Day 7 Highlights Today at Wimbledon

# Monday Monday. # I don't like Mondays. The round of

16, the second Monday, Magic. Coming up on Today at Wimbledon,

Murray faces the chaos created by Nick Kyrgios, Serena centres her

mind on Svetlana, and we will bring you the best of the busiest day of

top-class action. It doesn't happen at any other Grand Slam, the last 16

men, the last 16 win an all in action today, leading to one of the

best days in sport. It is also July the 4th, and so we have an all

American panel, John McEnroe and Tracy Austin with me to discuss the

stories. Welcome to both. Happy July the 4th. And commiserations. For

what? For losing us. I am so pleased you are with us. At least we have

you on the BBC. And we are going to start with what the Americans would

bill as the popcorn match on Centre Court, the 2013 Wimbledon champion

and second seed against the entertainer of the modern era,

Australia's Nick Kyrgios. The world number two soph Australian John

Milner last time out and has not dropped a set on his way to the

fourth round. But to progress to the last eight, he would have to

overcome another Aussie, Nick Kyrgios. The 15th seed was a

Wimbledon quarterfinalist in 2014 and looked at his brilliant best to

beat Feliciano Lopez yesterday. He and Mary might be rivals today but

of court there is definitely a bromance brewing. He is a very

relaxed guy. He winds me up all the time. Sometimes he has not done a

lot wrong and he has got a rough ride. It is not really fair on him.

It was love at first sight. Nick Kyrgios was so relaxed, he actually

prepared for it by watching Lleyton Hewitt, his Australian Davis Cup

captain and mentor. And that is Lleyton Hewitt's little boy there,

looking at things on the phone. When the match started in front of a

packed crowd on Centre Court, there were lovely touches from both

players, would Nick Kyrgios is trying to drop shot Murray, playing

him at his own game. And as usual, Murray with the perfected lob. He

really does play that shot so well. And it looked like it would become

the match that we had hoped for. We will pick it up in that first set.

At 5-6. With Nick Kyrgios serving. John McEnroe in the commentary box

alongside John Inverdale. JOHN INVERDALE: Is this when Marie

ups the anti-? Of course every top player senses vulnerability. A

player feeling pressure. Of course at the end of the set it is only

natural that will happen. He had a chance there and he took it. That is

a spectacular pass. But Nick Kyrgios, why did he hit an approach

like that, giving him time to line that up? Murray says thank you very

much. He needs some big serves here now.

That is such a shard play -- Sharp play by Murray. The first time the

questions were asked of Kyrgios, Murray makes him play like that. And

here we are. Almost unforeseen, Andy Murray three points for the first

set. UMPIRE: Mr Murray is challenging the

call. Ball called in. That was long a share. -- long -ish but it was

good -ish. Completely unplayable, saving one break point.

The first set goes to Murray. Two set point saved by Nick Kyrgios but

not the third. Murray took it 7-5. The second set was interesting.

Let's join it early. Kyrgios serving.

JOHN INVERDALE: Murray, very disciplined at the moment. An ace

from Kyrgios at 109mph. That is almost him pushing it. JOHN MCENROE:

And now a second serve. We can see a lack of discipline

there because he should have taken the volley. But I'm letting it drop,

it allowed Murray time to get to it. He could have got to that in the

air. He does not have to play the shot like that. He not have to. That

goes without saying. But still worth seeing. And he did not have to do

that either. And that is a real shriek of frustration from Kyrgios

because he knows he has been the architect of his own downfall here.

And the other Australians still in the tournament is at 7-7 in the

fifth set at the moment. Lucas Pouille his opponent. It looks as if

Kyrgios is on the edge of disaster. Bernard Tomic is playing Lucas

Pouille. That match has been swinging this way and bad for the

last three and a half hours. And break point for Andy Murray, which

could be very, very influential in deciding the outcome of this match.

That early break of serve almost seemed to break Kyrgios' heart. It

certainly brokers concentration. Murray was on his game. That 124mph

ace saw him wrap up the second set in 28 minutes. He took it 6-1. Early

in the third, Kyrgios is about to serve.

Here he and again it is not the right idea, it is just executing

them too short. -- when Kyrgios has been in a hall,

his service has documented of it. But then he does that. That is what

happened at the end of the first set. And this might be handing the

match to Andy Murray on our plate. Three break points.

Insurer needs of those big serves no. Murray is calmness personified.

That is better from Raonic. Or from Kyrgios. I was looking at you as I

said that. He figured out a way back. It certainly does not look

likely for Kyrgios. It does not look like he's going to make it to seven

o'clock right now. The first time Andy Murray has let out a shriek.

And that was that. Murray's eighth ace of the match clinched victory

and earned him a place in the quarterfinals for a ninth year in a

row and also gave him his 50th win at Wimbledon. Was that much more

comfortable than you imagined two the second set was. The first set

was very tight. I managed to get the break at 6-5, but it was a very

tight up to that point. The second set was more comfortable. Nick lost

focus in the middle part of that said, which made it more easy. But

the third set, again he served a high percentage. I was able to get

the ball back in play, and I was able to dictate a lot of the rallies

and get an early break, which was big. I was really comfortable out

there in the first set and I thought I was playing some good tennis. I

believed I could win the match and then as soon as I lost the first

set, I lost belief. I was a little soft, still. When things get tough,

I am soft. I have got the experience but ultimately it comes down to

laying it out there and competing. And they did not do that today at

all. He spent longer with you at the net at the end of the match then he

would normally, do you think? He said sorry and I said, OK. Just win

the tournament, please. And then we hugged. Nick Kyrgios being pretty

brutal in his own self-assessment. A lot of people disappointed with his

performance, but let's talk about Andy Murray and the way that he

played and the match plan he had and how he executed it. Well, I think he

is extremely well-prepared and he is playing better than anyone in a

tournament right now. He knows that Kyrgios is a bit soft and to some

extent we did not seek another that today, but make no mistake, Murray's

movement is very intimidating. He played at a higher level. The first

set was close but you have to anticipate that if you are playing a

guy that good. When things get tight, he will step up, like Murray

did. Is anticipation has always been good. He finds the angle is very

good. -- he finds the angles beautifully. Of course it does but

Kyrgios did not do enough with balls where he needed to do damage. Murray

just toyed with him with the drop shots. Nick Kyrgios acted like he

thought that Murray had never hit a drop shot before. That was

absolutely the right play because Kyrgios back that a little bit.

Murray played well. Disappointment big-time, as a fan of tennis and as

a player, as someone who hopes to find Kyrgios coming into his own.

This bit of analysis, Tracy, you will find fascinating. It is the

Hawk-Eye Read on where Murray was hitting his shot during a rally. So

much variety. He has the slices, the change of pace, the depth. As John

said, he uses so many drop shots, to draw Nick Kyrgios in, but not on his

own terms. Nick got very frustrated today, and at least he called

himself on it, but at this stage of Wimbledon, you cannot just go away.

You have to dig a little deeper. He has so much talent, the talent is

obvious, and almost every player in this tournament would love to have

as much talent as he does. I wonder how much passion he has for the

game. Is he afraid to put it on the line? It did not look like it hurt

him. I don't know about you but when we lost, it hurts for days and it

does not look like it bothered him that much. You are hitting the nail

on the head. It has a feel of failure but his way of dealing with

that, for example, how many players go out there to prepare for a round

of 16 match of Wimbledon and watch Lleyton Hewitt play doubles? Is that

any type of preparation? Or to play video games, like he said in the

press conference. Are you kidding? He even called himself pathetic in

the second and third sets. And it is almost upset, -- upsetting for you

because you know how good he could be. And more importantly, the only

time I really get down on players when I do commentary is when I see

them throw the towel. Is Wimbledon. I mean how much of a better chance

do you have to play a match and step up and get respect? That is where

people are just befuddled. Why is he doing this? And we expected a tight

match. If it was not going to be a tight match, at least put in the

best effort. Discipline is what he needs to find. We have spoken about

his maturity because he has had some incidents, but he needs to look

across the net and look at Andy Murray. Andy Murray crosses his teas

and dots his 'i's, Raonic, your guy, he has added a third coach to add

another level. Nick needs to do that. I don't think he has a coach.

Lleyton Hewitt part-time but not a real coach. There are plenty of

people lined up to do it but obviously Nick needs to find himself

and look in the mirror, and look at players like Andy Murray. Let's move

to a player who never lacks motivation. Yesterday she registered

her 300 Grand Slam win and she is also celebrating a 300 week at

number one this week, not consecutively but overrule. Serena

Williams today faces an opponent she knows very well, Svetlana

Kuznetsova. We have seen two sides of Serena Williams this tournament.

The tense, anxious, unstable, angry Serena, taken to 3 cents last Friday

by Christina McHale. And the cool, collected, convincing Serena, who

dismissed Annika Beck yesterday. Which side of Serena would turn up

against Svetlana Kuznetsova? The Russian is one of very few people to

have beaten her three times. She is a two-time Grand Slam champion and

would not be overawed by the setting. Or the status of her

opponent. It was a very close and competitive first set of tennis. The

players exchanged breaks of serve. Kuznetsova never let her head get

down even though she had gone down early. And both of them, the timing

was pretty good with good movement as well. They have played 12 times

with nine wins for Williams and 34 Kuznetsova. This was always going to

be a good match. We join it at four games all in the first set.

Commentary from Sam Smith and Lindsey Davenport.

That last forehand, 83 miles an hour. Talk about an average.

Again, the second serve, an important part of Serena's game.

Kuznetsova is able to put some pressure on Serena with that return.

Kuznetsova had a forehand early on that rally where she had some time

but she was passive on it and Serena was able to take control of the

rally. On this surface, if you get a shot and you have time against

Serena, you have got to play some offence against her.

Kuznetsova does have the ability to put Serena in some awkward places on

the court. It's long. And Williams is just

starting to fret. Oh dear. Kuznetsova breaks in

strange circumstances. The rain is coming down. And it will be the

Russian who will serve for this first set. But what drama on Centre

Court. Aware of a -- be wary of a fired up

Serena. The variety of Kuznetsova has thrown

Williams off her game. Low slices, eyeballs, and she has her rhythm. --

high balls. Another double fault. Serving on

grass against one of the greatest of all times, you have to believe. You

have got to go for your shots. Kuznetsova does not believe right

now. Playing a little too passively, trying to close out this first set.

All square on centre. Serena responding to her serve being

broken by breaking back straightaway. Here she is in

conversation with the umpire. The tournament referee came out and

eventually the players went off. The roof was closed. And we join it as

the match resumed. Serena went on to take that first set 7-5. Let's join

it with Kuznetsova serving at the start of the second.

I feel like the power of the Serena game, whether it is the server or

the ground strokes, is too tough to defend against in this indoor court.

It plays fast because of the grass. It is even more perfect for a big

hitter in these types of conditions. Roger Federer loves it. And so does

Serena, when the roof is closed. It is really different. The air is

thick, and more humid, and you are able to hit the ball so cleanly. It

just sounds different. Everything is getting away from

Kuznetsova now. It is all going away from the

Russian now. Sam Smith predicted it and she was right. It was one way

traffic. When the roof closed, Serena became so much more

comfortable and stable. And Kuznetsova could not win another

game. Serena with three match points on the Kuznetsova serve. Takes it

straightaway. The score, 7-5, 6-0, and she spoke afterwards about the

difficulty of playing on a greasy surface.

And we will hear from her in a moment. But Tracey, just a match of

two completely different halves. When Serena slipped, clearly she was

finding it difficult out there. The way she landed, her feet can

sometimes go away from her. That is when she got broken, to go down 5-4

and Svetlana were not able -- was not able to hold. Serena asked if

they could go off the court. And then it was never the same match

again. The first ten games, Svetlana was doing a incredible job of

playing smartly, mixing it up, with slices that were deep, slices that

were short, jerking Serena around, and she was not getting in a good

rhythm. Kuznetsova, she has beaten Serena three times, in the Miami

fourth round this year. She was not going to be overwhelmed by Serena.

But once they came back, Serena never lost another game. And she

looked like a completely different player. She said it was fortunate

for them to go off and talk to their coaches. Fortunate for Serena

because Patrick had some good ideas and she changed again and started to

attack the second serve. And she was spot on, this was the best she has

looked at this tournament. And it is also good to be flexible. To do the

splits like that and still be able to walk?! Impressive to be flexible,

and strong, a lethal combination. Kuznetsova, I like her a lot and she

will be in the hollow thing but I do not think she has ever been that

comfortable on this surface. She played a long, tough match against

Stevens. I'm not sure how much she had left in the tank after she lost

the first set. Serena, her game is so much more impactful, and you

pointed out the second serve, it is pretty vulnerable. Kuznetsova and

Serena start going after it. Whatever Serena does, it creates

headlines and today, the story was what she said to the umpire when she

wanted to come off court. Have a watch of this.

You are the second player in the tournament to threaten to Sue over

the rain coming down and play continuing. Do you think the

tournament is taking seriously the welfare of the players when it comes

to the rain and taking them off and back again? Yes, they are doing a

great job with that. Threatening a lawsuit is quite an extreme measure.

You guys, don't even try me like that. I was in the moment, I was on

the court. And what I say on the court, whether it is smashing my

racket or it is in the heat of the moment, I have no plans, no future

of suing Wimbledon. Let's get serious, that is not what I do, that

is not what I'm. The trouble is, that is what she

said. Ascot this guy coming he has been in the moment before! At think

a lot of times, I have got into with players and fans and umpires and

anybody else who wanted a piece of me so I can relate to what Serena

says. What happens on the pitch, in the field, on the tennis court is

different from when you have a chance to count to ten and speak to

family members, get some common sense, perspective. Not so heated up

from the match and you start to think sensibly. It is scary when you

start to fall because it doesn't take much rain. Just a little miss

and it becomes very slippery. The problem now is not rain, it is

light. On Court three, the people on Henman Hill watching the match. It

is Jiri Vesely against Tomas Berdych for a place in the quarterfinals.

Tomas Berdych has served for the match, it is match point against. He

has broken the serve of Jiri Vesely and he has now got his third match

point. We can stay with it. I'm not sure we are allowed to point out who

the winner of this matchplay is, do we know that yet? Have we shown that

yet? I don't think we have done. Don't say it, then! It is a good

opportunity for the winner. Can we say who it is between? No! The

suspense is building. Tomas Berdych a runner up here a couple of years

ago. Jiri Vesely beat Novak Djokovic in Monte Carlo. That match is online

and we will keep you up-to-date between now and the end of the

programme because it may or may not finish before we go away. Without

giving anything away, this was the match of the championship so far.

Third seed Agnieszka Radwanska, runner up here previously, against

Dominika Cibulkova who has won more matches this year than any other

player, it was sensational tennis from the beginning to the end,

incredible rallies. This is match point in the second set, so a lot of

more match to go. Absolutely, took the first set and she had match

point. Radwanska saved three match points and she forced it into a

decider which was a thriller. It was Radwanska's turn to have match point

and she could not convert so this is 7-7 and commentary is from James

Burridge and Tracy. She has done it again! Down, but not

out yet! Just improvises so well. Whatever she needs to do to get that

ball back in play. Flexibility. Just got so low. Even Agnieszka

Radwanska could not scoop that one back.

She did not really need to go for that shot. I wonder if the teat is

setting in for both players. These are sprints, two hours and 49

minutes. Cibulkova not bouncing around quite as much as she was.

Just incessant jumping. There it goes!

What a time for a double. Her second of the match. The forearm is

tightening. Her mind is going crazy. What is it like for the coaches

watching? Yes! The perfect point from

Cibulkova, always looking for the forehand. Dictating from the inside,

out. Fantastic for work. Another break point. -- footwork. She has

had so many over the course of this match. Agnieszka Radwanska, once

again, that first serve. Variety in this lady's game, look at the break

point is saved. 15 break point is saved. 21 altogether, Radwanska has

faced. But one more on the list. The return serve. Rifled right back down

at her feet. Like she is gasping for air here, Cibulkova.

She is getting there! What fabulous, fabulous light from these two

players. CLARE BALDING: Cibulkova served for

the match for the third time for a place in the quarterfinals for the

third time in her career but this was a battle royale in this rally.

Tracy, you must have been gasping. It is absolutely incredible rallies

they had because neither has a knockout punch with the burden --

with the big serve so they both have to work it. Cibulkova went for

bigger winners and it was Radwanska with her craftiness and different

types of spin. And watch this! That is ready good for a girl that is

five at one! Five foot three! They had play for two hours 54 minutes

when that rally happens. She gets warned here about taking too much

time. She got a warning in the beginning of the first set and two

other times got her first serve taken away for taking too much time.

But finally, after three hours exactly, Cibulkova closed it out and

her fiance giving her a hug. 9-7 in the third. And the third seed

Agnieszka Radwanska is out. It is getting very tough. Especially

physically for me because to get in the second week of a Grand Slam is

always very tough physically and mentally. And today, I just felt

that I was physically going really for my 100% and I felt like I could

not give more on the court. So today, I think eating through was a

great game and just my fighting experience because without that, I

would not win today. -- getting She is a lesson of never giving up,

she is sensational. She is and that is my match of the tournament so

far. Her 56th winner, brave when she needed to be. She is getting married

on Saturday, she might have to change our plans. You saw him with

the beard, he was courtside for some of the match and he went back to the

stands. He was afraid to look! How could they set the wedding. Today?

She did not think she played well on grass but she was the winner in

Eastbourne and is on a nine match winning streak on grass and if she

wins tomorrow, she will postpone the wedding day. I'm sure that will cost

money but if she gets to the final, she will have a lot of money to do

that. I think the person to call Nick Kyrgios is Dominika Cibulkova

as far as competing 100%. It was wonderful and you watch these

rallies again and again and the shotmaking within them, they don't

just bludgeon the ball, it is their athleticism and energy and fitness

and thinking under pressure. Yes, I always say Radwanska has the highest

tennis IQ in women's tennis because she doesn't have the ability to win

it with one big shot, she has to out manoeuvre her opponent with angles

and slices. She comes forward. She has come forward over 100 times in

this tournament so far, Radwanska. I'm amazed how offensive Cibulkova

is at five but one! -- five foot one. This was three

hours and the crowd was so appreciative. It is not a ticketed

match so anybody coming in, they chose the right match! Court three

got the best of the day because they still have a match, Tomas Berdych

against Jiri Vesely which has gone to a fourth set tie-break. Berdych

had three break points, he could not win at 0-40 and is 2-1 up. If this

goes the way of Jiri Vesely, it goes to a decider. Jiri Vesely had a

bunch of set point so this has been a seesaw battle. Berdych has been

complaining about the light. Understandably, it is late, but that

is stress. These guys, they are not finished yet. One match that has

stopped at 13-13 in third set is the doubles match featuring Jamie Murray

and Bruno Soares against Mate Pavic and Venus. 13-13 and going to the

best of five. Why have they stopped and Vesely and two -- and Tomas

Berdych are still playing? They could stop it now. That is not a

very good idea at all! Berdych was down three -- zero and 5-1. It could

have been 6-3 so it is amazing he is still in this. People but does

people have been going crazy and I have a hard time not looking

grounds. We will give you news of the other women through to the

quarterfinals. We could two opens with a relentless

rhythm. Wimbledon's pulse quickened and the pressure surges. Smyrna

Halep beat Madison Keys. Simona Halep had control and she served to

win it but the chance sailed away from her.

It is in! In the tie-break, it was seized by Madison Keys. The heat was

on Simona Halep but this was a counterpunch and she took it on the

chin and she hit back. The match level, it was on the third and in

the intensity, Madison Keys buckled and Halep pounced on her weakness.

But in the quarterfinals, there is Angelique Kerber. The Australian

Open winner this year and the fourth seed, quietly and methodically, she

set about this game. Against Misaki Doi. And nobody ranked higher than

in the week her best and between her and the final.

Ekaterina Makarova knew her fourth round opponent Elena Vesnina well,

they are doubles opponent is. Ekaterina Makarova use the

familiarity to her advantage in the first set but it went wrong for the

world number 35. Elena Vesnina struck back in the second. Makarova

input out Petra Witte was missing. -- Petra Witte by. One she had

reached her first Wimbledon quarterfinal, they could be friends

again. Underestimate Yaroslava Shvedova at your peril, she had

beaten her opponent three times before this and she knew where to

put it. Number 28 seed is out, everything is right in the world of

Yaroslava Shvedova. A quarter of the last 16 women were from the USA,

American pride on Independence Day. This player was running through

brackets and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova was getting through

games -- rackets. She has just given her racket to a child on the front

row! But the Coco Vandeweghe extended to the match. He wanted to

salute an American institution and Court Number One was the place to be

to see Venus Williams. Into your 19th, at Juhasz seen it all. Being

down to Carla Suarez Navarro did not trouble her and she used her craft

and guile to negotiate the first set to a tie-break. The Spanish woman's

challenge ended there and Venus has an aura that can make recovery seem

impossible. At 36, she is still competitive.

She is the oldest player since Martina Navratilova in 1984 and she

reached the final that year. 1994, she lost the Conchita Martinez. So

it is not impossible Venus could reach the final. If you look at the

quarterfinal draw, Serena Williams and Venus indifferent parts of the

draw and the could face each other in the final as they had before. The

reach of Venus is incredible. It is and she loves to play on the

surface, winning here five times before. Back into the top ten. And

she has played well and built her way through the tournament and had a

couple of 3-set matches and the rain delays have got her. Remember, she

was up when the rain came in her former game and that was exhausting

hanging around. She has played doubles with Serena and they are

playing in Rio so they want to get some matches under their belt. Look

at Venus, she is in the bottom half of the draw. Can I say so now? Yes,

we have seen all the women's matches and we can show you the quarterfinal

draw. This is at good opportunity. Simona Halep has been in the

quarterfinals and Angelique Kerber. And that is able very winnable match

against Yaroslava Shvedova. She is the only one who has not dropped a

set, she is playing well. Angelique Kerber will be the favourite against

Venus even though she has won this five times at this stage of their

careers. Simona Halep is playing the best she has played all year and

Kerber was the winner of the Australian but as Venus, as long as

she plays Wimbledon, she will not get a better chance to get to a

final. And she absolutely is thinking of doing that, and they

will be thrilled to be in different halves of the draw. I can't believe

they are still playing on Court number three in the fourth set

tie-break. Can I have an update? 9-9 in the tie-break right now. His head

was turned the entire time! They are stuck and they have the finish which

is sad because it is dark now. Not as dark as it was in the Rafael

Nadal and Federer final. Not so sure, it is close. It is overcast.

This is Craig Lee just crazy, there have been numerous set points and

break points. One of these guys is going to be mighty upset -- this is

crazy. If Tomas Berdych wins at committee wins the match. Serena is

trying to match a record of Steffi Graf and Roger Federer is trying to

set one of his own because if he wins Wimbledon for an eighth time,

he has the outright record. John, you were watching him in action

today. He was up against a big server with a big forehand, Steve

Johnson. How did you think Federer looked? Better than he has looked

the entire year. Steve Johnson has never been in a round of 16 of any

Grand Slam. He was a bit overwhelmed and Roger was sharp and moving

forward nicely. That was one of the shots of the day. He meant to do

that. He was never really stretched. He has never been pressured so far

in this tournament. So guess what? A lot left in the tank. In the last

three rounds. Novak Djokovic losing, Federer's eyes have lit up white

now. Because I have to tell you something, Novak Djokovic stopped

him winning Grand Slams and now he thinks he doesn't have to deal with

this guy. He was the winner in the end. Finished it with an ace and

with that win, he equalled the record of Martina Navratilova of 306

Grand Slam wins. The update from court three is that Jiri Vesely has

won the tie-break so he will take it into a deciding set. This is the end

of the tie-break. Will they play the best? Funnily enough, no, they are

not! They will return tomorrow. That match will be added to the order of

play. Unless there is heavy rain. Tomas Berdych is asking, why can we

not play on centre? That would be a fair solution. He is going to ask.

That is a good question. That is what the roof is for and it would be

cool because the winner could then rest for tomorrow. While they are

one, they might as well finish. I agree, it would be fantastic to play

the third set. I have never seen Jiri Vesely more emotional and using

the crowd to help. He is tricky on the grass. Berdych blew a lot of

chances so he will be an angry man if this goes overnight. I wonder if

they have got covers on Centre Court yet. I'm sure they can remove them.

Yes, we will find a way to do that. They can play until half past ten.

11 o'clock, I think. News on the other men in action today, this is

Paddy. Sam Querrey, the American boy who

brought down the King. How do you follow beating Novak Djokovic? By

taking on Nicolas Mahut in the fourth round. Some might be lost in

the euphoria, not quarry. He was measured, superbly so. It clips the

line. It is like a bowling shot. Straight sets, his Wimbledon is

about more than one match. Marin Cilic and Kei Nishikori have

history, not good for the Japanese man. Marin Cilic won the 2014 US

Open final in straight sets and took the first-tier little more than

quarter of an hour. What a point! Kei Nishikori was not right, injury

disrupted his preparations for the tournament. The second set was not

over when the fifth seed's Wimbledon ended in agony. Two Frenchmen who go

back a long way that on Court One. Richard Gasquet and Jo-Wilfried

Tsonga play together as children and this was a brief catch-up. Gasquet's

back gave way in the first set. Much over, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga knew what

Gasquet was going through and he offered to share the burden.

Bernhard Tomic show last made the quarterfinals five years ago but

after wheezing the first set the Lucas Pouille, he seemed back on

course. -- losing. He is something special. Leading 2-1 against a man

who only won his taller match on grass lust week for the first time.

Fought back to win in five for the first time -- tour match. Hopefully

be all Asian trumps the exhaustion will stop it is easy to be daunted

by playing big Milos Raonic and David Goffin did not seem bothered,

storming to the first two sets of their match. Raonic is known for the

thumping serves and beaming baselines and he can change the

rhythm. And play the game in a minor key, winning the third and fourth

sets. Maybe it is the John McEnroe influence because Raonic is growing

on grass. He got a scare but he survived and thrived. After losing

the final at Queen's, he has spoken of wanting a rematch with Andy

Murray. Could that happen on Centre Court on Sunday?

You could not stay to watch the entire match because you had to

commentate on Andy Murray, which must have been interesting as you

were following the score and saw he had gone two sets down. Murray and

Nick Kyrgios was the most interesting match on paper but I

must admit I was glancing at the monitor to see Raonic and I'm proud

of him. David Goffin was in playing -- was playing incredible tennis and

out hitting Raonic which was unexpected. Milos started to play

the match on his terms and take it to David Goffin and get his match

together. This is big because he has never come back from two sets down.

That is H Mendis shot and big moment and he hit big backhand shot. That

was the minute -- that was to win the match and that was the key. Come

on, Milos, be happy. You did it, you are in the quarterfinals. That was a

tough customer he played in David Goffin. Have you told him yet you

are really proud of him? I have told him and hopefully he has more to go.

I'm proud of Sam Querrey that he has turned his career around. Opening

the door for other players including himself was top but Raonic and Sam

Querrey in the quarterfinals. So often, you see a player pulling off

a big upset and losing the next game. But he did not. Just a word on

the two withdrawals from injury, Richard Gasquet and Kei Nishikori,

such a shame. Kei Nishikori had a rib injury a couple of weeks ago and

he thought it was better and it came up again. Richard Gasquet was a bad

back. He has had a history of a bad back. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga played

19-17 in the fifth. Maybe you could take some pain medication or

something. It is over now and he can't go back to it! This is the

draw. Next up for Sam Querrey, it is John's man, Milos Raonic. The match

to be finished, Tomas Berdych against Jiri Vesely and confirmation

that will not be completed on Centre Court, they will pick up tomorrow.

Lucas Pouille goes through and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga against Andy

Murray, what are your thoughts? It is a the Mendis opportunity for Sam

Querrey and Milos. Federer's eyes lit up. And I think Marin Cilic is

ready to make a move, he beat Roger Federer at the Open and he knows

what it feels like to pick up that trophy. Lucas Pouille has never been

here. He had not won a match on grass until last week. He is tricky,

competitive. 22 years old. You have to look at that situation down below

and I would be surprised if a guy either name of I think it is Murray,

Andy, would not make it to the final! This is the shot of the day,

we have two of them. So first, we will give you Serena

Williams who played fabulous tennis against Svetlana Kuznetsova and just

getting her rackets to that. And the return from Roger Federer that had

so much size, it virtually bounced back over the net. Outfit of the day

goes to strawberries and cream, it is wonderful if you came here on

public transport! Please tell me he did not do that! I bet he did! It

has been a great day of tennis and this is coming up tomorrow. Tomas

Berdych and Jiri Vesely is still to be completed. But on Centre Court,

it starts with its seed Simona Halep against Angelique Kerber the

Australian Open winner. Followed by Serena Williams against Russian

player Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Venus is on Court One and she opens

up against Yaroslava Shvedova, followed up by Dominika Cibulkova

who came through the word format against Agnieszka Radwanska and she

plays Elena Vesnina. Do watch tonight in documentary called Just

Call Me Martina on BBC One. Very revealing. It is on later in

Scotland and Wales. And last night's documentary on Serena is still

available, very good. If you let the show end, we can get back to it! He

is such a bully sometimes! And then he laughs. And he is so charming,

exactly! So details on everything that is happening. We will be on

earlier tonight and John will not be with us, I'm very upset to say that!

He has 17 other jobs. At the start of the day, 16 men and 16 women

started out with hopes of winning the title and half of them have now

gone home, but one man gets to sleep in his own bed and he will sleep

well!
