:00:40. > :00:46.Good evening. Just because we can, we're going to start in an utterly
:00:47. > :00:54.perverse way tonight with a match that took place on court eight with
:00:55. > :00:59.the world number 136, Denis Kudla of the USA against Marsel Ilhan from
:01:00. > :01:04.Turkey. We will show you the next 40 seconds of this because it embodies
:01:05. > :01:08.all of what Wimbledon is about. Packed crowds, watch twoing players,
:01:09. > :01:12.who with the best will in the world rkts they've never heard of and
:01:13. > :01:32.marvelling at a brilliant rally of tennis.
:01:33. > :01:38.He wins it in the end! Just fantastic. That really was actually
:01:39. > :01:43.what we had all day, wherever you looked, there were fantastic tennis
:01:44. > :01:47.tennis being played. Pat Cash and Tracy Austin are re-united as the
:01:48. > :01:50.ultimate mixed doubles partnership. They will reflect what's been an
:01:51. > :01:55.interesting day today. The first match features a man who has only
:01:56. > :02:00.won one match here since he got to the final three years ago. That is
:02:01. > :02:05.Rafael Nadal. Martin Klizan was cast either as his next grassy nemesis or
:02:06. > :02:11.as his first victim on his way to another great run here at the
:02:12. > :02:13.championships. Let's gin this match -- join this match at 4-4 in the
:02:14. > :02:41.first set. Nadal is serving. PETER FLEMING: The first slip for
:02:42. > :02:42.Klizan today. When you go wide of the tram lines, it's still very
:02:43. > :03:28.green. ANDREW CASTLE: It's always the move
:03:29. > :03:30.recovering back to the middle of the court. It's that push.
:03:31. > :04:08.That's scary. The second serve was short and slow
:04:09. > :04:59.at 81mph. Then duly punished. The clarity of the gap plan from
:05:00. > :05:06.Klizan is -- of the game plan from Klizan is impressive.
:05:07. > :05:29.Intelligent man, he speaks six languages.
:05:30. > :05:38.Rafael Nadal will want that volley back that. Was a terrible one.
:05:39. > :05:44.Klizan is impressing with how he's getting around the court.
:05:45. > :07:14.Oh, dear, oh, dear. This is a huge surprise.
:07:15. > :07:18.You were right, Andrew, certainly going to put as much pressure on
:07:19. > :08:05.Klizan as possible in this situation.
:08:06. > :08:08.Klizan mis-hit a couple of back hands. But luckily they've both
:08:09. > :08:51.landed in the court. That was a bold second serve! He's
:08:52. > :09:13.got such a clear idea of what he wants to do.
:09:14. > :09:24.Take that! Martin Klizan, number 51 in the world, 50 places between him
:09:25. > :09:31.and the guy that he's playing, but he's taken the first set 6-4.
:09:32. > :09:38.STUDIO: Well how about that, were we on the cusp of a big upset,
:09:39. > :09:43.reminiscent of that defeat against Rosol two years ago. It's one set
:09:44. > :09:53.apiece, and we are at the start of the third.
:09:54. > :10:03.He's spent more time on the floor than on his feet.
:10:04. > :10:11.JOHN MCENROE: He started complaining early in the second set. His
:10:12. > :10:18.concentration was thrown a bit then. He looks like he's down even though
:10:19. > :10:19.the score is tied. He's done a lot of good things, we should focus on
:10:20. > :12:30.that. Klizan can go bigger from more
:12:31. > :12:54.difficult parts of the court. No, only half of those have
:12:55. > :12:58.succeeded. Those two have been disastrous. He succeeded with the
:12:59. > :13:43.disguise, but forget to execute it. Nadal could taste that. He worked so
:13:44. > :14:21.hard to put himself in a position to break.
:14:22. > :14:38.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Oh, my!
:14:39. > :15:02.He was down and then he pirouetted. He's taking his time here.
:15:03. > :15:09.STUDIO: In almost every match there's a pivotal point or game,
:15:10. > :15:13.where you think that's going tocome of this and actually, maybe it was
:15:14. > :15:19.that point, that extraordinary point in the third game, sorry, the first
:15:20. > :15:23.game of the third set when Nadal hit that staggering crosscourt winner
:15:24. > :15:28.that took him into the ascendency. He was at match point and there he
:15:29. > :15:35.is into the second round. He will play Lukas Rosol, the man who beat
:15:36. > :15:40.him two years ago. This is what Rafa made of his return to Centre Court.
:15:41. > :15:44.How do you view your next opponent? He's a tough one. He's a very
:15:45. > :15:51.aggressive player. He beat me. He will be confident to play again me
:15:52. > :15:54.here in the second round. Is that match relevant from two years ago or
:15:55. > :16:02.have you forgotten that already? No, I didn't. I lost against him. When
:16:03. > :16:07.you lost against somebody it's because they played better than you
:16:08. > :16:15.and that's the real thing. He beat me. He will be confident. I will try
:16:16. > :16:16.to not repeat the same story. That victory today for Rafael Nadal took
:16:17. > :16:40.him into a very elite club: That's a pretty elite gang of
:16:41. > :16:44.players. We will talk about Nadal and also Federer and Wawrinka in a
:16:45. > :16:53.second. Let's update you on matches still taking place:
:16:54. > :17:05.Tara Moore putting up a considerable fight.
:17:06. > :17:16.It's on serve in the second set. Simona Halep of Romania, very much
:17:17. > :17:21.the player of the moment on the women's tour, beaten in France by
:17:22. > :17:28.Maria Sharapova, through against Pereira of Brazil. Let's talk about
:17:29. > :17:34.Nadal. He's the new member of the 700 club. A bit shaky to start, but
:17:35. > :17:38.then in the end, fine. He takes a while to get his depth more than
:17:39. > :17:42.anything. What I noticed on that Centre Court there compared to the
:17:43. > :17:46.other players that play on it was how high he hits the ball over the
:17:47. > :17:51.net and the bounce he gets. On clay, that's very, very effective. On a
:17:52. > :17:55.soft, grass court, the first couple of matches, sure he's not 100% fit
:17:56. > :18:01.the last couple of years, those balls were just sit thering. Klizan
:18:02. > :18:03.is a very good player. He went for everything. He had a lot of
:18:04. > :18:10.opportunities. Those balls were in the middle of the court. For a set
:18:11. > :18:15.or, so I thought, oh, my goodness, Rafa better fire up here. This is
:18:16. > :18:20.happening for the third time in as many years, the guys are stepping up
:18:21. > :18:24.with the short ball and shuming it down his throat. He got really fired
:18:25. > :18:29.up. He had to get really fired up and once he got going, you saw those
:18:30. > :18:34.shots he was running backwards and forwards. Fantastic. He got pumped
:18:35. > :18:39.up enough to just press. His tactics were poor in the first set. He kept
:18:40. > :18:45.hitting into the guy's back hands, that's what we do in club tennis.
:18:46. > :18:48.It's what Rafa had to do. It still took a set-and-a-half to work People
:18:49. > :18:52.talk out. About playing against Rafa in particular, if this was best of
:18:53. > :18:58.three, he'd have a chance. But best of five takes it to a totally
:18:59. > :19:02.different game because Nadal has this extraordinary ability that even
:19:03. > :19:05.when he's down, he finds reserves from elsewhere. Particularly he
:19:06. > :19:09.needed that today. He spoke about the fact that he's only won a couple
:19:10. > :19:12.of matches in the last three years. He said he'd played few matches on
:19:13. > :19:17.grass and it's a completely different surface. It's so much more
:19:18. > :19:20.slippery, the first two or three days. It takes him a while to feel
:19:21. > :19:25.comfortable with his movement, which is so important for him. He defends
:19:26. > :19:30.so much. Also, it took him ape while to get the ridge -- a while to get
:19:31. > :19:33.the rhythm. The trajectory of his shots, he needs to hit through the
:19:34. > :19:37.ball more. But he was trying to find his confidence. That first set he
:19:38. > :19:41.lost. He was nervous. As he said, Klizan was playing very well. A lot
:19:42. > :19:46.of players have seen that's what it takes to beat Rafa, go out of their
:19:47. > :19:50.comfort zone, go outside the box and try to go after their shots. From
:19:51. > :19:56.Rafa to Roger. What due make of Federer? -- did you make of Federer?
:19:57. > :20:00.You commentated on this game? His opponent had never won a match in a
:20:01. > :20:04.Grand Slam event. He had lost 13 times in a row, a total clay
:20:05. > :20:09.courter. He was never going to have the game, enough weapons, enough
:20:10. > :20:13.skill to bother Roger-Vasselin. There he is, looking very mournful,
:20:14. > :20:19.as indeed he might. He became very entertaining in the third set
:20:20. > :20:24.because down 3-0, 6-1, 6-1 and down p-0 he -- 3-0 he was able to win a
:20:25. > :20:27.game. He put his hands up, as Italians do, and got the crowd
:20:28. > :20:32.engaged. It was more interesting at the end of the third set. This was
:20:33. > :20:39.vintage Roger. He was serving and volleying more. He talked about the
:20:40. > :20:44.fact that not because Edberg did it, but he's reminded him it's OK to do.
:20:45. > :20:50.It this was a spectacular shot. Look hat that athleticism. -- at that
:20:51. > :20:55.athleticism. He has an option, so beautiful to have that in your
:20:56. > :20:59.repertoire. You can't do it all the time. But I love to see Roger serve
:21:00. > :21:04.and We talk volley. About the "Big Four", we have for the last two,
:21:05. > :21:06.three years. Wawrinka has snuck in to-to-make it the "Big
:21:07. > :21:11.Four"-and-a-half or maybe the big five, he came through safely enough
:21:12. > :21:16.today. What do you make of him? He's amazingly talented. Everybody was
:21:17. > :21:22.happy to see him win the Australian Open, other than Rafa fans. Stan is
:21:23. > :21:28.such a talented player, such a nice guy. He's got all the shots. He
:21:29. > :21:36.hasn't really probably done as well as he'd like to here on grass. He
:21:37. > :21:40.has a big swing. It's a fluid follow through on the backhand. That's his
:21:41. > :21:45.famous shot. He can do everything. So, I think it's about time that
:21:46. > :21:48.he's going to break through. Winning the Australian Open has given him a
:21:49. > :21:52.lot of confidence. He did well against Djokovic. I think he will
:21:53. > :21:56.break through eventually. He didn't do well at the French Open. That
:21:57. > :22:01.would be disappointing after winning Monte Carlo. He will look to do well
:22:02. > :22:05.here. He has a massive serve. He's so aggressive. It hurts him because
:22:06. > :22:08.it takes so long on that wind up on the backhand side. Have you to be
:22:09. > :22:12.very flexible with your hands and flexible with your mind on grass.
:22:13. > :22:15.You get so many bad bounces. We know that Stan hasn't had the best
:22:16. > :22:21.results on grass because I think he likes a bit more time. I'm not sure
:22:22. > :22:27.the groundsmen here would like to you say that. "Bad bounces? "
:22:28. > :22:31.They're natural surfaces, they're not completely even. Our match in a
:22:32. > :22:35.minute features Jo-Wilfred Tsonga, who only needed one game to beat
:22:36. > :22:41.Jurgen Melzer to win a match held over from last night.
:22:42. > :22:46.COMMENTATOR: Jo-Wilfred Tsonga, great entertainer, great record
:22:47. > :23:49.here. It was two-and-a-half minutes they
:23:50. > :23:53.were on court for. Back in the locker room and then Tsonga safely
:23:54. > :23:58.through to the next round. Today's British action. Three players were
:23:59. > :24:01.playing today. Heather Watson was playing Ajla Tomljanovic of Croatia,
:24:02. > :24:03.a player ranked several place as buff her in the world order. We
:24:04. > :24:17.start at the start. She's going to get a cheer for every
:24:18. > :25:08.point if this gets close, I think the crowd could be a big factor.
:25:09. > :25:15.It's a nice settler, that sort of point. It is nice, because at the
:25:16. > :25:17.beginning of a match like this, when you're nervous, it's difficult to
:25:18. > :25:43.get your feel on the ball. To play a nice shot like that will feel great.
:25:44. > :25:51.You've been out there with all the expectations, Jo, on your shoulders,
:25:52. > :25:56.how anotherous will Watson be at the moment? Pretty nervous. She will
:25:57. > :25:58.want to run it off. She's so good at her defence. She will run her nerves
:25:59. > :27:02.out. That just might be the problem is
:27:03. > :27:13.the second serve of Watson. It might get a pummelling today.
:27:14. > :27:22.Nicely snuffed out by Watson. Very good all-court player of
:27:23. > :27:25.course, Heather. She won't mind coming into the net.
:27:26. > :28:47.She likes being in those awkward situations.
:28:48. > :28:54.I wasn't sure that Tomljanovic thought that was going in. Enough
:28:55. > :28:56.spin on it to bring it down. It's a big strike. She loves to go
:28:57. > :29:43.after it. Watson measures adoptable. --
:29:44. > :30:27.measures it up. Took her time very well. Sometimes
:30:28. > :31:06.you can rush to put a shot away. That was in. Maybe a bit of a
:31:07. > :31:10.misjudgement from Heather Watson because it was coming swap -- quite
:31:11. > :31:34.slowly. Although it did hit the line.
:31:35. > :31:38.There are still a few empty seats. I do not think that the last very
:31:39. > :32:25.long. She is a very clever player. She
:32:26. > :32:28.sees the opportunities. She is capable of playing a range of shots
:32:29. > :32:31.and just slides the racket underneath. She has been rewarded
:32:32. > :32:51.with a couple of break points. That home run from the Croatian
:32:52. > :32:58.player produces a great start for Heather Watson. STUDIO: row that was
:32:59. > :33:03.a great start for Heather Watson and she went on to take the first set.
:33:04. > :33:13.She looked very composed and very controlled. She played a variety of
:33:14. > :33:15.shops. -- a variety of shots. Here we are in the second set. Let's join
:33:16. > :33:34.the action. The Croatian player is just rushing
:33:35. > :33:51.it at the moment and I think she is totally confused about what to do.
:33:52. > :34:04.That is absolutely excellent from Heather Watson. She is just
:34:05. > :34:04.controlling this beautifully. She moves confidently across. She
:34:05. > :34:33.strikes through that. The best player in Croatia is just
:34:34. > :34:49.lashing out at the moment. Three chances for a double break.
:34:50. > :34:57.She set of just a little late for that but she was more than willing
:34:58. > :34:59.to make the sprint. I love the way she runs and smiles. I am not sure
:35:00. > :35:22.how she does that! A double break for Heather Watson.
:35:23. > :35:26.STUDIO: not long after that, here we are at match point. Heather Watson
:35:27. > :35:33.safely through into the second round. She got to the third round a
:35:34. > :35:38.couple of years ago and she is playing very well at the moment.
:35:39. > :35:44.What do you make of her? I thought that was very impressive stop her
:35:45. > :35:50.opponent is very talented. A lot of people are talking about her and she
:35:51. > :35:59.shows a lot of promise. Heather Watson played very aggressively. The
:36:00. > :36:05.Croatian is a class act. She has a big game. We saw her in the
:36:06. > :36:13.Australian Open. She played very well. But she got nervous. She is 21
:36:14. > :36:21.years old and she has been out injured. But when she gets more
:36:22. > :36:28.experience and learns to count down, she will be great. Three other
:36:29. > :36:36.British players playing today. Samantha Lewthwaite was one of them.
:36:37. > :36:44.-- Sam Murray. She played Maria Sharapova. She was on a hiding to
:36:45. > :36:51.nothing. But how did she do? Maria Sharapova played a brilliant game.
:36:52. > :36:57.It is always an adjustment, going from a clay court onto a grass
:36:58. > :37:04.court. It is physically tap. -- physically very hard. Maria
:37:05. > :37:16.Sharapova talked about how she took a few days off. For Sam Murray, she
:37:17. > :37:22.said she had only been on Court Number One once in her life, but she
:37:23. > :37:30.held her own. Maria Sharapova is a serious contender. One British man
:37:31. > :37:36.playing today was Dan Smethurst. He had an unenviable task. It was his
:37:37. > :37:45.first ever match in the main draw and he drew against John Isner. He
:37:46. > :37:51.is a huge man. But Dan did all right. He lost in straight sets but
:37:52. > :37:56.he got a few games. When you face that situation, you just have to
:37:57. > :38:05.seize the moment. Playing John Isner, I mean, nobody wants to play
:38:06. > :38:10.him. We know how good he can be, he can be very tough to break against.
:38:11. > :38:20.That is huge experience for the British man. Every return, he is
:38:21. > :38:28.hitting it from up here. His coach probably has to stand on a box and
:38:29. > :38:37.nature just to talk to him. -- a chair. One other reddish player is
:38:38. > :38:57.still on Court One that is Tarim. -- are for. -- Tara Moore. One big name
:38:58. > :39:05.that went out today was Jelena Jankovic. Several seeds have lost
:39:06. > :39:15.today. This was the most significant. She did not have a very
:39:16. > :39:23.successful time in Eastbourne last week. Her bad luck is continuing
:39:24. > :39:31.here. Let's see what else happened in the women's draw today.
:39:32. > :39:36.Bike mag it was an honour not even retirement could deny her and Marion
:39:37. > :39:43.Bartoli was in tears before it started. Emotion was heightened as
:39:44. > :40:03.she remembered Elaine about our chat. -- Elaine about patch up.
:40:04. > :40:13.Sabine Lisicki was in court as well. Mum and dad found those shots and
:40:14. > :40:29.using. -- amusing. There was a lot of sharing and caring amongst the
:40:30. > :40:33.celebrities today. Her fellow German was a recent French Open
:40:34. > :40:41.semifinalist. She dismissed her Polish opponent. The questions were
:40:42. > :40:49.more red carpet and green grass. Who designed your clothes today?
:40:50. > :40:52.Caroline Wozniacki had on the Nish business after the rain delay last
:40:53. > :40:57.night and that can always be frustrating. But the show is delayed
:40:58. > :41:04.the inevitable. She triumphed against her Israeli opponent.
:41:05. > :41:14.Questions about her love life Institute. It is very hard to sweep
:41:15. > :41:24.me off my beat. I am fine. Other players had to finish what he
:41:25. > :41:46.started. 14 seed was booted out by Caroline Garcia. One happy lady to
:41:47. > :41:50.another. This is Ana Ivanovic. This was in the last few minutes. She has
:41:51. > :41:59.triumphed in straight sets. A good result for her. Usually need
:42:00. > :42:22.Bouchard is very much the talk of the town. -- usually me.
:42:23. > :43:09.She is nothing if not determined. That is a quality her opponent must
:43:10. > :43:39.match. That was not in bad approach. -- a
:43:40. > :43:44.bad approach. But the angle was cut off. Three break points to square
:43:45. > :44:32.the match. That was excellent adjustment. She
:44:33. > :44:53.gave herself plenty of room and space to play this forehand shot.
:44:54. > :47:29.STUDIO: coming to a crunch point in their match. Let's rejoin it.
:47:30. > :47:47.That was superb. That was so deep. Another excellent shot and that was
:47:48. > :47:48.superbly disguised. She just change the angle at the last possible
:47:49. > :49:01.moment. -- changed the angle. That is arguably the best forehand
:49:02. > :49:31.she has hit in this set. It has brought her a set point.
:49:32. > :49:36.She has been successful in challenging the call twice already.
:49:37. > :49:55.She needs to be successful on this occasion. And she is not. STUDIO:
:49:56. > :49:59.the Canadian continued in pretty much the same way. Here we are at
:50:00. > :50:07.match point. That was a big shop. She is able player. -- Abe the
:50:08. > :50:12.player. That section of the draw is very interesting. Serena Williams
:50:13. > :50:22.will have her eye on that. She could not quite match what Maria Sharapova
:50:23. > :50:34.did. But she is safely through into the second round. So, what do you
:50:35. > :50:39.make of usually need Bouchard. She is the future of women's tennis. She
:50:40. > :50:46.is athletic and I love how closely she stands to the baseline. Her
:50:47. > :50:54.perfectionism reminds me of Maria Sharapova. She has everything
:50:55. > :51:00.organised. She is so self-assured. Even the way she speaks in press
:51:01. > :51:06.conferences is amazing. You have to remind yourself how old she is. You
:51:07. > :51:10.get the feeling that she sets her goals and she is very systematic
:51:11. > :51:18.about how she achieves them. I think that is correct. It is an amazing
:51:19. > :51:22.drop. She will have to play Serena Williams in the fourth round if all
:51:23. > :51:35.goes according to plan. -- an amazing draw. It is very exciting.
:51:36. > :51:42.This Canadian girl is certainly one for the future. She is a modern
:51:43. > :51:48.player, powerful and strong. She has a great coach. He is very
:51:49. > :51:59.experienced. On a Mac a great tennis mind. -- a great tennis mind. You
:52:00. > :52:05.never know what is going to happen and we have just given her the kiss
:52:06. > :52:17.of death! Social media is going mad about your lasses! I did not want to
:52:18. > :52:27.put them on. You look very handsome. We are all getting older! We can go
:52:28. > :52:36.across to Court Number Two now. The British woman tyrant mirror is
:52:37. > :52:54.playing. They have just gone off and it is a case of bad light. They will
:52:55. > :53:01.be back tomorrow. -- Tara Moore. It is great play from the British girl.
:53:02. > :53:15.Let's take a look at the men's draw today. The earth shaker supreme
:53:16. > :53:29.stunned Rafael Nadal a number of years ago. But it was a different
:53:30. > :53:43.day-to-day. Ivo Karlovic she should these grounds by beating Lleyton
:53:44. > :53:53.Hewitt. -- shook these grounds. Unseeded Lleyton Hewitt beat his
:53:54. > :54:01.Polish opponent today. Can he shake Wimbledon foundations? This much a
:54:02. > :54:09.number of years ago between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut was epic.
:54:10. > :54:20.Ninth seed John Isner was the looming giant today. He was against
:54:21. > :54:27.a British opponent. Nicolas Mahut did not shake the earth today. He
:54:28. > :54:31.was beaten by his Spanish opponent. It might not have shook the world if
:54:32. > :54:34.Richard Gasquet had lost to his Australian opponent to date but the
:54:35. > :54:53.French people would have been very upset. The ground did not move for
:54:54. > :55:00.Britain today either. Milos Raonic is through. The Luciano Lopez also
:55:01. > :55:11.makes his way through to the second round. -- Feliciano Lopez. Japan
:55:12. > :55:18.celebrates as one of its players goes through. Australian tennis on
:55:19. > :55:27.the way back? We have some great young talent. Nick curiosity is the
:55:28. > :55:43.highest ranked teenager in the world. We are excited about him.
:55:44. > :55:58.Duckworth qualified. A former Wimbledon junior champion is through
:55:59. > :56:06.as well. It is good news. And Lleyton Hewitt. Of course, Lleyton
:56:07. > :56:13.Hewitt. I think he still has another couple of big wins in him. Perhaps
:56:14. > :56:20.this is his last Wimbledon. He is still extremely competitive and on
:56:21. > :56:26.this court, he cannot know players away any more. But what a
:56:27. > :56:33.competitor. He and Rafael Nadal are the greatest competitors. He never
:56:34. > :56:42.gives up. How much metal does he have in his body? His the toll is
:56:43. > :56:57.now really small. They had to fuse it and... His big toe. He was so
:56:58. > :57:03.pumped up today and he had a huge number of supporters. He is a
:57:04. > :57:14.legend. This is what is coming up tomorrow. For all you people out
:57:15. > :57:22.there who thought that shot of the sunset was a fake last night, I can
:57:23. > :57:28.promise you it was real. A wonderful line-up of play tomorrow. This is
:57:29. > :57:56.what is happening on Court Number One. Andy Murray is in action.
:57:57. > :58:12.Thank you very much for joining me. I think we are all in favour of the
:58:13. > :58:17.glasses. Before we go, great Britain has 3.5 players still in the draw.
:58:18. > :58:20.Costa Rica has never had a single player ever in the second round of a
:58:21. > :58:28.grand slam tournament. So there!
