:00:00. > :00:00.fourth seed, has gone. Beaten by Gilles Muller, 34 years old. Let's
:00:07. > :00:10.hear from him now. Many congratulations. How do you
:00:11. > :00:17.feel after that epic match against one of the game's great players?
:00:18. > :00:22.Tired! It was a long match. I was two sets up. Rafa stepped it up and
:00:23. > :00:26.that the end it was just a big battle. I had match points, I
:00:27. > :00:32.believe I had four and didn't make them so it was getting really tough.
:00:33. > :00:37.I was also watching the sky because I was feeling it would be over
:00:38. > :00:47.pretty soon. When I had the last two match points, I said give it a shot,
:00:48. > :00:51.go 100%. Great feeling to win. Rafa came back from two sets down and its
:00:52. > :00:57.2-2, a lot of people think Rafa will win. How did you keep your composure
:00:58. > :01:01.and your belief in the fifth set? I didn't feel like I played bad in the
:01:02. > :01:06.fourth set so I told myself to keep it up and if it's not happening,
:01:07. > :01:11.he's just too good. I started serving a bit better, maybe. At the
:01:12. > :01:15.end it's just the matter of a few points here and there. It's tough to
:01:16. > :01:23.say what made the difference at the end. When you won, what was the
:01:24. > :01:26.feeling like knowing you had done it in such a big match with so much at
:01:27. > :01:31.stake? I don't know, I haven't really realised what just happened!
:01:32. > :01:36.It's a great feeling. I was worried it would be over pretty soon. I was
:01:37. > :01:40.thinking about what to do, to come back the next day and finished the
:01:41. > :01:46.match. I'm just glad it's over and I'm in the quarterfinals. Were you
:01:47. > :01:52.aware of Prince Felix of Luxembourg in the stands? I heard he was going
:01:53. > :01:57.to come. We know each other, he's a big tennis fan, the Royal family of
:01:58. > :02:04.big tennis players. Great fun to have him here. Well played.
:02:05. > :02:14.Gilles Muller, the 16th seed, from Luxembourg, has knocked out Rafael
:02:15. > :02:21.Nadal. Four hours and 48 minutes. 15-13 in the fifth set. Wimbledon
:02:22. > :02:25.have just announced there will be no further played tonight. Novak
:02:26. > :02:30.Djokovic, who was due to follow that match, will have to come back
:02:31. > :02:35.tomorrow. It's a huge result for Muller. He's got a good record on
:02:36. > :02:41.grass this year but everyone thought Nadal was in the form of his life,
:02:42. > :02:44.having won his tenth French Open championship. John McEnroe and Tracy
:02:45. > :02:55.Austin are with me. All of the last 16 apart from Djokovic and man Arena
:02:56. > :02:58.in action. Your reaction? Nadal was playing great leading up to this
:02:59. > :03:05.tournament. He was unbelievable on the clay. You get a better idea of
:03:06. > :03:10.how tough a customer this guy is on this surface at 34. Like a fine
:03:11. > :03:18.wine, better than ever. His serve is awesome. I was amazed, he's got
:03:19. > :03:26.sweet Handscomb he stays back more, but the biggest surprise is how fit
:03:27. > :03:31.he looked. At 13-13, taking it to Rafa Navarro, the fittest, toughest,
:03:32. > :03:41.most energised person. -- Rafale Nadal. After dropping macro four
:03:42. > :03:48.match points. Most mortals will say, against Nadal, I give in. He hung
:03:49. > :03:52.with it, unbelievable effort. Incredible fitness, mentally and
:03:53. > :03:57.physically, but also patients. An hour and a half later he gets
:03:58. > :04:02.another match point. And to be able to sustain it against Rafa who keeps
:04:03. > :04:08.coming at you. It's a phenomenal story for Gilles Muller. 34 years
:04:09. > :04:12.old and had never won tour title until this year. He finally won in
:04:13. > :04:18.Sydney and another grass court event. You can be so fit in your
:04:19. > :04:25.mid-30s and now the biggest match in his career. Why didn't we think of
:04:26. > :04:32.that? At 25 we were the hill! 34 and he is way better than ever. His
:04:33. > :04:38.ground strokes were amazing. He was solid from the back court. It's been
:04:39. > :04:43.the most fantastic day of tennis and it's only just finished. There's a
:04:44. > :04:50.little thing busying -- buzzing in front of the camera! We will try to
:04:51. > :04:55.wrap up as many matches as we can between now and 9:30pm. We will
:04:56. > :05:01.start with the British number one on the women's side trying to reach her
:05:02. > :05:07.first quarter final at Wimbledon. On court, Johanna Konta rarely let
:05:08. > :05:15.the mask slip. We hardly get to peer beyond the professional veneer. What
:05:16. > :05:22.a battle! What resilience? But there was another Johanna Konta. She bakes
:05:23. > :05:28.cakes. She's been handing out muffins to her coaching team. The
:05:29. > :05:31.best on tour, she claims. Maybe it's useful preparation because Wimbledon
:05:32. > :05:38.is all about rising at the right time!
:05:39. > :05:46.When it comes to the big occasions, Konta has been proving is she is
:05:47. > :05:54.nerveless. She stays calm and in the moment and she broke in the opening
:05:55. > :05:59.game, racing to a 3-1 lead. And she served for the first set at 5-4, but
:06:00. > :06:13.then Garsdale woke up and soon they were into a first set tie-break.
:06:14. > :06:22.Brilliant. Not only great anticipation from Konta, but then
:06:23. > :06:39.she had to execute. A shot that establishes a couple of
:06:40. > :06:57.mini-breaks in this first set tie-break.
:06:58. > :07:04.UMPIRE: Miss Konta is challenging the ball. It felt out. Close, but it
:07:05. > :07:17.felt out. At this stage, I think it's all
:07:18. > :07:24.about handling the nerves. You've got to remind yourself to have good
:07:25. > :07:30.footwork. Maybe a little extra spin on your shots, but continue to have
:07:31. > :07:41.the same racket head speed. Interesting hearing Konta quoting
:07:42. > :07:45.Billie Jean King over the last -- Billie Jean King over the last
:07:46. > :09:07.couple of days, saying pressure is a privilege.
:09:08. > :09:43.She's halfway there. Jo Konta, halfway there, to a Wimbledon
:09:44. > :09:48.quarterfinal. She's won the first set on the tie-break.
:09:49. > :09:53.(STUDIO) a roar from Konta as she took that tie-break, but at the
:09:54. > :09:59.start of the second set it was all Caroline Garcia. The Frenchwoman
:10:00. > :10:05.broke serve twice to race into a 5-1 lead, but Konta won three games in a
:10:06. > :10:10.row to close the gap. Konta refusing to allow the second
:10:11. > :10:15.set to end. She then held serve to make it 4-5, but Garcia still had
:10:16. > :10:31.the advantage and this is her serving for the second set.
:10:32. > :10:38.You get extra nervous at this moment, you keep it simple, go to
:10:39. > :10:53.simple patterns, crosscourt, good footwork.
:10:54. > :11:24.Continue to target the Konta forehand.
:11:25. > :11:35.No nerves so far. No, she has been good and strong, much to the delight
:11:36. > :11:36.of her father. An hour and 37 minutes, three points to take us
:11:37. > :12:01.into a third set. Well played. She had the mental
:12:02. > :12:08.resolve to get the job done. We are level at a set apiece.
:12:09. > :12:17.Into the decider and there have been no breaks of serve, no break points
:12:18. > :12:19.or even deuces. Garcia is serving at 4-5 down so needing to hold again to
:12:20. > :12:28.stay in the match. Great technique and depth on this
:12:29. > :13:36.backhand volley. You can see Konta trying to read the
:13:37. > :13:52.serve. Just a little swing towards the left and it went to the right.
:13:53. > :14:39.What were you doing in 1984? You may not even have been born. That was
:14:40. > :14:40.the last time a British woman reached the quarterfinals of
:14:41. > :14:57.Wimbledon. Jo Konta, Wimbledon quarterfinalist?
:14:58. > :15:19.--! The first since another Jo, Jo
:15:20. > :15:23.Durie, all those years ago. There are always momentum shifts and I
:15:24. > :15:28.felt like I shifted them are meant in my favour, although I lost the
:15:29. > :15:35.second set in the end. It made her start the third set on a more even
:15:36. > :15:40.keel. I felt very clear on what I was trying to achieve. I was
:15:41. > :15:47.definitely not disheartened by going into a third and really looked
:15:48. > :15:51.forward to having another battle. People talk about the crowd and the
:15:52. > :15:57.impact and the adrenaline it creates. Did you feel it make a
:15:58. > :16:02.difference today? Obviously a home crowd is that much more emotionally
:16:03. > :16:08.invested and living and dying with your points. The support I felt was
:16:09. > :16:13.frankly phenomenal. It was so nice talking to her after that win. A
:16:14. > :16:18.terrific result, a great run at Wimbledon. I think she was shocked
:16:19. > :16:23.when that game was over so quickly. I thought she might have expected it
:16:24. > :16:27.to go on. They had both been holding quite easily. Garcia had been
:16:28. > :16:32.serving so well and she became more aggressive in the second set. To me
:16:33. > :16:36.Garcia has a lot of weapons but in the past it's been a little brittle
:16:37. > :16:47.in the crucial situations and we saw that in the last game. She didn't
:16:48. > :16:54.get enough balls in play and Jo fought so well. Before coming into
:16:55. > :16:58.this year 's Wimbledon she had only won one match at Wimbledon and lost
:16:59. > :17:03.five times. That shows how much she's improved and most of it is
:17:04. > :17:10.between the ears. My understanding, and I'm not real close to this, it
:17:11. > :17:14.shows the sports psychology aspect. Clearly she's been talking to a
:17:15. > :17:18.group of people for some time and that seems to have real -- made a
:17:19. > :17:25.real impact in her ability to dig deeper. Especially here. For the
:17:26. > :17:35.first time there's all this focus on her. She seems to be unravelled by
:17:36. > :17:40.it. She's ready. She's not 18 or 19. This is very difficult. Garcia knows
:17:41. > :17:46.what it's like to have pressure from home Grand Slam, at the French Open.
:17:47. > :17:51.She shares that with others. For Konta, Heather Watson played so
:17:52. > :17:56.well, but for the most point it's all about Konta, she's in the top
:17:57. > :18:05.ten. It's new to her and she seems to be handling it with ease. I she's
:18:06. > :18:09.enjoying it. Ostapenko won the French, that allowed other people
:18:10. > :18:15.like us to discuss how many women could win the tournament. In effect
:18:16. > :18:19.it took some pressure off her. We are like, anybody could win. She's
:18:20. > :18:26.one of them, but she's only one of those people. Despite you look at
:18:27. > :18:32.the odds from the bookmakers, as of this morning she was the favourite,
:18:33. > :18:37.so considering she had only won one match at Wimbledon, that's amazing.
:18:38. > :18:44.She's the first British woman in the quarterfinals 1984, long before Jo
:18:45. > :18:49.herself was born, she was born in 1991! Now to the men's number one.
:18:50. > :18:56.Andy Murray was up against the Frenchman called Benoit Paire, he of
:18:57. > :19:00.the luxurious facial hair. He said in the past he's found Wimbledon
:19:01. > :19:04.displays in but he was very pleased to be on Centre Court today. He had
:19:05. > :19:05.an early break of serve, he broke Murray in the third game of the
:19:06. > :19:17.first set. Some beautiful play from Paire, but
:19:18. > :19:26.Murray wasn't having any of that. He broke straight back. They broke each
:19:27. > :19:33.other once more a piece on the way to a tie-break. The world number one
:19:34. > :19:42.and defending champion took it in convincing fashion, 7-1.
:19:43. > :19:49.Murray has faced a few of these players where he knows to expect the
:19:50. > :19:53.unexpected. An early break for Murray in the second set, Paire
:19:54. > :19:59.break back, another break for Murray in the night and that was him
:20:00. > :20:27.serving for the second set at 5-4. We will join it here.
:20:28. > :20:36.I know how he feels. Went back for a second bite after that as well. He
:20:37. > :21:16.really is uptight, but he knows if he can hang on here, it's 2-0.
:21:17. > :21:40.Off a second serve. Not for a moment, not for a single nanosecond,
:21:41. > :21:45.was Paire up in that rally. Wonderful pressure from Murray. Two
:21:46. > :22:07.points from a two set to lead, again.
:22:08. > :22:13.The moment he gave Paire the initiative back at the Frenchman
:22:14. > :22:58.took advantage. This time Paire quick to challenge.
:22:59. > :23:09.It was a driven backhand from Andy Murray. He is break point down. If
:23:10. > :23:17.this is out, we are back at 5-5. No, no, all good. Steady!
:23:18. > :23:29.Speculative challenge. From Benoit Paire. He has one challenge
:23:30. > :24:22.remaining. Back to deuce. UMPIRE: Let, first service.
:24:23. > :24:48.Two sets to Andy Murray, who fights off break points in that game. This
:24:49. > :24:52.is not easy, but he is two sets up. Andrew Castle and Boris Becker with
:24:53. > :25:08.the commentary. It didn't take long for Murray to wrap things up.
:25:09. > :25:17.After two hours and 21 minutes. Murray didn't necessarily look
:25:18. > :25:24.comfortable, but he was happy with his performance. I thought I played
:25:25. > :25:28.well today. Maybe a couple of sloppy service games in the first set, but
:25:29. > :25:32.that was by far the best IT at the ball so far in the tournament so
:25:33. > :25:37.really pleased with that. He's not easy to play. He's got one of the
:25:38. > :25:42.best backhands and he can play every shot. It's not always easy to see
:25:43. > :25:47.where you should put the ball, tactics aren't easy. With the
:25:48. > :25:51.build-up into Wimbledon, the injury, if somebody had said at that point
:25:52. > :25:55.you would be in the quarterfinals with the level of tennis you were
:25:56. > :26:02.playing, would you have taken that? For sure. Two weeks ago I was
:26:03. > :26:07.resting. I was a little bit concerned. When you have issues a
:26:08. > :26:12.few days before a big event, it's frustrating. I managed it well and
:26:13. > :26:17.I've played some good stuff. Today was the best I've played so far in
:26:18. > :26:22.the tournament. Yeah. I'm doing well.
:26:23. > :26:28.What he says and how he says it don't necessarily marry but do you
:26:29. > :26:34.think it is the best he has played so far? Who am I to argue with him
:26:35. > :26:41.about that? He has played some awkward players in the first few
:26:42. > :26:46.rounds than anyone, from Dustin Brown to Fabio Fognini and now
:26:47. > :26:49.Benoit Paire. You can't make this up. You have got to sustain
:26:50. > :26:53.intensity and that is what he is able to do. It is what the great
:26:54. > :26:58.players do often enough to beat those type of players.
:26:59. > :27:05.I thought he moved pretty well as well. When Benoit Paire put him on
:27:06. > :27:11.the run, I thought he did a good job. Paire will show him a lot of
:27:12. > :27:17.drop shots and drop volleys. For the most part, he was very good at that.
:27:18. > :27:23.And he is still here in these Championships. Rafa Nadal is not.
:27:24. > :27:25.Absolutely and that is important. At the beginning of the tournament,
:27:26. > :27:32.there were questions about Andy Murray. He was staying off the court
:27:33. > :27:40.because of that hip and he is still clearly limping in between points
:27:41. > :27:44.but the movement looks beautiful. He just guts it out and now, the draw
:27:45. > :27:51.is pretty wide open. Sam Querrey in the quarters. Three days he couldn't
:27:52. > :27:57.play! Federer couldn't play for six months and he won the Australian
:27:58. > :28:03.Open. Yes but three days is hard to take off. It is tough. We will look
:28:04. > :28:09.at the draw in a moment. Novak Djokovic's match will now be at 12pm
:28:10. > :28:13.tomorrow. Bad forecast for tomorrow, I suspect the roof will be closed.
:28:14. > :28:18.Followed by the women's quarterfinals. Andre Marriner Deano
:28:19. > :28:36.against Djokovic tomorrow. You had this golden opportunity to
:28:37. > :28:41.put Novak Djokovic, three times champion on Centre Court, the crowd
:28:42. > :28:48.would have loved that. You can't say the crowd in Court One didn't get
:28:49. > :28:57.their money 's worth. They kept stalling and changing their mind. It
:28:58. > :29:02.is going on, it is coming off,. Are not great for Djokovic, sitting
:29:03. > :29:08.around watching. There might have been a problem with... Henman Hill
:29:09. > :29:11.was absolutely crowded. Everybody moving over there. We have a lot of
:29:12. > :29:15.matches to wrap up. For the last two years,
:29:16. > :29:18.Serena Williams has dominated the women's Championships and two
:29:19. > :29:36.of her victims were facing each Angelique Kerber is the top-seeded
:29:37. > :29:40.and top ranked player here. Playing really aggressive tennis and there
:29:41. > :29:42.was some great stuff out there. We join it in the tenth game of the
:29:43. > :29:51.second set. With Chris Bradman
:29:52. > :30:10.and Louise Pleming. She missed it. Through the middle of
:30:11. > :30:51.court. Wow. Pretty courageous, obviously.
:30:52. > :30:52.Good play and good serve. Muguruza moving outside the court, created
:30:53. > :31:44.that gap. They have got a third set. Muguruza
:31:45. > :31:52.with just one break. She takes the second set 6-4 in 45 minutes.
:31:53. > :31:54.So into a deciding set where both players had
:31:55. > :31:59.They both started to serve better and they've passed the two-hour mark
:32:00. > :32:03.as we join it with Muguruza having held for a 5-4 lead so Kerber
:32:04. > :32:49.She has been aggressive from the first shot, Muguruza.
:32:50. > :32:53.That was an interesting shot as well. Straight through the middle of
:32:54. > :33:04.the court. He is going to fall off his chair in
:33:05. > :33:47.a minute! The match in the crowd is 50-50 as
:33:48. > :34:44.well. Muguruza has stayed faithful to what
:34:45. > :34:49.she did best. Through to her second quarter final at Wimbledon. I went
:34:50. > :34:55.out there and I wanted the match so I made it happen.
:34:56. > :35:01.I wanted it so much that I didn't want to lose my opportunity. At the
:35:02. > :35:06.beginning, I didn't feel comfortable on the grasp the concept was so new
:35:07. > :35:09.to me but with that final and over the years, everything changed and I
:35:10. > :35:18.feel like much better and more in control now.
:35:19. > :35:33.Jelena Ostapenko, took the first set against Elina Svitolina 6-3.
:35:34. > :35:42.She had her first match point at 5-2. But it certainly took a few to
:35:43. > :35:47.get her through. What do you like about Ostapenko? I like her
:35:48. > :35:51.fearlessness. Just 20 years old and she hits so big and she is trying to
:35:52. > :35:56.add a little bit more of the nuances to her game. When she doesn't have
:35:57. > :36:04.to hit so big and so close to the line every single point. But look at
:36:05. > :36:08.that fight. She has won 11 Grand Slam matches in a row and she is not
:36:09. > :36:15.having that lull. How many times have we seen someone win a major and
:36:16. > :36:18.then they can't handle the expectations. She still seems to be
:36:19. > :36:22.playing the game and going after her shots. Was that her eighth match
:36:23. > :36:31.point? That is what I like best about her. No matter what happens,
:36:32. > :36:37.she keeps battling and digging more and it is like, OK, I blew the first
:36:38. > :36:45.seven, I mean a lot of people can't handle that without couple, much
:36:46. > :36:49.less seven. She is tough as nails. Yes she is.
:36:50. > :36:52.An incredible amount of talent on show in the women's draw,
:36:53. > :36:54.the Wimbledon title within grasp for many of them.
:36:55. > :36:56.Phil Jones assesses some other performances,
:36:57. > :37:01.starting with a pairing from different generations.
:37:02. > :37:06.1997, Venus Williams playing her first match. We were only just
:37:07. > :37:20.getting to know a wizard called Harry. That Christmas, Croatia's Ana
:37:21. > :37:24.Konjuh was born and now she took on Venus Williams on Centre Court. How
:37:25. > :37:29.do you hold your own against the powerful? With a show of power of
:37:30. > :37:33.your own. Ana Konjuh was not overawed by her opponent all the
:37:34. > :37:41.stage. But Venus is relentless. Pressure applied by Venus Williams
:37:42. > :37:48.at Wimbledon so often tells. You didn't need to be Hawk-Eye to see
:37:49. > :37:54.the experience, the only teenager left in the last 16. Losing just two
:37:55. > :38:02.break points all match. Neither were taken. After 63 minutes, it was
:38:03. > :38:07.over. In her 20th Wimbledon, now 85 career victories here. Just one
:38:08. > :38:11.behind sister Serena Williams. At 37, Venus Williams now the oldest
:38:12. > :38:16.woman since Martina Navratilova in 1994, to reach the last eight at
:38:17. > :38:23.Wimbledon. Svetlana Kuznetsova was also born in the 80s. The second
:38:24. > :38:30.oldest woman in the draw, aged 32, showed that Abbadi about old dogs
:38:31. > :38:38.and new tricks isn't always true. The seven seed from Russia rushing
:38:39. > :38:41.through. Victoria Azarenka gave birth to son Leo last December and
:38:42. > :38:48.the quarterfinal berth here would have been a mother of all comebacks.
:38:49. > :38:53.Simona Halep is not one for sentimentality, though. Keeping the
:38:54. > :38:58.unforced error count to 11 as Azarenka made 32 and frustration
:38:59. > :39:03.showed. Perhaps why the world number to beat the former world number one
:39:04. > :39:08.in straight sets. Halep on course to break her Grand Slam title stopped.
:39:09. > :39:15.17 victories in 18 matches on grass this summer and counting for an
:39:16. > :39:20.seeded Magdalena Rybarikova. Career threatening injury took Grand Slam
:39:21. > :39:27.quarterfinalist inside a year for the Slovakian at the 36 time of
:39:28. > :39:33.trying. So stunning a tale, there have been more plausible fairy
:39:34. > :39:36.stories. Rybarikova next faces Coco Vandeweghe. A Californian girl now
:39:37. > :39:42.of sunny disposition and golden strokes. She was too dazzling for
:39:43. > :39:46.Caroline Wozniacki who tried every which way but never reached the
:39:47. > :39:55.quarterfinal here. Vandeweghe's grass court group apparently has
:39:56. > :40:06.knowledge. She is a contender. CLARE BALDING: This could be her big
:40:07. > :40:12.moment. The halls beeping for her! She is very confident and she has
:40:13. > :40:18.the weapons. Any time you have a former champion like Pat Cash... I
:40:19. > :40:21.talk to him today and he said he is working on her mental state. She
:40:22. > :40:28.sometimes gets a little tough and down on herself. No matter what the
:40:29. > :40:34.situation, he said you have got to be positive and he is also working
:40:35. > :40:40.on her volleys and her smashes. She was coming to the net so frequently
:40:41. > :40:44.today, it was amazing. She's up against Magdalena Rybarikova, one of
:40:45. > :40:50.the stories of the Championship. It is a tremendous run but if you said
:40:51. > :40:57.to Coco Vandeweghe, this is who you are playing, you would think that
:40:58. > :41:02.would be OK. Venus Williams is older than virtually all the others put
:41:03. > :41:06.together. She would be my favourite from the beginning. Anyone that has
:41:07. > :41:14.won it five times and been in a couple of other finals, and goes to
:41:15. > :41:21.Australia and gets to the finals at her age, why is it that everyone is
:41:22. > :41:26.saying... Remember what happened the Thursday before the tournament. The
:41:27. > :41:33.car accident and all of that, we don't note to go into the details
:41:34. > :41:37.but each match that has gone by, Venus is feeling more comfortable
:41:38. > :41:42.and really serving well today. Top-seeded player left in its Simona
:41:43. > :41:46.Halep and this is who Johanna Konta has the play. Her movement is
:41:47. > :41:53.fantastic. So fast around the court. Nothing gets past her. The question
:41:54. > :41:59.for me would be how she emotionally handles the fact she was 7-3 up
:42:00. > :42:06.against Ostapenko in the finals of the French. I give her credit that
:42:07. > :42:13.she has rebounded but this will be like the real test. When things get
:42:14. > :42:18.tight, how deep can she dig right now given what just happened? Best
:42:19. > :42:23.way to get over it. I have had that similar thing happen and if you can
:42:24. > :42:29.somehow come back and win this, you can at least temporarily forget it.
:42:30. > :42:32.You still talk about that! Yes you have really got over it! It was the
:42:33. > :42:34.fourth set! Back to Centre Court and Roger
:42:35. > :42:37.Federer against Grigor Dimitrov was hotly anticipated
:42:38. > :42:39.but the seven-time champion wasted no time winning
:42:40. > :42:44.the first two sets 6-4, 6-2. And we pick it up with Federer
:42:45. > :42:47.leading Dimitrov 5-4 in the third and serving
:42:48. > :43:39.for the match. No stress game here so far. Another
:43:40. > :43:41.number to amaze you, it would be Federer going to do his 50th Grand
:43:42. > :44:02.Slam quarterfinal. He is playing so quickly, we still
:44:03. > :44:05.don't know his quarterfinal opponent Raonic, but it will surely be Roger
:44:06. > :44:39.Federer in the last eight. Roger Federer does it again as he
:44:40. > :44:46.has done so many times before. Moves through and moves on at Wimbledon.
:44:47. > :44:50.Grigor Dimitrov humbled, perhaps he will have his day in the future but
:44:51. > :44:56.it is not this day. This day belongs to Roger Federer again. No late
:44:57. > :45:01.dramatics from him. The crowd loved it, how good was he today? He is
:45:02. > :45:07.incredible. I have watched him for 15 years and I still wonder how he
:45:08. > :45:11.does it and make it look so easy. Pretty smooth. Dimitrov was playing
:45:12. > :45:17.really well coming into this match and Roger just swatted him away.
:45:18. > :45:22.Roger hasn't lost a set yet in the 35, that has got to be helpful. That
:45:23. > :45:32.was the teacher giving the student a lesson once again. Everyone loves
:45:33. > :45:38.Roger. Disappointed with what he had to offer, I know Roger smothered him
:45:39. > :45:44.but not nearly enough. The big news today is that Rafa Nadal is out,
:45:45. > :45:45.beaten five sets, 15-13 in the fifth by Gilles Muller of Luxembourg and
:45:46. > :45:58.this is what Rafa had to say today. He played well, I think I didn't
:45:59. > :46:06.play my best, the first couple of sets I made a few mistakes that then
:46:07. > :46:11.I was playing all the time against the score. Difficult against a
:46:12. > :46:18.player like him. Well done to him. He played well and especially in the
:46:19. > :46:25.fifth, he played great. I was fighting until the last ball. I
:46:26. > :46:30.think with the right attitude, probably was not my best match but
:46:31. > :46:38.at the same time, I played against a very comfortable opponent. After the
:46:39. > :46:44.press conference, Rafa spoke to us. Looking ahead, definitely coming
:46:45. > :46:55.back next year? I don't know, let's wait, but just happy to field the
:46:56. > :46:58.support of the crowd. I don't know. Wimbledon remains a lot and we will
:46:59. > :47:12.see. Chances are he will be here, surely?
:47:13. > :47:18.These interviewers... LAUGHTER It is all our fault! I am always the
:47:19. > :47:24.one who had my foot in my mouth, how does it come back to me? With these
:47:25. > :47:26.dumb questions! Let's wrap up some of the other action in the men's
:47:27. > :47:28.last 16. Paddy Gearey brings
:47:29. > :47:45.you the best of the action. Like any festival, there is more to
:47:46. > :47:48.Wimbledon than the headliners. Look down the bill to the other stages
:47:49. > :47:54.and you will find entertaining names, intriguing games. Some
:47:55. > :47:57.hipsters headed to court 12 to see Marin Cilic, critically acclaimed
:47:58. > :48:05.but without a smash hit. Fancy to be the breakthrough this year. That is
:48:06. > :48:08.audacious. Number seven seed went straight through, Roberto Bautista
:48:09. > :48:11.Agut. This is all over in less than an hour and three quarters that it
:48:12. > :48:15.might have been quicker had Cilic gone a little easier for bouncing. I
:48:16. > :48:25.can't remember Cilic bouncing just as that! Cilic still hasn't lost a
:48:26. > :48:33.set. Cilic could be a winner in that form. Maybe you are into your big
:48:34. > :48:39.repetitive beats. Caught a team home to the lengthiest encore, now
:48:40. > :48:45.housing two giants. Kevin Anderson and Sam Querrey. 62 aces over five
:48:46. > :48:49.sets. There was a story behind the serving. Querrey had four match
:48:50. > :48:55.points in the fourth set, Anderson saved them all. But the American
:48:56. > :49:00.then cranked up the volume. Querrey into the last eight, same stage he
:49:01. > :49:06.started. Pick the right venue and you might see a cracker. Court
:49:07. > :49:13.three, 2010 finalist Berdych took the first set against Dominic Thiem.
:49:14. > :49:18.At 23, Thiem already world number eight but he may not be that well
:49:19. > :49:23.known to everyone. This shot sums him up. That is a crowd pleaser. He
:49:24. > :49:31.won the second in a tie-break and also the fourth. 31-year-old
:49:32. > :49:37.Berdych's first victory over a top ten play on grass since that
:49:38. > :49:40.Wimbledon final. Sometimes the old ones are the best. Satisfaction to
:49:41. > :49:46.see in the next big thing before they fill stadiums. Court Number
:49:47. > :49:51.Two, Alexander Zverev, a player many think it has everything you need to
:49:52. > :49:55.win a Grand Slam. There are few stiffer test of your class on grass
:49:56. > :50:00.than last year's filelist Milos Raonic. Twice the Canadian hauled
:50:01. > :50:05.himself back. In effect, he had Zverev where you wanted him.
:50:06. > :50:08.Breaking the young man twice then finishing him. They may have seen
:50:09. > :50:16.the future on court two but now, it remains just that, the future.
:50:17. > :50:24.I know Milos Raonic is your man. I am upset Alexander Zverev is gone. I
:50:25. > :50:28.love him. Me too. I believe in the next few years, he will be the best
:50:29. > :50:36.player in the world. He said he is tired of hearing that. He is going
:50:37. > :50:39.to hear it until years. He said for three years, people have been
:50:40. > :50:44.telling me, you learn so much from these losses and they will make you
:50:45. > :50:49.better. We love that he is so competitive. This guy is a future
:50:50. > :50:54.number one. He needs to beef up a little bit. He is working on that
:50:55. > :50:58.and he does all the right things. I believe and hope it will happen. A
:50:59. > :51:08.great character. But he has to win a little. Milos Raonic plane Federer,
:51:09. > :51:13.can he beaten? I believe it will be a tall order because Roger Federer
:51:14. > :51:19.is the greatest player that ever lived and everyone will want him to
:51:20. > :51:23.win. When the racket is taken out of your hands, the top guys, they don't
:51:24. > :51:30.like a guy that can do that and Milos Raonic can do that. One of the
:51:31. > :51:36.all-time greats serves, he moves well and the volley has really
:51:37. > :51:45.improved. It won't be easy. But he has a shot. Andy Murray against Sam
:51:46. > :51:46.Querrey in the quarterfinal. Andy Murray obviously Toomey will win but
:51:47. > :52:04.Sam Querrey has the shot. Gilles Muller against Marin Cilic.
:52:05. > :52:15.Marin Cilic. Marin Cilic. Raonic against Federer. I would take the
:52:16. > :52:22.fifth. I am going with Federer. Tomas Berdych will play Andre
:52:23. > :52:25.Mannarino or Djokovic. We don't know that because Rafa has gone but we
:52:26. > :52:32.will still give him this shot because he is shot of the day.
:52:33. > :52:42.This is more than just one shot, this is a fantastic rally. It really
:52:43. > :52:50.was a fantastic match all round but what a crosscourt volley that is.
:52:51. > :52:52.Quote of the day from Johanna Konta, one of the big stories. She wanted
:52:53. > :53:06.to talk about baking today. White chocolate and raspberry
:53:07. > :53:16.muffins today. Very positive feedback. As my best muffins yet. I
:53:17. > :53:20.am feeling quite happy with how I am growing as a muffin baker. I
:53:21. > :53:28.definitely feel I am continuously reinvesting the knowledge that I am
:53:29. > :53:35.picking up from a previous batches. Are you living with these muffins
:53:36. > :53:39.moment by moment? Yes, staying very present, on each ingredient, at a
:53:40. > :53:46.time, I feel like I am really taking the best out of my tennis career and
:53:47. > :53:52.putting it into muffin making. Her baking is getting better and better,
:53:53. > :53:58.as is her tennis. She will play in her first Wimbledon quarterfinal
:53:59. > :54:09.tomorrow. Play will start earlier, at 12, with the one men's last 16
:54:10. > :54:16.match which was played today. -- which wasn't played today. I think
:54:17. > :54:25.Venus Williams wins that match and Johanna Konta wins her match. These
:54:26. > :54:30.matches on Court One might get moved to Centre Court because of heavy
:54:31. > :54:40.rain due tomorrow. I think Muguruza wins that match. I am saying cocoa.
:54:41. > :54:43.The Americans are both saying Coco Vandeweghe to win. Mainly cloudy on
:54:44. > :54:45.Tuesday morning with a risk of showery rain, still with them drier
:54:46. > :54:56.interludes possible. Who knows what will happen tomorrow.
:54:57. > :54:59.One of the greatest days of tennis ever today. Goodbye to Rafa and
:55:00. > :55:17.goodbye from us. 'From the heights
:55:18. > :55:19.of the Scottish Highlands 'to the shores of East Anglia,
:55:20. > :55:24.I've travelled across Britain...' '..to learn about the food I cook
:55:25. > :55:28.for my family...'
