Day 7

:00:50. > :00:54.Wimbledon, the day when the players make their move as the business end

:00:55. > :01:01.approaches. But what is the state of play as it stands. First, the women.

:01:02. > :01:08.A famous five-time winner has gone and so has the number two seed. The

:01:09. > :01:18.favourite now is the 2004 Queen. But challenges wait. As for the men,

:01:19. > :01:29.still in the draw is a magnificent seven time champion. A two-time

:01:30. > :01:36.king. 2011's main man. And of course, last year's hero. Andy

:01:37. > :01:42.Murray's defence has been peerless so far, but the big three loom.

:01:43. > :01:46.Today, he plays for a place in the quarterfinals, as do many of the

:01:47. > :01:51.remaining men and women left in the draw. Today, prepare for a feast of

:01:52. > :02:06.tennis. Welcome to week two of Wimbledon 2014.

:02:07. > :02:13.Big crowds again, no surprises. It is one of the most popular days of

:02:14. > :02:16.the Championships with so many singles matches taking place on the

:02:17. > :02:18.outside courts. The weather singles matches taking place on the

:02:19. > :02:22.outside courts. The is set fair as well. The slightest chance of a

:02:23. > :02:27.shower. Andy Murray will be back on court today, on Centre Court. He

:02:28. > :02:33.lost 32 games last year in the first week, just 19 this year. No wonder

:02:34. > :02:39.we are all looking so relaxed. He is second on Centre Court.

:02:40. > :02:45.We will see Sabine Lisicki, last year's runner-up. She won her first

:02:46. > :02:48.set last night against Ana Ivanovic. That match continues.

:02:49. > :02:55.Caroline Wozniacki will be on court 12 today.

:02:56. > :03:01.Agnieszka Radwanska is in a playful mood this morning. Petra Kvitova is

:03:02. > :03:06.up against Shuai Peng. Stan Wawrinka is making his way back from the

:03:07. > :03:10.practice courts. He plays the third round match today on Court Two.

:03:11. > :03:14.practice courts. He plays the third Grigor Dimitrov is also in action.

:03:15. > :03:18.Ana Ivanovic was not happy on Court One last night. It was getting dark.

:03:19. > :03:23.She is back there again today. We will be keeping an eye on this young

:03:24. > :03:28.lady, it Eugenie Bouchard from Canada. One of the rising stars of

:03:29. > :03:34.the game. Talking of the weather, that is the view at the moment.

:03:35. > :03:38.Glorious weather conditions. Not too hot at Wimbledon. We have

:03:39. > :03:44.third-round and fourth-round matches to enjoy on this second Monday,

:03:45. > :03:49.often called Magic Monday. Play gets underway on the outside courts very

:03:50. > :03:55.soon. Centre and number one courts start at one o'clock. First up is

:03:56. > :04:17.Alize Cornet, the giant killer. She put out Serena Williams.

:04:18. > :04:29.Ana Ivanovic has lost the opening set from her match on Saturday. They

:04:30. > :04:38.are back out today. Angelique Kerber, the runner-up at Eastbourne

:04:39. > :04:42.is up against Maria Sharapova. Players getting underway very soon.

:04:43. > :04:46.On Court Number Two, Stan Wawrinka will be up against Denis Istomin

:04:47. > :04:53.very soon. You can watch that match on the red button.

:04:54. > :04:57.Over on court 12, we were expecting to see Madison Keys out there but we

:04:58. > :05:03.will tell you more about her in a moment. But it is Caroline Wozniacki

:05:04. > :05:12.up against Barbra Zahlavova Strycova from the Czech Republic. That is

:05:13. > :05:18.also on the red button. Over on Court Three, Feliciano Lopez

:05:19. > :05:23.who was a finalist at Queen 's club and a winner, he is up against

:05:24. > :05:32.another of the big servers. We know a lot about him, John Isner. We will

:05:33. > :05:37.be heading out to court eight very soon to see this one on BBC Two,

:05:38. > :05:39.Simone Bolelli up against Kei Nishikori. They are tied at three

:05:40. > :05:51.games all in the fifth set. Tracy is here. This day is

:05:52. > :05:56.wonderful, the second Monday. Anyone who is anyone is on board today.

:05:57. > :06:03.Absolutely. It is always the most magical day in tennis. We did not

:06:04. > :06:11.get some match has finished on Saturday but everybody is out there.

:06:12. > :06:16.Know Roger or Rafa. That whole section of the draw is being held

:06:17. > :06:21.over two tomorrow. Absolutely. It will make it little bit difficult

:06:22. > :06:25.for some players because on the mend's side there might be some men

:06:26. > :06:30.who have to play three days in a row which is very physically demanding

:06:31. > :06:40.when they have to play five sets. On the winning's side, they could play

:06:41. > :06:45.four days in a row. It is very physically demanding and emotionally

:06:46. > :06:50.demanding. In a Grand Slam, you are used to a day. The top half of the

:06:51. > :06:55.draw include Novak Djokovic Andy Murray, they get to have a nice day

:06:56. > :06:59.off and come back tomorrow. It is an advantage top half. Absolutely but

:07:00. > :07:09.know that Djokovic has his hands full against Tsonga. He played a

:07:10. > :07:14.terrific match in the last round. Joe knows his way around a grass

:07:15. > :07:22.court. He can be so dangerous. Novak has beaten him the last ten times.

:07:23. > :07:31.If Jo-Wilfried is on, he can beat anyone. He is so aggressive and

:07:32. > :07:41.relentless at coming forward. What about Andy's opponent? He is very

:07:42. > :07:50.tall! He is six foot eight. He looks 610! His serve is huge. What is

:07:51. > :07:55.difficult to get used to lose the trajectory of the ball. Andy is one

:07:56. > :07:58.of the best returners in the game. Because Andy has so much

:07:59. > :08:04.versatility, he will be able to get the ball low with the slices and get

:08:05. > :08:09.it below the level of his knees. Kevin Anderson has beaten Andy on

:08:10. > :08:15.hard. It is different on grass. Andy is on a 16 match run here at the All

:08:16. > :08:23.England Club, dating back to the Olympics in 2012. He is feeling so

:08:24. > :08:28.much confidence. Anderson has beaten him but his record against the big

:08:29. > :08:31.servers is rated, against players like Isner. You feel that Kevin

:08:32. > :08:39.Anderson will move better. That is what he has worked on this year.

:08:40. > :08:46.Kevin Anderson is having the career year of his life. He has improved

:08:47. > :08:50.his movement. He has won many more matches this year. Andy knows this

:08:51. > :08:56.can be a dangerous opponent. But again, I think Andy is playing so

:08:57. > :09:03.well. He is second on Centre Court. Madison Keys was the last American

:09:04. > :09:08.left in the draw but now she has gone because this actually happened

:09:09. > :09:14.on Saturday night. This was 9:30pm at night. She already had her right

:09:15. > :09:19.leg strapped. Now the left leg was injured and she called for the

:09:20. > :09:23.trainer. She won the Eastbourne tournament and had so many matches

:09:24. > :09:28.and had 3-set matches here as well. She had the trainer on and the

:09:29. > :09:33.medical time-out. This is getting dark at this stage. It has gone

:09:34. > :09:37.beyond 930 PM. They asked her to play one more game. You could see

:09:38. > :09:41.she could barely put any weight on the leg. At six games all they said

:09:42. > :09:46.it was it for the night. No surprise, you could hardly see

:09:47. > :09:54.anything out there. Look at that! You need a head lamp to play. A good

:09:55. > :09:59.thing she was 19, she could see the ball a bit better. She looked so

:10:00. > :10:08.impressive that is born. She has a huge future on grass. -- she was

:10:09. > :10:13.very impressive at Eastbourne. We have been predicting great things

:10:14. > :10:19.for Madison. She is really learning how to construct points better. This

:10:20. > :10:25.is an interesting dynamic. She had lost the first set. We thought she

:10:26. > :10:30.was going to serve it out and then she gets the other leg injured.

:10:31. > :10:34.Berry disappointing but overall, I think she will be very positive with

:10:35. > :10:41.what has happened in this grass court season. She is only 19 so she

:10:42. > :10:47.has a bright future. She certainly does. Talking bright futures, there

:10:48. > :10:55.is one for Eugenie Bouchard. Li McKenzie -- Lee McKenzie is by the

:10:56. > :11:03.practice courts. She's going through the motions of final practice. There

:11:04. > :11:11.is nothing about going through the motions with Eugenie Bouchard. It is

:11:12. > :11:15.focused, planned and very like Maria Sharapova who incidentally, happens

:11:16. > :11:25.to be her rival. Her formula she seems to be following about how to

:11:26. > :11:31.manage high profile attractive young tennis player. All the sponsors want

:11:32. > :11:38.her to have their logos on her shirt. It is easy to forget she is

:11:39. > :11:42.only 20 years old. She stayed in the juniors until her last year because

:11:43. > :11:48.she wanted to win a junior title which he did on the singles and

:11:49. > :11:53.doubles. She has a taste of the big courts. She has a very solid and

:11:54. > :11:58.supportive team around her. Her mum travels with her a lot. Head coach

:11:59. > :12:05.has been with person she was 12 years old. She has recently taken on

:12:06. > :12:09.a top fitness trainer. She knows exactly what she wants and when she

:12:10. > :12:11.was nine she decided she wanted to be a tennis player and be number one

:12:12. > :12:14.was nine she decided she wanted to be a tennis player and be number and

:12:15. > :12:14.to be honest with you, that is where she is heading.

:12:15. > :12:18.to be honest with you, that is where she We have a great match ahead of

:12:19. > :12:24.us. We really do have a great match

:12:25. > :12:32.ahead of us. Her army, there are a lot of them, she has so many fans

:12:33. > :12:35.around the world. She got to the semifinals at the Australian Open,

:12:36. > :12:41.followed it up with the semifinals at the French Open, she knows where

:12:42. > :12:49.she is going. She set her goals. Sam hit on it nicely. She reminds me of

:12:50. > :12:54.Maria Sharapova. She has a big game. She has a massive serve, moves well,

:12:55. > :12:59.is so aggressive. I practised next to her and she spent a lot of time

:13:00. > :13:08.on her return of serve. There were balls flying back and forth. She is

:13:09. > :13:13.focused on the next shot. She has so many distractions. She did not

:13:14. > :13:18.expect to play Alize Cornet today. She was expecting to play Serena

:13:19. > :13:23.Williams but she is a tough customer. How did your practice

:13:24. > :13:32.session go? I practised with Lindsay. We did not want to overdo

:13:33. > :13:38.it! Alize Cornet, she mentioned -- you mentioned her, she beat Serena

:13:39. > :13:44.Williams. Serena did not look like the old Serena. She wasn't Serena.

:13:45. > :13:47.She had three aces. We are used to her when she's struggling with the

:13:48. > :13:52.rest of the game. She had just about the same number of winners as Alize

:13:53. > :13:58.Cornet. We are used to Serena being able to elevate on grass. She is

:13:59. > :14:03.normally smooth and she was not when she played Alize. Alize said she had

:14:04. > :14:08.beaten her before. When she went out there, she felt confidence. Serena

:14:09. > :14:14.not getting past the fourth round of a Grand Slam this year, I just

:14:15. > :14:18.wonder if that locker room affect, when players are already intimidated

:14:19. > :14:23.by her, whether she has lost a bit of that. Only the second time she's

:14:24. > :14:30.in the fourth round of a Grand Slam, I wonder whether Bouchard might be

:14:31. > :14:39.more aggressive for her? It is an interesting matchup. She played once

:14:40. > :14:43.on clay. Alize Cornet won that one match. A really different opponent

:14:44. > :14:48.that she will be facing today. Corn it does not have a massive serve but

:14:49. > :14:52.she gets so many balls back and play. She threw in some slices to

:14:53. > :14:57.change place and that could be effective. We will see that at one

:14:58. > :15:03.o'clock on Centre Court. There is a match in the fifth and final set

:15:04. > :15:07.that we are going to join. Here is Kei Nishikori up against Simone

:15:08. > :15:22.Bolelli. Let's join this one with Jason Goodall and Nick Mullins.

:15:23. > :15:32.This is a match which called time at around 915 PM on Saturday evening.

:15:33. > :16:28.These two decided to suspend hostilities for 24 hours or so.

:16:29. > :16:35.Bolelli immediately picking up from the rhythm he had on Saturday

:16:36. > :16:40.evening. We saw him play some superb aggressive tennis. The forehand is a

:16:41. > :16:42.little weaker from a technical perspective. He can generate more

:16:43. > :17:22.pace with that shot. Bolelli is better when he can

:17:23. > :18:02.dictate play. There is Bolelli's Davis Cup

:18:03. > :18:45.captain. nervous here. Bolelli needs to make

:18:46. > :20:04.the most of that. is superb. The base you are hitting

:20:05. > :20:44.from has to be perfect and it was. Much more of a work-out than he

:20:45. > :20:48.would have ideally wanted on this Monday morning but the 24-year-old

:20:49. > :20:53.Japanese, who really is enjoying the best year of his career so far, is

:20:54. > :20:58.on the board at the start of the second week. He broke into the

:20:59. > :21:02.world's top ten for the first time earlier this year. He beat Roger

:21:03. > :21:05.Federer in Miami. Became the clay-court champion in Barcelona and

:21:06. > :21:12.he really should have beaten Rafael Nadal in the final in Madrid but for

:21:13. > :21:17.the back problem he had. Nadal was finding it tough to win points. Few

:21:18. > :21:21.players have been able to dominate Nadal like Nishikori did. The only

:21:22. > :21:26.other player was perhaps Novak Djokovic. That is where Michael

:21:27. > :21:30.Chang, who has had a positive influence on Nishikori this season,

:21:31. > :21:37.is better prepared emotionally to work the point is little longer. He

:21:38. > :21:40.understands the difference between defending and attacking on a clay

:21:41. > :22:26.court. He was not as aggressive as I thought he was going to be.

:22:27. > :23:06.The return is a little better of the backhand.

:23:07. > :23:12.Bolelli thought he had blown his chance to be here this year when he

:23:13. > :23:16.lost in the final round of qualifying at Roehampton but he got

:23:17. > :23:35.a break as a lucky loser replacing for who pulled out of the main draw.

:23:36. > :23:42.The last lucky loser to reach the third round was him. He was beaten a

:23:43. > :23:49.couple of years ago by Richard Gasquet. The last lucky loser to

:23:50. > :23:52.reach the fourth round, the bumper sized Belgian Dick Norman back in

:23:53. > :24:38.95. Bolelli is more comfortable coming

:24:39. > :25:16.underneath the backhand. I'm sure if the Japanese supporters

:25:17. > :25:21.had a choice, they would have stayed here all day yesterday to make sure

:25:22. > :25:27.they had a seat. They sat on court 18 through part of a win in's match

:25:28. > :25:31.in their coats staving off the rain, determined to watch their

:25:32. > :25:39.hero, and then the court was switched. They flew down the hill.

:25:40. > :26:31.If you are caught in the stampede, you were very unfortunate.

:26:32. > :26:42.Brilliant. The first three games since the resumption, all won by the

:26:43. > :26:47.server, Nishikori. SUE BARKER: It was so entertaining

:26:48. > :26:53.on Saturday evening and it is living up to the billing once again. We are

:26:54. > :26:58.in for a great finish out here on Caught eight. Other matches are

:26:59. > :26:59.available. This one on the red button, Stan Wawrinka and Denis

:27:00. > :27:14.Istomin. Caroline Wozniacki also on the red

:27:15. > :27:29.button. She is in trouble against Strycova.

:27:30. > :27:36.On Court Three, Feliciano Lopez and John Isner. You can follow that on

:27:37. > :27:38.line. That is the other third-round match to be completed. That

:27:39. > :27:50.line. That is the other third-round is happening elsewhere. Back we go.

:27:51. > :27:54.The 10th seed, just a game away. This has been an arm wrestle from

:27:55. > :28:39.start to finish. That is why Bolelli is so good. Once

:28:40. > :28:44.he can control the rally he has won the vast majority of points. Very

:28:45. > :28:46.comfortable stepping inside the baseline. A lovely technique moving

:28:47. > :29:19.through the volley. A joy to watch. There is so much more player --

:29:20. > :29:57.pressure on the players serving second.

:29:58. > :30:09.service game for the entire match so far. -- largely in control. That is

:30:10. > :30:26.not what is going on in his head at the moment.

:30:27. > :30:39.That backhand return is usually one of his strongest assets. Bolelli

:30:40. > :30:44.missed a couple of backhands in this game so I do not know why he did not

:30:45. > :31:00.return crosscourt, high percentage play, he had a chance of making it.

:31:01. > :31:54.A good indication of how tight both players game. -- are this game.

:31:55. > :32:02.Italian nerves, which are entirely understandable. One of this year's

:32:03. > :32:31.looking losers is on the verge of achieving here. -- lucky.

:32:32. > :32:39.The court time has lasted three hours and 12 minutes. In reality, it

:32:40. > :32:41.has spread itself over three days. This is much point for the 10th

:32:42. > :33:05.seed. -- match point. A contest that started on Saturday

:33:06. > :33:10.tea-time, it reaches its conclusion on Monday lunchtime. And Japan's big

:33:11. > :33:18.noise, the best player they have at the moment, Kei Nishikori, is into

:33:19. > :33:25.the fourth round and the second week proper. He has finally seen off the

:33:26. > :33:33.challenge of the Italian unlucky loser Simone Bolelli. Such a nice

:33:34. > :33:37.reaction from Nishikori. For Bolelli, problems with his wrist and

:33:38. > :33:41.coming back from surgery, he will be disappointed he could not make more

:33:42. > :33:47.of the opportunities at the end of the fourth set, break points in the

:33:48. > :33:52.fifth set. Nishikori is safely through and he has plenty of tennis

:33:53. > :34:02.still to play in the Championships. Always entertaining tennis, great to

:34:03. > :34:05.watch Kei Nishikori. And he will be back on court tomorrow. Stanislas

:34:06. > :34:13.Rinker has started his match on Court Number Two -- Stanislas

:34:14. > :34:19.Wawrinka. Against Denis Istomin. That match is on the red button.

:34:20. > :34:25.Also on the red button, Felicity Arnaud Lopez is enjoying such good

:34:26. > :34:31.form on the grass court this summer. -- Felicity Arnaud Lopez. He is

:34:32. > :34:38.playing big server John Isner. For-all. That is on the red button.

:34:39. > :34:43.-- four. We are heading to Court 12, it Caroline Wozniacki is in

:34:44. > :34:48.trouble, she is down four games against one against the player that

:34:49. > :35:00.put out we know. So the 16th seed is in trouble. -- Li Na.

:35:01. > :35:06.There will be a certain amount of tension between the years at the

:35:07. > :35:18.moment, being on the wrong end of the wrong break -- the years. It

:35:19. > :35:33.looks more, doesn't it, Liz? That is the back of the court. Somebody high

:35:34. > :35:38.up on the stand to the left. Somebody not feeling great at this

:35:39. > :35:41.moment, it seems. The steward is there, as ever, to deal with the

:35:42. > :35:54.problem. It will be Caroline Wozniacki to

:35:55. > :36:21.serve. That is possibly the worst shot

:36:22. > :36:35.Barbora Zahlavova Strycova has played at this match so far.

:36:36. > :36:44.It was not outside the line, but the inside. It was close. She does not

:36:45. > :36:48.like the return of serve. We do not have Hawk-eye, we have to

:36:49. > :37:15.do it the old-fashioned way. That is the umpire's way.

:37:16. > :37:24.The backhand is the trademark of Wozniacki. She does a much better

:37:25. > :37:29.job of generating pace from the backhand side than the forehand

:37:30. > :37:36.side. The forehand, she has a harder time flattening that aside out. --

:37:37. > :37:37.that side. The players have been slightly disturbed by the problem in

:37:38. > :38:14.the stand. Caroline's dad, the gentleman on the

:38:15. > :38:21.right in the blue, in the stand. Various other cultures -- coaches

:38:22. > :38:28.have helped in her career but her dad has always been there.

:38:29. > :38:47.Strycova, 2-4. I will rephrase that, for-2. She is

:38:48. > :38:54.reading. -- four. She is leading. After a problem over a call, she

:38:55. > :39:00.played two shots in the last game. And that is not a great start to

:39:01. > :39:21.this game. Wozniacki will be on her toes.

:39:22. > :39:29.She has good versatility on that backhand side, Strycova. Good

:39:30. > :39:32.variety as well. She comes in and this is a nice touch. Just landing

:39:33. > :40:15.very short. No chance for Wozniacki. That is exactly the kind of point

:40:16. > :40:16.Caroline Wozniacki is so well-known for, moving her opponent round,

:40:17. > :40:48.drawing them nearer. This is the variety I was talking

:40:49. > :40:57.about. To be able to serve and volley, 76 mph but placed perfectly.

:40:58. > :40:58.Right in the corner. She has been successful just about every time she

:40:59. > :42:18.has come in. There was a moment in that rally

:42:19. > :42:23.where Wozniacki had such a chance to go in and folly. She did not hit the

:42:24. > :43:11.forehand hard enough and she paid the price -- volley.

:43:12. > :43:24.UMPIRE: miss Strycova leads. New balls, please.

:43:25. > :43:38.She certainly has had a very good half an hour on this court. That is

:43:39. > :43:45.her coach on the right. He will be very happy with her. She is playing

:43:46. > :43:52.a better all court game. 10-3 in favour of that lady on the screen.

:43:53. > :43:57.Being more creative, she is coming in a lot more. She has made more

:43:58. > :44:05.unforced errors but also she has made more winners. Nine of 11 net

:44:06. > :44:15.points have been won. She certainly looks much more

:44:16. > :44:26.comfortable, which is easier when you are in the lead and you started

:44:27. > :44:31.well at the early wake. -- break. Wozniacki, 16th seed, finds herself

:44:32. > :44:40.serving to stay in this opening set. New set of balls. Providing, she

:44:41. > :44:44.will hope, better performance from her.

:44:45. > :44:59.That is too good point --. First serve, 90 mph. Strycova moves on the

:45:00. > :45:01.angle, she can move parallel to the baseline, so she cut off the angle

:45:02. > :45:44.on the serve. Not good enough. Caroline Wozniacki

:45:45. > :45:51.hit it straight back. This was the attempted folly, it was not played

:45:52. > :45:55.well enough -- volley. Wozniacki heading straight back to her

:45:56. > :46:02.opponent. Just apologising afterwards.

:46:03. > :46:10.It is quite often that she does not seem to go down the line if there is

:46:11. > :46:13.an option of going across court. You could have got a truck down, there

:46:14. > :46:37.was so much space! Strycova is being aggressive and

:46:38. > :46:43.Caroline Wozniacki is being wrong-footed. But she is being

:46:44. > :46:47.rewarded, she is being more aggressive, she is coming in more

:46:48. > :46:53.and she has big up off the ground and Wozniacki -- bigger. Wozniacki

:46:54. > :47:07.has questions to answer here, this is a big point.

:47:08. > :47:45.Set point. Strycova, from the Czech Republic.

:47:46. > :48:02.She has been the boss from the word go. She has a set in her pocket.

:48:03. > :48:05.Sue Barker: It looks like she will cause another big upset. We will

:48:06. > :48:09.keep you up-to-date. So much happening on the second Monday and

:48:10. > :48:16.these are some of the players that will feature this afternoon.

:48:17. > :48:21.So far, this Wimbledon, Andy Murray has been playing like a champion but

:48:22. > :48:27.today he faces big serving Kevin and on who is in the best form of his

:48:28. > :48:31.career. Queen's champion Grigor Dimitrov is another player who has

:48:32. > :48:36.had a great year and the 11th seed or fancy his chances against

:48:37. > :48:42.Leonardo Mayer who is in the fourth round of the Grand Slam for the four

:48:43. > :48:48.-- for the first time. Serena Williams was knocked out on Saturday

:48:49. > :48:53.by Alize Cornet but 19 Wozniacki prove another tough challenge --

:48:54. > :48:59.Eugenie Bouchard. Ana Ivanovic has yet to complete her for -- to

:49:00. > :49:04.complete her match. She was a runner up to Sabine Lisicki last year. It

:49:05. > :49:08.is more than five years since Novak Djokovic failed to reach the final

:49:09. > :49:13.eight of a Grand Slam but Jo-Wilfried Tsonga knows his way

:49:14. > :49:21.round these courts, he is a two time semifinalist here. Those are on the

:49:22. > :49:25.show courts but so much action here on the second Monday. Stanislas

:49:26. > :49:32.Wawrinka, on Court Two macro, a third-round match. Court three is

:49:33. > :49:36.also on the red button and no surprise that between these two big

:49:37. > :49:51.servers, the set will be decided by a tie-break. Back to Court 12. Can

:49:52. > :50:05.she solve the problems? That was a little horrid. --

:50:06. > :50:59.hurried. That is the first set she has lost

:51:00. > :51:40.at these championships. I think you can say that she is up

:51:41. > :51:44.for this. Her father, so often, Wozniacki has been in the position

:51:45. > :51:49.to make the breakthrough and has not been able to take it, my remark

:51:50. > :52:40.about the father. It is looking a lot that way again.

:52:41. > :53:28.That is the coach, Jarreau and Adams. -- to Rome.

:53:29. > :53:35.Difficulty with Wozniacki on a point like this is she wants to hit the

:53:36. > :53:40.backhand but she weaves the court so open on her backhand side. -- she

:53:41. > :53:41.leaves. Most people would hit a forehand but Wozniacki is desperate

:53:42. > :54:05.to hit a backhand. Game point. I do not think it is too unkind to

:54:06. > :54:09.say that she really is exposing the limitations of Wozniacki.

:54:10. > :54:12.Absolutely, the better player here is the one creating pace off the

:54:13. > :54:15.ground, who is the one creating pace off the

:54:16. > :54:23.and folly, to slice and come in, drop shots, more variety -- serve

:54:24. > :54:28.and volley. Caroline Wozniacki has got to play in the set a type of

:54:29. > :54:33.game she really does not want to play but she will be forced to play

:54:34. > :54:35.if she is going to find her way back into this match, which is much more

:54:36. > :55:39.aggressively. That forehand is too short. Just

:55:40. > :55:44.inviting her opponent to the net. Caroline Wozniacki normally keeps

:55:45. > :55:48.tremendous depth because she does not have the pace on that side but

:55:49. > :55:51.she does use the court very well normally, not the case so far in

:55:52. > :56:49.this match today. That will do her a little good. The

:56:50. > :56:54.first time she has had her opponent on the run. Yes, this is what

:56:55. > :57:40.Wozniacki needs, more points like this.

:57:41. > :58:37.Better I some amount. -- I some amount.

:58:38. > :59:02.This forehand just caught the line. She had a good angle on it.

:59:03. > :59:10.That is a tremendous backhand. She had all the time in the world.

:59:11. > :59:16.Excellent preparation, a lot of steps, it could have gone either

:59:17. > :00:17.way. Wozniacki thought that was going across court.

:00:18. > :00:26.Sue Barker: We will be back on Court 12 to follow this much in a moment,

:00:27. > :00:33.but plenty is happening elsewhere. Including a victory for the 23rd

:00:34. > :00:38.seed, Lucie Safarova of the Czech republic. She beat Tereza Smitkova.

:00:39. > :01:11.Only on Court 4 28 minutes. the 10th seed, this match held over

:01:12. > :01:18.from Saturday, he defeated Simone Bolelli. This exciting talent from

:01:19. > :01:23.Japan is through to the fourth round. A couple of results

:01:24. > :01:30.Japan is through to the fourth round. A from early here on Monday.

:01:31. > :01:31.Let's head back to Court 12. -- a couple of results from early here on

:01:32. > :02:27.Monday. She turned defence into attack in

:02:28. > :03:05.that point. Looking to attack all the time.

:03:06. > :03:42.Strycova doing a The body language from dad says it

:03:43. > :04:26.all, unimpressed. Too good. A beautiful return of

:04:27. > :04:50.serve. The giant-killing from the other day

:04:51. > :04:54.from Li Na is continuing on Court 12. Li Na said she had not played

:04:55. > :04:59.enough tennis on grass. She did not go to Eastbourne. Wozniacki played

:05:00. > :05:11.well at Eastbourne but cannot get into the contest.

:05:12. > :06:10.They have been few and far between, the winners.

:06:11. > :06:17.Nearer and nearer the baseline, nearer and nearer the net, a point

:06:18. > :06:24.for the check. She just cannot unravel. Wozniacki cannot solve the

:06:25. > :06:27.problem here. She has only had one break point. That came in the first

:06:28. > :07:05.game of the match. Double fault number two. Wozniacki

:07:06. > :07:07.is yet serve one. Caroline Wozniacki has only served three double faults

:07:08. > :07:45.in the entire tournament. She was having a conversation with

:07:46. > :07:54.the umpire. I'm not sure what it was about.

:07:55. > :08:04.That is better depth. It has been a long time between drinks firm

:08:05. > :09:43.Caroline Wozniacki. That has been the story of the day

:09:44. > :09:45.for Wozniacki. When you think she's hitting the ball a bit better, just

:09:46. > :11:28.missing the line. chances. She really has to take this

:11:29. > :11:42.point. There was a foot fault call as well

:11:43. > :12:12.as the fault. SUE BARKER: The former world number

:12:13. > :12:17.one fighting back there. We will be back on court in a moment but a lot

:12:18. > :12:26.is happening here on Monday. Denis Istomin is a set and four games

:12:27. > :12:31.down. He has had the doctor on court. He said he was feeling

:12:32. > :12:36.lethargic. In trouble and feeling unwell so it is all going

:12:37. > :12:47.Wawrinka's way. And Wawrinka is now down. It is all happening out on

:12:48. > :12:53.Court Two. Stan is up. If you want to watch that match it is on the red

:12:54. > :13:02.button. The winner of that one plays the winner of this one. John Isner

:13:03. > :13:08.won the first set on a tie-break. He is a set up and it is on serve in

:13:09. > :13:16.the second. That is what is happening elsewhere. Back we go.

:13:17. > :13:23.I think if you had asked the crowd on Court 12, which of these players

:13:24. > :13:31.has won 21 titles and which has won only one, they would certainly have

:13:32. > :13:43.been wrong with the verdict on the evidence so far.

:13:44. > :13:48.Caroline Wozniacki who was number one for three years has now got back

:13:49. > :14:02.into this match. Can she make it count?

:14:03. > :14:26.Perfectly executed. Not an easy shot to hit.

:14:27. > :14:36.You need a little bit of fortune. That is the way she has got to play,

:14:37. > :15:21.surely? She tried the other way. That did not work.

:15:22. > :15:30.I think the applause is in part because the crowd want to see this

:15:31. > :15:39.contest go on and they want to see the real Wozniacki. They have had a

:15:40. > :15:40.few glimpses in the last two games. She is back to parity in the second

:15:41. > :17:07.set. Wozniacki is having to solve out

:17:08. > :17:12.here today. Is what has stopped her from winning a major, when she has

:17:13. > :17:14.the ability to hit as many winners as she needs to land her opponent

:17:15. > :17:32.can. -- and her opponent can. I think Wozniacki will surprise

:17:33. > :17:36.today even though they have played on three previous occasions.

:17:37. > :17:39.Wozniacki has won all three match ups. Never on a grass court. Twice

:17:40. > :18:12.on clay and once on a hard court. She would love to have that one back

:18:13. > :18:17.again. Just looking down at the ball bounce. Not quite timing it the way

:18:18. > :18:54.I would like. A good hold. But indications were

:18:55. > :18:59.clearly there and not before time that Wozniacki is prepared to be

:19:00. > :19:06.aggressive. That is why it was a good hold. There was a point there

:19:07. > :19:11.where Wozniacki had a ball up the line and she tried to do it a little

:19:12. > :19:21.bit more than she would normally do. Her opponent was forcing her to play

:19:22. > :19:25.like that. Strycova realised it was the possibility of Windsor. She has

:19:26. > :19:32.just got her nose back in front again.

:19:33. > :19:52.This is one of the great tennis players. I cannot call it the

:19:53. > :20:05.oldies, she is one of the legends. Wozniacki's father looks a little

:20:06. > :20:38.more animated now. No hesitation at all here. Strycova

:20:39. > :21:47.had such good net position. A little greys maybe. -- a greys.

:21:48. > :21:49.She is happy having a conversation with herself. A lot of the time in

:21:50. > :22:50.English, funnily enough. Accurately dispatched. Months of

:22:51. > :24:32.training. They do a terrific job. The first two points from errors at

:24:33. > :24:49.either end. That was a good call of fault from

:24:50. > :25:10.the chair. That was the first case for the

:25:11. > :27:13.match. -- ace. In that last rally, Wozniacki did

:27:14. > :27:18.everything she could. The other one just came up with the winning shot.

:27:19. > :27:21.It is the drop shot from this lady today which has been such an

:27:22. > :27:25.effective shot. She hit one very early in the match and then she hit

:27:26. > :27:31.another one which was terrible! Since the terrible one, it doesn't

:27:32. > :27:37.always go for the winner, does it? But it certainly sets up the point

:27:38. > :27:43.for her. She moves in after. She says, I will hit it short. Wozniacki

:27:44. > :27:48.has to open the racket face to get the ball over. Strycova was there to

:27:49. > :27:49.take advantage of her. A very effective shot it has been for her

:27:50. > :28:09.today. Caroline Wozniacki knowing full well

:28:10. > :28:12.she has to hold here. Otherwise, another Grand Slam will have come

:28:13. > :29:09.and gone for her. Terrific anticipation. She saw it

:29:10. > :29:12.coming. Look how far behind the baseline Strycova is there. She gets

:29:13. > :30:30.to this one easily. Tremendous footwork.

:30:31. > :30:37.accelerator from the start of this game. She has two match points

:30:38. > :31:35.against the number 16 seed. Good scrambling from Wozniacki, she

:31:36. > :31:46.was caught so deep. Just made it difficult enough.

:31:47. > :33:07.These drop shots are no surprise any more. Caroline Wozniacki knows that

:33:08. > :33:14.they are coming so she covered that. But the Czech lady is good enough to

:33:15. > :33:22.put that over Wozniacki who was charging to look for the crosscourt.

:33:23. > :33:35.Well played. This does not look too good. She took a slide at the back

:33:36. > :33:43.of the court. You all right?

:33:44. > :33:46.-- are you all right. An enquiry by Wozniacki. The umpire is out of the

:33:47. > :34:07.chair. UMPIRE: Macro advantage, miss

:34:08. > :34:08.Wozniacki. -- advantage. She is clearly all

:34:09. > :34:39.right. Credit to her, two match point saved

:34:40. > :34:44.and she was driving herself at the end to stay alive. That second match

:34:45. > :34:49.point, Wozniacki was pulled deep in the backhand court and Strycova was

:34:50. > :34:53.looking to charge, at the back of the net, and Wozniacki was good

:34:54. > :34:56.enough to make a play an awkward folly which she missed. -- to make

:34:57. > :36:33.her play. She generates good pace on this

:36:34. > :36:38.backhand side, Strycova. Again looking to come forward. Always

:36:39. > :37:32.seemingly having that extra punch. That is good. The pace of this line

:37:33. > :37:52.on that backhand, it was just enough.

:37:53. > :38:05.What a response to saving two match points.

:38:06. > :38:13.Sue Barker: Just one game away and we will be back on Court 12 in a

:38:14. > :38:21.moment. They are getting underway on the two big show courts. This is

:38:22. > :38:26.Alize Cornet and Eugenie Bouchard on Centre Court. Eugenie Bouchard is

:38:27. > :38:31.the rising star and she lost to Maria Sharapova at the French oak,

:38:32. > :38:38.she was 15 to one at the start and now ten to one -- the French Open.

:38:39. > :38:46.Up against a player who put out Serena Williams. That is on Centre

:38:47. > :38:52.Court. And on Court Number One,

:38:53. > :38:56.Court. Lisicki, last year's runner-up up,

:38:57. > :39:02.against Ana Ivanovic, a game held over from Saturday night, a third

:39:03. > :39:08.round match. It is one game-all and they will resume on Court One. We

:39:09. > :39:12.are joining Centre Court soon but not until the end of this set on

:39:13. > :39:17.Court 12, and it could be the end of the match.

:39:18. > :39:24.Caroline Wozniacki is looking to take this set into the tie-break.

:39:25. > :40:02.And into a final set. A little bit more on those forehands

:40:03. > :40:07.from Wozniacki. It is more her style, forcing her opponent into a

:40:08. > :40:43.mistake by keeping rally going. -- the rally.

:40:44. > :40:57.The same again. 30-love. Just losing it a little bit down here. She has

:40:58. > :41:02.had the two match points. She had that point but through excellent

:41:03. > :41:34.play from Caroline Wozniacki to stay in that point...

:41:35. > :43:01.She had a volley to put away and Wozniacki could not quite get it and

:43:02. > :43:22.it got a bit awkward. A little sign to her coach after

:43:23. > :43:32.that. And it is another match point. Right on the line for the serve. Her

:43:33. > :43:33.dad just saying, keep fighting. She knows no other way, in Caroline

:43:34. > :44:11.Wozniacki. -- Caroline Wozniacki. Immediately moving in again.

:44:12. > :44:20.Wozniacki desperately trying to get to it and once again, the 16th seed

:44:21. > :44:47.faces match point. A fourth opportunity for Strycova.

:44:48. > :44:54.She is saving her best for those match point when she is down,

:44:55. > :45:34.Wozniacki. Looking to be aggressive, moving forward, good first serve.

:45:35. > :45:43.That was a well played point, that backhand volley put it deep and

:45:44. > :45:54.awkward for Wozniacki. Match point number five.

:45:55. > :46:12.This is another first serve from Wozniacki. Possibly just a little

:46:13. > :46:43.bit cautious on that return. She just pushed it, that is just

:46:44. > :46:51.nerves. That was just nerves. 80 mph, trying to get it into the

:46:52. > :46:58.square. The racket head slowed down and that was the result.

:46:59. > :47:15.A double fault. It sets up the six match point. -- the sixth.

:47:16. > :47:31.It is out! And she has done it again!

:47:32. > :47:43.She cannot believe it. But she has deserved it, she has been the

:47:44. > :47:49.aggressor all the way through. And she had too much firepower for

:47:50. > :47:53.Wozniacki. And you do not say that too often. And too much for 80, and

:47:54. > :48:00.it is only fitting the match point came off a drop shot which stood her

:48:01. > :48:02.in good stead in this match. That is good to see for the sport of tennis.

:48:03. > :48:16.So Strycova is through. In one hour and 35-minute.

:48:17. > :48:21.Wozniacki's hopes once again go up in smoke.

:48:22. > :48:27.Sue Barker: That is the third seed in a row that Strycova has beaten

:48:28. > :48:38.here at Wimbledon. What a story! She is through to the next round to face

:48:39. > :48:42.either Petro pivot of Shuai Peng. On Centre Court, Andy Murray will be

:48:43. > :48:49.second on court against Kevin Anderson but first, it is Eugenie

:48:50. > :48:53.Bouchard against Alize Cornet caused a sensation of the tournament on

:48:54. > :49:00.Saturday, putting out Serena Williams. She reflects here on that

:49:01. > :49:07.magnificent win. The most important game of the

:49:08. > :49:12.career of Alize Cornet. I am not intimidated by anyone. I

:49:13. > :49:17.try not to focus too much on who I have the other side of the net. If

:49:18. > :49:21.you are focused on the championship is, you feel like you are nothing on

:49:22. > :49:30.the court so it is better to focus on what I have to do.

:49:31. > :49:39.I cannot believe that I did it myself am I beat Serena, the World

:49:40. > :49:43.Number 1. It is a dream and I have to realise it and I have to be ready

:49:44. > :49:48.for the next match because the tournament is not over for me.

:49:49. > :49:53.I am in disbelief, I did something huge on Court Number One in front of

:49:54. > :49:57.this amazing crowd so I have two enjoyed this victory because it does

:49:58. > :50:02.not happen very often -- I have two enjoy. At Wimbledon, on grass, to

:50:03. > :50:07.get to the second week, it is a dream. The biggest game of her

:50:08. > :50:12.career against the champion. It is ridiculous, I think! Because

:50:13. > :50:19.it means now I love the grass and I did not before!

:50:20. > :50:25.Eugenie Bouchard next, how do you prefer? She is definitely a talented

:50:26. > :50:29.player and she played amazing, especially at the beginning of the

:50:30. > :50:34.season. So it is going to be a huge challenge again. But I will try to

:50:35. > :50:38.do as usual, fighting on every point, trying my best and enjoying

:50:39. > :50:39.the moment, that is the most important.

:50:40. > :50:45.Yes! Perfection! Does that make you

:50:46. > :50:50.think, I have beaten the best player in the world, I am going to win

:50:51. > :50:55.this? No, never! It is such a long way to go, I am only in the fourth

:50:56. > :51:01.round and there are a lot of players that can win. It gives me hope to go

:51:02. > :51:04.further in the tournament but I do not see myself as the winner of

:51:05. > :51:07.Wimbledon yet, I am taking it match by match and that is the key of

:51:08. > :51:17.going forward. Sue Barker: It got tense against

:51:18. > :51:21.Serena Williams and she did hold her nerve, can she today? She is on

:51:22. > :51:27.Centre Court. On Court Number One, this match is held over from

:51:28. > :51:34.Saturday. Sabine Lisicki, on serve in the second against former World

:51:35. > :51:37.Number 1 Ana Ivanovic. That is on the red button. We are heading to

:51:38. > :51:46.the Eugenie Bouchard who has only been in the fourth round for the

:51:47. > :51:48.first time in a Grand Slam. It is one game-all and our commentators

:51:49. > :52:00.are Martina Navratilova and Chris. The main draw for the former

:52:01. > :52:04.Wimbledon champion a couple of years ago. Eugenie Bouchard against the

:52:05. > :52:19.French junior champion of 2007. We have two junior prodigies with

:52:20. > :52:24.one being in the thick of it. Bouchard has been -- one has been

:52:25. > :52:29.around a couple of years and Bouchard is improving all the time

:52:30. > :52:44.-- one. We have had a couple of break points. -- Alize Cornet. Great

:52:45. > :52:49.variety Cornet showed in the win against Serena Williams. She is a

:52:50. > :52:53.great thinker and a great fighter. She comes to the net despite herself

:52:54. > :52:56.will stop she did not want to and she plays a nice drop volley. --

:52:57. > :53:20.herself. We are still on serve. It is interesting, Martina, with

:53:21. > :53:24.Cornet winning that junior French championship in 2007, at the end the

:53:25. > :53:32.following year she was top 16 in the world. So much similar with Bouchard

:53:33. > :53:36.and her seamless move from juniors. Bouchard has definitely been on a

:53:37. > :53:40.long-term programme with her coach. Working on all aspects of her game.

:53:41. > :53:45.She has a great head on her shoulders and she treats the game

:53:46. > :53:46.professionally. She wants to be as good a player as possible. However

:53:47. > :54:04.long it takes. Bouchard going forward most of the

:54:05. > :54:10.time. This time, she is going sideways at the momentum is pretty

:54:11. > :54:14.good against the ball. You can see the big backswing and this is the

:54:15. > :54:19.more typical shot, return of serve. She takes it early and she puts her

:54:20. > :54:30.weight into the shot so she does not have to swing so hard but still have

:54:31. > :55:52.all the control. 1-2, Bouchard, after 14 minutes in the first set.

:55:53. > :56:05.No! A 4.5 hour delay on Saturday. Some people have come prepared. At

:56:06. > :56:17.least they will keep playing, that is a big comfort to them.

:56:18. > :56:32.That is good defence from Cornet. Bouchard gets stuck between the

:56:33. > :56:40.service line and the baseline and she did not commit to them that.

:56:41. > :56:44.Dashed to the net. Cornet does the right thing when she needs to. -- to

:56:45. > :57:05.the net. She is saying, what? The ball was

:57:06. > :57:08.out? She is making a challenge. I am convinced, are you? That is why

:57:09. > :57:32.there was no call. Amazing body position into the

:57:33. > :57:37.ground. Just some spots. Her coach, on a regular tournaments, he is

:57:38. > :57:43.allowed on Court Two allow advice and he talks constantly to Bouchard

:57:44. > :57:48.about one shot at a time, let alone one point at a time. It is a very

:57:49. > :58:00.clear message and he hardly ever talks tactics. The here and now.

:58:01. > :58:08.You can get down on yourself -- she can get down on herself, Bouchard.

:58:09. > :58:14.She is so driven and ambitious. That is a blessing and a curse in a

:58:15. > :58:20.perfectionist. Andy Murray has it, Novak Djokovic has it, we all have

:58:21. > :58:26.it. And Bouchard definitely expects a lot of herself. You have two

:58:27. > :58:29.expect a lot but let yourself off the hook and not get too much into

:58:30. > :58:33.the end result so you can stay in the moment and let go of the bad

:58:34. > :59:01.shot, because we all hit them. Look how low Bouchard stays here,

:59:02. > :59:11.just rotating her body weight behind the ball.

:59:12. > :59:24.That was too big a swing for a shot hit at the body. That is a rock! The

:59:25. > :59:30.petals will go further up with the rain around.

:59:31. > :59:44.On serve. With BBC Hawk-eye, Martina, we talked in the warm up

:59:45. > :59:48.about Cornet needing happy feet because Bouchard can get onto the

:59:49. > :59:58.return so early. Yes, you need to get ready at the biggest thing...

:59:59. > :00:04.Bouchard has not hit one ball behind the serve baseline on the return of

:00:05. > :00:09.serve, that is pretty ridiculous because that takes a lot of timing.

:00:10. > :00:14.Nobody has been able to serve hard enough to make her back away. As a

:00:15. > :00:20.server, the ball get there quicker so you have to back away quicker or

:00:21. > :00:25.just get set in your position to get ready for the shot because the

:00:26. > :00:28.danger of trying to get back fast, momentum will carry you backwards.

:00:29. > :00:34.So even if you are in position, momentum will hit you backwards and

:00:35. > :00:38.it is difficult to get a second shot. I prefer people to be in the

:00:39. > :00:43.wrong place but well-balanced than be in the right place at going in

:00:44. > :00:50.one direction or another because you are committed and you are a sitting

:00:51. > :00:56.duck, you are stuck. -- but going. It is better to be neutral and in

:00:57. > :00:57.the wrong place. Get ready for the next shot and you can go any

:00:58. > :01:16.direction. a former finalist, he lost to Stan

:01:17. > :01:31.Smith in 1972. And they are taking the covers. A wonderful job the

:01:32. > :01:38.teams do on all the courts. This is a big cover to unfurl. I guess they

:01:39. > :01:42.have extra people to pull it. They got a little more play than

:01:43. > :01:49.Saturday. About ten minutes before warrant a half hours was the delay.

:01:50. > :01:58.They are used to it, at least. It is frustrating for all concerned. When

:01:59. > :02:02.you come off, you talk to your coach right away, you get some poles of

:02:03. > :02:07.wisdom in case it starts raining quickly. Then you figure out how

:02:08. > :02:19.long the break will be approximately. Martina, we also

:02:20. > :02:24.discussed the Cornet, -- for Cornet, she had a win in Dubai. That was a

:02:25. > :02:28.huge win. The following day, she played Venus in the final and

:02:29. > :02:35.rescued three games. At least she had the day off on Sunday to get

:02:36. > :02:40.ready for today's big challenge. That helps mentally and physically.

:02:41. > :02:47.The match on Saturday was pretty rough. On the grass, you get more

:02:48. > :02:57.sore than other surfaces. It is good to have a day off to give your body

:02:58. > :03:02.arrest. A pretty high backswing. Now she is going up on the ball to hit

:03:03. > :03:11.it. That can be tricky. If you get up too high, that has covered the

:03:12. > :03:18.ball. I do not think she will be going up as high. It is a high ball

:03:19. > :03:36.so now she is on her tiptoes. There is Sir Al. Gamble to win was

:03:37. > :03:50.Sir Alex Ferguson's motto. He did some winning. -- there is Sir Alex

:03:51. > :03:56.Ferguson he does not need James Bond so much these days, Andy Murray. He

:03:57. > :04:03.can do it himself. It is nice to have some extra help. He's looking

:04:04. > :04:12.good this year, Andy Murray. Very calm and confident. The monkey is

:04:13. > :04:14.off his back, he can relax. Now the pressure is off and if he wins

:04:15. > :04:20.another one, it is the icing on the another one, it is the icing on the

:04:21. > :04:26.cake. The biggest pressure was lasted. 22 minutes and Cornet leads

:04:27. > :04:32.3-2. SUE BARKER: What a shame after just

:04:33. > :04:35.a short time on court. We do have the roof so if the rain will be

:04:36. > :04:40.persistent we will get someplace in. I do not think they will close

:04:41. > :04:45.the roof just yet because it is just a shower. There is quite a strong

:04:46. > :04:50.wind so we hope it will not be too long and players will be back in

:04:51. > :04:56.court soon. We have a lot to look forward to on the second Monday of

:04:57. > :04:57.the Championships. Coming up, the second chapter of Andy Murray's

:04:58. > :05:09.Wimbledon story. As he steps onto Centre Court,

:05:10. > :05:16.expectation is high. What a perfect start. Blaz Rola, he has admired

:05:17. > :05:21.Andy Murray for some time. Now he has got a chance. Murray is romping

:05:22. > :05:27.away with this one now. As comprehensive victory as are likely

:05:28. > :05:35.to see. That is so good of Spain has a chance of taking on the defending

:05:36. > :05:42.champion. -- Roberto Bautista Agut. A wonderful performance, it really

:05:43. > :05:46.was. SUE BARKER: What a performance it

:05:47. > :05:51.was from Andy Murray. Dropping 19 games en route to the fourth round.

:05:52. > :05:56.He is up against Kevin Anderson today, the big server from South

:05:57. > :06:03.Africa. Before the rain came down, Andy was on the practice court and

:06:04. > :06:07.Gary was watching. Mark, you are going to be

:06:08. > :06:13.commentating on Kevin later, how much of an advantage is his

:06:14. > :06:19.physique? That will help, no matter how well Andy plays out here but he

:06:20. > :06:24.will be looking to take his second serve. The disadvantage of playing

:06:25. > :06:26.Andy on a grass court, in any exchanges from the back of the

:06:27. > :06:32.court, Andy's ball comes very low. Being six foot eight and

:06:33. > :06:36.having to bend down, he will have to put a lot of spin on the ball. He

:06:37. > :06:41.said he will be very aggressive because that is when he is at his

:06:42. > :06:47.best? Yes, if Andy has continued to serve as well as he has in the first

:06:48. > :06:52.week, Kevin is not a guy who defends a big first serve. If there is able

:06:53. > :06:59.to be hit, expect him to come out there. What about the way he handled

:07:00. > :07:08.the occasion. Last week he played on court 17 with just two -- 200 people

:07:09. > :07:14.watching. It will be different. He is a guy who has worked his life for

:07:15. > :07:23.this opportunity. I expect him to try and take it well. Thank you.

:07:24. > :07:29.That is the scene at Wimbledon. Not just a shower, a heavy shower.

:07:30. > :07:31.Luckily, the players got their practice in before the rain came

:07:32. > :07:37.down. We can hear from Kevin Anderson.

:07:38. > :07:40.You shortly walk out onto Centre Court and by way of preparation you

:07:41. > :07:48.have walked from the locker room and taken some photographs. I went there

:07:49. > :07:53.yesterday. It is nice to get some familiarity with it so I know what

:07:54. > :07:58.it will look like when I come out. What was that walk like for you? It

:07:59. > :08:05.was special. It is an amazing place to play and I'm sure it will be more

:08:06. > :08:17.amazing with a packed stadium. Seeing the champions up on the board

:08:18. > :08:23.and the trophy was quite special. Do you have a list perhaps? I am sure

:08:24. > :08:28.it will be a great atmosphere out there. The better atmosphere, the

:08:29. > :08:34.more fun it is playing there. It is great to feel part of that. I am

:08:35. > :08:38.sure it will be a good crowd and I will be ready for it. Last week you

:08:39. > :08:42.said you would be aggressive because that is when you play your best

:08:43. > :08:47.tennis? I will stick with what I need to do to play my best tennis. A

:08:48. > :08:53.lot of the game will be the way I have been playing the whole week so

:08:54. > :08:58.far. Thank you for stopping by and had luck.

:08:59. > :09:05.He is probably pleased he had a couple of days. The rain is throwing

:09:06. > :09:10.it down here at Wimbledon. It is much heavier than we have been

:09:11. > :09:15.anticipating. We have heard from the referee's office that they are going

:09:16. > :09:26.to close the roof on Centre Court. So Cornet against Bouchard will

:09:27. > :09:31.continue under the roof will stop. In the meantime we will take you to

:09:32. > :09:36.a match that was played earlier, Feliciano Lopez against John Isner.

:09:37. > :09:46.This is a third-round match. We can join it in the second set. Isner has

:09:47. > :09:47.won it on the tie-break. The commentators are Mark Cox and Simon

:09:48. > :10:56.Reade. A nice little rally that one, good

:10:57. > :11:00.skill. Certainly was. Isner anticipated well. He moved before

:11:01. > :11:10.Lopez had even hit the ball. Another love service game. It is

:11:11. > :12:14.three games each. Not returning as well. He read that.

:12:15. > :12:38.Way, way long. A huge kick on the second serve and

:12:39. > :12:58.he is in front again. The last four games have been

:12:59. > :13:06.totally dominated by serve. It is the dilemma how you get the ball

:13:07. > :13:15.back with a degree of interests or at least you have got a chance of

:13:16. > :13:22.winning the point. Lopez looks like he has strained his left ankle. Some

:13:23. > :13:30.players have some support there, they wear supports underneath the

:13:31. > :13:38.socks. I think the shoes that they wear these days with the pimples

:13:39. > :13:44.actually applaud the court and very often, you need support around the

:13:45. > :13:51.ankles, just so you can change direction quickly. They have to

:13:52. > :13:54.conform to They can be too large because otherwise they will dig up

:13:55. > :14:02.the court. -- they have to conform to specifications. A lovely sight of

:14:03. > :14:54.Wimbledon in full flow. Not an easy shot but look at the

:14:55. > :16:01.depth of it. Lopez winning 84% points behind his

:16:02. > :16:55.first serve. No problem at all. The second set is

:16:56. > :17:10.racing through just as quick as the first set.

:17:11. > :17:18.Well and truly dominated by serve. Some good second shots being played.

:17:19. > :17:24.There have been some very good second shots which of course are

:17:25. > :17:29.also important in the game. The service the main thing that opens up

:17:30. > :17:35.the court and creates the opportunity is to be assertive and

:17:36. > :17:42.aggressive. The second set is pretty dominant as well. Lopez is not as

:17:43. > :17:50.powerful. Very well placed. In a way, Isner serving first has a

:17:51. > :17:58.marginal advantage. If he can just get the first and second points, the

:17:59. > :18:04.pressure will increase on Lopez. For him to get the first or second

:18:05. > :18:08.point, it has not happened so far in the match, it is quite a tall order.

:18:09. > :18:12.The question is whether Lopez starts to think about the situation and

:18:13. > :18:16.starts to get a bit tense. The arm can get a bit tight, maybe, that can

:18:17. > :21:16.affect things. He has pushed it wide. Here are the

:21:17. > :22:07.first break points of the match for either player.

:22:08. > :22:19.He waited until Lopez had made his move. That was a good first serve.

:22:20. > :22:22.Lopez did well to get back into play. Not enough on it to be a

:22:23. > :23:01.problem for Isner. Well played. Still in this game,

:23:02. > :23:04.Lopez. Another great effort by Lopez. He looked like he was going

:23:05. > :23:36.crosscourt but he hooked it down the line.

:23:37. > :24:11.He waves the fist at last. Another chance.

:24:12. > :24:29.What a second serve. 109 mph, out wide. Frustrating for Lopez.

:24:30. > :24:52.He is taking his time, I don't blame him.

:24:53. > :25:06.The move in does the trick. Isner not coping well.

:25:07. > :26:33.The most interesting game of the match. Yes, the most exciting game.

:26:34. > :26:39.One has emotions watching Lopez here. When he got into the rally he

:26:40. > :26:44.did exactly the right thing. He got himself a situation where he could

:26:45. > :26:50.chip and charge, come into the net, put the pressure on Isner and he won

:26:51. > :26:56.four break points. What he has been waiting for the entire match, and

:26:57. > :27:00.the response from Isner has been some good serving. You have to

:27:01. > :27:08.contemplate him -- compliment him on the serving. It was a second serve

:27:09. > :27:14.out wide. That was the best opportunity that Lopez had. At least

:27:15. > :27:20.he connected with him. It will be frustrating for him. He got so

:27:21. > :27:24.close. In the first set tie-break he had a glimmer of opportunity. This

:27:25. > :27:34.match is not doing him too many favours at the moment. His mind has

:27:35. > :27:35.got been -- got to be refocused now. He has got a chance in the

:27:36. > :28:31.tie-break. Beautiful. The roles reversed there.

:28:32. > :28:36.What an exquisite shot from Lopez. The right tactic to come into the

:28:37. > :28:39.net but this is glorious really. He did so well to control that. It is

:28:40. > :29:15.so low. A superb drop shot. That is good serving form for Lopez

:29:16. > :29:22.to go into the break-up. A second successive break up.

:29:23. > :29:45.The first one was ten points to eight to Isner.

:29:46. > :31:21.This would have been more of a shot down the line. This is easy for him.

:31:22. > :31:33.Electric speed from Lopez but a good volley from Isner.

:31:34. > :31:41.A super rally here and he does well to fend off that backhand volley.

:31:42. > :32:02.Moving quickly for a big man at the net.

:32:03. > :32:21.It is amazing Isner's lack of success here, never a second round.

:32:22. > :32:23.It is just coincidence. He has had injuries one way or another and he

:32:24. > :32:29.had an injury this year in Australia, a foot injury. He had to

:32:30. > :32:33.pull out of the Australian Open. He has been plagued with that but to --

:32:34. > :32:54.but it is surprising. Lopez is on his toes. One of these

:32:55. > :33:08.next two points could be decisive for him.

:33:09. > :33:22.He has got the opportunity with a second serve now.

:33:23. > :33:37.Goodness gracious! That backhand was really good into the corner. It was

:33:38. > :33:40.a final rally, that was decisive. It was high, he has plenty of time to

:33:41. > :34:01.think about it and heap or phrases that ball! -- pulveriser is.

:34:02. > :34:12.Yes! Tremendous! A good rally from both guys. Isner did fine but Lopez

:34:13. > :34:18.eyed up that pass and will it be the crucial moment in this set? Williams

:34:19. > :34:23.play, both players playing well. -- great play. A superb forehand down

:34:24. > :34:28.the line and he does more damage with the forehand and the backhand

:34:29. > :34:33.and that is a fine shot. It gives him the initiative. He got the break

:34:34. > :34:42.in the first tie-break and he was not able to convert. This is an

:34:43. > :34:51.important point here for Lopez. The body serve comes up trumps. Two set

:34:52. > :35:14.points for Feliciano Lopez. This is the one that matters.

:35:15. > :35:27.Again, it did the trick. Lopez is unhinged. That is right on the line.

:35:28. > :35:35.There was chalked. It was so close, he was tempted that she would be

:35:36. > :35:37.tempted to call for Hawk-eye -- he would be tempted to call for

:35:38. > :35:58.Hawk-eye. Now it is Isner. 137 mph, his quickest serve so far

:35:59. > :36:06.and is two set points have been saved. -- and two. It is unfortunate

:36:07. > :36:13.for Lopez because he has had the run of play. Four break points on the

:36:14. > :36:16.Isner serve. He had set points in the first set the tie-break. -- set

:36:17. > :36:49.point. Yes! Lucky! Right on the extremity.

:36:50. > :36:55.And he puts up his hair -- his hands an apology because Isner seems to

:36:56. > :37:00.have control. But it was the only thing that would work! Not a clean

:37:01. > :37:11.hit but he managed to get back almost like a squash shot. He has

:37:12. > :37:13.got another set points. On his serve, set points number three. --

:37:14. > :37:38.another set point. He deserves it. Nothing to choose

:37:39. > :37:50.between the two of them. Two tie-breaks. One each. And judging by

:37:51. > :38:01.the response of the crowd, I feel it is only just Lopez got that set. --

:38:02. > :38:13.they feel. Significant applause. The stats are extraordinary. 91, 70

:38:14. > :38:17.Isner. Note double faults. Lopez normally serves double faults and he

:38:18. > :38:23.has not today -- and no double faults. And no on unforced errors

:38:24. > :38:31.for Lopez. Very solid play. -- no unforced errors. It is time to take

:38:32. > :38:41.stock and have a bit of lunch. We thought this match might go to five.

:38:42. > :38:44.It very well might. He will feel justified now.

:38:45. > :38:53.Yes, he has played good forehand shots, Lopez. That has been the shot

:38:54. > :38:57.that has made the difference. He has gone for them will stop he has

:38:58. > :39:04.played a couple of others which have been critical. De she has gone for

:39:05. > :39:15.them. That has posed Robins for Isner. -- problems. And in one game,

:39:16. > :39:19.Lopez had more points than he had in the entire match he still did not

:39:20. > :39:24.break. That must have been frustrating for him but he kept his

:39:25. > :39:28.presence of mind and his focus in the tie-break and he maintains high

:39:29. > :39:48.quality play when it matters most. After the one and a half hours, we

:39:49. > :39:57.move to set number three. -- after one and a half hours.

:39:58. > :40:02.We outlined the danger for Isner at the start of the second set. He has

:40:03. > :41:16.got to be careful now. A magnificent return from Isner.

:41:17. > :41:23.Impossible for Lopez to get a decent second shot. Playing a good game. A

:41:24. > :41:39.fine return at the feet of Lopez and he did well to control it.

:41:40. > :42:38.If it had been one inch higher, that would have been a winner.

:42:39. > :42:52.Yes! It was a tricky shot. And again, he had the talent to make it,

:42:53. > :43:01.Lopez. Lopez had to work hard to hold his serve. He was under a

:43:02. > :43:09.little bit of threat. That was the first game of a set and it very

:43:10. > :43:14.often can be critical, especially if you are not fully concentrating.

:43:15. > :43:18.Isner had certainly raised his concentration and he got most of his

:43:19. > :43:26.serves backhand he was in with a chance on every point. -- and he

:43:27. > :44:17.was. Three of them have, on second

:44:18. > :44:23.serves, those 25 aces. -- have come on Ulster --. A good percentage of

:44:24. > :44:45.the points are aces. Yes! A good-looking second shot from

:44:46. > :44:51.Isner but Lopez was not having it. A delicious backhand, he does not hit

:44:52. > :45:04.too many flat shots, he prefers the slice.

:45:05. > :46:42.Isner's style has not dropped, still nothing to choose between them.

:46:43. > :47:01.Returns like that are few and far between.

:47:02. > :47:17.Serves like that very much in evidence and Lopez goes to two Lopez

:47:18. > :47:20.-- tattoo -1. -- to 2-1. Normal service has been resumed, it is fair

:47:21. > :47:33.to say. The crowd are enjoying this match. It is nice and warm, no need

:47:34. > :47:38.for heavy clothing. We have been very fortunate with the weather so

:47:39. > :47:44.far. Bits of sunshine from time to time, mainly overcast. The forecast

:47:45. > :47:53.is reasonable this afternoon. Maybe the occasional shower. There is a

:47:54. > :48:00.big cloud looming. Crossing fingers! And it has just started raining,

:48:01. > :48:05.very light. Nothing to take the players off at the moment. But there

:48:06. > :48:11.is an isolated cloud that is coming overhead.

:48:12. > :48:25.That is the cult hit. -- culprit. The energy dissipated out of the

:48:26. > :48:32.match is of the lengthy first two sets. Every book on -- everybody is

:48:33. > :48:34.regarding this like the warm up. It heightened with the end of that

:48:35. > :49:21.second set, very entertaining. That is the shot that has been

:49:22. > :50:29.missing too often for Isner. 28 successive games, we have had,

:50:30. > :50:34.with no breaks of serve. A bit more rain. They are going to carry on.

:50:35. > :50:37.with no breaks of serve. A bit more rain. They are Eating close to going

:50:38. > :50:41.off, I would think. -- getting close. I am not sure they would go

:50:42. > :50:48.off, they would probably just wait. The ground staff are poised. They

:50:49. > :51:26.will cover the court if necessary. Umbrellas going got now, the rain is

:51:27. > :51:34.getting a little bit harder. -- going up.

:51:35. > :51:45.This could be a crucial point. He stood his ground well here, Isner.

:51:46. > :52:05.He blocks that ball down the line. A critical point for Lopez.

:52:06. > :52:13.Now it is raining pretty hard. If it carries on like this, there is a

:52:14. > :52:32.doubt they will carry on much longer.

:52:33. > :52:50.He has missed it! A shot he makes 99 times out of 100. Two break points

:52:51. > :52:59.for Isner. His first break points of the match.

:53:00. > :53:28.Again, he guessed right but he could not get the execution.

:53:29. > :53:42.It just kept ongoing. He must have felt there was a hole in his racket!

:53:43. > :53:48.This is a glorious serve, 108 mph. I do not know why he missed that, he

:53:49. > :53:50.was within striking distance. The slice moved the ball wide, I

:53:51. > :54:00.suppose. The rain has eased. Isner is giving himself a hard time,

:54:01. > :54:36.he has had chances. It is a lovely shot! Beautiful

:54:37. > :54:42.control from the American. Yes, he has the angle to play with here but

:54:43. > :54:46.not enough penetration on that approach shot. It was too short and

:54:47. > :55:22.that gave Isner the chance to play the crosscourt.

:55:23. > :55:31.He was hanging on and Isner will feel he should have made his move,

:55:32. > :55:36.but it did not happen and Lopez is in front again.

:55:37. > :55:39.Sue Barker: That is where rain stopped play on Court three and the

:55:40. > :55:40.players are still in the locker room. It is looking

:55:41. > :55:43.players are still in the locker room. It is brighter here at

:55:44. > :55:45.players are still in the locker room. It is brighter here Wimbledon

:55:46. > :55:51.and the rain has moved away. We have sunshine at the moment but we are

:55:52. > :55:55.hearing that it will not be any player on the outside courts until

:55:56. > :56:00.at least 2:45 p.m.. There is play under the roof on Centre Court and

:56:01. > :56:08.you can see that on BBC One where it is 5-games all -- where it is five

:56:09. > :56:16.games each between Eugenie Bouchard and Alize Cornet. That is over on

:56:17. > :56:20.BBC One. But the good news here, the covers are coming off the outside

:56:21. > :56:26.courts so hopefully we will get play in about 15, 20 minutes. Carol is

:56:27. > :56:31.outside, is it going to be one of those days again of on and off?

:56:32. > :56:36.I think so, yes. Over the next couple of hours, we are looking at

:56:37. > :56:41.further showers. Not as heavy but they will be here. They are moving

:56:42. > :56:48.smartly and we are looking at sunny spells. Maximum temperature in the

:56:49. > :56:51.sunshine around 20 Celsius with a gentle breeze and it does feel

:56:52. > :56:59.pretty nice will stop tomorrow is very similar. -- and nice. A lot of

:57:00. > :57:04.dry weather with sunny spells but we cannot rule out showers, but at

:57:05. > :57:09.least they are keeping pollen levels lower.

:57:10. > :57:14.Always good news, and what a shame I was telling Rafael Nadal it will be

:57:15. > :57:19.better weather this week. Some results to you and another big

:57:20. > :57:23.upset. The 16th seed and former world number 111 macro is out,

:57:24. > :57:30.beaten by Barbora Zahlavova Strycova of the Czech Republic -- Wells

:57:31. > :57:38.number one, Caroline Wozniacki. The third seed she has put -- the third

:57:39. > :57:42.seed she has put out in a role -- in a row. That is the story here at

:57:43. > :57:50.Wimbledon. No problems for the number five seed Stanislas Wawrinka,

:57:51. > :57:53.straight sets over Denis Istomin who was struggling and he had the doctor

:57:54. > :57:59.on court because he was not feeling well. This is a third round match

:58:00. > :58:05.and it is not yet decided. Hawk-eye needs to confirm. That is in, so

:58:06. > :58:13.Stanislas Wawrinka is through to face either Lopez or Isner. And this

:58:14. > :58:21.match was held over from Saturday. They resumed in the fifth and final

:58:22. > :58:28.set and it was won by the 10th seed. He is the first Japanese man

:58:29. > :58:37.into the top ten, Kei Nishikori, he is having a great year at Wimbledon.

:58:38. > :58:42.He will be back in court tomorrow. And Peter Fleming is here with me.

:58:43. > :58:46.We thought it was going to be so nice today after Saturday and they

:58:47. > :58:51.would be playing catch up but it is getting tricky with the draw.

:58:52. > :59:00.Thankfully, it looks clear again and Lopez and Isner really needs to

:59:01. > :59:06.finish otherwise it is complete chaos. As it is, three guys might

:59:07. > :59:12.have to play three days in a row and that is rough if you are playing

:59:13. > :59:19.best of five. Hopefully they will finish and they can get back on

:59:20. > :59:23.schedule by Wednesday. With their serving statistics, they are two of

:59:24. > :59:28.the best servers, this has tie-breaks written all over it. It

:59:29. > :59:35.could be a three-day match in its own right. Isner is used to that.

:59:36. > :59:38.John McEnroe was talking about how because some matches did not get

:59:39. > :59:45.through in the bottom half, the whole bottom half is held up so

:59:46. > :59:51.32-year-old Roger Federer may have to play back-to-back matches. That

:59:52. > :59:54.is rough for him and Rafael Nadal and we do not know how he is feeling

:59:55. > :00:00.but it seems in all his matches, he does not look comfortable walking.

:00:01. > :00:04.He still runs around the court but I would not be surprised if he is

:00:05. > :00:10.feeling a bit of pain, we do not know, he has always had a day off.

:00:11. > :00:13.If he plays two days in a row, does that affect him? I do not know, it

:00:14. > :00:30.is an interesting perspective. of his matches. Yes, so we assume,

:00:31. > :00:35.we look at Rafa and say well, he is a God. He never gets tired, he

:00:36. > :00:39.never, well, you know, he just overcomes everything, but at some

:00:40. > :00:48.point, you would have to think, well, sometimes it just might get to

:00:49. > :00:53.be too much. What a match up he has against Nick Kyrgios, who saved nine

:00:54. > :00:58.match point against Gasquet. He is is a huge story. The Aussies have

:00:59. > :01:04.high hopes for him. You know, does he have enough game to test Rafa?

:01:05. > :01:10.You never know. Gosh, it's, the tennis, Sue, that, the three guys to

:01:11. > :01:17.play Nadal, you know, for at least a set, have been so extraordinary, I

:01:18. > :01:22.mean really, that set that you know, I forget, I commentated on it. I

:01:23. > :01:31.forget who he played yesterday, or Saturday, it was. Any way, doesn't

:01:32. > :01:36.matter, he was great. He was awesome, hitting winners left, right

:01:37. > :01:41.and centre, the problem is that the lesser players, they can't keep it

:01:42. > :01:46.up for the best of five sets is. One set, yes, then it becomes stressful.

:01:47. > :01:51.For Rafa, we see, he gets better and better as the tournament goes on,

:01:52. > :01:58.doesn't he? He does, as the matches go on and the tournament goes on, in

:01:59. > :02:02.Paris he looked a little shaky the opening rounds but by the end he was

:02:03. > :02:08.awesome. Are you still confident, because I think you picked him?

:02:09. > :02:13.Yeah, think he is the favourite. Just because he he has that awkward

:02:14. > :02:23.game. There is something about it that just is, is difficult. You

:02:24. > :02:27.know, a guy like Raonic, should she come through and play Rafa in the

:02:28. > :02:32.quarter-finals, it could be a wild card. If you can't see the ball, how

:02:33. > :02:37.will you return it. Absolutely. That is Rafa, but what about Andy Murray?

:02:38. > :02:41.Well, he has just cruised through the -- opening week. He has only

:02:42. > :02:48.dropped 19 games. Let us remind ourselves of that.

:02:49. > :02:52.So Wimbledon is under way, the weather is glorious, there is so

:02:53. > :02:55.much excitement here today, a buzz round the ground, that is because

:02:56. > :03:01.Britain's Wimbledon champion is on court.

:03:02. > :03:08.Expect fashion is high as Murray gets defence of his Wimbledon title

:03:09. > :03:13.under way. Game Murray. Stunning defence from

:03:14. > :03:18.Murray. It is like he has never left this court.

:03:19. > :03:30.First game Murray. The ideal day, ideal start to his defence.

:03:31. > :03:37.What a start to the defence of his title here as SW19. A very high

:03:38. > :03:42.standard of match. He was maybe a bit nervous at beginning. Glad to

:03:43. > :03:49.finish it in three because he was playing so well. Blaz Rola, he

:03:50. > :03:55.admired Andy Murray for some time, now he gets the chance to down the

:03:56. > :04:01.defending champion. It is running away fast. Too hot for Blaz Rola to

:04:02. > :04:05.handle. Murray is romping away with this one

:04:06. > :04:11.now. So good, so easy Blaz Rola has been,

:04:12. > :04:16.blown away. The Murray machine rumbles on. No

:04:17. > :04:21.trouble, no fuss. It was tough for him. He didn't have

:04:22. > :04:24.much grass court experience, he will improve. I took care of my serve

:04:25. > :04:31.pretty well throughout the majority of the match and played well. So how

:04:32. > :04:36.does it feel to be a tennis player? . It feels good. A nice job to have,

:04:37. > :04:45.we get to travel the world and play in nice stadiums and stuff. It's

:04:46. > :04:49.good. Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain has

:04:50. > :04:54.the task of taking on the defending champion and a few of his friends

:04:55. > :04:59.here in Centre Court. These early skirmishes are

:05:00. > :05:07.interesting, the Murray slice backhand. This is what we expected.

:05:08. > :05:14.He is beginning to have that aura of inVince built. Great shot. The man

:05:15. > :05:22.that Murray is dismantle here is 23rd in the world. Just superb. As

:05:23. > :05:26.Andy Murray stays in for the second week at the championships. Wonderful

:05:27. > :05:30.performance. It was. It was a step up. I felt like I responded well.

:05:31. > :05:42.There were a few things I could do better but it has been a good week,

:05:43. > :05:47.now I can rest up and be fresh. He can certainly rest up, he hasn't

:05:48. > :05:52.been for court in six hours yet. Tracey is here, we will talk more

:05:53. > :05:57.about Andy in a moment, but, let us drop in on Centre Court, because

:05:58. > :06:03.they are now in the first set tie-break, hope you enjoyed that,

:06:04. > :06:07.with Bouchard is leading 4-1 in that first set tie-break against Alize

:06:08. > :06:11.Cornet, the player who put out Serena Williams on Saturday. So that

:06:12. > :06:17.match is under the roof on Centre Court on BBC One. We are here play

:06:18. > :06:20.is likely to get under way on outside courts at quarter to, so

:06:21. > :06:26.hopefully ten minutes time. So Tracey, we are looking there at Andy

:06:27. > :06:30.Murray, his, his easiest first week since he started, but when you look

:06:31. > :06:35.at who he has played. They have been the easiest matches, or match ups

:06:36. > :06:38.for him. There have, but I think it would be difficult to come back here

:06:39. > :06:46.and defend, you know, because again there is so many eyes on him. I

:06:47. > :06:52.think Andy, you know, he is in his mid twenties, he is used to the ways

:06:53. > :06:56.of this country, and most expectations were lifted when he won

:06:57. > :07:00.the US Open, a few years back, won the Olympics here and finally won

:07:01. > :07:08.the World Championship last year, so I think that he is feeling like, OK,

:07:09. > :07:14."Even if I never won anything else... Qch qch of course he has

:07:15. > :07:18.worked hard, he knows he has an incredible career, he has a tough

:07:19. > :07:23.goal last year with the back injury. People forget what a tracky

:07:24. > :07:29.situation that can be, it was back surgery, not just a bad back. Coming

:07:30. > :07:32.back this year, it took him a while to feel comfortable and have

:07:33. > :07:38.confidence his back wouldn't bother him. It is great to see, just with

:07:39. > :07:42.the press and with Kim and with his mum and everything seems to be going

:07:43. > :07:46.well for him. He seems to be handling it, because we go back

:07:47. > :07:52.ability six, seven years when he sthrugled with the press. -- about.

:07:53. > :07:57.-- when he struggled with the press. Now he seems really comfortable in

:07:58. > :08:00.his own skin. And you being American, you see what pressure we

:08:01. > :08:05.put on players over here, it is like no other country. He was brought in,

:08:06. > :08:10.you know, coming from Scotland and going to Barcelona to train, like,

:08:11. > :08:15.wow, straight into the spotlight. Exactly right, and he has, he has

:08:16. > :08:19.handled it well throughout. But especially now as Tracey said, after

:08:20. > :08:24.winning last year, he looks so relaxed. He looks comfortable,

:08:25. > :08:29.whatever, what do you want? OK, fine. That is another thing that

:08:30. > :08:35.Amelie Mauresmo could understand. You bring up the US, we have had so

:08:36. > :08:39.many champion, not to much any more, there was always someone to share it

:08:40. > :08:45.with, whereas Amelie Mauresmo can understand, and she didn't play her

:08:46. > :08:48.best, she won his new coach, she won in Australia and here at Wimbledon,

:08:49. > :08:53.away from the French Open t where all the eyes and expectations were,

:08:54. > :08:57.they have so many things they can compare and she can help him with.

:08:58. > :09:02.He looks relaxed on the practise court, just getting ready, something

:09:03. > :09:08.come back where you have helpy memory, you are staying at home, you

:09:09. > :09:14.have won the tournament. He looks really come fortable in himself. 16

:09:15. > :09:19.matches in a row, that doesn't hurt, that he has won conspecktively. He

:09:20. > :09:23.is attack, coming forward. Maybe a question mark on a second of second

:09:24. > :09:29.serves in the last match. You can't fault his play. He is so strong. He

:09:30. > :09:34.hits the ball now, so much harder than he did five years ago, but he

:09:35. > :09:39.looks just out on the court as though you can't push him off

:09:40. > :09:43.balance, you know, he moves so well on this surface, and because, I

:09:44. > :09:46.don't know, he understands it better than most guys, he's hitting the

:09:47. > :09:52.ball confidently, and going after it, as you say. And he has such a

:09:53. > :09:58.good record against the big serves, is he is best return or Novak? It is

:09:59. > :10:02.tough for me to say who is the best. Lit us say one of the best with

:10:03. > :10:06.Novak, that is because his hands, the creativity he has, the

:10:07. > :10:10.combination of the great hands, the great feet, I mean Andy is one of

:10:11. > :10:14.the best defensive player, that means getting that extra ball back

:10:15. > :10:20.in play, he is out of the offence now, he has the creativity on court,

:10:21. > :10:23.and he gives his mum a lot of credit for that, Judy, she was always

:10:24. > :10:29.talking about the full court. So many of the players play a similar

:10:30. > :10:34.style of play now, where just linear, it's the same trajectory all

:10:35. > :10:38.the time. Andy uses the angles. Is slice, not just the slice that is

:10:39. > :10:42.deep, but the slice that is low and short, you know, the nasty one we

:10:43. > :10:47.hate so much that we have to dig out from the grass, and that is one

:10:48. > :10:51.thing to teach it, but another to have the creativity mentally to be

:10:52. > :10:56.able to see the full court, and it is fun to watch Andy, because of the

:10:57. > :11:03.different spins, paces, and kind of lull you into sleeping and boom, he

:11:04. > :11:08.has the power as well. He must be horrible to play. He competitive but

:11:09. > :11:19.not just on a tennis court. O over the rain delays and weekend we have

:11:20. > :11:24.been running the Copa-Uppy. Andy got involved and look how impressive.

:11:25. > :11:30.This is his first go. 78 we scored and that was him top of the

:11:31. > :11:36.leaderboard. Seedorf in second. Mark Petchey in third on nine. He was

:11:37. > :11:39.doing the can-can in his ones. Let us see some more challenges --

:11:40. > :12:14.challengers wanting to take it up. Cup.

:12:15. > :12:18.-- the. Cup.

:12:19. > :12:27.-- Can I catch it each time? My knee. That was one with the toe.

:12:28. > :13:37.On your mark. Get set, go. Andy Murray. Keep practising!

:13:38. > :13:41.So right to the top of the leader board goes Mr Henman, our BBC

:13:42. > :13:46.commentary team is leading the way, but we do hear that Andy Murray

:13:47. > :13:52.wants to have another go. Ten Henman is so extraordinary, he and Andrew

:13:53. > :14:00.Richardson, another guy, a former player, way back when, headed the

:14:01. > :14:08.ball back-and-forth 996 times. No! I swear. He is sick. He is demented.

:14:09. > :14:13.He can't stop himself. That was half an hour Tim Henman got that. They

:14:14. > :14:18.were flying into the copier and he was throwing the drawer, he was in a

:14:19. > :14:23.suit to start off. He said that buzz his second try. That is not true, I

:14:24. > :14:29.was there, he had to take a shower after that. Talk about competitive.

:14:30. > :14:36.He was so upset, he... He joined me court side. I said "What have you

:14:37. > :14:42.been doing?" He was sweating buckets. He said I have been doing

:14:43. > :14:47.Copa-Uppy. We have been asking you to send in your clips as we will

:14:48. > :14:51.show some of those later on. There is one exceptional young lad, we

:14:52. > :14:55.will see, who I have a feeling is going to be top of the leaderboard.

:14:56. > :15:00.More from that later on, this is the scene outside. It looks a lot nicer

:15:01. > :15:07.now, even blue sky round Wimbledon, so players should be getting on the

:15:08. > :15:12.outside courts very very soon. But over on Centre Court play continues

:15:13. > :15:16.under the roof. Just a few moments ago, here is Eugenie Bouchard with

:15:17. > :15:20.set point in the tie-break. Taking the first set tie-break seven points

:15:21. > :15:27.to five. In 56 minutes. Bouchard takes the

:15:28. > :15:31.opening set. That match is live over on BBC One. And here come the

:15:32. > :15:31.players opening set. That match is live over

:15:32. > :15:32.on BBC One. And here come the for Court One, boy,

:15:33. > :15:37.on BBC One. And here come the for Court One, they have been on court a

:15:38. > :15:40.while. They started on Saturday evening. Came back,

:15:41. > :15:44.while. They started on Saturday completed a few games this

:15:45. > :15:48.afternoon, but on they come again. Ana Ivanovic wasn't happy about

:15:49. > :15:53.being made to play in the dark on Saturday evening but Lisicki has a

:15:54. > :15:59.set up, but it is 5-2 to Ivanovic in the second set. That looks as if

:16:00. > :16:02.that may go the distance. The winner will be back again tomorrow. Tracey

:16:03. > :16:06.you have been watching, you have been watching that match. It is a

:16:07. > :16:11.tough match up between the two. It is. Ivanovic came up today, she

:16:12. > :16:15.faced a break point, that first game, and that was really important

:16:16. > :16:19.for her, she came one a big serve out wide. That is really important

:16:20. > :16:22.for her to get that first game, because Lisicki is so dangerous on

:16:23. > :16:27.grass, we know that this is where Lisicki plays her best tennis, a

:16:28. > :16:30.finalist last year, a semifinalist the year before, it is tough to

:16:31. > :16:34.break her serve, she has one of the most powerful serves on court, but

:16:35. > :16:38.Ivanovic is playing so much better this year, much more confident and

:16:39. > :16:43.dangerous with her forehand, and her serve is more reliable. It is great

:16:44. > :16:48.to see her getting back to her best. But Lisicki, like Murray, thrives

:16:49. > :16:52.here coming to Wimbledon. She loves it. He shes thatn't won two matches

:16:53. > :16:56.back-to-back, she has been struggling with a shoulder injury,

:16:57. > :17:01.she wouldn't seem to have that confident because you don't have

:17:02. > :17:05.conspeck sieve -- consecutive matches but she comes to Wimbledon

:17:06. > :17:11.and becomes a new play e with the big serve and massive forehand. And

:17:12. > :17:17.Grigor Dimitrov against Leonardo Mayer. Dimitrov for the first time

:17:18. > :17:20.in the second week, a lot of people fancy his chances. He is one of the

:17:21. > :17:26.few guy, they don't play on grass very often. Just two weeks a year,

:17:27. > :17:34.two or three weeks a year, he glides over the surface his balance is

:17:35. > :17:39.extraordinary, and that gives him a huge advantage, I would have thought

:17:40. > :17:48.he is is a big I favourite against Mayer, which would bring him into

:17:49. > :17:51.the quarters against Murray or Anderson. That would be an

:17:52. > :17:54.interesting match up. And Tsonga against Djokovic that is one we are

:17:55. > :17:59.looking forward to on centre as well. Absolutely. Djokovic has

:18:00. > :18:04.beaten Tsonga the last ten times in a row, but that being said, Tsonga,

:18:05. > :18:09.Novak talked about Tsonga playing op grass, he said how dangerous he can

:18:10. > :18:13.be, because Tsonga can pick his serves is and he can come in and

:18:14. > :18:18.finish points off at the net. We know how dangerous he can be when he

:18:19. > :18:23.is inspired. Jo seems to be very inspired. A former south-east list

:18:24. > :18:26.here, he seems to be playing inspired tennis, he had a Africa

:18:27. > :18:31.match in the last round. Novak knows he has his hands full today. When

:18:32. > :18:35.you lock at the drawer, particularly in the ladies, it is tough to think

:18:36. > :18:42.of who will come through in the bottom half of the draw. We have

:18:43. > :18:47.Maria Sharapova, Kvitova, she is bottom half. Yes. Kvitova by the

:18:48. > :18:50.way, beating Venus, she said that was the best match she feels she has

:18:51. > :18:54.played on grass since she was the champion in 2011, that was a really

:18:55. > :18:59.tight match, high quality, and it is great to see Kvitova playing so well

:19:00. > :19:04.on grass, when she won here in 2011, beating Maria in the final, I

:19:05. > :19:08.predicted as many people did, the Kvitova would dominate the next

:19:09. > :19:16.year, but she hasn't, so for me now, Maria Sharapova is the favourite now

:19:17. > :19:23.that Serena has lost to Cornet. Kvitova plays Shuai Peng. If she

:19:24. > :19:30.gets through she will face Strycova Strycova. -- Strycova. What a story

:19:31. > :19:37.she is here at the championships, she has beaten three seeded player,

:19:38. > :19:42.including Li Na and Caroline Wozniacki. I think she is pleased.

:19:43. > :19:48.She is a very emotional player. She is. 6-2, 7-5. A huge disappointment

:19:49. > :19:51.again for Caroline Wozniacki, look at this, she can't believe she is

:19:52. > :19:56.through to the last eight. She has never been through to the fourth

:19:57. > :20:00.round. Let us hear what she has had to say about the match. Huge

:20:01. > :20:03.congratulations, you are through to the quarter-finals for the first

:20:04. > :20:09.time, and you have beaten the top play e again, in Caroline Wozniacki,

:20:10. > :20:13.your thoughts? My thoughts, I am shocked. Yes, I am shocked but in

:20:14. > :20:18.the same way I am very very happy, because the way I played together it

:20:19. > :20:23.was really good, and I followed a tactic with my coach, I played a

:20:24. > :20:28.good match today. I am surprised to hear you are shocked. You beat Li

:20:29. > :20:32.Na, prior to Serena Williams's defeat was the shock of the

:20:33. > :20:34.tournament. How come? Did you have that beef?

:20:35. > :20:38.tournament. How come? Did you have that I went for every match with my

:20:39. > :20:42.belief, but I am shocked because it never happened to me, and this is

:20:43. > :20:46.the first time and this is something what I, I was dreaming about, and is

:20:47. > :20:51.going on right now, the dream is here, and it is really something

:20:52. > :20:56.overwhelmed. I am overwhelmed. We about your time out of the game. You

:20:57. > :21:00.have come back so strong. How proud of you of what you have dope since

:21:01. > :21:04.you returned? It has been tough for six month, but like I said before, I

:21:05. > :21:10.didn't want to come back any more, I didn't want to play so much, for one

:21:11. > :21:15.months but like OK, I am going to do, I miss it, I feel miss the

:21:16. > :21:21.feeling of competing. Disighed to go for it. I am glad and I am, I don't

:21:22. > :21:25.want to say I am proud because I don't want to, I like I am proud,

:21:26. > :21:29.no, no. I am happy I decided to play again. Did you make that decision

:21:30. > :21:36.yourself or did you have any anybody you spoke to? I made the decision by

:21:37. > :21:40.myself, I didn't want someone pushing me to play. I had some

:21:41. > :21:45.thoughts and I did it myself. She has so much to be proud of.

:21:46. > :21:50.Absolutely. She has a big aggressive Herve Gaymard. She is dominating

:21:51. > :21:56.matches. She has a different game. She loves the backhand, hits it hard

:21:57. > :22:01.and flat. Forehand a weapon as well. She can finish off points at the

:22:02. > :22:05.net. I love stories like that, because she has been on the tour for

:22:06. > :22:10.a number of year, and all of a sudden out the blue comes through

:22:11. > :22:16.and beats Li Na, the number two in the world, she has struggled in the

:22:17. > :22:27.spring, but the women's game has so much depth right now. The young

:22:28. > :22:31.lady, in Nottingham she lost to a player ranked outside the top 1,000.

:22:32. > :22:36.It gives players the feeling I am not that far away and I can do it if

:22:37. > :22:40.I work hard. I tell you what, we will head to Court Number One,

:22:41. > :22:45.because we have tennis. Where are you supposed to be? I am going to

:22:46. > :22:58.Court Number One, I have my running shoes on. Tracey will head there. We

:22:59. > :23:03.saw them walk on to court. It is Ana Ivanovic and Sabine Lisicki. Tracey

:23:04. > :23:09.will be on her way shortly. Andrew Castle is there. He is going to be

:23:10. > :23:11.ages. It is miles away. Thank you very much indeed for, for that chat

:23:12. > :23:20.and a look round. And now we very much indeed for, for that chat

:23:21. > :23:24.this match, which has had, as you said two suspension, one

:23:25. > :23:30.this match, which has had, as you night, and now, this delay here. It

:23:31. > :23:33.is five -- 5-2. Lisicki serving to stay in the set. Ivanovic won the

:23:34. > :23:45.previous point to take it back to deuce.

:23:46. > :23:50.Now if she the get out of this game and ask Ivanovic to serve for it, it

:23:51. > :24:03.will be interesting. And that is what has happened.

:24:04. > :24:07.Two quick points. And quite a demanding situation for

:24:08. > :24:12.this former worm number one, Ana Ivanovic. She hasn't been in the top

:24:13. > :24:15.ten for a while, but a good year has taken her to number 11, this will

:24:16. > :25:09.test her nerve, serving to make it one set all.

:25:10. > :25:20.That's a real bonus there. Ivanovic sometimes sees the ball

:25:21. > :25:22.toss get away from her. That was good composure on the second serve.

:25:23. > :26:08.Two points away from levelling up. And that's it. We have completed two

:26:09. > :26:11.sets is of this third round encounter.

:26:12. > :26:18.-- two sets is of this. -- two sets of this.

:26:19. > :26:21.One set all and now, certainly an interesting contest. Lisicki has

:26:22. > :26:26.been taking the ball as quickly as she can, and forcing the play. Ana

:26:27. > :26:30.Ivanovic, pretty settled down. Won the first couple of games after the

:26:31. > :26:34.resystemion from Saturday night. And now at one set all. --

:26:35. > :26:44.resumption. Perhaps we would expect her to play her best tennis. In 2008

:26:45. > :26:49.she acentury sended to the top of the world rankings, but her last

:26:50. > :26:54.time in top ten was in 2009, so five years ago, and despite all the

:26:55. > :26:56.problems with the ball toss, she has shown the determination which marked

:26:57. > :27:19.her career. One set all here. It is all about taking the big

:27:20. > :27:23.points: And managing to serve out retaining her nerve. The slight

:27:24. > :28:43.advantage of serving first in the decider to Lisicki.

:28:44. > :28:51.She was in tremendous form coming into this come its -- competition.

:28:52. > :29:07.She has been pulled into net many times, but, she has dealt more

:29:08. > :30:02.comfortably with the volleys in the forecourt. Most of this match.

:30:03. > :30:08.to Ana Ivanovic, you have two commit to it because she is going to belt

:30:09. > :30:19.it, given half the chance. So you go for a bit too much, double fault.

:30:20. > :31:00.Accepting pressure on the server. -- exerting.

:31:01. > :31:13.Lisicki, the first German singles woman to go to the final since

:31:14. > :31:20.Steffi Graf. Last year she lost to Marion Bartoli, and she has that

:31:21. > :31:27.wonderful service motion that has given her the first game in this now

:31:28. > :31:32.long third much. Tracy Austin is back with me, we will give you five

:31:33. > :32:41.minutes to recover the long walk. Welcome back. Thank you.

:32:42. > :32:45.It is impossible to defend against when Lisicki takes such big cuts at

:32:46. > :33:27.the ball. Very smart to use that backhand down

:33:28. > :33:30.the line from Lisicki, which tends to move over a little to her left,

:33:31. > :33:54.looking for a forehand. Nicely done. And easy ball to miss.

:33:55. > :34:02.Enjoy the technique on the forehand side, it is a lesson. It is actually

:34:03. > :34:41.a dying art, racket head up, and it didn't drop after contact.

:34:42. > :35:06.Lisicki three break point opportunities, one left.

:35:07. > :35:16.She is as technically proficient on that forehand side, you might say as

:35:17. > :35:24.her countryman Novak Djokovic. It is a sweet and fluid hit, it flies off

:35:25. > :36:08.the racket. Lots of love rich. Back to deuce.

:36:09. > :36:32.Uses her lower body so well. With all of her shots, to create power.

:36:33. > :36:53.First blood in this first set to Sabine Lisicki. She admirably was

:36:54. > :36:59.sticking to her task. Dad on the right-hand side, Richard Lisicki. He

:37:00. > :37:01.will be pleased. And her coach now as well, now that she is not working

:37:02. > :37:30.with Hingis any more. Ivanovic has done a good job of

:37:31. > :37:35.trying to put pressure on Lisicki. If an average has great technique

:37:36. > :37:37.around the net, it has been effective. -- Ivanovic has great

:37:38. > :38:05.technique. That was a bit of an e-mail, that

:38:06. > :38:10.one. It was, because of the surface. It was, because of the surface. It's

:38:11. > :38:57.completely died and never are so effective. -- they are so effective.

:38:58. > :39:07.This is all getting a bit nervy, isn't it? That was... The technical

:39:08. > :39:15.expression might be a brick on the forehand. It is difficult to get a

:39:16. > :39:38.ball from that low position. Difficult to control it.

:39:39. > :39:46.That is some heavy artillery. She can knock her opponents off court.

:39:47. > :39:51.It's so often happens with Lisicki when she is playing well, her

:39:52. > :40:03.opponents have to adjust to her game.

:40:04. > :40:11.She has backed up the break of serve. We have seen in this game and

:40:12. > :40:17.match plenty of tricks so long way go yet.

:40:18. > :40:19.SUE BARKER: We will be back to see if Ana Ivanovic can get herself back

:40:20. > :40:23.into this if Ana Ivanovic can get herself back

:40:24. > :40:30.into this set in a moment. On Centre Court under the roof, Bouchard took

:40:31. > :40:39.the first set but Cornet, who took out Serena Williams, is fighting

:40:40. > :40:49.back. That match is live on BBC1. Also available on the red button,

:40:50. > :40:54.the match between Kvitova and Peng is still on serve. That is available

:40:55. > :41:04.on red button, as is the game between Lopez and Isner. That is

:41:05. > :41:05.only a third round match, so that is happening on Court number three.

:41:06. > :41:22.Back we go to Court Number One. Ana Ivanovic needs to get some sort

:41:23. > :41:33.of foothold in this deciding set. Must win game? Absolutely. Cannot go

:41:34. > :41:46.down a double break with the Lisicki serve. Also, I would think that in

:41:47. > :41:53.the back of Ivanovic's mind, she would have to know that Lisicki can

:41:54. > :41:54.run hot and cold. There can be unforced errors so she has got to

:41:55. > :42:40.keep her calm. Trying to get down so low! You can

:42:41. > :42:47.see the likes of Radwanska doing the splits on the baseline, so too

:42:48. > :43:03.Lisicki but it is difficult to get up from that position.

:43:04. > :43:11.Once again, admirable technique and a high backhand volley on dropping

:43:12. > :43:14.ball again, keeping the racket head up, hitting through the ball. Nicely

:43:15. > :44:04.put away. Just quickly, what happened to Ana

:44:05. > :44:11.Ivanovic after she was the number one in the world? It took her a long

:44:12. > :44:15.time to get back after that, she was as low as 65. The expectations were

:44:16. > :44:31.too much for her. She was about 19 years old, and Justin Henin took

:44:32. > :44:36.herself off the computer. Therefore when Ivanovic won she became number

:44:37. > :44:42.one in the world after taking that title in 2008 and it all came too

:44:43. > :44:49.quickly. She came to Wimbledon and lost early. For a number of years

:44:50. > :45:04.she looked panicked on Court, indecisive.

:45:05. > :45:41.It is her seventh double fault. When her toss goes astray she has to

:45:42. > :46:18.reach too far behind her. Certainly a -- the attention can be

:46:19. > :46:23.the most difficult thing to get used to for any young athlete, as they

:46:24. > :46:27.get to the top of the game or achieve things that they have

:46:28. > :46:33.previously only dream about. If she was a teenager, it really takes some

:46:34. > :46:38.adjustment. Ana Ivanovic's personal life has always been in the

:46:39. > :46:46.spotlight as well, I don't know if she is still seeing a golfer but it

:46:47. > :46:53.is difficult to handle, is it not? How old were you when you won the US

:46:54. > :46:58.Open? 16. I was still going to school so that helped to give me

:46:59. > :47:04.some balance and it was a gradual process, I was in the top ten, the

:47:05. > :47:10.top five, started beating Martina and Christie and it didn't come out

:47:11. > :47:33.of the blue. It wasn't easy though. -- Chrissie. That is a gimme point

:47:34. > :48:03.from Ivanovic. At times she can appear, a bit like

:48:04. > :48:05.Simon in the men's game, frail on court. Six foot one, tremendously

:48:06. > :48:27.athletic. The last thing the German player

:48:28. > :48:34.wants is to get involved in any rallies from the back of the court,

:48:35. > :48:39.developing any rhythm for Ivanovic. Doing a great job here. Lisicki

:48:40. > :49:02.likes shorter points, that's why she likes the surface.

:49:03. > :49:38.UMPIRE: On the left service line, the ball was called in.

:49:39. > :49:48.Ivanovic not ready and prepared for that second shot. Negative emotions,

:49:49. > :50:18.so it is smart to clear her thoughts on this critical point.

:50:19. > :50:31.UMPIRE: New balls, please. That really is a blow for Ivanovic,

:50:32. > :50:35.Lisicki smothering the ball. You can see why she was a finalist last

:50:36. > :50:41.year, and has beaten Serena and Radwanska. To great surprise that

:50:42. > :50:47.she could not repeat that form in the final against Marion Bartoli.

:50:48. > :50:54.She has played a super-smart much. Saturday night this match started,

:50:55. > :51:13.and here we are on Monday, still at it. Dad and camp, delighted. Mum as

:51:14. > :51:18.well, right there. A server like this love is new tennis balls.

:51:19. > :51:44.Adding insult to injury for Ivanovic.

:51:45. > :51:56.Remember last year, Andrew, she was down 3-love in the third to Williams

:51:57. > :52:51.and the same against Radwanska. She was very mentally tough.

:52:52. > :52:59.What a way to finish! Her seventh ace! Certainly an overpowering

:53:00. > :53:05.performance but also subtlety as well, able to use the drop shot and

:53:06. > :53:12.real grass court know-how. How does it feel to be in the fourth round? I

:53:13. > :53:19.just get the feeling Sabine Lisicki wished all of the tour events were

:53:20. > :53:23.played on this surface. It is perfectly suited to her game with

:53:24. > :53:29.the big serve, powerful ground strokes, and she seems to move so

:53:30. > :53:38.well honoured as well. And the smile is a winner, people love that every

:53:39. > :53:48.day of the week. It has been a grand year for Ana Ivanovic. This is not

:53:49. > :53:52.the surface she would pick to play Lisicki on. It has been an

:53:53. > :53:58.entertaining match. The Saturday night version, the early afternoon

:53:59. > :54:12.version, and this is well. And the draw is fascinating now. It could

:54:13. > :54:19.all happen again for Lisicki, couldn't it? Yes, it is wide open

:54:20. > :54:24.for her. The highest ranked player left in the draw is number three, a

:54:25. > :54:31.Romanian. But you pick Maria Sharapova to go through from this

:54:32. > :54:35.half? I do, she has so much confidence, recently winning the

:54:36. > :54:45.French Open title and she looks fresh to me. So often French Open

:54:46. > :54:49.winners don't have the energy at Wimbledon but this woman here always

:54:50. > :54:54.has the energy and she is such a favourite because she shows her

:54:55. > :54:59.emotions on her sleeve. Always with a smile, even if she is losing she

:55:00. > :55:16.will let you know how she is feeling. Look at the little girl in

:55:17. > :55:22.the purple heart, -- hat, there is no element of Lisicki she has not

:55:23. > :55:29.noticed. This is a champion, and I would like to be on this Court One

:55:30. > :55:33.day. It is lovely, isn't it? I'm not sure she has had hers signed yet.

:55:34. > :55:45.People keep coming over the top. That is the selfie. Way more

:55:46. > :55:49.important. I think the little girl might belong to the gentleman there

:55:50. > :55:54.and they got the shot they were looking for. We could see a lot more

:55:55. > :56:06.of Sabine Lisicki in this tournament. Comfortable indeed. Such

:56:07. > :56:11.a lovely schedule on the second Monday of the Championships, looking

:56:12. > :56:18.forward to both men's and women's matches, the doubles, the seniors,

:56:19. > :56:23.the juniors. Great tennis here at the Championships. We have just seen

:56:24. > :56:28.Sabine Lisicki win 6-1 in the final set.

:56:29. > :56:37.Congratulations, we had darkness and rain, have you ever taken so long to

:56:38. > :56:51.complete a match? Actually, no. It was quite fitting, come back, play,

:56:52. > :56:56.rain, finally finish it. You did, and Ivanovic came out all guns

:56:57. > :57:02.blazing but you don't so deep and found so much for the final set. It

:57:03. > :57:08.was a good match, she is such a good player. I was ready and she had some

:57:09. > :57:13.amazing winners when we came out the first time. Then the rain came in,

:57:14. > :57:20.then I think we were both hitting the winners. I ended up playing a

:57:21. > :57:25.few more. In the next round you play someone who you previously played in

:57:26. > :57:30.the Olympics, how do you take that in your stride? I had a great few

:57:31. > :57:36.matches here so she is playing well on grass, she has a big serve so I

:57:37. > :57:42.have to be ready but I am looking forward to another match. It is so

:57:43. > :57:52.much fun to play out there. Are you feeling as good as last year? Yes,

:57:53. > :57:59.the fans make me feel so good here. They're cheering gives me so much

:58:00. > :58:04.energy. Congratulations, well done. SUE BARKER: What a performance from

:58:05. > :58:08.Sabine Lisicki, she has not had a great year so far but she is finding

:58:09. > :58:13.her best form here as she did one year ago when she got through to the

:58:14. > :58:23.final. It will be a busy time for her, back on court tomorrow. Well

:58:24. > :58:29.done to Sabine Lisicki on Court Number One. Over on Centre Court,

:58:30. > :58:35.this match is live on BBC One, and Bouchard of Canada is just two

:58:36. > :58:41.points away from a place in the quarterfinals. That much is live on

:58:42. > :58:52.BBC1. Court number three, this is live on the red button, three

:58:53. > :58:57.tie-break sets, no break of serve. That one looks like it is going the

:58:58. > :59:04.distance, it is live on the red button. Plenty of play happening

:59:05. > :59:10.here, I'm delighted to say the rain clouds have moved away so now we are

:59:11. > :59:16.going to take you to Court Number Two to see Kvitova against Peng, and

:59:17. > :59:26.Kvitova has just taken the first set, served it out six - three.

:59:27. > :59:33.Let's join our commentators there. The first set didn't cause Kvitova

:59:34. > :59:40.too many headaches out here, just the one break of serve to go five -

:59:41. > :59:42.three up, then she served for the set, just needed one set point,

:59:43. > :00:50.burned herself three. -- burned It makes such a difference when she

:00:51. > :01:19.gets that first serve into play. Gives herself the chance to play

:01:20. > :01:27.straight into the space. Finally a bit of a smile from Peng.

:01:28. > :01:30.She needed that to start the second set in that manner. She did and

:01:31. > :01:37.again not the best drop with have seen from Petra Kvitova. She hasn't

:01:38. > :01:47.been successful with that particular shot in this match, but this is the

:01:48. > :01:49.best response we have had off it from Shuai Peng.

:01:50. > :03:10.A drop shot off a drop She really middles that one, Peng

:03:11. > :03:16.Shuai. Came right on to her, barely had to

:03:17. > :03:33.move. Very compact of that take back.

:03:34. > :03:35.Kvitova, although her first serve percentage hasn't been great

:03:36. > :03:37.throughout the course of the match. She is yet to lose a point behind

:03:38. > :04:17.that first serve. Powerful again from Kvitova. It

:04:18. > :04:22.levels things up in the first set. It doevent have to be in the corner,

:04:23. > :04:29.that is the the thing. It is such a heavy strike. Hard, straight through

:04:30. > :04:33.the middle is just as effective. Kvitova's coach looking very

:04:34. > :04:37.relaxed. He has to be one of the most chilled out coaches on the

:04:38. > :04:42.women's tour They have been playing back garden tennis according to

:04:43. > :05:07.Kvitova's Twitter account in the house they are sharing in Wimbledon.

:05:08. > :06:01.Off forehand return has Peng Shuai stuck in concrete.

:06:02. > :06:08.Interesting choice of shot from Peng Shuai.

:06:09. > :06:13.She has really pulled so far off the court, attempting to drop the ball

:06:14. > :06:50.short. Not getting the job done with that.

:06:51. > :07:01.Up ball was called out. Let us have a closer look at this then.

:07:02. > :07:04.Hawk-Eye is quite happy: She has every right to be annoyed with that

:07:05. > :07:13.line call. She gets another first serve.

:07:14. > :07:39.She would like to hang on to the one she just had.

:07:40. > :07:47.Early chance for Kvitova to get the break. Potentially march on to the

:07:48. > :08:07.quarter-finals. Peng was raeltly retch reaching for

:08:08. > :08:14.that and Kvitova gets the early break. She moves aend head in this

:08:15. > :08:21.second set, two games to one. -- Peng was really reaching for that.

:08:22. > :08:30.It is all going very smoothly out here for Petra Kvitova.

:08:31. > :08:38.She has been so strong on her own service games, I mine, if she can

:08:39. > :08:43.keep up the serving, she's had going throughout the course of this match,

:08:44. > :08:48.I don't see Peng Shuai breaking her. As much as Peng Shuai can hang in,

:08:49. > :08:53.we haven't had too many lengthy rallies, but it is how is she going

:08:54. > :08:58.to create some daylight between herself and the number six seed? At

:08:59. > :09:04.the moment, she is looking fairly composed. Too much is worrying her.

:09:05. > :09:08.-- not too much is worrying her. For Peng Shuai it is an uphill battle,

:09:09. > :09:13.but plenty of people in Court Two to watch this one. Peng Shuai has never

:09:14. > :09:20.been to a quarter-final of after Grand Slam before.

:09:21. > :09:27.-- of a Grand Slam before. Kvitova very familiar, area --

:09:28. > :09:33.familiar face. That is how strong her first serve

:09:34. > :09:47.has been. The first serve percentage from

:09:48. > :09:53.Kvitova hasn't been high, it sat 38% at the moment, but, when it does go

:09:54. > :09:59.in, she wins the point. Still, yet to lose a point behind

:10:00. > :10:18.that first serve. I spoke too soon. It's broken.

:10:19. > :10:41.100 percent record gone. And then back to business.

:10:42. > :10:56.Looking to march on through, Kvitova. Game point for 3-1. Leads

:10:57. > :11:04.by a set to love. Impressive. She has her sights on

:11:05. > :11:06.the quarter-final. With that opens up a 3-1 lead.

:11:07. > :11:25.It was always she might be the number one doubles

:11:26. > :11:27.player in the world but up against Kvitova. When she does come out with

:11:28. > :12:15.firing a first serve like that, very hard to reply.

:12:16. > :13:10.Oh no! Agonising She placed that serve so well. Suddenly at 30 all,

:13:11. > :13:59.3-1 down. Things Right on the line. No doubt about

:14:00. > :14:01.that. She does hold but Kvitova still a break up and she leads 3-2.

:14:02. > :14:14.well, on the right-hand side there, on top of Peng Shuai's bag, that

:14:15. > :14:19.little pink object, looks like an elephant from this angle but I can

:14:20. > :14:26.tell you. That is huge. That is a lucky cow, believe it or not. I

:14:27. > :14:30.believe it is supposed to be a cat. She is supposed to be carrying a

:14:31. > :14:34.lucky cow because she was born in the year of the cow.

:14:35. > :14:42.But it does look like an elephant from here. It does, doesn't it. That

:14:43. > :14:47.was a trunk I would say. Maybe the cow seized to bring her --

:14:48. > :14:53.ceased to bring her luck, I would have thought this run towards the

:14:54. > :15:03.the quarter-final, is that, that is a rhino? I think it is an elephant.

:15:04. > :15:12.I am sure she was born in the year of the cow, 1986. Certainly a run

:15:13. > :15:18.wards the quarter-finals means stepping out as a doubles player,

:15:19. > :15:25.she has been in the shadow of Li Na as Chinese singles players so much

:15:26. > :15:56.and it has raised her profile on the singles circuit somewhat.

:15:57. > :16:04.Peng Shuai has a lot of work to do here.

:16:05. > :16:12.What a serve. What a serve. It has just been so effective in

:16:13. > :16:16.this match, that serve out wide, from Kvitova. Look at the way it

:16:17. > :16:29.just keeps moving away from Peng Shuai.

:16:30. > :16:58.Well, that sud season That serve from Kvitova straight

:16:59. > :17:00.into the strike zone of Peng Shuai. As soon as the serve went out, the

:17:01. > :17:10.angle opened up for Kvitova. The serve out wide when it work, it

:17:11. > :17:16.is as if the ball is heat seeking and curving away. Trying to finds

:17:17. > :17:44.its target. Racing away from the opponent.

:17:45. > :17:59.Kvitova looking at a 4-2 lead here. Nicely set up by Kvitova again, the

:18:00. > :18:03.serve. Doing the job, and she moves ahead 4-2 in the second set. Getting

:18:04. > :18:06.ever closer to a place in the quarter-finals.

:18:07. > :18:14.Certainly not being put through the ring other tested in the same way as

:18:15. > :18:21.she was when he intent up against Venus Williams. It quite a different

:18:22. > :19:57.match. Quite a different encounter. . -- it is quite a different match.

:19:58. > :20:07.Peng Shuai is in danger of letting this match slipway quickly. She is

:20:08. > :20:13.just beaten by the depth and pace that is coming off Kvitova's racket.

:20:14. > :20:18.A little too much from Peng Shuai to deal with.

:20:19. > :20:22.That was better. That was better from Peng Shuai.

:20:23. > :20:28.Coming up with something deep of her own.

:20:29. > :20:29.Is She is a set and break down, she has to keep swinging away and take

:20:30. > :20:47.her chances. Another game for Kvitova. She moves

:20:48. > :20:49.ahead 5-2 in the second set. She will have new balls with which to

:20:50. > :21:40.come out and serve for the match. The draw here, quarter-final, is

:21:41. > :21:45.beckoning for Petra Kvitova. Against Barbora Strycova. Should she win.

:21:46. > :22:02.The bottom half of the draw, now, Caroline Wozniacki has been knocked

:22:03. > :22:10.out, Radwanska has to be a threat. Safarova came through today against

:22:11. > :22:14.another Czech player. Czech tennis in the womens is on the up at the

:22:15. > :22:25.moment. Absolutely. Here is Petra Kvitova serving for a place in the

:22:26. > :22:28.quarter-finals. That game could go rather quickly, I

:22:29. > :22:57.have the feeling. It really has been an impressive

:22:58. > :23:13.serving disa play from Petra Kvitova, and first and second serve.

:23:14. > :23:15.-- display. Play from Petra Kvitova, and first

:23:16. > :23:18.and second serve. -- display. I was going to say three match

:23:19. > :23:25.points but we do have a challenge from Peng Shuai. I think this is

:23:26. > :23:30.wishful thinking from her. What do you have to lose? You may ask the

:23:31. > :23:48.question. She is now three match points down.

:23:49. > :24:32.No! She may it. Kvitova was almost disbelieving.

:24:33. > :24:54.Kvitova, the 2011 champion, into the quarter-finals.

:24:55. > :25:00.And she has barely been troubled really. Straight sets.

:25:01. > :25:04.And she is into the quarter-finals for the fifth year in a row at

:25:05. > :25:11.Wimbledon. She is so pleased to be there too.

:25:12. > :25:16.That was an impressive performance from Petra Kvitova. She was rarely

:25:17. > :25:26.put under too much pressure from Peng Shuai. Just had too much power.

:25:27. > :25:33.The lucky elephant or cow didn't do much good. Kvitova must believe she

:25:34. > :25:35.has a good chance of lifting a second Wimbledon champion.

:25:36. > :25:37.has a good chance of lifting a bottom half of draw has opened #u7

:25:38. > :25:54.for her. It is there for the It is a match which has lasted one

:25:55. > :25:59.hour and one minute. The crowd have still enjoyed seeing a former

:26:00. > :26:03.champion in action on Court No. Two, we had a lengthy rain delay before

:26:04. > :26:08.the match started. The players appeared. Had to disappear and keep

:26:09. > :26:12.themselves occupied. As did the crowd. They came back and were

:26:13. > :26:19.treated to a fairly dominant display by Petra Kvitova.

:26:20. > :26:24.Her first serve didn't always go in but when it it did it worked well

:26:25. > :26:31.for her, she won so many of the points, as we mentioned on that

:26:32. > :26:34.first serve. She will hope that will be a feature that continues deeper

:26:35. > :26:50.into the draw. Intark so we are leaving on Court

:26:51. > :26:54.Two. On Centre Court Andy Murray has walked on to court. He is about to

:26:55. > :26:59.start his Fourth Round match against Kevin Anderson, the big server from

:27:00. > :27:04.South Africa who has hit 63 ace already in this tournament. Andy

:27:05. > :27:10.under way on centre court, that match is live on BBC One. We are a

:27:11. > :27:15.heading to number one top see Grigor Dimitrov. It is on serve. He is

:27:16. > :27:20.seeded 11th but he was the champion at Queens and a great grass court

:27:21. > :27:24.pedigree. He is up against Leonardo Mayer, so let us join our

:27:25. > :27:29.commentators Peter Fleming and Andrew Cotter. You can see why

:27:30. > :27:34.people are getting so excited about the prospect of Dimitrov, but again

:27:35. > :27:39.he is realising that talent. He has looked very very comfortable so far.

:27:40. > :27:42.Especially on his serve. No breaks but Dimitrov looks far the stronger

:27:43. > :27:49.player. Yes, that is fine, lost just the one

:27:50. > :27:55.point on his own serve and got to deuce, on Mayer's first service game

:27:56. > :28:01.and appears to have a good case, shall we say, for breaking through

:28:02. > :28:28.at some point. Mayer will need to serve his very best.

:28:29. > :28:32.throughout the tournament. About 80% of the points when he put

:28:33. > :29:20.the first serve in players so it is is a good weapon.

:29:21. > :29:27.Once again Dimitrov instinctively moving in, when he gets Mayer out of

:29:28. > :30:58.position. A nice split step, has a lot of court covered.

:30:59. > :31:15.His best service game so far. Getting steadily better on his

:31:16. > :31:27.serve, Leonardo Mayer. His coach watching on.

:31:28. > :32:07.Had Mayer challenged that ball, he would have found some joy. It was on

:32:08. > :32:36.the line. Unlucky. stronger, but he is finding more joy

:32:37. > :32:38.on Dimitrov's serve. He would have been nervous to start the match.

:32:39. > :33:01.Settling down now. Impressed with Dimitrov's serving

:33:02. > :33:03.throughout this tournament. In pressured situations, he has come up

:33:04. > :33:34.with the goods, as he did there. They displayed towards the end of

:33:35. > :33:40.that service came from Dimitrov. -- a display. That is how you want to

:33:41. > :33:49.react at 15-30, three bombs. Thank you very much. No problem. We have

:33:50. > :33:54.been talking about Dimitrov ever since he was compared to Federer.

:33:55. > :34:00.Said he was better than Federer at the age of 17, 18. He has had to

:34:01. > :34:08.live with that pressure. What a sadistic thing to say! That will be

:34:09. > :34:11.easy to live up to! Yeah, but he is starting to get there.

:34:12. > :34:16.Quarterfinalist at the Australian Open this year. This is as far as he

:34:17. > :34:22.has been at Wimbledon. His coach will add toughness. He has seen it

:34:23. > :34:24.before with other players. We saw the win at

:34:25. > :34:30.before with other players. We saw has won this season. Of course, his

:34:31. > :34:34.first career victory was in Stockholm last October.

:34:35. > :34:42.first career victory was in was a springboard for him. The match

:34:43. > :34:48.at the Australian Open, another milestone, taking Nadal into a tight

:34:49. > :34:55.four sets. That was the first time in a major but he showed he can hang

:34:56. > :34:59.with the best. You add to the natural talent the knowledge, I can

:35:00. > :36:20.do this, and you have a pretty formidable opponent.

:36:21. > :36:33.Well, he has served more place-macros in the tournament than

:36:34. > :37:20.Dimitrov has. Considerably more. -- aces in the tournament.

:37:21. > :37:30.A couple of sparrows having an aerial battle around Court One for a

:37:31. > :37:59.moment. They have now gone off to brawl elsewhere.

:38:00. > :38:08.Thinking about it, well, he is going to challenge. It was not a gesture

:38:09. > :38:16.of any great evidence in this challenge. It is going to Mayer if

:38:17. > :38:27.it is wide. Worth asking the question. We remain on serve. As you

:38:28. > :38:31.said, he is settling into the match OK, Leonardo Mayer. He would have

:38:32. > :38:44.been nervous. This is as far as he has been in heavy Ali any Grand

:38:45. > :38:50.Slam. -- in any Grand Slam. He has settled into a wonderful rhythm. 72%

:38:51. > :40:16.of his first serves have gone in. He is being aggressive.

:40:17. > :40:39.A couple of errors now of the forehand.

:40:40. > :40:53.And because it was 30-30, Dimitrov pretty conservative with the

:40:54. > :41:26.approach shot. That was the opening that Mayer needed.

:41:27. > :41:37.Wow. Second serve right smack in the corner of the box. For all his

:41:38. > :41:42.relative dominance, the first break point of the match went to Mayer.

:41:43. > :42:03.Again, the answer from Dimitrov was good.

:42:04. > :42:13.In the blue, the coach of Mayer. I am sure he will be pleased with his

:42:14. > :42:31.player's aggression. He is trying to impose himself.

:42:32. > :42:42.A rather meet end for Mayer. But it is a hold for Dimitrov. -- meek end.

:42:43. > :42:50.The flag bearer for Argentinian tennis here, Leonardo Mayer. Del

:42:51. > :42:58.Potro not here. A couple of first-round exit as well. I think

:42:59. > :43:04.the football is taking... I understand there are far fewer

:43:05. > :43:12.Argentinian jealous here with the football and without Del Potro. He

:43:13. > :43:19.is going well, Mayer -- Argentinian journalists. He will have to play

:43:20. > :43:27.his very best to upset Dimitrov. Thus far, he is

:43:28. > :43:29.his very best to upset Dimitrov. not far off it. The difference use

:43:30. > :43:34.his very best to upset Dimitrov. you have to wear for grass, you can

:43:35. > :43:39.still slide. A lot of players would go into the slide worried they could

:43:40. > :43:45.not come out of it without being carried off on a stretcher. Dimitrov

:43:46. > :43:51.is one of the more flexible players. Becoming one of the stronger players

:43:52. > :43:54.as well. One shot at Queen's where it was almost full splits and a

:43:55. > :44:05.little volley will stop a thing of beauty. -- a little volley. A thing

:44:06. > :44:11.of beauty. He showed us graceful moves like that day after day. After

:44:12. > :44:42.surviving a scare on his serve, he can now put the pressure on Mayer.

:44:43. > :44:48.few errors along with the winners because that is how he needs to

:44:49. > :44:57.play. He cannot afford to be completely safe.

:44:58. > :45:11.What happened there? Did not look like a winner but it was. It should

:45:12. > :45:15.not have been. What was Mayer doing? A brief fit of laziness. Mental

:45:16. > :45:57.laziness, I think. They talk about it quite a lot,

:45:58. > :46:01.suddenly Mayer switched off on the previous point, but the very best

:46:02. > :46:04.players will not switch off. A little drop-in level and he is being

:46:05. > :46:30.punished by Dimitrov. Wonderful from Dimitrov. An example

:46:31. > :46:37.of his flexibility, poise and shotmaking. All of the great

:46:38. > :46:42.players, the very best, they are great defenders. Dimitrov is

:46:43. > :46:47.starting to show us that he too can play that side of the ball. That

:46:48. > :47:11.defence gives him the right to attack now.

:47:12. > :47:22.That was an aggressive second serve, 107 mph-macro. Still one more set

:47:23. > :47:42.point for Grigor Dimitrov -- 107mph. The number 11 seed has the first

:47:43. > :47:48.set. He took it well in that game. Just stepped up his level slightly.

:47:49. > :47:54.Mayer dropped a little bit. That was the difference. Exactly. There was

:47:55. > :48:01.nothing in that set. It was just, really, that one point. Lose the

:48:02. > :48:06.first or second point in the game, when Mayer approached the net,

:48:07. > :48:12.Dimitrov hit what looked to be a pretty tame backhand up the line and

:48:13. > :48:19.Mayer did not even flinch. Perhaps there was something in the way

:48:20. > :48:27.Dimitrov shaped up for the shot that made him think he was going to chip

:48:28. > :48:36.it across court. But when, you can be in trouble. Not a huge amount in

:48:37. > :48:45.it. Mayer with a few more unforced errors. But a pretty close set. On

:48:46. > :48:51.grass especially, statistics are if not meaningless sometimes

:48:52. > :48:59.irrelevant. Just because all you need to do is hold serve. Our start

:49:00. > :49:06.the league statistics man is sobbing quietly. What do they say? Lies,

:49:07. > :49:12.damn lies and... Statistics. They give a little bit of a guide. There

:49:13. > :49:16.are important categories to look out for. The amount of first serves,

:49:17. > :49:24.generally speaking, you land your first serve and you will have a very

:49:25. > :49:30.good chance. Super slow motion is designed for players like Grigor

:49:31. > :49:34.Dimitrov and Federer. It is the balance and the poise. A bit gloomy

:49:35. > :49:59.overhead again. I am going to ask you who the

:50:00. > :50:07.Bulgarian number two men's play areas. -- player is. Can you think

:50:08. > :50:28.of a name? I can't even read it! The world

:50:29. > :50:30.number 327. It just shows what sort of an achievement it is for Dimitrov

:50:31. > :50:42.to get where he is. It is the same as Andy Murray in his

:50:43. > :50:46.position. There are major inquests as to what is happening in their

:50:47. > :50:55.tennis. Even the women's side, apart from the sisters, it is not... Not a

:50:56. > :51:09.real pedigree of tennis in Bulgaria. Hard as nails!

:51:10. > :51:19.What happened there! We will endeavour to find out. He does not

:51:20. > :51:25.like the ball. I think it might be an old one. Or a dead one. One of

:51:26. > :52:05.the two. I think it was in Miami when someone

:52:06. > :52:12.fainted in the heat, not at the site of Dimitrov, but he helped her to

:52:13. > :52:22.the side and he was the hero for the day.

:52:23. > :52:34.The second set is under love for Dimitrov. Everyone getting

:52:35. > :52:40.excited about Dimitrov because he is a possible next quarterfinal

:52:41. > :52:47.opponent for Kevin Anderson. Or Andy Murray, should he come through.

:52:48. > :52:54.Who? ! It is so nice to see a guy with this much talent start to come

:52:55. > :53:01.through, start to put in the hard work and gain the belief required to

:53:02. > :53:06.step up and compete with the very best. How would you come through in

:53:07. > :53:11.a country with no real rich tennis history? His father is a tennis

:53:12. > :53:25.coach and was very keen to get Grigor started down that path.

:53:26. > :53:31.Extraordinary effort to get there from Grigor Dimitrov. Lovely touch

:53:32. > :53:40.from Leonardo Mayer. Not many players can do this. All to no

:53:41. > :53:46.avail, but have a look. I can do that! You would still be down there.

:53:47. > :54:03.With a crane, they would have to get me. St John ambulance.

:54:04. > :54:23.And again. He hit that with a full swing, loads of top-spin. He is

:54:24. > :54:59.feeling it right now. Very confident.

:55:00. > :56:00.Early pressure in the second set on the Argentinian serve.

:56:01. > :56:08.SUE BARKER: Still a long way to go in this match. We will leave it on

:56:09. > :56:12.BBC Two because we are heading to Centre Court. If you want to

:56:13. > :56:18.continue watching this, you can. It is live on the red button. We will

:56:19. > :56:21.continue to update you on BBC Two. We are heading to Centre Court

:56:22. > :56:28.because Andy Murray is up against Kevin Anderson. He has a break of

:56:29. > :56:32.serve, leading 4-3 in the opening set. Let us join our commentators,

:56:33. > :56:40.Tim Henman, John McEnroe and Mark Petchey.

:56:41. > :56:44.Murray looking good but not as good as the guy who has been stealing

:56:45. > :57:06.around in Tim Henman's wardrobe! Not making too many inroads in the

:57:07. > :57:10.Murray service game at the moment. Got to deuce once. Reliant on Murray

:57:11. > :57:44.not serving well. JOHN MCENROE: Gets it done. Credit

:57:45. > :57:55.to him, took him a while to get comfortable. 6ft numeric date tall.

:57:56. > :57:59.-- 6ft numeric date. He has been battling out there. Best tennis of

:58:00. > :58:15.his life, he has been playing. Murray changed his mind. He had

:58:16. > :58:20.already given away the drop shot. Anderson was starting to move

:58:21. > :58:24.forward. It looks like he would hit it deep. Federer is an expert at

:58:25. > :58:44.that. Then he went back to it and Anderson was on it.

:58:45. > :58:56.That was 106, John. You talked about the serve that got him at deuce at

:58:57. > :59:01.98. Is that anticipation? Is that something you can teach? I don't

:59:02. > :59:08.know if you can teach that. You need the spring to deal with that. The

:59:09. > :59:13.reach is there. Murray likes to go big out wide. But you have got to

:59:14. > :59:17.really study it. You would think with all of the practice sessions,

:59:18. > :59:19.he would be able to see that serve coming before it was too late.

:59:20. > :59:48.Credit Murray's disguise. He is one of the most diligent

:59:49. > :59:51.workers on the tour. He subscribes to the training on the computer as

:59:52. > :59:59.well to try to improve the reaction times. He has certainly gone the

:00:00. > :00:01.extra mile in his career, Anderson, to get every last ounce out of his

:00:02. > :00:13.game. There it is again. Absolutely

:00:14. > :00:20.respect for him for doing everything possible. I don't think he can do

:00:21. > :01:11.anything about the sheer speed. are pretty close. You speak to these

:01:12. > :01:23.guys, they all feel he is the quickest out there. You same boat.

:01:24. > :01:33.You read that in the papers? I did, I am not going to say which one.

:01:34. > :01:50.The difference in that speed could be the difference between Murray and

:01:51. > :02:15.Anderson. That is how fast you same bolt -- Usain Bolt is.

:02:16. > :02:23.We'll have all our statistics in front of us, was it an unforced

:02:24. > :02:29.error or a forced error? A forced error, an excellent second serve.

:02:30. > :02:34.Caught in a little bit off-guard, it kicked more than he thought. --

:02:35. > :02:59.caught him a little off-guard. Anderson has clearly played better

:03:00. > :03:10.than he did in the first 20 minutes. He has settled in. It is nice to see

:03:11. > :03:20.him playing up to his ability. He throws down the hardest serve of the

:03:21. > :03:21.match. Get set up to 128. He is going to make marry at least serve

:03:22. > :03:58.this out. -- Murray. Such a testing return, Murray well

:03:59. > :04:04.inside his baseline but up the middle. Anderson, although he works

:04:05. > :04:11.so hard on his agility, unable to contort his body out of the way.

:04:12. > :04:26.Surprised he let that go. Interesting pass by Murray. What a

:04:27. > :04:33.row was this from? One of yours! I can relate to that. A throwback. --

:04:34. > :05:20.which era. Surprised Murray with that bit of

:05:21. > :05:29.subtlety. He does force Andy to serve out this opening set. We will

:05:30. > :05:33.be back to see Andy Murray serve for the second set, meanwhile matches

:05:34. > :05:40.continue elsewhere. Grigor Dimitrov is 3-2 up against Leonardo Maher.

:05:41. > :05:55.That match is on the red button. Over on Court three, Radwanska,

:05:56. > :05:57.3-3. That is also on the red button. Matches continue on Monday, but our

:05:58. > :06:13.focus is on Centre Court. Andy Murray would have been

:06:14. > :06:16.conscious of the Challenger today. He is starting to find his feet

:06:17. > :06:24.among the big boys in the tournament, Anderson.

:06:25. > :06:31.Both players have come out pretty much as expected. Murray continues

:06:32. > :06:34.to play excellent tennis, Anderson has found himself forced stop the

:06:35. > :06:44.problem is it looks like he will be down eight set. -- a set. One last

:06:45. > :07:09.attempt to level things here. He has been worried repeatedly by

:07:10. > :07:13.that first serve. You would think he would say, I am getting the gist of

:07:14. > :07:43.this, I am going to cover the one out wide.

:07:44. > :07:58.That is well played. He absolutely hits a bit beautiful ball, for a big

:07:59. > :08:02.guy, gets down nice and slow. It was a fantastic shot, but you still felt

:08:03. > :08:07.three or four shots before he could have come into the net and tried to

:08:08. > :08:15.make the rally a little shorter. One of the few points he has won. Steps

:08:16. > :08:23.over to his right. Doesn't look like it.

:08:24. > :08:30.That is where Murray wants to see him, back behind the baseline,

:08:31. > :08:35.giving him that angle. Absolutely should continue to take it. Anderson

:08:36. > :09:00.comes up with the solution. Continues to go on that forehand

:09:01. > :09:02.side and erode the confidence of Anderson on the return. Probably

:09:03. > :10:13.keep going up the middle. No. You can see how important it was it

:10:14. > :10:15.brings a smile to the face of Sir Alex Ferguson a fellow Scot. He is

:10:16. > :10:30.in the lead. Just got a sense in the opening set

:10:31. > :10:36.that may be Anderson in some of those exchanges, going back to

:10:37. > :10:47.Andy's forehand a little bit. I think this is another case, we

:10:48. > :10:53.have seen a hundreds of times before, where a guy walks out on

:10:54. > :10:56.this great court, it is hard to think clearly. You just looked up

:10:57. > :11:03.and the next thing you know to our down 2-0, 3-1. You battled yourself,

:11:04. > :11:07.you battled the guy who is a defending champion, a great player,

:11:08. > :11:12.and you are trying to work out how to win. You want to get some rhythm,

:11:13. > :11:16.you want to get some confidence. You are pretty much going to play it's

:11:17. > :11:22.fairly safe until you get your game going. Now he has, but he has not

:11:23. > :11:26.been able to bring the thinking cap to things yet. Everything he has

:11:27. > :11:32.done to Murray he has expected, seen it all before. That is what we

:11:33. > :11:36.expected, we expected Murray to take advantage. Now with the first set

:11:37. > :11:42.under his belt, a big question with a lot of the top players these days

:11:43. > :11:46.is is there a plan B? I think there is scope for Anderson to sneak to

:11:47. > :11:53.the net a little more, whether it is behind the serve or an aggressive

:11:54. > :11:56.ground strokes or Andy Murray's second serve. He needs to try and

:11:57. > :12:04.bring a different aspect to the game.

:12:05. > :12:14.He has had a couple of days off, that should help him. He had a far

:12:15. > :12:18.more difficult time. Legs should be reasonably well recharged. He needs

:12:19. > :13:02.to get ahead here, early. Murray did a good job in the first

:13:03. > :13:05.set of getting the early break. Anderson has to try and create a bit

:13:06. > :13:13.of scoreboard pressure here, keep his nose in front and hold onto the

:13:14. > :13:23.first new service games. -- first view.

:13:24. > :13:31.So comfortable returning that serve. 127 miles an hour and Murray made it

:13:32. > :14:00.look like 107 mph. That hurts! Happy Christmas. That is

:14:01. > :14:02.hard to believe. It will be difficult to dig himself out of this

:14:03. > :15:12.one at 0-40. Big and deep, nothing Murray could

:15:13. > :15:19.do about that. There is Neville Godwin, Kevin's wife on the left of

:15:20. > :15:29.your picture, Kelsey O'Neal. In the first set Murray had 0-40 and came

:15:30. > :15:35.back, is history going to repeat itself?

:15:36. > :15:44.This will be big if he can take out of this, especially

:15:45. > :15:46.This will be big if he can take out missed that zero - 30, to shrug that

:15:47. > :17:26.off. That was a nice paste point from

:17:27. > :17:32.Murray, did not feel he was under any pressure. Murray will make

:17:33. > :17:54.significant headway if he can get this break point in the second set.

:17:55. > :18:08.Surprised he chose to slice the forehand. If he had hit a solid

:18:09. > :18:35.forehand either side, it seemed like the game was his.

:18:36. > :18:51.You notice when he hit his return, he started to move forward and got

:18:52. > :18:58.right on this ball. Anderson hit a pretty good pass, but he was in an

:18:59. > :18:59.excellent volleying position. This break point chance of this game

:19:00. > :19:31.already. -- fifth break point. We were having a bit of a debate

:19:32. > :19:35.about the best volleyer in the top 100, not a lot to choose from. I

:19:36. > :19:58.think Murray is probably going to be pretty high up there.

:19:59. > :20:09.Turning defence into attack. That the difference, he can hit a

:20:10. > :20:12.Turning defence into attack. That ball with more impact on the run

:20:13. > :20:14.down Anderson. This shot right there. Anderson just cannot match

:20:15. > :20:59.that. Too good. He is going for it now, 140 mile --

:21:00. > :21:04.140 mph second serve. He has to do that. He does, but he has to do it

:21:05. > :21:30.on the ground strokes as well, moving forward.

:21:31. > :21:42.Devastating, that backhand return. He is just not used to somebody

:21:43. > :21:48.being able to do that. Put him in this bad a position. One of

:21:49. > :21:51.Murray's biggest challenges is dealing with adversity. He has not

:21:52. > :21:56.had too much adversity in this tournament. He has had ten break

:21:57. > :22:04.point today, though, and has only taken one.

:22:05. > :22:13.Wouldn't put him in the top 100... Top ten. It was the right idea,

:22:14. > :22:20.though. It should have been made, obviously. It was not so much that

:22:21. > :22:23.short, it was what he went through to try and hold on. He was under a

:22:24. > :22:30.lot of pressure in the whole game and that is what got him in the end.

:22:31. > :22:34.If serving and volleying is not your natural instinct, it is probably not

:22:35. > :22:39.a good idea to do it when you are a set down. You want to do it when you

:22:40. > :22:45.are in front, then use the tactic so you will be a little more

:22:46. > :22:50.comfortable later on. That is really deflated game for Anderson to lose.

:22:51. > :22:57.He put a locked into that. He is now a set and a break down. That has got

:22:58. > :23:05.to be depressing. -- he put a lock into that. -- a lot. The good news

:23:06. > :23:26.just keeps coming to Kevin. He is playing better. It is one

:23:27. > :23:30.thing he can try to hang his hat on. If you're going to have a long day

:23:31. > :23:34.at the office, there are worse places to have it down at Centre

:23:35. > :23:40.Court at Wimbledon. I this stage he is hoping it is a long day at the

:23:41. > :23:43.office. Never before has he reached a Grand Slam quarterfinal, it sure

:23:44. > :23:54.does not look like it will happen right now.

:23:55. > :24:11.Look what he just did, he hit the ball flat, straight up the line up

:24:12. > :24:16.over the biggest part of the net. He has hit its side spin, look at this,

:24:17. > :24:25.across the face of the ball, hardly any spin on it at all. A bit like

:24:26. > :24:27.Connors, do you agree? I do, I hear he is in the area. He would love

:24:28. > :24:46.that. Just not getting his feet through

:24:47. > :24:51.the courts at all. Look at his movement, almost stuck on the grass.

:24:52. > :24:58.At 81 miles an hour he has two move up a lot closer to the ball, rather

:24:59. > :25:38.than waiting for it. Cruises through another service

:25:39. > :25:48.game. Puts the pressure back on Anderson. Starting to feel the

:25:49. > :25:54.strain. His belief is dissipating. Definitely a few jackets going on.

:25:55. > :26:02.He could use the rain right now, that is for sure.

:26:03. > :26:38.This happened to Murray when he was up a break in the first set. They

:26:39. > :26:43.kept playing. Maybe the same thing will happen, a little drizzle. Very

:26:44. > :27:04.slight. You do not see that too much these

:27:05. > :27:08.days. Should he be careful? Murray knew exactly what was happening.

:27:09. > :27:13.Look at how far Murray was inside the baseline. When you are that big

:27:14. > :27:21.you do not have a lot of choice if you are Murray, that is the right

:27:22. > :27:27.shop. -- shot. You do not see much emotion from Kevin Anderson. Andy

:27:28. > :27:41.Murray does not want to see him angry, does he? Six foot eight.

:27:42. > :27:51.That is really rubbing it in. It is not great timing. If you have just

:27:52. > :28:00.pegged a guy in the chest and you have to go back to the locker room

:28:01. > :28:20.for a rain delay! Need to think ahead in this game.

:28:21. > :28:31.Missed that overhead in the previous service game comedy was not going to

:28:32. > :28:41.do the same then. -- in the previous service game, he was not going to do

:28:42. > :28:45.the same then. Murray is asking the umpire who is going to make a

:28:46. > :28:47.decision if the court is slippery and he said what kind of shoes have

:28:48. > :29:12.you got on? That is good. He has shown Anderson a clean pair

:29:13. > :29:15.of heels, that is for sure. When it gets a little slippery you back off

:29:16. > :29:18.a little because you want to give yourself a little extra time, but it

:29:19. > :29:21.is more green further back. yourself a little extra time, but it

:29:22. > :29:26.is A lot of good options. Let's hope it stops raining. That is the main

:29:27. > :29:46.thing. And that nobody takes a fall.

:29:47. > :29:55.What an exchange! A valiant effort from Anderson.

:29:56. > :30:03.It was a great effort, let see Anderson here. He says that set, I

:30:04. > :30:04.give up, but wait a second. If he moved back towards the court he

:30:05. > :30:38.could have gotten this. This would benefit Murray in the

:30:39. > :30:46.sense the ball will skid more and stay lower. Tougher for Anderson to

:30:47. > :30:55.deal with. It will be eight bigger cushion for Murray to have a double

:30:56. > :30:56.break -- a bigger cushion. Anderson just can't quite find his spots on

:30:57. > :31:22.the first serve. A double break, it Julia -- it is.

:31:23. > :31:29.As you say, Anderson and able to find his spots. Just a couple of

:31:30. > :31:36.aces today. He was averaging 21 in his first three matches. The rain

:31:37. > :31:50.hits hard. This. Now finally. They have not left the court yet. -- this

:31:51. > :31:57.will stop now finally. Djokovic, slight second, Murray, third, Nadal.

:31:58. > :32:09.These guys have more reach than Rafa Nadal at 6ft 1. Andy is 6ft 3. When

:32:10. > :32:17.you look up, he is behind the baseline. He overhit so often. They

:32:18. > :32:23.must expect this to blow by because they are putting up umbrellas. The

:32:24. > :32:30.problem is, on grass, even though there is a very small amount of

:32:31. > :32:40.drizzle, once the court gets damp... Grab your bags. It is

:32:41. > :32:52.stressful watching these guys run on, you think you will get run over.

:32:53. > :32:56.Well, he might be disappointed with the weather, but he will not be

:32:57. > :33:00.disappointed with his level of play and be situation he finds himself in

:33:01. > :33:06.right now. They set to the good and a couple of breaks up in the second

:33:07. > :33:09.set as he leaves Centre Court -- a set. It looks as though he will be

:33:10. > :33:21.returning once again deeper into the second week. Never a site you like

:33:22. > :33:26.to see, but the good news is that the roof will shut as pretty as

:33:27. > :33:37.possible, if they don't believe it will blow over as quickly as perhaps

:33:38. > :33:45.they thought. The Murray side of it have left. The Andersons are hanging

:33:46. > :33:50.around. Is that supposed to be a sunflower? It is in the wrong

:33:51. > :33:57.location right now! Lord knows what that is! It seemed like a good idea

:33:58. > :34:04.when he was groping around in the dark. Then to work -- in the dark

:34:05. > :34:13.for something to wear. Hi I thought my shirt was taking some chances! He

:34:14. > :34:24.is clearly decent in self defence. He is going to get a few comments

:34:25. > :34:34.wearing that today. SUE BARKER: Some variant to Billie

:34:35. > :34:37.Piper -- very interesting outfits on Centre Court. We will wait and see

:34:38. > :34:43.if they will close the roof. Around Wimbledon, the covers are going on

:34:44. > :34:50.and players are coming off. In the bottom right of your picture, they

:34:51. > :34:55.are putting the covers on, on Court One as well. The good trot against

:34:56. > :35:02.Leonardo Mayer, that has ended as well. -- Grigor Dimitrov against

:35:03. > :35:06.Leonardo Mayer. It is at least 20 minutes until players will go back

:35:07. > :35:19.on. What is happening outside the studio? Court number 18 is playing

:35:20. > :35:26.on. A lady 's doubles match. They operating it. And we are braving it

:35:27. > :35:31.in the studio. We are really roughing it.

:35:32. > :35:41.It is dangerous there. When it gets slippery. They are both very tall,

:35:42. > :35:49.it is a long way to fall. Yes. Even when you are a great athlete, you

:35:50. > :35:55.will fall. The players are not being wimps. Shale absorbs... How

:35:56. > :36:01.old-fashioned is that? The red clay at Roland Garros, it absorbs some

:36:02. > :36:05.monster. One false step on a grass court... Thursday of last year,

:36:06. > :36:11.everyone was going over, the injuries you get on a grass court

:36:12. > :36:16.can be severe. We don't want that. It becomes rather greasy. I did not

:36:17. > :36:20.think this was expected to day. When I woke up, it said maybe a shower

:36:21. > :36:27.around 5pm. Not this persistent showers. The good news is, it is

:36:28. > :36:34.quite breezy. Hopefully, it will move away. We pretend to become

:36:35. > :36:45.meteorological experts! What do you mean, pretend? There is an app. The

:36:46. > :36:50.rain is coming. Andy Murray, wonderful in the first week and he

:36:51. > :36:58.is continuing that. He was moving up in class today. I was talking to

:36:59. > :37:04.someone who does the ATP taught statistics. He knows everything. --

:37:05. > :37:11.ATP Tour. He reminded me 35 of the last 37 Grand Slams have been won by

:37:12. > :37:14.the top four. They have looked a class apart. Now that Djokovic

:37:15. > :37:20.moving through the gears as and when he has needed them. He has a test

:37:21. > :37:26.against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga later. Federer is returning to a place he

:37:27. > :37:32.has had for years. Like King Canute. Nadal in practice yesterday, how do

:37:33. > :37:37.we get across what he is like? He is just extraordinary. The Tennessee

:37:38. > :37:39.plays is ridiculous. He was practising his slice backhand

:37:40. > :37:47.yesterday. After the French Open when he was obviously exhausted,

:37:48. > :37:52.lost and it was a nonevent. He seems to be recharging his batteries. He

:37:53. > :37:56.gets better and better, like all of the champions. I would say I think

:37:57. > :38:04.he is probably the favourite now. I started with Djokovic. Then I saw

:38:05. > :38:12.Murray and then Federer. I have gone the same route! As the tournament

:38:13. > :38:20.goes on and his physicality, how can you beat him over five sets? Do that

:38:21. > :38:25.again. That is what he has got. The mental present he takes on to court.

:38:26. > :38:29.Even watching guys practice against him, you don't take your eyes off

:38:30. > :38:34.him. The charismatic force he takes on to court is something to behold.

:38:35. > :38:39.Whether or not it becomes an indoor tournament in the second week, I

:38:40. > :38:48.don't get makes too much difference to him. Is the roof moving? It is

:38:49. > :38:54.moving. They will be walking back on in about ten minutes. Good. That is

:38:55. > :38:58.what is happening. How will that change the match, with the roof? I

:38:59. > :39:03.suppose if you are clutching at straws in terms of Kevin Anderson,

:39:04. > :39:08.you would say he might want to play on an indoor court more than on an

:39:09. > :39:13.outdoor court. Frankly, Andy Murray is lastly experienced on the indoor

:39:14. > :39:18.and outdoor and playing on Centre Court. You look at the matchup and

:39:19. > :39:23.for all our build up of these contests and of course we want to

:39:24. > :39:27.see a great match. We have not seen that many great matches on Centre

:39:28. > :39:32.Court this year. I cannot see how Kevin Anderson can really affect the

:39:33. > :39:37.outcome of this at the moment unless Andy gets injured. He is playing so

:39:38. > :39:42.well. Striking the ball superbly. Seeing the Anderson serve. He has

:39:43. > :39:48.got him nullified at the moment. The news for him, take a break and take

:39:49. > :39:54.a breather and give his best against Andy later. Personally, I think the

:39:55. > :39:58.big match today will be now that Djokovic against Jo-Wilfried

:39:59. > :40:06.Tsonga. If Jo-Wilfried Tsonga can play at his best. Andy has been in

:40:07. > :40:11.awesome form. Almost every service game he has had Anderson on the run.

:40:12. > :40:16.Once he steps inside the baseline, and starts dictating... Three or

:40:17. > :40:20.four years ago, we were saying, it would be best if he stepped in and

:40:21. > :40:25.took control of the rally and got the first week it in. It took Ivan

:40:26. > :40:28.Lendl to tell him probably and his own realisation that he could not

:40:29. > :40:33.afford just to tell him probably and his own realisation that he could

:40:34. > :40:36.not afford justice it that and his defence is I would not only called

:40:37. > :40:42.because there are others who do it as well I think there are 2000

:40:43. > :40:49.square feet on a tennis court and he knows how to cover every single one

:40:50. > :40:56.of them. He has got variety. He has got a wonderful lob. Look at that!

:40:57. > :41:01.That is beautiful. I did not see that. That just shows the talent he

:41:02. > :41:06.has got, the ability to pull off a shot like that. It is not just about

:41:07. > :41:13.rude strength. He has got real guile as well -- brute strength. It is

:41:14. > :41:17.one-way traffic. Hello! That belongs in a different sport.

:41:18. > :41:29.I sort Grigor Dimitrov hit a shot I did not know how to describe.

:41:30. > :41:33.Another guy with immense talent. Seeing Andrew like this, we have

:41:34. > :41:39.talked about this year being worried that he has not been in a final. He

:41:40. > :41:44.lost easily to Rafa in the French Open. But you are not worried

:41:45. > :41:51.anymore. He made the semifinal of the French. Tough match. He played

:41:52. > :41:55.Philipp Kohlschreiber and others. He had the matches that gave him the

:41:56. > :41:59.belief that not only could he win long matches that he could last

:42:00. > :42:02.physically. Anyone who has had surgery will understand this. You

:42:03. > :42:06.feel a little vulnerable and your view of the world changes a little

:42:07. > :42:12.bit. You are sitting in the knickers they give you and they inject you

:42:13. > :42:16.and you have to come back from that and you don't know whether it will

:42:17. > :42:24.work. But I think he has got through that. It is trusting your body as

:42:25. > :42:27.well. It is going to 99% is fine, but against fellow superstar

:42:28. > :42:32.athletes which is what these guys have become, you need the extra 1%.

:42:33. > :42:37.Even to push further and test new limits. This generation physically,

:42:38. > :42:43.I have not seen for or five guys at the top. And I believe they have

:42:44. > :42:46.been joined by Grigor Dimitrov in terms of ability. Let us have a chat

:42:47. > :42:52.with the guys waiting on Centre Court. There they are. We are

:42:53. > :42:59.talking about the wonderful five players and Grigor Dimitrov is part

:43:00. > :43:05.of that now. No. Not yet. Sorry. I like to think he could win but he

:43:06. > :43:09.has got work to do. A couple of your comments were very interesting. All

:43:10. > :43:14.of you English seem surprised, oh, my gosh, it is raining. House of

:43:15. > :43:26.rising! The other one -- how sap rising. I agree that Andrew Castle

:43:27. > :43:30.mentioned Andy Murray is feeling better because he was able to go

:43:31. > :43:38.through the tough five set matches at the French, but part of the

:43:39. > :43:43.reason he was blown out, demolished, Byner -- by Nadal was because of the

:43:44. > :43:46.effort he spent to get there. It is looking more promising for him now

:43:47. > :43:51.because he has not put forth extra effort. Talking about the weather,

:43:52. > :43:58.when you woke up, the forecast was maybe a slight chance, maybe no

:43:59. > :44:04.rain. Yes, we are surprised. I thought it was summer here. I am

:44:05. > :44:09.going nuts with the outfit. John thought he was coming to Hawaii. We

:44:10. > :44:15.have seen enough flowers on the shirt and the guy on Centre Court.

:44:16. > :44:22.Don't compare this wonderful shirt and that pathetic outfit. At least

:44:23. > :44:27.he was keeping dry and sensible with the green jumper. I will give him

:44:28. > :44:34.that. One thing we agree on is that Murray is raising his level and

:44:35. > :44:39.looking in awesome form. We have all of the statistics. The way he has

:44:40. > :44:47.been able to nullify Anderson's serve, Anderson has only hit two

:44:48. > :44:52.aces today. In the baseline exchanges, there has only been one

:44:53. > :45:00.winner. In the last game, you sensed Murray's slight anxiety, to get the

:45:01. > :45:04.second break, he will feel very comfortable about proceedings going

:45:05. > :45:08.forward. That is the thing. When the court that slippery, you are

:45:09. > :45:14.thinking, I don't want to get injured. To be honest, I think Andy

:45:15. > :45:23.moves like the best on this surface. The little steps are something that

:45:24. > :45:27.the juniors are not taught these days. Andy is a great exponent of

:45:28. > :45:31.that. When it gets greasy, it probably plays to his hands. With

:45:32. > :45:37.the movement and also because the ball comes through at such a

:45:38. > :45:44.low-level. Against a guy like Anderson, it is a nightmare for him.

:45:45. > :45:48.In terms of the way that the top four have carried themselves over

:45:49. > :45:54.the first week, is there any sign from anybody of improvement? John,

:45:55. > :46:02.particularly, do you think the title could be coming anyone's why? You

:46:03. > :46:07.could make an argument for all four of the guys. Nadal lifting his way

:46:08. > :46:11.when he needed to. Taking the extra gear. Andy has looked great from the

:46:12. > :46:17.start. Spectacular movement. He moves better than any of the guys at

:46:18. > :46:21.this stage on the grass. You have got Novak Djokovic who was driven

:46:22. > :46:25.crazy by Radek Stepanek. We were a little worried with him because of

:46:26. > :46:31.the fall. Is anything going on there? The great Roger Federer, he

:46:32. > :46:34.turned back the clock little bit. I went to palm springs earlier this

:46:35. > :46:38.year and saw him play Novak Djokovic. I did not think was

:46:39. > :46:46.possible. Now at his age, he moved better in that match, the first set

:46:47. > :46:50.or two, then Novak Djokovic. He wants to prove people wrong. It is

:46:51. > :46:55.hard to say. They are all so great in their own ways. It is going to be

:46:56. > :46:59.hard for any of the contenders to match up with them. Federer is yet

:47:00. > :47:05.to drop his serve in the Championships. We talked a bit about

:47:06. > :47:10.it earlier. With the rain, he is going to have to play back-to-back

:47:11. > :47:16.matches. I disagree with that schedule. It hurts Roger to have to

:47:17. > :47:20.play have affected the four matches in six days -- to play

:47:21. > :47:23.hypothetically. Because he has one as I'm times, they have got to make

:47:24. > :47:31.it tougher on him? I don't know what they decided. They just have to keep

:47:32. > :47:35.the whole half of the draw but... It is difficult. In a scenario like

:47:36. > :47:38.today, you put Roger on Centre Court and then he is able to finish as

:47:39. > :47:43.much and the other guys are playing on the outside courts and then he

:47:44. > :47:48.will be two rounds in front. I don't know at what stage John would say

:47:49. > :47:53.that it is unfair. They want to keep the section is the same. It is

:47:54. > :47:56.difficult. Right now when it seems amazing to me we have had this

:47:57. > :48:01.tournament for 130 years and we have done well without a roof at 120

:48:02. > :48:08.years. Now we have got one and need two. Times change. We are waiting

:48:09. > :48:14.for the players to come back on. We will have a little bit of fun now.

:48:15. > :48:20.Tim, you will enjoy this. We have been talking about the Copa-Uppy

:48:21. > :48:24.challenge. His big moment. We had Rafa Nadal in the studio and then he

:48:25. > :48:37.went in the office and this is Tim Henman's go at keepy-uppy. Andy

:48:38. > :48:40.Murray got to 78. John McEnroe was the umpire for this. Look at that!

:48:41. > :48:47.92! CHEERING

:48:48. > :48:53.Very proudly, the BBC commentary team led by Tim Henman tops the

:48:54. > :48:59.leaderboard with 92. Andy Murray and 78. He is going to maybe want to

:49:00. > :49:01.have another go. Anyway, let's see some more people. Here are the

:49:02. > :50:04.latest challenges. Look at that score! Is that

:50:05. > :50:09.cumulative? Just that one guy, Brandon Thompson. He is on the

:50:10. > :50:15.leaderboard. It is fair to say, we may as well hand him the profile

:50:16. > :50:23.now. First of all, I challenge it. Second of all, we left at seven and

:50:24. > :50:31.came back at over 2000. Severe editing. Are you going to have a go?

:50:32. > :50:38.I am going to practice and watch the US -Belgian tomorrow. I will try to

:50:39. > :50:43.give it a shot. I will hope to beat Mark Petchey at nine. Mark, we will

:50:44. > :50:53.have to see yours again. It is the most enjoyable of all. Bowl, no. It

:50:54. > :51:00.is all about quality -- Oh, no. We will show it later. The good news is

:51:01. > :51:06.that players are out on Centre Court. Play is about to get under

:51:07. > :51:14.way under the roof. Andy Murray up against Kevin Anderson. The

:51:15. > :51:20.Copa-Uppy thing is quite amazing. It was lovely Andy wanted to have a go.

:51:21. > :51:24.That is part of his warm up routine. It just goes to show how relaxed

:51:25. > :51:28.here is that he will contribute to something like that. There are

:51:29. > :51:34.cameras and people. Everybody wants a little piece of these players the

:51:35. > :51:41.whole time. The fact he gave gave a little piece shows us all how

:51:42. > :51:49.comfortable he is. Amelie Mauresmo should have a go. She is a big

:51:50. > :51:58.football fan. I know he will not let it lie that Tim Henman is ahead. You

:51:59. > :52:03.saw Tim Henman right after he did it and I saw him five minutes later and

:52:04. > :52:09.he was still soaked. He was prepared to ruin a perfectly lovely expensive

:52:10. > :52:13.suit in order to win. That is how competitive he is underneath the

:52:14. > :52:18.smooth exterior. He sent a text to Andy as soon as he had done it. We

:52:19. > :52:23.talk about Murray and his competitiveness and everything but

:52:24. > :52:26.he seems to be revelling in this role here at Wimbledon and enjoying

:52:27. > :52:34.the fact he is here as reigning champion. And are the nerves and

:52:35. > :52:39.pressure and even the headlines. It was a gorilla on his back -- gone

:52:40. > :52:42.are the nerves. He has achieved things that no British player has

:52:43. > :52:48.emerged for tens of years. Every time he stepped on the court, he was

:52:49. > :52:52.breaking records. It was not until he won Wimbledon that he probably

:52:53. > :52:56.felt, I have done something here, I don't think even realised how

:52:57. > :52:59.difficult it would be to win the last game against Novak Djokovic

:53:00. > :53:04.last year. Why wouldn't you come back here and enjoy your role as

:53:05. > :53:08.defending champion? Here is that the height of his career, probably. He

:53:09. > :53:12.might have another year or two of improvement. Who knows. Why wouldn't

:53:13. > :53:19.you come back and enjoy even on a day like today your role? This is

:53:20. > :53:23.his stage. We really ought to make the most of him because I don't know

:53:24. > :53:26.what is coming next but we would be very lucky if we have

:53:27. > :53:30.what is coming next but we would be these for another generation or two.

:53:31. > :53:33.They are quite rare. It is not having a go at anybody. Quite a

:53:34. > :53:37.magnificent tennis player. I am having a go at anybody. Quite a

:53:38. > :53:41.sure the fans are enjoying it too much. Trying to make the most of it.

:53:42. > :53:46.They will be watching on the big screen. Others hoping to get play

:53:47. > :53:51.outside. Grigor Dimitrov is on Court One at the moment. He has taken the

:53:52. > :53:56.first set. Leonardo Mayer will have to come out at 30-15 to serve to

:53:57. > :54:00.stay in the second set. On Court Three, Agnieszka Radwanska looks as

:54:01. > :54:14.if she will be going out of the tournament. Makarova is looking

:54:15. > :54:20.good. We are looking forward to seeing Andy on court against Kevin.

:54:21. > :54:27.So are these people. They are in the resale queue. As people leave, the

:54:28. > :54:31.tickets resold. They are hoping to get onto Centre Court. They have got

:54:32. > :54:35.Murray and still to come Novak against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Good

:54:36. > :54:38.luck to them, I hope they are awarded. It was lovely watching the

:54:39. > :54:42.Andy Murray documentary the other day about someone who stood in the

:54:43. > :54:47.stands and real fans getting into the Centre Court to see history.

:54:48. > :54:52.Someone gave me a hug on the outside courts the other day. I was

:54:53. > :54:57.wandering around. This had been their dream to come to Wimbledon for

:54:58. > :55:01.years. They had been successful in the ballot after being unsuccessful

:55:02. > :55:04.at their club and she was in the grounds and rain or not she was

:55:05. > :55:09.still having a great time. There is only about this event. It is huge as

:55:10. > :55:14.a sporting event, as a cultural event, and it seems to get bigger

:55:15. > :55:20.each year. When there is a court -- when there is a roof on Court One,

:55:21. > :55:27.we will have two courts operating. Absolutely. Roll on the blue sky. No

:55:28. > :55:35.problem for us on BBC Two. We are heading straight to Centre Court.

:55:36. > :55:39.Let us rejoin the boys in the box. They are going to rejoin battle very

:55:40. > :55:47.soon as they get towards the end of the warm up serves. Scottish fans in

:55:48. > :55:51.place. Murray in pole position in this particular encounter. Perfect

:55:52. > :56:02.time to get off the court with the double break. They are going -- I am

:56:03. > :56:11.going to have to ask both of you, about the roof army across, is this

:56:12. > :56:16.going to favour Andy? -- the roof coming across. I do not think it

:56:17. > :56:21.will. Presumably Anderson could go bigger. It is a little warmer when

:56:22. > :56:28.it is closed. That means, to me, it should go through the air a little

:56:29. > :56:33.quicker. Is that right? You talk about the humidity, if it goes up,

:56:34. > :56:39.does that make the air heavier? Does it make a slower? For me, any break

:56:40. > :56:43.in proceedings is going to be a good thing for Anderson. Down a set and a

:56:44. > :56:48.double break, he needed to maybe get back to the locker room and chat to

:56:49. > :56:55.his coach, think of a few new ideas, anything to slow the Murray

:56:56. > :57:04.train. In essence, he is two sets down. How much effort is he going to

:57:05. > :57:14.put in to get back into this set? Your opinion would be? I taught

:57:15. > :57:18.earlier to someone who... You have got to keep making your opponent

:57:19. > :57:27.work as hard as possible. In this situation, he has won a five set

:57:28. > :57:33.match here, he has worked extremely hard on his fitness, I would hope

:57:34. > :57:42.that right off the bat, I generally agree totally that you want to see

:57:43. > :57:48.players go at 100%, but if he is 4-0 down, identity should exert himself

:57:49. > :57:54.more than he needs to hold onto his serve and get confidence because he

:57:55. > :58:01.will still have to come from 2-love down. He has done that twice. I

:58:02. > :58:06.can't envisage a scenario where he could come from two breaks down.

:58:07. > :58:17.This first game, give it a real go, try to get one of them back. Then

:58:18. > :58:21.maybe take it to five three or 5-4. Both of those matches wearing recent

:58:22. > :58:29.memory from Anderson's point of view. The optimistic scenarios are

:58:30. > :58:33.few and far between right now. I think Anderson should have a real

:58:34. > :58:39.good go at this service game. Murray has had a half an hour break and

:58:40. > :58:41.might struggle to find his rhythm. An early break could get him back in

:58:42. > :59:30.this second set. The only time Andy has lost from 2-0

:59:31. > :59:37.up was when I was working with him so we can discount that one. David

:59:38. > :59:47.Nalbandian? Yeah. Here on this court.

:59:48. > :59:56.It was not the coach's fault, it was the physical trainer's fault, wasn't

:59:57. > :00:48.it? That is what I thought. That is what I told him!

:00:49. > :00:55.That time of the court seems to have done him some good, he is hitting a

:00:56. > :00:57.clean ball right now, Murray seems a little stiff. The wrong shot from

:00:58. > :01:37.Murray. Clearly. Not put a whole lot in his serve

:01:38. > :01:44.yet, that one only 103, and he is about to pay the price for this week

:01:45. > :01:48.game. Anderson, a couple of break points, has yet to break. First

:01:49. > :02:05.chance. He steps it up, 127. A massive

:02:06. > :02:36.change of direction, as well. Peppered that forehand.

:02:37. > :02:44.Well, there is one of the breaks. He was obviously listening to you, to

:02:45. > :02:52.believe he could get back into it with the break. If you were

:02:53. > :02:57.listening, you would have heard... Go for this game. Still work to do.

:02:58. > :03:15.One of the two breaks back. He was looking to serve and volley

:03:16. > :03:25.straight away, Anderson, off that first serve.

:03:26. > :03:44.Let's not forget, he has broken three times already. Not a foregone

:03:45. > :03:47.conclusion he is going to hold. Andy only broken three times in the

:03:48. > :04:17.tournament. I think, incredibly, he is down at

:04:18. > :04:27.about 50% of first points one, Anderson. Remarkable to think he is

:04:28. > :05:00.one of the biggest servers on tour. -- points won.

:05:01. > :05:16.That was good coverage at the net this time from Anderson. That is

:05:17. > :05:24.where that reach comes in handy, that six foot eight wingspan. Not

:05:25. > :05:37.even at full stretch he is able to put that volley away fairly easily.

:05:38. > :05:38.It is brilliant, absolutely exhilarating watching these players

:05:39. > :05:46.on the run. exhilarating watching these players

:05:47. > :05:50.Murray. Clearly exhilarating watching these players

:05:51. > :05:57.coach, will be saying you have to employ more serve and volley, this

:05:58. > :05:58.is a beautiful half-volley. This gives Murray the chance to break

:05:59. > :06:35.right back. Looked like Andy have moved forward

:06:36. > :06:37.a couple of times and taken the ball in the air. He should have won this

:06:38. > :07:10.point. As good as his vision is coming it

:07:11. > :07:15.cannot be perfect every time, Murray. Perhaps dropping that one

:07:16. > :07:19.short because of the serve and volley the previous time from

:07:20. > :07:25.Anderson. Sometimes the benefits are not always obvious straight away.

:07:26. > :07:39.Just flat out great returning. Look where he puts the ball. He does a

:07:40. > :08:29.reasonable job to scoop that up. APPLAUSE

:08:30. > :08:35.A sense of relief flooding through Anderson.

:08:36. > :08:42.A crucial game for him to hang onto his serve to get the added benefit

:08:43. > :08:55.from the one break of serve he managed to achieve at the restart.

:08:56. > :08:59.sudden, this set. Murray was probably wondering the first thing a

:09:00. > :09:04.lot of us while. What was Anderson capable of as he came back out onto

:09:05. > :09:09.the court? He has proven to be very professional about coming out and

:09:10. > :09:14.trying to take it right to him. That first service break to get into the

:09:15. > :09:20.set, at least. Now nerves could play a factor. You are absolutely dead on

:09:21. > :09:25.when you said that serving and volleying does not necessarily play

:09:26. > :09:31.dividends at a particular point, but just knowing he is willing to move

:09:32. > :09:37.forward makes Murray hesitate that little bit. His net play, tea has

:09:38. > :09:45.been to the net far more than Murray, 25 times. Starting to have a

:09:46. > :09:51.positive impact, finally. I said this guy would go the extra mile. A

:09:52. > :10:00.couple of years ago he got his coach to drive around for a special

:10:01. > :10:07.vinegar that would help his digestive system. Vinegar, the stuff

:10:08. > :10:12.you put on your fish and chips. I thought that would give you

:10:13. > :10:20.heartburn. I do not know where Mark finds these nuggets of information.

:10:21. > :10:30.He is a different guy right now. I personally think you should get out

:10:31. > :10:36.a bit more often! Hitting the ball with a lot more authority, Anderson.

:10:37. > :10:43.Murray has to take control of this set again with his serve. Don't get

:10:44. > :10:44.tentative, he has two start to step up like he did in the first set and

:10:45. > :10:57.a half. That is a little bit more on it, but

:10:58. > :11:05.safe, 108, enough to get the job done. Certainly if you are serving

:11:06. > :11:09.at 108 you need good placement with a guy that is six foot eight and

:11:10. > :11:15.that wingspan. If it is not in the corner, it can come back with

:11:16. > :11:16.interest. That is the one that has been getting him time and time

:11:17. > :11:30.again. Even if he does get it back, it is

:11:31. > :11:34.extremely difficult to Anderson. I don't know why does not force Murray

:11:35. > :11:48.to go up to the middle. A couple of steps to his right.

:11:49. > :11:59.He is definitely capable of hitting a block forehand return, that was a

:12:00. > :12:01.perfectly played one. More variety than I have seen from him for a

:12:02. > :12:22.while, impressive. They're finally was one time too

:12:23. > :12:30.many. Amazingly this could level the set. Totally different atmosphere.

:12:31. > :12:34.Murray up a set and two breaks, the crowd comfortable and enjoying what

:12:35. > :12:35.they are seeing. Suddenly ten minutes into the resumption it has

:12:36. > :13:10.got a little bit nervous out here. Put a lot into that second serve.

:13:11. > :13:14.Playing with fire a bit, there. 96 mph top Murray on the second serve,

:13:15. > :13:22.11 or 12 miles an hour faster than average. You can bookmark that

:13:23. > :13:30.second serve if he goes on to a straight sets win, that was massive.

:13:31. > :14:00.That is the fastest serve he has hit today, 128.

:14:01. > :14:17.A really awkward moment for Murray. But he comes through it.

:14:18. > :14:26.It's the ball so hard, swings so hard, the ball is beaten up rather

:14:27. > :14:33.badly. The last game before new balls come into play. Anderson had a

:14:34. > :14:41.little chance, as much as he could have hoped for. To miraculously get

:14:42. > :14:57.back into this set. Not out of it yet.

:14:58. > :15:04.More of a thumping sound to that serve.

:15:05. > :15:11.Plays with a very old school racket, Anderson comedy does not need any

:15:12. > :15:12.more power. He has tried a couple of powerful ones but he says it gets

:15:13. > :15:52.away from him. Didn't well on the disappointment at

:15:53. > :15:58.all, Anderson, at not breaking Murray to get back on level terms.

:15:59. > :16:06.This is a fantastic game. Making full use of the new balls.

:16:07. > :16:26.Neville Godwin would have had a few words, the way Kevin has come out

:16:27. > :16:30.and play. There has certainly been a change of tactics. I ask why does it

:16:31. > :16:34.take our and 20 minutes and a rain delay for the player to work that

:16:35. > :16:38.out? Surely they have to be able to think on their feet. Down in the

:16:39. > :16:45.first set, things not going as they thought, change it up. I will tell

:16:46. > :16:49.you why, nerves. You walk out into this situation, when you have never

:16:50. > :16:52.been in before. It is virtually impossible for a guy like this,

:16:53. > :16:58.Kevin Anderson. You do not hear a lot about him, but he is well

:16:59. > :17:05.respected in the locker room. A late Bloomer. Currently playing

:17:06. > :17:11.absolutely the best tennis of his life, to try and keep this close.

:17:12. > :17:17.You said the third time in a row he has been in the final 16 other

:17:18. > :17:23.major, quite an achievement for him. This is a fantastic time for him,

:17:24. > :17:27.but to walk out to the greatest court in the world come he just

:17:28. > :17:30.wasn't able to do things and Murray would not let him. Now you see what

:17:31. > :17:48.he is capable of. He spent a lot of his formative

:17:49. > :17:54.years, at college with the tournament director in Australia, a

:17:55. > :18:00.wonderful winning record in Ella boy. He went out on the tour

:18:01. > :18:02.virtually on his own and just have the back-up at the University. He

:18:03. > :18:08.did try and figure a few things out. the back-up at the University. He

:18:09. > :18:12.did try and figure -- Illinois. Out of all the stories coming he has one

:18:13. > :18:19.of the most incredible. As I said at the start of the match. He grew up

:18:20. > :18:24.playing swing ball on a rope. On the wall his father built. His father

:18:25. > :18:25.coached him out of the book I am not familiar with, it is called total

:18:26. > :18:39.tennis training. It is so old his dad was taping it

:18:40. > :18:46.together as he would prepare the next lesson. He certainly has not

:18:47. > :18:52.had... Couldn't he get another book? I think there is only one.

:18:53. > :18:58.This thing is an antique, it should be in a museum. I think the chapter

:18:59. > :18:59.on serve and volley, maybe he lost that before the seller tapes it

:19:00. > :19:16.together. -- taped it together. Just out of curiosity,

:19:17. > :19:21.when that book was written? I do not know, but it was obviously out when

:19:22. > :19:29.he was practising. If he is 28 it could be 20 years ago.

:19:30. > :19:35.Revolutionary! Quick, I am going to get on Amazon and order a copy for

:19:36. > :19:40.you, John. I do not think it comes in an electronic book, I am afraid

:19:41. > :19:48.you cannot download it. A quick ball from Murray. What he expected when

:19:49. > :19:54.he came back on court. He has weathered the storm. Got himself in

:19:55. > :20:15.a great position to lead by two set.

:20:16. > :20:23.Sounds bigger now than it did before, the serve.

:20:24. > :20:33.Amazing fee only four aces that the day. 67 for the tournament.

:20:34. > :22:11.Lets not forget, Murray is one of the greatest return as you will ever

:22:12. > :22:12.see, and he is starting to make Anderson work more regain, then his

:22:13. > :23:17.points. -- earn his points. A similar way he lost the serve in

:23:18. > :23:26.the opening set in the first, this time he loses the second set. Murray

:23:27. > :23:30.in control. SUE BARKER: Murray two sets up on Centre Court. We will be

:23:31. > :23:34.back there in a moment. As for the weather outside, I am afraid it has

:23:35. > :23:38.not got any better. It is still raining very heavily indeed.

:23:39. > :23:43.Everyone trying to keep dry. Still watching the tennis unfold on the

:23:44. > :23:47.Hill. I think people are beginning to run out of patience, hoping play

:23:48. > :23:52.will get underway on outside courts. We have so many matches to

:23:53. > :23:55.be completed. Many fourth-round matches. It looks as though we are

:23:56. > :24:01.going to have plenty of play on Tuesday and Wednesday as they try

:24:02. > :24:06.and catch up on the Mac is not completed. We will be back on Centre

:24:07. > :24:13.Court in a moment. Some matches have finished today. Feliciano Lopez has

:24:14. > :24:19.thick Mac over John Isner. Lopez has a big serve himself. Finalist of

:24:20. > :24:22.Queen's, winner of Eastbourne and still going strong, key is through

:24:23. > :24:31.to the fourth round. It means he will be back on court tomorrow.

:24:32. > :24:37.Marin Cilic is also through com he defeated Jeremy Chardy of France.

:24:38. > :24:43.Now there is only one Frenchman left, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. He is up

:24:44. > :24:47.against Djokovic last on Centre Court. Three sets, he is through and

:24:48. > :24:54.will face Djokovic or songs are. Stan Wawrinka is through having beat

:24:55. > :24:57.Denis Istomin. He has been very outspoken in his press conference

:24:58. > :25:02.about the organisers and the fact he faces playing three matches in three

:25:03. > :25:08.days. Wawrinka through to face Lopez. Back we go.

:25:09. > :25:19.MARK PETCHEY: It is Anderson who has his back against the wall as we

:25:20. > :25:34.start the third set, trailing by two set to love.

:25:35. > :25:49.Andersen unpleasantly surprised. He seemed to be in a position to hit

:25:50. > :25:58.it, sort of moseyed over and it dropped on the outside of the line.

:25:59. > :26:04.You have to think about how deflating it is that he lost that

:26:05. > :26:05.after putting so much of an effort. He has got to keep that intensity

:26:06. > :26:22.sky-high here. It is hard not to get down if you

:26:23. > :26:24.are Kevin Anderson. Murray has gone wide so often to the forehand. That

:26:25. > :26:41.can open up the one down the middle. A another ball clips off the line.

:26:42. > :27:03.Another win of service game. I am assuming the same here, you

:27:04. > :27:07.cannot teach an old dog new tricks. The game where Anderson was serving

:27:08. > :27:14.and he chose to stay back, resorted back to what he did and let Murray

:27:15. > :27:18.into the point, the ball floated. Then he probably thought, I should

:27:19. > :27:22.have done it the last point. But then Murray is thinking, that is

:27:23. > :27:25.probably what he is going to do. It is where the game gets really

:27:26. > :27:31.complex. Anderson is thinking, now what do I

:27:32. > :27:56.do? Pray Murray's level drops. Spent a little time before Madrid,

:27:57. > :28:01.the clay-court tournament, with Ivan Lendl practising, Kevin Anderson. A

:28:02. > :28:03.few people making comments on whether he was going to pick his

:28:04. > :28:15.brain before this match. Richard Branson loves to play

:28:16. > :28:39.tennis, he is very competitive. Interesting rules, Richard Branson

:28:40. > :28:49.has to win. CHUCKLES Just kidding! Is that why you didn't

:28:50. > :29:05.go back? Touch?. You will be happy to know that they

:29:06. > :29:11.want me back this year. Let me guess who you are playing with. Who am I

:29:12. > :29:37.playing with? Richard Branson. Murray just playing the percentage

:29:38. > :29:43.com he did not want to give Anderson one shot to finish the point. Happy

:29:44. > :30:15.to restart the point. Anderson offering up another on. . -- error.

:30:16. > :30:25.should be very careful to use that against Anderson. It is in his

:30:26. > :31:29.strike zone, perfect for him to rip it across court, which he did.

:31:30. > :31:40.Anderson must be fairly if not totally thoroughly disgusted that he

:31:41. > :31:44.is getting burned on that serve time after time. Made some adjustments in

:31:45. > :31:48.the rest of his game. Probably needs to look at where he is standing to

:31:49. > :32:19.return the Murray serve. Simple put away, and at the moment

:32:20. > :32:25.he is putting away Anderson pretty simply. Anderson is very flat on the

:32:26. > :32:29.return. On the second serve he moves inside the baseline, but when you

:32:30. > :32:37.watch him on the first serve he literally does the splits step up

:32:38. > :32:41.and straight down. You would want to encourage him to cut off the angles

:32:42. > :32:48.so that forward momentum would help you do that. It is something we

:32:49. > :32:52.looked at earlier in the match, how Murray gets his movement going

:32:53. > :32:58.forward, takes the splits step, then he is able to go in either

:32:59. > :33:01.direction. You can imagine how tough Anderson would be if he was

:33:02. > :33:04.direction. You can imagine how tough Anderson would be if able to explode

:33:05. > :33:11.off that return, just attack it. You don't get the sense of him or Isner

:33:12. > :33:15.putting their full weight into it. Either they are not able to... I

:33:16. > :33:22.have just got to think they are not able to because any coach who has

:33:23. > :33:28.coached these guys must have said that. Maybe all of them have

:33:29. > :33:37.maximised their potential but they are not in the same league,

:33:38. > :33:43.athletically, as the top dogs. They need to be like some of those NBA

:33:44. > :34:03.players. Those guys are athletes, that's for sure.

:34:04. > :34:17.Six foot six is still the tallest man ever to have won Grand Slam in

:34:18. > :34:25.the form of Del Potro, and it is a shame he's not here.

:34:26. > :34:36.Wrist surgery again. Career threatening. Hope to see him back

:34:37. > :34:49.soon. Not going to help the ranking, not

:34:50. > :34:55.making the top ten ranking because he is unable to defend the points he

:34:56. > :35:22.got in the semis last year. That's what I always admired when I

:35:23. > :35:29.watched Stefan Edberg play, he would hit the return, I should have known

:35:30. > :35:35.better, but you would look up and he would be on top of the net. It

:35:36. > :35:37.seemed like a split-2nd. One of the best I have ever seen moving

:35:38. > :36:14.forward. He has struggled to make

:36:15. > :36:21.adjustments. One of the guys who he has struggled against over the years

:36:22. > :36:27.is Tomas Berdych. He hasn't found a way past him. In five Grand Slams,

:36:28. > :36:32.five or six Masters events, I mean just think what his ranking would be

:36:33. > :36:40.if he hadn't met Tomas Berdych. That's what makes these top four

:36:41. > :36:42.players so great, the layers in their game that they have to beat

:36:43. > :37:12.you. He rectified the error on the first

:37:13. > :37:18.volley. Murray saw this coming. He gave away what he was going to do,

:37:19. > :37:23.that drop volley, but maybe he felt bad because he had hit them before.

:37:24. > :37:25.Straight in the chest, bad because he had hit them before.

:37:26. > :37:36.Straight in but I think after the last time he felt bad.

:37:37. > :37:43.Now he is obviously upset he didn't do it, because he ended up losing

:37:44. > :37:57.the point. That is one answer, challenging. I think it is almost

:37:58. > :38:04.the first challenge of the match as well, isn't it? It is. One hour 44

:38:05. > :38:06.minutes, two and a half sets, the line judge has done a pretty good

:38:07. > :38:50.job! That is the shot of the tournament

:38:51. > :38:55.so far. APPLAUSE Amazingly it is the second

:38:56. > :38:58.time he has hit this type of shot in the match.

:38:59. > :39:00.It looks like point over. It was hoping to come back to him and get

:39:01. > :39:31.one last look. Old school again. He has always have those types of

:39:32. > :39:36.shots up his sleeve, it is one of the reasons why he rose up the

:39:37. > :39:42.rankings so quickly. There is a touch of genius to his tennis. He

:39:43. > :39:52.has always had incredible feel for the ball. He can do virtually

:39:53. > :40:01.anything. You mentioned earlier that you had punched him and he needed to

:40:02. > :40:12.get stronger when he lost to Nalbandian. -- coached him. His

:40:13. > :40:25.second serve can be vulnerable at times, and he could make life easier

:40:26. > :40:33.for himself. To me, a tremendous volleyer. You cannot ask for more

:40:34. > :40:36.from those spectators, so resilient in the face of bad weather. Always

:40:37. > :42:05.optimistic out on the hill. Outrageous skill. What vivid

:42:06. > :42:19.imagination to even be creative enough to come up with that shot.

:42:20. > :43:21.Look That is what Usain Bolt looks like

:43:22. > :43:27.with a racket in his hand. He's not allowed to anticipate though. Murray

:43:28. > :43:32.is fast but his anticipation is to none. Maybe that's where it comes in

:43:33. > :44:14.handy that he has practised with Anderson in the past.

:44:15. > :44:33.Just long. UMPIRE: The ball was called out. The lines man overruled.

:44:34. > :44:38.It looked like it went long. I was chatting to Peter Fleming a little

:44:39. > :44:44.while ago and we were talking about your practice sessions with Jimmy

:44:45. > :44:50.Connors in 1982. He obviously attended a practice with Pete, but

:44:51. > :44:57.there was a time when you practised with Jimmy a lot. Big mistake. You

:44:58. > :45:02.lost to him at Queen's and Wimbledon, but did you learn

:45:03. > :45:07.something from him in that period? I learned I needed to practice

:45:08. > :45:57.harder, and not let him read my game any more. Hard lesson learned.

:45:58. > :46:06.Another guy who doesn't show you much in terms of emotion. A rare

:46:07. > :47:47.fist pump from Anderson. He doesn't have the racket head

:47:48. > :47:54.speed of some of the top players so when he tries to step in, he seems

:47:55. > :47:56.to often times captured a little too late. It is a tough shot to pull

:47:57. > :48:27.off, no mistake about that. Tenth ace. You were talking about

:48:28. > :48:31.anticipation, rightly so, with Murray, it is amazing. You were

:48:32. > :48:38.intimating that Usain Bolt doesn't have to deal with that with what he

:48:39. > :48:42.does for a living. I happened to be there at the Olympics when he ran,

:48:43. > :48:51.and that anticipation before the start, with the world's fastest guys

:48:52. > :48:57.is incredible. You almost feel like you could hear a pin drop in a

:48:58. > :49:03.stadium of 80,000 seats. I guess in some ways he has to try to

:49:04. > :49:08.anticipate the gun. But they know if their reaction time is within too

:49:09. > :49:18.short a frame, it is anticipation and it is not allowed. I was

:49:19. > :49:22.watching the Championships in Birmingham yesterday and one of the

:49:23. > :49:29.contenders of the girls anticipated a little too early, disqualified.

:49:30. > :49:36.That is tough. 100 metres. I forget who it was, but that is a harsh way

:49:37. > :49:40.to lose. I was thinking back to those practice session with you and

:49:41. > :49:47.Jimmy Connors and I feel you would have needed hawk-eyed between the

:49:48. > :50:58.two of you. We called our own lines and we are still alive today!

:50:59. > :51:07.Big ball by Murray there. His forehand has been solid the entire

:51:08. > :51:22.match, looking to finish off Anderson. Anderson looking imposing

:51:23. > :51:27.out there. Murray right now thinking to himself he should have taken his

:51:28. > :51:33.crosscourt forehand trademark short, trying to keep Anderson on it at the

:51:34. > :51:57.net, didn't pay off. Might do later though.

:51:58. > :52:06.That is an excellent return, fighting off that body serve.

:52:07. > :52:10.Anderson looking to handcuff Murray, may be literally an inch closer to

:52:11. > :52:12.his body he would have got the result he wanted, but instead he

:52:13. > :52:36.watched it go by him. It is good anticipation by Murray

:52:37. > :52:44.but there is no way Anderson should lose this point. The way he turned

:52:45. > :52:49.to hit that forehand, he couldn't really go back crosscourt so Murray

:52:50. > :53:51.ceased upon that opportunity. -- seized upon.

:53:52. > :54:00.Hit with velocity but a hint of desperation as well from Anderson.

:54:01. > :54:11.He grew up playing against the wall, he was playing against one than as

:54:12. > :54:38.well. Murray refusing to book call. -- buckle.

:54:39. > :54:45.Very unusual to see Murray miss a second serve, certainly in a point

:54:46. > :55:08.as critical as that. Always making life difficult for

:55:09. > :55:13.himself, Anderson, allowing Murray to chip that forehand again and get

:55:14. > :55:22.back into the point. Forcing himself to go for too much. How many times

:55:23. > :56:06.can he stave off Rake points? -- break points?

:56:07. > :56:15.You have got to hand it to Murray there because that was a big-time

:56:16. > :56:17.serve, the hardest of the match and he got it back into the corner

:56:18. > :56:58.again. Terrific effort from Anderson, that

:56:59. > :57:09.was a very awkward forehand. Down two sets to love, at 6-8 he had to

:57:10. > :57:44.really bend a long way. Four from 18, that is a lot of chances.

:57:45. > :57:58.Seems like it is much easier for Murray to return serve in the deuce

:57:59. > :58:23.box. 19th break point. It is unusual. He should have a

:58:24. > :58:30.better angle on the deuce court. Anderson stepping up big time,

:58:31. > :58:47.incredible. He has got a long way to go. To win this game!

:58:48. > :58:54.Quite often Murray's biggest challenge is dealing with adversity

:58:55. > :58:55.and it won't sit well with him, the number of break point opportunities

:58:56. > :59:22.that he has had. That is when, if you are player, you

:59:23. > :59:24.don't think far ahead. You think of the moment right now and Anderson

:59:25. > :59:58.did a great job to get that home. Quality point from Anderson. But

:59:59. > :59:59.Murray up to the challenge, he needed to be vigilant there earlier

:00:00. > :00:51.on. hit on the run today. Full of

:00:52. > :00:53.confidence, Anderson now. Doesn't have a whole lot to show for

:00:54. > :01:31.it yet, but he is hanging tight. slightly and Murray scoops across

:01:32. > :01:34.court, he doesn't seem to be in position to handle it.

:01:35. > :01:50.He has to anticipate that shot a little sooner.

:01:51. > :03:17.Just as Anderson raised his level as Murray here.

:03:18. > :03:22.there, cameia with nothing. He managed to keep a pulse on this

:03:23. > :03:27.third set when it looked as though Murray will get away from it. There

:03:28. > :03:31.is going to be a handful of occasions where Anderson gets into a

:03:32. > :03:36.match of this calibre, to beat someone as good as Murray. If you

:03:37. > :03:37.look back on a tape of this match, those are the type of returns there.

:03:38. > :03:42.You can't miss that there, those are the type of returns there.

:03:43. > :03:48.want to beat Andy Murray. Or any of the other top players. A

:03:49. > :03:51.wild miss takes the pressure off and just puts it squarely back on his

:03:52. > :04:05.shoulders. He might get help. He has put in for

:04:06. > :04:10.US citizenship, Kevin Anderson. An opportunity, perhaps for him on

:04:11. > :04:22.receiving it to Playday advice cup for America next year. Play Davis

:04:23. > :04:31.Cup. Married his college sweetheart in 2011.

:04:32. > :05:40.He didn't seem prepared at all to hit that ball when it dropped on the

:05:41. > :06:09.line. Very indecisive there, not sure

:06:10. > :06:13.whether to let it bounce and played a stiff price. He looked as if he

:06:14. > :06:18.should have played a backhand volley, rather than try and get

:06:19. > :06:35.inside it and shove a forehand volley.

:06:36. > :06:49.Just barely missed. That would have been threading the

:06:50. > :06:52.needle if that had gone in. Anderson's approach shot was

:06:53. > :07:13.effective but a it was so short. Murray didn't miss by much.

:07:14. > :07:21.This time Anderson gets it down to the net.

:07:22. > :07:25.You better be ready, if you are up there and Murray is scrambling

:07:26. > :07:31.round, credit Anderson there. That would have been match point,

:07:32. > :07:41.had he lost the point, or missed that volley.

:07:42. > :07:47.UMPIRE: Game Anderson. Tantalisingly close. Hasn't been so for him this

:07:48. > :07:54.time. The cumulative effect of forcing

:07:55. > :09:05.your opponent to work hard, get the dividends later on.

:09:06. > :09:13.Murray sees himself slide, slip, so another open court. You worry about

:09:14. > :09:46.the knee. Awkward there. If he is OK. He has already strapped

:09:47. > :09:50.it. Seems to be limping a little at the

:09:51. > :10:04.moment. May force him to go for broke even

:10:05. > :10:08.more. Very secure in the knowledge he is

:10:09. > :10:10.at least going to get a tie-break to finish off this match. He might well

:10:11. > :10:23.do it before then. He struggles at times or the

:10:24. > :10:30.toughest thing for him is dealing with adversity but he has done it in

:10:31. > :10:34.this third set, when he hasn't made the breakthrough. It is very

:10:35. > :10:38.important you stay in the present. You have to make sure you put those

:10:39. > :10:42.previous opportunities out of your mind, and concentrate on the next

:10:43. > :10:59.point. Look at Ily. He is in the Royal Box.

:11:00. > :11:22.He called the Village People or something? He is more traditionally

:11:23. > :11:51.dressed. Let us see if Anderson can hang in

:11:52. > :11:52.there. Cheap point from

:11:53. > :11:55.there. Cheap point Anderson in this game.

:11:56. > :12:47.It could be expensive, right at the start.

:12:48. > :12:54.His serve has been under siege. That is a really well played point.

:12:55. > :13:00.Don't see Anderson go to the one hand and slice, but it helped them

:13:01. > :13:03.there. You don't see him winning many of these points when it gets to

:13:04. > :13:38.18 shots. You can see why she at a career high

:13:39. > :13:40.of 18 in the world. He has stepped #u7 and played far better since the

:13:41. > :13:49.roof has been closed. -- up. You feel as if he is prepared

:13:50. > :14:11.to go for bigger shots to try and keep the rallies a bit shorter.

:14:12. > :14:44.Up to the net, 49 times, good job by Anderson, to take it to Murray.

:14:45. > :14:53.Murray with a career record of 132, only 82 lost.

:14:54. > :15:00.Anderson won as 86. Lost 77 which would indicate the return is most

:15:01. > :15:05.important thing in tie-breakers. What is the most important thing? I

:15:06. > :15:10.think getting cheap. S on your serve? I would go with just

:15:11. > :15:14.believing in yourself and handling the nerves better. It is a great way

:15:15. > :15:22.to end the set. If you are sitting in the box here.

:15:23. > :15:26.Make an announcement presumably out about the outside courts. Not good

:15:27. > :15:30.timing by the All England Club on that one? What are you locking at me

:15:31. > :16:19.for? You're on the committee. UMPIRE: The ball was called out. It

:16:20. > :16:24.is right in front of us. I didn't see it.

:16:25. > :16:27.I don't know. It was definitely should be challenged. Ooh. Good

:16:28. > :17:19.call. You pretty much have to hit the

:17:20. > :17:25.line, I would think. That is what Murray does.

:17:26. > :17:27.Coupled with the fact and Anderson will be delighted that he doesn't

:17:28. > :18:21.know, that that first serve was in. It looks like he has a second wind

:18:22. > :18:26.right now. That was one of the few rallies

:18:27. > :18:49.where you never felt Murray was getting the upper hand. Anderson was

:18:50. > :18:59.looking to dictate play. What a pick up!

:19:00. > :19:04.Anderson doesn't look like it has affected him. He is thinking how has

:19:05. > :19:34.he done that. "That is the best return I have hit in the match."

:19:35. > :19:41.Credit to Anderson, every time you feel as if the heart monitor machine

:19:42. > :19:43.is going to show you a flat line, he manages to resuscitate his challenge

:19:44. > :20:41.in this third set. A body serve that ended up as a body

:20:42. > :20:48.blow for Anderson. That was the 114mph second serve.

:20:49. > :20:49.Murray, how did he make this happen? Very close, looked like outside of

:20:50. > :22:00.the line. The second serve got the treatment

:22:01. > :22:05.it deserved. -- deferred. They didn't want to

:22:06. > :22:08.double fault. He didn't want to have it sit up like that. It just got

:22:09. > :23:00.blasted. There is some high quality stuff in

:23:01. > :23:02.this tyke break. A small group of people would like

:23:03. > :23:29.to see a fourth set. Waited a long time for this one.

:23:30. > :24:00.Two-and-a-half hours. Can't say Anderson wasn't warned

:24:01. > :24:04.where that was going. Bun able to find the type of return he would

:24:05. > :24:17.have liked. Credit to Murray for finding the first serve.

:24:18. > :24:21.He has to desoid whether to go bigger or take it wide where he has

:24:22. > :24:26.had a lot of success. It's a bit risky if Anderson hits it

:24:27. > :25:00.cleanly. Definitely a good change of spin.

:25:01. > :25:02.Murray went to the slice. Anderson didn't deal with it well,

:25:03. > :25:44.and now, Murray has a match point. The seventh successive year he is

:25:45. > :25:51.through to the quarter-finals at Wimbledon.

:25:52. > :25:56.He passes husband first real test in terms of a set with flying colours.

:25:57. > :26:03.Saves the set point, just the greater versatility from Murray at

:26:04. > :26:07.the end, proved the difference. Kevin Anderson gave it everything

:26:08. > :26:13.but delight in the Murray camp. And a little sense of relief that that

:26:14. > :26:19.didn't go to four for Andy himself. Great tennis. Anderson stepped up

:26:20. > :26:25.and did everything he could. It wasn't good enough. Murray showing

:26:26. > :26:30.his class in the end. Good working with you boys.

:26:31. > :26:38.I'm off. We are back do you guy, you are so good finishing off I am off

:26:39. > :26:43.to the other corner. Thanks John. Certainly a match of

:26:44. > :26:50.two Hlavackovas, for a set and 3-0 double break there was only one

:26:51. > :26:53.player in it, and after the rain delay Kevin Anderson's coach had a

:26:54. > :26:55.word and said you have to be more aggressive. In the second half he

:26:56. > :27:05.played a lot better. Kevin's first time out on Centre

:27:06. > :27:09.Court. It is something he is going to remember for an awful long time.

:27:10. > :27:15.It has been a long hard journey for the Safin, he is resilient, he is

:27:16. > :27:22.durable. -- for the south afterry can, but ultimately he is

:27:23. > :27:28.vanquished. Sir Alex Ferguson watching on. One great Scot in the

:27:29. > :27:32.box, another one signing autographs at the side of the court. It's a big

:27:33. > :27:35.step Murray takes as he moves through to the quarter-finals.

:27:36. > :27:48.Blemish free in terms of sets lost so far at this year's Championships.

:27:49. > :27:51.Akes as he moves through to the quarter-finals. Blemish free in

:27:52. > :27:53.terms of sets lost so far at this year's Championships.

:27:54. > :27:57.This is the reaction from the box. Up out of their chair, in unison.

:27:58. > :28:03.They have watched enough tennis to show you the reaction they know

:28:04. > :28:14.their man was tested down there in the third set by Kevin Anderson.

:28:15. > :28:20.There is he is always very diligent with the amount of autographs he

:28:21. > :28:30.attempts to sign as he leaves the court.

:28:31. > :28:33.Aware from that time he waited for great players to sign his programme

:28:34. > :28:37.when he came to the Al England championships. -- all England

:28:38. > :28:45.Championships. It was end of the seat stuff at the end. It was

:28:46. > :28:53.business as usual for Andy Murray. In the end, though, it was another

:28:54. > :29:01.straight sets victory for him here. 6-4, 6-3, and 7-6 Kevin Andersony is

:29:02. > :29:05.with Rishi. -- and Andy Murray. Another straight

:29:06. > :29:12.sets win for you, how would you describe how you played today? When

:29:13. > :29:17.it was outdoors I played well I was in a good position, when we came

:29:18. > :29:20.back in doors he started to strike the ball better started serving

:29:21. > :29:24.better and I was dropping the ball shorter than I was the first

:29:25. > :29:28.set-and-a-half, so I had to do a bit more running at the end. It was a

:29:29. > :29:33.good win, because he, he was playing very well at the end, making it very

:29:34. > :29:36.tough for me. A lot of experts were impressed by your anticipation, was

:29:37. > :29:41.that helped by the fact you private rented sector titsed with Kevin? Not

:29:42. > :29:46.really. Some days you get lucky with, some days you don't. You guess

:29:47. > :29:51.a lot of the time and sometimes you go the wrong way and thankfully

:29:52. > :29:56.today I picked a few good ones. You are playing as well as you are, does

:29:57. > :30:01.it matter who you face in the quarter-finals? Everyone who is in

:30:02. > :30:07.the quarter-finals, they are playing top tennis. You know, and I I have

:30:08. > :30:12.to do and concentrate on my side of the court. If I play well I will

:30:13. > :30:15.make it tough for them. Last year, there seemed to be a build up belief

:30:16. > :30:17.that took you'll the way to the final, are you feeling that again

:30:18. > :30:22.this year from final, are you feeling that again

:30:23. > :30:25.public? Yes, well, I mean I am just trying to, trying to stay

:30:26. > :30:28.concentrated on the court. I don't worry about everything else that is

:30:29. > :30:32.going on outside of it and everything that is said. I just try

:30:33. > :30:37.to play tennis, and not worry about the rest, but when you are playing

:30:38. > :30:49.in front of a crowd like that it it gives you a big lift and makes it

:30:50. > :30:54.hard for your opponents. With all the rain around, how relieved are

:30:55. > :31:01.you to get your matches out of the way? Now I can rest up and get ready

:31:02. > :31:05.for the quarters. Your mum was definitely here watching you today.

:31:06. > :31:12.Yes, Jamie wasn't playing so she didn't have a choice to make! Well

:31:13. > :31:16.done. Thanks. I think that theme will continue throughout the

:31:17. > :31:23.Championships, but well done to Andy Murray, another straight sets

:31:24. > :31:28.victory. He is through an delighted to be through with all of the rain

:31:29. > :31:41.we have had around on Saturday and today, he has cruised through, and

:31:42. > :31:45.doesn't have to be back on the match court until Wednesday. Meanwhile

:31:46. > :31:50.outside Wimbledon, I'm pleased to say the rain has moved away and all

:31:51. > :31:54.of the people are being rewarded with matches on the outside courts,

:31:55. > :32:07.including Court Number One where Grigor Dimitrov is on against

:32:08. > :32:12.Leonardo Mayer. That much is getting under way and you can watch it live

:32:13. > :32:30.on the red button. Also out on Court number three, Makarova is just one

:32:31. > :32:39.game away from putting out Radwanska. Here on BBC Two and the

:32:40. > :32:42.Centre Court, next it is the 2011 champion, Novak Djokovic, against Jo

:32:43. > :32:58.Wilfried Tsonga. Of course Wimbledon is the biggest,

:32:59. > :33:09.most valuable event we have in sport. COMMENTATOR: There is the new

:33:10. > :33:18.Wimbledon champion! I am in good form, I am playing well and I want

:33:19. > :33:23.to give my best on the court. COMMENTATOR: As far as first rounds

:33:24. > :33:28.go, that is about as good as it gets. That is it, a mini classic

:33:29. > :33:46.ends 14-12. Novak Djokovic touch taken all the

:33:47. > :34:05.way and cannot quite believe he has escaped. Ace number 15 seals the

:34:06. > :34:08.victory for Jo Wilfried Tsonga. It doesn't matter really how many

:34:09. > :34:14.matches I have played on that court, it feels different, it feels

:34:15. > :34:19.very special. We are certainly going to love watching this match. The

:34:20. > :34:23.great entertainer himself, Jo Wilfried Tsonga, and the top seed

:34:24. > :34:44.here, Novak Djokovic. Here they come. And they are keeping the roof

:34:45. > :34:49.on so this match will be completed tonight. Djokovic is very much aware

:34:50. > :34:55.of the threat this man poses. What an evening of tennis we have in

:34:56. > :35:00.store. And in the company of Jimmy Connors, welcome back to Wimbledon

:35:01. > :35:09.once again. What do you think of this? Very interesting. I am old

:35:10. > :35:13.school so I think there is more to winning this Championships than just

:35:14. > :35:21.playing the tennis. This seems to take a little bit out of it, but I

:35:22. > :35:26.also understand the schedule moving along is great. My first time seeing

:35:27. > :35:32.a match with the roof closed in person so I am very excited about

:35:33. > :35:38.that. We were very excited when you won Wimbledon. How much do you

:35:39. > :35:47.remember of 1974? Take a look at this, let's enjoy this. Here we go.

:35:48. > :35:53.Look at this! I cannot do that any more, that is for sure. A much

:35:54. > :36:00.younger than me. To look back and see that that was 40 years ago, it

:36:01. > :36:08.is nice to see but it is time to get to the present now. Playing Ken,

:36:09. > :36:15.there were no easy matches against Muscles. It was great to play

:36:16. > :36:22.against him, his legacy and what he brought to tennis. I have been in

:36:23. > :36:26.that position where I was 39, playing and still trying to compete,

:36:27. > :36:34.and now I understand what he went through at that time. 1974, what

:36:35. > :36:35.does that mean to you? I think I was -2-macro months at that

:36:36. > :36:59.does that mean to you? I think I stage! -- I was -2 months. Those

:37:00. > :37:05.were fun days for me. I loved playing on the Centre Court here in

:37:06. > :37:09.front of this crowd, but now we are into a different era. The players

:37:10. > :37:15.are different and also the tennis is different. What did you make of Andy

:37:16. > :37:22.in the last match? He is going about his business very nicely, getting

:37:23. > :37:26.into the quarterfinals he also said everybody is playing well now. He

:37:27. > :37:33.will have to lift his game, no doubt. He will have to play against

:37:34. > :37:39.much tougher competition I think. He had a great two weeks last year, he

:37:40. > :37:44.knows what it is like to win now and he has raised his game. He is going

:37:45. > :37:51.about his business very quietly. He has played well, good enough to win,

:37:52. > :37:54.but now he has to lift his game to play Wimbledon championship tennis.

:37:55. > :38:00.Some great shots and great passes when it mattered, weren't there?

:38:01. > :38:07.Yes, this was the early part of the match and he did such a good job of

:38:08. > :38:15.returning Anderson's serve. In the first two sets he was only able to

:38:16. > :38:20.manage two phases. If anything, the rain delay, when Andy was up a set

:38:21. > :38:27.and a double break, it worked against Andy because Anderson had a

:38:28. > :38:30.chat with his coach. That was an incredible passing shot. He

:38:31. > :38:36.obviously worked out he needed to be more aggressive, sometimes serve and

:38:37. > :38:40.volley, try to keep the rally is shorter. From what Andy was saying,

:38:41. > :38:45.he doesn't like playing under the roof, he much prefers whipped with

:38:46. > :38:50.the elements more exposed. Interesting that he says that. I

:38:51. > :38:55.played him when the roof was closed and the conditions were different,

:38:56. > :39:00.and you explained to me that really they are not but just the feeling of

:39:01. > :39:06.being outside and what this Centre Court is about when the roof is open

:39:07. > :39:11.is something special. But I am old school and that is the way I feel.

:39:12. > :39:14.Certainly Andy Murray would like to keep the roof open but it hasn't

:39:15. > :39:17.been able to be keep the roof open but it hasn't

:39:18. > :39:32.line-up as it stands at the moment. It is interesting about the

:39:33. > :39:37.scheduling because we have heard that rain delays are nothing new but

:39:38. > :39:43.we see what matches are complete at the end of the day then formulate an

:39:44. > :39:50.order of play tomorrow. That keeps it fair for everyone. The one person

:39:51. > :39:55.who has been outspoken about that is done this last Wawrinka because he

:39:56. > :40:04.will now play three matches in three days. On Saturday they should have

:40:05. > :40:11.put him on an outside court, but they put other doubles matches on

:40:12. > :40:17.them. You can feel for him. Yes, a couple of matches in a row will be a

:40:18. > :40:22.tough task for him. He is also a professional tennis player, he needs

:40:23. > :40:26.to be in the kind of condition and shape to withstand that. That is

:40:27. > :40:33.where the roof on one hand is great for the tennis and the fans, on the

:40:34. > :40:36.other hand someone will get behind somewhere along the line. You will

:40:37. > :40:41.have to build more rooms or try to work something out but we will see

:40:42. > :40:48.how it goes. He is young and strong enough to get through and play three

:40:49. > :40:53.matches in a row. Who would be a tournament referee? What about this

:40:54. > :41:02.match here because this will be a fascinating match, Tsonga and

:41:03. > :41:05.Djokovic. Interesting to see how Djokovic's shoulder is. He

:41:06. > :41:12.definitely jarred it in the last match and we were concerned after it

:41:13. > :41:17.happened. I commentated on Tsonga's first match and he was really

:41:18. > :41:21.ordinary. He looked flat, he wasn't timing the ball well from the

:41:22. > :41:27.baseline. His second round match was very tough and he came through both

:41:28. > :41:31.matches in five sets. That is sometimes a good sign, if you can

:41:32. > :41:38.win when you are not playing your best, but hopefully he can step it

:41:39. > :41:45.up. I don't feel like he has got anything to lose against Djokovic.

:41:46. > :41:53.He has got to go out there and see what happens. In the last three

:41:54. > :42:00.meetings he has not won one set. But he knows what it is like to bring

:42:01. > :42:07.his game. He is also very flashy, and these guys are going to be all

:42:08. > :42:11.over the court. Both of them. The excitement and what they can bring

:42:12. > :42:16.to a match like this is pretty special. When you have the ability

:42:17. > :42:24.of Tsonga sometimes it is the big occasion that brings out the best in

:42:25. > :42:30.you. This is not big enough! The opportunity to beat Djokovic, to get

:42:31. > :42:36.to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon, it is something special and if he is

:42:37. > :42:42.not ready for this now, too late! We are looking forward to this, a real

:42:43. > :42:47.treat. We had better get out of the way. Jimmy, you are on your way to

:42:48. > :42:52.the commentary box with John Lloyd and Andrew Castle.

:42:53. > :42:59.Andrew Castle: Send him in, wonderful to have him on the team.

:43:00. > :43:10.We are seeing Novak Djokovic, the number two seed ire whisker. On the

:43:11. > :43:17.left-hand side of the picture we have a semifinalist here in 2001,

:43:18. > :43:23.they are in the Tsonga camp. Tsonga is a real talent but a talent that

:43:24. > :43:29.sometimes likes to go its own way. Disciplined in terms of shotmaking,

:43:30. > :43:34.not always, but a threat to every opponent, he is and this is his sort

:43:35. > :43:40.of arena, a place where he has beaten Roger Federer from two sets

:43:41. > :44:52.down. This could be the match of the day.

:44:53. > :44:56.You want to hit it to my forehand? That is the treatment you are going

:44:57. > :45:22.to get. Tidy game. And it is a massive

:45:23. > :45:35.welcome to Jimmy Connors, hello! It is so nice to be back with the two

:45:36. > :45:41.of you again. Do you still use the T2000? I would like to spring

:45:42. > :45:47.forward but I cannot get away from all of that! Boris Becker, a man who

:45:48. > :45:52.knows this arena as well as you, Jimmy, working with Novak Djokovic.

:45:53. > :45:57.That was an interesting appointment. I think it has been

:45:58. > :46:02.good for Djokovic. Boris Becker was a great champion in his own right

:46:03. > :46:06.and I think that is underestimated, what he can bring to the table in

:46:07. > :47:19.that respect. John Lloyd, we were out on court for

:47:20. > :47:25.his second match and he didn't play anything like this. He did well to

:47:26. > :47:27.get through that match. There were aces all the way through that

:47:28. > :47:47.match, very little with them. -- very little rhythm. That is a

:47:48. > :47:56.good game for Tsonga, settling down, getting into the rhythm of the

:47:57. > :48:01.match. I cannot wait to talk to you about the Djokovic return. It is

:48:02. > :48:06.either you or him or Andre Agassi the best return as everybody talks

:48:07. > :48:09.about. Thank you for putting me into that category. No matter who is

:48:10. > :48:14.serving, he doesn't back up. that category. No matter who is

:48:15. > :48:22.not afraid to take a chance and be aggressive from the very first shot.

:48:23. > :48:26.Speaking of which, here comes Joe Willie. This is his stage, this is

:48:27. > :48:47.the worry for Djokovic. I see after the first week the brown

:48:48. > :48:52.worn patches around the baseline. Not much around the service line. It

:48:53. > :49:09.is a bit slippery around the baseline if you are defending.

:49:10. > :49:24.This is what happens when it hits these lines, it just stops so the

:49:25. > :49:55.effect is that the returner plays too early.

:49:56. > :50:01.SUE BARKER: Early stages of this match on the Centre Court under the

:50:02. > :50:09.roof, but meanwhile outside and on Court Number One Grigor Dimitrov has

:50:10. > :50:22.won the second set on the tie-break so now he is leading 2-1 against

:50:23. > :50:34.Mayer Argentina. And it only took one game for Makarova to put out

:50:35. > :50:45.Radwanska, seeded four. She is now out. Along rallied to finish on and

:50:46. > :50:54.that is how she went out. Makarova And, through in straight sets.

:50:55. > :50:58.Stanislas Wawrinka was on court today but he won in straight sets

:50:59. > :51:02.and is through but he will have to be back tomorrow for his

:51:03. > :51:07.fourth-round match against Lopez. He was very upset with the scheduling

:51:08. > :51:11.and the fact he could not finish his match on Saturday and this is what

:51:12. > :51:16.he had to say afterwards... We are not going to hear from him but just

:51:17. > :51:20.to say that he was not happy in his press conference afterwards. He

:51:21. > :51:26.doesn't think the schedulers have been fair to him and he faces three

:51:27. > :51:31.matches in a row. Back we go. Andrew Castle: Ace to begin the game

:51:32. > :52:07.from Tsonga. That was a good deep return there,

:52:08. > :52:12.took advantage of the short second serve. That is one of his best

:52:13. > :52:36.returns, that off backhand, he loves that shot.

:52:37. > :53:24.That is a little victory there for the French man.

:53:25. > :53:32.The shout was good indeed but he saw Djokovic a little late, came in

:53:33. > :54:25.behind it and was able to take the ball out of the air.

:54:26. > :54:46.Now we must have a look at that, Novak Djokovic has called for a

:54:47. > :54:51.challenge. The ball was called out. It was travelling quickly and it was

:54:52. > :54:54.right on the line. We will have another go at this point. I love

:54:55. > :55:16.Hawkeye, absolutely spot on. You can see the importance of this

:55:17. > :55:19.technology. 0-30, lose the serve... Hawkeye gives a chance to correct

:55:20. > :55:24.it. And no arguments. here. Some big forehands in that

:55:25. > :56:44.rally. Early stages here, they are playing

:56:45. > :56:50.for a place in the quarterfinal. We have had a lot of talk about female

:56:51. > :56:58.coaches of male tennis players and it is kind of a nonevent. Amelie

:56:59. > :57:01.Mauresmo coaching Andy Murray, she won Wimbledon. You were a

:57:02. > :57:07.groundbreaker in that regard, your mother was your coach, right? It is

:57:08. > :57:13.interesting when that first came out and I saw that, I kind of said,

:57:14. > :57:19.well, whatever Andy is looking for and what he expects to find out of

:57:20. > :57:26.everybody out there, he went to Amelie Mauresmo. Obviously she has

:57:27. > :57:31.something, or he feels she has something, that he is lacking. That
