:44:32. > :44:35.the Centre Court. The first perhaps Well it has been something of a
:44:36. > :44:41.tradition that we have had champions on the roof, live on the
:44:41. > :44:44.programme, and this year is no exception. So, Novak Djokovic, many,
:44:44. > :44:47.many congratulations, Thank you. You spent the last several hours
:44:47. > :44:51.talking about the game, and you are board with talking about it but I
:44:51. > :44:56.am going to ask you one more time. How does it feel? It feels
:44:56. > :45:01.fantastic. It is hard to find the words to describe the feeling,
:45:01. > :45:08.especially the moment when I took the trophy in my hands. I felt like
:45:08. > :45:14.a little boy holding his favour roit -- favourite toy. I had a
:45:14. > :45:18.taste of grass. How did it taste. Really good. A little dry?
:45:18. > :45:22.tasted like real grass but a champion feel. It would be more
:45:22. > :45:25.moist at the start of the fortnight. They say the hardest point to win
:45:25. > :45:29.is the last point so when you were there, with one point from victory,
:45:29. > :45:34.what were you thinking that the point? Can you focus still? Well,
:45:34. > :45:39.look, you know, I have played two amazing sets against Rafa, and then
:45:40. > :45:43.I dropped my focus a bit. I got relaxed and I got him back to the
:45:43. > :45:47.match. It was really crucial for me to hold serves in the beginning of
:45:47. > :45:51.the fourth set and try to put pressure on his service games. I
:45:51. > :45:56.played great. I was emotionally calm in the moments I needed to be.
:45:56. > :46:01.I took my chance, I was trying to take my thoughts back to the
:46:02. > :46:05.matches we had in those four consecutives in the finals. I was
:46:05. > :46:10.aware I never won against him in the best of five. There is no
:46:10. > :46:15.better way to win this Wimbledon title than beating the player who
:46:15. > :46:19.hasn't lost here in the last three years. Boris was at the fight last
:46:19. > :46:24.night. In the commentary box we said it was like hey and Klitschko.
:46:24. > :46:30.He wasn't in it. You were Klitschko. Have you played a better set than
:46:30. > :46:34.that, do you think on grass, ever? No. Honly the no. It has been the
:46:34. > :46:39.best match on a grass court I have played. Came in the right moment.
:46:39. > :46:43.We spoke to your country's Foreign Minister, after the match. He said
:46:43. > :46:49.it was the greatest day in Serbia's history, he couldn't almost put
:46:49. > :46:54.into words what it meant for people back home. How conscious are you of
:46:54. > :46:58.being the ambassador role you play for your country? Well, I am not
:46:58. > :47:03.fully aware of what is going on back in the country, but I hope
:47:03. > :47:08.definitely that people are celebrating the success, like their
:47:08. > :47:10.success, the country's success, because I really would like to
:47:11. > :47:16.experience the nice celebration time tomorrow. I will be there, so
:47:16. > :47:20.I will see what is going on. But I am very proud to be able to have
:47:20. > :47:23.the position obviously to have the responsibility of representing my
:47:23. > :47:27.country in the best possible way. And you are world number one, and
:47:27. > :47:33.you are Wimbledon champion. You said on court it has been a good
:47:33. > :47:36.two days at the office. How do you wind down for a bit now? It is the
:47:36. > :47:39.rollercoaster. It is the US Open and the Australian open, then the
:47:39. > :47:44.French and then we are back here next year. How do you take time
:47:44. > :47:50.out? I need to take some time off. I need to enjoy the success I have,
:47:50. > :47:55.and it has been more than a good two days at the office. It has been
:47:55. > :47:59.an incredible 12 months for now. Now off for some deserved rest and
:47:59. > :48:04.coming back for more. I am still very young. I want to win Wimbledon
:48:04. > :48:09.more times. I want to win more Grand Slams. I have other goals.
:48:09. > :48:16.You have this extraordinary record, one defeat. Can you put your finger
:48:16. > :48:20.on what has changed for you in the last 12 months? Well, I have
:48:20. > :48:26.improved by a small percentage, serve and a couple of other shots
:48:26. > :48:30.in my game. But generally I just mentally, I am more stable, and I
:48:30. > :48:36.have more self-belief when I play the big guys, and in a major event
:48:36. > :48:44.I know what do on the court. Great. I look at you and the big question
:48:44. > :48:50.mark I had about your winning was your movement p I thought which
:48:50. > :48:53.match I feel comfortable enough to win? I had ups and down, and I had
:48:53. > :48:57.the matchs for example against Bernard Tomic where I didn't feel
:48:57. > :49:02.great. After the first set, I didn't like his style of the game,
:49:02. > :49:05.that day, I was making a lot of errors and I was more pushing the
:49:05. > :49:10.ball back into play rather than hitting it and going for winners.
:49:11. > :49:17.But you know, I overcome those match, and I guess, on the road to
:49:17. > :49:23.the title, you get some downs as well. Since when you have Rafa's
:49:23. > :49:27.personal mobile? You own him at the moment. You are the only one in
:49:27. > :49:31.years to do real damage to him. When threver is a baseline rally. I
:49:31. > :49:37.don't feel you threatened. You are not under pressure and Rafa is the
:49:37. > :49:42.first one that loses patience. How do you do it? Well, you know, in
:49:42. > :49:46.the past couple of years I played so many times against Rafa and
:49:46. > :49:50.Roger, that they made me a better player. That is the whole
:49:50. > :49:55.explanation. I needed to improve in order to win against the guy, to
:49:55. > :49:59.achieve the goals of winning, winning Wimbledon, with them it is
:49:59. > :50:03.difficult, because they have been so dominant, but you know, I know
:50:03. > :50:08.that I have an aggressive style of the game. I am a baseline player,
:50:08. > :50:12.but I just find the right way to play against him. I guess mentally,
:50:12. > :50:17.you do have a little advantage if you are winning match after match
:50:17. > :50:20.against your main rival. One final point if I may. A couple of years
:50:20. > :50:26.ago Roger Federer was sitting in that seat and he was talking about
:50:26. > :50:31.how when he was a teenager whizz badly behaved and smashing racquets.
:50:31. > :50:34.He realised he had to change if he was going to become the champion
:50:34. > :50:39.do that now. The point I was going to make two or three years ago, you
:50:39. > :50:43.were the joker, you were the guy who was doing impressions and
:50:43. > :50:46.clearly somebody said to you, or maybe you said to yourself I have
:50:46. > :50:51.to become, if you like more straight, more focused, more
:50:51. > :50:54.determined, and you have done it., So is that, is it just, if you like,
:50:54. > :50:58.the result of hard work and absolute concentration that has put
:50:58. > :51:04.you where you are now? Dedication to the sport. I agree with you, you
:51:04. > :51:08.know, there has been moments, you know, where I was paying more a--
:51:08. > :51:13.attention to other things than on the court. Look, you know, I was
:51:13. > :51:18.young, I am still very young. I have been learning throughout the
:51:18. > :51:21.year, playing on the highest level in men's tennis, put a lot of hard
:51:21. > :51:27.work, a lot of hours on the court and now it is paying off. I really
:51:27. > :51:31.want to be a champion, and I really want to, you know maintain this
:51:31. > :51:36.great run. And last thing, does winning Wimbledon feel as good as
:51:36. > :51:41.you always imagine it would do? will figure that out after, after
:51:41. > :51:45.sleeping over tonight or not sleeping over. Dipend. Just have a
:51:45. > :51:54.fantastic evening. Thank you for joining us. Novak Djokovic is

:53:25. > :53:31.edged out another Brit, Oliver Top seeds in the ladies wheelchair
:53:31. > :53:37.doubles Esther Vergeer and Sharon Walraven retained their title. They
:53:37. > :53:45.kept their nerve, to win 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 and have now won the last five
:53:45. > :53:54.Grand Slam events. It is a dangerous job being a line judge
:53:54. > :53:58.sometimes. But, no harm down done. There was a Dutch double as Maikel
:53:58. > :54:07.Scheffers and ving vung got the best of Michael Jeremiasz and
:54:07. > :54:13.Stephane Houdet. The top seeds from the Netherlands winning 7-5, 6-2.
:54:13. > :54:21.They say you never lose it. For a fleeting moment 1997 Martina Hingis
:54:21. > :54:24.did. But the Swiss miss regained her composure to partner Lindsay
:54:24. > :54:28.Davenport against Jana Novotna and Martina Navratilova. Between them
:54:28. > :54:33.they had won 31 titles. It was Hingis and Davenport who prevailed
:54:33. > :54:38.in front of a full house on court 18. Part of the BBC team and still
:54:38. > :54:43.a champion. So, it is all over. And from a male tennis point of view,
:54:43. > :54:48.where is the balance of power now? It is Djokovic and Nadal there, and
:54:48. > :54:53.Federer and Murray one notch down or where? At that very moment I
:54:53. > :54:57.would put Djokovic ahead. This is a historic moment in tennis. We have
:54:57. > :55:01.a new number one and he happens to win his first Wimbledon. Blief many
:55:01. > :55:06.more to come. So we will remember this day of the day that Novak
:55:06. > :55:12.Djokovic, he came to stop. I would agree with Boris, a guy who goes 48
:55:12. > :55:19.win, one lost, lost a match to Federer in the semis of the French
:55:19. > :55:23.and dis mantled Nadal. There is a change in power. Djokovic has won.
:55:23. > :55:27.Nadal below and Federer and Murray three and four. It is a great time
:55:27. > :55:31.in tennis. It is the last chance to discuss this. If you could offer
:55:31. > :55:35.one piece of advice to Andy Murray, he is heading off to America now,
:55:35. > :55:41.to, well, who knows, the US Open could well be his great moment, but
:55:41. > :55:46.how does he go from there? What does he need to do? Just to replay
:55:46. > :55:50.of the first set-and-a-half against Nadal. That was the winning recipe.
:55:50. > :55:54.It has to be become second nature. He has to play like that all the
:55:54. > :55:58.time. He has played the best I have seen him play. You have to continue
:55:58. > :56:02.doing it. I agree. Stay with the team he has now. His coach is
:56:02. > :56:06.excellent. They have only worked with him for six weeks and they
:56:06. > :56:10.made a massive change. Imagine in a year's time if he stays on that
:56:10. > :56:15.path. He will be able to play two three sets like that. Do it every
:56:15. > :56:22.match. That is the only way you are going to beat these guys. And your
:56:22. > :56:28.take on the championship as a whole? There were so many memory,
:56:28. > :56:37.great ladies matches on the first day. What is the, what is her name?
:56:37. > :56:42.Give me a clue? Venus Williams against Date-Krumm. That was the
:56:42. > :56:46.best match. Djokovic, he has been my biggest story today. For me on
:56:47. > :56:52.the women's Kvitova. Thank God we have a new lady's star. A lefty.
:56:52. > :56:57.Can play from the back of court. Why do you like a lefty server?
:56:57. > :57:01.me that is exciting and Djokovic the new emergence of possibly a guy
:57:01. > :57:05.who could dominate this game for a while It has been a great fortnight.
:57:05. > :57:08.The party is over, here it is probably only starting in Belgrade.
:57:09. > :57:13.Thank you for your company over the last 13've nince. It is probably
:57:13. > :57:23.fair to say this remains one of the great sporting celebrations each
:57:23. > :57:23.
