:01:44. > :01:49.There were still a few well-known The proverbial manic Monday. The

:01:49. > :01:53.last 16 of the men's and women's competition. It was more like first

:01:53. > :01:57.Monday than second Monday. Tracy has been too many championships in her

:01:57. > :02:04.time and has seen it all. If there was one certainty about this

:02:04. > :02:10.championship - if you do want to watch the chocolate of itch -- the

:02:10. > :02:13.Djokovic match, it is on the red button. If there was one certainty

:02:13. > :02:21.about this championship, it would be that Serena Williams would reach the

:02:21. > :02:26.final. Against her today was Sabine Lisicki of Germany, trying to

:02:26. > :02:33.inflict a fourth defeat on Sabina since May last year. She clearly

:02:33. > :02:38.hadn't read the script because, what on earth is going on here? The first

:02:38. > :02:43.set goes to the German. Serena Williams is not one of the champions

:02:44. > :02:49.to end all champions without having that determination, that resolution

:02:49. > :02:54.and that absolute winning mentality. Some absolutely barnstorming tennis

:02:54. > :02:58.from Serena in the second set. Big winners all over the place.

:02:58. > :03:05.Suddenly, she was intimidating the Lisicki serve, which had been a key

:03:05. > :03:15.element of the German's success. In the third set, here is Serena

:03:15. > :03:40.

:03:40. > :03:46.I would say they are pretty loose nets here at Wimbledon, because of

:03:46. > :03:56.the net post and the natural grass. They usually go over. The crowd

:03:56. > :03:56.

:03:56. > :04:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:04:48. > :04:56.The crowd really trying to lift UMPIRE: Correction. The ball was

:04:56. > :05:00.good. Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Williams is challenging the call on

:05:00. > :05:06.the left baseline. A key stage in this final set, because although

:05:06. > :05:11.Serena is up a break, it is used. Lisicki will feel a little

:05:11. > :05:15.aggrieved, because that shot was called out. It was right on the

:05:15. > :05:25.baseline. She was in the ascendancy on the rally. Of course, we are

:05:25. > :05:31.

:05:31. > :05:41.going to have to replay the point at Just the one break of serve, of

:05:41. > :05:53.

:05:53. > :06:03.It is the first break point that Lisicki has had since the first set,

:06:03. > :06:14.

:06:14. > :06:24.Game on again! JOHN INVERDALE: You are not kidding!

:06:24. > :06:35.

:06:35. > :06:40.Let's move onto 4-4. This is the Serena must be thinking way in the

:06:40. > :06:50.back of her head, how did I get in this position in the third set? I

:06:50. > :07:10.

:07:10. > :07:20.was up 3-1, 40-15 on my serve, You don't get many opportunities

:07:20. > :07:37.

:07:37. > :07:47.against Serena Williams. You have to Serena knew she had been let off the

:07:47. > :07:47.

:07:47. > :08:33.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:08:33. > :08:43.4-4, 30-30, final set. The moments you train all those hours for. Can

:08:43. > :08:43.

:08:43. > :09:30.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:09:30. > :09:40.you produce your best when it Lisicki had Serena on her back foot

:09:40. > :09:57.

:09:57. > :10:07.That's what great champions do in a moment of crisis. Get that first

:10:07. > :10:07.

:10:07. > :10:49.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:10:49. > :10:59.OK, so the dropshots have not worked other times. But it certainly did

:10:59. > :11:00.

:11:00. > :11:05.there. Serena Williams losing her How she got that back, when the

:11:05. > :11:15.world was flying all over the place! Remarkable effort, but Lisicki stays

:11:15. > :11:35.

:11:35. > :11:45.It was out! And Serena isn't challenging it. It is a break of

:11:45. > :11:45.

:11:45. > :12:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:12:55. > :13:05.Her sister knows that Serena will not go away. Great champions don't

:13:05. > :13:05.

:13:05. > :14:02.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:14:02. > :14:12.Lisicki would dearly love a huge Its matchpoint against the

:14:12. > :14:13.

:14:13. > :14:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:14:55. > :15:05.champion. The only champion left in Third double fault.

:15:05. > :15:05.

:15:05. > :16:46.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:16:46. > :16:53.And in the blink of an eye, we go I'm so happy. It was a wonderful

:16:53. > :16:59.moment, wasn't it? Yes. Serena played a fantastic match. She's such

:16:59. > :17:04.a tough opponent. Just amazing feeling to win this match. The crowd

:17:04. > :17:12.was so amazing. Thank you for this. The crowd were fantastic with you,

:17:12. > :17:18.weren't they? It is such a special place. The great thing was, even

:17:18. > :17:23.when things were not going your way, you still managed to smile. How do

:17:23. > :17:30.you do that? She played some unbelievable shots. I was fighting

:17:30. > :17:34.for every single point and just hanging in there. It's unbelievable.

:17:34. > :17:43.I definitely feel like I could have went for it a little more on some of

:17:43. > :17:48.the shots, and Oprah Winfrey should have made some shots. -- and

:17:48. > :17:53.definitely should have made some shots. She always plays well, so I

:17:53. > :18:00.knew going in it would be a tough match. There is huge room for

:18:00. > :18:06.improvement for me. Rafa going out, Roger going out, Serena going out...

:18:06. > :18:11.Arguably, this is the biggest surprise so far, because she has

:18:11. > :18:18.been untouchable this year. Serena has won three of the last four Grand

:18:18. > :18:22.Slam is, plus the Olympics. She has only lost three times in the last 12

:18:22. > :18:27.months. So she was the clear favourite. When Azarenka and Maria

:18:28. > :18:33.go out, she is the bigger favourite. We all knew, going into Magic

:18:33. > :18:38.Monday, that this was the toughest fourth round match. Lisicki is very

:18:38. > :18:42.dangerous here at Wimbledon. Many people were saying that Lisicki was

:18:42. > :18:46.the only player left in the draw that could touch Serena, by virtue

:18:46. > :18:53.of the fact that she wouldn't be intimidated and she had the

:18:53. > :18:57.weapons. She has the second biggest serve behind Serena. It put so much

:18:57. > :19:04.pressure on Serena to hold her serve. Serena played a couple of

:19:04. > :19:09.loose points and a couple of unusual and forced errors. She lost her

:19:09. > :19:17.serve and there goes the set bomber when Lisicki is playing that well.

:19:17. > :19:23.All events are determined by timing, largely. At 3-1 in the final set,

:19:23. > :19:28.was that the determining factor? Serena lost the first set, and in

:19:28. > :19:34.the second set and part of the third set, she went on a string of winning

:19:34. > :19:40.nine games in a row. She was cruising. Lisicki then got a letter

:19:40. > :19:47.call, and Serena hit a forehand deep. She thought it was going to go

:19:47. > :19:52.long so she stopped, and she was not ready for the ball. She hit it wide.

:19:52. > :19:58.We will talk more in a second, but let's go live now to Centre Court.

:19:58. > :20:02.We left this match on BBC Two earlier on. Here is the number one

:20:02. > :20:08.seed, Novak Djokovic, against Tommy Haas. A lot of people thought this

:20:08. > :20:14.was going to be a much tougher match than it has seemed to have been for

:20:14. > :20:18.Djokovic here. He seems to be steamrolling him. Haas had a break

:20:18. > :20:22.of serve in the second set, and here we are with Djokovic just two points

:20:22. > :20:31.away from the match. What do you make of Djokovic's pastor this

:20:32. > :20:38.point? He has played incredible. It is worth mentioning, 35 years old,

:20:38. > :20:44.Tommy Haas. He was formerly number two in the world. He beat Djokovic

:20:44. > :20:49.in Miami earlier this year. We thought this could be a dangerous

:20:49. > :20:53.match for Djokovic, but he is playing so solid. After that huge

:20:53. > :20:58.disappointment for Djokovic at the French Open, losing in the

:20:58. > :21:04.semifinals, when he was up in the final set. That was his big goal

:21:04. > :21:11.this year, to win the French Open. A huge disappointment. He has come

:21:11. > :21:19.back very nicely. If Tommy Haas gets it back to 5-4, maybe there is life

:21:19. > :21:29.in this match yet. We will go across to update you in a second. This is a

:21:29. > :21:42.

:21:42. > :21:47.We can see that Djokovic is not a man who is going to let the German

:21:47. > :21:52.back into the match easily. Let's nip across to Court One very

:21:52. > :21:59.quickly. This is a marvellous contrast in style. A great game to

:21:59. > :22:05.watch. If this goes to a fifth set, it might not finish tonight. Berdych

:22:05. > :22:10.took the fourth set, and it is 1-1 in the fourth currently. It was 40

:22:10. > :22:16.years ago, the boycott year, that written last had a winner in the

:22:16. > :22:21.last 16 round in both the men's and women's singles. In those days, it

:22:21. > :22:25.was Roger Taylor and Virginia Wade. Today, hopefully, it was going to be

:22:25. > :22:33.Andy Murray and Laura Robson. Laura Robson was up against Kaia Kanepi of

:22:33. > :22:39.Estonia. Kanepi is very erratic player. She only just beat Tara

:22:39. > :22:45.Moore on the opening couple of days of this championship. Let's join the

:22:45. > :22:55.match at 4-4 in the first set. Service very much dominant at this

:22:55. > :22:55.

:22:55. > :24:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:24:07. > :24:17.Laura's parents now live in Athens. Mum is still there. Dad is here

:24:17. > :24:17.

:24:17. > :25:27.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:25:27. > :25:32.JOHN INVERDALE: You could hear that cheer all over the grounds here of

:25:32. > :25:38.SW19. But here is Kanepi with two chances to break back, to make it

:25:38. > :25:45.five apiece. Sadly, that wayward forehand from Robson meant it was

:25:45. > :25:55.5-5. That opportunity had gone. And here is Laura in complete control -

:25:55. > :26:02.

:26:02. > :26:12.Kanepi did a great job of fighting off a very good Robson returns right

:26:12. > :26:12.

:26:12. > :27:34.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:27:34. > :27:44.Big deep breaths needed here. From Got it! Four points in a row for

:27:44. > :28:11.

:28:11. > :28:21.It is the Estonian with the Huge! Forehand returns don't get any

:28:21. > :28:24.

:28:24. > :28:29.better than that! Hangs in this opening set. Suddenly, the pressure

:28:29. > :28:39.was off Robson there. At 5-2, you could see the nerves played a

:28:39. > :28:39.

:28:39. > :29:27.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:29:27. > :29:37.factor. But here, she loosened up and it was there. Second setpoint,

:29:37. > :30:07.

:30:07. > :30:11.the break in 49 minutes. JOHN INVERDALE: A disappointing

:30:11. > :30:19.finale to that and things were not looking too clever and 5-5 in the

:30:19. > :30:29.second set when Laura Robson lost her serve. She is a fighter, we know

:30:29. > :30:46.

:30:46. > :30:56.that, so Kanepi was by no means home Unforced errors from Robson have

:30:56. > :31:12.

:31:12. > :31:22.really been the difference so far in wall in her last match. Let's see if

:31:22. > :31:22.

:31:22. > :32:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:32:54. > :33:04.Challenging. UMPIRE: Ms Kanepi is challenging the

:33:04. > :33:04.

:33:04. > :33:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:33:52. > :33:57.UMPIRE: Would deuce, Ms Kanepi has their hands on that first ball

:33:57. > :34:07.tiles. That was inevitable, why she did not catch that first served

:34:07. > :34:07.

:34:07. > :35:09.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:35:09. > :35:19.Torres and start over... -- first A couple of big first serves have

:35:19. > :35:36.

:35:36. > :35:42.made life a bit easier for Kanepi in I am absolutely gutted I could not

:35:42. > :35:46.win today. Kaia played a very solid match and she was tough off the

:35:46. > :35:51.ground, so I knew going into it it would be a very hard match, but I

:35:51. > :35:55.had my chances and did not take them. You must be very proud, the

:35:55. > :36:00.first British woman to reach the second week of Wimbledon in 25

:36:00. > :36:04.years. What other positives you will take away?

:36:04. > :36:08.In the last three matches I have really fought for the win, I was not

:36:08. > :36:13.playing my best tennis and managed to get through them, so that is

:36:13. > :36:17.something to take forward into the next tournaments.

:36:17. > :36:22.Drained and understandably a bit desolate other -- after that but she

:36:22. > :36:29.has had a terrific nine days here. We go out into Court number one.

:36:29. > :36:34.We go out into Court number one. Novak Djokovic is up, that set is

:36:34. > :36:38.going into a tie-break. You can watch that on the red button if you

:36:38. > :36:44.want to and the match on Court number one so full of intrigue has

:36:44. > :36:47.Tomas Berdych now 4-3 up. He is on Tomas Berdych now 4-3 up. He is on

:36:47. > :36:51.the cusp of going through to the quarterfinals. We will talk about

:36:51. > :36:56.Laura Robson in a moment, but with her going out British hopes now rest

:36:56. > :37:01.entirely with Andy Murray and he was up against Mikhail Youzhny today

:37:01. > :37:08.from Russia, a man who was touted as potential world number one but these

:37:08. > :37:11.days is perhaps more famous as being the best racket smasher on tour.

:37:11. > :37:21.Murray won the first set conclusively, but in the second set

:37:21. > :37:58.

:37:58. > :38:06.the Russian started to improve That is the one part of his game

:38:06. > :38:13.that has surprised me, his passing shots have been so-so.

:38:13. > :38:23.He is feeling stressed, too, no doubt about it. It has really taken

:38:23. > :38:33.

:38:33. > :38:37.up in the latter part of this set. Phenomenal.

:38:37. > :38:42.That is where all of these sprints on the track paid off. That just

:38:42. > :38:52.make give him the lift he needs now to get this set.

:38:52. > :39:03.

:39:03. > :39:13.Again, Youzhny is not covering that Whoops.

:39:13. > :39:13.

:39:13. > :39:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:39:56. > :40:04.And listen to the crowd. As he That backhand up the line has really

:40:04. > :40:09.worked for Youzhny. It wasn't that easy volley, he was

:40:09. > :40:19.still behind the service line when he had to play at. He controlled it

:40:19. > :40:19.

:40:19. > :41:08.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:41:08. > :41:11.will but still has another break That is in.

:41:11. > :41:18.Youzhny is definitely challenging, he feels he was chipped there and

:41:18. > :41:22.would have been in position to win that point. He will be very

:41:22. > :41:29.frustrated if Hawk-Eye proves him right.

:41:29. > :41:35.Wait until he finds out he lost the point, to!

:41:35. > :41:45.I think you would have found a way to argue with Hawk-Eye.

:41:45. > :42:07.

:42:07. > :42:13.subdued Centre Court until that point, but with Andy and his

:42:13. > :42:23.cheerleaders things resumed with an emphatic victory. And who better to

:42:23. > :42:28.talk about that than Andy Murray? What did you make of that? It was a

:42:28. > :42:32.tough match, first set I got an early break. I finished the set of

:42:32. > :42:37.fairly well and in the second set went above break. He came back and

:42:37. > :42:43.there was a lot of ups and downs in that set. I managed to get a break

:42:43. > :42:47.and had a chance to break at 5-5, then he was three up on the break

:42:47. > :42:53.and I reeled off three or four good points and that was really

:42:53. > :42:56.important. I mentioned the crowd seemed a bit

:42:56. > :42:59.subdued. I came expecting a fantastic atmosphere because the

:42:59. > :43:03.atmosphere for Laura's game was extraordinary and it seemed a bit

:43:03. > :43:10.flat, and it almost seemed as if you had to be the person to orchestrate

:43:10. > :43:13.the crowd getting involved. I think it was more that at the start of the

:43:13. > :43:21.match the crowd was not fooled. Everyone stayed through Serena's

:43:21. > :43:26.match and that was a massive shock. -- the crowd was not full. We went

:43:26. > :43:30.off to the lounge for drinks and stuff, but I tried to get myself up

:43:30. > :43:36.for the second set because it was very tight, I was pretty tense and

:43:36. > :43:42.had to release a bit of emotion. This is appalling name-dropping, but

:43:42. > :43:46.I ended up watching the match with Nick Grimshaw, the Radio 1 breakfast

:43:46. > :43:50.DJ. He is not a great tennis watcher and towards the end of the second

:43:50. > :43:55.set, when you had a couple of wobbles on second serves and double

:43:55. > :44:04.faults, he was saying, does Andy get nervous? I said I would ask you

:44:04. > :44:07.later. As you are here, argue nervous? -- argue nervous two I

:44:07. > :44:13.think at the end of the second set when things are going well, and your

:44:13. > :44:17.opponent is serving for the second set, you are a bit nervous.

:44:17. > :44:22.Things are going smoothly and then it turns around. With the scoring

:44:22. > :44:26.system we have in tennis, that is what happens all the time. It is a

:44:26. > :44:29.great scoring system, there are a lot of momentum shifts and you have

:44:29. > :44:36.to try and keep the momentum with you as much as possible, and it is

:44:36. > :44:40.not easy to do. You mentioned Serena being knocked out as you walked on,

:44:40. > :44:46.almost, was there an element of you thinking, not another of the big

:44:46. > :44:49.names going! I think the whole tournament has been like that. For a

:44:49. > :44:55.few days it was difficult to concentrate, not only because of the

:44:55. > :45:01.upsets, but with so many injuries and people slipping, a lot of people

:45:01. > :45:05.not stepping onto the court, you are just a little tentative walking onto

:45:05. > :45:12.the court, and obviously today just before I went on we saw the end of

:45:12. > :45:16.Serena's match and it was a huge surprise. She was on a 30 odd match

:45:16. > :45:23.winning streak, she had not lost for a long time and was looking good for

:45:23. > :45:27.the title, but that just shows with this port you cannot take anyone for

:45:27. > :45:33.granted. -- with this sport. If anyone as good as her can lose,

:45:33. > :45:38.there is no reason I cannot. That is why I need to be ready. I was

:45:38. > :45:42.curious, Andy, how are you feeling? After Queen's, now you have not lost

:45:42. > :45:45.a set, you seem to be playing so aggressively and you are using the

:45:45. > :45:55.crowd more. I don't think I have ever seen you more relaxed, but how

:45:55. > :45:56.

:45:56. > :46:00.are you feeling two --? The start of the week was tough, my

:46:00. > :46:05.first couple of matches I prepared well, Queen's went well, I got a

:46:05. > :46:11.good bit of training after that on the grass, I feel good. I started

:46:11. > :46:15.well and I have to try and keep that going. We had the big upset at the

:46:15. > :46:19.start of the day but normal service has been resumed with you winning

:46:19. > :46:29.and Novak Djokovic Chas just won in the last few seconds in a four set

:46:29. > :46:34.

:46:34. > :46:38.tie-break against Tommy Haas. 35 years old, but a bridge too far,

:46:38. > :46:43.and Djokovic goes through without losing a set.

:46:43. > :46:51.Also, the match has finished almost simultaneously, Bernard Tomic

:46:51. > :46:54.against Thomas Burdick. -- Tomas Berdych. You would have

:46:54. > :46:57.-- Tomas Berdych. You would have kind of expected that, all the talk

:46:57. > :47:04.about this is a random championship, but actually there are

:47:04. > :47:08.some very handy players still in. Yes, in the top half you have Juan

:47:08. > :47:18.Martin Del Potro, Thomas Burdick, Novak Djokovic Chas gone through, as

:47:18. > :47:18.

:47:19. > :47:26.well, David Ferrer and everyone of them is a top ten player.

:47:26. > :47:31.In my heart, my opponent, he has beaten me before, Jerzy Janowicz, he

:47:31. > :47:40.serves at 140 mph, he is a big boy. No one can be taken lightly, so it

:47:40. > :47:43.is still all to play for. And you still take each game as it comes?

:47:43. > :47:51.Obviously at this stage you know who is left in and what is going on and

:47:51. > :47:56.you can work it out. But I'm not getting ahead of myself, like I said

:47:56. > :48:05.earlier, with the guys and girls who have lost, or are women who have

:48:05. > :48:09.lost so, -- who have lost so far, sorry, you cannot get ahead of

:48:09. > :48:12.yourself. I am not sure which category Laura Robson would fall

:48:12. > :48:19.into. We were showing Laura Robson's game before, what did you

:48:19. > :48:23.make of that? She has to take the positives from this but today will

:48:23. > :48:29.be a huge disappointment because she was serving in the first set, and

:48:29. > :48:34.she had 5-2, in the tiebreaker she had 5-2, Kaia Kanepi is a lot more

:48:34. > :48:39.experience, a lot older. Laura Robson beat Mariel -- Maria

:48:39. > :48:43.Kirilenko and the next two matches she was supposed to win. Before she

:48:43. > :48:46.she was supposed to win. Before she came from behind and fought through.

:48:46. > :48:52.Today I was glad to see her so gutted in the best conference

:48:52. > :48:56.because it means she expects more and is not content. Use it have seen

:48:56. > :49:03.her, she was like a deflated balloon. In a sense, you otherwise I

:49:03. > :49:07.will, what would you say to her after an eventful week?

:49:07. > :49:14.I think it is nice to see when young players clear a lot, obviously. She

:49:14. > :49:18.is very, very young. -- when young players care. I think if she is

:49:18. > :49:23.given enough time to enjoy her tennis for a few years and mature

:49:23. > :49:27.and learn more about her game, she is working with Miles Maclagan now,

:49:27. > :49:31.who I worked with, he will work very hard, he is a good guy, she is going

:49:31. > :49:34.to keep getting better. But she is still very young and she will have

:49:34. > :49:37.the a lot from the last few days because they will be more pressure

:49:37. > :49:40.on her. It is the first time she has

:49:40. > :49:44.probably played at Wimbledon where she has been expected to win matches

:49:44. > :49:50.and I think she handled that well. I saw bits of the match today and it

:49:50. > :49:55.could have gone either way, it was very close. She is going to be a

:49:55. > :49:59.very good player for a long time if she keeps working hard. If she is

:49:59. > :50:03.given time to enjoy her tennis for a while. Thank you for coming in. A

:50:03. > :50:07.lot of media after a match that ended hours ago but get a good

:50:07. > :50:12.night's sleep and we will see you on Wednesday.

:50:12. > :50:16.With Laura Robson out Agnieszka Radwanska is the highest seeded

:50:16. > :50:22.player left in the women's drawer and there are some unfamiliar names

:50:22. > :50:27.left. And then there were two. Serena Williams exit leaves just a

:50:27. > :50:36.couple of names left to win the Grand Slam singles poofy.

:50:36. > :50:42.Today on Court three, the eighth seeded Czech brought all her

:50:42. > :50:47.experienced to be in holding up Carla Suarez Navarro. She is two

:50:47. > :50:55.wins away at another crack at this listing.

:50:55. > :51:00.China's Na Li is another potential. She gave the clearest hint yet she

:51:00. > :51:06.may well double her major haul from Saturday. Marion Bartoli has been a

:51:06. > :51:13.finalist before losing to Venus Williams in 2007. On court 12 today

:51:13. > :51:15.the number 15 seed from France swept aside Karin Knapp to reach her

:51:15. > :51:19.second Wimbledon quarterfinal in three years. It is something

:51:19. > :51:24.likeable about a player who once admitted she was not blind, tall or

:51:24. > :51:30.thin enough to have a clothes sponsor. -- not blonde. She has won

:51:30. > :51:35.now purely because she is good enough. Sloane Stephens, the

:51:35. > :51:39.American youngster has a winning image and a game to match, as shown

:51:39. > :51:44.in her comeback win over Puerto Rico's Monica Puig today.

:51:44. > :51:50.A second Grand Slam quarter of a final -- quarterfinal of the year

:51:50. > :51:55.for Sloane Stephens. And to the deal of Kirsten Flipkens,

:51:55. > :52:03.whose surname if folks thoughts of Beatrix Potter and ten years ago won

:52:03. > :52:09.the junior title here. She once played against Kim Clijsters, and

:52:09. > :52:13.she can now boast about beating a quarterfinalist. Funny to think she

:52:13. > :52:23.had just won three matches in her previous fall Wimbledon singles

:52:23. > :52:29.adventures. This is Agnieszka Radwanska going

:52:29. > :52:39.through, she lost the first set but won it in three.

:52:39. > :52:41.

:52:41. > :52:49.She is the highest seed left and places against Li Na. She is a

:52:49. > :52:56.tricky grass court player. It is nice to be -- nice to see

:52:56. > :53:02.Radwanska, the finalist here last year.

:53:02. > :53:05.That was much point, and Radwanska safely through to the draw. It now

:53:05. > :53:15.looks like this, just aid standing in the quarterfinals will be played

:53:15. > :53:19.

:53:19. > :53:25.have had on that one being the last eight? What do you think of those

:53:25. > :53:34.four matches? Sabine Lisicki is playing well now. She took out

:53:34. > :53:37.Samantha Stosur in three sets, Radwanska and ten one, that is at

:53:37. > :53:42.half matchup. Sloane Stephens and Marion Bartoli, Sloane Stephens said

:53:42. > :53:48.she will have a Grand Slam soon. Maybe it could be in the next few

:53:48. > :53:58.days. The men's drawer is no more

:53:58. > :54:04.

:54:04. > :54:12.straightforward, a few strange names Week two of Wimbledon but not quite

:54:12. > :54:16.as we know it. Some players are in the land of make-believe. Lukasz

:54:16. > :54:24.Kubot 's dream was first induced by a walkover against Steve Darcis in

:54:24. > :54:29.round two. Adrian Mannarino had his opponent, John Isner, which brought

:54:29. > :54:39.after just two games on that same wacky Wednesday. Lukasz Kubot,

:54:39. > :54:40.

:54:40. > :54:46.ranked 130, faced Adrian Mannarino, at 111,, for a porter final place.

:54:46. > :54:56.-- for a quarterfinal place. Lukasz Kubot won the decider and is no high

:54:56. > :54:57.

:54:57. > :55:03.stepping it into the last eight at his native Poland, Jerzy Janowicz

:55:03. > :55:08.jointing after a five set win of his own over Austin melts. It is a first

:55:08. > :55:11.for Polish tennis, the exact opposite of a shoe in. There is no

:55:11. > :55:17.-- now know keeping these poles apart, they will collide in the

:55:17. > :55:23.semis. Imagine this, Kenny De Schepper, the

:55:23. > :55:28.Dutch sounding Frenchman, in the last 16. A few weeks ago he lost in

:55:28. > :55:33.the first round to Kyle Edmund at Eastbourne. But today he won in

:55:33. > :55:38.straight sets. I wonder if he will be able to get quite such a groove

:55:38. > :55:42.on against Andy Murray in the quarters.

:55:42. > :55:47.Ivan Dodig, Wimbledon quarterfinalist. That has a strange,

:55:47. > :55:53.almost unimaginable sound to it, but for two sets today on Court 2 it was

:55:53. > :55:57.anything but odd as he took on David Ferrer. Ivan Dodig won the first and

:55:57. > :56:07.took the Spaniard to a second set tie-break, but having lost that he

:56:07. > :56:10.

:56:10. > :56:14.lost his way. The Croatian Ivan contender in week two, even though

:56:14. > :56:19.seeded 23 he should have been banished before now. It was up to

:56:19. > :56:25.former US Open champion Juan Martin Del Potro to give him a reality

:56:25. > :56:30.check. A straight sets victory for the Argentinian eights seed. Now he

:56:30. > :56:36.meets David Ferrer. Each will believe their semi-final deemed far

:56:36. > :56:43.from fantasy. Better late than never, you might say.

:56:43. > :56:52.What are we doing tonight? What did you make of Serena going out?

:56:52. > :56:57.I cannot believe it, how did she lose? I have to hand it to Sabine

:56:57. > :57:01.Lisicki, that was awesome, to stick with it and be able to pull off the

:57:01. > :57:10.monumental upset, to keep this crazy tournament, as crazy as it has ever

:57:10. > :57:19.been. Your thoughts on the quarterfinals tomorrow?

:57:19. > :57:29.Let me get my coin out? If you flip a coin, where would it go? At the

:57:29. > :57:31.

:57:31. > :57:37.moment I would have to go with Kvitova. She has won here before but

:57:37. > :57:42.she has so many highs and lows it is unpredictable.

:57:42. > :57:47.The big match tomorrow, Agnieszka Radwanska against Li Na and Petra

:57:47. > :57:52.Kvitova against Kirsten Flipkens. Then it is Sloane Stephens against
