:00:46. > :00:55.JOHN McENROE: Installed, there's always a chance of a shock result.
:00:56. > :01:06.COMMENTATOR: He has done it! He has done it!
:01:07. > :01:22.JOHN McENROE: The chance for revenge!
:01:23. > :01:35.men's tennis. Rafael Nadal. A chance to conquer your past.
:01:36. > :01:47.In the sport, and I know, there is a second chance.
:01:48. > :01:56.COMMENTATOR: He has done it. He has won it!
:01:57. > :02:06.JOHN McENROE: A chance to right a wrong.
:02:07. > :02:32.It's always different second time round. Isn't it?
:02:33. > :02:39.SUE BARKER: It was one of the biggest shocks in tennis, Rosol
:02:40. > :02:44.beating Nadal and everybody is ready for the rematch. Over 40,000 fans
:02:45. > :02:47.have been through the gates each day of the Championships and we have
:02:48. > :02:57.another capacity crowd here today to enjoy the Wimbledon experience. And
:02:58. > :03:02.Centre Court is where Rosol will face Nadal. That is on court right
:03:03. > :03:07.now. Hello, where are you? Hello, yes, welcome to Wimbledon. Another
:03:08. > :03:11.beautiful sunny day here. Everyone coming to enjoy the tennis. Some of
:03:12. > :03:20.the all-time greats on the show courts. Here is who we will be
:03:21. > :03:25.following today. Rosol beat Nadal in fibre filling sets a few years ago
:03:26. > :03:29.and they are on Centre Court and we're heading there in just a
:03:30. > :03:32.moment. -- thrilling sets. Heather Watson is aiming to match her
:03:33. > :03:36.previous best of reaching the third round for the British and the one
:03:37. > :03:42.faces a tough task against ninth seed Angelique Kerber. Seven time
:03:43. > :03:46.champion Roger Federer suffered a shock defeat in last year 's second
:03:47. > :03:55.round. Now the king of grass will be hoping to sidestep a similar upset
:03:56. > :03:58.against Gilles Muller. Five-time champions Serena Williams is on
:03:59. > :04:01.Court One as she continues her quest for 18th Grand Slam title. She
:04:02. > :04:06.continues her quest for 18th Grand Slam title. She's up against South
:04:07. > :04:09.African Chanelle Scheepers. And Maria Sharapova has lost three times
:04:10. > :04:16.in the second round here including last year and today the 2004
:04:17. > :04:19.champion faces the Swiss qualifier Timea Bacsinskzky later on Court
:04:20. > :04:25.Number One. A couple of results to bring you. Milos Raonic, number
:04:26. > :04:29.eight, many people are predicting he will go far and he has won in
:04:30. > :04:38.straight sets against Jack Sock out on Court number three. Another very
:04:39. > :04:46.talented player, the top ranked Japanese man ever, seeded 10th at
:04:47. > :04:50.these championships, only lost six games today against a qualifier from
:04:51. > :04:55.the United States. Before we had to Centre Court, just to update some
:04:56. > :05:01.other matches. Gael Monfils is fighting back. He's won the third
:05:02. > :05:12.set. If you want to watch that, it's on the red button. Richard Gasquet
:05:13. > :05:19.is Chanelle Scheepers 2-1 up against Nick Kyrgios from Australia. That'll
:05:20. > :05:26.be on the red button very soon. The French number one Alize Cornet is in
:05:27. > :05:33.control, 4-1 up against Petra Cetkovska. And talking of being in
:05:34. > :05:38.control, the women's world never one certainly is on Court Number One.
:05:39. > :05:44.6-1, 3-0, she leads against Scheepers. So that's on Court Number
:05:45. > :05:51.One. It will be on the red button. We'll keep up to date with that. At
:05:52. > :05:55.the score. Lukas Rosol has taken the first set from Rafael Nadal. He
:05:56. > :05:57.broke at 4-4 and served at the set, so let's join this now with John
:05:58. > :06:12.McEnroe and Simon Reade. Rosol is on a high at the moment. He
:06:13. > :06:39.has been smacking winners left, right and centre.
:06:40. > :06:44.Rosol's serve looking stronger and stronger. Let's have a look at the
:06:45. > :07:00.placement of it. Well, he's got two serves, and is
:07:01. > :07:05.chosen... You know why? He is so big, the figures, he hits his spots,
:07:06. > :07:10.it doesn't matter, so I'm not even going to chance letting Nadal get a
:07:11. > :07:15.good look at it. Get the racket on it. Pretty useful season sticks. --
:07:16. > :07:42.stats. We call it a heavy serve. It is not
:07:43. > :07:47.hit much harder than Nadal, but it feels much harder.
:07:48. > :08:01.Even if ground strokes feel like they are jumping off the court. The
:08:02. > :08:08.ball is just being abused by this guy Rosol. He's making Nadal seem
:08:09. > :08:39.like small, how hard is that to do? There's not a lot that Nadal can do
:08:40. > :08:45.at the moment, just plug away and trust in his mental powers, physical
:08:46. > :08:50.powers, and the guy might just burn out a little bit. He's trying to
:08:51. > :08:59.tell himself he can't keep it up, even though he knows, two years ago,
:09:00. > :09:03.he was able to finish him off. He's upstart -- upset he let his forearm
:09:04. > :09:32.game slip. Not a very well played game for Nadal to drop serve.
:09:33. > :09:41.Plenty of time. Seems like he's got a lot more time than Nadal. Nadal
:09:42. > :10:01.feels like he's on his heels leaning back.
:10:02. > :10:09.When is the last time you saw a player hit a player Hedda ground
:10:10. > :10:17.stroke, hit the net and it went past the baseline? That shows you how
:10:18. > :10:42.hard the his acting. -- how hard he is hitting.
:10:43. > :10:48.A look from Nadal to his camp, clenching his fists as if to say,
:10:49. > :11:26."I'm finding something now." I'm sure a lot of people tuning in
:11:27. > :11:30.watching this match thinking, I remember that match two years ago.
:11:31. > :11:39.Why haven't I heard of Rosol since then? Is it just grass, Nadal, a
:11:40. > :11:43.combination of the two? I wish I had the answer. Obviously there's less
:11:44. > :11:49.pressure on a guy like this. He's got nothing to lose and a lot to
:11:50. > :11:53.gain, so he can just swing away. It is Nadal who's feeling everything.
:11:54. > :11:59.He's the guy people expect to go all the way. This guy Rosol can walk
:12:00. > :12:03.down the Kings Road no one knowing who he is. I'm not sure how may
:12:04. > :12:07.people know who he is in his own country. Probably a lot more now so
:12:08. > :12:12.than two years ago. He is anonymous. And then he goes out there and there
:12:13. > :12:16.are guys, when he goes to play smaller events, it's a bigger win
:12:17. > :12:23.for some of the other players out there, so he feels the pressure, so
:12:24. > :12:34.he doesn't execute. This game is so mental. Matchups make a difference.
:12:35. > :12:40.Being a left-handed player, to me, Rosol isn't bothered. It bothers a
:12:41. > :12:50.lot more right-handed players but Rosol seems like he prefers it. How
:12:51. > :12:54.pumped up was he at Centre Court in Wimbledon? You've got to give him
:12:55. > :13:32.credit for stepping up to the plate and playing this well so far.
:13:33. > :13:48.His percentages of first serves in are rocketing. 72 now.
:13:49. > :13:56.He went for a first serve on the second. 126 mph. It is his second
:13:57. > :14:14.serve. He is so confident. He actually
:14:15. > :14:20.finished 2011 at 70 in the world, the first year he broke 100. This
:14:21. > :14:24.year he beat Nadal at Wimbledon, he finished the year 74 in the world.
:14:25. > :14:31.So we actually didn't do as well, despite that women. Last, he
:14:32. > :14:37.actually improved and finished 47 in the world. Currently at 52. So he
:14:38. > :14:58.has established himself out there on the circuit. -- win.
:14:59. > :15:10.Another case where that spins seem to help him. He's 28, 29 next month.
:15:11. > :15:14.It takes awhile to feel comfortable in his own body. Longer. This is
:15:15. > :15:53.peak time for Rosol. This is the shot I thought he would
:15:54. > :16:03.use more. I would be lucky to go to the guy's
:16:04. > :16:13.backhand as opposed to his forehand, but he is hitting 30 effectively
:16:14. > :16:23.both sides. Got a watch like that? My watch is about 499,999 pound less
:16:24. > :16:30.than that one. At half $1 million watch. It's interesting players
:16:31. > :16:44.choose to play matches with watchers. Could it be they get paid?
:16:45. > :16:51.Look at that return. Terrible. There was a glass in the crowd. -- gasp.
:16:52. > :16:57.Three break points. That shows you how aggressive Rosol
:16:58. > :17:14.has been. Silky smooth. He has broken him to
:17:15. > :17:39.love. I watched a couple of years ago from
:17:40. > :17:43.the commentator box and I remember thinking this guy is certainly
:17:44. > :17:49.giving Nadal something to think about. Nadal pulled at the fourth
:17:50. > :17:52.set and they decided to close the roof and you thought, this guy is
:17:53. > :17:59.going to think about it now and realise where he is. He's just going
:18:00. > :18:02.to lay an egg. The complete opposite happened. He blew him off the court
:18:03. > :18:09.and then, this held build-up, this can't happen again? Right now? It
:18:10. > :18:16.looks pretty nice day. Not particularly hot. Doesn't look like
:18:17. > :18:26.rain. He is doing the same number he did to Nadal in the fifth set.
:18:27. > :18:34.He's getting a lot of deep, isn't he, Rosol? He is hitting the ball so
:18:35. > :18:44.well off the return. He's just lunging, reaching. The impact, to
:18:45. > :18:50.me, the key to the whole match is his serve because now it has allowed
:18:51. > :19:21.him to loosen up and do his thing, and he is serving so well so far.
:19:22. > :19:31.He did play beforehand. He tried a lot of different things which is
:19:32. > :19:33.very smart. Gave them a lot of different looks, spins, slices.
:19:34. > :19:52.Tried to throw Rosol off. This is the last game before new
:19:53. > :20:07.balls. A good chance for Nadal to try to get back in this.
:20:08. > :20:15.He did a good job handling this point. Nadal is going to be really
:20:16. > :20:51.upset of himself he didn't make Rosol get a -- hit a rally there.
:20:52. > :21:00.I think Nadal thought this a ball was going out and he did it to
:21:01. > :21:07.opponent all the time, when he dips down at the last second. Well inside
:21:08. > :21:21.the baseline. Another winner for Rosol.
:21:22. > :21:51.Hasn't gotten a first serve in this game.
:21:52. > :22:24.127. UMPIRE: New balls, please.
:22:25. > :22:33.He is looking deflated right now. He can't believe what hit him again. Is
:22:34. > :22:40.there much he can do or does he just have to wait now? I wouldn't bank on
:22:41. > :22:44.it. I wouldn't bank on it not continuing series got to think of
:22:45. > :22:49.something. He's going to have to energise. It's like he has punched
:22:50. > :22:50.him right in the stomach and he's having a hard time breathing right
:22:51. > :24:07.now. Suffocating Rosol. It's a smart save into the body so
:24:08. > :24:13.he can't extend his arms. He is looking to move forward. -- serve.
:24:14. > :24:29.He should definitely go for that serve a little more often.
:24:30. > :24:53.So much work to do. SUE BARKER: Are we heading for
:24:54. > :25:00.another major shock? Straight back on Centre Court in a moment. While
:25:01. > :25:04.Rafa is suffering, Serena Williams has cruised through for the losing
:25:05. > :25:12.just two games, 49 minutes beating Chanelle Scheepers from South
:25:13. > :25:16.Africa. 6-1, 6-1. Serena stays on court for her 18th Grand Slam title
:25:17. > :25:17.for the next up she will face Alize Cornet,
:25:18. > :25:23.for the next up she will face Alize the number one French player ranked
:25:24. > :25:28.25. She has beaten Petra Cetkovska the Czech Republic, 6-3 the final
:25:29. > :25:33.set. Anton caught 16, a big show court for the next match against
:25:34. > :25:43.Serena. That Anton caught 16. That's what's happening elsewhere. Back we
:25:44. > :25:48.go to centre -- court number 16. COMMENTATOR: And it is all happening
:25:49. > :25:55.here. What can you do? Should he return where he return where he's
:25:56. > :26:00.returning from? Worth a shot. He had a good opportunity, this last game,
:26:01. > :26:08.because he missed his first four first serves, hit a passing shot.
:26:09. > :26:10.Didn't make him hit the volleys. He's got some pretty fresh balls
:26:11. > :26:58.right there. One game in. UMPIRE: Mr Nadal is challenging the
:26:59. > :27:05.ball. This will be big for Nadal if it was wide. He does not seem to
:27:06. > :27:08.confident but it was out. Talk about a joke of adrenaline for him. He has
:27:09. > :27:32.got a second serve instead of 15-15. Yes, the longest rally of the match.
:27:33. > :27:47.And Nadal did the business there. I was waiting to see how long it
:27:48. > :27:49.would be before the crowd starting getting behind him. I think it is
:27:50. > :27:56.right now. getting behind him. I think it is
:27:57. > :28:18.right The best point he has played in the entire match.
:28:19. > :28:29.And right now this would be a big game for Lukas Rosol. This is Nadal
:28:30. > :28:32.at his best, playing the defence. It has helped him win nine French
:28:33. > :29:05.opens. Just missed. Super rally. He just
:29:06. > :29:10.can keep this up, make Rosol work a lot harder now than he has been. He
:29:11. > :29:35.will get rewarded. Maybe even this game.
:29:36. > :29:40.that the tipping point? The crowd want to see a great match but you
:29:41. > :29:47.can take that so far, and they thought it had gone far enough? He
:29:48. > :29:58.was in trouble, he needed them. And they need Nadal. The sport needs him
:29:59. > :30:11.to be at Wimbledon event, five times in the finals. -- at a Wimbledon.
:30:12. > :30:27.Clenched fist from every point. He is feeling the moment.
:30:28. > :30:32.Tony took his jacket off, we are going to be here for a while. Back
:30:33. > :30:41.in business. They have quite a tempestuous
:30:42. > :32:21.relationship. Decent serve. But it was rudely
:32:22. > :32:25.received. There are not too many guys who can pull away and then take
:32:26. > :32:33.the strength to take that back up the line. That is why Nadal was
:32:34. > :32:46.nowhere near that, he was nowhere near incapable of pulling that.
:32:47. > :33:01.He has not serve the short ball well today. -- served. Well, he will
:33:02. > :33:15.hold. Five dashboard. -- five dashboard. 5-4. I am amazed at just
:33:16. > :33:20.how close-knit the Nadal family is, you will often see his mother and
:33:21. > :33:24.father, his coach since he was a little kid, at six years old, he
:33:25. > :33:30.told him, maybe you should be left-handed? But I also saw some
:33:31. > :33:41.things in the paper after the French Open and I know that Tony wants to
:33:42. > :33:48.keep him hungry and humble. But, Nadal, they asked him about somebody
:33:49. > :33:56.else, the fact that his nephew had won nine out of ten French. That is
:33:57. > :34:04.good but somebody else can do that in the future! Are you kidding me?
:34:05. > :34:11.Can you maybe give him just a little credit for one week? You talk about
:34:12. > :34:14.that tempestuous relationship, perhaps he was annoyed at his uncle
:34:15. > :34:18.whenever he read that. Show me some love! Do not keep me working as
:34:19. > :34:31.hard! That is very nice, it did not have
:34:32. > :34:52.the cost! There seems to be a switch in
:34:53. > :35:47.momentum. You better believe it. Credit for keeping his composure, I
:35:48. > :35:53.am still in this. Back to basics, he played that safer and he got that
:35:54. > :35:57.game. Nadal, you can hardly expect him to break the guy twice in a row.
:35:58. > :36:03.The first step is to get back in this set, he has to find a way out,
:36:04. > :36:06.to maybe pull the side of the tie-break. Bonus if he can get
:36:07. > :37:25.another break the next game. Nadal seems to be having more impact
:37:26. > :37:30.live. If he can just get that rhythm, he seems to be coming
:37:31. > :37:34.around. And he will win his game more easily. He can spend more
:37:35. > :37:42.energy on the serve from -- monster. That seemed to come back
:37:43. > :38:35.just as quickly. The centrestage can split players,
:38:36. > :38:41.some rise to it. Somebody like Rosol loves there's so much but not on the
:38:42. > :38:48.bigger stage, he often cannot get there. That is true, but let down
:38:49. > :38:53.two years ago when he played Nadal, he beat him and in the next match,
:38:54. > :39:02.he looked like somebody had popped his Berlin. You must earn it. --
:39:03. > :39:06.balloon. That is what makes these top players so great, they rise to
:39:07. > :39:13.the occasion and they understand where they are and how to make the
:39:14. > :39:15.most out of this. I will credit Rosol for feeding from this
:39:16. > :39:22.magnificent moment for him. What better place? The best court in the
:39:23. > :39:32.world, playing the best matches he has ever played against this man
:39:33. > :40:15.writer. -- right here. Huge couple of minutes coming up right now.
:40:16. > :40:18.I would like to see Nadal becoming more aggressive on that return. But
:40:19. > :40:56.was too short. -- that was. That was just long and he is going
:40:57. > :41:00.to challenge. Any time that your opponent makes the call but it is
:41:01. > :41:05.out, normally the other man challenges immediately. Just to make
:41:06. > :41:13.sure. But Nadal went with the umpire.
:41:14. > :41:29.Yes, Rosol thought it was not being called out.
:41:30. > :41:43.He forced ten one to make that move sooner than he would have liked. --
:41:44. > :41:59.Rosol. Nadal was very close to making that.
:42:00. > :42:39.One point away from the break. He has done the job, he has taken
:42:40. > :42:41.the set. Two years ago, Nadal one and went down in the end. And he won
:42:42. > :43:36.the second set break. Do you see this as equally important
:43:37. > :43:44.to both players? Yes, equally important. Nadal could come back
:43:45. > :43:48.from two sets. But it is a lot tougher to beat Nadal from one set
:43:49. > :44:15.all. It is so important for Rosol. Look at that. He did that before a
:44:16. > :44:18.couple of years ago. He is not known as a man who hits a lot of winners
:44:19. > :44:25.on the run. That was big-time for him. To be able to shift his balance
:44:26. > :45:38.back whenever Nadal tried to go behind him.
:45:39. > :45:42.The umpire giving Nadal a very long look. He has been warned for slower
:45:43. > :46:22.play. Rosol chose to act panel, that
:46:23. > :46:44.allowed the second serve from Nadal to just eat him up. -- backpedal.
:46:45. > :46:54.He is not going away, this fellow. I do not know why they have a
:46:55. > :47:02.different here, the best of five, it takes more out of you. Give these
:47:03. > :47:13.poor guy is just a chance. 25 on the ATP Tour. -- these poor guys. Rosol
:47:14. > :47:16.has not been complaining. The other guys should say, look, you have to
:47:17. > :47:47.call before that. He cannot forgive himself for that
:47:48. > :48:41.shot, Rafael Nadal. I cannot believe this was the one, on the break.
:48:42. > :49:14.Well played by Rosol. That just sat up for him.
:49:15. > :49:57.Now he has got the ammunition and these serves could do the trick.
:49:58. > :50:11.So close. That was actually an incredible shot by Nadal, who had
:50:12. > :50:13.bad balance. He reached for it but he knew he had to put some extra on
:50:14. > :51:27.it. That was beautiful. It shows how important that
:51:28. > :51:34.left-handed serve can be from him. Rosol did not hit that cleanly. That
:51:35. > :51:38.opened up the court. Still, his uncle must be pride. That he was
:51:39. > :51:51.able to come up with the goods there. -- pride. -- proud. He has
:51:52. > :52:23.been battling big-time to level this.
:52:24. > :53:17.After all that he has achieved, Tony is on his feet. On level terms. One
:53:18. > :53:23.set apiece. And you wonder if the typhoon from the first set, whether
:53:24. > :53:29.that has blown away. SUE BARKER: That response from Nadal
:53:30. > :53:36.and we shall be straight back. Watching this battle continue.
:53:37. > :53:43.Around the ground, elsewhere, Richard Gasquet is in the final set
:53:44. > :53:52.against Nick Kyrgios from Australia. That match is live on BBC Two. And
:53:53. > :53:57.another seed struggling, Gael Monfils, from France, he leaves in
:53:58. > :54:04.the final set and what a comeback from him. He dropped the first sets
:54:05. > :54:19.to Jiri Vesely, the former junior number one. That is on the Red
:54:20. > :54:26.Button. And in court 17, coming out to serve for the match. He is in
:54:27. > :54:35.real trouble. Perhaps another seed going out. You can follow that one
:54:36. > :54:42.online. And the number five seed, the Australian Open champion, up
:54:43. > :54:51.against Yen-Hsun Lu. They are level. That is also on the Red Button. And
:54:52. > :54:57.Anna Ivanovich is in control of this match, one game away from the third
:54:58. > :55:02.round against the former semifinalist from China. She is
:55:03. > :55:11.really finding her form this year. That match also online. This is the
:55:12. > :55:18.scene on Centre Court, the players are missing. I am not surprised.
:55:19. > :55:23.What a stressful second set that was and thrilling tie-break. So, all to
:55:24. > :55:28.play for. Two years ago, it was five sets. Are we set for another
:55:29. > :55:36.thriller this afternoon? We can rejoin our commentators.
:55:37. > :55:41.That first set was fantastic for Rosol and part of the second set,
:55:42. > :55:47.was not playing at the same standard at the end of the second set but
:55:48. > :55:50.Rafael Nadal saw his chance and he took that and there was that
:55:51. > :55:59.explosion on Centre Court. Have you ever seen Tony like that? Well, I
:56:00. > :56:03.have occasionally seen that but it goes to show you just how big he
:56:04. > :56:10.knew and everybody knew how important it was for Rafael Nadal to
:56:11. > :56:17.get rewarded for that effort. I mean, he was getting beaten rather
:56:18. > :56:26.convincingly. And very few people, trust me, because that man was
:56:27. > :56:29.dying, and he had the energy, he could not believe what was hitting
:56:30. > :56:39.him. That is why he is just so great. That old saying, darkest
:56:40. > :56:46.before the dawn. Somehow, he Justin Wilson self on. You realise how
:56:47. > :56:54.important his head is. He was playing unbelievably. And he has to
:56:55. > :57:12.sit there. He will say to himself, I blew this. But, hey... Five sets the
:57:13. > :57:16.last time and guess who won that? He seems to believe he can pull off
:57:17. > :57:22.that upset again. And it seems like he has got the energy to do that.
:57:23. > :57:29.Nadal changing his shirt, among other things. He has got so many
:57:30. > :57:35.twitches and things he has to go through. That is half of the reason
:57:36. > :57:39.why he gets those warnings. He has to touch certain parts of the line
:57:40. > :57:54.and put the ball in a certain place and his towel. I am not sure what he
:57:55. > :58:03.asked the umpire for. Was it about the time? I am not sure. Let us hope
:58:04. > :58:11.that is not an issue. The crowd is buzzing. Everything they could ask
:58:12. > :58:18.for. In the second round we could see Nadal... Will he finally deflate
:58:19. > :58:31.this the man from the Czech Republic? -- a good man.
:58:32. > :58:44.-- big man. That is a very good start. Twitching. He does admit he
:58:45. > :58:47.has got obsessive-compulsive disorder. Not just applying to his
:58:48. > :59:07.bottle. You start to do certain things
:59:08. > :59:42.whenever you win and it is like good luck. He has got 23 things he must
:59:43. > :59:48.do before every point. It's not often you see Nadal flat-footed.
:59:49. > :00:00.Completely fooled. Could not see where Rosol was going.
:00:01. > :00:07.No challenge. I wonder why he didn't challenge there. It was close. It
:00:08. > :01:01.could have been a little long. Rosol, when he sees that back, will
:01:02. > :01:06.be rubbing the chance he did not challenge it. Especially now he has
:01:07. > :01:08.blown that overhead. Especially when it looked like it didn't matter.
:01:09. > :01:45.That was a gimme there. His big forehand gets him out of
:01:46. > :01:53.trouble again. A healthy start for Rosol.
:01:54. > :02:06.Notice how it always looks at Nadal on every point, and just stares at
:02:07. > :02:10.him? He seems like he's got a future as a comedian or a clown or
:02:11. > :02:16.whatever. This guide, he's like the old days, like in Game Of Thrones,
:02:17. > :02:18.like an executioner or something. He will do whatever is necessary!
:02:19. > :03:10.Menacing. An apology from Nadal for a little
:03:11. > :03:14.flick off the net. Such big shots. Anything which disrupts his rhythm
:03:15. > :04:02.will have a big effect than most. That kind of length will nullify the
:04:03. > :04:44.strength of Rosol. It was 40-0. That was a tough shot
:04:45. > :04:47.to pull off. He is capable consistently of taking the ball
:04:48. > :04:56.above the shoulder, which, again, would seem to be a lot harder.
:04:57. > :05:04.Unable to really generate as much power with your legs, the higher the
:05:05. > :05:06.ball is up above your shoulder. It should be an easy game. It's getting
:05:07. > :05:54.a little trickier. New balls. Nadal decides he's going
:05:55. > :06:00.to go for a new racket. A lot of players do that. Maybe it loses a
:06:01. > :06:07.tiny bit of tension. Did you do that? I did not do that at all. I
:06:08. > :06:14.might use the same racket for a few matches. These guys really go a set
:06:15. > :06:18.using the same one. Rosol not changing. He's growing a little
:06:19. > :06:28.impatient getting ready for Nadal to get ready.
:06:29. > :06:33." does he get a different time limits to other players?" Were the
:06:34. > :07:21.words of Rosol just then. He sells a lot more tickets, too. If
:07:22. > :07:27.that is the worst thing he does is take a couple of seconds, even if it
:07:28. > :07:28.was ten times in a match, I would think his opponents could live with
:07:29. > :08:12.that. And should. Quick defence from Nadal and here is
:08:13. > :08:13.a chance. A chance for Nadal to break ahead in the match for the
:08:14. > :08:53.first time. It is in. Nadal doesn't think so. He
:08:54. > :09:00.has challenged. He's going to give himself a little more time anyway to
:09:01. > :09:08.let Rosol think about it. I think he knew it was in.
:09:09. > :09:18.Rosol has one more break point to save.
:09:19. > :10:05.Look at Rosol. Three first -- fist pumps there. That return.
:10:06. > :10:25.He's on his feet again. That was a great finish. A lot of people on
:10:26. > :10:33.their feet after this. Rosol, to be able to handle that, was excellent.
:10:34. > :10:39.Couldn't get his grip changed. Flicked it across court. Beautiful.
:10:40. > :10:50.Three break points saved. We are really standing close here.
:10:51. > :12:11.First serve. The Spaniard gets what he wants. He
:12:12. > :12:28.is a break ahead now. SUE BARKER: We'll be right back with
:12:29. > :12:35.this match. A couple of results to bring you. Ana Ivanovic, seeded 11
:12:36. > :12:43.this year, in a semifinalist, is through in straight sets, 6-4, 6-0.
:12:44. > :12:54.She could face a Sabine Lisicki in the next round.
:12:55. > :13:02.Over three hours on court 17. He has lost in the first round for the past
:13:03. > :13:04.two years. Now he is into the third round. He has beaten Philip Cole
:13:05. > :13:12.Schreiber. Let's update you with what's
:13:13. > :13:18.happening on Court Number Two. They are in their fifth and final set.
:13:19. > :13:23.Richard Gasquet up against Nick Kyrgios from Australia and it is
:13:24. > :13:30.5-4, in the fifth and final set. That match is now live over on BBC
:13:31. > :13:42.Two. And a five set game on court 12 as well. Gael Monfils. 5-4. That
:13:43. > :13:43.matches on the red button. That's what's happening elsewhere. Back to
:13:44. > :13:58.centre. You can hear the buzz around the
:13:59. > :14:05.place. Is this the turning point now Rafa has got his nose in front? The
:14:06. > :14:10.second break down, 1-1. Rosol complained about the amount of time
:14:11. > :14:20.he was waiting. He lost his concentration of it. -- a bit. Nadal
:14:21. > :14:26.knew he was getting to him and he gets the break.
:14:27. > :14:33.UMPIRE: Lukas Rosol is challenging the call on the baseline. I don't
:14:34. > :14:42.know if he is going to get his wish here.
:14:43. > :14:53.Maybe he was cancelling the challenge Rafa had in the last game?
:14:54. > :15:02.That serve, he has taken a little bit off it. Now he's starting to get
:15:03. > :15:08.a little shorter. It opening up the court. Harder for Rosol to generate
:15:09. > :15:12.the type of pace he wants to get on the return. That ball spinning away
:15:13. > :24:22.from him. have a look at where he is standing.
:24:23. > :24:26.To receive the Rosol serve. That has been important. He's trying to take
:24:27. > :24:55.over from the return as opposed to let Rosol push around.
:24:56. > :25:04.There was that unique forehand. Look at this. Rosol decides to serve and
:25:05. > :25:07.volley and obviously doesn't do it often because all he does is go
:25:08. > :25:11.right to the centre. He doesn't even move over to where he hit the
:25:12. > :25:25.volley, so it was just wide open for Nadal.
:25:26. > :25:36.Fantastic. That really was. Desperate times for Rosol, but he
:25:37. > :26:32.came through there. Nadal is really starting to play well. Lukas Rosol
:26:33. > :26:37.is still sticking with Rafa Nadal. This would be some achievement.
:26:38. > :26:43.Rafael Nadal looks much more comfortable. He has that set under
:26:44. > :26:51.his belt, he can sense he is making that impact and he wanted that badly
:26:52. > :26:55.in the beginning. He can see Lukas Rosol is much more fragile, not as
:26:56. > :27:02.consistent but certainly dangerous. He is like a heavyweight punch, he
:27:03. > :27:09.cannot you down. -- he cannot you down. Rafael Nadal, his intensity is
:27:10. > :27:18.very high and it will be very tough for Lukas Rosol to deter him. After
:27:19. > :27:23.he won the fourth set two years ago, it looked to be his match.
:27:24. > :27:28.After the roof was closed, he was history. I remember, when the roof
:27:29. > :27:34.closed, he lost his lament. We thought that it would be Rosol who
:27:35. > :27:41.would have a chance to think about what he was doing out there. He
:27:42. > :27:50.flattened out. The weather appears to be not an issue. Some cloud.
:27:51. > :27:57.Pretty light skies. This crowd has got to be loving this. It's got
:27:58. > :28:02.everything. You've got a contender who is scaring the hell out of the
:28:03. > :28:06.number two seed but yet, it is Nadal who has firmly got the lead. He
:28:07. > :28:18.seems to be having things under control.
:28:19. > :28:47.Again, that footwork you work talking about earlier, is getting
:28:48. > :28:50.around so quickly. That some of the greatest footwork you will ever see
:28:51. > :28:54.on a tennis court, to get himself into a position. Rosol didn't even
:28:55. > :29:30.make a move for it. invitingly. He has played that to
:29:31. > :30:13.say. It just sat there for Rafael Nadal. -- for Lukas Rosol.
:30:14. > :30:32.What a forehand! That was like a sledgehammer. He comes around, it is
:30:33. > :30:37.amazing. He can go for it that big on this court. And he just speeds
:30:38. > :31:05.up. It is too much for some people. And
:31:06. > :31:07.we are only in the third set! There is some way to go. The first Match
:31:08. > :32:08.of the Day. Cheeky ball! He has got his doubles
:32:09. > :32:14.ranking into the top 100, he is showing some good volley skills.
:32:15. > :32:59.That were to serve again that he is trying. -- weird.
:33:00. > :33:08.The first objective is forcing Nadal to serve out. Will he feel that
:33:09. > :33:18.extra pressure? Rosol went to the French Open and lost in the first
:33:19. > :33:23.round. Another Czech player beat him in the first round. And he lost in
:33:24. > :33:35.the first round in Australia, that was Tommy Robredo. He is in the
:33:36. > :33:42.third round, he is higher up in the draw. Rosol went in the second week
:33:43. > :33:53.of the French Open, you are allowed to do this, he played the
:33:54. > :34:00.challenger. From the Czech Republic. And he lost in the quarterfinal. Two
:34:01. > :34:09.different tournament and then played and other challenger on clay in
:34:10. > :34:13.Prague, and he won that. He beat the man that he lost two in the French
:34:14. > :34:25.Open! He went straight from there, visibly the final Sunday, and lost
:34:26. > :34:27.in the first round. -- presumably. And he can come here, he sees that
:34:28. > :35:03.he is playing Nadal. Nadal serving. Challenge. You can see part of the
:35:04. > :35:09.reason why this man has won 14 majors. He always looks on form but
:35:10. > :35:11.he is just incredible and hanging in when he needs to. With good variety
:35:12. > :35:32.of shots. That serve out wide is a very rich
:35:33. > :36:04.vein. This is what Rafael Nadal wanted,
:36:05. > :36:18.the nice, easy game. Two hours. And he has got himself back in the
:36:19. > :36:27.driving seat. That helps take the third set.
:36:28. > :36:34.And I am sure that he will not feel that the job is anywhere near done
:36:35. > :36:40.yet! Not after what happened two years ago. But he must feel good
:36:41. > :36:53.about where he is. In terms of movement and intensity. And when we
:36:54. > :36:59.look at those statistics... The first serve, that is the key. He is
:37:00. > :37:05.not winning as many easy points and he is slightly exposed, he cannot
:37:06. > :37:10.move like Nadal. And he is starting to feel the effects of this match,
:37:11. > :37:16.emotionally and physically. He has come to the net more than I would
:37:17. > :37:29.have thought. Nadal would not mind seeing him there. 16 winners, and
:37:30. > :37:35.two different unforced errors. Out of this city, he had to play better
:37:36. > :37:47.and better. For people joining us, he was down by one set. And Rosol
:37:48. > :37:53.was playing some inspiring tennis. I have commentated on hundreds of
:37:54. > :38:01.matches. And I do not believe I have ever had the misfortune, playing
:38:02. > :38:06.Jimmy Connors, and I have never seen a man trying so hard. But this guy,
:38:07. > :38:16.I have never seen somebody, point after point, giving it everything.
:38:17. > :38:26.It is so admirable. But he has some work to do. Rosol is going to lead
:38:27. > :38:37.out, here. He knows that he has too. He was up last time. That is not the
:38:38. > :38:42.case, here. For the 28-year-old. He had a pretty good Davis Cup team.
:38:43. > :39:05.Himself and Tomas Berdych. Where you must position yourself is
:39:06. > :39:12.a large part where you must hit the approach and you must think ahead.
:39:13. > :39:21.And Rosol does not seem to quite grasp that totally.
:39:22. > :39:30.Stepping in on that second serve closer is really paying off for
:39:31. > :39:38.Nadal. He would absolutely love to get this break, right here. The
:39:39. > :39:47.forehand of Nadal is looking frightening at the moment.
:39:48. > :39:56.There is an energy to him that is getting to Rosol. He is just about
:39:57. > :40:16.to break him. Not only by serving but mentally.
:40:17. > :40:38.Super play from Nadal. That is another sickening blow. The mail in
:40:39. > :40:44.the Coughlan, -- nail in the coffin. He is looking so good. Tony could
:40:45. > :40:50.sense what he needed to do and he was supportive, you just energise
:40:51. > :40:57.his nephew. He was in that chair, just pumping his fists. And there is
:40:58. > :41:02.cemetery. They know each other so well. He could sense that he could
:41:03. > :41:18.use something. And it has paid off. Rosol has not been the same player
:41:19. > :41:20.since complaining to the umpire about the amount of time that Nadal
:41:21. > :42:01.was taking. That is true. That is it jewel, that serve. He has
:42:02. > :42:28.finally got it. -- a jewel. And he is going to keep doing it!
:42:29. > :42:29.40-0, this is a time when he thinks, he must mix things up just a little.
:42:30. > :43:04.To make him think. Another service game. Nadal, his
:43:05. > :43:16.serving is getting more and more influential. He missed the first one
:43:17. > :43:25.but 7% overall. -- 79%. It used to be that 50% was not bad and 60% was
:43:26. > :43:28.great. Now, these men are not satisfied until it is at least 70%.
:43:29. > :43:46.And he is at 79%! Well, he is taking on the umpire and
:43:47. > :43:55.the line judge. Well, it was close. He should challenge that. That was
:43:56. > :44:17.worth it. That close. Relief, I should think.
:44:18. > :44:27.Difficult shot, but was at that difficult? It was, Nadal is
:44:28. > :44:28.returning much better. He has had much more of an impact on the
:44:29. > :45:27.return. The second serve ace, to retrieve
:45:28. > :45:47.the situation. His level has dropped a little bit,
:45:48. > :45:52.but it had to. That was one of the hopes for Nadal earlier on. The
:45:53. > :45:58.storm has subsided but he has not fallen away completely? No, he is
:45:59. > :46:04.dangerous but he has been weakened. He has taken a lot of body blows.
:46:05. > :46:11.Nadal has said to himself, do not ever... Do not wear a jacket like
:46:12. > :46:22.that! If you want to work in the future! And matching! You might get
:46:23. > :46:27.laughed out of the place. But when you look at his ranking, his career
:46:28. > :46:35.record on grass, his record at Grand Slams. His overall record. Logic
:46:36. > :46:39.would tell you that he is not going to be able to keep this up for the
:46:40. > :46:47.best of five sets. It would have been more difficult for Nadal if he
:46:48. > :46:50.had lost that second set. He has done that numerous times and has
:46:51. > :47:00.come back. As a matter of fact, three times. It feels like more. He
:47:01. > :47:09.normally does not go down by two sets. But he has studied the
:47:10. > :47:12.situation carefully and has been reminded a lot of this over the last
:47:13. > :47:40.couple of years. He would have lowered the double break. -- loved.
:47:41. > :47:59.That ball did look out. And that was quick. I think that was odd. -- out.
:48:00. > :48:07.Looking up at the screen anxiously. I would have sworn that was a
:48:08. > :48:40.different mark. Rosol is still looking incredulous.
:48:41. > :48:55.Fantastic! Only him. You always love to hate this shot if you can. Just
:48:56. > :48:56.about... You could actually had that below the height of the net and
:48:57. > :49:33.still get it in. -- hit. You don't have miss Hawk-Eye when it
:49:34. > :49:35.is not there. -- half. I would expect they should have it at all of
:49:36. > :50:04.the tournaments. But they must drop the price!
:50:05. > :51:06.You mentioned that he must have some big right hooks.
:51:07. > :51:14.He did seem to be in position. He has to keep making it work. Nadal
:51:15. > :52:04.does not want him to win any easy service games.
:52:05. > :52:19.Interesting interview with Tony earlier and he said that his knees
:52:20. > :52:24.happy more of a factor on the grass. The grass is making him much more
:52:25. > :52:31.fragile on the grass, he cannot move. You are slipping. When you
:52:32. > :52:43.slip, bad things can often happen and you lose balance and twist and
:52:44. > :52:50.knees would be the obvious scenario. Last year, Azarenka. She had to pull
:52:51. > :52:55.out. Thankfully, for the players, it has been drier leading up to the
:52:56. > :53:01.first couple of days. So the court is much better off than normal. You
:53:02. > :53:05.have to feel your way around. There is a different way to move on grass
:53:06. > :53:17.than on the clay court. Different weight. You can see people skidding
:53:18. > :53:25.on all of the surfaces. The grass courts play more similarly to the
:53:26. > :53:30.clay than they ever have. It is just a different way of movement? You
:53:31. > :53:32.must float above the court. Your calf muscles are much more involved.
:53:33. > :54:03.It takes longer to change direction. He is waiting for the ball, Rosol.
:54:04. > :54:13.He is not stepping in. I would much prefer to see him
:54:14. > :55:24.further back behind the baseline. Clever shot. He did not force that,
:55:25. > :55:31.he waited for the ball to drop. He could see that Rosol had slowed
:55:32. > :56:13.down. He then moved forward. Good, strong service game.
:56:14. > :57:06.He is unpredictable, you have to give him credit for that. He is
:57:07. > :57:49.trying everything. Could he go to the end of the
:57:50. > :57:58.singles sidelined to serve? I thought he could.
:57:59. > :58:19.You did play some doubles in your time?
:58:20. > :58:34.As this match has been changing, Rosol has not dropped his head. He
:58:35. > :58:40.has been subdued. But he has kept on battling. Yes, he has, and he
:58:41. > :58:47.deserves a lot of credit for just being in this position, to make
:58:48. > :58:52.himself a solid professional. He played on the tour for many years.
:58:53. > :59:00.He has done some good work, his coach. He obviously is dangerous. He
:59:01. > :59:08.is on the brink. But he has this way, he is another guy who gets
:59:09. > :59:13.under your skin. And he is talking out loud to himself as you are
:59:14. > :59:18.serving, which is unusual. It takes somebody with fortitude and
:59:19. > :59:23.character, like him, to brush this off and accept that this man is
:59:24. > :59:32.going to do his thing. And try to bother him. Which is what you should
:59:33. > :59:42.do in this sport, you have to be ready for these things. He does not
:59:43. > :59:47.seem to have gotten to Nadal. If he had one that's it, that was going to
:59:48. > :00:13.be a very tall task. But under his skin? He does not show it.
:00:14. > :00:57.hit two great shots but lost the point.
:00:58. > :01:01.His footwork is so phenomenal. That intimidates you when you are
:01:02. > :01:48.playing. It gets in your head. He's going to challenge. It is his
:01:49. > :01:55.last challenge. It will be close. It was called just out. I couldn't see
:01:56. > :02:02.it. The umpire's chair was in the way. Let's take a look. It is there!
:02:03. > :02:31.Well challenged. Completely flat-footed. Haven't a
:02:32. > :02:44.clue where that was going. A couple of years have not been kind
:02:45. > :03:13.to Rafa here. This is how little time you can take
:03:14. > :03:16.between points. He's making a point, isn't it? It looks like he is
:03:17. > :03:26.relaxed now. That may have been the quickest game
:03:27. > :03:48.ever. F Rafa serves this out here, how are
:03:49. > :03:54.you assessing his performance in the context of the tournament? I like
:03:55. > :03:58.what I am seeing. He had to get his feet into this tournament. He
:03:59. > :04:04.admitted it. A lot of people realised early on, he is way more
:04:05. > :04:09.vulnerable. Let's think about this. If he wins this match and wins on
:04:10. > :04:18.Friday, he's got a couple of days, three tough victories under his
:04:19. > :04:23.belt. The second week. If you are a Nadal fan, you have got to like your
:04:24. > :04:28.chances a whole lot more. He has battled, but that could help him.
:04:29. > :04:32.That is the case, because he didn't play almost any matches at all
:04:33. > :04:37.leading up to this, but it could pay off for him. You can see is
:04:38. > :04:54.confidence rising. You don't want to deal with this guy. He is a B+ guy
:04:55. > :04:55.now. Wait until he is a plus. Are they being a bit premature with
:04:56. > :05:12.their tennis balls? Two hours and 37 minutes, Nadal
:05:13. > :05:14.serving frog place in the last 32. -- serving for a place in the last
:05:15. > :06:44.32. It's beautiful to see how low he is
:06:45. > :06:48.getting for that ball. Rosol had a chance early in the point. He left
:06:49. > :06:58.Nadal off the hook. You can hear Rosol talking as Nadal
:06:59. > :07:34.is about to serve. Rosol doing all he can just to get
:07:35. > :07:51.to Nadal. There could be some movement here.
:07:52. > :08:10.Would you believe it? Is that pressure? Absolutely.
:08:11. > :08:37.Incredibly, Rosol has the chance to level this set.
:08:38. > :08:44.He didn't back off. Not one bit. Went right back to that forehand,
:08:45. > :09:11.got the job done. Nadal into double figures on aces
:09:12. > :10:01.and now it is match point. Spirited resistance from Rosol
:10:02. > :10:05.there. He's still got that eager look about him. He might just rescue
:10:06. > :10:30.this. UMPIRE: Mr Rosol is challenging the
:10:31. > :10:38.point. The thing is, he is match point down anyway. Only just. I
:10:39. > :10:44.thought it was a lot farther out the map. So, he is out of challenges. He
:10:45. > :10:59.could be out of points after this. He is still extremely dangerous and
:11:00. > :12:16.he's got his strut back. Good to see the handshake. A huge
:12:17. > :12:21.obstacle surmounted. And he is reacting almost like he's won the
:12:22. > :12:23.tournament. Well, not quite that, but absolutely right, huge obstacle
:12:24. > :12:39.has been dealt with. He gave it everything, Rosol and for
:12:40. > :12:50.a set and a break, he was the governor. A standing ovation by the
:12:51. > :12:53.crowd. Even more perhaps than they could ask for. They got the winner
:12:54. > :12:58.they wanted in the end, and they got a spirited challenge from this man.
:12:59. > :13:04.And it was in high quality tennis being played out there. Both players
:13:05. > :13:09.are bludgeoning the ball. Nadal has made a habit, no one in the audience
:13:10. > :13:14.is complaining when he takes his shirt off. You never got the same
:13:15. > :13:16.response? LAUGHTER
:13:17. > :13:28.I wish. He has established himself around
:13:29. > :13:33.number 50 in the world, of course. He has proven he belongs in the big
:13:34. > :13:39.leagues. There's not a lot of guys who would want to play him when he
:13:40. > :13:48.is hot, that's for sure. I wish my wife happy birthday, too.
:13:49. > :14:21.This guy believes he belongs in the big leagues. It didn't look like a
:14:22. > :14:27.second-round victory for Nadal, as many matches as he has one. He has
:14:28. > :14:35.been hearing about this guy for two years. And when the draw was made,
:14:36. > :14:39.he must've thought, what? Oh my gosh, I'm playing this guy again in
:14:40. > :14:54.the second round? He had to step up big-time. One set, 4-2 down,
:14:55. > :15:01.struggling. Out hit. Simple as that. Overpowered. How do you teach will
:15:02. > :15:08.and desire? Do not quit under any circumstances. It's magic, you know.
:15:09. > :15:15.You don't see this once every ten years if you're lucky. You had that
:15:16. > :15:19.kind of intensity. I wish I did. I thought I did. I see guys like him
:15:20. > :15:26.and you get goose bumps. I admire it. What you see out there, these
:15:27. > :15:31.guys digging deeper and deeper. That's all you can ask for in
:15:32. > :15:41.sports. He has made other guys better. Novak Djokovic, he's
:15:42. > :15:54.thanking a guy like Nadal. He had no choice. He in turn helps other
:15:55. > :15:59.people. He is so far ahead. And they are trying to tighten the gap. We
:16:00. > :16:04.hope he will be around for the next four years possibly. Who would've
:16:05. > :16:12.thought it would be conceivable. When Pete Sampras won his 14th,
:16:13. > :16:23.Roger Federer would break, and Nadal has tied it. 28. He is closing the
:16:24. > :16:32.gap. So, there it is. Rafa, the winner in four superset. -- super
:16:33. > :16:39.sets. Two hours and 44 minutes, it took. Rafa, well done. He has found
:16:40. > :16:50.a way. And it looked mighty difficult. A definition of, if there
:16:51. > :16:55.is a will, there's a way, you will see a picture of this guy. Rafa is
:16:56. > :17:05.now courtside. Well done. At one set and one break
:17:06. > :17:16.down, in the second, what were you thinking? I had to wait for my
:17:17. > :17:22.moment. I made a few mistakes in the first set. For the rest, I feel I
:17:23. > :17:30.was playing good, not bad, but he was serving very well and that's
:17:31. > :17:36.what happened here. And then, at 4-3, I had some amazing returns. It
:17:37. > :17:48.is very important. Then I saved a set point so it was very important
:17:49. > :17:52.in the second set. To play play against Rosol, it's a big thing. A
:17:53. > :17:57.lot of people mention the word revenge before this match. Do you
:17:58. > :18:04.feel you have exacted revenge for 2012 today? I don't understand. I
:18:05. > :18:12.play for revenge? No, it's a different match. Today was another
:18:13. > :18:20.match and I played to win. My goal is not Rosol. I want to play well.
:18:21. > :18:27.In the tournament. It doesn't matter if it is Rosol or another player in
:18:28. > :18:32.the past. It doesn't matter. How does your body feel after that
:18:33. > :18:39.match? Tired, a lot of tension. I think I had a good answer after
:18:40. > :18:44.travelling between the first and second set and I think I finished
:18:45. > :18:45.the match well. We enjoyed it. Well done.
:18:46. > :18:51.SUE BARKER: Indeed, there were some worrying times for Rafa but, like
:18:52. > :18:58.all great champions, he found a way to win. That is one of the game 's
:18:59. > :19:02.great competitors. So, Rafa marches on into the third round, so the
:19:03. > :19:03.world number one is through for the next up on Centre Court, the British
:19:04. > :19:31.number one. I'm joined by Nick. Heather has been
:19:32. > :19:36.part of your Academy. Put into perspective how big a task she has
:19:37. > :19:39.today ahead of this match with Angelique Kerber. She has been with
:19:40. > :19:44.us since she was a teenager at the IMG Academy and in the last couple
:19:45. > :19:47.of days, she had lots of interviews, and when she steps on that court,
:19:48. > :19:52.the interviews are finished and she starts concentrating from the first
:19:53. > :19:57.point of a match. She's full of confidence. She has a new coach,
:19:58. > :20:01.she's training very hard, no more Facebook and Twitter. It's all
:20:02. > :20:05.business. It's a great opportunity for her. She's playing Angelique
:20:06. > :20:14.Kerber. You pronounce it differently but she is a big hitter. You have to
:20:15. > :20:17.be very, very careful and expect Heather to take advantage of any
:20:18. > :20:22.opportunity which comes her way today. We can see her coming out
:20:23. > :20:26.behind us. Tell us about her strengths and weaknesses. What will
:20:27. > :20:31.serve her well out there today? Her movement, excellent movement. She is
:20:32. > :20:37.a good retriever. She is a good doubles player. She has two come in
:20:38. > :20:43.a little bit. A little variety. A few surprise attacks. Heather, she
:20:44. > :20:48.is centre stage, don't think about, just play one point at a time. We
:20:49. > :20:54.just watched a fantastic match there, Rafa Nadal against Lukas
:20:55. > :20:58.Rosol. We watched it in the tunnel and you called every shot before it
:20:59. > :21:07.happened. And you called Hawk-eye, as well. What did you make of that
:21:08. > :21:11.from Rafa at the end? You have to beat him because he is like Maria
:21:12. > :21:18.Sharapova. It ain't over till it's over, baby, and if you think it over
:21:19. > :21:23.with Nadal, you are going down. Lukas Rosol was right in there.
:21:24. > :21:32.Actually, this match was good for Nadal. He found a way to win. Tony
:21:33. > :21:36.was smiling, but was tense today. A lot of wrinkles on his face.
:21:37. > :21:42.Angelique Kerber, great tennis player. When you come out on Centre
:21:43. > :21:46.Court with the British crowd, you believe you can get lifted by the
:21:47. > :21:51.atmosphere or will this come down to talent? The audience can certainly
:21:52. > :21:57.help you a great deal and sort of the moral eyes or annoy the other
:21:58. > :22:03.side. I believe today, Heather has got to zone out every single thing,
:22:04. > :22:07.everything, and play one point at a time and let the umpire keep the
:22:08. > :22:13.school and don't lose focus. I know you spoke to her yesterday. Nick,
:22:14. > :22:17.thanks very much for speaking to us. Always a pleasure to work for you
:22:18. > :22:23.people and for me to be close to Centre Court, holy mackerel.
:22:24. > :22:28.Remember, Angelique Kerber is left-handed and they are very
:22:29. > :22:35.tricky. You are not tricky. You have been great.
:22:36. > :22:38.SUE BARKER: One of the game 's great characters. That's the next match on
:22:39. > :22:43.Centre Court but plenty of it happening elsewhere. Some new young
:22:44. > :22:50.talent of a merged. This one from the Czech Republic, has put out the
:22:51. > :22:57.great entertainer, Gael Monfils. 6-4 in the fifth and final set. He is
:22:58. > :23:05.six foot six and produced the fastest serve at Wimbledon, 143 mph.
:23:06. > :23:10.He is through to face another bright young talent. That is Nick Kyrgios,
:23:11. > :23:15.who produced a thrilling victory on court the Batu, putting out the
:23:16. > :23:21.former semifinalist, Richard Gasquet from France. Nine match points
:23:22. > :23:26.saved, three hours and 53 minutes. A standing ovation for him, just 19
:23:27. > :23:30.years of age, winning 10-8 in the fifth and final set. We will hear a
:23:31. > :23:40.lot more at this young man for many, many years to come. And we look
:23:41. > :23:46.forward to Kyrgios in the next round. Those two are the result of
:23:47. > :23:57.the play continues elsewhere and over on Court Number One, Stan
:23:58. > :24:04.Wawrinka lead against Yen-Hsun Lu. Yen-Hsun Lu has a break in the next
:24:05. > :24:10.set. That match is on BBC Two. Over on Court number three, Sabine
:24:11. > :24:17.Lisicki, 6-3, 5-5, and that match is on the red button.
:24:18. > :24:28.Over on Court number 12, one of the rising stars of the women's game,
:24:29. > :24:33.seeded 20, she is 6-4 and is on serve in the second, so that match
:24:34. > :24:39.is online. That's what's happening elsewhere. They are on the hill
:24:40. > :24:42.waiting to watch Heather Watson on Centre Court and, in keeping with
:24:43. > :24:47.her appearance on the big stage today, she has been rubbing
:24:48. > :24:54.shoulders with a superstar. Let me take a stealthy. I was walking down
:24:55. > :25:02.stairs and had a mini panic attack because I saw Samuel L Jackson and I
:25:03. > :25:09.asked him for a picture and he was so, so nice. He looks really fit and
:25:10. > :25:13.healthy. He plays tennis as well. It took the picture with my broken
:25:14. > :25:24.phone. I said, the first thing he said to me, " with that phone? " We
:25:25. > :25:31.came to juniors together and played doubles together. We won the title
:25:32. > :25:34.together. It's tough playing a friend off the court. I knew it
:25:35. > :25:38.wasn't going to be easy but I prepared myself as best I could and
:25:39. > :25:42.I had a game plan and I think I just stuck to it and it worked well. How
:25:43. > :25:46.were the nerves that there because the first round is not easy, the
:25:47. > :25:52.British and one, on a big court so how tough was that? Absolutely, I
:25:53. > :25:58.was nervous going into the match. I did not sleep the night before but I
:25:59. > :26:01.never do. I was actually eating a banana and my jaw was not opening
:26:02. > :26:08.properly because of my nervousness but once I got out and stepped onto
:26:09. > :26:14.court, I was feeling good and I got rid of all the nerves. In terms of
:26:15. > :26:20.your fashion, you have a new dress on with high waistline and that are
:26:21. > :26:29.floating us. I'm wearing a new dress. This is my tennis dress. It's
:26:30. > :26:37.kind of got high waisted skirt look about it. It worked today. She has
:26:38. > :26:43.got a tough match today on Centre Court against Angelique Kerber,
:26:44. > :26:47.two-time Grand Slam semi finalists but it's great to see Heather
:26:48. > :26:50.smiling in fully fit again. Just under 20 minutes to go on BBC1 so
:26:51. > :26:55.let's join this match on Centre Court. Lindsay Davenport alongside
:26:56. > :27:09.Nick Mullins. How relaxed did have a look as she
:27:10. > :27:16.was being held up stage before she was brought on to Centre Court,
:27:17. > :27:21.smiling -- Heather? As if she was taking all of the in and enjoying
:27:22. > :27:27.it. It's amazing what a bit of confidence can do for a player and
:27:28. > :27:32.then nerves. No question, a huge match ahead for Heather Watson, but
:27:33. > :27:35.she's playing some of their best tennis of her career. That certainly
:27:36. > :27:45.helps your case when you are settling in to play a big match. She
:27:46. > :27:52.didn't have the best nights sleep on Tuesday before her first match. Her
:27:53. > :28:00.anxiety did not show. She played with a confidence which typified her
:28:01. > :28:13.performance in recent months. A Spaniard in charge proceedings.
:28:14. > :28:22.He is standing over the contest between the German and the Briton.
:28:23. > :28:27.She setting itself up from match on Centre Court as the freshly
:28:28. > :28:27.installed edition number one. It might
:28:28. > :28:27.Centre Court as the freshly installed edition number one. yet be
:28:28. > :29:43.the match of her life. little look up to the box for any
:29:44. > :29:45.indication from her friends and family and the coach. She decided
:29:46. > :30:27.that was not worth the appeal. Heather is learning early just help
:30:28. > :30:38.Buffett is too but the ball away against Angelique Kerber, Kerber
:30:39. > :30:40.hits the ball very flat and low. -- just how difficult it is to hit the
:30:41. > :30:45.ball. And that will help. That improved
:30:46. > :31:35.first serve. The woman who stands between Heather
:31:36. > :31:47.Watson and the biggest win of her career so far. She came to Wimbledon
:31:48. > :31:55.in cracking form, Kerber. She pushed all the way to the final at
:31:56. > :31:58.Eastbourne last weekend. She is the world number seven, this is a very
:31:59. > :32:35.big night and she has. -- mountain. This is one of those matches where
:32:36. > :32:40.the players would feel much more comfortable returning serve than
:32:41. > :32:43.trying to hold serve. Both players have excellent returns, they are
:32:44. > :32:56.comfortable with that part of the game.
:32:57. > :33:04.It is the serve that Heather Watson would look to deal with. Her second
:33:05. > :33:08.serve is the weakness, she has an average first serve because she is
:33:09. > :33:18.left-handed and can use her placement.
:33:19. > :33:28.A little glimpse of what people have been seeing all along. She is so
:33:29. > :33:32.more confident in herself with belief in her shots. And she is
:33:33. > :34:06.going to have to be aggressive in this match. If she wants to win.
:34:07. > :34:12.The break of serve handed on a platter. That should help settle
:34:13. > :34:16.down Heather Watson. It is always tough starting a very big match
:34:17. > :34:23.getting the serve broken but to break back is a huge positive. She
:34:24. > :34:24.has to figure out some way to serve effectively against the great return
:34:25. > :35:19.of Angelique Kerber. Heather is set yourself up
:35:20. > :35:22.beautifully for that forehand but from the corner of her eye, she
:35:23. > :35:26.could see Angelique Kerber holding ground. She just took her eyes off
:35:27. > :36:32.that last forehand. Just too many shots that she could
:36:33. > :36:37.make that she has not been able to put in play. She was not going for
:36:38. > :36:38.the winner, they are the ones that you cannot afford to give away
:36:39. > :37:15.today. This is better from Heather Watson,
:37:16. > :37:52.be more aggressive. She came to the net with purpose.
:37:53. > :38:00.One other that Heather Watson decided not to do is let live
:38:01. > :38:04.passer-by, she is going to take these rallies by the scruff of the
:38:05. > :38:09.neck as soon as she can. She adopted that after she had to sit out most
:38:10. > :38:33.of last year. And that is a huge step forward.
:38:34. > :38:42.-- life pass her by. That is the strength of Angelique Kerber. Her
:38:43. > :38:47.ability to redirect shots. Very tough to changed election in tennis
:38:48. > :38:53.and she does this better than anybody in the woman's game. Her
:38:54. > :39:18.forehand down the line is signature shot. -- is her.
:39:19. > :39:40.It is still a break. And the German moves ahead again.
:39:41. > :39:49.The Eastbourne semifinal was a boost to her ranking, moving up ten
:39:50. > :40:01.places. But winning against the Italian, flabby, her biggest so far.
:40:02. > :40:08.-- Flavia. The world number 12. This woman is in verse seven. Another
:40:09. > :40:12.step up. Getting that top 15 when is a huge step forward and one that
:40:13. > :40:17.Heather Watson should be particularly proud of. She can
:40:18. > :40:37.reassess her goals and it would be to try to get this top ten win.
