:01:03. > :01:12.fun. We may have bigger balls in The usual suspects return, there is
:01:12. > :01:21.him and him and him and him. And her and her and her and her. They
:01:21. > :01:28.are always together. And then there is him! Game, set and match, the
:01:28. > :01:38.Wimbledon dream has come true. They would not be Wimbledon without
:01:38. > :01:38.
:01:38. > :01:43.her and him. -- it would not be. Hello. Where is our pens?! Cutbacks.
:01:43. > :01:49.You have no idea how bad things are. I have heard about the debt crisis
:01:49. > :01:54.here. It is getting worse. Take care of us. Not too many Greeks on
:01:54. > :01:58.the courts today. As sure as night follows day, our first highlights
:01:58. > :02:01.the show follows the elimination of an England football team but at
:02:02. > :02:07.least we qualify which has more than Serbia did. But they do have a
:02:07. > :02:11.tennis player who is quite good. He is of is the thinking of an
:02:11. > :02:16.alternative sporting option! A publicity stunt but it worked
:02:16. > :02:20.because we are talking about it. Novak Djokovic seemed in a very
:02:20. > :02:24.relaxed mood as he began the defence of his title because for
:02:24. > :02:28.the disappointment of that defeat in Paris a couple of weeks ago this
:02:28. > :02:38.at Wimbledon was a tournament which kick-started his amazing run of
:02:38. > :02:53.
:02:54. > :03:03.last year that included three Grand Last time we saw him he was
:03:04. > :03:05.
:03:05. > :03:10.defeated by Nadal in Paris. Juan Carlos Ferrero was No. 1 but that
:03:10. > :03:16.was a lot of years ago. He has not played in a couple of weeks, moving
:03:16. > :03:26.gingerly. Once he got... He was down a break but once they were cut,
:03:26. > :03:29.
:03:29. > :03:36.that was the end of the match. -- When you are that flexible, you get
:03:36. > :03:41.away with it! We have got some work to do in the gym. I think we do.
:03:41. > :03:45.was just what the doctor ordered at the end of the day. I thought it
:03:46. > :03:52.was a good start to his campaign. There has to be some disappointment
:03:52. > :03:57.from just two weeks ago losing to Nadal but it was a great match. To
:03:57. > :04:03.get down and break early, he then pretty much cruised. Is there any
:04:03. > :04:08.mental Hanover from Paris do you think and losing the opportunity to
:04:08. > :04:15.be the first man ever to hold or four titles at the same time?
:04:15. > :04:18.opportunity comes around once-in-a- lifetime. This is why the
:04:18. > :04:23.tournament is so interesting because you are not really sure how
:04:23. > :04:27.he will react. Will he relax and play better? Or will he be bombed
:04:27. > :04:36.out about the loss. The other point is that he has played a lot of
:04:36. > :04:41.close matches. He has stepped it up. That takes its toll on you. That is
:04:41. > :04:47.what I worry about. If we are being amateur psychologists here, he
:04:47. > :04:51.seemed very chilled today. There could be a level of pressure that
:04:51. > :04:54.is now off them. There was so much going into Paris and he tried so
:04:54. > :05:01.hard to get through the well for some the match and he did not have
:05:01. > :05:08.it all against Nadal and quite possibly he will be freer now.
:05:08. > :05:16.is the difference between Djokovic on grass and clay? On clay, I think
:05:16. > :05:23.it was a great effort to get to the final but always Nadal even Bjorn
:05:23. > :05:25.Borg said a is the greatest ever to play. He can be a little appetite
:05:26. > :05:34.earlier in the tournament. I think he is more vulnerable because the
:05:34. > :05:38.has not played any matches. Early on he is vulnerable but as he gets
:05:38. > :05:44.more intimate, he will be more difficult to beat. Final point on
:05:44. > :05:49.the Djokovic and the Paris escapade, how sad way you to see the little
:05:49. > :05:53.bit of history go? I was cheering for Djokovic. That was the one
:05:53. > :05:56.thing that could put him in the same category as Federer and Nadal.
:05:56. > :06:02.He could do something that those two could not achieve and probably
:06:02. > :06:06.will not achieve. It will be very tough to see the a male players
:06:06. > :06:11.hold for in a row again. You could see the sadness and disappointment
:06:12. > :06:17.with him on court that day. I am not quite sure he deserve that as
:06:17. > :06:23.yet compared to Nadal and Federer. Because? Federer has prize have
:06:23. > :06:32.that chance and Nadal once. I am not sure he has... Is Nadal a great
:06:32. > :06:38.player? And Federer? No doubt about it. Is Djokovic a great player?
:06:38. > :06:45.is a great player but he is not as great yet. There are degrees of
:06:45. > :06:55.greatness. He would have blown by some people that I am not going to
:06:55. > :06:59.
:06:59. > :07:03.mention! Great, great players. Our ranking sq keep dropping. 28 out of
:07:03. > :07:07.the last 29 titles between the three of them. This man has been as
:07:07. > :07:11.perennial as the grass here, Federer. Playing Albert Ramos of
:07:12. > :07:17.Spain ranked 43 in the world today although it is fair to say not on
:07:17. > :07:21.grass. Federer cruise from the get go and so a comfortable on the
:07:21. > :07:26.surface. Albert Ramos wanted to be on anything other than grass in
:07:26. > :07:33.this match. This used to be worthy guys who came from Spain collected
:07:33. > :07:37.pay cheques. They did not care about what happened at Wimbledon.
:07:37. > :07:41.That has changed because of Nadal. This was a total mismatch. This is
:07:41. > :07:45.exactly what you thought in the past when you played a guy who did
:07:45. > :07:50.not want anything to do with grass. This is the type of opening you
:07:50. > :08:00.cannot get any sort of an idea what kind of thing is in store for
:08:00. > :08:03.
:08:03. > :08:10.Federer. I pick Federer. You like what you saw? I watched a little
:08:10. > :08:18.bit of it but as ice-cool the developing I was not too concerned
:08:18. > :08:22.-- as the score developed. Why have you gone for Federer? I think
:08:22. > :08:26.physically it takes a lot for anyone to beat two out of the three
:08:26. > :08:29.it much less three out of the four and I think on grass it is less of
:08:29. > :08:33.an effort physically for him to have to beat Djokovic and Nadal. I
:08:33. > :08:40.think he has got more variety to his game and this is his best
:08:40. > :08:45.chance to win another major. He is more comfortable coming in.
:08:45. > :08:47.Especially these early rounds, save some energy and then use that play
:08:47. > :08:57.against possibly Djokovic in the semi-finals and we will see who
:08:57. > :09:03.gets through... I could not agree more. Come on?! Get the but in!
:09:03. > :09:07.is one of them coming in against Albert Ramos. He has got to
:09:07. > :09:13.transfer in the matches. Can you mentally? I do not think he can
:09:13. > :09:17.walk on against Albert Ramos and I do not think he believes that. He
:09:17. > :09:22.needs to do that. He has got to be more aggressive to beat both of the
:09:22. > :09:32.guys. 1999, Federer's first Wimbledon here. He lost in the
:09:32. > :09:42.first round to? He lost two... Help me out. I have no idea. Shall I
:09:42. > :09:45.
:09:45. > :09:49.tell you? Tell me. Novak. Venus Williams also played her first
:09:49. > :09:59.Wimbledon and lost in the first round. I don't know. Lindsay
:09:59. > :10:01.
:10:01. > :10:05.Davenport? The Polish player. Venus Williams, when you talk about great
:10:05. > :10:12.players, people talk about how many years they will be playing. We know
:10:12. > :10:18.all about her health problems. It was not a great start. Venus
:10:18. > :10:24.Williams was not at her best. But certainly in the first set, it
:10:24. > :10:34.seemed as though she was not quite with it. She seemed to slow from
:10:34. > :10:35.
:10:35. > :10:39.what we are used to seeing. She did not look like she was all there.
:10:39. > :10:45.Elena Vesnina was always going to be a tough match. Venus Williams
:10:45. > :10:52.was lacking energy fast up that was the first set to Elena Vesnina of
:10:52. > :11:02.Russia. Picking it up in the second set, it is 3-2 to the Russian.
:11:02. > :11:11.
:11:11. > :11:21.Venus Williams needs to get back Just caught the edge of the
:11:21. > :11:21.
:11:21. > :11:31.baseline. She has got such long arms and she jumps up so high for
:11:31. > :11:58.
:11:59. > :12:08.the overhead shots, you do not know Much more alert on her toes and
:12:09. > :12:39.
:12:39. > :12:43.altogether looking more comfortable Very nice indeed. I like the way
:12:43. > :12:53.Elena Vesnina is quite light on her feet, almost jumping into the
:12:53. > :13:14.
:13:14. > :13:24.She was going to rip that anyway but the serve came through too fast
:13:24. > :14:03.
:14:03. > :14:09.A dangerous time for Venus Williams. Just taking a few extra moments to
:14:09. > :14:19.compose herself because this is keep. She could really do with a

:14:36. > :14:42.The second serve was punished. was good. That was really
:14:42. > :14:49.absolutely the right thing to do. Such a big point, a tiny bit of
:14:49. > :14:59.momentum going her way and with two points already won and how well she
:14:59. > :15:31.
:15:31. > :15:35.That's a very rapidly became her 5- 2, and as we rejoin it, Venus and
:15:35. > :15:45.aliens needs to win this service game otherwise she is out of

:15:51. > :16:01.It's pretty good serve. Out wide. With that extra height and long
:16:01. > :16:02.
:16:02. > :16:12.arms, she can angle off the ball well. I would challenge that. She
:16:12. > :16:12.
:16:12. > :16:22.is not big unchallenging. -- on challenging. She likes to just go
:16:22. > :16:28.
:16:28. > :16:38.She famously had the umpire called the wrong score on her here at
:16:38. > :16:56.
:16:56. > :17:06.Wimbledon. She did not challenge The line judge was in the firing
:17:06. > :17:07.

:17:17. > :17:37.
:17:37. > :17:44.from the game. She was a good Down-the-line. When Venus Williams
:17:44. > :17:49.arrived to on the court, about an hour and a quarter ago, we wondered
:17:49. > :17:55.how long she would last. She did not look as though she was
:17:55. > :18:05.particularly happy. She is showing some late resistance. This is a
:18:05. > :18:05.
:18:05. > :18:51.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds
:18:51. > :19:01.Elena Vesnina has withstood the I would say Venus is a different

:20:08. > :20:11.shoelaces and guided it into the corner of the court.
:20:11. > :20:21.considering the score and the tension she must have, what a

:20:32. > :20:40.Yes! A stunning ace down the centre. Her quicker serve after 110 miles

:21:09. > :21:17.a smile for the umpire from Venus Williams as she bows out at the
:21:17. > :21:21.first round stage of Wimbledon 2012. There is an inevitability about the
:21:21. > :21:28.media always respond when a greater former champion finally leaves the

:21:36. > :21:44.Rest assured, she is not going anywhere.
:21:44. > :21:49.I don't get upset at myself anymore. I stayed positive. Wimbledon has
:21:49. > :21:56.been a wonderful torment for me. I will continue to work on my game
:21:56. > :22:01.and my health. Come back and try to play better. You now have the
:22:01. > :22:07.doubles to focus on? It is so important for me because I had not
:22:07. > :22:14.played doubles in a long time and Serena and I would like to defend
:22:14. > :22:19.our Championship at the Olympics. I am definitely going to focus, if I
:22:19. > :22:26.can, to get the title. Will we see you back here next year? A row
:22:26. > :22:31.would love to come back. How much are her health issues
:22:31. > :22:36.leading to those kind of performances? It is the reality and
:22:36. > :22:42.the battle she will face every day, every match and every practice. It
:22:42. > :22:48.is sad when you saw her out there, she is so far from 100%. He she
:22:48. > :22:58.does want to be back at the top but she is also back Best past 30 years
:22:58. > :23:01.
:23:01. > :23:09.old. I really felt bad. She has been so bad here. It is an
:23:09. > :23:14.incredible difference. I don't know what impact the disease has on what
:23:14. > :23:18.is happening. Maybe the doctor is saying in six months and you will
:23:18. > :23:26.be OK and you will be able to play up to your abilities for what your
:23:26. > :23:34.ages. There is people like Martina Navratilova he was in her mid-30s
:23:34. > :23:40.when she last won it. But she can come back and be a dangerous
:23:40. > :23:48.opponent. For you to be a former champion and not to be able to come
:23:49. > :23:54.back and play at your usual level,? I had that for many years. No where
:23:54. > :24:00.is the pleasure? As you get all the, you realise how lucky you are to
:24:00. > :24:06.have a job and to be able to do something like this. Deep down,
:24:06. > :24:09.because in some ways we're champions, you talk yourself into
:24:09. > :24:16.thinking it the right set of circumstances took place, maybe you
:24:16. > :24:24.could win. If they media for still her unlike doubt the other players?
:24:24. > :24:34.We saw from Pete Sampras -- Pete Sampras, a year ago into his last

:25:02. > :25:06.Heather Watson is playing. For Heather Watson is playing. For
:25:06. > :25:14.Sharapova started like a rocket. The world No. 1 was fantastic
:25:14. > :25:19.against Rodionova. Other people must be thinking, watch out. 18 of
:25:19. > :25:23.the first 20 points was just cruising through the opening set.
:25:23. > :25:30.She was hitting the ball Bay, serving well. She has improved so
:25:30. > :25:40.many things about her game, fitness, forehand, serve, she is looking
:25:40. > :25:40.
:25:40. > :25:46.like the favourite. It is her movement. She was sliding. She is
:25:46. > :25:56.proving herself now. She was just one of many leading contenders in
:25:56. > :25:56.
:25:56. > :26:03.action on this opening day. It could be a four-night of putting
:26:03. > :26:13.names to faces, faces to names. Agnieszka Radwanska is the world No.

:26:33. > :26:41.Li Na is not what you call a Wimbledon's celebrity. Book there
:26:41. > :26:48.is room for that to change. It is a contented tonight in her household.
:26:48. > :26:58.Sam Stosur is big down Under but she could also be a Wimbledon force
:26:58. > :26:59.
:26:59. > :27:04.and phase. She won the US Open last year, and she beat Paola Suarez is
:27:04. > :27:14.no Barrow. Remember Sabine Lisicki? She
:27:14. > :27:17.
:27:17. > :27:25.reached last year's semi-finals. There was a winning smile for five
:27:25. > :27:34.rounds last year. Angelique Berber is seeded No. 8. Maybe this is a
:27:34. > :27:44.name to note after this straight sets victory. They may be new to
:27:44. > :27:48.
:27:48. > :27:58.you, but how much longer? So, is the women's draw wide-open?
:27:58. > :28:00.
:28:00. > :28:09.I don't think wide-open. Sharapova, Serena. I could not agree with her
:28:09. > :28:19.more. I don't see a whole lot happening. Obviously early rounds
:28:19. > :28:28.
:28:28. > :28:35.become unpredictable. His Sam Stosur contender? Not yet, she has
:28:35. > :28:39.never been to the second week. There is a positive sign she won
:28:39. > :28:44.this match the way she did, but she has to improve it leaps and bounds
:28:44. > :28:48.on grass. Let's move on to talk about the British challenge. For so
:28:48. > :28:54.long it has been Andy Murray for the men, but we need somebody to
:28:55. > :29:04.back him up. His Oliver Golding that a man? Once upon a time on the
:29:05. > :29:06.
:29:06. > :29:15.West End stage, his dream came true against Andreev. He did play a very
:29:15. > :29:20.well. He lost in four sets, but maybe he is a man for the future.
:29:20. > :29:30.This is the summer when everybody wants to be British. On court 17 at
:29:30. > :29:41.
:29:41. > :29:47.the moment so we have the latest British tennis player. Herceptin --
:29:47. > :29:57.Johanna Konta. She is a new Brits. She only became
:29:57. > :30:10.
:30:10. > :30:14.British last month, she is our of Hungarian descent. She is playing
:30:14. > :30:22.the American. At the general consensus is she could be a top 100
:30:22. > :30:27.player as long as she gets over We will keep you up-to-date with
:30:27. > :30:35.that. Donning of about Venus Williams, someone who said that
:30:35. > :30:40.unequivocally this is her last appearance at Wimbledon, Kim

:50:09. > :50:15.nation all my secrets. It is one of my biggest wins. I am glad I did
:50:15. > :50:21.not show in the end, as usual. It is progress. Interesting you should
:50:21. > :50:27.use the word, choke. You showed great mental strength. You kept it
:50:27. > :50:32.all together, how did you do that? And I am very well known for mental
:50:32. > :50:37.strength, ask around. I wish all post-match interviews
:50:38. > :50:44.well as entertaining. Very rarely you will get anything out of any
:50:44. > :50:50.player. It's a was self-deprecating, truthful. He got a lot of people,
:50:50. > :50:54.including me, it is the best match I have ever seen him play. I have
:50:54. > :50:59.always a wandered about him, under- achieving. He is living the life
:50:59. > :51:06.and not digging deep enough. It was an incredible effort. Three serves
:51:06. > :51:16.and volleys. It there was and three, it was erode. Your verdict on that
:51:16. > :51:18.
:51:18. > :51:23.is? Verdict on that is? There were no serve-and-volley is in the match.
:51:23. > :51:27.There was no serve-and-volley back in the day. I cannot believe I am
:51:27. > :51:37.hearing this. And cannot believe I am saying it. What else has
:51:37. > :51:38.
:51:38. > :51:45.happened in the men's game? Booted out of the Queen's finals
:51:45. > :51:50.for bringing blood Sue a lines man's leg, David Nalbandian was
:51:50. > :51:55.knocked out by Janko Tipsarevic sq in round one today but not before
:51:55. > :52:01.he became Tajik above the height of the net. I have never seen the net
:52:01. > :52:05.being led down at the end of this set. A let-down in every way for
:52:05. > :52:08.Nalbandian. He was swept off court where the Queen's incident a
:52:08. > :52:16.followed him to the press conference.
:52:16. > :52:25.I think people understood it wasn't a good thing that I did. I was very
:52:25. > :52:35.unlucky as well. This play is no shrinking violets. The Russian held
:52:35. > :52:36.
:52:36. > :52:46.it together enough to vanquish Donald Young. Richard Gasquet was
:52:46. > :52:52.so run a tea personified as Tobias Kamke was not. Gasquet goes on.
:52:53. > :52:58.John Isner had the epic of a match at Wimbledon two years ago and went
:52:58. > :53:08.the distance again today. But he lost this one to an unlikely
:53:08. > :53:15.
:53:15. > :53:21.Colombian. Burns by Alejandro Falla. You think Nicolas Mahut is on court
:53:21. > :53:31.at the moment. A few moments ago on Centre Court, Heather Watson at
:53:31. > :53:33.
:53:33. > :53:38.match point. That is a fantastic victory. Not just hard earned, but
:53:38. > :53:48.emphatic and making a statement on the Centre Court. That happened in
:53:48. > :53:50.
:53:50. > :53:57.the last couple of moments. She is overjoyed, understandably.
:53:57. > :54:01.Centre Court, how good is that? am so pleased. It was tough for not
:54:01. > :54:07.knowing when we would be on and waiting for a whole day. But it
:54:07. > :54:14.worked out very well. I am happy with that. Also it is my first
:54:14. > :54:18.singles win at Wimbledon, including juniors. I am so pleased. Yes, I
:54:18. > :54:25.will be looking forward to my next match. At the video no way you were
:54:25. > :54:34.going at the end of the match? I had no idea, I was lost in the
:54:34. > :54:39.moment. It is fantastic. It was a lovely smile from you when you won
:54:39. > :54:44.the 9th break point in the 6th game of the second set. You look like
:54:44. > :54:50.you were a bit aggrieved? We had a few long games. Will we were both
:54:50. > :54:56.at playing well and there wasn't much each of us could do. We just
:54:56. > :55:01.kept going back and forth. I think she got the last long game. I was
:55:01. > :55:07.pleased to get this one. I had nearly all of the break points, so
:55:07. > :55:12.I was pleased and relieved. Andrew Castle and Virginia Wade
:55:12. > :55:17.commentating for the BBC Four stock many congratulations.
:55:17. > :55:24.Can we get a second British player into the second round? This is
:55:24. > :55:32.Johanna Konta, British recently but nonetheless she is red white and
:55:32. > :55:42.blue. She is up against Christina McHale from the USA. I mentioned
:55:42. > :55:56.
:55:56. > :56:04.Nicolas Mahut who is playing Paolo They might call it quits because it
:56:04. > :56:14.is quite dark. Nuoro is one apiece against Mona Barthel. We have been
:56:14. > :56:18.
:56:18. > :56:23.enjoying the Men's Singles between Almagro and Olivier Rochus. Just to
:56:23. > :56:33.see her Libya Rochus at 5-5 has got to be inspiring to any kids under
:56:33. > :56:43.six foot. I keep waiting for this seven for a man to arrive. The Best
:56:43. > :56:46.
:56:46. > :56:54.Almagro is 10 in the world the so this is a good match. He is 17
:56:54. > :56:59.inches shorter than John Isner. am disappointed at Isner. He is the
:56:59. > :57:04.argument for a 5th set tie-breaks. That match at the French took so
:57:04. > :57:14.much out of him and he did not prepare and play it any warm-ups.
:57:14. > :57:20.It is too bad because he is one of the most dangerous men in the draw.
:57:20. > :57:25.Johanna Konta or an Christina McHale and now 7-7, maybe we'll be
:57:25. > :57:35.talking about that on Thursday it will stop this is the line-up
:57:35. > :57:47.
:57:47. > :57:53.We will be talking about Lleyton Hewitt against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
:57:53. > :57:57.And Victoria Azarenka, who Lindsay Davenport summarily dismissed as a
:57:57. > :58:07.contender for stocks I did not dismiss, I just did not mention.
:58:07. > :58:08.
:58:08. > :58:17.You cut us of to go to Heather Watson. Andy Murray, is he a
:58:17. > :58:22.contender? The distance maybe a little bit larger than he would
:58:22. > :58:30.like from the top three. But this is his best bet, the crowd gets
