:00:42. > :00:48.Since 1030 this morning the crowds have been pouring through the dates

:00:49. > :00:55.on the opening day of Wimbledon 2016. -- the gates. As tradition

:00:56. > :00:59.dictates play is opened by the defending champion, Novak Djokovic

:01:00. > :01:04.comes here as the holder of all four Grand Slam titles, up against him

:01:05. > :01:08.one of the heroes of the Davis Cup winning side for Britain, James

:01:09. > :01:16.Ward. That will be a highlight of our show as we bring you the

:01:17. > :01:25.Wimbledon highlights. We will catch up with last year 's runner-up

:01:26. > :01:29.Muguruza and we will look at the man who is living the dream, Marcus

:01:30. > :01:36.Willis came through qualifying and has already entered himself a

:01:37. > :01:40.fanatical fan base. The weather here over the last few weeks has been

:01:41. > :01:49.significantly better today compared to what we have seen in Glastonbury

:01:50. > :01:57.and everywhere else. It is a gorgeous evening, welcome to the

:01:58. > :02:04.highlights and I and joined -- and I will be joined by John McEnroe. John

:02:05. > :02:09.McEnroe will be with us, but I'm delighted to have you here,

:02:10. > :02:17.Marianne. I am so happy to be back with you.

:02:18. > :02:23.We will start with the early Centre Court action and Novak Djokovic is

:02:24. > :02:31.up against the British number five James Ward. Three weeks ago the

:02:32. > :02:35.world number one won his first French Open title and he served as a

:02:36. > :02:42.firm waiver to take a fourth Wimbledon and third in a row. He is

:02:43. > :02:53.fast tracking from being the fastest on the planet are one of the

:02:54. > :02:57.greatest in all time. When Ward heard that the draw had pitted him

:02:58. > :03:06.against Djokovic he responded with the sort of words for which earns a

:03:07. > :03:13.BBC warning. The shock took a while to warm off and it seemed it would

:03:14. > :03:23.take a while for him to get a grip on the match. Game and first set

:03:24. > :03:29.Djokovic. And the first nine games all went the way of Djokovic. We

:03:30. > :03:53.will see commentary in the tent. COMMENTATOR: Jackie Stewart is in

:03:54. > :03:54.the box today, he has been a frequent watcher of the Andy Murray

:03:55. > :04:17.matches. APPLAUSE

:04:18. > :04:28.That ball was asking to be hit and he hit it. That will poke him up a

:04:29. > :04:32.bit. It is really the 1-2 punch we are looking for, getting a defensive

:04:33. > :04:46.reply and looking to dominate with the next shot.

:04:47. > :04:57.Well, two not very good shots in succession. Anything flying that

:04:58. > :05:01.high should have two stewardesses on board, that will not get it done. I

:05:02. > :05:09.thought he was trying to bring in the smash! LAUGHTER

:05:10. > :05:19.The ball was called out. From our position, that did look out. It was

:05:20. > :05:38.pretty tight, it caught the back age, was it wide? Oh! -- edge.

:05:39. > :05:48.Biggest cheer of the afternoon for Hawk-Eye. James Ward has two chances

:05:49. > :06:01.here to get on board. That was out. Oh! A wry smile from Djokovic.

:06:02. > :06:04.APPLAUSE A British player wins a game for the

:06:05. > :06:17.first time on Centre Court this Wimbledon. CHEERING

:06:18. > :06:28.Credit for James Ward, not only getting a game on the board, but

:06:29. > :06:41.that reaction. We do love irony, don't we?

:06:42. > :06:55.Djokovic shaking, quaking in his boots!

:06:56. > :07:34.Oh! CHEERING APPLAUSE

:07:35. > :07:41.I have to say, from our position here, the work on that drop shot

:07:42. > :07:57.looked magical, but Ward got there. I thought it was a lobby that landed

:07:58. > :07:58.very short. -- lob. I thought he was trying to bounce it off the net on

:07:59. > :08:33.to the other side of the court. CHEERING

:08:34. > :08:34.Let's not undermine James Ward, but Djokovic is certainly

:08:35. > :08:41.underperforming in this game and it has given the British player three

:08:42. > :08:52.break points. He had four in the first set. He could not take them in

:08:53. > :08:57.the first set and that is the first one that has gone here. Is it too

:08:58. > :09:08.early to talk about the greatest comebacks in Wimbledon history. Yes.

:09:09. > :09:21.CHEERING It is on the! The comeback is on!

:09:22. > :09:25.STUDIO: Suddenly the fans on Centre Court had a match to enjoy, they

:09:26. > :09:29.were right behind their man. Both players moving exceptionally well,

:09:30. > :09:38.look at this! We will rejoin this second set with Ward serving three

:09:39. > :09:57.down. You suspect that actually most of

:09:58. > :10:04.the budget of the Icelandic tennis Federation must go on indoor courts,

:10:05. > :10:07.don't you think? I think Djokovic cooled off in those last three

:10:08. > :10:17.games, but the intensity is resuming. He does not want to be

:10:18. > :10:19.messing around. He wants to finish this set, this match off at the

:10:20. > :10:46.earliest possibility. CHEERING

:10:47. > :10:51.An interesting change up from Djokovic. He played the slice

:10:52. > :10:58.backhand short, forced water to move up and he moved into uncomfortable

:10:59. > :11:21.territory. You have got the unforced error, now 0-30.

:11:22. > :11:27.There will be many occasions over the next couple of weeks where many

:11:28. > :11:31.people talk about what a fantastic scoring system tennis has, because

:11:32. > :11:35.of the ebb and flow, but it can lead very quickly, you can feel yourself

:11:36. > :11:53.in the game and then out of it in a blink of an nine. --

:11:54. > :12:01.-- an eye. He is hanging in there, a bit of frustration on Djokovic's

:12:02. > :12:42.side there. Oh! Take that! A fourth ace for

:12:43. > :12:54.James Ward. It is still break point to defending champion.

:12:55. > :13:18.That is a well dug out of hole. Not quite out of it yet. Moving in the

:13:19. > :13:38.right direction. CHEERING

:13:39. > :13:43.And still moving in it. For really the first time Novak Djokovic

:13:44. > :13:57.showing some signs of frustration after that point. A bit of tension.

:13:58. > :14:14.STUDIO: The fightback insured that this first set, second set I should

:14:15. > :14:20.say went to a tie-break. Djokovic dominated that. Although the second

:14:21. > :14:26.set had taken 56 minutes, the third set had a single break and Djokovic

:14:27. > :14:34.ensured that he was firmly in control and served out to sea off

:14:35. > :14:41.the British challenger and move onto the second round watch by Boris

:14:42. > :14:46.Becker. Very proud of his man and afterwards Djokovic spoke to Gary

:14:47. > :14:53.Richardson. This is probably the most unique experience in tennis,

:14:54. > :14:59.playing as the defending champion of Wimbledon and I was on untouched

:15:00. > :15:04.grass, once you win Wimbledon, you know exactly when you play the first

:15:05. > :15:08.match next year. It is really special to feel this tradition and

:15:09. > :15:13.history to come back to the cradle of our sport. It was a wonderful

:15:14. > :15:22.experience. It was a number liveable day, I have spent a lot of time of

:15:23. > :15:27.Wimbledon -- at Wimbledon and I had a look at the court. When it is full

:15:28. > :15:31.up and you are playing against the world number one, it is the day you

:15:32. > :15:35.remember for the rest of your life. John McEnroe has joined us having

:15:36. > :15:44.watch Federer finally win that match. I love your location. It is a

:15:45. > :15:50.good view. It is not raining yet. We will also talk about your new role

:15:51. > :15:54.as a coach. I wanted to ask both of you first about James Ward and the

:15:55. > :15:57.first set and the first three games of the second set. When a match runs

:15:58. > :16:02.away from you before you can do anything about it. This match, it is

:16:03. > :16:07.on the Centre Court of Wimbledon against the number one player in the

:16:08. > :16:12.world in front of the whole country probably watching him. He feels the

:16:13. > :16:15.only thing he wants is just to get a game on the board. That must be the

:16:16. > :16:22.worst thing to go through and I think he did extremely well to

:16:23. > :16:28.regroup. I loved the way he was after 3-1 keeping ongoing and he

:16:29. > :16:34.tried to challenge. The reaction from his wife was the new have to

:16:35. > :16:38.admire. And Ward's reaction when he finally got a game on the board. He

:16:39. > :16:42.carried on and he said I have a game and I can move extremely well. He

:16:43. > :16:49.was starting to run well and tonight he will feel a lot better. It was a

:16:50. > :16:54.sensation on Centre Court. It was great to share with his whole

:16:55. > :17:02.family. It is hard to feel good when you are down 6-0, 3-0 and you are

:17:03. > :17:07.hoping to win a game. Djokovic showed he was classy and he

:17:08. > :17:14.understood things, he did not want to show as much mercy as he showed.

:17:15. > :17:22.Ward had a view chances at 5-0 and level this. I am trying to remember

:17:23. > :17:25.if it was 5-5 or 5-6, but he was a couple of points from levelling the

:17:26. > :17:30.match which would have been like beyond belief that that could

:17:31. > :17:41.actually happen. Reality is set in and Novak 's. -- and Novak stepped

:17:42. > :17:44.it up. James can be proud that he was able to play a good match on

:17:45. > :17:50.Centre Court under the crowd is happy. We are all happy. I have to

:17:51. > :17:57.disagree with you once again. We just started. I don't think that

:17:58. > :18:01.Novak showed him mercy. I think James got the stress of his

:18:02. > :18:08.shoulders and I think Novak was a bit surprised at the momentum. In

:18:09. > :18:14.the second set, he won that second set. He was lucky to beat James

:18:15. > :18:22.Ward. LAUGHTER Not lucky! I did not say he brought

:18:23. > :18:27.him back into the match, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt on

:18:28. > :18:36.this. James stepped up nicely and we all live happily ever raft. Novak is

:18:37. > :18:44.still going to the slam. LAUGHTER -- ever after. Now we will look at

:18:45. > :18:53.Mannarino versus Edmund. Do you think Mannarino can push in?

:18:54. > :18:58.Mannarino has the type of game that can cause problems people. He does

:18:59. > :19:01.not have the big game, but he is tricky, slick, lefty, he has some

:19:02. > :19:10.things going for him. To answer question, no. The bar is so high

:19:11. > :19:13.when you play Novak. Of course, if he is looking at the James Ward

:19:14. > :19:18.match, he will think I am better than James Ward, I can win at least

:19:19. > :19:25.a set and Mannarino likes grass courts. He was a bit of a surprise

:19:26. > :19:29.to see him coming, lots of drop shots, he comes to the net, plays

:19:30. > :19:36.extremely flat, takes the ball quite early. I think he will probably push

:19:37. > :19:39.Novak a bit. We have that to look forward to, Spain played Italy at

:19:40. > :19:50.the European Championships and it was the same on Centre Court as

:19:51. > :19:58.Giorgi played, this is the pick of the women's first round ties and it

:19:59. > :20:04.did not disappoint. Muguruza of Spain finished runner-up to Serena

:20:05. > :20:08.Williams last year. That potential was realised earlier this month when

:20:09. > :20:13.she became French Open champion, beating Serena Williams at Roland

:20:14. > :20:20.Garros. Giorgi is currently ranked 67th in the world. Her fashion

:20:21. > :20:23.designer mother Claudia is responsible for all her outfits. She

:20:24. > :20:33.reached the fourth round four years ago, but at her best she can beat

:20:34. > :20:35.anyone. Muguruza took the first set, it was tight in the second, we join

:20:36. > :20:55.with the Spaniard serving 5-6 down. COMMENTATOR: Time is absolutely

:20:56. > :20:59.right for her to take the second set. Everyone has come back after

:21:00. > :21:02.the first match. It is full. They are looking at the score and

:21:03. > :21:23.thinking what is this? Something could happen here.

:21:24. > :21:35.CHEERING How did she make the first one and

:21:36. > :21:41.missed the second? Have a look. Great hands, but then just... She is

:21:42. > :21:43.so much more comfortable hitting the driver volley and she won a drive

:21:44. > :22:44.volley off of this! Got to cover that tea on big points,

:22:45. > :22:56.she took that to Giorgi forehead, that would give her a much better

:22:57. > :23:07.chance making the return. -- Giorgi's forehead. Great length. She

:23:08. > :23:47.has got another bite at the cherry. Second set point.

:23:48. > :23:56.She has got it! She did not get carried away. They are all on their

:23:57. > :23:57.feet. And with that we were into a third and deciding set, let's rejoin

:23:58. > :24:27.it. The forehand held up pretty well,

:24:28. > :24:32.but a crushing backhand finisher. It was allowed to play with a bit more

:24:33. > :24:38.width here and when she gets front but it is goodbye. -- front foot it

:24:39. > :25:13.is goodbye. We saw it earlier long, showing how

:25:14. > :25:18.well she played the big points will stop that is no longer the case.

:25:19. > :25:22.There is no way she is playing at the level that she was in the first

:25:23. > :25:28.set at key moments. She has gone down slightly, I do not understand

:25:29. > :25:30.how long Giorgi can sustain this level. That is my question over this

:25:31. > :27:09.match. I like that serve right out to the

:27:10. > :27:12.forehand against Muguruza. I have a feeling she stands there with a

:27:13. > :27:14.backhand grip. She could have stood there with any grip and would not

:27:15. > :27:31.have got that one though. A bit of everything in this game,

:27:32. > :27:32.some great returning, double fault. A scorching winner, and unforced

:27:33. > :27:58.error. Still a rare assortment, 14 break

:27:59. > :29:24.point saved by Giorgi. Just popped up on that one. Lost

:29:25. > :30:04.control. Always the riskier side. Finally, after six break points and

:30:05. > :30:16.a ten minute game, Muguruza gets the breakthrough.

:30:17. > :30:31.STUDIO: And Muguruza maintains the advantage to serve for the match.

:30:32. > :30:37.The final score, 62, 75, six four. And that was a real test.

:30:38. > :30:45.You do not someone who -- you do not want someone who will hit the ball

:30:46. > :30:48.so hard. You really feel she can take the match out of your hands

:30:49. > :30:55.which is something you do not want to fear when it is your first Grand

:30:56. > :31:04.Slam, as Garbine Muguruza. Age Mendis amount of pressure. When

:31:05. > :31:11.played in Majorca, she was playing on clay. Here, she is on grass. It

:31:12. > :31:16.was all in the head, it was a mental battle and I think she did

:31:17. > :31:19.incredibly well. It was an incredible standard of tennis

:31:20. > :31:24.throughout, John. No grunting and for anyone who thinks women's tennis

:31:25. > :31:27.in the early stages of a Grand Slam can be one sided, this match proved

:31:28. > :31:37.people wrong? You knew when you looked at the

:31:38. > :31:41.draw, let's take a careful look at this, you do not know what is going

:31:42. > :31:46.to pan out when you put it on Centre Court. Muguruza is extremely

:31:47. > :31:50.confident, I would say she is cocky, and she has a right to be and maybe

:31:51. > :31:55.that is why she's able to challenge is arena and beat her at French. She

:31:56. > :31:59.is walking around strutting her stuff. The players know that. She is

:32:00. > :32:05.walking around as if she is the best player in the world. Maybe she is

:32:06. > :32:10.but you have got to prove it. And she has got to believe it. Of

:32:11. > :32:15.course, you have to find the fine line between rubbing it in people's

:32:16. > :32:19.face so they don't give it a bit extra, and secondly, you have to

:32:20. > :32:30.have some humility, a combination I did not know a whole lot about the

:32:31. > :32:39.first one! I knew a little bit about humility, come on! I think Muguruza,

:32:40. > :32:44.someone who will really help her is her coach. He knows very well how to

:32:45. > :32:49.keep a player into their routine, how to take the press away, take the

:32:50. > :32:53.whole circus that comes with it and stick to that routine and stick to

:32:54. > :33:02.what she knows of it which is hitting a tennis ball very, very

:33:03. > :33:08.hard. I think it has been very tough to enjoy being on the court again. I

:33:09. > :33:13.think Muguruza enjoys still the battle, she wants to be the number

:33:14. > :33:17.one. Obviously, she will have to face Serena Williams, once again

:33:18. > :33:21.here, but she is ready and she wants to take that weight on her

:33:22. > :33:26.shoulders. With 15 in total, there are more British players at

:33:27. > :33:28.Wimbledon that at any time since 2000 selects catch up with some of

:33:29. > :33:38.them with Paddy Geary. Before you take the short walk to

:33:39. > :33:46.the Wimbledon courts, it takes miles to build up reputations. Alex Ward

:33:47. > :33:53.was not afraid of a little legwork here. At times, it brought glorious

:33:54. > :33:58.reward. David Goffin is the 11th feed and was always likely to be too

:33:59. > :34:04.strong for the world 245. Victory here for Ward would have been

:34:05. > :34:10.priceless. Defeat Benson ?30,000 which he is more than happy with.

:34:11. > :34:17.Neither Naomi Broady or her opponent Elina Svitolina have been able to

:34:18. > :34:24.win on grass the season so someone's ability was going to improve.

:34:25. > :34:30.Brother Liam takes on Murray tomorrow. He is the only Broady in.

:34:31. > :34:35.Svitolina was through with no trouble.

:34:36. > :34:45.Bride incline has only had to pop up the road from his home in Kingston.

:34:46. > :34:57.He has done all this Camper an but he could not win the point. --

:34:58. > :35:04.scampering. Nicolas Mahut knows the power of stamina. A straight sets

:35:05. > :35:08.defeat but no white flag from Klein. It was thought Laura Robson would be

:35:09. > :35:14.a regular on the show courts but she has been thwarted so often with

:35:15. > :35:20.injury. Catching up is not easy and nor is playing Angelique Kerber.

:35:21. > :35:25.However hard Robson tried to ignite the sea to the macro spot which

:35:26. > :35:29.brought terror girls' title here, the numbers ultimately do not live.

:35:30. > :35:35.Dan Evans had an unusual start to his Wimbledon. For the first game of

:35:36. > :35:44.the first set, he was calling for first aid for a poorly ball boy.

:35:45. > :35:53.That was the end of his caring side. Then he ruthlessly exploited

:35:54. > :36:00.Jan-Lennard Struff's steps. Through tenacity and a tie-break, he took

:36:01. > :36:08.the third. Just as he had steadied himself, this happened. It took

:36:09. > :36:11.painkillers, but he played on. Adrenaline did the rest. Evans had

:36:12. > :36:19.never before made it beyond round one until now. All the effort and

:36:20. > :36:28.all the pain was worth it. There is a massive crowd cheering

:36:29. > :36:36.him on. A great story for Dan Evans. Now to the most heart-warming story

:36:37. > :36:41.of Day one. It features a man called Marcus Willis. He is ranked 772 in

:36:42. > :36:45.the world which is the lowest ranking in the whole draw apart from

:36:46. > :36:52.protected ranking players and he was the lowest for 16 years. He was

:36:53. > :36:58.playing against Ricardas Berankis from Lithuania. This is Branca 's

:36:59. > :37:53.serving to stay in the first set. A glimpse of an opportunity here.

:37:54. > :38:00.0-30 ahead on the Berankis serve. The Lithuanian has to dig himself

:38:01. > :38:21.out of a little bit of a whole to extend his first set.

:38:22. > :38:30.He has overcooked the forehand. That is just pressure. He is playing from

:38:31. > :38:36.an attacking sense but the movement as well, the amount of balls that he

:38:37. > :39:07.is running down, asking Berankis further questions. It is very good.

:39:08. > :39:21.STUDIO: Willis Loving it, as were his very vocal fans. Let's rejoin it

:39:22. > :39:57.in the second. Continuing to find the angles is

:39:58. > :40:01.Marcus Willis. Berankis could not retrieve that one. A love- 30 hole

:40:02. > :40:36.again. He has got him rattled, hasn't he?

:40:37. > :41:13.He most certainly is. STUDIO: Willis held his nerve and

:41:14. > :41:15.held his serve. He took the second set and we rejoin it in the third,

:41:16. > :41:34.two games all, Berankis serving. Very well crafted point. Approaching

:41:35. > :41:40.the net effectively. Carving out his drop shot winner. Yes, giving Willis

:41:41. > :41:59.a taste of his own medicine there with the short angle.

:42:00. > :42:11.Posing the question what can Berankis do to get himself back into

:42:12. > :42:30.the game. Surely, the first thing he has got to do is hang tough.

:42:31. > :42:38.A miscue on the forehand like the previous point. A third double fault

:42:39. > :42:59.of the match. He is normally more solid than this.

:43:00. > :43:09.And he finds the line. What a glorious stroke from Willis.

:43:10. > :43:14.Berankis playing a bit again. A good first volley. Credit to Willis for

:43:15. > :43:44.coming up with that. And he has done it! Marcus Willis

:43:45. > :43:48.secures the first service break of set number three to take a decisive

:43:49. > :44:00.lead. STUDIO: So much energy, so much

:44:01. > :44:04.positivity and around about two hours, Willis was in a position to

:44:05. > :44:07.serve for the match and a potential meeting with Roger Federer in round

:44:08. > :44:42.two. What a recovery and what a winner!

:44:43. > :44:45.Marcus Willis on the run, and outstretched forehand and finding

:44:46. > :44:51.the inside of the line with a fantastic shot! Yes, that was

:44:52. > :44:53.outstanding. I was about to sing Berankis's phrases in the first

:44:54. > :45:24.couple of points. And he is loving it. Asking for more

:45:25. > :45:50.from his enthusiastic supporters here.

:45:51. > :46:12.Two match points for Marcus Willis. This, his Grand Slam debut.

:46:13. > :46:26.What a way to close it out! CHEERING

:46:27. > :46:30.Marcus Willis, the man ranked 772 in the world, the man who has come

:46:31. > :46:42.through two rounds of prequalifying just make it through to Wimbledon

:46:43. > :46:46.2016, roars delight. -- roars with the light. CLARE BALDING: and he is

:46:47. > :46:51.the lowest ranked qualifier to reach round two since Jared Palmer at the

:46:52. > :46:59.1988 US Open. He told his girlfriend earlier this year that he was giving

:47:00. > :47:05.up tennis. She is called Jenny Bates and she said, no, don't do that. It

:47:06. > :47:11.was a week after we first met and he said, I might be going to America. I

:47:12. > :47:16.just sensed the way he said it. I said, don't go. Whatever it takes,

:47:17. > :47:21.whatever money you need or support, we will get it. After a week of

:47:22. > :47:27.knowing him? After a week. I would have said it the first night, it was

:47:28. > :47:31.instant with him. After winning the first set, you

:47:32. > :47:36.were celebrating every point? I love being here and I'm loving my tennis.

:47:37. > :47:40.It is great to be on court and loving my tennis. Usually, on a

:47:41. > :47:45.Monday afternoon you would be teaching kids. What do you want to

:47:46. > :47:52.say to them because they are bound to have watched today. Keep going,

:47:53. > :47:59.keep working hard. Now he has the prospect of, I will

:48:00. > :48:07.mention it quietly, Roger Federer. Who is that?! He's kind of a big

:48:08. > :48:12.deal in tennis. I'm sure it will hit me at some stage but I am loving

:48:13. > :48:20.every minute of it! Floating? Floating! He was in shock.

:48:21. > :48:25.It is an incredible story. I did think he could believe it. If you

:48:26. > :48:29.sent this script to Hollywood you would not believe it. I was in

:48:30. > :48:36.Wimbledon the movie and it was kind of the same story. He has got to

:48:37. > :48:40.face Roger Federer. I am not even sure how he got into the

:48:41. > :48:43.prequalification. That was a last-minute thing as well because

:48:44. > :48:49.one of the players could not get back from Turkey. Sometimes it is

:48:50. > :48:53.meant to be. What a fairy tale. It is great to see in our sport there

:48:54. > :48:59.is still some beautiful fairy tale stories. Yes, he might face Roger

:49:00. > :49:09.Federer, but guess what, he won seven matches. And he has a sweet

:49:10. > :49:12.girlfriend. To say after one week, we will do whatever you need to keep

:49:13. > :49:14.on playing tennis. That takes an very sweet. I love that story. I

:49:15. > :49:20.love fairy tale stories. His girlfriend Jenny was not meant to be

:49:21. > :49:25.here today. She is a dentist and she was meant to be working on somebody.

:49:26. > :49:31.The suction machine was not working so the procedure could not go ahead.

:49:32. > :49:36.She broke the machine! She was courtside and she will definitely be

:49:37. > :49:39.here for his next match against Roger Federer. You watched him

:49:40. > :49:46.against Guido Pelle and it was tighter than most people expected?

:49:47. > :49:55.Frustrating for Roger. For me, it is an educated guess, he is unsure of

:49:56. > :50:02.himself will but he played a couple of warm up events. Pelle is the kind

:50:03. > :50:08.of guy who competes. This guy has never won a single match on grass

:50:09. > :50:22.the entire time of his career. Roger at the end finally picked it up. I

:50:23. > :50:29.remember a guy is served for the match who is the same type of match.

:50:30. > :50:37.If I was Pella, I would have brought that tape out. There are not a lot

:50:38. > :50:43.of people who hit shots like Roger Federer does. When he needed to, he

:50:44. > :50:47.stepped up. For the last couple of games and I thought, OK, this is the

:50:48. > :50:53.guide we have watched before on Centre Court. He never looks

:50:54. > :50:57.nervous? For Roger, it is his health, and how much his back hurts.

:50:58. > :51:03.He could not play Roland Garros and it was such a shock for all of us in

:51:04. > :51:08.France because we love Roger Federer, especially in Paris. And to

:51:09. > :51:12.have an early exit in his warm up tournament, for Roger, it is about

:51:13. > :51:19.how much physically he can be as fit as possible. Tas the first time he

:51:20. > :51:25.has come in Wimbledon without having won a title all year. Let's talk

:51:26. > :51:32.about John McEnroe's new role. He is now a super coach. Milos Raonic got

:51:33. > :51:37.through to the final of Queen's. How did he played today, your man? He

:51:38. > :51:44.will not look back on today's match and say that is the best one he has

:51:45. > :51:50.played. Karina Buster came out all guns blazing, like Guido Pella. He

:51:51. > :51:56.came out swinging for the fences and it was working for a while. This guy

:51:57. > :52:00.is one of the five or six who can win this tournament. He is not the

:52:01. > :52:07.top pic but he could scare a lot of people. What do you think and what

:52:08. > :52:15.do you think you will try with Milos Raonic which could make the

:52:16. > :52:21.difference now and a final Grand Slam winner? I will not answer this

:52:22. > :52:31.now on live TV! Please, I am begging you! He cannot give away his secrets

:52:32. > :52:37.yet. I will say if he makes the final. He does not have the easiest

:52:38. > :52:43.drawers. We will have a look at some of the new and some of the old names

:52:44. > :52:50.in action. 19 years ago, Venus Williams first

:52:51. > :52:59.entered Wimbledon's orbit. In 1997, the 17-year-old did not last any

:53:00. > :53:05.more than a single round. Donna Beckett she celebrated her first

:53:06. > :53:10.birthday on the same day. When trouble came, the number eight seed

:53:11. > :53:14.dealt with it thoroughly. Modelling a new haircut but with her style

:53:15. > :53:20.otherwise little changed, Venus broke when she needed to and cruised

:53:21. > :53:29.through in straight sets. Madison Keys is already older than Venus

:53:30. > :53:34.Williams was but she has shown why she is a great hope. She is in the

:53:35. > :53:38.top ten and Madison Keys is through with ease.

:53:39. > :53:42.When the draw was made, Kei Nishikori would have known what to

:53:43. > :53:48.expect. Sam Groth is proud owner of the fastest serve on earth. The

:53:49. > :53:54.force loading that catapulted is a real steel. It is easy to get it

:53:55. > :53:58.wrong. Injured pride was followed later by an injured side.

:53:59. > :54:06.Nishikori's rib required treatment. His fitness may be a concern that it

:54:07. > :54:09.had no impact on this match. He had never gone through beyond the fourth

:54:10. > :54:16.round. Could this be his year? Simona Halep knows what it is like

:54:17. > :54:22.to fall at the first. Anna Karolina Schmiedlova toward the brunt of that

:54:23. > :54:27.today. Few players could come back after three years with injury but

:54:28. > :54:32.Ryan Baker is one of them. The American had a sense of urgency to

:54:33. > :54:36.achieve things. Unfortunately for him, ninth seed Marin Cilic was in

:54:37. > :54:46.his path. The battle with his body has made acre's appearance in itself

:54:47. > :54:49.interesting but it was brief. Katarina Alexandra Rover is ranked

:54:50. > :54:56.nearly 200 places below Ana Ivanovic, but the Russian dominated

:54:57. > :55:06.the first set. She won decisive sets in qualifying. But straight sets

:55:07. > :55:11.startlingly simple. The world number 223 has only gone and beaten a

:55:12. > :55:16.former world number one. But Ana Ivanovic has other things on

:55:17. > :55:20.her mind. She is going to be married. And she is marrying the

:55:21. > :55:25.German footballer Bastian Schweinsteiger. He was with her in

:55:26. > :55:30.Miami. I think she is very much in love. There are other things for her

:55:31. > :55:34.but she has still been number one in the world, still Grand Slam

:55:35. > :55:40.champion. It is really sad to see her going away so early. She was not

:55:41. > :55:45.the only seed to fall. Kevin Anderson went out to Denis Istomin

:55:46. > :55:54.of the Uzbekistan. And Jeremy Chardy knocked out the 70th seed Gael

:55:55. > :56:00.Monfils. That was a true shock. -- -- 17th seed. It was a real shock

:56:01. > :56:05.but he had some health problems. He had to pull out from Roland Garros.

:56:06. > :56:12.I think it is about recovering from that. He is allergic to grass

:56:13. > :56:16.courts! When you say things like that, I don't know whether that is

:56:17. > :56:22.true or not! Let's look at the shop of the day which we are going to

:56:23. > :56:41.award to Marcus Willis. -- shot of the day.

:56:42. > :56:47.Great movement from Marcus Willis. Fantastic play from him. He marches

:56:48. > :56:54.on. This is the order of play for tomorrow. Taylor Fritz is up against

:56:55. > :57:05.an Wawrinka. Could there be a shock there? They are followed by Johanna

:57:06. > :57:13.Konta and Monica Puig. And a former champion is up against Sorana

:57:14. > :57:18.Cirstea. Tradition detects the macro dictates the reigning women's

:57:19. > :57:28.champion is first out. Andy Murray and Liam Broady will be after that

:57:29. > :57:32.match. Taylor Fritz, in two sentences? Taylor Fritz will be a

:57:33. > :57:37.top ten player in the world. He has a big game. He is wise beyond his

:57:38. > :57:45.years. He is the youngest player in the draw. I expect big things from

:57:46. > :57:50.him. Stan Wawrinka should be careful. That is two strong

:57:51. > :57:58.sentences. Was more than two? No, it is perfect! And Marin, your

:57:59. > :58:04.highlight for the day? It is Marcus Willis winning his match because I

:58:05. > :58:12.love fairy tales! The most impressive performance of the day,

:58:13. > :58:18.John? Besides Milos Raonic... No, I am kidding! I think Muguruza's win,

:58:19. > :58:22.considering what she was up against and the pressure, to me, coming

:58:23. > :58:31.through the way she did shows me she is able to win additional Grand

:58:32. > :58:36.Slams. Thank you for your company for the first Today at Wimbledon of

:58:37. > :58:41.2016. Lots more coverage to come across the BBC, on radio, television

:58:42. > :58:47.and online. Some sensational matches coming up. It was a day which proved

:58:48. > :58:52.dreams come true as the world 772 earned himself a second-round

:58:53. > :58:54.meeting with Roger Federer, and a one day, earned nearly as much as he

:58:55. > :58:57.has MUSIC: Toreador Song from Carmen
