Day 3

:00:00. > :00:41.temperatures which are warming up quite nicely.

:00:42. > :00:46.Hello and welcome to day three of Wimbledon 2014. The home supporters

:00:47. > :00:58.are out in force. Andy Murray is playing Blaz Rola.

:00:59. > :01:04.Who is he? Come on, Tim! It is also a special day for Andy because he is

:01:05. > :01:08.the guest editor of the famous comic the Beano. It is a unique

:01:09. > :01:16.achievement coming after his unique achievement of forking out as men's

:01:17. > :01:24.defending champion -- walking out. Anyone for tennis? Please, Sue! We

:01:25. > :01:30.can only wonder what is going through Andy Murray's mind now.

:01:31. > :01:41.Expectations high as Murray gets his defence under way. Stunning defence

:01:42. > :01:59.from Murray. It is like he has never left this court. Ideal date, ideal

:02:00. > :02:08.start to his defence. -- ideal day. He leads 2-0. What a perfect start

:02:09. > :02:15.to the defence of his title here in SW19.

:02:16. > :02:23.Yes, today he is a sporting superstar and now a comic book

:02:24. > :02:29.hero. That will impress his younger fans and he will hope to inspire

:02:30. > :02:49.them again as he continues the defence of his title.

:02:50. > :02:58.What a welcome. That is what his victory a year ago meant to be fans

:02:59. > :03:04.watching on Court One. A wonderful ovation. We will be heading over to

:03:05. > :03:12.the Andy in a moment. He is just one of the big names on court on day

:03:13. > :03:16.three of Wimbledon. Yes, it is six wins to go for Andy. He is up

:03:17. > :03:25.against Blaz Rola, ranked 92 in the world. Top seed Novak Djokovic was

:03:26. > :03:31.in clinical form in round one. Today will be tougher. He faces Radek

:03:32. > :03:39.Stepanek who beat Murray on the grass at Queen's Club. Grigor

:03:40. > :03:46.Dimitrov is an court this afternoon facing the Australian Luke Saville.

:03:47. > :03:51.Agnieszka Radwanska is another who thrives at Wimbledon. She was the

:03:52. > :03:54.runner-up two years ago and a semifinalist last year. She is first

:03:55. > :04:01.up on Centre Court against the Australian. Casey Dellacqua.

:04:02. > :04:11.Caroline Wozniacki will be on court. The former world 11 is up

:04:12. > :04:18.against the wildcard from Great Britain Naomi Broady -- the former

:04:19. > :04:22.world number one. Let us take you to the results. Venus Williams is true.

:04:23. > :04:26.Her opponent had the trainer on court after the first set and it

:04:27. > :04:35.might have had a lot to do with the second set score. Williams is

:04:36. > :04:41.through. No problems for the number two seed, Australian Open champion

:04:42. > :04:56.Li Na of China. She defeated the Austrian in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2.

:04:57. > :05:03.British interest down on Court 8 today as Jamie Murray and his

:05:04. > :05:11.partner John Peers defeated the two Brits, Dan Evans and James Ward, in

:05:12. > :05:22.straight sets. They were finalists at the Queen's Club tournament and

:05:23. > :05:24.going well here as well. Ernests Gulbis is up against Sergiy

:05:25. > :05:27.Stakhovsky. Sergiy Gulbis is up against Sergiy

:05:28. > :05:32.coming through. He caused a big shot last year, defeating Roger Federer.

:05:33. > :05:40.This year he has put out another big seed. That is what has been

:05:41. > :05:47.happening elsewhere. All eyes on Court One. Andy Murray has made a

:05:48. > :05:48.great start. He is a break of serve up in the second. Let us join this

:05:49. > :05:55.with John Lloyd and Andrew Cotter. All going to plan at the moment for

:05:56. > :06:24.Murray. His favourite serve den on the

:06:25. > :06:27.forehand side, the one down the middle. He has

:06:28. > :06:29.forehand side, the one down the serve in the last two or three

:06:30. > :07:03.years. Remember the good old days. He has

:07:04. > :07:07.calmed down on the drop shot, hasn't he? It is still an awesome weapon,

:07:08. > :07:11.but now it is much more selective. Before, he used to... Well, he was

:07:12. > :07:16.hitting them from all over the place. Now he picks them at the

:07:17. > :07:56.right time almost every time. Looks pretty good, if you are an

:07:57. > :08:07.Andy Murray fan. One lonely Blaz Rola fan but he has been quite of

:08:08. > :08:17.late. Most of them out there supporting Andy Murray. Still Henman

:08:18. > :08:29.Hill, mind you. A grand place to watch in weather like this.

:08:30. > :08:36.Judy Murray is there, sitting a little bit away from the rest of the

:08:37. > :08:40.Murray camp. They are the cheap seats! On the other side of the

:08:41. > :08:48.court, actually. Let us take you down the Andy Murray entourage.

:08:49. > :08:57.Amelie Mauresmo, a long-time friend, Matt Little, Jez Green in the white

:08:58. > :09:05.cap and the new physio, Mark, Leon Smith... Big entourage. No seats for

:09:06. > :09:50.Judy. Completely full. Sorry, mum. Second serve. Too easy for Murray to

:09:51. > :09:55.gobble up. How many people did you travel with, your entourage? No one.

:09:56. > :10:27.That is quite sad. You fearful Rola now. -- you fear

:10:28. > :10:32.for. It is not easy. One of the best courts in the world playing against

:10:33. > :10:36.Andy Murray, you just don't know what to do out here, you have tried

:10:37. > :10:42.everything and it is getting no return.

:10:43. > :10:58.He read that well. Murray so nearly had it. He has volleyed well. He has

:10:59. > :11:03.not had many of them, but when he has, good technique. Good lunch

:11:04. > :11:41.volley. Kept his balance well. Soft hands. -- lunge.

:11:42. > :11:49.Unlucky. It is almost like you wish you could get a hypnotist the night

:11:50. > :11:54.before to say to players, imagine you are not playing Andy Murray when

:11:55. > :11:59.you look across the net. That is the sort of forehand he would normally

:12:00. > :12:01.make, but he sees Murray and knows he has to do something special and

:12:02. > :13:25.misses the ball. Rola has to hold here if any

:13:26. > :13:56.incredibly faint hopes are to be entertained.

:13:57. > :14:45.He has the double break in this second set. Murray is romping away

:14:46. > :14:52.with it now. This does not say a huge amount for the man who Blaz

:14:53. > :14:58.Rola destroyed in the first round, Pablo Andujar. A breakaway royal box

:14:59. > :15:00.on Court One. They have moved across from Centre Court. This is where it

:15:01. > :15:45.is all happening. That is a huge gulf, the total

:15:46. > :16:12.number of points won with so long to go. Still a perfectionist.

:16:13. > :16:59.maintain his focus. He has to try to imagine he is under a huge amount of

:17:00. > :17:49.pressure, right up against it. Wide. Rola running around to open up

:17:50. > :18:41.the court. Murray not able to take advantage.

:18:42. > :18:49.That was well taken out of the sky with the sun in his eyes. That

:18:50. > :19:00.certainly was not easy, the overhead with the sun right in his eyes. Good

:19:01. > :19:20.lob volley. Really had to shield the sun, squinting as he hit that.

:19:21. > :19:46.It is time for some more Murray... Just to remind you, the coaching of

:19:47. > :19:51.Amelie Mauresmo is short-term and it will be reviewed after Wimbledon.

:19:52. > :19:56.Andy Murray want someone who can be with him full-time on tour pretty

:19:57. > :20:03.much. We will see after Wimbledon. Also, there has been so much talk

:20:04. > :20:15.about the employment of a female coach and comments who have been

:20:16. > :20:17.dismissive, and more considered ones like someone who employed Billie

:20:18. > :20:29.Jean King in the early 90s, such is the power of the men's game, it is

:20:30. > :20:33.different shot selection. I think the mental side is the key and

:20:34. > :20:38.Amelie Mauresmo has been there and done it. A champion is a champion

:20:39. > :20:44.whether it is a women's Champion or men's Champion. Amelie Mauresmo

:20:45. > :20:47.knows the men's game, she has watched it, she is a total pro. I

:20:48. > :20:51.think it will be a good relationship, as long as there is

:20:52. > :20:52.good bonding with the team which seems to be working out well. I

:20:53. > :21:05.think it is going to be fine. I can think of some other women

:21:06. > :21:12.tennis players who would be very good coaches. I think like Martina

:21:13. > :21:13.Hingis would be excellent, the tactics she used to use on the

:21:14. > :21:28.court. I love that attitude there. He got a

:21:29. > :21:34.little bit annoyed. It was a positive reaction. He is up a set

:21:35. > :21:38.and 5-0 and he is mad he misses that ball. He is greedy, he wants every

:21:39. > :22:00.single point. That is what the top players do.

:22:01. > :22:11.Andy Murray has always had strong female role models, coaches. Jimmy

:22:12. > :22:12.Connors who is joining us next week in the commentary, his mother,

:22:13. > :22:41.Gloria, she was his coach. He did everything right in this

:22:42. > :22:47.rally. Kamen exactly at the right time. -- came in. He makes that won

:22:48. > :23:28.nine out of ten times. Neutrals in the crowd. They would

:23:29. > :23:48.love to see Blaz Rola get a game here in the second set.

:23:49. > :24:10.Andy has it. That was for you, coach! Jerry -- CHEERING

:24:11. > :24:15.One of those days. No mercy for Murray. Serving for the

:24:16. > :24:22.set. And he does still have the coolest

:24:23. > :25:15.name in the game. Without question! He could not have hurt that forehand

:25:16. > :25:23.any harder, I don't think! -- hit. Did not look close to getting to the

:25:24. > :25:38.forehand. Three set points to face. As simple as that. Murray is flying

:25:39. > :25:52.on Court One. Two sets to the against Blaz Rola.

:25:53. > :25:57.SUE BARKER: Comfortable so far for the defending champion. We will be

:25:58. > :26:05.back there in a moment. A couple of results to bring you. Agnieszka

:26:06. > :26:16.Radwanska, seeded four, last you's semifinalist, she needed 56 minutes

:26:17. > :26:25.to defeat the Australian Casey Dellacqua 6-4, 6-0. Meanwhile, on

:26:26. > :26:31.Court 18, Kevin Anderson seeded 20, he is through in four sets against

:26:32. > :26:34.Edouard Roger-Vasselin. The big serving South African could

:26:35. > :26:35.potentially be a fourth-round opponent for Murray if they both get

:26:36. > :26:52.through to the last 16. That was out on Court 18. Next on

:26:53. > :26:55.court, Grigor Dimitrov. Here is up against Luke Saville, the qualifier

:26:56. > :27:02.from Australia. Both of them are former junior champions here. Here

:27:03. > :27:05.comes Grigor Dimitrov. He has never yet reached the

:27:06. > :27:09.comes Grigor Dimitrov. He has never Wimbledon, but many are saying he

:27:10. > :27:12.will go a lot further than that in the tournament this year. You talk

:27:13. > :27:16.about Anderson being a potential moment Ali opponent for Murray, he

:27:17. > :27:26.about Anderson being a potential will be an opponent for Murray in

:27:27. > :27:28.the quarters. -- you talk about Anderson being a potential opponent

:27:29. > :27:36.for Murray. Back on court. Murray is making it look easy. Blaz

:27:37. > :28:18.Rola serving to start the third set. The slice is nasty. No one keeps it

:28:19. > :28:23.lower than him on the grass court. The backhand slice. Down by your

:28:24. > :29:03.So good! So good, so easy. ankles.

:29:04. > :29:11.So good! So good, so easy. Manoeuvring the ball around at

:29:12. > :29:17.ease. If he were not on the other end of it, Blaz Rola I am sure would

:29:18. > :29:19.be admiring this as well. He is a big fan of the way Murray plays,

:29:20. > :29:51.just not today. Headline writers are coming up with

:29:52. > :29:54.all sorts for this. Steam-rollered... That is awful!

:29:55. > :31:11.Three break points for Andy Murray. A little bit wasteful. Still has

:31:12. > :32:06.one. A rare sight, that, two errors in a row.

:32:07. > :32:10.fine style. Yikes if you are a Rola fun but it is good watching for Andy

:32:11. > :32:15.Murray. In any sport there are those who scaled the finest mountain and

:32:16. > :32:21.look around and think, what else is there? There are those who come back

:32:22. > :32:26.and come back and want to win more and more. Let's have a look at the

:32:27. > :32:36.direction of Andy Murray's serves. He is mixing it up nicely. He is. He

:32:37. > :32:40.is playing a lefty. So he has altered his serve out a little bit

:32:41. > :33:39.and gone more out wide and down the middle on the backhand side.

:33:40. > :33:45.He is hitting the ball so cleanly. He did that in his first round as

:33:46. > :34:06.well. Just timing the ball beautifully.

:34:07. > :34:13.That is probably his worst shot of the day, there. Didn't move his

:34:14. > :35:04.feet. And very rarely for him, was off balance on shot.

:35:05. > :35:11.New balls, please. A couple of loose shots in there but by and large,

:35:12. > :35:21.this is as impressive as it gets. Give him the ball in a comfortable

:35:22. > :37:52.area and Murray will do this to you. It is a familiar story. You just

:37:53. > :38:16.wonder how Rola can get anything from this match.

:38:17. > :38:23.Some decent stuff in there from Rola, but that is wonderful from

:38:24. > :38:29.Murray. He played a Rola, but that is wonderful from

:38:30. > :38:33.there. What a tennis education he is getting today. Apart from playing on

:38:34. > :38:36.Court Number One in front of this huge crowd, which is something he is

:38:37. > :38:40.not used to, huge crowd, which is something he is

:38:41. > :38:48.player who is just playing so superbly and it is just a huge match

:38:49. > :38:52.for him. He was the NCA eight champion 2013 in the States and it

:38:53. > :38:59.is interesting now, the NCA, the college system there, is a bit more

:39:00. > :39:10.in vogue now. It went out of vogue a few years ago and now it seems to be

:39:11. > :39:17.back. John Isner lost in the final of the NCAA. Steve Johnson as well.

:39:18. > :39:22.There are six in the draw. The system is starting to work again and

:39:23. > :39:25.a lot of people are thinking of it as a good education anyway and then

:39:26. > :39:34.a good tennis education on top of it. You mentioned what it was in the

:39:35. > :40:21.past, Connors... Several war won the NCAA title. -- all one NCAA title.

:40:22. > :40:32.And it has to be that good from Rola to win a point. Therein lies the

:40:33. > :40:37.problem. With these sort of shots. This one here, the off forehand,

:40:38. > :40:49.that angle, you just cannot keep doing enough of those.

:40:50. > :41:27.He forces you to go against the odds the whole time.

:41:28. > :41:54.That second serve just wafted into the net.

:41:55. > :42:06.A couple of casual points. First time he has sort of relaxed little

:42:07. > :42:13.bit. Two errors in a row to get break point. But is all he's doing,

:42:14. > :42:23.-- all his own doing, not his opponent's.

:42:24. > :42:32.Is pattern there and the other two were chances that Rola has had on

:42:33. > :43:34.Murray's serve. He belted it out wide to the forehand.

:43:35. > :43:44.Nice from Rola. Mixing it up. That was a winner. Murray wouldn't have

:43:45. > :44:01.got close to that. Very well disguised but just drag it wide.

:44:02. > :45:54.He may be playing the Spanish Bautista Agut in the next round.

:45:55. > :46:44.He doesn't want to go down with a bagel here. Certainly in danger of

:46:45. > :47:11.that. A sorry way to give it away. Murray

:47:12. > :47:18.will serve for it in just a few moments. You look forward to a match

:47:19. > :47:24.like this, and then you are absolutely blown away, which Blaz

:47:25. > :47:28.Rola has been. It is a shame because he has some talent, but the occasion

:47:29. > :47:37.is perhaps a little too much for him it is a way step up to play someone

:47:38. > :47:39.of Murray's calibre. He has moved up 109 places in the rankings, has

:47:40. > :47:42.Rola, so he is on 109 places in the rankings, has

:47:43. > :47:47.Rola, so he is his way up but this is the gulf in class between the two

:47:48. > :47:51.players. He has tried hard here to force the action but he has had to

:47:52. > :47:54.go outside his comfort zone and he is just coming up against such a

:47:55. > :48:05.great player. He doesn't know what to do. A brief watch from Henman

:48:06. > :49:12.Hill, this match, because it is very shot. The backspin on that shot...

:49:13. > :49:36.Almost impossible to get that. I am frantically trying to scrabble

:49:37. > :49:37.around to find out when Murray has had a bigger victory done this at

:49:38. > :50:21.Wimbledon. -- van this. As comprehensive victory as you are

:50:22. > :50:35.to see. The defending champion, the Murray Machine rumbles on. Not too

:50:36. > :50:41.much energy expired. Court One has been kind to him. That was a maestro

:50:42. > :51:00.at work there. He was absolutely brilliant today. That is it, I've

:51:01. > :51:10.seen enough. Blaz Rola came out here after a very comfortable win himself

:51:11. > :51:26.in the first round a half. Murray was several steps up. -- in the

:51:27. > :51:42.first round against Andujar. Batman has just beaten him comprehensively

:51:43. > :51:48.unconvincingly. -- and convincingly. There is a statement, from Andy

:51:49. > :51:54.Murray to the rest of the Championship. When you look at the

:51:55. > :51:58.early part of Wimbledon, you obviously get through the matches

:51:59. > :52:03.but you look to see how your game is progressing, how you are feeling the

:52:04. > :52:08.ball, what is going right and wrong. Anything to work on. The answer for

:52:09. > :52:10.him is nothing to work on. Everything is working almost to

:52:11. > :52:22.perfection, and a marvellous performance. Let's hear from the

:52:23. > :52:40.winner. That looked easy win. Yes, I played

:52:41. > :52:46.fairly well today. He's just came out of college and he has broken

:52:47. > :52:51.into the top 100, so it was tough for him today. He does not have much

:52:52. > :52:55.grass experience but I think it will definitely keep improving because he

:52:56. > :52:59.has a good game, but I just have to concentrate on my side of the net

:53:00. > :53:03.today. I took care of myself pretty well through the majority of the

:53:04. > :53:09.match. How much does it help to have a match where you do not expend too

:53:10. > :53:14.much energy? It helps. I feel like that cost me a little bit at the

:53:15. > :53:18.French Open, not necessarily that I would have beaten Rafa in the

:53:19. > :53:22.semifinals even though I felt perfect. But I played a lot of lawn

:53:23. > :53:27.matches there and a lot of the sets I was ahead and early in the

:53:28. > :53:32.tournament I've is a break up in one match in every single set and I won

:53:33. > :53:35.12-10 on the fifth set and if you can finish matches as quickly as

:53:36. > :53:40.possible it definitely helps in the long run. Still getting to know

:53:41. > :53:45.Amelie, I guess. What will you make of today's performance? I'm sure she

:53:46. > :53:49.will be happy with it. I obviously have not seen her since the match

:53:50. > :53:55.but we will have a chat about it this afternoon, rest and then get

:53:56. > :53:59.ready for the next round. Weldon. SUE BARKER: Lost just two games on

:54:00. > :54:04.Court Number One, and we will get more reaction to that victory later

:54:05. > :54:07.in the day. But Murray is winning on Court Number One, we are heading to

:54:08. > :54:13.Centre Court to see the champion of Queen's, Greek or in the trough, up

:54:14. > :54:19.against Luke Saville, a qualifier from Australia. -- the champion of

:54:20. > :54:37.Queen's, Grigor Dimitrov. COMMENTATOR: A very exciting rally.

:54:38. > :54:40.Saddle having just dropped his serve now has eight break point. --

:54:41. > :54:51.saddle. Did well to stay in this rally and

:54:52. > :54:58.then when he got his chance on the parting shot he executed it well. He

:54:59. > :55:34.dropped serve in the last game, did the young Australian.

:55:35. > :55:40.About 150 miles North of Adelaide. Wimbledon junior champion here in

:55:41. > :56:04.2011. Dimitrov won that title back in 2008.

:56:05. > :56:17.Three titles won this year by the Bulgarian, who is 23 years of age.

:56:18. > :56:35.13 in the world rankings now. Including Bucharest and Queen's.

:56:36. > :56:50.Oh! New balls, please. So despite the stumble, Dimitrov manages to

:56:51. > :57:03.consolidate the break. You look at Dimitrov now and the

:57:04. > :57:06.progress he has made. On his first tour title at the end of last year

:57:14. > :57:18.if we are looking for the next big player, this is it. Certainly he has

:57:19. > :57:23.been talked about for a number of years, and now as you mentioned in

:57:24. > :57:27.the last 12 months, he has really been adding some substance to his

:57:28. > :57:31.game. He has been winning titles, his ranking has been moving in the

:57:32. > :57:37.right direction, and when you break down the attributes of his game, he

:57:38. > :57:42.has all the shots. Good service. He is popping them down pretty quick

:57:43. > :57:46.and very strong from the baseline. Good racket head speed. Good

:57:47. > :57:50.technique. Moves well. It seems he has the mental capacity as well, so

:57:51. > :57:54.it will be interesting to watch whether he can keep developing and

:57:55. > :57:59.whether he can continue to win tournaments and hopefully Grand

:58:00. > :58:00.Slams in the future. He is now being guided by the Australian Roger

:58:07. > :58:09.guided by the Australian Roger He has worked

:58:13. > :58:15.guided by the Australian Roger He with a strong work ethic. Perhaps

:58:16. > :58:32.that gives you that little bit of hardness. I think so.

:58:33. > :58:36.When he won his first round here, Luke Saville, it was his very first

:58:37. > :58:47.victory at this level. It has done his bank balance the

:58:48. > :58:55.world of good. It has done his bank balance the

:58:56. > :59:04.?10,000 this year. Even if he loses this match, he takes ?43,000 away.

:59:05. > :59:11.And in terms of his development as a young player, his ranking, which

:59:12. > :00:25.currently stands at 236, will be improved.

:00:26. > :00:47.Best forehand was 103mph. That is absurd. -- that forehand.

:00:48. > :00:57.Lost his last service game from 30-0 up. At this level, you have got to

:00:58. > :01:33.play four good points, not This really is the challenge. You

:01:34. > :01:41.see Saville sit Ali hit shots like this. He has the capability but it

:01:42. > :01:49.is whether he can keep the consistency, not just for a game,

:01:50. > :02:01.but for five sets -- you see Saville hit.

:02:31. > :02:39.plays Caroline Wozniacki. Nonchalant!

:02:40. > :03:11.Nonchalant or a little bit lucky? You are a hard man, Henman.

:03:12. > :03:20.He has certainly done the right thing there, holding onto his serve,

:03:21. > :03:25.forcing Dimitrov to serve out the first set. The last game of a set or

:03:26. > :03:38.a match is sometimes not the easiest to win.

:03:39. > :03:54.The right shoulder is warming up now. 134 mph-macro.

:03:55. > :04:03.Sorry, I was looking at the wrong column. It is a new thing we have

:04:04. > :04:15.got in our booth this year. I knew he was serving well, but not that

:04:16. > :04:42.well! He has served four aces. It is three set points after 29 minutes.

:04:43. > :04:48.SUE BARKER: Grigor Dimitrov takes the opening set, bidding to get into

:04:49. > :04:55.the third round of Wimbledon for the first time. But we are going to

:04:56. > :04:58.update you with what has been happening elsewhere. We know Andy

:04:59. > :05:06.Murray is through. Disappointing news for Britain's Tara Moore. She

:05:07. > :05:07.battled hard on court to against the former finalist here, Vera

:05:08. > :05:14.Zvonareva. former finalist here, Vera

:05:15. > :05:20.Moore. A year ago, she lost 7-5 in the third set of the opening round.

:05:21. > :05:23.She has battled hard but sadly still without a victory. Vera Zvonareva is

:05:24. > :05:34.through. Over on Court One, former champion

:05:35. > :05:43.Petra Kvitova, seeded sixth, just out her match against Mona Barthel.

:05:44. > :05:51.That is live on the red button. And caught three, this match is not

:05:52. > :05:54.really getting under way -- court number three. Marcos Baghdatis is

:05:55. > :06:03.practising. They are now playing. His opponent had the train up on the

:06:04. > :06:08.court for a hip injury. Marcos Baghdatis is a set and 3-2 up. That

:06:09. > :06:15.match is also on the red button. Excuse me, Leonardo Mayer took the

:06:16. > :06:23.first set. Back to Centre Court. It is the 20-year-old Australian who

:06:24. > :07:22.will get as under way. He is challenging.

:07:23. > :07:28.UMPIRE: Mr Saville is challenging the ball. One of the most

:07:29. > :07:38.enthusiastic challenges I have ever seen.

:07:39. > :07:42.UMPIRE: The call stands. Saville was still trying to lean when the flight

:07:43. > :08:00.of the ball was on Hawk-Eye, trying to help it back into the court.

:08:01. > :08:09.That is not going to help him get back into this match. Second double

:08:10. > :08:34.fault. Dimitrov straightaway with a great chance to break.

:08:35. > :09:03.skills. Saville did well to flick it down the line. So far out of the

:09:04. > :09:08.court. You can see by his reaction how important he knows this is. The

:09:09. > :09:10.early break in the second set, looking to stamp his authority on

:09:11. > :09:37.the match. The problem is as well, when you are

:09:38. > :09:40.the inexperienced player and your opponent who is ranked higher and

:09:41. > :09:42.playing at a higher level, you feel the match is going so quickly,

:09:43. > :10:13.you're just trying to slow it down. Just trying to win a point would be

:10:14. > :10:34.good at this stage. Dimitrov winning the last 11.

:10:35. > :10:44.Eight points played in this set all won by Dimitrov who is into a

:10:45. > :10:49.lovely rhythm. After six minutes of one set, this is a much -- must win

:10:50. > :11:04.game. He gave this a fearful slap, despite

:11:05. > :12:12.sliding. Did not miss by that much. That will make young Luke Saville

:12:13. > :12:20.feel a bit better. The first love service game. Dimitrov is serving so

:12:21. > :12:25.well today. 73% of first serves in. He is winning 86% of the points

:12:26. > :12:35.behind the first serve. One break point we saw when the BBC News

:12:36. > :12:39.joined us. He has not had a sniff of the Dimitrov service games. That is

:12:40. > :12:44.right. Dimitrov has done a very good job on his own serve. It puts

:12:45. > :12:50.enormous pressure on your opponent's serve. Saville did a good

:12:51. > :12:54.job, keeping a high percentage of first serves and trying to keep

:12:55. > :12:59.Dimitrov on the back foot. This is what Saville has been up against.

:13:00. > :13:10.Average first serve speed is a good start. Good variation. The red dots

:13:11. > :13:20.of the bases -- the red dots are the aces. Hitting his spots well. Until

:13:21. > :13:25.Queen's Club, Grigor Dimitrov was best known in Britain for being

:13:26. > :13:26.Maria Sharapova's boyfriend. He is establishing his own credentials

:13:27. > :14:11.very rapidly. You have to make it when you are

:14:12. > :14:30.facing the second serve. Got to get those back into play.

:14:31. > :14:37.I love the way he picked up the half-volley off the return. The

:14:38. > :14:39.racket head speed you talk about, that generates all the pace, and the

:14:40. > :15:08.control. but you certainly need good timing,

:15:09. > :15:13.that is when but you certainly need good timing,

:15:14. > :15:15.that those big mis-hits will come. Saville has not won a point against

:15:16. > :15:40.Dimitrov's three last service games. He is in the same section of the

:15:41. > :15:41.draw as David Ferrer. He reached the quarterfinals in the Australian

:15:42. > :15:52.Open. That was his major quarterfinal.

:15:53. > :15:56.Dimitrov has stopped, saying he is challenging. But the ball was out on

:15:57. > :17:00.the baseline. He can replicate that on the

:17:01. > :17:06.backhand as well. It is such an aggressive shot down the line on the

:17:07. > :17:15.high part of the net. The way he is serving, these might as well be set

:17:16. > :17:23.points. The service judge called fault and it has now been corrected.

:17:24. > :17:40.UMPIRE: Corrected. A little bit of confusion all round. Is Dimitrov

:17:41. > :17:49.going to challenge the correction? He is going to challenge. It has all

:17:50. > :18:38.been explained. The Mitroglou at least smiling. -- dimmer

:18:39. > :18:44.one of those mis-hits you were referring to. It was a mis-hit and

:18:45. > :18:47.slight lack of footwork, he did not move up to the ball. And when he

:18:48. > :19:30.swung, he was a little bit too early on it.

:19:31. > :19:35.The second break secured. I mentioned he was in the same section

:19:36. > :19:40.as David Ferrer of the draw. That will be a fascinating match. David

:19:41. > :19:45.Ferrer is one of the most consistent performers and greatest

:19:46. > :19:50.competitors. Can you see Dimitrov beating him? He would have a chance.

:19:51. > :19:55.He is not going to get ahead of himself yet but we can look further

:19:56. > :19:59.afield in terms of the draw. We can see with his attributes to his game,

:20:00. > :20:03.how hard he is hitting his forehand and how well he is serving, he will

:20:04. > :20:08.be tough to beat. But I think it is very easy to underestimate David

:20:09. > :20:12.Ferrer. You don't think he will be that effective on grass but he is

:20:13. > :20:16.such a good competitor. He moves fantastically well and he is so

:20:17. > :20:19.solid on the baseline. I remember him playing Andy Murray a couple of

:20:20. > :20:24.years ago and they had a really good battle out here on Centre Court. It

:20:25. > :20:29.is one we could look forward to. A lot of fans would like to see that

:20:30. > :20:39.matchup. The young versus the old. Duchess of Cornwall. She is back in

:20:40. > :20:40.her place. She needed to be quick, by the looks

:20:41. > :20:51.her place. She needed to be quick, Woodward, distinguished sportsman,

:20:52. > :20:58.Geoffrey Boycott is there as well. I suppose even as a Welshman, I

:20:59. > :20:59.recognise Sir Clive Woodward's achievement in coaching the England

:21:00. > :21:50.rugby team. the same. Secret to this shot was

:21:51. > :21:55.how well he stayed down. He was not interested in coming back to the

:21:56. > :21:57.court. He got down on that right leg and stayed through the shop, hit the

:21:58. > :22:39.shot and then moved. Dimmer trough has not lost a single

:22:40. > :22:44.point on serve in this set. -- Dimitrov has not lost a single

:22:45. > :22:48.point. A very famous player once lost a set and dropped two points on

:22:49. > :23:00.the serving the entire set. It was that a major, on Centre Court.

:23:01. > :23:27.I remember Stefan Edberg dot-mac he did not drop his shot at all. 1991?

:23:28. > :23:32.Roger Federer lost the first set against Tommy Haas in the French

:23:33. > :23:39.Open a couple of years back. In fact he nearly won the title. He had all

:23:40. > :23:41.six service games to love and he dropped two points on the serve in

:23:42. > :25:14.the tie-break. We will be back to see him serve for

:25:15. > :25:18.the second set in just a moment. Good news for Britain's number one,

:25:19. > :25:25.the defending champion Andy Murray was on court just one hour and 24

:25:26. > :25:32.minutes. He beat Blaz Rola of Slovenia.

:25:33. > :25:38.That was to the delight of the Court One crowd and next up for Andy

:25:39. > :25:46.Murray is the winner of the match currently on court 18.

:25:47. > :26:02.The first set going to Roberto Bautista Agut. That is out on court

:26:03. > :26:07.18. On Court Number One is a former champion.

:26:08. > :26:25.You can see that much on the red button.

:26:26. > :26:34.That is what is happening elsewhere, let's rejoin Centre Court.

:26:35. > :26:38.COMMENTATOR: New balls as Grigor Dimitrov serves 48 two sets to love

:26:39. > :27:09.lead. UMPIRE: Dimitrov is challenging a

:27:10. > :27:26.call. He has not got much wrong today but he has got that one wrong.

:27:27. > :27:50.There is the first point conceded with the serve.

:27:51. > :28:01.I like the way Saville really stepped into that return and took it

:28:02. > :28:02.on the front foot. He is not overawed by this occasion,

:28:03. > :28:18.certainly. I am surprised by that call. I

:28:19. > :28:23.thought that was good. You would think at this stage of the set as

:28:24. > :28:30.well, a challenge left and he might ask the question.

:28:31. > :28:41.I can tell you that it would be in his favour, he was in, but he did

:28:42. > :29:13.not challenge. Instead of being up 15-40, he is now down set point.

:29:14. > :29:20.Things going very nicely indeed for the 11th seeded Grigor Dimitrov. We

:29:21. > :29:24.have talked a lot about him. Let's talk about Luke Saville. From what

:29:25. > :29:29.you have seen in this first almost an hour of the match, a future in

:29:30. > :29:35.the game, top 100 player? Definitely. When you break down his

:29:36. > :29:39.game, technically, he has a lot of talented shots and I think you need

:29:40. > :29:42.more experience, more matchplay. Because he has shown moments where

:29:43. > :29:50.he has played some tennis at a high level but there are too many dips.

:29:51. > :29:55.Against Dimitrov, he is maintaining a high level and is finding it hard

:29:56. > :29:59.to compete. But he is still young, only 20, the more experience you can

:30:00. > :30:04.gain, the better his performances are going to be. Having come through

:30:05. > :30:13.the quarterfinals dot-mac his ranking will jump now.

:30:14. > :30:23.He will be gaining that sort of experience. It is definitely a step

:30:24. > :30:26.in the right direction. He can then look at playing qualifying for some

:30:27. > :30:30.of the events on the main tour which is where he wants to be. It is where

:30:31. > :30:32.he wants to be able to play against the best players in the best

:30:33. > :30:37.tournaments and hopefully make a good living from it. He does look

:30:38. > :30:44.like he has got some game, he just needs a little more experience. Like

:30:45. > :30:46.his opponent, the former world number one junior, it is tough

:30:47. > :30:53.making the transition from being top dog, as it were, to being a nobody.

:30:54. > :30:56.That is right. You get to play in all of the junior Grand Slams and

:30:57. > :31:01.you think it is a lovely existence, but then you move away from juniors

:31:02. > :31:05.and it is into the real, wide world of professional tennis. Where nobody

:31:06. > :32:45.really pays too much attention to the past.

:32:46. > :32:51.A second love service game of the match for Luke Saville. Let's have a

:32:52. > :32:56.look at the statistics of the second set, anything hit you? Certainly a

:32:57. > :33:02.lot of yellow on the left-hand side which means the dominant player, MD

:33:03. > :33:12.8% first serves from Dimitrov is brilliant. -- 78%.

:33:13. > :33:32.The winner of this matchplay is either Benjamin Becker of Germany or

:33:33. > :33:41.the first seeded Ukrainian, Alexandr Dolgopolov.

:33:42. > :35:02.That match being played out on court eight.

:35:03. > :35:13.Pity. He has not had many chances to get into the service game of

:35:14. > :35:17.Dimitrov. Just the one break point. Was certainly a chance there.

:35:18. > :36:16.His father is a construction manager. He is one of three

:36:17. > :36:55.children, one brother and one sister and all of them play tennis.

:36:56. > :37:57.Very solid service game from Luke Saville. We have been talking about

:37:58. > :38:02.Grigor Dimitrov's Forgan -- forehand. He can illustrate the fact

:38:03. > :38:08.his backhand is pretty useful as well. He has been varying it nicely.

:38:09. > :38:13.A mixture of top-spin and slice and predominantly going across but every

:38:14. > :38:17.now and again, throwing one down the line. When you look at these

:38:18. > :38:23.statistics, it surprises me that these hits are only slices, it seems

:38:24. > :38:28.like it has been coming over his backhand a little more. But it is an

:38:29. > :38:30.impressive shot. He has good racket head speed. Creating a lot of

:38:31. > :38:35.top-spin which gives them the margin for error. And he can still really

:38:36. > :38:41.attack of both wings. And all-round talent which is really

:38:42. > :39:36.flowering now. Saville has not been able to get in

:39:37. > :39:41.any scoreboard pressure. He was always behind. He lost his serve

:39:42. > :39:46.early in the second set as well and now, he needs to try to gain some

:39:47. > :39:57.momentum. It is the first time Dimitrov has been down.

:39:58. > :40:10.Now a second serve, can he look to be aggressive?

:40:11. > :40:15.A couple of good points and now it is important not to play the

:40:16. > :40:20.scoreboard, you have to play the next point I look for another

:40:21. > :40:21.opportunity to be aggressive. See if he can create a break point

:40:22. > :40:32.opportunity. As the good players tend to do, 128

:40:33. > :40:54.mph, first serve in the corner. Still in the game but he would fancy

:40:55. > :41:31.a look at a second term. -- serve. Absolutely the right play, took the

:41:32. > :41:32.second serve on the rise, moved forward and then came unstuck with

:41:33. > :42:08.the movement. It was a step in the right

:42:09. > :42:16.wasn't it? He has not had too many opportunities.

:42:17. > :42:17.wasn't it? He has not had too many class to get back to 30-30. Now

:42:18. > :42:20.wasn't it? He has not had too many has to focus on his own service in.

:42:21. > :42:29.-- game. Thought about challenging but

:42:30. > :43:05.decided not to. By his standards, he has just gone

:43:06. > :43:11.off the boil a little bit in this set. After the dominant player of

:43:12. > :43:18.the first 2-mac, a few unforced errors creeping in.

:43:19. > :43:26.That old cliche, it is the difference between best of three and

:43:27. > :43:45.best of five sets. Which they only do at the Majors and Davis Cup.

:43:46. > :43:59.Another illustration of how he stays down, so low along the backhand. A

:44:00. > :44:10.low ball, mid-court. There was a stray ball. Which

:44:11. > :44:40.Dimitrov had noticed. done an awful lot wrong. There have

:44:41. > :44:42.been a few points when he has been up on his serve.

:44:43. > :44:55.done an awful lot wrong. There have been a few points when he -- Luke

:44:56. > :45:03.Saville. The worst time he lost his serve is when he was 30-0 up. -- the

:45:04. > :46:31.first time. He has thrown in a serve and volley

:46:32. > :46:38.every now and then and that was a lovely backhand volley. He has done

:46:39. > :47:14.pretty well behind it. Only two thirds of the points.

:47:15. > :47:23.It is one of those things to be aware of and obviously in an arena

:47:24. > :47:27.like this, but the first time, it is easy to be distracted. We have

:47:28. > :47:40.played to 21 games and he has only served and volleyed a few times.

:47:41. > :47:48.That took courage. That is coming in on the second serve at break point

:47:49. > :48:53.down. Well played! He saved three break

:48:54. > :49:00.points. SUE BARKER: a brave holed from looks Apple. We will go back to

:49:01. > :49:07.Centre Court in a few moments. -- from looks Apple. But let's take a

:49:08. > :49:51.look at what is going on on the other courts.

:49:52. > :49:57.Coming up next on Centre Court, will be this man, Novak Djokovic should.

:49:58. > :50:05.He has been in impressive form. He is the favourite for the title. He

:50:06. > :50:12.is up against Radek Stepanek. That could be a tricky match. That is

:50:13. > :50:21.next on Centre Court. COMMENTATOR: Grigor Dimitrov leading

:50:22. > :50:45.two sets to love. UMPIRE: Luke Saville is challenging

:50:46. > :51:11.the call. A very good use of Hawk-Eye but he

:51:12. > :51:14.would be disappointed that he did not get the opportunity to play the

:51:15. > :51:26.next point because he had set it up very well.

:51:27. > :51:37.It is funny. Covering a tournament that does not have Hawk-Eye, it just

:51:38. > :51:41.does not seem right. It adds to the atmosphere of a match. The crowd

:51:42. > :52:20.gets involved. does not see too many of those kind

:52:21. > :53:07.does not see too many of those kind It is funny. You see a rally of that

:53:08. > :53:12.quality and you realise that there is a man ranked 236

:53:13. > :53:13.quality and you realise that there just goes to show what tremendous

:53:14. > :53:32.talent there is out here. That is correct. You see the level

:53:33. > :53:36.that he is capable of playing, he has a great service motion. The

:53:37. > :53:50.question of doing it a point after point comes into play.

:53:51. > :53:59.And not playing shots like that one! He was not trying to hit a winner.

:54:00. > :55:46.Those are the shots that the best players did not miss.

:55:47. > :55:54.behind. That is the sort of response you expect from a top player. He has

:55:55. > :56:21.saved three rate points in his last service game. -- three break points.

:56:22. > :56:29.That was a very clever shot. He knew he was under pressure and he chipped

:56:30. > :56:32.that act across the court. Luke Saville just needed to take his time

:56:33. > :56:34.and if he could have dropped that over the net, it would have in

:56:35. > :56:54.wonderful. -- been wonderful. Just that hint of frustration. By

:56:55. > :57:01.Rick points he has had in the last two service games and none of them

:57:02. > :57:34.converted. His opponent can almost see the finish line.

:57:35. > :57:55.Just the third double fault of the match from Luke Saville and bad

:57:56. > :58:01.surely handed the match to his opponent. Do you think this man is

:58:02. > :58:08.ready to make the huge breakthrough and challenge for the top four spot

:58:09. > :58:14.in the world? It is still a work in progress. The top players are very

:58:15. > :58:18.dominant and I'd put Andy Murray in that equation. I do not think it

:58:19. > :58:24.will be too long but I do not think it will be this year. He is doing a

:58:25. > :58:29.lot of good things with his game. He has done a lot of good work on the

:58:30. > :58:34.court and off the court as well. But I think he will have to serve a

:58:35. > :58:40.little bit more time before he is ready to break into the top four

:58:41. > :58:43.seeds in the world. It is interesting. I think back to Boris

:58:44. > :58:51.Becker and he won when he was 17 years old. The age profile of the

:58:52. > :58:55.game has changed. The average age of the top 100 players is 28.

:58:56. > :59:02.game has changed. The average age of correct. There are 30 four men in

:59:03. > :59:07.the draw aged over 30. That is amazing. I don't think any of us

:59:08. > :59:11.would have predicted that. It is to do with the way the game has

:59:12. > :59:17.changed. There is more play from the baseline. Less serving and bullying.

:59:18. > :59:21.I do not know further that was harder on the body. Maybe the

:59:22. > :59:32.training tech pigs are better. Players are playing longer. --

:59:33. > :00:48.training technique. The ace count reaches double figures.

:00:49. > :00:57.Luke Saville was trying the same shot here, to place the ball at the

:00:58. > :01:06.feet of his opponent. But he played at very high. His opponent had time

:01:07. > :01:22.to closing. UMPIRE: new balls, please.

:01:23. > :01:37.White back it might be a good set of balls to buy. -- it might be a good

:01:38. > :01:39.set of all is to buy. Grigor Dimitrov is going for a freshly

:01:40. > :02:43.strong racket. That is a great shot. A one-handed

:02:44. > :02:47.backhand. That is a great shot. A one-handed

:02:48. > :03:14.the serve. That ball found the line and it just

:03:15. > :03:21.skidded on. It is more where the servers have been playing. The grass

:03:22. > :03:39.gets very warm. That ball accelerated through.

:03:40. > :03:48.I like the way he looked back over his shoulder as if to say how

:03:49. > :03:50.I like the way he looked back over you get to that shop? This is what

:03:51. > :04:05.it is going to be like if you make it to the top.

:04:06. > :04:12.He is doing a good job, trying to hang in there. He wants to try to

:04:13. > :04:59.make his opponent served just one more game.

:05:00. > :05:04.He is savouring his time on Centre Court and who wouldn't? This is a

:05:05. > :05:10.famous old arena. He has contributed quite a lot to a very enjoyable

:05:11. > :05:15.match. He has done very well. He has played some good tennis. The bottom

:05:16. > :05:22.line is his opponent has produced long spells of better tennis. That

:05:23. > :05:36.is obviously highlighted by their respective rankings. Grigor Dimitrov

:05:37. > :05:43.is ranked 30. It is a gulf in class. Grigor Dimitrov will serve next. It

:05:44. > :05:50.will be his worst time in the word round of Wimbledon. That is a mark

:05:51. > :05:58.of the progress that he has made. He started last year ranked 48th in the

:05:59. > :06:07.world and entered it ranked 23. He is now ranked 13. Surely he will be

:06:08. > :06:12.ranked in the top ten very soon? It will be interesting to see if he can

:06:13. > :06:14.push through into the top ten and the top eight and make the World

:06:15. > :07:09.Tour Finals. That would be nice. These forehand shots are just

:07:10. > :07:26.colossal. 96 miles an hour, that last forehand

:07:27. > :07:48.shot. UMPIRE: the ball is being

:07:49. > :08:38.challenged, that all was called in. COMMENTATOR: three match points.

:08:39. > :09:02.UMPIRE: game, set, match Grigor Dimitrov. Three sets to love.

:09:03. > :09:13.That was a job that was very well done. Yes, he played a lower ranked

:09:14. > :09:19.player. But I any standards, that was a formance of real quality. It

:09:20. > :09:24.certainly was. It carries on from where he left off at Queen's Club.

:09:25. > :09:31.That was a really professional performance. He gave very little

:09:32. > :09:36.away on his serve. He looked very confident and comfortable out there.

:09:37. > :09:42.He was aggressive from the baseline and dominated but that forehand of

:09:43. > :09:48.his. He moved very well. He and his coach will be very pleased with that

:09:49. > :10:00.performance. I always look forward to next Monday. That is when the

:10:01. > :10:03.last 16 comes through. I cannot help feeling that it Grigor Dimitrov is

:10:04. > :10:11.still there, that will be interesting. It will. I am sure he

:10:12. > :10:16.is going to be around for many more years to come and that is only a

:10:17. > :10:20.good thing for the game of tennis. I like the fact that more and more

:10:21. > :10:26.players are going off the court together this year. That brings back

:10:27. > :10:38.a lot of old memories and harks back to the old traditions. You think

:10:39. > :10:43.back to all of the old Australian players who have done so well on

:10:44. > :10:48.this court over the years. This young man has every chance. We will

:10:49. > :10:56.definitely see him at Wimbledon again. He can reflect on a very good

:10:57. > :11:00.last ten days. He came through qualifying, he has experienced

:11:01. > :11:04.Centre Court. He will go away motivated and ready to start getting

:11:05. > :11:09.accepted into these tournament is and not worrying about qualifying

:11:10. > :11:18.any more. It is a big step up for him in terms of ranking and in terms

:11:19. > :11:25.of prize-money. Grigor Dimitrov is looking towards the highest points

:11:26. > :11:32.of the game. He wants to qualify for the ATP finals in London at the end

:11:33. > :11:39.of the year. If I was allowed to bed, and we are not, I think I might

:11:40. > :11:47.put some money on him! -- allowed to bet some money. He plays very well

:11:48. > :12:04.on every surface and that is a great advantage and very important.

:12:05. > :12:17.Let's just confirmed that scoreline. That match lasted just around 90

:12:18. > :12:26.minutes. He talks now to Gary Richardson.

:12:27. > :12:35.That was an excellent match. How did it feel? I was extremely happy

:12:36. > :12:44.coming onto the court and I am confident at the moment. Today was a

:12:45. > :12:48.great day and I just wanted to enjoy my time on the court and produce

:12:49. > :12:52.some good tennis. You showed you were enjoying it. You are

:12:53. > :12:59.flamboyant, you clearly loved being out there. I did indeed. You do not

:13:00. > :13:04.get the chance to go on a court like that every day. I was just trying to

:13:05. > :13:12.be compact and played the right shot at the right time. My opponent was

:13:13. > :13:22.very tricky, and he came from the qualifying rounds. How close do you

:13:23. > :13:29.think you are on playing at the very top of your game? At the moment, I

:13:30. > :13:33.am just playing every match. Every day there is a different opponent, a

:13:34. > :13:39.different game plan. When you play against the top players, you need to

:13:40. > :13:44.react very fast and you must show your best here. How much of a

:13:45. > :13:49.landmark is it for you getting through to the state of the

:13:50. > :13:52.competition? I always wanted to do that and I always wanted to play

:13:53. > :13:57.well on grass. I love being out here. Step-by-step, I am achieving

:13:58. > :14:02.some of my goals and some of the things that I want, but I am not

:14:03. > :14:05.done yet. Congratulations. South Leeds Independence Centre Rob he is

:14:06. > :14:17.firmly on his way. -- SUE BARKER: Leeds Independence Centre Rob he is

:14:18. > :14:25.is firmly on his way. He will meet engine and their corner next. --

:14:26. > :14:29.Benjamin Becker next. That will be a great match. Let's tell you what has

:14:30. > :15:12.been happening elsewhere. No problems for Li Na, the

:15:13. > :15:20.Australian Open champion, she came through in straight sets, 6-2, X-2.

:15:21. > :15:30.-- 6-2. Never got past the quarterfinals here. Comfortably

:15:31. > :15:40.through to round three. Stakhovsky has put out a seed again. He put out

:15:41. > :15:46.Federer last year. He was asked to compare this match to that one and

:15:47. > :15:49.he said, not only close. He was not that impressed but we certainly

:15:50. > :15:58.were. Another tremendous performance from Stakhovsky. Disappointment for

:15:59. > :16:03.Britain's Tara Moore. She lost 7-5 a year ago in the opening round and

:16:04. > :16:21.today, she went out 9-7 in the third to reserve one a raver --

:16:22. > :16:26.Zvonareva. Andy Murray is through. He lost two games making it his most

:16:27. > :16:34.combines a victory ever in terms of games lost. He only lost one game at

:16:35. > :16:41.the Australian Open in 2007. He was only on court for one hour and 24

:16:42. > :16:44.minutes and the crowd loved it. A very impressive performance from

:16:45. > :16:48.Andy Murray and someone who knows him well, his former coach, Mark

:16:49. > :16:54.Petchey, that was quite a performance. I think everybody felt

:16:55. > :17:01.he was going to come in there with all guns

:17:02. > :17:12.I was very impressed when he played Goffin. It is probably the best I

:17:13. > :17:15.have seen him strike it all year. Everyone talking about the drawers,

:17:16. > :17:21.and how it has really worked for him, saying Goffin and then playing

:17:22. > :17:27.a player ranked 92 in the world. But he still has to win the matches and

:17:28. > :17:30.none of them are ever easy. The one thing he has done exceptionally well

:17:31. > :17:35.in this tournament so far is serve well and when you have the tools

:17:36. > :17:38.that he has, you can unlock your opponent, and if you are serving

:17:39. > :17:44.well, the pressure on your opponent is immense. I was chatting to his

:17:45. > :17:48.team earlier today. He looks relaxed and he looks like he is hitting the

:17:49. > :17:52.ball and you can always get a sense within the camp, when they feel his

:17:53. > :17:56.chances of winning a tournament great and they all feel the year has

:17:57. > :18:00.been difficult in tens of coming back from back surgery in September.

:18:01. > :18:09.Andy Murray expects a lot of himself. This is a tournament that

:18:10. > :18:13.he loves playing in. Grass is arguably his best surface and he has

:18:14. > :18:17.hit the ground running here. People will be looking at those results,

:18:18. > :18:22.yes you cannot win the tournament in those first two matches but he will

:18:23. > :18:25.have impressed everyone. We are feeling more relaxed. I think all of

:18:26. > :18:29.that intense pressure from last year has gone because he has now won the

:18:30. > :18:35.title and we can all move on, including Andy! Let's talk a little

:18:36. > :18:42.bit about the backhand. It has been such an impressive shot for him and

:18:43. > :18:46.such a weapon. It is the variety that comes with his backhand. You

:18:47. > :18:51.see him flashing one crosscourt here. You could put him to sleep for

:18:52. > :18:56.tenures and he would come out and hit that backhand out of the middle

:18:57. > :19:02.of the racket. It is so flat. I watched him last year from the side

:19:03. > :19:06.and you can see the trajectory, the way he produces his backhand. Novak

:19:07. > :19:11.Djokovic put a lot more spin on the ball. It comes up- his opponent.

:19:12. > :19:15.Andy Murray has an incredible ability to get it flat and still get

:19:16. > :19:18.the ball to stay download. Coupled with movement, it is an outrageous

:19:19. > :19:24.shot that is almost impossible to defend against. This year, he was

:19:25. > :19:28.doing a lot more of that way he was a good two metres inside the

:19:29. > :19:31.baseline, utilising the short backswing and taking on the second

:19:32. > :19:41.serve of his opponents. By back and it is so difficult to read. Yes, you

:19:42. > :19:46.have so little time to see it. The string pattern in these rackets can

:19:47. > :19:50.all change. He has gone to the racket he played with in 2008 which

:19:51. > :19:57.is in much denser pattern and it allows, I think, U2 hit the ball

:19:58. > :20:03.flat and give it more control. Andy has taken a bit of spin off the ball

:20:04. > :20:06.since Miami. When you watch him play out here, with the slightly heavier

:20:07. > :20:12.balls, Gulbis was complaining a little that the ball does not take

:20:13. > :20:17.the bin. You do not want spin. We have seen it with Andy, particularly

:20:18. > :20:22.with the ground strokes, it is getting it through the court. It is

:20:23. > :20:30.why he fired me, because I did not understand it! Ivan Lendl has gone

:20:31. > :20:35.as well. I have something in common with him! He gave him the confidence

:20:36. > :20:41.to be aggressive and come forward and he seems to be doing that. This

:20:42. > :20:45.has been quite a nice and easy transition for Amelie Mauresmo

:20:46. > :20:49.hasn't it? There is not a great deal she can change now heading into

:20:50. > :20:55.Queen's. She is therefore a psychological boost, he is defending

:20:56. > :21:02.this title. He was probably more nervous coming into this and he was

:21:03. > :21:06.for the final last year. She is wise. I worked with her two years

:21:07. > :21:11.ago at the French Open and she has a great take on tennis. She is so

:21:12. > :21:14.mature up with her outlook on life. As Andy Mitchell was in age, he is

:21:15. > :21:20.looking for something different. I feel as if he has got that with

:21:21. > :21:24.Amelie Mauresmo at Wimbledon regardless of whether he goes on to

:21:25. > :21:32.win it. You feel that a lot of the major decisions are made by Danny

:21:33. > :21:34.but when it gets towards the end of the tournament, Amelie Mauresmo will

:21:35. > :21:42.come in because that is where it Danny has not had experience. When

:21:43. > :21:46.Andy got past my best ever ranking and he did that very quickly, you

:21:47. > :21:50.want to have a conversation with somebody, this is how I am feeling.

:21:51. > :21:55.Whether it is quarterfinals or semifinals or whatever. Danny does

:21:56. > :21:59.an amazing amount of work and I don't think you get enough credit

:22:00. > :22:05.for it. But Andy will be looking for advice that Danny, having not been

:22:06. > :22:09.in that situation, could not give. That is why it Amelie Mauresmo is

:22:10. > :22:13.here and given away Andy has played in the opening couple of rounds, I

:22:14. > :22:20.expect her voice and experience will be needed. The draw will get a lot

:22:21. > :22:24.tougher. Not necessarily in the next round, possibly up against the

:22:25. > :22:41.players out on court 18. Bautista Agut Agut showed some great

:22:42. > :22:52.quality on grass a couple of weeks ago.

:22:53. > :22:57.He has played well and he is somebody that is very different from

:22:58. > :23:03.the normal Spanish type of player. He is a little spiky. You will not

:23:04. > :23:10.go out there and be intimidated but Kevin Anderson, for me, is more the

:23:11. > :23:15.wildcard than Fabio Fognini. What about Grigor Dimitrov? Wonderful at

:23:16. > :23:24.Queen's Club and he has brought that form through here. He hired Roger

:23:25. > :23:30.wish she'd just a week before he won his first title in Stockholm. Roger

:23:31. > :23:33.is a great coach with a great work ethic and when you hire him, you are

:23:34. > :23:42.buying into the ethic of working hard. Dimitrov had cramping, felt

:23:43. > :23:47.like he was working hard, try to get to the bottom of it. The fitness and

:23:48. > :23:57.strength has been a big part of it. This game is about small business --

:23:58. > :24:02.percentages. When you start holding serve with his serve as well as it

:24:03. > :24:05.does, it takes a bit of pressure of the returning game which is why we

:24:06. > :24:11.have seen him collect titles on all three different surfaces this year.

:24:12. > :24:12.We asked Roger at Queen 's weight Dimitrov was fitness wise and he

:24:13. > :24:33.said, only 25%. Roger believes in hard work and he

:24:34. > :24:37.gets guys in the top ten. We are up next with Novak Djokovic on Centre

:24:38. > :24:42.Court. The Centre Court crowd certainly enjoying this one. Up

:24:43. > :24:49.against Radek Stepanek. This was a short time ago. He is the top seed,

:24:50. > :24:53.the bookies's favourite and he was in all some form in his opening

:24:54. > :24:55.round. Up against a tricky opponent, 35 years of age but he knows how to

:24:56. > :25:00.play on the big occasion. He beat 35 years of age but he knows how to

:25:01. > :25:03.Andy Murray at Queen's. We will 35 years of age but he knows how to

:25:04. > :25:08.keeping an eye on this one and 35 years of age but he knows how to

:25:09. > :25:18.will be talking about coaches, this man has Boris Becker. Let's hear

:25:19. > :25:25.from him. BORIS BECKER: a year ago, -- we have a good time. We have been

:25:26. > :25:29.working together for over six months and he is a wonderful guy and a

:25:30. > :25:34.wonderful player. What sort of things do you bring to his game

:25:35. > :25:43.because he is such a top player. I am not in titled... I would not

:25:44. > :25:53.speak about that, he has a great team around him. His physio, myself,

:25:54. > :25:57.we all try to make him play better. Roger Federer said at the weekend

:25:58. > :26:01.with Stefan Edberg, it is not where it Stefan Edberg is saying, this is

:26:02. > :26:06.how you hit a forehand, because he knows how to do that, it is often

:26:07. > :26:10.the mental aspect. Offering advice before a big match. Because you have

:26:11. > :26:18.experienced the very best moments of Wimbledon. I don't think we can tell

:26:19. > :26:21.Djokovic or Federer things about form, they can do that themselves.

:26:22. > :26:27.But there are many areas, every top vessel needs help. I like to think I

:26:28. > :26:33.know a thing or two about the game, especially on grass. It is about the

:26:34. > :26:40.player at the end of the day, whether they can perform and

:26:41. > :26:43.deliver. We are just a sideshow. Sitting on Centre Court, is it nice

:26:44. > :26:54.to have that feeling you are involved, it is not playing but it

:26:55. > :27:01.is as close as you will get? Going from playing, holding the Wimbledon

:27:02. > :27:11.title in my hands, to commentary, and I miss it. I am happy I can

:27:12. > :27:14.speak to hear. -- speak to you here. It is a pleasure to work with a guy

:27:15. > :27:21.like Djokovic you is a great student of the game. You were a great

:27:22. > :27:25.champion. People will always remind you, second-round match and upsets

:27:26. > :27:31.can happen but you would not expect one today? Stepanek is a very

:27:32. > :27:39.accomplished grasscourt player. Today will be a tough match. Thank

:27:40. > :27:45.you Boris. SUE BARKER: we certainly miss him in the BBC commentary box.

:27:46. > :27:50.Has he been brought in because Novak is getting a bit twitchy about these

:27:51. > :27:55.Grand Slam finals? He has only won one of the last six. It has been

:27:56. > :28:00.tough for him. You can overcome placate things. Look at the way Del

:28:01. > :28:05.Potro played against him in the semifinal. That took a little bit

:28:06. > :28:13.out of him. The same could be argued in New York.

:28:14. > :28:24.There is a journey through this draw that sometimes these to be navigated

:28:25. > :28:30.as carefully as possible. This is what Boris is here for, those

:28:31. > :28:32.moments. I expect to see Novak in the back end of the second week and

:28:33. > :28:38.that is where Boris will come in. the back end of the second week and

:28:39. > :28:40.Many people would be happy to get to five Grand Slam finals but when he

:28:41. > :28:48.was so dominant, it was not good enough for him. It is the way people

:28:49. > :28:50.measure Roger Federer. He has hit so much higher than the normal heights

:28:51. > :29:01.for most people. Djokovic will be talked about in the

:29:02. > :29:05.same conversations as Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer in terms of Grand

:29:06. > :29:08.Slams. Who knows, you could go on and win many more. We are ready for

:29:09. > :29:35.this one. A tricky opponent. COMMENTATOR: The number one seed is

:29:36. > :29:45.taking his time while his opponent is getting ready. It is always good

:29:46. > :29:51.to be sitting beside you, I must reiterate that. This is intriguing

:29:52. > :29:56.potentially. Upset, highly doubtful, you could certainly see Stepanek

:29:57. > :30:03.making things cloudy and unpredictable for Djokovic. Maybe a

:30:04. > :30:05.set, possibly two sets. But at this stage, late in his career, 35, to go

:30:06. > :30:28.all the way, I do not see that. The number one seed will open this

:30:29. > :30:35.second-round match. A cell phone going off, that is annoying. At

:30:36. > :30:41.least it was before the first point, it does not see to have affected

:30:42. > :30:47.him. Stepanek with the quick challenge. Get the cell phone out of

:30:48. > :30:52.the way, we have a challenge, first serve. It is barely in but that is

:30:53. > :31:20.all it needs. You could not blame Stepanek for

:31:21. > :31:23.thinking, maybe it will not be my day, with a start like that. Let's

:31:24. > :31:34.hope years not thinking that already! Djokovic challenged!

:31:35. > :31:45.LAUGHTER B side linesman is being tested

:31:46. > :31:50.immediately! And that is in. This poor man having to make some tough,

:31:51. > :32:15.quick decisions. A couple of close calls, one out of two.

:32:16. > :32:26.Boris Becker is up there, there he is. A great champion, six time

:32:27. > :32:30.Slam, seven time Wimbledon finalist. Was he the last man to lose in the

:32:31. > :32:37.second round as number one seed? I am just glad he is not watching on

:32:38. > :32:41.TV, listening to us! He won it twice already, 17 and 18 years old. And he

:32:42. > :32:45.put the whole thing in perspective having lost that game. He said there

:32:46. > :32:55.was no war, no battle, I just lost a Test match -- tennis match.

:32:56. > :33:05.Novak hoping to add that 2%, maybe a little more, to get him over the

:33:06. > :33:14.hump and win some more Slams. And making more history. Stepanek seems

:33:15. > :33:23.to have turned his ankle a little bit. We will see if we can catch a

:33:24. > :33:28.replay. He comes in... He turned it a little bit. That hurts, it looked

:33:29. > :33:35.like he went with it, it should not be too bad, but at 35, you have

:33:36. > :33:40.already lost half a step and you don't want to lose any more.

:33:41. > :34:26.Good start for the man from the Czech Republic. Not too much weight

:34:27. > :34:32.on the toe. When he tried to throw himself down. I think adrenaline

:34:33. > :34:36.will come into play and it should be not too much of an issue, he has

:34:37. > :35:29.problems already. But that does not help.

:35:30. > :35:33.Novak Djokovic comfortable moving forward. Better

:35:34. > :35:38.and better volleys as his career has comfortable moving forward. Better

:35:39. > :35:57.moved along. It is not easy to do. Usually when the court is dry, it is

:35:58. > :36:04.less slippery, both players struggling early in this match. It

:36:05. > :36:10.is still green behind the brown spots.

:36:11. > :36:27.He thought about it and I think you may well have had a case.

:36:28. > :36:32.I am not going to ask you your age, Barry, I refuse to do that! That was

:36:33. > :36:52.the far line. Come on now. Stepanek will look to do that

:36:53. > :36:56.throughout the match, take the ball on early. The ball jumps up and he

:36:57. > :37:24.will move forward. Nicely done. Djokovic could have

:37:25. > :37:29.stopped that point. He is complaining about the call on the

:37:30. > :37:36.sideline, that guy is having a tough time over their! Eagled the ball was

:37:37. > :37:48.wide. -- he thought the ball was wide.

:37:49. > :38:25.SUE BARKER: while the players change ends, let's tell you what has been

:38:26. > :38:34.happening elsewhere. Fabio Fognini, 60th seed of Italy is 3-1 in four

:38:35. > :38:44.sets against Tim Puetz of Germany and he will next face Kevin

:38:45. > :38:50.Anderson. Leonardo Mayer here at match point against Marcos

:38:51. > :38:56.Baghdatis. He has won back it in four set -- he has won it. He

:38:57. > :38:57.Baghdatis. He has won back it in face either David Ferrer or Andrey

:38:58. > :39:13.Kuznetsov. David Ferrer has come back fighting

:39:14. > :39:29.in the third set. It is live on BBC Two. Tomas Berdych, former finalist

:39:30. > :40:16.here, a break of set town. SmackDown. --

:40:17. > :40:28.You would assume the longer the rally, the better the chance for

:40:29. > :40:31.Djokovic. Exactly the type of exchanges he would like to be in

:40:32. > :42:29.with Stepanek. Stepanek, so far doing a good job

:42:30. > :42:34.mixing up the pace of his serve with variety as well as the spin. He

:42:35. > :42:37.needs to do that. Critical. Against a guy who to me, is the best return

:42:38. > :43:09.I have ever seen. 1987, it was, when he lost that

:43:10. > :43:22.second-round match. Only one to do so as number one seed.

:43:23. > :43:38.Stepanek much preferring to hit a flatter ball, trying to make an

:43:39. > :43:58.impact and get the ball to go through the court.

:43:59. > :44:03.That is the one two, three punch. Beautiful serve. Excellent approach.

:44:04. > :44:06.That is the one two, three punch. It makes this ball nice and easy,

:44:07. > :45:15.easy. form of his opening round match. It

:45:16. > :45:23.was an absolute breeze for him. He had not had much practice on grass.

:45:24. > :45:28.He chose consciously to make the same decision that I remembered this

:45:29. > :45:35.guide Bjorn Borg making. He was not too bad a player. Bjorn Borg did it

:45:36. > :45:44.five times in a row, not playing any warm up event. Sometimes you need to

:45:45. > :45:55.get away. Is devastating to strong a word? Losing in a final to Rafael

:45:56. > :46:00.Nadal. A nine time winner of the French Open out of ten. I thought

:46:01. > :46:07.the results of Bjorn Borg more incredible, he won six out of eight.

:46:08. > :46:12.the results of Bjorn Borg more They are the two greatest ever, on

:46:13. > :46:16.clay. To make that turnaround, finally, next year, after all these

:46:17. > :46:25.years, there will be an extra week for a turnaround. He has the chance

:46:26. > :46:31.to do allsorts of things and forget about tennis and come back here with

:46:32. > :46:32.a fresh perspective. That is his wife to be. She is pregnant with

:46:33. > :46:37.their first child. wife to be. She is pregnant with

:46:38. > :47:26.are going to see more and to do with. Do you go that extra

:47:27. > :47:29.gear? Do you have the guts to take something of it? Do you try to fool

:47:30. > :47:59.him? The fact that Novak Djokovic witch

:48:00. > :48:07.hung in there as long as he did gives you a pretty good idea of how

:48:08. > :48:28.athletic he is. -- Novak Djokovic should. I think you see already how

:48:29. > :48:35.good a volleyer Radek Stepanek actually is. He won both those

:48:36. > :49:21.points just to get back to 30-30. He is looking hard at that. But he

:49:22. > :50:22.is leaving it at that. For the second time in this game

:50:23. > :50:31.Novak Djokovic should a rates himself. -- bill rates himself. He

:50:32. > :50:39.would see it as making three mistakes in this game. But the

:50:40. > :50:54.player from the Czech Republic deserved this game.

:50:55. > :51:00.The games will be hard-fought in this match. He needs to get some

:51:01. > :51:17.games on the scoreboard if he is to have any chance.

:51:18. > :51:37.You can see that Novak Djokovic should is wound up tight in this

:51:38. > :51:41.match. Radek Stepanek took a set in their last meeting at Wimbledon.

:51:42. > :52:21.That was a couple of years back. That shows some excellent

:52:22. > :52:25.improvisational skills. The ball is behind him. He did not have a lot of

:52:26. > :53:03.choice at that point but that was very well done.

:53:04. > :53:21.Yes! As you said, old-fashioned. You certainly do not see much of this

:53:22. > :53:27.any more. Chip and charge. He has a flair for the dramatic. No doubt

:53:28. > :53:36.about it. He is playing games with the head of his opponent. That will

:53:37. > :53:45.get under his skin. That is another almost certain and shot that Novak

:53:46. > :54:47.Djokavic has missed. He is unsettled early in this match.

:54:48. > :54:57.quite a bit for his team to think about. I do not think they would

:54:58. > :55:02.have expected it. But his opponent is throwing everything that he can

:55:03. > :55:05.at him. We knew that this was the way this match would go. He has

:55:06. > :55:18.eight good team assembled around him. He is coached from long

:55:19. > :55:41.distance by Peter Korda. He does not travel with him that much. -- he has

:55:42. > :55:44.a good team. That is his team there. I am having difficulty with the

:55:45. > :55:53.pronunciation! Can you help me, Barry? We are going to work on

:55:54. > :55:59.verifying this! We must make sure we are talking about the right table.

:56:00. > :56:04.Radek Stepanek is not really a guy that you need to coach. He marches

:56:05. > :56:17.to the beat of his own drum. -- the right people.

:56:18. > :56:47.It is nice to see the Duchess of Cornwall coming out and enjoying her

:56:48. > :56:49.afternoon in the sun. You Americans are all the same! You adore are

:56:50. > :56:50.Royal Family. So do we, are all the same! You adore are

:56:51. > :57:22.think of it. Easy does it, then he pounces. That

:57:23. > :57:37.is the type Easy does it, then he pounces. That

:57:38. > :57:47.improved that aspect of his game. He has excellent hands.

:57:48. > :58:00.That was unlucky. That is where being at the age of 35 comes into

:58:01. > :58:46.play. He should have let backdrop. -- let that drop.

:58:47. > :58:49.The bigger head of steam that you get going, the harder it is to slug

:58:50. > :59:13.-- to stop. Frustration is building for Novak

:59:14. > :59:55.Djokovic. He may be aged 35 but he is playing

:59:56. > :00:03.tremendously well. That was another tremendously hard shop. He plays a

:00:04. > :00:04.lot of tennis doubles. It keeps you very sharp and precise with your

:00:05. > :00:38.play at the net. -- a hard shot. He gives Novak Djokovic a taste of

:00:39. > :01:13.his own medicine. He has got him a little bit out of

:01:14. > :01:19.his comforts on because Novak Djokovic went 410 miles an hour

:01:20. > :01:52.second serve. That is risky. -- for a 110 miles an hour.

:01:53. > :02:02.That was a well-deserved lap of honour. The crowd is loving this.

:02:03. > :02:12.First of all, look at the shot he plays here. This part was even

:02:13. > :02:13.better. It is annoying for Novak Djokovic but very entertaining for

:02:14. > :02:43.this crowd. What a game from the man from the

:02:44. > :04:02.Czech Republic. Two break points. He has earned them.

:04:03. > :04:50.White back a fitting response from a champion.

:04:51. > :06:04.Slightly indecisive there. He thought about it a little too long.

:06:05. > :06:10.when he played a first round match. There was all types of things going

:06:11. > :06:18.on in the match. I went to see him in the locker room. I said this guy

:06:19. > :06:24.is really flexible. And it turns out, even at a young age, as a

:06:25. > :06:25.teenager, he spent a tremendous amount of time working on his

:06:26. > :06:30.flexibility, amount of time working on his

:06:31. > :06:37.play shots like this. Look at what he can do on a grass court. He is

:06:38. > :06:43.sliding. He relies on the back that he can get down nice and low to the

:06:44. > :06:44.Bob and then he pushes from his right foot to get back into the

:06:45. > :06:55.court. He uses that to right foot to get back into the

:06:56. > :06:59.advantage. It is a really wonderful thing to be able to do and he makes

:07:00. > :07:07.it look very easy. But trust me, it is not. Sir Clive Woodward. The

:07:08. > :07:12.other thing he has done the is not. Sir Clive Woodward. The

:07:13. > :07:25.years is improve his serve. Right now, he has hit 28 out of his 35

:07:26. > :07:33.first serves. Still, he was almost broken. He had watch out now. --

:07:34. > :10:18.veteran watch out now. The truth is that Novak Djokovic got

:10:19. > :10:25.through a tight moment and he was able to relax a little. His opponent

:10:26. > :11:23.has thrown everything at him. Now you look up, it is double set point.

:11:24. > :11:40.That was a great shot. A spectacular shot. He said this set, right there.

:11:41. > :11:42.-- he saved. That was tremendously impressive, what he did with that

:11:43. > :12:45.shot. He has taken matters into his own

:12:46. > :13:32.hands. Another set point chance. His girlfriend is on her feet. It is

:13:33. > :13:39.a classic advert from the champion. -- effort. First he took advantage

:13:40. > :13:44.of the indecisiveness of his opponent, then he says I will not

:13:45. > :13:54.take a huge risk and let him miss a Bali, but I will make him come up

:13:55. > :14:00.with something special and he did. Then he steps set up another gear.

:14:01. > :14:04.Then he says I am not even going to let this guy touched the wall and he

:14:05. > :14:09.goes right down the line with a beautiful winner. Radek Stepanek did

:14:10. > :14:20.not know where that return was coming. He fought well but Novak

:14:21. > :14:32.Djokovic found a way. That is a very quick way to win a set. This is the

:14:33. > :14:37.summary of the set that you can see. Radek Stepanek coming into the net

:14:38. > :14:45.twice as often. How quickly things change. That will take something out

:14:46. > :14:52.of him, both physically and mentally.

:14:53. > :15:06.UMPIRE: second set, Novak Djokovic to serve.

:15:07. > :15:08.That was a well played set by Radek Stepanek. Unfortunately, he does not

:15:09. > :15:43.have much to show for it at the moment.

:15:44. > :16:07.I think in his spare time, he is a comedian in the Czech Republic! He

:16:08. > :16:10.loves to ham it up. It does not make you the most popular guy in the

:16:11. > :16:39.locker room but he is sure fun to watch.

:16:40. > :16:47.If that ball was in, it was not in buying match, which is why Stepanek

:16:48. > :16:50.is taking another look. It is the first game though, momentum has

:16:51. > :17:08.swung away from him, to the number one seed.

:17:09. > :17:17.Very different game, comfortable all the way through for the number one

:17:18. > :17:26.seed. Needs a bit of recharging. Does Stepanek. His 46th Major, 12

:17:27. > :17:32.time at Wimbledon. He was once as high as eight in the world. When he

:17:33. > :17:34.got to the quarterfinal here which is his best performance in any of

:17:35. > :17:56.APPLAUSE the Grand Slams. 2006.

:17:57. > :18:03.55 and 45 career Grand Slam record and now he will somehow have to

:18:04. > :18:13.figure out a way to play even better to keep it close.

:18:14. > :18:22.The most obvious way would be somehow serve even better than he

:18:23. > :19:17.has in the first set. Get that first serve percentage up.

:19:18. > :19:24.You do not see it too often these days but that's took a bad hop,

:19:25. > :19:27.right off the line, totally surprised Novak Djokovic. He barely

:19:28. > :19:35.made contact. that came out of the blue and was

:19:36. > :21:04.very successful. Boris Becker used to play games like

:21:05. > :21:09.this. Hit two or three aces again. Seven times a finalist here, one of

:21:10. > :21:14.the greatest servers in the history of our sport. Is that? -- whose

:21:15. > :22:01.challenge was that? Take a look here at this Hawk-eye.

:22:02. > :22:07.One of the things respect has really been working on is to try to make

:22:08. > :22:12.sure that Djokovic stands in as close to the baseline as often as

:22:13. > :22:16.possible. So if a short ball does come, ye is prepared and can take

:22:17. > :22:25.advantage of it, not get pushed back. Rely on his quickness and his

:22:26. > :22:29.ability to see what is coming and the use that incredible footwork of

:22:30. > :22:35.his to his advantage. Of all the things Boris Becker is trying to get

:22:36. > :22:40.Novak to see, take advantage of court position, the other thing,

:22:41. > :22:46.this could be a good example, it this match, get rid of these guys,

:22:47. > :22:50.don't get to the fourth, fifth set, save yourself so you have got a lot

:22:51. > :23:31.left in the tank when you really need it.

:23:32. > :23:39.He looks a little bemused. Did not read that at all. He thought it was

:23:40. > :24:54.out but he is not sure it was out because he did not stop playing.

:24:55. > :25:09.First double. Stepanek likes to volley. And if it is tough to read,

:25:10. > :25:10.it looks casual and opponents think he will miss more often than he

:25:11. > :25:24.does. Don't be formed if you are playing

:25:25. > :25:39.Radek Stepanek, he is excellent at the volley. -- don't be fooled.

:25:40. > :25:52.He is a guy like Bernard Tomic, who is playing on Court One. You don't

:25:53. > :26:01.really know what he is going to do. Sometimes he does not either!

:26:02. > :26:11.Exactly! It was corrected, Stepanek, intent on looking at this

:26:12. > :26:12.ball again. Satisfied it was in. Not doing well with the challenges

:26:13. > :26:31.today. This is incredible serving so far

:26:32. > :27:02.from Djokovic. He is not just spinning these serves in.

:27:03. > :27:05.I am disappointed he did not fake the overhead and go between the

:27:06. > :27:18.legs. That is what I saw coming. The man in the white is his fitness

:27:19. > :27:36.trainer, we found out. I must say, he must be doing a

:27:37. > :27:48.pretty good job because he is moving well at 35, still. He is obviously

:27:49. > :27:53.still loving to play the game. And he is the type of character we need

:27:54. > :27:55.to see on this circuit. Someone who brings something unique to our

:27:56. > :28:07.wonderful sport. The crowd is buzzing, they are

:28:08. > :28:11.enjoying this contrast of a guy who is at heart, maybe a

:28:12. > :28:16.counterpuncher, this man, who has learned to develop the attacking

:28:17. > :28:21.aspects of the game when necessary. Boris Becker was hired partly to get

:28:22. > :28:26.in his head, you wanted to dictate more. -- he wanted to dictate more.

:28:27. > :28:33.His wife to be, more. -- he wanted to dictate more.

:28:34. > :28:39.their first child, she has said, don't make me sit and watch this for

:28:40. > :28:42.too long! LAUGHTER There is a man who knows about

:28:43. > :28:54.concentration. Geoffrey Boycott. How long can Stepanek keep this up,

:28:55. > :30:00.that is the question. Boris would have been the type of

:30:01. > :30:01.player, but 11 surgeries later, tough for him to move around the

:30:02. > :30:19.court like Stepanek. He would be quietly impressed by

:30:20. > :30:21.Stepanek. And his volley. Happy to see someone who still does it. Watt

:30:22. > :31:01.and does it well. He is starting to use that slice

:31:02. > :31:02.more, which I like, he has got better at it. Set up that two

:31:03. > :31:23.candour. -- two hander. APPLAUSE

:31:24. > :32:39.UMPIRE: New balls please. and that is number ten. His serve

:32:40. > :32:49.has been spectacular. In this first hour or so.

:32:50. > :33:05.That is another one that looks like he caught the line.

:33:06. > :33:13.About two and a half laid! Kane when he is missing, he is barely missing.

:33:14. > :33:21.-- two and a half blades. This man has a lot of challenges.

:33:22. > :33:55.Stepanek. If you are going to go for a second

:33:56. > :34:54.serve ace... APPLAUSE

:34:55. > :34:59.This is the first time he may have thought, maybe I should not have

:35:00. > :35:03.gone for that second serve ace at 40-0, on second thought. He still

:35:04. > :35:26.should win the game. He is challenging again, he says he

:35:27. > :35:35.cannot keep it these lines. UMPIRE: The ball was called in. The umpire

:35:36. > :35:44.has got to get hold of this a little better. I am not sure that was the

:35:45. > :35:49.mark but I think what Novak is complaining about, justifiably so,

:35:50. > :35:58.is to not allow him to wait so long, getting this prolonged discussion. A

:35:59. > :36:14.little delay in the process. A feud deep breathing exercises! -- a few.

:36:15. > :36:29.All is well that ends well. UMPIRE: Stepanek has one challenge

:36:30. > :36:33.remaining. SUE BARKER: we will be straight back on Centre Court. If

:36:34. > :36:37.you are just getting home, good news for the reigning champion Andy

:36:38. > :36:43.Murray, he is safely through. Impressive on Monday and even more

:36:44. > :36:47.so today. He lost just two games. He goes through to the third round.

:36:48. > :36:49.Huge ovation from the reigning goes through to the third round.

:36:50. > :36:56.champion on Court One and the crowd loved the performance.

:36:57. > :37:06.He is through to the third round to face Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain.

:37:07. > :37:07.He is a tough customer. A proven performer on this surface. Seeded

:37:08. > :37:15.27. Andrey Kuznetsov has a break of

:37:16. > :38:12.serve. JOHN McENROE: it is the same spot as

:38:13. > :38:36.well, I think he has challenged about six times.

:38:37. > :38:48.UMPIRE: Mr Stepanek has no challenges remaining. It is fogging

:38:49. > :38:51.up a bit for Stepanek. Starting to slow down even though it is an hour

:38:52. > :38:57.in. The mind starts to play tricks on

:38:58. > :39:04.you. Tells you you are more tired The mind starts to play tricks on

:39:05. > :40:21.than you actually are. 35, do I need this any more? One last hurrah.

:40:22. > :40:40.Held that all that extra split-2nd here, it is a good volley. -- held

:40:41. > :41:01.that ball, that extra split second. This is the best caught in the

:41:02. > :41:09.world, he has got to make the most of it. -- this is the best court.

:41:10. > :41:28.I don't think next time, if there is one, Novak Djokovic should be quite

:41:29. > :41:35.so kind. Just guiding it up the line, Stepanek will stop -- Stepanek

:41:36. > :42:24.with a heck of a shot to win the point and get it home.

:42:25. > :43:50.Djokovic in plenty of time there. Nice little flick crosscourt.

:43:51. > :45:06.another set point. Some extremely solid play from ten one. It is

:45:07. > :45:11.totally commendable. He is making his opponents grumble. -- his

:45:12. > :46:07.opponent scramble. Novak Djokovic has a great team

:46:08. > :46:13.around him. They get him ready so he can show you the type of tennis that

:46:14. > :46:23.makes him such a great player. I would have had Rafael Nadal is the

:46:24. > :46:36.number one seed. UMPIRE: calling the trainer for Radek Stepanek. With a

:46:37. > :46:44.little mark on his knee. Something has got to be hurting. Remember that

:46:45. > :46:53.he hurt his ankle on the first game. He has a little cut on his knee.

:46:54. > :47:00.Give me a plaster. I do not need it, I am going to play without it! Let's

:47:01. > :47:09.take a quick look. Look at the second serve. This man is making

:47:10. > :47:16.life so difficult for his opponent. He must work exceptionally hard on

:47:17. > :47:21.his second serve. Novak Djokovic has continued to place immense pressure

:47:22. > :47:29.on his opponent. He moves forward Sarah and the but he moves forward

:47:30. > :47:37.then necessary. -- he moves forward only occasionally. He shows you the

:47:38. > :47:51.entire package. He can do absolutely anything. He knows what he has to do

:47:52. > :48:01.and he figures it all out. Here comes the trainer. Let's see what

:48:02. > :48:17.words of advice he has two opera. -- he has two give.

:48:18. > :48:25.It looks like it is about putting a bandage on his knee. That is why the

:48:26. > :48:38.precautionary rubber gloves are going on. This should be a pretty

:48:39. > :48:46.routine job. He is not going to have to dig too deep to figure out what

:48:47. > :48:47.is going on here. UMPIRE: Radek Stepanek is taking a medical time

:48:48. > :48:59.out. Here we can show you the direction

:49:00. > :49:12.of the serve from Novak Djokovic. Here we can show you the direction

:49:13. > :49:18.The other thing he is doing is slicing it out wide. If you place

:49:19. > :49:21.The other thing he is doing is well, QR pretty sure that your

:49:22. > :49:28.opponent will not able to do an awful lot with the return. It opens

:49:29. > :49:40.up the court. -- you are pretty sure. I played against Jimmy Connors

:49:41. > :49:52.and Andre Agassi. They changed the game. These guys started attacking

:49:53. > :50:00.the serve. I can do even better from the return of serve then you can and

:50:01. > :50:10.that is amazing. -- than you can. Try doing that with Boris Becker.

:50:11. > :50:14.These guys have learned how to play offensively

:50:15. > :50:20.These guys have learned how to play made the men's game totally

:50:21. > :50:27.different than that was 12 you go. -- 12 years ago.

:50:28. > :50:41.UMPIRE: third set, Radek Stepanek to serve. Generous applause for the

:50:42. > :51:13.player from the Czech Republic. You are getting some big audiences

:51:14. > :51:42.in the United States for the soccer. It is the turn of Radek Stepanek to

:51:43. > :52:04.take Novak Djokovic off the court. He did that very well.

:52:05. > :52:30.It looked as if Novak Djokovic changed his grip. I do not know why.

:52:31. > :52:42.That was merely, but not quite. -- that was almost.

:52:43. > :52:51.This was a sweet looking ball. Novak Djokovic was upset at missing the

:52:52. > :53:04.previous forehand on top of the net so he wanted to get back in this

:53:05. > :53:06.game. End it with a flourish. You have to credit him for making such a

:53:07. > :53:57.good attempt at that ball. It seems a bit of a magic potion on

:53:58. > :54:29.that knee! Absolutely. Get him over here.

:54:30. > :54:35.First of all, that ball was called out. Let's get real here. The crowd

:54:36. > :54:58.did not know that. That was sweet. He held that long

:54:59. > :55:56.enough and forced him to commit. He saw him moving.

:55:57. > :56:44.The crowd are absolutely loving this. What a point!

:56:45. > :57:03.UMPIRE: correction, replayed the point. -- replay. It was a good call

:57:04. > :57:06.from the umpire. It was point. -- replay. It was a good call

:57:07. > :57:31.from the umpire. authoritative and correct.

:57:32. > :57:41.You can see why the players trained so hard. You have to be fast and

:57:42. > :57:46.fast to recover. You must be fast to compute what is going on in your

:57:47. > :57:51.head and be able to deal with people like Radek Stepanek. He is throwing

:57:52. > :59:00.the kitchen sink at his opponent. That was simply too good. The man

:59:01. > :59:08.from the Czech Republic is trying to move forward. He is serving and

:59:09. > :59:11.volleying on the first serve but hardly ever on the second. It is

:59:12. > :59:49.very tough to do with these players. Talk about going from defence to a

:59:50. > :59:54.fence. It is a sixth sense that they have. They sense an opportunity.

:59:55. > :00:41.They are so quick to take advantage. That is certainly like the old days.

:00:42. > :01:02.He is really working very hard and forcing his opponent to do the same.

:01:03. > :01:15.He keeps his nose in front in this third set.

:01:16. > :01:19.You have to admire from Radek Stepanek. He must

:01:20. > :01:23.You have to admire deep down, that he is playing a

:01:24. > :01:30.player that has more armoury than he has but he is still fighting for

:01:31. > :01:36.everything. That is what you must love about sport. It does not matter

:01:37. > :01:41.what you are up against, you must eager out a way, in your own mind, a

:01:42. > :01:49.scenario that could get you back into the situation. It looks bleak.

:01:50. > :02:19.He is playing a younger, quicker, fresher man. That is obviously

:02:20. > :02:30.hurting. He must toughen up! One or two dark clouds hovering over Centre

:02:31. > :02:33.Court. It is a lovely evening when the sun picks through and it is a

:02:34. > :02:37.lovely match that we are watching at the moment. -- when the sun peeks

:02:38. > :03:11.through. He gets to absolutely everything! He

:03:12. > :03:16.is so quick. That is as good as a -- a return as you can head. -- you can

:03:17. > :04:21.hit. He does not move like he is aged 35.

:04:22. > :04:25.Some excellent returns of serve in this game already. Make that another

:04:26. > :05:10.one! He has taken some serious advantage

:05:11. > :05:59.of that white serve today. -- that wide serve.

:06:00. > :06:08.He was trying to pull Novak Djokovic. -- he was trying to fool

:06:09. > :06:23.Novak Djokovic. That is easier said than done.

:06:24. > :07:59.He has picked up on those passing shots rather well.

:08:00. > :08:05.It is uncanny, he gets this correct. He gets into the net as close as

:08:06. > :08:13.possible and Novak Djokovic was frustrated with the way the game had

:08:14. > :08:20.turned out. He is not worried about placement. He has this way of

:08:21. > :08:26.annoying his opponent. It is quite a quality! I would not know anything

:08:27. > :08:42.about that. You are looking at me as if to say who the hell are you to

:08:43. > :08:45.talk? You look at the score. He is playing about as well as he can play

:08:46. > :08:51.and he is still giving it everything he can. This may be the last time he

:08:52. > :08:56.is out on Centre Court and this is what he is playing like. This is

:08:57. > :08:57.what we want to see from the competitors. He is loving every

:08:58. > :09:15.minute of this event. There are some spare seats up there.

:09:16. > :09:50.We need people to fill those seats! He is certainly still wary eager. --

:09:51. > :10:27.very eager. SUE BARKER: we are coming to the end

:10:28. > :10:34.of our transmission on BBC One we will continue this match on BBC Two.

:10:35. > :10:39.Let's take a look at what has been happening around the grounds. Some

:10:40. > :10:44.champions have Dean on court today including Venus Williams. She is now

:10:45. > :10:49.aged 33 and won her magistrate sets. She is now through to the third

:10:50. > :11:05.round. -- won her match in straight sets. She will face another

:11:06. > :11:12.champion, Petra Kvitova. It only took her 55 minutes on court today.

:11:13. > :11:21.Out on Court Number Two, one of the matches of the tournament. David

:11:22. > :11:40.Ferrer By contrast, Andy Murray was only on

:11:41. > :11:45.court for just under an hour and a half. He

:11:46. > :11:50.court for just under an hour and a opponent. He is comfortably through

:11:51. > :11:55.to the third round and he was very impressive today. He got a standing

:11:56. > :12:00.ovation on Court Number One. That was earlier this afternoon. Here he

:12:01. > :12:20.is heading home after a job well done. Welcome to Wimbledon. I am

:12:21. > :12:25.joined by Andy Murray. How are you. I am well. I hear you are a big fan

:12:26. > :12:36.of a certain breed of dog? I am well. I hear you are a big fan

:12:37. > :12:45.terrier. I am a border terrier. SUE BARKER: I am sure he loved that! You

:12:46. > :12:53.will be able to see all of that interview on Today At Wimbledon

:12:54. > :13:02.tonight on BBC Two at eight DM. -- 8pm. We are going over to BBC Two.

:13:03. > :13:09.Plenty of ten is still to come. -- plenty of tennis. Today, Andy Murray

:13:10. > :13:14.is three and his defence is looking strong. Goodbye for now.
