:00:00. > :00:09.Wozniacki, This is a national programme. Now we're going to take
:00:10. > :00:42.you over to Wimbledon. When the players come off court,
:00:43. > :00:47.their job isn't finished. They come in here to the main interview room
:00:48. > :00:50.to face the world's press. It's a pretty intimidating place to be.
:00:51. > :00:54.We'll see the best of their play and hear what they have to say on Today
:00:55. > :01:02.at Wimbledon. Here's what's coming up: At this stage last year, Novak
:01:03. > :01:06.Djokovic was sent packing. Would he survive against Ernesto Gulbis?
:01:07. > :01:12.Roger was relaxing earlier in the day before he took on Mischa Zverev.
:01:13. > :01:18.We'll see Aga, Angie, Coco and Caroline as they look to book a
:01:19. > :01:21.place in the last 16. We've got the most beautiful evening again! We
:01:22. > :01:26.have been blessed with fabulous weather through this first week of
:01:27. > :01:36.Wimbledon. From next Monday, 128 men, 128 Willoughby be down to --
:01:37. > :01:39.women will be down to just 28 each. We're with the dream teem, Boris
:01:40. > :01:49.Becker and Martina Navratilova. Oh, my word. I thought you were going to
:01:50. > :01:54.say beautiful people, but you said beautiful evening. We're going to
:01:55. > :02:02.start reflecting on today's action with a trip down memory lane on
:02:03. > :02:07.Centre Court. 25 years ago Wimbledon crowned an
:02:08. > :02:16.unfor gettable champion. COMMENTATOR: What a glorious moment
:02:17. > :02:22.this is. The name Andre Agassi conjures that smile. That spirit is
:02:23. > :02:27.here now. Novak is a champion. He's been moulded. He knows what he's
:02:28. > :02:30.doing. You have to find the buttons that make him the best that he is.
:02:31. > :02:34.COMMENTATOR: Djokovic doing what he does so well. It's about finding the
:02:35. > :02:38.parts that help him feel clear so that he's able to execute his best
:02:39. > :02:43.game. COMMENTATOR: What a blend of tennis
:02:44. > :02:50.he produces. When he's out there feeling clear, he's remarkable. He's
:02:51. > :02:53.just remarkable. We see how he got on, in the second game of the first
:02:54. > :03:01.set, Djokovic tried to challenge a line call but was denied by the
:03:02. > :03:05.umpire, who said it was a too late. In the very next point, Djokovic
:03:06. > :03:16.challenged again. He was allowed this time.
:03:17. > :03:19.UMPIRE: Mr Djokovic is challenging the call on the right near side
:03:20. > :03:40.line. The ball was called out. This is what Djokovic thought of the
:03:41. > :03:46.umpire. It wasn't a late call. It wasn't a late call? No, it's right
:03:47. > :03:49.here. He hit the ball here, no chance to get. It that's two points
:03:50. > :03:55.in a row. Beginning of the match. Focus, please. Yeah, I am. Yeah,
:03:56. > :03:58.yeah you are. That exchange must have unsettled
:03:59. > :04:06.Djokovic. He was broken in the very next game.
:04:07. > :04:11.Ernesto Gulbis starting really well. We head back into the match in the
:04:12. > :04:14.eighth game of the first set. Gulbis is serving. Let's see if Djokovic
:04:15. > :04:29.has regained his composure. COMMENTATOR: And the back spun
:04:30. > :04:35.return off a big first serve brings Djokovic the first point. We look
:04:36. > :04:39.for signs of a lack of belief in Gulbis at any stage. That ball will
:04:40. > :04:50.react differently now, zipping through a little bit. (
:04:51. > :04:59.Oh, yes. That's the best shot he's hit today, no question. You see that
:05:00. > :05:05.first return skid a little bit, cause the error. Now he's trying to
:05:06. > :05:08.get himself back in business here. A real message to the other guy. That
:05:09. > :05:32.I'm upping up a notch. UMPIRE: Mr Gulbis is challenging the
:05:33. > :05:38.call the right baseline, the ball was called out. Should definitely
:05:39. > :05:43.not let these guys look up at their box and decide whether they should
:05:44. > :05:47.challenge based on what they see. Then he's mad at him because they
:05:48. > :05:49.tell him not to challenge, but he doesn't see that. You're like,
:05:50. > :05:57."What? Doesn't matter any way. Should be an immediate challenge or
:05:58. > :06:20.no challenge. JOHN MCENROE: You have two clocks
:06:21. > :06:24.out there, one for challenges, a time clock for between points.
:06:25. > :06:31.He didn't take much time for this forehand to go from one end to the
:06:32. > :06:33.other. That's the leg strength John was
:06:34. > :07:23.talking about. UMPIRE: Game Djokovic. Third double
:07:24. > :07:26.fault for the match. STUDIO: The roar from Djokovic
:07:27. > :07:33.confirming that he had broken back. He went on to do so again. He closed
:07:34. > :07:42.out the first set, winning it 6-4 in 43 minutes. Andre doing a convincing
:07:43. > :07:50.impression of a Jedi. Novak was feeling the force. Novak Djokovic
:07:51. > :07:57.raced into a 4-0 lead in the second set. Gulbis handing him a second
:07:58. > :08:00.break with a double fault. And Boris, generally, in the second set
:08:01. > :08:06.in particular, Novak looked very impressive. It almost feels like the
:08:07. > :08:11.umpire triggered some old emotions, some positive aggressiveness that he
:08:12. > :08:17.was shying away from in the last 12 months. He won nine games in a row.
:08:18. > :08:21.Maybe, thankful to the umpire. Sometimes it takes something like
:08:22. > :08:28.that to just sharpen you up and wake you up. Many people thought Gulbis
:08:29. > :08:32.could provide him a close challenge. Clearly, Gulbis was struggling a
:08:33. > :08:39.bit. Just watch Djokovic close this set out.
:08:40. > :09:03.An ace does it. So second set done and dusted. As I say Gulbis was
:09:04. > :09:10.struggling a little bit. He called for the trainer. He received some
:09:11. > :09:14.treatment on his back. But he did get up. This looks very painful
:09:15. > :09:21.actually. He hasn't played in a while. Hasn't won a match in 13
:09:22. > :09:26.months. To come through two matches, it's going to affect your body.
:09:27. > :09:33.He carried on and there was some great tennis in the third set. The
:09:34. > :09:37.physio had done his work because Gulbis was moving much, much better
:09:38. > :09:42.and forced Djokovic into a third set tie-breaker. That is where we pick
:09:43. > :09:44.it up again. Boris in the commentary box with John McEnroe and Andrew
:09:45. > :10:03.Castle. JOHN MCENROE: It's a perfect example
:10:04. > :10:07.of great players making their opponents hitting that kind of ball.
:10:08. > :10:12.It's certainly makeable. BORIS BECKER: Said it earlier, that
:10:13. > :10:15.in a while we haven't seen Novak that engaged in a third round match.
:10:16. > :10:45.You see what it means to him. He's engaged! That was a lovely note
:10:46. > :10:50.that he held there, I thought. Certainly prepared to share his
:10:51. > :10:55.emotions. He hasn't always felt as loved and adored as Federer and
:10:56. > :10:58.Nadal. Is that fair to say? It's a difficult competition. You're
:10:59. > :11:03.talking about two of the most respected and loved and adored ever.
:11:04. > :11:06.Did it bother him? I think it matters to him. I think it's
:11:07. > :11:14.important for him to be respected, ideally loved. But over the last
:11:15. > :11:20.couple of years, he feels like he's getting the respect he deserves.
:11:21. > :11:26.That's probably because he's lost a couple of matches lately. Makes him
:11:27. > :11:27.more human. Quite an accomplishment to be talked about in the same
:11:28. > :13:14.league as those two. UMPIRE: Game, set, match, Djokovic.
:13:15. > :13:18.A very accomplished performance from a break of serve down, remember, in
:13:19. > :13:27.the first set. Novak Djokovic is into the second week here at the
:13:28. > :13:33.Championships for the tenth time. He really looks like he fancies this.
:13:34. > :13:44.I'm delighted with the performance today. I thought I raised the level
:13:45. > :13:48.of tennis, you know, comparing to the first couple of matches, the
:13:49. > :13:54.last couple of weeks, I think this was the most focussed I was on the
:13:55. > :13:57.court. Obviously, at the right time because Gulbis presents a great
:13:58. > :14:01.challenge, because he's very unpredictable. He's got a huge
:14:02. > :14:04.serve. Just in general I'm very pleased with the way I've felt, with
:14:05. > :14:07.the way I've played and I'm glad that the crowd enjoyed it. In the
:14:08. > :14:11.first set you spoke to the umpire. You used the word that he had to
:14:12. > :14:15.focus after a couple of misread points. That's two points in a row.
:14:16. > :14:20.Beginning of the match, focus, please. How difficult and unsettling
:14:21. > :14:25.is that and how important is it not to get to you? Well, I think he's
:14:26. > :14:30.probably frustrated with me saying that. Maybe it was not the right
:14:31. > :14:37.word to say, I apologise, but it was very odd that in the third game of
:14:38. > :14:40.the match two situations where I thought the call should have been
:14:41. > :14:49.different. Again, he's trying to do his job the best he can. I am too.
:14:50. > :14:54.Sometimes in the heat of the moment, you exchange things. I think we'll
:14:55. > :15:00.be fine. STUDIO: Interesting that the word he
:15:01. > :15:03.shouted was "focus" then afterwards, Djokovic found his focus. He
:15:04. > :15:07.projected and it worked. Sometimes you need - tennis is a fiery game.
:15:08. > :15:10.You need to be on fire emotionally, whether you show it or not, inside
:15:11. > :15:16.it's got to be burning. He hasn't been burning for a while. Today the
:15:17. > :15:20.fuse was lit. It's good to see. Anything could happen now. Bar race,
:15:21. > :15:25.he's -- Boris, he's certainly good enough to win here again. He's done
:15:26. > :15:29.it three times already. We felt the last 12 months really the passion
:15:30. > :15:34.element, that really set him apart from the rest, that fighting under
:15:35. > :15:37.difficult circumstances that for some reason disappeared. It came
:15:38. > :15:40.back in a third-round match at Wimbledon. That's the worrying part
:15:41. > :15:45.for the rest of the field. We always knew he could play. We felt the lack
:15:46. > :15:49.of passion almost. That's the big news today. When he told the umpire
:15:50. > :15:53.focus, indeed he was talking to himself. He said in the press
:15:54. > :15:58.conference, he said I know Boris has said my passion is back and he's
:15:59. > :16:03.right. He's right. He spoke very fondly of you. It seems like this is
:16:04. > :16:06.the most amicable parting of a team that's ever happened. A friendly
:16:07. > :16:11.divorced. They both still love each other. No, no we do. When you work
:16:12. > :16:15.with somebody so close together for three years, I've been with him more
:16:16. > :16:21.than with my wife - I mean during the day! You didn't have to qualify
:16:22. > :16:29.that. You get really personal with each other. For me to understand him
:16:30. > :16:33.better I have to know where he's at in these times, in a Grand Slam
:16:34. > :16:37.final, you really have to be everything. And for me to coach the
:16:38. > :16:44.right way, he has to be open. So there's a big sense of loyalty and
:16:45. > :16:47.respect. We may be professionally no longer working together but I love
:16:48. > :16:51.the guy. And you want him to win. Of course. Who would he face next? The
:16:52. > :16:55.answer was going to be a Frenchman, would it be Gael Monfils, who
:16:56. > :16:58.knocked out Kyle Edmund last time or Adrian Mannarino who nearly knocked
:16:59. > :17:02.over a ball boy and got fined for it. This one went to five sets and
:17:03. > :17:45.it's the unseeded Mannarino who has the upper hand as we join it now.
:17:46. > :18:00.Oh, that is absolutely sublime! He had no right to hit that shot.
:18:01. > :18:46.He's done it. Fortune favours the brave. Adrian Mannarino, for the
:18:47. > :18:53.second time, into the Fourth Round at Wimbledon, after three hours 31
:18:54. > :18:57.minutes of pulsiating tennis. STUDIO: So the 15th seed Gael
:18:58. > :19:01.Monfils has gone. Adrian Mannarino will be the one who faces Novak
:19:02. > :19:05.Djokovic next. Not for the first time, Boris. No, they played last
:19:06. > :19:09.year in the very first round. Novak was defending champion. A lot of
:19:10. > :19:16.respect to Mannarino, very awkward player on grass, almost old school
:19:17. > :19:20.type tennis. He very deservedly gets into the Fourth Round, a difficult
:19:21. > :19:26.opponent for Novak. In the age of Roger, Rafa and Andy Murray, here at
:19:27. > :19:28.Wimbledon hugely popular, do you think Novak feels he's having to
:19:29. > :19:33.fight too hard to get people to like him? Absolutely. He wants that love.
:19:34. > :19:36.The more you want it and the more the crowd knows it the less likely
:19:37. > :19:40.they are to give it to you. It's a bit of a struggle. I know I didn't
:19:41. > :19:43.feel it during my career until the end of my career. He will get it
:19:44. > :19:46.eventually. I feel that he should be getting more than he's getting. Like
:19:47. > :19:51.I said, when you ask for it, you ain't going to get it. No but he's,
:19:52. > :19:55.got respect of the other players. When you look at his route to the
:19:56. > :20:04.final, plenty of those players will be looking at him thinking, uh-oh.
:20:05. > :20:08.It's Thiem or Berdych in the quarter final, assuming Roger and Raonic
:20:09. > :20:15.keeps going. It's one or other of them, according to rankings. When
:20:16. > :20:18.you're in his team, do you talk about upcoming players, or is it
:20:19. > :20:21.strictly one match at a time? Literally the next practice. I
:20:22. > :20:26.wouldn't talk today about the Monday match. I'd talk today about the
:20:27. > :20:31.practice on Sunday, depending on the opponent on Monday. They are looking
:20:32. > :20:36.for a lefty now, there are not many left in the field. It's not, we're
:20:37. > :20:42.not looking ahead. I'm available. Exactly! It's literally about the
:20:43. > :20:46.next practice. I mention Dominic Thiem. He has been out on court
:20:47. > :20:52.until fairly late. His match finished about the same time as
:20:53. > :20:58.Roger Federer's. He was playing Jarrod Donaldson. This was a
:20:59. > :21:03.relatively straightforward exercise for Thiem, who disproves the theory
:21:04. > :21:07.that there's no I in team, because in his name there is! Do you think
:21:08. > :21:12.this might be his moment to step up? Everybody says he's the next big
:21:13. > :21:15.thing, him and Alex Zverev. He said grass is his least favourite
:21:16. > :21:18.surface. The way he's playing and the way he has improved, he can play
:21:19. > :21:22.on this surface. You have to adapt your strokes. He has loopy shots,
:21:23. > :21:26.especially on the forehand. He can adapt that. He's a strong guy. Great
:21:27. > :21:30.athlete. No reason why he can't play great on this surface, like Nadal.
:21:31. > :21:33.It wasn't his favourite surface either until he won it. The way the
:21:34. > :21:40.grass is playing, it gives those guys a chance. You're an expert now,
:21:41. > :21:45.seriously. I'm listening! Yes, it plays higher this year. Higher
:21:46. > :21:49.bounce because of the hot weather. The grass is burnt, it's nobody's
:21:50. > :21:52.fault. It's been 35 degrees two, three weeks before the tournament.
:21:53. > :21:56.That plays in the hand of the baseliners who like to rally longer.
:21:57. > :22:02.Thiem is one of them. It's going to be an exciting men's Championship.
:22:03. > :22:05.Until last night's late night fright that Andy Murray gave us, the best
:22:06. > :22:10.matches on Centre Court were the women's matches. We were expecting
:22:11. > :22:18.big things from Agnieszka Radwanska and Timea Bacsinszky. Let's bring
:22:19. > :22:25.you the story of their match. Tennis is part art, part science. It
:22:26. > :22:30.demands expertise in geometry, psychology, ballistics, statistics.
:22:31. > :22:33.Just as well they call Agnieszka Radwanska the professor, such is her
:22:34. > :22:39.grasp of her sport's curriculum, her skill in all its disciplines. She is
:22:40. > :22:42.a junior Wimbledon champion and yet strangely never graduated to full
:22:43. > :22:52.honours. Might that now be corrected. Against Timea Bacsinszky
:22:53. > :22:58.it's no gimme. The 19th seed broke immediately, Radwanska replied. But
:22:59. > :23:03.the Polish woman had never beaten Bacsinszky. In game five, the
:23:04. > :23:08.professor miscalculated. COMMENTATOR: Bacsinszky breaks
:23:09. > :23:15.again. For the encore, she seized the set.
:23:16. > :23:20.COMMENTATOR: Bacsinszky has the first set. Such backhanded
:23:21. > :23:24.brilliance had put Bacsinszky in charge. She'd also spent two hours
:23:25. > :23:28.less on court this week than her opponent. Radwanska's problem to
:23:29. > :23:32.solve. COMMENTATOR: Another magnificent
:23:33. > :23:37.backhand. Of all the women in the main draw, only Venus Williams has
:23:38. > :23:47.more wins on grass than Radwanska. She'd find solutions.
:23:48. > :23:53.COMMENTATOR: Two break points for Radwanska. Bacsinszky's serve was
:23:54. > :24:23.broken, but not her spirit. Not an inch given. Not a point surrendered.
:24:24. > :24:30.COMMENTATOR: I'm really enjoying this contest. Exhilirating to watch,
:24:31. > :24:35.but exhausting to play. Having lost the set, Bacsinszky's body creeked.
:24:36. > :24:39.An injured thigh meant she couldn't keep up with the ever rising
:24:40. > :24:41.standard. Instead she became an ununwilling volunteer in a master
:24:42. > :24:49.class. COMMENTATOR: Oh, perfect! Absolutely
:24:50. > :24:54.flying now. A late Bacsinszky break was purely academic. The end was
:24:55. > :24:58.coming. COMMENTATOR: That's wide. And
:24:59. > :25:06.Radwanska is through to the second week at Wimbledon. Class dismissed.
:25:07. > :25:09.I've been on the Centre Court a couple of times before, I really was
:25:10. > :25:12.feeling all the time very good and playing really good matches. Here as
:25:13. > :25:16.well, today, I think it was a great match. When you dare, you fight it
:25:17. > :25:20.to the last point. The first two sets were so tense and
:25:21. > :25:26.then Bacsinszky got injured. That was such a shame. I think the leg
:25:27. > :25:31.went on her in the second set. She was a little humbled. You don't get
:25:32. > :25:35.leg tape like that unless it's bothering. The third set was a
:25:36. > :25:40.formate. She was playing well. She's got her confidence back. You can't
:25:41. > :25:42.control your body. Generally speaking, what have you thought
:25:43. > :25:47.about the quality of women's matches in the first week? It's been
:25:48. > :25:51.interesting because it's been so wide-open. Nobody's really come to
:25:52. > :25:54.the fore and say OK, I'm here to take it. But at the same time, there
:25:55. > :26:03.are a lot of players still with a chance to win and some have played
:26:04. > :26:08.really good tennis, Garcia, Muguruza today. Kerber as well. Didn't see
:26:09. > :26:12.much of Halep to say one way or the other. Venus Williams must like her
:26:13. > :26:16.chances. I mean she's the only former champion here. She's healthy
:26:17. > :26:21.and looking very well. She's the only one who knows how to do it. The
:26:22. > :26:26.top seed and she was runner up last year is Angelique Kerber. Let's look
:26:27. > :26:46.at the best bits from her match with Shelby Rogers.
:26:47. > :27:01.COMMENTATOR: Great disguise. Terrific drop shot. Completely
:27:02. > :27:04.caught Kerber by surprise. Listen to the crowd's reaction.
:27:05. > :27:06.They've been sensing that this could be a surprise right from the word
:27:07. > :27:35.go. Ah, great tennis! Terrific point.
:27:36. > :27:37.Kerber was completely out this afternoon point, but two, maybe
:27:38. > :27:58.three times but she found a way. Not good enough. Not good enough for
:27:59. > :28:19.her, Angelique Kerber. Couldn't get to it, Rogers.
:28:20. > :29:09.Terrific point. Here are two match points for the
:29:10. > :29:18.number one seed. APPLAUSE
:29:19. > :29:32.What a response. Oh, it's long! And Kerber is
:29:33. > :29:45.through. And the crowd stand for both of
:29:46. > :29:52.them. It has been a wonderful contest. And somehow, she is still
:29:53. > :29:59.in the championship that she must be wondering quite a while. Kerber is
:30:00. > :30:04.recovering from a set and a break down to win this match, could match
:30:05. > :30:10.like that reignite her season? Absolutely, she was down 0-30 in the
:30:11. > :30:14.second set so a great fightback, I have seen more firepower from her
:30:15. > :30:20.and her forehand down the line seems to be picking. She is to passive and
:30:21. > :30:26.she knows that but the fire is there. She is more positive during
:30:27. > :30:31.the match and is playing more positive tennis. It is about time
:30:32. > :30:37.that Germany had another women's winner? Yes, Lizzy Caoimhe
:30:38. > :30:43.semi-finals, they were knocking at the door loudly and the Germans were
:30:44. > :30:48.very harsh with. To have another German number one, it has been a
:30:49. > :30:54.long time. But we very get used to winning. She tries her best, she
:30:55. > :30:59.works hard, she has no attitude, she does not carry her nose high, but we
:31:00. > :31:04.are worried she was stuck in the same form as last year and the
:31:05. > :31:09.competition has started to read your game. Maybe she needs a super coach,
:31:10. > :31:18.Martina! Why are you looking at me? I don't speak German! I think she is
:31:19. > :31:24.in good hands. We will see. And she is lefty. You are a lefty. I am
:31:25. > :31:29.asking you from the German people! We will leave that discussion! It
:31:30. > :31:42.might happen and it started here! Serena Williams... I would think so,
:31:43. > :31:49.I am a great baby-sitter. I'm not sure she agrees. She has told me
:31:50. > :31:54.some set rules that I am not allowed to do that I usually do, I usually
:31:55. > :31:59.have candy around the house. That is not allowed any more, I am trying to
:32:00. > :32:04.follow her rules but we will see. The question was, do you think
:32:05. > :32:06.Serena Williams will make the honorary anti Fur Caroline
:32:07. > :32:18.Wozniacki? She has offered baby-sitting services! -- aunt for.
:32:19. > :32:23.Mischa Zverev joked that the only way he could beat Roger Federer was
:32:24. > :32:25.to give him a very mean stare at the beginning of the match. Let us see
:32:26. > :32:38.if that worked. You talk about little steps and
:32:39. > :32:57.getting into position. Roger, the Australian Open champion,
:32:58. > :33:02.keeps on reaching milestones, his 10,000th ace here at Wimbledon.
:33:03. > :33:06.Middle Saturday, some of the big names in sport are watching. This
:33:07. > :33:12.match, the old generation against the new generation. And Boris and
:33:13. > :33:19.Martina, use are plenty of this match. Zverev played very well but
:33:20. > :33:24.Roger was sensational? He served and followed more than usual, trying to
:33:25. > :33:29.take the ball away from the dead. One of the classic players but Roger
:33:30. > :33:34.Federer had too much came for him. That is how we used to play tennis
:33:35. > :33:40.on the grass, chipping and charging. It is possible but having said that,
:33:41. > :33:45.I had a feeling that Roger is still holding back a little. He is just
:33:46. > :33:50.doing enough. The first half was spectacular but in the second round,
:33:51. > :33:53.today, he is cruising, he knows how good he is at the moment. I have
:33:54. > :34:03.seen him play better and more dominant. Isn't that a credible --
:34:04. > :34:15.and incredibly clever thing to do? Yes, he doesn't need to jump higher
:34:16. > :34:20.than he does. Let us hear from him. Congratulations, three sets in under
:34:21. > :34:24.two hours, Mischa Zverev threw everything at you but you had him
:34:25. > :34:29.ducking for cover, United? I thought it was a good, fun match to play. He
:34:30. > :34:33.will always see some blogs and passing shots and drop shots and
:34:34. > :34:38.everything. I thought it was nice to see that again and the crowds were
:34:39. > :34:43.unbelievable and he has a great guy and we fed off one another and it
:34:44. > :34:47.was a great match. I am very happy. Grigor Dimitrov in the next round,
:34:48. > :34:52.he has been likened to you in the past but has never managed to beat
:34:53. > :34:56.you in the five times you have met. Tough prospect? Every time I play
:34:57. > :35:00.him he is stronger than before because he is the perfect age where
:35:01. > :35:05.he strives to understand his game, he is physically strong. Mentally he
:35:06. > :35:10.took the next step again, what you'd expect from a player of his calibre
:35:11. > :35:14.and age and he had a Great Run in Australia, almost beaten Rafer Nadal
:35:15. > :35:17.in the semifinals so we could almost have played in the finals in
:35:18. > :35:23.Australia. I am ready for a tough one and it will be exciting because
:35:24. > :35:28.he is a great shotmaker. Well done. And he gives a lovely smile. Isn't
:35:29. > :35:34.that a gorgeous sunset! Roger only needs to do what he needs to do. But
:35:35. > :35:39.he did come up with some fabulous shots? He plays a very controlled
:35:40. > :35:44.game. He knows exactly what he wants to do, it sometimes doesn't work and
:35:45. > :35:48.I always felt that against Zverev today he was a little bit better.
:35:49. > :35:56.Whenever he had to put more horsepower in, he did. He is 35, he
:35:57. > :36:01.is pacing himself. He knows when to attack and accelerate and went to
:36:02. > :36:07.cruise. That is a fair point, Martina, you carried on playing for
:36:08. > :36:13.a long time, you have to take a poll. If you don't need to run,
:36:14. > :36:18.don't! Don't use any more emotional or physical energy, you want to win
:36:19. > :36:22.playing your game, straightforward, you want to try out some things when
:36:23. > :36:27.you get ahead and with Roger playing somebody like Misha Zverev, it was
:36:28. > :36:32.like cat and mouse, whatever he might throw at Roger, he can take
:36:33. > :36:36.that, he can dish it out even more so. It was a fun match for Roger to
:36:37. > :36:40.play, he likes to be challenged and playing somebody with a different
:36:41. > :36:44.style but yes, you want to play as well as you need to. You don't need
:36:45. > :36:47.a different style but yes, you want to play as well as you need to. You
:36:48. > :36:50.don't need to jump any higher, then however high that fence is. Then buy
:36:51. > :36:56.as much as you need to. His brother, Alex, was in action, against
:36:57. > :36:58.Sebastien Esther. Trying to get through to the last 16. Let's have a
:36:59. > :37:38.look. -- Sebastien Ofner. Some lovely tennis being played.
:37:39. > :37:43.6-4, 6-4, 6-2. Sebastien was the surprise package and Zverev go to
:37:44. > :37:49.play last year 's runner-up, Milos Raonic. What kind of match will that
:37:50. > :37:53.we? Just checking that is correct! Milos Raonic is one of the biggest
:37:54. > :38:01.servers in the game and came within one point to beating Roger, Roger
:38:02. > :38:07.came to within one point. I think you might have had a hiccup since,
:38:08. > :38:10.but he is starting to play better again and money is coming to terms
:38:11. > :38:15.with the fact that he needs to be more aggressive and is getting more
:38:16. > :38:23.comfortable with it. That big serve is working, 21 aces and 138 mph
:38:24. > :38:28.second serve! Are you kidding? One of the stories I thought was
:38:29. > :38:34.fabulous in the first week was little Dudi Sela, beating John
:38:35. > :38:39.Isner, but that took it out of him. He was up against Grigor Dimitrov
:38:40. > :38:43.and the 2014 Queen's champion, hugely popular, cruising through
:38:44. > :38:58.slightly under the radar this year. But watch this for a shot.
:38:59. > :39:12.Another great rally. Sela into the net. And Dimitrov had taken the
:39:13. > :39:17.first set 6-1, he followed up by taking the second 6-1, the trainer
:39:18. > :39:22.came out to look at Sela and the curse struck again, he retired, the
:39:23. > :39:28.ninth man to have to retire hurt during a match. But all smiles. And
:39:29. > :39:33.Dimitrov will not complain at all! Catching up of other matches, Jo
:39:34. > :39:37.Wilfried Tsonga came out today, he had deserved to stay in the match
:39:38. > :39:42.against Sam Querrey and the same as at the French Open, he was broken
:39:43. > :39:46.immediately and he went out. Sam Parry upset no vote Djokovic at this
:39:47. > :39:56.stage last year. Dominic Thiem into the last 16 for the first time, the
:39:57. > :40:01.rising star of the men's game. Tomas Berdych and David Ferrer, with a
:40:02. > :40:07.combined age of 66 for that match... Tomas Berdych coming out in straight
:40:08. > :40:16.sets. We can wrap up other matches with Phil Jones. Caroline Wozniacki
:40:17. > :40:20.has been a world number one, Grand Slam finalist, junior champion here
:40:21. > :40:24.and says she is a lover of grass. The mystery remains why the popular
:40:25. > :40:29.Danish player hasn't reached the quarterfinal in the women's singles
:40:30. > :40:32.at Wimbledon. Estonian Anett Kontaveit was not about to solve the
:40:33. > :40:36.mystery in the first set of stunning power hitting on Court Number One.
:40:37. > :40:41.Sure-footed or not, it was coming off for the unseeded 21-year-old and
:40:42. > :40:47.she took the first set. Before twice serving for the match in the second.
:40:48. > :40:51.But Caroline Wozniacki is a competitor. Surrender was not in her
:40:52. > :40:56.game plan. This was sweet Caroline and she levelled matters in the
:40:57. > :41:02.tie-break. Before hitting her potent potential into the decider to win in
:41:03. > :41:10.three. Don't expect this cocoa to calm you down before bed. Vandeweghe
:41:11. > :41:14.is last 16 opponent after another bold and brilliant bashing of Alison
:41:15. > :41:20.risk. Cocoa and cash, into big number two. Svetlana Kuznetsova has
:41:21. > :41:23.avoided the searchlights, a stealthy journey in the Wimbledon shadows for
:41:24. > :41:28.the seventh-seeded Russian of Grand Slam winning pedigree who beat
:41:29. > :41:33.Paloma Herzog in little more than one hour. Petra Martic is a Croatian
:41:34. > :41:39.qualifier and is just one win away from the last eight after downing
:41:40. > :41:44.the wildcard, Diyas of Kazakhstan. The player from split is clearly a
:41:45. > :41:48.woman of grit. The win sets up a non-seeded contest on Monday against
:41:49. > :41:52.Magdalena Rybarikova, one of the stories of the grass court season.
:41:53. > :41:59.The Slovakian was out seven miles through injury last year but the big
:42:00. > :42:08.tournament favourite Discover last round, and the Ukrainian Sri Lankan.
:42:09. > :42:12.Garbine Muguruza was runner-up in two years ago, French Open champion
:42:13. > :42:18.last year and is displaying signs of recapturing her heady days. She
:42:19. > :42:21.drunk just four games to go Mania's Sorana Cirstea as she strolled into
:42:22. > :42:27.a mouthwatering Monday match against the world number one, Angelique
:42:28. > :42:34.Kerber. She has got that contented air of a contender. McGrath is
:42:35. > :42:44.particularly interesting in terms of a major contender. -- Muguruza. She
:42:45. > :42:48.seems to be playing more relaxed tennis, she played really well today
:42:49. > :42:51.and also go up after this match so one of the former finalists will not
:42:52. > :42:57.be in the finals again so she seems to be playing much better, relaxed.
:42:58. > :43:02.I don't know how much the fact that Conchita Martinez is her coach, I
:43:03. > :43:09.think it maybe has taken some pressure off. I think his wife has a
:43:10. > :43:16.child coming. Mugurza has been talking about the impact of Conchita
:43:17. > :43:21.Martinez, the last Spanish woman to win Wimbledon, on her preparation
:43:22. > :43:26.through this Wimbledon. Yes, of course you knows how to play here. I
:43:27. > :43:31.think she has a lot of experience and that is hard to find, somebody
:43:32. > :43:35.who has been in your shoes and can tell you, I have been there, I know
:43:36. > :43:40.what it feels like, you have to do this and this and it will be better.
:43:41. > :43:44.This works, these words have a meaning because she is saying this,
:43:45. > :43:49.it is for her reasons and it is great to have her in the team. It is
:43:50. > :43:55.not just about how you play? It is about the mental aspect as well but
:43:56. > :43:59.she can bring? It is more of that. I think the tennis, I feel good, I
:44:00. > :44:03.have been working for a long time and in those moments, like in the
:44:04. > :44:07.Grand Slam, the mental details on the key part. I was listening to
:44:08. > :44:11.Billie Jean King talking about this in reference to Jo Konta, going to
:44:12. > :44:14.the emotional office and sorting out the business and with lots of
:44:15. > :44:18.players, that is what makes the difference? So much of the game is
:44:19. > :44:23.played between the years and you have to have the confidence to
:44:24. > :44:28.impart that plan, whatever that may be. I am sure that a lot of the
:44:29. > :44:35.coaches tell the players the right thing, it is not just what you say,
:44:36. > :44:38.it is who says it. Players have a tendency to listen to people who
:44:39. > :44:41.have been there. You might be telling me the right thing but I am
:44:42. > :44:47.going to listen to Boris! And I think that is what she was saying,
:44:48. > :44:51.Conchita knows what she is talking about so you pay attention. It
:44:52. > :44:55.worked for her. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. Just pay
:44:56. > :44:59.attention to what people say that know what they are talking about and
:45:00. > :45:03.hopefully implement that. She has got the talent. There was no British
:45:04. > :45:09.interest in the singles but plenty in the doubles. We can catch up on a
:45:10. > :45:12.little bit of that because we saw the Jamie Murray has teamed up with
:45:13. > :45:22.Bettina Hingis in the Mixed Doubles and they won their match 6-3, 6-0.
:45:23. > :45:37.And Jamie Murray has bagged a very good partner. Heather Watson and
:45:38. > :45:41.Naomi Broady three sets to Kirsten Flipkens they are part of the
:45:42. > :45:44.women's doubles and there was a double defeat for Naomi Broady as
:45:45. > :46:00.she and her brother, Liam Broady, also lost. They lost 6-4, 7-5. To
:46:01. > :46:04.the Czech duo. This was a developing story and you might have seen this
:46:05. > :46:08.much earlier on BBC Two. Marcus Willis, the man who played Roger
:46:09. > :46:12.Federer on Centre Court in singles last year, teamed up with
:46:13. > :46:17.18-year-old Jay Clarke from Derby for the doubles, they lost the first
:46:18. > :46:25.set, winning the next two and in the fifth, they knocked out the reigning
:46:26. > :46:31.champions, Herbert and Nicolas Mahut. Winning that 6-3. That is a
:46:32. > :46:35.huge victory for Willis and Clarke. There is some excitement in terms of
:46:36. > :46:40.who to look out for next in the age after Andy Murray, whenever that
:46:41. > :46:43.comes. Could it be 16-year-old Aidan McHugh? His 17th birthday tomorrow,
:46:44. > :46:50.before the Championships he was practising with the world number
:46:51. > :46:54.one. And he is very good at encouraging younger players. The
:46:55. > :47:02.real next generation. He is in the Boys' Singles and he came back from
:47:03. > :47:08.two breaks down to beat the American Ross 6-2, six 74. And he is coached
:47:09. > :47:11.by Toby Smith, the Davis cup captain Leon Smith's brother. When you look
:47:12. > :47:16.at those who have won the Boys' Singles titles here, some of the
:47:17. > :47:19.great names, Roger Federer, Stefan Edberg, Bjorn Borg, but Boris
:47:20. > :47:25.Becker, he went straight for the main thing! Sticking with the
:47:26. > :47:28.British players, Jo Konta is up against Caroline Garcia on Monday
:47:29. > :47:34.and it could be Azarenka of Halep in the quarterfinals. We don't want to
:47:35. > :47:38.get ahead of ourselves. Joe has been speaking to Jonathan overland. It
:47:39. > :47:43.might have been four years since the Brits last saw her ladies champion
:47:44. > :47:48.crowned on the hallowed turf but this year, it is all about the
:47:49. > :47:52.tournament favourite, Johanna Konta. Regardless of who she might face on
:47:53. > :48:03.her side of the draw, it seems like is no stopping her. Can she really
:48:04. > :48:13.reach the final next week? Us British would love it. Just imagine,
:48:14. > :48:21.the correlation of the new pearly Queen of SW19. Do you feel a genuine
:48:22. > :48:24.contender at this time to win the title? I believe every single woman
:48:25. > :48:28.in the draw is a contender, I include myself in that group and you
:48:29. > :48:35.will see some great matches on Monday and I think it obviously will
:48:36. > :48:42.get more narrow as to who will be the champion. Do you ever dream of
:48:43. > :48:46.playing the Wimbledon final? I think every player dreams of playing in
:48:47. > :48:52.grand slam finals. What about you? I am a player as well so I include
:48:53. > :48:54.myself in that category. I think that growing up you dream about
:48:55. > :49:02.being the best player in the world, I dream about that. There is time
:49:03. > :49:07.for dreaming and time to keep in mind the work that you have to put
:49:08. > :49:11.in and definitely here, with the intention of wanting to make it a
:49:12. > :49:14.full two weeks, I am preparing the best that I can and training the
:49:15. > :49:17.best that I can and competing the best that I can. I do not think that
:49:18. > :49:22.the feelings will be any different, I will definitely be looking forward
:49:23. > :49:30.to playing my next round on Monday. Right now, between now and then, it
:49:31. > :49:34.will be to switch off as best I can. It will be a long Sunday for Jo
:49:35. > :49:39.Konta. Even if you do not want to think about it, you have to.
:49:40. > :49:44.Martina, what is your advice? Is he ready to make that big step? She
:49:45. > :49:48.never got to the second week. Step one is accomplished, it is now about
:49:49. > :49:51.the next match. With a woman it is tough because they play Monday and
:49:52. > :49:57.Tuesday, she has a tough match against Garcia, so relax and do not
:49:58. > :50:09.stress and tried to cross the teaser. The eyes.
:50:10. > :50:20.-- dot the Is. She is the one player who can go home. I always had my own
:50:21. > :50:24.pillow. And she is used to home cooking. It is about handling the
:50:25. > :50:28.pressure. Hopefully she will get better sleep than other players. At
:50:29. > :50:33.the end of the day, it is whoever who can play to win. Who does not
:50:34. > :50:36.shy away from the pressure and embraces that moment. She is
:50:37. > :50:41.probably talking more than any of the others about the mental side of
:50:42. > :50:45.things. She has done a lot of work on that over a number of years. She
:50:46. > :50:51.had a psychologist and it really changed her career. About two years
:50:52. > :50:55.ago she was an average player, with all respect, and all of a sudden
:50:56. > :51:01.something kicked in and she became his superstar, almost. Pretty much
:51:02. > :51:07.overnight. And it is mainly because of the psychology. It is what you
:51:08. > :51:12.said, it is between the ears, you have to hit that 30, 40, when it
:51:13. > :51:18.matters. That is the big difference between winning and losing. In your
:51:19. > :51:27.opinion, can she win it? Of course she can. There is no reason she
:51:28. > :51:32.cannot. There is no reason, her back, she is injured, no, everything
:51:33. > :51:36.is working. And all of those 16 players left will be thinking, I
:51:37. > :51:40.can't do this. It is pretty much that. I do not know if I could
:51:41. > :51:45.single any player out, that there is no way this player can win. Just
:51:46. > :51:53.about everyone. Ostapenko, unseeded, she plays to win. Maybe she will
:51:54. > :52:09.give some collective confidence to the locker room. Maybe I can do it,
:52:10. > :52:16.also. You like Coco? I do, I do. And your growth. Konta. They have big
:52:17. > :52:17.serves and big weapons and when things go their way they can control
:52:18. > :52:30.the match. Gustav. And today's Shot of the Day comes
:52:31. > :52:42.from the Frenchman who guarantees entertainment.
:52:43. > :52:53.If there isn't the shot of the tournament so far, I do not know
:52:54. > :52:59.what is. Wheel spin! He is such a showman, I am sad he is not in this
:53:00. > :53:03.any more, Monfils. Want to watch. That is partly the problem, he loves
:53:04. > :53:08.to be the showman and you want to be the show man because you want to see
:53:09. > :53:16.the shot of the day, but he lost, and ultimately in tennis ages who
:53:17. > :53:21.wins the last point. A bit like Fabio Fognini, does this add up to
:53:22. > :53:23.winning a match? Not as far as that match is concerned because Andy
:53:24. > :53:32.Murray came through in four sets and he now faces Paire and he has been
:53:33. > :53:40.talking to Russell Fuller. We have only played once before and that was
:53:41. > :53:43.in Monte Carlo last year and it was very strange, he served for the
:53:44. > :53:48.match in the third set and I managed to come back and win that. It was a
:53:49. > :53:53.huge match. It was a turning point in my season, I had struggled since
:53:54. > :53:58.the Australian Open, until the clay-court season. When I got
:53:59. > :54:04.through that match I started to feel a lot better. I played some really
:54:05. > :54:08.good tennis. After that. But I have never played him on the grass and I
:54:09. > :54:13.have not seen him play lots on the grass. But he has got a big game, he
:54:14. > :54:20.serves well. Great backhand, great touch. So there should be some fun
:54:21. > :54:23.points. There are standard players and players where you do not know
:54:24. > :54:28.what to expect and Andy Murray has had the ones you don't know what to
:54:29. > :54:34.expect every single time. He has a strange looking forehand but big
:54:35. > :54:36.weapons on all sides. He can hit through you and around you, he is a
:54:37. > :54:55.tricky opponent. CAR WHEELS SQUEAL. That sounded very
:54:56. > :55:00.fast! 16 names, just big two names who either potential champions. You
:55:01. > :55:07.are making this difficult, the player who impressed me the most is
:55:08. > :55:11.Rafa Nadal. After not playing the grass court tournament, three weeks
:55:12. > :55:16.off, still flying very high from the French Open when, he went like a
:55:17. > :55:20.freight train yesterday and the way that he plays, offensive, big
:55:21. > :55:25.serves, taking the ball early, it is something I have never seen him
:55:26. > :55:29.doing on the grass and the others... Roger, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic.
:55:30. > :55:35.Next week is always a difference between the men and the boys, those
:55:36. > :55:38.four gentlemen are men. There you have it. And none of those exciting
:55:39. > :55:46.boys that we have been talking about, Dominic Thiem, Zverev, they
:55:47. > :55:50.will not pop up on any semifinal? Semifinal, probably, maybe a final,
:55:51. > :55:54.but I think one of those four men will be holding the trophy again.
:55:55. > :55:56.Now it's time for social of the day - and you'll remember on Thursday,
:55:57. > :55:58.Bethanie Mattek-Sands was injured playing here at Wimbledon. Today the
:55:59. > :56:20.American confirmed she's dislocated her patella. Let's have a listen. I
:56:21. > :56:26.will be out for a while. But I want to keep you guys updated. Because
:56:27. > :56:33.all of your messages have been really inspiring and they have meant
:56:34. > :56:37.a lot to me. I have probably read most of them, I cannot reply to all
:56:38. > :56:45.of them. But the support has been amazing. I will get through this! We
:56:46. > :56:50.really do wish her well and hope that she does get through because
:56:51. > :56:57.Bethanie Mattek Sands is a fantastic doubles players in particular and
:56:58. > :57:04.she is obviously out of London. That is the way the draw is looking for
:57:05. > :57:17.the men at this stage. And we will have a look at the bottom half.
:57:18. > :57:22.Milos Raonic and Zverev coming up. Roger Federer is playing a mirror
:57:23. > :57:28.image of himself with Dimitrov. Tomas Berdych is very a contest on
:57:29. > :57:32.grass, I like him at the moment, he has got something else. Look at the
:57:33. > :57:41.moon, that is a full-blown! Right, the top half of the women's draw.
:57:42. > :57:47.Angelique Kerber and Muguruza. The highest quality, I have to go with
:57:48. > :57:57.Garbine Muguruza. The way she played today. Venus Williams going strong.
:57:58. > :58:02.Ostapenko. You mentioned her. She has not been on a very big court.
:58:03. > :58:09.People have not seen her play but she is incredible, against the
:58:10. > :58:13.French Open champion. And Azarenka against Halep should be a good one
:58:14. > :58:16.as well. Fingers crossed for Jo Konta. We don't have an order of
:58:17. > :58:22.play from Monday just yet but the last 16 of the men and women are all
:58:23. > :58:28.in action and you be using all of the BBC options, BBC One, BBC Two,
