There is a buzz around the grounds here, but then there always is on | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
men's finals day, but there is a special buzz today. An amazing day | 0:00:40 | 0:00:50 | |
0:00:50 | 0:01:00 | ||
on Centre Court as we have witnessed his three Wimbledon crowns. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:07 | |
BORIS BECKER: Since then, 70 Wimbledon men's's singles have been | 0:01:07 | 0:01:13 | |
contested. United States lead the way. Australia are next with 16 | 0:01:13 | 0:01:22 | |
victories. Then comes Sweden with seven. And Switzerland with seven. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:29 | |
Germany have for. And Spain three. --4. The remaining six titles are | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
shared amongst six countries, including Croatia and Serbia. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:41 | |
Fred Perry to the present, the home fans have experienced... 77 years of | 0:01:42 | 0:01:48 | |
expectation. 77 years of close calls. 77 years of pain. To you, we | 0:01:48 | 0:01:57 | |
salute your patience. For at the 71st attempt, congratulations, | 0:01:57 | 0:02:04 | |
Britain. Your wait is finally over. He is a third of the way there. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
Lymphatic or what? The waiting is over! Andy Murray is the Wimbledon | 0:02:09 | 0:02:15 | |
champion! -- emphatic or what? champion! -- emphatic or what? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
SUE BARKER: And this is how he did champion! -- emphatic or what? | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
SUE BARKER: And this is how He had had a number of championships | 0:02:20 | 0:02:27 | |
before, but -- championship points before, but that element that | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
Britain has a Wimbledon champion. Andy Murray produced his best tennis | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
to win in straight sets against the world number one. The had to beat | 0:02:33 | 0:02:43 | |
0:02:43 | 0:02:43 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 125 seconds | 0:02:43 | 0:04:49 | |
today, it was an unbelievably tough match, so many long games and I | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
don't know how I managed to come through. That final game was | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
unbelievable, from three match points, so I am so glad to finally | 0:04:55 | 0:05:05 | |
0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | ||
SUE BARKER: Just talk us through that last game. It was torturous to | 0:05:08 | 0:05:17 | |
watch. How did you feel? Imagine playing it! I have played Novak many | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
times, and when everyone has finished playing, he's going to go | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
down as one of the biggest fighters. He has come back from so many times | 0:05:25 | 0:05:32 | |
in winning positions -- from losing positions. But I don't know, I | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
managed to squeeze through. played such a good match, but how | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
good weather fans here, and on Henman Hill, and in Dunblane, and at | 0:05:40 | 0:05:50 | |
0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | ||
home? -- how good were. I understood how much everyone wanted to see a | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
British winner at Wimbledon, so I hope you guys enjoyed it. I tried my | 0:05:58 | 0:06:08 | |
0:06:08 | 0:06:08 | ||
best. And I know you would like to mention your team, but I'm glad you | 0:06:08 | 0:06:13 | |
did not forget your mum. I did forget! I just heard her squealing | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
behind me when I was trying to get down and I turned back. They have | 0:06:17 | 0:06:22 | |
been through everything with me. I have got a great team who have stuck | 0:06:22 | 0:06:31 | |
with me through a lot of tough moments, and this one, especially | 0:06:31 | 0:06:41 | |
for Ivan as well, because I know He did everything. He did everything | 0:06:41 | 0:06:48 | |
to try and win this one when he was playing, and he is a fantastic | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
person, worked extremely hard with me and been very patient, because | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
I'm not easy at times, said thank you to everyone up there. And he is | 0:06:56 | 0:07:05 | |
smiling as well. How much do you remember of that last point? I have | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
no idea what happened. I really don't know what happened. In fact, I | 0:07:10 | 0:07:14 | |
don't know how long that last game was. I can't even remember, I'm | 0:07:14 | 0:07:21 | |
sorry. I was concentrating. We will enjoy watching a time and time | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
again. Ladies and gentlemen, the Wimbledon champion for 2013, | 0:07:25 | 0:07:35 | |
0:07:35 | 0:07:41 | ||
Britain's Andy Murray! What a moment this was for Andy. I | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
don't think he's ever going to let go of that trophy, but seeing his | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
name on the board alongside the all-time greats, Federer is on their | 0:07:48 | 0:07:54 | |
seven times, Nadal and Djokovic, and Andy Murray, the first British | 0:07:54 | 0:08:00 | |
winner since 1936, and the way he isn't playing, -- is playing, you | 0:08:00 | 0:08:05 | |
wouldn't bet against more coming in. I am here in the studio with Boris | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
Becker and John Lloyd. Boris, these are the moments that are so special | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
about winning Wimbledon. This doesn't really happen at the other | 0:08:11 | 0:08:17 | |
Grand Slams. No, you win on the court and the ceremony started and | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
it is nice too, but Wimbledon has a different tradition. It is the | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
oldest of all the Grand Slams, it is the most prestigious, and this is | 0:08:25 | 0:08:30 | |
the Walker glory, where you shake everybody's hands -- the walk of | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
glory. These are the people behind the scenes, who make this tournament | 0:08:34 | 0:08:41 | |
work perfectly. Roger Taylor, semifinalist here. And to beat the | 0:08:41 | 0:08:49 | |
world number one, he had to beat the best on the day to get that trophy. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
In three straight sets, that was the one score I didn't think would | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
happen, three straight sets to either of them, and it is | 0:08:55 | 0:09:00 | |
unbelievable. There is no reason, first things first, here's won | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
Wimbledon, so we will give him five minutes to relax and now he has got | 0:09:04 | 0:09:09 | |
to look at being number one in the world. Why not? Multiple Grand Slams | 0:09:09 | 0:09:16 | |
ahead of him. He is the holding of two of the four grand slam titles. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:25 | |
The other ones are Djokovic and Federer. But he is the number one | 0:09:25 | 0:09:31 | |
player. So many of these people over the years, they have not been able | 0:09:31 | 0:09:35 | |
to get to Centre Court but they get a picture. He is finally letting the | 0:09:35 | 0:09:40 | |
trophy go but I'm sure he will want to get it back. Andy is making his | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
way through to the locker room and I think possibly, Boris, it will be | 0:09:44 | 0:09:50 | |
beginning to sink in. Yes. I think those pictures we have seen, he is | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
still somewhat in the zone, thinking about that match point. He couldn't | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
remember when you ask him, he didn't remember the match point. That is | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
how much he was concentrating and living in the moment. It is exactly | 0:10:02 | 0:10:07 | |
what he hasn't done in the past, and had does so differently now. I'm | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
sure by now, he has had a shower, maybe a little massage, a little | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
talk with Ivan, making him realise what he has just done. He has | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
written tennis history, so many levels, and I'm sure that when we | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
get the chance to talk to him later, he will have a different phase. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
Absolutely. We have heard from Andy Murray, but he beat a great champion | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
and a man who was very gracious on court, the world number one Novak | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
Djokovic. He has been talking to Phil Jones. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
Novak, I know these interviews are never easy, so we appreciate you | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
talking to us. You showed great grace on court, and now you have had | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
more time to reflect on how you look back on what happened? Not that much | 0:10:47 | 0:10:52 | |
time, I have just got off the court. I am still warm headed and | 0:10:52 | 0:10:56 | |
disappointed with the lost, but it is what you cannot win all of the | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
matches and I lost to a better opponent today will stop a player | 0:10:59 | 0:11:06 | |
who was more patient and just better in the important moments. Obviously, | 0:11:06 | 0:11:12 | |
I feel sorry that I could not come up with my best game when I needed | 0:11:12 | 0:11:20 | |
to, especially the service, and a few unforced errors. No real | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
efficiency on the net. All of these things combined allowed him to get a | 0:11:24 | 0:11:30 | |
straight sets win. Physically, headed you feel out there? I felt | 0:11:30 | 0:11:36 | |
OK, you know? It was a lot of long rallies. We took a lot more time | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
between the points. Every time we play against each other, that is | 0:11:39 | 0:11:44 | |
what we expect. A lot of pain on the court, physical and mental pain and | 0:11:44 | 0:11:49 | |
I cannot look for any excuses because I played a five-hour | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
semi-final, I have been in these situations before and managed to | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
recover. I just maybe lacked that little bit more explosiveness from | 0:11:56 | 0:12:01 | |
my legs at important moments and that is why I went for some shots I | 0:12:01 | 0:12:08 | |
wouldn't go for and lost patience. Even at the end when you had three | 0:12:08 | 0:12:13 | |
match points and then took them away from him, we know the great | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
comebacks you have achieved in the past, what is going to your mind at | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
that point? We've focused only on the point? Did you think, I can do | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
this, I am on the verge of something special? Obviously, you feel when | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
you are matchpoint down and the crowd is very loud, and it is an | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
incredible atmosphere with big support for him, I just tried to | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
stay composed and I was very frustrated with dropping the lead in | 0:12:37 | 0:12:43 | |
both the second and third sets, when I was 4-2 up and inexplicably made | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
some unforced errors and got him back into the match and didn't use | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
my chances, and he did use his and he had his first serve when he | 0:12:51 | 0:12:56 | |
needed and deserved to win. Is this the future of men's tennis, you and | 0:12:56 | 0:13:02 | |
him head to head? Taking the game on to new levels? Hopefully. I enjoy | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
our big matches, it is a big challenge for me to play against him | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
always. It is very high intensity and a very high level of tennis. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
Hopefully, our rivalry can develop over the years. Finally, you knew it | 0:13:14 | 0:13:19 | |
was going to be a partisan crowd today, wanting a British champion | 0:13:19 | 0:13:27 | |
after 77 years, but the reception you got, you are embraced ever-more | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
by the crowd and I hope you feel that. Yes, I appreciate that very | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
much. I know how much it means to the crowd and everybody who watched | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
the match today. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of this match | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
because this is the most valuable tennis final in the world. Everybody | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
watches it, especially in this country, where they had a British | 0:13:45 | 0:13:50 | |
player and hopes for Andy to win. He won, it is the perfect setting. For | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
me, it was another year, a great tournament and hopefully I will come | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
back stronger next year. Speak what I am sure you will and will have | 0:13:57 | 0:14:03 | |
many more winning moment --I'm sure you will and will have many more | 0:14:03 | 0:14:08 | |
winning moments. He is a class act. Years. He had a | 0:14:08 | 0:14:14 | |
tough match at the French Open against Nadal, lost that one and | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
then came here and played against an inspired opponent who was absolutely | 0:14:18 | 0:14:23 | |
brilliant today. He is obviously very disappointed. I think we have | 0:14:23 | 0:14:27 | |
the makings of a great rivalry. the fact they are so similar, they | 0:14:27 | 0:14:32 | |
played as punishing baseline game and the points in the games are so | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
long and so punishing but Andy did have the answers. It must be | 0:14:36 | 0:14:44 | |
worrying for Novak? He spoke about losing patience, losing a step or | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
two in the semifinals against Del Potro. Novak does cover a lot of | 0:14:47 | 0:14:56 | |
miles on the court with the sliding and the ankle, it does get to you | 0:14:56 | 0:15:06 | |
0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | ||
eventually the reason -- and the reason it gets deuce because Murray | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
has shown the quality today, he made Djokovic shorten the rallies of | 0:15:14 | 0:15:18 | |
cover dropshots. You know how competitive Novak is and how he has | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
improved has pushed Andy and having lost to Andy here and at the US | 0:15:21 | 0:15:26 | |
Open, Novak has got to raise his game, and you know he will. The | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
level of tennis they may produce could be even more spectacular than | 0:15:29 | 0:15:39 | |
0:15:39 | 0:15:40 | ||
we have seen today. Exactly, they cancel each other out. One thing the | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
day, his serve, you think that Andy Murray might get some cheap points | 0:15:43 | 0:15:48 | |
on his service games, but Novak only served four aces today, something | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
ridiculously small. It was like Andy Murray new weather serve was going, | 0:15:52 | 0:15:57 | |
reading it a lot better than vice versa -- where the serve was going. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
He did use dropshots a bit too much but it was just one of those days. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:08 | |
Murray was just incredible. That have a look at some of the points in | 0:16:08 | 0:16:13 | |
have a look at some of the points in the break set -- final set. We can | 0:16:13 | 0:16:22 | |
just sit back in awe and watch some of these. Spectacular hitting and | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
the running they were doing, Boris? And we forget how hot it was, | 0:16:26 | 0:16:31 | |
scorching. Over 40 degrees on the court, and you give anybody a tennis | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
racket, run around the ten minutes, let alone to three hours, in front | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
of millions of people, they cannot do it. It just goes to show the | 0:16:39 | 0:16:43 | |
quality, the spirit of these players have, to put it all on the line. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:50 | |
the aggression he has been saying he wanted to use was there today. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:56 | |
Beforehand has improved immensely. We have talked about the mental side | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
but the forehand, going crosscourt to Novak Djokovic and then suddenly | 0:16:59 | 0:17:04 | |
blasting it in, he just seemed to read when Novak was hitting the | 0:17:04 | 0:17:10 | |
ball. It was spectacular. How quick is he to get to that ball? And then | 0:17:10 | 0:17:17 | |
he is back again. Again, the drop shot. He played him in areas where | 0:17:17 | 0:17:22 | |
he was not comfortable. Murray made him play like that and that is | 0:17:22 | 0:17:31 | |
something that Joe -- Novak cannot pass away. I think Murray found out | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
a lot about himself when he was a break-up in the third set and it was | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
that the taking and got broken back, a few nervy games and then he proved | 0:17:39 | 0:17:45 | |
he can play the big points. It was a whole turnaround from Djokovic. It | 0:17:45 | 0:17:53 | |
looked like the game was over at two sets to zero and 2-0. And if he had | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
got the third set, who knows what would have happened? But that was | 0:17:57 | 0:18:03 | |
when Murray played his best tennis. And the crowd played their part, | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
look at this. These scenes on Centre Court, absolutely the belief of it | 0:18:07 | 0:18:12 | |
all, it has just lifted everybody. You expected from a home crowd but I | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
still thought they were fair. They were noisy and they supported their | 0:18:16 | 0:18:23 | |
man but they did respect Djokovic. No whistling between serves. Come to | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
Paris and New York, you see different types of crowds. They | 0:18:27 | 0:18:32 | |
stayed within the rules of tennis. We will talk more in a moment but | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
let's hear from one of the all-time greats, what Labour. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:41 | |
That was a fantastic performance, what was your verdict? I feel | 0:18:41 | 0:18:48 | |
exactly the same way. He played extremely well. His strength was his | 0:18:48 | 0:18:52 | |
consistency and I think Djokovic failed a few times, because his | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
forehand let him down and even though he was hitting the ball well, | 0:18:56 | 0:19:02 | |
Andy could chase him down. It was a great result. And now he has got | 0:19:02 | 0:19:08 | |
one, you won four. A second one is easily possible. What do you think? | 0:19:08 | 0:19:13 | |
Yes. It is a lot easier after the first one, I am sure. I think Andy | 0:19:13 | 0:19:17 | |
has got a long career ahead of him and he has played great tennis | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
today, he played well, he did everything well and I think that is | 0:19:20 | 0:19:25 | |
the thing. When he looks back at this, he will say, yes, I played | 0:19:25 | 0:19:30 | |
pretty darn good. He was brewing, thanks so much for talking to us. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
was great and Andy should be very proud of what he has done for the | 0:19:33 | 0:19:39 | |
British Isles. They have always wanted a Fred Perry, and now they | 0:19:39 | 0:19:45 | |
have got a Fred Perry the second. Thank you, cheers. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:50 | |
Lovely to see Rod Laver, one of the game's all-time greats. He knows | 0:19:50 | 0:19:55 | |
that and would have appreciated what those guys did. He's probably the | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
most modest champion I have ever seen, you would think he had won a | 0:19:59 | 0:20:04 | |
couple of Parks tournaments. If he is not the greatest, he was one of | 0:20:04 | 0:20:09 | |
them, a wonderful man and a great player. We saw so many great | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
sportspeople and famous faces in the crowd and I think nobody realised, | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
you probably realise it more than anybody, what a cauldron of tension | 0:20:16 | 0:20:24 | |
that Centre Court can be through a final like that. As a player, you | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
sneak a look at the Royal box and you see who is watching. We watched | 0:20:27 | 0:20:36 | |
the movies, we know Bradley Cooper and some of the others and it just | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
shows you that this isn't just about tennis, it isn't just about sport, | 0:20:40 | 0:20:45 | |
this is the most sought-after ticket in town, and whoever gets ahold of | 0:20:45 | 0:20:50 | |
it is trying to get to the best place, the royal box. And it does | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
affect you a little bit and you start to wonder what will happen. It | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
is going to change my sporting life, and my coming to a different level? | 0:20:59 | 0:21:07 | |
That am I. -- am I. Having Sir Chris Hoyte, Justine Rose watching him. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:17 | |
0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | ||
They have one the pinnacle of their sport -- Chris Hoy. Even they were | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
surprised at what they were watching. And Chris Hoy actually | 0:21:22 | 0:21:27 | |
flew over to watch him in the final in Australia. And there is the Davis | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
Cup captain, probably asking him if he is going to play in September. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:35 | |
Maybe not just yet! And here he is with his friends and family, | 0:21:35 | 0:21:45 | |
0:21:45 | 0:21:53 | ||
Kim's mother -- wife. Having spent time with that young couple at their | 0:21:54 | 0:21:59 | |
home, they have such a very special relationship and she has been such a | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
stabilising influence for him through what is such a high-profile, | 0:22:02 | 0:22:08 | |
goldfish bowl existence. She has been asked if she enjoys coming to | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
Wimbledon and watching and she says no, she's glad when it's all over. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:16 | |
But she will be happy now, because he is the champ. I'm sure the agent | 0:22:16 | 0:22:21 | |
will be very happy as well. That is an understatement! He is rubbing his | 0:22:21 | 0:22:26 | |
hands together. He was well paid before, but this is going to take | 0:22:26 | 0:22:34 | |
him into a whole new stratosphere. He is quite a private bloke. He is | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
on the phone. I wonder if that is to his grand, because she's not here, | 0:22:37 | 0:22:44 | |
she broke her hip. -- to his grandmother. In future, she will be | 0:22:44 | 0:22:49 | |
making him shortbread. She is the best short bread-maker. We use as | 0:22:49 | 0:22:55 | |
coppers than during the Davis Cup, are used to them all. -- we used to | 0:22:55 | 0:23:01 | |
scoff them down. Everybody will be trying to talk to him, he's having | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
trouble there, but, wow, the first glass of champagne for Kim and I am | 0:23:05 | 0:23:10 | |
sure there will be many more. The last time Andy had champagne, he | 0:23:10 | 0:23:15 | |
brushed his teeth with face cream! Having spent so much energy on the | 0:23:15 | 0:23:19 | |
court, he should eat something, otherwise it is straight to the | 0:23:19 | 0:23:24 | |
head. Just before we wind up here, put into context the tennis these | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
guys have played, not just here but in other Grand Slam matches, with | 0:23:27 | 0:23:35 | |
Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, is this the new rivalry? I think so. I | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
have a lot of respect for Roger Federer and Nadal ruling the clay, | 0:23:39 | 0:23:43 | |
but overall, over a 12 month period, I think Djokovic and Murray | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
are the two most consistent players in the world. And the fact that | 0:23:47 | 0:23:52 | |
Murray has played in the last four grand slam finals, he played in the | 0:23:52 | 0:23:57 | |
French, and that Djokovic is the number one player in the world and | 0:23:57 | 0:24:01 | |
being challenged by Murray, it is going to make all the difference. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:05 | |
You cannot write Nadal off but with the injuries he has sustained, we | 0:24:05 | 0:24:09 | |
don't know how bad they are, if you look at the statistics, in the last | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
three years, Roger has anyone one Grand Slam, here last year, and Rafa | 0:24:12 | 0:24:17 | |
has only won one Grand Slam during that period, the French. So these | 0:24:17 | 0:24:22 | |
two really are quite dominant. think the next three or four years, | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
as far as I can see, it will be difficult to prise the Grand Slams | 0:24:26 | 0:24:31 | |
away from one of these players. Perhaps play with Rafa if he doesn't | 0:24:31 | 0:24:36 | |
get injured, but otherwise, these two will dominate. What today it has | 0:24:36 | 0:24:43 | |
been. What was it like in commentary box? Hot and emotional. We were | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
drained watching it. Obviously we love Djokovic, he is a great | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
champion and we respect him so much but obviously, most of the viewers, | 0:24:50 | 0:24:57 | |
we wanted to see Murray win, of course. So we were hitting the ball | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
is back and forth, Andrew and Tim and me. And the quality of the | 0:25:01 | 0:25:06 | |
tennis, it was a great match to watch. Outstanding, between the two | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
best players in the world, and it kept going back and forth. It was a | 0:25:09 | 0:25:15 | |
3-set match that felt like a five set match with the drama. It was | 0:25:15 | 0:25:19 | |
epic. Thank you so much. We do have more tennis, we are going to Centre | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
Court with one more final to come. Before that, though, we will be | 0:25:22 | 0:25:29 | |
following Andy Murray tonight. If you want to see highlights of that | 0:25:29 | 0:25:34 | |
match and enjoy it again, it is on BBC One at 10:25pm, so enjoy John | 0:25:34 | 0:25:41 | |
for Today At Wimbledon. And we have been following Andy Murray for the | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
last few months, what a fairy tale ending to the documentary tomorrow | 0:25:44 | 0:25:50 | |
night. So more behind-the-scenes footage and also what has been | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
happening to him today, and what a day it has been. So let's head to | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
day it has been. So let's head to Centre Court now and join the Mixed | 0:25:58 | 0:26:02 | |
Doubles final. The last remaining final in Wimbledon. It looks as | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
though a few of the fans have gone through a lie down after that as | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
through a lie down after that as well. It is the number one seed | 0:26:08 | 0:26:15 | |
against the number eight scenes. Bruno Soares and Lisa Raymond up | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
against their store and Mladenovic. Let's join Virginia Wade and Mick | 0:26:18 | 0:26:28 | |
0:26:28 | 0:26:57 | ||
for about 15 minutes. Bruno Soares Daniel Nestor, the joint Canadian, | 0:26:57 | 0:27:02 | |
was the first to lose his, but in the immediate game that followed, | 0:27:02 | 0:27:07 | |
Lisa Raymond also coughed up hers, so we are back on serve. One or two | 0:27:07 | 0:27:17 | |
0:27:17 | 0:27:36 | ||
issues for the 31-year-old coming across the court, the ball | 0:27:36 | 0:27:40 | |
comes out of the shadow into the brightness and it is actually quite | 0:27:40 | 0:27:50 | |
0:27:50 | 0:28:02 | ||
difficult to see a ball, especially they found themselves in. Not ready | 0:28:02 | 0:28:07 | |
in truth just get to bring the party to a close and draw a line under the | 0:28:07 | 0:28:16 | |
most extraordinary Wimbledon any of us can ever remember. -- just yet. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:18 | |
An unbelievable fortnight, and as the shadows lengthen on Centre | 0:28:18 | 0:28:24 | |
Court, one match left to play. And it seems appropriate having just | 0:28:24 | 0:28:29 | |
seen Andy Murray win the Men's Singles that we have a word with you | 0:28:29 | 0:28:35 | |
as, before that, the last Briton to win a final in 1977. What were you | 0:28:35 | 0:28:40 | |
living watching Andy win the title? All I was thinking was, you know, | 0:28:40 | 0:28:46 | |
let's get it over with. You didn't want attention to come back in. And | 0:28:46 | 0:28:53 | |
suddenly Djokovic relaxed at the end of the match -- the tension. I'm | 0:28:53 | 0:29:00 | |
just so thrilled for Andy. I mean, who isn't? This number of years that | 0:29:00 | 0:29:05 | |
everybody reminds him of every single time, so it is over now. Now | 0:29:05 | 0:29:10 | |
he is a champion and now here's Wimbledon champion and you can't | 0:29:10 | 0:29:14 | |
hope for anything better. Everything is almost complete, except he will | 0:29:14 | 0:29:23 | |
probably come back and do it next Daniel Nestor. A Canadian | 0:29:23 | 0:29:33 | |
0:29:33 | 0:29:33 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 125 seconds | 0:29:33 | 0:30:14 | |
left-hander, he has 1040 since he new generation of French players. It | 0:30:14 | 0:30:17 | |
has been a very good weekend for French tennis on Centre Court so | 0:30:17 | 0:30:27 | |
0:30:27 | 0:30:28 | ||
far. That was the most comprehensive service game we have seen so far. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:34 | |
Nestor's wife, Natasha. I would have thought that Marion Bartoli would | 0:30:34 | 0:30:39 | |
creep in and watch some of this match. She has been around, getting | 0:30:39 | 0:30:43 | |
all psyched for the dinner tonight. She said she was wearing 15 | 0:30:43 | 0:30:53 | |
0:30:53 | 0:30:59 | ||
about five foot seven. More! There was a pair of shoes in the dressing | 0:30:59 | 0:31:02 | |
room that had the highest heels I have ever seen, and she said the | 0:31:02 | 0:31:12 | |
0:31:12 | 0:31:26 | ||
ones she were going dubbed as she let's have a view from you about the | 0:31:26 | 0:31:31 | |
noise that was in here. It was primeval. How did that compare with | 0:31:31 | 0:31:38 | |
1977, and the moment you had your head in your hands, just having one? | 0:31:38 | 0:31:48 | |
0:31:48 | 0:31:58 | ||
-- just having won? It was genteel is. You can't hear anything when the | 0:31:58 | 0:32:02 | |
whole place is erupting in applause. I don't think you really know what's | 0:32:02 | 0:32:10 | |
going on, because you are so swept away with, you know, just the | 0:32:10 | 0:32:15 | |
fact... You can't even believe it has happened! It takes a while for | 0:32:15 | 0:32:23 | |
it to sink in. And Andy must have been exhausted, because that was | 0:32:23 | 0:32:27 | |
some gruelling match today, and the temperatures that were out here, and | 0:32:27 | 0:32:34 | |
the long rallies. I know it was only three sets, but that was some of the | 0:32:34 | 0:32:44 | |
0:32:44 | 0:32:46 | ||
most tortuous tennis in those three sets. She has some shots in this | 0:32:46 | 0:32:56 | |
0:32:56 | 0:32:56 | ||
game, Kristina Mladenovic! All elegance and power. And precision. | 0:32:56 | 0:33:01 | |
Nice and early, and took it beautifully. The early years of her | 0:33:01 | 0:33:11 | |
career, vying with Laura Robson for the best player. Another Crackerjack | 0:33:11 | 0:33:21 | |
0:33:21 | 0:33:56 | ||
rather invitingly. You would think that was quite a difficult shot. He | 0:33:56 | 0:34:06 | |
0:34:06 | 0:34:12 | ||
just angled it off, reverse angle. Reyes! Soares is an awfully good | 0:34:12 | 0:34:21 | |
doubles player. -- a good shot from Soares. He did so well in the US | 0:34:21 | 0:34:26 | |
Open. It was a team that just happened to be put together at the | 0:34:26 | 0:34:36 | |
0:34:36 | 0:34:43 | ||
her sleep! Soares one that title in New York with another doubles | 0:34:43 | 0:34:51 | |
partner. It was his only previous Grand Slam final. He doesn't have | 0:34:51 | 0:35:01 | |
0:35:01 | 0:35:08 | ||
the experience of Nestor and between Soares and Raymond. They | 0:35:08 | 0:35:14 | |
have been busy learning how the other likes to dance on a tennis | 0:35:14 | 0:35:20 | |
court. But they are through to the final here in just the second Grand | 0:35:20 | 0:35:22 | |
Slam they have played together. They reached the last eight at Roland | 0:35:22 | 0:35:30 | |
Garros. It takes a while to build up the synchronicity you and Margaret | 0:35:30 | 0:35:35 | |
Court had on the tennis court. is no question that you have to find | 0:35:35 | 0:35:39 | |
the right partner. You have to have a game that complements the other | 0:35:40 | 0:35:44 | |
person 's game. We were watching a wonderful women's doubles last | 0:35:44 | 0:35:51 | |
night. It was the young Australian, Ashleigh Barty. Really riveting and | 0:35:51 | 0:35:59 | |
very impressive. She is one to watch. She's turned up! We knew the | 0:35:59 | 0:36:06 | |
champion wouldn't let us down! She's had a busy 24 hours, but she's out | 0:36:06 | 0:36:12 | |
here supporting her mate. We knew she would! She was jumping up and | 0:36:12 | 0:36:15 | |
down, rooting for Andy, saying that she wanted to be in the pictures | 0:36:15 | 0:36:25 | |
0:36:25 | 0:36:37 | ||
served a double fault. Marion said that she has to go to Paris and do a | 0:36:37 | 0:36:41 | |
huge amount of press tomorrow. Then she's got a few weeks off. She needs | 0:36:41 | 0:36:51 | |
0:36:51 | 0:37:03 | ||
UMPIRE: Nestor and Mladenovic are challenging the call. The umpire is | 0:37:03 | 0:37:13 | |
0:37:13 | 0:37:33 | ||
Great Britain's Kelly Thompson. It only registered 99 miles an hour, | 0:37:33 | 0:37:39 | |
bit because she is serving from so wide, it is not going to be as quick | 0:37:39 | 0:37:47 | |
as if she was serving in a singles position. I did wonder how the | 0:37:47 | 0:37:52 | |
nerves might affect, this being her first ever grand slam final. A | 0:37:52 | 0:37:57 | |
special moment. But we know what happened to poor old Sabine the | 0:37:57 | 0:38:03 | |
Bikey -- Sabine Lisicki yesterday. Having watched the whole of that | 0:38:03 | 0:38:08 | |
singles final from the players box, she got a feel of what the | 0:38:09 | 0:38:18 | |
0:38:19 | 0:38:27 | ||
point. She's so quick at the net. But I have to say that that was a | 0:38:27 | 0:38:32 | |
very quick hand from the other side of the net, on the left-handed | 0:38:32 | 0:38:42 | |
0:38:42 | 0:39:02 | ||
early, as it was the second serve. It was such a good serve, it caught | 0:39:02 | 0:39:12 | |
0:39:12 | 0:39:50 | ||
Mladenovic for the first time a few years ago, when she was here as a | 0:39:51 | 0:39:55 | |
16-year-old. She was the world 's top junior then. She was vying for | 0:39:55 | 0:40:05 | |
0:40:05 | 0:40:08 | ||
that honour with... Laura Robson. For so long. Laura is just a little | 0:40:08 | 0:40:13 | |
bit younger, and Laura is definitely the highest ranked of the teenagers. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:17 | |
But they are all going to be very much in evidence, I would think, by | 0:40:17 | 0:40:27 | |
0:40:27 | 0:40:34 | ||
this time next year, we are going to have a whole group of really | 0:40:34 | 0:40:37 | |
successful young players in the women's side, and I am talking about | 0:40:37 | 0:40:45 | |
people like Sloane Stephens. You get a sense that there is a changing of | 0:40:45 | 0:40:49 | |
the guard going on. There is a wonderful spread from all different | 0:40:49 | 0:40:58 | |
parts of the world, of very talented teenagers. There's no question that | 0:40:58 | 0:41:04 | |
Mladenovic is leading the way in France. There is another very | 0:41:04 | 0:41:11 | |
talented French June. I think she is still a junior. -- very talented | 0:41:11 | 0:41:21 | |
0:41:21 | 0:41:28 | ||
French junior. She is just having a with the sun in the eye! The Sun | 0:41:28 | 0:41:34 | |
just tricky, always. You come on late in the evening to play doubles, | 0:41:34 | 0:41:39 | |
and the shadows are creeping on fast. Especially when it is a | 0:41:39 | 0:41:45 | |
bright, sunny day. And we always want more of those! A special year, | 0:41:45 | 0:41:52 | |
this year, for this event. Celebrating its centenary. 100 years | 0:41:52 | 0:41:56 | |
of Mixed Doubles here at Wimbledon. I wonder if you could name the | 0:41:56 | 0:42:02 | |
British pair who won it in 1913? I will buy you a very fine case of | 0:42:02 | 0:42:12 | |
0:42:12 | 0:42:14 | ||
wine! Lottie Dodd and...He won't remember! Hope crisp and Agnes | 0:42:15 | 0:42:23 | |
Tuckey. We offer our warmest congratulations to them. Some of | 0:42:23 | 0:42:33 | |
0:42:33 | 0:42:37 | ||
tennis' greatest names have won this title. Rod Laver Arena, in the 50s. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:42 | |
Jamie Murray and Jelena Jankovic more recently. How many times did | 0:42:42 | 0:42:52 | |
0:42:52 | 0:42:57 | ||
Billie Jean King win the mixed? is when Mladenovic has been | 0:42:58 | 0:43:02 | |
reluctant to take that volley in the middle of the court. After all, if | 0:43:02 | 0:43:07 | |
you are playing with a guy who has long arms and legs, it should help | 0:43:07 | 0:43:15 | |
you out. Mind you, she's 6-foot tall herself. She exposes her right flank | 0:43:15 | 0:43:25 | |
0:43:25 | 0:43:46 | ||
his third Wimbledon title. A couple in the Men's Doubles with Nenad | 0:43:46 | 0:43:56 | |
0:43:56 | 0:44:10 | ||
Zimonjic. 2008, 2009. Olympic gold From the Bahamas. He has been | 0:44:10 | 0:44:15 | |
playing tennis for the best part of 20 years now. Daniel Nestor has been | 0:44:15 | 0:44:25 | |
0:44:25 | 0:44:40 | ||
of the doubles player. He knows how to work a tennis court when it is | 0:44:40 | 0:44:48 | |
twice as populated! He knows how to use the gaps and find the angles. | 0:44:48 | 0:44:56 | |
have seen some wonderful doubles. I think so many people enjoyed | 0:44:56 | 0:44:58 | |
think so many people enjoyed watching doubles. It has become the | 0:44:58 | 0:44:58 | |
think so many people enjoyed watching doubles. It has become of | 0:44:58 | 0:45:04 | |
the game these days, which is a pity. Wimbledon is one of the few | 0:45:04 | 0:45:14 | |
0:45:14 | 0:45:14 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 125 seconds | 0:45:14 | 0:46:02 | |
places that really highlight Good pick up there. Good reach by | 0:46:02 | 0:46:07 | |
Soares, who really likes to close in. You have to know what you are | 0:46:07 | 0:46:17 | |
0:46:17 | 0:46:32 | ||
doing if you get that close to the than the nets that they play with in | 0:46:32 | 0:46:38 | |
general around the world. On hard courts, especially in the States, | 0:46:38 | 0:46:41 | |
the nets are very tight. So you wouldn't get the effect of the net | 0:46:41 | 0:46:51 | |
0:46:51 | 0:46:52 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 125 seconds | 0:46:52 | 0:47:39 | |
line so many times with great success. She has hit some very sweet | 0:47:39 | 0:47:49 | |
0:47:49 | 0:48:00 | ||
peaches on that wing in this final UMPIRE: Nestor and Miss Mladenovic | 0:48:00 | 0:48:04 | |
are challenging the call on the baseline. That was such a deceptive | 0:48:04 | 0:48:14 | |
0:48:14 | 0:48:23 | ||
shot. He thought it was going to little bit longer. So here's the | 0:48:23 | 0:48:31 | |
list of the prize money for the winners of this event. Winners per | 0:48:31 | 0:48:39 | |
pair get �300,000 between them. So �150,000 each. Runners-up will be | 0:48:39 | 0:48:43 | |
guaranteed �75,000 each. So there is a decent pot at the end of it. | 0:48:43 | 0:48:50 | |
really is. I was saying that Soares came through and won the US Open | 0:48:50 | 0:48:58 | |
last year. He hadn't had a fantastic year. He had a makeshift - if I can | 0:48:58 | 0:49:05 | |
call it that - partnership, because neither had a partner. They had to | 0:49:05 | 0:49:11 | |
get their name into the draw as fast as possible. They just put their | 0:49:11 | 0:49:15 | |
names together, won the tournament, and he virtually doubled his prize | 0:49:15 | 0:49:23 | |
money for the year. He's gone from strength. He had always done well | 0:49:23 | 0:49:27 | |
with Marcelo Melo, another Brazilian. But a little lean on the | 0:49:27 | 0:49:37 | |
0:49:37 | 0:50:05 | ||
prize-money? Just a little bit! I is that right? There is and is | 0:50:05 | 0:50:15 | |
0:50:15 | 0:50:19 | ||
line. She has a whole pile of them in her fruit bowl, and she just | 0:50:19 | 0:50:24 | |
picks them out now and again. If they were playing in the gentleman | 0:50:24 | 0:50:32 | |
's and Ladies' Doubles, they would be on 150 ground -- 150 ground. This | 0:50:32 | 0:50:42 | |
0:50:42 | 0:50:46 | ||
one, they are on 46. Each?Yes. The first prize is �92,000. It is worth | 0:50:46 | 0:50:51 | |
getting out of bed for! Worth staying around and enjoying the | 0:50:51 | 0:51:01 | |
0:51:01 | 0:51:23 | ||
Bartoli got yesterday. Or what Andy about the prize-money at Wimbledon. | 0:51:23 | 0:51:26 | |
Wimbledon once to be the best tournament in the world from every | 0:51:27 | 0:51:32 | |
point of view. They have worked very hard to raise the prize-money this | 0:51:32 | 0:51:42 | |
0:51:42 | 0:52:06 | ||
year. Particularly for the earlier Raymond right there. This becomes a | 0:52:06 | 0:52:16 | |
0:52:16 | 0:52:38 | ||
miscommunication between Nestor and Mladenovic. If she was serving out | 0:52:38 | 0:52:44 | |
wide there, resume and Clichy would have told him to watch his line. -- | 0:52:45 | 0:52:49 | |
presumably she would have told him. Now there is a chance for Soares and | 0:52:50 | 0:52:59 | |
0:53:00 | 0:53:11 | ||
UMPIRE: Game and first set to Soares and Miss Raymond. And the top seeds | 0:53:11 | 0:53:18 | |
are ahead. Justifying the faith put in them by the seedings committee at | 0:53:18 | 0:53:22 | |
the start of these championships. Yet to drop a set on the road to | 0:53:22 | 0:53:27 | |
this final. That remains the case here against Daniel Nestor and | 0:53:27 | 0:53:32 | |
Kristina Mladenovic. That was a very good reaction volley from Bruno | 0:53:32 | 0:53:40 | |
Soares. Looks like it is the hardest volley to make, that oft volley, but | 0:53:40 | 0:53:45 | |
what a great shot. We were talking about Billie Jean King's record in | 0:53:45 | 0:53:52 | |
the Mixed Doubles, Virginia, and you mentioned the partnership she had | 0:53:52 | 0:54:01 | |
with the Australian, Owen Davidson. She won the mixed four times. | 0:54:01 | 0:54:11 | |
0:54:11 | 0:54:13 | ||
Owen every time? Yes. What was your record in the mixed? Don't ask me! I | 0:54:13 | 0:54:21 | |
played with John fees that and a couple of others. You liked playing | 0:54:22 | 0:54:26 | |
with Margaret Court in the doubles, didn't you? Yes. I just had to keep | 0:54:26 | 0:54:31 | |
the ball in, and she did a rest. I had to serve well and chip my | 0:54:31 | 0:54:41 | |
0:54:41 | 0:54:47 | ||
return. She was such a good player, yourself. You one grand slam titles | 0:54:47 | 0:54:57 | |
0:54:57 | 0:55:11 | ||
with the great Margaret Court. shot! We've been saying how well | 0:55:11 | 0:55:17 | |
she's been hitting the ball down the line. It is a sort of a hook shot | 0:55:17 | 0:55:27 | |
0:55:27 | 0:55:50 | ||
title she won 12 months ago in the company of Mike Bryan. He put all of | 0:55:50 | 0:55:54 | |
his effort into winning the men's title this year, with his brother. | 0:55:54 | 0:56:04 | |
0:56:04 | 0:56:29 | ||
Raymond there, because she knew that was hers straight down the middle. | 0:56:29 | 0:56:32 | |
The reverse happens when the ball comes straight out of that little | 0:56:32 | 0:56:38 | |
patch of son into the dark. You just lose sight of it. So fortunately, | 0:56:39 | 0:56:48 | |
0:56:49 | 0:56:57 | ||
her partner helped her out, and she Raymond has been coming here for | 0:56:57 | 0:57:00 | |
over 20 years now. An incredible durability and desire to keep | 0:57:00 | 0:57:05 | |
competing here at the highest level. She initially made her name | 0:57:05 | 0:57:09 | |
as a singles player, you might remember. All the weight to the | 0:57:09 | 0:57:16 | |
fourth round in her debut in 93. The year that Pete Sampras beat Jim | 0:57:16 | 0:57:20 | |
Courier to the Wimbledon title. They year that every few of us in this | 0:57:20 | 0:57:27 | |
country thought that a Briton would ever win the Wimbledon 's -- | 0:57:27 | 0:57:37 | |
Wimbledon singles title. Lisa Raymond was such a talented player, | 0:57:37 | 0:57:41 | |
and her singles game had some good points, but she could never become | 0:57:41 | 0:57:47 | |
as good a singles player as she is a doubles player. She is a superb | 0:57:47 | 0:57:57 | |
0:57:57 | 0:58:13 | ||
doubles player. Another ball of a very good young player here | 0:58:13 | 0:58:23 | |
0:58:23 | 0:58:45 | ||
this evening, and Kristina position to hit that shot. Nestor | 0:58:45 | 0:58:51 | |
has missed a couple of shots, surprisingly. This is a very nice | 0:58:51 | 0:58:56 | |
return. He was jammed by it. I was surprised that Nestor didn't at | 0:58:56 | 0:59:06 | |
0:59:06 | 0:59:07 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 125 seconds | 0:59:07 | 0:59:56 | |
UMPIRE: Game, Nestor and Miss the serve looks like it might have | 0:59:56 | 1:00:00 | |
the serve looks like it might have missed. He's looking to see if there | 1:00:00 | 1:00:06 | |
is white on the ball, where it hit the line. But he made a slight | 1:00:06 | 1:00:16 | |
1:00:16 | 1:00:23 | ||
misjudgement, he should have been Lisa Raymond, but then she came back | 1:00:23 | 1:00:33 | |
1:00:33 | 1:00:53 | ||
and served well. 0-30 is a bit of with going down the line as often as | 1:00:53 | 1:00:59 | |
she is. It is usually such a good tactic to hit them a line to keep | 1:00:59 | 1:01:03 | |
the person at the net honest and stop them from fading towards the | 1:01:03 | 1:01:13 | |
1:01:13 | 1:01:52 | ||
points. And they are a couple who eighth seeds, who looked to be a | 1:01:52 | 1:01:57 | |
pretty potent combination since they came together. They have seen off | 1:01:57 | 1:02:00 | |
some fancy partnerships. They did for the second seeds in the | 1:02:00 | 1:02:10 | |
the semifinals, we thought that might be it but they won that one | 1:02:10 | 1:02:18 | |
and they are tweaking the tale of the top seeds. I am assuming that | 1:02:18 | 1:02:28 | |
1:02:28 | 1:02:31 | ||
they -- Kristina Mladenovic, both of her parents being athletes, she | 1:02:31 | 1:02:38 | |
speaks not only French, but Serbian Italian and Spanish. Daniel Nestor | 1:02:38 | 1:02:45 | |
speaks English, coming from Canada, maybe Canadian, and as he was born | 1:02:45 | 1:02:49 | |
in Belgrade, maybe Serbian. So what do you think? We will have to | 1:02:49 | 1:02:59 | |
1:02:59 | 1:03:28 | ||
operating on her own. She has had so promising to me in the last few | 1:03:28 | 1:03:34 | |
years. I'm surprised her singles has not gone soaring up. But there is | 1:03:34 | 1:03:38 | |
still time. I mean, a lot of the players these days are developing | 1:03:38 | 1:03:48 | |
1:03:48 | 1:03:54 | ||
more at 20 and they are at 17. -- their late 20s rather than their | 1:03:54 | 1:04:00 | |
early 20s. Although she did get the of Wimbledon... In 2007.Yes, six | 1:04:00 | 1:04:10 | |
1:04:10 | 1:04:43 | ||
the line, hoping against hope that She has served well but I think that | 1:04:43 | 1:04:53 | |
1:04:53 | 1:04:53 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 125 seconds | 1:04:53 | 1:05:44 | |
If you are interested in following her, I'm sure she will be glad to | 1:05:44 | 1:05:54 | |
1:05:54 | 1:06:12 | ||
have you. She is a great girl, Raymond and then from her Brazilian | 1:06:12 | 1:06:22 | |
1:06:22 | 1:06:22 | ||
partner. How long was it... It might take some time for him to get over | 1:06:22 | 1:06:32 | |
1:06:32 | 1:06:33 | ||
the impact of it all is well, he has Daniel Nestor. They have begun to | 1:06:33 | 1:06:42 | |
really turn it on this set. It all happened when they come at this team | 1:06:42 | 1:06:52 | |
1:06:52 | 1:07:25 | ||
of Raymond and Soares, lost Lisa poorly but once again, the down the | 1:07:25 | 1:07:35 | |
1:07:35 | 1:07:50 | ||
line returned from Mladenovic, a the follow-up... Yes. Nestor | 1:07:50 | 1:07:53 | |
definitely finding his range now and that was by far the best return he | 1:07:53 | 1:08:03 | |
1:08:03 | 1:08:03 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 125 seconds | 1:08:03 | 1:08:46 | |
get the double break and that might be enough to win them this set. You | 1:08:47 | 1:08:51 | |
were talking about the moment when it hit you, the fact that it might | 1:08:51 | 1:08:54 | |
not yet have hit Marion Bartoli that she's Wimbledon champion. When did | 1:08:54 | 1:09:00 | |
it happen to you in 1977? Were you getting out of bed and having a cup | 1:09:00 | 1:09:05 | |
of tea? When did you wallow in the glory of it all, just you? All I | 1:09:05 | 1:09:11 | |
know is that, people asked me if I have come down from Cloud nine and | 1:09:11 | 1:09:16 | |
you never do. It does make a dramatic difference to your life if | 1:09:16 | 1:09:21 | |
you are a tennis player, because, you know, Wimbledon is just such a | 1:09:21 | 1:09:28 | |
goal to aim for. It just means everything to a tennis player. I | 1:09:28 | 1:09:32 | |
mean, obviously, the other Grand Slams are fantastic and for somebody | 1:09:32 | 1:09:36 | |
coming from the States, possibly the US Open is their greatest ambition | 1:09:36 | 1:09:43 | |
and if you are French, maybe the French is, but Wimbledon still is | 1:09:43 | 1:09:49 | |
such a classic event and it means everything in tennis. The sun is | 1:09:49 | 1:09:59 | |
1:09:59 | 1:10:16 | ||
starting to set on what has perhaps a long time for the people who have | 1:10:16 | 1:10:22 | |
enjoyed it this year to enjoy anything quite like it again. | 1:10:22 | 1:10:32 | |
1:10:32 | 1:11:10 | ||
Nestor and Mladenovic taking control He has been throwing in a good | 1:11:10 | 1:11:16 | |
variety of first-serveds. Some slower kickers and then this one has | 1:11:16 | 1:11:26 | |
1:11:26 | 1:11:54 | ||
a bit of kick on it but it was quick for Lisa Raymond to win a point. | 1:11:54 | 1:12:04 | |
1:12:04 | 1:12:31 | ||
They need to get back in this set her bike and win this service game, | 1:12:31 | 1:12:35 | |
because they don't want to be starting the third set with the | 1:12:35 | 1:12:43 | |
others serving first and... And all of the momentum going their way. | 1:12:44 | 1:12:51 | |
That is a good start. They have been on court for one hour and one minute | 1:12:51 | 1:13:01 | |
1:13:01 | 1:13:01 | ||

SUE BARKER: We are staying with this match at Centre Court for the moment | 1:13:53 | 1:13:56 | |
but the news is, Andy Murray, the new Wimbledon champion, will be | 1:13:56 | 1:13:59 | |
joining me in the studio very soon. Just finishing some media | 1:14:00 | 1:14:04 | |
commitments downstairs and we will be joining Andy live in the studio | 1:14:04 | 1:14:07 | |
and hopefully that will be in the next 15 minutes or so. Stay tuned | 1:14:07 | 1:14:17 | |
1:14:17 | 1:14:26 | ||
for that, but enjoy the match in the be a busy boy for the next 24 | 1:14:26 | 1:14:29 | |
hours, the next 24 years! It is so exhausting out there and then having | 1:14:29 | 1:14:33 | |
to talk to the entire world. Everybody wants a piece of you. Sue | 1:14:33 | 1:14:39 | |
Barker deserves the biggest piece of him, for our coverage. A little | 1:14:39 | 1:14:42 | |
sliver of sunshine left on Centre Court and this is Mladenovic serving | 1:14:42 | 1:14:52 | |
1:14:52 | 1:15:30 | ||
net that he sometimes comes in and has devised a very difficult low | 1:15:30 | 1:15:40 | |
1:15:40 | 1:16:18 | ||
volley -- has to face. And that has a fitting conclusion and we are | 1:16:18 | 1:16:22 | |
going to get one, we are going to get a third set in this Mixed | 1:16:22 | 1:16:25 | |
Doubles final. Nestor and Mladenovic working their way back beautifully | 1:16:25 | 1:16:33 | |
into it. I was just thinking the same, it does deserve a third set. A | 1:16:33 | 1:16:39 | |
magnificent summer evening. Centre Court at Wimbledon. I think people | 1:16:39 | 1:16:44 | |
are really reluctant to have the tournament end, and it has... What | 1:16:44 | 1:16:50 | |
an end it has been, what a climax, what a euphoric climax it has been | 1:16:50 | 1:16:56 | |
already today. And yet you don't want to go. I think we all wondered | 1:16:56 | 1:16:59 | |
whether, after the Olympics and Paralympics last year, with this | 1:16:59 | 1:17:05 | |
country could quite recreate that. And Wimbledon, to a large extent | 1:17:05 | 1:17:09 | |
this year, has done its absolute best. And it does feel just like the | 1:17:09 | 1:17:12 | |
Olympics, the last day of the Olympics, when nobody wanted to come | 1:17:12 | 1:17:18 | |
to an end. We have all got to go to work tomorrow. But there is still a | 1:17:18 | 1:17:23 | |
little bit sweetness -- of sweetness left, a little bit of light for one | 1:17:23 | 1:17:28 | |
last set. And it will be the Brazilian Bruno Soares who has the | 1:17:28 | 1:17:38 | |
1:17:38 | 1:17:56 | ||
Soares, because Lisa Raymond and he just need to get going a bit again. | 1:17:56 | 1:18:02 | |
And that is Dr Walter Bartoli, who came in, Marion's father, came in to | 1:18:02 | 1:18:10 | |
watch her in the final... Everybody was a little worried that his | 1:18:10 | 1:18:20 | |
1:18:20 | 1:18:25 | ||
appearance might make it tends. -- the tournament getting better and | 1:18:25 | 1:18:33 | |
better and was even better in the final. That just might be the best | 1:18:33 | 1:18:39 | |
of a very high quality selection from Mladenovic. So many she has | 1:18:39 | 1:18:44 | |
gone down the line it is quite a surprise when she goes crosscourt. | 1:18:44 | 1:18:49 | |
She is a good striker of the ball. Maybe she is a little bit flat and | 1:18:49 | 1:18:52 | |
as she develops as a singles player, she will learn to put a little more | 1:18:52 | 1:19:02 | |
1:19:02 | 1:19:25 | ||
power, but you just need some margin delight in the contrast between her | 1:19:25 | 1:19:32 | |
last two shots. That enormous how wet star the forehand and then this. | 1:19:32 | 1:19:42 | |
1:19:42 | 1:19:42 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 125 seconds | 1:19:42 | 1:20:27 | |
Soares living a bit dangerously. -- it easy on the men are Rover. I | 1:20:27 | 1:20:37 | |
1:20:37 | 1:20:41 | ||
supposed to supposed to respond to court at the moment, make no | 1:20:41 | 1:20:48 | |
mistake. Once again, Bruno Soares has had to scoop the ball back from | 1:20:48 | 1:20:58 | |
1:20:58 | 1:20:58 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 125 seconds | 1:20:58 | 1:22:32 | |
crack that return well of his has been incredible but that was not | 1:22:33 | 1:22:42 | |
1:22:43 | 1:23:04 | ||
speak about as a singles player, I think it is fair to say. A career | 1:23:04 | 1:23:09 | |
high of 221 in the rankings, which tells you a fair amount. I think he | 1:23:09 | 1:23:12 | |
knew from a fairly early stage that if he was to enjoy big days like | 1:23:12 | 1:23:17 | |
this, then doubles was where he was going to be. And he has enjoyed a | 1:23:17 | 1:23:22 | |
fabulous couple of years. He has 14 tournaments this year. And here he | 1:23:22 | 1:23:32 | |
1:23:32 | 1:23:46 | ||
what to do with doubles. We really appreciated here at Wimbledon, and | 1:23:46 | 1:23:51 | |
there are five sets in the men's. Whereas other tournaments have | 1:23:51 | 1:23:57 | |
registered to three, hoping to get more of the top names playing. But | 1:23:57 | 1:24:05 | |
the doubles specialists are so good at doubles that if you put in one of | 1:24:05 | 1:24:08 | |
the top singles players, they would probably have their work cut out to | 1:24:08 | 1:24:18 | |
1:24:18 | 1:24:43 | ||
fortysomething at the moment. The problem with trying to persuade the | 1:24:44 | 1:24:50 | |
best players to take part is, if, for example, Andy Murray fancies | 1:24:51 | 1:24:55 | |
having a go at doubles and makes it to the final here, 24 hours before | 1:24:55 | 1:25:00 | |
playing the singles final, he would have been on a doubles court, which | 1:25:00 | 1:25:03 | |
would not be ideal. It is a big quandary and nothing is going to | 1:25:03 | 1:25:13 | |
1:25:13 | 1:25:22 | ||
Raymond's second serve not quite powerful enough against the | 1:25:22 | 1:25:30 | |
considerable power of Mladenovic. That ball was just coming at Bruno | 1:25:30 | 1:25:40 | |
1:25:40 | 1:25:57 | ||
first week of Wimbledon, but it is not any good for the second week. | 1:25:57 | 1:26:01 | |
SUE BARKER: We are going to leave Centre Court, if you want to | 1:26:01 | 1:26:04 | |
continue watching this final, it continues on the red button. But | 1:26:04 | 1:26:07 | |
everyone was arriving here at Wimbledon on men's final day hoping | 1:26:07 | 1:26:17 | |
1:26:17 | 1:26:29 | ||
his three Wimbledon crowns. -- won. Since then, 70 Wimbledon Men's | 1:26:29 | 1:26:35 | |
Singles titles have been contested. The United States lead the way with | 1:26:35 | 1:26:41 | |
27 wins. Australia are next with 16 victories. Then comes Sweden with | 1:26:41 | 1:26:51 | |
1:26:51 | 1:26:52 | ||
seven. And Switzerland with seven. Germany have four, and Spain three. | 1:26:52 | 1:26:56 | |
The remaining six titles are shared amongst six countries, including | 1:26:56 | 1:27:02 | |
Croatia and Serbia. From Perry to the present, the home fans have | 1:27:03 | 1:27:07 | |
experienced... 77 years of expectation. 77 years of close | 1:27:07 | 1:27:17 | |
1:27:17 | 1:27:20 | ||
calls. 77 years of pain. To you, we salute your patience. For at the | 1:27:20 | 1:27:25 | |
71st attempt, congratulations, Britain. The wait is finally over. | 1:27:25 | 1:27:32 | |
He is a third of the way there. Emphatic or what? The waiting is | 1:27:32 | 1:27:40 | |
over! Andy Murray is the Wimbledon SUE BARKER: Will you ever get tired | 1:27:40 | 1:27:48 | |
of looking at that? I hope not. I'm pretty tired right now, but not of | 1:27:49 | 1:27:52 | |
seeing that. You were just saying you went down to do your press and | 1:27:52 | 1:27:58 | |
bent down to doping and it sort of hit you. Yes, I did the press and | 1:27:58 | 1:28:02 | |
then I went to do the drug test being and, yes, it literally just | 1:28:03 | 1:28:08 | |
hit me. I got so, so tired very quickly. I have got a long night | 1:28:08 | 1:28:14 | |
ahead of me and unfortunately, I could do with a little sleep. | 1:28:14 | 1:28:18 | |
won't let you do that just yet, because we want to hear what it was. | 1:28:18 | 1:28:23 | |
I can understand why you feel so tired, I don't think anyone can | 1:28:23 | 1:28:25 | |
really understand the pressure and emotions you go through that is so | 1:28:25 | 1:28:32 | |
draining, on top of a match of such high quality. Yes, I think I was | 1:28:32 | 1:28:36 | |
feeling OK until towards the end of the third set. Some of the rallies | 1:28:36 | 1:28:44 | |
in the games were getting just ridiculous. That last game, I think | 1:28:44 | 1:28:48 | |
that pretty much took everything out of me, because I was saying, at the | 1:28:48 | 1:28:52 | |
time, it will probably be the toughest game I will ever play | 1:28:52 | 1:28:57 | |
mentally in my career, having missed three match points and not finishing | 1:28:57 | 1:29:01 | |
it there and saving a couple of break points and he came out with a | 1:29:01 | 1:29:08 | |
couple of great pick-ups, and one shot of the neck, -- off the net | 1:29:08 | 1:29:12 | |
cord, I didn't know what was going to happen. But I managed to finish | 1:29:12 | 1:29:16 | |
it. You didn't remember it on court, but let's show you that match | 1:29:16 | 1:29:20 | |
point and how you finished it off. As you said, he even got back that | 1:29:20 | 1:29:30 | |
serve. Yes, it was a great serve I hit there as well. I thought it was | 1:29:30 | 1:29:37 | |
going to go along, it dropped in. I did an interview just after the | 1:29:37 | 1:29:43 | |
match and I saw the point back and I had no idea what had happened. | 1:29:43 | 1:29:49 | |
what a great match, what a finish and what an emotional finish, for | 1:29:49 | 1:29:54 | |
you, for your family, for everyone that is involved with you. It is | 1:29:54 | 1:29:57 | |
everything you have worked for, and I think the crowd said it all, what | 1:29:57 | 1:30:06 | |
it means to all of us as well. tough to get the words out when you | 1:30:06 | 1:30:10 | |
are speaking after the match. A lot of people have worked very hard with | 1:30:10 | 1:30:18 | |
me, for me, for the last 15 years in my life. Obviously, firstly my | 1:30:18 | 1:30:26 | |
family, and then coaches and staff. It was great to be able to do it for | 1:30:26 | 1:30:30 | |
them. They have obviously been through a lot with me and seen a lot | 1:30:30 | 1:30:37 | |
of tough losses and tough moments. To finally do that in front of them, | 1:30:37 | 1:30:43 | |
with all of them watching, was great. I have never felt such energy | 1:30:43 | 1:30:47 | |
and passion out there on Centre Court. This was after the match. Did | 1:30:47 | 1:30:54 | |
you not feel what the crowd... didn't know what to do with myself! | 1:30:54 | 1:31:01 | |
It was so loud. It has been such a long road. For a British player to | 1:31:01 | 1:31:06 | |
do that, it was a long wait. The noise levels during the match was | 1:31:06 | 1:31:13 | |
unbelievable. It was similar to the Olympics. The best atmosphere I have | 1:31:13 | 1:31:19 | |
ever played in at Wimbledon. It was so loud. Then the referee comes up | 1:31:19 | 1:31:25 | |
and says, do you want to go up? I asked if I could. I knew I had | 1:31:25 | 1:31:30 | |
taken quite a long time after the match point, and I asked if I was | 1:31:30 | 1:31:37 | |
allowed to go up really quick. can take your time! Boy, we have | 1:31:37 | 1:31:44 | |
waited long enough for this! It is so important, I know, for you to get | 1:31:44 | 1:31:48 | |
up there, and also for Kim, who has been such a great supporter and such | 1:31:48 | 1:31:53 | |
a stable implements for you for so many years. For all of the guys and | 1:31:53 | 1:31:59 | |
my family that were there, they have seen me, what I was like after last | 1:31:59 | 1:32:04 | |
years final. It is the same team I've got with me. They saw how I was | 1:32:04 | 1:32:09 | |
after that, and they deserve all the credit for actually picking me up | 1:32:09 | 1:32:16 | |
for that -- from that defeat, because it was really tough one. | 1:32:16 | 1:32:20 | |
Getting to do that with the guys I work hard with day in, day out was | 1:32:21 | 1:32:27 | |
really special. Ivan, as you said on court, for everything he has gone | 1:32:27 | 1:32:33 | |
through, it was so special for him that you won the trophy. As a | 1:32:33 | 1:32:37 | |
player, it was something he really wanted to achieve. I don't think it | 1:32:37 | 1:32:41 | |
is something that annoys him now, because he did everything he could | 1:32:41 | 1:32:45 | |
to try and win it. He missed the French Open for a couple of years to | 1:32:45 | 1:32:49 | |
try and win it. For him, this is the next best thing. He stayed away from | 1:32:49 | 1:32:55 | |
the game for a long time, and he believed in me when a lot of people | 1:32:55 | 1:33:00 | |
didn't. You would have been in trouble if you didn't see mum! | 1:33:00 | 1:33:04 | |
forget her and she was squealing for me to come over! She has been with | 1:33:04 | 1:33:09 | |
you right from the word go, and she talked about the sacrifice of | 1:33:09 | 1:33:14 | |
letting you go as such a youngster to Spain. As a mum, it was | 1:33:15 | 1:33:19 | |
difficult. For my parents, that was tough, but it was something I felt I | 1:33:19 | 1:33:25 | |
needed to do if I wanted to become a top tennis player. I wasn't getting | 1:33:25 | 1:33:31 | |
what I needed training in Scotland. I needed to go elsewhere to try and | 1:33:31 | 1:33:36 | |
pursue that career. As parents, letting your son go abroad at 15 | 1:33:36 | 1:33:42 | |
years old is not easy. And getting your hands on the trophy. You talked | 1:33:42 | 1:33:46 | |
about it. You dreamt that you had won it last year and you lost. Did | 1:33:46 | 1:33:51 | |
you have a dream about it this time? Yes, it was a weird dream. I | 1:33:51 | 1:33:57 | |
woke up this morning and I thought I was playing against Radek Stepanek | 1:33:57 | 1:34:01 | |
in the final, and obviously, it dawned on me that I was playing | 1:34:01 | 1:34:06 | |
against Novak. That was the dream I had last night. I hadn't dreamt | 1:34:07 | 1:34:11 | |
whether I had won or lost the match or anything. A lot of different | 1:34:11 | 1:34:19 | |
thoughts going through my head the last 24 hours. Boy, to see you | 1:34:19 | 1:34:23 | |
holding that trophy, it was a special moment. Yes. It is something | 1:34:23 | 1:34:27 | |
that I have worked... You have probably walked past the trophy so | 1:34:27 | 1:34:32 | |
often when you have been training here. Yes. Just before Queen's | 1:34:32 | 1:34:37 | |
started and during the French Open, I spent a bit of time looking at the | 1:34:37 | 1:34:41 | |
trophies. I had walked out onto Centre Court a few times when there | 1:34:42 | 1:34:49 | |
had been no crowds there. It was so great to finally get my hands on it. | 1:34:49 | 1:34:57 | |
You dropped the lid once! And seeing so many famous faces there in the | 1:34:57 | 1:35:03 | |
Royal Box and in your box. Sir Chris Hoy, Justin Rose... There were also | 1:35:03 | 1:35:08 | |
some very passionate fans out on the Hill who had been camping out for | 1:35:08 | 1:35:12 | |
two days just to get here. They wouldn't get into Centre Court, they | 1:35:12 | 1:35:17 | |
had to sit here. And this was their reaction outside. Could you hear | 1:35:17 | 1:35:21 | |
them in Centre Court? You can hear them during the match, because | 1:35:21 | 1:35:25 | |
sometimes when it goes quiet on Centre Court, I guess they cut to | 1:35:25 | 1:35:29 | |
the hilt. And they scream. You can definitely hear them. From what I | 1:35:30 | 1:35:36 | |
was told, the atmosphere on the Hill had been incredible on the last few | 1:35:36 | 1:35:42 | |
days. It's a shame it is not a 50,000 seat stadium and everyone | 1:35:42 | 1:35:46 | |
could come in. It is just amazing that so many people stayed just to | 1:35:46 | 1:35:51 | |
come and watch it on the hill. were quite a few watching in | 1:35:51 | 1:35:56 | |
Dunblane as well. This is the reaction in the centre up there. | 1:35:57 | 1:36:01 | |
Wonderful things up there. They have signs up all over the town saying | 1:36:01 | 1:36:06 | |
come on, Andy. I think you will have to do another open top bus ride | 1:36:06 | 1:36:12 | |
through there. And so many kids enjoying it as well. I spoke to my | 1:36:12 | 1:36:15 | |
grandparents briefly after the match, and they went to watch it at | 1:36:15 | 1:36:19 | |
the local sports club, which is a two-minute walk from their house. It | 1:36:19 | 1:36:25 | |
is where we grew up playing. It was packed in there with loads of people | 1:36:25 | 1:36:31 | |
watching it's nice to see. You have walked past the trophy a few times. | 1:36:31 | 1:36:36 | |
I bet you walked past the Honours board as well. They have got it | 1:36:36 | 1:36:40 | |
already now - your name on the board. When you walk past it, it | 1:36:40 | 1:36:44 | |
will probably hit you that you have done it. On the walk to the court, | 1:36:44 | 1:36:47 | |
when you walk to Centre Court, they have all the pictures up of the | 1:36:48 | 1:36:53 | |
previous champions. You kind of replay match is over in your head | 1:36:53 | 1:36:59 | |
when you see those names up there, and what maybe you could have done. | 1:36:59 | 1:37:05 | |
Just to see your name up there is great. And you had to do it the hard | 1:37:05 | 1:37:09 | |
way, beating the world number one, a guy who has had a sensational | 1:37:09 | 1:37:15 | |
tournament. You beat the best to win it. Yes, I think that is the one | 1:37:15 | 1:37:20 | |
thing that has been challenging for me. I have played in quite a lot of | 1:37:20 | 1:37:27 | |
grand slam finals, and every time I have come up against Roger or Novak, | 1:37:27 | 1:37:31 | |
in seven finals I have played, I have always come up against them. | 1:37:31 | 1:37:35 | |
Roger is probably the greatest player who has ever played, and | 1:37:35 | 1:37:40 | |
Novak is probably one of the strongest players mentally. It was | 1:37:40 | 1:37:45 | |
very difficult for me mentally. I have never come up against someone I | 1:37:45 | 1:37:50 | |
was expected to beat in the final. I have never had experience on my | 1:37:50 | 1:37:55 | |
side. It was such a tough match today. This was a whole new | 1:37:55 | 1:37:59 | |
experience, this walk of the champion you do. It is for these | 1:37:59 | 1:38:04 | |
fans as well. This must have been quite a special moment. It is nice, | 1:38:04 | 1:38:12 | |
because I have seen this on the TV a few times. I have never seen them | 1:38:12 | 1:38:15 | |
standing all down the alleyway is there. Where they showing the match | 1:38:15 | 1:38:20 | |
on Court three? It sounded like it was really busy over there. There | 1:38:20 | 1:38:26 | |
were so many people in the grounds today. I am glad I did it for them. | 1:38:26 | 1:38:31 | |
Have you been able to see the family and everyone, and have a chat? You | 1:38:31 | 1:38:37 | |
look like you are having trouble with a phone call. That was my | 1:38:37 | 1:38:41 | |
grandparents. They are not good with mobile phones! I have seen most of | 1:38:41 | 1:38:47 | |
the family so far, and I will see them again this evening. So, I den | 1:38:47 | 1:38:51 | |
think you have a clear exactly how this will change your life, because | 1:38:51 | 1:38:57 | |
it is going to change life. Yes, I got asked that before the final last | 1:38:57 | 1:39:01 | |
year a few times, and in the last couple of days as well. I have no | 1:39:01 | 1:39:07 | |
idea what to expect now, but the most important thing is I keep the | 1:39:07 | 1:39:10 | |
same people around me and don't get carried away with any of the extra | 1:39:10 | 1:39:16 | |
stuff that comes with winning a tournament like that. Hopefully, | 1:39:16 | 1:39:22 | |
I've still got a few more years left of my career. I don't want to get | 1:39:22 | 1:39:25 | |
sidetracked. I know how hard I have to work to compete for these | 1:39:25 | 1:39:29 | |
tournaments, and I want to keep doing it for the next few years if I | 1:39:29 | 1:39:36 | |
can. You have two titles now. Novak Djokovic, let's play tribute to | 1:39:36 | 1:39:41 | |
him. He was a very gracious runner up. He gave his all in that match | 1:39:41 | 1:39:48 | |
today. We had known each other since we were 12 years old. We get on | 1:39:48 | 1:39:57 | |
pretty well. He fought right until the end of the match. He was down. I | 1:39:57 | 1:40:01 | |
thought I may be had him at the beginning of the third set. Then he | 1:40:01 | 1:40:05 | |
came up with some great tennis at that point, and then again at the | 1:40:05 | 1:40:11 | |
end, when I was serving for it. He is a great player, and mentally, one | 1:40:11 | 1:40:20 | |
of the strongest players who has ever played again. He has come back | 1:40:20 | 1:40:22 | |
from so many losing situations in the past to turn the match around. | 1:40:22 | 1:40:25 | |
He nearly did it again today. your team have been having some | 1:40:25 | 1:40:30 | |
champagne. I know you probably are not allowed any at the moment. This | 1:40:30 | 1:40:35 | |
was a great scene in the locker room! I was just trying to stop it | 1:40:35 | 1:40:40 | |
getting in my eyes! It is a strange atmosphere in the locker room | 1:40:40 | 1:40:45 | |
afterwards, because it is not that big, and the other team is in their | 1:40:45 | 1:40:53 | |
at the start too. So you want to try and respect that as well. But | 1:40:53 | 1:40:56 | |
there's so many people in their afterwards that I've worked with, | 1:40:56 | 1:41:02 | |
and Tim was in there as well. didn't look like you enjoyed it that | 1:41:02 | 1:41:11 | |
much. I hate champagne! It burns my throat. You told me that you brush | 1:41:11 | 1:41:15 | |
your teeth with face cream afterwards! Are you going to have a | 1:41:15 | 1:41:22 | |
celebration, or are you too weary? We'll see. I will go to the ball. It | 1:41:22 | 1:41:30 | |
starts at about 9pm. I will do that, and then see how I am feeling. This | 1:41:30 | 1:41:37 | |
last 30 minutes I have been really, really tired, so maybe tomorrow. | 1:41:37 | 1:41:42 | |
know you have a lot of interviews to do, and the champions' dinner. Thank | 1:41:42 | 1:41:47 | |
you for coming in. It was a wonderful, wonderful moment for us | 1:41:47 | 1:41:53 | |
and for everyone in British sport. Andy is going to leave, and we are | 1:41:53 | 1:41:56 | |
going to hear from the woman who has been there right from the start. His | 1:41:56 | 1:42:04 | |
mother, Judy. The party atmosphere is continuing. | 1:42:04 | 1:42:09 | |
How good does that champagne taste? It is pretty good. I would like to | 1:42:09 | 1:42:15 | |
have a little bit more of it. But it is pretty good. I am thrilled for | 1:42:15 | 1:42:21 | |
Andy. And our own, can you believe he has done it? When I saw him get | 1:42:21 | 1:42:27 | |
the trophy, when I saw him hold it up, I thought, he's done it. | 1:42:27 | 1:42:32 | |
Obviously, he came close last year. I knew he could do it, but Novak is | 1:42:32 | 1:42:38 | |
such a great competitor, such a great champion, that I knew it would | 1:42:38 | 1:42:44 | |
be hard. But he got there in the end. How did you feel when he | 1:42:44 | 1:42:52 | |
started coming back? Did you think, oh, no? Yes, because he is such a | 1:42:52 | 1:42:56 | |
great champion. You have to put him away in points, never mind in | 1:42:56 | 1:43:01 | |
mansions. When Andy was up in the third, I could sense that people | 1:43:01 | 1:43:06 | |
thought he had it. But I have been in tennis long enough to know that | 1:43:06 | 1:43:12 | |
it is never over until it is over. Then he lost a few games on the | 1:43:12 | 1:43:15 | |
trot. Djokovic started playing really well, which you often do when | 1:43:15 | 1:43:21 | |
your back is against the wall. I am delighted he finished it when he | 1:43:21 | 1:43:26 | |
did, because I'm not sure my nerves would have stood too much more. | 1:43:26 | 1:43:30 | |
will have the Wimbledon ball this evening, at which they are going to | 1:43:30 | 1:43:34 | |
announce that Andy Murray is the Wimbledon champion. That is going to | 1:43:34 | 1:43:42 | |
sound good, isn't it? It is. I don't usually wear dresses, but I have got | 1:43:42 | 1:43:49 | |
a dress to wear tonight. It is a Jenny Packham dress. I think I can | 1:43:49 | 1:43:53 | |
wear the dress tonight, because Andy has won Wimbledon! What a proud | 1:43:53 | 1:43:59 | |
moment for her. We saw some famous faces in the crowd, including Sir | 1:43:59 | 1:44:05 | |
Chris Hoy. He knows what it is like to win on the big occasion. Let's | 1:44:05 | 1:44:10 | |
hear from him. Sir Chris Hoy, what did you make of that? | 1:44:10 | 1:44:15 | |
A privilege to witness it. 3-0 doesn't do the match justice. It was | 1:44:15 | 1:44:19 | |
a knife edge on a number of occasions, particularly the last few | 1:44:19 | 1:44:25 | |
match points. To be there to witness it with his family and his crew, it | 1:44:25 | 1:44:29 | |
was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I am so pleased for him | 1:44:29 | 1:44:33 | |
and his family, and everyone who was there to support him. You know what | 1:44:33 | 1:44:37 | |
it is like at the sharp end, when you know you are going to win or | 1:44:37 | 1:44:43 | |
not. You must have really felt for him today. I did. I have no idea | 1:44:43 | 1:44:48 | |
what it is like for him, because I was a member of a team. It wasn't | 1:44:48 | 1:44:53 | |
just down to me. He had the whole nation expecting him to win. He is | 1:44:53 | 1:44:59 | |
tennis in the UK. It is him. It is Andy Murray. For him to step up with | 1:44:59 | 1:45:04 | |
all that pressure and all that expectation... It was one of the | 1:45:04 | 1:45:08 | |
great British sporting moments of all time. What do you think it will | 1:45:08 | 1:45:14 | |
do for British tennis? You know how popular cycling has become. It will | 1:45:14 | 1:45:20 | |
boost sport. It will boost entry to sport at all levels. It is not just | 1:45:20 | 1:45:25 | |
great for tennis. It is great for sport in the UK. People all round | 1:45:25 | 1:45:29 | |
the world will be happy to see a British winner of Wimbledon for the | 1:45:29 | 1:45:36 | |
first time in 77 years. We are all very proud of him. Thank you. | 1:45:36 | 1:45:42 | |
Lovely to hear from Chris. Scotland and Great Britain have two amazing | 1:45:42 | 1:45:48 | |
sporting icons. Let's hear from Andy's dad now. | 1:45:48 | 1:45:55 | |
Here is a very proud dad. A party atmosphere. What do you think? | 1:45:55 | 1:45:58 | |
has been fantastic. It has been a great day. I have loved every minute | 1:45:58 | 1:46:04 | |
of it. What was it like sitting there on those match points? It was | 1:46:04 | 1:46:10 | |
getting a bit icy, but he managed to pull it off, and that is all that | 1:46:10 | 1:46:18 | |
mattered. You wonder if he is ever going to get there in the end, but | 1:46:18 | 1:46:22 | |
he achieved it, and that is all that matters. When he was there, point | 1:46:22 | 1:46:25 | |
after point, and you were worried if he was going to come back... What | 1:46:25 | 1:46:32 | |
was it like? It was great. You have to have moments like that. Andy did | 1:46:32 | 1:46:38 | |
so well. He is obviously feeling pretty tired now, and I thought it | 1:46:38 | 1:46:42 | |
was terrific. It is absolutely wonderful that you will have seen | 1:46:42 | 1:46:46 | |
him growing up, hitting the ball in the back garden, and now, Centre | 1:46:46 | 1:46:50 | |
Court is just behind you, and he is the Wimbledon champion. Some up what | 1:46:50 | 1:46:55 | |
that means to you. It is very difficult to do that at the moment. | 1:46:55 | 1:47:02 | |
It is a terrific achievement. It will take a few weeks, a few months, | 1:47:02 | 1:47:07 | |
before it settles in. But it feels good just now. What would you do to | 1:47:07 | 1:47:11 | |
celebrate tonight? I will certainly have a few glasses of champagne, and | 1:47:11 | 1:47:19 | |
I am sure the rest of the family will too. Very well done.Thank you. | 1:47:19 | 1:47:24 | |
I am sure a few people will have a few glasses of champagne tonight. | 1:47:24 | 1:47:29 | |
What a day it has been. You could see how exhausted he was in the | 1:47:29 | 1:47:34 | |
studio. You can relive it all again this evening with Today At | 1:47:34 | 1:47:44 | |

Wimbledon, at 10:25pm. And tomorrow, at 9pm. We will see all | 1:47:44 | 1:47:47 | |
those behind-the-scenes and the celebrations that happened today. | 1:47:47 | 1:47:54 | |
What an amazing story, and what a 12 month this young man has had. So, as | 1:47:54 | 1:47:59 | |
Andy tries to go and recover, we will head to Centre Court. We are in | 1:47:59 | 1:48:05 | |
the final set of this Mixed Doubles final, with Soares and Raymond 4-3 | 1:48:05 | 1:48:15 | |
1:48:15 | 1:48:15 | ||
up in the final set. Let's rejoin MICK MULLINS: Break points on either | 1:48:15 | 1:48:22 | |
side of the net have come and gone. We are still on serve, but little | 1:48:22 | 1:48:25 | |
French alarm bells will begin to ring in the head of young Christina | 1:48:25 | 1:48:35 | |
1:48:35 | 1:48:46 | ||
There's Marion Bartoli supporting her friend, Mladenovic. But it is | 1:48:46 | 1:48:50 | |
alarm bells here, because they were looking so good in the second set. | 1:48:50 | 1:49:00 | |
1:49:00 | 1:49:13 | ||
And it looked like Lisa Raymond and the evening. What time is the cab | 1:49:13 | 1:49:21 | |
booked? It is not a ball. It is a dinner. But it is always very late. | 1:49:21 | 1:49:27 | |
You have to wait for Andy to do all of his interviews. But I do think it | 1:49:27 | 1:49:33 | |
worries her in the slightest. She is just over the moon. -- I do not | 1:49:33 | 1:49:41 | |
think. You tend to think the party won't start until she gets there, | 1:49:41 | 1:49:49 | |
anyway. Well, it won't start until Andy gets there, because he is still | 1:49:49 | 1:49:53 | |
doing a tonne of interviews. They will have some stories to talk about | 1:49:53 | 1:49:58 | |
when they sit next to each other. It is a very nice event, because you | 1:49:58 | 1:50:03 | |
get all the junior champions, and the legends, and everybody going. | 1:50:03 | 1:50:12 | |
is just warm and nice. I don't know who her plus one will be. It might | 1:50:12 | 1:50:16 | |
be Kristina Mladenovic. They might just both go as Wimbledon champion - | 1:50:16 | 1:50:22 | |
you never know! A tricky second serve there. A slow one. She has | 1:50:22 | 1:50:27 | |
bombed in some at high speed. She has served some aces. She has served | 1:50:27 | 1:50:37 | |
1:50:37 | 1:50:55 | ||
a double fault as well. That one was those tosses. It looks like she was | 1:50:55 | 1:51:00 | |
a little nervous with herb Althoff. Two doubles in this game. Her | 1:51:00 | 1:51:05 | |
decision now is whether to go for a big serve, having just served a | 1:51:05 | 1:51:15 | |
1:51:15 | 1:51:29 | ||
UMPIRE: Nestor and Miss Mladenovic are challenging the call. Out! I | 1:51:29 | 1:51:39 | |
1:51:39 | 1:51:41 | ||
can't believe it. By a blade.Of all the close once we have seen, I think | 1:51:41 | 1:51:50 | |
that might be the closest. There is a God! And he speaks French. And he | 1:51:50 | 1:52:00 | |
1:52:00 | 1:52:30 | ||
serves, but has passed is wandering tension of what we saw as a little | 1:52:30 | 1:52:36 | |
aperitif on Centre Court earlier, but this is the perfect ending | 1:52:36 | 1:52:46 | |
1:52:46 | 1:52:47 | ||
tonight on the perfect seeds, Bruno Soares and Lisa | 1:52:47 | 1:52:54 | |
Raymond, start to exert some dominance on it? I don't think they | 1:52:54 | 1:53:04 | |
1:53:04 | 1:53:16 | ||
dropped a set in this championship serve against Daniel Nestor, the | 1:53:16 | 1:53:26 | |
1:53:26 | 1:53:26 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 125 seconds | 1:53:26 | 1:54:40 | |
colours the returns have been very of the match, and it has been won by | 1:54:40 | 1:54:50 | |
1:54:50 | 1:54:56 | ||
to finish. Particularly down the line, and then a few little hooks | 1:54:56 | 1:55:06 | |
1:55:06 | 1:55:08 | ||
UMPIRE: Soares and Miss raiment are challenging the call. The ball was | 1:55:08 | 1:55:18 | |
1:55:18 | 1:55:44 | ||
women's title with Renee Stubbs. She was doubles champion with Leander | 1:55:44 | 1:55:54 | |
1:55:54 | 1:56:08 | ||
pays as long ago as 1999. -- Leander going out. Please go out! She was | 1:56:08 | 1:56:18 | |
1:56:18 | 1:56:54 | ||
challenging in media to the. Well, defending champion, that close to | 1:56:54 | 1:56:59 | |
winning the title again. I guess when you are that close, Virginia, | 1:56:59 | 1:57:05 | |
it can still feel like 1 million miles away, particularly the way | 1:57:05 | 1:57:11 | |
their opponents have played so far. There have just been a couple of | 1:57:11 | 1:57:20 | |
little chinks on the women's serves on both sides. The last thing you | 1:57:20 | 1:57:24 | |
can think about is, I am getting close to winning. You can't even | 1:57:24 | 1:57:32 | |
think that, because it is Nestor's serve coming up. He has been serving | 1:57:32 | 1:57:37 | |
some rockets. And a very awkward serve. I am still having trouble | 1:57:37 | 1:57:42 | |
even guessing who is going to win this. They have both had their | 1:57:42 | 1:57:46 | |
brilliance is, and a few little things where the other team have | 1:57:46 | 1:57:52 | |
been better. That is what it is all about, I guess. The responsibility | 1:57:52 | 1:58:02 | |
1:58:02 | 1:58:08 | ||
of staying in this final rests on stages, you can easily get a bit | 1:58:08 | 1:58:14 | |
tight on your serve. The decision is whether to go for a slightly more | 1:58:14 | 1:58:24 | |
cautious first serve. Or all out, like that! He has had a lot of | 1:58:24 | 1:58:27 | |
success with that left-handed serve out to the forehand of Lisa | 1:58:27 | 1:58:37 | |
1:58:37 | 1:58:37 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 125 seconds | 1:58:37 | 1:59:27 | |
Raymond. It is a very awkward serve has gone to ready herself for the | 1:59:27 | 1:59:36 | |
party... I can't believe she would want to miss her mate winning a | 1:59:36 | 1:59:46 | |
1:59:46 | 2:00:10 | ||
much success in doubles recently. However, it was the pure power of | 2:00:10 | 2:00:18 | |
the Canadian, the muscle of Nestor, that saw them home there. And they | 2:00:18 | 2:00:24 | |
still can't be split in this third set decider. This is a game, | 2:00:24 | 2:00:30 | |
obviously, that Nestor and Mladenovic would like to break | 2:00:30 | 2:00:40 | |
2:00:40 | 2:00:40 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 125 seconds | 2:00:40 | 2:01:26 | |
on Lisa Raymond to do is to stay experienced on that side of the | 2:01:27 | 2:01:34 | |
net, and Daniel Nestor's experience on this side. So quite amusing | 2:01:34 | 2:01:44 | |
2:01:44 | 2:02:22 | ||
seeing who is going to be the weak bit of an iffy service game, the | 2:02:22 | 2:02:30 | |
last one. So it is all her responsibility now. Her serve was | 2:02:30 | 2:02:35 | |
getting away from her. She had two double fault, but didn't have a | 2:02:35 | 2:02:41 | |
break point last time she served. But break points are a bit of a | 2:02:41 | 2:02:47 | |
concern if they do come at this stage. Especially against a woman of | 2:02:47 | 2:02:53 | |
her experience. She won the US Open title with Renee Stubbs a few years | 2:02:53 | 2:03:03 | |
2:03:03 | 2:03:04 | ||
ago. She overtook Billie Jean King as the oldest woman to win a title. | 2:03:04 | 2:03:10 | |
She has just been extraordinary. She is still doing it, with the last | 2:03:10 | 2:03:14 | |
trips of sunshine almost having left us on Centre Court. She's still in | 2:03:14 | 2:03:21 | |
here pitching for a Wimbledon final. This is Mladenovic, serving to stay | 2:03:21 | 2:03:31 | |
2:03:31 | 2:03:38 | ||
scoreboard has lost its lights. The scoreboard has gone and we can't | 2:03:38 | 2:03:43 | |
even tell her first they are serving. The whole fortnight has | 2:03:43 | 2:03:48 | |
finally gotten too much for us all and we have lost the electrics. | 2:03:49 | 2:03:58 | |
2:03:59 | 2:04:38 | ||
There is only so much a school board get a really good first serving. -- | 2:04:38 | 2:04:48 | |

Brazilian who brings up two championship points for him and his | 2:05:14 | 2:05:18 | |
partner, the great doubles exponent of Lisa Raymond. She is almost there | 2:05:18 | 2:05:28 | |
2:05:28 | 2:05:42 | ||
go at. Last time, he guessed correctly and he knew what he was | 2:05:42 | 2:05:45 | |
going to do with the ball and got the benefit of it touching the net. | 2:05:45 | 2:05:55 | |
2:05:55 | 2:06:35 | ||
went for that big first serve down the middle and just missed it and | 2:06:35 | 2:06:45 | |
2:06:45 | 2:06:45 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 125 seconds | 2:06:45 | 2:07:44 | |
UMPIRE: Both teams' challenges are reset to zero. | 2:07:44 | 2:07:53 | |
What a great hold. The scoreboard has come back. | 2:07:53 | 2:08:03 | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 125 seconds | 2:08:03 | 2:08:48 | |
Mladenovic sees it exactly, so although Lisa Raymond has quick | 2:08:48 | 2:08:58 | |
2:08:58 | 2:09:26 | ||
hands, she can't do anything about who do not want the day to end, | 2:09:26 | 2:09:36 | |

don't want the fortnight to end. lobs in this match, but this is done | 2:09:48 | 2:09:52 | |

2:11:18 | 2:11:18 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 125 seconds | 2:11:18 | 2:12:16 | |
we have seen off Nestor's forehand. far away now. | 2:12:16 | 2:12:20 | |
SUE BARKER: They will be serving for the title in just a moment, so if | 2:12:20 | 2:12:26 | |
you are tuning in and expecting Top Gear, that will follow the | 2:12:26 | 2:12:36 | |
2:12:36 | 2:12:45 | ||
conclusion of this match. Top Gear be the final chapter. Given how well | 2:12:45 | 2:12:54 | |
they have played so far, Nestor and Mladenovic, how well they have both | 2:12:54 | 2:12:59 | |
played but in particular the young Frenchwoman, Virginia. Part of the | 2:12:59 | 2:13:05 | |
next generation of young players who are we are getting so excited about. | 2:13:05 | 2:13:08 | |
The end of these championships, where we have celebrated a little | 2:13:08 | 2:13:11 | |
changing of the guard and so many other things from a British | 2:13:11 | 2:13:15 | |
perspective, is it written in the stars that Daniel Nestor will serve | 2:13:15 | 2:13:25 | |
2:13:25 | 2:13:55 | ||
serve from him, that awkward lefty into gear in the first set. Since | 2:13:55 | 2:14:04 | |
then, he has been very good. Nestor, Natasha, readying herself | 2:14:04 | 2:14:14 | |

Daniel Nestor and Kristina Mladenovic. They are the mixed | 2:15:58 | 2:16:05 | |
Hubble 's champions. SUE BARKER: What an entertaining | 2:16:05 | 2:16:11 | |
match to finish Wimbledon this year. Wonderful scenes on Centre Court. | 2:16:11 | 2:16:16 | |
Wimbledon 2013 is now over, and what memories we will take away! Scenes | 2:16:16 | 2:16:20 | |
on Centre Court today were unforgettable, as Andy Murray became | 2:16:20 | 2:16:25 | |
the first Briton in 77 years to win the men's titles at Wimbledon. With | 2:16:25 | 2:16:29 | |
the hopes of the nation on his shoulders, he was supreme. He held | 2:16:29 | 2:16:34 | |
his nerve to beat the very best in tennis, the world number one Novak | 2:16:34 | 2:16:40 | |
Djokovic. Murray won it in straight sets. The emotion pouring out after | 2:16:40 | 2:16:44 | |
the match. At this stage, the enormity of what he had done hadn't | 2:16:44 | 2:16:50 | |
really sunk in. He may have walked past the trophy many times here at | 2:16:50 | 2:16:56 | |
Wimbledon. He has dreams of winning the title. Now he has the Tracy and | 2:16:56 | 2:17:00 | |
his name on the winner 's board. The dream is now reality for Andy | 2:17:00 | 2:17:10 | |
2:17:10 | 2:17:12 | ||
Murray. -- now he has the cosy. What the story it has been. When you look | 2:17:12 | 2:17:16 | |
back 12 months ago, there were tears of despair on Centre Court when he | 2:17:16 | 2:17:20 | |
lost to Roger Federer. Today, he produced some of the best tennis we | 2:17:20 | 2:17:25 | |
have ever seen. So, for British tennis, for British sport, for | 2:17:25 | 2:17:30 | |
Scotland, and for a young man from Dunblane, it really has been quite a | 2:17:30 | 2:17:40 | |
2:17:40 | 2:17:45 | ||
day. This has been a Wimbledon we # What if I could go back to the way | 2:17:45 | 2:17:55 | |
2:17:55 | 2:18:01 | ||
it used to be? What if there is a # What if I don't see you when we | 2:18:01 | 2:18:11 | |
