Day 4 Wimbledon

JOHN McENROE: Installed, there's always a chance of a shock result.

COMMENTATOR: He has done it! He has done it!

JOHN McENROE: The chance for revenge!

men's tennis. Rafael Nadal. A chance to conquer your past.

In the sport, and I know, there is a second chance.

COMMENTATOR: He has done it. He has won it!

JOHN McENROE: A chance to right a wrong.

It's always different second time round. Isn't it?

SUE BARKER: It was one of the biggest shocks in tennis, Rosol

beating Nadal and everybody is ready for the rematch. Over 40,000 fans

have been through the gates each day of the Championships and we have

another capacity crowd here today to enjoy the Wimbledon experience. And

Centre Court is where Rosol will face Nadal. That is on court right

now. Hello, where are you? Hello, yes, welcome to Wimbledon. Another

beautiful sunny day here. Everyone coming to enjoy the tennis. Some of

the all-time greats on the show courts. Here is who we will be

following today. Rosol beat Nadal in fibre filling sets a few years ago

and they are on Centre Court and we're heading there in just a

moment. -- thrilling sets. Heather Watson is aiming to match her

previous best of reaching the third round for the British and the one

faces a tough task against ninth seed Angelique Kerber. Seven time

champion Roger Federer suffered a shock defeat in last year 's second

round. Now the king of grass will be hoping to sidestep a similar upset

against Gilles Muller. Five-time champions Serena Williams is on

Court One as she continues her quest for 18th Grand Slam title. She

continues her quest for 18th Grand Slam title. She's up against South

African Chanelle Scheepers. And Maria Sharapova has lost three times

in the second round here including last year and today the 2004

champion faces the Swiss qualifier Timea Bacsinskzky later on Court

Number One. A couple of results to bring you. Milos Raonic, number

eight, many people are predicting he will go far and he has won in

straight sets against Jack Sock out on Court number three. Another very

talented player, the top ranked Japanese man ever, seeded 10th at

these championships, only lost six games today against a qualifier from

the United States. Before we had to Centre Court, just to update some

other matches. Gael Monfils is fighting back. He's won the third

set. If you want to watch that, it's on the red button. Richard Gasquet

is Chanelle Scheepers 2-1 up against Nick Kyrgios from Australia. That'll

be on the red button very soon. The French number one Alize Cornet is in

control, 4-1 up against Petra Cetkovska. And talking of being in

control, the women's world never one certainly is on Court Number One.

6-1, 3-0, she leads against Scheepers. So that's on Court Number

One. It will be on the red button. We'll keep up to date with that. At

the score. Lukas Rosol has taken the first set from Rafael Nadal. He

broke at 4-4 and served at the set, so let's join this now with John

McEnroe and Simon Reade. Rosol is on a high at the moment. He

has been smacking winners left, right and centre.

Rosol's serve looking stronger and stronger. Let's have a look at the

placement of it. Well, he's got two serves, and is

chosen... You know why? He is so big, the figures, he hits his spots,

it doesn't matter, so I'm not even going to chance letting Nadal get a

good look at it. Get the racket on it. Pretty useful season sticks. --

stats. We call it a heavy serve. It is not

hit much harder than Nadal, but it feels much harder.

Even if ground strokes feel like they are jumping off the court. The

ball is just being abused by this guy Rosol. He's making Nadal seem

like small, how hard is that to do? There's not a lot that Nadal can do

at the moment, just plug away and trust in his mental powers, physical

powers, and the guy might just burn out a little bit. He's trying to

tell himself he can't keep it up, even though he knows, two years ago,

he was able to finish him off. He's upstart -- upset he let his forearm

game slip. Not a very well played game for Nadal to drop serve.

Plenty of time. Seems like he's got a lot more time than Nadal. Nadal

feels like he's on his heels leaning back.

When is the last time you saw a player hit a player Hedda ground

stroke, hit the net and it went past the baseline? That shows you how

hard the his acting. -- how hard he is hitting.

A look from Nadal to his camp, clenching his fists as if to say,

"I'm finding something now." I'm sure a lot of people tuning in

watching this match thinking, I remember that match two years ago.

Why haven't I heard of Rosol since then? Is it just grass, Nadal, a

combination of the two? I wish I had the answer. Obviously there's less

pressure on a guy like this. He's got nothing to lose and a lot to

gain, so he can just swing away. It is Nadal who's feeling everything.

He's the guy people expect to go all the way. This guy Rosol can walk

down the Kings Road no one knowing who he is. I'm not sure how may

people know who he is in his own country. Probably a lot more now so

than two years ago. He is anonymous. And then he goes out there and there

are guys, when he goes to play smaller events, it's a bigger win

for some of the other players out there, so he feels the pressure, so

he doesn't execute. This game is so mental. Matchups make a difference.

Being a left-handed player, to me, Rosol isn't bothered. It bothers a

lot more right-handed players but Rosol seems like he prefers it. How

pumped up was he at Centre Court in Wimbledon? You've got to give him

credit for stepping up to the plate and playing this well so far.

His percentages of first serves in are rocketing. 72 now.

He went for a first serve on the second. 126 mph. It is his second

serve. He is so confident. He actually

finished 2011 at 70 in the world, the first year he broke 100. This

year he beat Nadal at Wimbledon, he finished the year 74 in the world.

So we actually didn't do as well, despite that women. Last, he

actually improved and finished 47 in the world. Currently at 52. So he

has established himself out there on the circuit. -- win.

Another case where that spins seem to help him. He's 28, 29 next month.

It takes awhile to feel comfortable in his own body. Longer. This is

peak time for Rosol. This is the shot I thought he would

use more. I would be lucky to go to the guy's

backhand as opposed to his forehand, but he is hitting 30 effectively

both sides. Got a watch like that? My watch is about 499,999 pound less

than that one. At half $1 million watch. It's interesting players

choose to play matches with watchers. Could it be they get paid?

Look at that return. Terrible. There was a glass in the crowd. -- gasp.

Three break points. That shows you how aggressive Rosol

has been. Silky smooth. He has broken him to

love. I watched a couple of years ago from

the commentator box and I remember thinking this guy is certainly

giving Nadal something to think about. Nadal pulled at the fourth

set and they decided to close the roof and you thought, this guy is

going to think about it now and realise where he is. He's just going

to lay an egg. The complete opposite happened. He blew him off the court

and then, this held build-up, this can't happen again? Right now? It

looks pretty nice day. Not particularly hot. Doesn't look like

rain. He is doing the same number he did to Nadal in the fifth set.

He's getting a lot of deep, isn't he, Rosol? He is hitting the ball so

well off the return. He's just lunging, reaching. The impact, to

me, the key to the whole match is his serve because now it has allowed

him to loosen up and do his thing, and he is serving so well so far.

He did play beforehand. He tried a lot of different things which is

very smart. Gave them a lot of different looks, spins, slices.

Tried to throw Rosol off. This is the last game before new

balls. A good chance for Nadal to try to get back in this.

He did a good job handling this point. Nadal is going to be really

upset of himself he didn't make Rosol get a -- hit a rally there.

I think Nadal thought this a ball was going out and he did it to

opponent all the time, when he dips down at the last second. Well inside

the baseline. Another winner for Rosol.

Hasn't gotten a first serve in this game.

127. UMPIRE: New balls, please.

He is looking deflated right now. He can't believe what hit him again. Is

there much he can do or does he just have to wait now? I wouldn't bank on

it. I wouldn't bank on it not continuing series got to think of

something. He's going to have to energise. It's like he has punched

him right in the stomach and he's having a hard time breathing right

now. Suffocating Rosol. It's a smart save into the body so

he can't extend his arms. He is looking to move forward. -- serve.

He should definitely go for that serve a little more often.

So much work to do. SUE BARKER: Are we heading for

another major shock? Straight back on Centre Court in a moment. While

Rafa is suffering, Serena Williams has cruised through for the losing

just two games, 49 minutes beating Chanelle Scheepers from South

Africa. 6-1, 6-1. Serena stays on court for her 18th Grand Slam title

for the next up she will face Alize Cornet,

for the next up she will face Alize the number one French player ranked

25. She has beaten Petra Cetkovska the Czech Republic, 6-3 the final

set. Anton caught 16, a big show court for the next match against

Serena. That Anton caught 16. That's what's happening elsewhere. Back we

go to centre -- court number 16. COMMENTATOR: And it is all happening

here. What can you do? Should he return where he return where he's

returning from? Worth a shot. He had a good opportunity, this last game,

because he missed his first four first serves, hit a passing shot.

Didn't make him hit the volleys. He's got some pretty fresh balls

right there. One game in. UMPIRE: Mr Nadal is challenging the

ball. This will be big for Nadal if it was wide. He does not seem to

confident but it was out. Talk about a joke of adrenaline for him. He has

got a second serve instead of 15-15. Yes, the longest rally of the match.

And Nadal did the business there. I was waiting to see how long it

would be before the crowd starting getting behind him. I think it is

right now. getting behind him. I think it is

right The best point he has played in the entire match.

And right now this would be a big game for Lukas Rosol. This is Nadal

at his best, playing the defence. It has helped him win nine French

opens. Just missed. Super rally. He just

can keep this up, make Rosol work a lot harder now than he has been. He

will get rewarded. Maybe even this game.

that the tipping point? The crowd want to see a great match but you

can take that so far, and they thought it had gone far enough? He

was in trouble, he needed them. And they need Nadal. The sport needs him

to be at Wimbledon event, five times in the finals. -- at a Wimbledon.

Clenched fist from every point. He is feeling the moment.

Tony took his jacket off, we are going to be here for a while. Back

in business. They have quite a tempestuous

relationship. Decent serve. But it was rudely

received. There are not too many guys who can pull away and then take

the strength to take that back up the line. That is why Nadal was

nowhere near that, he was nowhere near incapable of pulling that.

He has not serve the short ball well today. -- served. Well, he will

hold. Five dashboard. -- five dashboard. 5-4. I am amazed at just

how close-knit the Nadal family is, you will often see his mother and

father, his coach since he was a little kid, at six years old, he

told him, maybe you should be left-handed? But I also saw some

things in the paper after the French Open and I know that Tony wants to

keep him hungry and humble. But, Nadal, they asked him about somebody

else, the fact that his nephew had won nine out of ten French. That is

good but somebody else can do that in the future! Are you kidding me?

Can you maybe give him just a little credit for one week? You talk about

that tempestuous relationship, perhaps he was annoyed at his uncle

whenever he read that. Show me some love! Do not keep me working as

hard! That is very nice, it did not have

the cost! There seems to be a switch in

momentum. You better believe it. Credit for keeping his composure, I

am still in this. Back to basics, he played that safer and he got that

game. Nadal, you can hardly expect him to break the guy twice in a row.

The first step is to get back in this set, he has to find a way out,

to maybe pull the side of the tie-break. Bonus if he can get

another break the next game. Nadal seems to be having more impact

live. If he can just get that rhythm, he seems to be coming

around. And he will win his game more easily. He can spend more

energy on the serve from -- monster. That seemed to come back

just as quickly. The centrestage can split players,

some rise to it. Somebody like Rosol loves there's so much but not on the

bigger stage, he often cannot get there. That is true, but let down

two years ago when he played Nadal, he beat him and in the next match,

he looked like somebody had popped his Berlin. You must earn it. --

balloon. That is what makes these top players so great, they rise to

the occasion and they understand where they are and how to make the

most out of this. I will credit Rosol for feeding from this

magnificent moment for him. What better place? The best court in the

world, playing the best matches he has ever played against this man

writer. -- right here. Huge couple of minutes coming up right now.

I would like to see Nadal becoming more aggressive on that return. But

was too short. -- that was. That was just long and he is going

to challenge. Any time that your opponent makes the call but it is

out, normally the other man challenges immediately. Just to make

sure. But Nadal went with the umpire.

Yes, Rosol thought it was not being called out.

He forced ten one to make that move sooner than he would have liked. --

Rosol. Nadal was very close to making that.

One point away from the break. He has done the job, he has taken

the set. Two years ago, Nadal one and went down in the end. And he won

the second set break. Do you see this as equally important

to both players? Yes, equally important. Nadal could come back

from two sets. But it is a lot tougher to beat Nadal from one set

all. It is so important for Rosol. Look at that. He did that before a

couple of years ago. He is not known as a man who hits a lot of winners

on the run. That was big-time for him. To be able to shift his balance

back whenever Nadal tried to go behind him.

The umpire giving Nadal a very long look. He has been warned for slower

play. Rosol chose to act panel, that

allowed the second serve from Nadal to just eat him up. -- backpedal.

He is not going away, this fellow. I do not know why they have a

different here, the best of five, it takes more out of you. Give these

poor guy is just a chance. 25 on the ATP Tour. -- these poor guys. Rosol

has not been complaining. The other guys should say, look, you have to

call before that. He cannot forgive himself for that

shot, Rafael Nadal. I cannot believe this was the one, on the break.

Well played by Rosol. That just sat up for him.

Now he has got the ammunition and these serves could do the trick.

So close. That was actually an incredible shot by Nadal, who had

bad balance. He reached for it but he knew he had to put some extra on

it. That was beautiful. It shows how important that

left-handed serve can be from him. Rosol did not hit that cleanly. That

opened up the court. Still, his uncle must be pride. That he was

able to come up with the goods there. -- pride. -- proud. He has

been battling big-time to level this.

After all that he has achieved, Tony is on his feet. On level terms. One

set apiece. And you wonder if the typhoon from the first set, whether

that has blown away. SUE BARKER: That response from Nadal

and we shall be straight back. Watching this battle continue.

Around the ground, elsewhere, Richard Gasquet is in the final set

against Nick Kyrgios from Australia. That match is live on BBC Two. And

another seed struggling, Gael Monfils, from France, he leaves in

the final set and what a comeback from him. He dropped the first sets

to Jiri Vesely, the former junior number one. That is on the Red

Button. And in court 17, coming out to serve for the match. He is in

real trouble. Perhaps another seed going out. You can follow that one

online. And the number five seed, the Australian Open champion, up

against Yen-Hsun Lu. They are level. That is also on the Red Button. And

Anna Ivanovich is in control of this match, one game away from the third

round against the former semifinalist from China. She is

really finding her form this year. That match also online. This is the

scene on Centre Court, the players are missing. I am not surprised.

What a stressful second set that was and thrilling tie-break. So, all to

play for. Two years ago, it was five sets. Are we set for another

thriller this afternoon? We can rejoin our commentators.

That first set was fantastic for Rosol and part of the second set,

was not playing at the same standard at the end of the second set but

Rafael Nadal saw his chance and he took that and there was that

explosion on Centre Court. Have you ever seen Tony like that? Well, I

have occasionally seen that but it goes to show you just how big he

knew and everybody knew how important it was for Rafael Nadal to

get rewarded for that effort. I mean, he was getting beaten rather

convincingly. And very few people, trust me, because that man was

dying, and he had the energy, he could not believe what was hitting

him. That is why he is just so great. That old saying, darkest

before the dawn. Somehow, he Justin Wilson self on. You realise how

important his head is. He was playing unbelievably. And he has to

sit there. He will say to himself, I blew this. But, hey... Five sets the

last time and guess who won that? He seems to believe he can pull off

that upset again. And it seems like he has got the energy to do that.

Nadal changing his shirt, among other things. He has got so many

twitches and things he has to go through. That is half of the reason

why he gets those warnings. He has to touch certain parts of the line

and put the ball in a certain place and his towel. I am not sure what he

asked the umpire for. Was it about the time? I am not sure. Let us hope

that is not an issue. The crowd is buzzing. Everything they could ask

for. In the second round we could see Nadal... Will he finally deflate

this the man from the Czech Republic? -- a good man.

-- big man. That is a very good start. Twitching. He does admit he

has got obsessive-compulsive disorder. Not just applying to his

bottle. You start to do certain things

whenever you win and it is like good luck. He has got 23 things he must

do before every point. It's not often you see Nadal flat-footed.

Completely fooled. Could not see where Rosol was going.

No challenge. I wonder why he didn't challenge there. It was close. It

could have been a little long. Rosol, when he sees that back, will

be rubbing the chance he did not challenge it. Especially now he has

blown that overhead. Especially when it looked like it didn't matter.

That was a gimme there. His big forehand gets him out of

trouble again. A healthy start for Rosol.

Notice how it always looks at Nadal on every point, and just stares at

him? He seems like he's got a future as a comedian or a clown or

whatever. This guide, he's like the old days, like in Game Of Thrones,

like an executioner or something. He will do whatever is necessary!

Menacing. An apology from Nadal for a little

flick off the net. Such big shots. Anything which disrupts his rhythm

will have a big effect than most. That kind of length will nullify the

strength of Rosol. It was 40-0. That was a tough shot

to pull off. He is capable consistently of taking the ball

above the shoulder, which, again, would seem to be a lot harder.

Unable to really generate as much power with your legs, the higher the

ball is up above your shoulder. It should be an easy game. It's getting

a little trickier. New balls. Nadal decides he's going

to go for a new racket. A lot of players do that. Maybe it loses a

tiny bit of tension. Did you do that? I did not do that at all. I

might use the same racket for a few matches. These guys really go a set

using the same one. Rosol not changing. He's growing a little

impatient getting ready for Nadal to get ready.

" does he get a different time limits to other players?" Were the

words of Rosol just then. He sells a lot more tickets, too. If

that is the worst thing he does is take a couple of seconds, even if it

was ten times in a match, I would think his opponents could live with

that. And should. Quick defence from Nadal and here is

a chance. A chance for Nadal to break ahead in the match for the

first time. It is in. Nadal doesn't think so. He

has challenged. He's going to give himself a little more time anyway to

let Rosol think about it. I think he knew it was in.

Rosol has one more break point to save.

Look at Rosol. Three first -- fist pumps there. That return.

He's on his feet again. That was a great finish. A lot of people on

their feet after this. Rosol, to be able to handle that, was excellent.

Couldn't get his grip changed. Flicked it across court. Beautiful.

Three break points saved. We are really standing close here.

First serve. The Spaniard gets what he wants. He

is a break ahead now. SUE BARKER: We'll be right back with

this match. A couple of results to bring you. Ana Ivanovic, seeded 11

this year, in a semifinalist, is through in straight sets, 6-4, 6-0.

She could face a Sabine Lisicki in the next round.

Over three hours on court 17. He has lost in the first round for the past

two years. Now he is into the third round. He has beaten Philip Cole

Schreiber. Let's update you with what's

happening on Court Number Two. They are in their fifth and final set.

Richard Gasquet up against Nick Kyrgios from Australia and it is

5-4, in the fifth and final set. That match is now live over on BBC

Two. And a five set game on court 12 as well. Gael Monfils. 5-4. That

matches on the red button. That's what's happening elsewhere. Back to

centre. You can hear the buzz around the

place. Is this the turning point now Rafa has got his nose in front? The

second break down, 1-1. Rosol complained about the amount of time

he was waiting. He lost his concentration of it. -- a bit. Nadal

knew he was getting to him and he gets the break.

UMPIRE: Lukas Rosol is challenging the call on the baseline. I don't

know if he is going to get his wish here.

Maybe he was cancelling the challenge Rafa had in the last game?

That serve, he has taken a little bit off it. Now he's starting to get

a little shorter. It opening up the court. Harder for Rosol to generate

the type of pace he wants to get on the return. That ball spinning away

from him. have a look at where he is standing.

To receive the Rosol serve. That has been important. He's trying to take

over from the return as opposed to let Rosol push around.

There was that unique forehand. Look at this. Rosol decides to serve and

volley and obviously doesn't do it often because all he does is go

right to the centre. He doesn't even move over to where he hit the

volley, so it was just wide open for Nadal.

Fantastic. That really was. Desperate times for Rosol, but he

came through there. Nadal is really starting to play well. Lukas Rosol

is still sticking with Rafa Nadal. This would be some achievement.

Rafael Nadal looks much more comfortable. He has that set under

his belt, he can sense he is making that impact and he wanted that badly

in the beginning. He can see Lukas Rosol is much more fragile, not as

consistent but certainly dangerous. He is like a heavyweight punch, he

cannot you down. -- he cannot you down. Rafael Nadal, his intensity is

very high and it will be very tough for Lukas Rosol to deter him. After

he won the fourth set two years ago, it looked to be his match.

After the roof was closed, he was history. I remember, when the roof

closed, he lost his lament. We thought that it would be Rosol who

would have a chance to think about what he was doing out there. He

flattened out. The weather appears to be not an issue. Some cloud.

Pretty light skies. This crowd has got to be loving this. It's got

everything. You've got a contender who is scaring the hell out of the

number two seed but yet, it is Nadal who has firmly got the lead. He

seems to be having things under control.

Again, that footwork you work talking about earlier, is getting

around so quickly. That some of the greatest footwork you will ever see

on a tennis court, to get himself into a position. Rosol didn't even

make a move for it. invitingly. He has played that to

say. It just sat there for Rafael Nadal. -- for Lukas Rosol.

What a forehand! That was like a sledgehammer. He comes around, it is

amazing. He can go for it that big on this court. And he just speeds

up. It is too much for some people. And

we are only in the third set! There is some way to go. The first Match

of the Day. Cheeky ball! He has got his doubles

ranking into the top 100, he is showing some good volley skills.

That were to serve again that he is trying. -- weird.

The first objective is forcing Nadal to serve out. Will he feel that

extra pressure? Rosol went to the French Open and lost in the first

round. Another Czech player beat him in the first round. And he lost in

the first round in Australia, that was Tommy Robredo. He is in the

third round, he is higher up in the draw. Rosol went in the second week

of the French Open, you are allowed to do this, he played the

challenger. From the Czech Republic. And he lost in the quarterfinal. Two

different tournament and then played and other challenger on clay in

Prague, and he won that. He beat the man that he lost two in the French

Open! He went straight from there, visibly the final Sunday, and lost

in the first round. -- presumably. And he can come here, he sees that

he is playing Nadal. Nadal serving. Challenge. You can see part of the

reason why this man has won 14 majors. He always looks on form but

he is just incredible and hanging in when he needs to. With good variety

of shots. That serve out wide is a very rich

vein. This is what Rafael Nadal wanted,

the nice, easy game. Two hours. And he has got himself back in the

driving seat. That helps take the third set.

And I am sure that he will not feel that the job is anywhere near done

yet! Not after what happened two years ago. But he must feel good

about where he is. In terms of movement and intensity. And when we

look at those statistics... The first serve, that is the key. He is

not winning as many easy points and he is slightly exposed, he cannot

move like Nadal. And he is starting to feel the effects of this match,

emotionally and physically. He has come to the net more than I would

have thought. Nadal would not mind seeing him there. 16 winners, and

two different unforced errors. Out of this city, he had to play better

and better. For people joining us, he was down by one set. And Rosol

was playing some inspiring tennis. I have commentated on hundreds of

matches. And I do not believe I have ever had the misfortune, playing

Jimmy Connors, and I have never seen a man trying so hard. But this guy,

I have never seen somebody, point after point, giving it everything.

It is so admirable. But he has some work to do. Rosol is going to lead

out, here. He knows that he has too. He was up last time. That is not the

case, here. For the 28-year-old. He had a pretty good Davis Cup team.

Himself and Tomas Berdych. Where you must position yourself is

a large part where you must hit the approach and you must think ahead.

And Rosol does not seem to quite grasp that totally.

Stepping in on that second serve closer is really paying off for

Nadal. He would absolutely love to get this break, right here. The

forehand of Nadal is looking frightening at the moment.

There is an energy to him that is getting to Rosol. He is just about

to break him. Not only by serving but mentally.

Super play from Nadal. That is another sickening blow. The mail in

the Coughlan, -- nail in the coffin. He is looking so good. Tony could

sense what he needed to do and he was supportive, you just energise

his nephew. He was in that chair, just pumping his fists. And there is

cemetery. They know each other so well. He could sense that he could

use something. And it has paid off. Rosol has not been the same player

since complaining to the umpire about the amount of time that Nadal

was taking. That is true. That is it jewel, that serve. He has

finally got it. -- a jewel. And he is going to keep doing it!

40-0, this is a time when he thinks, he must mix things up just a little.

To make him think. Another service game. Nadal, his

serving is getting more and more influential. He missed the first one

but 7% overall. -- 79%. It used to be that 50% was not bad and 60% was

great. Now, these men are not satisfied until it is at least 70%.

And he is at 79%! Well, he is taking on the umpire and

the line judge. Well, it was close. He should challenge that. That was

worth it. That close. Relief, I should think.

Difficult shot, but was at that difficult? It was, Nadal is

returning much better. He has had much more of an impact on the

return. The second serve ace, to retrieve

the situation. His level has dropped a little bit,

but it had to. That was one of the hopes for Nadal earlier on. The

storm has subsided but he has not fallen away completely? No, he is

dangerous but he has been weakened. He has taken a lot of body blows.

Nadal has said to himself, do not ever... Do not wear a jacket like

that! If you want to work in the future! And matching! You might get

laughed out of the place. But when you look at his ranking, his career

record on grass, his record at Grand Slams. His overall record. Logic

would tell you that he is not going to be able to keep this up for the

best of five sets. It would have been more difficult for Nadal if he

had lost that second set. He has done that numerous times and has

come back. As a matter of fact, three times. It feels like more. He

normally does not go down by two sets. But he has studied the

situation carefully and has been reminded a lot of this over the last

couple of years. He would have lowered the double break. -- loved.

That ball did look out. And that was quick. I think that was odd. -- out.

Looking up at the screen anxiously. I would have sworn that was a

different mark. Rosol is still looking incredulous.

Fantastic! Only him. You always love to hate this shot if you can. Just

about... You could actually had that below the height of the net and

still get it in. -- hit. You don't have miss Hawk-Eye when it

is not there. -- half. I would expect they should have it at all of

the tournaments. But they must drop the price!

You mentioned that he must have some big right hooks.

He did seem to be in position. He has to keep making it work. Nadal

does not want him to win any easy service games.

Interesting interview with Tony earlier and he said that his knees

happy more of a factor on the grass. The grass is making him much more

fragile on the grass, he cannot move. You are slipping. When you

slip, bad things can often happen and you lose balance and twist and

knees would be the obvious scenario. Last year, Azarenka. She had to pull

out. Thankfully, for the players, it has been drier leading up to the

first couple of days. So the court is much better off than normal. You

have to feel your way around. There is a different way to move on grass

than on the clay court. Different weight. You can see people skidding

on all of the surfaces. The grass courts play more similarly to the

clay than they ever have. It is just a different way of movement? You

must float above the court. Your calf muscles are much more involved.

It takes longer to change direction. He is waiting for the ball, Rosol.

He is not stepping in. I would much prefer to see him

further back behind the baseline. Clever shot. He did not force that,

he waited for the ball to drop. He could see that Rosol had slowed

down. He then moved forward. Good, strong service game.

He is unpredictable, you have to give him credit for that. He is

trying everything. Could he go to the end of the

singles sidelined to serve? I thought he could.

You did play some doubles in your time?

As this match has been changing, Rosol has not dropped his head. He

has been subdued. But he has kept on battling. Yes, he has, and he

deserves a lot of credit for just being in this position, to make

himself a solid professional. He played on the tour for many years.

He has done some good work, his coach. He obviously is dangerous. He

is on the brink. But he has this way, he is another guy who gets

under your skin. And he is talking out loud to himself as you are

serving, which is unusual. It takes somebody with fortitude and

character, like him, to brush this off and accept that this man is

going to do his thing. And try to bother him. Which is what you should

do in this sport, you have to be ready for these things. He does not

seem to have gotten to Nadal. If he had one that's it, that was going to

be a very tall task. But under his skin? He does not show it.

hit two great shots but lost the point.

His footwork is so phenomenal. That intimidates you when you are

playing. It gets in your head. He's going to challenge. It is his

last challenge. It will be close. It was called just out. I couldn't see

it. The umpire's chair was in the way. Let's take a look. It is there!

Well challenged. Completely flat-footed. Haven't a

clue where that was going. A couple of years have not been kind

to Rafa here. This is how little time you can take

between points. He's making a point, isn't it? It looks like he is

relaxed now. That may have been the quickest game

ever. F Rafa serves this out here, how are

you assessing his performance in the context of the tournament? I like

what I am seeing. He had to get his feet into this tournament. He

admitted it. A lot of people realised early on, he is way more

vulnerable. Let's think about this. If he wins this match and wins on

Friday, he's got a couple of days, three tough victories under his

belt. The second week. If you are a Nadal fan, you have got to like your

chances a whole lot more. He has battled, but that could help him.

That is the case, because he didn't play almost any matches at all

leading up to this, but it could pay off for him. You can see is

confidence rising. You don't want to deal with this guy. He is a B+ guy

now. Wait until he is a plus. Are they being a bit premature with

their tennis balls? Two hours and 37 minutes, Nadal

serving frog place in the last 32. -- serving for a place in the last

32. It's beautiful to see how low he is

getting for that ball. Rosol had a chance early in the point. He left

Nadal off the hook. You can hear Rosol talking as Nadal

is about to serve. Rosol doing all he can just to get

to Nadal. There could be some movement here.

Would you believe it? Is that pressure? Absolutely.

Incredibly, Rosol has the chance to level this set.

He didn't back off. Not one bit. Went right back to that forehand,

got the job done. Nadal into double figures on aces

and now it is match point. Spirited resistance from Rosol

there. He's still got that eager look about him. He might just rescue

this. UMPIRE: Mr Rosol is challenging the

point. The thing is, he is match point down anyway. Only just. I

thought it was a lot farther out the map. So, he is out of challenges. He

could be out of points after this. He is still extremely dangerous and

he's got his strut back. Good to see the handshake. A huge

obstacle surmounted. And he is reacting almost like he's won the

tournament. Well, not quite that, but absolutely right, huge obstacle

has been dealt with. He gave it everything, Rosol and for

a set and a break, he was the governor. A standing ovation by the

crowd. Even more perhaps than they could ask for. They got the winner

they wanted in the end, and they got a spirited challenge from this man.

And it was in high quality tennis being played out there. Both players

are bludgeoning the ball. Nadal has made a habit, no one in the audience

is complaining when he takes his shirt off. You never got the same

response? LAUGHTER

I wish. He has established himself around

number 50 in the world, of course. He has proven he belongs in the big

leagues. There's not a lot of guys who would want to play him when he

is hot, that's for sure. I wish my wife happy birthday, too.

This guy believes he belongs in the big leagues. It didn't look like a

second-round victory for Nadal, as many matches as he has one. He has

been hearing about this guy for two years. And when the draw was made,

he must've thought, what? Oh my gosh, I'm playing this guy again in

the second round? He had to step up big-time. One set, 4-2 down,

struggling. Out hit. Simple as that. Overpowered. How do you teach will

and desire? Do not quit under any circumstances. It's magic, you know.

You don't see this once every ten years if you're lucky. You had that

kind of intensity. I wish I did. I thought I did. I see guys like him

and you get goose bumps. I admire it. What you see out there, these

guys digging deeper and deeper. That's all you can ask for in

sports. He has made other guys better. Novak Djokovic, he's

thanking a guy like Nadal. He had no choice. He in turn helps other

people. He is so far ahead. And they are trying to tighten the gap. We

hope he will be around for the next four years possibly. Who would've

thought it would be conceivable. When Pete Sampras won his 14th,

Roger Federer would break, and Nadal has tied it. 28. He is closing the

gap. So, there it is. Rafa, the winner in four superset. -- super

sets. Two hours and 44 minutes, it took. Rafa, well done. He has found

a way. And it looked mighty difficult. A definition of, if there

is a will, there's a way, you will see a picture of this guy. Rafa is

now courtside. Well done. At one set and one break

down, in the second, what were you thinking? I had to wait for my

moment. I made a few mistakes in the first set. For the rest, I feel I

was playing good, not bad, but he was serving very well and that's

what happened here. And then, at 4-3, I had some amazing returns. It

is very important. Then I saved a set point so it was very important

in the second set. To play play against Rosol, it's a big thing. A

lot of people mention the word revenge before this match. Do you

feel you have exacted revenge for 2012 today? I don't understand. I

play for revenge? No, it's a different match. Today was another

match and I played to win. My goal is not Rosol. I want to play well.

In the tournament. It doesn't matter if it is Rosol or another player in

the past. It doesn't matter. How does your body feel after that

match? Tired, a lot of tension. I think I had a good answer after

travelling between the first and second set and I think I finished

the match well. We enjoyed it. Well done.

SUE BARKER: Indeed, there were some worrying times for Rafa but, like

all great champions, he found a way to win. That is one of the game 's

great competitors. So, Rafa marches on into the third round, so the

world number one is through for the next up on Centre Court, the British

number one. I'm joined by Nick. Heather has been

part of your Academy. Put into perspective how big a task she has

today ahead of this match with Angelique Kerber. She has been with

us since she was a teenager at the IMG Academy and in the last couple

of days, she had lots of interviews, and when she steps on that court,

the interviews are finished and she starts concentrating from the first

point of a match. She's full of confidence. She has a new coach,

she's training very hard, no more Facebook and Twitter. It's all

business. It's a great opportunity for her. She's playing Angelique

Kerber. You pronounce it differently but she is a big hitter. You have to

be very, very careful and expect Heather to take advantage of any

opportunity which comes her way today. We can see her coming out

behind us. Tell us about her strengths and weaknesses. What will

serve her well out there today? Her movement, excellent movement. She is

a good retriever. She is a good doubles player. She has two come in

a little bit. A little variety. A few surprise attacks. Heather, she

is centre stage, don't think about, just play one point at a time. We

just watched a fantastic match there, Rafa Nadal against Lukas

Rosol. We watched it in the tunnel and you called every shot before it

happened. And you called Hawk-eye, as well. What did you make of that

from Rafa at the end? You have to beat him because he is like Maria

Sharapova. It ain't over till it's over, baby, and if you think it over

with Nadal, you are going down. Lukas Rosol was right in there.

Actually, this match was good for Nadal. He found a way to win. Tony

was smiling, but was tense today. A lot of wrinkles on his face.

Angelique Kerber, great tennis player. When you come out on Centre

Court with the British crowd, you believe you can get lifted by the

atmosphere or will this come down to talent? The audience can certainly

help you a great deal and sort of the moral eyes or annoy the other

side. I believe today, Heather has got to zone out every single thing,

everything, and play one point at a time and let the umpire keep the

school and don't lose focus. I know you spoke to her yesterday. Nick,

thanks very much for speaking to us. Always a pleasure to work for you

people and for me to be close to Centre Court, holy mackerel.

Remember, Angelique Kerber is left-handed and they are very

tricky. You are not tricky. You have been great.

SUE BARKER: One of the game 's great characters. That's the next match on

Centre Court but plenty of it happening elsewhere. Some new young

talent of a merged. This one from the Czech Republic, has put out the

great entertainer, Gael Monfils. 6-4 in the fifth and final set. He is

six foot six and produced the fastest serve at Wimbledon, 143 mph.

He is through to face another bright young talent. That is Nick Kyrgios,

who produced a thrilling victory on court the Batu, putting out the

former semifinalist, Richard Gasquet from France. Nine match points

saved, three hours and 53 minutes. A standing ovation for him, just 19

years of age, winning 10-8 in the fifth and final set. We will hear a

lot more at this young man for many, many years to come. And we look

forward to Kyrgios in the next round. Those two are the result of

the play continues elsewhere and over on Court Number One, Stan

Wawrinka lead against Yen-Hsun Lu. Yen-Hsun Lu has a break in the next

set. That match is on BBC Two. Over on Court number three, Sabine

Lisicki, 6-3, 5-5, and that match is on the red button.

Over on Court number 12, one of the rising stars of the women's game,

seeded 20, she is 6-4 and is on serve in the second, so that match

is online. That's what's happening elsewhere. They are on the hill

waiting to watch Heather Watson on Centre Court and, in keeping with

her appearance on the big stage today, she has been rubbing

shoulders with a superstar. Let me take a stealthy. I was walking down

stairs and had a mini panic attack because I saw Samuel L Jackson and I

asked him for a picture and he was so, so nice. He looks really fit and

healthy. He plays tennis as well. It took the picture with my broken

phone. I said, the first thing he said to me, " with that phone? " We

came to juniors together and played doubles together. We won the title

together. It's tough playing a friend off the court. I knew it

wasn't going to be easy but I prepared myself as best I could and

I had a game plan and I think I just stuck to it and it worked well. How

were the nerves that there because the first round is not easy, the

British and one, on a big court so how tough was that? Absolutely, I

was nervous going into the match. I did not sleep the night before but I

never do. I was actually eating a banana and my jaw was not opening

properly because of my nervousness but once I got out and stepped onto

court, I was feeling good and I got rid of all the nerves. In terms of

your fashion, you have a new dress on with high waistline and that are

floating us. I'm wearing a new dress. This is my tennis dress. It's

kind of got high waisted skirt look about it. It worked today. She has

got a tough match today on Centre Court against Angelique Kerber,

two-time Grand Slam semi finalists but it's great to see Heather

smiling in fully fit again. Just under 20 minutes to go on BBC1 so

let's join this match on Centre Court. Lindsay Davenport alongside

Nick Mullins. How relaxed did have a look as she

was being held up stage before she was brought on to Centre Court,

smiling -- Heather? As if she was taking all of the in and enjoying

it. It's amazing what a bit of confidence can do for a player and

then nerves. No question, a huge match ahead for Heather Watson, but

she's playing some of their best tennis of her career. That certainly

helps your case when you are settling in to play a big match. She

didn't have the best nights sleep on Tuesday before her first match. Her

anxiety did not show. She played with a confidence which typified her

performance in recent months. A Spaniard in charge proceedings.

He is standing over the contest between the German and the Briton.

She setting itself up from match on Centre Court as the freshly

installed edition number one. It might

Centre Court as the freshly installed edition number one. yet be

the match of her life. little look up to the box for any

indication from her friends and family and the coach. She decided

that was not worth the appeal. Heather is learning early just help

Buffett is too but the ball away against Angelique Kerber, Kerber

hits the ball very flat and low. -- just how difficult it is to hit the

ball. And that will help. That improved

first serve. The woman who stands between Heather

Watson and the biggest win of her career so far. She came to Wimbledon

in cracking form, Kerber. She pushed all the way to the final at

Eastbourne last weekend. She is the world number seven, this is a very

big night and she has. -- mountain. This is one of those matches where

the players would feel much more comfortable returning serve than

trying to hold serve. Both players have excellent returns, they are

comfortable with that part of the game.

It is the serve that Heather Watson would look to deal with. Her second

serve is the weakness, she has an average first serve because she is

left-handed and can use her placement.

A little glimpse of what people have been seeing all along. She is so

more confident in herself with belief in her shots. And she is

going to have to be aggressive in this match. If she wants to win.

The break of serve handed on a platter. That should help settle

down Heather Watson. It is always tough starting a very big match

getting the serve broken but to break back is a huge positive. She

has to figure out some way to serve effectively against the great return

of Angelique Kerber. Heather is set yourself up

beautifully for that forehand but from the corner of her eye, she

could see Angelique Kerber holding ground. She just took her eyes off

that last forehand. Just too many shots that she could

make that she has not been able to put in play. She was not going for

the winner, they are the ones that you cannot afford to give away

today. This is better from Heather Watson,

be more aggressive. She came to the net with purpose.

One other that Heather Watson decided not to do is let live

passer-by, she is going to take these rallies by the scruff of the

neck as soon as she can. She adopted that after she had to sit out most

of last year. And that is a huge step forward.

-- life pass her by. That is the strength of Angelique Kerber. Her

ability to redirect shots. Very tough to changed election in tennis

and she does this better than anybody in the woman's game. Her

forehand down the line is signature shot. -- is her.

It is still a break. And the German moves ahead again.

The Eastbourne semifinal was a boost to her ranking, moving up ten

places. But winning against the Italian, flabby, her biggest so far.

-- Flavia. The world number 12. This woman is in verse seven. Another

step up. Getting that top 15 when is a huge step forward and one that

Heather Watson should be particularly proud of. She can

reassess her goals and it would be to try to get this top ten win.

So, Angelique Kerber, one break ahead again.

So far, it has been the backhand of Heather Watson that has not

inspiring. Step into that shot. -- been firing.

That is the best return we have seen from Heather Watson, taking her

chances and she has to do that today.

That is the first time either of these women has hung on to the

serve. Opening up some daylight. It was tough to imagine last year,

dealing with glandular fever, her father had to get out of bed every

day. And to be here today, on centre stage. -- get her.

SUE BARKER: Were coming to the end of coverage on BBC One but coverage

continues over on BBC Two and we will be there until eight p.m., lots

to look forward to, Roger Federer will be on Centre Court, Maria

Sharapova also. Join us there. Goodbye.
