:00:17. > :00:25.We are going to take you over to Wimbledon... Her Majesty will
:00:26. > :00:44.present the trophy. That is brilliant. Irresistible. Majestic.
:00:45. > :00:51.Such is the enormous appeal of Roger Federer that there is a bigger crowd
:00:52. > :00:56.around him practising than most matches. We've got fans from China,
:00:57. > :01:02.Philippines, as well as the UK. The king of Wimbledon. His match will be
:01:03. > :01:09.featured today. Here's what's coming up. Novak Djokovic has been in
:01:10. > :01:14.strange form after completing his career Grand Slam at the French
:01:15. > :01:20.Open. He's now got Andre Agassi to help his focus. We will see the best
:01:21. > :01:27.of a home-grown battle between Kyle Edmund and Alex Ward. For
:01:28. > :01:32.entertainment, look no further than Gael Monfils.
:01:33. > :01:44.This is the scene at Wimbledon from our position in the presentation
:01:45. > :01:48.base. The crowd are watching the end of the Kuznetsova match. The play on
:01:49. > :01:52.the other courts finished earlier than expected so we've got time to
:01:53. > :01:59.round everything up in the company of Pat Cash and Martina Navratilova,
:02:00. > :02:07.who between them have 16. I've only got one. But between you, you've got
:02:08. > :02:11.16! We've got one hour to get across everything and we will start with
:02:12. > :02:12.the man who has won the men's singles twice in the last three
:02:13. > :02:20.years. Novak Djokovic had an early exit
:02:21. > :02:27.last year in the third round and has been missing in action for over a
:02:28. > :02:31.year. For the first time since 2010 he has no current Grand Slam to his
:02:32. > :02:37.name. He went to Eastbourne to get a feel for the grass and he won it. He
:02:38. > :02:45.was up against Martin Klizan on Centre Court.
:02:46. > :02:52.Klizan showed some early promise. Lovely touch.
:02:53. > :03:02.But it seemed that was possibly the one shot that was going to work.
:03:03. > :03:39.Let's pick up commentary. Klizan is serving at 3-4.
:03:40. > :03:44.It does not look to me like he's going to make it to the end of this
:03:45. > :04:11.match. Where is that balance between being
:04:12. > :04:14.a family man in your 30s but still committing the way that you need to
:04:15. > :04:20.commit to be the Robert Halfon? I wish I had a better answer -- being
:04:21. > :04:23.the world number one. I wish I had known how to do that in my late 20s
:04:24. > :04:31.as well as 30s. That dropped in. It is a shame for those who were
:04:32. > :05:11.hoping they would be entertained. It makes what Roger Federer has done
:05:12. > :05:14.all the more amazing. Four kids, loving travel, loving everything
:05:15. > :05:18.about it. I was told he would sleep in the kids bedroom. If he can do
:05:19. > :05:32.that as well? Not sleep and win? It is nicely played. The drop shot
:05:33. > :05:41.is being used as a life belt by Martin Klizan to good effect. It's a
:05:42. > :05:55.shot he does like to use. But he's really going to it quite a bit.
:05:56. > :06:08.Get the feeling Novak Djokovic is getting slightly annoyed about this
:06:09. > :06:30.time, that this has not gone his way yet.
:06:31. > :06:51.He just hit an absolutely gorgeous shot up the line. You just feel that
:06:52. > :06:54.it's a matter of time. Don't think it will take too long for him to
:06:55. > :07:17.just get to where he wants to be. Every time Klizan put any pressure
:07:18. > :07:45.on that left calf, he unfolds himself very gingerly.
:07:46. > :07:54.Klizan is challenging the call. The right service line. The ball was
:07:55. > :07:59.called out. He is really struggling and he's looking to Hawk-Eye for a
:08:00. > :08:11.little bit of salvation. He won't find it on this occasion.
:08:12. > :08:21.And indeed Djokovic took the set with an ace. Prior to it you will
:08:22. > :08:25.have heard of his injury, he had retired with a calf injury. He
:08:26. > :08:29.seemed to be feeling it again, he had been very ginger on court
:08:30. > :08:34.commonly called for the physio, he looked in a lot of pain.
:08:35. > :08:41.Having dropped that first set he was down in the second, trying to nick
:08:42. > :08:50.one but he could not run for anything. Eventually, he threw in
:08:51. > :08:55.the towel. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Klizan cannot continue and has
:08:56. > :08:59.retired. Only a short outing on Centre Court for Novak Djokovic but
:09:00. > :09:04.he's happy to get his campaign under way. I wish that I could maybe play
:09:05. > :09:10.a bit longer on Centre Court but I've played enough and I'm feeling
:09:11. > :09:17.well on the grass, and I think I was focusing more on myself and the
:09:18. > :09:23.entire impression of being in the Centre Court again, which is very
:09:24. > :09:35.special in my career and my life. The tradition, the history around it
:09:36. > :09:40.is part of the Wimbledon atmosphere. You cannot not feel it so it was
:09:41. > :09:45.enjoyable to spend some time there. How are you right now, mentally? Is
:09:46. > :09:56.the engine restarting? In the last couple of months, things started to
:09:57. > :10:08.click in. I started to feel complete on the court. I was struggling, and
:10:09. > :10:17.I was not the only one that struggled mentally. Winning four
:10:18. > :10:19.Grand Slams in a row was an incredible achievement and made me
:10:20. > :10:29.very content but I thought I would not face these kinds of emotions
:10:30. > :10:33.which I've read many athletes did face in their careers at some stage,
:10:34. > :10:38.usually after they achieved everything, basically, and I have.
:10:39. > :10:46.So it took me some time to recharge my batteries. It's interesting
:10:47. > :10:49.talking to Novak Djokovic because it always feels like you could talk
:10:50. > :10:55.philosophy and mental state for longer than you could talk tennis.
:10:56. > :11:01.You've maintained the motivation. How do you do it when, as he says,
:11:02. > :11:04.he achieved everything? You need to want to do it again, and it was
:11:05. > :11:10.about becoming a better tennis player. I was still learning and
:11:11. > :11:16.experimenting, what can I do better? I never got bored, and I was never
:11:17. > :11:21.not motivated. I was burned out a little bit in the late 80s but that
:11:22. > :11:25.was because I did it so many times, did not really allow myself to take
:11:26. > :11:30.a day off so I was just tired, but overall, excited to be on the court.
:11:31. > :11:37.Never found a lack of something to achieve. If there is going to be a
:11:38. > :11:42.place that reignites you it will be Centre Court at Wimbledon. You would
:11:43. > :11:49.think so, but also we are in an era where we've got Rafael Nadal and
:11:50. > :11:53.Roger Federer, they are phenomenal and the attempt to get better and
:11:54. > :11:57.better and better, and it is definitely possible for him to get
:11:58. > :12:02.better if he wants to but they are the benchmark and it is pretty hard
:12:03. > :12:05.to live up to that. I was pretty satisfied, I wanted to win
:12:06. > :12:10.Wimbledon, the Davis Cup and the Australian Open and I almost got
:12:11. > :12:19.them. I was done by then. That was enough for me. These guys, 35, they
:12:20. > :12:26.still want to win. You go to Roger Federer and say, why is he still
:12:27. > :12:32.playing? I don't know what keeps them going. Novak Djokovic is pretty
:12:33. > :12:42.normal. I guess he is. Did you see enough to know whether he's back on
:12:43. > :12:46.his A-game? I don't think he did play particularly well, he served
:12:47. > :12:54.well, he looked focused, things will come together. Often, you can over
:12:55. > :13:02.think these things. They needed more meditation, more motivation. He will
:13:03. > :13:09.find his balance. Sometimes you need to take some time off your game. You
:13:10. > :13:16.need to give yourself permission to quit and then you either do that or
:13:17. > :13:20.think again. There's no question in my mind that he has been burned out
:13:21. > :13:27.a little bit. He achieved everything so what comes next? But you can
:13:28. > :13:35.overanalyse things. It's easy to do that. Tennis is a perfectionist
:13:36. > :13:50.sport. You can tinker. At that point you need to go simple. Not over
:13:51. > :13:56.think. Just hit the ball. At the end we will talk about players retiring
:13:57. > :14:01.when injured and John McEnroe was scathing about Klizan. He said, you
:14:02. > :14:07.should offer them half the prize money. You don't want guys just
:14:08. > :14:10.showing up for the pay cheque. You understand it is meaningful to them
:14:11. > :14:15.so you give them half of it. Svetlana Kuznetsova has been one of
:14:16. > :14:27.the players in action on the second day of the Wimbledon, and she moved
:14:28. > :14:33.smoothly to match point. And indeed, rather good rally. Wasn't expecting
:14:34. > :14:37.it to be that brilliant on match point.
:14:38. > :14:44.She advances to the second round. Seventh seed.
:14:45. > :14:52.There was an all British affair out on court and an awful lot of fans
:14:53. > :14:55.supporting them because Alex Ward was the only British man to come
:14:56. > :15:03.through qualifying and he was up against Kyle Edmund. Wimbledon 2016,
:15:04. > :15:09.round one, Day one. Alex Ward lost a tennis match in straight sets. By
:15:10. > :15:15.playing that he earned ?30,000. He cleared his debts, he kept himself
:15:16. > :15:19.going. Then he got injured. It's a long way back. Mile after mile,
:15:20. > :15:25.match after match, practising with Andy Murray, worrying about money,
:15:26. > :15:33.all the while, his ranking fell. Then finally, luck. A wild him into
:15:34. > :15:41.qualifying. He did the rest. The world 869 stepped out on Court three
:15:42. > :15:45.to play Kyle Edmund, and watching Alex, his mum, 60 today. The best
:15:46. > :15:52.present ever. I'm overjoyed for them and I admire him. I really admire
:15:53. > :16:04.the effort he's put in. Now for the reward. It is breaking the serve of
:16:05. > :16:08.a man 700 places above you in the first game. Going on to take the
:16:09. > :16:14.first set when you thought you'd be playing at an event in Spain in
:16:15. > :16:17.front of 50 people. Mum's birthday is going rather well. Kyle Edmund
:16:18. > :16:27.seemed uncomfortable with being the favourite. In the sixth game, the
:16:28. > :16:35.match reached its pivot. Alex Ward never recovered. Kyle Edmund took
:16:36. > :16:43.the set from there. He dropped three games in the final two sets. Kyle
:16:44. > :16:45.Edmund is 50th in the world but has seemed to sink on grass. This
:16:46. > :17:03.victory was a long time coming. Kyle Edmund faces Gael Monfils next.
:17:04. > :17:08.Alex Borg may have lost a tennis match but he's gained some
:17:09. > :17:15.prize-money and potentially 300 ranking places -- Alex Ward.
:17:16. > :17:22.The fairy tale of the qualifier, Alex Ward, comes to an end. The
:17:23. > :17:28.story is just beginning for Edmund. Nice to get the winner at Wimbledon.
:17:29. > :17:33.The home Grand Slam. It is a dream when you're a kid. Has not been a
:17:34. > :17:43.good tournament for me in recent years. Well done to Alex. He had a
:17:44. > :17:53.long injury layout. It's interesting to see him do well. I'm happy that I
:17:54. > :17:56.did well. Kyle Edmund winning his first match at Wimbledon. He was
:17:57. > :18:04.part of a Davis Cup winning team. Still seems remarkable. As -- really
:18:05. > :18:13.big step for him. Winning is also an experience and it can become a
:18:14. > :18:20.habit. Credits to Alex Ward, for coming through qualifying. He is a
:18:21. > :18:24.terrible time with injuries. Anybody who qualifies is a heck of a player.
:18:25. > :18:29.There is some really good players out there. If you look through the
:18:30. > :18:36.list you will be like, I remember him, I remember him. Injury is the
:18:37. > :18:43.curse for any athlete and hopefully he can stay fit and move through the
:18:44. > :18:46.ranking. We can talk about how he should play it because one of the
:18:47. > :18:52.most entertaining players is Gael Monfils. The crowd were in for a
:18:53. > :19:43.real treat. Very very good. Great composure.
:19:44. > :19:47.Yes, down the line. Gael Monfils breaks in game 11 offset two. That
:19:48. > :19:52.game 11 of set to. Could not help himself. Could he?
:19:53. > :20:15.Could have been an easy brutal way. Everyone is that it now. I guess if
:20:16. > :20:23.you play enough of them, one will come off. When they come off its a
:20:24. > :20:24.great shock. If it does not you are exasperated as to why they played
:20:25. > :20:37.it. He takes the match at the first time
:20:38. > :20:47.of asking, I good performance from Gael Monfils. He'd never got beyond
:20:48. > :20:53.the third round here at Wimbledon. He is so much fun to watch. So far
:20:54. > :20:57.behind the baseline, there is a loopy swing on his forehand, not
:20:58. > :21:02.enough time to recover, because he covers the course so well but he
:21:03. > :21:10.runs out of space here. And he's a bit nuts as well. He's got much more
:21:11. > :21:15.focused now. He seems to be much more serious about his game. I felt
:21:16. > :21:20.he was not hitting the forehand as far as he could and now he's doing
:21:21. > :21:27.it once in a while. He's got all the shops, and unbelievable athlete.
:21:28. > :21:33.Everybody is glued to the TV screen. Whatever happens next. The French
:21:34. > :21:36.Open, with Dustin Brown, did you see some of those points? It was
:21:37. > :21:41.unbelievable. I've never seen shots like that. It's worth going on you
:21:42. > :21:47.Tube and checking that out. Unbelievable. Not until we've
:21:48. > :21:53.finished the show. Kyle Edmund is going to play him. What does Kyle
:21:54. > :22:01.Edmund do to counteract and nullify Gael Monfils? He's got to use his
:22:02. > :22:10.forehand well. They've played quite similarly. He's got some real power
:22:11. > :22:16.on his forehand. He is going to play a great game. He's got to play
:22:17. > :22:23.aggressive and take it to Gil Montes. I don't see that as an
:22:24. > :22:30.impossible task. It's a chance. One British woman who looks like she's
:22:31. > :22:36.got a massive future is a 20-year-old called Katie Boulter.
:22:37. > :22:43.Today she was taking on Christina McHale. We will pick this matchup
:22:44. > :22:49.with Katie Boulter serving in the first set.
:22:50. > :23:17.Her second ace. Took all the speed off it, added loads of spin.
:23:18. > :24:00.Love to see this on the grass court, someone coming in and cutting across
:24:01. > :24:37.the ball. Hugely exciting start for the
:24:38. > :24:47.wildcard. She lost a tight second set 7-5. She was leading 2-0. McHale
:24:48. > :24:57.got five games in a row and served out the match. Katie Boulter, this
:24:58. > :24:59.was her reaction after. I'm devastated. I'm sure in the next
:25:00. > :25:05.couple of days I will reflect on it more. Of course, I'm proud to
:25:06. > :25:10.represent my country and give my all, that is where I'm at right now.
:25:11. > :25:16.What is devastating, is it because you felt you had the opportunity to
:25:17. > :25:21.win that? Definitely. I really felt like I could win that match and I
:25:22. > :25:25.was in with a chance, and from the very first ball I felt comfortable
:25:26. > :25:31.out there. I'm very happy with the way that I played. It was a tough
:25:32. > :25:38.last set for Katie Boulter. She had the break in the decider as well.
:25:39. > :25:46.How impressed are you with the response? I love it. She is
:25:47. > :25:52.devastated, and it should hurt. You need to improve and work it out and
:25:53. > :25:58.play in the same position. I love the fact that she cares so much. Her
:25:59. > :26:03.first Wimbledon and I'm pretty sure that we will see her again. She's in
:26:04. > :26:12.good hands with and Jeremy. Let's have a look at some of what they've
:26:13. > :26:19.got. She's tall and she's got very good technique and she works really
:26:20. > :26:28.hard. I tell you what, they were working really hard. I'm trying to
:26:29. > :26:35.put my finger on whether it was illness or injury that took her out.
:26:36. > :26:39.If somebody works that had and they are really determined, if they are
:26:40. > :26:46.athletic, hopefully she's got it in the future. Hopefully we will see
:26:47. > :26:54.her back here. News of the other British players in action. Two to
:26:55. > :27:01.tell you about. James Ward said it was really tough out there. He was
:27:02. > :27:09.up against Marcos Baghdatis. He lost in straight sets.
:27:10. > :27:21.Wildcard Brydan Klein made it a tight first set against Sugita of
:27:22. > :27:28.Japan. He faded after a tight first set. So I'm afraid it was a good
:27:29. > :27:35.start and a disappointing end to his first Wimbledon. What about
:27:36. > :27:39.Angelique Kerber? Current number one, a little bit wobbly of late.
:27:40. > :27:40.She got the honour of opening up Centre Court in the absence of
:27:41. > :27:45.Serena Williams. Just a little idea of how she was
:27:46. > :28:11.playing out there. You were watching this match. Do you
:28:12. > :28:18.think she's the most dangerous player? She would not have been at
:28:19. > :28:23.the beginning of the tournament but her odds will go up. She looks
:28:24. > :28:28.better than she had all year. I still would like her to be more
:28:29. > :28:37.aggressive. That's how she got to the number one. She got out of it by
:28:38. > :28:40.Falconi who is not a big hitter. That cannot happen later on in the
:28:41. > :28:45.tournament because people will not beat themselves. But good signs
:28:46. > :28:48.today because there were some hiccups with a match could have
:28:49. > :28:50.turned around and she kept her cool. She played well enough to win and
:28:51. > :28:57.much better than she has done. I know you love her forehand. Moved
:28:58. > :29:00.really well. Her forehand down-the-line is what got her to
:29:01. > :29:05.number one last year. She has not been hitting it well this year. But
:29:06. > :29:11.today, much, much better. Falconi hit as many winners off lobs and
:29:12. > :29:15.drop shots as off hard shots. She was throwing everything but the
:29:16. > :29:20.kitchen sink at Kerber. Kerber moved really well. Yeah, a real athlete. I
:29:21. > :29:24.would like her to be closer to the baseline. She's still too passive
:29:25. > :29:28.positionally. It's such an interesting draw. The women's looks
:29:29. > :29:32.just wide-open. It is. Anybody who starts to feel the momentum could
:29:33. > :29:36.really do it. Yes. I mean confidence is hard to get. But you can actually
:29:37. > :29:42.get confident during the match and then lose it within the match. It's
:29:43. > :29:45.a very elusive thing to have. Kerber looks like she's on her way up,
:29:46. > :29:48.which is good to see. One of the players who might start to feel
:29:49. > :29:56.she's on a roll is Karolina Pliskova, who won Eastbourne. She's
:29:57. > :29:59.the third seed. She pedestrian Rodina 6-1, 6-4. This was match
:30:00. > :30:05.point. Tracy Austin was on that match and said she's her favourite.
:30:06. > :30:09.It's tough to pick this year. Picking someone never beyond the
:30:10. > :30:12.second round of Wimbledon. What has Pliskova got and why is she
:30:13. > :30:17.dangerous? She's got a big game. She's tall and long. She moves well
:30:18. > :30:21.enough for the grass. Huge serve, huge forehand. Big backhand as well.
:30:22. > :30:27.The forehand particularly is very effective. The serve, I mean it's a
:30:28. > :30:30.bullet. First serve aces, second serve, she can get aces on her
:30:31. > :30:34.second serve as well, that's how well she serves. She looks for the
:30:35. > :30:38.short ball. She's good at the next she can take the pace off the ball.
:30:39. > :30:41.She's got it all. Her biggest downside is her movement. She's
:30:42. > :30:45.gotten better. She's good enough. She's fast enough to win this thing,
:30:46. > :30:52.that's for sure. I think she's a real talent. There's no doubt about
:30:53. > :30:57.it. She's got a big game. If you can smack aces and you are going to get
:30:58. > :31:01.forehand winners it reminds me of some Williams girl who's not here
:31:02. > :31:05.this year. And on the grass you can hit plenty of winners. With a big
:31:06. > :31:10.game like, that hits the ball flat or she can mix it up and come to the
:31:11. > :31:16.net and long reach over that, the wing span is pretty big. Without
:31:17. > :31:21.Serena Williams here the matches on Pliskova racquet against everybody
:31:22. > :31:24.else. Other than maybe Petra Kvitova, would can outhit her.
:31:25. > :31:29.That's why she's two are the favourites. Playing as well as they
:31:30. > :31:32.are, with the big games they have, match on the racquet. More on the
:31:33. > :31:35.women's matches in a minute, including the one that Pat Cash is
:31:36. > :31:38.now coaching. We have decided as well as a player of the day, we
:31:39. > :31:49.probably should give an award foreofficial of the day. It goes to
:31:50. > :31:53.this guy. The line judge who was on the Del Potro-Kokkinakis match on
:31:54. > :31:59.court two, three times he takes one for the team. Now bearing in mind
:32:00. > :32:05.that Kokkinakis is no slouch at 127mph with his fastest serve. Del
:32:06. > :32:09.Potro about 133. How much would that hurt? I think I would put something
:32:10. > :32:13.there on the mid-section just in case. As if you were playing
:32:14. > :32:16.cricket. Usually the centre service line is a pretty safe place to be,
:32:17. > :32:20.but not when these guys are serving as big as they are. You've got to
:32:21. > :32:24.read the play, read the ball. It was curling in, go the other way! He
:32:25. > :32:27.kept running into the ball. He stepped forward to it. Quite brave.
:32:28. > :32:32.He was the magnet. They were colliding. I think he was on a later
:32:33. > :32:36.match, though. He has survived. And he walks on. Now to the man who is
:32:37. > :32:41.the bookies' favourite to win the title this year and if he did so, it
:32:42. > :32:53.would be his eighth title here at Wimbledon. And his 19th Grand Slam.
:32:54. > :32:58.COMMENTATOR: If you love tennis and you don't like watching Roger play
:32:59. > :33:04.then you've got a real issue. SUE BARKER: Today the most famous court
:33:05. > :33:09.in the world welcomes back the greatest player ever. The amazing
:33:10. > :33:13.grace of Roger Federer where athleticism meets artistry.
:33:14. > :33:18.Federer's forehand is the greatest shot in the game. Where raw effort
:33:19. > :33:23.looks easy. How does he conjure that up? Of course, it's anything but
:33:24. > :33:28.easy. For all of the complex questions time and body pose him,
:33:29. > :33:31.his philosophy remains simple. I'm trying to remind myself every single
:33:32. > :33:36.point I play just enjoy yourself out there and then good things will
:33:37. > :33:41.happen to you. Roger Federer was going for a record-breaking 85th win
:33:42. > :33:51.at Wimbledon to overtake Jimmy Connors. He was up against Alexandr
:33:52. > :33:55.Dolgopolov. I met some of his fans earlier on. They come from all over
:33:56. > :33:59.the world. They were flooding there to Centre Court and Federer had an
:34:00. > :34:04.early break of serve. We join it at 4-2 with the Ukrainian serving.
:34:05. > :34:22.Andrew Cotter, Boris Becker and Tim Henman in the commentary box.
:34:23. > :34:34.Centre Court approves. You can see when Dolgopolov is playing well.
:34:35. > :34:38.Boris Becker: They want to have a longer match. The last one was a set
:34:39. > :35:07.and something. Early in the afternoon for Wimbledon standards.
:35:08. > :35:16.It was a blistering return from Federer.
:35:17. > :36:10.BORIS BECKER: Some of these double faults happen because your position
:36:11. > :36:14.has done something before to create a bit more pressure. Once more break
:36:15. > :36:56.point for Federer. Back of his feet almost before he
:36:57. > :37:34.knew it. Another chance for the double break.
:37:35. > :37:39.Dolgopolov breaks through, good defence from Federer, but the
:37:40. > :38:02.Ukrainian survives this break point as well.
:38:03. > :38:07.He's playing pretty well. He keeps the pressure on. He's not afraid of
:38:08. > :38:09.the occasion. He's not overwhelmed as some of the other first-round
:38:10. > :38:34.opponents. The hold.
:38:35. > :38:38.STUDIO: Good effort to hold serve. But fairly soon Federer was serving
:38:39. > :38:44.for the first set. The Ukrainian struggling more and more with his
:38:45. > :38:47.movement. He called for the trainer during the break. He had a deep
:38:48. > :38:57.conversation with him and asked him to look at his ankle. Heavy
:38:58. > :39:01.strapping on that ankle. Meanwhile Federer, well, he served his
:39:02. > :39:09.10,000th ace today, only the third player to reach that milestone. Ivo
:39:10. > :39:14.Karlovic and Goran Ivanovic are the other two. Rejoining the match,
:39:15. > :39:16.Federer leads 3-0 in the second set and Dolgopolov really just getting
:39:17. > :40:01.lamer and lamer. Early Federer takes that second
:40:02. > :40:48.serve return, putting a lot of pressure on Dolgopolov's serve.
:40:49. > :40:58.Oh, dear. This might be the end of things for Dolgopolov.
:40:59. > :41:03.UMPIRE: Ladies and gentleman, due to injury... Very sad for Alexandr
:41:04. > :41:07.Dolgopolov. Roger Federer will be the first to offer words of
:41:08. > :41:12.consolation. He will feel for his Ukrainian opponent. The crowd is
:41:13. > :41:16.denied a longer match here. Two retirements in a row. Djokovic moved
:41:17. > :41:25.on and Roger Federer does so now as well. Very sad for his opponent. I
:41:26. > :41:29.think no, a player should not go on court if he knows he won't finish.
:41:30. > :41:32.The question is, did they truly believe they were going to finish.
:41:33. > :41:38.If they did, I think it's OK that they walk on court. Otherwise I feel
:41:39. > :41:42.they should give up the spot. In the process, maybe the tour or like, not
:41:43. > :41:47.the tour, the ATP has adjusted the rule, but maybe the slams should
:41:48. > :41:50.maybe have a look at what they could do for the players to make it just a
:41:51. > :41:55.little bit easier. It's a lot of money. For some of them it's even
:41:56. > :41:58.more. For some it's less, it doesn't matter. For some they just want to
:41:59. > :42:02.be out there, they feel like miracles do happen. Maybe the other
:42:03. > :42:06.guy retires too. Maybe the other guy is carrying an injury. Maybe if I
:42:07. > :42:10.win and I have a day off I will feel better on Thursday. All these things
:42:11. > :42:13.play into the equation as well. Don't forget those things as well.
:42:14. > :42:18.Could be rain, come back the next day, you know, you never know what
:42:19. > :42:23.the player's motives are. Well there is plenty to discuss here. Because
:42:24. > :42:27.eight players have retired hurt in their matches so far. We're only on
:42:28. > :42:33.day two. Seven men and one woman. You can look at them there and the
:42:34. > :42:37.various reasons. Hips, knees, the odd calf and ankle and a foot. It's
:42:38. > :42:43.not heat. It's not heat, you're right. So what is happening? Seven
:42:44. > :42:51.men and one woman, I'm just saying. That's true. But what is happening?
:42:52. > :42:55.Tennis is a tough sport. I mean, I think there were probably a couple
:42:56. > :42:58.of guys who shouldn't have played. It's ironic, they've taken some
:42:59. > :43:03.money out of the tournament and made the first round losses more money,
:43:04. > :43:07.so the lesser players who are coming through, like the Wards we just saw,
:43:08. > :43:11.qualified and they make money, keep themselves going on the circuit for
:43:12. > :43:16.a while. ?35,000, isn't it? There are guys that go, I'm here any way,
:43:17. > :43:22.why not give it a shot. It's OK to give it a shot. It's a tricky one.
:43:23. > :43:24.Yeah, I think... The only person that knows whether they think they
:43:25. > :43:28.can finish the match is the player themselves. The doctor can't even
:43:29. > :43:31.know. Only you can know. You just have to look in the mirror, is it
:43:32. > :43:36.worth it for me, for this money? And by the way, we are professionals. We
:43:37. > :43:39.are playing for money. But at the same time, hopefully, you are
:43:40. > :43:41.selfless enough to think about other things, other than yourself which is
:43:42. > :43:45.your opponent, the player that didn't get in and the spectators.
:43:46. > :43:48.Let's not forget that. They paid a lot of money to be here. That's why
:43:49. > :43:51.they were booing at the end of that match, because they had two in a
:43:52. > :43:59.row. That's unheard of. I've never seen it happen. That That was a
:44:00. > :44:05.great ticket at the beginning of the day. In a lot of sports, you have to
:44:06. > :44:09.pass a medical before you can take part. Now is there a medical for
:44:10. > :44:13.players? No. Not at all? No such thing. No, it's totally up to you to
:44:14. > :44:17.play. You could still win a match on one leg, it's not going to happen
:44:18. > :44:20.against Federer or Djokovic. If one was being harsh, you would say they
:44:21. > :44:25.are denying somebody else the chance. They are. Even if they lost
:44:26. > :44:28.in the first round, as well as denying spectators, you're denying
:44:29. > :44:32.somebody else the chance of winning it or finishing the match. It's the
:44:33. > :44:37.lucky losers if they pull out. If they think they can play and they go
:44:38. > :44:40.out and realise because you know the draw is made on Friday. The
:44:41. > :44:44.qualification finished on Thursday. You think OK, they're not playing
:44:45. > :44:47.till Tuesday. I've got four days for the ankle to get better. It can
:44:48. > :44:51.happen. You do know the day of the match though whether you can finish
:44:52. > :44:56.the match. Yeah, you definitely do. By that time it's too late. Who is
:44:57. > :44:59.going to walk away from that much money. For some players it sets them
:45:00. > :45:02.up for the rest of the year. Let's not forget we talk about the
:45:03. > :45:06.pressure on the top players. There's pressure on the lower ranked players
:45:07. > :45:09.to just pay the bills. This could set them up for the rest of the
:45:10. > :45:14.year, the difference between having a coach or not. It's a tough call.
:45:15. > :45:17.But I think the slams should pony up some money here and say look, if you
:45:18. > :45:22.don't think you can finish the match, here is a percentage of the
:45:23. > :45:25.prize money and put on a real match. And give someone else the chance,
:45:26. > :45:28.give half the prize money and put on somebody else instead? Something
:45:29. > :45:33.like that. What due make of Federer in the 43 minutes you saw of him?
:45:34. > :45:37.Not much. I mean everything. We didn't see him enough. Nobody did.
:45:38. > :45:41.Probably saw, actually those crowded around court ten where he was
:45:42. > :45:47.practising, they probably saw more. He looks fresh. As well he should
:45:48. > :45:51.be. Great tune up in Holland. He looks as sharp as he needs to be
:45:52. > :45:55.right now. It's probably good for him actually. He just got the feel
:45:56. > :45:59.of Centre Court. He missed a couple of passing shots, just getting the
:46:00. > :46:04.feel of Centre Court. For a guy who is turning 36 soon, you know it's
:46:05. > :46:08.not bad to have a nice, easy cruise around. One match ticked off. Six
:46:09. > :46:13.more to go. Yeah, if you can get off the court an hour-and-a-half less,
:46:14. > :46:19.then he'll take that. He just looks so fluid. It's just so easy. Any
:46:20. > :46:25.way. He was showing off. Now to shot of the day. There were so many that
:46:26. > :46:29.we could have chosen from this one match Gael Monfils against Daniel
:46:30. > :46:35.Brands. We chose this because you get pretty much two trick shots for
:46:36. > :46:39.the price of one. There's the tweenor. Then that. I
:46:40. > :46:45.love the way Monfils holds the pose afterwards. That was good. That was
:46:46. > :46:50.the easy shot. Not that easy, but he made it look easy. Germans featured
:46:51. > :46:58.in some big matches today and Rishi can mark our card.
:46:59. > :47:03.First of the German contenders on court one was Struff, the
:47:04. > :47:09.27-year-old faced last year's finalist Milos Raonic and showed he
:47:10. > :47:16.was made of stern stuff. But he finally succumbed 6 high pressure 7,
:47:17. > :47:23.2-6, 6-7. Raonic Thunderered 20 aces past him and shows he has a fearsome
:47:24. > :47:30.return. Better news for German fans on court
:47:31. > :47:37.14, Alexander Zverev encountered an Ungur spired Bernard Tomic. He
:47:38. > :47:42.admits he lacks motivation. Zverev looks impressive none the less,
:47:43. > :47:46.serving and volleying with aplomb, winning 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 in just 84
:47:47. > :47:50.minutes. His younger brother is also through
:47:51. > :47:55.to the second round. The 20-year-old has been touted as a future
:47:56. > :48:00.superstar and the 6'6" German looked every inch the next big thing as he
:48:01. > :48:06.breezed past the Russian in straight sets. It means that Misha and
:48:07. > :48:10.Alexander are the first seeded brothers to reach the second round
:48:11. > :48:18.at Wimbledon in 35 years. Sadly no German success on court 18 and
:48:19. > :48:22.Bartel lost to Coco Vandeweghe. She is now coached by Pat Cash.
:48:23. > :48:31.Described the former Wimbledon champion as "On the side of doshingy
:48:32. > :48:37.sometimes". Next up for the American is another German, Tatiana Maria. So
:48:38. > :48:47.Pat, you were happy today? Do you want to put your glasses on? She
:48:48. > :48:50.called me quite doshingy. -- dorky. She was asked, what has he
:48:51. > :48:54.contributed to your life. He's introduced me to a lot of 80s rock
:48:55. > :49:03.bands which I wasn't quite familiar with. I keep reminding him I was
:49:04. > :49:10.born in '91. I told her the best rock bands ELO, Black Sabbath, Judas
:49:11. > :49:15.priest all from Birmingham. Who's not from there? What was your
:49:16. > :49:20.question? Were you happy with her today and also, nower can she go
:49:21. > :49:24.here? She made the quarter finals in 2015. All I'm concerned about is her
:49:25. > :49:29.winning the first point of the next match. That's what we're focussing
:49:30. > :49:34.on. That's just refining it right down. It's been a few weeks. I've
:49:35. > :49:38.set really tricky targets for her. She's been really very, very good.
:49:39. > :49:42.I've been really impressed by her efforts. She's got potential. She's
:49:43. > :49:46.got a great attitude. She always seems very positive. Yes, she's got
:49:47. > :49:51.an attitude and she can back it up with her game. You have to stay in
:49:52. > :49:56.the moment. She's doing that. She's got the potential. We'll see where
:49:57. > :50:03.she takes it. I think she said it with great affection. I would say
:50:04. > :50:10.he's actually on the side of dorkey a little bit. Now we're going to
:50:11. > :50:13.discuss Bernard Tomic. This is one of the tamest dismissals so far
:50:14. > :50:23.here. This is what he said in the press conference afterwards. It's
:50:24. > :50:26.tough to find motivation, you know being out there, playing I think
:50:27. > :50:32.this is my eighth Wimbledon already and I'm 24 years old and still very
:50:33. > :50:37.young on tour. I just feel a little bit I'm border out there. I've just
:50:38. > :50:43.got to find a way to get back and you know enjoy tennis again. People
:50:44. > :50:45.think it's an amazing life, we are making millions of dollars and you
:50:46. > :50:49.know, sometimes it's tough mentally to compete and put yourself out
:50:50. > :50:54.there day in, day out. I'm not the best character to do that.
:50:55. > :50:59.So he's had enough already. No motivation. I think one of the worst
:51:00. > :51:03.issues there is he took medical timeout and blatantly said yeah, I
:51:04. > :51:07.wasn't injured, I did it because I wanted to break up the time. You
:51:08. > :51:11.know, he took - I wonder if he's going to get a big fine for that. I
:51:12. > :51:15.mean he's just admitted it. I don't know where Bernie's at. I understand
:51:16. > :51:21.it can be tough out there. He's one of the most decorated juniors there
:51:22. > :51:28.was. What has he done as a pro? Quarter finals here. Oh, Ottowa,
:51:29. > :51:34.great. -- oh, wow, great. I think he was the youngest since Boris Becker
:51:35. > :51:37.to get that far. Oh, now I can quit. He needs to go and work in a factory
:51:38. > :51:40.for a while and do some labour and see what it's like to really work
:51:41. > :51:46.out there. And fight your way through. Somebody take his money
:51:47. > :51:50.away and say OK, there you go. He's too rich too early. Simple as that.
:51:51. > :51:59.It's not that simple, but there's complex issues going on with him. I
:52:00. > :52:04.think that is a big issue. Renee Stubbs said what was said in the
:52:05. > :52:07.interview was a disgrace not only to tennis but Australian tennis. I
:52:08. > :52:12.don't want to stick the boot in. But that wasn't a great day. I don't
:52:13. > :52:18.think Bernie by a long shot represents everybody, all Australian
:52:19. > :52:25.players. Of course not. He will have to do worse than that to damage it.
:52:26. > :52:30.A lot of ex-players are cringing, ex-Aussies, especially the guys that
:52:31. > :52:33.started this pro circuit. It's disrespectful to the sport. It's
:52:34. > :52:38.disrespectful to the history of sport. If you can't get motivated at
:52:39. > :52:42.Wimbledon, find another job. The spectators paid good money. These
:52:43. > :52:46.people that probably work in a factory, they spent their good money
:52:47. > :52:49.to come here and watch and the guy shows up and doesn't really show up,
:52:50. > :52:54.doesn't try. He can't be bothered. Just stay home. Take time off. And
:52:55. > :52:59.maybe as he said, I don't have to work the rest of my life, so maybe
:53:00. > :53:03.he shouldn't. On a more positive note for Australian tennis, happy
:53:04. > :53:10.anniversary tomorrow. OK! Because it is 30 years ago tomorrow... It must
:53:11. > :53:15.be hold on, it must be yours today. Oh, that's right. I played the day
:53:16. > :53:19.before you. That is it. The thing is we knew it would be an anniversary
:53:20. > :53:25.of something for you. Pretty much every year. Thank you. But yeah, it
:53:26. > :53:28.is Cash's anniversary tomorrow. What's funny he climbed into the box
:53:29. > :53:33.and I'm like oh, that's just not done here. And a couple years later,
:53:34. > :53:38.everybody's doing it. Pat start aid trend. There Very cool. Now there's
:53:39. > :53:43.a walkway so you don't climb onto the roof any more. Exactly health
:53:44. > :53:46.and safety got involved. Happy anniversary to you today and Pat for
:53:47. > :53:49.tomorrow. Let's look at the order of play tomorrow.
:53:50. > :53:50.If you have a ticket for Centre Court, one has got to think that
:53:51. > :54:45.this is a corker. Now, Rafael Nadal, how has he been
:54:46. > :54:52.preparing for his second round match?
:54:53. > :55:00.Well this is how. He has been shopping and using the self-service
:55:01. > :55:07.tills in south fields in Tesco Express. Actually, our editor saw
:55:08. > :55:11.Dustin Brown in M, just so we represent more than one supermarket.
:55:12. > :55:19.Where else are they going to get their food? I know. That's what
:55:20. > :55:26.people do. Imagine Rafa doing his own shopping. You know better what
:55:27. > :55:29.you need. I ran into David and all the players shop there. You've got
:55:30. > :55:34.to eat. He's so down to earth. At the Olympics in Rio, we went out
:55:35. > :55:38.after the cycling had finished. It was quite late, a gang of five came
:55:39. > :55:41.up to a restaurant and they were turned away because they were told
:55:42. > :55:44.it wasn't open any more and it was Rafa. He was so good about it. He
:55:45. > :55:50.didn't turn around and throw a fit or anything. I wanted to say to
:55:51. > :55:54.them, do you know that's Rafael Nadal? The good news on the weather.
:55:55. > :55:58.If you are coming today or watching on TV, it is a very good day. Dry
:55:59. > :56:02.and bright, plenty of sunshine becoming hot in the afternoon.
:56:03. > :56:06.Temperature rising to 29 Celsius. And if you're staying at home to
:56:07. > :56:10.watch the TV, it should be around 3pm that I suspect Andy Murray comes
:56:11. > :56:18.out to play Dustin Brown. This is what they call a pop corn match.
:56:19. > :56:24.You're used to being a crowd favourite and if you play Andy...
:56:25. > :56:28.Who said I won't be? I'm hoping no-one's going to boo me. I will
:56:29. > :56:35.play my game. Either way he's the favourite. I will be relaxed and
:56:36. > :56:39.play my game. I'll go out there and try my best. I like him a lot. He's
:56:40. > :56:43.a fun guy to watch and not easy to play. On the court, he's a big
:56:44. > :56:47.personality in the way he plays, you think that he's quite loud and you
:56:48. > :56:54.know, stuff away from the court. But he's very quiet, humble, nice guy.
:56:55. > :56:58.We get on well. So it's two unpredictable players in a row for
:56:59. > :57:03.Andy. Does that suit him? Murray is so solid. He was limping around in
:57:04. > :57:08.his first round match, but he was moving well. It didn't seem to
:57:09. > :57:10.affect him. That's the thing with these players, especially Murray, he
:57:11. > :57:14.doesn't give anybody unforced errors. He makes you play the tough
:57:15. > :57:17.shots all the time. Dustin can produce unbelievable stuff. We know
:57:18. > :57:20.that. It's really entertaining. Can he do it the whole match and put
:57:21. > :57:27.enough pressure on Murray? We'll see. It will take his best effort to
:57:28. > :57:31.beat somebody like Murray who will make lots of returns. It will be
:57:32. > :57:35.good. What do you make of Johanna Konta after her fall and coming back
:57:36. > :57:38.and winning well in the first round. I think she's almost getting too low
:57:39. > :57:42.for the ball. She's scraping the ball quite a bit. No, she looked
:57:43. > :57:46.sharp. Everything was cooking. Didn't look like she was feeling any
:57:47. > :57:52.pressure. Just a good win, solid. Didn't stay there too long. Played
:57:53. > :57:57.well enough. Hopefully will keep getting better. We know Rafa is
:57:58. > :58:01.relaxed and eating well as well. Will Donald Young pose troubles?
:58:02. > :58:05.Young is playing well at the moment. He hasn't got a great record on
:58:06. > :58:08.grass. He played really well at Queen's and I was quite impressed
:58:09. > :58:13.with him. He played the week before as well, I'm trying to think where.
:58:14. > :58:18.He's actually playing his best grass court tennis of his career. He was a
:58:19. > :58:21.really heralded junior, I mean really the next superstar. It's been
:58:22. > :58:25.a lot of pressure for him. He's coming out there swinging away. This
:58:26. > :58:30.will be an interesting match. It will be tricky. It could be fun. It
:58:31. > :58:36.could be the other pop corn match. They both play flashy and obviously
:58:37. > :58:44.Rafa plays like himself. A lot of flair. Reminds me of Rios, really
:58:45. > :58:50.good hands. Flashy like Zorro. Thank you both so much for today. It was a
:58:51. > :58:56.weird day at Wimbledon. Do eat the strawberries. So many players
:58:57. > :58:59.retired hurt. Pat is back with me along with John McEnroe and I
:59:00. > :59:02.suspect we'll be talking about this guy.
