:01:07. > :01:10.

:01:10. > :01:15.issues to discuss. We will start with the fabulous four. Roger

:01:15. > :01:25.Federer's opponent today was Jo- Wilfried Tsonga, known for his

:01:25. > :01:34.

:01:34. > :01:42.Federer was looking for his 60th singles victory at Wimbledon.

:01:42. > :01:46.Tsonga has been serving well, and of course he got to the finals at

:01:46. > :01:53.Queen's. For the bookmakers, there was only one possible outcome to

:01:53. > :02:03.this match. It looked as though they had got this ban on in the

:02:03. > :02:41.

:02:41. > :02:51.After Federer won the first set, Tsonga got back into the game. We

:02:51. > :03:09.

:03:09. > :03:19.find ourselves in a second set tie- Suddenly, Federer has got the bit

:03:19. > :03:19.

:03:19. > :03:25.between his teeth. He was hitting the ball so powerfully today. It is

:03:25. > :03:35.not often you see Federer stranded like that. Hitting the ball like

:03:35. > :03:37.

:03:37. > :03:47.that, as hard as that, samba found himself 5-4 up in the third set. --

:08:38. > :09:44.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 99 seconds

:09:44. > :09:51.Superbly resistance from Federer. Deuce. Tsonga is becoming a little

:09:51. > :10:01.bit predictable. He goes for the same corner as every time. -- he

:10:01. > :10:18.

:10:18. > :10:28.goes for the same corners every That's the serve that got him all

:10:28. > :10:29.

:10:29. > :10:39.the way to the Australian Open final. It might bring him Miss set.

:10:39. > :10:50.

:10:50. > :10:54.Some pictures do not need words. Just savour that scan and. In a

:10:54. > :11:03.week where boxing metaphors at everywhere, this was turning into a

:11:03. > :11:13.Samba was throwing the punches and Federer was having to take them --

:11:13. > :11:23.

:11:23. > :11:33.Tsonga was throwing the punches and This is an interesting stage of

:11:33. > :12:07.

:12:07. > :12:17.That was a very nice backhand from Tsonga. No complaint from Federer,

:12:17. > :12:40.

:12:40. > :12:45.He has showcased this single handed back hander. He did not have it the

:12:45. > :12:51.last time I know it! He is really enjoying it. He looks like Stefan

:12:51. > :12:55.Edberg. Maybe you should think about playing it more often single-

:12:56. > :13:05.handed. -- maybe he should think about playing it more often single

:13:06. > :13:23.

:13:23. > :13:33.Tsonga is looking to turn this into a muscle match, and no one is

:13:33. > :14:04.

:14:04. > :14:14.And Tillakaratne Dilshan break That is what usually happens.

:14:14. > :14:14.

:14:14. > :14:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 99 seconds

:14:54. > :15:00.Phaidra really was rocking and rolling here. Tsonga was a victim

:15:00. > :15:06.the most unbelievable a lot of punishment on him. -- Federer

:15:07. > :15:16.really was rocking and rolling here. Two set all. All that Tsonga needed

:15:16. > :15:22.was to get one break. This is what happened. Surely, Federer would

:15:22. > :15:32.find a way out of this situation. He had never been two set up in a

:15:32. > :15:32.

:15:32. > :15:42.Grand Slam situation and lost. Here is Jo-Wilfried sombre -- here is

:15:42. > :15:51.

:15:51. > :16:01.Jo-Wilfried sombre, to send Federer There he is, twisting and shouting

:16:01. > :16:03.

:16:03. > :16:11.How does it feel to have not the mighty Roger Federer out? He is the

:16:12. > :16:18.biggest champion. He achieved a lot of things. He is the best player in

:16:18. > :16:27.the world. I am so happy to win against him, especially on grass.

:16:27. > :16:34.It is one of his favourite surfaces. I am so happy today. Throughout the

:16:34. > :16:44.match, I did not give him much, but there was a lucky break in the

:16:44. > :16:45.

:16:45. > :16:55.third set for him. He played well throughout the match. Especially he

:16:55. > :17:18.

:17:18. > :17:28.served well. He played incredibly you ever think, Boris, that Tsonga

:17:28. > :18:02.

:18:02. > :18:06.lapses. He does not ready put Tsonga was the man of the moment.

:18:06. > :18:12.Some of the headline-writers are already writing about a swansong.

:18:12. > :18:22.Is this the end of Federer in terms of being a Grand Slam champion? It

:18:22. > :18:33.

:18:33. > :18:43.He played so well at the French Open and showed the world it is not

:18:43. > :18:54.

:18:54. > :19:01.just about Djokovic. They changed the grass about a

:19:01. > :19:09.decade ago, they grow it longer. The balls were like pellets, that

:19:09. > :19:15.suited him, he was more aggressive. I think it will be tough for him to

:19:15. > :19:21.win this championship. Is it six Grand Slams that Federer has not

:19:21. > :19:30.won? A year-and-a-half has gone by since he won the title. Time is not

:19:30. > :19:34.on his side, let's be honest. 16 Grand Slam wins, a wife and two

:19:34. > :19:39.beautiful children. Why should he trained even more? He has done it

:19:39. > :19:47.all. That is the question for himself, where his motivation will

:19:47. > :19:57.It is fascinating to think what might happen with Federer in the

:19:57. > :20:07.future. Rafael Nadal is the second member of hour fabulous four. Would

:20:07. > :20:27.

:20:27. > :20:37.Mardy Fish is from Minnesota. He is playing against the defending

:20:37. > :20:40.

:20:40. > :20:48.champion, who dropped just one set so far. The formbook was a day to

:20:48. > :20:53.as far as the first set was concerned. The big question was how

:20:53. > :21:03.would the foot be after he had that slight injury? There was no sign of

:21:03. > :21:06.

:21:06. > :21:16.any problems. I am amazed by it Nadal. I thought he would pull out.

:21:16. > :21:42.

:21:42. > :21:47.Next thing you know, he is running What Amman this is, I have never

:21:47. > :21:51.seen a player like Nadal in my seen a player like Nadal in my

:21:51. > :21:56.lifetime. In the end, Nadal came through safely. His face just told

:21:56. > :21:59.you how delighted he was to have you how delighted he was to have

:21:59. > :22:09.overcome yet another opponent. Did your foot give you much

:22:09. > :22:12.

:22:12. > :22:22.trouble? It is better. I am fine. The previous match was tough for me.

:22:22. > :22:22.

:22:22. > :22:25.For a moment I did not know if I had a serious injury. But with

:22:25. > :22:29.antiinflammatories, it seemed to work.

:22:29. > :22:35.If Federer has got to the top of the hill and is perhaps heading

:22:35. > :22:41.slightly down, is Nadal still improving? I think so. He thrives

:22:41. > :22:47.on competition, he is the ultimate competitor, the more adversity, the

:22:47. > :22:51.better and meaner he gets. He is only 25, he has 10 Grand Slams. If

:22:51. > :22:57.he stays healthy, I don't know how many more times he will win.

:22:57. > :23:05.Federer has set the bar. You always need somebody to catch, for Nadal,

:23:05. > :23:13.it is Federer's 16. To tie Bjorn Borg's record of six French Opens,

:23:13. > :23:19.and now he wants to tie Federer's record of six Wimbledons.

:23:19. > :23:24.Rafael Nadal conscious of this? Is he a record chaser? He comes across

:23:24. > :23:28.very soft spoken, Humble, almost an introvert when out in public, but

:23:28. > :23:31.once he puts those tennis shoes on, that is the last thing you want to

:23:31. > :23:35.face across the net. A back with the Fab Four in a

:23:35. > :23:44.moment, but let's consider the women's semi-finals. Logic says it

:23:44. > :23:48.will be Maria Sharapova against Victoria Azarenka in the final on

:23:48. > :23:52.Saturday... The German! Hang on a moment, we are coming on to that.

:23:52. > :24:02.That is the point of the next item, which is about a German play and

:24:02. > :24:02.

:24:02. > :24:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 99 seconds

:24:45. > :24:52.somebody from the Czech Republic How good is your German?

:24:52. > :24:58.reached the semi-final. She had injuries and was not playing tennis

:24:58. > :25:07.for quite a long time. Suddenly she is back in Wimbledon, playing her

:25:07. > :25:16.best. Anything could happen. There has been a lull in German tennis.

:25:16. > :25:22.Might she be taking it forward again? We hope so. We are been

:25:22. > :25:27.waiting for so long. Steffi Graf put the bar sky high. We wanted to

:25:27. > :25:32.have a good semi-final and hopefully come out on top. Tell us

:25:32. > :25:37.about Petra Kvitova there, and a fantastic serve. I think she has

:25:37. > :25:43.one of the best serves in the women's game. She remind you of

:25:43. > :25:47.Martina Navratilova with her serve. She plays well on all surfaces. I

:25:47. > :25:54.think she is starting to get to her peak. I would not be surprised if

:25:54. > :26:04.she went to the finals. So you predictions are? In all honesty, I

:26:04. > :26:07.

:26:07. > :26:11.think Sharapova is better, and also Victoria Azarenka. I'm going to go

:26:11. > :26:21.with Petra Kvitova -- I'm going to go with Petra Kvitova, with

:26:21. > :26:23.

:26:23. > :26:33.Sharapova winning the title. Bernard Tomic is leading the new-

:26:33. > :26:57.

:26:57. > :27:01.# You say you want a revolution Djokovic, player favourite.

:27:01. > :27:11.Determined to reach his first Wimbledon final. Tonic was not

:27:11. > :27:21.

:27:21. > :27:31.overawed. It was like a tale of two cities. Bernard Tomic was

:27:31. > :27:34.

:27:34. > :27:40.sensational. Here we are end the second set, where Bernard Tomic was

:27:41. > :27:48.very much in the ascendancy. He is playing the world number two, and

:27:48. > :27:58.he is taking him to the cleaners. Pete hitting the ball so hard. --

:27:58. > :28:02.

:28:02. > :28:11.he is hitting the ball so hard. Here we are in the third set.

:28:11. > :28:17.Bernard Tomic get a break. Nobody on Court One knew what was

:28:17. > :28:25.happening on Centre Court. This was the quality of the tennis for the

:28:25. > :28:35.first two or three games of the third set. Here's Djokovic, turning

:28:35. > :28:53.

:28:53. > :29:03.That's when the game started This is where Bernard Tomic needs

:29:03. > :29:10.

:29:10. > :29:20.to take some extra time. He has to A bad unforced error from Djokovic,

:29:20. > :29:41.

:29:41. > :29:51.Not much margin for error in Bernard Tomic's game. When he get

:29:51. > :29:59.

:29:59. > :30:09.nervous, the unforced errors start Both men have their problems, there

:30:09. > :30:21.

:30:21. > :30:31.issues. You start to fear for Five points, five unforced errors!

:30:31. > :30:41.

:30:41. > :30:47.Djokovic has not really done much, A horrible, horrible service game

:30:47. > :30:56.from Bernard Tomic. At this point, Tomic was playing

:30:56. > :31:06.horrible tennis. Djokovic found himself two sets to one to the good

:31:06. > :31:37.

:31:37. > :31:47.and got an early break in the 4th It is quite frustrating, the harder

:31:47. > :31:57.

:31:57. > :32:07.Djokovic hits the ball, the better It has been a long time since Tomic

:32:07. > :32:21.

:32:21. > :32:25.had a double fault, that is his Now it is Tomic's turn to suffer.

:32:26. > :32:35.He is doing the right thing, taking a little extra time and not rushing

:32:36. > :32:36.

:32:36. > :33:26.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 99 seconds

:33:26. > :33:36.UMPIRE: Mr Djokovic is challenging It was long. Why did you tell him

:33:36. > :33:36.

:33:36. > :34:17.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 99 seconds

:34:17. > :34:27.That was not a great return. An Thinking about the challenge, but

:34:27. > :34:29.

:34:29. > :34:39.And after being so close to claiming the set, Tomic faces break

:34:39. > :34:39.

:34:39. > :35:27.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 99 seconds

:35:27. > :35:35.What a caress to finish it! Djokovic is closing in now, closing

:35:35. > :35:44.into the semi-finals. Djokovic was not to be denied. Here

:35:44. > :35:51.he is serving 40-15. Tomic could not get to that ball, so another

:35:51. > :35:53.semi-final for Novak Djokovic. Will he be here on Sunday on Centre

:35:53. > :35:59.Court for his first Wimbledon Court for his first Wimbledon

:35:59. > :36:03.final? Well done. A really tricky match.

:36:03. > :36:08.You are playing somebody you know very well, it is like beating up

:36:08. > :36:13.your kid brother, but you what through to the semi-final. I am

:36:13. > :36:18.delighted to be through. It is a great result. It was a very equal

:36:18. > :36:22.match today. The first set I played quite well, I played one very bad

:36:22. > :36:30.service game, he got back into the match. From that moment he was the

:36:30. > :36:36.better player. I had some very, very difficult service games that I

:36:36. > :36:43.managed to hold. He was up and the third end you got back on track.

:36:43. > :36:47.What caused the reversal of fortunes? He is such an

:36:47. > :36:51.unpredictable player. He is very young. His first Grand Slam

:36:51. > :36:57.quarter-finals, it means a lot, he had nothing to lose. He was hitting

:36:57. > :37:03.a lot of winners, it was hard to predict where he would go. He was

:37:03. > :37:08.not making a lot of unforced errors. That made it really difficult. I

:37:08. > :37:13.have tried to change the pace, but he was better. It was playing cat

:37:13. > :37:18.and mouse. I was just happy to get through in the end. We will talk

:37:18. > :37:21.about the cat in a moment, but as far as Tomic being a mouse, foreign

:37:21. > :37:25.18 year-olds he has had an amazing two-and-a-half weeks, coming

:37:25. > :37:32.through qualifying, his first Grand Slam quarter-finals, he is clearly

:37:32. > :37:37.a man on the move? Yes. The youngest guy to get to the quarter-

:37:37. > :37:41.finals was the man standing behind me, Boris Becker... Last century!

:37:41. > :37:47.If you think of the last teenager in the quarter-finals, Roger

:37:47. > :37:50.Federer, the pedigree is looking very good. He has a very

:37:50. > :37:56.interesting game. He changes the pace, deflect the ball, plays very

:37:56. > :38:01.flat, he is someone to look out for. He has played an awful lot of

:38:01. > :38:06.tennis in the last two-and-a-half weeks, did he just get tired?

:38:06. > :38:13.especially when he was up 3-1, he went walkabout for seven games. He

:38:13. > :38:17.might have been mentally fatigued, he had played eight matches. It

:38:17. > :38:20.maybe was a little bit too much tennis, but he will be very proud.

:38:20. > :38:25.What do you think about how brilliant Djokovic has been all the

:38:25. > :38:31.way through to the epic semi-final at Roland Garros? Do you detect he

:38:31. > :38:36.is slightly off his game? He was maybe tested today, I don't really

:38:36. > :38:44.believe he was tested and the other matches. He is flying under the

:38:44. > :38:48.radar. He lost only one match to Roger Federer. He has won six other

:38:48. > :38:53.tournaments, beating Nadal back-to- back, clay, but nobody talks about

:38:53. > :38:57.it. He is fine with that, he has experienced, he is in the semi-

:38:57. > :39:02.finals. He is not playing his best tennis but he was not challenged

:39:02. > :39:05.today. He is under the radar because he does not move as well on

:39:05. > :39:11.the grass courts, I don't see him as comfortable. You think he can

:39:11. > :39:16.win the other three majors, on the grass, I am not too sure. Tsonga

:39:16. > :39:20.has a great record at 5-2 against him, but I bet he feels good about

:39:20. > :39:26.his chances. Now the last of the FA before, our

:39:26. > :39:36.man, a bigger and somebody who, if you believe the papers, has rather

:39:36. > :39:47.

:39:47. > :39:53.Murray was eyeing a third Grand Slam semi-final this year, but

:39:53. > :40:00.Feliciano Lopez was probably wielding the most potent weapon in

:40:00. > :40:10.the entire draw, his serve, he has 22 aces more than anyone else. It

:40:10. > :40:11.

:40:11. > :40:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 99 seconds

:40:55. > :40:59.Maybe a little closer than he thought when he went for the

:40:59. > :41:09.challenge, but more out of frustration for losing it. He has

:41:09. > :41:28.

:41:28. > :41:38.Just a cup of these early exchanges, you feel Murray has had lost

:41:38. > :41:54.

:41:54. > :42:01.chances, and he would like to get He has pecked him back to deuce,

:42:01. > :42:11.but he might have got a break. His instincts were right, he would have

:42:11. > :42:33.

:42:33. > :42:43.had a second serve that 0-30. -- For me, the best returner in the

:42:43. > :43:12.

:43:12. > :43:22.It is the solid 121 mph second serve. Brave when you make it and

:43:22. > :43:22.

:43:22. > :45:09.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 99 seconds

:45:09. > :45:15.Credit to Lopez, he took his chance Lewis Hamilton with his brother.

:45:15. > :45:19.Enjoying their time here. It has not been such an enjoyable time for

:45:20. > :45:29.Lewis Hamilton in F1 recently, he will hope his fortunes change for

:45:30. > :45:55.

:45:55. > :45:59.Murray was just frustrated he could not get more on the return. It was

:45:59. > :46:09.a good second serve into the body but he really needed to get the

:46:09. > :46:31.

:46:31. > :46:41.ball deep or onto the Lopez The Spaniard has shown good

:46:41. > :46:53.

:46:53. > :47:03.It was broken that time. The best return of the first set.

:47:03. > :47:10.

:47:10. > :47:14.The familiar clenching of the first, Six games to three, muted applause

:47:14. > :47:20.in the players' box. Given what happened UN Centre Court earlier,

:47:21. > :47:28.you never quite knew what would happen. But in the second set...

:47:28. > :47:31.Some great play from Murray. So easy.

:47:31. > :47:41.Two sets up, things going swimmingly, but the Spaniard was

:47:41. > :47:57.

:47:57. > :48:03.not going to lie down. Some lovely Doing to Murray what Murray often

:48:03. > :48:05.does to everybody else. Two games does to everybody else. Two games

:48:05. > :48:13.all, this is the time for Murray to kick on all four Lopez to fight

:48:13. > :48:23.back into contention. -- for Murray to pick on, or for Lopez to fight

:48:23. > :48:54.

:48:54. > :49:04.Ever since the physio came on court, Murray does not want to waste more

:52:20. > :52:26.Handling the occasion, you have been there before, will you be any

:52:26. > :52:33.less nervous or will it be the same as previously? I want to be nervous

:52:33. > :52:37.going into the match. That is important, it shows that you care,

:52:37. > :52:47.but once you get out there you have to make sure that nerves do not

:52:47. > :52:50.cloud your way of thinking. Maybe as you want them to, and you are

:52:50. > :52:57.thinking clearly out there. Let's talk Murray Nadal in a moment,

:52:57. > :52:59.but what about Murray today? He had a perfect game against Lopez, he is

:52:59. > :53:05.one of the best returners in the game against potentially the best

:53:05. > :53:10.server. The grass is not as fast as it was, the balls are slower.

:53:10. > :53:16.Pretty much from the get go Murray was the favourite to win. I have to

:53:16. > :53:22.agree. I thought he would be successful before the match.

:53:22. > :53:26.frog came out of my throat! It was one of those matches where you knew

:53:26. > :53:31.Murray was not going to lose, but he was very convincing. The only

:53:31. > :53:37.problem was he hurt his groin slightly in the third set, we are

:53:37. > :53:42.hoping he is 100% healthy for Rafael Nadal. Nadal has a bad foot.

:53:42. > :53:46.But for a man with a bad foot, he moved well today. We will talk

:53:46. > :53:55.about the semi-finals in a moment, but we still have action going on.

:53:55. > :53:59.The draws are thinning out, a lot The only other British males still

:53:59. > :54:04.in singles action, Liam Broady, be the junior world number 1 for the

:54:05. > :54:09.single time in as many tournaments today. The 17 year-old from

:54:09. > :54:12.Stockport knocked out his opponent 6-4, 7-5, to reach the quarter-

:54:12. > :54:17.finals. After becoming the first British

:54:17. > :54:26.duo in 18 years to reach the quarter-finals of the Men's Doubles,

:54:26. > :54:31.Colin Fleming and Hutchins were beaten.

:54:31. > :54:34.Looking for their 11th Grand Slam Men's Doubles titles, the Bryan

:54:34. > :54:39.brothers entered the last eight after surviving a five-set epic.

:54:39. > :54:44.Resuming at 3-3 against Paul Hanley of Australia and Simon Aspelin of

:54:44. > :54:49.Sweden after play was suspended yesterday, they broke a final set

:54:49. > :54:55.deadlock to win by 16 games to 14. The match lasted a total of four

:54:55. > :54:58.hours, 11 minutes. Fellow Americans Liezel Huber and

:54:58. > :55:05.Lisa Raymond finished on the losing end of their marathon match in the

:55:05. > :55:12.Women's Doubles quarter-finals. After taking the first set, they

:55:12. > :55:17.lost in the third 13-11. No day of four wildcard semi-finalists Sabine

:55:17. > :55:21.Lisicki. Ahead of her showdown with Sharapova tomorrow, she was busy

:55:21. > :55:26.marching into the Ladies' Doubles quarter-finals with partner

:55:26. > :55:31.Samantha Stosur. If Sabine Lisicki has a rival for

:55:31. > :55:34.anybody who smiles as much on the tennis court, I think it would be

:55:34. > :55:39.Heather Watson of Britain, but sadly she and Ross Hutchins went

:55:39. > :55:42.out of their match, which you might have watched earlier on BBC Two. It

:55:42. > :55:48.was not a great day all round for Ross Hutchins, having lost in the

:55:48. > :55:53.men's and Mixed Doubles. Colin Fleming lost as his doubles partner,

:55:53. > :55:59.Fleming lost as his doubles partner, but here he is, one set all, and he

:55:59. > :56:03.might yet win with Jocelyn Rae. Laura Robson is in the crowd

:56:03. > :56:11.watching that. Well done to them. Looking at what is happening

:56:11. > :56:14.tomorrow, women's semi-finals day. Boris Becker, as we look at the

:56:14. > :56:16.wonderful outline of Battersea wonderful outline of Battersea

:56:16. > :56:23.Power Station, listed four reasons that sometimes as gay people, but

:56:23. > :56:27.tonight it looks fantastic, the attitude that Sabine Lisicki has,

:56:27. > :56:33.she makes a mistake and smiles, can you do that and be a champion?

:56:33. > :56:38.could not, but I am sure the players can. It is good to see. She

:56:38. > :56:45.is on the comeback trail. She had a is on the comeback trail. She had a

:56:45. > :56:50.day off. She has a good time, why not? I look at Sharapova, she looks

:56:50. > :56:54.like a woman on a mission. They had but windy day when she lost to Li

:56:54. > :56:58.Na, that was the only time she could not win. From round one she

:56:58. > :57:02.does not give an inch to anybody, that is why I think she is the

:57:02. > :57:05.favourite. After an epic day, this favourite. After an epic day, this

:57:05. > :57:11.is the semi-final line-up that we have for Friday afternoon for the

:57:11. > :57:16.men's. Who will win? I pick Nadal from the

:57:16. > :57:24.beginning of the Championships, my heart says Murray but my head says

:57:24. > :57:26.Nadal. Tsonga/Djokovic is fascinating. From Tsonga's

:57:26. > :57:32.performance today, I think there performance today, I think there

:57:32. > :57:37.could be an upset. I will go with Murray. Hopefully. It is his time.

:57:37. > :57:43.I have not seen him play so well. He went through to the quarter-

:57:43. > :57:47.finals, Nadal, I think he is still a bit injured with the ankle. The

:57:47. > :57:53.more he runs, you will feel it eventually. More importantly, I

:57:53. > :57:59.feel it is Andy Murray's time. Tsonga is the man at the moment,

:57:59. > :58:03.but can he do it two matches in a row? I put my money on Djokovic.

:58:03. > :58:08.Could we have a repeat of the Queen's final, Tsonga against

:58:08. > :58:13.Murray? It has only happened once in history, Connors and McEnroe,

:58:13. > :58:17.1982, the same result at Queen's and Wimbledon. Wouldn't that be

:58:18. > :58:22.fabulous? And if the final at Wimbledon on Sunday was as good a

:58:22. > :58:25.final as the one at Queen's. It is an extraordinary day. You would

:58:25. > :58:29.never have thought that Federer would have found himself two sets

:58:29. > :58:33.up and going out in five, the first time it has ever happened to

:58:33. > :58:36.arguably the greatest player in the world in his entire Grand Slam
