Pat have experience of the semi- finals day. Let's move on, we will

show you Andy Murray's game later on. Many of you may have seen that.

The first match on court, a bizarre kind of day, like watching two

tennis tournaments in one. There was Andy Murray with a glorious

blue sky and clouds, and before that it was under the roof because

the rain was pattering down. A very different atmosphere as Djokovic

and Federer walked on court at 1:00pm. The first two sets were not

that great. Djokovic slipping, giving Federer a break opportunity

Which he duly took. It was almost there at the match was played with

an break on, when one player was playing well, the other wasn't.

Quite a few unforced errors. Djokovic needed just one break

opportunity in the second set to That error from Federer gave

Djokovic the necessary break. We were waiting for the match to

explode. And by common consent the third set was the best set of the

Championships without exception. This game we will show you now

Congratulations, a stunning performance, back in a Wimbledon

final where we all think you belong. Great history here, how do you

feel? I am ecstatic, so happy, played a great match. Tough

tournament but I was able to play some fantastic tennis today. I

thought Novak played well in the first two sets as well, and the

third set was key to the match and I was able to maybe step it up, get

lucky, he had break points as well at the end of the third set so a

tough match, great crowds, it was a lot of fun play out there today.

How disappointed are you you were not able to defend your Wimbledon

title? It is obviously disappointing, and

every loss hurts. There is no question about it, you want to win

at this stage of the tournament. But I lost to a better player. He

played more aggressive, more consistent, with more confidence in

the important moments and I didn't take my chances, I was not moving

really the way I wanted. I congratulate him and I move on.

Could you have predicted the match panning out like that?

Not at all. I thought the movement he has on the court would have been

a big edge for him and I didn't see that little. If anything, Roger

move better, he was slipping and sliding and mentally that got in

his head. Roger is hitting ball so cleanly. The other part, the stress

level that he has endured the last year coming back, and having to try

to tie Rod Laver, my idol, to try to get four in a row, he sort of

let down a little bit, a great effort to get to the French. But he

really never looked like he was believing he could come back in the

4th set and considering how many times he has done it recently that

surprised me -- surprised me. He he did look a little flat in

these last two losses. He had lost a little bit of something.

There was one moment of supreme elevation in the third set. The

rest of the match may not have been of that quality but at this stage,

midway through the third set it was fantastic.

He is another it guy who doesn't like to come in. It got to the

stage where Djokovic's return was making a real impact. The thing was

he had that chance, at 4-4, break point, he just chipped a return,

played a tentative shot for him, and missed it. That really set this

weird tone, he lost that game, the next game, he let down, and Roger,

he took advantage, and it is 3-0 in the 4th set.

This is indoors, no elements. How much bearing did playing under

the roof have on the outcome? I think it was huge. What he has

done really well, Roger, he has gone back to the drawing board and

said how can I meet these new young guys and his technique is to stand

closer to the baseline and do a lot of half volleys and that takes a

lot of skill. Unbelievable amount of skill. The grass is starting to

top-up so he needs all the help he can get. If the ball is blowing a

little bit in the wind it will create a few mishits and there is

no wind, elements, and the French semi-final, that was a really hard

day to play, but he can do it on the indoor court.

He serve so well, you don't have to worry about the elements. Djokovic,

less than 30% of the points won on second serves, that is why you felt

like he was really going to go after Roger and take advantage. He

didn't do that until today. A final thought on Roger today,

compared to the Rogier he won it in 2003, 2004 -- the Rogier who won it.

Where is he now compared to when he was at his peak?

He was awful quiet, the way he played. I should never be surprised.

I have watched him so often, I picked him originally to win this,

got second thoughts, panicked, looked like Djokovic was moving

great, it showed you he is the master of grass. He did it to

Djokovic, and it is hard to think, he is so determined to win the 7th,

tie with Sampras, be number one, that means so much, I don't think

anybody thought to good regain the No. 1 ranking.

I think he is a better player now than he was. His technique is

better, today, he would beat Roger back in 2003. He has got a drop

shot now, he serves better. backhand is better. He is a better

player. You are agreeing now. one thing I would say I am not

quite sure about, and have to agree with him, but the volley concerned

me coming in, he hadn't done a good job but did a better job today.

Roger Federer is through to the final. If you don't know who he is

going to play Haas today you will do very shortly. We must tie up a

couple of loose ends. You were probably watching a game on BBC Two

before we began the highlight programme. How did this happen?

did the Bryan brothers lose to Jonathan Marray from Sheffield and

Frederik Nielsen of Denmark? They did, a wildcard pairing, the first

British man through to the Men's Doubles final since? Bunny Austin?

1936 which was? Fred Perry. Hughton The Men's Doubles finals will be

final? I don't know, what happened?! This is the match that

happened beneath blue skies. Andy Murray against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

He has served and volleyed 20 times. Andy Murray, just six. We expect to

see the Frenchman up there a lot Did have a little trouble with his

back in his match with Mardy Fish earlier on in the tournament,

I recall a guy by the name of Roger Federer was having trouble with his

fans, he dived for that. He's Tsonga was feeling a whole lot

better about life 20 minutes or so later, because there he was, taking

the third set by its six games to three, and there were quite a few

nervous people on Centre Court at this point. He is Murray leading 4-

CHEERING. Andy Murray is through to his first

And just look at these scenes. The last British man to win here, Fred

Perry in 1936. That is the statue of the great Fred Perry. And this

is the man who is trying to emulate him, who will try to emulate him on

Sunday. Many congratulations. Three to the

Wimbledon final, what is your first A bit of relief, excitement, tough

to explain. It was such a close match in the end, both of us had

chances, 4th set I was up at break, he came back and had a couple have

unbelievable passing shots. Then he had the break points at 4-4, just

managed to be tough enough. I am happy to be through. When you were

two sets down, and you want a setback, you possibly thought back

to defeating Roger Federer here and thoughts perhaps it would be your

day again? Yes, of course. After the third set, I said, OK. I have a

chance. It is not finished until the last point is finished. I have

a chance. I tried to take it, but Andy was just better than me today.

He did well and pushed me, to be honest. And I think he deserved it.

The question is, guys, do we believe in destiny? I believe in it.

Someone should tell Federer, I have got six already. Let's make this an

incredible tennis story. It is already a boost for the sport, this

is really exciting. Even around the world as well as here. I think it

Deveney could be done. It was an awesome effort. I thought Andy

played very well today. The Queen may well be coming on Sunday, she

left Sunday afternoon free just in case. Roger is a big royalist, so

maybe she said to him, this is a big moment, don't bother. -- Party,

which she diorite -- would he go with it? That is a good try, by the

way. It is my charity, I thought I'd better were it once. I get the

feeling that something is written this hear about it. Let's put it in

perspective. In practical terms, if we look at the pictures of what it

meant to him at the end, it is quite hard to interpret it. There

was not a large amount of excitement. There was a large

centre relief. I do not think there is any player who is under more

pressure than the British want to break this streak. Given the

circumstances, I think he played an outstanding match. This is hard to

deal with. Listen, I would like to tell you that I dealt with pressure,

but I never felt like I was under anywhere near as much pressure as

Andy has been under in his career, all Tim Henman, for that matter.

we move from these pictures to the pictures of Ivan Lendl, who was

stoic throughout the entire match. It was almost as though it, I don't

think he is even biting his fingernails, they are just there as

a prop. Did you expect something different? This is the moment of

triumph, look at him! He may know something we do not. He may know

it... The job is not done is what it looked like to me. Yes, you're

in a Wimbledon final, but there is one more match to play. That is the

message he was trying to send Andy Murray. Let's put it in perspective.

The players he has beaten, he has had a tough draw. He has Devine --

beaten David Ferrer on grass, he should always win that match. He is

the hot favourite to beat Tsonga, he should beat him, he is playing

on grass and at home. He should win these matches. Now, this next match.

We also now he can beat the tough guys at least once. When Nadal went

out, we said, he does not have to beat two of them. That was a huge

moment. He has to have one really great match at Wimbledon. He played

really well in the others, he has got to play one really great match,

and does he have it in him? Yes, he does. Can he do it? We will wait

and see. We have been in three Grand Slam finals already, the

British public has been waiting for this moment and he has not yet won

a step in a Grand Slam final. Is that relevant? That is why he hired

Ivan Lendl, Ivan Lendl was at a similar stage in his career when he

was 0-4, Andy is 0-3. He wanted to get that belief, someone who have

credibility, who has been there and that moment who ended up having

eight Grand Slams. Of course he can do it. He is in the prime of his

career, this is the best we have ever seen of Andy Murray. Yes,

Roger Federer is close to what he was in his prime, but you would

think that this is the opportunity, he could learn from his mistakes.

quick word about tomorrow, in danger of being dwarfed by the

hysteria and the hoopla that is going to consumers all over the

next 36 hours. Agnieszka Radwanska again Serena Williams, if you're in

Radwanska's corner, what would you say to her? I would say enjoy it

the moment, easier said than done. She has the type of game, if you

get caught on and off gate -- on an off-day, you can lose something. I

think Novak Djokovic were cut on the wrong side of bed. It is

conceivable Serena Williams may not serve as well. Can she keep serving

that big? Historic serving in the last couple of rounds. It is a

tough ask, she has got to do the things she does well, Radwanska

keeps the ball deep and has accuracy and a solid serve. Syria

is at best player on a tour run, but he has not played as much

tennis over the last few years. match is live on BBC1 tomorrow at
