:30:18. > :30:20.
:30:20. > :30:28.have such a big star. He is the biggest hero we have. If Andy

:31:47. > :31:53.Something extraordinary, for sure. Just to hear people talking about
:31:53. > :32:00.tomorrow, you feel each goose bumps. It is not just because it is colder.
:32:00. > :32:05.If we start with Murray and Tsonga. Murray is very strong favourite.
:32:05. > :32:11.The bookmakers have a very long odds on him. I do not necessarily
:32:11. > :32:20.agree. Tsonga is a great grass court player. He has developed into
:32:20. > :32:26.one. He is comfortable on grass. I would not put Merrien -- Murray as
:32:26. > :32:32.a huge favourite. It is going to be a tough test for him. He cannot let
:32:32. > :32:40.the Tsonga control the points. Murray has got to be aggressive.
:32:40. > :32:45.would give Murray the edge. Five in one, or Marray's 5 and Tsonga's one

:32:55. > :33:01.will that Barbara Tsonga. He says not. How much is the starts key
:33:01. > :33:06.tomorrow? His Murray got off to a sluggish start, as it sometimes can
:33:06. > :33:15.do, if he gets off to a good start, do you feel the momentum will go
:33:15. > :33:22.with him but if he gets off to a bad start, oh no? Against a Ferrer
:33:22. > :33:27.he was Darren that one point. He's going to have to continue to hit
:33:27. > :33:34.tomorrow. Tsonga is going to pressure him. He has that all-court
:33:34. > :33:43.game. He played twice on grass. -- they have played tries on grass,
:33:43. > :33:48.Murray has won one of those. Federer against Djokovic, we look
:33:48. > :33:54.forward to that so much. On Monday we were writing Federer off, it
:33:54. > :33:58.seemed. He was struggling with his injury. You have to be 100 % to
:33:58. > :34:02.play Djokovic. And then he goes and plays one of his best quarterfinals
:34:02. > :34:07.against Youzhny and puts all the doubts to rest. I have always felt
:34:07. > :34:11.Roger has a few more Grand Slams in him. One of these days he is going
:34:11. > :34:17.to come through in one of these really close semifinal matches.
:34:17. > :34:23.Sooner or later it is his time but he's playing against Djokovic, for
:34:23. > :34:29.whom it is so hard to lose in the Grand Slams. So it is? I will go
:34:29. > :34:33.with Federer. I am not going out on a limb. Djokovic. He has beaten him
:34:33. > :34:38.the last three times. In the last year-and-a-half he's just a
:34:38. > :34:41.different player. His serve is much better. The fact he is winning
:34:41. > :34:49.these Grand Slams now. Two years in a row, he was down match points
:34:49. > :34:53.against Federer. That is why he's going to ruin one of these. 1:00pm

:54:34. > :54:39.well during in the game, obviously was not very well afterwards and as
:54:39. > :54:44.if it was not tough enough against Serena already, that makes it
:54:44. > :54:48.doubly tough! She has to be 100 % physically and that is a bit
:54:48. > :54:54.alarming. You could hear in her into the right after the match that
:54:54. > :54:59.she did not sound great. Two things, one is that game I was really in
:55:00. > :55:07.drink, the second set was riveting. It was not the bludgeoning that we
:55:07. > :55:12.You felt that Kerber was getting back into the game at the end of
:55:12. > :55:16.the second set. I wanted more. I wanted again to be best-of-five
:55:16. > :55:21.because I wanted to know if Radwanska was going to win or not.
:55:21. > :55:27.It was one of the first times watching the women's singles
:55:27. > :55:31.semifinal, that at this stage it should be the best of five.
:55:31. > :55:37.will not see the women playing doubles as much. Some of the top
:55:37. > :55:47.women do play doubles. You have a good point in the fact that
:55:47. > :55:52.
:55:52. > :55:56.Azarenka was getting better it was Bring it up to the WTA. It does the
:55:56. > :56:03.same thing when the stand close. You are robbing your opponent of
:56:03. > :56:08.time. We have used boxing analogy Isaac. In terms of the way the ball
:56:08. > :56:13.is hit, Saturday with a heavy weight against a middleweight. And
:56:13. > :56:19.by and large a heavyweight will win. What can Radwanska do to try to
:56:19. > :56:23.disrupt... Is it about disrupting Sabina's rhythm or what? That is
:56:23. > :56:28.her best plan. Normally you would like to have a player who can take
:56:28. > :56:36.time away from Serena. Rap fans get cannot do that. She will have to
:56:36. > :56:42.change the pace so Serena does not get a rhythm. She can do that a lot
:56:42. > :56:49.by her serves. Radwanska also has to focus on her depth. She cannot
:56:49. > :56:52.leave balls short. Serena loves to attack. She has to play good
:56:53. > :56:56.defence as well. But returning that serve, we showed that graphic
:56:56. > :57:00.earlier on about where its Arena stands on her service but we did
:57:00. > :57:07.not talk about the aces that keep coming down time after time. What
:57:07. > :57:15.does Radwanska do about that? will be difficult because you had
:57:15. > :57:22.Victoria today, and she struggled. Read Franco does not returning
:57:22. > :57:25.anywhere -- and Rajeev Ram skirts does not return anywhere as well as
:57:25. > :57:31.she does. It will be an uphill battle because of the power from
:57:31. > :57:39.Serena. The way she is playing, she is getting better. She has won four
:57:39. > :57:49.times here. It is tough. She will have to move quickly. Kerber
:57:49. > :57:52.
:57:53. > :58:02.mentioned in her interview the is that the Shot that you can see?
:58:02. > :58:07.Europe's tallest building. So you have got Djokovic against Federer
:58:07. > :58:11.tomorrow and Murray against Tsonga. It is so mouth-watering. I'm as
