Day 4, Part 3 Wimbledon

Hello and welcome for the first time from Wimbledon. We are very happy to

be with you and we hope you enjoy our coverage here on Centre Court.

Britain's number one Jo Konta is in battle with Eugenie Bouchard, a

former finalist here. When we had to leave on BBC Two, she was two points

away from taking the second set. Here she is with set point. That was

good enough to seal the set. It is now one set all so it is match on an

Centre Court between Jo Konta and Eugenie Bouchard. Sorry we had to

move over from BBC Two at that crucial stage of the set, but at

least we showed you how it was concluded. We can go there now with

no interruptions and join our commentators. Tracy Austin is

alongside Sam Smith. SAM SMITH: well, if you have just

come in from work, this is better than a box set, much better. Live

sport at its very best. And if you are just joining this match, it was

Konta actually be made the start, breaking Bouchard in her opening

service game, but the Canadian number one came roaring back to take

that opening set in just over half an hour. But Bouchard showed great

steel, much to the delight of her Spanish coach on the right. She

fended off so mini-break points -- so many break points. Here we are at

a set all. Tracy, I'm not sure I have seen a better women's match at

Wimbledon so far? TRACY AUSTIN: This is a Barry high-quality match. A

much anticipated match. The former champion and Jones looking on. I

also think the back story of this match is so interesting -- Ann

Jones. Eugenie Bouchard got to number five in the world but then

had a huge dip because of the expectation. She was only 20. So

many eyes on her, and she struggled to deal with the pressure. She was

very open about that. She said she was eating less because she was so

nervous before matches. She is looking much stronger this year,

back with her coach as well. For Johanna Konta, outside the top 100

this time last year. She played Maria Sharapova in a pretty decisive

victory for Sharapova on Centre Court. Now Konta comes out on the

second time on this magical, historic court with all expectations

that she is supposed to win. She has handled that situation beautifully.

A year is a long time in tennis and in sport. At 25, Konta is really

making that breakthrough at a later stage than you see most of the time

on the women's tour. It is that mental process, the mental coach she

has been able to work with, she says it is a process she has to go

through and think point by point, very clear and calm. She has

tremendous poise and very well spoken. We have had two excellent

sets of tennis on a day when the rain, I am pleased to say, has

stayed away. It looks really good for the rest of the week. It makes

us all very happy because it means we get the day off on Sunday.

So, it was Bouchard who had the first set, Konta dominated the

second. Here is Bouchard at the start of this deciding set.

These two had never played before will stop.

12 months ago they were living in completely different worlds.

The first 44 Genie. Just decelerated there. -- the first double faults.

Nicely constructed point. Good footwork from Bouchard.

A slight missed opportunity there. A second serve.

Beautiful the way Bouchard attacked that forehand. Didn't make the same

mistake there. Moved inside the baseline.

Not able to get that early break. Bouchard toughing out that service

game. SUE BARKER: Very quickly change over

an centre, but we will briefly show you what has been happening on Court

Number Two. This is an -- Ana Konjuh. She stepped on a ball and

fell over. She has the trainer on. She had three match points against

Agnieszka Radwanska. We will keep you up-to-date with her progress and

whether she can continue. It is not looking good. Back we go to centre.

This time in the evening there will be a little moisture.

She had one double fault until this game and now two already.

That is a magnificent forehand. Stayed down through it. What an

angle. The forehand is improved and particularly the sharp angles.

Bouchard was withstanding some punishing blows there. Great defence

to hang in the point. I think that ball was going to go

long. Konta missed out. Two missed returns. Konta has got to

get this one in play. This is the resilience from her that

we did not see last year. She looked miserable on the tennis court, as if

she wanted to be anywhere but hitting a tennis ball.

UMPIRE: Correction, the ball is good.

Miss Bouchard is challenging the call on the left service line. The

ball was called out. That is confidence for you.

Now she is flying here now, the Canadian number one. She sprints

into a 3-0 lead. There is her younger brother

William. Mum, Julie. Eugenie also has another sister Charlotte and a

twin sister Beatrice. They look very similar but have -- apparently they

have completely different personalities. Her mum has a slight

obsession with the Royal family when it comes to naming her children.

Genie calls her mum a closet royalist. I did not know such a

thing existed! I think she is out of the closet now!

Nick Saviano looks like he will job over that wall. He is so excited

with the level Bouchard is playing at today.

I haven't seen Genie play this confidently in a while. Second

serve, 98 mph, and she saw it early and attacking.

To the left of Nick Saviano is the Fed Cup captain for Canada. Both men

looking very happy with Genie right now.

Konta starting, excuse me, Bouchard starting to read that second serve

of Konta. That is a rather deflated Centre

Court crowd now, apart from that little area, as Bouchard leads a

double break. Henley hits the ground there. What has been happening over

the last ten or 15 minutes for you, Tracy? Bouchard has raised the level

of her game. Maybe the lack of experience on the big stage for

Konta is showing up just marginally. It does not take much in a

high-quality match like this to turn it.

I don't think I have seen as many Centre Court matches with so many

overrules from the chair and the umpire has got this one right. Gold

stars for the woman from Norway. Jo was saying that the lines person

called it long and that was the first indication of any call coming.

She has got to put it behind her. There is a fair chance that Konta

had a point there in terms of the out call interfering with her shot.

This is the level of tennis for Bouchard back to 2014. She is

hitting with so much power. It is outstanding from Bouchard! She

was reading the ball so well. Well, she is only 22 years of age,

she is still I can accept, but this might be a better version than the

one we saw two years ago. She is still a teenager. Very few

blemishes on her report card this evening.

And Bouchard really has stunned the Centre court. A brilliant display in

this final set. It almost feels like she has come full circle from the

heights of a couple of years ago. This is a young woman who had a

dream. She saw Maria Sharapova with the title here when she was just

nine years of age. I have got the feeling she is a very determined

young woman like her rival and she decided, I want to be on the big

stage, I want to be on the Centre Court. At 20 years of age she made

her first grand slam final right here at Wimbledon. That takes some

dedication, discipline and real talent. She talked about that and

how she felt all the pressure and expectations if you win the match.

If you lose a match it was a disaster and it was difficult for

her. Now she says she feels like it is 2013 again when she is playing

these matches and is not expected to win. I wonder if she gets into the

top ten, and most people that she will, she will handle it far better.

And hopefully with this man always by her side. A great coach. She

started working with him when she was 12, a long relationship. Johanna

Konta serving to stay in the match now.

You have got to give Bouchard credit, losing that second set 6-1

and coming out in this third set and elevating her game even more.

Also having to deal with a pro-Johanna Konta crowd. They have

been very respectful. I am sure Genie understands it is not against

her, just wanting Johanna Konta to play well.

That is the way and height of the net, a volley. -- that is the way to

finish the point off at the net. Johanna Konta says, OK, Genie, you

serve it out. Sometimes those mis-hit are the very

best shots. They make it awkward. Not let the disappointments seep

into her game, stay focused. Well, unfortunately for Konta, just

too much for her this evening. UMPIRE: Miss Konta is challenging

the ball on the baseline. The ball was called out. It is long. It is

the brilliant Eugenie Bouchard who goes through to the third round,

putting out the British number one. There is no doubt that Genie is

back. She played extremely well, served a big high percentage of

first serves in, three out of four. She dictated play from the baseline.

She looked very confident and poised. Hit the ball early, solid

and clean. Konta will be very disappointed. But it is also new to

her, just her second time on this centre court. God into the top 20 in

June of this year. It was a good fight back in the second set for

Konta. But she did not have enough. That is so good for Genie who has

been through such a torrid time at such a young age after hitting the

heights here two years ago. Konta will be back. I am sure. There is

lots to come for her, the Olympics in August and plenty of other court

events. But for Genie the next draw is not easy, Dominika Cibulkova. A

champion in Eastbourne last week. Played a wonderful match against

Daria Gavrilova on Court number 18 a few moments ago. It is good to see

her smile, isn't it? Yes, it is. Sometimes you have to have the lows

for these types of highs to be even sweeter the second time around.

Engaging character. She has a big fan base. She used to have the Genie

army behind her. I wonder where they have gone actually. They will be

back. I am sure they will. Here she is.

Very well done, and match of fluctuating fortunes. First set and,

second set not so good, how tough was it to regain your composure head

of the third set? It was very important. She hits a big bore and

plays good tennis and she was dominating so I told myself I had to

be bold and I did that. You were on the Centre Court by chance today,

how much do you enjoy this arena? I love it, there is nothing like

walking out on Centre Court at Wimbledon and I played good tennis,

so I am happy today. You have such trials and tribulations since the

final in 2014, how much stronger RU now as a player and a person? I have

definitely learnt a lot. There are ups and downs in ten is just like in

life and I feel better on the court and stronger mentally and

physically. A question about Dominika Cibulkova, you have had a

good record against terror. Yes, but every match is a battle and I will

give everything I can. It is Wimbledon, it is the only thing you

can do. SUE BARKER: It has been a roller-coaster over the last couple

of years since she made the final surprisingly two years ago. She

dipped down the rankings, but she is showing now she is back in form and

heading back to the top of the game again. Johanna Konta had her chances

with three breaks and had chances in the third. Some wonderful tennis

from both players, really hard-hitting battle on Centre Court,

but it is Eugenie Bouchard who goes through to the next round. Let's

show you what was happening on Court number two. This was this horrible

injury that young -year-old Ana Konjuh of Croatia got. You can see

her ankle really does severely turn over. She is in obvious pain. She

cannot even put any weight on it. Not down and out although she had

tears at the change of ends. The trainer is on and she strapped up

the ankle, but you could see she could not walk. She lost on her

serve and she is hobbling around the court and doing her best to stay in

the points, but it was only a matter of time before the number three seed

won the match. It was such a shame because it was a wonderful match.

The youngster from Croatia had some match points. She will be

disappointed about missed opportunities. A brave effort out

there and we will hear a lot more of this young lady over the years. Once

the tears have dried up she will realise what a wonderful match she

played against Agnieszka Radwanska. The number three seed survives, but

only just. And will another seed survives? This is the eighth seed,

Dominic Thiem, and he is two sets down. In that it is five games.

Let's join our commentators John Lloyd and John infidel.

That was a big, bold, positive forehand from the Czech player.

Well, he went for it and the net cord beat him. One thing we can say

about this match is they have both gone for big points, there has been

no fear. They have made some spectacular points down the line.

But that was a big point to miss. And a fist pump from the Czech

player because he is one game away from victory.

No second chance for Thiem. Jiri Vesely has just been so composed in

this game. He thought there would be some dips mentally. But he really

has not dropped his level. His serve has been phenomenal, absolutely

fantastic. Thiem has not found a way to get into the service games. He

has stood up very close to the baseline and he has not recruited.

They have been similar points, but he barely gets his racket on the

ball and he cannot do enough to get into these rallies. It has been a

top-class performance from Jiri Vesely so far. The match has been

very similar from the start until now, if we are approaching the

finish. Right at the outset we sensed it was a match that had a lot

of tie-breaks in it and we have had two already an Jiri Vesely has won

them both. If Thiem holds his serve here, we are heading for a third

one. What an easy game. Thank heavens for

the tie-breaks or we would the industry at that! OK, Mr Lloyd, who

wins this tie-break? I am going for Thiem, that he lost the first one.

The hardy few who have stayed behind for this are now getting really

involved with Jiri Vesely to begin this third tie-break.

To me in the scheme of things it is a good second serve, that Thiem had

that on his racket to get the ball into play and when you get a chance

on the second serve you have got to do something with the return.

Oh, that approach shot drifting long. The first mini break. Time for

a cool head from the Czech player. That is brilliant! And the first

shot was brilliant from Jiri Vesely. That is the point of the match. It

is at such a key moment in the match as well. That might have been a

match crosscourt shot. What a lunge that was there, that ball was

dipping viciously. Well, the big man with the big serve

knows it is his to lose. If you keep pounding in first service at 130 and

second serve at 103, it will be hard for Thiem to get this next break

back. That is one of the disappointing

thing was about Thiem's performance. He has persisted on the first and

second serves to try and take it on the rise early but by and large it

has not worked. He should stand back and give himself a fraction of a

second more to hit these groundstrokes.

That might be a big moment. He had a chance on that one and he pulled his

head up when he went to hit that background. -- backhand.

I do feel that Thiem has to win this point.

Oh, goodness me. Wild, wild. And Thiem now is in real trouble. Jiri

Vesely from the Czech republic, number 64 in the world, and he has

won the first two tie-breaks and here he is in the third with a 5-2

lead and a match on the end of his racket.

But Thiem is not the world number eight for nothing. Not the number

eight seed at Wimbledon for nothing. He is not done yet.

That was a big serve. Thiem more in hope than expectation you suspect.

He is challenging. But it was out! I think he had resigned himself to

being three match points down. But now he has got a chance to look at a

second serve. Again taking the ball early. 122

miles an hour on the second serve. Ridiculous. No fear. Well, after two

and three quarters hours it is the moment of truth for Thiem, the

highest ranked player potentially on the point of leaving Wimbledon 2016.

What an extraordinary final point and Jiri Vesely with a huge roar

knocks the number eight seed, Dominic Thiem, out of Wimbledon in

three tie-break sets. 7-6, 7-6, 7-6. He is six foot six and 14 aces and

heaven knows how many unreturnable serves and the big man is through

into the third round. SUE BARKER: Two outstandingly

talented 22-year-olds. We will hear more about them over the next few

years. Another upset here. We have lost 18 seeds on this fourth day of

Wimbledon. Before we leave on BBC Four, I can tell you what we can

look forward to tomorrow. Stan Wawrinka is up against one might

portrayed. Two grand slam winners in a head to head. Then the

all-American battle in the ladies' singles. Then I know Evans for Great

Britain takes on Roger Federer. Roger Federer, for the second day in

a row, will take on a British man on cord.

Nick Kyrgios is playing Dustin Brown. We will be there at 11:30am

on Court number two. I say we will be on the air at 11:30 a.m., but

play gets under way on the outside courts at 11 o'clock, so you can

follow them on the button and online. Clare Balding will be here

later. Coming up next on BBC for it is Top of the Pops 1982. Jimmy

Connors beat John McEnroe and Martina Navratilova beat Chris

Evert. That is next here on BBC Four. I hope you enjoyed our

coverage at Wimbledon. We will be back tomorrow with more at 11:30am.

For now from Wimbledon goodbye.
