:00:03. > :00:06.build-up to that final. But is it from me, time to hand over to John
:00:06. > :00:12.Inverdale in the studio. It has been one of those timeless
:00:12. > :00:19.days in Wimbledon. Sizzling hot floral shirts, and skirts and Panama
:00:19. > :00:29.hats. It could have been any day except that for Marion Bartoli and
:00:29. > :00:29.
:00:29. > :01:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 51 seconds
:01:21. > :01:28.Sabine Lisicki, it was the day of look at and what happened today and
:01:28. > :01:31.see what things might be involved tomorrow. But two o'clock today on
:01:31. > :01:36.Centre Court and the crowning of what would be for sure a new Grand
:01:37. > :01:39.Slam champion with both players eyeing up a place in the history
:01:39. > :01:44.books. Sabine Lisicki looking to be the first German champion this
:01:44. > :01:49.entry, and the most major championships before winning a
:01:49. > :01:56.title, the record held by Yana Novotna, Marion Bartoli looking at
:01:56. > :02:06.that. And so the first set came and went all too quickly for Sabine
:02:06. > :02:14.
:02:15. > :02:18.Lisicki. Here is Bartoli serving and player. So Lisicki took a bathroom
:02:18. > :02:28.break to get herself together. And she was playing better at the start
:02:28. > :02:43.
:02:43. > :02:50.of the second set, it is one game COMMENTATOR: oh, my! Shot of the
:02:50. > :03:00.match. The desire she showed in the middle of that rally to track that
:03:00. > :03:05.
:03:05. > :03:11.her head, she was so intent on tracking that down. That is effort
:03:11. > :03:15.being rewarded. That ball actually looked out to me. It was out,
:03:16. > :03:25.Hawkeye said it landed out. I am surprised Sabine Lisicki did not
:03:26. > :03:42.
:03:42. > :03:52.clearly. She didn't give that a second look. This is Hawkeye showing
:03:52. > :04:06.
:04:06. > :04:09.that ball was wide. Sabine Lisicki pivotal. Lisicki not able to break,
:04:09. > :04:19.with around five break points and now all the momentum in Bartoli's
:04:19. > :04:49.
:04:49. > :04:56.will do everything to grab her first Grand Slam title.
:04:56. > :05:06.JOHN INVERDALE: she backed it up to lead three - one, this is Lisicki
:05:06. > :05:29.
:05:29. > :05:39.cannot try that shot from the position she was in and expect any
:05:39. > :05:57.
:05:57. > :06:07.IQ of 175, and she has all the answers. She is using it to her
:06:07. > :06:37.
:06:37. > :06:47.advantage. Her anticipation has been able to get it out of the strike
:06:47. > :06:47.
:06:47. > :07:30.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 51 seconds
:07:30. > :07:34.serve. Look where she finished off. She was well behind the baseline.
:07:34. > :07:44.The sun might be an issue, she may have had to alter that but that has
:07:44. > :08:11.
:08:11. > :08:21.been a big problem. Centre Court, it seems. Not just
:08:21. > :08:31.
:08:31. > :08:41.heard coach and family. -- her looks up to with a clenched fist.
:08:41. > :09:14.
:09:14. > :09:19.They will be delighted with receding engrave the player's name on the
:09:19. > :09:24.trophy, not the parents, not the coach, not anyone, it is just you
:09:24. > :09:30.out there and right now, there is nothing that Sabine Lisicki she can
:09:30. > :09:40.do to control her emotions. Also she is in tears, trying to regroup.
:09:40. > :09:40.
:09:40. > :11:32.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 51 seconds
:11:32. > :11:42.Kristin Perkins was completely overwhelmed by this situation --
:11:42. > :11:58.
:11:58. > :12:01.Kirsten Flipkens. And this time JOHN INVERDALE: six years onto
:12:01. > :12:04.losing to Venus Williams in the final, Marion Bartoli shortly after
:12:04. > :12:14.that found herself just four points away from being the Wimbledon
:12:14. > :12:18.
:12:18. > :12:22.COMMENTATOR: going from strength to strength, a game honed in France on
:12:22. > :12:27.the indoor courts under a leaky roof that sometimes had eyes on the
:12:27. > :12:37.courts with no heat, no run back. The short punchy strokes she
:12:37. > :13:00.
:13:00. > :13:10.hardest serve, Lisicki at 114, blasted by her. She seems helpless
:13:10. > :13:22.
:13:22. > :13:32.Just like that, double match point. And not just a match point,
:13:32. > :13:32.
:13:32. > :15:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 51 seconds
:15:55. > :16:05.all of a sudden. A player with a game plan on that last point. And a
:16:05. > :16:05.
:16:05. > :17:00.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 51 seconds
:17:00. > :17:10.sense of purpose, that is what has Bartoli, on fire with this shot

:17:10. > :18:10.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 51 seconds
:18:10. > :18:20.percolating around Marion Bartoli right now but every time you think
:18:20. > :18:20.
:18:20. > :19:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 51 seconds
:19:48. > :19:53.that maybe she is going to crack a 1996, the championship saw one of
:19:53. > :19:58.the greatest comebacks of all time in a fifth set between Washington
:19:58. > :20:02.and Todd Martin. Todd Martin was 5-1 up in that final set so for a place
:20:02. > :20:12.in the final a couple of times. Are we going to witness something
:20:12. > :20:40.
:20:40. > :20:50.similar here in the championship in this match and you have to admire
:20:50. > :21:01.
:21:01. > :21:06.Sabine Lisicki's fight. Still there, the sun has got to be
:21:06. > :21:16.affecting her toss because she has altered it quite dramatically. That
:21:16. > :21:16.
:21:16. > :23:02.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 51 seconds
:23:02. > :23:12.That is a big-time angle there to win that point, huge for Bartoli.
:23:12. > :23:45.
:23:45. > :23:53.Her box was on their feet there, That is very impressive given what
:23:53. > :24:03.has gone on in the 15 minutes. -- in the last 15 minutes. The opening
:24:03. > :24:07.
:24:07. > :24:17.point was big, but this is the colourful characters on the women's
:24:17. > :24:18.
:24:18. > :24:27.tour, and you can add to it that she is Wimbledon champion as well.
:24:27. > :24:33.JOHN INVERDALE: And so, at the 47th attempt, Marion Bartoli broke her
:24:33. > :24:38.grand slam duck. Pat Cash, you started it in 1987. All these years
:24:38. > :24:43.later, here is Marion Bartoli working her way up to embrace those
:24:43. > :24:49.who have done so much to help this year, her dad, who has really done
:24:49. > :24:56.everything for her over 20 years and more. And the moment she said she
:24:56. > :25:01.never thought would happen was to follow. Lisicki picking up her
:25:01. > :25:04.runners up plate. Here is Marion Bartoli, Wimbledon champion, six
:25:04. > :25:14.years after she was beaten by Venus Williams. Who knows what you was
:25:14. > :25:16.
:25:16. > :25:21.thinking as it went 5-1, 5-2, 5-3, 5-4, and in the end, and ace to take
:25:21. > :25:29.the title. SUE BARKER: You were so close, I thought you would get back
:25:29. > :25:31.into that match. I was so close, but credit to
:25:31. > :25:41.Marion, she has been in that situation before.
:25:41. > :25:45.
:25:45. > :25:55.She deserves it, I hope I will get You know, I have gleaned about this
:25:55. > :25:55.
:25:55. > :26:03.moment for so long. I know how it feels, Sabine, and I am sure,
:26:03. > :26:08.believe me, you will be there one more time, I have no doubt about it.
:26:08. > :26:17.Just a few words for my box over there. First of all, my dad, who is
:26:17. > :26:22.here with me today, it means so much. I would like to thank everyone
:26:22. > :26:28.from the crowd for supporting me today and I hope next year I will be
:26:28. > :26:34.here, as well. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, the Wimbledon champion,
:26:34. > :26:38.Marion Bartoli! JOHN INVERDALE: You can see the
:26:38. > :26:45.pictures of the champion and the runner-up, and it is so easy for
:26:45. > :26:51.people to say, this is the form, but actually it is how you cope on the
:26:51. > :26:54.day. In her press conference Marion Bartoli said that she saw fear and
:26:54. > :27:00.nervousness in Lisicki's eyes when they walked out on court and she
:27:00. > :27:03.knew she had her then. She talked about how she recognised that look
:27:03. > :27:08.from herself when she played in the final for the first time six years
:27:08. > :27:14.ago, and she knew that she had to embrace the moment even more. That
:27:14. > :27:17.was the question, who would handle the situation better? They were both
:27:17. > :27:20.playing great tennis come on paper it looked like Lisicki was more
:27:20. > :27:25.informed based on who she had beating, and when she got out there
:27:25. > :27:29.she could not play her game. That was the disappointing thing, both
:27:29. > :27:36.players do not play their best tennis for the title. But all credit
:27:36. > :27:42.to tempt into -- to Marion, she handled it brilliantly. She beat
:27:42. > :27:48.Elina Svitolina in the first round and I don't think many people were
:27:48. > :27:53.thinking, there is Bartoli's first step to the final.
:27:53. > :27:56.You can only play who is in front of you, but each match she played she
:27:56. > :28:02.was the favourite, she did not drop a set and she gained confidence on
:28:02. > :28:08.the bottom part of the door. On the other side, Lisicki talked about
:28:08. > :28:14.being so doing. She had Siew -- huge wins, beating Serena, Agnieszka
:28:14. > :28:24.Radwanska and she had nothing left in the tank. It was quite hard to
:28:24. > :28:24.
:28:24. > :28:28.watch, midway through the second set she was almost in tears. In your
:28:28. > :28:31.biggest match all eyes are on you, and in other sports you can take
:28:31. > :28:39.time out, you can sub yourself out and try and get things back
:28:39. > :28:45.together, but I was proud -- how fighting -- how hard she was
:28:45. > :28:51.fighting. She almost tied this match, 6-1 down, and you thought at
:28:51. > :28:55.the changeover at 5-4 maybe this would happen for her. You have to
:28:55. > :29:02.credit Marion, who played a wonderful game at 5-4 after the lead
:29:02. > :29:05.was slipping way. If it had gone 5-5 who knows what would have happened.
:29:05. > :29:11.She said in the press conference that she knew what she had to do at
:29:11. > :29:15.match point but her legs would not do it. Everything froze for Marion,
:29:15. > :29:22.C said the closer she got to the win her legs stopped moving. She tried
:29:22. > :29:26.to focus on hitting the ball and keeping things simple. The first
:29:26. > :29:31.point was huge. Once Marion got the lead she relaxed and started serving
:29:31. > :29:36.better and served it out like a champ. Bartoli is like a
:29:36. > :29:41.Rottweiler, she never gives up and chases every ball.
:29:41. > :29:46.She is amazing, when you watch a player you do not think, that is the
:29:46. > :29:49.best player in the world, but she fights so hard, she is eager, she
:29:49. > :29:53.wanted more than anything and she will try just about anything. If you
:29:53. > :29:56.have ever seen her train with her father you know she is willing to
:29:56. > :30:00.put in the time. People have criticised her for being unique and
:30:00. > :30:03.having a different style and some different strokes, but she has
:30:03. > :30:10.stayed the course and played the type of tennis she believes she
:30:10. > :30:15.should play, taking balls early, being unorthodox. At 28, it pays off
:30:15. > :30:20.with a Wimbledon title. remembered that match against Venus
:30:20. > :30:27.six years ago and it was at constant incentive for her, Sabine Lisicki
:30:27. > :30:30.said she was determined to come back, do you think she will? I do.
:30:30. > :30:36.When you watch Lisicki play she has a really great game. She has a
:30:36. > :30:40.couple of things she can work on, but the way she will thought through
:30:40. > :30:43.the matches against Serena and against Gasquet about her, that is
:30:43. > :30:49.not a fluke. The players she beat to get to the final, that is the real
:30:49. > :30:53.deal. It was unfortunate she did not have one more match left in her
:30:53. > :30:59.system. That is the ladies champion, who will be the men's?
:30:59. > :31:05.Tomorrow we have the grandest of grand finale is.
:31:05. > :31:10.We have a professional friendship I think, now. I don't think it goes
:31:10. > :31:15.more than friends. We have known each other since we were 11 years
:31:15. > :31:20.old. On and off the court we have a lot of respect for each other, very
:31:20. > :31:25.fear and honest relationship. Now we are big rivals. Playing big matches
:31:25. > :31:30.there is a lot on the line, you cannot be best of friends.
:31:30. > :31:37.It is the higher man from Serbia once again who starts the year with
:31:37. > :31:39.Grand Slam success. -- Ireland man. There are some similarities, both of
:31:39. > :31:44.us return well and play predominately from the baseline, we
:31:44. > :31:47.both moved well, he is extremely flexible, he slides into shots and
:31:47. > :31:54.extremely fit physically. That is why he is able to fight until the
:31:54. > :32:01.last point of every match. Into the net goes Murray and Djokovic is the
:32:01. > :32:08.champion. I am ready to go all the way, as long as it takes for me to
:32:08. > :32:13.give it all, I am ready to go on the court and give it all I have.
:32:13. > :32:18.I played him before on the grass last year, so I will take that into
:32:18. > :32:21.the match on Sunday. There is a lot of expectation, I was maybe expected
:32:21. > :32:24.to get to the final this year from earlier in the tournament.
:32:24. > :32:29.I might wake up on Sunday and be unbelievably nervous, more nervous
:32:29. > :32:32.than I ever have been, but I would not expect to beat because I have
:32:32. > :32:37.been there before and I have won the Grand Slam.
:32:37. > :32:41.Andy Murray has won his first Grand Slam!
:32:41. > :32:48.It is the biggest final and tennis you can be part of. I am honoured to
:32:48. > :32:52.be playing in it again. I know what to expect. He is a local hero and he
:32:52. > :32:57.has a big chance to win Wimbledon after a long time.
:32:57. > :33:00.Winning Wimbledon is a huge achievement for any tennis player,
:33:00. > :33:04.pretty much the pinnacle of the sport. They have been playing each
:33:04. > :33:09.other since they were juniors, so you almost think they cannot
:33:09. > :33:12.surprise each other tomorrow. What kind of game will we get?
:33:12. > :33:15.are no secrets between these two, but based on their past matches it
:33:16. > :33:19.will be highly competitive, they will leave it all out on the court.
:33:19. > :33:24.You cannot imagine the final going less than three hours, maybe four
:33:24. > :33:27.hours, because that is the type of players they are. They are so
:33:27. > :33:31.athletic, so consistent, there will be a lot of long rallies, the
:33:31. > :33:38.question is, who is going to step up a little bit more to Michael who
:33:38. > :33:41.will play a little out of your comfort zone? In terms of being
:33:42. > :33:48.aggressive, one of the big talking points throughout the championship,
:33:48. > :33:54.though it approved -- approved at the click is the second serve of
:33:54. > :34:03.money. A lot of people have said it is the predictability of the second
:34:03. > :34:09.serve. 80 plus percent -- 80% and more always goes to the backhand.
:34:09. > :34:14.Djokovic does great job of keeping his opponent guessing and Murray has
:34:14. > :34:19.to take that into account. If he is putting 80% of his serves to the
:34:19. > :34:22.backhand he wants to mix up the location a bit better. About
:34:22. > :34:27.returning the serve, which will be equally important, this is where
:34:27. > :34:31.Djokovic stands for the first and second serves. You can see there is
:34:31. > :34:38.barely a meter between his returning position. If you look at Murray, it
:34:38. > :34:43.is extraordinary the variety, there is a real differentiation they are.
:34:43. > :34:46.-- there. He focuses on making the return, giving himself more time. I
:34:46. > :34:51.like weirdly is positioned with the second serve. He is being more
:34:51. > :34:56.aggressive, taking the ball is earlier. He is trying to force
:34:56. > :35:02.himself well inside the baseline and that is a good play against
:35:02. > :35:07.Djokovic, against anyone on grass. For the way the two semifinals
:35:07. > :35:12.panned out, do they have any bearing on the final, do you think? A couple
:35:12. > :35:18.of years ago you might have thought so, but how many times as Djokovic
:35:18. > :35:24.come back after four hours match? Murray, I think he will be extremely
:35:25. > :35:31.proud of the wiki came through a semi-final. Those were conditions,
:35:31. > :35:35.closing the roof on him. The crowd was a bit split when he played
:35:35. > :35:45.Federer, it was not throw Murray, but expect the crowd to model to be
:35:45. > :35:48.all behind Andy. -- tomorrow to be all behind. I wonder if the crowd
:35:48. > :35:56.may get at Djokovic a bit. He might not like being on the receiving end
:35:56. > :35:59.of that. Possibly, he was getting annoyed when the crowd was behind
:35:59. > :36:04.Del Potro. It is different when you walk out there and you know already
:36:04. > :36:09.the crowd is going to be for your opponent. Certainly, playing here in
:36:09. > :36:15.Great Britain, everybody knows it is going to happen. It is another final
:36:15. > :36:23.for Andy, and another find all -- final four Ivan Lendl as the power
:36:23. > :36:28.behind the throne, and he has been speaking to us.
:36:28. > :36:33.Always a pleasure to speak to you at another final, which is happening
:36:33. > :36:37.with regularity. Sure, he is playing well.
:36:37. > :36:44.As a tennis fan, is a Murray -Djokovic grand slam final as good
:36:44. > :36:50.as it gets? Any time you have the world number one and two in a Grand
:36:50. > :37:00.Slam semi -- final you should not be complaining as a fan. Andy won in
:37:00. > :37:01.
:37:01. > :37:08.New York, Novak won in Melbourne, how would you compare this match to
:37:08. > :37:14.them two? I would not compare them. I see no
:37:14. > :37:20.point in competing matches. I can do sect each match, but it makes no
:37:20. > :37:27.sense to me. -- I can dissect. significant is your role generally
:37:27. > :37:30.in the success of Andy in the last 18 months? I tried to let him do
:37:30. > :37:36.what he does best. If I see something, I point it out and let
:37:36. > :37:43.Andy do what he does best. He has reached the final of the last four
:37:43. > :37:48.grand slam tournament 's he has played. Yes. I cannot find a reason
:37:48. > :37:53.he shouldn't. He is so good. When he plays well he should be getting to
:37:53. > :37:59.the semifinals and finals. Will you celebrate with him this time if he
:37:59. > :38:07.wins? Well, let's worry about the match first, we will worry about the
:38:07. > :38:11.celebrations later if it comes to it. Not giving much away at!
:38:11. > :38:18.How much has he changed money in terms of his approach to match, do
:38:18. > :38:25.you think? -- Murray. The biggest key that Ivan Lendl has
:38:25. > :38:33.brought to Murray's game, there were few people he could hire that he
:38:33. > :38:39.would have the ultimate mind of respect for, Lendl is one of those.
:38:39. > :38:43.He is much more focused in the task at hand. He had a coach that could
:38:43. > :38:47.relate to his struggles. It took Lendl a lot of grand slams before he
:38:48. > :38:54.was able to come through an Umbro finals. Andy was going through that
:38:54. > :38:58.same path. -- and Umbro finals. They have a nice balance and
:38:58. > :39:04.relationship, and when you have the success Andy has had, you have to
:39:04. > :39:08.give Lendl some credit. You think it will be over three hours, the first
:39:09. > :39:17.set is always important, but do you think it is absolutely key to model
:39:18. > :39:22.for Murray? I would think that the first set is imperative, maybe a
:39:23. > :39:28.strong word, but very important for the whole match, and that allows the
:39:28. > :39:33.player to play more freely in the second set, go for their shots more,
:39:33. > :39:37.not in -- as much urgency in that second set if you win it. That is
:39:37. > :39:47.the key for Murray. If he can be more relaxed and go for the shots on
:39:47. > :39:54.the big points, I think he will be champion. Do you? I do. I didn't
:39:54. > :39:59.even have to ask you! He has handled everything really well. He played
:39:59. > :40:04.Fernando Verdasco, and as he said he would not play that well, well, he
:40:04. > :40:08.didn't see it but we all knew it. And Djokovic, he played well against
:40:08. > :40:13.Del Potro, the best played much of the tournament so far, but a little
:40:13. > :40:19.shaky. He could have won in four and was not able to come and I think it
:40:19. > :40:29.is Murray's time. It will be 30 degrees tomorrow, the hottest day of
:40:29. > :40:29.
:40:29. > :41:25.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 51 seconds
:41:25. > :41:28.the year, and undoubtably this is are fortunate indeed and that is an
:41:29. > :41:33.edited version of a tremendous bit of television you can see at the
:41:33. > :41:36.start of our coverage tomorrow at 12:50pm. Let us settle down for how
:41:37. > :41:46.many hours it may be. Who else has been crowned Wimbledon champion
:41:47. > :41:52.
:41:52. > :41:57.grassland you're a guiding grand slam run that, needed in a Bryan
:41:57. > :42:03.slammed today. The American twins got the first set against Ivan Dodig
:42:03. > :42:08.and Marcelo Melo, the number 12 seeds. This was a minor blip amid a
:42:08. > :42:12.panoply of achievements. Three sets later the top seeds were victorious.
:42:12. > :42:17.There familiar celebratory bumps were -- meant the Bryan brothers
:42:17. > :42:21.were the first partnership to win all four majors and Olympic gold at
:42:21. > :42:26.the same time. We have had an amazing run, 24 matches in a row,
:42:26. > :42:33.the longest streak of our career. cap off our European season with a
:42:33. > :42:38.win at Wimbledon is amazing. One day when one Aussie team took a another
:42:38. > :42:48.contested the ladies double-team -- final. Ashleigh Barty and Quay
:42:48. > :42:49.
:42:49. > :42:57.Street the lack were faced Shuai Peng and his say Xue. -- Hseih
:42:57. > :43:02.Su-wei. There is a new Swiss miss to recognise, following in Martina
:43:02. > :43:05.Hingis's footsteps. Belinda Bent which today became only the sixth
:43:06. > :43:13.youngster afoot to follow-up open junior success with immediate glory
:43:13. > :43:19.in the girls singles at Wimbledon. The last player to achieve this feat
:43:19. > :43:24.was in 1996, and Martina Hingis did it in 1984. Three years later
:43:24. > :43:28.Martina Hingis was lifting the WinInstall fee. Britain was Michael
:43:28. > :43:34.bright young thing, Kyle Edmund, saw his interest in the boys competition
:43:34. > :43:44.in today in defeat in the semifinals of the doubles. The 18-year-old and
:43:44. > :43:47.
:43:47. > :43:54.his Portuguese partner bowed out A couple of interesting talking
:43:54. > :44:01.points. The ladies Junior 's winner forgot to enter! They gave her a
:44:01. > :44:03.wild card and she won! I did not have much about her -- know much
:44:03. > :44:07.about her. When Martina Hingis tells you a
:44:07. > :44:11.player is going to be good, you start to take notice. I started
:44:11. > :44:15.watching our play and I was so impressed. Anyone who can go from
:44:15. > :44:20.winning on clay to winning on grass has a great game. She has a great
:44:20. > :44:24.head on her shoulders and we will be talking about her in a few years.
:44:25. > :44:28.One of the things we have noticed in this fortnight is the gradual the
:44:28. > :44:35.surgeons of American players. Is Taylor Townsend the next in the
:44:35. > :44:40.queue? -- the resurgence. I think so. One great thing about this
:44:40. > :44:44.match, these two players came to the net more than 70 times between them.
:44:44. > :44:48.I love seeing tennis that way, it's not just making balls, they are both
:44:48. > :44:53.going for it and have all around games. I think Taylor Townsend can
:44:53. > :45:03.make an impact. That is extraordinary! Coming to the net, we
:45:03. > :45:03.
:45:03. > :45:07.must mention the Bryan brothers. To win the French, the Australian, the
:45:07. > :45:14.US and Wimbledon and the Olympics in one candle and -- calendar year is
:45:14. > :45:17.extraordinary. It is amazing and they offered -- 35 years old, we
:45:17. > :45:20.have been talking about them for over a decade. They are twins so
:45:20. > :45:28.they have an advantage against the rest of the field but this was huge
:45:28. > :45:32.for them. Two of the great guys in this sport, they give back. Now they
:45:32. > :45:37.are going to go for the calendar grand slam at the U.S. Open. It
:45:37. > :45:41.never ends with these guys, with the records they can break. This was
:45:41. > :45:45.huge for them, and there are certainly going to enjoy it tonight.
:45:45. > :45:51.A couple of big matches to come, the men's singles and the Legends final
:45:51. > :45:56.tomorrow. If we can reflect on the championship as a whole, it was a
:45:56. > :46:01.strange week, the first week, but we ended up -- it was a poor women's
:46:01. > :46:06.final in terms of quality - but it was interesting. In advance we all
:46:06. > :46:12.looked forward to it hugely. In the end we have all ended up with the
:46:12. > :46:16.first and second seed in the men's final. It all ended happily.
:46:16. > :46:20.did, and it was great to see new players break out and get some
:46:20. > :46:24.publicity. It has been so much about Serena the last two years, she
:46:24. > :46:30.regularly deserves that, but I think the WTA is showing there are other
:46:30. > :46:34.players out there that played great tennis with interesting stories.
:46:34. > :46:39.you sense a new world order or build normal service be resumed for the
:46:39. > :46:44.U.S. Open? When we get back on the hard courts, I am dubious about the
:46:44. > :46:49.injuries, it will be interesting to see how Victoria Azarenka shows up,
:46:49. > :46:54.but she always comes back strong, Serena and she will be motivated for
:46:54. > :46:59.the summer. We will see how Maria Sharapova recovers. I think we will
:46:59. > :47:05.be talking about different players in grand slams for the next few
:47:05. > :47:11.years. How many more years are we going to be talking about Serena? I
:47:11. > :47:16.think at least three. She is almost 32. I love that this generation of
:47:16. > :47:20.players, the Bryan brothers, Serena, they are not talking about
:47:20. > :47:24.retirement. All these players are still doing well, they are still
:47:24. > :47:30.successful, and I think it is great. For so long we were putting players
:47:30. > :47:36.in a box that they had to retire by 30 or 31 and they are breaking
:47:36. > :47:41.barriers. How long are we going to be talking about Roger Federer?
:47:41. > :47:46.The same. He said he wants to play in the next Olympics.
:47:46. > :47:49.He loves it. The challenge will be in the next 24 months if he is not
:47:49. > :47:53.getting to the quarterfinals and semifinals of grand slams regularly
:47:53. > :47:58.and something like Wimbledon this year keeps happening, or will it did
:47:58. > :48:04.tell -- bid terror and? Inevitably, consistency starts to drop a little
:48:04. > :48:10.bit, it is how much you can take. Interesting, John McEnroe said on
:48:10. > :48:14.the night after he knocked -- was knocked out he thought he might have
:48:14. > :48:22.to change his racket, because he was playing against guys that were ten
:48:22. > :48:26.mph faster. It is so hard when you get to the finals of 37 grand slams
:48:26. > :48:28.in a row, not much you have to change, but then upset start to
:48:28. > :48:37.happen and players are looking for new solutions, and that is an
:48:37. > :48:42.option. Maybe both Andy and Novak are
:48:42. > :48:46.watching this, what will they be doing two I think they will be very
:48:46. > :48:50.calm tonight, especially with the weather. It will be hot tomorrow,
:48:50. > :48:55.they are in for a long match, they are both resting, recovering,
:48:55. > :48:58.keeping things as calm and normal as possible. Probably not watching much
:48:58. > :49:04.tennis, trying to keep their mind off it and getting ready for game
:49:04. > :49:08.day tomorrow. Richard Krajicek was saying he watched Braveheart the
:49:08. > :49:14.night before he won here and was so inspired he watched it again the
:49:14. > :49:16.next morning before going out to win his final. In terms of the
:49:16. > :49:25.atmosphere tomorrow, how much are you looking forward to being there
:49:25. > :49:30.at what promises to be... The anticipation is going to be
:49:30. > :49:34.electric. All around the grounds, of course
:49:34. > :49:38.Centre Court, but so many people on Henman Hill, people are just waiting
:49:38. > :49:45.for this moment. They want Andy to win and he will have the nation
:49:45. > :49:50.behind him. OK, we will see. We have been saving Andy's choice of music
