:00:11. > :00:21.I tell you what, if Andy Murray wins Wimbledon, he will get a
:00:21. > :00:26.
:00:26. > :00:31.knighthood. Eventually! Nice to see him. Andy Murray samples the wilds
:00:31. > :00:36.of number one court. The Generation Game. Venus facing a 40-year-old
:00:36. > :00:46.opponent. And strictly the best. Rafa proving why he is the world
:00:46. > :00:49.
:00:49. > :00:52.And this was the kind of day that the Wimbledon roof was invented for,
:00:52. > :00:56.rain prevented any kind of play until mid afternoon but we started
:00:56. > :01:01.on time on Centre Court and we got the best match of the Championship
:01:01. > :01:04.so far. We will show you that in a few moments time. However, by the
:01:04. > :01:08.nature of the rain having come. It mean there's is a lot of action
:01:08. > :01:12.happening on many courts at the moment, so if you want to press the
:01:12. > :01:15.red button you know what happens after that. There is a lot don
:01:15. > :01:20.dense into 40 minutes or so in the company of Lindsay Davenport and
:01:20. > :01:22.Boris Becker. Not least, we will Boris Becker. Not least, we will
:01:22. > :01:27.talk about the progress of Andy Murray. He in the first round had
:01:27. > :01:34.given a new meaning to the phrase 15-0. Having lost the first set he
:01:34. > :01:38.reeled off 15 games in a row to see off his Spanish opponent. Playing
:01:38. > :01:43.some sublime tennis. And that put him in pretty good shape for his
:01:43. > :01:48.second round match today, against his German opponent, Tobias Kamke.
:01:48. > :01:53.Boris, you saw this game. Murray won it in straight set, and it was
:01:53. > :01:58.pretty much routine wasn't it. much so. Andy started off with
:01:58. > :02:04.breaking the ser man serve, and it was pretty much down hill for
:02:04. > :02:08.Germany from then on. He won the second set 16. He struggled a bit.
:02:08. > :02:11.He mentioned later on his footwork He mentioned later on his footwork
:02:11. > :02:16.wasn't that good. Playing on Court One was different to Centre Court.
:02:16. > :02:19.The wind and the conditions are very differentlet but he served as
:02:19. > :02:23.good as he has been serving this year. At the end of the day it was
:02:23. > :02:26.an average day for him tat office. What was your take on Murray.
:02:26. > :02:30.thought it was a good match for him to get through in straight sets. He
:02:30. > :02:34.played the one poor set in his opening round. Six sets in a row
:02:34. > :02:39.and this is the kind of match he wanted. He was able to hit a lot of
:02:39. > :02:43.shots. Able to find his game. More importantly able to get on the
:02:43. > :02:47.court. A nifty opponent. Kamke played very well. This wasn't a
:02:47. > :02:50.Patsy opponent. But there is this great debate about do you want to
:02:50. > :02:55.really tough game at the started, to get you into the Championship,
:02:55. > :03:05.or are you better off winning straight sets and progressing
:03:05. > :03:22.
:03:22. > :03:27.easily? Ideally you want Todd to be It is great for mur Troy fete
:03:27. > :03:33.through in straight sets. Every time he does the press gets on him
:03:33. > :03:37.so much. He will be happy to get through in straight sets. So he was
:03:37. > :03:44.second match on number one and he came and went and conquered. This
:03:44. > :03:50.is what he thought about it? Congratulations, another win, give
:03:50. > :03:55.us your match report please. started well. Need some work, it
:03:55. > :04:00.was tricky, windy out there, he was hitting the ball very hard and flat.
:04:00. > :04:03.So touf get into a rhythm. That was very important, I need to hit the
:04:03. > :04:08.ball better from the back in the next round. When you say the rest
:04:08. > :04:13.of the game needs work, what do you mean specifically? I need to use my
:04:13. > :04:17.legs grert the back of the court. I felt like me legs were, it was up
:04:17. > :04:23.right on the court. I need to be more intense and my feet get in the
:04:23. > :04:28.right position, took the ball, especially when it was windy like
:04:28. > :04:33.today. That is going to have to get better, that will help my ground
:04:33. > :04:37.strokes. How did you find Court One. I know in the later stages the sun
:04:37. > :04:40.appeared to be in yoir your eye and it is a rare visit in this part of
:04:40. > :04:45.the world. It is different with the roof now. You know, even when the
:04:45. > :04:49.rooch is open it feels enclosed, Court One is very open, so the
:04:49. > :04:53.sun's a bit more of a factor, at the end it was sort of like coming
:04:53. > :04:59.right into the eyes, I was struggling, a bit, both of us, both
:04:59. > :05:02.of us were, it was nice, different, different court is always fun.
:05:03. > :05:06.us keep the British theme going by focusing on the three women. Anne
:05:06. > :05:11.Keothavong is currently playing on Court Number One, against Petra
:05:11. > :05:15.Kvitova. Who got to the semifinal last year. And she has lost the
:05:15. > :05:19.first set Anne and is a break of serve down at the start of the
:05:19. > :05:22.second set. But Anne has got to the second round on a couple of
:05:22. > :05:29.occasions here in the past. We will talk about two young women who are
:05:29. > :05:36.the future of the game, who today were looking for their first ever
:05:36. > :05:40.senior single victory at the Championships. For the brightest
:05:40. > :05:49.new hope Heather Watson, at 19 se has talent to burn and ambition to
:05:49. > :05:53.match. Since I was little when I first had my tennis lesson I told
:05:53. > :05:59.my parents I wanted to be number one in the world and win a Grand
:05:59. > :06:03.Slam. Heather has shot into the world's top 100 after winning her
:06:03. > :06:08.first Grand Slam match at the French Open last month. Wimbledon I
:06:08. > :06:14.will take match by match. I have had good results last year, go in
:06:14. > :06:19.confident to my first round, see how it goes. She knew she was in
:06:19. > :06:23.for a battle, saving seven points to make it one all in the first set.
:06:23. > :06:29.But the British number two found her range and the next level to
:06:29. > :06:33.take the opener in impressive style, 6-2. However, cruel luck came in in
:06:33. > :06:38.the second set. Watson served and injured her arm and needed to be
:06:38. > :06:42.strapped up to continue. She can't straighten the arm at all. It is
:06:42. > :06:47.really hurting her on the hip point. With restrictions the damaged arm
:06:47. > :06:52.put her on the back foot and she lost the second set, in pain and a
:06:53. > :07:01.well of tearful ru frustration, what could she muster in the
:07:01. > :07:06.decider? Super. Again off the backhand side. All left arm. Guts
:07:06. > :07:15.for certain as she kept on digging deep to level matters at 4-4 with
:07:15. > :07:21.no small amount of splendour. Brilliant. Watson saved three match
:07:21. > :07:25.point, only to eventually lose it 6-4. It was an emotional farewell
:07:25. > :07:30.to Watson's second senior match at Wimbledon, but there is no doubt
:07:31. > :07:35.this young British youngsters is mot for feeble surrender. For me it
:07:35. > :07:43.is frustrating, and I was disappointed that I lost. Have you
:07:43. > :07:52.experienced it before? No, I have never felt anything like this.
:07:52. > :07:56.you OK? Are you sure, do you want to stop? I presume you heard about
:07:56. > :08:01.Rio Ferdinand. Yes, Sending mosstive messages saying he is
:08:01. > :08:04.proud of you and how brave you were. That is really nice for me because
:08:04. > :08:09.I'm a Man U fan as well. So that must make you feel better, because
:08:10. > :08:15.it has been a tough day. Yes it has been a tough day. I might tweet him
:08:15. > :08:19.back later and say thank you for the support. It is tough when you
:08:19. > :08:24.are 19 and in the spotlight like that. Here is a 17-year-old who,
:08:25. > :08:29.well she has been in the spotlight for the last three years. Laura
:08:29. > :08:33.Robson beating Angelique Kerber in three sets. There was a big injury
:08:34. > :08:38.time out in this match. Affecting the German players and it means
:08:38. > :08:41.that Robson's delighted and Watson is frustrated and the reward for
:08:41. > :08:43.Laura Robson is to play Maria Sharapova on Court Number One
:08:44. > :08:49.tomorrow. That will be the interesting, will it not. Injury,
:08:49. > :08:54.it is the scourge of all sportsmen. Especially the treadmill of tennis
:08:54. > :08:59.is such that atom point your body will give out. It goes on for 11
:08:59. > :09:03.month, you never get to jump-off the treadmill so injuries play a
:09:03. > :09:06.part. Haar breaking watching Heather Watson and how she lost.
:09:06. > :09:10.You could see how much it means to her. We sometimes forget the
:09:10. > :09:13.players on the women's side, they are in their teenage years and they
:09:13. > :09:16.have to deal with the press and the pressure, and it is so hard for
:09:16. > :09:20.people who are stars in their 20s and 30s, but that was heartbreaking,
:09:20. > :09:25.you could see how much that meant to her and to have an elbow injury
:09:25. > :09:30.at that stage of the match, affecting her b and I thought her
:09:30. > :09:35.performance at the end was gutsy. You put it very well. Coming from
:09:35. > :09:39.this country, the expectations are sky high and Heather has won her
:09:39. > :09:45.first Grand Slam match at the French Open. You were lucky you won
:09:45. > :09:50.this at 17. I know! I got rid of all the pressure. But where do you
:09:50. > :09:56.go from there? It is sometimes underestimated how much pressure
:09:56. > :10:01.the teenagers are under. They want to win. But there is another thing.
:10:01. > :10:04.It is an individual sport. We cannot call the coaches and say
:10:04. > :10:09.change us, let somebody else finish the job. That is something that is
:10:09. > :10:13.not talked about enough. And your advice for Laura against Maria
:10:13. > :10:17.Sharapova is? First I think how she handled the end of the match was
:10:17. > :10:21.grai. She was able to come through. She has to try and enjoy it and
:10:21. > :10:26.maybe she will feel less pressure playing a player who she is not
:10:26. > :10:29.supposed to beat on a show court. Hope she swings away. Let us move
:10:29. > :10:32.on to the Match of the Day and the match of the championship so far.
:10:32. > :10:39.This requires a step back in time, Boris, you will like this. Because
:10:39. > :10:46.we are going back to 1989. There you are. There you are. Winning
:10:46. > :10:51.your... That is me? That is you. Winning your third title in 1989
:10:51. > :11:00.which is the same year a young Japanese girl went out in the first
:11:00. > :11:03.round. Here we are with Kimiko Date-Krumm back, facing Venus
:11:03. > :11:08.Williams. She is the third oldest player to play in the Championships
:11:08. > :11:12.here in the singles, but I have to say in the first set, she she
:11:12. > :11:17.looked like a 20-year-old. She was playing unbelievable tennis, not
:11:17. > :11:23.intimidated by playing the five times champion and she roared into
:11:24. > :11:33.a five, 5-1 lead, playing fantastic tennis. I am not sure Venus knew
:11:34. > :11:36.
:11:36. > :11:41.what hit her. Normally we talk Venus got back into that. Here we
:11:41. > :11:51.are in the first set, with Date- Krumm leading. The quality of the
:11:51. > :12:13.
:12:13. > :12:23.Amazing how she is absorbing the pace. If she is there, she has no
:12:23. > :12:51.
:12:51. > :13:01.trouble. She gets her knees down, A's amazing! It get better and
:13:01. > :13:01.
:13:01. > :13:53.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:13:53. > :14:00.Fastest serve of more match, produced by Venus Williams. She has
:14:00. > :14:10.the fastest recorded serve in the winning's game. -- she has the
:14:10. > :14:24.
:14:24. > :14:34.fastest recorded serve in the Date-Krumm moving to her right.
:14:34. > :15:08.
:15:08. > :15:18.word. Date-Krumm is now moving to Another said point. -- another set
:15:18. > :15:18.
:15:18. > :16:13.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:16:13. > :16:23.It's Aof a great champion, as Venus is, but she is producing these huge
:16:23. > :16:24.
:16:24. > :16:34.serves. -- it's 8 Mark offer a great champion, as Venus is, that
:16:34. > :16:52.
:16:52. > :17:02.From a metre behind the baseline! Deuce. She is not that big, but her
:17:02. > :17:27.
:17:27. > :17:37.She is enjoying it as much as I am sure you are. What a set of tennis
:17:37. > :18:15.
:18:15. > :18:25.this has been. And there is still Game, Miss Williams. Venus Williams
:18:25. > :18:27.
:18:27. > :18:37.A man who has spent many decades in the entertainment business with a
:18:37. > :18:52.
:18:52. > :19:00.lady who is 40 years old, and As you can see, we found ourselves
:19:00. > :19:07.in a tie-break. The Japanese lady ends up with a 6-2 lead in this
:19:07. > :19:17.tie-break. She has got to win, hasn't she? Suddenly, it was six
:19:17. > :19:37.
:19:37. > :19:47.points all in the tie-break. This It's game. Williams is challenging!
:19:47. > :19:49.
:19:49. > :19:56.- - It's in! It's the first challenge of the match. Will it be
:19:56. > :20:05.another set point for this lady, or another for Venus? It's a
:20:05. > :20:15.millimetre in. We have had everything! A ball seemed to hang
:20:15. > :20:43.
:20:43. > :20:50.in the air for ever. Said point No. This is my 38th Wimbledon. I have
:20:50. > :20:55.never seen such a game as this in winning's tennis. That was one of
:20:55. > :21:01.four! Absolutely stunning stuff. The
:21:01. > :21:06.quality continued in the second set. Here we are in the early stages. It
:21:07. > :21:15.is worth revisiting the fact that bat close Hawk-Eye Corps added to
:21:15. > :21:25.that drama. Look at the quality. That was a key moment for Date-
:21:25. > :21:29.
:21:29. > :21:34.Krumm. Venus Williams, bit by bit, found herself in the ascendancy. We
:21:34. > :21:39.are just picking out court rallies here and there. The quality overall
:21:39. > :21:47.is so strong. There was an error from Date-Krumm that gave Venus
:21:47. > :21:54.Williams the second set. Royalty in the Royal Box. Wrapped in awe at
:21:54. > :22:01.the quality of the play. This is the third set. All the time, you
:22:01. > :22:06.were thinking, which way will this go? Date-Krumm's forehand was
:22:06. > :22:16.amazing. She played the whole game on the baseline. She never took a
:22:16. > :22:18.
:22:18. > :22:24.step backwards, challenging Sadly come from a Japanese
:22:24. > :22:34.perspective, she got broken at 6-6. We find a rather tame ending to
:22:34. > :22:41.
:22:41. > :22:47.The ball goes wide, and Venus Williams looking stunned, actually.
:22:47. > :22:54.She is safely through to the next round. A standing ovation for two
:22:54. > :22:59.brilliant athlete, proving that age is no barrier to play. We will be
:22:59. > :23:07.lucky if another singles match at these championships is as good as
:23:07. > :23:14.Do you feel that was the kind of tennis you needed or did not?
:23:14. > :23:20.would prefer to win with straight set and no breaks. Right to will
:23:20. > :23:25.the end, she was attacking. -- right till the end, she was
:23:25. > :23:30.attacking. I'm glad I was able to serve well. How far away do you
:23:30. > :23:36.think you're from your absolute best? I do not focus on my game at
:23:36. > :23:40.that. It is just important to play each point, and to keep competing.
:23:40. > :23:47.I feel I am playing better than Eastbourne. I feel my movement is a
:23:47. > :23:57.lot better. I am not feeling any pain from my injury. That is more
:23:57. > :23:57.
:23:57. > :24:02.How good was that? That was a tremendous fight from Venus. We
:24:02. > :24:06.always talk about Serena fighting, but today, Venus was really
:24:06. > :24:16.fighting. She has paid very little tennis over the past year, and
:24:16. > :24:18.
:24:18. > :24:23.still able to fight through. could not stop watching. I was
:24:23. > :24:33.glued to the television for two- and-a-half hours. A 40-year-old,
:24:33. > :24:35.
:24:35. > :24:40.who has not played for a long time. It was incredible! Kimiko Date-
:24:40. > :24:45.Krumm left the game for 12 years, then thought, why don't I picked up
:24:45. > :24:50.a tennis racket again, and played like that! Will have plenty of
:24:50. > :24:54.opportunity to talk about Venus Williams over the next few weeks.
:24:54. > :25:00.Kimiko Date-Krumm was obviously disappointed, but that was
:25:00. > :25:07.unbelievable. The tis had to put it into perspective. We talk about
:25:07. > :25:11.players leaving the game for two years, like Kim Clijsters date. She
:25:12. > :25:17.left for 12 years! To play that level, it is for sure disappointing
:25:17. > :25:25.she did not win, but she will be happy tomorrow with the overall
:25:25. > :25:31.performance. Does Venus look like a winner? She is a champion. Like I'm
:25:31. > :25:37.sure she will be sore tomorrow morning. She is a champion. She has
:25:37. > :25:42.a day to recover. Never rule out a champion. Andy Roddick, twice the
:25:42. > :25:50.champion in the US, but he has never won here. He is playing at
:25:50. > :25:57.the moment a gained Victor Hanescu. If you want to watch that, hit the
:25:57. > :26:07.red Button. We are close to the end for Anne Keothavong on Court 1,
:26:07. > :26:26.
:26:26. > :26:35.We might see the end of this. Sadly, Anne Keothavong out in today's
:26:35. > :26:40.action, and Watson as well. Last year's semi-finalist safely through
:26:41. > :26:44.to the next round. That fantastic game on Centre Court meant Rafael
:26:44. > :26:54.Nadal was waiting a lot longer in the locker room than expected. He
:26:54. > :26:58.
:26:58. > :27:08.duly appeared. He was up against Ryan Sweeting, whom he played five
:27:08. > :27:10.
:27:10. > :27:20.sets against before. This was going to be... Rafael Nadal is playing
:27:20. > :27:26.
:27:26. > :27:30.like a champion. He has not lost He did not waste too much energy.
:27:30. > :27:36.Is there an element here, if you look at riders in their horse race,
:27:36. > :27:41.there is an obvious winner, and you try to find some reason not to back
:27:41. > :27:50.it. Is there a danger here that we are trying to find a reason why
:27:50. > :27:53.That includes me. Before the tournament start we think of a
:27:53. > :27:58.natural grass court player and Nadal doesn't come your mind at
:27:59. > :28:03.first. But he won the tournament two times already. He is the
:28:03. > :28:07.ultimate competitor. Coming off a French Open win. Why wouldn't you
:28:07. > :28:11.want to mention Nadal, and that includes my opinion. I was pro
:28:11. > :28:15.Federer but after spending the last hour with Boris and talking about
:28:15. > :28:18.Nadal. Especially the way the courts are playing, even a bit
:28:18. > :28:23.slower. Balls are heavy, gives Nadal more time and you have to
:28:23. > :28:26.look at his record, not only his Wimbledon record but five out of
:28:26. > :28:32.the last six glams and in Australia was injured. So leaning towards
:28:32. > :28:36.maybe giving the nod back to Rafa. Let us hear from the man himself.
:28:36. > :28:42.Congratulations, that was another very good performance by you.
:28:42. > :28:48.Thanks a lot. It was a good match. The last moment of the match, I
:28:48. > :28:54.think I played a little bit worse today. I was playing very well, the
:28:54. > :28:59.beginning of the third I, the MAFF r match was under control. He has a
:28:59. > :29:05.few chance, I had a few mistakes. Your very first match under the
:29:05. > :29:08.roof. What do you think of the Wimbledon Centre Court roof?
:29:08. > :29:12.Wimbledon Centre Court with or without the roof is the best court
:29:12. > :29:16.in the world. It is a pleasure playing in this court for me today,
:29:16. > :29:21.it was a new experience for me, the first time to play with the roof,
:29:21. > :29:25.and I am happy to do it. Actually the roof, has just added something
:29:25. > :29:30.magical to this place, hasn't it. You almost wish that years and
:29:30. > :29:33.years ago we could have had it here, and also you might say I wonder how
:29:33. > :29:37.many Championships would have been different had games not been
:29:37. > :29:42.interrupted by rain I would have loved to play indoors. Now we get
:29:42. > :29:47.to use it. It hardly rained in the first two years, we use it because
:29:47. > :29:51.of bad light. Now we get to use the roof and the match is played
:29:51. > :29:56.differently because it is different indoors. It was the first day the
:29:57. > :30:01.people appreciated it. They got to watch tennis during the rain.
:30:01. > :30:07.Rafa enjoyed the roof and Djokovic and Federer are safely through, so
:30:07. > :30:17.the big four, the Fab Four if we can call them that are going allong
:30:17. > :30:23.
:30:23. > :30:28.serenery. Is there anybody else out Time to solve the mystery of the
:30:28. > :30:34.fifth man. Could it be the silent Swedish sasen? Robin Soderling is
:30:34. > :30:39.picked off members of the big four, the brave and bearded one fears no-
:30:39. > :30:43.one. Not even a former number one Lleyton Hewitt. Who awaits him in
:30:43. > :30:47.round two. He was the second man last year, Thomas Berdych finished
:30:47. > :30:54.off a Wimbledon legend in Roger Federer before falling to the
:30:54. > :31:00.rainier thrusts of Rafael Nadal in the final. This year six sets
:31:00. > :31:04.played Benneteau falling to the clinical Czech. You know what, I
:31:04. > :31:07.know how to play on grass, I don't feel like I deserve to be talked
:31:07. > :31:11.about with those four, but certainly, you are talking about
:31:11. > :31:16.anybody beside those four, I feel I should be. Is the fifth man truly
:31:16. > :31:20.the self anointed one? He has the Wimbledon pedigree, three times a
:31:20. > :31:26.finalist Andy Roddick has the viper serve and the punch from the ground
:31:26. > :31:32.to worry the best. Del Potro is another potential fifth man with a
:31:32. > :31:37.major title. He was once not so far in the past a top four kind of guy,
:31:37. > :31:42.until injury knocked him back and back and back some more, but the
:31:42. > :31:46.Argentine is a champion at heart. Fifth man is perhaps tts least he
:31:46. > :31:51.deserves. Well, two of the contenders for the fifth man are on
:31:51. > :31:57.court and that is the latest state of play as far as Victor Hanescu
:31:57. > :32:02.and Roddick is concerned. Pot is also on court. He is plays Rochus
:32:02. > :32:07.of Belgium and the score is, well they are in a first set tie-break
:32:07. > :32:14.and it is six all. This is not Isner and Mahut mark two. Is there
:32:14. > :32:17.a fifth man? Yes, the number of players out there, and is Roddick,
:32:17. > :32:22.Soederling, obviously Thomas Berdych the finalist last year but
:32:22. > :32:26.the top four have played so well in the last six month, that is the
:32:26. > :32:30.problem. Djokovic, not being able to lose a match. Federer being
:32:30. > :32:34.Federer, Nadal winning the French Open, and Murray winning the Queens
:32:34. > :32:38.Club and the great hope you have, so naturally, you have to talk
:32:38. > :32:41.about the top four. You have been sitting on the fence. You have done
:32:41. > :32:46.so many interviews, and you haven't actually nailed your colours to the
:32:46. > :32:51.mast yet, about who you think is going to win. That is correct.
:32:51. > :32:55.you do it now I want to wait the first week. I have seen Murray
:32:55. > :32:59.today, I have seen Nadal the other day and they both looked great, so
:33:00. > :33:05.I want to see Federer tomorrow and Djokovic and in about a week I will
:33:05. > :33:09.tell you. Do you want to say who now. For my fifth man on grass I
:33:09. > :33:13.will give it to Roddick, he seems to have changed his serve. He
:33:13. > :33:16.talked about moving his grip back, we will see if that helps him. I
:33:16. > :33:21.put Federer and Nadal at the top. They have proven they are the
:33:21. > :33:28.champions at Grand Slams. OK, well some big names were given a shock,
:33:28. > :33:33.others weren't so fortunate. The upset of the day happened on court
:33:33. > :33:40.18. The player who took Andy Murray to five sets under the Centre Court
:33:40. > :33:44.roof two years ago has no chance of any more late-nights at Wimbledon.
:33:45. > :33:52.14Th seed Wawrinka was beaten in straight sets after this last
:33:53. > :34:01.minute desperate mesh didn't pay off. -- measure. Despite a wobble
:34:01. > :34:09.in the first set, 10th seed Mardy Fish won in straight sets. Istomin
:34:09. > :34:14.flound erred while the American reeled him in. Former Wimbledon
:34:14. > :34:17.semifinalist Richard Gasquet took 21 minutes to take the first set.
:34:17. > :34:25.The 17th seed from France was obviously in a hurry, the straight
:34:25. > :34:30.sets win lasted just over an hour- and-a-half. Despite going a break
:34:30. > :34:34.up early on, Cannes Canada's Raonic was forced out after slipping on
:34:34. > :34:39.the grass and falling awkwardly. He did return to action but this
:34:39. > :34:49.year's youngest male seed has to call it quits while leading the set
:34:49. > :34:58.3-2 after 22 minutes on court. And this player made quite an entrance.
:34:58. > :35:01.Her face paint didn't do enough to distract her opponent. After
:35:01. > :35:08.disputing the final call of the match. The American refused to
:35:08. > :35:13.shake the umpire's hand. Controversy there. A few moments
:35:14. > :35:19.ago, Robin Haase of the Netherland had beaten Fernando Verdasco. They
:35:19. > :35:23.must have been tired after a long match against Stepanek. Was he
:35:23. > :35:28.pleased? I think he might have been. That was in four sets. Somebody
:35:28. > :35:34.else we haven't put into the fifth man category, but somebody that
:35:34. > :35:40.everybody enjoys watching, Gael Monfils winning here. Is he a
:35:40. > :35:44.konder -- contender? I hope he will be one day, he is fascinating to
:35:44. > :35:49.watch. Lots of quality. He yet has to prove himself. Because?
:35:49. > :35:53.hasn't been in the Grand Slam final. He hasn't won a big one in order to
:35:53. > :35:58.be one of the contenders. A couple of French supporters supporting him
:35:58. > :36:02.there today. This is what happened as far as the seeds board is
:36:02. > :36:07.concerned. It is just Wawrinka the Swiss number two who has bitten the
:36:07. > :36:13.dust from the top 16. And I think we can tell you that Del Potro, I
:36:13. > :36:17.think, has he won that tie-break? Am I hearing in my ear? Rochus has
:36:17. > :36:21.won the tie-break against Del Potro. So that might be a bit of an upset.
:36:21. > :36:30.If we go live to centre, I think we can see how Andy Roddick is getting
:36:30. > :36:33.on. Is that match coming to its conclusion? 5-4 Roddick. This is
:36:33. > :36:39.one of those great television moments where you gamble going live
:36:39. > :36:42.and sometimes you get lucky. So there is Boris's fifth man, Andy
:36:42. > :36:45.Roddick or Lindsay's fifth man. Andy Roddick going safely through.
:36:45. > :36:49.The serve is still there, but I think we were talking on the
:36:49. > :36:54.programme a couple of nights ago, you need a, nowadays because of the
:36:54. > :36:59.courts being slower, you do need the all round game, you can't rely
:36:59. > :37:02.on a big stroke. For Roddick he has to be more aggressive. Maybe the
:37:03. > :37:06.grass will make him become more aggressive. He has to use his
:37:06. > :37:11.foremand more. He has got too defensive on that shot, when he won
:37:11. > :37:15.the US Open he was hitting his forehand. Hopefully the grass
:37:15. > :37:19.pushes him forward. The sun is shining, be lately after the rain
:37:19. > :37:24.threatened to ruin the day. But the forecast for tomorrow is reasonably
:37:24. > :37:34.encouraging, that is what we have on Centre Court. Soederling against
:37:34. > :37:55.
:37:55. > :37:59.I suppose when you are a June wror player, let us, we will talk over
:37:59. > :38:07.that picture, because it -- junior. It is prettier than the option here.
:38:07. > :38:12.It is not. It is that case. It is because of us! But, when you are a
:38:12. > :38:16.junior, you dream of moments like tomorrow that Laura Robson has, we
:38:16. > :38:21.saw Heather Watson saying I want to be a Grand Slam champion. When
:38:21. > :38:25.Laura Robson was 12, 13, 14, she dreamed of moments like tomorrow.
:38:25. > :38:29.And the key thing, I suppose is to seize the day. Absolutely. You can
:38:29. > :38:34.go both ways, where nerves overtake a player and the match is out of
:38:34. > :38:37.their hands of the first three or four games. Robson needs to start
:38:37. > :38:42.off strong, a few big serves, crack a few winners to get her to settle
:38:42. > :38:45.down a bit. Make her believe she has a chance, he will have the
:38:46. > :38:51.crowd support. But Maria Sharapova looked gooz in that first round.
:38:51. > :38:55.She is hungry for another Grand Slam title. But you think she is
:38:55. > :38:59.playing well.. She looked great in Paris good in the first round here,
:38:59. > :39:03.she is pretty determined to add another title. Your thoughts on
:39:03. > :39:07.Maria Sharapova? Let us face it, how many years ago, seven years ago
:39:07. > :39:13.was going to take over the world and dipped but she is back. What
:39:13. > :39:17.happened. Injuries: The shoulder. think the pressure, I mean, she
:39:17. > :39:21.very beautiful woman. She has it all, all of a sudden everybody
:39:21. > :39:25.expected her to be the next big thing winning two or three Grand
:39:25. > :39:29.Slams a year. It didn't happen. She is back, she is important for the
:39:29. > :39:33.game. She is a strong player. I would agree she is playing with
:39:33. > :39:36.more confidence than I have seen in a long time. The papers will focus
:39:36. > :39:40.on British disappointment but success in the other about Laura
:39:40. > :39:43.rob soond we ought to finish talking about Andy Murray. It is
:39:43. > :39:49.two down and five to go and he has Ivan Ljubicic in the next round
:39:49. > :39:54.which you think he ought to win, yes? On paper yes, Ivan Ljubicic a
:39:54. > :39:58.former top three in the world. He knows how to win big matches. On
:39:58. > :40:02.paper Murray is the favourite. The matches will get tougher. It is the
:40:02. > :40:07.nature of beast playing at Wimbledon. From Murray's
:40:07. > :40:12.perspective. I detect less, even though he is at number four in the
:40:12. > :40:16.world, I detect that there is less hysteria about him this year which
:40:16. > :40:20.maybe is good for him. I think he likes it that way. Everybody is
:40:20. > :40:25.talking about Federer and Nadal. The fifth man potentially Murray is
:40:25. > :40:30.doing the right thing, winning matches in straight sets, takes his
:40:30. > :40:39.girl out to London, as I mentioned, has a day off tomorrow, is one of
:40:39. > :40:41.the true favourites. A last word, we will talk about Venus again.
:40:41. > :40:44.Kimiko Date-Krumm. Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. It is great
:40:44. > :40:48.to see not only her age but everything she has gone through,
:40:48. > :40:52.play at such a high level against such a high quality opponent.
:40:52. > :41:02.was a day wheneverry 40-year-old thought "That could have been me."
:41:02. > :41:17.
