:00:42. > :00:50.Hello and welcome to Today at Wimbledon. Here on Centre Court, two
:00:51. > :00:55.British number one is back to back. Later on you will see Joanna Konta,
:00:56. > :01:08.but first it is Andy Murray and the fans are ready! -- Johanna. We will
:01:09. > :01:12.see how Murray managed against Lu. Could Konta take control against
:01:13. > :01:19.Bouchard? And will Dan Evans and Heather Watson winds through? 41
:01:20. > :01:25.extra matches had to be squeezed in today because of the brain
:01:26. > :01:34.yesterday. -- wins. Tim Henman is in charge. High praise! Tim Henman and
:01:35. > :01:39.Tracy Austin with me. We will concentrate on Andy Murray and windy
:01:40. > :01:46.Lu as he would like to be known. They have been here before.
:01:47. > :01:55.Flashback to 2013 and the second round. And even Andy Murray plays
:01:56. > :02:00.Lu, he beats him in straight sets. We know what happened that
:02:01. > :02:07.Wimbledon. Andy Murray is the Wimbledon champion! Three years on
:02:08. > :02:12.Andy Murray is seeded and he is coached by even than dogs and once
:02:13. > :02:25.again faces Lu in round two. -- by Ivan Lendl. Bands were hoping for a
:02:26. > :02:35.repeat of the same. You could call it deja lu. Murray started strong in
:02:36. > :02:41.the opening game of the match. A perfect drop shot, the sort of thing
:02:42. > :02:46.that Murray likes to do himself. We will join it with Lu serving 3-2 up.
:02:47. > :02:58.The commentary comes from Simon Reed and John McEnroe.
:02:59. > :03:11.JOHN MCENROE: Lu is definitely more confident on that backhand, more
:03:12. > :03:13.consistent. Murray is a student of the game, he knows that all too
:03:14. > :03:40.well. That is a super shot. Murray is
:03:41. > :03:41.going to challenge. It looked from our viewpoint like the back of the
:03:42. > :04:17.line. Not much in it. That is the one. You could see this
:04:18. > :04:22.coming and for him that is a safe return over a lower part of the net
:04:23. > :04:27.and he can be aggressive and it is spinning away from Lu, that is a
:04:28. > :04:34.tough shot for him to handle. It is like an inside out backhand. Where
:04:35. > :04:53.is his first serve? Murray is after the second.
:04:54. > :05:21.APPLAUSE A good serve, 129 mph. That is a
:05:22. > :05:52.good way to play the match, save one break point.
:05:53. > :06:32.CHEERING Even Andy Murray did not know.
:06:33. > :06:37.STUDIO: Great rally and Andy Murray was just sensational. We join them
:06:38. > :07:02.when Lu is 3-4 down. APPLAUSE
:07:03. > :07:22.The mistakes continued to come. -- continue.
:07:23. > :07:40.It is a bit of a problem right now with that son, but Lu's serve has
:07:41. > :07:48.gone completely off at the moment. -- sun. Just 42% of serves in at the
:07:49. > :07:49.moment. It was a whole lot better than that after the first couple of
:07:50. > :08:09.service games. APPLAUSE Suddenly it is a very different
:08:10. > :08:23.match. Break points for a second successive break.
:08:24. > :08:33.APPLAUSE STUDIO: After that slightly slow
:08:34. > :08:42.start, Murray was on a roll, he took the first set 6-3, the second set he
:08:43. > :08:45.broke twice and he took it two. He was in no mood to let Lu back in. We
:08:46. > :09:02.will join him serving for the match. JOHN MCENROE: It is pretty hard for
:09:03. > :09:10.anyone in the Murray camp not to be feeling pretty good. Not to mention
:09:11. > :09:13.his serve and energy. I wonder if Ivan Lendl will congratulate him?
:09:14. > :09:19.LAUGHTER APPLAUSE
:09:20. > :10:41.He is finishing with a flourish. That has some serious velocity on
:10:42. > :10:45.it. APPLAUSE After 39 minutes it is match point
:10:46. > :11:13.for the number two seed. CROWD GASPS
:11:14. > :11:17.APPLAUSE You know when you are doing good
:11:18. > :11:23.when people are amazed that you missed. They groaned because they
:11:24. > :11:25.wanted him to finish in spectacular style. It has been a spectacular
:11:26. > :12:11.performance. Game, set and match, Murray. A tour
:12:12. > :12:22.divorce from Andy Murray. -- toured a
:12:23. > :12:32.force -- tour de force. I think I finished the match well. As I went
:12:33. > :12:35.on I hit the ball better and better, I was feeling more comfortable with
:12:36. > :12:42.my movement and I just need to keep building on that. It was a good
:12:43. > :12:48.match for sure. Andy Murray's assessment of his performance, Tim,
:12:49. > :12:50.what did you make of it? It was fantastic, the foundation has been
:12:51. > :12:54.set over the past eight weeks and you look at the clay-court season, a
:12:55. > :13:01.totally different surface, but the amount of balls he had to hit, the
:13:02. > :13:05.coverage of the court but you cover on clay, then to come to a grass
:13:06. > :13:08.court where he is even more comfortable, he won Queen's and he
:13:09. > :13:16.is playing more comfortable than I have ever seen him play. You can
:13:17. > :13:24.certainly lose it in the first few weeks -- first week. Going back to
:13:25. > :13:29.Ivan Lendl, is that a good idea? I think it was a great idea, I think
:13:30. > :13:34.Ivan has always encouraged him to go after his forehand more, hit through
:13:35. > :13:38.the strikes, not, round too much. Look to move forward. The clay-court
:13:39. > :13:43.season for Andy was really spectacular, it was only last year
:13:44. > :13:48.that he won his first title on clay. Getting to the finals of the French
:13:49. > :13:53.as well. That is a huge build-up of confidence and then to get onto a
:13:54. > :13:59.surface where he thrives, on this surface. He gets rewarded for being
:14:00. > :14:06.determined. He has always loved the drop shot, but is it more effective
:14:07. > :14:11.in these conditions when there is a bit of moisture in the air? It is
:14:12. > :14:15.not only moisture, but it is also the front of the court, it is
:14:16. > :14:19.definitely green. People are not there so much, when you play a drop
:14:20. > :14:24.shot, the ball is not getting up too high. And he does like the drop
:14:25. > :14:28.shot, but certainly on grass more effective. The other thing about
:14:29. > :14:32.having Ivan Lendl in his corner, there is less chirping. Too often we
:14:33. > :14:41.see the chirping in the box, a lot with Amelie Mauresmo, when she had
:14:42. > :14:49.to go up to the sponsor suites when she did not want to hear it. Ivan
:14:50. > :14:56.does not want to hear it. That is beautiful. That shot is going to
:14:57. > :15:02.work on any surface. It is where do you play the drop shot from. You
:15:03. > :15:09.push your opponent back. Running into the umpires to! If you are a
:15:10. > :15:20.bit inside the court, you do not have so far to travel. -- into the
:15:21. > :15:25.umpire's chair! A tremendous feel. Great court sense and he knows when
:15:26. > :15:28.to use the drop shot, great ball recognition. The battle of the
:15:29. > :15:32.matches meant there are an awful lot of women on court all over the place
:15:33. > :15:37.and if you took a wander around, you were likely to come across a big
:15:38. > :15:44.name and a fantastic match. Our correspondent reports. Yesterday's
:15:45. > :15:50.reign at Wimbledon sprinkled seeds across the back courts. Court 18
:15:51. > :15:54.hosted Venus Williams, but there are most that shall rules for the stars
:15:55. > :16:03.if you take too long. Second service. Now she loses her first
:16:04. > :16:08.serve. The 20-year-old Greek woman won't stay at 115th in the world if
:16:09. > :16:13.she keeps on play tennis like this. She took a set from Venus with the
:16:14. > :16:19.oldest woman in the main draw knowing how to get out of a corner.
:16:20. > :16:26.She is 36, but few can match this power and when required, touch.
:16:27. > :16:33.Bigger stages of weight. We could head over to court 17 where Samantha
:16:34. > :16:38.Stosur met a Wimbledon finalist Lisicki. She has dropped to 81st in
:16:39. > :16:44.the world since reaching the final in 2013, but she grows on the grass.
:16:45. > :16:50.She knocked out the 14th seed in straight sets. Wimbledon certainly
:16:51. > :16:59.gives her something so she get something back. If you popped back
:17:00. > :17:06.to 18, you would find curb up. She won it in two sets. -- Kerber.
:17:07. > :17:18.Schiavone was a French Open winner six years ago while her opponent had
:17:19. > :17:24.not won one but is due. Schiavone managed a few shots, but it was a
:17:25. > :17:29.straight sets defeat. Perhaps Bencic should have known something was up
:17:30. > :17:38.when she had her shoes inspected. The American who is only 125 was on
:17:39. > :17:46.her game, but Bencic was not. It was not her feet, but her wrist. A set
:17:47. > :17:52.down, she retired early. As the day drew on, a remarkable story of
:17:53. > :18:02.folded on Court Two. Radwanska, the third seed, she was facing Konjuh.
:18:03. > :18:07.Radwanska sees the second set, but the Croatian teenager battled back
:18:08. > :18:11.again and this break point left her serving for the match. She had two
:18:12. > :18:17.match points on the serve, but Radwanska recovered and fate was to
:18:18. > :18:23.take a horrible twist for Konjuh. She has twisted her ankle badly
:18:24. > :18:27.there. There is no doubt about it. Still, she refused to give up,
:18:28. > :18:31.fighting on until she had nothing left. Radwanska advances, but on a
:18:32. > :18:40.day of stars, they will remember Konjuh. STUDIO: Was such a shame for
:18:41. > :18:50.Konjuh. You could see Radwanska saying, are you OK? The biggest
:18:51. > :18:59.shock was the departure of Muguruza. The score was 6-3, 6-2. There is
:19:00. > :19:15.stretches at play. Muguruza just was not on it today. Chappell --
:19:16. > :19:18.Cepelova beat Serena in the past. But Muguruza looked really
:19:19. > :19:23.uncomfortable out on court and Cepelova played well. You have two
:19:24. > :19:32.handed to her. It is difficult to watch her. Cepelova said afterwards
:19:33. > :19:38.that she loves playing on the big names on court, she was not overawed
:19:39. > :19:42.one bit. After winning the strolling open at the beginning of the year,
:19:43. > :19:46.the pressure of being a champion really got to her, do you think at
:19:47. > :19:55.the French Open there was any inkling of that? Muguruza lost the
:19:56. > :19:59.first round, so I do. I do not know, I just feel like it is Serena and
:20:00. > :20:03.the rest and it has been a merry-go-round at number two and so
:20:04. > :20:07.many of these young ladies have this great success and they cannot
:20:08. > :20:11.sustain it. So many players in past generations, once they felt they had
:20:12. > :20:14.won the Grand Slam, it gave them confidence and they felt they were
:20:15. > :20:19.part of the elite and they would carry on and be able to handle that.
:20:20. > :20:23.I find it an interesting concept that so many of them are feeling the
:20:24. > :20:30.pressure and they are shying away from it. Muguruza was asked about
:20:31. > :20:35.that at the press conference. For sure, more expectations from other
:20:36. > :20:38.people, but for me, I knew very clear that it would be a rough
:20:39. > :20:43.tournament for me after winning a Grand Slam and coming here. Everyone
:20:44. > :20:48.looking at me. Honestly not really, I know the matches are tough and
:20:49. > :20:53.nothing will happen, I lost today, it is normal, it is part of the
:20:54. > :20:57.game. Hopefully I lose fewer matches, but there is not any drama.
:20:58. > :21:01.She is trying to be sensible about it. Interesting perspective, but I'm
:21:02. > :21:08.sure she will be mightily disappointed. She has a great game
:21:09. > :21:12.on grass. She is very aggressive on grass, she has a big serve, can
:21:13. > :21:17.dominate. Straight on the back of Roland Garros, she lost at the
:21:18. > :21:28.Joker, that would have been disappointing, at her home
:21:29. > :21:33.tournament. -- Majorca. Did we get planning permission from you, this
:21:34. > :21:46.is your spot. I was thinking about routes and staff. You have a
:21:47. > :21:59.blanket. -- roof s. Heather Watson was delayed by rain, she was trying
:22:00. > :22:03.to beat the weather and Anna -- her opponent. Heather Watson served
:22:04. > :22:08.against Serena Williams last year only to see the miracle turn to
:22:09. > :22:20.Mirage, can she ever forget how close she came? This year brought a
:22:21. > :22:31.chance to have victory, but Beck held in the third overnight. They
:22:32. > :22:37.break of serve. At first it swung away from Watson, Beck, the world
:22:38. > :22:45.number ?43 on her serve. Heather is hurling her racket into the ground,
:22:46. > :22:50.that got her a code violation. Four games in a row went her way, the
:22:51. > :22:56.brakes she lost were achieved. That is how you do it. The scales were
:22:57. > :23:02.rebalanced, in this set serving with little security. Again the game
:23:03. > :23:07.broke, then she would win the match if she broke serve. Break or bust
:23:08. > :23:16.for Watson now, they gain from urgency came quality. -- again. Now
:23:17. > :23:20.game followed game, no one dared follow this. This is effectively a
:23:21. > :23:27.penalty shoot out between Germany and England. But with the score
:23:28. > :23:34.10-9, the German blinked. Watson had three match points, Beck saved them
:23:35. > :23:40.all. It is on the line! You have to say that was very brave from back.
:23:41. > :23:48.Holding her serve she wrestled back momentum. She made sure Watson made
:23:49. > :23:53.the mistake. That has gone long and Anneka -- and Beck has won against
:23:54. > :23:58.Heather Watson. I was not pleased with the match in general, how I
:23:59. > :24:04.played. Having match point and not being able to win. I take losses
:24:05. > :24:08.badly, but this is one of the worst. Does the spectre of Serena still
:24:09. > :24:14.haunt Heather Watson, who knows? But her Wimbledon hopes must wait
:24:15. > :24:18.another year. It was desperate to watch actually. Even in highlight
:24:19. > :24:24.form, awful to watch again. She did so well to get herself back in the
:24:25. > :24:29.match. She went for it on the first one and missed it and I talked to
:24:30. > :24:34.Michelle, Heather's mum, she agreed she was too passive on the next two.
:24:35. > :24:38.That is tough when you have to finish in match and you lose. She
:24:39. > :24:41.was not happy with the way she played it. You always want to play
:24:42. > :24:46.the way you play your best tennis and when Heather goes for her shots,
:24:47. > :24:54.that is when she is playing at her best. This is difficult, the second
:24:55. > :24:57.year of a heartbreaker. Last year, the third round, the best much of
:24:58. > :25:02.her life, those two points beating Serena. I always felt that it is
:25:03. > :25:07.more difficult to sleep at night when you win a point and then lose a
:25:08. > :25:13.point. A home tournament, to get that close. She did so well. She
:25:14. > :25:19.lost nine games in a row, the second set 6-0, she kept on fighting. Then
:25:20. > :25:30.to get that close. Down 4-1 in the third as well. Then to have 0-40 on
:25:31. > :25:35.your serve. She had a confession about something that she did. Have
:25:36. > :25:44.you heard anything about the nasty stuff on Twitter? Do you think today
:25:45. > :25:51.will lead to more of that? Absolutely, I was just in the
:25:52. > :25:59.changing rooms with Naomi Broady and Tara Moore. I feel I need to punish
:26:00. > :26:03.myself after something like this. Just to like... I don't know,
:26:04. > :26:08.because it was not a good day. I went on Twitter and there was
:26:09. > :26:13.plenty. Did it in some perverse wager you up? Definitely not, why
:26:14. > :26:22.would that cheer me up? People say nasty things. But you deliberately
:26:23. > :26:28.looked it up? I was in a bad mood, it is like when you bang your
:26:29. > :26:34.racket, it is not a positive thing. You are taught at an early age not
:26:35. > :26:39.to read magazine articles, my mum said if it is good it blows your
:26:40. > :26:45.head up and if it's not... There could be 100 positive ones and 1-1
:26:46. > :26:58.and the -1 will linger. People that tweet are so nasty. -- and 1-1 and
:26:59. > :27:06.that one will linger. -- and one negative article and that will
:27:07. > :27:10.linger. You do not need to go and assess somebody else's opinion that
:27:11. > :27:16.is relevant and they do not know anything about what you are doing.
:27:17. > :27:20.It is wasted energy. Heather has a lot of opportunities ahead. She has
:27:21. > :27:24.to look back at the match and so this is what was frustrating. She
:27:25. > :27:27.had three match points to win at Wimbledon, she did not take them.
:27:28. > :27:32.She has to use that motivation to get back on the practice court and
:27:33. > :27:36.get better results. Not what some loser is saying on Twitter. Very
:27:37. > :27:41.good advice from Tim Henman, I hope she is listening. Yesterday was all
:27:42. > :27:53.about Marcus Willis, today his great mate Dan Evans had a match against
:27:54. > :27:59.Federer. -- against Dolgopolov. They were both in really good form. A
:28:00. > :28:00.double fault in the end from Dolgopolov handed Evans that first
:28:01. > :28:43.set. We will join it in the second. COMMENTATOR: Behind him twice! A
:28:44. > :29:09.very controlled performance. APPLAUSE
:29:10. > :29:56.Three break points. In the end he could not find a
:29:57. > :30:02.slice. Evans is ranked 91 in the world and
:30:03. > :30:14.Alexandr Dolgopolov is the 19th seed. But Daniel Evans still won the
:30:15. > :30:15.second set with touch at the net. Alexandr Dolgopolov is serving to
:30:16. > :32:10.stay in the match in the third set. Combination again, the slice and the
:32:11. > :32:54.big forehand perfectly executed. APPLAUSE
:32:55. > :32:57.The crowd responding. Three minutes short of two hours. Daniel Evans
:32:58. > :33:23.comes to match point. UMPIRE: Game, set and match. And it
:33:24. > :33:30.is a truly convincing victory by the British player. He is not a normal
:33:31. > :33:35.guy, but he is another tennis player I have to prepare myself to just
:33:36. > :33:36.play another match against him. It would be
:33:37. > :33:41.play another match against him. It would be stupid to say it is not a
:33:42. > :33:47.special occasion to play him on the big cord. I just have to prepare
:33:48. > :33:52.myself best and try and put that to the back of my head that it is Roger
:33:53. > :33:56.I am playing and go out and give it my best. Daniel Evans talking about
:33:57. > :34:01.his next round which will be against Roger Federer. He will ring Marcus
:34:02. > :34:07.Willis for advice because they are mates. How good a performance was
:34:08. > :34:11.that? Very good. He has got a lot of ability, but there have always been
:34:12. > :34:16.questions about the commitment and how dedicated he is towards the
:34:17. > :34:20.sport. To back up his first round win and get through to the third
:34:21. > :34:24.round and have that opportunity to play Federer, he has done really
:34:25. > :34:29.well. Irrespective of what happens in the next match I think it is
:34:30. > :34:33.really important he kicks on and uses this as a platform to continue
:34:34. > :34:40.to rise up the rankings because he has a lot of ability. That touch was
:34:41. > :34:45.like Andy Murray. What is the Murray effect? Is it because he trains and
:34:46. > :34:51.works so that the others around him are feeling that? He is the ideal
:34:52. > :34:55.role model. You look at every aspect of his game, whether it is the work
:34:56. > :35:00.he does in the gym or on the track, or his diet or the way he practices,
:35:01. > :35:05.the attention to detail, all those young players, both men and women,
:35:06. > :35:16.can look up to him and say that is the level of
:35:17. > :35:20.commitment. There are no grey areas with commitment, you are either in
:35:21. > :35:24.or out. With all due respect for a long time Daniel Evans has been out
:35:25. > :35:26.and he is buying into it and he has had some good results. He has broken
:35:27. > :35:30.into the top 100. Hopefully this will instil the work ethic he has
:35:31. > :35:34.got to continue with. He would have a bit more time ordinarily to think
:35:35. > :35:38.of the Federer match, but he is back tomorrow. I need to bring the
:35:39. > :35:44.results from the Coventry league and that is that Marcus Willis and his
:35:45. > :35:50.partner one dead doubles. He said yesterday was a warm up. How far
:35:51. > :35:58.away was that from here? An hour and a bit. Use some of that money that
:35:59. > :36:04.he won? We have a lot more to discuss. We are going to show you
:36:05. > :36:14.the match between Johanna Konta and Eugenie Bouchard. British number one
:36:15. > :36:19.Johanna Konta's first round victory over Monica Pugh it was her first
:36:20. > :36:24.ever singles win at NSW 19 in five years of trying. Today the number 16
:36:25. > :36:29.seed was looking to make it two in two days. Her opponent, Canada's
:36:30. > :36:34.Eugenie Bouchard was Wimbledon runner-up in 2014. At the 2015 US
:36:35. > :36:39.Open and she slipped in the locker room and suffered a head injury and
:36:40. > :36:45.concussion and withdrew from the event. She filed a lawsuit against
:36:46. > :36:53.the organisers which is pending. Head tennis has been curtailed and
:36:54. > :36:57.her ranking has fallen to number 48. It was Konta who struck first in
:36:58. > :37:04.front of her home crowd, but the 16th seed then lost her home served
:37:05. > :37:09.twice for Eugenie Bouchard to take the opening set 6-3. We join it in
:37:10. > :37:23.the second set with commentary from Sam Smith and Tracy Austin.
:37:24. > :37:30.It is exactly what you were saying, it is about not allowing your
:37:31. > :37:35.emotions to take over your rational mind. It is difficult to do when you
:37:36. > :37:59.are in this kind of arena and you are a set down and pressure is on.
:38:00. > :38:11.TRACY AUSTIN: Konta handled it very well in the first round. Monica Pugh
:38:12. > :38:17.reeked of Porto Rico, number 36 in the world, just outside of being
:38:18. > :38:26.seeded. Monica Pugh each also got to the semifinals, so an nifty grass
:38:27. > :38:29.court player. And also Konta had to come back and sleep on the match and
:38:30. > :38:33.had to finish the match on Court Number One. That is sometimes
:38:34. > :38:53.difficult, which added nerves. Konta has an on-board computer and
:38:54. > :38:55.the hard drive is doing well here. Gives her a chance to get an early
:38:56. > :39:45.break. CLARE BALDING: Konta exhorting
:39:46. > :39:56.herself and she did and she took the second set 6-1. Let's head into the
:39:57. > :40:54.deciding set with Konta serving. Well, at this time in the evening
:40:55. > :40:57.there is a little moisture in the green section of the court. The
:40:58. > :41:03.baseline is starting to rip up now and the court is playing far harder
:41:04. > :41:11.than it was a couple of days ago. I think the players like it. It has
:41:12. > :41:15.been very soft. In the first couple of days it was very greasy and the
:41:16. > :41:22.players did not feel they have much traction, on the edge of slipping.
:41:23. > :41:38.You might remember, Tracy, we have had a drop of rain here!
:41:39. > :42:06.She had 144 until this game and now two already. -- one double fault.
:42:07. > :42:16.That is a magnificent forehand. She stayed down through it. What an
:42:17. > :43:10.angle. Her forehand has improved, in particular at this sharp angle.
:43:11. > :43:32.Oh, fabulous. What a way to get the break in this deciding set.
:43:33. > :44:24.Bouchard approaching up the middle so as not to give Konta an angle.
:44:25. > :44:44.Stunning. That is resilient after getting her serve broken.
:44:45. > :44:48.She had three chances to break Bouchard in the opening game of this
:44:49. > :45:22.final set. Three more now. Two missed returns. She has got to
:45:23. > :45:44.get this one in play to keep the pressure on.
:45:45. > :45:56.Her feet did not move. They got stuck. And on this surface more than
:45:57. > :46:00.any others you have to have happy feet because you might get the odd
:46:01. > :46:06.bounce in the last second that you might need to adjust to. Bouchard is
:46:07. > :46:13.doing a great job behind the break point of winning seven from ten.
:46:14. > :46:20.This is the resilience from her that we did not see last year. She looked
:46:21. > :46:25.miserable on the tennis court as if she wanted to be anywhere but
:46:26. > :46:52.hitting a tennis ball. It was hard to watch at times. Bouchard is back.
:46:53. > :46:57.UMPIRE: Miss Bouchard is challenging the call. That is confidence for
:46:58. > :47:19.you. Serve. Now the Canadian number one is
:47:20. > :47:24.flying here now. She sprints into a 3-0 lead.
:47:25. > :47:30.CLARE BALDING: And to be honest she did not stop sprinting. Konta had a
:47:31. > :47:35.couple of opportunities to break back, but after an hour and 47
:47:36. > :47:36.minutes the Canadian clinched her place in the third round. Let's hear
:47:37. > :47:47.from them. It was a good match, we played high
:47:48. > :47:51.quality tennis. She has a great game and can become a really good player.
:47:52. > :47:56.I feel like in a way she forced me to raise my level. It was very high
:47:57. > :48:03.quality and I am proud of the way I finished. It is a battle between two
:48:04. > :48:09.competitors and I really enjoyed it. I think I have got a lot of good
:48:10. > :48:15.things to take away from that match and a lot of things I hope to
:48:16. > :48:21.implement in my development as a tennis player and as a person. So, I
:48:22. > :48:24.definitely would have liked to have stayed longer in the singles, but I
:48:25. > :48:29.am very happy with the experience that I had today. She is
:48:30. > :48:36.philosophical and positive and she has made an incredible rise to where
:48:37. > :48:40.she is. That was a tough draw. Very much so. We talk about Andy Murray
:48:41. > :48:46.leading from the front and what she has achieved in the last few months
:48:47. > :48:52.is fantastic. She was 146 and is now in the top 20 and is seeded 16.
:48:53. > :48:57.There are no magic secrets, it has been continuous hard work and
:48:58. > :49:00.dedication. It was a tough draw, Bouchard did very well playing a
:49:01. > :49:05.British player on Centre Court and to deal with the adversity. But
:49:06. > :49:09.Johanna cannot deal with this too much. She has had her first match on
:49:10. > :49:14.Centre Court and she can build on this. For Bouchard this is a
:49:15. > :49:20.breakthrough moment because it has been an awful time for her. It has
:49:21. > :49:25.been a difficult time for her since 2014 and she has struggled with the
:49:26. > :49:29.expectations with so many more eyes on her in 2015 and it was difficult
:49:30. > :49:35.to watch her play because it did not look like she was enjoying it. Now
:49:36. > :49:39.she has hooked up with her coach Nick Saviano and he's started
:49:40. > :49:46.working with her when she was 12. That was important for her. At the
:49:47. > :49:51.end of 2014 she got rid of Nick and with all the expectations you need
:49:52. > :49:56.somebody familiar around you. She has played the best I have seen her
:49:57. > :50:01.since coming back. She had that concussion at the US Open and had
:50:02. > :50:05.started to build momentum. She felt when she was going to an ice bath
:50:06. > :50:09.late at night and did not play for the rest of the year. It has taken
:50:10. > :50:16.her a while and this was an impressive match. It was a weird
:50:17. > :50:20.dynamic. Konta was supposed to win this match. She had just broken into
:50:21. > :50:26.the top 20 and had played only one other match on Centre Court last
:50:27. > :50:33.year against Sharapova with a decisive win. In one year she has
:50:34. > :50:38.improved so much. It is up here. Technically she has always had a
:50:39. > :50:41.huge serve. At 25 it is all starting to come together and it is the
:50:42. > :50:46.mental coaching and the process which she calls it, terrific
:50:47. > :50:52.maturity and I expect big things from Konta. She has enjoyed her
:50:53. > :50:56.experience, it is a shame she did not get a chance to play more. The
:50:57. > :51:03.rain delay had an effect and you could see lots of men's matches all
:51:04. > :51:06.over the place. Patrick Gearey can bring us up to date on a few men who
:51:07. > :51:11.may have wished they had stayed indoors.
:51:12. > :51:15.Plenty of tennis to get through the day. With clear weather came a
:51:16. > :51:23.return of the Wimbledon bones. Julien Benneteau proved a to Kei
:51:24. > :51:30.Nishikori. The Frenchman took the first set, but Nishikori eventually
:51:31. > :51:35.swatted him in fourth away. Nobody wanted to stop for showers again,
:51:36. > :51:43.but after some drizzle Gilles Simon was not taking any chances. There is
:51:44. > :51:46.no chance. I will sue you. He did not call the lawyers in the end,
:51:47. > :51:53.although he nearly caused an accident of his own. He ended up
:51:54. > :52:00.losing his case in this court. The 16th seed was beaten 3-1 by Grigor
:52:01. > :52:06.Dimitrov, world number 32. On Court three more of the same. Milos Raonic
:52:07. > :52:13.also does not like playing in rain and Andreas Seppi was also a little
:52:14. > :52:18.wayward. Deep breaths. John McEnroe says Milos Raonic can win Wimbledon.
:52:19. > :52:24.Bold words matched with bold tennis, through in straight sets. Marin
:52:25. > :52:30.Cilic's match proved closer than some might have imagined. The world
:52:31. > :52:40.number 94 to set from the number nine only to lose in four. He gave
:52:41. > :52:45.it everything. Marin Cilic will play a real giant killer hook at the 23rd
:52:46. > :52:51.seed down to size over the course of four sets. The big Croatian could
:52:52. > :52:58.not find his range with the ground strokes to the Slovakian's delight.
:52:59. > :53:03.Another seed found unforgiving ground on course 16. David Ferrer,
:53:04. > :53:09.13th seed, and a former French Open finalist, outplayed in straight sets
:53:10. > :53:14.by Nicolas Mahut. Richard Gasquet must have felt he was losing his
:53:15. > :53:18.grip on his match with Marcel Granollers. Richard Gasquet has
:53:19. > :53:24.reached the semifinals here twice and he knows when to dig deep and
:53:25. > :53:34.how to get himself out of trouble. But eventually here he had too much.
:53:35. > :53:42.One last surprise lay in wait. Dominic Thiem is seen by many as
:53:43. > :53:53.tomorrow's man, but today he plays world number 64, Jiri Vesely. But
:53:54. > :53:56.the poker face finally slept. What an extraordinary final point
:53:57. > :54:02.and Jiri Vesely with a huge roar knocks Dominic Thiem out of
:54:03. > :54:07.Wimbledon. It is a shame about Dominic Thiem.
:54:08. > :54:13.Lots of names went today and there was so much going on. A lot of
:54:14. > :54:20.players slipping. Conditions are tricky. Are they? No, they are all
:54:21. > :54:26.right. It is still a little bit lush. They have not had a massive
:54:27. > :54:30.chance to dry out. When you get around the extremities of the court
:54:31. > :54:35.it will still be green and you will always see a bit of slipping, but
:54:36. > :54:38.there is not much to worry about. I have seen so many more slips at
:54:39. > :54:44.other tournament than here. It is the way it is. With a three-week gap
:54:45. > :54:49.at Wimbledon they get more of a chance to get used to playing on
:54:50. > :54:53.grass. You have both got children and for those at home with teenagers
:54:54. > :55:00.and toddlers you will appreciate the effort that goes into a really good
:55:01. > :55:14.rant. This takes the biscuit today. This is Viktor Troicki on Court
:55:15. > :55:21.number 17. What? No! No way, look at it. Come on, please, look at it.
:55:22. > :55:51.White, white. Look at it! UMPIRE: Game, set and match. Albert
:55:52. > :55:58.Ramos-Vinolas. Umpire, do you know what you did? Do you know what you
:55:59. > :56:11.did? Do you know what you did? You are horrible.
:56:12. > :56:19.BOOING What are you doing here? What do you
:56:20. > :56:29.want to talk about? You are the worst ever. I mean, it was a crucial
:56:30. > :56:36.point. I should not laugh. You are horrible! It was unfortunate. The
:56:37. > :56:40.problem was there was a sound made by the line judge and they thought
:56:41. > :56:45.about calling it out, but he did not have a play on the ball because it
:56:46. > :56:50.was going to be an ace. He had a few problems with the umpire before that
:56:51. > :56:58.and he was not a happy bunny. Players can get emotional at
:56:59. > :57:05.Wimbledon and he lost his cookies. It was almost comical to watch. On a
:57:06. > :57:14.more positive note this is our choice for short of the day. And it
:57:15. > :57:31.is Fabio Fognini. We have to get some variety in this,
:57:32. > :57:36.we cannot always go for the old lob. It is not just one match that Marcus
:57:37. > :57:43.Willis was playing with Gavin Henderson. He is playing a second.
:57:44. > :57:46.It is the Warwick Club and they are playing against Coventry and they
:57:47. > :57:50.are playing the second match under the lights in the shadow of the
:57:51. > :57:57.local supermarket and it is still going on. Let's have a look at the
:57:58. > :57:58.order of play tomorrow. Stan Wawrinka against Juan Martin Del
:57:59. > :58:21.Potro will be a really good match. You've got to see Nick Kyrgios
:58:22. > :58:24.against Dustin Brown. It has been the Wimbledon fairy tales so far and
:58:25. > :58:30.Tara Murray gets her chance tomorrow against Svetlana Kuznetsova, the
:58:31. > :58:34.former French Open winner. It has been a day of massive shops with 18
:58:35. > :58:42.seats going out, 11 women and seven men. I do not know whether that is a
:58:43. > :58:49.record. But savvy Muguruza is a real shock. Absolutely. Thank you to
:58:50. > :58:56.Tracy and Tim. Tim will be with us tomorrow night. He will be joined by
:58:57. > :58:58.John McEnroe. We can depend on you and we can depend on this man as
:58:59. > :59:04.well. See you tomorrow, goodbye.
