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