Day 2, Part 2 Wimbledon

Here we go again. A heck of a shot from Murray. The writing is over.

Andy Murray is the Wimbledon champion. Murray loves that. He

loves it. Who knows what is ahead? That is a day we will never forget,

back in 2013 when Andy Murray became the first British man to win in a

building in 77 years. Here he is on the practice court this morning, and

has title number two in asides. He's been the best tennis in his career,

the man who steered him to do grand slam titles is back in his corner,

even mental -- Ivan Lendl. Good afternoon. Andy Murray will begin

his challenge at Wimbledon, and you won't have long to wait because he

is second on Centre Court, but we have a feast of tennis this

afternoon. Andy is one of the stars in action on day two of the

championship. Andy is on Centre Court and there he will face today a

familiar foe. Standing in his way is the Broady, North is all British

meeting at whim of them for 15 years. Serena Williams is bidding

for a seven crown and is already underway on centre. Stan Wawrinka

has yet to take to grasp but has former champion Richard Krajicek in

his corner. Jo Konta has gone to the wildcard to 16 seed in 12 months.

Can she continue her remarkable rise? Looking to shed a limelight is

Heather Watson, he will hope to put aside her recent struggles. Two-time

champion Petra veto over has yet to win a title, but is still one of the

favourites -- Kvitova. Let's see where you can see them. Serena

Williams on court, then Andy Murray and last on Centre Court, Wozniacki,

the former world in a one against Svetlana Kuznetsova. Stan Wawrinka

on court against the talented 18 role from America Taylor Fritz, then

Jo Konta faces a tough opener against Monica Puig. And Kvitova

complete the line-up. On Court Number Two, Nick Kyrgios. Bernard

Tomic there. Heather Watson, she will be hoping the rain does not

compare match. That is what we can look forward to

come this has happened already. Cibulkova has continued her

impressive form. She has gone through in straight sets, 7-5, 6-3.

She is only by boat free but packs a punch and will be one to watch. --

five foot three. She is through and you will face the Australian who

came through in her match. She lost the first set 6-2, but came back

strongly winning 6-3, 6-4. In the Men's Singles, Troicki, seeded 25,

he has won in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2. He is through in straight

sets. Andy Murray faces Liam Broady on Centre Court, and the winner of

that match will face the man from China, who came free straight sets

today. He is a winner and food to phase I bet Broady or Murray.

The two-time semifinalist, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was out on court

12 today and the 12 seed came through in three sets, 6-3, 7-6,

6-4. One popular player, to another, and

Dustin Brown who cause a sensation at Wimbledon. He has gone through,

what the bottle it was, 6-4 in the third set, but you can see a packed

crowd. Everyone living to watch this great entertainer, Dustin Brown.

Needed a wildcard, and he has rewarded the championship committee

by bringing off a superb five set victory out on court today. We will

be heading off to Centre Court is in the ladies defending champion in a

moment, but I keep mentioning weather permitting because we hear

there is some rain on the way, so Carol, when is the rain going to

arrive? Around about three o'clock we could see some spot in the sky,

cloud is building. The band of rain coming our way at IBM, as we go

through the afternoon. It won't be raining all the time, we'll have

some breaks in it, but when it clears at 8pm, we are not immune to

some showers. We are likely to see some interruption to play through

the latter part of the afternoon into the early part of the evening.

Tomorrow, we start off on a brighter note but at 12, 1pm, we are looking

at further rain, which will last for a bit longer, perhaps not clearing

until seven. When it is clear, we're not immune to some showers. Some

good news, on Thursday it looks we will see some sunshine, a lot of dry

weather and just an isolated chance of a shower. Lovely, thank you,

Carol. Not good news for those sitting on Henman Hill, they might

have to get the brothers. Before we head to Centre Court, just to update

you on a couple of matches. Aljaz Bedene is an action, and maybe not

be too long because he is two sets- 02 Richard Gasquet, that match is on

the red button. 15 chords on line, including the match involving Nick

Kyrgios. He has had a code violation, although we are looking

at Radek Stepanek. Kyrgios has had a code violation for swearing, but he

is 2-1, as a point to go 3-0. We are going to the Lady's defending

champion, Serena Williams, he was up against Amra Sadikovic, who is

playing in her first grand slam match. What a way to start, on the

web most famous court in the world. Let's join our commentators, Lindsay

Davenport, John McEnroe. Another important game, two breaks in the

opening set, nervous start. She had those break points at the start of

the match against Serena Williams, who was also tight. She desperately

needs to get on the scoreboard here. She did so well. JOHN MCENROE: The

crowd appreciates her ability to handle the situation and what she is

bringing to the table, which is the kitchen sink. To be blunt, she is

trying everything to throw Serena Arp. She's had some chances.

Good example again then. Big variety on the big hand, the slices were

effective. She's been disruptive when she's been on top of her game,

a couple of weak points, the second server where Serena has time to

attack. Anyone who can utilise their field, their touch, their slice,

move forward. And at the same time, still drive some ground strokes as

well. Serena has not been getting much rhythm from her opponent.

You would not call that your typical return. It looked like she wanted to

come in on it. Ended up slicing a forehand, floating it literally, and

got an error. That is forcing it from Serena

there. It looks like so much tension in her hands holding the rocket. It

is her fifth chance. Sadikovic to break.

What a reaction from Sadikovic when she did break. Good, strong this

pump up to her camp. You love to see that, a player not intimidated to

play against Serena. She has been, and certainly started off

intimidated, overwhelmed, and I think what she is feeding off and

feeling from Serena is really helping her to get in this match. To

be able to look up and pumped her fist and say, I could do something,

maybe win this match. It is amazing to think a couple of years ago she

was working in a tennis club, she quit, could not afford to play,

stopped enjoying it. She ignited her desire, came back, and here she is

as she is doing a pretty good job, she is 27. With her career where it

has been, she has only one three matches in her life. Never played a

grand slam. In her life. It is amazing, she can breathe. The main

draw, Centre Court, Wimbledon, Serena Williams. Up one break. Maybe

she should stop. The first double fault for a while,

is let her down at the start of this match.

There is a great illustration of the variety that Serena is facing from

her opponent. Top-spin to slice backhand.

It is like she is trying to pump herself up. It should not be too

tough to do that. You are at Wimbledon.

Seeing this, just the expression, it is almost reminding everybody of the

history here. It does not make a lot of sense, she's playing somebody

ranked 148 in the world. It does not, it is not logical. She is over

trying in the first round, in this kind of game, you can only imagine

the journeys ahead. First round the you build up, in case she hasn't

played since the French. You build it up in your mind, it is nice to

get it out of the way. A straight back. That we expected. When you

believe you can do something, your expectations rise. Unfortunately,

the level drops. Did you both get feelings in matches

at times when you knew whatever happens, whatever happened, you are

going to win the match? You would find a way? I don't think you are

ever 100% sure. He tried to get yourself, that is what you work for,

to get that age. Your feeling is as close to that, you can, without

certainty. You never want to say it is over will stop you don't want to

totally relax. I am not sure if it is Serena, I'm not sure if she is

scared. She now knows the level she needs to play at to hold the trophy,

possibly. And she hasn't been able to play at that level in the two

grand slam finals she's played this year. And she has trying to raise

her standard, but maybe little bit too early in this tournament.

It is so often said, the real Serena Williams turns up, she wins, end of

conversation. It is just a question, because is the real Serena Williams

going to turn up? Other players have garnered more believed with results

recently. The only other time I've seen Serena

get hit of a court, in a grand slam final, was when Sharrock over --

Sharapova beat her. Serena did not have a big say in how the match was

played. Think of how she did from when that match took place and to

now. Something tells me she will figure it out. Correct that record

of Steffi Graf. Six minutes shy of one hour, it is

something you always talked about Steffi Graf. If people can keep them

out there, it will go over one hour, that's for sure. It is a credit to

Serena that the bar is so high, that we say, will the real Serena show up

in seven matches. The real Serena does not have to show up for seven

matches, just one or two. She has to pick the right one or two to do it.

She does not have to be her best, she does not have to beat this

killed today. There are few people who can force her into a position...

That goes back to my point, would you suggest she comes out at 100%?

In other words, the very best Serena. She should always play with

intensity, as long as she doesn't wind herself of too much. It is

about being ready emotionally as opposed to expect in the level, you

don't need the level to be there. A series win down under for the rugby

team. A bit of good news for England. It has been a tough week.

Jill Brooke sitting next to Dominic Cooper, an actor.

This is where Sadikovic really needs to want a good first serve here. It

has not been very successful with the second serve points, just 36%.

That is a sloppy error from Serena. Knock it down that forehand, didn't

get up to it. Wow, scare tactic worked. Free- free

-- 3-3, second set. It has put a spring in his step.

You have two admire the game plan. She came in with an idea of what she

wanted to do. Serena not covering that line should the way she needed

to do, that was the only shot she could hit from that position, that

line open. That second serve has been proper

Matic four Serena. You can see there, the speed is ten mph less

averaging to date. She does not feel confident on that second serve. That

was one of the reasons why it was so difficult to attack that shot. It is

odd to see Serena then sure of all the shots, the serve, it has always

been the most reliable part of her game.

With average first serve, it was about 104 mph. Is that the

superhuman Serena serve we've watched for a dozen years? She has

served more aces in the tournament than men. Five sets. We've always

talked about the biggest weapon in women's tennis. There it is. Sees

her in front at 4-3, second set. It is really fascinating watching

this battle with Serena and herself and getting this record. I know we

are banging on about it, but it is the main talking point with Serena,

isn't it? I think she wants to erase any doubt in anyone's mind she is

the best that ever played the game, and so there are people out there

who would say, if you don't break these records, Steffi Graf, you

can't be considered, even if it was a given Kira, even if Steffi Graf's

topped 29. -- a different era. Bjorn Borg played at once. There are

things you can look at and say, these people win a lot more. Given

that over the course of the last 20 years, when Australia did such a

good job of improving their facilities and getting everyone to

play, and the recognition of what it would mean to win more Grand Slams,

the pressure has mounted on the people like Serena, trying to

establish themselves as the great, the greatest of the greats. Basing a

number of the greats, the Chelsea Pensioners. Bain might have been

around then -- they might. How well left is that! Everyone was

holding their breath. It is or is dangerous to leave a floating ball,

which could be put away for a volley. I bought a better challenge

there, but we have an open court, you don't want to take that risk.

Footwork. Yes. Reached for that return.

Maybe this one will work better. She has gone for a slightly losers

one or an even tighter one, having missed long? I would go losinger,

because of the stress, she is not feeling it, get some power, easy

power. Of course, if you go tighter, then you have to swing harder.

Marginal difference either way. The tension, I would bet on that.

Good job recognising that drop shot was coming, Serena moving forward,

nicely there. It is no surprise at all she has

manged to make this as competitive as she has. It is interesting to

watch Serena and see how she is playing some of these points,

playing not the lose, we have talked about the tension that you can just

see in her game. New balls in play, if play. That

should help Serena here. Five of those. Three this one game.

Fifth game of the match. Still held serve.

So after when you feel insecure about your second serve it carries

over do your fist, you don't want to hit a lot of second, do you go for

your first serve? That is always the shot you want most solid and sound

in your game. That second serve, no doubts.

Think she was pleased to serve, really. That second 76mph.

You never hear a player say my forehand was off today, and

effective my serve. So often when it goes off it affects

everything now. I probably watched her play a couple

of hundred times at least, and I would have to say this ranks as one

of, for her, the bar so high, we talk the greatest shot in the

women's game or serve, but this is one of the worst serving efforts I

have seen from her. You pin that down? Obviously she

would only know, I guess, got any hints as to why? Nerves is playing a

big part in it. She has phenomenally athletic strong legs that she

doesn't seem to be using as well as she normally does. The issue is

nerves again, or whatever she is feeling that is contributing to her

inability to sort of focus on what would be second nature. I mean

barely have to think about it. This is what is giving other players

hope, when they see this is that aura of inVince built is seeping

away. Other players have to hang tougher, hoping that something like

this could happen when they play her, knowing they are better than

this. Very few free points with her serve. Two or three.

Normally it is two or three a game. Serving to stay in the match,

Sadikovic. If you take into account she is

struggling on her serve and not playing particularly well and out of

sort, a 6-2, 6-4 win won't be a disaster by in means. You lose sight

of the fact she is still a few points from winning this. Let us

hope she thinks that, Serena in this quest, as opposed to the alarm bells

ringing. I would never look at this tape

again, don't even bother. Just move on, just forget it, win

the second round. No reason.

It's out. It's out. What a shame. She is challenging. Ladies and

gentlemen, Miss Sadikovic is challenging the call. Did Serena

break her string? Something with the racket.

Everything has been a little highly strung today. You couldn't help

yourself! Yourself! Three match points.

It's in. Doesn't want it to be over quite yet.

Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Williams is challenging the call on the

baseline. The stress, look at the stress

there. It gets better now. She has won her

match at Wimbledon. Beaten ten times at SW19. Terrific embrace for the

qualifier Amra Sadikovic. She is amazing, winning or losing, at that

moment Serena. The defending champion. The history. She is

through to round two. Rarely if ever have I Sheerhan

challenge any call so it is nice that she finally did and won the

match on it. Maybe she will do it a little more often. Nice ending for

Serena after a few wobbles in that second set. There is no question she

has room to improve. Really, just, the tension, and the anxiety she

feels on court. She got through today which was the

biggest test for Serena. And for Sadikovic, Lyndsey, what day for

her. Amazing, we have talked about it before, how a player who has

never played a Grand Slam match handled this kind of occasion and

she did so beautifully, and this has to be the career experience of her

life so far. Both players walk off with a smile for completely

different reasons. The obligatories. Will she win

Wimbledon this year, do you think is this Serena? Every match is

different, every match is a different ride, a different

performance. A different mind set from Serena, so still the favourite

to win, it will be interesting to see who she has to beat along the

way. Aggressive player, players more comfortable on grass. And to see how

she embraces this moment, the next 12 days. Extraordinary record, where

ever she plays but 80 wins here. Just 10 losses. Hard to bet against

that. The inevitable selfies. She could be

there a while. Does mum ever get stressed about

anything? Not just one daughter but have to live in, be in that role

twice. To be the mum of two daughter who have won Wimbledon 11 times

between them. So many highs but she has been there for whatever lows the

sisters have encountered as well. She has been such a strong force for

them. So round one done. Into the tournament, Serena.

What next? And what emotion are we going to be sharing with her, in her

quest of history? Hour and 13 minutes Serena Williams wins 6-2,

6-4. She is about to talk to Lee McKenzie.

Congratulations, straight sets victory, but with a tougher opponent

than you may have thought beforehand? I never underestimate

anyone, so it was a really good match. But I I don't think it was

tougher than I thought, it was definitely tough, but I always

expect the best from everyone. In terms of your own performance, what

pleased you most out there? I started fast, so that is a start for

me. That is about it. But you were celebrating points that came your

your way but you looked like you were shouting at yourself and

pushing yourself. This is me, I am always shouting at myself and

pushing myself, so it is actually nothing different. You are back on

Centre Court, you family were in the Royal Box, how special is it to be

back at women? It is great to be back at Wimbledon. Mum was in the

Royal Box, so that was nice, I have to get my dad to come out here.

Everyone had a good start. Thank you so much. Thank you.

Lovely for her mum to be in the Royal Box, and to see her daughter

with a straight sets victory, so Serena Williams challenge here at

Wimbledon continue, and she has her sights set on winning that elusive

22nd Grand Slam title, but what a lovely match to open up proceedings

on the second day of the Championship. Swill, the world

number one through in straight sets. -- Serena Williams. A little twirl

from Serena on centre. Let us find out what is happening on Court One

where Stanislas Wawrinka looks in charge, two sets to love up against

the 18-year-old American Taylor Fritz. That is on BBC Two right now

and a match you can see on the Red Button is on Court Three, Vinci

finalist at the US Open last year, two games all, early stages. Many

matches online as well for you to follow, including the match on court

16 that features Katie swan, a wildcard, into the Championships.

And there we will see it in a moment, and she has lost the first

set six games to two. And one match point to bring you,

Nick Kyrgios is through in four sets against Radek Stepanek of the cheque

republic, he had match point in the third set. Lost it on the tie-break

but come back strongly, -- Czech Republic, he is through to face

Dustin Brown in the next round. He put out Nadal last year, what a

match that will be. So here on Centre Court, Serena the

defending champion is through, next on court, it will feature Andy

Murray, and who can forget what happened here on this court, three

years ago. Here we go again.

Heck of a shot by Murray there. The waiting is over. Andy Murray is

the Wimbledon champion. Murray loves that.

He loves it. Who knows what's ahead? That is a

day that we will never forget. I have just walked down from the

studio, there is a piper out on the street with the bagpipe, they are

all going to get supporting Andy Murray and I am sure they will be

supporting on the hill as well. It is an all British affair as he takes

on Liam Broady, Murray against Broady that is the match we are

looking forward to, Centre Court await, Andy's challenge here at

Wimbledon. John and Tim are with me reliving 2013. That was day the

British sport will never forget They are never going to forget yesterday

either for a different reason, but so let us focus on... You promised

you wow wouldn't say anything. His best shot against Novak is the gap

is close, the Klose for him, I think here, and he would be the most

confident. Not that he didn't play great in the first set o at the

French. Not he didn't beat him at the Open on hard Court, he has to

relish the chance to get him again in the final. You feel Murray is a

better player now than he was in 2000. The bad news is so is

Djokovic. There is no doubt about it. Djokovic has continued to raise

the bar. You look at the 12 months, winning the four major, how

consistently he has played in the biggest events. I agree with John, I

don't like toing it. On a grass court Murray has never lost to him.

He beat him in the Olympics as well, and I think that is where Lendl, you

know, if they were to get that match up would have a part to play. OK,

here they come. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Andy Murray comes on to face a Britain's Liam Broady. It funny we

were talking at Queen's he hadn't played a British man in a tour match

for ten years, now he has played three in ten days. Amazing, there

aren't enough British players on the tour for him normally to play

against but playing at home with the opportunities of wildcards, he has

had a few local derbies this is a great opportunity for Broady, you

know to be out on Centre Court, he has only won one match on the tour

and that was last year, and ranked further down in the rankings it will

be a tough task. It has similarities of Ward with Djokovic. I only see

one winner but I hope Broady can give a good account of himself. You

say he came through, he came through a five set match, but this is a

different ball game, playing on a show cowering, to play on Centre

Court. We talked about it in the last match, the first match on

centre, it is not easy. The only guy he said he didn't want to play was

Murray. But at least you get the, to know you are going to play like a

Centre Court match. It has been tough for him. I think he has had

some issues with the fed rankings I played with him as a junior, there

was a lot of hope and expectations, now it seems like he is heading

ranking wise in the wrong direction, she doesn't have much money or

support and any real means so he is desperate. So he wanted to maybe get

somewhat of a winnable match, get some cash in the bank so he could

pay for the rest of the year, perhaps, he is going to have to

figure out a way to have someone room with him if he is going to play

Murray. When you start going the wrong Wray it is hard to turn it

round. He made good strides on the futures then the challengers tour

and made his highest rank was 158. When he build up some good matches,

then he was moving in the right direction, but, you know, he has had

trials and tribulations off the court, then you lose that momentum

and his ranking has dropped back. This is not the ideal match to start

building momentum but hopefully for the rest of the year he can take

something away and get back higher in the rankings. He practise, he has

been on the Davis Cup team, he practises with Andy, there is not

the our you are looking down the other end and you are seeing a great

champion. But because they know each other it is not quite as bad. It

balances itself out. On the one hand what you say is true, he is playing

in the Centre Court. So that tips it back to the oh my god, please don't

like it be like James Ward, and James pull it together and did

himself proud, to get to it a tie-break and play 6-4. This is

Broady, he is, to me, this is me, I am not thinking about winning, he

is, he wants to not get embarrassed. He will worry about the winning part

if he can stay close for a while. You have been reminding us, he may

be 233 places below Andy. We won't mention that match, it is beware the

outsider. European Championship and England's

embarrassment is Iceland's ecstasy. What a response from the underdogs.

Our first round match up you have some guy, Andy Murray, it is an

incredible way to start this Wimbledon. It is an amazing

experience, an amazing opportunity. I have nothing to lose. I will go

out there and hopefully on a big court. I will give it everything I

have got and hopefully put on a good show. When you see a draw like that,

does your heart sink a little bit when you get a player of Andy's

calibre or do you think of this as a great opportunity? I see it as an

opportunity. Like I said, there is no pressure, I usually perform well

in front of big crowds and I hope it will be a big crowd again. Andy is

number two, I am 230 something. I a about am looking forward to it. You

were hitting earlier in the week with Milos Raonic and John McEnroe,

do small things like that help you when you take on someone like Andy?

Some of the players have an awe a, they have a star quality. Andy and

mill loss have that, it is good to be round the big names to be

comfortable with your surroundings. Do you have to go into this match

with Andy and just hope for the best, see what happens and really

take as much experience adds you can from it? I am going with a

opportunistic mind-set. I am not going to set any boundary, I will

work for every point and just, see where it gets me. For people who

don't know your game, what would you say your strengths are as a player

on grass? People will see come Tuesday. No secrets at all. No, I

think I do everything pretty well. I mean obviously with Andy for

instance he has strengths all over his gape. I wouldn't say I have

strengths everywhere by wouldn't say I have real weaknesses anywhere, I

move very well. When I am playing my best I can serve quite well, I

return very well, so I think it could be a good match up.

He certainly sounds very confident Liam Broady. He has talked the talk,

can he walk the walk? I am with Tim, because John won't be walking, he

has walked off. He won't be doing any more talking, he has to go to

American televisioning and I got hit by an Andy Murray serve. This is, I

mean Andy when you look at the last four tournaments he played he won

two and made two final, he is really in form. He is. The whole clay court

season he played very well. Although clay is a different surface, you are

slipping and sliding and have to be patient, it is a great foundation,

because you hit so many balls, you are in great shape physically and

mentally you have had to be resilient, he has had such a good

run of form, he took that into Queen, I felt it was going to be

difficult for him, because he looks exhausted, right after Roland

Garros, but with a couple of good wins he got through to the latter

stages, he has Lendl back in his corner, to get another title with

the ideal preparation coming into Wimbledon. The way he turned that

final round, before we talk about Liam Broady, just that match against

Raonic. He was almost 4-1 but he turned it round and played so well

in the last set. He did and Raonic was so impressive for the first

set-and-a-half. I don't know if that was anything to do with Mr McEnroe,

he was aggressive, when you have a serve like that it is difficult to

play against. Murray, when his back is against the wall, that is when he

hoes the fighting spirit. He was able to turn that second set round

and get back on level terms and his game got better, for me, this has

been the best I have seen Murray coming into Wimbledon. He looks in a

great place physically and mentally and I think we exacts a great run.

What are you going to be looking for as far as Andy is concerned? What

will give you the good signs today? Two words, proactive and reactive,

when he is proactive and dictates play with his ground strokes that is

when he is at his best. When he gets reactive he is forced a bit further

back behind the baseline, the angles open up a bit and that is when it

becomes more difficult. Look out for a high percentage of first serves to

set up the point to dictate from the baseline, as I think everyone would

say we expect him to come through fairly comfortably. The umpire has

called time but you can't hurry a Murray can you, he will take his

time and have a couple more serves, as far as Liam Broady is concerned,

the left handed serve, it is not a great advantage against Andy,

because he has such a great return, he has to attack him. He does. If he

can. Yes, and this is a huge stage for him, he has never played on

Centre Court. It is important in a big match, he has to take his time,

not to rush and get a foot hold early on, concentrate on his first

couple of service games so if he can take level on the score board, one

or two or three all, and find his feet. There is no doubt it will be a

difficult match for him. ? We certainly saw yesterday what Marcus

Willis did on court 17, and let us hope that Liam Broady embraces the

situation against Andy Murray. Tim is on his way to the commentary box

to join Andrew Castle. All yours Andrew. Good afternoon to you and

let us hope the rain stays away, we have a roof though.

He has nerve lost at opening match at Wimbledon. This could be the

first of seven of this year, Liam Broady we hope he plays well and

does himself proud. -- nerve.

235th in the world, he's been to United States, South Korea,

Thailand, Shrewsbury. And now the man from Stockport

playing against Andy Murray on Centre Court, delighted for Liam

Broady, good man. World number two, first achieve the

ranking of number two in 2009 after his first woman semifinal, Andy

Murray. -- Wimbledon. He finished in two last year for the first time.

Sue Barker were saying, Andy Murray coming in off a superb clay-court

season. Ivan Lendl there, we are catching one of those moments. Hay

fever sufferer. If Ivan Lendl said he was allergic to grass and that

why he didn't make Wimbledon, and he made two finals.

When Sue and I were talking before the match at this northern end of

the court, there is a significant breeze coming down from behind

Murray, down the court towards Broady.

And a very shirt Liam Broady won't have known anything about the breeze

-- and I am very sure. Andy Murray knows every inch of the Centre

Court, dude advantage these big players. To have played in these

arenas -- huge advantage. That sort of back and is not the

sort of thing you see on challenges. When you have your mind in trouble,

it is unlikely to get out of bed, this is a good work, he is moving

well. Talked about how the start is

important, Broady trying to establish himself and Murray trying

to make life difficult. Oh, he is down. Oh, it is too bad.

He was down on his knees on this one, it is all well staying nice to

the surface, nicely done. No joy on the double hander.

Eight minutes of play, Andy Murray in control at the moment in this

first round match. He has always won his opening match at Wimbledon. The

last time he lost at this double was back in 2008 Australian Open, and if

you had to choose a surface, but he is good on all of them, he might

choose grass as is never one. He has the best record since 1968, and he

is ahead of Pete Sampras and Bjorn Borg. Unbelievable winning

percentage. Six most grass court titles, he has added a fifth Queen's

Club title to that, seven grass court titles in total. And this is

Djokovic on grass, he has never lost a set. So, if he gets to the final,

you can expect a straight sets win over Djokovic, we have already

played the tournament. Not getting ahead of yourself? I can't see a

final at this point which is different from Murray against

Djokovic, and I think the whole drawer will agree with me, except

Roger. They are the form horses, when you look at the Grand Slams.

Djokovic is consistent, he's been amazing, but Murray is not far

behind, and on the surface, as you say. I like Murray's chancers. I

want Liam Bridcutt win this game, that is partial of me. -- Liam

Broady to win this game. This could be torrid for Liam Broady. He

deserves more. A big game for him. Well inside the top 100, Liam

Broady's Big Sister, Naomi. I don't be fooled the younger one is.

Catches win matches. Appalling work from a photographer, I believe. Andy

Murray doesn't hit many of those of second serve. Oh, you have got to go

with two hands, haven't you? ?30,000 worth of camera there.

Line Romeu from Liam Broady, he is off and running. That is good news.

-- line ball. That is mum of Broady, proud. Let's

see if he can become part of this match.

It is almost like Murray is hitting uphill, with the wind in his face,

he has to use the width, hold the ball up. Is that the same each time?

Is that the feeling players readily will expect? Not from this direction

but it normally is going north, south, or south to north. It is not

really a stadium where the wind swirls. If you are in New York, it

can get quite swirly. Day two of the Championships,

approaching 3pm, and Andy Murray is in contrast out on Henman Hill.

Well, for the purposes of this commentary team, that is what it

will remain. I was watching breakfast television this morning.

Andy Murray has a quickfire 62nd, one would answer is, tea or copy,

and he said neither. He was asked, Murray brothers or William sisters.

He was asked grass or clay, he said grass. He was asked Henman Hill or

Murray Mound. He said Henman Hill. You can get your planning permission

for that bungalow you want to put in there. It will be bigger than a

bungalow, I tell you that. Oh, is that right? He will concede that.

Just an outrageous player. To reach all four major champion ship finals,

just the tenth man in the history of the game, by reaching the recent

French final. And putting Liam Broady down quite firmly. In the

opening stages of this match. Started this year at number 301 in

the world, it is hard to make a living at that level, up now to 235,

but a lot of computer point coming off.

Computing point coming off affect some players, especially when you

are believed to hundred. You're not into the challenges definitely --

beneath 200. He will take a big hit on the rankings. If he loses this

match. The last match Broady played was at

Wimbledon one year ago. He lost to Goffman. Dominic Cooper on the

left-hand side. Merry that slice well to change not

only the pace of the play, but the direction going low to Broady's

forehand. A couple in the that one long.

Big Sister, Naomi, lost in the first round of this tournament. It was a

tough draw. 5-2 in the first set. Massive

advantage for the big players, you were one of them, going out onto one

of the sort of court, and there is no bigger court. Did you know how

intimidating it was? Yes, definitely. It used to be even more

intimidating when players had to bow to the Royal box, and I remember

some of the foreign players playing on Centre Court for the first time,

they were so petrified of making a mistake, they were more near this

about that than the match. You talk about the giddy stages of a match,

and in any sport it is about doing the basics well, and you look at

some of Murray's numbers, 72% of first serves in play, 18 points on

serve and only dropped two points, that's a great foundation to play

on. When you have those solid returns it gives you that platform

to be aggressive, look to get the breaks. He will be delighted with

the way things have started. That is Chris Robshaw the, with Camilla, his

wife. Wasn't he in the England team that just beat Australia? He had

direct back to get to Wimbledon. 3-0, we beat Australia, good, he won

something. There are normally Aussies around when we lose, now

we're winning, we can't find any. He has missed the area one, the

defence was excellent. It was such a good shot from Murray

down the line, and that is one Lendl is a big honour, when Murray is

struggling, he pulls off, his weight goes in the wrong direction, he

stayed through the wall. The news came out the Sunday before

Queen's Club that Andy Murray would be rejoining a man with whom he

enjoyed so much success, 11 grand slam finals Lendl lost, so much in

common with his charge. And Lendl was the first machine out

there, the one who never looked like he was a superbly gifted athlete,

you knew he chiselled himself with work. Andy Murray is like that. But

you would never describe him as without a get, he is a superb player

now. Quite capable of playing his best tennis of his career. Nice idea

from Liam Broady to try and change things up, but 95 mph not going to

cut it against Murray's return. That is away, and the set has gone

weathered, 25 minutes for Murray, 6-2. So, let's discuss a theory, the

possibility you could not cede the players ranked between 17 and 32.

And that way, we can have more close matches in the first set of all

Grand Slams. The first round? And the way it used to be, I'm not sure

when it went from 16 to 32 seats, but for me, given the choice, I

would go to 16 seed, when you put those players ranked 17 to 32, even

down list and Ivo Karlovic, you throw those as dangerous floaters

into the draw. I can't remember which year either, I should know

that. We do have a programme here, which we will discuss. You see an

awful lot of one-sided matches, players who are not used to playing

in the big arenas. And the top players, like the 52 seeds, because

it gives them protection. Looking at those first stats from Murray, 92%

points won, 80% on the second serve, that is the foundation he likes,

very few unforced errors. Not giving the new boy out on Centre Court to

many freebies. I have to be honest, the writing in the programme, even

with a magnification, I can't see the numbers by the players. You

reflect on some of the higher seeds, Sam Querrey, dangerous, big serve,

28 in the world, Kevin Anderson, to Djokovic 25 set last year. Not a lot

of people would like to see him next to their name in the draw.

To finish the argument, the top seeds, top players, 17 to 32 in

particular, they will say, my ranking deserves a protected place

in the draw. Good second serve return from

Broady, and he's had half an hour out here to find his feet. When he

gets, he looks at second serve, he needs to be aggressive.

But with Murray serving at 73% first serves, he's not getting many first

looks at the second serve. In fact, Andy Murray has any lost

four points on serve so far, one behind the first serve, and two

behind a second. We're not seeing a repeat of the fairly lax Murray

performance we saw at the beginning of the French Open when he was two

sets down against Ruddock said the Starting a new step, Broady has two

dig his heels in and make a solid first serve, he can't afford to give

cheap point to Murray. How was that won on the baseline, is

what Murray is saying question what it did not stop the rally.

Nagin Rooney coaching Liam Broady -- Nathan. A player himself.

Nigel Sears on the left-hand side, watching his son-in-law. Leon Smith,

on the right, he won an award at the National tennis awards recently. Dip

down at the last second, it was a muffled call of out. The call came

at exactly the same time as Broady was playing the shot, it was

interpreted he was playing the shot's outcome, hence they play a

let. If the call comes after Broady has played the shot, he loses the

point. A bit of a judgment call that.

This looks like one-way traffic entirely here. As a player on court,

if you do not maintain your momentum, you lose your course. He

wants to keep the momentum, he does not have the second set yet, he

wants to keep it coming. APPLAUSE Murray will feel a little bit

annoyed that the call came against him in that game.

If Murray gets the double break in the first set, it means he conserve

first in the second set. -- he can serve. Broady will always feel like

he is playing catch up. APPLAUSE Not only are you playing catch up,

when your opponent is playing this well, you feel like they are rolling

through their service games in 80, 90 seconds.

He still only lost three points on his serve, Andy Murray. Let me tell

you about Liam Broady, I don't think he will be in the tournament for

much longer in the singles. He cut ties with the LTA to make peace with

his dad Simon, his sister Naomi had her funding cut back in 2007. She

went out on a night out, there was a couple of pictures taken and the LTA

did not like the picture, myself I thought they were quite harsh, I do

not know the whole story. The funding was cut. The dad Simon, a

property developer, he was annoyed about the whole thing. Liam decided

to take LTA funding back in 2012 and his dad and him fell out for some

time. I think they are trying to patch that up. These things get so

personal, so quick and it is really difficult. It has caused a rift. I

am glad he is out there and playing hard and playing well and he has

this opportunity. It is tough on mum Shirley, the brother Callum and

everybody. Hopefully that situation is improving. He won his first

service game in the second set which will make the team feel better.

The longest rally of the match, 21 strokes and with the wind behind,

Broady is able to stay in the rally, it gives them a bit more weight of

shot. Murray not able to hit through the court.

APPLAUSE Broady able to stay in the rally,

but he must not let the ball drop to Central, that is where Murray can be

aggressive, put the ball forward and put it away. -- too central.

He has had a few matches coming in here Liam Broady, nothing like

Centre Court. The first round in Manchester, Luke Southall, the

Australian. -- Saville. He almost beat Dan Evans in

Nottingham. That match against Evans, the only

tour match of 2016. Some quite brutal draws for the

British players. James Ward against Novak Djokovic, the first match on

this court. Djokovic is the defending champion.

Marcus Willis, what a story that is. Marcus Willis! One of the lads! A

seventh victory and an excellent win yesterday. APPLAUSE

Do you think you started off in pre-qualifiers, here I am 30 matches

away from the title? Or I might play Federer in a few weeks' time?

My seventh match will be main draw and my eighth will be against Roger

Federer! Roger is going to enjoy that and I think Marcus Willis is as

well, I do hope so. APPLAUSE One of the most difficult draws

actually was Kyle Edmonds, he was against Marino, he plays better on

grass than he does on any other service. He is up to 68th in the

world. Alexander Ward? Did you mention him? A very tough draw.

Wildcards, much lower ranks, they are coming into the best tournament

in the world, they will be playing better players, but it is still a

great opportunity. Hopefully they learn from the experiences, they

take away surprise money that they can invest in their game and develop

over the next 12 months and be a direct affect on their rankings next

year. There is a lovely, little waterfall over there if we pop over

to Henman Hill. The grass is not quite as soft as it was. Hopefully

people are not getting to wet as they perch on the hill. You should

have seen what it was like on Thursday and Friday. Wednesday

night, the most recorded rainfall in an evening was 25 millimetres and

they had 60. It was a bit messy, Thursday morning. So was my seller.

-- cellar. I like the attitude from Liam Broady

as he tries to get involved in one of these sets. It is all one-way

traffic at the moment. Can he makes headway on the Andy Murray serve?

Here is a little bit of something for the Broady finally. -- Liam

Broady finally. A little excited. A great return.

And it is the right shot, when he gets the opportunity to step in and

plant that left foot. He has the 0-30 point, he has to go for it, he

is not just going to out rally Murray.

APPLAUSE The ball was called in. Broady using

Hawk-Eye. He had to check with the amp I about how many challenges he

had and when they were renewed. -- he had to check with the umpire.

Two challenges remaining. Almost pulled the left shoulder away

a little bit early. Smothered it in the net.

Some proper defence here, isn't it? Again a nice idea to move forward,

but when you come in you have to get closer than the service line. He was

probably a foot high into the service line there, roadie. -- a

foot behind the service line there, Broady.

Andy Murray, we talk about this dominance on serve, 0-30, just a

moment ago, Liam Broady unable to take advantage. Taking a look at how

close he is going to the lines and where he is actually serving, it

could be an advantage if people could have access to this with their

mobile devices. If Liam Broady had won under a towel and had a look at

the Wi-Fi. Andy Murray is not going into the body too much and that is a

reflection of Broady's core position. When he is serving he goes

quite far back, if he is going into the body, Broady has a chance to

step out of the way and have a free swing. When you are further back,

that opens up the angles, Murray looking to swing the ball out wide

on the deuce box. That dress code is not just the Invision on your own

programme, he carries it through to his own life. A superb bowtie. You

do not want to come underdressed here.

He does not want to look at the scoreboard now, either for the score

all the time. He is still nine minutes short of the hour.

Another 60 of those and I reckon Broady can win this match. LAUGHTER

New tennis balls. Probably favours the server.

APPLAUSE We saw Liam Broady chasing out of

our shop there absolutely full pelt with about only five or six feet

left before he starts hitting people. I wonder where he went? He

is back. The first to double-faulted, 55

minutes played. -- the first double fault.

APPLAUSE The physical work that Andy Murray

has done, that was a good spring. Also the dexterity. When he is up at

the net, he has such good hands, he has a good feel for follies, I would

like to see him finish more points up at the net. -- volleys.

Good to see dad Willie up there watching Andy Murray as well. Just

focusing on Liam Broady for a second, he won to slam doubles

titles, Wimbledon and the Australian Open in 2010. -- two. Liam finds

himself between 200 and 300 in the world. It looks as though it will

stay that way. He is 22 years of age, he works hard, but it does not

look like he has the game to be a top 50 player. Why not? Why is that

transition so difficult for so many British players? I am not sure there

is this massive transition people talk about. We have players that

have good results in the junior game, but they do not go on to

become professional players because they do not have a game that is

developing for the longer term. You look at Liam's game, he is competing

hard and doing all of the right things, but there are aspects of his

game that are not good enough at this stage. It seems like he has

been around for awhile, but he is only 22, how will he develop more

weight of shot, get more aggressive at the baseline, play closer to the

baseline. For me this is a journey. Andy Murray won the singles in the

juniors, but his game was developing. There was a long-time

ambition not just to be a good junior but to break to the

satellites, the challenges and get into the tour and win Grand Slams.

The British game is too interested in the junior results, we need to

look at the foundation that will work in the professional game.

And one further point to finish off the transition between juniors and

seniors which American university does so well, you play so many

matches the whole time, less reliance on being a good practice

player, better reliance on being a good match player. APPLAUSE

And not a lot of nations can finance junior players playing. There are a

lot of people who do not play junior tennis at all and then arrived

afterwards. So, there we are. Got Broady coming to the net there

and I was just reflecting on Murray's net approaches in this

match, he has been to the net ten times and he has won nine of those.

Admittedly this is not Djokovic at the other end, but to be successful

against Djokovic, he needs to approached the net more often to

become more confident against more aggressive players. -- to approach

the net. Andy Murray talking at Queen's Club

about how his performance numbers are so highly measured these days.

When he trains, on all the equipment he uses, the numbers now are better

than they have ever been. Physically, while he has to

understand his body and his recovery, and I'm sure he does now,

he looks every bit as good as he ever has. He is certainly moving as

well as he ever has and he is understanding his game as well as he

ever has. He is. I remember when Murray made the decision to have

back surgery, I'm sure a lot of people had doubts about how he would

recover from that. Introducing yoga and Pilates to his regime.

I don't think there are many better athletes out there.

That was in 2013 when he had the back surgery.

He's working his way through his game nicely here.

UMPIRE: Mr Murray is challenging the call. The ball was called out. He

has given it to Murray. Broady should fight this one.

I think the five set matches in the early rounds in Paris affected

Murray. Strangely, a first British opponent,

at one of the sport's major championships for Andy Murray, ever.

He hit the ball very nicely, very cleanly, Liam Broady. Not enough

weight or muscle on the ball at times. Certainly, the server will

have to improve if he wants to get into the top 100, but he has seen

Dan Evans do it. Kyle Edmund continues his improvement as well

and James Ward. Some good signs in British tennis. It is all about

participation now and getting more players playing. He is a very lively

chap, Liam Broady. His beard has his own Twitter account. I know you

don't know any of this nonsense, Tim. Not yet. I said there is as

much chance of you getting a Twitter account as doing Strictly. Or

growing a beard! It would take me a while, I think! I think I will give

Twitter a miss for the moment. I have managed to avoid Strictly as

well. After seeing your two left feet. At least I had a go. You are

one of those end of a disco in the sixth form sort of guys, right? The

only time you ever set foot. I get plenty of advice from my three

daughters to stay off the dance floor.

I clenched fist right over to the Chelsea Pensioners there. They loved

it. Broady might not go on to win but he

has competed well for every point. A British crowd always like an

underdog. The umpire there advising Broady

that you have to challenge the call in a timely manner.

Andy Murray will be defending his Olympic title in Rio this summer.

He did all the hard work and got the shot he finally wanted with Murray

out of position. That double fault was the

consequence of the missed volley. UMPIRE: Mr Murray is challenging the

call at the left baseline. It is an interesting one because Murray was

unsure if Broady's shot was long. Then he challenged the call.

UMPIRE: It stands. Advantage, Broady.

With the best will in the world, there is no chance Liam Broady can

stay at the back of the court and beat Andy Murray. Some impressive

hitting. It is recognising when he can move

up the court a bit more. Murray soaking up the pressure. Another

highlight from Broady. Just one hour and 20 minutes played.

From the back of the court, he would have known going out there, and so

would the team that he works with, if you train from the back of the

court, against the best or second best, you're not going to win. I'm

surprised we have not seen a little more variation, particularly on the

backhand side, some drop shots. Anything to change the view. It is.

From a tactical point of view, with Broady down two sets and they break,

you are thinking this game plan, this strategy is not working

particularly well. Is there any other variation he can bring to the

table? The problem is, not just with Broady but a lot of players, there

is not really a plan B. They serve to start the point and then they

trade these baseline rallies. They do not have the dexterity and

technique to come forward and volley. Therefore, the Plan B is to

do plan a bit better. -- plan a bit better.

That was the forehand down the line that gave Broady the opportunity to

step into the court and push Murray a bit further back. That is a good

strike, recognises the opportunity, moves forward, plays the drop shot.

UMPIRE: Mr Murray is challenging the call. The ball was called out. What

Murray just having a look at the ball to see if there was any chalk

on it. A little loss of concentration.

Plenty of damnation from Liam Broady.

Two serves out wide since you said he should move in.

Momentary hesitation going to the forehand side.

Again. Have you played this game before?

When you go back to matchplay, you gain awareness and that is when you

can think under pressure. A challenge to confirm that.

That was the demonstration of soft hands from Andy Murray. The pass on

the backhand side was strong from Broady. He had to take the pace off

and that was not easy. Beautifully done.

We used to call that he and. -- keying off.

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic giving Andy Murray three clay-court

defeats. More to come for us with Andy Murray

after Wimbledon. The Davis Cup coverage will be in Serbia. Liam

Broady doing a good job of hanging in there. It does seem inevitable

that he will lose the match to Andy Murray. Were you surprised when Ivan

Lendl was brought back on board? I was a little surprised. Andy and

Ivan kept in touch over the couple of years they were apart and I felt

that Ivan Lendl was the only person that Murray would have really looked

to have brought back into the equation. Jayme Doll Bardot did a

very good job in the past three or four months, someone I was at school

with. -- Jamie Delgado. He will be the

continuity. Mr Murray has asked to check the

call. The ball was called as out. It still amazes me how much the ball is

checked to see if it lands on the line. He went to play the second

shot of the rally, the ball did not come onto him, he stumbled.

Mr Murray has no challenges remaining.

APPLAUSE UMPIRE: New balls, please.

Great to see him here at Wimbledon. Baby Sophia is somewhere around,

probably at home, she is not that far away. What an important year for

them. New parents. Baby Sophia just over four months old now. It is a

rare time at home for Andy Murray. One game away from getting into the

second round. It is a malevolent appearance for

Andy Murray. -- 11th appearance. Broady coming back from two sets

down in Australia last year. It seems a bit unlikely that he will be

able to pick himself up and win this one.

A couple of break points in this set. 12 months on from that mauling

from Roger Federer, one of the greatest servers you will ever see,

that was his last match at on Centre Court. Andy Murray looks very

comfortable as you would expect. A nice loosener so far, still has not

won it yet. STUDIO: Andy Murray will come out to serve for the match, the

British number one on Centre Court. Over on Court Number One, Konta, a

set point against Puig on Court Number One, she has talked about the

pressure of the expectation. Not feeling the pressure at all as she

sailed through that 6-1. We thought it would be a difficult opponent,

Puig. Konta and Great Britain going well on Court Number One. Here is

Andy Murray serving to the match. -- for the match.

CHEERING APPLAUSE

ANDREW CASTLE: He has certainly settled into this match, just as

James Ward did yesterday. Broady trying to get this first break of

serve, this would be a handy time for it. APPLAUSE

APPLAUSE The ball was called in. SLOW

CLAPPING It did not look that far in! GROANS

FROM CROWD CHEERING

Job done for Andy Murray. Liam Broady obviously delighted to share

the court with this champion player. CHEERING

And it is a welcome back to S W 19 for Andy Murray, straight sets.

Some good tennis from Liam Bridcutt out there, certainly intimidated to

start with, settle down quite nicely. -- Liam Broady. Certainly an

intimidating experience, but he has nothing to be embarrassed about. He

will pick up a very sizeable cheque. Andy Murray advances predict the

blue. JEERING -- Murray advances. CHEERING

Murray may well have seven matches at the Championships this year. Once

again he has been in great form. See, I told you they were getting

on. They like him and his beard. LAUGHTER

He has enjoyed his experience. Murray in great form, no particular

drama for him. TIM HENMAN: Know, and it was an opportunity for Murray to

find his feet. I do not think we should forget how professional

Murray was in his performance. -- no. He was aggressive in the

baseline and he will be delighted to move through to the second round.

Just through those doors, you go back in and you have a bit of a walk

around. I have to say, it is extremely dark here on Centre Court

and the court covers have moved on in here, this may be the last tennis

we see for a while. They did predict some rain on the Centre Court. The

roof may close, we may see our first indoor action. We will look at the

way he put in his finishes touches to this match. After the French Open

final he took five days off. He had a bit of a cold. He came in here

full of training and that fifth title at Queen's Club as well. It

must've been nice to share the court with senior colleague. So, the cover

comes across for the first time at Centre Court. The clouds are

certainly heavy and leaden, a feature of our summer so far, we

have not really had it. The week before Queen's there were a few

sunny days. The groundsman and his team keeping an eye on the weather

forecast. They are thinking about whether to inflate this cover or

not, we will see. Let's see if it works this year, Tim. It looks like

they need to put a couple of 50 peas in -- 50 ps in. LAUGHTER

The next match could be indoors. Quite a straightforward straight

sets victory, how would you rate your performance? I served pretty

well. Offensive Lee I thought I did some good stuff. Maybe defensively I

could have done a bit better. -- on the offensive. Coming out it was

pretty breezy at the beginning. We have never played each other before,

we practice a lot. It is not easy playing someone you know. It is an

interesting dynamic, rated 235 in the world, but a young player you

would normally be supporting, is there no room to sentimentality at

this level? Obviously, we start the match and we are just trying to win.

It does not make it any easier. You just want to go out and try to play

a good match. Lee plays better as the match went on, he may be did not

start as well as he could have done, but as the match got on he was

better and he fought right the way through today. He played some good

stuff. Yes, I think it was good experience for him. An interesting

atmosphere out on Centre Court. It has been waiting for a long time to

see two British players. Was it a interesting experience to have the

crowd not just cheering for you? It was definitely different, the crowd

is always very fair here anyway. They always get behind both players.

Obviously, they are pretty knowledgeable about the game. They

know what a good shot is and what isn't, today was the same. Liam got

good support and I think when he left the court as well he got a nice

ovation as well. I am sure he will have enjoyed that. Congratulations

to you, thank you, Andy. Well done, Andy. He does so much to help the

British players on tour. He really does support them, he watches their

results all around the world and they remain good friends and Davis

Cup team-mate he was with Liam Broady. Andy will certainly be happy

when he sees what the weather is looking like out there. It looks as

though the rain is imminent and Wimbledon is wisely closing the roof

and rain is on its way. I am hearing from people in west London that it

is pouring there. We certainly will be getting some rain in the next few

minutes. Let's get a brief reaction from Tim and Andy in the commentary

box. I have my reliable app, Andy and it says rain in a few minutes

and that is not good news, but great news we have a roof. ?2 39 your

particular app. LAUGHTER -- ?2.39. It looks like an indoor

tournament today. Andy will be happy to get that one finished. He can now

relax, go home, put his feet up. Have a chat with Ivan. Yes, he

played a very solid game. Sometimes it is not so straightforward. It

looked like he was timing the ball well, striking the winners and yes,

he will be even more pleased as you say. The rain looks like it is

coming. He has finished his match and he is able to get his day off

tomorrow and when you reflect on Roland Garros when he had those

matches in the early stages, he had to play day after day after day. If

you go deep into the tournament it does not give you so much time to

recover and make sure your batteries are charged for the latter stages.

Andy, he asserted his authority on that match right from the word go.

It must be nice to come out with experience and to play someone more

junior to yourself, you know they will be nervous, they are sharing

the court with a legend. He stamped his authority on its like Djokovic

did with James Ward. The greatest thing we have in this game in this

country is Andy Murray as an example to these guys. Not only does he

support them and is happy to do so, but he demonstrates the level of

professionalism you require. No stone unturned to gain perfection.

He has brought Ivan Lendl back on board, that will not always be

comfortable to hear things he may not want to hear, but Andy Murray

leading by example. There are only two men on his mind, Roger and Novak

Djokovic. They are taking the covers off Centre Court, but outside the

brollies have gone up and the rain is coming down with a vengeance.

Everyone is scurrying for cover at the moment and trying to get the

covers on the outside courts. Really not looking very good and that will

affect Konta who is out on Court Number One at the moment although

she is a set up and she... It will all be struggling as everyone runs

for cover and we hear the brain could be here for quite a few hours.

-- rain. That will be a bit of a headache for the tournament referee

and the players. They really do want to get so many of these first-round

matches completed because that halves the tournament, 128 players

coming to 64. Not looking too good at their, grey skies all around

Wimbledon, but look at that, beautiful, the roof is on and we are

guaranteed play. The players for the next match will be making their way

down to the court in the next few minutes. Your app doesn't put Carol

Kirkwood out of a job? Your app is not as nice as Carol Kirkwood! I

would always listen to Carol above my app, that is for sure. Andy

Murray, he helps the British players, he follows their results

around the world. When you see someone who is world class and you

work alongside them, see their work ethic and how much time they put in,

it rubs off. I think he is leading from the front. Andy has had a huge

influence on Kyle Edmund, he has had him training out in Miami when they

are there for the off-season in December. Sometimes we struggling

British tennis because we have not had the strength and depth and have

not had the standard set across the board whether talking about the

juniors at 12, 14, 16 or the professional players at the very

top. That is where Andy has been invaluable, it is easy to talk about

the winds he has in Davis Cup, but the professionalism, that commitment

and dedication that unique to compete at any level in world

tennis, he has that. -- the wins. Konta has been a great role model.

She is now in the top 20. Yes you need some tight and you need some

game, but it is hard work and commitment you need to commit to. --

some time. I hear the new commentators are trying to get into

the box and you are not letting them in. We are warm and we are dry and

we have a kettle. We are all right. LAUGHTER

Kuznetsova is a two-time grand slam champion, she is coming up soon. The

best in the business was on Centre Court first up, Serena Williams, the

defending champion, she was coming up against Sadikovic. That is Serena

Williams's mother. She was very proudly watching her daughter put in

a straight sets victory. Great memories for Sadikovic, she almost

gave up the game and she came back, but awarded with a match on Centre

Court. She played very well. Serena goes through in straight sets. She

is looking for her next grand slam title to equal Stephanie's record.

After the match she spoke to Clare Balding. -- Steffi Graf's record.

What did John mother think about being in the Royal box? -- your

mother will stop she was excited. We have been coming here for over a

decade, it was nice to get her in the box. This is your 17th

Wimbledon! It is almost two decades! She will have to stay there for the

other matches. I think so. Also in the box is Dominic Cooper, an actor

who was in the history boys with James Gordon, they are big friends.

I think she needs to have a word with him. She definitely does. I

have not seen that film. He has been in lots of movies. He is big friends

with James Gordon and there is something you have to do. The car

thing? Is it like a Mustang? You can sing. I have seen your karaoke. No,

I cannot really hold a tune. He can know. You could go big, go with it,

do the moves. I might be the first person to get kicked out of the car!

You want. You will not get kicked out of the car, you would love it.

The diamond earrings are very nice. Thank you. De Gea get those? -- did

you get those? Yes, that is why I am wearing them! They were a gift from

a friend. Diamonds are a girls best friend. They are always with you

through sick and then. No matter what happens. You could sing

diamonds are forever, that could be your car song. I have actually sung

that song. It is a really good song for me and for my tone. Yes. That is

the one. You have the diamonds for it. It is perfect. I know you are

very good friends with Sheryl Sandberg and it has had a big impact

on your life and you have been a big support as she has gone through a

tough time. Are you living more by this sort of moral understanding of

lean in? Yes, I think it is strong for women and strong women, we need

to support each other and build this network and this group that supports

other women and that is what it is all about. I am so happy to be part

of that and to know Sheryl and just to be her friend, it has been a

great experience for us both and at the end of the day we always come

together and we do some fun things and I really love it. I just noticed

even playing tennis, at the end of matches you are very warm. You

embrace your opponent, you did it today and you did it at the French.

You seem more supportive. Yes, I feel like the success of every woman

should be the inspiration to the next. If women look at it like that

more, then it could create so much success throughout women as a group

and as a whole. That is how I like to look at it. When someone wins or

someone succeeds, it is an inspiration to May and I'm truly

happy for them. We have to talk about your match. -- to me. What

were you happy with, what would you work on? I was happy with how I

started, the first three games were great, unfortunately you do not win

a match on the first three games, it got shaky after that. If I can

channel that and continue to do that, I think I would be good. If

you could give yourself a rating of how you feel fitness wise, movement

wise, where are you now? I feel like a ten, but anything can happen.

Thank you very much. Lovely to hear from Serena and she has been such an

inspiration to so many players on the tour and a straight sets win on

Centre Court today. This is the scene at Wimbledon on day two, we

work promised it would be raining and it has just come when Carol

Kirkwood said it would, just before five o'clock. An unfortunate scene.

The first reign of Wimbledon 2016 and I think they will have a long

wait. Those people are queueing to Centre Court tickets because they

are hoping that a few people will be vacated in their seats and they sell

them on and they get a chance to see some live tennis. Not a very happy

seen here at Wimbledon, but we have had plenty of play, many results to

bring you if you are just joining us here on BBC One.

We will start with the Eastbourne Champion Dominika Cibulkova. She has

continued the impressive form she has shown down on the south-east

coast. Mariano Lodz Baroni is not tall but is a power player. -- no Ya

know Lou kicked Baroni. Katie Swan was beaten by Timea Babos of

Hungary. In the men's Championship, many

results to bring you. Lu will play Andy Murray now. We remember him

from 2010 when he put out Andy Roddick which was a big shock. It is

Lu against Murray in round two. And Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has played so

many memorable matches here at Wimbledon. He has twice been through

to the last four. He was a comfortable winner today.

We all remember Dustin Brown who put out Rafa McDowall last year. He was

rewarded with a wildcard into this year's championships, and he

certainly rewarded the crowd with a wonderful display of tennis yet

again. He goes through to face Nick

Kyrgios. He was on court earlier today. He won and four sets against

Radek Stepanek. The 37-year-old. It is a very friendly embrace because

Stepanek offered to help mentor Kyrgios and you can see good friends

embrace at the net. After the match, Kerry spoke to John Inverdale.

This promises to be an entertaining match. Dustin Brown is one of the

most interesting players on tour and I think a lot of people will be

looking forward to seeing me against him. It will be a lot of fun. How

long have you known him? What has your relationship been like? He is a

guy who does not take themselves too seriously, he is always ready to

have a laugh or joke around. I have known him for a couple of years and

I am a massive fan of his tennis. Give me three words to describe

Dustin Brown. He is entertaining. I feel like he is special, he is

definitely a special tennis player. And he is probably an entertainer as

well. He loves entertaining the crowd. Have I said that? I am only

asking you that because we have asked him for three words to

describe you. What did he say? He is doing an interview at the moment

upon the roof. I will take his words because we are similar! You are good

mates. Will you be happy to lose to him? I am not thinking about that. I

will go out there with the same mindset I have in every match and

just compete and see how it goes. From the public 's point of view, it

is the kind of game that people will want to go and see. How much is it

about being more than a tennis match, it is about putting on a

show? I think the number one priority for both of us is to win

this match. We have both made deep runs and had our best results here.

We both understand it will be a tough match as well. When the other

guys playing well, we can do special things on the surface. Do you fancy

having his hair? No, but I do like it. I have touched it several times.

We have very different styles. I have no idea what to say to that!

Feliciano Lopez is through in his opening match in straight sets.

And it is wonderful to see you Juan Martin Del Potro back in a Grand

Slam tournament again. He has missed the last nine. He is now working

with his coach who used to work with Andy Murray. He came through in

straight sets against Stephane Robert. He has been off the tour

because of injuries. He is back and it is great to see him back. One of

the good guys. And Benoit Paire, the 26th seed, he

took three hours and 54 minutes to win his match in the eighth and

final set. He is in Andy Murray's half of the draw. He will be

delighted to get that one under his belt.

Stan Wawrinka, the number four seed is on Court Number One, against the

very talented 18-year-old from the United States, Taylor Fritz. He

almost closed it out but then it went to a tie-break. Many people are

predicting Fritz will be a future top ten player. It was Stan who was

the boss today. That was when the weather was a

little kinder to ask. As you can see now, the rain is coming down very

heavily indeed. No prospect of play on any of the outside courts for

some time. The radar is suggesting it will stay with us for some time.

Everyone trying to find something to do on the outside courts, but very

happy for those on Centre Court. I think they will be very busy in the

food court and the bar areas at the moment. That is under Court Number

One where that food quarters. We are heading to Centre Court because

Caroline Wozniacki is on court against Svetlana Kuznetsova. It will

be a very different atmosphere on Centre Court. It has a very

different feel. It is becoming an indoor tournament. They are under

the lights but we are happy to have play for you as the rain comes down.

They are just about to get underway, perfect timing and we can join Tracy

Austin and Arie Davies. BARRY DAVIS: we are looking at

Caroline Wozniacki. Her partner seems to have been

around for ages, from Russia. She celebrated her 31st birthday

yesterday. She has two grand slam titles to her name but has never got

past the quarterfinal here. A change between the two matches

with huge efficiency by the Wimbledon authorities.

TRACY AUSTIN: the first thing you notice with the roof on as the echo

of the ball. That is the shot Kuznetsova will be

looking to dictate with all day. Very difficult for Wozniacki to get

any control on the quality of the forehands in this opening game.

Kuznetsova comes from a family of cycling. Her father a coach in that

sport, her mother a world and Olympic champion in that sport. Her

brother silver medallist in Atlanta's at that sport. You could

say at Wimbledon, she is already on her bike! A terrific first game.

Playing with so much aggression, very quick around the court. One of

her other big weapons is her serve. It is fascinating to see how she

plays that shot. For Wozniacki it is the backhand

which is the bigger weapon. Court position will be very

important. Nicely done. I love the aggressive

mindedness of Wozniacki. A very quick and authoritative

intervention by the umpire from Croatia.

Neither player yet finding their range.

Both players knowing that they will not have the time to have a slow

start into the tournament. It starts at a high level right away.

Debts of with one of the best kick serves on the tour. Many have a

kick-serve but very few can get it with that much power -- Kuznetsova

with one of the best kick serves on tour.

Attacking the second serve of Wozniacki is definitely part of the

game plan for Kuznetsova today. There she tried to get it to the

Kuznetsova backhand. It is uncomfortable for her.

The first challenge. The first action from Hawk-Eye.

UMPIRE: The call stands. The first three games suggesting we

are going to get a match. A match that the status of these two would

justify. Absolutely. When we saw the draw, we knew this was the match to

look at for the first round. Kuznetsova was a US Open champion

and Wozniacki two-time finalist at the US Open. These are a couple of

the biggest names in our sport and playing in the first round. This is

a tough first-round matchup. Caroline Wozniacki had a difficult

spring. She sprained her right ankle badly in training before the

clay-court season. She was in a plaster cast. She let us know

through social media along the way how she was progressing. It took a

long time and she missed the whole clay-court season. She looks like

she could do with a little bit of help and a safety pin coming late to

the day. One shoulder perfectly fitted, the

other one off. Tough for Wozniacki when she was

world number one and people said how could you be world number one when

you have not won a Grand Slam? She won six titles each year so she

was very consistent. That is what they teach you! Don't

try and be clever, just make them be courageous and control something

they probably cannot control. Wozniacki is known for her

toughness. That was a justified challenge. It was pretty close to

the line. Not close enough. Terrific footwork. Good shoulder

turn. Good courageous play by Wozniacki.

Kuznetsova hit the pass and moved quickly forward. It looked like she

had a lot of room to hit. A great job saving three break

points from Wozniacki. Never panicked.

An excellent pass from an awkward position from Kuznetsova. The ball

got behind her. UMPIRE: Miss Wozniacki is calling

the ball. -- challenging the call. A very good holder for the game.

Errors at the start of the game, then cheat got herself back to deuce

and she can feel pretty satisfied with herself. Very much so, that is

the kind of game you expect from Wozniacki, she is down, she just

keeps on plugging away, never gets upset with herself. It is

interesting, on the other side you have Kuznetsova who will just hit

shots that are so powerful, but sometimes not the right shot.

Whereas Caroline Wozniacki plays well within herself and usually

makes such good decisions and does not have that raw power.

In a day and age where there is very little diversity in the game as far

as the serve and volley is, this match has that contrast. --

volleyers. That is a face with some concentration.

Oh! APPLAUSE Brilliant. Incredibly constructive

point there from Kuznetsova. So much power at the beginning. A little

versatility with the drop shot, well disguised.

That was an excellent return from Wozniacki, hard and deep and up the

middle. Gave herself a good margin and Kuznetsova absorbed the paste

beautifully. -- the pace. The backhand, the bread and butter

shot for Wozniacki. So much confidence on that wing.

Both players hesitated after that second serve, Wozniacki and

Kuznetsova on her second shot, thinking her seconds was out. -- her

second serve was out. APPLAUSE

The baseline, the ball was called out. The call stands. Game, Miss

Kuznetsova. The line judges have been right every time so far. 3-3,

the opening set. To horrific serve to open up the

court. -- a brilliant serve to open up the court.

APPLAUSE What a good rally! Lots of good

shots. Kuznetsova showing her improv skills on the full stretch on the

backhand. A nicely executed drop shot.

A loose air on the return and that sums it up from Kuznetsova.

APPLAUSE UMPIRE: New balls, please.

Sometimes there is the fact that people that makes mistakes -- that

make mistakes add something to the watcher. Let's look at this. This is

an example of Kuznetsova's serve placement, this is the kick-serve

out wide. It really jumps out wide. Up to the two hander of Wozniacki.

Out of the strike zone. Some on the tee. And the slice is out wide. In

the deuce court to move away from the forehand of Wozniacki. The key

is Kuznetsova has variation on her serve, she can use the kick-serve,

the flat serve, the slice serve into the body to all the different

locations. It is really difficult to guess where she is going to serve.

She will be thinking about it now. She is free four down in this

opening set. -- 3-4. A few people moving around behind

Kuznetsova. APPLAUSE

An interesting point. Kuznetsova seemed to be on the de-fence and she

used the backhand slice to great effect to get the point back to

neutral. Wozniacki does not have that backhand slice, it is a great

asset to have. I should say Wozniacki has a

backhand slice, but it is kind of to hand shop where she shoves, it is

not as easy for her to hit on move. -- shot.

LAUGHTER She only has one challenge left.

That was an effective backhand slice from Wozniacki. With two hands. You

do not often see that. Kuznetsova breathing pretty heavily,

going for the towel. Pretty audible determination.

I game hard won by the Russians. -- a game hard-won by the Russian. It

is so nice to finish the game off like that.

The first point, rather gifted. A mental lapse.

I always thought that was just a small weakness. I am talking really

small weakness, but that could make a big difference when you get to

crucial matches of the later stages of big tournaments.

Five unforced errors for Kuznetsova, but she goes for a lot on that side.

She pushes the limits. APPLAUSE

It is rewarded there. You win some and you lose some. You play with

fire if you go to that side, can you weather the storm if you Wozniacki?

-- if you are Wozniacki? That is some moustache behind

Wozniacki! I think Wozniacki is going to be very pleased with the

way she has played so far. She was out all of the clay-court season

because of that right ankle sprain. A very bad sprain and she came back

and played three grass court tournaments, Nottingham second round

and Birmingham and in Eastbourne she lost in the third round to Puig. She

said she started to feel better at Eastbourne, two months is a long

time to be off the tour and she is the type of player that needs those

matches. Splendid! In every sense. A bit of pressure on Kuznetsova now.

Having to hold 4-5 down. Kuznetsova making that point look so

easy. A brilliant court position, on shoulder turn, balance, loose arms.

One thing Kuznetsova does too often is on the running shots on both the

forehand and backhand, she goes down the line too frequently. If it is

not a winner she leaves it open to her opponent.

APPLAUSE Unless it is down the line like

that! Seven out of -- seven to four

baseline winners. A good solid game by Kuznetsova.

There is Carlos Martinez, the coach of Kuznetsova.

She is cross with herself, the Russian. She found a good winner on

point one. Peppering the Wozniacki forehand, I

think Kuznetsova should put more of her shots to that side. The backhand

from Wozniacki just has more velocity. You really have to come up

with a winner. Oh! That is casual. A ridiculous word to use at this stage

of a set. But even so, she really did not set herself... Break points.

Too much. APPLAUSE Well done, Wozniacki. To get up to

that drop shot very quickly. A nice first step, good racket work when

she got there. She broke at the start, Kuznetsova.

She has now broken at the end of the set, which gives her the opportunity

to take the set. And she is just a little bit ahead. Not just in games,

but just the better player, Kuznetsova. That game was such a

crucial game and Kuznetsova played a little bit better than she had been

playing. About 20% better and Wozniacki back off. The combination

I think is what caused the break of serve. There is Peter Wozniacki on

the left, Caroline's father and her coach David Cortese as the coach of

Petra Kvitova. He has seen it before. So close and yet so far. She

has the chance to recover. We'll Kuznetsova give her the opportunity?

-- will. Wozniacki looking up at her father

and coach. An impressive service game. Three

set points for Kuznetsova. Kuznetsova really kicked it up a

notch, maybe two that last game. She just looked so focused, aggressive,

hitting her spots. Winning that game in less than two minutes.

Not much between the two of them. I just felt there was a little bit

more drive in the Russian. A little bit more personal belief. There is a

little extra gear she can go to with the power, more variety in her game

as well. The drop shot is very comfortable in the forecourt. It is

all a question of whether Kuznetsova can keep the unforced errors down

and stay focused and sustain that level. Of course, someone like

Wozniacki is going to push you out of that.

Kuznetsova goes for more of her shots and takes more of a risk.

The roof on, if you have joined us late.

This is exactly where Kuznetsova likes to hit the forehand, from the

centre of the court. That is a beauty! She hit that

superbly. Facing a couple of break points.

Wozniacki got broken in the first game at first set.

Aggression normally pays off on this surface. It is so important to get

the first strike. Once you get on the defensive, it is tough to

recover. I make it that Wozniacki has taken just four points out of

the last 20. She has brought her game to another

level, Kuznetsova. She is playing without any pressure,

looking very relaxed. Perfectly executed point. The big

serve out wide to open up the court. Another terrific point using the

depth and then the short slice backhand, so using the length of the

court, not only the width. What a delightful drop shot.

Kuznetsova is beginning to run away with this contest. That is a very

difficult shot to hit. The shot from Wozniacki came with so much power.

Terrific finesse. SUE BARKER: Time for us to leave

Wimbledon here on BBC One. It continues on BBC Two. We will have

tennis for you and the roof. Just before we go, time to round up the

main stories of the day. The defending ladies champion Serena

Williams was first on Centre Court and comfortably won in straight

sets. She is in to the second round. Her mum was in the front row of the

Royal box. She will face Christina McHale. Next on Centre Court was

Andy Murray up against fellow Brit Liam Brady. Murray started well but

Broady played himself back into the match. Murray just seemed to have

the answers when it mattered. He won the big points and he won the three

sets. Andy has been such a supporter of Liam. A warm embrace at the net.

A wonderful experience for Liam. He played well. Stan Wawrinka, another

top seed in this half of the draw. He won in four sets over a player we

will hear a lot more off, Taylor Fritz of the United States. So, that

was earlier. We will continue to watch the rain. Hopefully we will

have play on the outside courts. We will have play under the roof until

8:30pm. Andy Murray was on Centre Court and in the Battle of Britain,
