:00:45. > :00:50.The rain fell at Wimbledon on Tuesday and Wednesday, leading

:00:51. > :01:01.players and spectators frustrated. But yesterday, the All-England Club

:01:02. > :01:09.came alive on a day of drama. What a stunning result this is. Annika Beck

:01:10. > :01:16.has won an extraordinary match against Heather Watson. A tour de

:01:17. > :01:20.force from Andy Murray. The number three seed, by the skin of her

:01:21. > :01:28.teeth, goes through to the third round.

:01:29. > :01:41.And it is a brilliant Jeannie Bouchard putting out the number one.

:01:42. > :01:46.One of the stars was Dan Evans, his second victory has set up a centre

:01:47. > :01:52.star... Court meeting against Roger Federer. A truly convincing victory,

:01:53. > :02:01.probably the best two hours of his tennis career. Good afternoon, it

:02:02. > :02:05.was a good day yesterday, we lost 18 seeds from the men's and ladies, the

:02:06. > :02:12.highest to forward the world than the team as last year's finalist,

:02:13. > :02:15.Muguruza stop we said goodbye to two of Britain's leading ladies, Heather

:02:16. > :02:20.Watson and Jo Konta, but Andy Murray sales through and will be back on

:02:21. > :02:28.court tomorrow, which leaves centre stage today, Britain's number four,

:02:29. > :02:34.Dan Evans. He is making his third round debut and will try to succeed

:02:35. > :02:42.where Marcus Willis failed. He takes on seven time champion Roger Federer

:02:43. > :02:45.on Centre Court. Novak Djokovic continues his title defence having

:02:46. > :02:52.not lost in a Grand Slam for over one year. Hoping to avoid joining

:02:53. > :02:57.the list of fallen seeds is the other reigning champion, Serena

:02:58. > :03:03.Williams. Their sister, Venus, is back on the big stage as she makes a

:03:04. > :03:10.swift return on Court One. The last Britain standing in the women's draw

:03:11. > :03:16.is Tara Moore. Awaiting her is a tough encounter with grand slam

:03:17. > :03:20.champion Svetlana Kuznetsova. A mouthwatering clash is underway

:03:21. > :03:24.between two grand slam champion 's, Stan Wawrinka is taken on Juan

:03:25. > :03:26.Martin del Potro, who makes a welcome return to Centre Court after

:03:27. > :03:38.his injury nightmare. So, we will see what is on Centre

:03:39. > :03:44.Court, first it is Del Potro against Wawrinka, then Serena Williams

:03:45. > :03:50.defending against Racine Mchale, and Federer and Evans is your late

:03:51. > :03:56.afternoon entertainment, under the roof. Serena Williams is taken on

:03:57. > :04:01.another talented 19-year-old, Daria Kasatkina. She had to come through a

:04:02. > :04:06.doubles match yesterday. Djokovic takes on the big server, Sam Querrey

:04:07. > :04:13.from the US, and another big server, Milos Raonic. Other matches we are

:04:14. > :04:19.keeping an eye on, and we hope it gets underway, Nick Kennedy asked

:04:20. > :04:24.against dust and Brown, two of the great entertainers. -- Nick Kyrgios

:04:25. > :04:30.against dust and Brown. Tomas Berdych is the final finalist, and

:04:31. > :04:38.Svetlana Kuznetsova against Tara Moore, Britain's last woman standing

:04:39. > :04:42.on Court three. It is a relief big day for Britain's Dan Evans, here he

:04:43. > :04:49.is looking relaxed along with his coach, Mark Hilton. He was ranked

:04:50. > :04:53.763 last, now he's in the top 100, he has won two matches and is on

:04:54. > :04:58.Centre Court to face Roger Federer. What a difference 12 months makes.

:04:59. > :05:02.Here's claggy cars, he's always one to watch. Away from the controversy,

:05:03. > :05:09.he is an outstanding player -- claggy cars. He takes on dust and

:05:10. > :05:13.Brown. And Tara Moore, the gritty player and she will need that went

:05:14. > :05:18.you take some Kuznetsova, she is the last British woman in the

:05:19. > :05:22.championship. I mention the roof on Centre Court, because you can see

:05:23. > :05:25.what is happening. Players were on court ten minutes ago, we were

:05:26. > :05:29.hoping to start but another shower has come through, the covers are

:05:30. > :05:33.back on and they have to wait very patiently to stop we have little

:05:34. > :05:38.play, only two minutes of play so far, and they were due to get

:05:39. > :05:42.underway at 11, study spectators having to be patient at Wimbledon.

:05:43. > :05:46.Let's find out if they will be rewarded with some plate, let's go

:05:47. > :05:57.to the lady who knows all the answers, Carol Kirkwood. What will

:05:58. > :05:59.happen? There is a bit of cloud, we're not out of the woods, it is

:06:00. > :06:02.still producing spots of rain, just enough to cause disruption. As you

:06:03. > :06:05.go through the afternoon, it will brighten up and by the time of

:06:06. > :06:11.evening, we will be seeing sunshine. There is to risk of shower, but

:06:12. > :06:15.through the afternoon, that risk continues to diminish. As for

:06:16. > :06:19.tomorrow, we're looking at a fair few showers likely, around about

:06:20. > :06:24.lunchtime, but through the afternoon, once again that risk will

:06:25. > :06:28.diminish and we will see a bit more sunshine. A lot more play, we're

:06:29. > :06:33.looking at more dry weather and wet weather through this afternoon and

:06:34. > :06:38.also tomorrow. That is wonderful news, thank you, Carol. Tell them

:06:39. > :06:43.all on Henman Hill, they will be thrilled to hear that. We will get

:06:44. > :06:48.some play, the covers are all on the outside court, but this is what is

:06:49. > :06:53.happening on number one. They are playing, and Venus Williams, the

:06:54. > :06:58.five-time champion, is taken on Daria Kasatkina. If they continue

:06:59. > :07:04.playing in the drizzle, we will join that match on BBC Two in just a

:07:05. > :07:09.moment. But we are going live to Centre Court, under the roof, it is

:07:10. > :07:13.Stan Wawrinka against Juan Martin del Potro, 6-3 Wawrinka took the

:07:14. > :07:15.first set, it is on serve in the second. Let's join John McEnroe and

:07:16. > :07:28.Mark Petchey. Del Potro was under pressure in the

:07:29. > :07:33.last game, but gets a platform here to try and attack the Wawrinka

:07:34. > :07:40.serve, he's had a couple of chances, unable to take them so far.

:07:41. > :07:48.You are never sure whether Wawrinka, he can at times blow hot and cold.

:07:49. > :07:59.JOHN MCENROE: He was hanging around, Del Potro, to let's hope he can size

:08:00. > :08:06.things up and play up to his ability.

:08:07. > :08:11.The question is, what is that ability now? If he does play well,

:08:12. > :08:24.what more does he have the offer? I mentioned he served pretty well,

:08:25. > :09:03.his forehand could be hit better, but other than that... There we go.

:09:04. > :09:14.UMPIRE: Wawrinka challenging. It was called out.

:09:15. > :09:47.You can see why he challenged. Agonisingly close for Wawrinka.

:09:48. > :10:00.That return is like 100 in the world return. He is a big guy, Wawrinka

:10:01. > :10:02.likes to kick that serve, he can stepping closer, attack it. Just

:10:03. > :10:25.pushing it to the centre of court. At least he took that earlier, it

:10:26. > :10:47.took a bit of time away from Stan, still mid-court shot.

:10:48. > :11:27.What a let down that while some Wawrinka, and well played, Del

:11:28. > :11:32.Potro, for keeping himself in front of this second set and not falling

:11:33. > :11:38.behind the pressure. The bit of pressure seemingly getting to

:11:39. > :11:45.Wawrinka. Ireland he had the chance to get a break and didn't capitalise

:11:46. > :11:49.-- I remember. You don't want to wake of a bed that has been in

:11:50. > :12:14.hibernation for a while. This gentleman from Argentina.

:12:15. > :13:12.He is awake himself up, come on, I have a chance, I am in this.

:13:13. > :13:46.He will get himself involved in that game to recover the break, Del Potro

:13:47. > :13:55.moving away with the game. He was able to shrug off, if you looked at

:13:56. > :14:01.that game at 15-30 when he had that easy forehand, that could have been

:14:02. > :14:05.15-40, still at a break stop it you let your concentration and death, it

:14:06. > :14:12.seems to me the one surprise I have looking at his game plan is he seems

:14:13. > :14:18.to be going as big, so consistently, it doesn't seem he would need to go,

:14:19. > :14:24.take that type of risk against Del Potro. Certainly be backhand or

:14:25. > :14:30.expecting the run down. He is feeling some tension too. Doesn't

:14:31. > :14:33.look at the moment there's a big change in terms of how he's trying

:14:34. > :14:38.to play on the grass this year at Birmingham. We've talked about

:14:39. > :14:43.Richard Krajicek becoming involved. We are not seeing him get to the

:14:44. > :14:46.net, and attack the backhand side, there's not as much pace coming

:14:47. > :14:50.offered from the Argentinian. It feels it could have been a strategy

:14:51. > :15:00.which would have won him points. Feels like... He looked up as if

:15:01. > :15:11.they gave him the wrong game plan. He is delaying the break. It is

:15:12. > :15:15.tough being up in that box. It is warning up, that box, as the

:15:16. > :15:18.cornermen progresses. Each round gets a little hotter underneath. --

:15:19. > :17:13.tournament progresses. APPLAUSE

:17:14. > :17:17.I'm not sure any players would want to take on the crosscourt forehand

:17:18. > :17:23.with Del Potro, but Wawrinka fancies his chances. Especially if Del Potro

:17:24. > :17:32.is on the run, because there is little chance he will get back in

:17:33. > :17:41.the court. He does even bigger. Seems humanly possible, but it is

:17:42. > :17:45.hard to make a lot of those. The Argentinian had to change frame

:17:46. > :17:53.after a long time staying with that racket which won him the US Open.

:17:54. > :18:01.Still the same manufacturer, but he was playing with three rackets she

:18:02. > :18:35.had to string every time. A little bigger. Federer has done that.

:18:36. > :18:49.You wonder how much that racket, with the string, contributed. He was

:18:50. > :19:07.at the finals with an old school racket.

:19:08. > :19:20.Massive, too good from Wawrinka. It seems right moment here when the was

:19:21. > :19:47.mis-hit, attack that beautifully. APPLAUSE

:19:48. > :19:54.Not the cleanest volley, just the point added to his account. You can

:19:55. > :20:07.see his imposing presence up there, he tightens in close to the net,

:20:08. > :20:15.there's Wawrinka to lob. The shot was the idiot placed that lob over

:20:16. > :20:20.his head. -- this shot was there. UMPIRE: Wawrinka challenges shot.

:20:21. > :20:26.That is what he thinks of his opinion.

:20:27. > :20:44.Big point. You can understand why he challenged. He steps further back

:20:45. > :21:05.and takes a bigger swing, he hasn't done that here yet. Very bad return.

:21:06. > :21:15.He is thinking, if I don't get that end, I have no hope.

:21:16. > :21:23.He has a fairly big swing on that forehand, traditional, find some

:21:24. > :21:25.further in the baseline than he needs to be, giving himself time to

:21:26. > :22:01.swing the ball. The type of exchanges we sought

:22:02. > :22:23.regularly in that epic semifinal three years ago with Djokovic.

:22:24. > :22:33.So good, the tennis has ended its best stage of the match, both

:22:34. > :23:12.players playing as well as they can. -- entered.

:23:13. > :23:20.The biggest serve of the tournament on a big point from Del Potro, 130

:23:21. > :23:25.into the body, and this would be a body blow for Wawrinka. Within

:23:26. > :23:49.touching distance of getting the break back.

:23:50. > :23:52.He is doing exceptionally well, given that limitations on that

:23:53. > :24:27.backhand, Del Potro. He tosses that ball forward, the

:24:28. > :24:28.opponent must feel like he's awfully close to you when he hits that

:24:29. > :24:44.serve. It is not his fault bag of tricks,

:24:45. > :24:48.but he's playing with that full intensity you need.

:24:49. > :24:57.And for the neutrals, that is a good scoreline. Del Potro just one game

:24:58. > :25:03.away from levelling up this second-round clash. Two wonderful

:25:04. > :25:07.players. While that is something he brings onto the Centre Court other

:25:08. > :25:13.players wouldn't have done, the ability to play big points well. We

:25:14. > :25:18.talked about Wawrinka being out here three times, Del Potro himself has

:25:19. > :25:24.been out here six times prior to this clash. John, you asked me the

:25:25. > :25:30.other day, so I thought I should go and find out how many Roger had

:25:31. > :25:39.played on this court. It is 71 ahead of today. That is amazing. That is

:25:40. > :25:49.what Dan Evans has in front of him. And very much at home on this court,

:25:50. > :25:54.as these two so for. Got to check what the all-time record is. Pete

:25:55. > :26:00.Sampras must be there. You keep throwing me trivia questions. That

:26:01. > :26:06.is Saturday taking care of. That is good. You don't want to have too

:26:07. > :26:14.much free time. Del Potro career Grand Slam record is 64 in 26. That

:26:15. > :26:18.would have been a heck of a lot better if the hand missed so much

:26:19. > :26:47.time -- hadn't have. Even if he could occasionally take

:26:48. > :26:59.it with two hands, that would be helpful to his cause.

:27:00. > :27:07.Out of there, he reached with the two hands, that is a good sign. He

:27:08. > :27:14.looked up, wait a second, we could be all level here. Certainly an

:27:15. > :27:24.awful lot brighter, which is why everyone is clapping.

:27:25. > :27:33.There is a lot of players clapping in the locker room, eager, anxious.

:27:34. > :27:38.Second and third round matches which are being played on the outside

:27:39. > :27:44.courts. That was just a little sloppy with his feet, Wawrinka. He

:27:45. > :27:58.has lost his edge, concentration to a degree and that has cost him.

:27:59. > :28:05.Well, he mops it up, and that is the area you feel with the way Del Potro

:28:06. > :28:11.has his backhand, you can drift and with his serve. It has forced Del

:28:12. > :28:26.Potro to put the left hand on the racket.

:28:27. > :28:33.That is the hardest he has hit one so far, and gives him set point. He

:28:34. > :29:08.used the left hand a little bit. It would appear this second set is

:29:09. > :29:12.out of Wawrinka's reach, as is the ball, and credit to Del Potro who's

:29:13. > :29:20.not sure if it got a bit of the line or not. Oh, it has, can you believe

:29:21. > :29:22.it? Wawrinka already setting down, has had to bounce back up. Can he

:29:23. > :30:56.bounce back? Reprieve. UMPIRE: Game Wawrinka.

:30:57. > :31:06.APPLAUSE. The prove everybodyial get out of jail free card is still in

:31:07. > :31:09.this set. Till in this set. -- the proverbial get out of jail free card

:31:10. > :31:32.is still in this set. An anxious look there, is this set

:31:33. > :32:12.slipping away from him perhaps? Don't jump to conclusions quite yet.

:32:13. > :32:22.He is serving well, hitting the spots. Not a lot of aces, just four,

:32:23. > :32:27.but he's up at 81% right now. It's tough to break a guy when he's

:32:28. > :32:59.getting that many first serves in. APPLAUSE.

:33:00. > :33:36.Probably the only person who isn't happy winning that second set is

:33:37. > :33:46.Stan Wawrinka. It's been a long row back for row

:33:47. > :34:56.Is there a player in your generation, John, that remind you of

:34:57. > :35:00.Stan in terms of the fluctuations that you see at timeses with him?

:35:01. > :35:08.Not necessarily in matches but throughout the course of a season,

:35:09. > :35:14.that was this good? Maybe not quite as good, but Johan was a smaller

:35:15. > :35:21.version, but very, very powerful. Very up and down. Won two Grand

:35:22. > :35:30.Slams. Two Australian Opens, semis of the US Open. In Bjorg two sets to

:35:31. > :35:35.love in the semis way back then. Stan's gotten noticeably better.

:35:36. > :35:40.Mentally, his swings aren't as wide. His dips aren't as low as they used

:35:41. > :35:56.to be. To me that's thanks to Norman. 83% of your first serves in.

:35:57. > :36:02.You're 6-6. It's probably... To I alluded, and talked about it

:36:03. > :36:07.earlier. These guys come in. They are so well prepared. So aware what

:36:08. > :36:21.they need to do to get off the mark quickly. You don't want to give away

:36:22. > :36:25.anything as top players. He is a notoriously slow starting over the

:36:26. > :36:30.years. You have to add in, you haven't been there, the tension of

:36:31. > :36:39.not having played a Grand Slam match in two-and-a-half years. Not being

:36:40. > :36:44.on this court for three years. Those are factors that have to be dealt

:36:45. > :36:49.with. Here we are in this whole new match. It will be interesting to see

:36:50. > :36:58.if the crowd starts to rally behind. See who wants it more, who can deal

:36:59. > :37:02.with the stress certainly given his uncertainty about his fitness not

:37:03. > :37:10.knowing how long he can go, would be happy that it's only been an hour

:37:11. > :37:15.and ten minutes on a grass court. This becomes more mental than

:37:16. > :37:21.physical. The last four games of that second set, you got the sense

:37:22. > :37:29.that both were playing to their full capabilities out there. Wawrinka off

:37:30. > :37:35.the leash early on. It will be interesting how this third set pans

:37:36. > :37:37.out. Lots of looks for Wawrinka. Getting his focus back between the

:37:38. > :38:12.lines. To me he was much sharper. Hitting

:38:13. > :38:16.the ball cleaner early. He's gotten tentative and uncertain here.

:38:17. > :38:24.Bordering on careless. A couple of big serves to get his

:38:25. > :38:58.game going again. That's another ball he seemingly

:38:59. > :39:01.played harder than he needed to. This would be perfect for quick

:39:02. > :39:19.break. He's done a great job there, del

:39:20. > :39:24.Potro, getting the ball back in the court. It has to be said allowing

:39:25. > :39:34.Wawrinka to self destruct to some degree. How many tough shots did del

:39:35. > :39:43.Potro hit in that game? How many shots did Wawrinka? None. This boy

:39:44. > :39:48.feels thankful. Right now, del Potro has been gifted that break. But

:39:49. > :39:54.again good recognition for him, get the ball into court, don't overplay

:39:55. > :39:58.situations if you don't have to. He knows Stan's temperament. I'm sure

:39:59. > :40:01.he is aware how he's been chatting away and looking up to Richard and

:40:02. > :40:45.Magnus. APPLAUSE. There was almost an intake

:40:46. > :40:51.of breath as del Potro sets up that forehand. He hasn't really gotten

:40:52. > :40:54.going yet. If he can get the A game on that shot, it's going be fun to

:40:55. > :42:00.see. Didn't anticipate they would trade

:42:01. > :42:47.early breaks. Stunning shot down the line.

:42:48. > :42:53.Beautiful and a great reaction from Wawrinka as well. As it was after

:42:54. > :42:58.dropping his opening service game. Been wallowing a little bit in that

:42:59. > :43:05.second set, but he strikes back straight away here in the third. You

:43:06. > :43:09.just got an indication of how much better he is mentally than before

:43:10. > :43:17.that he was able to brush that one off. He's won a couple of slams.

:43:18. > :43:36.It did look like he was heading in the wrong direction there.

:43:37. > :44:43.14 forehand winners to none for del Potro. Yet here we are, dead even.

:44:44. > :44:54.Those high defensive lobs are tough to hit in the air even more so when

:44:55. > :44:58.you have to deal with the sun and the wind. Seems like it would be

:44:59. > :45:30.easier to let the ball hit the ground. Size it up.

:45:31. > :45:38.That's the del Potro here, correctly standing to his left off the return

:45:39. > :45:43.and not letting that ball get away from him. Setting himself up

:45:44. > :45:48.beautifully. This would be unbelievable, three straight breaks.

:45:49. > :45:50.Not only his first forehand but his first ground stroke winner of the

:45:51. > :46:38.match. APPLAUSE. Great exchange tweeze

:46:39. > :46:44.these two. WHITE Great exchange tweeze these two. -- between these

:46:45. > :47:17.two. Couldn't quite make the adjustment in time.

:47:18. > :47:40.APPLAUSE. Dropped ambitiously. It is a third space break from this third

:47:41. > :47:48.set. We are all wanting to see what he will do. Looked like he was going

:47:49. > :47:54.to take a good rip at it. Standing too far back. Almost will to

:47:55. > :47:59.anticipate this shot that he isn't going to hit it that hard. That's

:48:00. > :48:07.easier said than done with his forehand. He did reach for it.

:48:08. > :48:12.Needed something deeper and harder. The unpredictability of it is

:48:13. > :48:47.benefitting del Potro right now. Maybe from Stan's point of view he

:48:48. > :48:50.missed a bit of a trick in that. Stan's blocked that return back off

:48:51. > :49:10.the first serve. You sense both guys are having

:49:11. > :49:14.trouble playing up to their ability. The stress of waiting, this is a

:49:15. > :49:18.second round match. Whoever wins this, if the other match is finished

:49:19. > :49:43.will have to come back and play again tomorrow.

:49:44. > :49:52.APPLAUSE. Occasionally sliced that ball off the line. He has to keep

:49:53. > :50:32.Stan a little bit off balance. Pretty much can't hit a serve right

:50:33. > :50:52.in right now. Can't be another break.

:50:53. > :51:04.Apparently there's a real possibility there could be. Not

:51:05. > :51:54.enough spin on the ball from del Potro's point of view. Travels long.

:51:55. > :52:07.Out! UMPIRE: Game, Mr Del Potro. Four

:52:08. > :52:15.straight breaks of serve. It is pretty hard to adjust. This is

:52:16. > :52:22.rather surprising, to say the least. Four breaks in a row. It's one of

:52:23. > :52:28.the reasons that del Potro doesn't serve and volley because Stan

:52:29. > :52:32.doesn't block it? If he inside the service line, it's always a low

:52:33. > :52:35.volley for a guy of his size? That's true, but at times he could sit and

:52:36. > :53:26.bounce. He's got options. APPLAUSE. Great perseverance from

:53:27. > :53:32.del Potro. Good discipline. You can see that slice is most effective on

:53:33. > :54:01.this court. It will Skidmore than it would on clay or a hard court.

:54:02. > :54:26.Out! APPLAUSE.

:54:27. > :54:43.Making it look easy to hold serve. It hasn't been so far in the third

:54:44. > :55:06.for either man. Beautiful. He's had a bit of work

:55:07. > :55:10.done on his right hand. It's hard work for Wawrinka to get himself in

:55:11. > :55:16.front in the third set by three games to two. John, you have an

:55:17. > :55:19.Academy. I'm interested to know what your thought processes is in terms

:55:20. > :55:24.of technique. Look at these different forehands. Look at how

:55:25. > :55:28.Stan takes the racquet back and turns the face inside out. You can

:55:29. > :55:33.see the side he is going to hit the ball back is showing right now on

:55:34. > :55:39.the left for Wawrinka. And if we look at del Potro, it is old school,

:55:40. > :55:45.with the racquet face a lot flatter. Is it the case you just let players

:55:46. > :56:06.in general work out what works for them, in your opinion

:56:07. > :56:12.It would be interesting for the players, and I'm sure they have and

:56:13. > :56:17.do, even the old school guys, to try to hit it different ways to find

:56:18. > :56:29.what your comfort level is. How much you have to change that. Jack Sock

:56:30. > :56:41.has incredible spin on the forehand. I'm not sure how he does it, how

:56:42. > :56:46.that quest stays in one piece. The revolutions of his ball, more spin

:56:47. > :56:53.than even Nadal in the forehand. So that take-back has got to be

:56:54. > :57:00.extreme. All these players have this firmer, better grasp. Thicker grass

:57:01. > :57:38.to thank for they couldn't do it with the older court.

:57:39. > :57:51.Nice adventure into the net from Wawrinka. The game plan was to

:57:52. > :57:52.sprint forward, cut it off. If you execute your shot, hit it where you

:57:53. > :58:27.want to, you will win the point. Crushes it, not put a real dent in

:58:28. > :58:37.Del Potro's dreams right now as well.

:58:38. > :58:50.Hard-pressed to find anyone who can hit a backhand than that.

:58:51. > :59:16.He says, do I get to point? Is it that bad a challenge?

:59:17. > :59:29.UMPIRE: Mr Wawrinka has two challenges. He still has the record

:59:30. > :59:40.for the worst record ever against Roger.

:59:41. > :59:51.He has got to be nervous about challenging again. Del Potro, go

:59:52. > :00:05.ahead. He is having fun out there at least.

:00:06. > :00:19.A mini opening at 15-30, shot firmly in his face by Del Potro.

:00:20. > :00:28.He is serving a much better these days, but Del Potro wasn't actually,

:00:29. > :00:32.for somebody of his size, the stronger shot, but moved the action

:00:33. > :00:47.out to claim the weapon which has been for him.

:00:48. > :00:53.I'm just happy to see him take on a serve which has some velocity and

:00:54. > :02:07.try to hit it with two hands. A pivotal sets, getting to the

:02:08. > :02:14.business end of it. Exciting times. You can see why it is important for

:02:15. > :02:20.Del Potro to put something adequate on that backhand, because if he

:02:21. > :02:24.doesn't, even though that net is a few inches higher over the high

:02:25. > :02:30.point, going up the line, it makes that shot for Wawrinka easier to

:02:31. > :02:34.pull off. That is really the shot we've seen that has gotten him back

:02:35. > :02:40.in the set and in the lead, to take that one hander, that exquisite

:02:41. > :02:47.thing of beauty he has of the line and head Del Potro, forced him to go

:02:48. > :02:56.for a low percentage beforehand. It is a cat and mouse game, continues

:02:57. > :03:04.the stress level. Trying to hone in each of's game, get the edge. Get to

:03:05. > :03:09.this critical third set in the lead, Del Potro's record. This is a guy

:03:10. > :03:18.who hasn't had a major in two years, his five set a record in his career

:03:19. > :03:29.is for macro in nine is thinking, this is a much bigger set for me

:03:30. > :03:35.than Stan. It is not great, but played a lot more, 23 wins, 19

:03:36. > :03:36.losses in five set matches. Certainly the fitter man at the

:03:37. > :05:19.moment. Tough to time the ball, that is for

:05:20. > :05:44.sure. Sitting in amazement to watch the

:05:45. > :05:47.buzz -- velocity you see out here. Feel like the return is as hard as

:05:48. > :06:42.the serve. Well played, when he hits the ball

:06:43. > :06:49.like that, looks to attack. That forehand needed to be handled better

:06:50. > :06:55.than Del Potro did there. Paid the price, looked like an easy game.

:06:56. > :07:00.Back at deuce. Maybe chip and take one of those short balls, he is 6-6,

:07:01. > :07:52.he has some good hands. Well, it looked like Wawrinka was

:07:53. > :07:57.buried, he's only been in there a times, five of eight is Del Potro.

:07:58. > :08:42.-- eight times. Awkward hold a serve than he would

:08:43. > :08:45.have liked. He is in the top ten most recently, this would have been

:08:46. > :08:54.a match played typically in this round of 16 quarters, before Stan

:08:55. > :09:06.Wawrinka became Stan Wawrinka. Just starting to find himself.

:09:07. > :09:15.This is great played by Stan. Not only does he go and headed

:09:16. > :09:40.one-handed, but heat doesn't hit it that. Easily cut off by Wawrinka.

:09:41. > :09:54.He is saying it is too late for the Del Potro challenge. He's always had

:09:55. > :10:00.a tendency to challenge late, but to be fair to him, that was 122 out

:10:01. > :10:02.wide. That seems unfair, they let these players have an awful lot of

:10:03. > :10:14.time. Hopefully it didn't matter. It was

:10:15. > :10:18.confirmed by Hawk-Eye it was in, not that he knows that. He would like

:10:19. > :10:43.to, though. The bear coming out of hibernation

:10:44. > :11:14.slowly and surely. The ball was low, the shot was flat.

:11:15. > :11:32.He is 6-foot six, get the back little stiff.

:11:33. > :11:47.Perfectly placed serve. Perfectly poised set of tennis. Wawrinka hangs

:11:48. > :11:51.onto a serve. The nice style, we been talking about a few patterns of

:11:52. > :11:57.play perhaps Wawrinka that he could have done more of. Getting to the

:11:58. > :12:02.net, perhaps he could have explored it. We have seen this backhand, he

:12:03. > :12:07.knows is ball is going to go cross-court if he attacks it would

:12:08. > :12:14.that type of venom. He knows it is going to be sliced. Is there any way

:12:15. > :12:20.for Del Potro to disguise that a little longer? It makes it rather

:12:21. > :12:29.straightforward for Wawrinka there. Trying to dip it and get it low, but

:12:30. > :12:37.gave it away too easily. Stan Wawrinka is feeling some nerves,

:12:38. > :12:44.this is stressful to have the former US champion. The upside big ever Del

:12:45. > :12:49.Potro at the moment in his career, more desperate to get himself back

:12:50. > :12:57.on track, in the rankings. Just to emphasise that, we were talking he

:12:58. > :13:06.has gone down the line 4%. A lot has been set by the fact, to me, we said

:13:07. > :13:12.he needs to be willing to take that down the line. That is a say that

:13:13. > :13:19.shot across court, but that is way too many times, way too often. It

:13:20. > :13:29.will catch up to him, you would think. Especially with a guy like

:13:30. > :13:31.Stan, who is hitting those forehands. The line is more open,

:13:32. > :14:31.you have to test him. That is the one that got him before.

:14:32. > :14:56.Trying to figure out how he hates it so hard. -- hits.

:14:57. > :15:04.Just keep turning it over, you want to get more spin. He seems to be

:15:05. > :15:40.able to get spin quite easily. That forehand, the way he hit his

:15:41. > :15:59.last couple. Wawrinka there. He went in with some heat, second serve.

:16:00. > :16:11.Sensational pass, inch perfect. Wawrinka would have benefited from

:16:12. > :16:19.it. Volley shorter, here it comes again. He hit it too deep, a place

:16:20. > :16:49.well Del Potro had a shot to execute.

:16:50. > :17:18.APPLAUSE Excellent hold at a difficult time

:17:19. > :17:35.for Wawrinka. Just one more, solid hold from Del

:17:36. > :17:40.Potro, and we see ourselves and a third set breaker. We looked at the

:17:41. > :17:46.straw when it came out, we said, oh, my goodness, Del Potro and Wawrinka

:17:47. > :17:50.second round. This is what we were hoping for because there's been some

:17:51. > :17:56.serious qualities, pretty major stress, you can feel it. You can get

:17:57. > :18:01.a good idea at what a stake that these two, to try to make it to the

:18:02. > :18:07.next day. Tomorrow they will have to play again. Sense of urgency,

:18:08. > :18:12.especially this guy who doesn't have a good buy set record, that see if

:18:13. > :18:18.he can pull this third set out, who hasn't played in a single Grand Slam

:18:19. > :18:25.event in two and a half years. This is where it will get a little dicey

:18:26. > :18:30.for him. I suppose on the flip side, John, quite a bit of pressure for

:18:31. > :18:38.Wawrinka that he needs to take care of Del Potro today. He is the form

:18:39. > :18:41.player at the moment. This man desperately searching to regain the

:18:42. > :18:51.form that saw him get in the world's top five. We have seen glimpses of

:18:52. > :18:56.it today. The last time to Grand Slam champions met here was in 2008,

:18:57. > :19:20.married Marat Safin bid Novak Djokovic. The

:19:21. > :19:43.best he has hit the forehand in the last ten minutes.

:19:44. > :20:01.Considering these guys traded breaks in the first four games, and end up

:20:02. > :20:56.being decided by a tie-break... And that will be a big one.

:20:57. > :21:11.Amazing that Del Potro refuses this slice. Hold on, game and not over.

:21:12. > :21:48.Still some work to do for Del Potro to get to this tie-break.

:21:49. > :22:01.A tie-break which will separate these two, as you would expect,

:22:02. > :22:11.Wawrinka has played more this chip, 18, he has won 12, Del Potro has

:22:12. > :22:16.played seven, he has won three. For Wawrinka, tie-breakers haven't been

:22:17. > :22:22.the best form of this board for him, he's won 106 to nine but lost 101.

:22:23. > :22:27.For a while last year, he was in deficit but went on in nine winning

:22:28. > :22:39.streak which lasted until March, when he lost to Goffin, which pushed

:22:40. > :22:44.his account into the positive. The big four, however, ahead of him,

:22:45. > :22:51.they have had markedly better tie-breaker records and in their

:22:52. > :23:16.career compared to Wawrinka. That is some quality serving from

:23:17. > :23:38.both men at the start of this. The pendulum swings much quicker, in

:23:39. > :23:43.this particular juncture in the set. Started with fluctuations with

:23:44. > :25:04.4-macro straight breaks. Unexpectedly predictable, he should

:25:05. > :25:10.be able to slice that effectively of the line, but he get away with it

:25:11. > :25:20.there. Tight, got it a little bit late. Del Potro at the mini service

:25:21. > :25:34.break at the edge. You could cut the tension with a knife right now.

:25:35. > :25:47.To reflect serving continues in the tie-breaker for Del Potro -- to if

:25:48. > :25:52.you put yourself in Wawrinka's shoes, he has got to be thinking, if

:25:53. > :25:58.I don't hit it perfectly, it is in to the Del Potro forehand. That is

:25:59. > :26:02.true, which would lead be believe it is not a great idea to move into it.

:26:03. > :26:20.You know what you're going to get. Del Potro had been serving down the

:26:21. > :26:32.line, the guessing game continues, where will he go?

:26:33. > :26:43.He stuck to the old faithful, and it worked out well for him. You don't

:26:44. > :26:48.want to be in Warwick's position when he is looking at Del Potro

:26:49. > :26:50.hitting a forehand there -- Wawrinka. Big trouble for Wawrinka

:26:51. > :27:20.now. Untimely to say the least, double

:27:21. > :27:31.fault from Wawrinka, four set points for Del Potro.

:27:32. > :27:50.UMPIRE: Mr Wawrinka challenged the call. The ball is called out.

:27:51. > :28:07.Time ends to what was a pulsating set of tennis and it is Del Potro

:28:08. > :28:17.who catches it. Against the former it is Del Potro who leads by two

:28:18. > :28:21.sets to one. You gotta hand it to... This guy is going to be absolutely

:28:22. > :28:29.disgusted that he left this opportunity to slip away. And for

:28:30. > :28:34.this gentle giant, you gotta feel good that he's persevered, that he

:28:35. > :28:40.competed hard, even with some limitations. You can sort of get a

:28:41. > :28:49.glimpse of how and why he was so good and such a difficult obstacle

:28:50. > :28:55.and opponent. That forehand started to really hum. He really, you could

:28:56. > :29:01.see his confidence with that shot rising. If he can just get the brain

:29:02. > :29:05.working just a little bit more clearly, become a little less

:29:06. > :29:15.predictable, it's going to make him that much more dangerous. He's

:29:16. > :29:23.already in a position to create a big upset. He wouldn't have been

:29:24. > :29:29.before. I think if Del Potro is discussing the fact has he was not

:29:30. > :29:39.able to get that challenge about four or five games ago, which

:29:40. > :29:46.obviously is ancient history now. Just keep himself composed, get out

:29:47. > :29:50.a little bit of anxiety while Wawrinka takes the bathroom break.

:29:51. > :29:55.Tries to get his act together. More of the same really for Del Potro. It

:29:56. > :30:00.is up to Stan to have to change his game a little bit. Or does he have

:30:01. > :30:10.to play his game better do you think, John? This has become

:30:11. > :30:13.extremely mental and edgy. Del Potro has done his best to get Wawrinka to

:30:14. > :30:21.do more than he needs to. Is he going to be able to pull back that

:30:22. > :30:31.little bit and, dare I say it, play a little safer? Not cut back on the

:30:32. > :30:37.unforced errors? Take a look. If he can find that you've got Wawrinka,

:30:38. > :30:42.35, he's got double the amount of errors. Just doesn't seem like he

:30:43. > :30:48.needs to go that big. Especially, he could pepper the backhand He doesn't

:30:49. > :30:52.have to go to Del Potro's forehand. Del Potro is looking to run around

:30:53. > :30:59.it. How about using a drop shot, bringing Del Potro into the court?

:31:00. > :31:04.Which he clearly doesn't want to do. He has hit 91 serves. He has not one

:31:05. > :31:09.time served and volleyed. So that would lead me to believe he is not

:31:10. > :31:16.looking to move forward. This would be a good way to create uncertainty

:31:17. > :31:21.with Juan Martin Del Potro as far as movement, as far as his comfort,

:31:22. > :31:34.because this is the type of match he lines to play. He unsettles you,

:31:35. > :31:39.which is understandable. The way he uses that forehand. The serve is

:31:40. > :31:43.solid. A moment taken by Wawrinka to try to compose himself. His hopes

:31:44. > :31:52.and dreams in these championships are hanging by a bit of a thread

:31:53. > :31:57.right now. If Del Potro takes the lead, gets the serves, he can add

:31:58. > :32:06.further stress ander pressure on the Wawrinka.

:32:07. > :32:22.UMPIRE: The fourth set, Juan Martin Del Potro to serve.

:32:23. > :32:41.Played a four-setter against Ryan Williams in the Australian Open in

:32:42. > :32:56.2014, which he won in four and then lost Agut four or five years ago.

:32:57. > :33:11.Look at this year, even the best of three matches, has he played any

:33:12. > :33:38.long matches? Played a three-set straight set win

:33:39. > :33:47.here. He lost 6-0 in the third to Simone. Gilles Simon has played one

:33:48. > :33:59.over three-set match. I think it's a pretty safe bet to

:34:00. > :34:01.say he has not one single time been on a court longer in two-and-a-half

:34:02. > :34:35.years than he has right now. That's what Stan tried to do there,

:34:36. > :35:01.bring him in. I suspect you are going to see more of that.

:35:02. > :35:15.That match was two hours and four minutes, so this is the longest he's

:35:16. > :35:37.been on a active court for a long, long time.

:35:38. > :35:44.Just seems like a bad shot, high up the line of the double hander to Del

:35:45. > :35:49.Potro. Just feels like a safe with a way to go. Gives himself another

:35:50. > :36:00.easier ball to play. Trying to fight fire with fire at times, Wawrinka.

:36:01. > :36:12.APPLAUSE. That was absolutely well played. It's easy to sit here and

:36:13. > :36:17.say what you should do. As a coach or as fan or a commentator, but when

:36:18. > :36:22.you see a guy come to net that seldomly. And that's a pretty big

:36:23. > :36:28.point to start the set. You've got to at least make the guy hit a

:36:29. > :36:32.volley, right? Make them earn it. He looks as though he is a bit cloudy

:36:33. > :36:36.out here with his thinking, Wawrinka. Hasn't got that clarity he

:36:37. > :36:41.started the match with. Seems to be second guessing himself. That short

:36:42. > :36:45.play was a beautiful play. Del Potro did absolutely... He missed one

:36:46. > :36:53.outright and the other one he just floated. Seems like that could be

:36:54. > :36:55.successful. UMPIRE: Mr Wawrinka challenged the

:36:56. > :37:17.call. The ball is called out. UMPIRE: Mr Wawrinka has two

:37:18. > :37:56.challenges remaining. APPLAUSE. If I were Wawrinka I would

:37:57. > :37:58.pretend I was playing doubles. I wouldn't even bother covering the

:37:59. > :39:38.line. A far more composed rally at the end

:39:39. > :39:46.of that game with Wawrinka. He's on the board in the fourth.

:39:47. > :39:54.A two-hander return coming out for Del Potro that time round. He's got

:39:55. > :39:58.to really focus right now on his own service game, stay in front, get

:39:59. > :40:03.this thing closer to the end of the set, where there is going to be

:40:04. > :40:18.major pressure on the number four seed.

:40:19. > :40:33.Goes to that centre service line but uses his height nicely the find the

:40:34. > :41:10.angle, hit his spots. A lovely blend on his serve today,

:41:11. > :41:23.Del Potro. Moving it around, just enough to keep Wawrinka honest.

:41:24. > :41:34.That was wayward. Del Potro takes a 2-1 lead. He also has a two sets to

:41:35. > :41:39.one lead. STUDIO: And what a comfortable hold

:41:40. > :41:44.that was for Del Potro. We'll be on Centre Court in a moment. Plenty of

:41:45. > :41:50.play happening elsewhere. Over on Court Number One, Venus Williams has

:41:51. > :41:57.taken the first set against Darya Kasatkina. She lost four games in a

:41:58. > :42:01.row and was made to work for it. The five-times champion is one set up.

:42:02. > :42:07.That's live on BBC Two. They've got play under way on the outside courts

:42:08. > :42:12.as well. Nick Kyrgios against Dustin Brown. This one is on the Red

:42:13. > :42:19.Button. Two great entertain ers. It is close on the opening set. On

:42:20. > :42:25.number two court on the Red Button. Up to 15 courts available online, on

:42:26. > :42:31.the website and the app. Tomas Berdych is on court three facing

:42:32. > :42:36.Benjamin Beck ber. 3-2 he leads and that match you can see online.

:42:37. > :42:41.Lovely to see the blue sky around Wimbledon and the rain moving away.

:42:42. > :42:47.By the tournament as it stands, there are still 16 second round

:42:48. > :42:50.matches to be finished here today. The tournament committee, they

:42:51. > :42:53.haven't made a decision yet, but they are discussing potentially

:42:54. > :42:58.playing on Sunday. Of course, a lot has to be discussed. They've got to

:42:59. > :43:01.look at what gets finished today, the forecast tomorrow. The forecast

:43:02. > :43:05.for next week, and if they are going to bring everyone here on Sunday

:43:06. > :43:08.they have to make sure the weather is good as well. It is being

:43:09. > :43:12.discussed, possibly, a Sunday being played. But no decision as yet. Back

:43:13. > :43:39.we go. Out! APPLAUSE. If you were paying for a

:43:40. > :43:43.ticket today John, that Kyrgios-Brown, is that worth a few

:43:44. > :43:48.dollars? I'm absolutely positive there is not a seat available there.

:43:49. > :44:13.Some serious entertaining going on. Kyrgios to me can win slams.

:44:14. > :44:22.APPLAUSE. He's getting his act together. This guy has gotten better

:44:23. > :44:27.as the match has gone on mentally. The forehand has had more of an

:44:28. > :44:40.impact. For him it makes sense. He hasn't played a lot of tennis.

:44:41. > :44:49.If he's in a situation like he is there, he will probably let some

:44:50. > :44:52.games go by. Maybe the smart thing to do for him right now, keep those

:44:53. > :45:16.legs fresh. Out! He's got a little traction

:45:17. > :45:49.early on in this game, Wawrinka. Can he capitalise on it?

:45:50. > :45:57.Perhaps harder for Wawrinka to get that ball right on to the backhand

:45:58. > :46:03.of Del Potro off the return. I wonder if he'll try a low slice up

:46:04. > :46:15.the line himself. He hasn't done a great deal of that either, Wawrinka.

:46:16. > :47:09.You feel if he can keep playing points like that, distracts him that

:47:10. > :47:15.way without much discipline, there is only going to be one winner. Keep

:47:16. > :47:19.waiting for Del Potro to mix things up. He has so far been adamantly

:47:20. > :48:06.against that idea. How good was that?!

:48:07. > :48:12.CHEERING. How good does he feel about being on this court? You

:48:13. > :48:13.talked about his predict ability, but edict ability, but look at the

:48:14. > :48:58.score - he's winning. APPLAUSE. He is perhaps feeling he

:48:59. > :49:01.had to hit it as close to the line as he could to keep it wide. Del

:49:02. > :49:14.Potro edges ahead in the fourth. We talked a lot about how the

:49:15. > :49:20.surfaces, we see the minor celebration for Del Potro, had

:49:21. > :49:23.become similar, but we do still see that different surfaces produce

:49:24. > :49:28.different strategies. Look at Novak. In the French he was slicing the

:49:29. > :49:32.ball about 15% of the time. He is above 40% here at wibble on the. Ut

:49:33. > :49:35.15% of the time. He is above 40% here at wibble on the. You can see

:49:36. > :49:40.-- here at Wimbledon. You can see Del Potro is keeping the ball low on

:49:41. > :49:49.the grass. Tell Steve Johnson the American that. He has a two-hander

:49:50. > :49:56.he struggles with. He is in the third round here. He's driving

:49:57. > :49:59.people crazy with that shot. Del Potro, it is understandable, it is

:50:00. > :50:03.desirable to use a slice backhand. It is clear the ball can move

:50:04. > :50:09.through the court, stay low if nothing else. Give you time to set

:50:10. > :50:15.up your bigger weapon, but he's going to be in more of a danger if

:50:16. > :50:26.he is able to mix it up a little more. God forbid hit a drop shot.

:50:27. > :50:29.Able to mix it up a little more. God forbid hit a drop shot. Imagine how

:50:30. > :50:44.good - I can imagine, he could be top ten in the world.

:50:45. > :50:51.Once again it is a little brighter than it has been throughout this

:50:52. > :50:52.context. Is a little brighter than it has been throughout this context.

:50:53. > :50:59.-- contest. If they open the roof in the next

:51:00. > :51:15.match, there could be a quick delay. Did you see that? He can hit it and

:51:16. > :51:34.he hit it well. Stan moving to his left and

:51:35. > :51:37.expecting, anticipating the slice across court. Had to change gears.

:51:38. > :52:22.Surprise, surprise. CHEERING. Oh! Unusual to get the

:52:23. > :52:34.ball by a guy 6 foot 6. He is loving this. He is so happy. An important

:52:35. > :52:37.match. The Grand Slam. Can't ask for any more from him, Centre Court at

:52:38. > :52:43.Wimbledon. You can see where his forehand is,

:52:44. > :53:43.he's got more on it than Stan. What a time to deliver that. It

:53:44. > :54:10.keeps him in this fourth set, potentially keeps him in the match.

:54:11. > :54:19.He's in a rush to try and finish the point isn't he? Pressure mounting on

:54:20. > :54:50.Wawrinka. UMPIRE: Advantage Del Potro.

:54:51. > :54:59.CHEERING. Gutsy, courageous from Wawrinka, who hasn't hit that shot

:55:00. > :55:01.spectacularly well all the time today, but when he needed it, he

:55:02. > :56:10.found it. That is big time. That was the absolutely sweet and

:56:11. > :56:27.correct shot for him to hit there. Beautiful play by Wawrinka.

:56:28. > :56:42.Some points are bigger than others and a couple of break points saved

:56:43. > :56:46.by Wawrinka there. Cast their mind back to the first set. Wawrinka was

:56:47. > :56:51.very much on top. The match started to turn around there. We may well be

:56:52. > :56:59.looking back in another hour and saying, that was where Wawrinka

:57:00. > :57:04.saved this particular encounter. He's always had a spectacular

:57:05. > :57:07.backhand and he needed on that second break point, ripped that one

:57:08. > :57:57.hander up the line. That's going to keep Del Potro a

:57:58. > :58:00.little more honest if he can find that shot. He won't be able to get

:58:01. > :58:43.his forehand into play at all. Del Potro is starting to hit that

:58:44. > :58:48.two hander more frequently. Slowly but surely getting more on it. He

:58:49. > :58:51.must have seen how effective that one slice up the line was. Wawrinka

:58:52. > :01:12.was moving forward. Measured to perfection! Not too many

:01:13. > :01:15.lobs are going to get over it that man, especially when you are on the

:01:16. > :01:21.defence, as he was. It's interesting. It might put more

:01:22. > :01:28.stress on Wawrinka, knowing when the ball is coming. It's sort of like

:01:29. > :01:33.reverse psychology. OK. This is where it is going to be but you have

:01:34. > :01:37.got to do something, you feel like it is getting to him a little bit. A

:01:38. > :01:43.couple of things that he doesn't tend to do. Drive returns, he cannot

:01:44. > :01:48.get into the backhand of top truck quickly of a first or second serve

:01:49. > :01:53.because he blocks it. He has been a little on willing to put the ball on

:01:54. > :02:02.the backhand side and say, on, pass me. Five times, ten times. Based on

:02:03. > :02:06.what I saw and fight he brought Richard Krajicek on board, was a guy

:02:07. > :02:14.who put pressure on someone, came in, served and volleyed... It seemed

:02:15. > :02:19.to be a no-brainer in that sense. He has got sucked into this cat and

:02:20. > :02:24.mouse game. Trading a sliced backhand across the court. You

:02:25. > :02:29.notice Del Potro, that last point, to get up the line, it seems like he

:02:30. > :02:38.keeps it for when he really needs it. Somehow he has got himself in a

:02:39. > :02:47.position, manoeuvring himself to the finish line. You almost feel...

:02:48. > :02:53.Sorry... I feel as though again, as you say, Del Potro has been able to

:02:54. > :02:57.defend at leisure. I think you are right, the Wawrinka slice, at least

:02:58. > :03:01.he could get the ball back from Del Potro that is higher and he can work

:03:02. > :03:03.with. The one coming six inches off... You cannot do anything with

:03:04. > :03:13.it. He could be more patient with that.

:03:14. > :03:18.Get into longer rallies, which would seem to favour him since I believe

:03:19. > :03:53.he is in the better shape of the two at the moment.

:03:54. > :04:02.He is panicking a bit but he is trying. Easier said than done to

:04:03. > :04:03.deal with the weaponry of Del Potro and that ball staying low. He tried

:04:04. > :04:09.to hit the drop shot. It is getting a little dicey out

:04:10. > :04:37.there for Wawrinka. He is going into the forehand and

:04:38. > :04:39.again, going in there with pace on the second serve, wary of what might

:04:40. > :04:55.come back... Another double? But to his credit he has played the

:04:56. > :05:30.big points well on serve so far, in this fourth, Wawrinka.

:05:31. > :05:33.On the edge again, potentially, of defeat, as he faces down another

:05:34. > :06:21.break point. APPLAUSE

:06:22. > :06:46.There it is! For those of you watching this match

:06:47. > :06:56.who have seen Del Potro, somewhat new to the game, you can see... This

:06:57. > :07:04.is him, all the way back, he is pretty darned good. We all hope that

:07:05. > :07:10.he gets to 100, seeing how his nerves handle this, serving to win a

:07:11. > :09:11.Centre Court match at number ten. -- at Wimbledon.

:09:12. > :09:25.That was missed timed! He has timed many better today and that is why he

:09:26. > :09:30.finds himself on the cusp of a top five win, he hasn't had one of those

:09:31. > :09:35.since he beat Nadal in Shanghai, all the way back in 2013. He has been in

:09:36. > :09:36.the tennis wilderness because of injury and is on the verge of being

:09:37. > :10:12.back in the big time. The last time he was on Centre Court

:10:13. > :10:16.he had to taste bitter defeat in an epic contest with Novak Djokovic in

:10:17. > :10:23.the semifinals here at Wimbledon. Today, he records one of his most

:10:24. > :10:24.memorable comeback victories over Stan Wawrinka. Ranked fifth in the

:10:25. > :10:48.world. Fabulous! They note the trials and

:10:49. > :10:54.tribulations this big guy from Argentina, you get goose bumps, I am

:10:55. > :10:59.so happy for him. He has been able to get himself back in a position he

:11:00. > :11:03.can enjoy himself. You could sense as the match went on he was enjoying

:11:04. > :11:12.it, a part of being out there again. This guy can play. Just you hope he

:11:13. > :11:17.gets everything going because I can assure you if he gets two years

:11:18. > :11:21.staying in one piece, he will be back in the top ten for the third

:11:22. > :11:22.time. CHEERING

:11:23. > :11:35.Listen to that crowd! Vivid memories from that semifinal.

:11:36. > :11:39.Competing is like oxygen to these champions and he has missed Mr

:11:40. > :11:45.terribly that he is back with a vengeance. For Wawrinka, it has not

:11:46. > :11:57.been a happy hunting ground once again at SW19. I think you will be

:11:58. > :12:02.able to handle a couple of selfies! There is the good news. The tougher

:12:03. > :12:11.news for him, is he is going to play someone tomorrow. Battling

:12:12. > :12:16.somewhere, soon, if not already. It will be an opportunity. Great for

:12:17. > :12:20.this big man to bounce back he doesn't want to think about that

:12:21. > :12:27.right now, savour being back in the big time. Absolutely wonderful way

:12:28. > :12:32.to start the day for the Centre Court crowd, a good day if you are a

:12:33. > :12:36.Swiss fan but hasn't started well in terms of the results. Wawrinka going

:12:37. > :12:43.out, Federer up later against Dan Evans but for now, we can revel in

:12:44. > :12:48.the return of Juan Martin Del Potro to Centre Court. And his win... He

:12:49. > :12:58.is chatting to us now. Huge congratulations. Everyone in

:12:59. > :13:05.tennis so well aware how tough things have been for you, how good

:13:06. > :13:11.does this victory for? It feels amazing sensation for me at the

:13:12. > :13:18.moment. I beat one of the guys who is playing great tennis this season.

:13:19. > :13:22.And I couldn't expect this victory for today but I think I play much

:13:23. > :13:28.better after the first set, I really enjoyed the crowd, it was incredible

:13:29. > :13:34.for me and I was so happy on court. But in the end, I beat him and I am

:13:35. > :13:38.very happy. When you walked into this room you mentioned that your

:13:39. > :13:42.hands were still shaking after the success, as this one of the most

:13:43. > :13:48.emotional victories of your career? Considering you are grand slam

:13:49. > :13:52.champion. I think so, after my third surgery I had been trying to play

:13:53. > :13:57.tennis again, it's like my second or third career in my short life. And I

:13:58. > :14:02.don't know if I can be in the top position in the future, I want to

:14:03. > :14:07.play tennis again and I sat at home for the last two years and now I am

:14:08. > :14:11.enjoying all of these things and my hands shaking, it is a great

:14:12. > :14:15.sensation for me because I am playing tennis again and I feel

:14:16. > :14:20.alive! You mentioned the crowd, everyone seems to be so up-to-date,

:14:21. > :14:24.completely aware of what you are going through. The crowd responded

:14:25. > :14:29.to you today. Yes, I like to share moments with them, I like to do

:14:30. > :14:34.something fun for the crowd in every match and of course, they support

:14:35. > :14:42.me. In every single point and that is what I try all the time, keep

:14:43. > :14:45.fighting and now I am in the third round, my first grand slam after

:14:46. > :14:49.three years. That means a lot of good things for me. Does that mean

:14:50. > :14:54.you are progressing even quicker than you thought you might? Yes, of

:14:55. > :14:58.course, I did not expect to be in the third round at Wimbledon after

:14:59. > :15:04.three years and from now to the end... It is everything positive for

:15:05. > :15:12.me but I am very excited to go far in the tournament but I think in a

:15:13. > :15:18.good way I will be 100% soon. Many congratulations. Well done.

:15:19. > :15:21.SUE BARKER: there must have been times in recent years he wondered if

:15:22. > :15:25.he would ever get back on the big stage and he produced a big upset on

:15:26. > :15:31.Centre Court out hitting one of the big hitters in the game and winning

:15:32. > :15:35.in four sets. The Centre Court crowd rises to him, plates are many great

:15:36. > :15:45.matches here and around the world, winning the US ( 2009. Great to see

:15:46. > :15:48.him back. What a way to start the Championships. With that much on

:15:49. > :15:56.Centre Court. Let's get further reaction to that. From John and

:15:57. > :16:02.Mark. You don't often see Stan Wawrinka outfit on a cold, do you?

:16:03. > :16:10.Not at all. He is great off both sides, seemed a bit anxious after a

:16:11. > :16:15.pretty good start. Getting into the head of Del Potro, who is obviously

:16:16. > :16:20.uncertain how close to his best years, how fit he is, he didn't

:16:21. > :16:24.extend points, I was surprised that Stan was the guy who blinked in the

:16:25. > :16:31.end and started to overhit and go for it. Bill Potts wrote, mentally,

:16:32. > :16:37.is extremely difficult to deal with, underrated as far as that strength

:16:38. > :16:41.goes, he showed that, the best part for me, I was out on the practice

:16:42. > :16:46.courts with them last week. Saw him over at Queen's Club, how much he

:16:47. > :16:49.started to embrace and enjoy being on the Centre Court. I have seen two

:16:50. > :16:56.of the best matches ever when he played Roger in the Olympics,

:16:57. > :17:01.semifinals, 19-17 and that incredible match with Novak Djokovic

:17:02. > :17:06.in 2013, he hasn't been on the court at all since then. You heard him

:17:07. > :17:10.talk, it's amazing to see how happy he was, I guy who deserves it. I

:17:11. > :17:16.know everyone in the locker room is happy for him. It was emotional,

:17:17. > :17:20.Mark, looking at some of the points, he played so well from start to

:17:21. > :17:25.finish. He did and he turned it around, that was the nice part for

:17:26. > :17:30.him as well. We were worried about that backhand side of his and how he

:17:31. > :17:35.was going to cover it against Wawrinka. But you know what, you

:17:36. > :17:39.don't get to where he has got to without having a great all court

:17:40. > :17:43.game, credit to him, his back on the 70% of for he would like it to be

:17:44. > :17:53.but he was able to change it up, that shot, was absolutely a

:17:54. > :17:57.masterclass. How does he hit the ball that flat, with that much

:17:58. > :18:03.control, with the grip that he has? Stan tried to mix it up, his attack,

:18:04. > :18:08.but couldn't do it today and credit to him, that was a beatable point,

:18:09. > :18:12.wasn't it? I believe he will be more dangerous when he gets more

:18:13. > :18:17.confident moving forward. He controls a lot of points with his

:18:18. > :18:21.serve, sets himself up, daring stand to come in, but the most part he did

:18:22. > :18:26.not oblige. Juan Martin Del Potro has a lot to offer the sport, one of

:18:27. > :18:31.the most liked guys in the locker room, no athlete alive but wants to

:18:32. > :18:36.see a guy go through what he did and not have an opportunity. He was four

:18:37. > :18:41.in the world, he hurt his right wrist, had a couple of surgeries,

:18:42. > :18:45.came back to number seven, then his left wrist went, couple of surgeries

:18:46. > :18:50.later, we were starting to wonder were we going to see him again. This

:18:51. > :18:54.is spectacular. When you have had injuries like that, as serious as

:18:55. > :19:00.they work, trusting your body again to hit the ball as hard as he is,

:19:01. > :19:05.making adjustments on his backhand, but his forehand, what a weapon! I

:19:06. > :19:09.don't think people realise, that is one of the all-time great shots in

:19:10. > :19:14.tennis, no question. That forehand is scary and by the end of the match

:19:15. > :19:19.he was gaining confidence and Wawrinka was really unsure of what

:19:20. > :19:22.to do. He is going to figure this out, if he looks at the tape and is

:19:23. > :19:27.able to maintain his help, he will get a little bit more variety from

:19:28. > :19:31.the slice. Add is a good shot to use this court, no question. He has got

:19:32. > :19:37.to be able to hit through, come off with a two hander, at the end he

:19:38. > :19:42.started to do that. I want him to savour it now, the difficulty for

:19:43. > :19:46.him, he will have to play tomorrow. Absolutely and as you said, fitness

:19:47. > :19:49.without playing as many matches, the best-of-5 sets back to back, the

:19:50. > :19:55.weather not helping. It's not helping him, you had mentioned

:19:56. > :19:59.earlier, I don't know right now... There was the discussion of playing

:20:00. > :20:03.on Sunday and at the forecast is bad for tomorrow, that could help him

:20:04. > :20:07.but either way, he is going to go out with a lot more confidence but

:20:08. > :20:13.it will be interesting to see... In this case, more the legs than how

:20:14. > :20:18.his arm wrist feels. Presumably that feels good but it's how... He hasn't

:20:19. > :20:25.played a match that long since two and a half, three years. Petch,

:20:26. > :20:33.grass doesn't suit Wawrinka, he doesn't like it. It would appear

:20:34. > :20:36.that way now, credit to him and Magnus Norman begot Richard Krajicek

:20:37. > :20:40.involved, that is how seriously they too could, finding something

:20:41. > :20:43.different this year but obviously, the ball staying that much lower

:20:44. > :20:49.force down here doesn't really suit his game and I guess it comes back

:20:50. > :20:53.to John, mentally standing on a cold, you don't feel as secure as he

:20:54. > :20:58.does not hard and clay court. He is going to go away from here and

:20:59. > :21:05.rethink, 31, still a view good years to come back and stage a credible

:21:06. > :21:10.defence of the title. A little bit of a delay on Centre Court for the

:21:11. > :21:16.next match. The next match will feature Serena Williams. As you can

:21:17. > :21:22.see, blue sky overhead, lovely to see that. The roof is being opened.

:21:23. > :21:26.There will be a slight delay before Serena and Christina, onto Centre

:21:27. > :21:31.Court. We will keep an eye on that but there is plenty have been

:21:32. > :21:35.elsewhere. Play is underwear on all of the courts. On Court Number One,

:21:36. > :21:44.Venus Williams in trouble. She won the opening set, up in the second

:21:45. > :21:49.set now dropped it. Daria Kasatkina, 6-4 to the Russian. One said, she

:21:50. > :21:53.had to go three sets yesterday and play doubles match and now she is

:21:54. > :22:02.going to sets again. Bad match you can see on BBC Two. -- that much.

:22:03. > :22:08.Over on Court 16. Fabio Fognini of Italy. 1-0 set and a break of serve

:22:09. > :22:20.against the 22nd seed, the Lizzy Yarnold Lopez. -- Feliciano Lopez.

:22:21. > :22:25.Over on Court Number Two, Nick Kyrgios of Australia is facing

:22:26. > :22:32.Dustin Brown who needed a wildcard to come into the championship. A

:22:33. > :22:36.wonderful, entertaining match. Two of the great shot makers and we can

:22:37. > :22:40.join at at six games all in the first set. James Burridge and John

:22:41. > :22:49.Lloyd calling this one. COMMENTATOR: well watched by Brown.

:22:50. > :23:19.Such a temptation to hit those. Yes! He knows how good that shot was

:23:20. > :23:43.and so do this crowd. They are lapping it up.

:23:44. > :23:51.LAUGHTER I think that shot got the treatment it fully deserved! Dustin

:23:52. > :24:17.Brown... Look how close he was to the net... Any sort of blog...

:24:18. > :24:32.He built himself a tidy little cushion in this tie-break, Dustin

:24:33. > :24:35.Brown. Amazing how he didn't the power of that ground stroke,

:24:36. > :24:53.softened the volley. Take cover in the low were rows of

:24:54. > :24:56.Court Two. They need helmets. And gloves for this kind of spectator

:24:57. > :25:13.sport! Curiosity already ready to serve.

:25:14. > :25:16.Dustin Brown in no mood to rush. He has got himself a 4-2 advantage in

:25:17. > :25:58.this first set tie-break. Played ten a bit in this first set

:25:59. > :25:59.but look at this. Serving of the highest quality from Dustin Brown.

:26:00. > :26:18.Three set points. Well! Sending it off with a

:26:19. > :26:28.flourish. CHEERING

:26:29. > :26:36.SUE BARKER: would he pull off a big surprise as he did last, beating

:26:37. > :26:39.Rafael Nadal? Not if Kyrgios has anything to do

:26:40. > :26:45.with it, came out fighting in the second set, broke a couple of times,

:26:46. > :26:52.to get quickly 6-1. Kyrgios taking the second set, tied at 1-1 sets.

:26:53. > :26:58.But as we go live to Court Number Two, you can see it has changed

:26:59. > :27:02.again. Brown in control, 3-0 up with a break of serve. Some dialogue with

:27:03. > :27:06.the umpire, not sure of what is going on but we will keep you

:27:07. > :27:09.up-to-date. That is on the red button if you want to watch it, ebbs

:27:10. > :27:17.and flows in that match the tween those great shot makers. A result to

:27:18. > :27:23.bring you. And Quebec from Germany, put out Heather Watson yesterday,

:27:24. > :27:31.12-10 in the third set, two hours 52 minutes, she has raced through her

:27:32. > :27:37.match today against the Belarussian. 6-2, 6-1, losing just three games,

:27:38. > :27:42.what a difference a day makes. She marches on through the tournament.

:27:43. > :27:49.And Venus Williams has dropped the second set. From Daria Kasatkina,

:27:50. > :27:55.the 29th seed. A lot of work for business to do, taken to three sets

:27:56. > :28:04.in the singles yesterday. That match is live on BBC Two. And I am not

:28:05. > :28:09.sure for her mother will be. Just a view minutes ago, her younger sister

:28:10. > :28:10.Serena walking out onto Centre Court for her match against Christina

:28:11. > :28:25.McHale. She is the six time champion here.

:28:26. > :28:30.Looking for another. She doesn't own a Grand Slam championship in 2016,

:28:31. > :28:36.got her game face on. What a journey it has been for Serena, from the

:28:37. > :29:12.park courts incompetence to a winner of 21 grand slam titles.

:29:13. > :29:50.Serena Williams is the US Open champion!

:29:51. > :30:57.# It ain't no way # It ain't no way for me to love you

:30:58. > :31:03.# If you won't let me # And if you need me

:31:04. > :31:16.# To love you # Say, say you do

:31:17. > :31:23.# Don't you know # It ain't no way

:31:24. > :31:33.What a career and what a journey it has been for this 34-year-old. She

:31:34. > :31:37.is still chasing that elusive 22nd Grand Slam title, the one she has

:31:38. > :31:43.had her sights on since winning the title here a year ago. She's up

:31:44. > :31:48.against Christina McHale, who is ranked 65 in the world. Serena

:31:49. > :31:52.Williams against Christina McHale. Almost ready to start this match, so

:31:53. > :31:57.let's join our commentators on Centre Court, Tracy Austin alongside

:31:58. > :32:01.David Mercer. COMMENTATOR: Remarkable to think

:32:02. > :32:05.that since leaving here is the champion last year, Serena Williams

:32:06. > :32:11.has not added to the total of 21 majors which puts her one behind

:32:12. > :32:17.Steffi Graf in terms of majors won in the open era, which started in

:32:18. > :32:22.1968, and three behind the all-time record of Margaret Smith Court, the

:32:23. > :32:32.great Australian, who won some of her titles in the amateur era, or

:32:33. > :32:39.the Shamateur Era, as it really was. The man in the -- on the left, the

:32:40. > :32:48.man who has been guiding Serena Williams's career. The man next to

:32:49. > :32:51.him, her hitting partner. One big difference from the Dell Potter and

:32:52. > :33:02.Wawrinka match, the roof has now been opened. As we were mentioning,

:33:03. > :33:06.that good match in Miami. There are other match was in Rome in May.

:33:07. > :33:11.Christina McHale was leading in the first set but couldn't put it away

:33:12. > :33:16.and lost the tie-breaker and then Serena Williams rather ran away with

:33:17. > :33:21.the second set. Here is Christina McHale. 24 years of age. She lives

:33:22. > :33:26.in the state of New Jersey, just across the Hudson River from New

:33:27. > :33:33.York. Ranked 65 but on this year's results she would be 44 in the

:33:34. > :33:40.rankings. One of the full-time officials on the WTA Tour. Tracy, if

:33:41. > :33:46.Serena plays as Serena can, there's only one winner. But we've seen,

:33:47. > :33:51.particularly against Roberta Vinci in the semifinals of the US Open

:33:52. > :33:57.last year, sometimes she finds it difficult to produce her best tennis

:33:58. > :34:00.when it matters most. Sometimes the nerves take over. That was a

:34:01. > :34:07.dramatic moment when Serena lost to Roberta Vinci. She had never lost a

:34:08. > :34:13.set to her before that match. Roberta Vinci takes the pace of and

:34:14. > :34:19.keeps the ball low. Serena feeling the pressure of trying to complete

:34:20. > :34:25.the calendar Grand Slam. It looked like it was going to be a slam dunk.

:34:26. > :34:31.Yes, Roberta Vinci ended up losing to fellow Italian Flavia Panetta,

:34:32. > :34:35.who then promptly retired from the tour at the end of the year and is

:34:36. > :34:48.now married to Fabio Fognini, Italy's number one male player. And

:34:49. > :34:56.it will be the defending champion to get this second round match under

:34:57. > :34:57.way. Amazing, we're here on Friday and still playing second round

:34:58. > :35:20.matches. Very steady player, Christina

:35:21. > :35:44.McHale. But lacks the power of her opponent.

:35:45. > :35:54.Christina McHale is a very good competitor. Consistent, has a

:35:55. > :35:56.terrific demeanour out on court. Always looking for the forehand to

:35:57. > :36:24.try to dictate play. The third time these two have played

:36:25. > :36:53.this year. The third surface. Complete mis-hit on the volley. This

:36:54. > :37:08.was a bit of a surprise. More frame than strings on the volley.

:37:09. > :37:34.119 mph for the first ace. The arm is warmed up already.

:37:35. > :38:13.Not enough top-spin on that forehand.

:38:14. > :38:40.Tracy, while we were waiting outside to come into the commentary booth,

:38:41. > :38:45.we were sort of saying if McHale can stay with Williams for the first six

:38:46. > :38:49.or eight games, Serena could get nervous. There were a few nervous

:38:50. > :38:51.shots straightaway double yellow very shaky game from Serena already.

:38:52. > :39:23.A double fault, miscues. Already four unforced errors from

:39:24. > :39:45.Williams. So often the match is an Serena's

:39:46. > :39:49.racket. If she turns the switch, any time in a match and becomes

:39:50. > :40:06.consistent with her power, it's so tough to stay in the rallies.

:40:07. > :40:13.A big forehand. Terrific racket head speed from McHale. That is the shot

:40:14. > :40:37.she is looking to do the most damage with.

:40:38. > :41:34.APPLAUSE The world number one at her very

:41:35. > :41:48.best. Starting to look a little more comfortable.

:41:49. > :41:54.Banning wiry and a little not of the head to say, I'm going to challenge

:41:55. > :42:33.that. Excellent serve. Christina has

:42:34. > :42:39.improved her serve over the years. Getting a little more drive from her

:42:40. > :42:42.legs. She mixes it up nicely but she has to make sure she maintains

:42:43. > :43:10.velocity on her second serve, importantly.

:43:11. > :43:30.Sometimes you feel Serena just thrives off her opponent's pace.

:43:31. > :43:41.I've covered both the matches these two have played this year, in Miami.

:43:42. > :43:55.The coach of Christina McHale, the USDA programme.

:43:56. > :44:02.The first match that these two played this year, in Miami, Serena

:44:03. > :44:18.was not in a good mood. She didn't play convincing tennis.

:44:19. > :44:25.Christina took the second set. Christina just continuing to plug

:44:26. > :44:37.away. Because of that, I don't think she will be awed by Serena Dave. She

:44:38. > :45:02.pushed her a long way in Rome as well, 9-7, first set tie-break.

:45:03. > :45:10.If Christina McHale misses the first serve, watch out. She has served

:45:11. > :45:12.very well so far, but whenever she's missed the first serve, as you can

:45:13. > :46:21.see, she has lost the point. APPLAUSE

:46:22. > :46:24.First point from McHale on her second serve and she is really

:46:25. > :46:32.striking the ball beautifully, with depth. So important for McHale to

:46:33. > :46:36.have a quick start. For break points she has saved. If she could hold

:46:37. > :47:08.here, it would be a huge psychological boost.

:47:09. > :47:17.Just a huge disparity between miles per hour on her first and her second

:47:18. > :47:19.serve. That second serve just 71 mph. It got her in trouble

:47:20. > :47:52.immediately. APPLAUSE

:47:53. > :48:03.First ace from McHale. Didn't serve an ace in her first match. A long

:48:04. > :48:12.old game and a pretty crucial one, particularly, you feel, for McHale.

:48:13. > :48:26.And she has won it! That is impressive.

:48:27. > :48:31.Against one of the best returners in the game, if not the best. She

:48:32. > :49:06.really dug in. At the moment, Christina McHale is

:49:07. > :49:12.out- hitting Serena Williams! She's really going after her shots.

:49:13. > :49:50.Oh! That's usually the way that Serena turns it around.

:49:51. > :50:08.This ball just left hanging in the centre of the court, and Serena will

:50:09. > :50:09.bury that in the corner. So much pressure on her opponents to keep

:50:10. > :50:41.length and width. Yeah, the little crosscourt from

:50:42. > :51:05.McHale. Even down the line, she didn't need to cut it that fine.

:51:06. > :51:17.Hit the line and checked way too early.

:51:18. > :51:32.Just rips the ball, doesn't it? The titanium pigmentation as it is on

:51:33. > :51:40.the line now, not chalk. Oh! She's all right, but a little squeak as

:51:41. > :51:46.she went over. What a return, that. Look at the angle. This is where you

:51:47. > :51:47.have a tendency to slip, outside where it's a little more green, a

:51:48. > :52:24.little more moist. That was a little sloppy from

:52:25. > :52:25.McHale. Or nervous. That is a forehand she likes, right from the

:52:26. > :52:42.centre of the court. Those small opportunities against an

:52:43. > :53:04.elite player that you have to take care of. Like that missed forehand.

:53:05. > :53:11.Well, the reaction tells you just how much that game meant to Serena.

:53:12. > :53:18.Desperately didn't want to go down 3-0, with two brakes. This woman

:53:19. > :53:29.with a remarkable record here at The Championships. Total matches won now

:53:30. > :53:38.up to 80. Chasing Billie Jean King. Just ahead of big sis! Serena, six

:53:39. > :53:41.times the champion and two times the finalist here as well. Billie Jean

:53:42. > :54:01.King played until she was 48, 49! It's a wonderful service action.

:54:02. > :54:08.Just so fluid. Technically so sound. The left leg bends, the left hip out

:54:09. > :54:17.over the baseline and then she starts to uncoil, push up and then

:54:18. > :54:23.uncoil. Right arm over the left arm. Two feet inside the baseline when

:54:24. > :54:25.she lands. Very fluid motion. The best serve in the history of women's

:54:26. > :54:34.tennis. A real buzz, of course people have

:54:35. > :54:39.been waiting to get back in after the third game. May have nipped out

:54:40. > :54:48.to get some refreshment after the men's match.

:54:49. > :55:02.71% of McHale's first serves have gone in. If she can maintain that

:55:03. > :55:30.sort of level... Serena has not quite found her

:55:31. > :55:52.rhythm yet. A little ragged. APPLAUSE

:55:53. > :55:56.For McHale, you have to find the right balance of going for enough on

:55:57. > :56:09.your first serve but still keeping them in, because the second serve is

:56:10. > :56:15.just getting punished. She took a lot of pace off, just 91 mph. It's a

:56:16. > :56:21.very fine balance against this woman. Constantly trying to

:56:22. > :57:02.recalibrate. Much to go for. She does a lot of talking to

:57:03. > :57:15.herself, Serena. Normally when she is dissatisfied with herself.

:57:16. > :57:21.That is a great effort from McHale because she had to get to the ball

:57:22. > :57:30.and then a delightful touch, which she did. McHale running with the

:57:31. > :57:38.racket well out in front and then she just scoops it up, delicate

:57:39. > :57:49.touch. Terrific racket work. And balance as well.

:57:50. > :57:54.Third ace. If I may be self-indulgent, that is some

:57:55. > :58:23.terrific camerawork. Brilliant shot. Are unusual to see someone rush

:58:24. > :58:28.Serena. I saw Serena earlier today walk over to the indoor courts, I

:58:29. > :58:36.was walking out, she walked in about 12 because it was raining. My...

:58:37. > :58:41.There was one famous incident at the US Open when she was foot faulted

:58:42. > :58:56.which led to quite an altercation with the umpire.

:58:57. > :59:03.McHale not doing much that point other than getting the ball back in

:59:04. > :59:28.play. The unenforced errors tell the tale. Overheating.

:59:29. > :59:33.Much better constructed point from Serena, building the point, looking

:59:34. > :59:50.for the opening, the appropriate time to move forward.

:59:51. > :59:57.A little extra slice on that to move away from McHale. The foot fault

:59:58. > :59:59.rule issue cannot touch the court inside the line with either foot

:00:00. > :00:28.during the service process. Great defence from McHale. That

:00:29. > :00:38.forehand from Williams was a ferocious. The fifth game of the

:00:39. > :01:07.match, the fourth to go to deuce. This is a highly competitive start.

:01:08. > :01:21.Unusual. Once again, McHale with the opportunity for a second break.

:01:22. > :01:45.Starting to sprinkle. Tracy, you are not allowed to say things like that!

:01:46. > :01:59.Sam angles from Williams! -- some angles. Dear... The ground crew

:02:00. > :02:07.assembled and ready. Go away, go away, rain! They have been told

:02:08. > :02:09.there was a good two hours of dry weather, that is why they opened the

:02:10. > :02:23.roof. APPLAUSE

:02:24. > :02:27.McHale getting just enough on that return. Making for a very cord shot

:02:28. > :04:13.for Williams. -- very awkward shot. Well, she is just managing to cling

:04:14. > :04:14.onto Racquel's coat-tails, two break points saved, still down a break at

:04:15. > :04:31.3-2. Fascinating start. You could hear

:04:32. > :04:36.the murmuring around the ground. They would have said, OK, someone

:04:37. > :04:41.ranked in the 60s, this will be pretty routine, we have Dan Evans to

:04:42. > :04:47.play Federer and suddenly they have realised they have a real match on.

:04:48. > :04:54.Absolutely. Four break points already, saving three of them. Just

:04:55. > :04:58.so difficult, Serena serving well, to get any opportunities, any

:04:59. > :05:04.openings on her service games. McHale has done a great job of

:05:05. > :05:11.pushing Serena on her serve. The good news is that the rain has not

:05:12. > :05:45.got any worse. Play continues. The roof is open.

:05:46. > :05:49.So crucial for McHale to get a good hefty lead here before Serena really

:05:50. > :06:24.finds her game. Serena never plays in the lead up

:06:25. > :06:34.grass court events. Just her second match on grass.

:06:35. > :06:44.Seems to work for her. Most players seem to need a lot of rates on this

:06:45. > :06:48.circus. Any grass courts in Florida first she lives? She talked about it

:06:49. > :06:53.and says she practices on hard courts until she arrives here. She

:06:54. > :07:11.arrived on Monday, feels it's plenty of days to practice on the surface.

:07:12. > :07:44.The first of the three break points saved.

:07:45. > :07:52.That is fabulous play again from McHale!

:07:53. > :08:00.Very aggressive. Part of the game plan, to go after the shots, drive

:08:01. > :08:42.through the ground strokes. Well... One more step from Serena.

:08:43. > :08:44.Just reach for this ball. She has had seven break points in the match

:08:45. > :09:11.so far, Serena, and hasn't broken. OK... You are allowed to get excited

:09:12. > :09:13.when your player is playing as well. He is so nervous, he can barely

:09:14. > :09:53.move! Yet another deuce game, only one

:09:54. > :10:32.game so far has not gone to deuce. McHale is really handling the

:10:33. > :10:35.Williams Power beautifully. Strong with her legs, staying down.

:10:36. > :10:44.Absorbing the pace. Broad shoulders, she was a very good

:10:45. > :11:18.swimmer before she started concentrating on tennis.

:11:19. > :11:24.McHale holds from 0- 40. CHEERING

:11:25. > :11:36.That is a great reaction from her coach. Very impressive. Sturdy,

:11:37. > :11:38.mentally. Hang in there. Liked that last forehand from McHale, the

:11:39. > :11:46.slice, changing the pace against Williams. Talking to her in Spanish.

:11:47. > :11:50.She speaks English, Spanish and basic Mandarin, she lived in Hong

:11:51. > :11:51.Kong for a feud years. She started playing tennis against the wall of

:11:52. > :12:27.her apartment complex. In case you were wondering where the

:12:28. > :13:07.Spanish comes from, her mother, Margarita, is Cuban.

:13:08. > :13:14.Christina's sister, Lauren, also played tennis at the adversity of

:13:15. > :13:16.North Carolina, at Indian Wells this year, got engaged to Ryan Harrison.

:13:17. > :13:27.An American professional player. Great relief for Serena. To get a

:13:28. > :14:12.quick 0- 40 on her serve. SUE BARKER: the defending champion

:14:13. > :14:16.in a real battle on Centre Court against Christina McHale. Her sister

:14:17. > :14:26.is locked in battle on Court Number One, 6-6 and a point to go up 7-614

:14:27. > :14:32.is against the 19-year-old Russian, a real battle, over two hours. Live

:14:33. > :14:37.on BBC Two. Tara Moore, the last British woman in the draw is playing

:14:38. > :14:40.a two-time grand winner, Svetlana Kuznetsova. The Russian up a break

:14:41. > :14:59.of serve, that is available online. We will keep you up-to-date with

:15:00. > :15:05.that. A couple of results to renew. Suarez Navarro is through. She will

:15:06. > :15:11.be keeping an eye on what is happening on Court One, she faces

:15:12. > :15:14.the winner of that match. No problems for Tomas Berdych. The 10th

:15:15. > :15:19.seed in straight sets, winning against Benjamin Becker. The former

:15:20. > :15:28.finalist safely through. Finished his match before the rain

:15:29. > :15:32.comes, I think it is not far away. We go back to Centre Court.

:15:33. > :15:38.COMMENTATOR: we will keep our fingers crossed that the rain will

:15:39. > :16:04.stay away, new balls in play, McHale up a break, 4-3.

:16:05. > :16:12.There is the tournament referee. At least he is smiling, next to Pam

:16:13. > :16:17.Whitecross, former Australian player, now an adviser on the WTA

:16:18. > :16:23.Tour. They have an eye on the weather, I am sure. Some second

:16:24. > :16:30.round women's matches to complete today. The goal is to get the second

:16:31. > :16:35.today and the third tomorrow. Sorry, Tracy, I see spots of rain on the

:16:36. > :16:46.camera lens again. The roof was shot for the first match. The club says

:16:47. > :16:48.it sent outdoor tournament. -- the club says it is an outdoor

:16:49. > :17:07.tournament. Starting to sprinkle again. I might

:17:08. > :17:11.have taken Carol's job. Yes, a light drizzle but that makes the squad

:17:12. > :17:16.very slippery. Ground staff waiting, poised once more... Vital point

:17:17. > :17:51.here. The crowd putting their raincoats

:17:52. > :17:56.on. A big first serve from McHale. In this time to backhand from

:17:57. > :18:00.Williams. It is getting very dark year, you Otong won't notice it. The

:18:01. > :18:20.TV cameras here accent you a polite but it is very dark.

:18:21. > :18:25.Serena's eighth break point opportunity is set. Can she finally

:18:26. > :19:06.breakthrough? Dismisses that second serve. 79

:19:07. > :19:08.miles an hour. McHale has had to contend with today, the first serve

:19:09. > :19:44.average, 103, second at 82. 4-4. UMPIRE: ladies and gentlemen... Play

:19:45. > :19:57.is suspended. They did a magnificent job. Felix is

:19:58. > :20:04.on the roller coasters, out of the way. But the players are not out of

:20:05. > :20:07.the way. Christina, you have to get out of the way. Serena is more used

:20:08. > :20:15.to this. She went in the right direction.

:20:16. > :20:22.SUE BARKER: Serena will be walking off Centre Court a lot happier than

:20:23. > :20:27.if it was ten minutes ago, right back in this match. They are going

:20:28. > :20:32.to close the roof. But take about 15 minutes. Not too long for the

:20:33. > :20:35.defending champion to wait. Serena Williams and Christina McHale head

:20:36. > :20:40.back to the locker room, we will be back on Centre Court very soon. To

:20:41. > :20:44.update you, been as Williams on Court Number One, when the rain came

:20:45. > :20:54.down, at match point, 7-6 in the third set. Hopefully this is only a

:20:55. > :20:59.brief shower and we will have more tennis on the outside courts. Before

:21:00. > :21:03.we rejoin Centre Court we take it to the match being played out on Court

:21:04. > :21:08.Number Two. Nick Uriel is against Dustin Brown, Brown who put out

:21:09. > :21:14.Rafael Nadal last year. The great entertainers. We started -- join it

:21:15. > :21:25.at the start of the fifth and final set.

:21:26. > :21:33.No room to muck about now. They have got to put their serious face on, if

:21:34. > :22:10.they have one. I do not think that is going to happen!

:22:11. > :22:28.Tennis, John, as you know, such a mental game. Who has the mental

:22:29. > :22:35.edge? Well... I do not know if either of them do! It's just... I

:22:36. > :22:40.have no idea! I think Kyrgios will come through this match somehow.

:22:41. > :22:50.It's the most extraordinary thing I have ever seen! That is another ace.

:22:51. > :23:03.He has let that bounce. That has killed a few extra!

:23:04. > :23:11.Another brutal swipe from Dustin Brown! So flat. Exactly as you

:23:12. > :23:28.described it, it is a swot. How on earth did he get to the net

:23:29. > :24:42.in that time? That was too good! You should see

:24:43. > :24:51.them in this area, Nick Uriel is, when he has a half-court shot. --

:24:52. > :24:59.Nicky Kyrgios. That area, he struggles to get past, anticipates

:25:00. > :25:03.so well, has such a big wingspan. Kyrgios has no manoeuvre out of the

:25:04. > :25:10.way, should go at him some of the time rather than going past him.

:25:11. > :25:49.That deserved that sort of treatment. Some of these work and

:25:50. > :26:21.some of them don't. Kyrgios dismisses his response.

:26:22. > :26:35.Good, clean, crisp volley. Dustin Brown... Increasingly animated. He

:26:36. > :26:40.knows what is at stake, our place in round three.

:26:41. > :26:51.And of course... John... In this part of the draw, the potential of

:26:52. > :26:56.Feliciano Lopez and Andy Murray... How would Andy Murray play one of

:26:57. > :27:01.these two? I said at the beginning of the draw that I thought Kyrgios

:27:02. > :27:11.was the one player in his section who could trouble Murray on a given

:27:12. > :27:14.day. Murray would have got so many more balls back, he is so

:27:15. > :27:16.self-destructive that you wouldn't get a chance but he is so different

:27:17. > :28:08.every day. 133 mph. He's getting back in the

:28:09. > :28:42.groove. Well, this fought to crowd will be

:28:43. > :28:46.relieved to be seeing some tennis. They had three points when this game

:28:47. > :28:52.started, just after 11:30am, and then a three hour wait.

:28:53. > :29:00.That is the sort of point, though, that Kyrgios needs to be winning,

:29:01. > :29:14.that first point against the serve. Had a very makeable passing shot. It

:29:15. > :29:26.could well have been love 30. But at least he is in this game.

:29:27. > :29:59.Well, Nick Kyrgios knows what's coming, virtually every point.

:30:00. > :30:09.Whether he has an answer to it remains to be seen.

:30:10. > :30:36.UMPIRE: Replay the point. Correction from the line judge. First serve.

:30:37. > :30:44.Game. It's a simple game sometimes, tennis, isn't it?

:30:45. > :31:01.It's funny to you? Why is he laughing? Is it funny to him? I

:31:02. > :31:07.think it's hilarious, too. No, there's no problem. If he finds

:31:08. > :31:15.getting lines wrong in the fifth set funny then he's got a great sense of

:31:16. > :31:25.humour... Who was laughing? One of the lines people? I think it goes

:31:26. > :31:31.back to the net cord early in the second set. The lines judge

:31:32. > :31:36.corrected himself and I think Dustin Brown saw the funny side, but I'm

:31:37. > :31:40.not sure Nick Kyrgios did. This is where his dad George needs to be

:31:41. > :31:56.right behind him, he needs all his support. On serve in this final set.

:31:57. > :32:11.That was a chance. Trying to rush and hurry his opponent. It wasn't a

:32:12. > :32:17.bad as from Kyrgios, right at his body. -- not a bad pass.

:32:18. > :32:57.Oh dear! Big miss, in the circumstances.

:32:58. > :33:04.APPLAUSE Too good. A second game to love, for

:33:05. > :33:14.Nick Kyrgios. The skies are getting darker here on

:33:15. > :33:20.Court two. This is the opportunity that Kyrgios

:33:21. > :34:17.has been waiting for. APPLAUSE

:34:18. > :34:26.He's disintegrating before our eyes here, Dustin Brown. All in the

:34:27. > :34:31.return of serve here for Nick Kyrgios.

:34:32. > :34:45.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE One saved.

:34:46. > :34:57.He really needs to find his serve. It's beginning to start to rain here

:34:58. > :34:58.on court two. UMPIRE: Please. Please, please.

:34:59. > :35:22.Please. Oh! Well reached, Dustin Brown! What

:35:23. > :35:26.a shot. How about that? UMPIRE: Ladies and gentlemen, out of

:35:27. > :35:28.respect to both players, please don't call out between

:35:29. > :35:44.. Please. -- between serves. Used that 6-foot five frame of his. Oh!

:35:45. > :35:52.What a comeback. Boy, did he need that.

:35:53. > :36:14.The crowd going bonkers here, again. Nicely done.

:36:15. > :36:19.UMPIRE: Mr Brown is challenging the call on the left near sideline. All

:36:20. > :36:29.was called in. Well, he needs to save some of these, particularly if

:36:30. > :36:40.we get towards a very tight set. Mr Brown has two challenges remaining.

:36:41. > :36:56.Beautiful from Kyrgios! Where have you been? Nice and calm there, on

:36:57. > :37:01.that passing shot. Didn't try to much, just lined it up. I just

:37:02. > :37:09.wonder, if he breaks here... Well, the rain is really lashing down now.

:37:10. > :37:17.What will Jake Garner decide? The players are playing on.

:37:18. > :37:22.UMPIRE: Wait, wait, wait. Guys stop. It's really coming down firmly. He's

:37:23. > :37:26.surely got option but to bring them off. I'm afraid the elements have

:37:27. > :37:33.won the battle here again on court two. And what a stage again as well,

:37:34. > :37:37.break point on Dustin Brown's serve in a deciding set. Boy oh boy.

:37:38. > :37:41.STUDIO That is going to be a difficult

:37:42. > :37:44.place to pick up the match indeed, but a very entertaining match on

:37:45. > :37:47.Court Number Two and the players have made their way back to the

:37:48. > :37:52.locker room. Some heavy rain has come through. It's not raining, only

:37:53. > :37:56.drizzling at the moment out there but still some dark clouds around

:37:57. > :38:01.Wimbledon, so the covers remain on. But of course here at Wimbledon we

:38:02. > :38:05.have a dead is a court roof and we will be rejoining the match in just

:38:06. > :38:10.a moment between Serena Williams and Christina McHale. -- we have a

:38:11. > :38:15.Centre Court roof. It gives us the chance to just see the start of a

:38:16. > :38:21.match between Britain's Tara Moore, she's the last British woman left in

:38:22. > :38:31.the tournament, and facing Svetlana Kuznetsova, three times a

:38:32. > :38:32.quarterfinalist here. We can join that match. The commentators are Jo

:38:33. > :38:50.Durie and Barry Davies. COMMENTATOR: She would have hoped to

:38:51. > :38:54.volley a bit better than that and probably volley a bit shorter than

:38:55. > :39:00.that. The thing is, you think you've hit a good shot against Kuznetsova

:39:01. > :39:14.but she's actually very fast, so it's going to come back.

:39:15. > :39:41.A quick check required on court dimensions...

:39:42. > :39:51.A nasty bounce, and Moore wasn't up to it.

:39:52. > :40:11.So, three break points right at the beginning.

:40:12. > :40:16.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Good applause for, as they put it, a

:40:17. > :40:50.point on the board. Oh yes! APPLAUSE

:40:51. > :40:56.Boy, isn't this fantastic? The crowd are really up for this already.

:40:57. > :41:10.0-40, two deuce. It would be a good game to win.

:41:11. > :41:22.Very deep return to what was a deep second serve. In terms of placement,

:41:23. > :41:35.maybe not quite so much with the zip. So, another break point.

:41:36. > :41:52.Well, I think I did say she has a big forehand and it's good to see

:41:53. > :42:09.her use it and swing away freely, because she's going to need to.

:42:10. > :42:18.That is a superb return. This is the think when you have a good first

:42:19. > :42:22.serve and you put a good second serve in and you think that's not

:42:23. > :42:32.too bad, and then back it comes with such speed. Fifth break point. It's

:42:33. > :42:45.actually a third break point. Getting ahead of myself.

:42:46. > :43:00.Too long. APPLAUSE

:43:01. > :43:11.Well, it's a pity. Yes, because from the first three points, which were a

:43:12. > :43:15.bit nervy, she's got herself going. But this is the thing when you play

:43:16. > :43:18.players who have won Grand Slams and play classy tennis, you have to be

:43:19. > :43:29.ready. Got to find the balance with that,

:43:30. > :43:38.because she comes from a part of the world where they are all about pace.

:43:39. > :43:52.Maybe there is something of that in the genes.

:43:53. > :44:04.Well, Kuznetsova looks pretty good to me so far. She's moving very

:44:05. > :44:40.well. A good change of shot from

:44:41. > :44:43.Kuznetsova with the slice, keeping it very low. She can hit off both

:44:44. > :45:10.sides. APPLAUSE

:45:11. > :45:15.Actually hitting the ball very sweetly, Kuznetsova, right from the

:45:16. > :45:24.off. She could have hit this ball either way for a winner.

:45:25. > :45:30.She made a particularly good start against Wozniacki, but then had a

:45:31. > :45:35.dull period in the middle of the set.

:45:36. > :45:43.And I would say, Barry, a lot of matches I've seen Kuznetsova play

:45:44. > :45:48.lately, she does have these spells when she gets so wound up in the

:45:49. > :45:49.middle of matches and I'm thinking why is that? She gets too annoyed

:45:50. > :47:06.with herself. Well, she...

:47:07. > :47:10.STUDIO Just a couple of points later, the

:47:11. > :47:15.rain came down and the players had to make their way back to the locker

:47:16. > :47:20.room. Kuznetsova 2-0 and 15-30 in the next game. We just thought we

:47:21. > :47:24.would show you Tara Moore, the last British woman left in the

:47:25. > :47:29.Championships, start her campaign. Heavy rain falling here at Wimbledon

:47:30. > :47:36.but Centre Court continues. One result from under the roof and it is

:47:37. > :47:40.trying Martin Del Paul Treu. What a comeback from three surgeries and he

:47:41. > :47:46.hasn't played a Grand Slam in the last two and a half years and he has

:47:47. > :47:50.put out the fourth seed, Stan Wawrinka.

:47:51. > :47:55.He is here and looking to be back to his best. The Centre Court crowd

:47:56. > :48:07.saluting him and his story. So, the roof is closed and play is

:48:08. > :48:12.getting under way. Serena Williams has made her way back onto Centre

:48:13. > :48:18.Court, the six time champion up against Christina McHale. It is for

:48:19. > :48:23.games all and Serena will be serving at 15-0. Back we go to Tracy Austin

:48:24. > :48:28.and David Mercer. COMMENTATOR: It's been a fascinating

:48:29. > :48:32.opening set which has already started three quarters of an hour.

:48:33. > :48:38.Serena made a poor start, Christina McHale, ranked 65 in the world from

:48:39. > :48:46.New Jersey, won the first two games and had a break point for 3-0. She

:48:47. > :48:49.had two break points for a double break at 4-1, but Serena fought back

:48:50. > :48:58.to 4-4. Serena, you've got to serve from the

:48:59. > :49:44.left court, it is 15-0! Won her last service game to love.

:49:45. > :50:09.Suddenly found a really good rhythm on the serve.

:50:10. > :50:31.Three games in a row, then, for Serena Williams. Winning her last

:50:32. > :50:35.four -- two service games to love and suddenly found some form. It

:50:36. > :50:41.will be critical for Christina McHale to get a lot of first serves

:50:42. > :50:45.in, because as Hawk-Eye can show us, Williams really steps in on the

:50:46. > :50:49.second serve. The yellow ones are when she hits a first service return

:50:50. > :50:54.and the blue balls are stepping inside the baseline. Yeah, a lot

:50:55. > :51:03.more time to get ready to strike that second serve. McHale averaging

:51:04. > :51:13.82 mph on the second serve and it has cost McHale. Only able to win

:51:14. > :51:21.four of 18 points when she has had to send in a second serve. And in

:51:22. > :51:57.contrast she has won 66% of the points behind the first serve.

:51:58. > :52:15.Wow. Serena looking much sharper the second time around. If you've got a

:52:16. > :53:02.great serve, as she does, you also almost always have a great smash.

:53:03. > :53:33.Big moment here for McHale. Centre Court, where Serena has won so many

:53:34. > :54:08.times and in fact won six times. Six times the champion.

:54:09. > :54:23.Out! Serena with a slip and Christina misfires. Point. --

:54:24. > :54:29.Christina misfires, for set point. So is easy to be distracted, catch

:54:30. > :54:32.that slip out of the corner of your high.

:54:33. > :54:59.UMPIRE: Miss McHale is going to challenge this. Very, very close.

:55:00. > :55:08.Even Serena doesn't know. Oh! How close can you be?

:55:09. > :55:19.Serena looking completely shocked! Thinking it was long.

:55:20. > :55:44.Brilliant serve. Second life, for McHale. She thought the set was

:55:45. > :55:48.already over. She has now saved eight of the nine break points she

:55:49. > :56:01.has faced. Terrific from the young American.

:56:02. > :56:25.You wouldn't have expected McHale to be hitting more forehand winners.

:56:26. > :56:41.Great effort. I coach absolutely thrilled. -- her coach. Three

:56:42. > :57:02.massive serves to get herself out of that game.

:57:03. > :57:18.And McHale gets a second serve. She's going to have to do more with

:57:19. > :57:47.the return. McHale reading that return well.

:57:48. > :57:55.Serena has served 11 serve standard tea on the outside, just two have

:57:56. > :58:04.them out wide. -- 11 serves down the T.

:58:05. > :59:10.Magnificent rock power from Williams, the overhead. She gets

:59:11. > :59:17.into a superposition, Tracy... She is very quick to get her racket up

:59:18. > :59:21.early, maintains that left arm up for balance and rotates through with

:59:22. > :59:28.her head up nicely, lacks reach up... And then the follow-through.

:59:29. > :59:35.Plenty of racket head speed, great balance. Watch the left arm go up,

:59:36. > :59:39.many people forget that, to help ensure balance and head up... Moving

:59:40. > :59:56.through together. Fluidly. UMPIRE: ladies and gentlemen, seeks

:59:57. > :00:02.quickly, please. Serena, so good when she moves forward. Not

:00:03. > :00:08.necessarily winning the points, four smashers. Winning the points, she

:00:09. > :00:11.puts herself in such a good position with the transition shot and the

:00:12. > :00:24.swing volley away. McHale trying to force a first set

:00:25. > :00:25.tie-break, their last match in Rome in May when to a first set

:00:26. > :01:47.tie-break. The court did get a little damp

:01:48. > :01:49.before the covers came across, inevitable, despite how quickly the

:01:50. > :02:22.covers were brought on. When you are angry, you tend to lose

:02:23. > :03:21.control. Very nearly an hour of actual

:03:22. > :03:26.playing time, that doesn't include the break for the rain. That

:03:27. > :03:46.tie-break in Rome was won by Serena Williams, 9-7.

:03:47. > :03:56.120. The fastest of the day for Serena. That's why I think she has

:03:57. > :04:01.the biggest serve in the world... Ever. The power, placement and a big

:04:02. > :05:04.serve at a crucial moment. McHale striking her backhand

:05:05. > :05:06.beautifully, going after it with conviction, known for the big

:05:07. > :05:49.forehand. That return, McHale lets drop too

:05:50. > :05:51.low, backs up too far, lets the ball drop and it gives Williams so much

:05:52. > :06:10.more time to react. McHale five feedback for a second

:06:11. > :07:11.serve... Yes, a magnificent running forehand

:07:12. > :07:16.from Serena Williams, has just given her a mini-break for the second

:07:17. > :07:22.time, 4-2 lead at the change of ends.

:07:23. > :08:21.Serena gave up the first mini-break with her own double fault.

:08:22. > :08:42.Again, half a chance and she knows it, on her favourite forehand.

:08:43. > :08:53.That's a brilliant pass at full stretch!

:08:54. > :08:57.APPLAUSE McHale, a shot that she is not that

:08:58. > :09:33.comfortable with, but she controlled that well.

:09:34. > :09:44.Now, it's been called out why the umpire... UMPIRE: Miss Williams

:09:45. > :09:45.challenging the call, on the right baseline... The ball was called

:09:46. > :10:30.out... Well, well...

:10:31. > :10:38.CHEERING He has got ants in his pants today.

:10:39. > :10:40.McHale was set point down in the 10th game. Now she has a set point

:10:41. > :11:00.of her own! SUE BARKER: I am afraid we are

:11:01. > :11:03.coming to the end of our transmission on BBC One. We have to

:11:04. > :11:11.leave for the news, the players are changing ends, emerge continues on
