:00:00. > :00:00.Doubles finals we have seen for years. What a spectacular way to
:00:00. > :00:08.finish Ladies' Singles final day, which has been eventful in its own
:00:09. > :00:12.way. Welcome to the highlights show. Inevitably truncated but well worth
:00:13. > :00:16.staying. Brilliant bit of entertainment. How fantastic to see
:00:17. > :00:21.such natural and unbridled uncontrolled joy. Fantastic. To the
:00:22. > :00:27.Ladies' Singles final, many hours ago. If history is written, this is
:00:28. > :00:32.how Marion Bartoli recalls her day of days last year.
:00:33. > :00:37.When I was a little girl, it was my dream to one day play here at
:00:38. > :00:46.Wimbledon. When you enter those gates and you
:00:47. > :00:54.are stepping on the court to play, it is overwhelming. Just the feel of
:00:55. > :00:59.your feet when you walk down the grass and the Way you Move and the
:01:00. > :01:01.ball bounces and you hit a shot... It is not physical, it is about the
:01:02. > :01:12.rhythm, the timing, the pure tennis. When I walked out for my first final
:01:13. > :01:20.in 2007 I felt so excited I felt like I was going to explode.
:01:21. > :01:27.For the fourth time, Venus Williams reigned supreme at Wimbledon. Seeing
:01:28. > :01:31.someone lifting the winner 's trophy and you are standing there, it is
:01:32. > :01:35.the worst feeling in the world. It is the worst place, to be second.
:01:36. > :01:48.It took me six years to be there again. It was a long time.
:01:49. > :01:58.When I close my eyes, I can picture myself, about to serve four match
:01:59. > :02:02.points. -- serve four match point. The rush of blood that goes from
:02:03. > :02:07.your heart to your legs, knowing it is almost there, it is like you are
:02:08. > :02:12.ten seconds away, maybe, an emotion away.
:02:13. > :02:18.My heartbeat started to go so fast. I wanted to win, so badly.
:02:19. > :02:38.It is my home, the place I treasure the most. It will stay in my heart
:02:39. > :02:49.forever. I am sure they recall the grand slam
:02:50. > :02:52.days with similar affection and never to be forgotten. They will
:02:53. > :02:57.talk about what happened today on Centre Court. A lunchtime shower met
:02:58. > :03:00.somebody somewhere in the bowels had their finger poised on the roof.
:03:01. > :03:04.Because they might have had to close it but they didn't. At 2pm this
:03:05. > :03:13.afternoon, we were able to get underway. Eugenie Bouchard and
:03:14. > :04:00.Patrick voter for a potentially defining day in their lives.
:04:01. > :04:06.It is incredible, the strength she has to stay so low through the shot
:04:07. > :04:13.She gets down so well but she stays with it, and that is what makes her,
:04:14. > :04:24.one of the reasons that makes her so comfortable and good on grass.
:04:25. > :04:32.I tell you one thing, they aren't battling nerve, it would appear.
:04:33. > :04:34.Crushed that return As you said Kvitova, her first service game, she
:04:35. > :05:35.is ready to go early. It is unstoppable when she hits the
:05:36. > :05:38.ball like that. Absolutely magnificent ball
:05:39. > :05:42.striking. Simple as that Bouchard is going to have to try and do
:05:43. > :05:44.something to get it out of Kvitova's strike zone but it is not easy, the
:05:45. > :06:40.ball is coming so hard and heavy. You need to slice that more, it had
:06:41. > :06:43.a kick that will lowed Kvitova time to get out there. It wasn't really
:06:44. > :06:50.going away from her. Stunner. Gorgeous hitting from
:06:51. > :07:00.Kvitova. What a winner that was and Kvitova
:07:01. > :07:02.was seeing it like a football, like a preverbial football. Here she is
:07:03. > :08:23.5-2, serving for the first set. That is one of the few points
:08:24. > :08:32.Bouchard has been able to get on top of the rally first.
:08:33. > :08:35.That is where brouch is most comfortable, playing offensive
:08:36. > :08:59.tennis. -- Bouchard. She hasn't been able to do that so far.
:09:00. > :09:08.One of the first shot's Kvitova's guided top Bouchard, she has a
:09:09. > :09:12.chance to hang in this set. Found the line, gives her a chance of
:09:13. > :09:32.having a lifeline in this opening set.
:09:33. > :09:38.Just the fifth time that Kvitova has been broke none the tournament, and
:09:39. > :09:44.incredibly only faced 17 break points so far. Very low number.
:09:45. > :09:46.Bouchard good enough to take the opportunity when it presented
:09:47. > :10:35.itself. Looks like she going up the line, in
:10:36. > :10:39.the last split second she uses that right arm and wrist, to pull it back
:10:40. > :10:43.crosscourt, tell to tell where that is going. -- tough to tell where
:10:44. > :11:07.that is going. And that shot is working today for
:11:08. > :11:10.Kvitova. Here, the one big step, but keeps her shoulders turns and John
:11:11. > :11:15.said that right wrist doing all the work.
:11:16. > :12:10.I think they would have been on Plan C if that had gone in, very quickly.
:12:11. > :12:43.Two set points come and gone for Kvitova.
:12:44. > :12:51.But not the third one. Hugely impressive from the Czech and
:12:52. > :12:53.midway through the second set, the run away train was heading over the
:12:54. > :13:10.hill. Here she is, 3-0 up. Stay low against the tall six footer
:13:11. > :14:45.from the Czech Republic. Doesn't seem to have the spring in
:14:46. > :14:51.her legs we have seen during the event.
:14:52. > :15:29.And this is when she really needs it.
:15:30. > :15:41.Yes! She has all the answers, today, Kvitova.
:15:42. > :15:46.Even though I want to see a close match, I don't want to see this
:15:47. > :15:56.level drop, because it's a pleasure to see. I hope Bouchard can get
:15:57. > :16:05.better. It doesn't seem likely at the moment. Trying to force that
:16:06. > :16:10.first serve a bit in this game. She has been off balance a number of
:16:11. > :16:13.times, finishing it. Because that is what is coming when she delivers the
:16:14. > :16:41.second. My goodness. I was all set to say
:16:42. > :16:45.that even when, it reminded me of playing Pete Sampras, who I had a
:16:46. > :16:49.miserable time, the few times we played. Even when you won games you
:16:50. > :16:55.didn't feel like you had a lot to do with it. But she didn't even win the
:16:56. > :17:00.game she I thought I was going to win, Bouchard. Four down. Kvitova is
:17:01. > :17:21.unbelievable at shot making. There was a thing of beauty three
:17:22. > :17:25.year ago, the way she came out, Kvitova in her first Grand Slam
:17:26. > :17:29.final and upset Sharapova. Sharapova the favourite in that. This has been
:17:30. > :17:33.even more impressive. She is playing some of the best tennis I have ever
:17:34. > :18:00.seen. Let's see, I got nine... I think I'm
:18:01. > :18:43.safe at the moment. To coin a phrase from you American,
:18:44. > :18:48.this has been simply awesome from Kvitova.
:18:49. > :19:07.-- Americans. Right now Bouchard is just hoping to
:19:08. > :19:59.try and get to an hour. 53 minutes. She should just watch tapes of this
:20:00. > :20:02.for the rest of her life. No matter what Bouchard tries, it doesn't seem
:20:03. > :20:21.to matter at all. Trying to get on the board. She
:20:22. > :20:34.simply hasn't been allowed the luxury to do what she normally does.
:20:35. > :20:43.You feel as thousand the engraver is just about to finish the A at the
:20:44. > :20:45.end of Kvitova, on the Venus Rosewater Dish. It is championship
:20:46. > :21:16.point. Up game, set and match Miss Kvitova.
:21:17. > :21:20.Her second Wimbledon title. How many more will there potentially be? That
:21:21. > :21:27.was one of the most special performances we have ever witnessed
:21:28. > :21:32.on Centre Court in a final here. Absolutely outstanding from Petra
:21:33. > :21:39.Kvitova. And everybody up standing as they should be. JOHN INVERDALE:
:21:40. > :21:45.Bouchard won just seven points in the second set. There was one that
:21:46. > :21:51.lasted less time years ago. Ki was the champion, lots of thank yous for
:21:52. > :21:57.coach, mum and dad, but the biggest hug at all reserved for the trophy.
:21:58. > :22:02.Very close to her heart. I know this is hard but everyone
:22:03. > :22:09.would love to hear from you. You were up against a player in top form
:22:10. > :22:15.today. Yes, first of all I would like to congratulate Petra. She has
:22:16. > :22:21.played fantastic these two weeks, it was tough for me but I am proud of
:22:22. > :22:28.how I played this tournament. I love coming coming back to Wimbledon. So
:22:29. > :22:32.thank you you guys. The Petra, the game plan, that worked. Definitely.
:22:33. > :22:38.I had a great tactic from my coach. He knows what I have to play. I
:22:39. > :22:42.wanted to be here, again w the trophy and I have to say Ewingy had
:22:43. > :22:50.a good journey. I think you are going to stay o Eugenie. You will be
:22:51. > :22:54.back soon, and definitely, I already played one final but you never know
:22:55. > :23:00.how it will happen. All my team helped me a lot during the years, to
:23:01. > :23:05.come back here, stay with the trophy, and, and, so...
:23:06. > :23:08.APPLAUSE I think everyone see what is it
:23:09. > :23:14.means to you, you have won the trophy before but this one is
:23:15. > :23:17.possibly even more special? I can say it is more special after three
:23:18. > :23:24.years to stand, to stay here where the trophy again, it is absolutely
:23:25. > :23:34.amazing, and definitely, I have to say once more, thank you so much, to
:23:35. > :23:37.my manager, my dad who has a birthday tomorrow.
:23:38. > :23:42.APPLAUSE If you continue to play like that
:23:43. > :23:44.there will be many more. Enjoy the trophy, enjoy the moment. Ladies and
:23:45. > :23:49.gentlemen, the trophy, enjoy the moment. Ladies and
:23:50. > :23:52.gentlemen, champion Petra Kvitova. JOHN INVERDALE: the obvious thing to
:23:53. > :24:01.say is, it wasn't a great contest but it was a great individual
:24:02. > :24:06.performance. I love big-hitting players. To see it played with that
:24:07. > :24:11.perfection, #i79 is not easy to do. She plays such high risk tennis and
:24:12. > :24:15.to be able to hit the lines time and again. I have never seen a final
:24:16. > :24:16.where the other player didn't play bad,
:24:17. > :24:22.where the other player didn't play but didn't stand a chance. We have a
:24:23. > :24:29.couple of rallies here, where are moments where Eugenie Bouchard was
:24:30. > :24:36.in the match, but Kvitova's shots were that much better. She moved so
:24:37. > :24:40.well. She seemed surprised how she stayed in the rallies. That is what
:24:41. > :24:45.she talked about in the press, because she is more fit than she
:24:46. > :24:54.was. This shot was such a small space to hit into there. How do you
:24:55. > :25:01.explain to people who don't understand, how is it possible for
:25:02. > :25:06.Kvitova to be so brilliant three years ago and then go into a never
:25:07. > :25:15.land and come back and play like this? It is tough in an individual
:25:16. > :25:18.sport and she is very shy and was thrust into the limelight,
:25:19. > :25:23.particularly in her home country and didn't like it and struggled under
:25:24. > :25:27.the pressure. Now this year something clicked. She seems more
:25:28. > :25:35.comfortable with it and she seems ready. I would be surprised if it
:25:36. > :25:44.takes her another three years to win another one. Somebody said Kvitova
:25:45. > :25:52.has won the final in an hour and a half less. She has been in complete
:25:53. > :25:59.control. Her upside is so high. The flungtation there is a --
:26:00. > :26:05.fluctuations that Petra plays with. When she is playing poorly, her game
:26:06. > :26:13.is so high risk and hits so hard and flat and just about a foot over the
:26:14. > :26:18.net. When it starts s to spray, she can can lose to anybody. It provides
:26:19. > :26:23.an opportunity for debate, one of which is bes of five in the Ladies'
:26:24. > :26:27.Singles final. What do you think. Could Kvitova have kept that level
:26:28. > :26:31.of performance up for another set. Would there not have been another
:26:32. > :26:38.dip and made it a better contest and for people who paid a lot of money,
:26:39. > :26:44.may have got better value for money. Normally you have that dip even in a
:26:45. > :26:52.two set match. It is so tough to play the biggest match of your life
:26:53. > :26:56.with something you're not used to. I would have liked to see Bouchard
:26:57. > :27:02.make adjustments earlier and maybe step back to get a better feel on
:27:03. > :27:06.her return game. But who knows? With Kvitova in the way she was playing,
:27:07. > :27:13.I don't know if three out of five would have saved her. It wasn't a
:27:14. > :27:18.football, it was a medicine ball. Normally the final is the highlight
:27:19. > :27:22.of the final Saturday. But it was almost building after this, after
:27:23. > :27:35.that rather there was this, the ladies doubles final and a big day
:27:36. > :27:43.for Vinci and Errani. That completed their career Grand Slam with their
:27:44. > :27:55.victory in straight sets. That was the aper teach to a -- aperitive to
:27:56. > :28:02.a amazing mens doubles final. Sock and Vasek Pospisil beating the Bryan
:28:03. > :28:06.brothers. The quality of that, the hand/eye co-ordination, the gentle
:28:07. > :28:11.touch and the parachutalty -- brutality at the same time was
:28:12. > :28:16.breath-taking. The first set tie-break, if you can access it on
:28:17. > :28:21.YouTube, it is worth watching just for that. The result was the Bryan
:28:22. > :28:28.brothers got themselves back to two sets all. Here we are at match point
:28:29. > :28:33.and how is that? For a way to win a Grand Slam title. It is the first
:28:34. > :28:38.Grand Slam they have ever played in together. To see two young guys that
:28:39. > :28:50.happy at the moment of victory, it is quite uplifting in the soul. It
:28:51. > :28:54.was she rifbg, Jack Sock won the mixed doubles at the US Open. We
:28:55. > :29:01.expected great things from Canada and it is Vasek Pospisil. There is
:29:02. > :29:07.the presentation and they can't stop grinning. I think, we are here think
:29:08. > :29:12.they're probably two guys to avoid tonight! They are going to be out
:29:13. > :29:16.having a great time somewhere in Wimbledon village or maybe into
:29:17. > :29:23.London town or wherever. So from the mens doubles to the mens singles
:29:24. > :29:24.tomorrow. That is the latest installment in tennis's heavy weight
:29:25. > :29:35.Championship of the world. There will be no surprises when
:29:36. > :29:41.Federer and Djokovic meet. Two of the sport's fantastic four are
:29:42. > :29:46.familiar foes. Very familiar. Roger Federer is just marginally more
:29:47. > :29:51.familiar with victory in their head-to-heads. More than a third of
:29:52. > :30:03.their encounters have come in majors. But just one Wimbledon face
:30:04. > :30:08.off in the semis. Novak's legend is still being constructed. But it is a
:30:09. > :30:12.fascinating prospect. We have never played in the finals here at
:30:13. > :30:18.Wimbledon, so it is a big deal for both of us. Any Wimbledon final is a
:30:19. > :30:22.big one. But both of us have one. It is not like it is a must-win. But it
:30:23. > :30:28.would be great for ethir one of us to get it done. Wimbledon being the
:30:29. > :30:32.most valuable tournament, it is the biggest one and playing another
:30:33. > :30:36.final in the event I always dreamed of winning, it is special each year.
:30:37. > :30:43.Although I have played in several occasions in the last couple of
:30:44. > :30:49.years. Federer was bad back played last year. He played it down. I'm
:30:50. > :30:56.happy things are going well. Last year was a difficult and different
:30:57. > :31:01.year. I have gone through problems in the past, but this lingered on. I
:31:02. > :31:06.wasn't sure how I was going to get out of it. I knew there was a way.
:31:07. > :31:15.It is a great feeling to be back in the finals. I see all the hard work
:31:16. > :31:18.has paid off. The only pay off Djokovic requires is another
:31:19. > :31:24.victory. I have the experience of playing in the big matches and I
:31:25. > :31:29.want to win that Grand Slam title. The last one was in 2013 and I feel
:31:30. > :31:35.losing three of the Grand Slam titles got to my mind and I need to
:31:36. > :31:45.overcome that. Our finalists have done it all before. It is now a case
:31:46. > :31:50.of simply getting it on. It is good to have nerves. It means your part
:31:51. > :31:58.offing in that is -- part of something that is important and you
:31:59. > :32:03.care about it and hopefully I can deal with the nerves. I feel I'm in
:32:04. > :32:09.good shape and there is a good chance to do something. We will see
:32:10. > :32:16.if Novak agrees or not! I am sure that he is going to be coming out
:32:17. > :32:19.and the great champion he is he will perform well and he may be the
:32:20. > :32:26.favourite, maybe I am because of the history, but I think it will be a
:32:27. > :32:33.nice match and we hopefully will both play great tennis. You're
:32:34. > :32:37.always guaranteed some high quality music here. Let's homest hope it is
:32:38. > :32:45.a -- let's hope it is a quality game. How much does Djokovic have to
:32:46. > :32:52.prove he is a winner again. Ealways has something to prove. Because he
:32:53. > :32:57.is playing in the era of Federer and Nadal. There is no worse feeling
:32:58. > :33:03.than being second at a Grand Slam and having to sit there and not get
:33:04. > :33:07.the trophy. He is going to want to change that here. From Federer's
:33:08. > :33:12.point of view, he has been written off so many times. So many times.
:33:13. > :33:17.And he is not the kind of person to stick two fingers up to people. But
:33:18. > :33:20.you almost feel that he is, that he is saying, hey, you thought you knew
:33:21. > :33:27.about these things, I'm still here. I think there maybe a bit of that.
:33:28. > :33:32.But I think he is happy for himself and to be healthy and fit and he is
:33:33. > :33:37.feeling confident on court. He has won a couple of titles this year and
:33:38. > :33:46.he has come through in straight sets and only been broken serve one day.
:33:47. > :33:55.83% first serves. He has a lot in the energy bank and he is feeling
:33:56. > :34:01.good and playing spectacular tennis. Stefan Edburg is in his corner. Is
:34:02. > :34:07.the Edburg/Becker a fascinating subplot. Or is it just us that are
:34:08. > :34:11.making it interesting. The players are the players and the ones that
:34:12. > :34:16.will decide it. But it is a great twist. It is fun to see them. They
:34:17. > :34:22.played Grand Slams with each other. What do you think of the impact of
:34:23. > :34:29.Edburg on Roger. You can't deny it. For Roger there is very few people
:34:30. > :34:37.he looks up to and Edburg is one. What a great demeanor Stefan has and
:34:38. > :34:42.he will listen to him and to come in more opt grass. The serve is work
:34:43. > :34:46.great. Just to have that calm voice in your head, although Roger is
:34:47. > :34:51.possibly one of the greatest ever. It has helped. On the other hand,
:34:52. > :34:57.how important is it for the, well for Boris in a way, that Novak wins,
:34:58. > :35:05.because he has been on, within touching distance, but has not got a
:35:06. > :35:10.troef which with -- trophy with him. That is why he hired him. I was
:35:11. > :35:15.proud of Novak, because he talked about that, how it has been a few
:35:16. > :35:23.points in the Grand Slams, he said maybe I should have had a few more
:35:24. > :35:28.titles. He knews there was one element and that is why he brought
:35:29. > :35:33.Boris in, to get in the head of a champion. Djokovic has talked about
:35:34. > :35:39.the last two matches, where he was ahead, let the match slip and let
:35:40. > :35:45.Cilic get in and Dimitrov and those are the matches he can't have those
:35:46. > :35:50.lapses. Federer this a much older, but he has played five hours left. I
:35:51. > :35:55.is that a factor?. Yes it has been an ideal road to the final for
:35:56. > :35:59.Federer. Because it gets harder to recover the older you get and he has
:36:00. > :36:05.lost one set. Even in the semi final he breezed through that in three
:36:06. > :36:13.easy sets. It might not be as good a chance for Roger again. And he has
:36:14. > :36:17.17 Grand Slam titles. 18 puts him further from Nadal. I think he
:36:18. > :36:23.realises this is a great noement for him. -- moment for him. He will be
