day when players make their move as the business end approaches. But

:00:48.:00:51.

what is the state of play as it stands? First, the women. A famous

:00:52.:01:02.

five-time winner has gone. And so has the number two seed. The

:01:03.:01:10.

favourite now is the 2004 Queen. But challenges await.

:01:11.:01:17.

As for the men... Still in the draw is a magnificent seven time

:01:18.:01:34.

champion. A two time came, -- King, and 2011's main man and last year's

:01:35.:01:41.

hero. Andy Murray's defence has been great so far but the big three move.

:01:42.:01:47.

Today he plays for a place in the quarterfinals as do many of the

:01:48.:01:51.

remaining men and women. Prepare for a feast of tennis today. Welcome to

:01:52.:01:55.

week two of Wimbledon 2014. The second Monday is always one of

:01:56.:02:15.

the most popular days of the championship. We were hoping for a

:02:16.:02:20.

dry day after Saturday, we were promised one after Saturday but this

:02:21.:02:22.

is the scene at Wimbledon at the moment. Dark clothes overhead, the

:02:23.:02:29.

rain is falling hard. -- dark clouds overhead. They have had permission

:02:30.:02:35.

to close the roof so we will get play on this Court in about ten

:02:36.:02:40.

minutes. Very disappointing for all of the spectators and so much to get

:02:41.:02:45.

through on the outside courts with the players and the spectators just

:02:46.:02:49.

have to sit and wait. That rain is very heavy at the moment. This is

:02:50.:02:57.

the scene right now. Earlier today before the rain came down, Andy

:02:58.:02:59.

Murray was here on the practice court after three straight sets

:03:00.:03:06.

victories in the opening week. Great to have your game intact, it is a

:03:07.:03:10.

nice feeling. This is familiar territory to him and the health

:03:11.:03:13.

memories from last year. Today, he is up against Kevin Anderson, six

:03:14.:03:21.

foot eight, who has thrown down 63 aces in his opening matches. It is

:03:22.:03:27.

Anderson against Murray. Tim and John are with me. We have got so

:03:28.:03:33.

much to get through because already, we have some play that got underway

:03:34.:03:39.

at 11:30am. Plenty of results to come but first, let's show you some

:03:40.:03:42.

of the stars featured on the courts today.

:03:43.:03:49.

Andy Murray has been playing like the champion he is so far, but now

:03:50.:03:54.

is when the hard work really starts. Today he features big serving

:03:55.:03:59.

Anderson in the greatest form of his career. Grigor Dimitrov is another

:04:00.:04:05.

player who has had a great year so far. He will fancy his chances

:04:06.:04:08.

against Leonardo Mayer in the fourth round of the Grand Slam for the

:04:09.:04:10.

first time. Bouchard will prove another tough

:04:11.:04:26.

challenge for Angelique Kerber. Petra Kvitova up against Shuai

:04:27.:04:31.

Peng. That is the number six seed and former champion out on court

:04:32.:04:39.

today. That is Novak Djokovic up against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. He

:04:40.:04:44.

certainly knows his way around these courts, a two-time semifinalist

:04:45.:04:50.

here. Did I see Maria Sharapova in the middle of that? This is the

:04:51.:04:57.

order of play, just to confirm. Even if we didn't not get the picture is

:04:58.:04:59.

quite right! -- pictures. Some match points to update you on.

:05:00.:05:40.

Strycova is through, defeating Caroline Wozniacki in straight

:05:41.:05:47.

sets. Six - two, 7-5. She has beaten three seeds on her way to the

:05:48.:05:54.

quarterfinals. She will play either Petra Kvitova or Shuai Peng. Stan

:05:55.:06:02.

Wawrinka is also through in straight sets against Denis Istomin who had a

:06:03.:06:07.

doctor on the court, he was feeling unwell and was not at his best but

:06:08.:06:11.

Wawrinka is through and he will be back on court tomorrow, only a third

:06:12.:06:13.

round match. Hawk-eye just confirmed and then the

:06:14.:06:26.

handshake took place. One other results to bring new, Kei Nishikori,

:06:27.:06:30.

the 10th seed, is through, it was three games all when they resumed

:06:31.:06:35.

play today but he won the fifth set 6-4. He is always an exciting player

:06:36.:06:40.

to watch and Kei Nishikori is through. And so, under the roof on

:06:41.:06:52.

Centre Court, they are preparing the court and we hear players could be

:06:53.:06:55.

out in about five minutes time. The roof is closed, when will we get

:06:56.:07:01.

play outside? Let's find out from Carol. It was in the forecast, a

:07:02.:07:07.

risk of a shower and unfortunately, it has come. As we go through the

:07:08.:07:14.

next few hours, we are not immune to a few more showers coming or going.

:07:15.:07:18.

But it will ease as we go through the course of the evening. Tomorrow

:07:19.:07:22.

as well, looking at a lot of dry weather, sunny spells, but there is

:07:23.:07:26.

still the risk of a shower. Perhaps less so during the course of

:07:27.:07:32.

tomorrow. But at least it is keeping the pollen levels that bit lower.

:07:33.:07:36.

They are set to rise as we had to the end of the week. STUDIO: I was

:07:37.:07:46.

told it was supposed to be good weather so I thought I would go a

:07:47.:07:51.

little bit tropical! You do not like it? LAUGHTER

:07:52.:07:59.

I do not understand why Roger Federer and Tommy Robredo, who will

:08:00.:08:08.

now play tomorrow, why did they get penalised? You put them tomorrow and

:08:09.:08:17.

now all of a sudden for Roger Fedor, he has the play

:08:18.:08:24.

back-to-back. -- Roger Federer. I think they are trying to keep each

:08:25.:08:29.

section there so if they get too far ahead in the draw, they will have an

:08:30.:08:35.

unfair advantage. I guess they are trying to keep it even. It is not

:08:36.:08:40.

ideal. The rain at the weekend on a Saturday is the worst. It is

:08:41.:08:48.

rubbish, I think that is an English phrase! It is only that one section

:08:49.:08:55.

of the draw that has. A fairer thing, and they know they have only

:08:56.:09:01.

done this on a couple of occasions, play Sunday, a couple of matches?

:09:02.:09:07.

That is rubbish. To get the other guys caught up so you don't have to

:09:08.:09:12.

worry about making a decision like this which I think penalises people

:09:13.:09:18.

unfairly. I think after working six days in a row, you would need a day

:09:19.:09:27.

off. I was ready to go! It would have been nice but it means only the

:09:28.:09:31.

top half of the draw is in action today, probably for the ladies

:09:32.:09:35.

tomorrow, because they are playing catch up. The ladies are different.

:09:36.:09:44.

That makes more sense. The ladies do have to play back to back even if

:09:45.:09:49.

there is perfect weather. The imperfect schedule is that they have

:09:50.:09:52.

to play Monday and Tuesday the second week and it is tough when you

:09:53.:09:57.

get rain on the middle weekend, the knock on effect of not playing on

:09:58.:10:01.

Sunday, does make it difficult. Bedene winning at the top, mainly

:10:02.:10:06.

Andy Murray, Djokovic, more distant Dimitrov, Tsonga, can step up to the

:10:07.:10:13.

plate, that greatly help their chances. It is definitely an

:10:14.:10:21.

advantage to the top half of the draw. Let's talk about some of the

:10:22.:10:30.

matches. Positive indeed! First, then's match, Andy Murray, very

:10:31.:10:35.

happy now, even with the rain. We were just checking our notes and

:10:36.:10:39.

seeing the head-to-head, I did not know Anderson had beaten Murray

:10:40.:10:44.

before. It is a good matchup for Andy Murray. Anderson has a

:10:45.:10:48.

fantastic service, he is six foot eight, that is stating the obvious.

:10:49.:10:52.

But Andy Murray is the best player for getting the ball back in play.

:10:53.:10:56.

The way he has struck the ball in the first week, has been fantastic,

:10:57.:11:00.

he has been aggressive and stepping into the court. It almost looks as

:11:01.:11:04.

if he is flattening his back and I'd even more and he has been very

:11:05.:11:07.

impressive. He will not take him likely. I do not see Andy Murray

:11:08.:11:14.

having any problems. He has a great record against the big servers.

:11:15.:11:18.

Anderson moves a little better than Karlovic? It is why these Andy

:11:19.:11:27.

Murray and Djokovic in the world, are the best. Anderson has a bigger

:11:28.:11:36.

wingspan so he can track these balls down and track them back. I suspect

:11:37.:11:42.

Anderson will try to do that a little more than he normally does

:11:43.:11:45.

because when the rally starts, it diminishes his chance of winning

:11:46.:11:51.

points. But I would go for it. He has the big serve, the big forehand.

:11:52.:11:55.

He has to try to dictate points. I have said the same thing about John

:11:56.:12:02.

Isner. With a server like that, and you are holding almost every time,

:12:03.:12:08.

why are you not just blasting off on your returns? Easier said than done

:12:09.:12:12.

when you are playing big hitters. But that to me is the only real shot

:12:13.:12:18.

Anderson has got. I said it was advantage in the men's top half of

:12:19.:12:21.

the draw and also those on Centre Court because they could be rain

:12:22.:12:25.

later on. The players are heading back out onto Centre Court. Bouchard

:12:26.:12:31.

and Alize Cornet are making their way out. Let them go, they want to

:12:32.:12:39.

go! Come on Lorraine, sort them out! They are going out, they have a

:12:40.:12:45.

warm up to take place but it will be great to see some tennis here. Andy

:12:46.:12:49.

Murray and over Djokovic against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, all on Centre

:12:50.:12:57.

Court today. -- Novak Djokovic. Just heading back to Kevin Anderson, Tim,

:12:58.:13:04.

he beat Fabio Fognini and hurt his back and said he felt really

:13:05.:13:08.

nervous. If he is really nervous in the third round against Bob Mee E --

:13:09.:13:14.

Fognini, I am not sure what he will feel like on Centre Court against

:13:15.:13:19.

Andy Murray! It is deftly a moment when nerves can play a part. Getting

:13:20.:13:26.

a break of serve will be vital for Andy Murray against Anderson. If he

:13:27.:13:28.

can take advantage of any of those early nerves... If you are nervous,

:13:29.:13:35.

your feet do not tend to work as well. For a big guy who struggled a

:13:36.:13:38.

little bit with his movement, it is something Andy Murray will look to

:13:39.:13:43.

exploit. Anyone that is around him will say, you have absolutely

:13:44.:13:47.

nothing to lose. It is not as if there are a lot of people

:13:48.:13:51.

putting... Wagering a lot of money that Anderson will come through. So

:13:52.:13:55.

he should be able to swing a lot more freely. It is just if he might

:13:56.:14:03.

be overwhelmed by the occasion. That usually means, first set, top

:14:04.:14:10.

player. Relatively easily. You talk about his game centring a lot around

:14:11.:14:14.

his serve, if he can hold his serve, he can put a bit of pressure on

:14:15.:14:19.

Murray but likewise, any opportunity Anderson has, he should be crushing

:14:20.:14:27.

it on both sides to see if he can have an impact. I would go to the

:14:28.:14:33.

indoor courts if I was him. Start hitting serves. Break the sweat. So

:14:34.:14:40.

it almost feels like the third set when he steps on the court just so

:14:41.:14:44.

he is in a groove right away. That is another way to get rid of some

:14:45.:14:51.

nerves. Hit the ground running. The warm up is underway on Centre Court,

:14:52.:14:56.

we still have a bit of time, let's hear from Kevin, he has been talking

:14:57.:15:02.

to Gary. You shortly walked out onto Centre Court, you walk from the

:15:03.:15:06.

locker room if you chance and took a few photos? I went there yesterday

:15:07.:15:13.

to get a bit familiar with it. At least I know what it looks like when

:15:14.:15:19.

I come out. What was that walk like for you? It is very special. It is

:15:20.:15:24.

such an amazing place to play. I am sure it will be even more amazing

:15:25.:15:28.

with a packed stadium. Actually seen the trophy and the walk, I have seen

:15:29.:15:35.

so many times on TV, was quite special. There will be a lot of

:15:36.:15:40.

support for Andy Murray but does that help you to inspire? Does it

:15:41.:15:45.

give you a lift? Faye I am sure it will be a great atmosphere. The best

:15:46.:15:52.

atmosphere, the more fun it is to play there. I am sure it will be a

:15:53.:16:00.

good crowd and I will be ready for it. You said you would be very

:16:01.:16:03.

aggressive today because that is when you play your best tennis? What

:16:04.:16:10.

I need to do, what I have been working with, I am playing a very

:16:11.:16:18.

good opponent. STUDIO: Let's have a look at the top half of the draw and

:16:19.:16:22.

Murray's section in particular as it stands. Dimitrov against Mayer,

:16:23.:16:32.

Dimitrov must fancy his chances? Mayer is tricky. When the draw was

:16:33.:16:38.

made, we were all waiting to see Djokovic. Which I think he lost in

:16:39.:16:44.

the semis last year, I think his confidence was lost when he lost to

:16:45.:16:52.

David Ferrer. Look at a match with Cilic, for example, they are out

:16:53.:16:58.

there now. They were playing in the rain and Cilic was sitting there,

:16:59.:17:02.

5-6, deciding whether or not he should serve and he is looking at

:17:03.:17:05.

the umpire, should we be playing here? Please play! Then he misses

:17:06.:17:13.

his first serve so you feel the edge goes to the retainer because it is

:17:14.:17:14.

hard to move. -- returner. No one is really talking about him

:17:15.:17:31.

but he is having a great tournament, Cilic. He certainly is.

:17:32.:17:37.

He has got a huge serve and is pretty erratic, you never know what

:17:38.:17:41.

is going to happen but he could come through that match, he does not have

:17:42.:17:45.

a great record against Djokovic, he does not like playing him. I think

:17:46.:17:53.

the Djokovic-Tsonga is interesting. Tsonga's first two rounds, he was

:17:54.:17:59.

very ordinary. If you can win playing badly... He knows he will

:18:00.:18:04.

have to up his game against Djokovic but a similar scenario, he does not

:18:05.:18:12.

have a lot to lose. We talk about Rafa... He has had some tricky

:18:13.:18:20.

customers, Stepanek? Tsonga, even though he has beaten him 12 of the

:18:21.:18:27.

last 13 times, it has not really been that close. A couple of years

:18:28.:18:35.

ago, he was playing in France and we were talking about who were going to

:18:36.:18:39.

be the next guys. We have gone through a list, Tomas Berdych, Stan

:18:40.:18:46.

Wawrinka broke through, Dimitrov, Milos Raonic? These guys are

:18:47.:18:52.

desperately trying to do it, Tsonga, who is talking about him? This is

:18:53.:18:57.

his chance. He has the weapons to have an impact, he is athletic, the

:18:58.:19:02.

way he can serve and hit his forehand. He is one of the few guys

:19:03.:19:06.

who can really impose himself on the top four. But he can be really good

:19:07.:19:13.

one day and then ordinary the next. That is where the top four are so

:19:14.:19:17.

good, they consistently deliver in the biggest events. This is another

:19:18.:19:22.

opportunity for him to make an impact and whether he can push on

:19:23.:19:26.

from there... And if he is on, he can beat everyone. Cornet against

:19:27.:19:36.

Bouchard. Bouchard is my pick to win it. I feel a little better now

:19:37.:19:39.

because she would have had to play Serena Williams. But Cornet is

:19:40.:19:47.

tricky. If you take Bouchard, I will take Cornet! Early break. Tell me

:19:48.:19:55.

what you want to bet? I only use some wine, thank you for the wine!

:19:56.:20:03.

How about a case of wine? How about one of your pictures, they are more

:20:04.:20:04.

expensive! LAUGHTER one of your pictures, they are more

:20:05.:20:10.

We will see, thank you very much. Play just about to get underway,

:20:11.:20:16.

let's join Martina Navratilova. And Chris. COMMENTATOR: This is an

:20:17.:20:20.

indoor tennis match now. Maybe I would favour Bouchard a

:20:21.:20:33.

little bit. She has an attacking game. She is more than attacking

:20:34.:20:34.

player. It is about to get

:20:35.:20:46.

conditions quicker. Play is a little bit heavier. They both hit the ball

:20:47.:20:49.

pretty flat. Cornet challenging the ball on the

:20:50.:21:49.

baseline? If you are really sure where the ball lands, you can stop

:21:50.:21:55.

play. It was too close to call. I think it did hit the line.

:21:56.:22:25.

Really accurate, depicting from Bouchard, the back of the line.

:22:26.:22:41.

Could have been an overhead but she is confident with that forehand.

:22:42.:22:50.

Well played. With this roof, it will only be about half an hour which

:22:51.:22:54.

completely escaped me when I was talking about the players we setting

:22:55.:22:55.

themselves. Superb. The roof cost half ?1

:22:56.:23:13.

million and they hardly used it to start. It is why I forgot about it.

:23:14.:23:19.

I totally forgot. It is the poor guys outside looking

:23:20.:23:35.

up at the sky wondering when they will play again.

:23:36.:23:54.

Really skimming the net. It was so close to the net, line driving it.

:23:55.:24:02.

Cornet that time getting to the net, forcing the error. Does it take a

:24:03.:24:07.

while to adjust to the Echo and the sound? These guys probably don't

:24:08.:24:14.

know, the sound is different to how it was when the infrastructure was

:24:15.:24:23.

here. It is very noisy, it sounds that you are hitting the ball harder

:24:24.:24:25.

than you are. You could see

:24:26.:24:54.

net because she wants to. She is very comfortable up there, could

:24:55.:24:57.

have closed a little more. If she had been in front of the service

:24:58.:25:02.

line, that could have been an overhead. But easily put away for

:25:03.:25:07.

her. I don't think we have ever seen a player leaned into the ball as

:25:08.:25:11.

much as Bouchard does. It is so different.

:25:12.:25:30.

She was trying to get a little bit of height, Cornet, she is five foot

:25:31.:25:45.

six, but Bouchard is bending her knees.

:25:46.:26:09.

Cornet is fiercely determined and Bouchard is relentless. Cornet

:26:10.:26:16.

looking very fired up. She is definitely looking like she

:26:17.:26:28.

has totally let go of the Serena Williams match.

:26:29.:26:50.

It is as tight as we thought. The fact Cornet is so young and she got

:26:51.:27:10.

up to very near the top ten but then went down to outside of the top 100

:27:11.:27:20.

before getting her game and belief back again. Do you think because she

:27:21.:27:26.

is now back going in the right direction, she will appreciate it

:27:27.:27:33.

more second time? Absolutely, you appreciate it more when you get

:27:34.:27:37.

older, no matter what. But especially when you have had such an

:27:38.:27:40.

up and down trajectory, as she has, she was living up to the

:27:41.:27:40.

expectations and looked like she was going to break into the top ten and

:27:41.:27:41.

then her form came from underneath her. She was crying on the court

:27:42.:27:42.

during matches in the Olympics, inconsolable. She had to face them

:27:43.:27:46.

in the demons and clearly, she has dealt with them because she is

:27:47.:27:49.

looking like the player that she was when she was brash and up and

:27:50.:27:50.

coming. Paul McGinley, Ryder Cup captain.

:27:51.:28:03.

What a super day Saturday always is. Armed Forces Day. What a great

:28:04.:28:11.

sporting competition the Ryder Cup is. New balls in play. No brakes

:28:12.:28:16.

yet. moment and Cornet seems to be a

:28:17.:28:43.

little more comfortable with the pace, if you -- few unforced errors.

:28:44.:29:01.

I would like to see more change of pace from Bouchard. She likes the

:29:02.:29:09.

hardball coming onto her racket. That one set up nicely. Loops it in

:29:10.:29:17.

there and Bouchard cannot get to it. Cornet thinking about challenging,

:29:18.:29:28.

decides against it. So self assured. Bouchard is looking

:29:29.:29:48.

to come to the net and whenever the ball is short, she's quickly up to

:29:49.:29:52.

it. Hitting it again, a little quicker than normal.

:29:53.:30:09.

off. Cornet, with her forehand, usually missing them long. She has a

:30:10.:30:12.

severe grip on the forehand so if she can hit them with pace, she will

:30:13.:30:17.

be trouble. You don't want to go to the backhand with pace. The backhand

:30:18.:30:20.

comes back with interest. Two break point in her opening

:30:21.:30:36.

service game, Bouchard. The first since.

:30:37.:30:52.

That really nicely done. You know, she doesn't flinch away from

:30:53.:31:02.

responsibility, Bouchard. That's what I like about her. She once the

:31:03.:31:07.

ball, she wanted to come back so she can hit another ball. Really again

:31:08.:31:14.

save the break point with authority. She is the type of player who would

:31:15.:31:20.

have won the ball in the penalty shoot out at the end of the game and

:31:21.:31:22.

she would make it. Got the angle, beautiful stuff

:31:23.:31:42.

Bouchard here. Looking to come forward as soon as she gets the

:31:43.:31:48.

opportunity. Coming in forward, as she is hitting it. Great shot right

:31:49.:31:54.

there. It's amazing. I mean, the cameraman and Bouchard.

:31:55.:32:08.

If Cornet can get a great length, which is not going to be easy, it is

:32:09.:32:14.

going to be an interesting watch because she will take it on,

:32:15.:32:19.

athlete. It'll be a tug of war, and that's when the errors will come

:32:20.:32:23.

back in like on the last shot. Maybe should've gone across court. Maybe

:32:24.:32:29.

down the line was a bit ambitious. But Cornet would like to get into

:32:30.:32:33.

the crosscourt backhand exchange. She doesn't want to get across court

:32:34.:32:38.

forehand exchange. Bouchard always win that one.

:32:39.:32:46.

Could have been worth the challenge. She has got two left.

:32:47.:33:29.

Cornet has had two break points and has not been able to convert.

:33:30.:33:34.

Bouchard had one. Definitely, Cornet looks to be the

:33:35.:33:44.

more threatening player of the two so far. She's knocking on the door.

:33:45.:34:22.

got a bit static. There was no forward movement on that one. It

:34:23.:34:27.

still puts so much pressure on you as a server, seeing someone taking a

:34:28.:34:33.

whack so close inside court. When I played Natasha, she stood

:34:34.:34:53.

close to the baseline, and Monica Seles as well. I was hitting it

:34:54.:34:57.

shot, based on where the opponent was standing and I would find it

:34:58.:35:01.

extraordinary because I was afraid to hit it so deep. The same on the

:35:02.:35:05.

serve, when they're standing so far in.

:35:06.:35:12.

For myself, I had to adjust my sideline and concentrate on the

:35:13.:35:17.

court, rather than the opponent, because then I would hit eight short

:35:18.:35:24.

serve or ground stroke. The players were just so close. -- a short

:35:25.:35:28.

serve. They are both very warm due to their

:35:29.:36:13.

efforts. It's dripping off them. Breathing heavily, too.

:36:14.:36:43.

When you get applause like about it doesn't escape anywhere with the

:36:44.:37:05.

roof closed. Goose bumps. Super point. Both moved beautifully. A

:37:06.:37:11.

couple of times Bouchard hit a drop shot when Cornet was already going

:37:12.:37:15.

forward, so Cornet off quickly to that. That is a nice drop shot.

:37:16.:37:20.

Bouchard chases it down. And wax baseball. -- and wax this ball into

:37:21.:37:29.

the Royal box. Almost took a shot at the Duke of Kent! It just went to

:37:30.:37:32.

his right. There is Prince Michael. The

:37:33.:37:38.

chairman. And there is the Duke. Let's have a look at the rally had

:37:39.:37:58.

to point comparison. We've said Bouchard takes the ball early inside

:37:59.:38:02.

the serve. More than half the shot she said just behind the baseline.

:38:03.:38:08.

Cornet, just 70% in front of the baseline and much more time spent

:38:09.:38:15.

two feet further behind her, sorry, six feet behind the baseline, so

:38:16.:38:19.

much more aggressive position from Bouchard, hitting 95% of the shots

:38:20.:38:23.

where you want to be. Really hard to push her back. Bouchard serving to

:38:24.:38:35.

stay in the opening set for-5. The Hawk-eye at the French Open was in

:38:36.:38:42.

feet. Here, it is in meters. I had to flick the switch quickly. It's

:38:43.:38:47.

hard to see without my glasses. And that is the serve which is very

:38:48.:38:51.

effective against Cornet, slice out wide. With the grip, she resorts to

:38:52.:38:56.

the slice, which means a short return. A pretty weak reply. A

:38:57.:39:01.

perfect shot to come in on on the next ball.

:39:02.:40:12.

pressure whatsoever. A pretty solid game there, when she had to hold.

:40:13.:40:19.

Bouchard, 12 winners and 14 unforced errors,

:40:20.:40:19.

Bouchard, 12 winners and 14 unforced so she has been dictating, trying to

:40:20.:40:23.

force the action but Cornet planning a very clean set so far and we have

:40:24.:40:31.

had no service breaks. Maybe it's something about Centre Court. We

:40:32.:40:36.

only had two breaks in the match with Serena Williams and Petra

:40:37.:40:46.

Kvitova. And they have both been broken plenty in the tournament in

:40:47.:40:47.

the first three matches. That worked extremely well against

:40:48.:42:24.

Serena Williams. Comes back with it here but Bouchard so close to the

:42:25.:42:25.

baseline, but that time here but Bouchard so close to the

:42:26.:42:28.

to push back, the ground stroke, here but Bouchard so close to the

:42:29.:42:34.

the drop shot paid dividends. She had that beautifully. Every time she

:42:35.:42:37.

heads the drop shot, she wins the point, or the next shot.

:42:38.:42:45.

heads the drop shot, she wins the great way of breaking up this

:42:46.:42:48.

relentless barrage of the ground from Bouchard. Potentially, Bouchard

:42:49.:42:55.

have more variety in her game but she has not used it so far today. A

:42:56.:43:06.

couple of drop shots. This one, the first one from Cornet, and I think

:43:07.:43:07.

she will remember it. They are both really going for

:43:08.:43:28.

this. The nerves are no longer there. Both totally focused on the

:43:29.:43:36.

task in hand. There was hardly even a nearby shop. Definitely about just

:43:37.:43:43.

playing the match -- shot. They are not playing Wimbledon, they are

:43:44.:43:46.

playing the opponent, and that's why we are seeing a well played set

:43:47.:43:51.

here. The luxury of the roof. It is brightening up outside and hopefully

:43:52.:43:54.

those clouds are going away. Henman Hill getting ready for Andy Murray.

:43:55.:44:00.

And others, of course. Kevin Anderson, his tallest test of the

:44:01.:44:02.

tournament so far. If we knew who they were, we don't

:44:03.:44:16.

know now. They are clearly twins. It's great, coming from work, to

:44:17.:44:24.

hear, but that flag face on, and your employer won't know who you are

:44:25.:44:27.

here and you are being patriotically. Now, there is a

:44:28.:44:34.

look! Its my first time at Wimbledon and look who I am sat next to! A

:44:35.:44:44.

flower gone wild! OK, it's a look! So, for the second time, Bouchard

:44:45.:44:47.

serving to stay in this set. Great slice from Bouchard. But she

:44:48.:45:24.

did not hit through it. It was a defensive slice. And Cornet quick to

:45:25.:45:29.

the ball, and she's going forward on it as well. Good aggression from

:45:30.:45:34.

Cornet. She is playing a very good set. Clearly gaining a lot of

:45:35.:45:37.

confidence from her win against Serena Williams. You figure if you

:45:38.:45:44.

can beat Serena Williams on grass, you can beat anybody, and it is

:45:45.:45:45.

true. The scary things about Serena

:45:46.:45:56.

sometimes, just feels like there's something broken deep inside.

:45:57.:46:03.

Amazing. When you think of how much she has achieved. Well, things go

:46:04.:46:09.

funny when you get older. Everything just means so much more. Everything

:46:10.:46:15.

that can go wrong, as well as things that can go right, sometimes you can

:46:16.:46:18.

overthink things. It's not just hitting the ball.

:46:19.:46:32.

Who would be a tennis coach? The other day with Serena, she looks up

:46:33.:46:38.

there and they were telling her something and she just totally

:46:39.:46:45.

brushed them. "Oh, just be quiet." And then she didn't look at them

:46:46.:46:48.

through couple of games. They were in penalty box. They are used to it.

:46:49.:46:58.

Super stuff from Bouchard. Deep forehand into the corner.

:46:59.:47:07.

That's the one that won her the point. Again, quickly off the mark,

:47:08.:47:14.

to cut the angle, catch it early. Ten winners. Looking like a

:47:15.:47:17.

tie-break. Did I jinxed it? No service breaks

:47:18.:47:25.

so far. Great stuff. Super second serve.

:47:26.:47:37.

This is a tie-break. Every point is a break point. Four

:47:38.:47:57.

break point in this set so far. Now everyone is a break point

:47:58.:48:00.

potentially, so we will see which player can rise to the occasion. If

:48:01.:48:05.

anybody even blinks, will somebody win it? We will know pretty soon.

:48:06.:48:38.

Cornet showing some good boys, adding some good shots off those

:48:39.:48:44.

really low slices, as well. Keeping her cool. Draws the over hit from

:48:45.:48:48.

Bouchard there. Again, great depth from Bouchard to

:48:49.:49:19.

draw that error. Just being forced further and

:49:20.:49:58.

further back. Covering acres, Cornet. She has definitely been

:49:59.:50:04.

doing the majority of the running, just offending to the most part,

:50:05.:50:09.

Bouchard trying to force the action. 15 unforced for Bouchard, only

:50:10.:50:19.

Djokovic for unforced errors for Cornet so far -- only four unforced

:50:20.:50:23.

errors. She clearly knew exactly where she

:50:24.:50:41.

was on the court. She gets the first mini-break.

:50:42.:50:53.

Can't see it from here. I have no idea if it's in or out. Both service

:50:54.:51:16.

points going against Cornet, so Bouchard in the drivers seat here in

:51:17.:51:17.

this tie-break. First double fault to be served. One

:51:18.:51:48.

in each of their previous three matches. That was the first nervous

:51:49.:51:56.

shot I have seen in quite some time. Didn't quite rotate with the rest on

:51:57.:52:02.

that second serve, so the ball flew on her. First double fault. A bad

:52:03.:52:07.

time for her, but still in the driver's seat.

:52:08.:52:19.

Eugenie is looking pretty calm, little shake of the head, really

:52:20.:52:23.

more annoyed with herself. Will she correct that mistake?

:52:24.:53:40.

Good second serve from Cornet and Bouchard held back on the forehand,

:53:41.:53:47.

just rotated sideways. If anything, the body was going backwards and

:53:48.:53:51.

that was an unforced error she would not want.

:53:52.:53:57.

Cornet didn't do anything special but even again.

:53:58.:54:06.

She is falling after that serve. Its peculiar. I'm trying to figure out

:54:07.:54:13.

what's going on with that? She's trying to go back so quickly she's

:54:14.:54:17.

actually falling down. Yeah, I think it's just the reaction of

:54:18.:54:20.

actually falling down. Yeah, I think has to do to face the return.

:54:21.:54:29.

No problem on that one. Bouchard is having a hiccup here. Nick tells

:54:30.:54:39.

their one shot at a time and come in the future, she couldn't sustain it.

:54:40.:54:56.

That's the first drop shot I have seen Cornet head of the backhand. --

:54:57.:55:06.

hit off the background. They've all been to the corner down the line.

:55:07.:55:12.

This one, she missed it, the biggest point of the match so far. And a

:55:13.:55:17.

great serve from Bouchard. First ace.

:55:18.:55:24.

One double fault at a bad time and now an ace at a good time. Set

:55:25.:55:28.

point. Frustration from Cornet. First set,

:55:29.:55:59.

Bouchard. Is she on her way? Three minutes shy

:56:00.:56:24.

of one hour, the opening set. Neither player is playing their best

:56:25.:56:28.

tennis in this pressure packed a tie-break but, in the end, the

:56:29.:56:37.

bravest person, Cornet gave a little divot with the racket. Not too bad,

:56:38.:56:44.

didn't break it. She has her moments at times. She has two police those.

:56:45.:56:51.

When she gets upset, she resets for the next point. You don't feel it

:56:52.:56:54.

carries on and that's where she is so much better. She used to be upset

:56:55.:57:01.

from what happened before. No more of that with her but neither player

:57:02.:57:05.

is playing their best tennis in this tie-break but in the end, Bouchard

:57:06.:57:11.

more adventurous, and she wins the set. Both players hit the net the

:57:12.:57:15.

same times. A lot more set. Both players hit the net the

:57:16.:57:17.

same times. A lot winners from Bouchard. She has been the driver's

:57:18.:57:23.

seat, a higher percentage on the first served. Cornet doing excellent

:57:24.:57:28.

on the second serve points. 77%, better than her first serves, which

:57:29.:57:33.

normally don't see. Cornet returning better but, I think the better

:57:34.:57:40.

player won the set. At the end, Bouchard hit enough winners. She's

:57:41.:57:47.

in the driver's seat now. There is an actor. I don't know his name. Jim

:57:48.:57:56.

Parsons. From the Big Bang Theory. I have not watched that yet. He has

:57:57.:57:58.

got a beautiful eyes. So, Bouchard win the second set.

:57:59.:58:15.

Still no of serve. -- still no breaks of serve.

:58:16.:59:16.

Settling shot, having lost the opening set. Back on track.

:59:17.:59:49.

more depth on his shots, Cornet, try to get a little more aggressive. She

:59:50.:59:57.

has got a nice volley. A couple of doubles titles. She can play.

:59:58.:00:04.

Grass is so much about attitude. Feeling like you want to play on the

:00:05.:00:08.

surface. You want to be aggressive. Don't just come to the net because

:00:09.:00:21.

you are supposed to, you have to mean it. There are fewer of those

:00:22.:00:26.

around. Look at that. You could lose three more games than

:00:27.:01:02.

your opponent in a set point match and lose 20 more points, and still

:01:03.:01:06.

win the match. The one that counts is the last set.

:01:07.:01:18.

Keeping the momentum. I used to say to players when they walked on

:01:19.:01:29.

court, don't forget to win the last point! The depths, it is

:01:30.:01:36.

interesting, when Cornet has not won the first set, the adjustment she

:01:37.:01:38.

needs to make, the first set, the adjustment she

:01:39.:01:59.

shots in that zone, six feet from the baseline which is why Bouchard

:02:00.:02:05.

is standing where she is. And why Cornet is not able to hit winners

:02:06.:02:06.

and defending a lot more. The shot and body placement is

:02:07.:02:29.

another reason why Cornet has not used the drop shot more, because she

:02:30.:02:34.

is too far behind the baseline and Bouchard is closer to it. Not able

:02:35.:02:36.

to deploy her favourite weapon. She always hits that drop shot with

:02:37.:03:03.

a Good shot. She's zeroed in

:03:04.:04:14.

shop. Bouchard is coming... You cannot see it from this

:04:15.:04:52.

Good body language from Cornet and Bouchard needed to get that all in.

:04:53.:05:30.

If I was her coach, I would make a play, don't go for too much. How

:05:31.:05:39.

often do we talk about middle games with good players?

:05:40.:06:21.

Bouchard can be like a runaway train. Especially with the way she

:06:22.:06:31.

plays. You could not impose yourself on this match with that break point,

:06:32.:06:36.

get away early, there have been no breaks of serve. But she could not

:06:37.:06:38.

convert. Bouchard was leaning. Cornet not

:06:39.:06:45.

happy with her serve. She did all the hard work... And

:06:46.:08:26.

missed the easiest shot in the rally. Waiting to see if Bouchard

:08:27.:08:31.

commits. It is that grip, it is hard to hit

:08:32.:08:42.

those low, short balls with that grip.

:08:43.:08:59.

Toted to in favour of Bouchard. -- to two to offer God

:09:00.:09:23.

she had a break point ago art and did not convert and then comes right

:09:24.:09:30.

back. Playing one point at a time. It is great to see that. It is great

:09:31.:09:34.

to see the emergence of Canadian tennis.

:09:35.:09:42.

Milos Raonic can creating some Canadian history. It is in good

:09:43.:09:51.

hands at the moment, Canadian history. The women outshone the

:09:52.:09:55.

hands at the moment, Canadian history. The women outshone men at

:09:56.:10:01.

the French Open. Fantastic final. The women's game is in a great place

:10:02.:10:10.

right now. We see the new wave really imposing themselves and

:10:11.:10:12.

making their mark. And Bouchard is leading the pack.

:10:13.:10:21.

Madison Keys one at Eastbourne last week. -- won at Eastbourne.

:10:22.:10:32.

She lost Wimbledon because she won at Eastbourne. That is why that

:10:33.:10:40.

extra week between the two next year is very helpful.

:10:41.:10:50.

New balls in play. They look very yellow, those balls. Cornet wrong

:10:51.:10:58.

footing Bouchard. Cornet 's account is so much

:10:59.:11:11.

stronger than her forehand. She had a great backhand into the

:11:12.:12:12.

corner. Stayed back. And Cornet able to get out of trouble. It feels

:12:13.:12:20.

different when Cornet is employing angles. It negates a little bit of

:12:21.:12:28.

the Bouchard power. She has been moving side to side pretty well as

:12:29.:12:30.

well when she gets the opportunity. It is tough to do it. Tough to time

:12:31.:12:40.

away from Bouchard. She has a great presence on the

:12:41.:12:51.

court. Federer was talking at the week and

:12:52.:13:26.

about house tough it is to serve-volley at the moment. It is

:13:27.:13:30.

hard to get your footing. slipped in their, her right foot

:13:31.:13:39.

coming from underneath there. You have to be ginger, take shorter

:13:40.:13:41.

steps and usual muscles more. You have to use your muscles. Be a

:13:42.:13:52.

little more nimble. Great effort from both players.

:13:53.:14:11.

Sinking their teeth into the match. Playing ball. Very competitive.

:14:12.:14:15.

Sinking their teeth into the match. Great body language. Great effort.

:14:16.:14:38.

whole match, hard to get a feel for it. Bouchard has a decent backhand

:14:39.:14:52.

slice but looked uncomfortable hitting that one.

:14:53.:15:52.

Cornet gets the first break of the match.

:15:53.:16:01.

SUE BARKER: we will be right back on centre in a moment. They continue

:16:02.:16:08.

under the roof, the good news for all of the spectators outside is

:16:09.:16:11.

that the clouds have cleared and the sun is out and play is underway once

:16:12.:16:16.

again. This match number one court, she has just levelled the match, Ana

:16:17.:16:23.

Ivanovic, against Sabine Lisicki. That is live on BBC Two.

:16:24.:16:53.

Doesn't that look nice after all of those dark, heavy rain clouds we

:16:54.:17:00.

have had over Wimbledon? The sun is shining and that is a wonderful

:17:01.:17:03.

scene. Under the roof, they continue on Centre Court.

:17:04.:17:10.

CHRIS BRADNAM: huge emotion from this player. MARTINA NAVRATILOVA:

:17:11.:17:25.

Bouchard had the break point the first time Cornet served, missed the

:17:26.:17:33.

return, one may be for too much and now Cornet is in the drivers seat.

:17:34.:17:42.

That ball ended on the service line and died. She was better at the

:17:43.:17:50.

beginning of the match, now she seems to be doubting his self,

:17:51.:17:53.

whether she should or not. Cornet beat Serena Williams in

:17:54.:18:20.

Dubai. We talked about it so long and hard. Backing it up on Saturday,

:18:21.:18:31.

beating her again at Wimbledon. The reservoir started to get deeper and

:18:32.:18:32.

deeper in February. Bouchard is forcing the action here.

:18:33.:18:50.

She is pressing Cornet. She's growing in confidence. Being a top

:18:51.:18:57.

player gives you a huge amount of confidence but if you can do it

:18:58.:19:02.

back-to-back, talk about backing up your big victory, that is really

:19:03.:19:05.

backing it up. And on top of that, doing it at a Grand Slam and against

:19:06.:19:06.

Serena Williams. Cornet completely believes in

:19:07.:19:14.

herself. Coming forwards. Wow. Cornet is

:19:15.:20:51.

moving better. Hitting the ball deeper, I think. It feels like that.

:20:52.:20:56.

Bouchard is doubting herself right now, even after that shop, she did

:20:57.:21:02.

not come in forward as much, this should have been a backhand volley.

:21:03.:21:05.

She is moving to her left and pushed it.

:21:06.:21:17.

So often, you do not need experience when you are just playing good

:21:18.:21:54.

enough, and she has done twice this year, to make semifinals of a

:21:55.:21:59.

Major. But still very inexperienced in comparison to Cornet. It shows

:22:00.:22:08.

you what a good head Bouchard has on her shoulders. Even when things do

:22:09.:22:12.

not go right, she still somehow managed to win that game. I

:22:13.:22:19.

completely saw another break coming. She has shown how blinkered she is.

:22:20.:22:24.

When she first burst through after winning the juniors, there was a lot

:22:25.:22:27.

of talk about her looks and the glamour and she actually got cross

:22:28.:22:31.

in interviews and said, I want to talk about tennis, let's keep it to

:22:32.:22:36.

tennis which is what I am all about. Working as hard as I can to improve.

:22:37.:22:40.

Good for her, Working as hard as I can to improve.

:22:41.:22:44.

straight. Everything will come in due time but she is playing with a

:22:45.:22:50.

sense of urgency. Cool, calm and collected. Greg Dyke from the FA. I

:22:51.:22:56.

did not know who that was! Wake up great! -- Greg! Somebody give that

:22:57.:23:03.

man sunk coffee! Bouchard jumped on that 70 mph

:23:04.:23:13.

second serve. She was better on his second set in

:23:14.:24:49.

the second set and on the first Cornet gathering herself, big

:24:50.:25:28.

point. Bouchard attacking the second serve better so does Cornet take

:25:29.:25:33.

some pace of the first said to get it in?

:25:34.:25:50.

A big return from Bouchard and Cornet again going for the backhand.

:25:51.:25:59.

Cornet is very solid on that side. Bush and making an error on the

:26:00.:26:04.

forehand. -- Bouchard. Bouchard waited too early and could

:26:05.:26:25.

not check his swing. -- her swing. Slight opportunity here for

:26:26.:26:26.

Bouchard. Three points in a row for Cornet.

:26:27.:26:49.

She is one tough competitor. She is a game away from levelling

:26:50.:27:07.

this fourth round. when Cornet hit that shot, I thought

:27:08.:29:28.

it was going long, I think Bouchard thought that as well. Bouchard Way

:29:29.:29:33.

too early on that shot. And missed it.

:29:34.:29:57.

just joining us. Cornet is going to have to serve out the second set.

:29:58.:30:07.

When you see that serving for the set caption, it can play havoc with

:30:08.:30:15.

the mind, can't it? Cornet, with a ball toss, Martina. Yes, playing

:30:16.:30:22.

Serena, she had a lot of bad tosses on the serve and she held the ball

:30:23.:30:29.

with just three fingers. The pinky and the ring finger not involved.

:30:30.:30:36.

Just three fingers. You can't really see it. When she gets nervous,

:30:37.:30:40.

that's why I think it goes off. She can't control it as well.

:30:41.:30:47.

I could see it from the commentators box.

:30:48.:30:50.

I could see It is peculiar. It's interesting, the other end on the

:30:51.:31:03.

return for Bouchard, too. We have seen Greg Dyke in the Royal box. She

:31:04.:31:09.

is like a Subbuteo player, wobbling all over the place. She has great

:31:10.:31:16.

ability to hit off both sides. This is going to be a fascinating game.

:31:17.:31:18.

Well, four, she made it. This time, she

:31:19.:31:41.

only gets one chance for it, but she has not lost it yet.

:31:42.:31:59.

Beautiful. She only had one drop shot in the match, and back came

:32:00.:32:08.

from nowhere and she was in a perfect position for it, inside the

:32:09.:32:15.

baseline. She took her time with it. Cornet way behind the baseline.

:32:16.:32:16.

Nicely done. The ever important first point, the

:32:17.:32:29.

person saving -- serving for the match.

:32:30.:32:39.

On the line. It was on the sideline. I think it was about six inches in

:32:40.:32:48.

front of the baseline on the sideline.

:32:49.:32:54.

You are right about the ball toss. We have a good view from our box

:32:55.:33:28.

here at this end. Gutsy play there. 0- 30 on her

:33:29.:34:00.

serve. She had to have this point really to have a chance to hold.

:34:01.:34:06.

Really good playing from Cornet. This is such a well played a match

:34:07.:34:13.

from both players. Too early on that one.

:34:14.:34:18.

If I was to say something to athlete -- Bouchard, I would say to

:34:19.:34:28.

concentrate on Cornet's backhand. She is playing her shot regardless

:34:29.:34:36.

of what was going on with Cornet. Two points from the set for Cornet,

:34:37.:34:39.

for the match. Seeing it

:34:40.:34:55.

The ball was well at. A big opportunity for Bouchard. Finally

:34:56.:34:56.

gets a second serve. Much different ball location here.

:34:57.:35:17.

Cornet, only three fingers but Bouchard really moving forward on

:35:18.:35:22.

that return. Set point. No, break point. Break point, sorry.

:35:23.:35:35.

Fantastic from Cornet. Cooley saves that break

:35:36.:35:44.

Fantastic point. Bouchard is 0-3.

:35:45.:35:50.

Again, just two points from the set for Cornet.

:35:51.:36:02.

She does not like to get inside the baseline. She had said well behind

:36:03.:36:09.

the baseline because she can swing fully. When she's inside, she has to

:36:10.:36:13.

bring the ball down quickly. Could not do it there. Another break point

:36:14.:36:21.

for Bouchard. Hasn't made one of them yet. This is a big one.

:36:22.:36:35.

Demanded such clean hitting on the return.

:36:36.:37:02.

It's a sign of a champion, a future champion, Bouchard. She has not

:37:03.:37:08.

broken serviette but when she had to, she did.

:37:09.:37:27.

Cornet is not playing a bad game but Bouchard has stepped it up a little

:37:28.:37:35.

bit. That was the shot and now Bouchard, all of a sudden, more

:37:36.:37:37.

aggressive. There were a couple of calls of out.

:37:38.:38:19.

Cornet had a great return. Bouchard able to neutralise it and then

:38:20.:38:22.

Cornet pushes her back and cuts off that forehand volley really well.

:38:23.:38:28.

The ball goes across court every time but she hates it so well,

:38:29.:38:33.

Bouchard. -- she hates it so well, Bouchard. -- hits.

:38:34.:39:07.

Bouchard is on to the forehand now, pushing Cornet back and when she

:39:08.:39:14.

gets pushed back to the forehand corner, she goes across court most

:39:15.:39:18.

of the time. Bouchard on top of that one. So maybe attacking the forehand

:39:19.:39:25.

a little more here, the last couple of games, would you say? For sure.

:39:26.:39:29.

Sure feels like it to me here. Is she going to challenge that one?

:39:30.:39:46.

It felt wide when she hit it. Cornet now, she is saying no, it was out.

:39:47.:39:53.

Just wide. UMPIRE: Cornet has one challenge

:39:54.:40:03.

remaining. It's amazing how every now and

:40:04.:40:54.

then, player captures the imagination in the hearts of people

:40:55.:40:59.

wherever they play. Australia, it has koala bears, teddy bears. At the

:41:00.:41:05.

French Open, it has much of the same. She's getting the lion 's

:41:06.:41:10.

share here. As well as she should. She is a personable woman with a

:41:11.:41:16.

great game. She is beautiful. She will get the endorsements for her

:41:17.:41:19.

locks as well as her game, but she wants to get it for her game. The

:41:20.:41:24.

locks just add another 02 the cheque. It's an extra strength. The

:41:25.:41:31.

locker room respect we always talk about. Yes, she is a total package.

:41:32.:41:38.

If she stays healthy, the sky is the limit. She wants it badly for all

:41:39.:41:42.

the right reasons and it's good to see. Nathalie Tauziat workers are

:41:43.:41:48.

part-time and Canada. A former finalist here. Let's focus on the

:41:49.:41:59.

here and now. Her mother looks on. She certainly getting it done here.

:42:00.:42:05.

And now, huge pressure on Cornet. Cornet has to do reset. She must be

:42:06.:42:12.

disappointed. Just play it a little careful on the forehand. Deuce cast

:42:13.:42:18.

turbo game. She needs to step it up here or her Wimbledon is over.

:42:19.:42:30.

That's just fantastic stuff from Bouchard. Six inches from the

:42:31.:42:37.

sideline to the forehand, maybe even less than that to the backline, and

:42:38.:42:44.

then she goes inside line again. This was the furthest from the line

:42:45.:42:48.

and a clean winner. Great accuracy from Bouchard, side to side. Dead

:42:49.:42:50.

accurate. Another challenge. The last one she

:42:51.:43:17.

has got. That's why she was upset before. If she is wrong here, she is

:43:18.:43:28.

out of challenges. Yes. It may not matter. It is 0-30. That's a bigger

:43:29.:43:34.

issue not having any challenges left. Nothing until the end of the

:43:35.:43:44.

match. That last return was hit really hard. She is going on

:43:45.:43:49.

adrenaline and confidence right now. That was the best drop shot in the

:43:50.:44:11.

last two matches. She hit some good ones against Serena, but this was a

:44:12.:44:16.

must have point, must have drop shot. And she feels it. The perfect

:44:17.:44:26.

play, with the Bouchard form of late. Bouchard teed off on the last

:44:27.:44:35.

return and I expect this one to go Mach three. She has a chance. --.

:44:36.:44:52.

Is she OK? She has slipped. Buried deep in the lush area of the court.

:44:53.:45:18.

Bouchard prefers to hit forehand rather than an overhead. Every time

:45:19.:45:29.

she hits a bully, it's harder to time and she ends up missing the

:45:30.:45:30.

third one. -- volley. It is relentless.

:45:31.:45:33.

starting to edge. Four games in a row. Pure class.

:45:34.:46:43.

Eugenie Bouchard, just her sixth major main draw. It is a third major

:46:44.:46:52.

qualifying, her first Wimbledon. The junior champion, just two years ago,

:46:53.:46:56.

has won the hearts of everybody here in the UK. It's another major

:46:57.:47:05.

quarterfinal to look forward to. Fantastic effort from Cornet after

:47:06.:47:09.

the great win against Serena Williams but at the end, Bouchard

:47:10.:47:13.

just had too much of her repertoire, too much power. She imposed herself

:47:14.:47:18.

on the match, broke when she had two and played their best tennis in the

:47:19.:47:22.

last couple of games and that's a sign of a champion coming back from

:47:23.:47:28.

behind in the second set. A great effort from Cornet. I think she will

:47:29.:47:33.

be moving up the rankings. I see her in the top 15 if she plays like

:47:34.:47:38.

this. Bouchard, only one way for her, and that is going up. I love it

:47:39.:47:43.

when both players arrive on court together and they get so much right

:47:44.:47:47.

here in Wimbledon. It's the one thing I wish they would tighten up

:47:48.:47:51.

on, and loosen up in other areas but get the players to walk off

:47:52.:47:56.

together. Inevitably the winner will sign autographs. It's so important

:47:57.:48:01.

in this wonderful sport. They should do that more often. I agree with

:48:02.:48:06.

you. They do on court interviews and some tournaments but they don't do

:48:07.:48:09.

that here. I like the players walking on and off together but

:48:10.:48:14.

either way, Bouchard is a deserving winner here and played a great

:48:15.:48:18.

match. She must like her chances for the rest of the tournament. She

:48:19.:48:26.

plays the winner of Kerber or Sharapova and they are waiting now

:48:27.:48:29.

for Andy Murray, next up. The defending champion. Huge excitement

:48:30.:48:34.

for that one but they got pretty excited for that terrific

:48:35.:48:42.

fourth-round and Bouchard coming-of-age every time she steps

:48:43.:48:45.

on court. No singing for Cliff Richard today. The roof has been

:48:46.:48:50.

closed. He's a very good play himself and thoroughly enjoys seeing

:48:51.:48:55.

the rising star which is Eugenie Bouchard, and she is through to the

:48:56.:49:00.

quarterfinals at Wimbledon in one hour and 46 minutes. 7-6, 7-5 and

:49:01.:49:03.

she is now talking to us. Many congratulations. Your immediate

:49:04.:49:13.

thoughts on making it through to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon? I'm

:49:14.:49:17.

excited, proud of where I fought today, it wasn't easy and she she's

:49:18.:49:22.

a good player and she got back a lot of balls so I had to finish the

:49:23.:49:24.

point, which I did successfully sometimes. You mentioned it's a bit

:49:25.:49:30.

humid under the roof. Your first experience of it, how did you find

:49:31.:49:34.

it? Yeah, finally I played under the famous roof. It was definitely

:49:35.:49:41.

humid. There's less air circulation or something, but it was tougher

:49:42.:49:44.

battle of the same about the both of the climate is the same for both

:49:45.:49:48.

players. Last week you mentioned going deep into the second week of

:49:49.:49:53.

Wimbledon. You are into the quarterfinals mouthfuls of how

:49:54.:49:56.

excited I do about what's to come? I'm very excited by new to stay

:49:57.:50:00.

focused. I have another match, I'm focused on one match at a time and

:50:01.:50:04.

it's very important for me not to be distracted and keep my focus on

:50:05.:50:09.

that. You know, this it worked so hard for, to be the quarterfinals at

:50:10.:50:12.

Wimbledon. I'm excited, but I want to go further. The army marches on.

:50:13.:50:17.

Yes, it does. Thank you. SUE BARKER: What a performance from

:50:18.:50:37.

this young lady, semifinalist at the Australian Open, and the French

:50:38.:50:41.

Open, and now she is through to the quarterfinals and will be up against

:50:42.:50:48.

Kerber or Maria Sharapova. What a quarterfinal that will be and that

:50:49.:50:50.

will maybe be tomorrow or maybe not. quarterfinal that will be and that

:50:51.:50:54.

We are still playing catch up because of the rain. A wonderful

:50:55.:50:57.

match to start the Centre Court programme and I think we will fill

:50:58.:51:02.

up more of this young lady for many many years to come. The former

:51:03.:51:06.

junior champion. And one of the favourites to pick the main title

:51:07.:51:14.

this time. Meanwhile, Oberon Court Number One, Sabine Lisicki,

:51:15.:51:16.

this time. Meanwhile, Oberon Court year's finalist,

:51:17.:51:19.

this time. Meanwhile, Oberon Court Ivanovic. They started us on

:51:20.:51:24.

Saturday afternoon. They had stop it because of the rain.

:51:25.:51:26.

Saturday afternoon. They had stop it third set against the former world

:51:27.:51:30.

number one Ana Ivanovic. And she will be playing in the fourth round.

:51:31.:51:43.

A busy time for Sabine Lisicki. Court Number One is finished. As far

:51:44.:51:49.

as the women's singles is concerned. Next up, we have Dimitrov, beating

:51:50.:51:57.

Lizzy Yarnold Lopez and he's up against Leonardo Mayer from

:51:58.:52:05.

Argentina. A new experience for Dimitrov, the second week of

:52:06.:52:08.

Wimbledon, but here's one of the favourites and he is in Andy

:52:09.:52:15.

Murray's quarter of the draw. So here is the scene at Wimbledon. I'm

:52:16.:52:19.

pleased to say, no rain at the moment. Play continues on the

:52:20.:52:23.

outside courts but you can see that the roof is on Centre Court. But we

:52:24.:52:29.

are sharing that they are going to open it for the next match, so we

:52:30.:52:34.

await that. We would have thought it would have started by now because

:52:35.:52:37.

the match finished a short time ago so maybe they are worried it will be

:52:38.:52:44.

another shower, but even when they start to open it, it will be around

:52:45.:52:47.

50 minutes before play gets underway on Centre Court if they are going to

:52:48.:52:53.

open it. -- 15 minutes. I have made my way down here, because Andy

:52:54.:53:00.

Murray is next on court as he continues his Wimbledon story. It

:53:01.:53:04.

has been quite a start so far as he is cruised through the opening week

:53:05.:53:05.

dropping just 19 games. Wimbledon is underway. The weather

:53:06.:53:18.

is glorious. There's so much excitement today, a real buzz around

:53:19.:53:22.

the grounds because wouldn't Wimbledon champion is on court. The

:53:23.:53:30.

expectation as high as Murray gets his defence of his Wimbledon title

:53:31.:53:31.

underway. Stunning defence from Murray. It's

:53:32.:53:38.

like he's never left the court. An ideal day and an ideal start to

:53:39.:53:55.

his defence. What a perfect start to the defence of his title here at FW

:53:56.:54:01.

19. And very high standard of match. He was maybe a bit nervous at the

:54:02.:54:04.

beginning but he played some great rallies but I had to finish it in

:54:05.:54:08.

three, because he was playing really well. It should be a good one, this.

:54:09.:54:16.

Rola has admired Andy Murray for some time, and now he gets the

:54:17.:54:19.

chance to play the defending champion. It's running away fast,

:54:20.:54:26.

isn't it? Too hot for Rola to handle. Murray is romping away. So

:54:27.:54:37.

good, so easy. Rola has been absolutely blown away. The money

:54:38.:54:40.

machine rumbles on, -- Murray. No fuss. It was tough for him today. He

:54:41.:54:47.

has not had much grass court experience but he's got a good game.

:54:48.:54:52.

It took care of my serve for the majority of the match and played

:54:53.:54:56.

well. How does it feel to be a tennis player? Yeah, it feels good.

:54:57.:55:02.

It's a nice job to have. To get to travel the world and play in nice

:55:03.:55:04.

stadiums, so it's good. He has the task of taking on the

:55:05.:55:19.

defending champion. A few of his friends are here in Centre Court.

:55:20.:55:22.

These early skirmishes are interesting. His sliced backhand.

:55:23.:55:30.

This is what we expected. He is beginning to have but all of

:55:31.:55:36.

invincibility. -- that aura of invincibility. The man who is

:55:37.:55:43.

dismantling its 23rd in the world, just superb. Andy Murray stays in

:55:44.:55:50.

for the second week. Wonderful performance, it really was. It was a

:55:51.:55:55.

step up, I thought I responded well. There were a few things I could do

:55:56.:55:59.

better but it's been a good first week and now I can rest up.

:56:00.:56:08.

Week one has gone without a hitch and we are still here under the roof

:56:09.:56:14.

on Centre Court. Lovely to see you here. Ross, back on the match court

:56:15.:56:21.

of Wimbledon. And you a friend of Andy Murray. Looking forward to

:56:22.:56:25.

this? Absolutely gummy breezed this? Absolutely gummy breezed

:56:26.:56:28.

through the first week with no problems and I'm excited to watch

:56:29.:56:31.

him play. I have seen him play this Wimbledon, but I watched him play a

:56:32.:56:37.

couple of shots on the first day and now I'm here to enjoy this match.

:56:38.:56:41.

Really excited and I can't wait to see him play. Federer, I'm confused,

:56:42.:56:49.

because they are saying there are going to open the roof but they are

:56:50.:56:52.

saying the players are leaving the locker room. It gives him

:56:53.:56:59.

saying the players are leaving the airtime. It takes time to put the

:57:00.:57:02.

coins in the coins and it. And wind it up a bit. To press the button. I

:57:03.:57:07.

think that's what we're being told. it up a bit. To press the button. I

:57:08.:57:11.

At the end of the day, it's an outdoor tournament, so you have got

:57:12.:57:15.

to make every effort to play the match is outdoors. It will be

:57:16.:57:19.

interesting to see what the weather radar says, because it has been

:57:20.:57:22.

unpredictable today and the last thing you want to do is open roof

:57:23.:57:25.

and then, 15 minutes later you have to shut it again. It wastes more

:57:26.:57:31.

time and get wasted time already with the first week. All the more

:57:32.:57:36.

reason not to open the roof. Here we go. Here we go. It's a fantastic

:57:37.:57:45.

atmosphere. It may rain again but it's been opening. Anderson, big

:57:46.:57:54.

serve in doors. I remember the final two years ago with Federer when they

:57:55.:57:57.

closed the roof, it change the feeling that match, didn't it?

:57:58.:58:03.

Slightly different. What I meant is, and the like roof open. The

:58:04.:58:12.

noise of the big hitting player like Anderson, it's intimidating. Having

:58:13.:58:20.

less of an Echo helps. It sounded like it was breaking 105. What about

:58:21.:58:28.

Kevin Anderson? A big serve. Is he more than that? He is a big-time

:58:29.:58:34.

player. He has beaten Andy Murray before. As you'd server. He has

:58:35.:58:39.

served over 60 aces already this tournament, but he does lots of

:58:40.:58:45.

spends on his serve, so is able to hit the body swerve and have a big

:58:46.:58:52.

forehand as well. He is also high rank, so he's feeling confident. He

:58:53.:59:01.

has beaten Andy Murray before but I think Andy will be too much today.

:59:02.:59:05.

We will see. Let's find out more about Kevin.

:59:06.:59:16.

is the best you have done at Wimbledon? It is special making that

:59:17.:59:42.

second week. You have beaten Andy Murray and you have practised

:59:43.:59:46.

against him, does it give you a different insight into how he plays?

:59:47.:59:51.

It gives me something as to what to expect but I have not played him on

:59:52.:59:57.

grass. At least having played him a few times and practised with him, I

:59:58.:00:01.

have a bit of an idea of what to expect. Obviously very different

:00:02.:00:07.

circumstances. But maybe if you point is to keep in the back of my

:00:08.:00:13.

mind. What do you have in your armoury that would give you an edge

:00:14.:00:19.

that Andy does not have? It will be important to me to try to serve

:00:20.:00:27.

well, I feel I can have the upper hand there. He is six tall. And he

:00:28.:00:37.

has a good serve at his disposal. -- he is six feet eight inches tall.

:00:38.:00:46.

Andy Murray is one of the best returners in the game. It will not

:00:47.:00:51.

be easy. It is why he is Wimbledon champion. I will have to be on my

:00:52.:00:58.

game to give myself a shot. You like the atmosphere at Wimbledon. I am

:00:59.:01:03.

sure you would not mind spoiling a British party? It was great to see

:01:04.:01:12.

Andy finally get it done last year but I will have to put those

:01:13.:01:17.

emotions aside. SUE BARKER: that is a blue sky over there but I can tell

:01:18.:01:22.

you, there is a very dark cloud looming over Wimbledon and Centre

:01:23.:01:28.

Court. It will be interesting to see whether the rain comes in just a few

:01:29.:01:31.

minutes because it is looking threatening overhead. The

:01:32.:01:34.

temperature has dropped dramatically. It suddenly got cold.

:01:35.:01:41.

It was very noticeable that when the roof was closed, it was very warm

:01:42.:01:45.

but now, there is a slight breeze out here and it is more out doors,

:01:46.:01:50.

Wimbledon weather. Which I think helps Andy Murray because he is used

:01:51.:01:56.

to this. The old home-court advantage! Anderson has thrown down

:01:57.:02:10.

63 aces so far. I practised next to him, this guy is every bit XP eight

:02:11.:02:18.

inches. With that type of fire power, you have got to watch out. Is

:02:19.:02:30.

he just happy to be here? Yes. But he also has a lot to gain.

:02:31.:02:36.

It is not often you see Andy Murray dwarfed out on court. Those big

:02:37.:03:01.

serves coming down from such a height... It takes you a while to

:03:02.:03:07.

get used to the trajectory of the service. Your return point will be a

:03:08.:03:17.

little higher. More chest height. From Anderson's point of view, he

:03:18.:03:22.

has a fantastic serve but he is not going to serve Andy Murray off the

:03:23.:03:25.

court because Andy Murray can return so well. It is important for

:03:26.:03:31.

Anderson that he looks at Abe 1-2 punch. He needs to take risks from

:03:32.:03:39.

the baseline. He needs to look to dictate with a first or second shot

:03:40.:03:43.

of the rally. The longer the rally goes, the more it favours Murray.

:03:44.:03:49.

This was against Fognini and he said his back got a bit stiff. That was

:03:50.:03:55.

about getting to the second week of Wimbledon for the first time. Now

:03:56.:04:00.

there is no pressure. There is pressure but it is performing well

:04:01.:04:04.

in an overwhelming situation as opposed to expect in the victory. I

:04:05.:04:11.

agree that he has to take chances and he has two dictate, like what

:04:12.:04:18.

Ivan Lendl started doing, Andy's old coach, when he became better and

:04:19.:04:22.

better. Hitting the big serve and then he would take control.

:04:23.:04:37.

How good is that return of Andy Murray? Key neutralises play so

:04:38.:04:45.

well. He can dictate the points after the. You think you are

:04:46.:04:47.

dominating a rally but he puts after the. You think you are

:04:48.:04:52.

on the back foot immediately. It will be interesting to see if he

:04:53.:05:01.

chips a lot of returns. Andy Murray knows he will win 80% of rallies

:05:02.:05:06.

once they start. Anderson needs to end that rally quicker than usual.

:05:07.:05:12.

Anderson can serve a volley, like that,. We have been impressed with

:05:13.:05:21.

Murray's backhand. In Roland Garros, at the French, he looked like he was

:05:22.:05:27.

being really aggressive. It looks as if he is hitting it even flatter

:05:28.:05:31.

than normal. Court positioning have been closer to the baseline, looking

:05:32.:05:37.

to dictate with the backhand. Pro active rather than reactive. Looking

:05:38.:05:44.

at Anderson's stats, two singles titles. Such a big difference in

:05:45.:05:52.

experience. How does it feel, Murray seems very comfortable, coming back

:05:53.:05:55.

as champion. He seems comfortable in that role. There is definitely less

:05:56.:06:02.

pressure now he has won the tournament. He has had an excellent

:06:03.:06:06.

draw. These guys have practised together. They are familiar with

:06:07.:06:14.

each other. This is where you try to impose that feeling on your opponent

:06:15.:06:19.

to get an easy first... It is almost as if you have given a couple of

:06:20.:06:24.

games each set and possibly most of the first set, that because this man

:06:25.:06:26.

will be so wound up, the first set, that because this man

:06:27.:06:50.

sets, four debt and five sets so he has come through some tough matches.

:06:51.:06:58.

For Andy Murray, it will be a step up today. Andy Murray has had back

:06:59.:07:05.

surgery and he has been getting confident with his body again. He

:07:06.:07:11.

has had a lot of treatment and constantly gets treatment. It is all

:07:12.:07:22.

about managing the issues. Andy Murray has said he is feeling really

:07:23.:07:29.

healthy on court. If you put that with his experience on the court and

:07:30.:07:33.

the amount of success he has had on this court, the Olympics and the two

:07:34.:07:38.

finals, he feels at home year. Put him in a good position second week,

:07:39.:07:43.

and you have got a fighting fit Andy. The confidence in the body is

:07:44.:07:52.

important in a grand isn't it? You have no chance whatsoever otherwise.

:07:53.:07:59.

He had the chance to win against Nadal, he made it to the semis of

:08:00.:08:05.

the French, that is where I really feel that now I know I can do it.

:08:06.:08:10.

Even though he had not played the French last year, I think he was

:08:11.:08:15.

spent from the French and it gave him a chance to get ready for

:08:16.:08:19.

Wimbledon. Andy Murray has got his target practice again, trying to hit

:08:20.:08:24.

you three guys! The service will be key for Andy Murray as well. It was

:08:25.:08:29.

a feature in his key for Andy Murray as well. It was

:08:30.:08:32.

performances, his first serve percentage was high. Winning a good

:08:33.:08:36.

percentage of those points behind the serve. That frees him up even

:08:37.:08:45.

more on the return. It is interesting to see how many people

:08:46.:08:50.

want to come and watch Andy Murray. Sir Alex Ferguson has been such a

:08:51.:08:56.

fan of Andy Murray 's and Andy Murray loves his football. I think

:08:57.:09:03.

Sir Alex feels almost like a father figure to him. Last year, he gave

:09:04.:09:11.

him a few words of advice. This guy feels lonely! LAUGHTER

:09:12.:09:20.

He used to work every year... Everybody loves coming out to watch

:09:21.:09:22.

Andy, Everybody loves coming out to watch

:09:23.:09:29.

John and Tim have work to do in the commentary box. We are already in

:09:30.:09:32.

the next chapter of Andy's Wimbledon story. As he steps back out to

:09:33.:09:45.

Centre Court... What a perfect start. Blaz Rola, he has admired

:09:46.:09:51.

Andy Murray for some time and now he gets a chance... He is romping away

:09:52.:09:58.

with this one now. As combat hands of a victory as you are likely to

:09:59.:10:05.

see. -- as comprehensive a victory. Andy Murray stays in. Wonderful

:10:06.:10:15.

performance. SUE BARKER: he has dropped just 19 games, he lost 32 in

:10:16.:10:23.

this week a year ago. He is on a winning streak at the All-England

:10:24.:10:28.

Club and he is looking for his second consecutive Wimbledon

:10:29.:10:37.

quarterfinal. MARK PETCHEY: with the roof open, Kevin Anderson and Andy

:10:38.:10:49.

Murray. Andy Murray breezed the opening week with some wonderful

:10:50.:10:53.

play. But the man from South Africa, at six foot eight, who beat

:10:54.:11:03.

Novak Djokovic in 2008 in Miami. He was asked at that press conference

:11:04.:11:06.

how tall he was and he said six foot seven so he has grown and then! JOHN

:11:07.:11:14.

McENROE: he is a huge guy, he really is. He will put Andy Murray under

:11:15.:11:23.

pressure for the first time in this event. How tall will he be if you

:11:24.:11:34.

win this match? ! The bigger they are, the harder they fall. It has

:11:35.:11:40.

been an amazing journey for Kevin Anderson.

:11:41.:12:12.

He learned his craft in South Africa but certainly honed it at the

:12:13.:12:16.

university of Illinois. Anderson hustling download. -- down

:12:17.:12:46.

low the height is an advantage on the serve. Bending for the low

:12:47.:12:49.

balls, not quite so comfortable. Terrific second serve, it looks

:12:50.:13:25.

quick at 103 but he has been serving at 106 which is well in the comfort

:13:26.:13:28.

zone of Kevin Anderson. This was the goal when Andy Murray

:13:29.:14:20.

won the toss, to try to get an early break to use his experience out

:14:21.:14:22.

here. That is his serve that is so tough

:14:23.:14:40.

for anyone to handle because he is so tall.

:14:41.:15:26.

I think you get a pretty early idea of what he is up against, if you get

:15:27.:15:32.

in the point, greatly increases Murray's chances of winning points.

:15:33.:15:39.

The problem is figuring out where he is going to serve because you figure

:15:40.:15:41.

the percentage will be up at 67%. This is the challenge for Kevin, not

:15:42.:15:54.

just today but generally on tour, breaking serve enough.

:15:55.:16:10.

Like John Isner, who does not break so often himself.

:16:11.:16:58.

A couple of days did not encourage any rust in that department,

:16:59.:17:51.

That is the type of ball he should avoid in my book, the first return

:17:52.:17:54.

that floated. This will pay dividends for Murray

:17:55.:18:02.

down the road. Smart play, because

:18:03.:18:48.

around his backhand like most players, so you have to keep him on

:18:49.:18:52.

his toes, he is leaning to his left and that makes that shot very

:18:53.:18:53.

effective. Murray doing a good job on return,

:18:54.:19:24.

just blocking the first serve back but when Anderson knows that if he

:19:25.:19:28.

is going to chip it, he has to move forward. Plenty of opportunity to

:19:29.:19:29.

serve and volley. He is very comfortable at the back,

:19:30.:20:13.

Kevin Anderson, it is where he plies his trade.

:20:14.:20:54.

Murray standing in a locked close on the second serve, you almost wonder

:20:55.:20:57.

whether that is necessary. The same reason you get a double

:20:58.:21:43.

break, service game, you felt like he should have won the point. He is

:21:44.:21:50.

daring Anderson to go for too much. Goading him into hitting a double

:21:51.:21:56.

fault. Great serve, body serve, he probably wanted him to keep doing

:21:57.:21:59.

that because he will probably start doubling. This is another block

:22:00.:22:05.

return, nothing really on it, Anderson allowing him to be back

:22:06.:22:11.

into his heels. This is what he has been doing and it will be successful

:22:12.:22:14.

unless Anderson figured out a plan B. John, you played him in that

:22:15.:22:21.

superset tennis event at Wembley. B. John, you played him in that

:22:22.:22:30.

Tim pointed out, he was 12! You told him to put his foot on the singles

:22:31.:22:35.

line. Lopez, who has just beaten John Isner, said, get deep and move

:22:36.:22:43.

yourself forward. It has been an evolution in terms of that. That is

:22:44.:22:51.

the preferable way to go to me. Some guys, Gasquet, the most obvious one,

:22:52.:22:53.

backpedals. It does not make sense. Anderson does not really have that

:22:54.:23:44.

ability to block all is back, you tries to drive them all the time I

:23:45.:23:47.

does not buy himself a lot of time to get back into position.

:23:48.:24:19.

He is absolutely got to go big like you did on that forehand. He does

:24:20.:24:29.

not have the foot speed, the initial quickness, that these top players

:24:30.:24:32.

have so he has got to get ahead on the point.

:24:33.:24:50.

Just like that return, he caught Murray off-guard commie has to take

:24:51.:24:54.

advantage of that. He hits serves at 17 five miles per

:24:55.:26:51.

hour, you cannot do that when you hitting against guys who can hit as

:26:52.:26:55.

well as Anderson. That was 98, he is six foot eight,

:26:56.:27:19.

you cannot let a serve like that get by you if you are Anderson.

:27:20.:27:35.

You mentioned the back being an issue in the third round match, he

:27:36.:27:45.

has got the strap on his knee, going up his leg. He played the far more

:27:46.:27:52.

difficult matches to get here. The nerves, I am saying, if he can stay

:27:53.:28:01.

within one break at this stage, his first set, it will be a victory.

:28:02.:28:06.

Needs to get that body moving. He is managing his knee as best he

:28:07.:28:38.

can, Anderson. Doing a pretty good job of it.

:28:39.:28:54.

Hit 18 on the 3rd of March, he is currently a team coming into

:28:55.:29:00.

Wimbledon. This is the best Anderson has ever been.

:29:01.:29:07.

Just not quite the freshest he has ever been.

:29:08.:29:21.

power, he would have had more success on grass.

:29:22.:29:53.

Thought the same about Isner. Never has he gone past the third round.

:29:54.:30:01.

It's incredible, isn't it? There has got to be getting the game plan

:30:02.:30:04.

right when you serve that quickly. It's starting to rain. Why did they

:30:05.:30:13.

open the roof? They just wanted to prove you write, didn't they, John?

:30:14.:30:16.

open the roof? They just wanted to I appreciate it. The other 20

:30:17.:30:23.

reasons don't make sense. Murray gesturing to the umpire. A few spots

:30:24.:30:30.

coming down. It's getting heavier, I'm afraid. He was particularly

:30:31.:30:35.

happy when he was out wide he missed on the previous point.

:30:36.:30:57.

An advantage from Murray because he moved so well. He wants to be able

:30:58.:31:05.

to go full speed. The problem is, it's just a few spots and you think

:31:06.:31:09.

they have got to keep playing in a fuse box but five or ten minutes of

:31:10.:31:13.

this, and the court will get very slippery.

:31:14.:31:35.

Just got a little distracted them, Murray, because of the weather.

:31:36.:31:45.

Anderson's box happier he stayed in contention in this opening set.

:31:46.:31:52.

There must be a good forecast coming up? They must know it's going to

:31:53.:31:58.

clear up. They have got the weather radar in the referee's office as I'm

:31:59.:32:02.

sure they had a good look at it before they opened the roof, so

:32:03.:32:05.

fingers crossed. They don't look too concerned. It's worked for Murray,

:32:06.:32:16.

good start. A bit overwhelmed, I bet outmatched, the dangerous, Anderson.

:32:17.:32:24.

Both of these have said Kevin needs to change as game plan headed this

:32:25.:32:29.

match. Would you have said at the start, just do what comes naturally,

:32:30.:32:34.

playing from the back of the court at the start and immediately come

:32:35.:32:38.

out of your comfort zone or do you play to your strengths to start

:32:39.:32:41.

with? It's not about changing your game plan dramatically but being

:32:42.:32:45.

aware. If he does not ever serve and volley, you're not going to do it

:32:46.:32:50.

every ball, but at least once a game. Especially at Murray is

:32:51.:32:54.

chipping the ball back. Serve and volley to put doubt in your

:32:55.:32:58.

opponent's mind. If it is successful, twice again, and see how

:32:59.:33:07.

it evolves. He's going to chip the return. What are you going to do? Do

:33:08.:33:13.

the same thing? He has a couple of options.

:33:14.:33:31.

You could tell by that approach it was a type of shot you could see he

:33:32.:33:38.

was not accustomed to moving forward. He tried to rip the ball

:33:39.:33:42.

from below the net. As opposed to chipping. That became a low

:33:43.:33:49.

percentage shot, one he should have made, but he made it more difficult

:33:50.:33:56.

than it needed to be. Of course, that have something to do with how

:33:57.:33:57.

well Murray passes. It was almost as if Murray was going

:33:58.:34:36.

to chip and charge because he's going to try something different so

:34:37.:34:40.

maybe took it earlier than he expected. You don't have to do hit

:34:41.:34:44.

it so hard. He was not ready to volley. That was beautiful. See how

:34:45.:35:00.

aggressively tries to beyond that? -- see how aggressive he tries to be

:35:01.:35:03.

on that? Anderson trying to impose himself on

:35:04.:35:32.

the match. It's important Murray doesn't get into the habit of

:35:33.:35:36.

blocking the ball back and saying, now just stay in the rally because

:35:37.:35:41.

if he gets too passive, Anderson is good enough to do some damage from

:35:42.:35:42.

the baseline. It's been awhile incoming. 23

:35:43.:36:00.

minutes. First base for the South African. -- ace.

:36:01.:36:14.

Anderson is as close as he can get to the centre service line. He goes

:36:15.:36:22.

farther right. It seems to open the door for a return down the line.

:36:23.:36:50.

From that position is serving from there, it easier to hit it up the

:36:51.:36:57.

middle. He is tall enough he can angle it, so why not do the same? He

:36:58.:37:02.

has had a lot of aces so that's not his main problem here. If the stud

:37:03.:37:07.

closer to the centre service line, it would be close enough to Murray,

:37:08.:37:13.

because he is tall enough to serve out wide. A better angle up the

:37:14.:37:15.

middle. There is a perfect example because

:37:16.:37:48.

his serve was sort of an Murray's wheelhouse. He has semi-options. --

:37:49.:37:55.

so many options. A different level once they get into a rally.

:37:56.:38:07.

He tried. You have got to tip your hat. He will be looking up at his

:38:08.:38:20.

coach saying, "you told me. There you go."

:38:21.:38:28.

A chance for a second break for Murray in the opening set.

:38:29.:38:59.

That's bad luck for Murray there. Floored him with the top-spin lob.

:39:00.:39:09.

He took his eye off the ball a bit, I think, when he saw Anderson going

:39:10.:39:14.

down. It should have been his point and the second break.

:39:15.:39:49.

It's only the second and forced 12 winners. No two unforced errors.

:39:50.:40:01.

He won't be happy with that at 4-0, juice. -- deuce.

:40:02.:40:12.

The man with a red stripes, his coach from South Africa. A former

:40:13.:40:26.

fourth-round player here. I was interested see how they were

:40:27.:40:44.

talking about how Kevin comes down to practice with Andy. Is it too

:40:45.:40:50.

difficult for these guys to practice together? It's great for Kevin. How

:40:51.:40:57.

often do you want to practice with your potential rivals? I don't

:40:58.:41:04.

think, with all due respect, he considers Anderson as a rival. The

:41:05.:41:09.

respects him. He looks like the guy you want to practice with. And I

:41:10.:41:12.

think they are both better because of it.

:41:13.:41:40.

Murray looking good. Not quite as good as that guy who has been

:41:41.:41:49.

stealing things from Tim Henman's wardrobe! It looks better on him.

:41:50.:42:08.

Not making too many invoked in the Murray's service game at the moment.

:42:09.:42:15.

-- inroads. Very solid player. Gets it done. All

:42:16.:42:49.

credit to him. It took awhile to get comfortable in his frame. Six tall.

:42:50.:42:54.

Spent a few years at college. That helped him. Then he has been

:42:55.:43:03.

battling out there. The best tennis of his life, he has been playing.

:43:04.:43:15.

Murray changed his mind. He had already given away the drop shot.

:43:16.:43:21.

Anderson was starting to move forward but then it looked like he

:43:22.:43:26.

was going to hit it deep. Federer is an expert of, faking news. -- you.

:43:27.:43:35.

SUE BARKER: We're coming to the end of our transmission on BBC1 because

:43:36.:43:39.

it's time to head over to Brazil as France take on Nigeria. Football

:43:40.:43:43.
