Day 6 Highlights Today at Wimbledon

We are living in uncertain times, but amidst that, some things remain

constant. Wimbledon is one such thing. Why? Take this week. The rain

has fallen, so have the seeds. It is the biggest upset of the tournament

so far. What a stunning assault. It has not been a happy hunting ground

again. The sun has shone, so have the stars. What a way to finish.

This remains Roger Federer's house. A tour de force from Andy Murray. As

is tradition on middle Saturday, the Royal box was full of some twinkly

guests from the world of sport. But the biggest invasion was reserved

for one of the few, a rare woman indeed, who flew Spitfires and

retains in World War II, 92-year-old Joy Lofthouse.

It was an incredibly moving start to the day, a day that has been beset

by showers, we have had three or four rain delays, frustrating for

the players. For the spectators, they get evening tennis, just under

an hour left of light. We will keep you across the results. If you want

to continue watching Jack Sock against Milos Raonic, that is on the

red button. We have a panel of brains, talent, to discuss! We will

start with a story that began last night, as we all went to bed

wondering whether the unthinkable could happen, whether Novak

Djokovic, the best player in the world, the hold-up of all grand

titles, could be beaten. He went to bed 2-0 down against Sam Querrey.

Sam Querrey from the United States number 41 in the world, that is what

Novak Djokovic faces today. It is clean. He has come to play. His

concentration is not good. Sustained pressure from the American.

What a pass on the backhand side. It is a mini-break. That is a fantastic

set of tennis. A real shock brewing here on Court Number One at the end

of the day. I would not be surprised if Querrey steals two sets here. An

extraordinary serving performance. Play suspended. That is it.

Wonderful performance from him, who would have thought it? Djokovic two

sets down. The rain break may have come at the

right time for Novak Djokovic, Querrey was tight and nervous this

afternoon. Djokovic was better, he raced into a

4-0 lead, when they went off again. When they came back, he took the

third set 6-3. The comeback was on. At 1-1, it rained again, but not for

long, so the players hung out in a locker room to the side of Court

One, which does not have a roof. Temp Micro under huge pressure to

about this fourth set. We will join it on his serve, he has saved three

break points. It is advantage Djokovic.

He did so well. The first was not much good, the second was great.

After this little piece of magnificence, there was an eruption.

Whatever is going on in there, it came out right there. Quite a

fearsome sight. Like Vesuvius on a consummate afternoon.

A clearly emotional Djokovic trying to fire himself to a new level.

It would be a major surprise if this man were to go out at the very top

of the draw. Fancy getting to Wimbledon only

having lost two completed matches, both on clay.

Chances now for Djokovic to break through deep in this fourth set.

Mr Querrey is challenging the ball on the service line. If it was long,

it did not miss by much. This is a ninth break point in this

set for Djokovic. That is the 30th ace of the match for Querrey. Still

need a few more. It is quite hard to be philosophical

when those things go past all the time.

Querrey has to dominate with his first couple of strikes in the

rally. If it goes more than five shots, Djokovic starts to exploit

the movement. That is it, the breakthrough which

may mean two sets all. Finally, a break of serve.

He has not challenged. Twice in a row, we know that that ball was in.

Two in a row, serving for the set. Not shop between the yesterday.

At this stage of the match, if there was even the slightest element of

that, you would ask the question. If he had any challenges left.

He has found it. He did not have both challenges left. It is us not

sharp, he was fine! Sam Querrey, sharp on the backhand down the line.

Amazing. It is not as if Querrey has been

brilliant on the break point either, three from 14 in the match.

He has missed it. Can you believe that?

Extraordinary to see Djokovic make so many mistakes when serving for

the set. The rain came down again, he says to Boris Becker, I need to

talk to you. From potentially going into a deciding set, Djokovic now at

5-5, these amazing shots showing him preparing. They both helped their

serve to go into a tie-break. Djokovic already a mini-break ahead.

The longest rally of the match, admirable resistance from Sam

Querrey. Closing in on the biggest victory of

his career. Does he start thinking about the winning line?

Mr Querrey is challenging the call. I am pretty sure it did not even

touch the line, it was so far inside it.

So much eye contact between Djokovic and Boris Becker and his camp up

there. I would have loved to have heard their conversation during the

breaks, especially the last one. He is really on the edge now. Two

points for Querrey on his serve .Mac --...

Whatever happens, Querrey will have a match point on his own delivery.

But he is one against the two-time defending champion, the number one

seed. Mr Querrey is challenging the call. Probably just to buy himself a

little extra time. It has been over a year since

anybody was able to beat tempter go. -- to be Djokovic at a major

championships. He has done it! Massive victory for

Sam Querrey, massive shock for Wimbledon.

There will be no Novak Djokovic in the second week at Wimbledon, it is

all about Sam Querrey. It is incredible, especially here, I

am so happy, that is about it! It is not just a matter of seeding, he

holds all the Grand Slams, he has not gone out in the third round

since 2009. How did you do it where others could not? I played the break

point is really well. Every time I had one, I came up with a big serve,

and in the end I thought in the tie-breaker and got a couple of his

errors, and that was it. A very happy Sam Querrey, it is 1091

days since Novak Djokovic lost here, it is staggering. It is momentous.

What went wrong? He was not himself, and Sam Querrey played well, he is a

good grass court player, and very uncomfortable to play against when

he is serving that well. Novak Djokovic had 12 break point in

that set, Querrey served seven aces. He won just one of the 12. A lot of

them were flat-out aces from Querrey. That can happen. Sometimes

you are unlucky, typically Novak Djokovic will find a way, but he was

not returning well. He was off, there is no doubt. Do you think

there was something wrong with him? He did not look healthy. He did not

look right. I don't know how much of it is nerves or if something is

going on that we don't know about. Today was about service and nerves,

Sam Querrey served amazingly well, and nerves were part of it. Novak

Djokovic was playing very careful behold tournament, going for his

shots much more in the French Open, with more pressure, but history got

to him, and maybe there was something wrong with his body as

well. But all credit to Sam Querrey, they both played their worst tennis

in the fourth set. Novak Djokovic needed to get fed

early. He had break points, he could not do it. His timing seemed to be

out, he was spraying balls long and wide, into the net, he was not

feeling it. It looked as if he could not get into the zone that we see so

many times with great champions. There was no flow, and even when you

felt he was starting to build momentum, it would go away. It is

not easy against somebody serving rockets, 31 aces, he was getting

less impact and aggression from his serve, but when we look at Novak

Djokovic, we say what a great return of serve he is, one of the best we

have seen, and even that was a bit off. Players need momentum over a

period of time, that is what he often does, and Andy Murray, you

start to read the serve and get rhythm on it. The rain delays did

not help. Djokovic was not getting points on the serve. Everything was

a bit off. These are the second serve placements, pretty safe. A

couple that he went for that went wide, but they are in the of

Querrey. Djokovic is not so comfortable at the net. When he goes

off, he can go off. He is so good at what he does, when his timing is not

right, he becomes a bit average. We have not seen it very often, but he

does not have a massive serve to rely on, getting into the net, or

the bluff. He has just had a bad day. When a player is having an off

day, normally you would expect him to pull the margins in a bit, but on

down the hatches, go for a bit more safety and when some of the longer

points, and that was not happening today. Normally that is good enough

against somebody like Sam Querrey, but it was an off day for him. The

biggest question is, why did he have an off day? This was asked at the

press conference, let's see the way he dealt with the questions.

You are 100% healthy? Not really, but it is not the place and time to

talk about it. The opponent was playing on a very high level. We saw

with the practising this morning, you did not seem to be yourself.

What was your thinking? I don't want to talk about it. Please respect

that. Thankfully I have a family and I have a life side of tennis, plenty

of things to look forward to. I will pay more attention to those things

than tennis in the next period, and I needed to, it has been a very

successful year so far, but very long and exhausting, in every sense.

I just need some rest. Maybe there is the key, I went to

that press conference, he was keen not to take anything away from Sam

Querrey, he said he was the better player, but maybe that is it, he has

won everything, he has had a long year. It is key related, he never

got away from the pressure. Getting into the Grand Slam, for in a row,

he never could relax. When he is off, he misses by a bit, but he

missed by so much, we are used to such precision, today he could not

find the court. It is key minute of pressure and attention, it never

leaves you until you retire. Even during the year you have some

relaxation time, but when you are on such a streak, you never get it.

What about Sam Querrey, he plays Nicolas Mahut next, the oldest first

time in the last 16 at Wimbledon, at 34. Can Sam Querrey go on? Quite

possibly. They are both good grass court players. Very dangerous, big

serves, they play similar. Looking at Querrey, the champions are

susceptible in the early part of the tournament. That is what happened

with Djokovic, he lost to a good player, who had a hot match.

Naturally, it is a from the French Open, he tried hard to win that, and

he was really wound up a lot during the clay-court season, and Rome and

other tournaments, and when he won it, he has come here and it has just

got to. It is a lot. It leaves a big gap in that drawer, could Milos

Raonic take advantage? He has just beaten Jack Sock.

Milos Raonic at the far end. That only just missed from Jack Sock.

Milos Raonic from Canada, with John McEnroe giving him some advice, but

not permanently, he served 27 aces, and he goes into the last 16. We

have had various stories of players who nearly retired but have come

back. The latest is John Millman of Australia, he is now into the top 70

again, he was the third round opponent for Andy Murray.

The world number two Andy Marie, a third outing on Centre Court, having

seen off his previous opponents there. He has not dropped a set. The

Australian John Millman almost gave up the game in 2014. Shoulder

surgery saw him miss 14 months, every which time he worked in

finance. Would he have enough in the bank to give Andy Murray some

interest? He has got the look of Peter Crouch

about him. Andy Murray went a break-up in the second set, only to

drop serve a at around the time the Novak Djokovic score came up.

He has already say -- saved a couple of break points in this game.

He has missed it. Mr Millman is challenging the call. He did a good

job of making himself appear bigger at the net and perhaps he was.

Another break point for Murray, he drew Millman to the net, that was

purely intentional. Millman a little unsure what to do at the net.

Millman will challenge. Andy is not happy that the umpire has given

Millman the chance to challenge. He felt as though it was too long in

coming, but he has another chance to break the Australian's serve.

He is just creating a highlight show for us.

85 mile an hour backhand, just as we pictured it!

He does just like that one layer at the net that the best players have,

they are so complete, so many ways to hurt you. Reluctant to make a

move towards the net. Break point number four.

The ground are world-class. He's hanging tough. Murray is bound to be

frustrated here because Millman is making him hit so many shots. When

it comes to Millman at the net use more of a handshake player, the only

time he wants to be at the net is shaking hands after the match. He's

not the first, he won't be the last. That's fantastic. A wry smile from

Jason. As he delivers a beautiful volley here, it must be said,

shortened the court, giving Murray no play on it. You see that? I can

volley! You're right, you are absolutely right.

Still has more work in front of him. Murray just gliding in. We know how

soft his hands are. He's going to need a bed at the changeover, not a

chair. Good-looking shot. He had a lot of

time to think about what to do with it as well. Didn't have a lot of

pace on it to work with. He ran out of resistance, did

Millman. What a game of tennis. Murray and his team delighted with

that, his advantage restored. He duly wrapped up the second set on

his serve. We join again at the beginning of

the third set. COMMENTATOR: Already brilliant

purpose. Once again he has gone out wide. Areola to do that now. --

Murray alert to that now. Millman just asking for

confirmation. The chair umpire not telling him it was clear enough to

be definitively out. Here comes the challenge. Should have seen that one

a little better. Mr Millman has two challenges remaining.

He's certainly decided to play the opening game of this third set

inside the baseline, Murray, hasn't he? Very aggressive core position

from the world number two. Millman takes a nice spill. Looks to

be OK. Murray seems determined not to engage in those 20 plus shot

rallies as Millman reaches for his right hip.

When he says the Argentinian, he had some horrible physical problems,

cramping on the court. At 5-0 he had to retire. Millman was the first to

offer him salt, tablets, everything else.

It's been a year of extremes in the majors, weather-wise so far.

Australia and Inferno in the first week of this year. -- Australia and

Inferno. Going to be a break point chance for

Murray here. Subtle brilliance from Murray

because he really managed to get plenty of pace on what was a very

low, awkward volley. Murray broke again and this is him

at 5-2, serving it out with his eighth ace of the match. It lasted

two hours and 11 minutes. Andy Murray marches on.

There were some tough moment at the end of the second set, the 5-5 game

was a really long game. Both of us had opportunities there and a lot of

long points, though physically it was testing at that period of the

match, managed to get through it. Third set I played some really good

stuff. Andy Murray into the fourth round where he will meet either

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga or Feliciano Lopez. Their match has just been

called off on Court One, it stands at 1-1 set, but light is fading.

There is still play on Court Two, they don't have so much of the

stadium, so fewer shadows to deal with. You can see John Isner is due-

one -- two set up against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Trying to break

serve to take that third set, looks like it's going to a tie-break.

Masses of people still on the hill watching the game. TV cameras make

it look lighter but it's very dark, difficult for them to see, they want

to try and get as much tennis played as they possibly can. What do we

think about the macro Murray was asked immediately after the match

about the impact of Djokovic being out. He said, I don't have to worry

about that until Sunday week. Well, Novak Djokovic going out of the

tournament I think is sad for the tournament because we love to see

the number one player, he's won so many Grand Slams in a row. There was

not one single player in the men's draw shedding a tear to night. Novak

Djokovic out of the tournament makes it a lot easier to win. Murray's

right, he'll worry about that later, taking it one match at a time. Deep

down all the guys will be going... In a macro Serena Williams losing in

the women, everybody thinks they have a chance. Novak... Everybody

thinks they have a chance and they do. The only tiny wobble was

roundabout that time the Djokovic score came up on the screens in the

centre, he doesn't miss most Andy Murray, you can see from the

reaction of his mother, Judy, how much of an impact it had, they all

knew what it meant. It brought a huge smile on her face, he was

definitely impacted, I think. He almost seemed to lose concentration

at that point, then became more animated, we saw him looking to his

support can quite a bit. I did enjoy watching Millman play, thought he

was fantastic, such a gritty, competitive. Great attitude. Someone

who loves life, takes the bull by the horns, the fact he'd had

shoulder surgery, being of the tour for a while, taken a city job, put a

suit on everyday for a period, then come back to tennis, you sense that

love of life, loving being on Centre Court and taking on the world number

two. He's made life very difficult for Andy. He is one of these guys

who has worked his way all the way through, he hasn't had any support

from the National Association because he wasn't a top junior, they

didn't throw money at him, coaches, he did it the hard way the whole

way. It's great to see him come through. He played really well, the

second set was a very tight second set. Murray's tennis in the third

set was phenomenal, the best I've seen him play by a long way in this

tournament. Not ever! This week, the best he's played this week,

fantastic. The bestie has played today!

Paddy Geary was keeping an eye on the courts and the skies. -- the

best he has played today. Even for London Wimbledon is pretty

congested, rain jammed the system and continues to cause tennis

tailbacks. Centre Court is the fast lane, that's when Simona Halep was,

the number five seed puts mind before muscle, placement trumps

power. She out thought Kiki Bertens over two sets. At five foot six,

Simona Halep knows she is unlikely to blast opponents from the court

but with a commanding performance here she may be manoeuvring herself

to a position of strength. The assumption was she would face the

number nine seed Madison Keys, a fair assumption given the way she

cruised through her first set. COMMENTATOR: Wonderful. The

Frenchwoman Alize Cornet was a top 20 player as a teenager and you

never lose it. She seized back the second, were we on for another

shock? Not if Marian Keyes has anything to do with it. She

re-entered the world top ten again. American tennis no longer reliant on

those with the name Williams. At last year's when the Angelique

Kerber saw of her fellow German Carina Witthoeft in less than half

an hour. The Australia in open champion won the first set on a

tie-break and the second with rather more ease. Perhaps she'll see

something of herself and her younger countryman. Reach in her younger

countryman will stop another German hope on Court 16 which unfortunately

has no roof. One big umbrella over this court. Wimbledon tends to bring

the best from her but she was ultimately outclassed on the grass

by the world number 96. COMMENTATOR: What a point.

So is looking beyond the seeds might have focused their attention is on

Eugenia Bouchard. The 19th seed was inspired. She confided in that took

her to the final here two years ago. Dominik is a book over's scale is to

be able to tell the origin of tennis balls by her scent. One of her

special skills. This stuff is more useful, can she is now the title? --

Dominika Cibulkova. This was simpler, all over in

straight sets. Radwanska is known as the professor. She learns from her

mistakes. - a smiling Agnieszka Radwanska, played really well there.

Juan Martin Del Potro, one of the stories of this Wimbledon for having

knocked out Stan Wawrinka, they've just come off court. That was the

score. I think Del Potro was 2-1 sets down. This matches on the red

button, they may be coming off for light. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has the

advantage, 4-2 ahead against John Isner, whose serve is difficult to

break. But a big crowd around that. Let's

reflect on two time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, one of the

few players who suffered because of rain delays. She had a second-round

match to complete. She was against bigotry and Rover. -- she was up

against Makarova. COMMENTATOR: She has to put pressure on Makarova,

it's just not happening. She has a history of losing matches she should

win. Quarterfinalist here a couple of years ago when she beat

Radwanska. And lost to Safarova. That was a case in point. She's

three points away from a huge win. Well played. Much simpler when the

first served goes in. The way she has been out here this afternoon and

yesterday, she's been fractionally better today than yesterday, you

wouldn't trust her to hit a barn door from five paces, would you?

These two serves could do the trick for Makarova.

There are the nerves. Six to four miles an hour. Reach 64. No velocity

all. There is the coach, she's seen it before. Maybe suspected it would

happen again. Just enough stability there. Here is

match point for Makarova. She's got it! A massive win.

APPLAUSE STUDIO: We will reflect on that

defeat for Petra Kvitova in a moment. The news from Court Two is

that Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has taken the third set, he won the tie-break,

though he is 2-1 down against John Isner, looks very much like they are

coming off for light. It's one of the bonus matches you will get

tomorrow. You'll also get good jobs against Lopez, which is 1-1. Del

Potro is indeed 2-1 down against Pouille. All of the tickets are

gone, they were applied for online and all went in half an hour. Crit

of is gone, discuss it. Not surprised, she's had a lousy year.

-- Petra Kvitova is gone. She's gone through personal troubles and

engaged to be married and broke it off, don't know what happened. And

broke up with her coach of a long time. Too many things going on for

her. I saw her in the locker room, she's going to take a mini vacation,

a few days, a week would be better. We'll see, she'll recover, I hope.

She's healthy so that's good. Hopefully she can get the game

together because when her game flows it's a beauty to watch, hope she

gets it back on course. There are only two women's champions left in

the draw, both called Williams. They both had very tough matches

yesterday but I have to say, yeah, so impressive is Venus Williams who

at 36 is back inside the top ten again, quite extraordinaire it when

you consider all the problems health-wise she had on the tour.

Absolutely loves being out there. Serena Williams looks fitter than

I'd ever seen her. Since the loss at the French Open it feels like she's

been out there putting working at the gym, on the track, she's turned

up here fully motivated and raring to go. Just a bit of extra zip in

her step. She had to dig deep for her last win. It took until three

8pm for the second round of the Men's Singles to be completed. It

finally was when 19-year-old Alex and at Zverev finished off Michal

Youzhny. -- Alexander Zverev. Zverev is the guy who knocked Roger Federer

out of Halle, he has a big following.

Unsubtle disguise lead to unsubtle schedules. The elements have played

tricks with time. When they had hoped to rest, some must work. Marin

Cilic may have banged on having a day off but the rain yesterday meant

he had to come back to finish off Lukas Lacko. More rain was looming.

He grabbed the set he needed quickly. Hitting 19 aces in the

match, all done before the inevitable return. Conditions were

the only thing holding up Kei Nishikori and company,

beat Andrey Kuznetsov at the French Open in straight sets, so again

here. He takes form into his meeting with Cilic. Could this be the

Nishikori story? In a week of being at the mercy of nature, another

hold-up from the skies on court 18. We're here for a bit of fun, are we?

Eventually the wagtail joined everybody else in watching the good

drop in full flight. In consumer style he took the first set. --

consumer style. American Steve Johnson recently won his first ATP

event on the grass at Nottingham. He won the next two sets, forcing the

match from Dimitrov's grasp. Johnson, the world number 29, was

dominant. He is true but must now square up against Federer.

Correction map he is through. We are now all examining the draw because

everybody is going, what's going to happen? Alexander Zverev, exciting

young player, is this a year he could go deep in the tournament?

Quite possibly, he maybe a little early at this stage, think about him

getting all the way through semifinals and finals, he's one of

the future. There are a few men who are there. You would almost say he's

a boy but he's 19, six foot six. Boy, does Deepak Narwal on the

shots, some exciting players. Dominic Thiem. -- boy, does he pack

a wallop. We are looking towards Thessaly. You wonder what happened

to Dimitrov. -- Vesely. John Lloyd was in the office, he says he

flatters to deceive, Dimitrov, looks brilliant but doesn't go through

with it. The first name through to the fourth round a good sit there

going I could have a weekend off, that was Roger Federer. How much

does all of this play into whose hands? I was thinking, does Roger

care? I'm not sure he does but certainly all his fans do, so they

are dancing a jig because now watch had, to me, a comfortable looking

draw towards the semifinal. Novak Djokovic, where he was going to be,

now he won't. This could be the year, who knows? It's a wide-open

field and Roger is looking better and better with each match. He was

lacking match experience going into this tournament, the last few months

he has been injured, most of the year. But now he's fresh, he's

healthy. Novak is out. What will Roger Federer do this weekend,

Annabel? He's always incredibly relaxed, isn't he? Some of the other

players Armitage Ellis about planning. I'm sure he's meticulous

but he has a family, they are travelling with him, he'll spend a

lot of time with his family. He'll put aside time on the practice court

and prepared. I'm sure there's a lot of treatment going on with his body.

As we know, he had that knee operation, the first operation he'd

ever had in his career. An extremely unfortunate situation. I think it

had a knock on effect, brought out an old back injury. He's played so

little tennis coming into these Championships, the least he must

have played in many years, six events before coming to Wimbledon.

It felt as if his movement was more cautious around the court, and I

felt like that last round against Dan Evans, he was just starting to

flow a little bit better and starting to trust his body that much

more. Then he'll kick into gear and all those memories he has out there,

it is domain on Centre Court, so many wonderful memories. Interesting

talking to down today, I said what was it like playing Federer on

Centre Court? He's a fantastic, you expect it him to serve well. His

returns were phenomenal, could not believe his returning. That's the

key, we know Roger will serve well. He's moving brilliantly. Returning.

That for me is the secret. We had a quick conversation about the women's

championship and where you think it stands. After we look at shot of the

day from Madison Keys in her match against Alize Cornet. Towards the

end of the match. It's a great rally. For power and accuracy,

Madison Keys up the far end. It's not that one, unfortunately. But it

was a great backhand down the line, we'll try to find it for you. It was

a big bomb and a big point. It was, that's a shame. Madison Keys? If I

gave you a short list... Disney four contenders for the women's title

outside Serena Williams. I was going to say Serena Williams. -- Disney

four contenders. Madison has a shotgun at her best she can content

with anybody. Agnieszka Radwanska must be feeling good about her

chances, getting into the semis. Might meet Serena Williams. Simona

Halep looked the best I've seen her look in a long time. I did an

interview with her, I asked, where you excited about all the athletes

sitting in the Royal box? She was. I think she was on her best behaviour

because you can't misbehave. She needs to be nicer to herself, she

knows that, if she can keep her head like she did today, she moves so

well, she knows what he needs to do. Outside chance perhaps. It could be

her time. She has plenty experience, she seems mature on court, can

follow through if she has too. Thanks so much for your company,

Annabel Croft, Pat Cash, Martina Navratilova. You can join Sue Barker

from 11:15am on BBC Two, coverage on BBC One as well, as Wimbledon enjoys

a People's Sunday for the first time in 12 years. A lot of strange things

have been happening at this year's Championships, non-so strange as the

departure of the defending champion. Good night. Gretchen

This is as good as it gets right here -

open roads, blue skies, one of history's most iconic muscle cars.
