Ladies' Singles and Ladies' Doubles Finals

:00:47. > :00:54.dream to one day play here at Wimbledon. When you enter those

:00:55. > :00:59.gates an you're stepping on the court to play, it's overwhelming.

:01:00. > :01:01.gates an you're stepping on the court to play, it's Just the feel of

:01:02. > :01:05.your feet when you walk down the grass and the way you move and the

:01:06. > :01:09.way the ball bounce and the way you hit a shot, it's not really

:01:10. > :01:18.physical, it's about the rhythm, the timing, the pure tennis. When I walk

:01:19. > :01:29.out for my first final in 2007, I remember feeling so excited. I felt

:01:30. > :01:34.like I was going to a party. COMMENTATOR: For the fourth time

:01:35. > :01:38.Venus Williams reigns supreme. Seeing someone lifting the winners

:01:39. > :01:44.trophy and you're standing there with the worst feeling in the world.

:01:45. > :01:52.It's the worst place to be second. I think I was just not ready. It took

:01:53. > :02:02.me six years to be there again. It was a long time. When I close my

:02:03. > :02:07.eyes I can picture myself when I'm about to serve for match point. The

:02:08. > :02:10.goose bumps and the feeling of the rush of blood that goes through from

:02:11. > :02:15.your heart to your legs and knowing it's almost there, it's like you're

:02:16. > :02:23.ten seconds away, you're just a motion away. My heart beat start to

:02:24. > :02:30.go so fast. I wanted to win so badly.

:02:31. > :02:39.COMMENTATOR: She is unique. She is Wimbledon champion.

:02:40. > :02:55.To me Centre Court is really my home and the place I treasure the most.

:02:56. > :02:59.It will stay in my heart forever. Reliving Marian's moment shows how

:03:00. > :03:03.much it means to win the title, her name will forever be etched in the

:03:04. > :03:09.history of this club. At 2pm today, our finalists will have the chance

:03:10. > :03:13.to follow her. They will come here, past the Venus Rose Water Dish,

:03:14. > :03:22.ready to walk on Centre Court, ready to take their chance. It's a moment

:03:23. > :03:32.I've never experienced before, so I don't know was going to happen. It's

:03:33. > :03:36.a big honour for me to be there. I'm sure I will be very excited.

:03:37. > :03:41.COMMENTATOR: ANDREW CASTLE: A lot of people dream about success. Bouchard

:03:42. > :03:50.stays wide awake to achieve it. I'm going to be in the zone. Can you

:03:51. > :03:57.see anyone stopping her? I'm going to try to enjoy every single moment.

:03:58. > :04:01.It's the biggest match of my career. What a way to finish, Petra Kvitova

:04:02. > :04:05.marches through to another Wimbledon final. This so driven, ambitious

:04:06. > :04:21.young woman is in her first major final. You see the trophies and it's

:04:22. > :04:22.overwhelming. Wimbledon is the most prestigious tournament in tennis.

:04:23. > :04:34.It's going to be a huge moment.. That is the final, the first ever

:04:35. > :04:38.Grand Slam final featuring two players born in the 1990s, as

:04:39. > :04:42.24-year-old Petra Kvitova, the champion in 2011, and 20-year-old

:04:43. > :04:48.Eugenie Bouchard, in her first ever Grand Slam final. The players

:04:49. > :04:55.arriving here this morning and Petra Kvitova, the fourth Czech woman to

:04:56. > :05:00.reach the Wimbledon final, more than once reaching Martina Navratilova

:05:01. > :05:06.and Novatna and with a big left-handed serve. Kvitova has been

:05:07. > :05:13.here before. This young lady has not. 14 months ago she hadn't even

:05:14. > :05:17.played in a main draw. Here in her first final and she's yet to drop a

:05:18. > :05:21.set. This is the weather, not as nice as it has been on previous

:05:22. > :05:24.days. It's been cloudy. We've had some showers here this morning. At

:05:25. > :05:29.the moment, the roof is closed on Centre Court. So, we are sure that

:05:30. > :05:35.play will get under way by 2pm. Hopefully, with the roof open,

:05:36. > :05:40.because it is supposed to be an open tournament. That is it, the final,

:05:41. > :05:43.we're looking forward to, Bouchard against Kvitova. Maybe not the one

:05:44. > :05:47.we would have predicted but an interesting one indeed. I'm

:05:48. > :05:59.delighted to say that here on Centre Court with the two greatest ever

:06:00. > :06:03.Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova. Isn't it lovely. What do you think

:06:04. > :06:07.of the roof? My indoor record was not as good as Martina's. I think

:06:08. > :06:10.she would have loved to have played. I would have loved the roof. Chris

:06:11. > :06:13.would have hated it. I like the wind and the sun and I like the way that

:06:14. > :06:21.it sometimes bothered you. I'd be happy with the outdoors. She never

:06:22. > :06:26.bothered me. It's good to see the rivalry continues herement We're

:06:27. > :06:29.really competitive now. How many finals did you play here? I don't

:06:30. > :06:33.know. I've been in the finals nine times and won it three times. That

:06:34. > :06:38.percentage isn't that great. She won it nine times which is phenomenal.

:06:39. > :06:42.How was it for the players here, getting ready for the final? It's a

:06:43. > :06:48.very different day, isn't it? Yeah. It's more nervy. For sure. This

:06:49. > :06:50.court is the cathedral of tennis. It's unlike any other Centre Court.

:06:51. > :06:52.It's interesting, when we walk It's unlike any other Centre Court.

:06:53. > :06:55.It's interesting, when down the stairs and saw the names of the

:06:56. > :06:58.former champions, we saw the trophy, I mean, it's like you don't do that.

:06:59. > :07:02.You don't see that at any other Grand Slam. You try to treat every

:07:03. > :07:06.match the same, once you get to the finals here, it's a whole different

:07:07. > :07:09.ball game. You just remember all the hard work you put in and try to

:07:10. > :07:14.remember to get the racquet out of the bag, when you walk on the court

:07:15. > :07:17.and play good tennis. Eugenie Bouchard is so composed. She says,

:07:18. > :07:22.this isn't affecting me at all. It's got to be. It will. How she handles

:07:23. > :07:25.it is the question. But she will have the butterflies. They'll be

:07:26. > :07:30.fluttering. It will be different, walking out for a finals is

:07:31. > :07:34.different than for a semifinal. Whether that manifests itself in

:07:35. > :07:39.more errors or not moving her feet, we'll wait and see. First time here,

:07:40. > :07:42.she's not feeling any pressure that way. She has nothing to prove. It's

:07:43. > :07:47.a bonus that she's in the final. People don't expect the person, when

:07:48. > :07:51.they get to the final first time, to win. The pressure is off that way.

:07:52. > :07:54.But still have you so many opportunities and so we'll see how

:07:55. > :07:59.she handles it. Everybody feels the pressure, it's how you handle it.

:08:00. > :07:59.Let's hear from the two finalists starting with Eugenie Bouchard.

:08:00. > :08:03.Let's hear from the two finalists starting She is the first aKayed Nan

:08:04. > :08:07.through to a grand -- Canadian through to a Grand Slam final and a

:08:08. > :08:10.wonderful player and certainly, really inspired to come out here.

:08:11. > :08:14.She's named after royalty and in fact she's going to be watched by

:08:15. > :08:20.royalty here today. Let's say hello to her. She is an instant hit.

:08:21. > :08:24.What would be your favourite song? Jeanie in a bottle. I always say

:08:25. > :08:32.that's my song. She sang it about me!

:08:33. > :08:36.# I'm a genie in a bottle... # It's been a great tournament so far,

:08:37. > :08:41.all along, you've been saying it's not a surprise, why's that? Because

:08:42. > :08:45.I believe in myself. I know that I've put in the hard work and it's

:08:46. > :08:50.been many years in the making. I don't feel like it's an overnight

:08:51. > :08:54.thing. I think some people are surprised by it, but for me, I

:08:55. > :09:01.expect myself to do well. This year has proved to me that I can play

:09:02. > :09:09.with the big girls and big moments, Centre Court, grand slams, are so

:09:10. > :09:17.amazing, such special moments. For some people who may not know, you're

:09:18. > :09:20.Genie and your twin sister Beatrice. The connection with the British

:09:21. > :09:26.Royal Family, just explain about that. Yeah, I like to joke. I think

:09:27. > :09:30.my mum is a closet royalist. # And we'll never be Royals... #

:09:31. > :09:34.We joke that she had a premonition that I would be at Wimbledon one day

:09:35. > :09:38.which she named us that. But it's really funny because everyone here

:09:39. > :09:45.loves the fact that I'm named after one of your princesses. It's my goal

:09:46. > :09:51.to meet her one day, I think. Jim Parsons has been here on television,

:09:52. > :09:57.he's a star of the Big Bang Theory, has he kept things light hearted,

:09:58. > :10:01.has that been good for you? It's been exciting to have Jim here. It's

:10:02. > :10:07.the first time he's watched me live. I hope he's been enjoying his stay

:10:08. > :10:10.at Wimbledon. Hanging out with superstars is nothing new for you. I

:10:11. > :10:16.think the best thing I've seen is the selfie with the Pope. That made

:10:17. > :10:20.me selfie famous. How did you do that? When did it come to your mind

:10:21. > :10:24.that you were going to have a selfie with the Popemobile in the

:10:25. > :10:28.background? Selfie is what our generation does. I was lucky enough

:10:29. > :10:32.to go to the Vatican when I was playing in Rome. We were told that

:10:33. > :10:36.he was going to drive by and we waited a long time. That was a lot

:10:37. > :10:39.of effort to get that one. We waited an hour while he was talking to

:10:40. > :10:44.other people. He drove by and was waving to us and I just pulled out

:10:45. > :10:47.my phone and I was like, I've got to time this right, Bam, took the

:10:48. > :10:51.perfect shot and I was just so excited. He's the Pope, you know. It

:10:52. > :10:55.was an amazing thing. You could perhaps trump that, if you won and

:10:56. > :10:59.took a selfie on Centre Court. That would be quite awesome. That would

:11:00. > :11:06.be amazing. But that Pope selfie I was like, I don't know if it's all

:11:07. > :11:16.downhill from here or what. There is the Royal Box. We have heard that

:11:17. > :11:22.Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie will be here. They will be watching.

:11:23. > :11:27.Have you been in the Royal Box, are you there today? I'm sitting there,

:11:28. > :11:34.yes. Very nice. While we're working. Chris is working,ive won't be. I'll

:11:35. > :11:36.be talking about you! Better say nice things, because you know

:11:37. > :11:46.there's video. Watch it later. I know. What about Eugenie she's

:11:47. > :11:50.taking it all in her stride She's mentally on the court very, very

:11:51. > :11:53.strong, very focussed, very poised. Everybody talks about the mental

:11:54. > :11:58.aspects of her game. She has the game to back it up. She has that

:11:59. > :12:01.power, that aggression. At nine years old she made the commitment.

:12:02. > :12:05.I'm going to be out there on Centre Court. I'm going to win Wimbledon

:12:06. > :12:09.and be number one. It's a long-term prospect that she had a long-term

:12:10. > :12:14.goal and made it happen. It wasn't about what I am ranked as a junior,

:12:15. > :12:18.ten and under or 12 and under, she was thinking winning here. There's

:12:19. > :12:21.too much emphasis put on the early rankings of people. Her coaches and

:12:22. > :12:26.she knew that was not the way. Look at her now. Everyone is comparing

:12:27. > :12:29.her to Maria Sharapova and possibly what she could make financially off

:12:30. > :12:33.the court as well. That's down to her, how much she wants to embrace

:12:34. > :12:38.that. I mean, she's definitely marketable. That's been proven. In

:12:39. > :12:45.Canada I think she's the most well known athlete there is. She's not

:12:46. > :12:50.bad to look at. She's a pretty girl. I think she will get a lot of

:12:51. > :12:53.endorsements. It's getting the balance right, though. At the same

:12:54. > :12:57.time, there's a lot more pressure on you too if you do achieve what you

:12:58. > :13:00.want to achieve. It will be a matter of how she manages it. She knows

:13:01. > :13:06.what she wants to do. She knows the more she wins, the more marketable

:13:07. > :13:11.she will be, all that stuff still will be there. She wants to be a

:13:12. > :13:15.tennis player. By the she looks, whatever she makes on the court, add

:13:16. > :13:19.a zero to that off the court. That's what Maria says, no matter how much

:13:20. > :13:24.money I make, the most important thing is to win matches. I think she

:13:25. > :13:28.feels the same. They are great competitors. I mention today was 14

:13:29. > :13:33.months ago she played her first main draw in the sland gram. That's Two

:13:34. > :13:36.years funny. Ago she won the junior event. It's unbelievable the rise up

:13:37. > :13:40.the rankings. Everyone is saying, this is when she's winning the

:13:41. > :13:44.junior event, how she would be a champion in the future. I don't

:13:45. > :13:49.think anyone expected it to happen - she may not win it today - but could

:13:50. > :13:55.win in a couple of years. She was one of a pack a couple of years ago.

:13:56. > :13:58.There were a number of juniors. She didn't stick out at all at that

:13:59. > :14:02.time. It's just been the last six months, two semifinals at grand

:14:03. > :14:08.slams, it's unbelievable. She's doing well on the big stage. She's

:14:09. > :14:12.proved she can play on all Her game surfaces. Transfers to any surface.

:14:13. > :14:15.She's aggressive with her body position. She's looking to come in.

:14:16. > :14:19.She takes time away from the opponents and that's good on any

:14:20. > :14:23.surface, particularly on grass. Her game transfers to anything. You

:14:24. > :14:26.can't say she would be best on grass or clay, it's going to be good for

:14:27. > :14:31.anything. I know we have to let you go, because you have to go and work

:14:32. > :14:35.for American TV. I miss BBC. We miss having you! Can I tell you, I was

:14:36. > :14:38.thrilled that I was around in an era that featured you two. We were

:14:39. > :14:46.thrilled that you were there too. I didn't mean that! That's a little

:14:47. > :14:51.sarcasm. O ops, whose blushing now. Her neck's all red. Put some make up

:14:52. > :14:56.on that, thank you. Thank you very much.

:14:57. > :15:01.She was on the practice court earlier today preparing for today's

:15:02. > :15:08.final and we sent Cat to keep an eye on her and meet up with the fed cup

:15:09. > :15:14.captain for Canada. You must know Eugenie very well.

:15:15. > :15:18.She's a fierce competitor. She loves the pressure, the challenges. She

:15:19. > :15:23.rises to the occasions, business stages, like finals, all that, like,

:15:24. > :15:26.she enjoys that all the time. And you've known her since she was very

:15:27. > :15:30.young as well. Have you always known that she had something special in

:15:31. > :15:35.her game and in her personality as Yeah, from well? The very first few

:15:36. > :15:39.times when I met her, national training camps, she was ten or 11

:15:40. > :15:43.then and her ability to tact information and process the

:15:44. > :15:46.information, put it and practice right away, it was very unique. It

:15:47. > :15:50.was very different to girls her age. She's very special in that regard.

:15:51. > :15:55.Do you think she has what it takes to win the final today? She seems so

:15:56. > :15:59.determined and so focussed? Absolutely, she does. She has got

:16:00. > :16:07.the game. She plays really well on grass, any surface actually. She has

:16:08. > :16:11.the mental skills. Obviously, she's got a great competitor against her

:16:12. > :16:15.in Petra Kvitova, but I think she has got what it In Canada takes. , I

:16:16. > :16:19.imagine her stars are also on the rise. She's very well known in

:16:20. > :16:24.Canada. She was named athlete of the year last year. Her performance this

:16:25. > :16:26.year in Australia, Paris and now Wimbledon, she's front page of every

:16:27. > :16:31.newspaper, like everywhere and she's the talk of the country. And what

:16:32. > :16:35.kind of impact on Canadian tennis has her success had in the country?

:16:36. > :16:39.She's going to have a major impact. Already we see participation in

:16:40. > :16:41.summer tennis camps grow. I think like, young girls will watch her on

:16:42. > :16:44.TV, like, young girls will watch her on

:16:45. > :16:48.watch her play, as she watched Maria Sharapova ten years ago, and say, I

:16:49. > :16:53.want to play tennis and be good at it, pick up the racquet and who

:16:54. > :16:56.knows what happens next. We have let one champion go and we have another

:16:57. > :16:59.champion here, Lindsay, welcome. We've been talking and hearing about

:17:00. > :17:04.Eugenie Bouchard, just how impressed have you been with her? Oh, it's

:17:05. > :17:07.impossible not to watch her play and not be impressed, in the style of

:17:08. > :17:12.game she plays, but everyone talks about her poise, her confidence and

:17:13. > :17:15.everything she believes in when she's on the court. She looks like

:17:16. > :17:20.she's done this before. Everyone has the compare sons to Shaar here ten

:17:21. > :17:25.years ago, but they're accurate. She looks like this is what she's born

:17:26. > :17:30.to do. I would would be -- I would be very doubtful we will get a

:17:31. > :17:33.repeat of last year, when Sabine Lisicki was completely overwhelmed.

:17:34. > :17:36.You don't get the case that Bouchard will let that happen to her. We've

:17:37. > :17:42.seen her in the French Open semifinal, she's been in Grand Slam

:17:43. > :17:46.semis and played so well. As Chrissie said finals are different

:17:47. > :17:49.than semifinals, but she looks like she belongs here. She expected to be

:17:50. > :17:53.here. It's not a surprise. It's a result of many years of work. She's

:17:54. > :17:56.not going to - if anything, she will play better than she has been. Such

:17:57. > :18:00.a great opportunity, no pressure, everything to win and here you are.

:18:01. > :18:05.Everything that you worked for. I expect her to play well and I think

:18:06. > :18:08.it will be a close match. We certainly hope so. Now let's hear

:18:09. > :18:10.from Petra Kvitova, she won the title in 2011 and she's looking to

:18:11. > :18:25.win it again. When you were a little girl, tell me

:18:26. > :18:31.about the ultimate dream for you? Probably I was a little bit, I

:18:32. > :18:35.didn't have the motivation for it. I just played tennis because I liked.

:18:36. > :18:39.It I played for fun with my father. I never think I could be really

:18:40. > :18:43.professional tennis player. Suddenly I'm here, going to play my

:18:44. > :18:46.second final and it's something really special for me. It seems like

:18:47. > :19:01.a dream for me. COMMENTATOR: Petra Kvitova is the

:19:02. > :19:06.Wimbledon champion. I wonder if you can compare and

:19:07. > :19:11.contrast the emotions of this experience with the first time

:19:12. > :19:15.around. This journey, for me, was more difficult I can say because

:19:16. > :19:19.2011, I wasn't really favourite of the matches that I played, compared

:19:20. > :19:23.to this year, I mean, every time I step on the court here, I was

:19:24. > :19:27.favoured in the match. It's never easy. People thought you might go on

:19:28. > :19:32.to dominate here for years to come and it didn't go quite according to

:19:33. > :19:39.plan, because maybe injury, illness, that kind of thing. How satisfying

:19:40. > :19:44.is it to reach it again? I won the Grand Slam quite young. Everything

:19:45. > :19:48.changed in my life. It's not easy. I think I really didn't know what I

:19:49. > :19:52.can expect from myself. I just played and I really didn't care

:19:53. > :19:55.about anything. But of course this year, it's different. I know how it

:19:56. > :20:03.feels and everything. I know what I'm going to do there. I think it's

:20:04. > :20:06.satisfying for me and definitely I will do everything, what I can, to

:20:07. > :20:14.win the second title. COMMENTATOR: How about that?

:20:15. > :20:21.Her situation could not be brighter. When I was younger, everybody was

:20:22. > :20:29.talking to me that I'm too nice to play tennis. But when I am stepping

:20:30. > :20:35.on the court, I'm not nice. COMMENTATOR: That's a Primaeval

:20:36. > :20:39.roar. I really wanted to win and of course, in a fair play way, but

:20:40. > :20:43.still I want to be the winner at the end of the match.

:20:44. > :20:49.COMMENTATOR: Petra Kvitova takes her place once again in the Wimbledon

:20:50. > :20:55.final. She's drinking in the moment. I love to play here, on the grass,

:20:56. > :20:59.at Wimbledon. It's what tennis makes special and for me, it's very

:21:00. > :21:05.important tournament. I really feel like at home here. I just go there

:21:06. > :21:11.and do the best. That's important, the fact that she feels home here.

:21:12. > :21:15.Well, she's earned that right. I think for her, she won here one year

:21:16. > :21:23.too early. Her rise was meet York. Out of in our -- meteoric, out of

:21:24. > :21:28.nowhere she rose. Now she's really come into her own and she's clearly

:21:29. > :21:31.able to handle the mantle of a It's strange, champion. Hearing from her

:21:32. > :21:35.how she didn't deal with everything that came with being a Grand Slam

:21:36. > :21:39.It's a champion. Life changer. Even though you play tennis your whole

:21:40. > :21:42.life and this is what you want, there's sometimes where it's

:21:43. > :21:46.overwhelming. You're not accustomed to what comes with winning a Grand

:21:47. > :21:49.Slam. Certainly in the Czech Republic for Petra, things changed

:21:50. > :21:53.drastically for her. It's great to see her come back mature and feel

:21:54. > :21:56.like she can handle the moment now and she looks to me like she

:21:57. > :22:01.actually wants it more now than she did three years ago, because she

:22:02. > :22:06.knows what a great feeling it is She's very fired up. I think her

:22:07. > :22:11.screams are louder this year. She said people thought she was too nice

:22:12. > :22:14.to play tennis. This goes for Lindsay Davenport. She's a very nice

:22:15. > :22:17.person and you can still be a champion. Yes, you can do both. It's

:22:18. > :22:23.great to be a part of this whole group here. Beating Maria Sharapova

:22:24. > :22:26.in the final as well was something. What sort of reaction is there in

:22:27. > :22:31.the Czech Republic. We see what happens here in Britain with Murray.

:22:32. > :22:40.Tennis has had a big tradition in Czech Republic. We've had champions,

:22:41. > :22:45.so, people expect it almost. But again, Petra kind of surprised

:22:46. > :22:48.people, including herself. She became a huge star. She's such a shy

:22:49. > :22:52.person, it was really hard to handle. I can totally relate what

:22:53. > :22:56.she went through. I'm glad that she's able to deal with it much

:22:57. > :22:59.better now. And also, dealing with the nerves and everything. She's

:23:00. > :23:04.been really playing well here this week, only dropped a set, one set,

:23:05. > :23:07.to Venus Williams, and that was a cracking match. That was the game

:23:08. > :23:12.changer for Kvitova in this tournament. When she got that match

:23:13. > :23:16.under her belt, she hasn't looked back. What I have loved watching her

:23:17. > :23:19.this year is she hasn't gone a walk about, where she loses a set with a

:23:20. > :23:24.lot of unforces errors, losing concentration. Her team has gotten

:23:25. > :23:28.her in a great mind, mentally. She looks focussed every set she plays.

:23:29. > :23:31.That's so important. She hasn't wasted a lot of energy. She hasn't

:23:32. > :23:36.gone through these long three-set battles that mentally drains you.

:23:37. > :23:39.This is the best she's played, I think, since three years ago here.

:23:40. > :23:44.You had a great serve, how do you rate her serve? I was just saying

:23:45. > :23:49.when we saw the replay how high she jumps. She really gets off the

:23:50. > :23:52.ground, full extension, so she's tall any way, the ball is coming in

:23:53. > :23:56.at a different angle. Because she's hitting from so high, she can hit it

:23:57. > :23:59.hard and get a high percentage first serve in. It's one of the best

:24:00. > :24:03.weapons in the game. We will show you a few serves. You're right. But

:24:04. > :24:08.the placement as well. She hits every corner. She has her favourite

:24:09. > :24:10.serves no. She's not afraid to go for the other ones. Bouchard

:24:11. > :24:14.throughout the tournament has been able to return inside the baseline.

:24:15. > :24:17.This will be the biggest serve she's faced. We will see how effective she

:24:18. > :24:21.can be. She doesn't give herself a lot of time, Bouchard. Kvitova hits

:24:22. > :24:25.a heavy serve to the corners. It will be key to see if Bouchard can

:24:26. > :24:29.time the return as well as she has the whole tournament. She has a good

:24:30. > :24:33.all-court game, too. She has not missed a volley apparently, when she

:24:34. > :24:37.comes to the net she's outstanding. I would like to see her come in a

:24:38. > :24:40.little more. Because she has such big ground strokes, she's natural at

:24:41. > :24:45.the net. She looks to come in. She has a great volley, soft hands.

:24:46. > :24:48.Better volleyer than Bouchard at this stage and better power when

:24:49. > :24:52.she's out wide. That might make the difference in the match. Bouchard is

:24:53. > :24:55.great when she's set for the shot moving forward, when she's stretched

:24:56. > :25:00.out she doesn't generate that much power, yet. Whereas Kvitova can hit

:25:01. > :25:04.a winner on a full stretch and hit the cover off the ball. How

:25:05. > :25:10.important is it that she has been in a Wimbledon final and won? That

:25:11. > :25:15.should give her - erm...... Calm her nerves a bit. Three years ago, I was

:25:16. > :25:19.so impressed how she came out for her first Grand Slam final and

:25:20. > :25:24.dismantled Shaar, who was the favourite. I think for both of them,

:25:25. > :25:27.they will handle the memento Kay. Receipt has a little more

:25:28. > :25:37.experience, but I think that's pretty even, yeah. It's interesting,

:25:38. > :25:43.I was looking at titles won, saves her best again for this surface. To

:25:44. > :25:47.be a two-time Wimbledon champion is not a fluke. This would cement her

:25:48. > :25:52.career and she's automatic Hall of Famer. Yaup, there is pressure that

:25:53. > :25:57.way. Still Yeah, there is pressure that way. If she stays healthy, this

:25:58. > :26:02.is not the last opportunity. The pressure is off that way. Both they

:26:03. > :26:08.definitely want the title. I know we have to let you go, because you have

:26:09. > :26:12.lunch waiting, I know. You don't want to get between me and my food.

:26:13. > :26:16.Definitely not! Are you going to stay loyal to the Czech Republic?

:26:17. > :26:21.I'm pulling for Petra. I know her. But Eugenie will be a great champion

:26:22. > :26:24.as well. They're both great role models already for the generation

:26:25. > :26:29.coming up. I will be happy for either one. The Czech roots are

:26:30. > :26:34.pretty strong. Which do you think will win? I think Petra, slight

:26:35. > :26:38.edge, because of her power. Maybe this tournament comes two months too

:26:39. > :26:42.early for Eugenie Bouchard, who is proving all the time. Next year,

:26:43. > :26:47.different story perhaps. Slight edge to Petra. Whoever can handle the

:26:48. > :26:50.nerves better will win this one. Martina, enjoy your day. We are

:26:51. > :26:54.looking forward to this final. It is a fascinating final. Probably not

:26:55. > :26:58.the final that we would expected because there's been so many updebts

:26:59. > :27:00.sewering the turn -- upsets during the tournament. Let's look back over

:27:01. > :27:13.the past two weeks. Everything seemed in order. Serena

:27:14. > :27:21.started strongly. COMMENTATOR: A successful start to

:27:22. > :27:27.her 15th Wimbledon campaign. Sharapova volumed through.

:27:28. > :27:31.-- rolled through. The seeds were soon blown away as new faces

:27:32. > :27:35.emerged. COMMENTATOR: It was a good

:27:36. > :27:41.performance from the young Canadian. This is a girl we're going to see a

:27:42. > :27:50.lot more of in the future. Serena got toppled. And then she

:27:51. > :27:54.wobbled. COMMENTATOR: The lady out there is

:27:55. > :27:57.clearly not healthy. Venus waved goodbye.

:27:58. > :28:01.COMMENTATOR: Two former queens of Wimbledon, there can only be one

:28:02. > :28:06.winner though. How many more times we will see Venus grace this special

:28:07. > :28:10.court. And Sharapova stayed, but only to watch. The Czechs were

:28:11. > :28:16.bouncing. COMMENTATOR: It's Petra Kvitova who

:28:17. > :28:23.takes her place in the Wimbledon final. Halep got hurt.

:28:24. > :28:28.COMMENTATOR: Looks like she turned it. As Princess Eugenie took one

:28:29. > :28:32.step closer to the throne. COMMENTATOR: This so driven,

:28:33. > :28:39.ambitious young woman is in her first major final. Could it be

:28:40. > :28:51.Canada's year? Canada? Canada? Canada? We really have seen the rise

:28:52. > :28:56.of a new generation. Phil Jones is with Virginia Wade and Tracy Austin

:28:57. > :29:02.to get their thoughts. Great to see you on ladies finals

:29:03. > :29:06.day. Before we get to the final itself, a quick talk on the last two

:29:07. > :29:11.weeks, really the headline story in more ways than one, Serena Williams

:29:12. > :29:16.losing in the singles and then that bizarre story we saw of her in the

:29:17. > :29:19.doubles. Yeah, very much a surprise, because Serena was my favourite

:29:20. > :29:24.coming in. She hadn't done well in the other two slams so I figured she

:29:25. > :29:29.would be really hungry here. She lost early. Maria Sharapova the

:29:30. > :29:33.other contender. She lost early as well. When Serena played that

:29:34. > :29:37.doubles and that was the strangest 15 minutes I've ever seen on the

:29:38. > :29:43.tennis court. Now we have new talent. It's exciting, so many young

:29:44. > :29:46.ladies are on the rise. Virginia, your reflections on the

:29:47. > :29:50.championship, touch on Sharapova going out and Serena going out. It

:29:51. > :29:54.allowed the new generation to come through, Simona Halep and Eugenie

:29:55. > :29:58.Bouchard. Simona Halep I have so much time for. I just love the way

:29:59. > :30:01.she plays. She's so coordinated. She moves so well. I'm sure she's going

:30:02. > :30:05.to win something. It is tough for her, because she's not as tall as

:30:06. > :30:14.some of the really tall, big hitters. But she is excellent and

:30:15. > :30:18.you know, we had LiNa, and she just didn't look good from the first

:30:19. > :30:22.match she played. She went, I'm not sure what she's feeling about life

:30:23. > :30:27.in general, because it's been a tough few tournaments for her.

:30:28. > :30:31.Sharapova, you know, I did have a feeling that having won the French

:30:32. > :30:35.last year and having not succeeded this year, that she might have got

:30:36. > :30:41.the mix a little bit better. But beaten on a good day by Kerber. So,

:30:42. > :30:44.it's been really very fascinating because it started at the French

:30:45. > :30:48.with all this new wave of brilliant young players and I've heard so many

:30:49. > :30:51.people say how excited throw about today's match.

:30:52. > :30:58.We are all excited and the excitement is largely because of

:30:59. > :31:03.Eugenie Bouchard. Only the junior champion a couple of years ago? This

:31:04. > :31:11.is her sixth Grand Slam title that she has ever played. She has won one

:31:12. > :31:16.WTA event and that was in May. She's come from nowhere - well not

:31:17. > :31:21.nowhere, she was in two other semifinals. To be the Wimbledon

:31:22. > :31:27.Champion this quickly, a lot of us thought she would be a future

:31:28. > :31:34.champion, but not this early. She's played so much better with each

:31:35. > :31:40.match that she has played. She beat Petkovic, Kerber and Cornet. She has

:31:41. > :31:45.had to play tough matches. She beat Halep in the semis. She is a driven

:31:46. > :31:49.young lady and she is mentally tough. That is what I look for from

:31:50. > :31:53.someone making that transition from the juniors to the pros. Most of the

:31:54. > :31:58.big points she has been able to win this tournament. She was down 4-2

:31:59. > :32:05.against Halep in the first set and she was able to elevate her game and

:32:06. > :32:12.she believes going out there today. We talk of Kvitova. Will it help her

:32:13. > :32:16.that she has been here before? She said not knowing what she had to do

:32:17. > :32:21.last time against Sharapova may have helped her. And knowing what is

:32:22. > :32:25.coming might be a hindrance? We were all hoping that Kvitova would keep

:32:26. > :32:34.going. She was brilliant that time. I have seen her play superb tennis

:32:35. > :32:39.so many times. We all know it is tough to hold that pressure when you

:32:40. > :32:50.win a bit early. And it took her a lot of time to get herself really

:32:51. > :32:53.fit and try to rein in that magnificent forehand that she has.

:32:54. > :32:58.It's been terrific this tournament. She has a real chance. I am leaning

:32:59. > :33:04.towards Bouchard if it goes to a long-term match. I think if Kvitova

:33:05. > :33:12.can get off to a good start, her experience... You never know with

:33:13. > :33:17.her. We know on her best day, she can beat anybody. On her worst day,

:33:18. > :33:21.she really struggles. I give consistency to Bouchard. It will be

:33:22. > :33:23.fascinating. We look forward to it. Thank you very much. Enjoy the

:33:24. > :33:31.occasion. SUE BARKER: We are all looking

:33:32. > :33:35.forward to the occasion. The rain has cleared away and the tournament

:33:36. > :33:42.referee has decided to open the roof. He wants it to be an open

:33:43. > :33:45.tournament. We have heard that there is a potential shower or two

:33:46. > :33:50.throughout the afternoon. So, it is that sort of day. So a very

:33:51. > :33:55.enjoyable tournament so far. We are less than ten minutes away from the

:33:56. > :34:24.Ladies' Wimbledon Final. So, where will today's final be won?

:34:25. > :34:29.Sam Smith has been looking at the key battles coming up this

:34:30. > :34:33.afternoon. Petra Kvitova and Eugenie Bouchard are in the Ladies' Final

:34:34. > :34:38.because they have been the two most aggressive players in the draw. Both

:34:39. > :34:42.players have been playing right up on their baseline. Bouchard 94% on

:34:43. > :34:48.the baseline or inside the court. Kvitova 91%. Look at where Kvitova

:34:49. > :34:52.has been returning serve. That looks fairly aggressive, inside the

:34:53. > :34:56.baseline for the second serve and she has been devastating on that

:34:57. > :34:59.return. This is a whole new ball game from Eugenie Bouchard. That is

:35:00. > :35:03.outstanding numbers. Will she be able to do that today? She did it

:35:04. > :35:07.against Simona Halep in the semifinal. It was such a key part of

:35:08. > :35:13.the match, so much aggression on return. But this is one of the best

:35:14. > :35:18.serves in the game and it is a lefty serve. That will be swinging way,

:35:19. > :35:22.way out in the ad court. This is the zone that Bouchard is going to have

:35:23. > :35:26.to concentrate on and try and do something to defend on that return.

:35:27. > :35:31.Whether she can do that will be such a key moment and key point in this

:35:32. > :35:35.match. Look at the swing on that, almost three-metres. You will see

:35:36. > :35:40.that serve time and time again from Petra Kvitova. So this is what Lucie

:35:41. > :35:44.Safarova saw in the semifinal. She couldn't get near it. But Bouchard

:35:45. > :35:49.has already played a lefty in Angelique Kerber and she was very

:35:50. > :35:52.good at cutting across the court and doing something with those returns.

:35:53. > :35:57.Will she be able to handle the Kvitova serve and hold her ground on

:35:58. > :36:05.the baseline? Very interesting, indeed. Lindsay is here. As we

:36:06. > :36:12.walked back here, you had a talk to the ground staff and Mac is here -

:36:13. > :36:24.welcome. You ready for this? Oh no! Serious? You cannot be serious! I'm

:36:25. > :36:33.excited. You owe me a dollar! Lindsay, what did the ground staff

:36:34. > :36:35.say to you? They are making the best efforts to open but rain is expected

:36:36. > :36:38.in the next 30 minutes, so it looks like - I don't know if they will sit

:36:39. > :36:42.out a rain delay for the final. Or if they will immediately close the

:36:43. > :36:46.roof. In this match-up, it is a game changer. If it goes indoors, the

:36:47. > :36:52.odds go in Kvitova's favour more. She is the best indoor player on the

:36:53. > :36:54.WTA Tour. She loves the ball in her strike zone when she doesn't have to

:36:55. > :37:00.deal with the elements. The weather and the rain - this could impact the

:37:01. > :37:04.final, the roof. And also affect the nerves as well, Eugenie's first

:37:05. > :37:10.final. The last thing she will want is to walk out, have a warm up and

:37:11. > :37:16.walk off again? Three years ago, Kvitova seemed to do pretty well

:37:17. > :37:24.with the nerves. You can't assume that the first set's gone because

:37:25. > :37:28.it's an overwhelming experience. It seems like Eugenie is ready for

:37:29. > :37:33.this. Maybe you are right. It helps Kvitova indoors. I am pulling for

:37:34. > :37:40.her. Even though before the event I picked Bouchard to win, it would be

:37:41. > :37:45.fantastic. It sounds awesome, the crowd are so into. I don't think

:37:46. > :37:50.Bouchard would complain if it was indoors and TV, 2.00pm, we have to

:37:51. > :37:58.get this match going! We do. We were talking about how Kvitova has the

:37:59. > :38:02.big lefty serve. Bouchard takes the returns so early? She's played a

:38:03. > :38:07.lefty so far in Angelique Kerber, but two different serves. Kvitova is

:38:08. > :38:09.a lefty but she is the heaviest serve that Bouchard will have to

:38:10. > :38:14.return against so far in this tournament. The timing will be key

:38:15. > :38:20.with Bouchard. Much easier to return like that against a serve coming

:38:21. > :38:25.between 75mph and 95mph. Kvitova is able to up the ante to 115mph. We

:38:26. > :38:30.will see if Bouchard is able to hold her ground then. She has such

:38:31. > :38:38.beautiful timing, hasn't she? Absolutely - you talking about

:38:39. > :38:43.Kvitova? No, Bouchard. Very similar in my book, but she does have great

:38:44. > :38:48.timing. She takes it so early. She sees it so early. That is the key

:38:49. > :38:52.thing. I remember playing Agassi and he knew where I was serving and he

:38:53. > :38:58.would crush you. I wonder if she will make that move on the ad court,

:38:59. > :39:03.take a step or so, a half step back, would that be giving in? I don't

:39:04. > :39:06.think so. A step to her left to force Kvitova go up the middle of

:39:07. > :39:10.the court. We will see what happens. This will be - this is going to be a

:39:11. > :39:15.very interesting match. I can't wait. And also Kvitova has the big

:39:16. > :39:18.weapon, she has the big serve. If that is firing today, there will be

:39:19. > :39:22.so many free points? Absolutely. She has the big return as well. It is

:39:23. > :39:25.not like you get a reprieve when you play Kvitova on your own service

:39:26. > :39:31.game because she is ultra aggressive. She plays better when

:39:32. > :39:35.she is able to hold her serve. We always talk about the beginning of a

:39:36. > :39:40.match being a factor. It is a factor. If Bouchard can time her

:39:41. > :39:47.returns well early on, it gives her more confidence. I hear this all the

:39:48. > :39:52.time. You two can answer this. The lefty has the edge on the ad court -

:39:53. > :39:58.OK with the spin. The righty, she is playing a lefty, she has the edge on

:39:59. > :40:04.the deuce court. If you got ahead, before you got behind, wouldn't that

:40:05. > :40:10.be an advantage? If you are up 15-0, or... There's so few of you! You

:40:11. > :40:13.only meet one every now and again. We wanted you banned!

:40:14. > :40:25.I love that(!) Kvitova is the highest-ranked lefty in the women's

:40:26. > :40:33.game. We had a few in this tournament play well - Safarova and

:40:34. > :40:37.Kerber - but none like Kvitova. She will use spin, use the shape she can

:40:38. > :40:41.get on to the ball and the same thing with her swinging, lefty

:40:42. > :40:46.forehand, she uses the angles of the court well. I don't see her going

:40:47. > :40:52.big on her serve that often. I would test her and make her go up the

:40:53. > :40:57.middle of the court. I think that would be - what's - you know this,

:40:58. > :41:01.Sue, what is the hardest serve that Kvitova has hit in this event? I

:41:02. > :41:06.don't know that one. Someone will tell you in your ear in a second!

:41:07. > :41:15.Come on! They are not! OK, forget it! She should try to make her do

:41:16. > :41:24.it. I don't think she likes to hit it consistently hard. I don't think

:41:25. > :41:29.the hardest serve she has ever hit is over 112-115mph. I would cut off

:41:30. > :41:33.her best weapon. We will talk more in a moment. We are moments away

:41:34. > :41:40.from seeing the finalists. Earlier, we maeRd -- we heard from the

:41:41. > :41:46.reigning Wimbledon Champion. Now, let's hear from the greatest. Coming

:41:47. > :41:57.here is just like coming home to my tennis home. It's almost like it

:41:58. > :42:04.happened to somebody else. When they say "nine times" I go wow! I don't

:42:05. > :42:10.remember all the finals. The most special one for me was when my mum

:42:11. > :42:16.was here in '79. In '78 my family couldn't be here and the Duchess of

:42:17. > :42:20.Kent helped get my mum out of the country the following year and I

:42:21. > :42:25.can't believe I was able to play because there was so much emotion

:42:26. > :42:31.with that. You have this peace and quiet in the locker room and in the

:42:32. > :42:35.hallway and then boom! Then you are on the world stage. It takes an

:42:36. > :42:41.amazing amount of mental ability to get to this level. To me, the two

:42:42. > :42:46.players in the final, they are tough here. It is a matter of who can do

:42:47. > :42:49.it better, how they deal with the nerves and the pressure and

:42:50. > :42:51.everything else. But the person that's the most excited to be here

:42:52. > :43:02.usually wins. Martina knows what it is all about.

:43:03. > :43:08.It is a different walk from when Martina and Chrissie were playing in

:43:09. > :43:15.all their finals. The players are being led on to court, carrying

:43:16. > :43:21.their own bags. The men don't carry their own bags. You girls are tough!

:43:22. > :43:27.Absolutely. It is so beautiful in there and seeing the trophies and

:43:28. > :43:33.the Rudyard Kipling saying, it is a tradition here. And the honours

:43:34. > :43:37.board as well, to see those great names. The players love this, there

:43:38. > :43:44.is no doubt. This is awesome. You love this bit. I loved this. I

:43:45. > :43:50.remember when I stood here with you and Boris, he always found it nervy,

:43:51. > :43:53.but you thrived on this wait. I wouldn't want to know what my heart

:43:54. > :43:57.rate was at this time, but I still loved it. There is nothing more

:43:58. > :44:00.exhilarating than what these two young ladies are about to do, walk

:44:01. > :44:13.on the Centre Court of Wimbledon for a final. They have the flowers, so

:44:14. > :44:17.here they come. They are being invited on to the court by the

:44:18. > :44:28.tournament referee. Who will they give those flowers to, by the way?

:44:29. > :44:30.That young lady will be performing the coin toss. We will talk more

:44:31. > :44:51.about her in a moment. She is representing the European

:44:52. > :44:55.Association for the Advancement of Research of Lucodystrophies.

:44:56. > :45:02.Petra Kvitova knows what it is like to play the final and knows what it

:45:03. > :45:06.is like to win it. This is a new experience for Eugenie Bouchard. She

:45:07. > :45:08.has been in two Grand Slam semifinals but this is the big one,

:45:09. > :45:12.the one that she watched when she was a youngster. She watched Maria

:45:13. > :45:16.Sharapova winning here in 2004 and she said one day she wanted to come

:45:17. > :45:25.here and win. Will it be her day today? Let these two out on to the

:45:26. > :45:29.court. They bring them down early and then it is like... It is running

:45:30. > :46:09.to clockwork. Here they come. APPLAUSE I wonder what thoughts are

:46:10. > :46:18.going through Marion Bartoli's mind. There she is. Why did I retire(?)

:46:19. > :46:22.How do you see this match going? If you were Bouchard, how will you try

:46:23. > :46:26.to combat the weapons of Kvitova? Pretty much what I said as far as

:46:27. > :46:30.the serve goes. If she can take over the point, she moves better than

:46:31. > :46:36.Kvitova, so if she could possibly get Petra to be on her heels, she

:46:37. > :46:39.can dictate things. That is what she is going to try to do early. She

:46:40. > :46:47.won't change her game, she won't come out with a new game plan. She

:46:48. > :46:56.won't do what Marvin Hagler did against Sugar Ray Leonard and come

:46:57. > :47:03.out as a righty. Here we are for the coin toss. This young lady from

:47:04. > :47:07.Paris will be performing the coin toss. The sun is out. Very little

:47:08. > :47:12.wind as well. UMPIRE: If you need anything, let me

:47:13. > :47:50.know. Questions? All yours. UMPIRE: Your choice, Eugenie? Serve?

:47:51. > :47:57.SUE BARKER: Eugenie has elected to serve after winning the toss. That

:47:58. > :48:01.young lady has Leukodystrophy and she wanted to walk on to Centre

:48:02. > :48:15.Court today for the final. What a big moment for her. Look at how tall

:48:16. > :48:19.the players are. What are you saying(?) It's changed, the whole

:48:20. > :48:24.physicality of the women's game has changed? Absolutely. Kvitova

:48:25. > :48:27.realised that three years ago. She is fitter now than when she won the

:48:28. > :48:32.title three years ago. Bouchard is one of the fittest players that

:48:33. > :48:36.there is in women's tennis. With Kvitova, we have seen her throughout

:48:37. > :48:42.the tournament, particularly against Venus Williams, how she has the big

:48:43. > :48:44.serve and she follows it up with the big one-two. If Eugenie can take the

:48:45. > :48:49.ball earlier, it will be rushing Kvitova a little? The longer the

:48:50. > :48:54.point goes t better a chance she has of winning. The tough part is

:48:55. > :48:58.getting into a lot of these rallies. Kvitova won this and then seemed

:48:59. > :49:04.overwhelmed by everything. She couldn't seem to handle the fame and

:49:05. > :49:08.the expectations and she's backed off and she seems content to be six

:49:09. > :49:19.or ten in the world and making a great living. I am happy to report -

:49:20. > :49:26.she's figured it out now and she realises what it takes to win this -

:49:27. > :49:31.more importantly, she wants to be in this position. Thank you very much.

:49:32. > :49:37.Lindsay and Mac are on their way to the commentary box. What a final

:49:38. > :49:42.this promises to be. Let's join our main commentator, Mark Petchey.

:49:43. > :49:53.MARK PETCHEY: What a potential match in prospect for everybody as well.

:49:54. > :49:58.Kvitova is a veteran, and a former Wimbledon winner. She knows how to

:49:59. > :50:01.get it done on the hallowed turf here at the All England Club.

:50:02. > :50:07.Bouchard, although she has won more matches than anybody else in Grand

:50:08. > :50:13.Slams this year, this is the biggest step she has potentially ever tried

:50:14. > :50:23.to take. A closer look at the left-hander from the Czech Republic.

:50:24. > :50:37.6ft. Seeded eight. It's been a solid season for the

:50:38. > :50:40.player from the Czech Republic. Quarterfinalist at Wimbledon last

:50:41. > :50:45.year and there you can see her route through the draw. Just the one set

:50:46. > :50:51.lost against Venus Williams - what a match that was, a match that

:50:52. > :50:54.produced three break-points. Fantastic serving. There is a former

:50:55. > :50:59.champion that knows a thing or two about winning here as well, Martina

:51:00. > :51:06.Navratilova. She gave some apt advice to Kvitova prior to her win

:51:07. > :51:10.here back in 2011. She said, "Don't be too happy that you have made the

:51:11. > :51:14.final." Bouchard, who said she was happy after her loss in Australia to

:51:15. > :51:20.Li Na, but said she always expects more of herself. She continues to

:51:21. > :51:27.surprise everybody with her consistency in the majors.

:51:28. > :51:32.Semifinalist at Roland Garros this year. Hoping to take that final step

:51:33. > :51:37.that the two people sitting on the left of me in the commentary box

:51:38. > :51:41.have done in the past, Lindsay and John, welcome.

:51:42. > :51:46.JOHN MCENROE: It doesn't get any better than this. This is a really

:51:47. > :51:54.good match-up. I will be shocked if it wasn't close. Bouchard, I believe

:51:55. > :52:09.was around 66-ish in the world when she played here last year. She

:52:10. > :52:15.played a negative match against Navarro and she learnt a good lesson

:52:16. > :52:18.from that stage, as she is one of the fiercest competitors on the

:52:19. > :52:22.Tour. LINDSAY DAVENPORT: Kvitova has

:52:23. > :52:29.looked feisty throughout this tournament so far. It does show you,

:52:30. > :52:36.you saw her results and how close that match with Venus. What is she

:52:37. > :52:40.thinking right now? What could have been had she got through Petra

:52:41. > :52:44.Kvitova? She could be in this position. That might inspire her to

:52:45. > :52:51.get out there and play a bit longer. Kvitova, after a tough couple of

:52:52. > :52:56.years, with the type of ability that she has - I really thought when I

:52:57. > :52:59.watched that match three years ago, she will win five or six Slams for

:53:00. > :53:04.sure. She's yet to get the second one. The first chance after three

:53:05. > :53:11.years to get another notch in the belt. There had to be disappointment

:53:12. > :53:21.last year for Kvitova when she went out to Kirsten Flipkins in a

:53:22. > :53:25.wide-open section of the draw. Chris Evert looking on from the American

:53:26. > :53:32.television booth. Kvitova's coach talked about how disappointing that

:53:33. > :53:39.loss was, how hard to get over it it was. Chris Evert was in the final

:53:40. > :53:49.eight times. She said nine earlier! I should have known! Martina won

:53:50. > :53:55.this nine times. Roger Federer is going for his eighth title tomorrow,

:53:56. > :54:01.he is tied with Pete Sampras at the moment. There are some amazing

:54:02. > :54:05.records out there right now. Just through the tunnel to Paris, Rafa

:54:06. > :54:10.with nine titles at Roland Garros - quite extraordinary. This has been

:54:11. > :54:14.an extraordinary rise up the rankings, just her sixth Grand Slam

:54:15. > :54:19.and she is through to her first-ever Grand Slam final. She said if she

:54:20. > :54:24.didn't play tennis, she would love to be an air traffic controller. She

:54:25. > :54:28.hears it is a high-stress job and she loves those kind of situations.

:54:29. > :54:37.It doesn't get any more high-stress... The pay is better in

:54:38. > :54:44.tennis! Princess Eugenie is here, in the middle of your picture there.

:54:45. > :54:51.The chairman of the All England Club there. Eugenie's mum is very much a

:54:52. > :55:00.royalist. She would have liked blue blood in Eugenie's veins but it

:55:01. > :55:04.seems as if she has ice running through them. First set, Miss

:55:05. > :56:39.Bouchard to serve. Ready. Play. These two have come out firing,

:56:40. > :56:43.that's for sure. That is a good sign for Bouchard there, handling the

:56:44. > :57:23.pace, getting down low but, more importantly, dictating play herself.

:57:24. > :57:26.See where the height helps for Kvitova. That was a pretty good

:57:27. > :57:45.serve out wide. I was thinking going into the body

:57:46. > :57:50.will be big for both these two. That's what she did there to win the

:57:51. > :57:53.first game. That must feel like a good walk after you have held your

:57:54. > :57:57.first service game in a Wimbledon final? It is important to get on the

:57:58. > :58:02.board early and calm your nerves. We saw it last year with Lisicki. She

:58:03. > :58:08.was never able to produce her best tennis and the sooner you can start

:58:09. > :58:09.to play your best tennis, or good tennis, the quicker the nerves will

:58:10. > :58:34.exit your body. 39th ace of the tournament for

:58:35. > :58:52.Kvitova. That compares to 15 for Bouchard to this stage.

:58:53. > :58:58.That shot was absolutely perfect. Look where this ball lands. Right

:58:59. > :59:20.here. So far, Bouchard, three first

:59:21. > :59:23.serves, she has managed to get that return back into play, except the

:59:24. > :59:34.first point on the ace. So far, she is timing it pretty

:59:35. > :00:13.well. UMPIRE: Game, Miss Kvitova.

:00:14. > :00:19.That just equalled the hardest serve she's hit the entire tournament,

:00:20. > :01:03.112mph. Nice holds from both these two to get things started.

:01:04. > :01:20.she has to stay so low through the shot.

:01:21. > :01:25.I tell you one thing, these two aren't battling nerves, it doesn't

:01:26. > :02:36.appear. She crushed that return. It's unstoppable when she hits the

:02:37. > :02:39.ball like that. Absolutely magnificent ball

:02:40. > :02:44.striking, simple as that. Bouchard will have to do snog get it

:02:45. > :02:54.out of -- to do something to get it out of Kvitova's strike zone.

:02:55. > :03:50.You can hit that righty serve out right, you need to slice it more.

:03:51. > :04:01.Stun ning. Gorgeous hitting from Kvitova.

:04:02. > :04:08.It's a good sign for Kvitova that already she's timing the ball well.

:04:09. > :04:13.Both these players don't look like they're fighting a lot of nerves.

:04:14. > :04:18.More so than any player in women's tennis, has the ability to take the

:04:19. > :04:23.play out of her opponent's hand, besides maybe Serena. Kvitova --

:04:24. > :04:31.Bouchard has not experienced this kind of power yet this tournament.

:04:32. > :04:36.One of the best matches I've watched this year was her match against

:04:37. > :04:42.Venus. You got the sense in that one that there was a good run copping.

:04:43. > :04:47.-- coming. You've got to love it if you're in the Kvitova box,

:04:48. > :04:50.obviously. She battled hard because she wasn't hitting the ball,

:04:51. > :04:59.generally as clean as we're seeing right now. She had to dig deep

:05:00. > :05:03.mentally. It was the best I'd seen her compete in a long time. She is

:05:04. > :06:00.really looking sharp right now here. You notice that Eugenie Bouchard's

:06:01. > :06:41.left foot is outside in the doubles alley.

:06:42. > :06:46.So far Kvitova doing a nice job of mixing up her serves, not only the

:06:47. > :07:45.locations but the spin. That was brilliant from Bouchard.

:07:46. > :08:37.She knows what's coming. She's got to deal with that serve.

:08:38. > :08:42.Kvitova has to get ready quicker off her second serve. She knows Bouchard

:08:43. > :10:01.takes it early. If Petra Kvitova wins point like

:10:02. > :10:19.this, it's going to be a long day, maybe a short day, for Bouchard.

:10:20. > :10:28.The way she's going, I don't think she wants the roof closed.

:10:29. > :10:30.Luckily for Kvitova, it's not as gusty as yesterday. That affected

:10:31. > :10:49.the men a little bit more. If you're Bouchard, you just have to

:10:50. > :10:53.weather these storms. Kvitova has a reputation, a history of playing

:10:54. > :11:14.great and then playing not so great in the course of one match.

:11:15. > :11:57.She's flustered right now, Bouchard, with what she's seeing from Kvitova.

:11:58. > :12:29.Boy, this is getting away from Eugenie Bouchard in a hurry here.

:12:30. > :12:36.She's going to have to come up with shots as difficult as that to hang

:12:37. > :12:37.in here for a while. It's not the nerves, she's just getting

:12:38. > :12:55.outplayed. This would be big for Bouchard, if

:12:56. > :13:53.she's able to get out of this game. That is sensational.

:13:54. > :15:42.You can see how much harder Kvitova hits the ball than Bouchard.

:15:43. > :15:53.I guess we'll find out soon if Petra Kvitova is swinging for defences,

:15:54. > :15:58.that she'll have this ebb and flow that Lindsay discussed, that this is

:15:59. > :16:03.the plan or that she's playing within herself. Because if this

:16:04. > :16:09.isn't going for it, I don't know what is. She is just absolutely

:16:10. > :16:13.destroying the ball. Is there anything at this stage that you

:16:14. > :16:16.would say to Bouchard in terms of dropping back at all on the serve to

:16:17. > :16:20.give herself time? Or do you stick with what you do well? At this

:16:21. > :16:24.stage, it's a little bit of both. What she does so well is time the

:16:25. > :16:29.ball, taking them early, very tough to do that against Kvitova.

:16:30. > :16:32.Interesting stat, already Bouchard is actually winning more points on

:16:33. > :16:36.her second serve, that kick serve, that's up and out of Kvitova's

:16:37. > :16:40.strike zone. She hasn't found that timing yet. Bouchard, it should be a

:16:41. > :16:44.nice mix of trying to stay with her and go for her shots when she has

:16:45. > :16:46.time, but trying to get it out of her strike zone, a couple angles, a

:16:47. > :17:09.few slices, if she can, at times. I would take that step back, because

:17:10. > :17:10.it would be the same position against most other players. So it

:17:11. > :17:37.would feel the same. Zero hes nation Kvitova's game right

:17:38. > :18:53.now. -- hesitation.

:18:54. > :19:02.We've got the best seat in the house here for that shot. To find that

:19:03. > :19:07.angle too, to hit it completely flat. Bouchard, absolutely no

:19:08. > :19:11.chance. She's getting the return back into

:19:12. > :19:16.play, but three returns landed inside Kvitova's service box. Way

:19:17. > :19:28.too short. She hasn't gotten enough time yet.

:19:29. > :19:34.We've spent the tournament watching Bouchard dictate play, not reacting.

:19:35. > :19:36.Through the first six games, that's all she's been doing, reacting off

:19:37. > :20:03.the great shots of Kvitova. Easy to see why you thought she

:20:04. > :20:38.would win five or six majors after that first time. Absolutely.

:20:39. > :20:46.Feeling the pressure. She's going to be rocked back on her heels, once

:20:47. > :21:10.again, struck tolling hang onto her serve.

:21:11. > :21:18.I'm speechless how good this opening seven games have been from Kvitova.

:21:19. > :21:22.This is some of the best tennis you'll ever see on this court. The

:21:23. > :21:29.last match I ever played on this court, mixed doubles match, and in

:21:30. > :21:34.the quarter finals I played against Venus Williams. On my first serve,

:21:35. > :21:38.she stood inside the baseline. Thankfully, I had enough left on my

:21:39. > :21:44.serve that it actually preferred her to be there. Because I felt like I

:21:45. > :21:49.could twist her up with a body serve or had enough pace at the area that

:21:50. > :21:55.I look at Eugenie Bouchard about 110 and that I wanted to force it, she

:21:56. > :21:59.wanted to show me look, it doesn't matter how big you serve, I'm going

:22:00. > :22:03.to rip it any way. If she took a step or two back, I would have been

:22:04. > :22:08.more concerned, because she's got the great reach and range. That's

:22:09. > :22:13.why I think this girl, this young 24-year-old from the Czech Republic

:22:14. > :22:18.is playing so well, Bouchard, to me, needs to give herself that little

:22:19. > :22:25.bit of extra time. I think Kvitova prefers to see her at this point

:22:26. > :22:28.where she is. And she's got new balls now.

:22:29. > :23:51.27 minutes, this is incredible. That's one of the few points

:23:52. > :23:56.Bouchard has been able to get on top of the rally first.

:23:57. > :23:59.That's where Bouchard is most comfortable, playing offensive

:24:00. > :24:27.tennis. One of the first shots Kvitova has

:24:28. > :25:04.guided to the Bouchard backhand. Just the fifth time that Kvitova has

:25:05. > :25:10.been broken in the tournament. Incredibly only faced 17 break

:25:11. > :25:13.points as well, so far. Bouchard good enough to take the

:25:14. > :25:58.opportunity when it presented itself.

:25:59. > :26:05.Looks like she's going up the line and then, last second, she use

:26:06. > :26:20.that's right arm and wrist to pull it back crosscourt. (

:26:21. > :27:07.That shot is working today for Kvitova.

:27:08. > :28:22.I think it would have been onto Plan C, if that had gone in.

:28:23. > :28:30.SUE BARKER: Martina is happy and no wonder, such a strong start from

:28:31. > :28:34.Kvitova. The serve is powerful, as expected. She is dominating on the

:28:35. > :28:38.return as well. Every element of her game is so positive. She is

:28:39. > :28:42.dictating play and Bouchard is just trying to stay with her. The former

:28:43. > :28:46.champion is in control and just one set away from her second Wimbledon

:28:47. > :28:48.title. It's the ladies final today.

:28:49. > :29:22.Tomorrow, though, it's the men's. We'll begin our build up to the

:29:23. > :29:25.final at 1pm on BBC One. Back to today, though, and more sport

:29:26. > :29:29.elsewhere. The World Cup quarter finals continue. Today it's

:29:30. > :29:34.Argentina against Belgium. Hear that at 5pm on 5 Live. Then the

:29:35. > :29:41.Netherlands against Costa Rica on BBC One and on 5 Live. That's later

:29:42. > :29:44.on today, but back to this final and can Bouchard find a way into it?

:29:45. > :29:59.Back to our commentators. JOHN MCENROE: That is a weird look.

:30:00. > :30:03.MARK PETCHEY: That is a good look. I'm not sure we could pull that off.

:30:04. > :30:24.I wouldn't want to. MARK PETCHEY: If Eugenie Bouchard is

:30:25. > :30:42.going to win this, it is going to be a come from behind victory.

:30:43. > :30:51.JOHN MCENROE: Right now, she is feeling like Sharapova did three

:30:52. > :30:57.years ago when Kvitova beat her 6-3, 6-4. First set here, 6-3. She is

:30:58. > :31:32.dictating play. LINDSAY DAVENPORT: There has been no

:31:33. > :31:50.reprieve yet for Bouchard. Kvitova is all over Bouchard right now.

:31:51. > :31:58.Bouchard's game honed in Florida when she moved down there at the age

:31:59. > :32:04.of 12 to Nick Saviano. Kvitova had to play a lot of her tennis indoors

:32:05. > :32:13.because of the harsh conditions in the winter. The quick indoor courts

:32:14. > :32:17.- we talked about how the indoors would favour Kvitova. Bouchard might

:32:18. > :32:22.want some rain right now. Absolutely. To catch her breath.

:32:23. > :32:27.She played once with the roof shut against Cornet. They shut it at 3-2

:32:28. > :32:44.in the first set. I would like to see if she has a

:32:45. > :32:46.sliced serve into her arsenal to hit some body serves. The kick is not

:32:47. > :33:11.working for Bouchard. Now, she is stuck in between trying

:33:12. > :33:25.to make her first serve, and having to defend her second serve.

:33:26. > :34:19.She is getting punished time and time again.

:34:20. > :35:06.You could call that bad luck. You could say the nerves. This is just a

:35:07. > :35:12.pummelling. It seems like whatever court they play it on, Centre Court

:35:13. > :35:17.of Wimbledon, or some little tournament - they played in Toronto

:35:18. > :35:20.last year - not that little a tournament, apologies to the

:35:21. > :35:27.Canadians. Who are watching, it has to be said!

:35:28. > :35:34.Don't get mad at me, I played there 15 years in a row! You will be going

:35:35. > :35:43.back there to apologise as well. She's had that leg strap throughout

:35:44. > :35:45.the tournament, Kvitova. She had to pull out in the quarters at

:35:46. > :36:12.Eastbourne. Court positioning there fine if it's

:36:13. > :37:02.a second serve. What a display of tennis this has

:37:03. > :37:07.been. Bouchard tried to give that return everything. Still wasn't

:37:08. > :37:09.enough. Unfortunately didn't hit that one as clean as she would have

:37:10. > :38:21.liked. Bouchard able to get Kvitova up the

:38:22. > :38:40.line. Kvitova went back to the middle and left that line open.

:38:41. > :39:42.UMPIRE: Miss Kvitova leads 3-0 second set and by one set to love.

:39:43. > :39:50.She felt she was a bit frustrated. She got a loose forehand. And she

:39:51. > :39:54.follows it up with two great serves including the fastest serve of the

:39:55. > :40:00.tournament for her - 113mph up the middle. She hits the chalk. I mean,

:40:01. > :40:09.it is happening way too fast for Eugenie Bouchard at the moment. Now

:40:10. > :40:15.what? There's no opening here for Bouchard. She is struggling to hold

:40:16. > :40:20.because Kvitova has been returning so well. Kvitova has been able to

:40:21. > :40:24.get her returns deep in the court. And also, 75mph, it is coming so

:40:25. > :40:31.fast on Bouchard, she is not able to react and on the flipside, Kvitova

:40:32. > :40:34.on her service games, Bouchard is averaging 15mph less and she is not

:40:35. > :40:39.able to get them deep, they are falling inside the service line the

:40:40. > :40:43.majority of the time. That has been the strength of Bouchard's game,

:40:44. > :40:49.that great return. She has not been able to impose herself because of

:40:50. > :40:51.Kvitova's great serving. First serve percentage for Kvitova, for the

:40:52. > :42:35.match - 70%. She doesn't have the spring in her

:42:36. > :42:41.legs that we have seen during the event. This is where she really

:42:42. > :43:36.needs it. Even though I want to see a close

:43:37. > :43:43.match, I don't want to see this level drop because it's a pleasure

:43:44. > :43:46.to see. I hope Bouchard can get better. It doesn't seem likely at

:43:47. > :43:55.the moment. She is trying to force that first

:43:56. > :44:03.serve a bit this game. That is what is coming when she

:44:04. > :44:35.delivers her second. My goodness! I was all set to say

:44:36. > :44:38.that even - it reminded me of playing Pete Sampras, who I had a

:44:39. > :44:44.miserable time the few times we played. Even when you won games, you

:44:45. > :44:55.didn't feel you had a whole lot to do with it. Even then Bouchard is

:44:56. > :45:08.4-0 down. Kvitova - unbelievable shot-making! 49 minutes.

:45:09. > :45:17.It was a thing of beauty three years ago the way she came out in her

:45:18. > :45:22.first Grand Slam final, Kvitova, and upset Sharapova. This has been more

:45:23. > :45:51.impressive. She is playing some of the best tennis I have ever seen.

:45:52. > :45:58.Let's see - I got nine. I think I'm safe at the moment.

:45:59. > :46:33.To coin a phrase from the Americans - this has been awesome from

:46:34. > :46:53.Kvitova. Of course you want a competitive

:46:54. > :47:06.final. But we can also appreciate such a sensational solo performance.

:47:07. > :47:20.You mentioned a lot of the time, a good half the year at least they are

:47:21. > :47:25.playing indoors. Ivan Lendl, Martina, obviously, Kvitova - it is

:47:26. > :47:29.hard to think that she won't win three, four, five Wimbledons with

:47:30. > :47:32.what you see right now. A little thought, of course, for Bouchard on

:47:33. > :47:39.the other side of the net. So much hope, so much optimism coming out

:47:40. > :47:44.here for Bouchard. We see the champion from last year. She is only

:47:45. > :47:50.going to be called that for another five minutes or so.

:47:51. > :47:58.Bouchard, she comes from a good neighbourhood. It goes against all

:47:59. > :48:03.the common threads that people say you need to have it tough. She was

:48:04. > :48:07.in the same street as the former Canadian Prime Minister. I saw when

:48:08. > :48:16.I was doing a bit of research, he put his house on the market last

:48:17. > :48:19.year for $7 million. She is hungry for success, Bouchard. She wanted

:48:20. > :48:25.this title. But right now, she's been outclassed.

:48:26. > :49:38.Eugenie Bouchard is hoping to get to an hour right now!

:49:39. > :49:46.She should watch tapes of this the rest of her life. No matter what

:49:47. > :49:55.Bouchard tries, it doesn't seem to matter at all.

:49:56. > :50:08.That is the staple diet of her success - a big hit off the return

:50:09. > :50:33.of her opponent. You feel as though the engraver is

:50:34. > :50:35.just about to finish the "a" of Kvitova on the Venus Rosewater Dish.

:50:36. > :51:08.Championship point. UMPIRE: Game, set and match, Miss

:51:09. > :51:13.Kvitova. A second Wimbledon title. How many more will there potentially

:51:14. > :51:23.be? Absolutely outstanding from Petra Kvitova. And everybody

:51:24. > :51:29.upstanding, as they should be. Her parents, Jiri and Pavla, have flown

:51:30. > :51:44.in for this moment and Kvitova flew through this final. It is hard to

:51:45. > :51:49.put into words how good she was. A fitting way to end the match, on

:51:50. > :52:00.another baseline winner. That backhand. A traditional route now.

:52:01. > :52:10.They have even put a little gate in in the players' box so they don't

:52:11. > :52:14.have to climb over. Overwhelmed with happiness as she hugs her parents.

:52:15. > :52:20.What a special moment this is, John, when you see somebody win these

:52:21. > :52:28.titles. The feeling? Pat Cash is the first guy that did it. He went up in

:52:29. > :52:35.1987. It was, "What in the world is he doing?" And it seems to make

:52:36. > :52:40.total sense now. Andrew Jarrett just having a word, perhaps consoling

:52:41. > :52:44.Eugenie Bouchard. It is a lonely place. As successful as she has been

:52:45. > :52:46.throughout this tournament, she would have loved to have been a

:52:47. > :53:00.little closer. A little wave to the Royal Box to

:53:01. > :53:06.the great champions that are up there today, to witness her second

:53:07. > :53:10.fantastic moment. Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your

:53:11. > :53:19.attention, please? We would ask you that remain in your seats until the

:53:20. > :53:21.roof has closed in preparation for the trophy presentation ceremony

:53:22. > :53:27.which will take place in a few moments' time. Whenever have you

:53:28. > :53:34.heard that? They kept the roof open for the match and now they are going

:53:35. > :53:40.to clooz -- close the roof for the ceremony. OK. Bouchard is leaving

:53:41. > :53:49.the court. I guess she can come back in 20 minutes. I guess, John, if you

:53:50. > :53:54.were sitting out there as well, with the sort of disappointment that she

:53:55. > :53:58.will be feeling, maybe that is the place to leave it. Kvitova as well.

:53:59. > :54:06.This is unusual. This is unprecedented. Call the stylist in!

:54:07. > :54:13.Dress up for this ceremony! There is one person who doesn't mind. She can

:54:14. > :54:20.wait a few more minutes. That is one of the most awesome displays of

:54:21. > :54:28.shot-making. That's the best I have seen her move! The strap. We

:54:29. > :54:35.expected her to dictate a fair amount of the points. We didn't

:54:36. > :54:40.expect her to dictate EVERY point. Not sure a Plan B would have

:54:41. > :54:51.mattered, to be honest. It seemed like it was worth a shot. Kvitova is

:54:52. > :54:55.someone, when on her game, she makes life miserable for you because you

:54:56. > :55:13.don't feel like you are able to do anything. Nothing. Now what? As we

:55:14. > :55:22.wait and we see the roof close... Did I ever win this that easily?

:55:23. > :55:28.Nine times. Check the book to see if it was ever in 55 minutes. The

:55:29. > :55:35.shortest final of all time, that's for sure. We can go back into the 20

:55:36. > :55:43.minutes or so. Was that Steffi Graf? No, that was way back! OK. Martina

:55:44. > :56:00.did destroy a few opponents in her time. You wonder - maybe Marion

:56:01. > :56:17.Bartoli was thinking it's probably best to quit while I'm ahead. Jana

:56:18. > :56:22.Novotna went through a horrible time. Bouchard hoping she will learn

:56:23. > :56:27.from this experience. There is so much to be proud of to get to the

:56:28. > :56:33.final. To step up to the plate, to be considered among the best. Anne

:56:34. > :56:41.Jones prior to that, won Wimbledon in '69. Virginia Wade won in '77.

:56:42. > :56:49.Here we go. What a moment that is. I think I know who it is going to

:56:50. > :56:57.be(!) They can never take your name off that!

:56:58. > :57:06.Here it comes. Let's hope it turns out right. They have time to fix it

:57:07. > :57:14.if it doesn't! The roof is almost closed. 2014 champion - Petra

:57:15. > :57:24.Kvitova. SUE BARKER: That will be a very

:57:25. > :57:28.welcome sight for Petra Kvitova when she comes back on to court to

:57:29. > :57:32.receive the trophy, her name on the board once again here at Wimbledon

:57:33. > :57:38.and what a worthy winner she was today. Lindsay, talking about the

:57:39. > :57:42.match-point, it was incredible from start to finish? It was amazing. You

:57:43. > :57:46.always dream as a player to play your best match in one of your

:57:47. > :57:51.biggest matches and hats off to Kvitova and to her entire team that

:57:52. > :58:00.put her in the right frame of mind this spire tournament. That was --

:58:01. > :58:05.frame of mind this entire tournament. We talked about the

:58:06. > :58:09.weapons that Kvitova has before the match. I don't think anyone would

:58:10. > :58:13.imagine that she would be making so few errors and be so dominant. There

:58:14. > :58:17.was no down period in that match? There wasn't. She was so unaffected

:58:18. > :58:22.by the occasion. She was playing this match like it was a practise

:58:23. > :58:27.match on a side court. She wasn't missing today. I don't know if there

:58:28. > :58:33.was too much anybody could have done today. It is not only with the

:58:34. > :58:37.serve, it was with the return. And also - you look at Eugenie Bouchard.

:58:38. > :58:41.There isn't much that she could do, she was trying to do everything but

:58:42. > :58:45.when someone is that dominant, there is no answer to it. No, she was

:58:46. > :58:49.trying to get more first serves in. She was trying to get the ball out

:58:50. > :58:53.of the strike zone. The ball was coming so heavy. When you combine

:58:54. > :58:56.Kvitova getting a little faster, getting in better position - this is

:58:57. > :59:01.one of the points of the tournament for Kvitova here. That's her

:59:02. > :59:05.weakness, Kvitova. Today, Bouchard couldn't exploit it at all. And

:59:06. > :59:10.also, when you see Kvitova play like this, you wonder how many more

:59:11. > :59:12.Wimbledons she could win. You have a feeling there's a bunch more coming

:59:13. > :59:23.her way. Those were some of the points from

:59:24. > :59:26.earlier in this match. Petra Kvitova has just walked back out on to the

:59:27. > :59:29.court. The players are back on court. So it is time for the

:59:30. > :59:32.presentation. It is back to Mark Petchey.

:59:33. > :59:41.MARK PETCHEY: A penny for her thoughts. There's that smile that

:59:42. > :59:49.she has. A second Wimbledon title. The second time she is about to hold

:59:50. > :59:52.that very famous plate in her hands. The anticipation is greater this

:59:53. > :59:56.time around in terms of the wait that everybody has had before the

:59:57. > :00:02.dignitaries take to court. JOHN MCENROE: Three years ago, it

:00:03. > :00:06.was difficult for her to come to grips with her success. You get the

:00:07. > :00:09.feeling she is much better prepared this time and much more willing to

:00:10. > :00:14.accept the challenge. It would be hard to believe, Mark, if she

:00:15. > :00:15.doesn't win a number more majors including this tournament after what

:00:16. > :00:37.we saw today. That's pretty nice when you can't

:00:38. > :00:51.take the he smile off your face. There is Eugenie Bouchard, when a

:00:52. > :00:56.talent she is. What a star she already is. Unquestionably you feel

:00:57. > :01:01.it won't be too long before she wins a Grand Slam somewhere. It wasn't to

:01:02. > :01:05.be her day today. SUE BARKER: Ladies and gentleman, the proies will be

:01:06. > :01:10.presented on court by His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, president

:01:11. > :01:15.of the All England Club, accompanied by Philip brook, the chairman of the

:01:16. > :01:19.All England Club and the president of the Lawn Tennis Association.

:01:20. > :01:20.Please welcome the presentation party.

:01:21. > :01:56.APPLAUSE First, please welcome today's chair

:01:57. > :02:17.umpire. APPLAUSE

:02:18. > :02:21.Please show your appreciation for the runner up, Eugenie Bouchard.

:02:22. > :02:54.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE MARK PETCHEY: There she is smiling.

:02:55. > :03:03.Still a tremendous achievement to become runner up at Wimbledon.

:03:04. > :03:25.SUE BARKER: The ladies' champion of Wimbledon, 2014, Petra Kvitova.

:03:26. > :03:29.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE MARK PETCHEY: It's a short walk, but

:03:30. > :04:16.it's a beautiful walk. SUE BARKER: I know this is hard but

:04:17. > :04:20.everyone would love to flare you. You've had -- to hear from you.

:04:21. > :04:24.You've had such a great tournament but up against a flair great form

:04:25. > :04:27.today. Yeah, first of all I'd like to congratulate Petra. She played

:04:28. > :04:36.fantastic, these two weeks. APPLAUSE

:04:37. > :04:40.It was really tough for me today, but I'm proud of how I've played

:04:41. > :04:43.this whole tournament. I love coming back to Wimbledon, so thank you

:04:44. > :04:52.guys. CHEERING

:04:53. > :04:55.Everybody love you here too. You've proved, not only just here, but

:04:56. > :04:59.throughout the year, that you will be a champion of the future, I'm

:05:00. > :05:02.sure you believe that too. Thank you, yeah, I feel it's a step in the

:05:03. > :05:06.right direction. I don't know if I deserve all your love today, but I

:05:07. > :05:09.really appreciate it. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:05:10. > :05:15.You certainly do, ladies and gentleman, Eugenie Bouchard.

:05:16. > :05:35.Petra, the game plan, that worked! Definitely. I had a great tactic

:05:36. > :05:44.from my coach. He always know what I have to play and I just wanted to be

:05:45. > :05:49.here again with the trophy. I have to say that she had a very good

:05:50. > :05:53.journey and you will stay, you will be back soon for you. Definitely it

:05:54. > :05:59.was a tough match. I already played one final, but you never know how it

:06:00. > :06:03.is. All my team help me a lot during the years to come back here, stay

:06:04. > :06:19.with the trophy. APPLAUSE

:06:20. > :06:24.I think everyone sees exactly what it means to you. You've won the

:06:25. > :06:29.trophy before, but this one is possibly even more special? I can't

:06:30. > :06:36.say it's more special, but definitely after three years to stay

:06:37. > :06:42.here with the trophy again is absolutely amazing. Definitely, I

:06:43. > :06:49.have to say once more, thank you so much to David, Richie, my manager,

:06:50. > :06:59.my dad, who has a birthday tomorrow. APPLAUSE

:07:00. > :07:03.Of course, my mama and everybody who sat with me all the time and

:07:04. > :07:07.definitely it's an amazing time for me. I don't think people realise

:07:08. > :07:12.exactly what it means for everyone in the Czech Republic too. I mean,

:07:13. > :07:15.hope flip it's going to be good -- hopefully, it's going to be good for

:07:16. > :07:23.everybody, to have a second trophy at home. I still have a lot of work

:07:24. > :07:27.to do, they work hard for that. You said after you won in 2011, you

:07:28. > :07:31.found it difficult to deal with it. But you're ready for this now? I

:07:32. > :07:35.hope so. It's my second title, so I hope that now it's going to be a

:07:36. > :07:39.little bit easier for me. If you continue to play like that, there'll

:07:40. > :07:41.be many more. Enjoy the trophy, enjoy the moment, ladies and

:07:42. > :07:44.gentleman, the champion, Petra Kvitova.

:07:45. > :08:04.MARK PETCHEY: She makes a lovely speech and she plays a fantastic

:08:05. > :08:12.game of tennis. There's not too much wrong in Petra Kvitova's world right

:08:13. > :08:20.now. A very, very likeable champion. JOHN MCENROE: You can tell that from

:08:21. > :08:24.far away, she seems like a class act. I do hope that she is. I

:08:25. > :08:31.believe she is much more ready to deal with this and prepared to

:08:32. > :08:35.embrace this and really win numerous majors. It would be hard to believe

:08:36. > :08:41.watching her play today, I couldn't imagine her not winning this again,

:08:42. > :08:48.the way she played. At 24, when was the last time Martina won her, how

:08:49. > :08:58.old was she when she won her ninth? How old was she when she won her

:08:59. > :09:04.first? Lindsay, what ages were you when you won your majors? Between 22

:09:05. > :09:10.and sadly, I think 23 was the last one I won. 23. That was the last

:09:11. > :09:16.one. So, I think Kvitova has a bit more a

:09:17. > :09:21.bright side there. She looks so much more comfortable now handling this

:09:22. > :09:26.occasion and she showed zero nerves today. That is remarkable. That is

:09:27. > :09:35.still just her second Grand Slam final. Now 2-0 in Grand Slam finals.

:09:36. > :09:40.Martina won her first in 1978, her last in 1990. That's a fairly decent

:09:41. > :09:48.span of years to be picking up Wimbledon titles. So she was, let me

:09:49. > :10:02.think, I think she's about 57 or 58... 33 or 34? She's got time.

:10:03. > :10:09.She's got time to at least win a couple more! She's got a little work

:10:10. > :10:15.to do to get nine. You have to have a slightly bigger trophy cabinet

:10:16. > :10:18.these days since 2007, because they expanded the size of the replica

:10:19. > :10:27.that the champions get given, so that you get all the names on, it a

:10:28. > :10:33.nice touch from the club as well. The champions now get a trove dwla

:10:34. > :10:40.size? No -- Trophy that size? No, I think it's three quarter size. Is

:10:41. > :10:51.that true with the men's too? I believe so. Eugenie Bouchard getting

:10:52. > :10:56.some great applause. This is always a tough trovive presentation for the

:10:57. > :11:09.runner up because you stay on court the whole time, you walk around the

:11:10. > :11:12.court with your trophy. I must say, this is also reasonably new. It

:11:13. > :11:18.hasn't been that long, back in my day... You didn't have to stick

:11:19. > :11:23.around? No. That is a tough one to swallow. You feel incredible, you've

:11:24. > :11:48.gotten there, but this doesn't seem to be the moment for the runner up.

:11:49. > :11:57.Sadly, I'm going to have to bid the two of you a fond farewell. It's

:11:58. > :12:01.always a sad moment, John. I know! I can see the tears in your eyes. It's

:12:02. > :12:10.an emotional moment not just for Kvitova. But for Lindsay and us as

:12:11. > :12:17.well. Always a pleasure. Absolutely. Maybe next year we'll get, you know,

:12:18. > :12:21.a really close match. Not like the French where it was 2001 since

:12:22. > :12:31.they'd had a three setter in the women's final, we only have to go

:12:32. > :12:36.back a couple of years to Serena and Radwanska. Somehow Agie won the

:12:37. > :12:37.Still a second. Remarkable feat. See you soon. See you soon. Thanks

:12:38. > :12:59.again. A couple of other people taking

:13:00. > :13:04.their leave from Centre Court. Eugenie Bouchard through to the

:13:05. > :13:13.final, and it puts her in illustrious company. The champion,

:13:14. > :13:18.we can say now, from last year, the new champion is Petra Kvitova. You

:13:19. > :13:33.will take a while to see that smile disappear from her face.

:13:34. > :13:53.It was short. It was sweet and it certainly is for this lady.

:13:54. > :14:02.Flat hitting, flat out and just sheer, unconditional love and

:14:03. > :14:03.support from her parents over the years, another life-changing moment

:14:04. > :14:30.for Kvitova here at Wimbledon. SUE BARKER: Very emotional moments

:14:31. > :14:34.on Centre Court. For Petra's family and indeed herself. I say on Centre

:14:35. > :14:37.Court that maybe this one will be more special, because in some ways,

:14:38. > :14:41.she's come back having not really dealt with the 2011 victory and has

:14:42. > :14:47.come through and played just incredibly well. Virginia and Tracey

:14:48. > :14:52.are with me. She didn't put a foot wrong. No, she played an absolute

:14:53. > :14:56.blinder. I have to say, I have seen her do this before and that's why

:14:57. > :14:59.it's surprising she haen been able to maintain -- he hasn't been able

:15:00. > :15:03.to maintain or even half that good form would have won her a ton of

:15:04. > :15:07.tournaments in the process. But she couldn't do anything wrong. It was

:15:08. > :15:10.actually quite a phenomenal performance. Let's see the moment

:15:11. > :15:15.she did win it. This is match points. It's what she dreamed of.

:15:16. > :15:20.This is just how she finished it off. She was dominant on the serve,

:15:21. > :15:27.but the return was so impressive as well. She had Eugenie on the back

:15:28. > :15:31.foot all the time. TRACY AUSTIN: That t was reminiscent of the way

:15:32. > :15:36.she played in 2011. It was closer, this match. Maria able to impose her

:15:37. > :15:42.game some. But I really have to say that today was all about Petra

:15:43. > :15:46.Kvitova. I don't think, I hope that nobody writes that Eugenie Bouchard

:15:47. > :15:50.was overwhelmed bit moment or -- by the moment or didn't play well. But

:15:51. > :15:54.it was Petra Kvitova imposing her game with the first shot, the big

:15:55. > :15:59.serves, the great returns and those ground strokes were laser like, so

:16:00. > :16:03.deep and so hard and at some point in the match, Eugenie Bouchard just

:16:04. > :16:08.looked rattled. For someone who we've been so impressed with, the

:16:09. > :16:12.way she's handled leading up to the finals, great composure, always

:16:13. > :16:19.calm, playing the big points so well, Kvitova didn't let her get

:16:20. > :16:24.into the match. Look at the first serves as well. First serve points

:16:25. > :16:27.won, 46% for Bouchard is not enough. She wasn't able to put enough on the

:16:28. > :16:31.serve. Kvitova was seeing the ball so well. That was the big area that

:16:32. > :16:38.led her down. You had the feeling that she was then forcing it,

:16:39. > :16:45.because she was missing by just inches. Golly, that went up very

:16:46. > :16:50.quickly. It was fascinating also seeing the two of them from the

:16:51. > :16:54.lovely seat I had in the Royal Box, right behind, but Kvitova was

:16:55. > :16:59.getting taller and taller and Eugenie was shrinking in this match.

:17:00. > :17:05.That's what can happen. She was racing a little bit. Her head must

:17:06. > :17:09.have been Just talking spinning. With the chairman there Philip

:17:10. > :17:14.Brook. He welcomes her as champion once again and boy, it really was a

:17:15. > :17:18.champion's performance. If she can play like that, because I was

:17:19. > :17:21.waiting, when is the form going to dip? When is it going to be the time

:17:22. > :17:25.in the match when it goes off a little? TRACY AUSTIN: Yeah, will she

:17:26. > :17:29.sustain this type of play where she was hitting so many winners. To me,

:17:30. > :17:34.being picky, there were two or three times in the second set where she

:17:35. > :17:38.was a little hesitant, all credit to Petra, where she was able to put the

:17:39. > :17:44.- there's Gill Brook, the chairman's wife. She put the pedal to the metal

:17:45. > :17:47.again and started to control play. It will be interesting to see how

:17:48. > :17:55.she handles the situation. Last time she got a little nervous. That was

:17:56. > :18:02.the Czech ambassador and his wife. There's the reigning champion, who

:18:03. > :18:05.retired. Martina Navratilova and he laina Sukova from the Czech

:18:06. > :18:10.Republic, two of the great champions. Martina had a wonderful

:18:11. > :18:12.left-handed serve and she will have admired what Petra delivered today.

:18:13. > :18:25.The serving was superb. Now they walk past the members and

:18:26. > :18:29.out onto the balcony, because for many people here at Wimbledon, they

:18:30. > :18:35.don't get tickets for Centre Court, but they're here enjoying ladies'

:18:36. > :18:39.finals day. They congregate just under the balcony and they can get a

:18:40. > :18:45.picture of the champion with the trophy. This is in the rain as well.

:18:46. > :18:49.Look at that. Wonderful moments. So many have queued to be here and to

:18:50. > :18:54.get a chance to see the champion with the trophy. It used to go out

:18:55. > :19:00.onto the roadway, before, just in front of the clubhouse. Now it's on

:19:01. > :19:04.the balcony. On top of the old competitors balcony. You don't mind

:19:05. > :19:08.what you're doing, frankly. You're on such a high. The reason that they

:19:09. > :19:13.don't lift that trophy and hold it above their head for long is it

:19:14. > :19:18.weighs a ton. Even for these strong tennis players, it's quite a massive

:19:19. > :19:23.piece, it's been taken away already. You don't get it for very long. How

:19:24. > :19:28.big is the one you get? Now they get a bigger one than the one I got. I

:19:29. > :19:32.heard it was about eight inches. Mine is about eight. But I think

:19:33. > :19:39.they are probably almost 12 inches, the last half dozen years, they've

:19:40. > :19:43.given them a bigger replica. That's the walk down to the dressing room.

:19:44. > :19:48.It's fun because all the members come through from the lawn and they

:19:49. > :19:53.go in there and then the players come out and then, because there's

:19:54. > :19:58.glass there, all the spectators outside are waiting, like last

:19:59. > :20:01.night, when Roger and Djokovic were there, they just queueing, I heard

:20:02. > :20:04.an announcement, please clear the way, because they were waiting to

:20:05. > :20:11.see the players up there. It's very special that they get a chance to

:20:12. > :20:15.get a little look. A peak. How is Genie going to recover from that?

:20:16. > :20:18.She will be bitterly disappointed. We have said there wasn't a lot she

:20:19. > :20:23.could do about, it but it's going to hurt. She's such a competitor, when

:20:24. > :20:27.she won in the semifinals she said she was proud of this complishment,

:20:28. > :20:30.but she had more to do. I think she expected to win this match. I think

:20:31. > :20:35.she'll get perspective. She'll be very disappointed for a few days and

:20:36. > :20:40.especial the way the match was so quick and she wasn't even able to

:20:41. > :20:43.get her foot in the door. Once she gets her perspective and her coach,

:20:44. > :20:47.who actual I have not only her coach, but I think he works with her

:20:48. > :20:52.mind as well, he'll say, you know what, it's been so positive, such a

:20:53. > :20:58.terrific run. Her draw wasn't easy. She had to beat Hantuchova to start

:20:59. > :21:01.off with, Petkovic, Cornet, Halep, it was difficult. You can look at

:21:02. > :21:05.the improvement she's had. Started off at the Australian Open and got

:21:06. > :21:09.to her first semifinals. Lost to Li Na. She was really nervous in that

:21:10. > :21:14.match. Each slam she's done better this year. Semifinals of the French,

:21:15. > :21:18.where she really pushed Sharapova to three sets and now the final here.

:21:19. > :21:23.She's only 20. She has such a bright future, so many weapons. She's made

:21:24. > :21:26.such a big impression here, certainly at the French and

:21:27. > :21:29.Australian she did too, but everybody's been talking about her

:21:30. > :21:32.as if she was going to win, which I think probably actually put more

:21:33. > :21:37.pressure on her and took the pressure off Kvitova a little bit,

:21:38. > :21:41.so she could just go out there swinging those great shots of hers.

:21:42. > :21:48.Boy, she has some massive shots when they connect. I think Eugenie will

:21:49. > :21:53.be fine. She'll be more determined. She is not somebody to shy away from

:21:54. > :21:59.hardship really. She will find a way to work it out. It was just a day,

:22:00. > :22:05.today was not her Sometimes more day. The loss hurts, the better you

:22:06. > :22:08.become. Let's take a look at how Eugenie was blown away, particularly

:22:09. > :22:12.in the early part of the match, because she did really start right

:22:13. > :22:16.from the very first game, Petra, just taking the ball so early,

:22:17. > :22:21.moving forward and just not giving Genie any chance to make any

:22:22. > :22:25.returns. One of the big problems for Genie was that she didn't, she was

:22:26. > :22:30.struggling with her serve. Because her toss is a little bit over the

:22:31. > :22:35.left, she can't quite get the same sort of swinging penetration that

:22:36. > :22:39.Kvitova can. That said, a lot of times she had beautiful serves,

:22:40. > :22:44.102mph, oh, that was the shot right there. That was absolutely

:22:45. > :22:49.demonstrating Kvitova's better movement as well. The depth as well.

:22:50. > :22:52.Genie started to feel overwhelmed by Kvitova. She was absolutely

:22:53. > :22:57.smothering her and not letting her get into these points. She was so

:22:58. > :23:01.completely rushed by the power and we have rarely seen where

:23:02. > :23:05.competitors have been able to hit so many winners against Genie, because

:23:06. > :23:10.usually she's dictating. That was the first set. That's how she

:23:11. > :23:14.claimed that first set out on Centre Court. It's not just the power, but

:23:15. > :23:18.the depth we were looking at there in the shots Even when Eugenie

:23:19. > :23:22.played a couple of beautiful points, absolutely fabulous and came into

:23:23. > :23:26.the net and was in position, it was like Petra just shut her eyes and

:23:27. > :23:34.said woof, it was one of those games. She could have played with

:23:35. > :23:37.her eyes shut today. I think, Eugenie needs to think a little bit

:23:38. > :23:41.more about her serve. She was trying to just go to the corners, wasn't

:23:42. > :23:47.really working. She needs to find a way of serving into the body a bit

:23:48. > :23:50.more and mixing that up. Let's see, we'll see changes in her game, I

:23:51. > :23:54.know that. I know she'll be improving all the She has time. The

:23:55. > :23:58.kick serve as well, which can mix it up. She does. She's usually so good

:23:59. > :24:03.at picking her spots and she has the serve at the body. To me, it's all

:24:04. > :24:07.about Kvitova today. I don't fault Eugenie Bouchard at all. I kept

:24:08. > :24:11.waiting, OK, when is the other shoe going to drop and Kvitova's forehand

:24:12. > :24:16.will start to spray. She doesn't take much off the ball. Her game is

:24:17. > :24:21.so high risk. It has such a big swing. Even if the ball comes hard

:24:22. > :24:24.at her, it's still the big swing, usually doesn't change it up and

:24:25. > :24:30.have the subtleness where she takes pace off. She hits so flat. She's

:24:31. > :24:35.going over the net about this high. Usually when you have, you see Rafa

:24:36. > :24:40.takes big swings, but he has a lot of topspin, so there's a big

:24:41. > :24:43.trajectory in the ball. Petra like this, you are don't have enough

:24:44. > :24:50.time. Interesting thing for me is to see how Petra now handles this time,

:24:51. > :24:54.at 24. I think at 21, it all came a little too quickly for her. Very shy

:24:55. > :24:57.girl and at the US Open, lost in the first round. Struggled to win

:24:58. > :25:01.matches after winning Wimbledon in 2011. We expected thor dominate

:25:02. > :25:06.because -- expected her to dominate. We see a match like that and we say,

:25:07. > :25:10.wow, you have everything. She even has the volley. We didn't see it

:25:11. > :25:14.much today. It's a shame because in some ways, we haven't had a really

:25:15. > :25:18.good ladies final for some time. This was very one-sided. So not a

:25:19. > :25:23.great advert for the game. Then you just have to applaud the style of

:25:24. > :25:27.which Kvitova played. It's been the story of women's tennis in the last

:25:28. > :25:30.decade really is that there have been magnificent matches all through

:25:31. > :25:34.the tournament and this was no exception. The French was brilliant.

:25:35. > :25:38.Then the final is just not up to snuff. Yet, I heard a great buzz

:25:39. > :25:45.around people saying they were really excited to watch two, well,

:25:46. > :25:51.Kvitova's or semi-newcomer and Bouchard. It's just the way the

:25:52. > :25:55.cookie crumbles. I don't know. I think that Bouchard will find a way

:25:56. > :26:00.to keep coming back. I think Kvitova, the difference now between

:26:01. > :26:04.now and three years ago, she's so much trimmer and fitter and faster.

:26:05. > :26:08.She's really worked on her fitness level. Her confidence, I mean, she

:26:09. > :26:13.holds her head up high. Her English is fantastic. So she's obviously

:26:14. > :26:20.learning new things, which may not be that easy for her. She's really

:26:21. > :26:24.comfortable being a winner. I love her demeanor today on the court. I

:26:25. > :26:29.don't remember seeing that much since 2011. So often you see her

:26:30. > :26:32.playing, but doesn't have the intensity, doesn't have that sense

:26:33. > :26:35.of urgency. She was very deliberate today. It looked like she was on a

:26:36. > :26:43.mission. It looked like she was full of confidence. You didn't see

:26:44. > :26:47.anything too loud where she screams and shouts, a fist pump and focussed

:26:48. > :26:50.on the next point. I hope we continue to see that. Because it's

:26:51. > :26:55.such a pleasure when you see Kvitova play this well. I mean, the angles,

:26:56. > :27:00.you talked about the depth, which was amazing, but the angles, just

:27:01. > :27:03.She was terrific. Flawless today. So Petra Kvitova is the champion of

:27:04. > :27:07.Wimbledon here today. It is the men's final tomorrow. Novak Djokovic

:27:08. > :27:10.up against Roger Federer. Roger was here earlier today, dodging the

:27:11. > :27:15.showers, trying to get a practice and Gary was with him.

:27:16. > :27:19.You got a bit of practice in, but it's the old story of rain. That's

:27:20. > :27:22.OK. I got most of it in, just a few serves here and there that were

:27:23. > :27:27.missing. It's not going to make the difference tomorrow. It's all about

:27:28. > :27:30.just getting some movement, going out there and work well. You know

:27:31. > :27:37.the day before, how do you feel inside? Are you getting psyched up

:27:38. > :27:42.at this Yeah, excite stage? D. I'm still just relaxing and enjoying the

:27:43. > :27:45.tournament so far. From now on, anything, looking forward now. I

:27:46. > :27:49.have some press to do, which we will talk a lot about the match tomorrow.

:27:50. > :27:52.I think that's going to start to get me thinking about the finals

:27:53. > :27:57.tomorrow. Lastly, how well will you sleep tonight? Do you get a really

:27:58. > :28:03.solid night's sleep or wake up and think, "Another final coming up."

:28:04. > :28:06.Usually I don't sleep so much in terms of ten, 11 hours. It's more

:28:07. > :28:10.like seven, eight hours. I don't know if it's nerves. I've slept

:28:11. > :28:15.enough the last few days, one more day doesn't matter that much. Thank

:28:16. > :28:19.you for stopping by. My pleasure. I don't think he's going to have

:28:20. > :28:23.trouble sleeping. He's been in so many finals. Did you sleep before

:28:24. > :28:28.your final here? I think so. But I was, yeah, I did. You wake up and

:28:29. > :28:31.something comes into your head. I was amuse whenned we were talking

:28:32. > :28:35.about Halep before, I know we're going to the men, they said after

:28:36. > :28:38.she got through those matches and got to the final of the French, she

:28:39. > :28:43.was so tired, she was sleeping 14 hours a day. I tell you, when you

:28:44. > :28:48.exert that much physical exercise, you do need the sleep to recover.

:28:49. > :28:54.He's going for an eighth title here at Wimbledon. We thought that was

:28:55. > :29:00.unheard of until Rafa did nine at Roland Garros. Up against Djokovic,

:29:01. > :29:04.who has impressed you the most? It's difficult to say. Roger hasn't lost

:29:05. > :29:10.a set. He's only been broken one time. Only one service game broken.

:29:11. > :29:14.He's looked, you use the word "flawless". He's looked flawless.

:29:15. > :29:19.He's so comfortable playing here. He's playing at his favourite place.

:29:20. > :29:23.He's playing on his favourite surface. Djokovic has had a tough

:29:24. > :29:28.draw. A couple of matcher against Cilic, five sets, where he looked in

:29:29. > :29:31.control early on. He let the match slip away and against Dimitrov

:29:32. > :29:37.yesterday as well, he was looked like he was in control and threat

:29:38. > :29:42.slip a way -- and let it slip away. This will be their 35th time they've

:29:43. > :29:45.played. That's a lot of times. It's really quite incredible. Roger will

:29:46. > :29:49.sleep fine tonight. This is his ninth final. This is like, OK,

:29:50. > :29:54.another day, I'm doing it again. The way I look at it, I mean, obviously,

:29:55. > :29:59.on paper, you probably favour Djokovic just a little bit. But

:30:00. > :30:03.Roger knows how well he's playing. He's just hitting the ball sublimely

:30:04. > :30:09.this tournament. He knows how much of a record is at stake. So that

:30:10. > :30:14.extra motivation, because as you get older, what happens is it's just

:30:15. > :30:19.harder to really dig deep and work that hard and your belief goes a

:30:20. > :30:25.little bit. But it's like the Red Sea has parted and he's going to be

:30:26. > :30:31.driving his chariot through because everybody, all his betnoir has

:30:32. > :30:35.fallen by the wayside. Nadal went. Andy went and he doesn't like

:30:36. > :30:41.playing Andy. Djokovic he can sometimes handle. So I think all

:30:42. > :30:45.that extra motivation might just be enough to just give him the edge.

:30:46. > :30:49.Who knows. It's going to be who plays better on the day, because

:30:50. > :30:57.they're both such fabulous players that you can't really predict it.

:30:58. > :31:05.What about Djokovic, he's lost five of his last six Grand Slam finals?

:31:06. > :31:09.He lost to Roger the last time they played in Monte Carlo. Djokovic had

:31:10. > :31:15.a bad wrist. That didn't help him. He lost in the semis to Roger here a

:31:16. > :31:19.couple of years ago. That has to be playing on his mind. He spoke about

:31:20. > :31:24.that in the press conference. That's one of the big reasons why he hired

:31:25. > :31:27.Boris. The margins are so small, that extra piece of the puzzle and

:31:28. > :31:34.particularly here, Boris knows how to win here. He knows his way around

:31:35. > :31:39.grass. He's been pushed here whereas Roger hasn't. At 32, physically, it

:31:40. > :31:49.is nice for Roger that he hasn't been pushed and he had the day off.

:31:50. > :31:55.He's playing with such confidence. Stefan Edberg has convinced Roger

:31:56. > :32:00.that he can serve and volley once in a while. Not many can. The focus

:32:01. > :32:06.will be on the court but a lot of people will be looking at the

:32:07. > :32:11.coaches' box. A lot of Grand Slams there! That is why the players have

:32:12. > :32:17.brought them in for this moment. Let me tell you - Stefan has added to

:32:18. > :32:22.Roger's game above all recognition. I mean, now he's in position when he

:32:23. > :32:27.goes to the net, he hits these fabulous volleys. It is like - there

:32:28. > :32:40.was this great statement from Roger saying that when Stefan Edber g was

:32:41. > :32:47.hitting against him he is like a magnet. As long as he gets the

:32:48. > :32:51.opportunity to come in because Djokovic hits it so deep, we will be

:32:52. > :32:58.getting some glamorous stuff out there. We certainly hope so. Thank

:32:59. > :33:05.you very much. We will be heading to Centre Court for the Ladies' Doubles

:33:06. > :33:10.Final. Look at this. What a change. We had lovely sunny weather during

:33:11. > :33:14.the final. Now those showers have come across Wimbledon, so for all of

:33:15. > :33:19.the spectators, it is brollies up and no play on any of the outside

:33:20. > :33:21.courts, so all the attention is on Centre Court. So, that is where we

:33:22. > :33:31.are heading. It is Timea Babos, Kristina

:33:32. > :33:35.Mladenovic and they are up against Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci. It is

:33:36. > :33:41.the only Grand Slam they have yet to win, so let's join this one. It

:33:42. > :33:50.hasn't started just yet. Tracy is on the way.

:33:51. > :33:59.What a day it is for this woman in your picture, Timea Babos. Her first

:34:00. > :34:04.major final. She made the Junior Girls Doubles Final in 2010 and won

:34:05. > :34:16.it with Sloane Stephens. A huge day for this 24-year-old. Four days

:34:17. > :34:24.older than Kristina Mladenovic. Her nickname is Motty, so this could be

:34:25. > :34:27.Match of the Day! Their third Tour-level tournament together as a

:34:28. > :34:36.team. It is their 13th match together and they are trying to win

:34:37. > :34:42.a Wimbledon title. Richard Haig of Great Britain in the chair for this

:34:43. > :34:48.one -- Richard Haigh of Great Britain in the chair for this one.

:34:49. > :34:59.They have also won the Australian Open the last two years, so this

:35:00. > :35:00.would complete the set for the number-two seeds, Sara Errani and

:35:01. > :35:11.Roberta Vinci. All four women lost in the first

:35:12. > :35:21.round of the singles. So, they have had plenty of time to fully

:35:22. > :35:27.concentrate in the doubles. That's a gutsy start. The biggest match in

:35:28. > :35:56.Babos' life and happy to serve first.

:35:57. > :36:11.CHRIS BRADNAM: Super point to start with. Serve and stay back. We see so

:36:12. > :37:34.much of that in doubles these days. It was an interesting decision to

:37:35. > :37:58.put the least experienced into serve. Two break-points.

:37:59. > :38:06.Perfect start for the number-two seeds.

:38:07. > :38:22.An immediate break of serve. Echoes a little, the sound of the ball is

:38:23. > :38:30.very different under the roof. Wonderful for everybody that there

:38:31. > :39:16.is no interruption in play. The better server for the Italian team.

:39:17. > :39:53.Always good to see serve and volley in doubles. It is becoming rarer and

:39:54. > :39:55.rarer, but Roberta Vinci played a lot of serve and volley early on in

:39:56. > :41:11.her career. That's a good hold. After five

:41:12. > :41:16.minutes, Tracy has made her way to the commentary box. It's a good head

:41:17. > :41:31.start for the Italians. Would you have wanted to serve

:41:32. > :41:37.first? TRACY AUSTIN: Probably not. Both

:41:38. > :41:42.Mladenovic and Babos have big serves. Mladenovic is known for

:41:43. > :43:12.being a little erratic on her serve. Mladenovic and Babos are known for

:43:13. > :43:40.their backhands. You can see where the Mladenovic

:43:41. > :43:46.serve can break down because there are few hitches. The best server in

:43:47. > :44:19.the game, in my opinion, Serena Williams, she is nice and fluid.

:44:20. > :44:26.Both in this team are serving and staying back. Interesting to see how

:44:27. > :44:31.much the receiving Italian will look to get up to the net. Roberta Vinci

:44:32. > :44:41.always looks to move forward. She has the best volleys on court.

:44:42. > :44:48.Not a bad play there for a couple of reasons. Right at your opponent -

:44:49. > :44:54.tough to get out of the way if you hit it hard enough. And also makes

:44:55. > :44:55.them more hesitant to poach so going with the I-formation now.

:44:56. > :45:12.Break-point. That is very smart to go with the

:45:13. > :45:29.I-formation against Errani. Errani is so consistent on her returns.

:45:30. > :45:54.That felt quicker than 100mph. She is 6ft, Mladenovic. Beautiful sound.

:45:55. > :46:01.Good thing for Babos is it's doubles. She's got somebody to talk

:46:02. > :46:52.to her and help calm her down. Not a lot going right for her yet.

:46:53. > :46:56.The lob way too short here. Vinci was in the middle of the court

:46:57. > :47:38.really threatening. That looked nervy, too. Babos is

:47:39. > :47:43.very close to the tramlines. She isn't very close to the net as well.

:47:44. > :47:55.That's better positioning now. Positioning is so key. You want to

:47:56. > :47:57.be over far enough to Babos' left that Errani feels less space to hit

:47:58. > :48:10.into. Two doubles in a row. That is not going to help if

:48:11. > :48:15.Mladenovic, who has to be the captain out here with the mixed

:48:16. > :48:23.doubles triumphs that she's got, but this is not the best start. Sara

:48:24. > :48:31.Errani and Roberta Vinci have been struggling by comparison since, but

:48:32. > :48:37.they are a really good team. They play so well together. They practise

:48:38. > :48:44.together. They know what to say to each other to help elevate their

:48:45. > :48:52.belief. Vinci is the leader out there, though. This is their 258th

:48:53. > :48:54.match together. For the opposition, first major, it is their 13th match

:48:55. > :49:02.together. A vast difference. UMPIRE: Time. Take your seats

:49:03. > :49:54.quickly, please. perfectly played point by the

:49:55. > :51:06.Italians. Vinci all over the net. Must have thought Vinci was going to

:51:07. > :51:22.be leave k home -- leaving home and trying to catch her.

:51:23. > :51:33.So sharp. It is really interesting to have a top ten player change

:51:34. > :51:38.their serve so drastically. And just did it this spring, Sara Errani. She

:51:39. > :51:42.needed the change because she didn't get her racket down behind her back

:51:43. > :51:50.at all, so that is clearly what she is trying to change. And to adjust,

:51:51. > :51:54.but she starts with a down behind her back. And then she opens her

:51:55. > :51:58.hand when she goes to start to swing and that's been the issue for her,

:51:59. > :52:00.when you open the hand and the racket head opens up, you don't get

:52:01. > :52:56.any racket head speed. They are going after this weaker

:52:57. > :53:04.serve, 75mph. They have a break-point.

:53:05. > :53:29.I would send the serve here to the Babos forehand.

:53:30. > :53:36.Looks in control Babos. It really is a wonderful backhand she owns, isn't

:53:37. > :54:07.it? She hits it with such conviction. So much confidence.

:54:08. > :54:15.A very nice contrast in style between the two teams. Babos and

:54:16. > :54:17.Mladenovic, much more powerful, whereas Vinci and Errani rely on

:54:18. > :54:23.guile and placement. And touch. Beautiful touch. Such an imposing

:54:24. > :55:00.figure at the net. Weapons -- well played. The backhand

:55:01. > :55:02.return from Vinci, just money. So consistent with it. Can hit it on a

:55:03. > :55:36.dime. It is not going to go hard. So much energy. Composing

:55:37. > :55:38.themselves. That not only helps your partner to stay up, but it also

:55:39. > :56:13.sends a message to your opponent. Well played. Really nice

:56:14. > :56:20.communication between this pair and they need it. They haven't played

:56:21. > :56:23.that much. Mladenovic spoke about how awesome this was that they were

:56:24. > :56:29.in a Wimbledon final, they played together as juniors.

:56:30. > :57:00.Vinci made the court smaller. They break again. When you have got one

:57:01. > :57:04.back, Tracy, the net player is always going to to look as if they

:57:05. > :57:09.are going to fake and the court does shrink. Absolutely. That point was

:57:10. > :57:14.won by Roberta Vinci. Look where she is. She is constantly distracting

:57:15. > :57:18.and moving. She is not set in one place. She starts to move and Babos

:57:19. > :57:27.feels she has little space to work with and hits it wide. Would the

:57:28. > :57:33.play for Babos be to nail one down the line to keep her honest? Either

:57:34. > :57:39.down the line or at the right hip. The Bryan brothers will do that

:57:40. > :57:44.frequently against their opponents. Jam your opponent, don't give them

:57:45. > :57:52.room to hit and deflect that volley. I wonder what thoughts for Marion

:57:53. > :57:55.Bartoli. I wish I hadn't retired? She is

:57:56. > :58:06.having a ball. Straightaway with the I-formation,

:58:07. > :58:26.Vinci, 4-1 and a double break. The other Italian server, Vinci, as

:58:27. > :58:31.compared to Errani, it is a beautiful, elegant serve.

:58:32. > :58:43.Nice. The fact she serves and volleys, it helps it already. The

:58:44. > :58:48.body weight moving forward. She's the throwback with the serve and

:58:49. > :59:02.volley on first and second. Great to see.

:59:03. > :59:16.That was not a bad return. Look where Vinci is when she hits that

:59:17. > :59:19.volley and how far out in front she makes contact. Body weight moving

:59:20. > :01:13.forward. The key to the poach is knowing

:01:14. > :01:17.exactly when to move. Errani moved just at the specific right time.

:01:18. > :01:31.There -- time there.

:01:32. > :01:45.So she called it well, just couldn't execute. Too big a swing.

:01:46. > :02:43.Mladenovic puts her hands up like "Of course that was in."

:02:44. > :02:48.The one thing that's fun to watch is that every single shot that the

:02:49. > :02:52.players hit, all four players will be moving. You never see anybody

:02:53. > :03:11.that's not involved just standing there.

:03:12. > :03:16.I think she gets that toss too far out in had front.

:03:17. > :03:47.Two double faults in a row to concede the break.

:03:48. > :03:56.28 minutes, so a head start. Babos and Mladenovic have to remind

:03:57. > :04:00.themselves, they have beaten the defending champions and French Open

:04:01. > :04:04.champions en route to the final. They mustn't panic yet. They must be

:04:05. > :04:08.feeling - where is there room to make inroads against the Italians? #

:04:09. > :04:44.Struggling on their own serves. There's an energy, there's a

:04:45. > :04:56.presence about Errani and Vinci, looking for this historic win today.

:04:57. > :05:32.The I formation does a couple of things. It makes Babos guess where

:05:33. > :05:36.she's going to return and if Vinci moves to her right, she will get a

:05:37. > :05:42.forehand, which she can hit with more authority.

:05:43. > :05:49.Vinci does not want a backhand to backhand pattern. She's not going

:05:50. > :06:16.win that against Babos frequently. ( Challenge. This is worth the

:06:17. > :06:21.challenge just because of the reaction of the Italians, to me.

:06:22. > :06:23.Yeah. Vinci needs to do a better job acting there. She should have just

:06:24. > :06:28.marched right towards the chair. I think Tracey would have been

:06:29. > :06:59.having a drink already! My feet up. Close, but ambitious choice when

:07:00. > :07:07.you're feeling a little tight. They keep momentum. No sign of

:07:08. > :07:11.nerves whatsoever for this very experienced Italian team, looking to

:07:12. > :07:18.become the first Italian team to win the Wimbledon doubles title.

:07:19. > :07:23.Complete the set too. Of all the four doubles majors, indoor match,

:07:24. > :07:28.the rain outside. Wonderful atmosphere. Love the echo.

:07:29. > :07:31.The echo of the ball, the clappingment

:07:32. > :07:46.-- clapping. Babos serving first again for their

:07:47. > :07:49.team. I just think her serve is a little

:07:50. > :08:01.more reliable. It's more powerful. Mladenovic much closer to the centre

:08:02. > :08:22.line than the trams. Look at the gap down-the-line.

:08:23. > :08:26.Mladenovic never looks back. It's all eyes forward. She wants to have

:08:27. > :08:52.her eyes on the opposite net person. That's what this team needs to do,

:08:53. > :09:18.take a few more risks, become more active at the net.

:09:19. > :09:23.They'll be discussing where she's going to serve, where Mladenovic is

:09:24. > :09:53.going to stand, which way she'll go. It's a start. They're level on the

:09:54. > :09:57.score board. And a decisive game as well, with some winners. Mladenovic

:09:58. > :10:32.doing a wonderful job covering the net.

:10:33. > :10:38.When I look at Errani's serve, I wonder how long she's been playing

:10:39. > :11:01.the game this long and still has such a flaw, a major flaw.

:11:02. > :11:08.She's got a great defender with her, though. She does, a perfect match.

:11:09. > :11:12.Errani is so consistent and can cover the court so well. Then Vinci

:11:13. > :11:39.is just smothering the forecourt. You see how Vinci hit the volley and

:11:40. > :11:40.then moved to her right just as Mladenovic was going to hit her

:11:41. > :12:11.backhand. It's a really interesting point you

:12:12. > :12:15.make about Sara Errani, because that year, 2012, when she played

:12:16. > :12:19.Sharapova in the French final. She finished that year at number six. It

:12:20. > :12:24.was phenomenal. The sudden flicking of that switch. We seem to talk

:12:25. > :12:27.about that a lot lately. Yet, when awe chief something great, difficult

:12:28. > :12:31.to move on from it. What was it like for you, when you came through so

:12:32. > :12:35.quickly so young? Due just think, right, that's in the bag, let's move

:12:36. > :12:39.on. Or did it take a while to adjust? It actually didn't. Growing

:12:40. > :12:48.up I was kind of always number one in my division in the 12s and in the

:12:49. > :12:55.14s. So the progression, I felt, was normal. Slowly, moved into the pros.

:12:56. > :13:01.Had some nice results, but I wasn't winning tournaments right away. I

:13:02. > :13:04.actually won my first tournament, a small ere vent. Then I was able to

:13:05. > :13:12.build up slowly and build up that confidence and get stronger

:13:13. > :13:16.physically. Both Roberta Vinci and Errani so much better in 2012 out of

:13:17. > :13:20.nowhere. It's great for Vinci, she was in her late 20s.

:13:21. > :13:41.Frank Lampard enjoying the tennis. Hope you've enjoyed the keepy-uppy

:13:42. > :13:45.that BBC has been showing, because Sara Errani is pretty much an expert

:13:46. > :13:47.on it too. I've heard she can do excess of 200? Yeah 300 plus, I

:13:48. > :14:05.think. Much better from Mladenovic/Babos

:14:06. > :14:09.team. Very solid serving. You don't need to serve quite as big in

:14:10. > :14:30.double. Just a high first service percentage.

:14:31. > :14:45.Just terrific reflexes and this is where it's so important for Sara

:14:46. > :14:47.Errani to keep her eyes forward and on the net person, racquet well out

:14:48. > :15:28.in front. It's pretty much flawless so far. It

:15:29. > :15:29.really is. Errani returning, mauving forward -- moving forward and

:15:30. > :15:59.continuing to apply the pressure. Fist pump from Vinci. She knows how

:16:00. > :16:24.big this point is right here. There was the puff of white. She's

:16:25. > :16:33.not convinced. UMPIRE: Call stands. Deuce. Terrific

:16:34. > :17:32.serve. That deserved a standing ovation.

:17:33. > :17:34.We've seen that more frequently from the friends and family box, standing

:17:35. > :17:46.ovation mid-matches. UMPIRE: Challenge to the call on the

:17:47. > :17:52.right service line, the ball was called in.

:17:53. > :18:05.UMPIRE: The call stands. Of course that was in (! ) Way in!

:18:06. > :18:24.That linesperson is to be commended, right?

:18:25. > :18:59.Mladenovic and Babos really struggle to make any inroads on the Vinci

:19:00. > :19:14.serve. Oh, my goodness! It's getting better

:19:15. > :19:35.and better. Two love service games in a row for

:19:36. > :19:42.the Italians. It's really difficult to control the ball with this much

:19:43. > :19:45.power and have this much accuracy. Very athletic, terrific balance and

:19:46. > :19:49.good technique. If you were either Babos or

:19:50. > :19:54.Mladenovic right now, a little bit nervous at the start, but for the

:19:55. > :19:57.most part, being outplayed, where do you go from here? I like the way

:19:58. > :20:02.they played their last two service games, where they were more

:20:03. > :20:07.consistent with their first serves, allowed them to be more aggressive

:20:08. > :20:14.at the net. So be consistent from the baseline. That's usually how

:20:15. > :20:20.they play, one up and one back. Make sure that net person is very active

:20:21. > :20:29.and alert. Trying to pick volleys off. Dame Kelly Holmes. Got over a

:20:30. > :20:30.few hurdles in her career and Mladenovic and Babos have got to do

:20:31. > :21:03.the same. Looking to get in, Vinci. Create

:21:04. > :21:06.that unit at the net. Absolutely. Always looking to move forward and

:21:07. > :21:10.you will get two very different returns from Vinci. The forehand

:21:11. > :21:11.will have penetration and topspin. The backhand will have slice or she

:21:12. > :21:28.will lob it. Babos is saying - not on my serve.

:21:29. > :22:09.I'm feeling so much pressure. They need luck. They're not getting

:22:10. > :22:11.any. Three more break points. These really could be the breaking

:22:12. > :22:24.points. 115mph! Out wide, that's tough to

:22:25. > :22:58.do. This is where Mladenovic has to keep

:22:59. > :23:17.Babos up. Yes, you're down a break point, but one point at a time.

:23:18. > :23:32.Ouch. Well, that's 1-1 on that front, Mladenovic two doubles in a

:23:33. > :23:56.row to concede her serve. That is very costly.

:23:57. > :24:00.Babos/Mladenovic have to think, OK, it's Errani's serve. We've broken

:24:01. > :24:16.once. She can't give cheap points like

:24:17. > :24:18.that particularly in this critical stage of the match. You're trying to

:24:19. > :24:53.hang in this final. Just lacking a bit of buzz, half a

:24:54. > :24:54.yard of pace compared to Vinci and Errani. Mladenovic trying something

:24:55. > :24:55.different, trying to come forward. She's just not as comfortable around

:24:56. > :25:13.the net. She has all the answers, all the

:25:14. > :25:18.anticipation. We don't see volleys like this in

:25:19. > :25:36.women's tennis, where the technique is just impeccable.

:25:37. > :25:51.UMPIRE: Challenge to the call, left baseline. The ball was called in.

:25:52. > :25:56.Is that a confident look, hands on hips? It was at the beginning, but

:25:57. > :26:03.You can't blame the umpire for missing that.

:26:04. > :26:08.It's the second time she's put her hands up like, are you kidding me,

:26:09. > :26:14.now she's She needs to be a linesperson at

:26:15. > :26:56.some stage. team work. You just feel like when

:26:57. > :27:01.one moves, the other one knows where they need to fill the gap. Playing

:27:02. > :27:08.with such tremendous energy and confidence. And a lot of that coming

:27:09. > :27:12.from fed cup too. Imagine the fun they've had on Fed Cup and the team

:27:13. > :27:17.work that goes into that. They're just gelling. They're like gloves.

:27:18. > :27:26.That's interesting, Italy has won the Fed Cup a number of times.

:27:27. > :27:36.These two ladies were on the bench for a while.

:27:37. > :29:06.Mladenovic serving to stay in the final.

:29:07. > :29:10.They've asked the serve it out question. This is the player they

:29:11. > :29:37.want on their team to serve it out. Overplayed it.

:29:38. > :29:41.Grand Slam title that Vinci and Errani won earlier this year in

:29:42. > :29:48.Australia, they were down 5-2 in the third. They came back and won. They

:29:49. > :29:56.won the last five games and that was just team work.

:29:57. > :30:06.They're in total control here. They really have been from the very

:30:07. > :30:17.start, breaking in the first game of the match.

:30:18. > :30:20.A little reminiscent of the singles final, rushing your opponent and all

:30:21. > :30:46.the answers. resistance!

:30:47. > :30:47.TRACY AUSTIN: She could have hit a forehand there, but chose a

:30:48. > :31:22.backhand. Now things tightening up a little.

:31:23. > :31:26.You have Babos, who would be serving next, the bigger serve and Errani

:31:27. > :31:31.would have to close it out if they don't finish it off here.

:31:32. > :31:37.What a time to produce your best serve!

:31:38. > :31:46.UMPIRE: Miss Babos and Miss Mladenovic are challenging the call

:31:47. > :31:52.on the right far side line. The ball was called in.

:31:53. > :31:59.Well in! The call stands. Historic point for the Italians. They have

:32:00. > :32:11.done it! They are pretty pleased about it,

:32:12. > :32:16.too! They have completed the set. They have now won all of the four

:32:17. > :32:26.major doubles championships. What a moment for them. Disappointment for

:32:27. > :32:31.Mladenovic and Babos. You can take nothing away from these two feisty

:32:32. > :32:41.Italians. They have played the most outstanding final. Such an

:32:42. > :32:50.impressive partnership. They mix so well together. Vinci more aggressive

:32:51. > :32:58.around the net and Errani is so consistent from the back-court.

:32:59. > :33:04.Personalities meshes well. They say, "Let's go celebrate with our team! "

:33:05. > :33:09.They have the gate this year. I love the gate. No point having any

:33:10. > :33:16.injured players after they take a Wimbledon title. What a moment for

:33:17. > :33:17.all the nearest and dearest, too. They regularly have breakfast

:33:18. > :33:35.together. An emotional moment for all of them.

:33:36. > :33:43.Friends, family. Historic moment for Italian tennis. First Italian duo to

:33:44. > :33:52.win the title here at Wimbledon. This is the best celebration in

:33:53. > :33:58.tennis. Winning a Grand Slam, that is where you want to play your best

:33:59. > :34:04.and then share it with your friends and family. This is why you spend so

:34:05. > :34:15.many hours on the court, so many hours in the gym. It is for this

:34:16. > :34:26.exact feeling. She is even picking up her racket - a bit of

:34:27. > :34:34.housekeeping! They are giants in the double game, winning all four, and

:34:35. > :34:40.Babos was a little nervous and it was the bigger server, but if they

:34:41. > :34:43.could play the match again, would Mladenovic start?

:34:44. > :34:51.I think so. To me, that is not where the problem lied. It was the fact

:34:52. > :34:56.that they were not consistent enough. Yes. And whether they were a

:34:57. > :35:03.little nervous because Babos, the first Grand Slam final, or whether

:35:04. > :35:06.the Italians just made them feel unsettled and rattled because they

:35:07. > :35:24.seemed to be everywhere on the court. That's a special moment. That

:35:25. > :35:29.is why Roberta Vinci was looking back. A special moment for them.

:35:30. > :35:34.They have shared everything on and off the court together. This is a

:35:35. > :35:40.moment to be cherished. Completing the Grand Slam set. And for

:35:41. > :35:47.Mladenovic and Babos, too. Mladenovic, of course, a terrific

:35:48. > :35:52.record in the Mixed Doubles, has experienced the Royal Box last year

:35:53. > :35:59.as the champions. There is something about Canada last year.

:36:00. > :36:19.And it is great that they are waiting for their fellow finalists.

:36:20. > :36:32.Mladenovic is still in the Mixed Doubles with Daniel Nestor. The

:36:33. > :36:35.men's doubles final is next. Remember Federer and Stanislas

:36:36. > :36:41.Wawrinka at the Beijing Olympics? A similar sort of celebration.

:36:42. > :36:46.Absolutely. Such a joy to be able to celebrate with someone. That makes

:36:47. > :36:50.it extra special. You can't rehearse those moments, can you? No. They are

:36:51. > :36:56.pure instinct. You don't know how you are going to feel, how you are

:36:57. > :37:05.going to react. Disbelief on Sara Errani and what she's achieved. So

:37:06. > :37:16.much - singles and doubles. For the pair of them, the cup is the Duchess

:37:17. > :37:22.of Kent Challenge Cup. Indoor final, the first Ladies' Doubles. The

:37:23. > :37:29.wonderful roof coming into its own and here they are. The familiar face

:37:30. > :37:33.to many of you, I'm sure, all England member. Ladies and

:37:34. > :37:37.gentlemen, the presentation of the Ladies' Doubles trophies will now

:37:38. > :37:42.take place in the Royal Box. The trophies will be presented by His

:37:43. > :37:50.Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, President of the All England Club.

:37:51. > :37:53.Ladies and gentlemen, the Ladies' Doubles 2014, the runners-up, Timea

:37:54. > :38:07.Babos and Kristina Mladenovic. Just their third Tour level

:38:08. > :38:11.tournament together, their 13th match as a team. Surely, they will

:38:12. > :38:37.give it another go. I'm sure some disappointment in the

:38:38. > :38:39.match - 56 minutes. But what a wonderful fortnight they have had

:38:40. > :38:48.together. They will always have these beautiful memories to cherish.

:38:49. > :38:53.The President of the French Tennis Federation adding his

:38:54. > :39:14.congratulations, Marion Bartoli as well. Jack Nicklaus, 18 majors. He

:39:15. > :39:17.has grass courts in his back yard. The Ladies' Doubles champion 2014 -

:39:18. > :39:19.Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci. Popular champions. Deserved

:39:20. > :39:39.champions. A wonderful performance in the

:39:40. > :39:44.final. SUE BARKER: The career Grand Slam,

:39:45. > :39:47.the one that was missing from the trophy cabinet, no wonder there were

:39:48. > :39:52.huge celebrations on Centre Court. Now, they have won them all. Well

:39:53. > :40:01.done to Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci. So, the Ladies Doubles has

:40:02. > :40:05.been completed. Earlier today, it was the Ladies' Singles Final. It

:40:06. > :40:09.was all about Kvitova. She had the game plan and it worked from start

:40:10. > :40:13.to finish. She never let her 20-year-old opponent into the match.

:40:14. > :40:17.The left-handed serve was swinging wide and she was dominating on the

:40:18. > :40:23.return, producing shots like that to win in straight sets 6-3, 6-0. It

:40:24. > :40:32.was over so fast it was the shortest ladies final since 1983 when Martina

:40:33. > :40:36.Navratilova beat Andrea Jaeger. Eugenie Bouchard gave everything but

:40:37. > :40:42.she didn't have the firepower that Kvitova had. So the champion of 2011

:40:43. > :40:46.is the champion once again and the way she played on Centre Court,

:40:47. > :40:52.surely there will be more if she can keep that standard of play up. So

:40:53. > :40:57.that was earlier on Centre Court. The Ladies Champion has been

:40:58. > :41:03.decided. Tomorrow, we look forward to the Men's Final.

:41:04. > :41:28.Just like Petra Kvitova, Djokovic won his only Wimbledon title in

:41:29. > :41:32.2011. Maybe there is a trend there. Roger Federer is looking for his

:41:33. > :41:35.eighth Wimbledon crown, that is the final tomorrow. We have noticed

:41:36. > :41:39.there is a trend here at Wimbledon. It really is the super coach, we

:41:40. > :41:45.have Andy Murray with Amelie Mauresmo, there is Marin Cilic

:41:46. > :41:52.having Ivanisovic, but in the final, it is not just Djokovic versus

:41:53. > :42:01.Federer, it is Boris Becker versus Stefan Edberg. Phil Jones has more.

:42:02. > :42:06.Ivan Lendl agreed to become Andy Murray's full-time coach. Within two

:42:07. > :42:15.years of that appointment, Lendl had helped Murray win his first Grand

:42:16. > :42:23.Slam. And then Wimbledon. And so a trend was born - the super coach.

:42:24. > :42:31.Boris Becker believes he and Novak Djokovic can achieve great things

:42:32. > :42:36.together... Roger Federer has added Stefan Edberg to his coaching

:42:37. > :42:43.staff... It is the little things, really. He doesn't need to teach me

:42:44. > :42:47.how to hit a forehand or a backhand. It is the small changes that can

:42:48. > :42:51.bring big rewards. These are no ordinary coaches. No long days on

:42:52. > :42:54.the practise court, no actual teaching but they have something

:42:55. > :43:03.that no coaching badge can teach you. I think we have been through

:43:04. > :43:07.moments, doubts, emotions, everything that maybe other coaches

:43:08. > :43:11.that are very competent as well didn't really feel or didn't really

:43:12. > :43:15.go through. For these guys, it is important for them to talk the same

:43:16. > :43:20.language. I know how he feels when he loses the match. How he is going

:43:21. > :43:28.to feel when he loses a big match. All these little things that only

:43:29. > :43:34.ex-players can feel. It will inspire me and maybe give me that one advice

:43:35. > :43:39.at the right moment to give me a peace of mind or really motivate me.

:43:40. > :43:44.We see more of an entourage these days as well. You have the hidden

:43:45. > :43:48.part, the coach, and some of the players feel they can extract so

:43:49. > :43:53.much out of themselves with a few more people around them. So maybe

:43:54. > :43:57.they aren't super coaches, perhaps they are Grand Slam gurus. I have

:43:58. > :44:05.been in the game. I have been here at Wimbledon. I have been in the

:44:06. > :44:08.same situation as he has. We talk about different things, different

:44:09. > :44:16.things that come into your mind and being more like a mentor, I guess.

:44:17. > :44:24.Having Boris on board will help. We are working working mentally to get

:44:25. > :44:28.myself in the right mindset. He knows what I am feeling and the

:44:29. > :44:33.challenges I am facing as a top player. The association between

:44:34. > :44:39.Novak and Boris and I am starting to understand it and embrace it more.

:44:40. > :44:43.Boris was such a big-match player and where Novak can make those

:44:44. > :44:51.incremental improvements, he can derive something from Boris. I take

:44:52. > :44:56.a different approach with Federer and Edberg. It is not to turn Roger

:44:57. > :45:03.into a serve-volleyer, that is not the goal. But it is to employ it at

:45:04. > :45:08.appropriate times. For Boris, it might be just a bit more of dinner

:45:09. > :45:12.conversation with Novak about how to approach certain moments in matches.

:45:13. > :45:18.We look at Djokovic and see a man with six Grand Slam titles. He looks

:45:19. > :45:23.in the mirror to see a player who has lost five of his last six major

:45:24. > :45:28.finals. He has almost everything but he wants more. And maybe the sight

:45:29. > :45:34.of Becker in his box can make the critical difference. The top players

:45:35. > :45:38.are looking for names that they are there already, they know what it

:45:39. > :45:43.takes, they know how it feels more than anything else. So that trend

:45:44. > :45:49.can continue when you sit in the box of your opponent, you want to have

:45:50. > :45:59.your guy as well. So if it works, who is next? Will we see Pete

:46:00. > :46:05.Sampras, Andre Agassi or Steffi Graf? Let's hope for the good of the

:46:06. > :46:08.game that we can keep the cycle of bringing back some of our former

:46:09. > :46:15.champions that have played on the men's side and the women's side

:46:16. > :46:19.because I think it will improve the level of tennis.

:46:20. > :46:23.SUE BARKER: Great to see so many wonderful champions back here at

:46:24. > :46:30.Wimbledon. I'm joined by Andrew Castle and John Lloyd. It is

:46:31. > :46:35.enjoyable and it is nice to see? Yes, Novak Djokovic, I have been

:46:36. > :46:40.speaking with him. He thinks there should be a substitution. He is not

:46:41. > :46:47.too sure it is going to work in his favour. Boris, with his hips and his

:46:48. > :47:08.screws in his legs, he is not much of a substitute. Stefan doesn't need

:47:09. > :47:19.me to teach me how to hit forehands or backhands. It does suck the

:47:20. > :47:25.breath out of your lungs. And to walk out on to this court on the

:47:26. > :47:29.biggest stage of all, somebody's been there before and you can trust

:47:30. > :47:32.what they say. It is the two days because they have two days from the

:47:33. > :47:35.semifinal through to the final and it is that waiting and the pressure

:47:36. > :47:39.that builds all the time of having someone in your corner there that's

:47:40. > :47:44.been there? I would certainly - I know what that is about. I was

:47:45. > :47:48.married to a decent player myself. And even the great players

:47:49. > :47:51.occasionally have doubts, you wouldn't see that by looking at them

:47:52. > :47:56.on the court because they bluff it. But they do. They have these

:47:57. > :48:02.champions in their corner to make that difference. And also you are

:48:03. > :48:09.beginning to see some little changes in their game and Boris and Stefan

:48:10. > :48:12.were an attacking, coming in and you are seeing that, even though it's a

:48:13. > :48:17.different grass court now? Absolutely. Novak has lost the last

:48:18. > :48:21.three Grand Slam finals that he was in. John is talking about

:48:22. > :48:25.self-doubt. He will get self-doubt, regardless of what he says or what

:48:26. > :48:29.beautiful veneer he has, he is going, "How come I have lost five of

:48:30. > :48:39.the last six and the last three I have been in?" With Edberg, he is

:48:40. > :48:42.helping Roger with when do I serve-volley, do I throw a second

:48:43. > :48:46.serve in? Tell me I can do that. Give me permission to do so. We are

:48:47. > :48:51.talking tiny margins, like a Formula One car, the slowest ones are about

:48:52. > :48:56.0.2 seconds at the back of the grid away from the front. So tiny

:48:57. > :49:00.margins. These guys are finely-tuned athletes. It is a different grass

:49:01. > :49:05.court - that sound as bit odd. It is so much slower now? It is different.

:49:06. > :49:10.It is a different composition and it plays differently. Also, with the

:49:11. > :49:14.combination that we are featuring with Edberg and Becker, the

:49:15. > :49:19.personalities mesh so well. Edberg is Mr Calm with Mr Federer, Mr Calm,

:49:20. > :49:27.Djokovic with Becker, fiery. It is a perfect match. They are in tune with

:49:28. > :49:33.each other. They are a perfect fit. Novak was one-year-old when Edberg

:49:34. > :49:38.and Becker played each other in '88. It is great. OK. I am going to stop

:49:39. > :49:43.you. The Wimbledon Champion, Petra Kvitova, has walked in the studio.

:49:44. > :49:51.So I will wheel these two out sharpish and get her in. While we do

:49:52. > :49:54.that, let's hear from Roger Federer after his semifinal win yesterday.

:49:55. > :50:00.This is my first Grand Slam finals as a father of four. It is super

:50:01. > :50:08.exciting. I am very happy that things are going well again for me.

:50:09. > :50:12.Last year was entirely difficult and a different kind of year, one that I

:50:13. > :50:17.have never gone through. I have gone through injuries in the past but

:50:18. > :50:22.they were short-lived. This one was dragging on and I wasn't sure how I

:50:23. > :50:25.was going to get out of it. I knew there was a way, through a lot of

:50:26. > :50:29.treatment, or a lot of exercises, or a lot of training, or just doing the

:50:30. > :50:35.right things at the right time. I feel like this one's a great feeling

:50:36. > :50:43.to be back in the finals that I see all the hard work has paid off, but

:50:44. > :50:47.clearly I'm so to the title I want one more win and have a vacation and

:50:48. > :50:51.my body can rest and I can have great family time. Right now,

:50:52. > :50:56.mentally, it is easy. One more and give it all you have and you hope it

:50:57. > :51:00.is enough at the end. A final word on your opponent, Novak Djokovic,

:51:01. > :51:03.how you match up to him. Two great champions on a great occasion. Yes.

:51:04. > :51:07.Your assessment of that? We have never played in the finals here at

:51:08. > :51:11.Wimbledon. It is a big deal for both of us. We have played US Open

:51:12. > :51:16.finals, I don't know if we have played in Australia. This is big for

:51:17. > :51:24.both of us. Any Wimbledon final is a big one. We both already have one so

:51:25. > :51:35.it's not like it's a must-win. It would be great for either one of us

:51:36. > :51:40.to get it done. I love this kind of match. There is a good chance for me

:51:41. > :51:46.to do something. We will see if Novak agrees or not. I'm sure that

:51:47. > :51:52.he will be coming out and he will perform very well. He won't be

:51:53. > :51:57.overwhelmed by the occasion. He has played well on the grass here. He is

:51:58. > :52:01.ahead of me in the rankings. He might be the favourite. Or maybe I

:52:02. > :52:05.am. I don't know because to have the history here. I think it will be a

:52:06. > :52:10.nice match and I hope we can both play really good tennis. Perhaps see

:52:11. > :52:13.a magical number eight at the end of it? That is my favourite number. It

:52:14. > :52:19.would be nice to get it done on Sunday. We wish you well. Thank you.

:52:20. > :52:22.We will see. He is going for his eighth Wimbledon title but Petra is

:52:23. > :52:28.here. She has won her second Wimbledon title. Has it sunk in? It

:52:29. > :52:34.is a beautiful number, it is better than one! Definitely, it is a great

:52:35. > :52:39.moment for me in my career. The first thing you came in and said,

:52:40. > :52:44."You made me cry." You were very emotional after that. It was all

:52:45. > :52:49.just sinking in when you were out on court? Definitely. I had a time to

:52:50. > :52:54.calm down when the roof was closing but still I mean it was really

:52:55. > :53:00.impossible to be normal without emotions and I think the emotion is

:53:01. > :53:06.part of that. I don't think that you made me cry, but I was already and

:53:07. > :53:12.that's everything what I did for that, a lot of hard work, a lot of

:53:13. > :53:17.things and up-and-downs and the criticism that I had during the

:53:18. > :53:22.three years, it was something that was tough for me. Maybe this made me

:53:23. > :53:26.stronger. Before we talk about today, talk about that and how hard

:53:27. > :53:31.it was. You talk about the criticism that you had after winning 2011?

:53:32. > :53:34.Yes, I think that everybody was just expecting that I was going to win

:53:35. > :53:38.everything and I was going to be number one. I was pretty close. It

:53:39. > :53:43.still means nothing in the tennis world. Every week, every day you

:53:44. > :53:47.have new challenge, and you imagine - it is very difficult to stay on a

:53:48. > :53:51.high level all the time. I had a lot of criticism but still I was still

:53:52. > :53:55.in the top ten, I made a good result, of course I was missing the

:53:56. > :54:01.Grand Slam title, now I have it, finally. So I hope the people will

:54:02. > :54:07.be a little bit more relaxed now and I am not doing it for other people

:54:08. > :54:17.but for myself and my team. They are still there. I am glad that I have

:54:18. > :54:20.these nice people around me. You are only 21, very young. You were thrown

:54:21. > :54:24.into that spotlight. You talk about the team, you talk about this match

:54:25. > :54:33.today. Could you play any better than that? I don't think so. That

:54:34. > :54:37.was the best match I played here ever. I knew what I had to go from

:54:38. > :54:44.the first point. I can't give her the time to push me and I have to be

:54:45. > :54:50.the one who pushed her. And that was the tactics. It was something

:54:51. > :54:57.special. I need to play my game to be successful here on the grass. My

:54:58. > :55:00.served worked very well today. Your serve was so good but you talk about

:55:01. > :55:04.trying to put the pressure on her serve and trying to do that. Your

:55:05. > :55:11.timing had to be spot on to be able get on her serve. Her serve is a big

:55:12. > :55:16.weapon? It is. I played semifinal against Lucie Safarova, she is

:55:17. > :55:23.left-hander, so it was a bit different. Definitely, I had a day

:55:24. > :55:27.off with practise with David, but still he can't simulate the same

:55:28. > :55:30.service that she had. I played her in Toronto last year and I know how

:55:31. > :55:34.the serve in and I know from second serve I should go to her to put the

:55:35. > :55:43.pressure from the return and I did it. I mean, I had few mistakes from

:55:44. > :55:48.there. It was important to still be there and do that. Some of those

:55:49. > :55:54.backhand cross-court winners that you brought up were outstanding.

:55:55. > :55:58.Yes, it was. Normally, I am playing winners from the forehand. She was

:55:59. > :56:02.still pushing me to the backhand. I was trying to do everything that I

:56:03. > :56:08.can from the backhand and I know that my backhand cross-court is one

:56:09. > :56:14.of the good weapons that I have and I did it. We could pick many of them

:56:15. > :56:15.out. Let's enjoy match-point. You will be living this. You will be

:56:16. > :56:21.dreaming about this tonight. This was just such a wonderful

:56:22. > :56:27.point. This is what you are talking about, putting the pressure on her.

:56:28. > :56:41.Look at this. Wow. How good did that feel? How good did THAT feel? Much

:56:42. > :56:51.better! Yeah. Oh. I don't have words to describe it. I mean, in a moment,

:56:52. > :56:57.I feel so happy. I don't care what was match-point. I won the last

:56:58. > :57:00.point and Wimbledon and that is it for me. ? Last time you won

:57:01. > :57:05.Wimbledon, I don't think your dad stopped crying for hours, did he?

:57:06. > :57:11.How has he been this time? He was in tears in the box again today?

:57:12. > :57:14.Everyone in the box cried. So it is not only about my father, everybody

:57:15. > :57:23.was so happy. He is the one that started you off. He helped you fall

:57:24. > :57:27.in love with this game? Definitely. He with my mum made me actually so

:57:28. > :57:30.I'm sitting here because of them. You didn't, when you started playing

:57:31. > :57:38.you didn't dream of playing professionally? No, I didn't. It was

:57:39. > :57:44.something that I liked to play. I didn't really think I could be a

:57:45. > :57:47.professional tennis player. And I wasn't watching the tennis on the

:57:48. > :57:53.TV, I saw Martina when she was winning here and that was something

:57:54. > :57:58.that I liked to be on the court, my brothers played as well. It was like

:57:59. > :58:06.a hobby for me. I am glad that it is still a hobby for me. I love to play

:58:07. > :58:11.tennis. I had a good result. I work hard. I'm here. How lovely it was

:58:12. > :58:17.that they could be there to see you today win the final? It was

:58:18. > :58:22.definitely great. 2010, they came as well, to watch me with Serena on the

:58:23. > :58:28.Centre Court. That was something special for me. The next year, I

:58:29. > :58:32.invited them for the final. I didn't want them for the semifinal because

:58:33. > :58:40.I lost that year so I wanted them to come for the final and I just did

:58:41. > :58:48.great that year and I knew that if I invited them again, it would be here

:58:49. > :58:51.for the final. It is a lovely family occasion. For people at home, you

:58:52. > :58:55.have won so easily, you have only dropped a set coming through to the

:58:56. > :58:59.final. Talk about how emotionally drained you feel at all the pressure

:59:00. > :59:04.that you have had? It was very difficult. Every match what I

:59:05. > :59:09.played, I had to be mentally ready for everything. Every match was

:59:10. > :59:13.difficult. I played first round against Czech girl, I played three

:59:14. > :59:19.Czech girls in the tournament. It was very, very tough mentally. To

:59:20. > :59:23.be, I am like first Czech and now the Czechs are going so well, it was

:59:24. > :59:30.like oh my God, this is very good tournament for us. Of course, I

:59:31. > :59:34.wanted to win. It was more taking energy from me. It was very

:59:35. > :59:38.difficult. Against Venus, it was a great match and maybe from that time

:59:39. > :59:42.I was, like, OK, if I can hold this match, I mean I can play well. I

:59:43. > :59:48.didn't think that I can really win all the things, but I was, like, it

:59:49. > :59:53.was a great match, I won it, I was patient, and that is it. David and

:59:54. > :00:00.you worked out that plan and I hope you do it for many years to come.

:00:01. > :00:05.Enjoy the Champions' Dinner tomorrow. Thank you. Thank you. We

:00:06. > :00:10.are heading back to Centre Court, another final is on. It is the Men's

:00:11. > :00:15.Doubles Final on court. It's the Bryan brothers, they are looking for

:00:16. > :00:16.another Grand Slam title, they are up against Vasek Pospisil and Jack

:00:17. > :00:36.Stock. Let's join this match. to get on the board.

:00:37. > :00:43.Yeah, and for Mike Bryan, a really auspicious start, came up with two

:00:44. > :00:50.beautiful touch volleys. The first one especially difficult, kind of an

:00:51. > :00:56.off backhand drop volley. That will help settle him.

:00:57. > :01:04.The defending champions, the Bryans, up against Vasek Pospisil and Jack

:01:05. > :01:26.Sock. They've never experienced anything quite like this.

:01:27. > :01:30.Unseeded US/Canadian combination into the final against all the odds

:01:31. > :01:33.much they've beaten bigger names, playing together for the first time,

:01:34. > :01:35.a couple of weeks before Wimbledon, they weren't sure they would be here

:01:36. > :01:47.and look where they are now. That's what Mike does best. He puts

:01:48. > :02:30.returns into play. Pospisil is the slightly taller of

:02:31. > :02:35.the two with the pink logo on his white kit.

:02:36. > :02:51.Pospisil, the Canadian, 24 years old.

:02:52. > :02:55.Jack Sock hardly slums it. He grew up in the midwest and he reckons

:02:56. > :03:08.that Las Vegas is home at the moment If the Bryans can continue to put

:03:09. > :03:10.returns of serve back into play, as they have in this first game, it

:03:11. > :03:38.will be a real test for this pair. That's one of the best return games

:03:39. > :03:47.these guys maybe have played in their careers. Every return back

:03:48. > :04:17.low. Pospisil and Sock both possess very

:04:18. > :04:48.powerful forehands. I tell you, how many points have the

:04:49. > :04:54.Bryans won this week, this part night -- for the night on reaction

:04:55. > :05:03.volleys -- This fort night on reaction volleys?

:05:04. > :05:29.That will cheer the duo on the other side up.

:05:30. > :05:35.A North American theme to this year's men's doubles final, two from

:05:36. > :05:55.the USA together, another alongside a Canadian.

:05:56. > :05:58.Intermittently they've played some great points. Can they string a

:05:59. > :06:54.couple together? I commentated on their first-round

:06:55. > :07:08.match. If there was a weaker serve, it was Mike's.

:07:09. > :07:15.Well, that's no insult, to say that Mike has the weaker serve of these

:07:16. > :07:28.two. Bob still possesses a bomb.

:07:29. > :07:31.A familiar routine at these championships. Bob trying to coax

:07:32. > :07:45.Mike and his serve over the line. To balance things out, Mike is

:07:46. > :08:26.probably the better returner. Still culture shock to see a guy

:08:27. > :08:41.like Jack Sock take a bouncing lob and hit a forehand off it.

:08:42. > :08:50.There is the break back. This duo has come from nowhere this

:08:51. > :09:08.n these championships to this final. That game will help this pair

:09:09. > :09:15.immensely. Just to get back on serve, become competitive again,

:09:16. > :09:18.they look like they're enjoying it. They spent their entire Wimbledon

:09:19. > :09:23.enjoying it, Peter. There's never been a smile far from their faces.

:09:24. > :09:30.It started out as a bit of fun. Now it's a bit more than that.

:09:31. > :09:37.They've never lost sight of the fact they may as well enjoy themselves.

:09:38. > :09:42.They only came together accidentally. Pospisil, who's had a

:09:43. > :09:46.back injury, certainly in the early part of year, forced him to withdraw

:09:47. > :09:49.from the Australian Open in January, wasn't entirely sure. He wasn't sure

:09:50. > :09:55.if he was fit, in the end, he thought, why not. They've had a ball

:09:56. > :10:28.together. They might yet end up as champions.

:10:29. > :10:36.We'll see that a lot. Jack Sock often prefers, on the second serve,

:10:37. > :10:48.to stand back and just wail on forehands.

:10:49. > :11:31.At every opportunity, the Bryans will be hutling the net. -- hustling

:11:32. > :12:10.the net. Yeah that's a return that Bob Bryan uses these days.

:12:11. > :12:28.That's a dangerous position to be sitting.

:12:29. > :12:54.You can't nod off if you're in the far right-hand corner.

:12:55. > :14:26.That second serve, only 91mph but it had so much work on it.

:14:27. > :14:33.Two 36-year-olds, born on the same April day, California, 1978. They

:14:34. > :14:43.grew up sharing a love tennis. Never had to look far for someone to play

:14:44. > :14:48.with. Ever since they started to play this sport, seriously, they've

:14:49. > :14:56.just rewritten the record books in terms of all the numbers, the

:14:57. > :15:01.statistics that matter. They grew up in a tennis-playing family. Dad

:15:02. > :15:06.Wayne was a teaching pro. You won't find a more effusive guy. He's so

:15:07. > :15:13.enthusiastic about tennis. He gives clinics around the world. Really an

:15:14. > :15:16.energetic, wonderful guy. Mum, Kathy, played here several times.

:15:17. > :15:19.She was on the tour for several years. So, they grew up with a

:15:20. > :16:36.racquet in their hands. David McPherson. He's the coach of

:16:37. > :17:04.the Bryans. I was hearing that every spare

:17:05. > :17:07.moments he has at tournaments like, this he's out watching other

:17:08. > :17:11.pairings, just in case, they're up against the Bryans at some time in

:17:12. > :17:14.the future, taking notes, looking at how they play, where they move, what

:17:15. > :17:38.the tactics might be. Well, so far, this has been a really

:17:39. > :18:57.high quality doubles match. Jack Sock sees out the game at the

:18:58. > :19:01.net. I think Pospisil especially will be pleased to hold in a

:19:02. > :19:37.somewhat straightforward manner. He dropped serve initially.

:19:38. > :19:41.Yeah Pospisil doing a great job. Any time Sock goes to hit the forehand,

:19:42. > :20:03.Pospisil is in to intimidate. There's got to be just a little bit

:20:04. > :20:20.of worry going through the Bryan's mind.

:20:21. > :20:58.The worry is that Pospisil and Sock are younger, stronger, quicker.

:20:59. > :21:02.Mike Bryan, who dropped his serve first up, a little bit of a battle

:21:03. > :21:35.here. They are such a barrier together at

:21:36. > :22:06.the net. You don't see that happen often,

:22:07. > :22:11.crossed wires. I'm not sure what Bob was trying to do. Was he trying to

:22:12. > :22:13.get out of the way, in the end he was like, "Yours", but he forgot to

:22:14. > :23:23.shout. Still under the roof. It slid across

:23:24. > :23:28.pretty much as soon as the winning point was hit in the women's final

:23:29. > :23:30.and Petra Kvitova was celebrating, before the presentation, they put

:23:31. > :23:35.the roof across because the rain was on the way. The roof has stayed in

:23:36. > :23:37.place. For a while Centre Court was the only place around the complex

:23:38. > :23:42.that we had play. In the nick of time too, I might

:23:43. > :23:47.say. I was commentating on a junior match on Court 3, and thought, what?

:23:48. > :23:51.They're closing the roof for the ceremony, what royalty doesn't want

:23:52. > :23:56.to get wet or something? Within three minutes, the rain started

:23:57. > :24:00.coming down. Wise decision. They've got hi-tech computers, they know

:24:01. > :24:02.exactly where and when it's likely to start raining. They got that spot

:24:03. > :24:19.on. There are showers forecast this

:24:20. > :24:23.evening. It would have been very awkward if it had started raining

:24:24. > :24:28.and they were in the middle of the presentation. What do they do, clear

:24:29. > :24:31.everybody off the court to put the covers on? New balls. Jack Sock on

:24:32. > :24:51.serve. Sock has never played at Wimbledon

:24:52. > :25:20.before this summer. Here he is on the final on Centre Court.

:25:21. > :25:24.That was sublime. He would have been aware that the Bryans were crowding

:25:25. > :25:50.the net. Which of these two duos have

:25:51. > :25:58.dominated the sport for the last decade, Peter? Pospisil and Sock?

:25:59. > :26:20.Nervous, daunted? Doesn't look like it.

:26:21. > :26:23.Familiar pattern being established here. Bob Bryan racing through this

:26:24. > :27:32.service game. It's a big deal for these two today,

:27:33. > :27:35.not just because it's a Wimbledon final and therefore, it's always a

:27:36. > :27:42.big deal. This time last year, they were on their way to holding all

:27:43. > :27:51.four Grand Slam tightles. One by one -- titles, one by one they've gone

:27:52. > :27:57.from them. Beaten in Melbourne at the beginning of this year. In the

:27:58. > :28:03.quarter finals at Roland Garros, as well. If they lose this one, they

:28:04. > :28:10.won't be able to call themselves Grand Slam champions anywhere.

:28:11. > :28:18.Is there a hint of extra pressure on them, today? Perhaps. Although they

:28:19. > :28:25.have been dominant on the ATP World Tour. The next level down, so I

:28:26. > :28:30.don't think anyone can make an argument for the thought that

:28:31. > :28:32.they're starting to decline. They're still right at the top of

:28:33. > :29:00.their games. Second Canadian to experience a

:29:01. > :29:02.Centre Court final today. Eugenie Bouchard ought to be completing her

:29:03. > :29:23.media duties. Every indication that this third

:29:24. > :29:27.final of the day will be significantly longer than the first

:29:28. > :29:29.two. The women's match 55 minutes, the

:29:30. > :31:49.Ladies' Doubles 56 minutes. That's Mike Bryan most comfortable

:31:50. > :31:57.service game so far. They are guaranteed a tie-break at least.

:31:58. > :32:03.Things have settled down into a predictable rhythm. All four players

:32:04. > :32:05.are possessors of big serves so breaks were never going to be that

:32:06. > :32:18.straightforward. SUE BARKER: We are leaving our

:32:19. > :32:22.coverage here on BBC One. We will start very soon over on BBC Two in

:32:23. > :32:25.just a minute when we will continue coverage of this match. We have also

:32:26. > :32:29.got a semifinal of the Mixed Doubles still to come. Plenty to look

:32:30. > :32:33.forward to on BBC Two. Tomorrow, though, it is the Men's Final. It is

:32:34. > :33:02.game on! If you want to find out what that

:33:03. > :33:05.was all about, do tune in to our opening at BBC One at 1.00pm for

:33:06. > :33:09.more. We are looking forward to this. Novak Djokovic against Roger

:33:10. > :33:14.Federer. Djokovic, the champion in 2011. Federer looking for his eighth

:33:15. > :33:20.Wimbledon title. That is tomorrow. Today, though, the ladies' champion

:33:21. > :33:24.was crowned. Petra Kvitova is champion once more. The left-handed

:33:25. > :33:28.serve was superb, but so were her returns. She totally dominated the

:33:29. > :33:36.final against Eugenie Bouchard. She will have her day, no doubt. Today

:33:37. > :33:41.was all about Kvitova.
