:17:06. > :17:33.to miss that first serve. Superb point. Excellent set of

:17:34. > :17:38.tennis as well. The Spanish are happy. Stand Wawrinka, the number

:17:39. > :17:48.two seed. He will have looked at this draw, known it was difficult,

:17:49. > :17:55.and it is. First set, Lopez. What a point to finish on, and

:17:56. > :17:59.incredible return, and what a shot from Feliciano Lopez. So the number

:18:00. > :18:05.two seed is in trouble out on the Centre Court, but Lopez, who moves

:18:06. > :18:10.so well around the court, wonderful improvisation there, and he is one

:18:11. > :18:14.set up against Stanislas Wawrinka. We have won three times Grand Slam

:18:15. > :18:18.winner on Centre Court at the moment, coming up next another

:18:19. > :18:45.three-time Grand Slam champion... Pities this month.

:18:46. > :19:00.-- it is this man. He starts the defence of his title next up, but

:19:01. > :19:06.not against Aljaz Bedene, he is out because of an injury, he will be up

:19:07. > :19:10.against Jordan Thompson. Not an easy player but it will be interesting to

:19:11. > :19:15.see how Andy looks set on the grass as he starts the defence. Andy

:19:16. > :19:22.practising earlier today, next on Centre Court. A lot of work for the

:19:23. > :19:28.number two seed to do right now. COMMENTATOR: Thank you. Yes, a lucky

:19:29. > :19:37.loser in Acapulco, Jordan Thompson, beating the man we are watching play

:19:38. > :19:42.here, Feliciano Lopez. So the circus that can be this professional tennis

:19:43. > :19:47.game moves to London for this short grass court season but it's a week

:19:48. > :19:50.longer than it used to be, a gap between the French Open and

:19:51. > :19:54.Wimbledon gives some of the stars of the game a chance to recover from

:19:55. > :20:03.their efforts at the French as they prepare for the grass courts of

:20:04. > :20:10.SW19. Before that the Wimbledon qualifying will be televised, next

:20:11. > :20:15.week, that is Monday to Thursday. Also, the Eastbourne women's tennis

:20:16. > :20:20.on BBC television as well before the Championships begin, so there is a

:20:21. > :20:30.lot to look forward to. There is the thermometer here, soaring above 100

:20:31. > :20:35.degrees. Another boiling hot day, in this huge new stand at Queen's Club

:20:36. > :21:23.just serving to increase that sense of pressure.

:21:24. > :21:32.Another of those forehands, keeping his eye on the ball as he did. The

:21:33. > :21:52.last point went over his head. And that is the body serve which he

:21:53. > :21:57.plays for into the right-hander on the left side, so he's got three big

:21:58. > :22:05.serves down the middle on the left side into the body, and out wide.

:22:06. > :22:11.Just to illustrate the accuracy of Feliciano Lopez's serving in the

:22:12. > :22:15.first set, nine aces and no double faults. It is the direction and when

:22:16. > :22:22.you served them that is important. You can see the percentage of

:22:23. > :22:27.unreturned serves. A lot of balls in the green sections. And on the left

:22:28. > :23:57.more, into the body. When these guys are serving as

:23:58. > :24:02.powerfully as they are, it is difficult to get any purchase on the

:24:03. > :24:09.return of serve, so the returns are dropping short and duly pummelled.

:24:10. > :24:20.It doesn't always make the most entertaining tennis. UMPIRE: Mr

:24:21. > :24:25.Wawrinka has challenged the call on the service line. Not seen many

:24:26. > :24:38.rallies so far if I'm honest about it. James Keothavong in the chair.

:24:39. > :25:04.UMPIRE: Mr Wawrinka has two challenges remaining.

:25:05. > :25:20.Probably the best match we have seen on this

:25:21. > :25:53.court, Shapovalov beating Kyle Edmund yesterday.

:25:54. > :26:10.Did that dropping? -- drop in? He made it. Nice shove! Favourite

:26:11. > :26:22.reverse spin to get it back in as well!

:26:23. > :27:52.Unplayable. Wonderful demonstration of serving. Still no breaks. It is

:27:53. > :27:58.one set to Lopez and still in trouble here.

:27:59. > :28:09.SUE BARKER: He certainly is and we have already had one upset today

:28:10. > :28:13.with Milos Raonic, he was beaten by Kokkinakis who has been out with a

:28:14. > :28:21.variety of injuries, but what a come back. What a huge upset, Milos

:28:22. > :28:26.Raonic out. Two tie-breaks here, 7-6, 7-6. Let's hear what he had to

:28:27. > :28:32.say after the match, he spoke to John.

:28:33. > :28:36.How does this affect your preparations for Wimbledon? It is a

:28:37. > :28:40.big frustration and it would have been a lot easier scheduling

:28:41. > :28:45.everything to be here and to have many more matches ahead of me, but

:28:46. > :28:49.that's not the case, but thankfully I go out, I work hard in the gym and

:28:50. > :28:55.on the court and I put in my time. What will you do over the course of

:28:56. > :29:02.the next ten days? A lot of time on court, continuing to get used to it,

:29:03. > :29:08.try to simulate match practice and spent time in the gym.

:29:09. > :29:12.So not going to Eastbourne, he will just try to get as many matches on

:29:13. > :29:22.the practice court as he can, but a big scalp by Kokkinakis, and the

:29:23. > :29:26.number two seed in trouble here. COMMENTATOR: Yes, he is. Hasn't

:29:27. > :29:27.really been troubled on serve, just the one double fault in the

:29:28. > :29:41.tie-break. Andy Murray coming up, as Sue Barker

:29:42. > :29:46.has been telling us. Later, the man who was pressing Milos Raonic for

:29:47. > :30:56.the sixth place world UMPIRE: Mr Wawrinka challenging. The

:30:57. > :31:03.ball was called in. A curious time to challenge. 40-0. . On a close

:31:04. > :31:12.ball like that. That's just throwing one away.

:31:13. > :31:52.What a terrific return of serve. Lopez did well to scramble it back

:31:53. > :32:01.but what was Wawrinka thinking in the follow-up? Thank you very much.

:32:02. > :32:10.Should he have gone down the line? Yes. And should have, at the very

:32:11. > :33:13.least, kept the ball low. To force Lopez to volley up.

:33:14. > :33:24.You know there are easier players to play against if you are not feeling

:33:25. > :33:27.100% after a big French Open run just a week ago, Feliciano Lopez

:33:28. > :33:31.does so many things so well a difficult obstacle to get across, so

:33:32. > :33:36.if Stanislas Wawrinka has anything wrong with him, any niggle at all.

:33:37. > :33:40.And he has been playing with that left knee a bit. Then it'll feel

:33:41. > :33:46.worse playing Lopez and being down a set. Absolutely and if he does have

:33:47. > :33:54.any issue, the fact he will need to bend more on this surface just might

:33:55. > :33:59.exacerbate it. Players tend to get Patelia tendon issues when they come

:34:00. > :34:04.from the clay court to grass because you spend most of the time, just

:34:05. > :34:07.slightly more crouched. You have to use the knees for suspension a bit

:34:08. > :34:11.more, you have to live with it. Venus Williams has had that. In

:34:12. > :34:17.fact, a lot of the women players seem to be injured so much of the

:34:18. > :34:31.time, don't they? Yeah. I don't know why that is.

:34:32. > :34:37.I'm going to call this the poshest sports crowd in the world and ask

:34:38. > :34:43.you if you can name a posher crowd? Nothing wrong with that. I think

:34:44. > :34:48.Monte Carlo country club can compete. I'm sure the entire British

:34:49. > :34:51.summer might compete. Ascot, when lane the likes. -- Henley and the

:34:52. > :35:04.likes. Actually, there are probably some

:35:05. > :35:05.polio events that knock -- polo events that knock this out of the

:35:06. > :35:38.park. What a classic shot. How many of

:35:39. > :36:06.those has he hit over his career? Still looks like he has the appetite

:36:07. > :36:19.for the fight here. He just carved that one. What a

:36:20. > :37:11.beautiful volley. It is quite a late takeback, didn't

:37:12. > :37:13.he? Or he did that time. Sometimes on grass the ball just skids through

:37:14. > :37:30.and catches you out. The alarm bells must be ringing

:37:31. > :37:47.right now. Just slightly overplayed. He went

:37:48. > :37:52.behind Lopez which was the right thing to do. Yes it was a great

:37:53. > :37:57.first serve. Look at the return. Able it get it back to Wawrinka's

:37:58. > :37:58.feet. I don't think he wanted to half-volley that. He certainly

:37:59. > :38:20.wasn't expecting to. Well, over an hour played and that

:38:21. > :40:51.was the first break point. Good effort that. Two break points

:40:52. > :40:55.down, two first serves. He was thinking of letting this go a little

:40:56. > :41:02.bit or taking his foot off the grass, not a bit of it Yeah,

:41:03. > :41:06.sometimes, in smaller events, Stan looks as though he's not totally

:41:07. > :41:14.certain whether he wants to dig real deep. Today, thus far, anyway, it

:41:15. > :41:20.looks as though he does. Thank you. You have ufrp players are ready. --

:41:21. > :41:33.UMPIRE: Thank you, players are ready.

:41:34. > :42:51.Suddenly double faults off the racket of Feliciano Lopez.

:42:52. > :42:58.That's a very nice return. That's firm. He was able it get some body

:42:59. > :43:10.weight behind that and get bite at the other end. Lopez may have played

:43:11. > :43:14.him in with double faults. So, Wawrinka after having pressure on

:43:15. > :43:30.his own serve has two break points of his own.

:43:31. > :43:38.He wouldn't mind having that one back. Yeah, just couldn't quite get

:43:39. > :43:57.out of the way of the ball. It kept sliding into his body.

:43:58. > :44:21.Yeah, he had so much time to hit that ball. It was almost like - wh,

:44:22. > :44:32.wh, what do I do? And he missed it, quite badly, really.

:44:33. > :44:40.On the whole, another stellar serving performance from Lopez. 12

:44:41. > :44:45.aces. Two sets against the world number 3.

:44:46. > :45:00.There we are. And that's 13 and he got out of a difficult situation

:45:01. > :45:05.there, 15-40 down. If you are enjoying in sport and you want to

:45:06. > :45:07.have a go at this and any sort of activity, have a lack at this and

:45:08. > :45:15.see Get inspired is on the BBC Sport

:45:16. > :45:20.website and you can find inspirational stories from people

:45:21. > :45:26.just like you, as well as hints, tips and over 70 practical guides to

:45:27. > :45:33.help you give something a G there is an activity finder to help you find

:45:34. > :45:38.something to try near you. Just get up, get inspired and get active.

:45:39. > :45:44.There you go, do get involved. Have a look at that. In fact, we were

:45:45. > :45:55.talking be mass, really, the BBC team down here with Simon Timpson

:45:56. > :46:00.earlier on the Performance Director of the LTA. He was talking about the

:46:01. > :46:06.decline in population across all different sports. Notably in tennis,

:46:07. > :46:13.37% of people start playing in local parks, tennis for free is a big deal

:46:14. > :46:20.nowadays, the LTA starting up with them, that was started by the

:46:21. > :46:22.comedian, Tony Hawkes, so a real push towards grassroots

:46:23. > :46:27.participation as well as the numbers. Hearing some of the

:46:28. > :46:31.numbers, it is so difficult it get people playing sport now, isn't it?

:46:32. > :46:38.I suppose it is. Which is a shame, of course. Female participation in

:46:39. > :46:43.tennis is down. Judy Murray, OBE, involved in trying to get more girls

:46:44. > :46:46.playing tennis, which is good. You really do have to make effort and

:46:47. > :46:48.you have to make sure that football and rugby don't get them first, some

:46:49. > :47:01.of the best athletes. Are there as many tennis clubs as

:47:02. > :47:31.there used to be? No. Well, that was a bit of a mis-hit

:47:32. > :47:58.from Lopez when the ball was waiting to come back to him, and never did.

:47:59. > :48:06.You see that's a good play for Wawrinka. He moves well at the net.

:48:07. > :48:15.A big, athletic guy. Come in and put your opponent under pressure on this

:48:16. > :48:18.surface. Especially a guy like Lopez, who really isn't that happy

:48:19. > :48:52.hitting over his backhand. Just mis-timed his split step here.

:48:53. > :48:55.Off-balance on the volley. Oh, yeah, you can see he is bothered by that

:48:56. > :49:18.knee, just a little. A comfortable feeling at #30e-30.

:49:19. > :49:42.Take a short ball and pummel it away for a winner.

:49:43. > :49:48.We were also hearing this morning from Alistair Marks. We are grateful

:49:49. > :49:53.to him. He is the director of participation at the LTA. We were

:49:54. > :49:57.talking about the relationship with the LTA and local authorities and

:49:58. > :50:01.what is it in places of crumbling infrastructure, how people start to

:50:02. > :50:06.play in parks and in schools nowadays there is not as much tennis

:50:07. > :50:12.as perhaps there used to be, especially at secondary level.

:50:13. > :50:14.You can stand by for a pretty big announcement, I think probably next

:50:15. > :51:42.week, from the LTA. Stanislas Wawrinka, a wonderful

:51:43. > :51:45.five-set victory over Andy Murray at the French Open, on the clay of

:51:46. > :51:49.Roland Garros and he made the final of the Australian Open, loss to

:51:50. > :51:54.Federer in five sets but such was the quality of the other semifinal

:51:55. > :51:57.there, Nadal and Dimitrov, that one almost overshadowed by two great

:51:58. > :52:01.matches towards the end of the tournament. Obviously the

:52:02. > :52:05.Federer-Nadal time was one of the classics as well but a very fine

:52:06. > :52:09.year. It is back to what you were saying Peter Fleming, about him

:52:10. > :52:14.being a big-time player in big tournaments and styles in the

:52:15. > :52:18.slightly smaller events you wonder if he is engaged. -- and sometimes

:52:19. > :52:25.in the slightly smaller events. I think he is today Interesting event.

:52:26. > :52:32.In slams, Wawrinka is 4-4 against number 1s in the world. Outside of

:52:33. > :52:37.slams he is 0-16. Is that right? So he gets inspired on the bigger

:52:38. > :52:44.stages? Yeah. Not a bad trait. No question about that. When he retires

:52:45. > :52:50.people will say - you were good when it mattered most. He has been

:52:51. > :52:55.Olympic gold medal as well with Federer from Beijing in the doubles.

:52:56. > :53:01.It was when he took nag news Norm on as a coach in Portugal. He lost the

:53:02. > :53:08.first set to Albert Ramos and I thought - this is not going to last

:53:09. > :53:12.long but he won from a set down, won the tournament. Magnus Norm there in

:53:13. > :53:13.the middle. Former number 2. Brilliant player. They have not

:53:14. > :53:25.looked back as a partnership. That you will success coming between

:53:26. > :53:40.the ages of 28-32. What a great coach Magnus Norman is.

:53:41. > :53:49.He had all that success with Soderling, prior to Wawrinka.

:53:50. > :53:57.Soderling a French Open finalist. Yes, if you can coach somebody to a

:53:58. > :54:00.victory over Nadal at the French Open, really a massive achievement.

:54:01. > :54:34.Only two people have achieved it. Terrific half-volley lob, to no

:54:35. > :56:02.avail. Oh-oh. Ordinarily that's one of his

:56:03. > :56:05.favourite second serves, the kicker out wide. Of course, it went into

:56:06. > :57:52.Lopez's forehand. That's quite testing of the knee,

:57:53. > :57:53.isn't it? Pushing off to come low and forward for Wawrinka. Smart

:57:54. > :58:05.play. Yeah, but curious tactic from

:58:06. > :59:03.Wawrinka, again kicking the second serve out to Lopez's forehand. #r

:59:04. > :59:10.5-5, second set and some pressure resisted.

:59:11. > :00:12.As you mentioned earlier, Andrew, it's the first serves that come on

:00:13. > :00:16.to Wawrinka's racket that he needs to put into play more often.

:00:17. > :00:23.Because, of course, he is going to be aced.

:00:24. > :00:28.He doesn't put the ones he can reach back into play. He is just not going

:00:29. > :00:43.to break too often. He is struggling to move, Wawrinka,

:00:44. > :00:50.at the back of the court. Certainly didn't move up well to drop shot in

:00:51. > :01:01.the previous game. This one nowhere near, well inside the court here,

:01:02. > :01:04.Lopez. And that is a frustration for Wawrinka as he sees another one

:01:05. > :01:14.disappear past him, but he's hanging in. Lopez is bringing his form

:01:15. > :01:24.straight onto the grass here. Incidentally the other player to

:01:25. > :01:37.beat Rafael Nadal at the US Open was Novak Djokovic. So two weeks away

:01:38. > :01:42.from the next Grand Slam, Wimbledon. Andy Murray will be defending once

:01:43. > :01:49.again the title he won last year with the victory over Milos Raonic.

:01:50. > :01:54.Andy Murray next on court here. That match eagerly anticipated, the

:01:55. > :01:58.return of arguably Britain's finest sportsmen to this arena where he has

:01:59. > :02:07.enjoyed so much success himself, with five championships, and two

:02:08. > :02:14.Wimbledons and the Olympic gold. And Davis Cup victories as well. He said

:02:15. > :02:16.the other day, I have only got a couple of years left may be at the

:02:17. > :02:26.top, Nick Kyrgios came out straightaway and said "Bluffing!".

:02:27. > :02:31.I'm sure he would love to play another five or six years, but

:02:32. > :02:37.sometimes your body does not obey. And of course on those serial

:02:38. > :02:43.winners enjoyed playing once the skills start to wane, once they

:02:44. > :02:48.start to lose more often. It just becomes no fun at all. So that's the

:02:49. > :02:56.challenge, to see if he can stay fit and healthy for as long as possible.

:02:57. > :03:06.Maybe he can take some lessons from Roger Federer because what a master

:03:07. > :03:07.he is at remaining healthy, seemingly in the best shape of his

:03:08. > :03:36.life. Can you understand why he's hitting

:03:37. > :03:44.that serve so often? And punished on it numerous times.

:03:45. > :03:50.Maybe that heavy weighted slice backhand from Lopez is wearing him

:03:51. > :03:58.down, he's getting chiselled down by that. Like that one. You know you

:03:59. > :04:04.are definitely going to have to play the ball and it's likely to be

:04:05. > :04:10.difficult, against Lopez's backhand side. Two points from defeat here,

:04:11. > :04:27.Wawrinka. That's a great play. And it is a

:04:28. > :04:34.play that we have seen him use over the years on any surface, but it can

:04:35. > :04:49.be very effective on a regular basis against a guy like Lopez.

:04:50. > :04:56.This time Lopez elects to go right at his opponents, and Andy Murray

:04:57. > :05:04.could be on court within 15 minutes or so because that piercing passing

:05:05. > :05:19.shot right at Wawrinka has brought up much point. -- match point.

:05:20. > :05:30.UMPIRE: Game, set and match, Lopez. It is the second big shock on Dave

:05:31. > :05:36.two at the Queen's Club, great fortune for Lopez, and the first

:05:37. > :05:40.break of serve brings the match. The number two seed is out, as well as

:05:41. > :05:45.the number three seed earlier in the day. We thought it was going to be a

:05:46. > :05:52.very difficult proposition for Stanislas Wawrinka, coming into this

:05:53. > :05:56.match with Feliciano Lopez in great form, certainly with great grass

:05:57. > :06:00.court pedigree, and we most certainly were right. Lopez played

:06:01. > :06:05.his part, Wawrinka suffering perhaps a little bit with that neat and in

:06:06. > :06:07.the end it was all about the Spaniard. -- suffering with his

:06:08. > :06:19.knee. That was a good effort from

:06:20. > :06:25.Stanislas Wawrinka. Clearly there is a bit of an issue with his left

:06:26. > :06:34.knee. He was exercising that throughout the course of the match.

:06:35. > :06:40.Tiny margins. It was that net call from Lopez, the chip return that

:06:41. > :06:44.brought the break. He's free to soak up the sunshine and the adulation

:06:45. > :06:48.here and we will have a word with him in just a second. Andy Murray

:06:49. > :06:54.will be going through his final few moments of preparation as he returns

:06:55. > :06:58.to British soil. And what a year of tennis in London he enjoyed last

:06:59. > :07:06.year by winning the ATP Tour finals at the O2, as well as winning this

:07:07. > :07:10.title and the Championships themselves at Wimbledon. So Jordan

:07:11. > :07:17.Thompson, the Australian with the chance of having a go at Andy

:07:18. > :07:23.Murray. So Feliciano Lopez has put out Stanislas Wawrinka. Let's get

:07:24. > :07:27.the Spaniard's thoughts now. He's with John Inverdale.

:07:28. > :07:31.Many congratulations, that was a tremendous performance and you are

:07:32. > :07:36.playing really well at the moment, aren't you? Yes, last week was a

:07:37. > :07:41.great week for me. I reached the finals in Stuttgart. Even though I

:07:42. > :07:46.lost the match, I played well the whole week so I came here with a lot

:07:47. > :07:50.of confidence. Tennis is about confidence and right now I'm playing

:07:51. > :07:55.well. I knew it would be tough against Stanislas because he is one

:07:56. > :07:58.of the greatest players in the world. What is it about tennis

:07:59. > :08:08.players in the men's game at the moment in the mid-30s, they are

:08:09. > :08:13.almost on -- unbeatable. Nearly 40 now! I can be considered one of the

:08:14. > :08:17.oldest guys on the tour right now but I feel healthy and competitive

:08:18. > :08:22.to go for a little bit more. Do you think you are better player now than

:08:23. > :08:26.when you first came here a decade ago? Probably because I know the

:08:27. > :08:31.game better, I read the game better, and I know myself also better. I

:08:32. > :08:36.know the way I have to play and this is something you achieve with the

:08:37. > :08:40.years, playing tennis, and this is something very important. Experience

:08:41. > :08:49.means a lot in the game. You got to the final three years ago, do you

:08:50. > :08:52.think you can replicate that this year and maybe go one better? I hope

:08:53. > :08:54.so, it is one of my favourite tournaments to play in front of this

:08:55. > :08:59.beautiful crowd, it is so special for me. It would be great to reach

:09:00. > :09:03.the final but still a long way to go there. It is great to see you back,

:09:04. > :09:10.congratulations. SUE BARKER: He certainly played a

:09:11. > :09:16.great match. Probably not the way Stanislas would have wanted that to

:09:17. > :09:21.end, not for Feliciano Lopez either, but a win is a win and he played the

:09:22. > :09:25.match so well. A wonderful deft touch, so many wonderful disguised

:09:26. > :09:30.shots, great slice and he really knows his way around the grass

:09:31. > :09:36.courts. No great surprise he has caused another big shock here today.

:09:37. > :09:43.Feliciano Lopez is putting out Stanislas Wawrinka. So it is the

:09:44. > :09:51.second upset of the day because earlier Milos Raonic went out, he

:09:52. > :09:56.was beaten in two tie-breaks by Kokkinakis. He made his way back

:09:57. > :10:00.after injuries, but he was such a talent and it's great to see him

:10:01. > :10:08.back. So many people talking about him as one of the big future stars.

:10:09. > :10:14.So Kokkinakis putting out Milos Raonic, and Luciano Lowe as putting

:10:15. > :10:17.out Stanislas Wawrinka. He loves entertaining and he really did

:10:18. > :10:23.entertain the fans out on Queen's Centre Court today. So we have had

:10:24. > :10:27.two big upsets and will we have a third? Because the next is Andy

:10:28. > :10:33.Murray against Jordan Thompson. First let's reflect on what we have

:10:34. > :10:39.seen. This policy are no Lopez makes the game look so easy, the disguise

:10:40. > :10:44.he puts on shots. When you watch him play in a match like that, we say if

:10:45. > :10:50.grass was consistent through the whole year he would be top ten. This

:10:51. > :10:54.surface is made for him. His serve is a joke how good it is, not as

:10:55. > :10:58.powerful as some of the big hitters but the way he manoeuvres it, and he

:10:59. > :11:04.said in the interview he is serving better, he knows what to do with it.

:11:05. > :11:09.Over the years he has realised it is all about placement and his

:11:10. > :11:14.fantastic on this surface. So effective that serve. Interesting

:11:15. > :11:18.with Wawrinka he was flexing mini but movement seems to be his issue

:11:19. > :11:24.on this surface, it is the only surface he hasn't conquered. I

:11:25. > :11:43.cannot imagine a worse drawer for him, is coming off world-class form

:11:44. > :11:51.last week. Lopez misses nothing. You can see that's where it happened and

:11:52. > :11:54.this is such and forgiving surface -- and unforgiving surface. After

:11:55. > :12:00.playing on the clay, to get down to the ball, you have to spend more

:12:01. > :12:04.time getting down low. It is difficult, whether it is the

:12:05. > :12:08.adjustment to the grass or it accumulated through the clay court

:12:09. > :12:17.season, who knows. Another one we will stick on the train to

:12:18. > :12:22.Eastbourne. Milos said he's not going. Whether you can create a

:12:23. > :12:26.match situation on the practice court... He probably needs a rest

:12:27. > :12:31.more than anything else. We saw his partner in Nottingham last week as

:12:32. > :12:35.well so they've enjoyed some great success. He was committed to playing

:12:36. > :12:48.here, and committed to it when he walked out on court. I love how

:12:49. > :12:53.Feliciano described it as like playing on a carpet! It's wonderful

:12:54. > :12:58.how he can produce so many great shots which are effective on this

:12:59. > :13:06.court. And when you are really good crosscourt player, this into her

:13:07. > :13:15.plenty of time on the ball -- grass court player. He did an ace but it

:13:16. > :13:20.opens up the court and that is brilliant. And how he moves forward

:13:21. > :13:26.all the time, he's always looking to disguise that shot. You cannot read

:13:27. > :13:31.that, can you? He knows when to come in, when players are stretching for

:13:32. > :13:35.the ball, he has that deft drop shot when he needs it. He's just an

:13:36. > :13:45.all-round fabulous grass court player. Uses his game. That is

:13:46. > :13:50.something... Who is this? A lot of people have left the stands to get

:13:51. > :13:55.some shade, they will be coming back now as the applause rings out, Andy

:13:56. > :13:58.Murray coming onslaught against Jordan Thompson of Australia and

:13:59. > :14:06.they will be hoping he studies the ship after these big upsets. We

:14:07. > :14:10.wouldn't mind seeing a good match, Jordan Thompson knows his way around

:14:11. > :14:14.a grass court and can play well so it's not a straightforward match to

:14:15. > :14:19.play, new surface but you are talking about someone who has won

:14:20. > :14:26.Wimbledon two of the last four years. And this tournament just the

:14:27. > :14:32.five times! He steps onto this court so different. It was 2005 when we

:14:33. > :14:37.first saw him, gangly thing, and we think about how his life has altered

:14:38. > :14:44.unchanged over the years and watched his development... How his body has

:14:45. > :14:46.changed the years. Who was such a fledgling, now absolutely the

:14:47. > :14:52.finished article and we should enjoy every minute of him because he's an

:14:53. > :14:58.unbelievable player. As a man, to watch that development from boy to

:14:59. > :15:02.man has been brilliant. He's now a real spokesman. On any issue he will

:15:03. > :15:08.give you an intelligent comment on it now, and that includes this prize

:15:09. > :15:18.money donation. Yes, the Grenfell Tower fund. All of his money going

:15:19. > :15:29.to that. And that could be 350,000. Very good he has done that. And this

:15:30. > :15:33.match... He certainly knows his way around the grass court, and for Andy

:15:34. > :15:37.Murray this is a new opponent because he expected to see Aljaz

:15:38. > :15:46.Bedene of Great Britain who pulled out because of a wrist injury, but

:15:47. > :15:51.this guy has beaten David Ferrer, Jack Sock, and he will not be

:15:52. > :15:54.intimidated. I'm not sure how much Andy Murray knows about his

:15:55. > :15:58.opponent. He will know he's a good player but this is where they will

:15:59. > :16:01.have done the scouting and had to readjust because the game plan would

:16:02. > :16:06.have been for a different player, now they have got to readjust. The

:16:07. > :16:11.thing with Andy Murray is it's what he brings on court, his presence. If

:16:12. > :16:14.you are going to get him in a tournament, today is the day in the

:16:15. > :16:20.first round when he's feeling his way on the grass. I shouldn't say

:16:21. > :16:24.that after the two upsets, we don't want another one, but this is the

:16:25. > :16:30.time to get him because once he gets into his groove, he's majestic. What

:16:31. > :16:37.do we think of the red, white and blue? Sensational. I think the

:16:38. > :16:41.shorts will make it through to Wimbledon. Definitely not

:16:42. > :16:47.predominantly white top but he looks the part in every way. Off the

:16:48. > :16:53.court, we don't always have cameras, but the preparation and totality of

:16:54. > :16:56.it and the thoroughness of it. You don't get to world number one

:16:57. > :17:01.without putting in the work and he demonstrates that every time he

:17:02. > :17:06.walks on court. It is a tough ask to walk on court against him and think

:17:07. > :17:12.you will beat him so it will be intimidating for Jordan Thompson. He

:17:13. > :17:17.came here and won his title, then went on to win Wimbledon. He had an

:17:18. > :17:23.incredible close to the season and finishing as world number ones which

:17:24. > :17:27.is something he always dream about. 2017, it hasn't happened for him. He

:17:28. > :17:33.has had shingles injuries as well and that is why his results haven't

:17:34. > :17:42.really been up to it yet. Yes, runner-up in Doha, the Australian

:17:43. > :17:51.Open he didn't really get anything going there, fourth round. We are

:17:52. > :17:58.used to seeing win, win, win down the right-hand side. He played an

:17:59. > :18:03.excellent match against Stanislas Wawrinka and that was readmission.

:18:04. > :18:08.Because he was unwell, especially when there is a youngster in the

:18:09. > :18:13.house, you do catch everything! Little Sofia, we are not blaming

:18:14. > :18:18.her, but you do change, adjustments happen. A quietly difficult, bumpy

:18:19. > :18:23.six months is now out of the way. You can understand it because of the

:18:24. > :18:26.amount of effort he put in playing every tournament because he had the

:18:27. > :18:35.goal of being world number one and it takes it out of you. Then he goes

:18:36. > :18:41.on and has a really hard training session with Ivan Lendl. It is

:18:42. > :18:46.understandable the body can break down. You won't be the first or the

:18:47. > :18:51.last player who has reached number one and had this great year, and for

:18:52. > :18:55.the next year mentally they are just not... It is not that the hunger is

:18:56. > :19:02.not there but they are physically and mentally tired. The work ethic

:19:03. > :19:08.he put in, it takes its toll, then you throw in the illnesses, which

:19:09. > :19:12.may be came because physically he was not quite 100%, and now he has

:19:13. > :19:17.opened up and the French Open to me was the first time we have seen Andy

:19:18. > :19:24.Murray of last year. That's why I make him the favourite for Wimbledon

:19:25. > :19:28.because he is black to his best, very close to beating Stanislas

:19:29. > :19:34.Wawrinka at the French. His preparation will be perfect and I

:19:35. > :19:42.make him favourite for Wimbledon. He has got a lot of points to defend.

:19:43. > :19:48.When you look at the stats, unbeaten in 14 matches on the grass, unbeaten

:19:49. > :19:53.in 17 matches in London, he can just drive home and he's comfortable

:19:54. > :19:57.here. You know he produces his best. We used to talk about how it was a

:19:58. > :20:02.pressure filled situation for British players to play at home but

:20:03. > :20:06.he's well beyond that and it was the final at Wimbledon where he lost and

:20:07. > :20:12.threw off the yoke I think, when he did the interview with you keep

:20:13. > :20:17.showed that emotion. That was such a big moment, everyone fell in love

:20:18. > :20:24.with him, rightly so. Then he won the Olympic gold and he changed.

:20:25. > :20:29.It's interesting, I'm going to do a documentary and I spoke to Andy, he

:20:30. > :20:34.said after that final at Wimbledon he doubted himself and if he would

:20:35. > :20:38.ever win a Grand Slam. What a reaction to beat Roger Federer on

:20:39. > :20:42.the same court a few weeks later in the Olympics, then go on to win the

:20:43. > :20:48.US Open. It just shows you how much of this game is in the mind. It

:20:49. > :20:53.wasn't great then, it was pretty good! But he had doubts over whether

:20:54. > :21:02.he would win a Grand Slam, then Ivan Lendl came along and helped

:21:03. > :21:07.big-time. He also lost four Grand Slams in a row before he won one so

:21:08. > :21:11.he had been there and done that and I think he was a huge instrument in

:21:12. > :21:16.him getting the monkey off his back and winning the first Grand Slam.

:21:17. > :21:22.Now he thinks he can win any time he wants. Absolutely, a great team he

:21:23. > :21:27.has in place. For Jordan Thompson it is tough to come in and do this but

:21:28. > :21:38.he has proven himself. He has come in as unlucky loser, but he won't be

:21:39. > :21:42.an easy opponent. The first match on grass is always tricky. Anyone in

:21:43. > :21:49.the top 100 in the world knows how to play the game, he has won plenty

:21:50. > :21:57.of challenges as well. Started off well in Australia at the start of

:21:58. > :22:02.the year. He is outmatched here but he might just get inspired. This is

:22:03. > :22:08.a surface he knows about, he can move on this surface. Maybe if he

:22:09. > :22:18.can take a set or make a quick start, as John Lloyd was saying, the

:22:19. > :22:26.opportunity is there. Also, he has beaten Shapovalov, and he put out

:22:27. > :22:31.Kyle Edmund. If you are going to put out a high ranked player, you want

:22:32. > :22:36.to put them out in the first round or two. You never know, Andy might

:22:37. > :22:43.start slowly but I doubt it! John has made his way to the

:22:44. > :22:46.commentary box to join Andrew. COMMENTATOR: A glorious day here,

:22:47. > :22:51.and it might not be the opponent Andy Murray was expecting to face

:22:52. > :22:54.but for many today, and it is just about capacity now, it was never

:22:55. > :23:00.really about the opponent, it is about seeing the Wimbledon, Olympic

:23:01. > :23:05.champion. A real shame for Aljaz Bedene that he couldn't be part of

:23:06. > :23:16.it but a real opportunity for Jordan Thompson now. Just a couple of hours

:23:17. > :23:20.ago, perhaps more than that, he was still a losing qualifier, now a

:23:21. > :23:24.lucky loser facing the champion, going for his sixth title at the

:23:25. > :23:33.Queen's, and it will be for Jordan Thompson to get us going.

:23:34. > :23:40.If there is any time to play Andy Murray, it's already been pointed

:23:41. > :23:42.out it might be in the first round at Queen's, just when he's getting

:23:43. > :24:43.used to things a little bit. You won't see a better defensive lob

:24:44. > :26:37.than that this week, I will tell you right now. Brilliant.

:26:38. > :26:56.So, a settler for Jordan Thompson, up and running here. His coach, says

:26:57. > :27:03.Tyson -- Des Tyson. A decent enough player back in the 1980s. A rather

:27:04. > :28:44.empty support box for Thompson than Andy Murray, who has a full house.

:28:45. > :28:58.Brilliant. I think the theory here from Andy Murray was to hit straight

:28:59. > :29:04.down the middle so his opponent wouldn't get any angle. Well, he

:29:05. > :29:07.found an angle. Excellent passing shot from Thompson. He certainly

:29:08. > :29:18.embracing this, doesn't look nervous at all.

:29:19. > :29:25.Just a couple of wild early ones from Murray, and facing a couple of

:29:26. > :31:08.break points. Excellent technique on that volley.

:31:09. > :31:15.That was a very tough shot. Forehand dipping so low. Not only did he get

:31:16. > :32:23.it well but he managed to redirect it so deep.

:32:24. > :33:33.That's unusual. Didn't really commit to that backhand, middle of the net.

:33:34. > :33:40.He is making heavy weather of this. Another opportunity for Jordon

:33:41. > :33:46.Thompson. Two strange errors from Murray. You don't see that very

:33:47. > :34:11.often. One in the middle of the net and the next, about eight feet long.

:34:12. > :34:20.Frustration for Thompson. A real opportunity on second serves. That

:34:21. > :34:24.is That's a good sign for Murray on the second serve. The previous

:34:25. > :34:28.couple were 80 miles per hour. Pretty slow. That was break point

:34:29. > :35:16.down and he hit it at 99 miles per hour. Good pace.

:35:17. > :35:26.A wild swipe and worry saw it out veriually. -- and Murray saw it out

:35:27. > :35:30.eventually. With you we have seen him before, sometimes he can be a

:35:31. > :35:46.slow start in the grass court season and then he gets better and beaten.

:35:47. > :35:57.He is unbeaten in 17 matches. David O'Leary is quite often here

:35:58. > :36:42.watching. Not sure he's part of Thompson's coaching set up.

:36:43. > :37:05.He settled into things quite quickly, Thompson.

:37:06. > :37:17.Beautifully done. Beautifully done. The young man from Sydney, just

:37:18. > :37:22.feeling something there. A brilliant point. Defended so well there. He

:37:23. > :37:30.saw Murray come in. Dropped it as low as he could, but he still had a

:37:31. > :37:33.lot of work to do and flipped that topspin lob over the back of the

:37:34. > :38:23.ball there. Good disguise. Not that many people has as much

:38:24. > :39:08.grass practice under his feet this season.

:39:09. > :39:39.Up over 130 miles per hour for his first ace.

:39:40. > :39:51.Well-played. Well-played indeed Jordan Thompson, another hold of

:39:52. > :39:56.serve.m you ary just briefly looks a bit exasperated -- Murray. He might

:39:57. > :40:02.not know too much about Jordan Thompson. He we'll fill you in. 90th

:40:03. > :40:17.in the world at the moment. He had a decent run in Brisbane where he

:40:18. > :40:21.reached the quarter-final, and he got through to the second round of

:40:22. > :40:25.the Australian Open where he lost in four sets to Dominic Thiem. We

:40:26. > :40:30.mentioned he played the challenger event in Surbiton a couple of weeks

:40:31. > :40:39.ago and reached the final. He lost to a Japanese player. He beat Dustin

:40:40. > :40:45.Brown on the way. He has games. He is at that level where he is just

:40:46. > :40:49.below getting regular ATP events. He plays a bit of challenger stuff as

:40:50. > :40:53.well. So he is mixing and matching. A level certainly way below Andy

:40:54. > :40:58.miles per houry. Not a bad time to play him. When you come in as a

:40:59. > :41:03.lucky lose anticipate you don't know this morning you are playing, you

:41:04. > :41:07.think - what do I have to lose? Exactly. He is a tidy player. He

:41:08. > :41:10.does everything well. Looking at his ground strokes, not a huge weapon on

:41:11. > :41:18.both sides but he makes a lot of balls. His serve is a good, solid

:41:19. > :41:24.serve. We saw one at 130. He is not afraid to come in. Moves well. He is

:41:25. > :41:27.a solid player. He doesn't look in anyway intimidated by who he's

:41:28. > :41:31.playing which sometimes can be difficult in playing in a stadium

:41:32. > :41:36.like this. He is not used to doing that very often. He has played Davis

:41:37. > :41:41.Cup for Australia, which is pretty intimidating in any sort of arena

:41:42. > :41:43.but he is doing very well so far. Andy Murray just not quite there yet

:41:44. > :42:21.but feeling his way into the match. That's twice now he has done that,

:42:22. > :42:26.which is not a tactic you see many players do against Andy Murray but

:42:27. > :42:28.when an 85 miles per hour serve comes in like that and sort of sits,

:42:29. > :43:57.sits up, why not. Well, the anticipation there and the

:43:58. > :44:09.rally. 37 shots, the longest rally of the

:44:10. > :44:16.match. The longest rally of queences, probably in the history of

:44:17. > :44:17.tennis. On grass. Slightly longer than what we saw in the Raonic

:44:18. > :46:00.Kokkinakis match. Instant challenge from Murray. He

:46:01. > :46:03.thinks this is an ace. At least he hopes it is.

:46:04. > :46:23.UMPIRE: Mr Murray has two challenges remaining. A couple of early double

:46:24. > :47:21.faults from Murray. Another service game that dragged

:47:22. > :49:09.out a little bit longer than he would've liked but it is a hold.

:49:10. > :49:17.UMPIRE: Mr Murray is challenging the call.

:49:18. > :49:25.It might be wide, but, no, straight down the middle.

:49:26. > :49:48.UMPIRE: Mr Murray has one challenge remaining.

:49:49. > :49:54.Well, we just saw Jordan Thompson there rocking back for a moment,

:49:55. > :49:59.decided to try the drop shot but execution not ideal. He does look

:50:00. > :50:15.comfortable and relaxed, Jordan Thompson.

:50:16. > :50:21.So another hold and quite a comfortable one for Jordan Thompson

:50:22. > :50:25.who has settled in very quickly to this match. Murray with a few things

:50:26. > :50:33.to ponder. SUE BARKER: Back with this match in

:50:34. > :50:38.a moment but while the men are playing at the Queen's Club the

:50:39. > :50:46.women are playing at Edgbaston. Fist up the two time winner, Petra

:50:47. > :50:53.Kvitova, who is making her return after being stabbed in the hand by

:50:54. > :51:00.an intruder in her home, she beat Smitkova and Jo Konta is through

:51:01. > :51:03.against Tsurenko. They'll head from Edgbaston next week to the south

:51:04. > :51:08.coast, Eastbourne and you will be able to see live coverage from

:51:09. > :51:13.Monday at 2.00pm on BBC Two. We are watching Britain's number one

:51:14. > :51:22.man on court at the moment. You can hear a programme about Britain's

:51:23. > :51:33.number one woman, Jo Konta. That's called The Real Juania Konta,

:51:34. > :51:43.tonight on 5 Live at 9.00pm. Now back to Spencer.

:51:44. > :51:51.You can't help but impressed by Jordan Thompson the way he has taken

:51:52. > :51:56.to this match. A reminder, in case he needed it, that Julien Benneteau

:51:57. > :52:00.had to full out with a wrist injury, so fairly late and Jordan Thompson

:52:01. > :52:09.would've been hanging around as lucky loser. Now the celeb spotting

:52:10. > :52:10.continues at Queen's Club. That is, somewhere in there, Kevin Spicy,

:52:11. > :53:02.under the hat. Well, he has improsed himself,

:53:03. > :53:03.Murray. -- imposed himself. Pinpoint accuracy there from Murray from both

:53:04. > :53:23.the backhand and the forehand side. Well Thompson wants to see the ball.

:53:24. > :53:58.It looked to have clipped the line and swinging away from him.

:53:59. > :55:16.A good deal of variety from Jordan Thompson as well.

:55:17. > :55:23.Ivan Lendl back with Andy miles per houry. Touring with him. He spends

:55:24. > :55:28.about 18 weeks of year with Murray. -- Andy Murray. He was back for the

:55:29. > :55:34.French. Was supposed to be with him in Miami but Murray had to pull out

:55:35. > :55:38.with a right elbow injury. So by no means a permanent fixture but they

:55:39. > :55:52.talk a couple of times a week on the phone.

:55:53. > :57:04.Saw nothing of the ball, so asked the question.

:57:05. > :57:13.Good rally again. Jordan Thompson is hanging in with him in these

:57:14. > :57:33.rallies. That's a nice view, isn't it? A lot of cameras there.

:57:34. > :57:58.Well a hold to love for Jordan Thompson. You would say he looks the

:57:59. > :58:08.better player at the moment, fractionally. Goodness me a few

:58:09. > :58:16.beers have been tucked away there. Not in the ultra--professional

:58:17. > :58:19.coaches' box. You will see Ivan Lendl and Jamie Delgado

:58:20. > :58:25.alonghoodside him there and his trainer. Delgado is with him all the

:58:26. > :58:30.time and Lendl appears for the big occasions, the grass court season

:58:31. > :58:34.and there is a lot of speculation between Murray's success and whether

:58:35. > :58:38.Lendl is actually on site. Murray says - well, it's not that important

:58:39. > :58:42.but people look at the results and wonder if he would do better if

:58:43. > :58:48.Lendl was there all the time? That's never going to happen, though? No,

:58:49. > :58:52.we could certainly say Lendl is a good reason why Murray won his Grand

:58:53. > :58:57.Slams at the beginning, to get him over that hump. He is an important

:58:58. > :59:04.part of the team but Jamie Delgado has come in well and Andy Murray, he

:59:05. > :59:09.knows what he has to do now. He has a good team around him, physios,

:59:10. > :59:12.trainers and so on and it is just ticking over and to bring it in

:59:13. > :59:23.sometime, now and then. As I say, we were talking about this

:59:24. > :59:29.earlier with Milos Raonic, the higher up the game you go, the

:59:30. > :59:35.bigger your support team because you can afford to have the very best and

:59:36. > :59:43.have a large team travelling with you. Yes. And that will make a big,

:59:44. > :59:50.big difference as well. But Murray serving. New balls. We are just

:59:51. > :59:52.waiting at the moment for a few near the commentary box here to sit down,

:59:53. > :00:04.settle, settle, settle. Murray still waits. Right behind

:00:05. > :00:19.Jordan Thompson. A comedy run does not get you out of

:00:20. > :01:30.it. Well, it almost did. Andy Murray is ready. New balls. 3-4.

:01:31. > :01:36.Tough shot to make, very shrewd shot for Murray, just dropping that slice

:01:37. > :02:03.backhand well enough. -- low enough. Better from the world number one, a

:02:04. > :02:08.hold to love. It had been an interesting season to say the least

:02:09. > :02:11.up to the French Open, a worrying lack of form on the clay court but

:02:12. > :02:43.he definitely found something at Roland Garros.

:02:44. > :02:50.The wild mis-hit return there from Murray.

:02:51. > :02:54.Here is the interesting point, at 4-4, where the best players in the

:02:55. > :03:33.world just find something. Or not. That error there. It was a

:03:34. > :04:02.very makeable forehand, slapped the top of the net.

:04:03. > :04:07.If Thompson's level dips at all, Murray will pounce. This was a

:04:08. > :05:07.slight miscue. He closed that one out very

:05:08. > :05:15.impressively. Look to be stumbling slightly, Jordan Thompson. Again, a

:05:16. > :05:20.reminder of the season Murray had, we talked about his dip in form to

:05:21. > :05:26.say the least. He won in Dubai in February beating the dust go, but

:05:27. > :05:32.the list of players who lost to in the clay court season, as we do our

:05:33. > :05:39.very best to lip read, Dominik team, Alberto Ramos, but not just on the

:05:40. > :05:48.clay, he lost in Indian Wells. It's almost as if, and again they were

:05:49. > :05:55.talking about this in the studio beforehand, when he reached number

:05:56. > :05:58.one in the world and won the Olympic gold, to follow that up is

:05:59. > :06:08.difficult. There is not much break in the calendar year. Then you have

:06:09. > :06:13.got put in a training block to get ready for the Australian Open. It

:06:14. > :06:18.comes around quick, and when you put the sort of intensity and work Andy

:06:19. > :06:22.Murray did, and the success week after week, reaching most of the

:06:23. > :06:27.finals, it takes its toll and I just think combined with the illness, the

:06:28. > :06:32.injury, it was a natural reaction and wasn't that surprising, but I

:06:33. > :06:36.think he has now planned his year well. Losing some of those matches

:06:37. > :06:41.earlier than he hoped, I think he's actually well rested now and the

:06:42. > :06:45.French was a fabulous event for him. That was when he was back to his

:06:46. > :06:49.best, good preparation for the grass when you have such a good run on

:06:50. > :07:19.clay, it gives you a lot of matches in the tank.

:07:20. > :07:26.You can see there Thompson wanted to hit that and come in. His doormat

:07:27. > :07:40.couple of times but the second serve was deep enough that he couldn't

:07:41. > :07:46.convert the approach shot. You can see Murray trying to lift himself,

:07:47. > :08:27.it is a familiar sight sometimes when he feels he's just not firing.

:08:28. > :08:38.A little bounce off his legs. As crew will try to lift him as well.

:08:39. > :08:43.Not a huge amount of energy in the crowd, you are not going to ride off

:08:44. > :08:49.the back of that, you have to generate something yourself. Find

:08:50. > :09:03.people though they are. I think a lot of them have got sunstroke! Not

:09:04. > :09:29.much energy. Correction from the umpire and the line judge.

:09:30. > :09:40.He is serving well too, 70% of first serves in now. When he gets his

:09:41. > :09:42.first serve in, he has won 17 out of 22 points. Against someone like

:09:43. > :11:04.Murray, that is very good. -- not a smile of joy at the moment

:11:05. > :12:26.from Andy Murray. Thompson moves on. At the very least

:12:27. > :12:31.a tie-break to him, and Murray gave a long look to his box after that

:12:32. > :12:37.one. It just shows the standard of tennis these days on the men's side,

:12:38. > :12:43.the women's is strong, but when you think that Thompson is a lucky loser

:12:44. > :12:48.coming up against the number one in the world. Not intimidated by whom

:12:49. > :12:52.he is playing. He is coming out and showing the variety in his game,

:12:53. > :13:02.taking Andy Murray on. He's not scared, he has been coming in behind

:13:03. > :13:06.Andy Murray's serve sometimes. It's an impressive performance. I wonder

:13:07. > :13:11.how many hours before the match he knew he would be playing, whether he

:13:12. > :13:19.had heard rumours about Aljaz Bedene or not, whether he was surprised by

:13:20. > :13:25.coming into this match. Yet -- yes, we found out about midday. He has

:13:26. > :13:29.never been beyond a second round of the Grand Slam event, that is the

:13:30. > :13:35.level he's out, still fairly young at 23. But it shows the strength and

:13:36. > :13:59.depth in tennis. You contrast that with Andy Murray's

:14:00. > :14:02.Grand Slam level. It is in itself an astonishing record consistency at

:14:03. > :14:22.the highest level. It is cooling now. Hot enough.

:14:23. > :14:26.When I think about it a little bit more, it is probably the same

:14:27. > :15:23.thermometer but the sun has moved. Jordan Thompson has had some good

:15:24. > :16:19.rallies in this match. He senses an opportunity now. A

:16:20. > :16:40.couple of points away from this first set.

:16:41. > :16:52.What a backhand that was. From Jordan Thompson, it was a heck of a

:16:53. > :17:09.return he hit. This return was excellent.

:17:10. > :17:12.Jordan Thompson willing that to be wide. I think he's going to

:17:13. > :18:01.challenge. No? No. Really extended. That backhand, who

:18:02. > :18:03.was high, a little bit of balance but managed to redirect it so well

:18:04. > :18:41.down the line. Again, that backhand to the corner

:18:42. > :19:18.pays dividends for Murray. It is tie-break time. UMPIRE: Each

:19:19. > :19:28.player receives one additional challenge. What does Murray need to

:19:29. > :19:33.improve? I don't think he's playing badly, just a little bit

:19:34. > :19:38.inconsistent. His shot selection has been off at times. Not quite bearing

:19:39. > :19:42.down enough, a little bit distracted at times but I think you will be

:19:43. > :19:46.surprised at how well his opponent is playing as well. These days

:19:47. > :19:54.there's not many easy matches on the tour.

:19:55. > :20:06.A confident start to the tie-break. He would like to get his first serve

:20:07. > :20:08.percentage up a little bit higher, 53% now. He would like that in the

:20:09. > :21:12.60s. Thompson's mistake. A cry of

:21:13. > :22:01.encouragement from Murray. The first double fault of the match

:22:02. > :22:12.for Jordan Thompson. At rather in opportune moment.

:22:13. > :22:31.See how quick he got in after that serve, he was way outside the

:22:32. > :22:59.service box when he hit that volley. Murray can do it as well. Time for a

:23:00. > :24:13.chat with the coaching box. Just wide. So Thompson with the

:24:14. > :24:18.advantage. Sloppy shot there. His footwork was all wrong, it was the

:24:19. > :24:23.wrong shot anyway but his balance was not right. He is not 100% of the

:24:24. > :24:28.moment I don't think mentally, as well as the way he's hitting the

:24:29. > :24:32.ball. Seems to give cheap points away in the tie-breaker. He needs to

:24:33. > :25:23.get his mind back pretty quick now. Another very impressive serve and it

:25:24. > :25:24.brings Jordan Thompson, the lucky loser, the late replacement for

:25:25. > :26:34.Aljaz Bedene, to three set points. John Thompson has it now, Murray

:26:35. > :26:37.falters again and the world number one, the defending champion, the

:26:38. > :26:42.five-time champion up against it here in the first round at Queen's.

:26:43. > :26:52.Isn't this man taking his chance well. Well, to say that was a

:26:53. > :26:57.surprise is an understatement. I did not see that happening at all, but

:26:58. > :27:02.you have to give credit to Jordan Thompson here. He has come out on

:27:03. > :27:07.court, came as a lucky loser, not intimidated at all by playing the

:27:08. > :27:13.number one in the world. He has served and volleyed, mixed it up,

:27:14. > :27:19.come in behind Murray's serve. Mixed it up with him from the back, drop

:27:20. > :27:25.shots, hasn't seen faced at all by this occasion. He's loving it in

:27:26. > :27:30.other words, which is great to see someone, out and loving it. Murray

:27:31. > :27:36.is not at the races mentally. That tie-break was not characteristic of

:27:37. > :27:41.the way he plays. He played three or four very cheap shots, giveaway

:27:42. > :27:48.errors. It is quite often the statistic we go to with Murray the

:27:49. > :27:53.first serve. If he is down in the 50s, he will struggle a little bit

:27:54. > :28:05.more. When he's in the 60s, he's a very hard man to beat. Less winners,

:28:06. > :28:18.we weren't expecting that. Jordan has handled his serve so well.

:28:19. > :28:23.That's what I'm surprised that. Thompson has a good serve and has

:28:24. > :28:27.very it well today. We were talking about Jordan Thompson going in with

:28:28. > :28:37.nothing to lose, there comes a point in the match when you think, crikey,

:28:38. > :28:43.I could win. We should just concentrate on David O'Leary eating

:28:44. > :28:48.a Magnum at the moment, or perhaps just a supermarket own brand ice

:28:49. > :28:57.cream. I want one of those. But anyway, the man in front of David

:28:58. > :29:02.O'Leary is a very happy coach at the moment, Des Tyson, the coach of

:29:03. > :29:05.Jordan Thompson. It is a dream for a coach. They had a game plan, and his

:29:06. > :30:32.pupil has perfected it so far. Thompson just living with Murray and

:30:33. > :32:12.hanging with him and drawing out the mistake.

:32:13. > :32:21.Well applause. Jordan Thompson thought he had that point. I have

:32:22. > :32:26.seen it so often from Murray. Look to be on the ropes then returns to

:32:27. > :32:32.www. Avengeance and takes the first game of the second set. Let's look

:32:33. > :32:38.at the way Jordan Thompson has been playing, some of his serve placement

:32:39. > :32:43.He is going out for the wings. He is not serving any to the body which

:32:44. > :32:48.you would expect him a little bit but his serve is very strong. A high

:32:49. > :32:52.percentage of first serves. He backs it up. You can see with the one-two

:32:53. > :32:56.strike he goes out to the wings and hardly any balls down the middle. He

:32:57. > :33:00.is going for big shots out to the backhandside and forehand where he

:33:01. > :33:04.is taking advantage of the high percentage first serve and getting

:33:05. > :33:33.ahead in the rally, right afterwards on the first ball.

:33:34. > :33:44.Well, put away over head backhand. Made it look so easy. It's not so

:33:45. > :33:49.easy there to snap that ball shoulder high, like he does on this

:33:50. > :34:30.backhand. He got a really good wrist snap on that one.

:34:31. > :35:03.Oh, Murray a little bit lucky there. Lucky that the net call went over,

:35:04. > :35:09.firstly. That wasn't a very good forehand. He mis-hit it from this

:35:10. > :35:14.position here. He can't be missing those type of shots. He is annoyed

:35:15. > :35:23.at the net calls. That's two or three. Not a single break point in

:35:24. > :36:32.the first set, Murray and now he has three of them.

:36:33. > :36:45.I can't believe that. He really should have made one of those

:36:46. > :36:50.forehand returns 40-0 and 40-15 was on to both and missed them. That

:36:51. > :36:53.forehand was wild. This to me is all sort of mental. He is not quite

:36:54. > :37:27.focussed in at the moment. Again, from 0-40, Jordan Thompson.

:37:28. > :37:29.There has been a couple of mistakes from Murray but he has responded

:37:30. > :38:07.very well. Come on, come on. That's what you

:38:08. > :38:10.like to hear when he does that. That's the positive verbal stuff

:38:11. > :38:15.where he is trying to get himself going. It's the negative stuff that

:38:16. > :38:19.sort of pulls him down a bit. But when he's like that, getting charged

:38:20. > :38:48.up, that's normally when he starts playing his best tennis.

:38:49. > :38:53.Far, far too many - most of the errors are coming off the forehand

:38:54. > :39:42.side. And so it is. What a hold that is

:39:43. > :40:11.from Jordan Thompson, having faced three break points.

:40:12. > :42:44.Lets others do the actual cheering. Sits there, unmoved.

:42:45. > :42:52.Well, another game in the bag but Murray continues to flatter to

:42:53. > :42:57.receive the occasional good stuff. A few wayward ones as well. It's far

:42:58. > :43:01.from convincing at the moment. No, there are a couple of points and you

:43:02. > :43:06.think - OK, now he's really focussed back and then all of a sudden he

:43:07. > :43:11.plays a sloppy point and starts getting negative and he gees himself

:43:12. > :43:19.up. It's almost like he is batting himself a little bit today. Now he

:43:20. > :43:25.looks almost - flat. That's not the right word but almost not quite

:43:26. > :43:29.there. Sometimes, you know, somehow, as his ex-coach Brad Gilbert used to

:43:30. > :43:34.say - you win ugly and sometimes you have to get through. He is by no

:43:35. > :43:38.means playing his best but having said, that his opponent is making

:43:39. > :43:42.life very difficult. He is playing superbly.

:43:43. > :43:51.The winner of this one will play either Cameron Norrie, the wildcard

:43:52. > :43:56.or more likely Sam Querrey who has taken the first set in their match.

:43:57. > :44:09.Sam Querrey, even if Murray were to get through and then it ramps up,

:44:10. > :44:13.you look at poliers the calibre of Querrey and Tsonga and beyond. But

:44:14. > :44:15.sometimes he does that. He loses a set or two and then just gathers

:44:16. > :44:38.momentum. UMPIRE: Be seated quickly, the

:44:39. > :45:32.players are ready. Just a bit of a pause for the late comers.

:45:33. > :45:38.Just stretching out. There was a little bit of Dash few slips. Is it

:45:39. > :46:37.something? No, just felt something. Again, a fairly robust service game

:46:38. > :46:40.from Jordan Thompson. Not too impressive from Murray and just

:46:41. > :46:51.feeling his groin a little bit as well. I notice that Roger Federer no

:46:52. > :46:58.signs of him coming back, after resting out the clay court season.

:46:59. > :47:30.He has beaten a Japanese player in Halle.

:47:31. > :47:37.And Federer will be chomping at the bit, raring to go, because the men's

:47:38. > :47:43.singles in Wimbledon this year are pretty open. I agree. Nadal is

:47:44. > :47:49.playing pretty well but he doesn't do so well as Wimbledon. And

:47:50. > :48:00.Djokovic, not the man he was. Murray, who knows?

:48:01. > :48:08.If gets through this match, I think they'll be spending some time

:48:09. > :48:39.working on the forehand today. The forehand has been awful.

:48:40. > :48:50.Oh, outstanding. Outstanding. He surprised even himself there!

:48:51. > :48:56.The ball was behind him. That is classy. For a moment it was almost a

:48:57. > :49:14.double hit here. Bu just beautiful. They are not just missing, they are

:49:15. > :49:30.going out by miles. I hope you don't think we're

:49:31. > :49:33.focussing on negative play. Thompson has played well but Murray is

:49:34. > :50:10.certainly out of sorts. Facing a break point.

:50:11. > :50:19.It's long. The break is there for Thompson and Murray is a set down

:50:20. > :50:26.and a break down to Jordan Thompson and really up against it now.

:50:27. > :50:37.Well, didn't see this coming at all. Yes, Murray's certainly not playing

:50:38. > :50:41.his best by any means but you have to give a lot of credit for Jordan

:50:42. > :50:46.Thompson there, his game plan - he's staying with Murray in these

:50:47. > :50:50.rallies. He is moving so well. Murray is moving him side-to-side.

:50:51. > :50:57.He is chipping him back and when he gets the chance, he is not afraid to

:50:58. > :51:04.come in. Putting pressure on Murray the whole time Serve has been very

:51:05. > :51:12.good today. A superb performance so far but still a long way to go yet.

:51:13. > :51:18.And all the thoughts racing through his head. Making the transition from

:51:19. > :51:22.the guy, lucky loser - I'll give this a go and now he is thinking -

:51:23. > :51:27.well, I'm on the cusp of something really special here. There's still a

:51:28. > :51:31.long way to go, 3-2 and in matter how Murray is playing, he is still

:51:32. > :51:34.one of the very best returners in the game. So to see it out from here

:51:35. > :51:44.is still a tall order indeed. Now the crowd will come to life a

:51:45. > :51:49.little bit and try enencourage Murray. It's been a quiet afternoon,

:51:50. > :51:55.early evening here at the Queen's Club. But there's been gasps and

:51:56. > :52:01.murmurs around court when Murray was broken there. Because they realise -

:52:02. > :52:05.this is quite serious now. Jordan Thompson, lucky loser, late

:52:06. > :52:20.replacement, is a set-up and a break-up.

:52:21. > :52:25.I mean, you see how far that was out? He has no feel on that side.

:52:26. > :52:46.The forehand side. Jordan top of son will somehow have

:52:47. > :53:07.to control the adrenaline coursing around now.

:53:08. > :53:15.Beautifully done. Beautiful play by Jordan Thompson. I wonder if he

:53:16. > :53:20.might be able to back up that break and so far this service game,

:53:21. > :53:26.flawless. World class. Again keeping with Murray the whole time. Good

:53:27. > :53:30.depth. Very good approach shot. This was not an easy volley. Look at the

:53:31. > :53:35.way he took the speed off there. Just dropped it short. A hold to

:53:36. > :53:38.love after that break of serve. That's as good as it gets from

:53:39. > :53:50.Jordan Thompson. A few hopeful cries around Centre

:53:51. > :54:36.Court of -- come on Andy! And again, again, again on the

:54:37. > :54:41.forehand. Just looks like he's got no confidence on that side and

:54:42. > :54:43.Jordan Thompson is going at that side a will the with those slices.

:54:44. > :56:00.Keeping it low. And Thompson here saw this, knew

:56:01. > :56:02.that Murray was going to come in and just punched that ball low and this

:56:03. > :56:53.is a very difficult shot. Snr no, he has called it out. What

:56:54. > :56:58.play from Jordan Thompson. So Murray will challenge. But what play. Oh,

:56:59. > :57:13.no wonder he is breathing like that. And it is wide. Oh. So, now, Andy

:57:14. > :57:31.Murray facing two break points. To be a double break down.

:57:32. > :58:20.The defiant cry from Murray, trying to clamber out of this hole. Two

:58:21. > :59:06.breaks and it would near enough be over.

:59:07. > :59:15.That's the best trio of forehands we have seen for a long while from Andy

:59:16. > :59:50.Murray there. And boy does he need it.

:59:51. > :59:59.A smile at the silliness of it all. His own form. It's deserted him a

:00:00. > :00:13.little bit today. And again, that forehand fails and

:00:14. > :00:31.Thompson will have another chance. And it's taken a situation like this

:00:32. > :00:40.to bring the crowd to light here at the Queen's Club. . It's surprising,

:00:41. > :00:42.he looks at times, tired. Now they shout. Murray facing break point

:00:43. > :01:23.again. And this one, wide as well. Thompson

:01:24. > :01:31.has it, two breaks to the good in the second set and Murray so close

:01:32. > :01:41.to an early farewell. Now can he find his way back from this. -- how

:01:42. > :01:44.can he find his way back from this? Quite an extraordinary match that

:01:45. > :01:53.Jordan Thompson is playing here. He is hardly missing. Just pushing

:01:54. > :02:03.Murray over and over again in these rallies. Let's look at one of the

:02:04. > :02:12.points in there that really got us going from Jordan Thompson, has been

:02:13. > :02:22.so, so impressive throughout. This rather summed up his play, his

:02:23. > :02:28.attitude. SUE BARKER: Wellheading here for a

:02:29. > :02:32.real shock at the Queen's' club, we're going stay here with the

:02:33. > :02:42.tennis. Eggheads will follow the tennis.

:02:43. > :02:48.If you are coming in and switching on, and expected Julien Benneteau.

:02:49. > :02:54.It was a late change, Benneteau it was supposed to be an all-British

:02:55. > :02:58.affair but Benneteau with a wrist injury, and this man, the world

:02:59. > :03:03.number 90 took his place, he last flost qualifying but a lucky loser

:03:04. > :03:17.and taking full advantage at the moment of his good fortune.

:03:18. > :03:20.Serving now for a victory over the world number 1, the defending

:03:21. > :03:52.champion. And with all the signs we have seen

:03:53. > :03:58.so far from Jordan Thompson, when he has had a little bit of pressure on

:03:59. > :03:59.in the match, he has risen to the occasion. Just felt the greatest

:04:00. > :04:03.pressure. He would not be human, Jordan

:04:04. > :05:15.Thompson if he were not tight now. That was a bit tight on that

:05:16. > :06:01.forehand. It'll take us to matchpoint, which

:06:02. > :06:03.it is. And Jordan Thompson so close now to the greatest win of his

:06:04. > :06:20.career. And he does it with an ace! What a

:06:21. > :06:27.win for Jordan Thompson, but what a shock. One of the greatest upsets

:06:28. > :06:35.Queen's has seen. Five times champion, the world number one, the

:06:36. > :06:39.Wimbledon champion, the Olympic champion, and it's gone. And the

:06:40. > :06:49.hands of Jordan Thompson, the lucky loser, world number 90... What a

:06:50. > :06:54.shock for the crowd. And what a shock for Andy Murray. This is not

:06:55. > :07:07.how it was supposed to be, not how his summer of tennis was supposed to

:07:08. > :07:20.begin. Stunning. The crowd applauds Jordan Thompson, and rightly so.

:07:21. > :07:25.And now the muttering and the gasps and the chat afterwards around this

:07:26. > :07:38.court and Jordan Thompson I'm sure can't believe it. You can see in his

:07:39. > :07:49.face that he can't believe it. A reminder again, he came here via the

:07:50. > :07:54.Netherlands, where he lost, and played the Challenger Event the week

:07:55. > :07:58.before that. Didn't know until this morning that he was going to be

:07:59. > :08:05.playing today, and that's how you take an opportunity. What a victory

:08:06. > :08:09.for Jordan Thompson, but what a shock that Andy Murray is gone so

:08:10. > :08:13.let's get the thoughts of the winner, Jordan Thompson talking to

:08:14. > :08:18.John Inverdale. Jordan, many congratulations. You

:08:19. > :08:24.are not enormously popular here but I'm sure you don't care about that.

:08:25. > :08:29.Is it the biggest win of your career? Definitely, Andy is world

:08:30. > :08:34.number one, I have looked up to him so to play him on Centre Court at

:08:35. > :08:39.Queen's is definitely the biggest win of my career. When you walked on

:08:40. > :08:46.court today, did you walk on thinking I will be happy with four

:08:47. > :08:49.on four or I will be happy taking down the world number one? I

:08:50. > :08:55.certainly didn't expect to win in straight sets, but I wanted to stay

:08:56. > :08:58.calm and I did that pretty well. You lost in qualifying so you probably

:08:59. > :09:04.thought you would go and do some shopping in London for a while.

:09:05. > :09:08.Where you literally hanging around Queen's when somebody said there is

:09:09. > :09:14.an injury and you are in? I was hoping to get a game. I was always

:09:15. > :09:19.coming in, going to try and sign in and here I am, I got in the jaw so

:09:20. > :09:24.lucky. And when you heard you were playing Andy, what were your

:09:25. > :09:31.immediate thoughts? I don't know if I can say that. What a great day for

:09:32. > :09:40.Australian tennis because two upsets... And all Aussie final

:09:41. > :09:44.perhaps? I don't know that, after today's performance anything can

:09:45. > :09:48.happen but I'm not counting on it. It was a fantastic performance and

:09:49. > :09:58.many congratulations. SUE BARKER: What a huge upset, but

:09:59. > :10:01.take nothing away from this man. He think he will re-evaluate the

:10:02. > :10:05.biggest win of his career because today he has put out the world

:10:06. > :10:10.number one, the biggest shock we have seen at these championships for

:10:11. > :10:15.many years. He has played the match of his life and Andy Murray has a

:10:16. > :10:19.lot of soul-searching to do. The forehand particularly wasn't working

:10:20. > :10:23.for him today, just error after error, Jordan and his team

:10:24. > :10:29.celebrating that victory on Centre Court. What a huge shock we have had

:10:30. > :10:42.today, we have lost the number three seed, Milos Raonic, Stanislas

:10:43. > :10:45.Wawrinka, and now this man has put out the world number one, Andy

:10:46. > :10:46.Murray. What a day we have had on the second day of the Aegon

:10:47. > :10:50.Championships. Just say coming up at 6:30pm we will

:10:51. > :10:56.have a chat at that and look back at some of the big so eggheads will

:10:57. > :11:00.follow in about 20 minutes. Peter, we were watching this and you just

:11:01. > :11:05.kept thinking will Andy find his way into the match and it just didn't

:11:06. > :11:11.happen for him. So often in the five years he has won this tournament, he

:11:12. > :11:15.has come out in his first match and not played well. Just looked unsure

:11:16. > :11:24.of himself, and somehow managed to squeeze through. But today it was

:11:25. > :11:28.almost shocking how he fell away in the second set. I don't know if he

:11:29. > :11:43.was physically feeling not well or whatever. He hit the drop shot about

:11:44. > :11:48.a foot wide, it was a terrible shot. It's almost started reeling from

:11:49. > :11:53.there. It's almost like that forehand. We have never seen him

:11:54. > :11:58.play beforehand as badly as he did today. I can't remember, it has been

:11:59. > :12:04.many years. The forehand always used to be his weaker shot. It has

:12:05. > :12:10.improved and now it is a huge weapon. I have never seen him make

:12:11. > :12:16.that many errors. He was missing them sometimes by miles. It was

:12:17. > :12:22.just... I have never... He was really playing off the backhand. On

:12:23. > :12:26.the grass he tends to be more proactive. But when things are going

:12:27. > :12:33.wrong it is so difficult to try to find a way. Huge expectation on him.

:12:34. > :12:52.Exactly. Clearly being the world number one and now having to defend

:12:53. > :12:53.all of these points from tournaments he won last year. Think about it, he

:12:54. > :12:54.won nine tournaments from May until the end of the year. He has a lot of

:12:55. > :13:03.points to defend and he has got to figure out a way to block that out.

:13:04. > :13:04.As you said, he wasn't aggressive. He looked very under par. I don't

:13:05. > :13:09.know if anything is wrong but he never really got himself fired up.

:13:10. > :13:15.You have to say well done to Jordan Thompson. What a match he made Andy

:13:16. > :13:20.Murray play so many balls. Sometimes you look at these players and say

:13:21. > :13:25.how come the ranking be so low? If you look at his game, where was his

:13:26. > :13:31.weakness today? His variation was so good, and big serves. His speed

:13:32. > :13:38.around the baseline on the way he moved, he stayed so low to get back

:13:39. > :13:44.these sliced balls. That punch shot. He was not afraid to come in and

:13:45. > :13:49.rush Murray. It's like every part of his game was working and I thought

:13:50. > :13:56.it was a superb performance. A low percentage of first serves in for

:13:57. > :14:03.Andy, way less than he would have... And first serve points won,

:14:04. > :14:07.Thompson's is so much higher. He had the break points, but wasn't able to

:14:08. > :14:14.win any of them and you forgot to win those points. Yes, what Thompson

:14:15. > :14:21.did so well is chase balls down, and forcing... He made very few unforced

:14:22. > :14:27.errors so he actually forced Murray to try to win the points. Andy,

:14:28. > :14:34.after a few unforced errors, really just didn't want to do it. We have

:14:35. > :14:37.just picked out a few of the shots. Look how well he moves on the court

:14:38. > :14:42.but this is what we have seen so many times in this first week on the

:14:43. > :14:47.grass. The players who have played on the grass, and he has a couple of

:14:48. > :14:52.tournaments behind him, just move so much more confident and you can see

:14:53. > :14:57.Murray wasn't confident in his movement today. I agree, he looked

:14:58. > :15:03.unsure. He wasn't springing off the court and getting the low ones. He

:15:04. > :15:09.looked off-balance a lot, he was all over the place. This goes my theory

:15:10. > :15:15.that with the extra week's practice on grass, we would see less upsets.

:15:16. > :15:19.We lost three today, it just shows if you place on tournaments on it

:15:20. > :15:23.you have that confidence, and Andy today was looking at his box as

:15:24. > :15:28.well, getting very negative the whole time. It was a poor

:15:29. > :15:36.performance by his standards really. There was no physical presence out

:15:37. > :15:37.there. I am the number one in the world, you are not beating me. It's

:15:38. > :15:42.almost like he knew his fate was coming after he lost the first set.

:15:43. > :15:58.No. Just didn't. The French Open, dating back, the good five setter.

:15:59. > :16:06.Has commentary on the marchers, I won, but played garbage. But

:16:07. > :16:12.compared to results earleir in the year... Was coming through those

:16:13. > :16:17.marchers, was not able to against Wawrinka but Wawrinka had played an

:16:18. > :16:24.unbelievable match. Exactly. I think that we all thought maybe he did not

:16:25. > :16:29.play the best in Paris, but getting to the semi finals has got to give

:16:30. > :16:36.him confidence. Where is he now? Clearly, does not feel good hitting

:16:37. > :16:42.the tennis ball. Scary thing. That is what he has been great that,

:16:43. > :16:49.throughout his career. We had this debate, when Raonic went out, would

:16:50. > :16:56.he go to Eastbourne? Wawrinka, no. I do not think Murray will? What do

:16:57. > :17:00.you think Lendl wants? I think the bottom line, it is about him any

:17:01. > :17:05.matches you have had under your belt. The semifinals of the French

:17:06. > :17:11.Open, plenty of matches. He does not need to. It is just a question of

:17:12. > :17:16.getting this correct, the movement, and I think he is going to be

:17:17. > :17:21.absolutely fine. No reason to panic. He has got another couple of weeks,

:17:22. > :17:25.but you worry about the mental side. Going to be on the practice court,

:17:26. > :17:31.drilling himself, getting right mentally. But it is one thing to do

:17:32. > :17:38.that on the practice court. The biggest worry, we do not get to moan

:17:39. > :17:47.about him for the next five days! He'll be home, chilling! We'll miss

:17:48. > :17:55.him! What you want to be out, we're matches? Of course. But he has lost

:17:56. > :18:02.here, early before, done well at Wimbledon. I am pretty certain about

:18:03. > :18:08.that. That is the goal again. It seems to be the case, even Rafael

:18:09. > :18:16.Nadal when he pulled out of Queens, the said I feel awful. It does sort

:18:17. > :18:24.of that springboard. Definitely. No doubt this is hurting preparation.

:18:25. > :18:29.For all three... This is the worst thing that could have happened. You

:18:30. > :18:34.have got the long break without any matches. Andy Murray has done this

:18:35. > :18:39.before. You have got to be lucky to have a bad draw at Wimbledon, first

:18:40. > :18:43.round, threaten you across the best of five sets. Three is different.

:18:44. > :19:00.This guy was ranked 90. 80, 90 can't play on this surface.

:19:01. > :19:04.He is one who can. But even with Andy Murray undercooked, it is not

:19:05. > :19:13.going to be dangerous. Totally different competition. First Monday,

:19:14. > :19:20.walking out... It is different from Queens club. Yes. And we are

:19:21. > :19:25.assuming that Andy Murray will be that Andy Murray that we usually see

:19:26. > :19:29.at Wimbledon. We are going to take a look at the draw in just a moment.

:19:30. > :19:44.We have been talking about Andy Murray going out. Not the only big

:19:45. > :19:52.name to exit. Restarted with Kokkinakis who put out Raonic. Two

:19:53. > :19:59.tie break sets. Incredible story. Such a good talent when he got onto

:20:00. > :20:07.the scene. Almost every part of his body has been aching. But you would

:20:08. > :20:16.not have known that today. Tremendous performance. What did

:20:17. > :20:20.Raonic have to say? The nature of the beast? Some things are going to

:20:21. > :20:25.go against you? You try to accept these things as well as you can.

:20:26. > :20:29.Just deal with it as best as you can. Try to put it behind you. Try

:20:30. > :20:37.to learn from that and be better. How much of an irritant is this, in

:20:38. > :20:42.terms of preparation for Wimbledon? In the bigger picture, not really.

:20:43. > :20:46.Today, it is a frustration, and obviously it would have been easy

:20:47. > :20:50.scheduling everything if I was going to be here, having many more matches

:20:51. > :20:57.ahead of me. That is not the case. But thankfully, I work hard in the

:20:58. > :21:02.gym, on court, put in time. What are you going to do over the course of

:21:03. > :21:08.the next ten days? It is going to be a lot of time on court, get used to

:21:09. > :21:15.grass. Imitating match practice. Spend time in the gym. Get sharper

:21:16. > :21:22.physically. After that, another name crashing out. Lopez was just too

:21:23. > :21:29.good for Wawrinka, the runner-up at the French Open. He was the better

:21:30. > :21:33.player on court. Lopez, fresh from the final at Stuttgart last week.

:21:34. > :21:38.Looking at home on the grass. Always dangerous year, the former finalist.

:21:39. > :21:43.Wawrinka does not have a great record year. He has talked about he

:21:44. > :21:50.does not like the movement on the grass court. Settlement, also had

:21:51. > :21:54.that niggling knee injury. Wawrinka also heading to the practice courts,

:21:55. > :22:01.Lopez going to the second-rate. That amazed moment. We can hear from

:22:02. > :22:11.Stan. With everything that goes by, does losing get easier to deal with?

:22:12. > :22:18.John McEnroe hates it! It is the opposite. It is getting worse with

:22:19. > :22:25.age. I am older, and on the tour... It is never easy to lose. In terms

:22:26. > :22:31.of your plans, US and that you would probably be here until Friday, what

:22:32. > :22:38.do you do for the next ten days? Rearrange the schedule? When I

:22:39. > :22:43.arrived here, I never expected that I would be here for one week. I was

:22:44. > :22:49.just going to try my best, play as well as I could. But what is going

:22:50. > :22:58.to happen, now, I have just finished so it is going to be tough to think

:22:59. > :23:03.about that. Especially after losing. I will meet with my team. We will

:23:04. > :23:07.think a bit. Everybody is going to see what they think about the plans.

:23:08. > :23:13.I am going to need to spend a lot of time on the practice courts, grass

:23:14. > :23:17.courts, getting used to that and getting ready for Wimbledon. We need

:23:18. > :23:23.to do that. I am going to spend a lot of time on that, but not getting

:23:24. > :23:26.tired. Anybody who watched the French Open must have thought that

:23:27. > :23:30.you were physically and mentally almost exhausted. It was an

:23:31. > :23:35.extraordinary fortnight. How difficult to suddenly make the

:23:36. > :23:40.transition from that, the emotional high and maybe low, getting back to

:23:41. > :23:47.the routine, another competition, just getting on with that? It was a

:23:48. > :24:00.Grand Slam. And when I went so far, making the final, it was tough but I

:24:01. > :24:04.was low in energy. Dead, mentally, physically. I needed a few days to

:24:05. > :24:10.relax. But at the same time, Wimbledon is coming, Queens, and I

:24:11. > :24:14.have got so much time to get ready so you just need to push yourself.

:24:15. > :24:22.We decided to come over one day earlier this year to get the best

:24:23. > :24:27.preparation for Queens. I came early with my team. It was not enough for

:24:28. > :24:32.today but hopefully it can pay off for the rest. We will see you at

:24:33. > :24:40.Wimbledon. Peter, you did that match. How was that knee injury

:24:41. > :24:48.affecting his movement? He was not happy, to be staying low. On grass,

:24:49. > :24:52.you have to get down. Bounces are lower. And it looked as though he is

:24:53. > :24:58.probably going to need two, three days off. Probably not much more

:24:59. > :25:08.than that. It did hamper him a little. But again, Lopez was a very

:25:09. > :25:12.difficult first round draw. I do not think Stan is going to be that

:25:13. > :25:20.crushed, losing today. Set back, but... I think he can pull himself

:25:21. > :25:24.together. Against Lopez, we sort of suspected the opposite, but as far

:25:25. > :25:32.as Raonic is concerned, that is a big shock. I could not say that one

:25:33. > :25:35.coming at all. Raonic was not sharp. That was always going to happen.

:25:36. > :25:48.Returns of serve, poor. Not taking any of his chances. He was looking

:25:49. > :25:57.rusty on grass. And he has that sort of player. Not a natural mover, he

:25:58. > :26:05.has only got to break serve once and then it is sick over. He is going to

:26:06. > :26:11.be fine at Wimbledon. It is interesting, Wawrinka out in round

:26:12. > :26:22.one. Roger Federer won over in Halle. One more, top four. Seeded in

:26:23. > :26:30.the top four. Avoiding the big players to the quarterfinals. We

:26:31. > :26:35.have lost some of the seeds today. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga find Dimitrov

:26:36. > :26:45.will be happy. But still so many good players. Isner. Cilic. Still

:26:46. > :26:52.some big players? Absolutely. So many good players. We talk about the

:26:53. > :27:00.big four. Parity is becoming a greater issue. So many guys play

:27:01. > :27:10.great tennis. I do not know who is going to win, Simon, Muller, tough

:27:11. > :27:21.for Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Dimitrov on center Court tomorrow. Mahut

:27:22. > :27:26.possibly playing next round. You have got Tomas Berdych, nobody ever

:27:27. > :27:32.talks about him. Former finalist at Wimbledon. He is going to fancy his

:27:33. > :27:35.chances. A lot of very good players. Absolutely. That is the draw. We

:27:36. > :27:43.will be back tomorrow, for day three. Just a little bit later on

:27:44. > :27:48.ABC two. Also on the red button, from 12 o'clock. Final thoughts,

:27:49. > :27:58.about Andy Murray? He has just gotten pick himself up? Class grass

:27:59. > :28:04.court player. Bad day. Rest, back to business. I think he will be fine

:28:05. > :28:10.for Wimbledon. No need to panic. Thank you. Still more tennis!

:28:11. > :28:21.Believe it or not, but it is on the red button. Cilic against Isner, met

:28:22. > :28:28.in 2015 at Wimbledon, 12-10 in the fifth! It could be another late

:28:29. > :28:37.finish. Peter, you're in the chair. What a date has been. We lost the

:28:38. > :28:40.three seed, Raonic, two, Wawrinka, and then the biggest shock of all,

:28:41. > :28:53.Andy Murray is out. Bye bye.
