0:00:21 > 0:00:34
0:00:34 > 0:00:39champions and would-be champions. The most eagerly anticipated having
0:00:39 > 0:00:49just for a long time because of the prospect of a you know who. We have
0:00:49 > 0:00:50
0:00:50 > 0:00:56John McEnroe and Lindsay Devonport, to cast their judgments. You are at
0:00:56 > 0:01:05the tail-end of your career. The early days of yours. He is your
0:01:05 > 0:01:12starter for 10, at home. Who is this man? That man. Recognise him?
0:01:12 > 0:01:17I remember him. Here is another clue if you do not remember. He is
0:01:17 > 0:01:27the man who actually beat Rafael Nadal last minute -- last year.
0:01:27 > 0:01:51
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Last year, against Lukas Rosol, who was still barely a household name
0:01:54 > 0:02:01with his own house but that was his moment of fame. This year cast in
0:02:01 > 0:02:05that role was Steve Darcis from Belgium, ranked 130 in the world.
0:02:05 > 0:02:13Have a look to discover he it is Obama struggling in the first set.
0:02:14 > 0:02:20A Belgian was -- here is Nadal struggling in the first sector. The
0:02:20 > 0:02:27Belgian was playing some great There was a feeling that he was
0:02:27 > 0:02:33playing himself in, but bit by bit, Rafael Nadal was going to rein him
0:02:34 > 0:02:39in. And normal service would be resumed. But a bit like the Lukas
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Rosol game last year, Darcis could not miss. Maybe he was inspired by
0:02:42 > 0:02:48what happened 12 months ago, it you realise that if you go for it, you
0:02:48 > 0:02:54have the chance, just go for it. So seize the day. After what would
0:02:54 > 0:03:00have been a fairly interesting and up and down first set for Nadal and
0:03:00 > 0:03:10consistently good hitting for Darcis, we Irina first set tie-

0:05:57 > 0:06:03
0:06:03 > 0:06:08He has got it! What a set of tennis that was from Steve Darcis. 29
0:06:08 > 0:06:18years old, ranked 135. He is rolling back the years. He takes
0:06:18 > 0:06:20
0:06:20 > 0:06:26the set in 69 minutes. 77-6, 7-4 on the breaker. Here we go in the

0:10:21 > 0:10:26round. No one could have tried any harder to pick this up. Thank God
0:10:26 > 0:10:34we are playing on grass and not on a hard surface. His knees would
0:10:34 > 0:10:44have been open by now. First time, Nadal ahead in the tie-breaker. A

0:12:30 > 0:12:35Wimbledon witnessed one of the biggest shock upsets in its history.

0:13:25 > 0:13:35Darcis is playing it. He is playing the match of his life in the
0:13:35 > 0:13:40
0:13:40 > 0:13:46At times, it feels like there are to have them down there. The way he

0:15:10 > 0:15:28
0:15:28 > 0:15:35And he did not chased down, and he is limping badly, Nadal. We have
0:15:35 > 0:15:45had a couple of clues in this match. But that is the clearest yet. A
0:15:45 > 0:15:49
0:15:49 > 0:15:59that any perhaps is an issue. -- at that his fleet is perhaps an issue.
0:15:59 > 0:16:25
0:16:25 > 0:16:31He has got it! Well, like me was about to strike
0:16:32 > 0:16:36twice. He is the Belgian serving in the final game of the match. What
0:16:36 > 0:16:42do we say about this, in terms of where it sits in the great shocks
0:16:42 > 0:16:50of Wimbledon? It is certainly the top three. Boris Becker, and last
0:16:50 > 0:16:56year, the match that Rafael Nadal lost to Lukas Rosol, this was
0:16:56 > 0:16:59shocking because he had missed so much time, come back so strong,
0:16:59 > 0:17:07albeit on clay court. Know I have got a sick feeling in my stomach
0:17:07 > 0:17:13because I a see him out there noticeably limping. Darcis played
0:17:13 > 0:17:23incredibly, a very smart match, but I am beginning to wonder if all he
0:17:23 > 0:17:30has got left is the clay events. You wonder if Darcis it just looks
0:17:30 > 0:17:36at the Lukas Rosol match. He is comfortable playing on grass, and a
0:17:36 > 0:17:41lot of times that is the first obstacle for places. He beat Tomas
0:17:41 > 0:17:49Berdych last it at the Olympics. It is so noticeable that played --
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Nadal is not at 100%. You have got to wonder what is going to happen
0:17:53 > 0:18:00this summer. Darcis does not have the firepower. He is not sex at
0:18:00 > 0:18:04five, he played a -- 6 ft 5, he played a tricky match but nowhere
0:18:04 > 0:18:08near the level that we saw last year. This is the time when you get
0:18:08 > 0:18:14Nadal, early. It is heavy conditions, his ball does not kick
0:18:14 > 0:18:20up, he is not moving as well. question that hangs in the air is,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24was anything wrong with Rafael Nadal? I think you're joking. I
0:18:24 > 0:18:28answered this question three or four times already. I do not want
0:18:28 > 0:18:32to talk about my knees this afternoon. The only thing I can say
0:18:32 > 0:18:38today is congratulations to Steve Darcis, he played a fantastic match,
0:18:38 > 0:18:45and everything that I will say today about my knees are an excuse
0:18:45 > 0:18:51today about my knees are an excuse come unaided or to put any excuses.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55--, I do not want to see any excuses. I spoke to you immediately
0:18:55 > 0:19:00after the match, you did not quite know what he felt. You have had a
0:19:00 > 0:19:06couple of hours since that, how do you felt -- feel now? I feel great.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10I have never felt that good. I am so happy, I think I had a great
0:19:10 > 0:19:14match, maybe one of the best I have ever played. Especially here at
0:19:14 > 0:19:22Wimbledon, it is wonderful. What did you think going into the match,
0:19:23 > 0:19:27a knowing that Nadal's had colossal record? It is difficult but you
0:19:27 > 0:19:35have nothing to lose. Everyone knows him and what he has done
0:19:35 > 0:19:40before. He is a great player, and I knew that I had not so much of a
0:19:40 > 0:19:46chance today. But I tried to take the small chances I had a by think
0:19:46 > 0:19:50I did good and was OK in the end. He was keen after the match to say
0:19:50 > 0:19:54how well you had played rather than put any attention on any possible
0:19:55 > 0:20:02injuries he had. What do you think about that? I don't know. I think
0:20:02 > 0:20:06if you start to focus on the opponent, especially him, he is
0:20:06 > 0:20:10fighting to the end. I think that is what he did. Baby he did not
0:20:10 > 0:20:15play his best tennis today, because you do -- maybe he did not play his
0:20:15 > 0:20:19best tennis today, because you do not beat him if he is at 100%.
0:20:19 > 0:20:27Maybe he did not like my game, I played great from the beginning,
0:20:27 > 0:20:31put pressure on. I kept a serving good. I was very aggressive, yes, I
0:20:31 > 0:20:37do not know what to say about him. I don't know if he was hurt or not.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41He did not play his best match, that is for sure. Whatever the
0:20:41 > 0:20:45state of play as far as Nadal is concerned, what does that do to
0:20:45 > 0:20:49that section of the draw? What a whole lot. Because Federer was
0:20:49 > 0:20:54going to play him in the quarters, so one of those two guys was out.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58You still presume that Roger is going to get through. But that
0:20:59 > 0:21:03opens the door for the Lleyton Hewitts of the world, John is no,
0:21:03 > 0:21:08people who have not been there and done that. -- John is now. They
0:21:08 > 0:21:18would have some renewed hope. Murray might have looked at the
0:21:18 > 0:21:18
0:21:18 > 0:21:26draw and thought, if Nadal and Deborah can play a 1614 -- Federer
0:21:26 > 0:21:32can play a 16-14 match, they would be tired. It was going to be, he
0:21:32 > 0:21:36was going to go through Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal,
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Roger Federer was going to have to go through them all. Andy Murray is
0:21:40 > 0:21:43comfortable on grass and that opens his door. Let's have a look and see
0:21:43 > 0:21:53how Lleyton Hewitt is getting on, Stanislas Wawrinka, he was two sets
0:21:53 > 0:21:54
0:21:54 > 0:22:00to the good last a whistle. Here is Stanislas Wawrinka to -- with a
0:22:00 > 0:22:07break back. They are living up to the fact that this was going to be
0:22:07 > 0:22:13a good match. He blew the second set and now he is trying to fight
0:22:13 > 0:22:17his way back in. If you want to follow that game, that is on the
0:22:17 > 0:22:20red button at the moment. As far as Maria Sharapova was concerned today,
0:22:20 > 0:22:27after all the spats in the tabloids about her and Serena Williams, it
0:22:27 > 0:22:34was time to get back to the tennis. Her opponent was the hugely
0:22:34 > 0:22:44promising French gulp Chris Evert ladder rich -- Christina or with an
0:22:44 > 0:23:16
0:23:16 > 0:23:22We thought she was going to be in all sorts of trouble there, but
0:23:22 > 0:23:26great composure from the French woman. She is a great doubles
0:23:26 > 0:23:36player, but she was in the finals of the Mixed Doubles in the French

0:24:23 > 0:24:29I am not sure I have ever seen Sarratt Rover -- Sharapova or plain
0:24:29 > 0:24:33bad shot, but she was happy to play it at that time. They both were
0:24:33 > 0:24:36happy to play a squashed shot during that radical a pretty
0:24:36 > 0:24:46effective for the first week of the tournament where the ball can skid
0:24:46 > 0:25:24
0:25:24 > 0:25:30Well-played! Lose that point, and That has been impressive forehand.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33She recovered from another missed first serve. Looking like it is
0:25:33 > 0:25:43tough for her to keep a fluid motion when there is a bit of

0:26:10 > 0:26:20tension. She rebounded nicely off It has been called out on the

0:27:12 > 0:27:18set point to the winner of this There is a buzz around here,
0:27:18 > 0:27:28because the squeal with a backhand was quite powerful. As powerful as

0:27:28 > 0:28:15Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
0:28:15 > 0:28:20Well, that was a wonderful set of tennis here on Centre Court.
0:28:20 > 0:28:26The first set of tennis that you will see in an opening match, he
0:28:26 > 0:28:32was the second, it was not quite so good. Sharapova ran awake -- ran
0:28:32 > 0:28:37away with it. 28 with the French player for two -- plenty for the
0:28:37 > 0:28:42French pair to console her with. Two people were treading on
0:28:42 > 0:28:52eggshells, and then someone said, Maria, who are your heroes in
0:28:52 > 0:28:53
0:28:53 > 0:29:03tennis? Probably Steffi Graf.You think he would play with her, with
0:29:03 > 0:29:04
0:29:04 > 0:29:10her great forehand? I think she Do you think that Steffi Graf would

0:29:17 > 0:29:22would hold her own in the match. depends what the surfaces. I would
0:29:22 > 0:29:25like Steffi Graf on clay, but I think Maria, on a first step --
0:29:25 > 0:29:33faster court, which make life interesting. We wish we could see
0:29:33 > 0:29:39matches like that. I would like to see you play in Roger, and Andy. In
0:29:39 > 0:29:45a computer-generated world! Let's talk about the loser, first of all.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49How good can the French girl de? Mladenovic showed a lot of promise.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51She was fearless, first time on Centre Court, playing a former
0:29:51 > 0:29:55champion and she went out there with confidence. She served really
0:29:55 > 0:29:59well, she only got broken once and that was very hard to against a
0:29:59 > 0:30:09return as good as Maria. He is athletic, at which he has a good
0:30:09 > 0:30:10
0:30:10 > 0:30:15future. Sharapova today? I like the cat fighting! I think she is off
0:30:15 > 0:30:19her -- of the court, Sharapova. We will see how it develops if they
0:30:19 > 0:30:22play again. It was disappointing that no one up the ante in the
0:30:22 > 0:30:27press conference today, it is just simmering. It has been simmering
0:30:27 > 0:30:31for a couple of days. Maybe let it come down a bit, and see if we can
0:30:31 > 0:30:37find something else. Somebody who estate out of this is Victoria
0:30:37 > 0:30:47Azarenka, she played today, it is quite a dramatic game. Very scary
0:30:47 > 0:30:54
0:30:54 > 0:31:00moments, especially when you hear It didn't sound but she was going
0:31:00 > 0:31:08to play based on that. It was a good 10 or 12 minutes before she
0:31:08 > 0:31:15went out on the court again. boyfriend was there. I thought he
0:31:15 > 0:31:20would at least take his glasses off. There is no glass in those glasses!
0:31:20 > 0:31:26Anyway, she got back on the court. She was fine, in inverted commas.
0:31:26 > 0:31:31Find enough to beat her opponent from Portugal. So, what do we think
0:31:31 > 0:31:36about Victoria Azarenka as far as a potential winner is concerned?
0:31:36 > 0:31:46Everyone is talking about relationships, let's hear about
0:31:46 > 0:31:55
0:31:55 > 0:31:59consistent results over the last couple of years on grass. I think
0:31:59 > 0:32:07I've learnt a lot more with experience on how to play on grass,
0:32:07 > 0:32:11make adjustments. I mean, I like grass, actually. At the beginning,
0:32:11 > 0:32:16it was difficult to understand what kind of adjustment I need to do to
0:32:16 > 0:32:20play, but my game suits me very well. And I am excited to be here.
0:32:20 > 0:32:29Wimbledon is one of my favourite events. So I think the grass is very
0:32:29 > 0:32:32appropriate. And maybe we will see the ring on my finger in two weeks.
0:32:32 > 0:32:37From somebody who is getting to like grass quite a lot to somebody who
0:32:37 > 0:32:41has always been very much at home, here we are with Lleyton Hewitt, two
0:32:41 > 0:32:48points away from victory. He has had two match points against Stanislas
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Wawrinka on the more one chord. Here is the Swiss number two getting
0:32:51 > 0:32:57himself out of jail with a big himself out of jail with a big
0:32:57 > 0:33:04serve. Let's have a word about Hewitt. He played very well at
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Queen's. Again, the guys who get older, grass is going to be the best
0:33:08 > 0:33:12service for Roger, for example. And Lleyton Hewitt knows all about how
0:33:12 > 0:33:17to use his tools to his advantage. And he's one of the quickest guys,
0:33:17 > 0:33:22even though he has lost his speed with all the surgeries, he has been
0:33:22 > 0:33:26under the knife way too many times, but he can still move out there and
0:33:26 > 0:33:30he's a great competitor, one of the greatest. As you get older and you
0:33:30 > 0:33:36start to realise that maybe this isn't such a bad job after all, you
0:33:36 > 0:33:40dig in a little more and appreciate these types of moments. Now he is
0:33:40 > 0:33:48realising that as the clock is ticking, you want to maximise the
0:33:48 > 0:33:53enjoyment as much as you can. looking his rankings, and it is not
0:33:53 > 0:33:57what you would expect from Lleyton Hewitt at all. A lot of that has to
0:33:57 > 0:34:05do with injuries. But it would be harder to keep going if you were
0:34:05 > 0:34:12100, 180, when you have been number one in the world two years in a row.
0:34:12 > 0:34:18That was vintage Hewitt, getting to match point. Champion 11 years ago.
0:34:18 > 0:34:24Here we are, match point for a famous Aussie. This is after a lot
0:34:24 > 0:34:33of turbulence in Australia in sport. We've seen a lot of slipping on the
0:34:33 > 0:34:37court in Wimbledon. This is a second serve as well. Don't forget, he's
0:34:37 > 0:34:43playing a man who's played in one of the best singles matches anywhere
0:34:43 > 0:34:47this year. That is Wawrinka spoiling the party. We will keep you
0:34:47 > 0:34:51up-to-date with that. Who knows how much longer that has got left. Now,
0:34:51 > 0:34:57Roger Federer, he was the first person to walk onto Centre Court at
0:34:57 > 0:35:07lunchtime today. He was playing Victor Hanescu. The thing was, he
0:35:07 > 0:35:07
0:35:07 > 0:35:56Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
0:35:56 > 0:36:01game. He is just loving this. Oh, match at Wimbledon this year.
0:36:01 > 0:36:07An exhibition match. Extraordinary. It was. It felt like a glorified
0:36:07 > 0:36:14practice session. There was no sweat at all. You're not going to get
0:36:14 > 0:36:18anything from that other than you've got appreciated while you can.
0:36:18 > 0:36:23Federer was tend to want to be champion here this year, when he has
0:36:24 > 0:36:33won it seven times. As somebody got this wrong? Are we writing his
0:36:34 > 0:36:41defeat? He has got to the finals of the Olympics, he won it last year,
0:36:41 > 0:36:45so grass is his favourite surface. His odds will go up now that Nadal
0:36:45 > 0:36:54is out. It is difficult to defend a title. When you win seven, it is
0:36:54 > 0:36:58difficult to win the eighth. Is that when it gets tough? I would know.
0:36:58 > 0:37:07The fact that Rafa Nadal one and eight title, would that have wild
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Roger Federer a bit? That's a good point. It would help him. How in the
0:37:10 > 0:37:16world is this guy is still motivated? It is incredible how much
0:37:16 > 0:37:20he likes to play and win. Roger won for the first time in 2003 and he
0:37:20 > 0:37:26took the title from Lleyton Hewitt. Here is match point a few years ago
0:37:26 > 0:37:32on Court One against Stanislas Wawrinka. And Hewitt coming through
0:37:32 > 0:37:42in straight sets against the Swiss number two. A trademark celebration
0:37:42 > 0:37:54
0:37:54 > 0:37:59to be out there. So, Wawrinka is going to look at Hewitt now. Some of
0:37:59 > 0:38:05the best tennis being played is by this man now. These are the pictures
0:38:05 > 0:38:15from Court Number One. As far as everything else today, let's see
0:38:15 > 0:38:26
0:38:26 > 0:38:32This might not be a household name in the UK, but Italy is Sara Errani
0:38:32 > 0:38:42won her game. She is the toast of the nation after crushing 6-2, 6-2
0:38:42 > 0:38:59
0:38:59 > 0:39:03Anna pitch rattled off six games in a row for victory. Jo-Wilfried
0:39:03 > 0:39:08Tsonga could also be Andy Murray 's quarter-final opponent. He should be
0:39:08 > 0:39:13if he continues to show this kind of spring in his step. It was too much
0:39:13 > 0:39:23for the Belgian. It shows just why he has been a semifinalist for the
0:39:23 > 0:39:26
0:39:26 > 0:39:36past two years. He has Wimbledon's very own Tigger. Marin Cilic is
0:39:36 > 0:39:38
0:39:38 > 0:39:48seeded ten. He is very much in form. The Croatian won his match with
0:39:48 > 0:39:53
0:39:53 > 0:39:58Baghdatis. 14th seeded Tipsarevic fell foul of treaty. Jamie Hampton
0:39:58 > 0:40:02played ten matches on grass in an impressive build-up to Wimbledon but
0:40:02 > 0:40:06it was 11 and out against Sloane Stephens. She's the 20 old who beat
0:40:06 > 0:40:12Serena en route to the Australian Open semi-final and hopes here to
0:40:12 > 0:40:17cement her star in the Grand Slam walk of Fame.
0:40:17 > 0:40:22Here we are, we've gone 40 minutes and haven't mentioned Andy Murray.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27Here we go with a first instalment of Murray 2013. His opponent today
0:40:27 > 0:40:32was Benjamin Becker of Germany whom he beat emphatically at Queen's but
0:40:32 > 0:40:42today was much more of a tough fight. We join it in the first
0:40:42 > 0:40:54
0:40:54 > 0:40:58served. The Germans serving 5-4 more comfortable. He is moving
0:40:58 > 0:41:08exceptionally well right now. If you heard what is going on with Nadal,
0:41:08 > 0:41:08
0:41:08 > 0:42:59Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
0:42:59 > 0:43:09moment, is Becca. Stress level has looked like it was going to be one
0:43:09 > 0:43:10
0:43:10 > 0:44:10Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
0:44:11 > 0:44:20waiting for the area from his opponent. Murray's chance has come
0:44:21 > 0:44:48
0:44:48 > 0:44:58and say, wow, you would see a guy hit the ball as hard as he does. But
0:44:58 > 0:44:58
0:44:58 > 0:46:11Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
0:46:11 > 0:46:18he has definitely got the ability to "yes! " it is 6-4. A satisfactory
0:46:18 > 0:46:28start. And here we go into the second set when Murray is leading
0:46:28 > 0:46:28
0:46:28 > 0:47:42Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
0:47:42 > 0:47:52has this tendency with those deep balls to pray that they are not out.
0:47:52 > 0:47:52
0:47:52 > 0:49:10Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
0:49:10 > 0:49:17strange play. JOHN INVERDALE: Watched by Ross
0:49:17 > 0:49:24Hutchins, here is Andy serving in the second set for a 2-0 set lead.
0:49:24 > 0:49:34Not a lot later, he found himself on the point of victory. And it was
0:49:34 > 0:49:39
0:49:39 > 0:49:42UMPIRE: Game, set and match. JOHN INVERDALE: In the press
0:49:42 > 0:49:45conference afterwards, everybody always says, is the pressure getting
0:49:45 > 0:49:55to you? Everybody is looking at you, to you? Everybody is looking at you,
0:49:55 > 0:49:59
0:49:59 > 0:50:05how do you I put a lot of pressure on myself. I expect a lot of myself.
0:50:05 > 0:50:10So the other stuff kind of goes with it. It doesn't really matter. What
0:50:10 > 0:50:17matters is what I am feeling what is on the court. And I think I've done
0:50:17 > 0:50:22a good job of putting that to the back of my head and just concentrate
0:50:22 > 0:50:27on what is going on out there. But that is going to be there for the
0:50:27 > 0:50:32rest of my career, something that, you know, all the players have to
0:50:32 > 0:50:35deal with. We will talk about Andy Murray and a second and if you
0:50:35 > 0:50:40didn't see the documentary last night about Andy Murray, the
0:50:40 > 0:50:43person, it is on the eye player, and it is worth your time.
0:50:43 > 0:50:50We will continue our annual quest now for the next big thing in
0:50:50 > 0:50:55British tennis. Make a sweeping search for a future
0:50:55 > 0:51:00Wimbledon star and you might find an 18-year-old Yorkshire lad who has
0:51:00 > 0:51:07shown signs in recent weeks that, in time, he can handle the leap to the
0:51:07 > 0:51:12big-time. He's one junior slams. He's the youngest Briton since Andy
0:51:12 > 0:51:17Murray to win a futures events, a tournament that points to a rich
0:51:17 > 0:51:24potential. Today was a step up from Queen's and Eastbourne. He made his
0:51:24 > 0:51:29debut at Wimbledon. I've been excited. Although he is in the first
0:51:29 > 0:51:39round, he's 18. It is going to be nervous and the massive experience
0:51:39 > 0:51:39
0:51:39 > 0:51:43for him. Nerves? What nervous? Well, how about that. Edmund would
0:51:43 > 0:51:53be more calm by taking the opening game against the 24th seed from
0:51:53 > 0:52:03
0:52:03 > 0:52:10world rankings was evident. Janowicz swept to a lead. The second set
0:52:10 > 0:52:18would tumble away like the first, 6-2, and it was 6-4 in the third.
0:52:18 > 0:52:22UMPIRE: Game, set and match, Janowicz. Today was much more about
0:52:22 > 0:52:26the score on the board. He has shown what a good player he
0:52:26 > 0:52:34is. Whereas his opponent, Edmund, has shown what a good player he
0:52:34 > 0:52:38might become. It is tough for me. But I am still young. The main thing
0:52:38 > 0:52:42is to keep thinking about the long-term goal. I was not able to
0:52:42 > 0:52:48produce a result for the crowd but the support I got is amazing. He
0:52:48 > 0:52:56will learn from today. He will learn what to do better for the future.
0:52:56 > 0:53:00And that is how he will operate. sweep of the grounds for other
0:53:00 > 0:53:04Britons in action saw a lane about patcher continuing her comeback from
0:53:04 > 0:53:09injury and perceived retirement only to have the big Wimbledon return
0:53:09 > 0:53:15halted by Flavia Pennetta. Another Italian accounted for another Brit
0:53:15 > 0:53:21on court ten as Camila Giorgi eight Sam Murray. No relation to a certain
0:53:21 > 0:53:26Scott, by the way. She lost on her Grand Slam debut. In the first round
0:53:26 > 0:53:32last year, Joanna Konta was twice two points from victory only to
0:53:32 > 0:53:39lose. This year, Britain's number four never found such tantalising
0:53:39 > 0:53:46opportunities in a defeat to Serbia's Eleni Jankovic. But then
0:53:46 > 0:53:51she is the 16th seed and former world number one.
0:53:51 > 0:53:57Another result to give you from not so long, Anne Keothavong going out
0:53:57 > 0:54:04to Muguruza from Spain. Disappointing from the second set in
0:54:04 > 0:54:12particular. Another result from the last hour of features Petra
0:54:12 > 0:54:17Kvitova. She had a bit of an injury timeout. She managed to recover from
0:54:17 > 0:54:26that. That was a slightly erratic performance but she did win in three
0:54:26 > 0:54:34sets. Now, the verdict of our sets. Now, the verdict of our
0:54:34 > 0:54:38experts on Mr Murray. He looked good out there. The first time he's been
0:54:38 > 0:54:41able to play Wimbledon with a Grand Slam title already under his belt
0:54:41 > 0:54:48and the gold medal. I like the way he was talking a few days ago, when
0:54:48 > 0:54:53he said that he was trying not to worry about what has happened the
0:54:53 > 0:54:57last game or two, and try to be more positive. Also we've been talking
0:54:57 > 0:55:00about the documentary. Good for him to get some stuff off his chest.
0:55:01 > 0:55:06He's in a good position mentally, he looks fitter than ever, so may be
0:55:06 > 0:55:12missing the French Open will pay off for him. I couldn't agree more. The
0:55:12 > 0:55:19Dunblane stuff, that is it! Get that off his chest for the first time.
0:55:19 > 0:55:28That was big. The last 12 months, the results. I can attest to the
0:55:28 > 0:55:33fact that that he can practice indoors. I know what they can do.
0:55:33 > 0:55:37His fans are supportive and it is nice to see him playing this well.
0:55:37 > 0:55:42The pressure is definitely less. Having won a slam. He won the US
0:55:42 > 0:55:51Open, he won the Olympics, you can't me there is more pressure? Yes,
0:55:51 > 0:55:56expects a lot of himself. But not as much is a year ago. And the manner
0:55:56 > 0:56:03he won against Roger Federer was so comprehensive. The first time I ever
0:56:03 > 0:56:06saw a crowd... I didn't think Roger was happy about the crowd being
0:56:06 > 0:56:11against him, so it will be interesting to see whether they play
0:56:11 > 0:56:17again in the semifinals, how that would pan out in terms of the crowd
0:56:17 > 0:56:21support. Now, Kyle Edmund, there's always a danger because we are
0:56:21 > 0:56:26always trying to find somebody to take the bat on. There was a long
0:56:26 > 0:56:31fallow period when there wasn't much going on, then Tim Henman, Greg, and
0:56:31 > 0:56:35he picked up the bat on. Who is next? Do we need to take things
0:56:36 > 0:56:39step-by-step and not get too ahead of ourselves? Of course, no doubt.
0:56:39 > 0:56:44We've been hearing about this for years. We have the same problem in
0:56:44 > 0:56:47the US. We are trying to find the next person to follow in the
0:56:47 > 0:56:55footsteps of our great players of the past. I happen to watch car
0:56:55 > 0:57:00Edmund play one of my boys at the French and he's got a great
0:57:00 > 0:57:06temperament. He's got a lot going for him. Without a doubt, you will
0:57:06 > 0:57:10see him be at least in the top 75. That's an optimistic note on which
0:57:10 > 0:57:13to see what we've got for you tomorrow. If you're coming on Centre
0:57:13 > 0:57:23Court or watching us on our Court or watching us on our
0:57:23 > 0:57:24
0:57:24 > 0:57:26coverage, that starts at Do you know much about Mandy Minella? I don't. I
0:57:27 > 0:57:36wouldn't fancy playing Serena Williams, never mind who is playing
0:57:37 > 0:57:54
0:57:54 > 0:57:58in the studio. Every night throughout this year's highlights,
