:00:44. > :00:49.Welcome once again to Wimbledon, we have tennis for you right through

:00:49. > :00:53.the evening, here, but the big story here on men's finals day, is

:00:53. > :00:57.that a new champion has been crowned. Novak Djokovic has dreamed

:00:57. > :01:03.of winning Wimbledon and he did it today on his first Championship

:01:03. > :01:06.point. Beating the two time winner here, Rafael Nadal. Not only has

:01:07. > :01:11.Djokovic become the Wimbledon champion, he has become the world

:01:11. > :01:18.number one as well. He has won 48 matches out of 49 this year. But

:01:18. > :01:23.this is the one that meant the most. This is when he realised, as a

:01:23. > :01:27.youngster dreaming of this moment, now it was reality. The wonderful

:01:27. > :01:32.moment for Novak Djokovic who is the man of men's tennis right now.

:01:32. > :01:35.Nobody thinking about him before the Championships. Everyone talking

:01:35. > :01:43.about Rafa, Roger and maybe Andy. This man came through and he

:01:43. > :01:48.produced awesome tennis in the final, to win it in four sets. 6-4,

:01:48. > :01:53.6-4. Emotional scenes from his family and for Novak. I am not sure

:01:53. > :01:56.he will be letting that go for some time. So that was the Tory on

:01:56. > :02:00.Centre Court earlier. But we are heading back there now, because it

:02:00. > :02:07.is the mixed doubles final. It is with serve, if you have been

:02:07. > :02:17.watching on BBC One. We have only missed one game. It is two games to

:02:17. > :02:19.

:02:19. > :02:27.one to Jurgen Melzer and Iveta Both This one of the final finals.

:02:28. > :02:37.--. There is a boys' doubles taking place and gentleman's invitational

:02:38. > :02:53.

:02:53. > :02:58.doubles final, but here we have I am interested to see the level of

:02:58. > :03:03.the two women out Vesnina a top ten doubles player. She is the second

:03:03. > :03:08.ranked Russian in doubles. I remember the words of Todd

:03:08. > :03:11.Woodbridge, and he said he feels so often it depends on the level of

:03:11. > :03:17.the woman, the performance of the woman that decides the outcome

:03:17. > :03:27.these kind of matches, so we will be keeping quite a good eye on

:03:27. > :03:51.

:03:51. > :03:56.Melzer tries to break down Vesnina. It made it very difficult for bup

:03:56. > :04:01.to get across there. If you watch Mahesh Bhupathi. Think it, I think

:04:01. > :04:05.he has extra long arms. I think that has been the suck ret of his

:04:05. > :04:13.success. You look at the extension he gets on his arms. I just think

:04:13. > :04:18.he has very long arms. I think he is helped by that particular fiscal

:04:18. > :04:28.attitude -- attribute. I will keep an eye on that! He couldn't reach

:04:28. > :04:29.

:04:29. > :04:34.This is good from Iveta Benesova. She was nervous in the semifinal,

:04:34. > :04:42.particularly as they tried to close it out. It is a very big deal for

:04:42. > :04:49.her to be in a Grand Slam final. First break opportunity for Melzer

:04:49. > :04:59.and Benesova. Oh, it is Mahesh Bhupathi who fluffs his line and

:04:59. > :05:02.

:05:02. > :05:12.It has a very Czech feel to it, this year's Wimbledon, with Petra

:05:12. > :05:22.

:05:22. > :05:32.Kvitova winning the womenle's Singles. Boomer for Melzer.

:05:32. > :05:36.

:05:36. > :05:46.I was watching the mens' final earlier, the Czechs could bag four

:05:46. > :06:07.

:06:07. > :06:17.Wimbledon. It gives us a nostalgic feel. Russia seems to have replaced

:06:17. > :06:19.

:06:19. > :06:25.them. Hell ha was keen to remind me Melzer is an Austrian running the

:06:25. > :06:29.show at the moment. Benesova played a big role in their run through and

:06:29. > :06:32.he lost his doubles quarterfinal. He was defending the title. Very

:06:32. > :06:42.depressed he was after that and they had to go and play mixed

:06:42. > :06:46.

:06:46. > :06:51.doubles. Melzer and Benesova back up that break. And that evening, it

:06:51. > :06:55.was a few evenings ago, very down he was and Vesnina was a good

:06:55. > :07:02.cheerleader. She cheered him up. She is smiley normally. She looks

:07:02. > :07:08.tense here but she did a great job in thiv -- chivying him up and got

:07:09. > :07:14.him fired up. Benesova, lost in the second round of the Ladies'

:07:14. > :07:22.Singless to Azarenka. But an established singles player, in her

:07:22. > :07:27.own right. A couple of titles in her career. And has a long

:07:27. > :07:35.established Ladies' Doubles partnership. They lost in the Third

:07:35. > :07:41.Round here. She has bounced between about 50 and 30 in the singles

:07:41. > :07:45.ranking. She is only the fifth ranked Czech in doubles and singles.

:07:45. > :07:50.They play in the Fed Cup final, which is the women's equivalent of

:07:50. > :08:00.the day vid advice cup. I wonder if Benesova and Vesnina will be

:08:00. > :08:33.

:08:33. > :08:40.featuring in that final? That could It is great to see Bhupati playing

:08:40. > :08:46.so well this year at Wimbledon. He's very much a businessman these

:08:46. > :08:53.days. He has a company called Global Sports. Represents a lot of

:08:53. > :09:03.India's sports stars, such as Mirza. Spends a lot of time working in the

:09:03. > :09:06.

:09:06. > :09:11.Yes, when I have seen him he has had his nose buried in a phone.

:09:11. > :09:21.says it is difficult to hold the ambulance. If you -- balance. If

:09:21. > :09:29.

:09:29. > :09:39.you need any tips on stocks she the Did you enjoy playing doubles when

:09:39. > :09:49.

:09:49. > :09:56.you were... Yes, probably more And they will hope to profit now

:09:56. > :10:00.from the Benesova serve. Rpbts it is not easy playing Benesova and

:10:00. > :10:10.Melzer. You never get a break on that return of serve. The serve

:10:10. > :10:22.

:10:22. > :10:25.will be swinging away from you as a You just saw the value there, at

:10:25. > :10:29.the moment Melzer is the man out here. He is dominating this court

:10:29. > :10:34.you. See the value of just moving, when your opponent serves. You

:10:34. > :10:44.don't really have to do anything more dramatic, just make a move. It

:10:44. > :10:46.

:10:46. > :10:50.If Bhupati starts to connect with a few return, which think he probably

:10:51. > :10:55.will at some stage, they will have to change the formation, just

:10:55. > :11:05.switch things up to negate that, but so far, Benesova serving well,

:11:05. > :11:16.

:11:16. > :11:26.Delegating. Like it. What would you delegate to me Andrew? There is no

:11:26. > :11:58.

:11:58. > :12:04.One step closer the first set. UMPIRE: New balls please. It is

:12:04. > :12:08.rather dark and gloomy. It is quite warm though, muggy and Henman Hill

:12:09. > :12:18.is more sparsely populated. They are the hard-core one, the ones

:12:19. > :12:30.

:12:30. > :12:37.with staying power. We admire you. They are outside Court One where

:12:37. > :12:44.the boys' double final is takeing place. Oliver Golding, young

:12:44. > :12:48.English player involved and is George Morgan is as well.

:12:48. > :12:54.Golding is playing with Jiri Veseley and Jiri Veseley is a Czech,

:12:54. > :12:58.so Czechs going very well. I am going to try and not bump into

:12:58. > :13:03.Elena after all the matches have finished. There is a lot of Czech

:13:03. > :13:13.bragging at the moment. There is a lot of Czech bragging, in the

:13:13. > :13:31.

:13:31. > :13:37.nicest possible way. Vesnina Now, what I like about Elena

:13:37. > :13:42.Vesnina, good solid player. One of a number of Russians in the top 100,

:13:42. > :13:52.ranked seventh in Russia. She does a smile before she serves, down at

:13:52. > :13:52.

:13:52. > :14:36.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:14:36. > :14:46.her opponent. Is she going to smile She lives near the Black Sea.

:14:46. > :14:46.

:14:46. > :15:33.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:15:33. > :15:43.Forces Melzer at least to serve for He might have lost a little bit of

:15:43. > :16:00.

:16:01. > :16:05.He really is playing well in doubles these days, Jurgen Melzer.

:16:05. > :16:10.We always saw him as a wonderful singles player. He got to the semi-

:16:10. > :16:20.final of the French and beat Roger Federer in Monte Carlo this year. A

:16:20. > :16:24.

:16:24. > :16:28.former Boys' Singles winner here. I have always thought of him as a

:16:28. > :16:34.player as a bit like a bull in a china shop, but he really does show

:16:34. > :16:44.a lot of feel, which is remarkable considering how tight G-strings his

:16:44. > :17:07.

:17:07. > :17:12.racket. Put to good use their and Quite a bit of British success in

:17:12. > :17:20.the Mixed Doubles over the years. John Lloyd and Wendy Turnbull in

:17:20. > :17:27.1983 and 1984. And of course Janey married four years ago. And

:17:27. > :17:37.peerages Jurgen Melzer and Elena Benesova with the first set. -- and

:17:37. > :17:39.

:17:39. > :17:47.he kitties. More people trickling What I like about these two is they

:17:47. > :17:51.have really good chemistry. I wonder if we will get a smile from

:17:51. > :17:55.Benesova. She smiles through her singles matches through the years,

:17:55. > :18:01.and a very jolly person. They have combined really well together

:18:01. > :18:05.almost instantly. Not one that is a dominant force, they really

:18:05. > :18:13.complement each other. I think Jurgen Melzer's girlfriend is here.

:18:13. > :18:17.She is a swimmer, a very good swimmer. She is an Olympic bronze

:18:17. > :18:20.medallist. I think she is not here because the world swimming

:18:20. > :18:27.championships are in Shanghai in a couple of weeks' time, so she is

:18:27. > :18:33.preparing for that. But I am sure she is watching this match from

:18:33. > :18:43.some sort of portal, whether they are in Croatia or may be out in

:18:43. > :19:00.

:19:00. > :19:10.Bhupathi to serve to stop the He has done a career Mixed Doubles

:19:10. > :19:16.

:19:16. > :19:26.He has not been at his sharpest, I have to say. I wonder if he has

:19:26. > :19:31.

:19:31. > :19:34.been busy trading on the phone You talk about his use of different

:19:34. > :19:44.partners over the years. Seven Mixed doubles Grand Slam titles.

:19:44. > :19:56.

:19:56. > :20:05.Everyone with different partners. And he is also a wonderful Mixed

:20:05. > :20:15.Doubles player. The queue around the block when Mahesh Bhupathi is

:20:15. > :20:39.

:20:39. > :20:49.And they get off to a good start in Originally from Madras. He has a

:20:49. > :21:21.

:21:21. > :21:25.house there, and in London. That is They have been very smart,

:21:25. > :21:33.tactically. They have not allowed Bhupathi to get settled on the

:21:33. > :21:43.returns. You can see Benesova being allowed to do her thing on the

:21:43. > :21:53.

:21:53. > :22:00.Talking about his racket earlier, he has these luxury nylon strings

:22:00. > :22:05.that cost �70. I don't know how expensive the frame that her whole

:22:05. > :22:15.cities. Sometimes they go up to �75. It is extraordinary -- I don't know

:22:15. > :22:21.

:22:21. > :22:25.how expensive the frame at ease Just at the moment the team are

:22:25. > :22:35.able to make hay, because Vesnina and Bhupathi are not doing the

:22:35. > :22:36.

:22:36. > :22:46.basics well, making returns and They are rattling through this

:22:46. > :22:49.

:22:49. > :22:59.Still thousands upon thousands of the little green fly in the air.

:22:59. > :23:08.

:23:08. > :23:14.There were plenty day yesterday It is not just the greenfly, did

:23:14. > :23:18.you see the swarm of bees over Court No. 18, during the ladies

:23:18. > :23:22.Invitational final? They were buzzing around near the highlights

:23:22. > :23:32.studio and just came whizzing through. They probably took out a

:23:32. > :23:54.

:23:54. > :23:59.It was Vesnina who has a bit of a straight up-and-down delivery. Not

:23:59. > :24:03.a lot on the second serve. A slightly slower version of her

:24:03. > :24:06.first serve, particularly by Russian standards, as they are not

:24:06. > :24:16.known for one before serving. But the second serve has not a lot of

:24:16. > :24:22.

:24:22. > :24:29.cake. It is vulnerable and sits up. Melzer wins the battle of the

:24:29. > :24:33.reaction at the net. He really has channelled all of his fury into

:24:33. > :24:37.losing in the doubles quarter-final into the Mixed Doubles. I've never

:24:37. > :24:47.seen him so passionate about the Mixed Doubles. He has been super

:24:47. > :25:03.

:25:03. > :25:13.Vesnina does nothing wrong, maybe slightly short of a length, but

:25:13. > :25:29.

:25:29. > :25:39.And it brings up to break points. - I thought there might be an

:25:39. > :25:41.

:25:41. > :25:51.extensive discussion. Surely it If no? They are staying

:25:51. > :26:08.

:26:08. > :26:18.That second serve was there to be punished by Melzer, and they take

:26:18. > :26:27.

:26:27. > :26:32.And they are in control and nail. - - now. He does like to use a hammer

:26:32. > :26:35.to crack a nut, Jurgen Melzer. A wonderful stroke maker. He had a

:26:35. > :26:43.wonderful year on tour in the singles and elevated himself from a

:26:43. > :26:49.player that was always around 15 bought 20 in the world into the top

:26:49. > :26:56.10. Always going up in the shadow of the former French Open champion,

:26:56. > :27:02.Thomas Berdych, and very physical player. That was tough, always

:27:02. > :27:06.trying to live up to those kinds of expectations and levels. There is a

:27:06. > :27:13.lot of talk about former winners of the Boys' Singles like Pat Cash,

:27:13. > :27:16.Roger Federer, and Jurgen Melzer was in 1999. He has always had

:27:16. > :27:22.great promise. I think sometimes that was the frustration when he

:27:22. > :27:25.went on to the main tour, because he is a fiery character. He has

:27:25. > :27:29.calmed down in recent years and the results have improved because of

:27:29. > :27:39.that. I think he was frustrated with not being so successful on the

:27:39. > :27:48.

:27:48. > :27:51.Well, if this Russian and Indian pairing are to get back into the

:27:51. > :28:01.match they have to be a little more proactive and take a few more

:28:01. > :28:12.

:28:12. > :28:22.chances and get a bit more This pair have served very well

:28:22. > :28:26.

:28:26. > :28:31.between them. Winning almost 90 % Not often the way in doubles, but

:28:31. > :28:36.we have -- not unusual in doubles, but we have not had prolonged

:28:36. > :28:46.rallies. Well the reason for that is that their opposition are only

:28:46. > :28:46.

:28:46. > :29:46.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:29:46. > :29:56.Bhupathi will rule that. They just didn't really pressure the Benesova

:29:56. > :30:03.

:30:03. > :30:07.serve at all. Benesova is the least She certainly looks nervous trying

:30:07. > :30:17.to serve out for a place in the final. There were all sorts of

:30:17. > :30:17.

:30:17. > :31:05.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:31:05. > :31:15.discussions. Vesnina much more Well, they do what they had to do.

:31:15. > :31:20.

:31:20. > :31:25.Might not re, but last year, it was Vesnina who had to be the shoulder

:31:25. > :31:30.the cry on for Vera Zvonareva because they made the finals last

:31:30. > :31:36.year, and that her fellow Russian had it tough. Losing in the singles.

:31:36. > :31:41.As they were losing in the doubles, Vera really started to crack a

:31:41. > :31:46.little, and I have to say, Elena was terrific in just getting them

:31:46. > :31:53.at least through the match, without too many dramas. They didn't win

:31:53. > :32:00.but she is experienced at this level. She has developed, but

:32:00. > :32:03.lovely player. Struggles to break- in to the Russian teams. But really

:32:03. > :32:09.making a name for herself in the doubles now. And lost in the second

:32:09. > :32:14.round of the singles here to Vera Zvonareva. Reached the semifinals

:32:14. > :32:24.of the Ladies' Doubles as the number four seeds with Mirza. Lost

:32:24. > :32:32.

:32:32. > :32:36.to the eventual winners. Now, If you are a good singles player

:32:36. > :32:42.and a decent doubles player with plenty of stamina, you can pick up

:32:42. > :32:46.a bit of cash. Not that that is what it is all about. Early on in

:32:46. > :32:49.your career, that is, what it is about. So many of the eastern

:32:49. > :32:59.Europeans and the Russian, they play doubles because that is only

:32:59. > :33:11.

:33:11. > :33:16.way they are going to get from A to You can see that black sweat band

:33:16. > :33:23.on her right wrist. She has had terrible, terrible wrist problems

:33:23. > :33:28.this year. Her partner in women's doubles has had the same problem.

:33:28. > :33:32.They have been able to help each other. Mirzy has been useful as a

:33:32. > :33:39.doubles partner. They made the final of Roland Garros but also

:33:40. > :33:49.medical advice, that is what I call great value in a double s partner.

:33:50. > :33:55.

:33:55. > :33:58.I can hear some Serbian singing Makes me feel we are at the

:33:58. > :34:08.Australian Open. There was a lot of Serbian singing tat Australian open.

:34:08. > :34:18.That is what I have been waiting for from Bhupati. This is

:34:18. > :34:33.

:34:33. > :34:43.Melzer is untroubled in his serve. You suspect it will have to be on

:34:43. > :34:43.

:34:43. > :35:29.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:35:29. > :35:39.APPLAUSE. Amazing from Melzer. I am not sure he has missed a ball out

:35:39. > :36:10.

:36:10. > :36:17.here. He has the bit between his Again, the pressure pouring down on

:37:16. > :37:39.

:37:39. > :37:43.APPLAUSE. It is the only shot they have got these two. Hold it and try

:37:43. > :37:47.and pressure Benesova. I am sure as this set gets to the end game,

:37:47. > :37:50.really, for Benesova and Melzer. It will be Benesova, I am not saying

:37:50. > :37:54.this unfairly. I think she will feel it out there, the enormity of

:37:54. > :38:04.the moment, so the more they can pressure her, the better. They will

:38:04. > :38:10.

:38:10. > :38:14.Look at this end range power from Melzer on the stretch. So strong,

:38:14. > :38:18.so strong with the right arm coming through there. On the double hander.

:38:18. > :38:22.He is very concerned. He would love the double break here. I think they

:38:22. > :38:27.feel it is certainly on. I wonder if he will look to move across

:38:27. > :38:37.straight after his partner has return serve. Keep an eye out for

:39:23. > :39:33.there was the delegation that you like so much, and then there was

:39:33. > :40:13.

:40:13. > :40:21.the kitchen sink from Vesnina and Melzer again. Wonderful

:40:21. > :40:25.anticipation and execution... not sure Vesnina knows where to

:40:25. > :40:30.serve for, this is when your partner can help you out. Give you

:40:30. > :40:34.just a bit of support on your decision. They are going to go I

:40:34. > :40:44.formation. They would love to get the first volley after that return.

:44:26. > :44:32.right. I thought Jurgen Melzer was the stand out player on the court.

:44:32. > :44:36.Maybe that goes some way to erasing the disappointment for not

:44:36. > :44:40.defending his men's title. Iveta Benesova what a moment for her,

:44:40. > :44:45.lovely player, lovely young woman. Been on tour a long time and this

:47:58. > :48:03.I think everybody thought that would be a long and close match,

:48:03. > :48:07.but they have been in tremendous for -- form, Melzer and Benesova,

:48:07. > :48:11.and they are enjoying their moment in the royal box. So that is the

:48:11. > :48:16.last match completed on Centre Court at these championships. But

:48:16. > :48:21.earlier today there were scenes of joy for this man, Novak Djokovic,

:48:21. > :48:24.kissing the trophy, the trophy he has dreamed about holding since he

:48:24. > :48:30.started, the tournament he wanted to win above all others. He has a

:48:30. > :48:35.tight grip on that famous trophy. BP -- she became world No. 1 on

:48:35. > :48:40.Friday and he defeated Rafael Nadal in four sex and played awesome

:48:40. > :48:48.tennis. Novak Djokovic is the big story of the championships -- in

:48:48. > :48:53.The junior girls' singles was completed earlier, one by the

:48:54. > :48:59.Australian, who put out the much higher ranked player of Russia. She

:48:59. > :49:06.won it 7-5, 7-6. And what a shock to finish on. Well done, and I'm

:49:06. > :49:12.sure we will hear a lot more from That makes it a double for the

:49:12. > :49:14.Australians, because look Savell won the boys' singles yesterday,

:49:14. > :49:22.and there isn't Eighteen-year-old called Bernard Tom which he was

:49:22. > :49:25.doing well. And then to look out Talking of the juniors, we will

:49:25. > :49:35.take you to court number one, because we are guaranteed a British

:49:35. > :49:38.

:49:38. > :49:48.winner. Oliver Golding will be up against Morgan in the boys' doubles.

:49:48. > :49:53.

:49:53. > :50:00.It is one set apiece as we join We did mention earlier that

:50:00. > :50:03.sometimes Goulding does let the cork popped out of the bottle.

:50:03. > :50:13.Important that they respond positively here. No time for a

:50:13. > :50:30.

:50:30. > :50:40.It is all about returns down to the diagonal service box at this stage.

:50:40. > :50:40.

:50:40. > :51:53.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:51:53. > :51:59.Returns need to be firmly struck. Again, not quite the right shot

:51:59. > :52:06.from Oliver Golding. You have to go hard and flat from that position.

:52:06. > :52:11.We did talk about the fact that there are power houses there, but

:52:11. > :52:17.have you seen enough variation to impress you so far in the match? Or

:52:17. > :52:21.are they in need of the ability to hit the odd shot with top-spin,

:52:21. > :52:25.dink it to the feet. We saw the lob from Oliver Golding in the first

:52:25. > :52:28.set, but we didn't see much in the second. They did start out with a

:52:28. > :52:34.rich variety but now they are going to their natural game, powering

:52:34. > :52:39.through. That one needed to go down to the toes. That is what happens

:52:39. > :52:44.when you get a little tight. The hands can stiffen up a bit. Of

:52:44. > :52:48.course, this is such a big stage and the big occasion for all four

:52:48. > :52:51.boys. You can understand how that might happen. But they do have to

:52:51. > :53:01.take care of the small moments and the big moment will take care of

:53:01. > :53:11.

:53:11. > :53:21.It is all about you can get it together, right here, right now.

:53:21. > :53:29.

:53:29. > :53:36.One ball at a time, they have to Oliver Golding has just gone off

:53:36. > :53:40.the boil a little bit. And when that happens in doubles it is

:53:40. > :53:50.important for your partner to the GU up and get the focus back on

:53:50. > :53:53.This happened in yesterday's game, and Oliver Golding went walkabout

:53:53. > :54:03.on a service game. But he got pulled through by his partner. They

:54:03. > :54:04.

:54:04. > :54:09.He is earning the court and giving them a hard time. They will have to

:54:10. > :54:19.change the scenery and maybe do and by a formation. Some sort of

:54:20. > :54:32.

:54:32. > :54:42.different stance all look. Too many I think Oliver Golding has put off

:54:42. > :54:51.

:54:51. > :54:54.But you do have to be prepared for Good skills from Oliver Golding,

:54:54. > :55:04.but he was distracted, but he brought it back and refocused. He

:55:04. > :55:28.

:55:28. > :55:38.did not let that contaminate the 810 shot rally. Each and every

:55:38. > :55:54.

:55:54. > :55:57.Another phenomenal rally. Oliver Golding apologises, but he

:55:57. > :56:07.certainly wanted to make a statement there and was able to do

:56:07. > :56:46.

:56:46. > :56:56.A nice bruise there tomorrow, but I can't recall the last time that

:56:56. > :56:58.

:56:58. > :57:08.Working that ball back into play. It streamy focused, isn't he? --

:57:08. > :57:23.

:57:23. > :57:33.That was a very sensible shot from And, of course, that could be a

:57:33. > :57:36.

:57:36. > :57:40.He has got to be careful. Just losing his rag a bit at the moment.

:57:40. > :57:50.You can understand the anguish and the pain. But the match isn't over

:57:50. > :57:54.

:57:54. > :58:04.yet. He needs a positive response No question that Morgan and his

:58:04. > :58:11.

:58:11. > :58:21.partner have wrestled the momentum He just took his eye off the ball

:58:21. > :58:35.

:58:35. > :58:41.Hesitancy there. Having missed the penultimate volley just now, very

:58:41. > :58:48.hesitant around the volley. That puts George Morgan Ilic -- in a

:58:48. > :58:58.little bit of a serving a whole. He will have to get the big ones M. --

:58:58. > :59:00.

:59:00. > :59:06.It just shows you how important the first point of the game is. An easy

:59:06. > :59:16.volley, took his eye off it, it missed it and suddenly there is the

:59:16. > :59:28.

:59:29. > :59:34.merest hint of a chance for Oliver On reflection, you could say that

:59:34. > :59:37.the one easy forehand volley could cost them the title. A nice

:59:38. > :59:43.response, and a lot of responsibility on his shoulders,

:59:43. > :59:47.because his partner is struggling and that was a good response and he

:59:47. > :59:57.will talk him round and keeping calm and get back on track. That

:59:57. > :00:02.

:00:02. > :00:08.The 13th day of the 125th Championships at SW19. An historic

:00:08. > :00:18.day on Centre Court. Creating our own little piece of history out on

:00:18. > :00:23.Court No. 1 but as far as the Fabulous match so far. Of course,

:00:23. > :00:33.we are not beautifully poised, early stages of this deciding set,

:00:33. > :00:33.

:00:33. > :01:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:01:52. > :01:56.APPLAUSE. Ninth ace seals the game. Such a bonus when you can hold

:01:56. > :02:01.service as comfortably as that. We were talking about the momentum

:02:01. > :02:11.switch in the early stages of this third set. That has gone now. And

:02:11. > :02:28.

:02:28. > :02:33.if anything, it is now with Golding Well taken, George Morgans calls

:02:33. > :02:43.assertively. "That's mine." He despatchs that nicely. Good, calm

:02:43. > :02:43.

:02:43. > :03:51.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:03:51. > :03:57.No call. The umpire steps in. Good Pavic was backing off there, he

:03:57. > :04:07.didn't fancy another in the ribs, did he? Absolutely. Once bitten

:04:07. > :04:45.

:04:45. > :04:51.That will get them back on track. It is a little quieter now on

:04:51. > :05:00.Henman Hill. All the excitement earlier today of Novak Djokovic

:05:00. > :05:06.winning his first Wimbledon title, defeating Rafael Nadal in keeping

:05:06. > :05:10.an eye on the mixed doubles there. Just about to get the trophy now.

:05:10. > :05:15.It is a nice way to finish the Championships that. The screens

:05:15. > :05:25.have been a real bonus, Henman Hill t screen on number one court,

:05:25. > :05:43.

:05:43. > :05:53.number two and three where fans can Shame, that was a good return

:05:53. > :06:03.Morgan has started to hit that forehand a little better but too

:06:03. > :06:05.

:06:05. > :06:09.much spin on the last one. A little This will help Golding I think,

:06:09. > :06:19.after that poor service game in the early stages of this deciding set.

:06:19. > :06:33.

:06:33. > :06:36.This one started an awful lot It is tricky for gold in that

:06:37. > :06:43.situation, because that team are playing catch up the whole time.

:06:43. > :06:47.They are always having, they are having to tie up to three all, four

:06:47. > :06:51.all and it is quite a strain, but him doing with, so with aplomb

:06:51. > :07:01.there, holding to love very assertive game. Interesting eye

:07:01. > :07:04.

:07:04. > :07:14.Bag to regulation for the second. That is what normally happens. --

:07:14. > :07:28.

:07:28. > :07:33.Oh such a shame. What a rally. What Great get from George Morgan there.

:07:33. > :07:38.Gets up to his feet. And ready to spring and so he does. Clash of

:07:38. > :07:48.racket, too much power, the ball sent long. Having a great time out

:07:48. > :07:49.

:07:49. > :07:54.Nicely done, so close to the net, those angles are a lot easier as a

:07:55. > :07:59.result. Of course, they are so confident, they are not going to

:07:59. > :08:04.get lobbed off such a big serve, that is, why why they can get nice

:08:04. > :08:14.and tight on the net. But we saw Golding use the lob intelligently

:08:14. > :08:48.

:08:48. > :08:58.Again Pavic with great hands here, getting the ball nice down wide of

:08:58. > :09:05.

:09:05. > :09:09.APPLAUSE. Dropping the hammer again, We are now very much this the

:09:09. > :09:14.business end of this deciding set. Who is your money on Paul? It is

:09:14. > :09:17.really tight. It is hard to say. I mean, the momentum can sway so fast

:09:17. > :09:23.can't it, double fault here and suddenly it sways back. I am going

:09:23. > :09:27.to sit on the fence at this stage, just for a change! It is only a two

:09:27. > :09:32.horse race. Who is your money on? The third pair. I don't know, it is

:09:32. > :09:38.tough isn't it. At the moment, I'm going with Morgan Pavic, because

:09:38. > :09:42.they seem to have an edge of momentum but we know how quickly

:09:42. > :09:46.that can swivel round. You? Perhaps because they have that one game

:09:46. > :09:51.advantage as well, as you get to the tail end of the third set, that

:09:51. > :10:01.could prove vital. Yes, we have spoke oven that early. Abound with

:10:01. > :10:03.

:10:03. > :10:11.energy as well right now. We need She didn't look particularly happy

:10:12. > :10:19.with it? Think she got some in her hair! Now is this the chance, a

:10:19. > :10:29.sloppy volley there, first point of the game. A chance now for Morgan

:10:29. > :10:29.

:10:29. > :11:29.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:11:29. > :11:35.They only hit at 94mph but APPLAUSE. Well they have not had a

:11:35. > :11:39.lot of... Opportunity the returning team there, that is so far a very

:11:39. > :11:42.solid service game from Vesely and Morgan. He keeps the weight on the

:11:43. > :11:47.serve, very difficult to make inroads on return when he is

:11:47. > :11:57.getting the first serve in, Jiri Veseley, window of opportunity here,

:11:57. > :12:13.

:12:13. > :12:17.Beautiful hand skills. Gets the ball up and down with aplomb.

:12:17. > :12:27.Vesely didn't quite commit to chasing that one, I think he

:12:27. > :12:35.

:12:35. > :12:40.thought it was going out P -- out. He has some lovely feel, those

:12:40. > :12:50.ground strokes. Yeah, he has rarely missed a return, the man in the

:12:50. > :12:50.

:12:50. > :13:51.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:13:52. > :14:01.It is all about holding your nerve now. At this stage in the final.

:14:02. > :14:14.

:14:14. > :14:19.has certainly been nip and tuck the He let the racket head drop on this

:14:19. > :14:24.volley a little too fast. He is losing control. That sometimes

:14:24. > :14:30.happens with players who double hand backhand, when the other hand

:14:30. > :14:40.comes off their occasionally lose control. -- they occasionally lose

:14:40. > :14:56.

:14:56. > :15:00.Just made it. Great anticipation there from Vesely. He knew that

:15:00. > :15:05.they were trying to create the angle with the volley, so he was

:15:05. > :15:11.already on the move. And a very sensible shot, in the middle of the

:15:11. > :15:21.court. Such a good tactic to use. They have created a window of

:15:21. > :15:34.

:15:34. > :15:37.Again the return from Golding, not quite hit with enough spin. We have

:15:37. > :15:40.seen him struggle in that regard, throughout the course of the match.

:15:40. > :15:50.Likes the power play. Doesn't necessarily have control of the

:15:50. > :16:23.

:16:23. > :16:33.ball when trying to dip it to the UMPIRE: Mr Morgan is challenging

:16:33. > :16:49.

:16:49. > :16:55.the call on the right. The ball was That was a good serve. Excellent

:16:55. > :17:00.second serve from Pavic. A lot of movement on it, through the air and

:17:00. > :17:06.off the court. It was difficult for Golding to get that back in play.

:17:06. > :17:13.Nice Hanger time from Morgan. he did seem to hang up there on a

:17:13. > :17:18.stepladder. A great dispatch. A There have not been many of those

:17:18. > :17:23.today. Just a sloppy volley from Morgan. Again, under pressure. The

:17:23. > :17:33.tension of the occasion and the hands stiffening up. It is tough to

:17:33. > :17:57.

:17:57. > :18:00.The slightly better return, a Remember, they were a break down in

:18:00. > :18:10.the early stages of this deciding set, now an opportunity to break to

:18:10. > :18:11.

:18:11. > :18:15.give them just one game away from A courageous shot from Pavic.

:18:15. > :18:21.I don't know many players who would have gone with that option. Very,

:18:21. > :18:29.very brave under that sort of pressure. Most people would have

:18:29. > :18:39.So where are we going to serve? White, middle, body? Are you going

:18:39. > :18:41.

:18:41. > :18:47.It is always quite telling in those discussions at this stage in such

:18:47. > :18:52.an important match who makes the decision. The service, because

:18:52. > :19:02.clarity is power and -- clarity is paramount. He has to put the serve

:19:02. > :19:09.

:19:09. > :19:13.Again, there is the top spin. That did the damage. A really good shot

:19:13. > :19:23.from Golding. Yes, he got it up and down very quickly, Golding and got

:19:23. > :19:55.

:19:55. > :20:01.some pace in it. Always a tough This takes courage from the Croat.

:20:01. > :20:11.The regular service is hard, but it takes bravery to go out with your

:20:11. > :20:17.

:20:17. > :20:27.least favourite surface. -- least Beautifully done. Terrific hands

:20:27. > :20:32.

:20:32. > :20:36.A really great a lengthy exchange. Dispatched this at -- assertively

:20:36. > :20:40.by the Croat. Very, very alert. What a big holder of serve that was

:20:40. > :20:46.for him. If you weren't we this earlier in the match, it was Pavic

:20:46. > :20:52.who took the match either struck -- graph of the neck in a certain set

:20:52. > :20:55.-- second set. It was Morgan who had played a good game and Pavic

:20:55. > :20:58.really took the responsibility in the second set to say they would

:20:58. > :21:01.get back into the match and this is how we will do it. And again,

:21:01. > :21:09.taking responsibility well throughout the course of the last

:21:09. > :21:13.service game. Yes, he has taken the ownership, and it comes down to

:21:13. > :21:17.mental toughness skills. Focus, body language, positivity and

:21:17. > :21:23.showing the other team you need a business. These two were are doing

:21:23. > :21:33.well in snowballing their momentum. Interesting to see if Oliver

:21:33. > :21:59.

:21:59. > :22:09.Golding can rise to the occasion At least Vesely was positive. There

:22:36. > :22:43.That is a little sloppy. Just seemed to lay back on the wrist,

:22:43. > :22:53.and it spilled over the baseline. Real pressure now on Morgan and

:22:53. > :23:00.

:23:00. > :23:05.Again, the return of serve, dipping to the feet of Golding. Remember,

:23:05. > :23:15.he lost his serve in the early stages of this deciding set. Can he

:23:15. > :23:29.

:23:29. > :23:39.recover here or will it cost him? He threw everything bar the kitchen

:23:39. > :23:57.

:24:20. > :24:25.Never easy when you missed a relatively routine shots like he

:24:25. > :24:31.did midway through the game, but he recovered valiantly. The course,

:24:31. > :24:41.the more often you are in that situation, it is of Peps weight --

:24:41. > :25:13.

:25:13. > :25:21.What a rat-a-tat it was. Jiri Vesely going down the line of

:25:21. > :25:31.Morgan. Vesely not quite getting Probably indicative of a little

:27:32. > :27:35.Even though there is only one game in it, you get the impression it is

:27:35. > :27:39.Morgan and Pavic who have just worked the momentum a little bit

:27:39. > :27:43.better in the deciding set. Of course, they do have the advantage

:27:43. > :27:51.of being a game ahead and there is always more pressure on Golding and

:27:51. > :27:57.Vesely. Yes, has returned so well and created the micro opportunities

:27:57. > :28:01.earlier in the game, then Morgan started to steamroller, but it is a

:28:01. > :28:11.well contested and spirited match. But both teams have acquitted

:28:11. > :28:12.

:28:12. > :28:22.For a nice bonus for those with tickets to Court Number One. They

:28:22. > :28:23.

:28:23. > :28:28.have seen some great matches. This They handled the pressure initially

:29:02. > :29:07.George Morgan did well to get the forehand down to Jiri Vesely, who

:29:07. > :29:17.was a tall boy at 6 ft 4. He dropped his racket and did not

:29:41. > :29:44.quite get his big frame down to the He really was a lurch and focused

:29:44. > :29:54.to this, Oliver Golding. Right on to the middle of a string -- really

:29:54. > :30:07.

:30:07. > :30:11.That is the favourite return of Morgan. So solid off the backhand.

:30:11. > :30:21.Just taking a bit of pace of the return, so it makes it more

:30:21. > :30:33.

:30:33. > :30:36.difficult for the volley. Another Good hands. But again the point set

:30:36. > :30:46.us wonderfully well by Pavic. Morgan's certainly playing his part

:30:46. > :30:46.

:30:46. > :31:58.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:31:58. > :32:04.A victory for the second seeds, over the top seeds. In a

:32:04. > :32:10.magnificent final. All four players certainly playing their parts in a

:32:10. > :32:19.highly entertaining match. But it is Morgan and Pavic who eventually

:32:19. > :32:24.SUE BARKER: And a big cheer from Court Number One crowd and they

:32:24. > :32:33.were given their trophy by Anne Jones who was on court. There they

:32:33. > :32:38.are, the champions of Wimbledon. Congratulations to George Morgan

:32:38. > :32:42.and to Mate Pavic, winners of the Boys' Doubles. And we are going to

:32:43. > :32:46.stay on the air for about another half hour to look back at these

:32:46. > :32:50.Championships. Raise John is still with me and John, we are talking

:32:50. > :32:54.there about the boy, because Liam Broady got through to the singles

:32:54. > :32:58.final and then George beating Oliver Golding. We had two in the

:32:58. > :33:05.doubles final. It is, has been a good Championships for the

:33:05. > :33:07.youngsters. It has been. But as always we have to be temperate a

:33:08. > :33:12.bit. There is some juniors that could be playing here that are on

:33:12. > :33:17.the main tour, so it is not the best in the world here in this

:33:17. > :33:21.junior, so we can't go overboard. What we have to look at is whether

:33:21. > :33:26.the juniors we are watch, do they have the parts of the game they

:33:26. > :33:30.will be able to make the transition into the seniors? So often in the

:33:30. > :33:35.past we don't. There is something different about Liam Broady. He is

:33:35. > :33:41.fiesty, think we have to take it down a level, a bit. Not go vover

:33:41. > :33:45.board. See how they do when they get in with the big guys. Heather

:33:45. > :33:49.Watson and Laura Robson in the women, we saw Laura pushing Maria

:33:49. > :33:53.Sharapova. They can do it but we should just take it easy, it was

:33:53. > :33:57.good, good experience, get good wins in front of a lot of people.

:33:57. > :34:01.It is what counts when they get to the next level. It's a good start.

:34:01. > :34:05.Bernard Tomic who was 18, and he went right the way through the draw

:34:05. > :34:09.to the quarterfinals, you know, he is, he is a rarity in way because

:34:09. > :34:14.he was the youngest one in this tournament, so in the mens they

:34:14. > :34:19.take longer to develop don't they? There is no question. If you look t

:34:19. > :34:23.the average age on the top 100 is 24, 25 maybe. So yes, it does. You

:34:23. > :34:28.have to look at whether or not we are building, we have juniors in

:34:28. > :34:31.there that have all round games, that will, when they go up against

:34:31. > :34:35.the senior, they can make that difference and not just be sort of

:34:35. > :34:39.good juniors but don't have the power to go to the next level. But

:34:39. > :34:43.there is good signs, but there is a long way to go yet. We will talk in

:34:43. > :34:53.a moment, we have friends of ours to tell them what happened in their

:34:53. > :35:00.matches, first of all we had the senior mens' doubles.. No title for

:35:00. > :35:07.Britain this time but as Jeremy Bates was beaten. So Cash and

:35:07. > :35:14.Woodforde won their title 10-5 in that tie-break. And Hingis, the

:35:14. > :35:19.champion here in 97 as a 1-year-old along with our BBC colleague

:35:19. > :35:25.Lindsay Davenport. They won over Martina Navratilova and her partner.

:35:25. > :35:30.Well done to them. Now in the last few days out on court 14, the stars

:35:30. > :35:40.of wheelchair tennis have been Newcastle in action. Two finals

:35:40. > :35:48.

:35:48. > :35:54.were completed and Nick Hope can Peter fo for folk and his partner

:35:54. > :36:00.are the two big names in the world of wheelchair tennis. Ladies first.

:36:00. > :36:04.She is simply a champion like no other. Five Paralympic golds,

:36:04. > :36:09.undefeated in singles since 2003. That is a run that stretches over

:36:09. > :36:11.400 matches. I know I can win a tournament. I know I can beat

:36:12. > :36:16.everybody, but then, you know I everybody, but then, you know I

:36:16. > :36:21.have to tell myself it is not a for sure thing. That is what makes me,

:36:21. > :36:25.you know, eager to win every single time. Something she has done in

:36:26. > :36:30.doubles for the last two years. know it is a dream, a dream playing

:36:30. > :36:35.here, it's a dream coming here, and the venue looks great. The people

:36:35. > :36:42.are awesome. It's the whole add mots fear and the tradition based

:36:42. > :36:45.here. -- atmosphere. In the final they took the opening sets 6-4 but

:36:45. > :36:51.things were more tricky in the second and after the match was

:36:51. > :37:01.levelled the favourites found themselves 5-2 in the decider. Cue

:37:01. > :37:05.

:37:05. > :37:10.It was close to losing but I never felt that we didn't have a chance,,

:37:10. > :37:15.so you know, even 5-2 down I was like, you know, we have to change

:37:15. > :37:20.something. But we still have a chance, and you know, being in the

:37:20. > :37:28.final gives you just a bit extra motivation to fight for it, and try

:37:28. > :37:38.your hardest. And despite being a two time plim tick -- Paralympic

:37:38. > :37:45.Having experienced the Centre Court atmosphere, he is keen to change

:37:45. > :37:49.that. I did the coin toss for Roger and Andy Roddick. It is one of

:37:49. > :37:54.those experiences that is fantastic. A bit like when you are going into

:37:54. > :37:58.a Paralympics. We are trying to get the Quad exhibition here for next

:37:58. > :38:02.year, leading into the Paralympics. It is one of those challenges I

:38:02. > :38:07.haven't succeeded in. I would love to win a Wimbledon Championship. I

:38:07. > :38:14.have won most things but not that yet. There were some guys in action.

:38:14. > :38:19.The men's doubles final was contested between the French

:38:19. > :38:24.pairing and the Dutch pair. It was a repeat of last month's French

:38:24. > :38:30.Open final but it was the Dutch pair who triumphed here. We didn't

:38:30. > :38:34.do bad this week. I mean, it means really a lot for us, we won,, three

:38:35. > :38:40.Grand Slams before, we never won this. Winning is really important

:38:40. > :38:48.for us, especially, the fourth Grand Slam for us, and last week we

:38:48. > :38:52.lost from them in a final, in the French Open, so now we beat them,

:38:52. > :38:56.and then at Wimbledon, it is incredible. Lovely to see them here,

:38:56. > :39:00.it was a good day for the Dutch. We wish them well in their preparation

:39:00. > :39:04.for the Paralympic. Someone who didn't have a good day on Centre

:39:04. > :39:08.Court was Rafael Nadal. He was on a 20 match winning streak but that

:39:08. > :39:13.came to an end where he was beaten by an inspired Novak Djokovic who a

:39:13. > :39:21.couple of days has taken his world number one ranking. Let us hear

:39:21. > :39:27.from him. I am sorry about the result, give us your story of the

:39:27. > :39:34.match. Well, the story is... He played better than me. He is 2

:39:34. > :39:39.champion. For sure I have to analyse whether, but today, I think,

:39:39. > :39:46.I did a few things. When you won that third set, you must have

:39:46. > :39:52.thought "I've got a chance now." Well, always. Even with two sets

:39:52. > :39:57.there, I am fighting every moment, but... Yeah, first set was

:39:57. > :40:00.important set, but that's, that's the thing is, I didn't play well.

:40:00. > :40:06.The important moment during the match. To win this kind of match,

:40:06. > :40:10.you have to play really well mentally and all the important

:40:10. > :40:13.moment, that is, something I didn't. Is that what makes the result so

:40:13. > :40:22.much more disappointing and annoying, because you know you

:40:22. > :40:26.didn't play your best? No, no, no. You know, I accept that the sport,

:40:26. > :40:31.you cannot win every time. I am happy to be here, enjoying this

:40:31. > :40:36.moment, enjoying the final, you know. He played better than me.

:40:36. > :40:43.That's what I can do, the thing that I can do, is keep working hard,

:40:43. > :40:50.try the find the way the try to beat him this time. And you know,

:40:50. > :40:55.be the second of Wimbledon is a fantastic result for me. You are

:40:55. > :40:58.still very young, only 25. Could you even describe how you get over

:40:59. > :41:02.such a sporting disappointment? You are maying in the biggest final in

:41:02. > :41:09.the world, yet you have lost. How long does it take you to recover

:41:09. > :41:18.from a disappointing result like this? You know, life is more

:41:18. > :41:24.important than game. You know it is impossible to win every time. I was

:41:24. > :41:29.with the trophy in Roland Garros a few weeks ago. Today I I lost but I

:41:29. > :41:33.was in the final. I was there. I am a good competitor, I like to win,

:41:33. > :41:40.but I accept when somebody plays better than myself, and when

:41:40. > :41:44.somebody is doing a few things better than me. Today, that is what

:41:44. > :41:49.happen. Tomorrow we are at home enjoying the summer. You are going

:41:49. > :41:53.to fly home to Majorca, do you go fishing, do you play golf, do you

:41:53. > :41:57.sit on the beach to get over the disappointment? I have a lot of

:41:57. > :42:02.people round. I have a fantastic family round me, fantastic friends.

:42:02. > :42:11.A lot of people supporting me. Even today, when I lost, the crowd here

:42:11. > :42:16.were supporting me a lot, and that is something that is impossible to

:42:16. > :42:21.to fill outside of this tournament You will still think yourself I

:42:21. > :42:27.have won ten Grand Slam, which is a wonderful achievement I for sure,

:42:27. > :42:31.if I stopped my career today, what I won is more that I ever dreamed,

:42:31. > :42:36.so, I have got everything. I cannot be very disappointing, to lose

:42:36. > :42:40.today, for sure I want to win, but I already won a lot of times in the

:42:40. > :42:43.past. Yes, he has to remember that. That is the interview no plauer

:42:43. > :42:48.wants to give is it, your heart is broke, and you have to sit there

:42:48. > :42:51.and go through all the duties. and he will reflect in the next few

:42:51. > :42:55.day, because that is what they do, the champion, because he will want

:42:55. > :43:00.to make sure it doesn't happen again, and he will realise today on

:43:00. > :43:05.big points he's didn't play well, which is unusual for him. Credit to

:43:05. > :43:08.Novak, but Rafa can play better than that, he will be disappointed

:43:08. > :43:13.but has the US Open coming up round the corner and he will be back for

:43:13. > :43:17.that for sure. You know he will pick himself up. He is young, he is

:43:17. > :43:22.only 25, and he has many more years at his best, at his peak to do it.

:43:22. > :43:26.Absolutely, I mean he has won ten, he could still win another ten bg

:43:26. > :43:30.easily. But he will be disappointed. He will work on thing, he will

:43:30. > :43:34.analyse it with his coach, with Uncle Toni, they will say this is

:43:34. > :43:39.what we immediate to do to beat Novak. They will come up with a

:43:39. > :43:42.plan. I want to see what he does next time he plays him. Today

:43:42. > :43:46.belonged to Novak Djokovic. He has the President of Serbia in the

:43:46. > :43:49.Royal Box, but also the Foreign Minister of Serbia, who is also the

:43:49. > :43:56.President of the Tennis Association, we can hear from him, because after

:43:56. > :44:01.he spoke to John Inverdale. Listen, here we are surrounded by a load of

:44:01. > :44:05.Serbian fans, what does today mean for your country? This is probably

:44:05. > :44:07.the most important day in the sporting history of the country.

:44:07. > :44:12.Today everyone is very proud. I don't think there is a Serb who

:44:12. > :44:17.lives anywhere in the world who is not very very proud. How can you

:44:17. > :44:23.reward Novak for what he has done for your country today? Well, it is

:44:23. > :44:29.very very difficult to reward him for today, but what we did is, he

:44:29. > :44:34.was made ambassador, and Foreign Minister I so made his ambassador

:44:35. > :44:38.for Serbia. Ha was a small thing we could do to help him facilitate, to

:44:38. > :44:42.travel round the world and keep doing what he is doing for Serbia.

:44:42. > :44:47.Novak Djokovic is the best ambassador, that Serbia has ever

:44:47. > :44:53.had, probably. Now Now you have had two women be world number one, now

:44:53. > :44:58.you have a man at the top. Number one tomorrow. How important for

:44:58. > :45:02.Serbia is tennis, if I say a political web, do you know what I

:45:02. > :45:06.mean, the way of spreading how your country is at the moment? This is

:45:06. > :45:12.indeed the case. Serbia is doing exceptionally well in tennis, and

:45:12. > :45:16.probably we are punching above our weight in the tennis sport, but

:45:16. > :45:19.Novak has made it possible, in every corner of the world they know

:45:19. > :45:25.about Serbia, and they know in the best possible light about Serbia,

:45:25. > :45:27.because there is so much to be known about Serbia. It is nobody is

:45:27. > :45:32.listening, except to Novak, everybody is listening to him and

:45:32. > :45:36.that is why he is is doing a great job for his country. Your country

:45:36. > :45:40.has had so many issue, ten, 15, 20 years ago, is this in a sense a

:45:40. > :45:46.great opportunity for a very positive spin, about Serbia and its

:45:46. > :45:51.future? Definitely. I think that nobody can doubt the fact that

:45:51. > :45:56.Novak is a positive face of Serbia, everybody is excited about his

:45:56. > :46:01.victory, everybody was a bit surprised that jock wasn't greet

:46:01. > :46:05.here in Wimbledon after he had won, like our champions but I am sure

:46:05. > :46:08.when he comes next year and the year after and when he wins next

:46:08. > :46:13.year and the year after next the crowd will warm up to him. Let me

:46:13. > :46:17.ask you in Belgrade and everywhere else, a few parties do you think?

:46:17. > :46:21.think the entire nation will be partying tonight. Watch for the

:46:21. > :46:31.news bulletins from Serbia, I think there are things to be seen from

:46:31. > :46:55.

:46:55. > :46:59.Are you going to sing a song for I think they will be singing for

:46:59. > :47:03.some time in Serbia. Novak Djokovic has merged into this superstar of

:47:03. > :47:06.the game. We are lucky. We had Roger Federer and Nadal and we were

:47:06. > :47:11.blessed with those two players because they got what it was about

:47:11. > :47:15.to be number one and all the things you do outside of the sport to make

:47:15. > :47:18.tennis bigger and bigger, and now we have Novak Djokovic who has

:47:18. > :47:23.great personality and will be a fabulous number one. He is very

:47:23. > :47:27.charismatic. I think he will be a megastar. Winning 48 out of 49

:47:27. > :47:30.matches, he will be number one for some time. So he should be. It's an

:47:30. > :47:37.unbelievable record with the US Open coming up and he is the

:47:37. > :47:41.favourite to win that. You cannot see anyone beating him at the

:47:41. > :47:46.moment. A brief line on Andy Murray, you were saying that he needs a

:47:46. > :47:50.coach and he should give Jimmy Connors a call. The suggestion is

:47:50. > :47:54.if you want to be a great, you hire someone who was a great. That is

:47:54. > :47:58.someone who has been there and done it, and someone like Jimmy, we have

:47:58. > :48:01.seen that Andy has got the game, because we saw it against Nadal for

:48:01. > :48:07.eight set and a bit, but the mental side is a bit behind the top two or

:48:07. > :48:10.three. With someone like Jimmy in his corner every practice session

:48:10. > :48:16.will getting tougher so he can compete at a level he needs to. It

:48:16. > :48:22.would not be a bad suggestion. says he wants to think about it and

:48:22. > :48:25.get it right and he has taken on at that clothing line. Darren Cahill

:48:26. > :48:29.is a wonderful coach, but he has other people in the job he has to

:48:29. > :48:35.work with because he is not full time. When you talk about what

:48:35. > :48:39.separates the top, you want someone who is not part time, in my opinion.

:48:39. > :48:45.Not a bad championship for him. A bad set, and it let him get away.

:48:45. > :48:55.He has made two semi-finals in the last two Grand Slams. He just needs

:48:55. > :48:58.an extra bit, but quite a bit at the moment, and he can do it.

:48:58. > :49:01.2011 championships coming to a close. We have ground to new
