:00:07. > :00:13.as far as our highlights show is concerned, there is barely room to

:00:14. > :00:19.swing a cat between now and 9pm. A very eventful fourth day of these

:00:20. > :00:24.championships. We will start with an epic game, the first match on Centre

:00:25. > :00:30.Court between Rafa Nadal and Lukas Rosol. This was a repeat of the

:00:31. > :00:32.match two years ago when Nadal went crashing out of the Championships.

:00:33. > :00:36.Lightning could not strike twice could it? Here we are, 4-4 in the

:00:37. > :01:09.first. It was called in, Lukas Rosol is

:01:10. > :02:04.challenging. UMPIRE: Lukas Rosol have two

:02:05. > :02:50.challenges remaining. JOHN McENROE: we have -- we have

:02:51. > :02:56.seen that type of serve and how far he goes to cut him off. It looks

:02:57. > :03:19.like he slices it short. Just missed it.

:03:20. > :03:48.Here is Rosol again with two break points.

:03:49. > :04:02.APPLAUSE That is as big a forehand as he has

:04:03. > :04:05.hit. The fact he could find that and attack that is amazing, especially

:04:06. > :04:29.when you are down double break point.

:04:30. > :04:53.I don't know what Rosol was thinking there, to move to the centre, of

:04:54. > :04:55.course he was going wide, he should have stepped in and just ripped it

:04:56. > :05:26.and gone for it. That is his style. That return has earned him a third

:05:27. > :05:31.chance. Where his easy-going to stand now? -- where it is he going

:05:32. > :05:51.to stand? APPLAUSE

:05:52. > :05:57.And he has got the break. Could lightning possibly strike twice in

:05:58. > :06:07.the same place? JOHN INVERDALE: what is going on here, the answer, this

:06:08. > :06:11.is Rosol serving at set point. Suddenly, here we are in the second

:06:12. > :06:17.set and after a lot of big serving and a lot of big hitting, we find

:06:18. > :06:23.ourselves in a tie-break and what is going on here? Rosol is leading 5-3,

:06:24. > :06:28.two points from a two sets to love lead.

:06:29. > :06:35.SIMON REED: Now he has got the ammunition and these two service

:06:36. > :07:29.could do the trick. -- two serves. That was an incredible shot by

:07:30. > :07:31.Nadal. He reached for it, you really had to put a little extra on it, it

:07:32. > :07:43.was beautiful. 125 mph. He has set point for 82-mac

:07:44. > :08:21.set lead. -- a two set lead. APPLAUSE

:08:22. > :08:42.It was a champion shot. It just shows you how important and

:08:43. > :08:50.effective that left serve can be for him. Rosol did not hit it cleanly

:08:51. > :09:01.and that opened the court up. Still, his coach has to be proud that he

:09:02. > :09:06.could come up with the goods then. He was a break down earlier in this

:09:07. > :09:28.set and he has battled, big time, to try to level this.

:09:29. > :10:12.Now it is set point for the Spaniard.

:10:13. > :10:30.After all he has achieved, Toni is on his feet. JOHN INVERDALE: and

:10:31. > :10:34.that was the game. I suspect Lukas Rosol will think about that for an

:10:35. > :10:46.awful long time tonight. Two sets later, Nadal had one back -- Nadal

:10:47. > :10:49.had won. His non-exit, if you like, almost the story of the day, but

:10:50. > :10:58.what else happened on this fourth day of the Championships? But as we

:10:59. > :11:05.know, it is not what you know, but what you wear it that counts. In

:11:06. > :11:11.this curiouser world we live in, much hinges on whether you have got

:11:12. > :11:16.the look. A dash of red on a bandanna so white, Kei Nishikori has

:11:17. > :11:21.the look. Others can only dream of appearing so-called. The snappers

:11:22. > :11:24.are always out in force when he performs. Not wanting to miss a

:11:25. > :11:33.single shot of a young man with tennis style that was to dazzling

:11:34. > :11:44.today. The 10th seed wafting into the next round. Ana Ivanovic was

:11:45. > :11:48.French Open champion. Heading to Wimbledon, the 11th seed won the

:11:49. > :11:57.grasscourt title in Birmingham and today, avenged a defeat from 2008

:11:58. > :12:10.against Jie Zheng. She will face Sabine Lisicki. Today's opponent

:12:11. > :12:17.showed far from model behaviour as a ball girl was clobbered. Lisicki

:12:18. > :12:24.added another Wimbledon victory to her collection. Baseball cap in

:12:25. > :12:29.reverse, that is the old Lleyton Hewitt look still sported by Lukasz

:12:30. > :12:39.Kubot. Quarterfinalist here last year. He defeated his Serbian

:12:40. > :12:50.opponent. This is from the Ministry of silly walks! One sock has

:12:51. > :12:55.particular significance. Stay tuned. JOHN INVERDALE: we look forward to

:12:56. > :13:10.that! Serena Williams had an interesting cakewalk today.

:13:11. > :13:23.Do you like the outfit? It is interesting! POP MUSIC

:13:24. > :13:30.Serena has got to match face on, she is so focused in getting this job

:13:31. > :13:33.done. She has had one expression on her face the whole match, you would

:13:34. > :13:59.not know whether she won the point all of the point!

:14:00. > :14:15.that will do it. Another comprehensive victory for the five

:14:16. > :14:19.times former champion. Serena Williams safely through and Maria

:14:20. > :14:25.Sharapova without too much bother against her Swiss opponent. That

:14:26. > :14:30.could be a titanic duel in a few days time. There was one segment of

:14:31. > :14:36.Wimbledon that had a French flavour to it. Big names wherever you looked

:14:37. > :14:47.down the bottom end of the complex here, courts two and 12. Gael

:14:48. > :14:52.Monfils was playing Vesely. Not just the way Monfils conducted himself on

:14:53. > :14:56.the court, but the way Vesely hit the cover off the court all the

:14:57. > :15:07.time. Eventually, he went through in five sets. Just over the road from

:15:08. > :15:14.him, Richard Gasquet was playing Nick Kyrgios of Australia. Gasquet

:15:15. > :15:18.was two sets to love up in this match. The Australian fought back to

:15:19. > :15:32.two sets all. Eight games all in the decider.

:15:33. > :15:36.Took a bit of the pace off the forehand and whipped it across

:15:37. > :15:56.court. Gasquet showing a few signs of

:15:57. > :16:30.frailty here. It is a good shot. It is on the

:16:31. > :16:52.line! What an amazing point. First the

:16:53. > :16:56.backhand slice that pulled Gasquet so far out of court and then the

:16:57. > :17:12.whipped forehand that landed on the baseline.

:17:13. > :17:19.Good work. Kyrgios will serve for it.

:17:20. > :17:24.Kyrgios has the looks and the talent to be a big star in this game. He

:17:25. > :17:36.was absolutely overwhelmed at the end. Remember the name.

:17:37. > :17:46.The third Frenchman bailed them out, this is Tsonga against Querrey. This

:17:47. > :17:51.is Tsonga winning it eventually by 14 games to 12. Let's go back to

:17:52. > :17:58.that Kyrgios match because the benefit he and Lleyton Hewitt had,

:17:59. > :18:05.and all of the Australians, is this gaggle of supporters who are called

:18:06. > :18:12.the Fanatics. They follow them wherever they go and make a lot of

:18:13. > :18:17.noise! Our own Aussie, Pat Cash went to meet them.

:18:18. > :18:27.We know that nobody can sing and support the Australians like these

:18:28. > :18:33.guys, the fanatics. You seem to be all over the world. How do you get

:18:34. > :18:40.the tickets? You steal them don't you, like true Australian convicts!

:18:41. > :18:52.Mick Kyrgios, young Aussie guy, do you think he has got it? -- Mick

:18:53. > :18:56.He is definitely the future of Australian tennis. He is an absolute

:18:57. > :19:12.star. Listen to the crowd on Court Number

:19:13. > :19:29.Two, pointing to the Fanatics. Have you got a song? SINGING

:19:30. > :19:40.You have got plenty about Lleyton Hewitt, give us one. SINGING

:19:41. > :19:58.Lleyton Hewitt! And they are sober! LAUGHTER

:19:59. > :20:03.STUDIO: Kyrgios is only the third person in grand slam history, all of

:20:04. > :20:09.them, to have nine match points against him and to come back and

:20:10. > :20:11.win. No mean feat. Let's go back to the second part of our roundup, our

:20:12. > :20:21.fashion review. Remember these? Wimbledon is one of

:20:22. > :20:27.the few places white socks are still in. Stan Wawrinka is hardly a

:20:28. > :20:35.dedicated follower of fashion, dressed down Thursdays is more his

:20:36. > :20:38.thing. He beat Lu today to reach Wimbledon's third round for the

:20:39. > :20:43.first time in five years. White has always been the new black at

:20:44. > :20:53.Wimbledon and its suits Germany's Andrea Petkovic. Falling lead to

:20:54. > :21:04.strapping but winning was not to be denied her against Romania's

:21:05. > :21:07.Irina-Camelia Begu. The 15th seed has fallen out of fashion but this

:21:08. > :21:20.Suarez was beaten, not banished for biting. Suarez Navarro knocked out

:21:21. > :21:26.by Dias. It is size extra large for American's John Isner. The legendary

:21:27. > :21:31.Marathon man made the third round for the first time in six attempts.

:21:32. > :21:35.Almost time to put a sock in it but first news that almost making his

:21:36. > :21:45.debut in round three is the Canadian eighth seed, Milos Raonic. He had a

:21:46. > :21:51.straight sets victory against Jack Sock, our mystery man! STUDIO: Tim

:21:52. > :21:59.Henman was commentating on Roger Federer. Quite shaky, the way Rafa

:22:00. > :22:13.Nadal. Him out of that hole. We saw that he was down a point in

:22:14. > :22:18.the second set tie-break. Nadal has this amazing competitive spirit, he

:22:19. > :22:24.did not play his best today but he was able to dig himself out of a

:22:25. > :22:30.hole. Which is obviously what champions do. I am sure what Roger

:22:31. > :22:33.Federer said in his post interview will resonate in certain quarters

:22:34. > :22:42.because people will read into what he said, what ever they choose to.

:22:43. > :22:48.When people watch you play, they say, Roger looks in a hurry, do you

:22:49. > :22:53.guys think like that? Not really, I don't take that much time.

:22:54. > :22:56.Especially if points go a couple of points rallies. I don't see any

:22:57. > :23:01.point in taking more than ten seconds between points. I think it

:23:02. > :23:05.is important for spectators in the stadium and also, especially on TV,

:23:06. > :23:10.that we keep it moving and I tried to do that without rushing my

:23:11. > :23:15.opponent, without not being focused, so I am happy I am able to play that

:23:16. > :23:23.way, but I understand not everybody can play that way, today was not

:23:24. > :23:27.physical in anyway so I am happy. That was his immediate thoughts

:23:28. > :23:33.after he had won his match against Gilles Muller of Luxembourg. In

:23:34. > :23:37.grand slam 's these days, you are only supposed to have 20 seconds

:23:38. > :23:43.between points and Rafa Nadal was continually at 25. Was that a slight

:23:44. > :23:51.barb from Roger? Hats in a roundabout way. -- perhaps in a

:23:52. > :23:56.roundabout way. It is easy for him to say that when he has just come

:23:57. > :24:00.off serving 25 aces. Rafa Nadal has a different style of play. I would

:24:01. > :24:05.say that the bigger issue is in Grand Slams, they are meant to be

:24:06. > :24:12.taking 20 seconds in between and on tour, it is 25 seconds. I think 25

:24:13. > :24:16.seconds between points is the right number, because these rallies are so

:24:17. > :24:24.physical, when they are playing 30, 40. They had a 54 shot rally in the

:24:25. > :24:31.Andy Murray final last year. Quick word about Andy Murray's prospects

:24:32. > :24:36.tomorrow. It is a good draw. I have been impressed with the way he

:24:37. > :24:43.started. Bautista Agut won last week, so he comes in off a good

:24:44. > :24:47.year. He is obviously doing something right. Likewise, it will

:24:48. > :24:51.not be a match Andy Murray takes lightly but I do expect him to

:24:52. > :24:55.progress. Over Djokovic start things off on Centre Court tomorrow. --

:24:56. > :25:18.Novak Djokovic. From what we have seen today, the

:25:19. > :25:23.interesting thing about Nadal struggling and a couple of other

:25:24. > :25:29.things, the strength in depth in men's games, do you think the cream

:25:30. > :25:34.are just that fraction ahead of the rest? I do but when you see Kyrgios

:25:35. > :25:38.coming through against Gasquet, winning in these epic five set

:25:39. > :25:46.matches, that is the beauty of it because we just do not know what is

:25:47. > :25:49.going to happen. But still you really have the top four seeds who

:25:50. > :25:56.look like they are progressing nicely. Thank you very much. A

:25:57. > :26:00.truncated highlights tonight. Lots of matches held over until tomorrow,

:26:01. > :26:05.we will see you tomorrow. Hopefully it will not rain!
