:00:14. > :00:18.Previously on grass, a you have Marion Bartoli who kicked her Dad
:00:18. > :00:22.off court and beat Serena Williams, against Sabine Lisicki and who
:00:22. > :00:28.maybe the new Steffi Graf and has the fastest serve on the tournament.
:00:28. > :00:38.Petra Kvitova idolises Martina Navratilova and was a semi-finalist

:00:39. > :00:47.last year. Tsvetana Pironkova is ranked 80. -- Paszek. She is the
:00:47. > :00:52.lowest-ranked woman for left, and her opponent will not go quietly.
:00:52. > :00:59.Cibulkova used today Gael Monfils and hit out Caroline Wozniacki and
:00:59. > :01:09.is not light -- and is not very tall, unlike Maria Sharapova, who
:01:09. > :01:19.The day that the rain came, but some of the biggest names have
:01:19. > :01:20.
:01:20. > :01:30.already been washed away. So from the winner of the US Open, he would
:01:30. > :01:31.
:01:31. > :01:37.stake their claim? -- who would. Yesterday, you knew it was summer
:01:37. > :01:44.because it was so hot and today, there was thunder and Tropical Rain
:01:44. > :01:48.of apocalyptic magnitude. So for Andrew Castle and Lindsay Davenport,
:01:48. > :01:52.less to talk about their unusual because one match is still taking
:01:52. > :01:57.place on Centre Court, the one outstanding match in the women's
:01:57. > :02:02.quarter-finals that you can see on the red button. And we will update
:02:02. > :02:07.you. The most remarkable thing today was eight players from eight
:02:07. > :02:11.countries, all European, the first time that had happened since 1913.
:02:11. > :02:20.First, Germany against France, Sabine Lisicki against Marion
:02:20. > :02:26.Bartoli. Both players have beaten a big opponents, and two players with
:02:26. > :02:29.doctors as fathers. And there was lightning in this match. This is
:02:29. > :02:39.the third point of the match, when did you last see a return of serve
:02:39. > :02:45.
:02:45. > :02:52.Then it started to get silly. We are indoors. And Sabine Lisicki was
:02:52. > :02:57.not a loan of thinking that Fonda was aimed at her! -- thunder. It
:02:57. > :03:04.was a strange atmosphere because it was like being at Kew Gardens in a
:03:04. > :03:08.giant conservatory and the rain was hammering on the roof. The cloud --
:03:08. > :03:14.it was like the crowd was clapping throughout the match. That was a
:03:14. > :03:22.fantastic half volley from Marion Bartoli, but Sabine Lisicki came
:03:22. > :03:26.back with this to win it. So it went to the German six games to
:03:27. > :03:36.four. Here she is serving just one game away from a place in the semi-
:03:37. > :03:45.
:03:45. > :03:52.Howl in the world Tichy miss that?! -- how in the world did she miss
:03:52. > :04:02.that? Why did she go to a slice forehand? Nervous, maybe, trying to
:04:02. > :04:02.
:04:02. > :05:03.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds
:05:03. > :05:13.When something like that happens, It is nice to have that weapon, she
:05:13. > :05:43.
:05:43. > :05:53.That first serve is 95. One of the first times in the match she has
:05:53. > :06:05.
:06:05. > :06:15.That is amazing! She got away with that because Bartoli should have
:06:15. > :06:19.
:06:19. > :06:29.put that drop shot away. She was so Match point number two. I do not
:06:29. > :07:05.
:07:05. > :07:09.think she will spend this in. -- You live by the sword and you die
:07:09. > :07:19.by the sword! I cannot believe this is not over, and neither can
:07:19. > :07:30.
:07:30. > :07:36.She has not got her breath back from the last point! She has come
:07:36. > :07:40.back so well on the deuce points but is holding back on the match
:07:40. > :07:50.points, we have not seen the Schett this match. Match point number
:07:50. > :08:27.
:08:27. > :08:35.three. -- we have not seen this A foot fault has been called.
:08:35. > :08:39.that is not going to please Bartoli. You have got to be kidding! Never
:08:39. > :08:49.has anybody wanted to be called for foot fault more than a Lisicki just
:08:49. > :08:49.
:08:49. > :09:40.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds
:09:40. > :09:45.What a way to lose a game you have had three match points in. So we
:09:45. > :09:55.find ourselves at 6-all, Sabine Lisicki held her nerve to get to a
:09:55. > :10:23.
:10:23. > :10:27.tie-break, and we join it at the That should give her some
:10:27. > :10:37.confidence. She controlled every shot in that rally, trying to

:10:37. > :12:26.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds
:12:26. > :12:31.This has become a tug-of-war, And one on Marion's biggest serves
:12:31. > :12:41.of the match. She has knocked got many free points, she has had to
:12:41. > :13:14.
:13:14. > :13:19.work hard in this match. She will A nice job by Lisicki of
:13:19. > :13:25.controlling the ground. She has got more pace but now has to improve
:13:25. > :13:35.her serve because it has fallen off drastically in the last 10 minutes.
:13:35. > :14:10.
:14:11. > :14:20.Such a huge reason she was ahead in It is impossible to try harder. It

:14:33. > :15:07.
:15:07. > :15:13.That first serve percentage has dropped off quite a bit for Lisicki
:15:13. > :15:23.and she is only winning 37% on that second serve. That has affected her

:15:23. > :16:26.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds
:16:26. > :16:36.in the latter stages of the second What a time for the best rally of
:16:36. > :16:37.
:16:37. > :17:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds
:17:21. > :17:28.the match. Important for Lisicki to It is so often easier playing from
:17:28. > :17:38.behind and finishing it off, and never easy. Quite a few times in
:17:38. > :18:01.
:18:01. > :18:07.Lisicki's career she has had match That second serve was not good
:18:07. > :18:13.enough, 70 Miles per hour. Right to one of the best return players in
:18:13. > :18:23.the game. Just over 20 minutes ago, Bartoli saved a third match point
:18:23. > :18:44.
:18:44. > :18:50.She has got it! With the pressure, would you believe?! Back from the
:18:50. > :18:55.brink, Marion Bartoli. After one hour and 45 minutes, it is one set-
:18:55. > :19:00.all! The quality of the match wheelie
:19:00. > :19:06.had gone through the roof, that second set were outstanding -- will
:19:06. > :19:16.really had. We had high hopes of a dramatic finish, but it did not
:19:16. > :19:22.
:19:22. > :19:28.work out that way. This is a good rally. Marion Bartoli seemed to to
:19:29. > :19:34.deflate. She had a sit down. Bit by bit, are you felt there was an ever
:19:34. > :19:42.to ability about the result and here we have the next Steffi Graf -
:19:42. > :19:47.- an inevitability. And she is into her first Wimbledon semi-final, and
:19:47. > :19:52.that is a smile of delight. She was smiling throughout the first set,
:19:52. > :19:58.very relaxed and the big atmosphere. It slipped away when she got
:19:58. > :20:03.nervous. At the end, it ended well for Sabine Lisicki. And that is the
:20:03. > :20:07.smile again. It is worth reiterating took
:20:07. > :20:11.everybody listening around the world what kind of a journey you
:20:11. > :20:16.have had because last year you had to learn to walk again after an
:20:17. > :20:26.horrific injury. Can you quite believe that journey?
:20:27. > :20:28.
:20:28. > :20:34.It is so unbelievable, I cannot It is so wonderful to be standing
:20:35. > :20:39.on Centre Court at Wimbledon, which I love so much. I am just so happy!
:20:39. > :20:44.I am not a very disappointed because I tried my hardest. But
:20:44. > :20:52.after one set-all, my mind was trying but I did not have any gas
:20:52. > :20:57.left in the tank. All the matches I play from clay to grass court
:20:57. > :21:03.really, it was just too much and my body could not any more. I'm really
:21:03. > :21:07.tried my hardest, I really thought I would be able to win the match
:21:07. > :21:12.after the second set but my legs could not move any more all of a
:21:12. > :21:16.sudden and I was just too tired, so there was nothing I could do. I
:21:16. > :21:20.still tried extremely hard but my body could not move,.
:21:21. > :21:26.You could not question her commitment and resilience, it was
:21:26. > :21:32.brilliant when she beat so remit -- she beat Serena Williams 24 hours
:21:32. > :21:36.ago. She said she had nothing left, but in three sets, she almost
:21:36. > :21:41.played five because she is bouncing up and down going through her
:21:41. > :21:49.routine, it is exhausting to watch. And the ball is not in play!
:21:49. > :21:54.Exactly! She has had a rough road at Wimbledon, the 3 hour match in
:21:54. > :22:01.the third round, and Serena Williams, a mentally exhausting win
:22:01. > :22:05.24 hours ago. But in the long run, she did more damage. She was
:22:05. > :22:10.exhausted by the third set, she had no energy. She ran to the
:22:10. > :22:14.changeover after every game, she was bouncing around after points,
:22:14. > :22:19.and you have to learn not to waste energy and balance it with getting
:22:19. > :22:24.yourself going. It seemed too much time getting herself going and it
:22:24. > :22:29.backfired. The force was with her at one-set-all. If you were betting
:22:29. > :22:34.on that match, you would think Marion Bartoli was going to win
:22:34. > :22:39.because Sabine Lisicki got very tired. She missed the first hand,
:22:39. > :22:45.missed the first serve pace, everything pointed to come at this
:22:45. > :22:50.was going to be a third set to Marion Bartoli. Put all the
:22:50. > :22:55.emotional energy, it is a weird looking but she is not self-
:22:55. > :23:00.conscious. And it is exhausting, so perhaps do something different. She
:23:00. > :23:05.has been very successful way be, it in Eastbourne and at the French, so
:23:05. > :23:12.she is tired, fair enough. It was going back in time looking at the
:23:12. > :23:14.players' box today. Just her mother and father, nobody else, not a
:23:14. > :23:23.physiotherapist or the psychoanalyst or the marketing man
:23:23. > :23:28.or the agent, it was almost refreshing. Nobody else. I liked it,
:23:28. > :23:33.she feels she got to this position with just her father behind her and
:23:33. > :23:41.frequently the mother is not there, just water. They feel like very own
:23:41. > :23:45.team. And she is a lovely, it is just odd-looking on the court. She
:23:45. > :23:51.is very personable will -- personable, and really well
:23:51. > :23:55.adjusted, but it looks strange on court. How good is Sabine Lisicki?
:23:55. > :23:59.She is good and on grass with that serve and forehand, she will be a
:23:59. > :24:06.real threat and should be for years to come, it is about the mental
:24:06. > :24:10.toughness for her. Can she hold up in these big matches? And now in a
:24:10. > :24:15.semi-final with a big serve. And that helps on grass because if you
:24:15. > :24:21.get nervous, if you can get a few free points. She got a few and just
:24:21. > :24:26.needed a few more, but it does hide nerves. For the second quarter
:24:26. > :24:32.final, from Western Europe to Eastern Europe. Maria Sharapova
:24:32. > :24:37.from Russia one of this in 2004 when she was 17 and Dominika
:24:37. > :24:41.Cibulkova was 15, from Czechoslovakia -- from Slovakia.
:24:41. > :24:46.Serve this a Sharapova and an emerging talent in a Wimbledon
:24:46. > :24:52.quarter-final -- so this is. But a match was an overstatement because
:24:52. > :24:59.Maria Sharapova was brilliant today, all was Cibulkova overawed by the
:24:59. > :25:04.situation? What we have here is a mixture. Maria Sharapova it is a
:25:04. > :25:10.big presence, at no question. It is like playing Serena up for Venus a
:25:10. > :25:16.couple of years ago. It is a tall order for anybody to beat her up,
:25:16. > :25:21.in every sense. She is a better player. She is certainly liking the
:25:21. > :25:25.conditions. Playing against a player that does not like grass.
:25:25. > :25:30.She is getting her serve back under control and is moving better than
:25:30. > :25:36.ever so it is allowing her to get in a better position. Players say
:25:36. > :25:40.they never look at the draw, which is not true. But when Maria
:25:40. > :25:45.Sharapova saw Williams and Williams and Caroline Wozniacki go out, she
:25:45. > :25:52.must have thought, this is my moment. She is about seizing the
:25:52. > :25:58.moment and Wimbledon has been her goldfish year. She was more relaxed.
:25:58. > :26:04.She was very happy to play Cibulkova today. And why would she
:26:04. > :26:08.not be happy? We have always known she is the most commercially
:26:08. > :26:15.attractive female sport woman in the world, her personal life is
:26:15. > :26:23.complete the now sorted out. She is engaged to be married. Seven years
:26:23. > :26:26.on from being champion and she is champion again, could she be?
:26:26. > :26:31.Congratulations, a wonderful performance, what does it mean to
:26:31. > :26:36.be in another Wimbledon semi-final? It is an honour, it has been a few
:26:36. > :26:42.years since I got past the 4th round and am in the semi-finals so
:26:42. > :26:47.it is a great chance, so I am happy. For you are in such good form, and
:26:47. > :26:52.if you play this well do you have an air of inevitability about you?
:26:52. > :26:56.Every opponent and every day is different, that is why they put the
:26:56. > :27:04.net up to play the matches. I have a tough opponent coming up and I am
:27:04. > :27:09.looking forward to that match. thoughts? That will be a good match.
:27:09. > :27:13.She was my pick at the beginning and she is experienced. When she is
:27:13. > :27:18.down, she fights hard and she can close matches and she knows how to
:27:18. > :27:23.win on grass. At the French Open, we said she would win but she fell
:27:23. > :27:29.apart in the semi-finals. But clay is different. Is her serve her
:27:29. > :27:36.Achilles heel? Of course. It has got to be on her mind but she is
:27:36. > :27:41.the toughest mental player. One of the toughest of all time. If you
:27:41. > :27:48.look behind us, it feels like midnight. They are still playing,
:27:48. > :27:52.thank heavens for the roof. They are playing on Centre Court in the
:27:52. > :27:59.one outstanding women's quarter- final. Victoria Azarenka, the 4th
:27:59. > :28:03.seed, has a break. Would you expect Azarenka to come through?
:28:03. > :28:08.Absolutely and she should. A lot has been expected of her and she
:28:08. > :28:14.has not been to a Grand Slam semi- final, but she should hit her way
:28:14. > :28:20.through. They played in Miami and if that is the final, it will be
:28:20. > :28:26.the noisiest final at! It will blow off the roof X smack tomorrow it is
:28:26. > :28:33.men's quarter-final day and when you have a big occasion, if you
:28:33. > :28:37.could sample a variety of opinions. Or you could talk to one man.
:28:37. > :28:44.It is a pleasure to say hello to Alastair MacGowan, why are you
:28:44. > :28:50.here? I have been wondering that all week! I have been doing the
:28:50. > :28:57.match reports for Radio 5 and this week I have been the hired comic,
:28:58. > :29:02.at the tournament poet. You focus specifically on the quality of the
:29:02. > :29:08.tennis fan -- of the tennis. Starting off with Andy Murray
:29:08. > :29:14.against Feliciano Lopez, how will Andy prepare? Obviously, it is a
:29:14. > :29:19.big game, the 4th quarter final in successive years. Obviously I will
:29:19. > :29:23.be doing my normal preparation, which normally involves a lot of
:29:23. > :29:28.scratching. That is probably what I will be doing, scratchings
:29:28. > :29:32.somewhere, but I have also got a scratching coach so that is really
:29:32. > :29:37.good. I have been working with him for a while and he used to coach
:29:37. > :29:44.Rio Ferdinand with his scratchings are Black is it weird that your Mum
:29:44. > :29:49.has a fixation with your opponent Feliciano Lopez? There has been a
:29:49. > :29:55.lot of talk about that. I think really come at the thing is that if
:29:55. > :30:05.I win, I am sure she will be very happy to show a week -- to shower
:30:05. > :30:36.
:30:36. > :30:44.me with praise. And if he wins, she Don't answer that! Rafael Nadal
:30:44. > :30:49.taking on Mardy Fish. I thr for me I was born, in Majorca, we eat fish
:30:49. > :30:55.for breakfast, maybe I eat fish for brekfast today. That is my little
:30:55. > :31:00.joke. Thank you very much. Brilliant and more from Alistair
:31:00. > :31:07.later on previewing the next two semifinals. You can do it in your
:31:07. > :31:13.own voice. Don't worry. Murray? Beaten Lopez four times. Playing
:31:13. > :31:17.great. Why would we pick Lopez. lefty serve Gone five sets ch given
:31:17. > :31:23.all his energy away. Worse than Bartoli. I think she done, I think
:31:23. > :31:27.Murray goes through in straight sets. Fish. It would be nice but a
:31:27. > :31:32.tough assignment against Nadal. He said the foot injury was nothing
:31:32. > :31:37.there and was supposed to practise, tough a signment for Mardy Fish but
:31:37. > :31:43.to get there is a huge achievement. If he plays the match of his life,
:31:43. > :31:47.Fish likes the grass courts. So a Nadal Murray dream semi-final on
:31:47. > :31:52.Friday. I wonder what he thinks about the Nadal foot being OK.
:31:52. > :31:57.Because... What Murray thinks? We don't know how OK it is. There
:31:57. > :32:01.is OK and there is OK. He was skipping round the the locker room
:32:01. > :32:07.and it was OK. So OK enough to practice, OK enough to win what two
:32:07. > :32:10.or three sets in his previous match. But OK, to win you know really
:32:10. > :32:14.tough gruelling four-and-a-half hour five setter against Murray?
:32:14. > :32:18.Well, the rules are different. You mow, with Rafael Nadal, the rules,
:32:18. > :32:22.he won't take to the court unless he thinks he can complete a five
:32:22. > :32:25.set match and win it. He is virtually instructable. He is
:32:25. > :32:35.different from the others in that way so if he takes to the court, he
:32:35. > :32:41.
:32:41. > :32:45.has to be favoured. So let us pick The Czech Republic against Bulgaria
:32:45. > :32:49.-- Bulgaria. Kvitova made to it the semifinal last year and so did her
:32:50. > :32:55.opponent. While Kvitova has been in good form, her opponent has won
:32:55. > :33:02.just four matches, in 14 tournaments this year. That is a
:33:02. > :33:05.pretty wretched record, but her form continued in that poor vein
:33:05. > :33:14.because Kvitova blew her off the because Kvitova blew her off the
:33:14. > :33:18.court really. I have to say I had lunch with an Australian champion,
:33:18. > :33:24.he thinks Kvitova is the future of tennis. Pironkova got back in that
:33:24. > :33:28.first set, but there we are with the first set going to Kvitova. And
:33:28. > :33:32.she certainly looked as though she was heading for a semifinal. But
:33:32. > :33:37.here we are in the second set, and it was much more even at this point
:33:37. > :33:42.now. The Bulgarian had a big emotional win the day before,
:33:42. > :33:47.against Venus Williams. She was back in the game here. And so let
:33:47. > :33:52.us move on to that back drop of that wonderful London skyline to a
:33:52. > :34:02.second set tie-break. Kvitova is what, just five points away from
:34:02. > :34:28.
:34:28. > :34:38.the semifinal but Pironkova wants She is really pumped up. Last point
:34:38. > :35:01.
:35:01. > :35:08.won by the server in this tie-break. A loth lovely smooth rhythm when
:35:08. > :35:18.she need id -- needed it. I hope lob is watching Kvitova because she
:35:18. > :35:31.
:35:31. > :35:41.could model her game on the young Being threatened good afternoon. --
:35:41. > :35:55.
:35:56. > :36:00.She is not only got quick feet an hands, a quick mind as well. That
:36:00. > :36:04.was the right shot for the right occasion. The fans out here
:36:04. > :36:14.realising that Kvitova is the bigger hitter, the stronger player
:36:14. > :36:41.

:42:48. > :42:54.Just wonder, if Pironkova, the last set was the first competitive set
:42:54. > :43:04.of ten tis she has had the whole tournament. Wonder when pushed she
:43:04. > :43:07.
:43:07. > :43:09.hadn't had any background to Sometimes when you have been
:43:09. > :43:13.rolling through the matches and rolling through the round, and you
:43:13. > :43:17.haven't had a test, sometimes it hits you and you don't respond as
:43:17. > :43:27.well as you could, and maybe in the long run this will do her the world
:43:27. > :43:39.
:43:39. > :43:46.of good, if she can come through She didn't have the tests that
:43:46. > :43:56.Pironkova had. That was Vera Zvonareva and Will -- Venus

:43:56. > :45:23.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds
:45:23. > :45:29.UMPIRE: Game Miss Kvitova. Oh dear. Well after the all good to work get
:45:29. > :45:32.herself back into the match at one set all Pironkova spiralled into a
:45:32. > :45:37.never ending decline actually, and Kvitova, that is, a wonderful
:45:37. > :45:42.forehand, it is interesting, talking to people about before
:45:42. > :45:47.these, don't forget, Martina Navratilova is her hero and mar
:45:47. > :45:50.Tina played her first and set quarterfinals once upon a time and
:45:50. > :45:55.is now one of the great figures of all time in the women's game. Who
:45:55. > :45:59.is to say that Kvitova, with a serve like that and a forehand like
:45:59. > :46:04.she has got. Prapts she is going to be one of the great players over
:46:04. > :46:10.the next decade or so. He is into her second consecutive semifinal.
:46:10. > :46:14.She would like to go one better than she managed 12 months ago. Now
:46:14. > :46:18.tell me, how will the experience of last year stand you in good stead
:46:18. > :46:24.for another semifinal this year, what did you learn? It is better I
:46:24. > :46:31.was in the semifinal last year, and I had experiences, I know how it is
:46:31. > :46:36.feeling on the Centre Court, in semifinal, and I play against, I am
:46:36. > :46:40.looking forward to the semifinal for sure. The last left handed
:46:40. > :46:44.player to win this event is Martina Navratilova: I wonder what is going
:46:44. > :46:51.through your mind now with thoughts on maybe the title, two wins away
:46:51. > :46:56.in Well, I spoke to Martina Navratilova. She was my idol when I
:46:56. > :47:03.was young, I try my best and we will see. Who would she play in her
:47:03. > :47:09.semifinal? This rate it looks like being Azarenka, who was up 5-2 but
:47:09. > :47:15.got broken and is two points away now from the first set on Centre
:47:15. > :47:24.Court. That imagine -- match is on the red button. Let us round up
:47:24. > :47:27.Defending champion Rafael Nadal has declared himself fit for his
:47:27. > :47:31.quarterfinal against Mardy Fish tomorrow, after a scan on his foot
:47:31. > :47:35.revealed no injury sh and the world number one was able to enjoy some
:47:35. > :47:40.light practise earlier today. By the way, Andy Murray isn't flying
:47:40. > :47:48.Union Jack on his own at these Championships. Colin Fleming and
:47:48. > :47:58.Ross Hutchins sailed through to the last eight as they continue to
:47:58. > :48:01.
:48:01. > :48:06.But as ever standing in their way, may well be the Bryan brothers.
:48:06. > :48:10.2006 champions and four time finalist, they are engaged in a
:48:10. > :48:18.Titanic tussle. It is two sets all and three games each in the fifth.
:48:18. > :48:25.They resume tomorrow. Meanwhile Stockport's left handed Liam Brody
:48:25. > :48:29.kept British hopes alive in the boy's singles. Sadly, both George
:48:29. > :48:36.Morgan and Oliver Golding mated their exits -- exits in the second
:48:36. > :48:40.round. And the fairytale appearance of the first ever player from
:48:40. > :48:50.Burundi is over. He scannedered match point before losing in round
:48:50. > :48:58.two. We were grabbing the atlases today, saying brund di, capital?
:48:58. > :49:04.thanks for the warning! -- Burundi. What about the British boys here,
:49:04. > :49:09.Liam Brody is a good player. George Morgan is, Carl Edmund, there were
:49:09. > :49:14.nine playing yesterday. Evan hoit. They are all playing They are all
:49:14. > :49:18.good players. They work hard. we are looking for is three or four
:49:18. > :49:23.more years and that huge jump, that chasm to the professional game. You
:49:23. > :49:28.know who ha is down to? That is down to them. I wish them well. But
:49:28. > :49:30.they are a dedicated bunch. It is not down to the RTA? Why don't we
:49:30. > :49:33.start taking personal responsibility. They have to. And
:49:33. > :49:36.they understand it now and they will say the same thing. If you
:49:36. > :49:41.want to take the money and take the help fine, but remember nobody else
:49:41. > :49:47.cares but you, it is your responsibility. I think ha is a big
:49:47. > :49:52.deal. OK. Well Alistair McGowan has told us it will be Rafael Nadal and
:49:52. > :49:56.Andy Murray but who will win the other two men's quarters tomorrow.
:49:56. > :50:01.Jo-Wilfred Tsonga against Federer. Surely it's a certainty he will win.
:50:01. > :50:05.I think the important thing I take each match as it comes. We don't
:50:05. > :50:12.look too far ahead of the draw. I was hoping not to play him but that
:50:12. > :50:21.is what happened and I will play him and I think, yes, just don't
:50:21. > :50:28.look too far ahead. I take each match as it comes. We all do,
:50:28. > :50:31.unlike Marion Bartoli. What can you do. The last of the matches.
:50:31. > :50:36.Bernard Tomic against Novak Djokovic. Novak. It has been easy
:50:36. > :50:41.for you so far? Yes, it has been really good tournament for me and I
:50:41. > :50:46.am happy to be here, and nobody knows how I speak, to, that is...
:50:46. > :50:52.That is as good as it will get. Bernard Tomic, the youngest player
:50:52. > :50:56.through the quarterfinals, since Boris Becker. Yes, and we hope that
:50:56. > :51:04.he can do well. He will be the first 18-year-old since me, to make
:51:04. > :51:08.it into the semifinals. It will be great for him and for us. It is a
:51:08. > :51:10.wonderful tournament but I think perhaps you have to remember, the
:51:10. > :51:14.Djokovic has been on this incredible streak at the start of
:51:14. > :51:17.the year, and let's hope he doesn't go on a streak at Wimbledon because
:51:18. > :51:22.he will be chucked out of the club. They don't like streaking here.
:51:22. > :51:26.Lovely to meet you. Enjoy the rest of it. Wonderful. I am not sure who
:51:26. > :51:30.he thought was going to win. Who cares? That is the line up on
:51:30. > :51:35.Centre Courtment you will see those matches because of the roof. Jo-
:51:35. > :51:45.Wilfred Tsonga and Federer, Andy Murray and Lopez. Bernard Tomic
:51:45. > :51:48.
:51:48. > :51:52.against Djokovic and Fish. It is Djokovic to win? There is no reason
:51:52. > :51:56.to suspect why the top four won't make it through. That are the Fab
:51:56. > :52:00.Four there is a reason they are still there, there is a reason they
:52:00. > :52:04.are top four seeds. Bomb, he would be doing well to get a set. Well,
:52:04. > :52:09.there is the view as we head out across the park. There is rain on
:52:09. > :52:19.that lens, because it is still drizzling. It is miserable, but the
:52:19. > :52:19.
:52:19. > :52:24.die-hard fans are there, because This miserable British weather,
:52:24. > :52:28.really hasn't put off hundreds of die-hard Dennis fans coming to
:52:28. > :52:32.Wimbledon park for the chance to see some men's quarterfinal matches
:52:32. > :52:35.tomorrow. It is very organised here. People come down, they get given a
:52:35. > :52:39.card with a number on it and that is their number in the queue. They
:52:39. > :52:44.are told where to camp out, and when they get up in the morning
:52:44. > :52:47.they know what their number in the queue will be. There are 500
:52:47. > :52:51.tickets and 500 Court One tickets available. Some people have been
:52:51. > :52:56.here since Sunday, just for the chance to guarantee themselves a
:52:56. > :53:01.Centre Court ticket. The Perkins family here, came just today.
:53:01. > :53:04.we left Solihull and got here this afternoon. The weather didn't put
:53:04. > :53:08.you off On the train when it was pouring it was a downer, but we
:53:08. > :53:15.thought we have left so we will go for it. It is not so bad at the
:53:15. > :53:18.moment p No. What number are you in the queue, that is the key? 767.
:53:18. > :53:22.And are you hoping for Centre Court tickets? Definitely. That is what
:53:22. > :53:31.we want the see. So Nadal is on Court One tomorrow, so you must be
:53:31. > :53:37.hoping there are lots of Nadal fans. We hope all the people that way are
:53:37. > :53:41.Nadal fans. Is this your first time? I would do it again.
:53:41. > :53:45.sister sold it to me. She broke her toe this morning so she will be
:53:45. > :53:49.disappointed so we are here because of her, but having fun. I hope you
:53:50. > :53:53.get your Centre Court tickets guys. The All England Club say there are
:53:53. > :53:59.more than 1,000 people here, so you want show court tickets I am afraid
:53:59. > :54:02.there is no chance, but if you are happy to get ground passes and sit
:54:02. > :54:09.up on Henman Hill or Murray Mound to see the matches on the big
:54:09. > :54:14.screen, come on down, make sure it is early. How frustrated would you
:54:14. > :54:19.be if you had a ticket that was 501. I know you have been here for 36
:54:19. > :54:26.hours but you are not going on see the students there. It is light
:54:26. > :54:33.a rite of passage, they thought all their Christmases came at once when
:54:33. > :54:43.Sonali turned up. Azarenka has just won the first set I am hearing on
:54:43. > :54:45.
:54:45. > :54:50.I don't know what happens here, because I haven't seen it. But...
:54:50. > :54:55.That means that Azarenka is half way to a semifinal against Kvitova.
:54:56. > :55:01.And if that does map, -- happen, that is a very interesting game.
:55:01. > :55:05.Yes if both pan out, Kvitova, Azarenka and three of the four is
:55:05. > :55:09.the next generation of women's tennis, very young, 20, 21, Maria
:55:09. > :55:14.is the old one at 24. Which is funny to say, but great tennis,
:55:14. > :55:18.maybe the fans don't know the players as well but their level of
:55:18. > :55:23.tennis is exceptionally high. And why should we be interested in
:55:23. > :55:26.Kvitova? She played Wimbledon she played her first match on grass
:55:26. > :55:29.last year and made the semifinal and he is in the semifinal again.
:55:29. > :55:32.When you see them interviewed they are totally different to on court.
:55:32. > :55:38.It is utter professionalism on court. Sometimes you wish to see a
:55:38. > :55:44.bit more expression, we are not used to people who have a K and V
:55:44. > :55:48.next to each other in their game. If they came from a culture we
:55:48. > :55:52.understood better we could -- identify. She seems a great girl,
:55:52. > :55:57.and she is. Last word on what is going to happen or not going to
:55:57. > :56:01.happen tomorrow, from a Murray- Lopez point of view. What kind of
:56:01. > :56:05.match do you expect it to be. Has Murray got to take the match to
:56:05. > :56:10.him? On the occasions when he sits back it is almost, he allows other
:56:10. > :56:14.players to dictate to him, and then suddenly we get anxious. Passive is
:56:14. > :56:19.not what he is about. Even will say the same thing, including the
:56:19. > :56:25.person who is advising him. If you sit back against Lopez he will use
:56:25. > :56:29.the short slice, he has got weaponry, if he gets 80% of first
:56:29. > :56:33.serves in and plays the match of his life, he has a chance,
:56:33. > :56:38.otherwise, I just can't see three out of five sets, how he can really
:56:38. > :56:43.make a dent in the Murray game F Andy comes with his even 90%, I
:56:43. > :56:48.just cannot see a way through for Lopez. He is too limited a player.
:56:48. > :56:51.I agree. Especially the confidence that Murray would have after
:56:51. > :56:56.beating Gasquet. High sever percentage will be key. Two many
:56:56. > :57:01.second serves will allow Lopez dom in. Murray has to be full of
:57:01. > :57:06.confidence, there was a huge win over Gasquet. The organisers,
:57:06. > :57:10.everybody, we, we want the same semifinal line up at Wimbledon they
:57:10. > :57:15.had at Roland Garros. We want the big for. If one is going to tall by
:57:15. > :57:19.the way side, who do you think it might be? I am concerned about
:57:19. > :57:23.Nadal against Fish. Fish can do damage. I want the best player to
:57:23. > :57:27.win and the person who deserves it to win. I love watching Roger
:57:27. > :57:34.Federer play, I adore the way he plays. Djokovic has had a great
:57:34. > :57:38.year, Murray because he is British. I can't see anybody out of the top
:57:38. > :57:42.four. Not even Jo-Wilfred Tsonga against Federerment Roger has been
:57:42. > :57:46.playing well. He has carried the clay over to the grass. He is happy,
:57:46. > :57:51.looks confident. Looks relaxed. I will agree with you. He would love
:57:51. > :57:56.to beat Novak again. All this talk about Novak riled him up the wrong
:57:56. > :58:00.way. Haven't got any spare tickets have you? Right. Any way, out there
:58:00. > :58:05.in the dark, hundreds and hundreds of people are camping, awaiting for
:58:05. > :58:15.what is going to happen tomorrow. The atmosphere you could say is
:58:15. > :58:25.
