Welcome back to Wimbledon, and isn't this a wonderful picture, blue sky, | :00:40. | :00:48. | |
the sun is out and play is under way on this middle Saturday. So much to | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
get through. Andy Murray is on Centre Court but, at the moment, | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
over on Court Number One, Novak Djokovic is fighting back. Having | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
dropped the first two sets to Sam Querrey last night, he came back on | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
court today and he is two breaks of serve up and 5-2 up, Novak Djokovic, | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
as we can join that match live with our commentators, Tim Henman and | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
Andrew Castle. Sam Querrey held serve, suddenly a break of serve and | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
more errors flowing from the Djokovic racket. If he can hold | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
again, who knows what is going to happen? To get a set back against | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
Novak Djokovic would be incredible. But at least Querrey has got the | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
engine going. After the resumption, he came out pretty cold. Certainly | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
after the first set, that was really nip and tuck. The tie-break could | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
have gone either way. Querrey was playing the better tennis. Querrey | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
dominated the second set and Djokovic has been dominating the | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
third. Maybe a momentary lapse of concentration, but it does look as | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
if this is going to go into a fourth set. | :02:10. | :03:16. | |
Well, this is more like it from the US number four, ranked 41 in the | :03:17. | :03:28. | |
world. A player who has won already this year in Delray beach, playing | :03:29. | :03:29. | |
with such confidence. This game coming up is going to be | :03:30. | :03:40. | |
interesting. Three games in a row, double quick time. | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
Suddenly, these first couple of points on this game are very | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
important. The sun is in the wrong place for Novak Djokovic. As I say | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
that it has gone in. In part three, Querrey's footwork is | :03:58. | :04:35. | |
so much sharper, tracking down the balls, turning defence into attack. | :04:36. | :06:36. | |
Well, obviously, this match made big news last night when Sam Querrey, at | :06:37. | :06:46. | |
8:02pm, slammed yet another ace. It was 7-6, 6-1 up. From the resumption | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
this morning, well, from 35 and 30 in the first game on his own serve, | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
after that, Novak Djokovic fairly dominant, but he still had to work | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
at it. In the first two sets, Querrey getting 70%, first-served | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
percentage is dropped. It's given Djokovic the opportunity to get into | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
more baseline exchanges. That is where Djokovic has been able to turn | :07:18. | :07:18. | |
things around. Querrey doesn't want to be spending | :07:19. | :07:29. | |
too much time rallying. That much obvious to him, sure. But a staccato | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
match. No real rhythm for either player. It on, it off, and that is | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
an equaliser. It certainly is, and this early part of the will be vital | :07:45. | :07:53. | |
for both players. Querrey has to try and find that service rhythm. | :07:54. | :08:40. | |
He's got to find that balance between consistency and aggression. | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
Three feet behind the baseline with a forehand error then trying to | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
really drive a low ball with the backhand. | :08:54. | :09:03. | |
A reminder that Novak Djokovic found himself playing another tool, | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
dangerous opponent, Kevin Anderson of South Africa, on the same court | :09:09. | :09:19. | |
last year. -- another tall, dangerous opponent. | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
Djokovic came through to win his third Wimbledon title. | :09:27. | :10:16. | |
I tell you what, mark that one down. There are not too many times over | :10:17. | :10:32. | |
the course of a year, on a second serve, on break point, he's going to | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
miss the ball. Very unusual. Better first serve. When he got the | :10:37. | :11:55. | |
forehand, it was like he snatched it a bit. A bit quick with the swing. | :11:56. | :12:18. | |
No more than a rallying ball for Novak Djokovic. Both players a bit | :12:19. | :12:30. | |
tight stop -- a bit tight. Full is to so rare to see Djokovic making an | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
unforced error at a point like this. Querrey will be keen to finish in | :12:34. | :12:54. | |
this game right here. He might have been guilty of ball | :12:55. | :13:22. | |
watching it, Sam Querrey. He was there. | :13:23. | :13:46. | |
That was a big hold of serve. Important. Break points saved. | :13:47. | :14:13. | |
Djokovic is a very crosspatch at the moment. He was very cross this | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
morning as well on the practice court with Boris Becker. This is | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
where the coach has to show some authority and guidance. I always say | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
what these coaches bring. On the practice court this morning, you saw | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
it. If Boris is saying nothing, everybody had better watch out, | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
because Novak is floating through, no problem, but Boris Becker getting | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
involved, you know, there is a bit of an issue. | :14:47. | :16:38. | |
Don't tell me we are in for a third break here. Last night, just after | :16:39. | :16:48. | |
8pm, 12:26pm today was another, and I'm very sure that the umpire said, | :16:49. | :16:59. | |
lets stop. Unfortunately, on this service, -- surface, there is no way | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
you can control a slide. If a player goes over, that is not what we are | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
about. No sign of Masaryk, the court covering chief here. -- maverick. | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
His team are beginning to emerge at the back. Masaryk not there. | :17:19. | :17:26. | |
Studying at KCl, studying medicine. He had a blue top on earlier. Where | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
is he? No. I spoke to the referee a couple of | :17:30. | :17:44. | |
minutes ago and he said there was a small shower in the area, but a | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
chance it might only last for five minutes, hence why the players are | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
being kept out on the court. Just hope there isn't too much moisture | :17:56. | :17:56. | |
that falls on the surface. So this upset that was talked about | :17:57. | :18:14. | |
last night, it hasn't looked like Sam Querrey is going to win this | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
match yet, has it? That was a big hold in the first game there, but | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
the third set, really, Djokovic all the way. This upset is not on the | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
cards yet. Such a long way to go per Querrey. You still feel at this | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
stage of the match that Djokovic is the favourite. The early part of | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
this fourth set will be vital. Who can wrestle the momentum? | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
One of 24 men in this draw to have won a grass court title, Sam | :18:50. | :18:58. | |
Querrey. This was always going to be a demanding match for Novak | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
Djokovic, and it's demanding because of the weather, as well as the fact | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
he's trying to come back from two sets down for the fifth time in his | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
career. He did it on this very court last year against Kevin Anderson and | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
he's going to have to be resilient. So are the crowd, and so is Sam | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
Querrey, as they go off again for the second time today, the third | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
time overall in the match. It's absolutely pouring. They need to get | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
on court now and cover it. I would have thought... And still they wait | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
at the back of the court. The more rain falls on this service now, the | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
longer the delay when this small shower passes through. Just from the | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
concrete onto a carpeted area, through the double doors, there is a | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
little anteroom on the left, a loo on the right, and they go all the | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
way down to the changing room. Quite a long way down. There are a couple | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
of locker room is there, just next to the entrance to Court Number One. | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
With them going into those locker rooms, it would imply that the rain | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
is going to stop pretty shortly. Looking out from our commentary box, | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
it does look like the rain has stopped and, fingers crossed, the | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
court isn't going to be too slippery to get them back out here. Eight | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
times, the American has played a world number one and hasn't managed | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
to get a victory yet. How much do players in the locker room and in | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
the rest of the tour, how much do they know when a big seed is in | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
trouble? If Novak Djokovic goes out, it's a completely different ball | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
game. Murray is immediately the hot favourite to win. Fedor wrote, in | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
the top half of the draw, he will love that. -- Roger Federer. I was | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
in the main locker room this morning and there is a lots of hanging | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
around and watching what is going on if the Centre Court roof is shut. | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
There is obviously tennis to be watched there. Everyone will be | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
aware of the situation out here. Djokovic was down 2-0, now 2-1. The | :21:17. | :21:25. | |
winner of this match faces the winner of Mahut against Herbert, a | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
wonderful double steam together -- doubles team together. 2-1 up. That | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
would be an attractive match, the winner of this against that. Novak | :21:40. | :21:53. | |
Djokovic, who just doesn't lose sets in the first three rounds of Grand | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
Slams, very flat against Querrey yesterday, but working his way back | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
in. It's the challenge of grass courts. After that little shower on | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
any other surface, you'd be straight back out there. The players wouldn't | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
have a warm up, but on they go. There's probably going to be a bit | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
of moisture on the surface. With the wind in the air, hopefully that will | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
dry out quickly. They can get going again. Boris hasn't gone far. It's | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
quite a long way from Court Number One, isn't it, to head back to | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
Centre Court. Yeah, there's a tunnel that goes underneath, 15, 16. They | :22:36. | :22:45. | |
have got ice bath is down there as well, a new physio room. | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
Improvements being made at the club over time, and the players are | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
always at the forefront. There will be a roof over this number one court | :22:53. | :23:02. | |
for the Championships in 2019. A glass of milk. As he got whiskey in | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
there? It's possible. Yeah. Nobody since Rod Laver in 1969 has | :23:05. | :23:36. | |
won the first three legs of a calendar year grand slam and, of | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
course, Novak Djokovic is the current holder of each of the grand | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
slam championships. It's remarkable, something that Serena Williams has | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
done twice in her career, so it's not unknown. In the men's game, just | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
a fabulous achievement. Of course, in the women's game as well, but a | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
fabulous achievement from Djokovic, who has elevated himself above the | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
others. Rafa Nadal not herewith is bad wrist, such a worry for him and | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
his army of fans. Did you hear anything about that, his wrist? I | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
heard it was in a pretty bad way during the French Open. I think he | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
had an injection in it at some stage and he was told in no uncertain | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
terms that he needed to rest to give it a chance to deal. Fingers crossed | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
he can be back. I think the plan is he can start hitting a couple of | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
weeks after Wimbledon. That was kind of a holding press release. | :24:39. | :24:46. | |
Once again, the players get ready to emerge into the sunlight. Those | :24:47. | :24:58. | |
break points that Novak Djokovic had on the first Querrey say this game | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
might be playing on his mind. It would be nice to come back on a | :25:02. | :25:09. | |
break-up. It would be, and with the players only having been on for just | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
-- off for just over ten minutes, there will not be a warm up. | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
Straight into the match, a tricky scenario to deal with. | :25:19. | :25:30. | |
Nine or ten minutes or so since they left the court. They come back on | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
again. 30 consecutive match wins at one of | :25:34. | :25:49. | |
our four major championships for major Djokovic -- Novak Djokovic. In | :25:50. | :25:57. | |
the media centre earlier on, I saw that, when Rod Laver achieved 31 | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
victories, it was 1970. He lost his record, you are a trivia man... | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
Don't tell me I am actually going to win one of these! Tim Henman doesn't | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
lose many. Who did Rod Laver win against -- lose against end that | :26:16. | :26:23. | |
run? Roger Taylor. I can't believe it! You completely bluffed! It's | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
funny you say that. This is the truth. They've got new posters | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
around the club with the line, pursuit of greatness, and I read | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
about it today, a picture of Roger tailor hitting a backhand volley. | :26:40. | :26:49. | |
A horrible start. Is this part four? Yes. | :26:50. | :29:45. | |
Three straight points for the world number one. Break points again on | :29:46. | :29:51. | |
the American's serve. A fifth break point. The two service | :29:52. | :30:51. | |
games of Sam Querrey this set. APPLAUSE | :30:52. | :31:47. | |
There's just not a percentage shot back, when he is struggling with his | :31:48. | :31:54. | |
foot work and his rhythm, he doesn't want to hit off his shoelaces in the | :31:55. | :32:00. | |
middle of the court. Probably only three out of ten for | :32:01. | :32:13. | |
artistic impression. Went down quite quickly, didn't he? | :32:14. | :32:48. | |
This pressure just has to tell, doesn't it, in the end? This is an | :32:49. | :32:55. | |
important passage of play. Barry got himself into this match after one of | :32:56. | :33:01. | |
the resumption is. Went from 0- five to 3-5 in the first set. That's | :33:02. | :33:06. | |
good, got his engine going today. So much pressure here. | :33:07. | :33:17. | |
another poor backhand volley. It's just sat there, didn't it? He really | :33:18. | :33:30. | |
gave it far too much air, plenty of time for Djokovic to come up there, | :33:31. | :33:34. | |
pick his spot, roll this across the front. | :33:35. | :33:44. | |
On resumption it seems that if Querrey has not dominated the point | :33:45. | :33:51. | |
in the first two thirds strikes, the longer the rally goes, the more | :33:52. | :33:58. | |
Djokovic is taking, and. -- the more Djokovic is taking, | :33:59. | :34:05. | |
Querrey needs to keep that weapon firing. Mr Djokovic is challenging | :34:06. | :34:26. | |
the call. The ball is called in. Looks like it caught the outside | :34:27. | :34:41. | |
edge. Yes. After that many deuces to come through the game and have break | :34:42. | :34:47. | |
points as well. Mapoe a really strong hold, two games in a row. He | :34:48. | :34:52. | |
is resisting Djokovic's best body shots here. Impressive. Querrey | :34:53. | :34:57. | |
certainly hanging in, it's not often in the biggest events you see | :34:58. | :35:01. | |
Djokovic with 11 break points and only taking two of them. So, Sunday | :35:02. | :35:09. | |
play for the first time since 2004 tomorrow. 22,000 tickets for sale | :35:10. | :35:15. | |
today, from five minutes ago. I imagine if it hadn't gone on for so | :35:16. | :35:19. | |
long I would have told you about it beforehand. You have to go on to the | :35:20. | :35:24. | |
Wimbledon website, though online, first-come, first-served basis for | :35:25. | :35:28. | |
those 22,000 tickets. 10,000 unreserved tickets on Centre Court | :35:29. | :35:34. | |
for ?70. 8000 unreserved on number one Court at ?40. 4000 ground passes | :35:35. | :35:43. | |
at ?20. Court 2-19 still in action. A pretty full day on Sunday. | :35:44. | :35:52. | |
But will Novak Djokovic still be in the tournament then? We'll see. 2-1 | :35:53. | :36:07. | |
down. 2-1 games down to the big American. | :36:08. | :36:27. | |
Shouldn't you be on the telephones, manning them or something? | :36:28. | :36:56. | |
That's a very, very peculiar shot, behind the baseline in the middle of | :36:57. | :37:06. | |
a rally. When Djokovic is trading backhand crosscourt you would think | :37:07. | :37:08. | |
he would fancy his chances against most players. | :37:09. | :37:38. | |
That's a little bit fortunate. Not quite sure how this happened. The | :37:39. | :37:50. | |
second time he's just completely bluffed coming in. Older school. | :37:51. | :37:56. | |
Credit where credit's do, Andrew, he took the lob wedge, cut underneath | :37:57. | :38:00. | |
it. It's delicious. This is a bit nervy, isn't it? When | :38:01. | :38:24. | |
it's a bit nervy, the footwork is not as sharp, especially when you | :38:25. | :38:30. | |
are six foot six, and it's probably not your strength in the first | :38:31. | :38:31. | |
place. Another bad mistake, there was the | :38:32. | :38:41. | |
drop shot, there's that. Second serve. It was an effort, | :38:42. | :39:24. | |
second serve, 105 miles an hour, quite quick, after missing the first | :39:25. | :39:32. | |
quite badly. It was brave. A good second serve but Querrey will be | :39:33. | :39:35. | |
mighty disappointed. It was his forehand, plenty of time. In the | :39:36. | :39:42. | |
net. Not sure he's going to get much | :39:43. | :40:28. | |
success with this challenge. In front of our commentary box it | :40:29. | :40:39. | |
looked well wide. Deuce. Mr Djokovic has one challenge remaining. | :40:40. | :40:51. | |
It's a horrible mess, it really is. A catalogue of errors. It's | :40:52. | :40:59. | |
incomprehensible really to anybody including Boris Becker, who has | :41:00. | :41:01. | |
watched Novak Djokovic is He's looking straight up to Boris | :41:02. | :41:27. | |
Becker, Djokovic had a horrible shot there. Overran it, pushed it, said | :41:28. | :41:33. | |
it straight to Querrey, who was probably so surprised. There was the | :41:34. | :41:36. | |
lob. Coaching team and friends of | :41:37. | :42:10. | |
Querrey. Djokovic has done a Houdini in that | :42:11. | :42:30. | |
game. Neither player looking particularly | :42:31. | :42:47. | |
decisive on their serfs. Querrey saving a whole host of break point | :42:48. | :42:50. | |
in his previous service game. Djokovic getting out of trouble | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
there. Somebody needs to take this fourth set by the scruff of the | :42:55. | :42:56. | |
neck. Third straight game. The American's | :42:57. | :45:19. | |
serve. Djokovic widely considered the greatest return of all time has | :45:20. | :45:24. | |
had break points. Surely, one of these is going to go his way. Not | :45:25. | :45:26. | |
this one. Well construct nicely crafted, the | :45:27. | :46:29. | |
backhand down the line. The crowd were saying, it's out, but it caught | :46:30. | :46:36. | |
the line and in it came behind forehand minutes later. Executed | :46:37. | :46:45. | |
nicely. 13 break point in the match, he's only taking two of them. One of | :46:46. | :47:00. | |
the reasons why. Eight aces in the fourth set and 24 in the match. 24 | :47:01. | :47:06. | |
aces past Novak Djokovic. A seriously good number. | :47:07. | :47:15. | |
Well played. Took his time on that forehand. Another big serve gave him | :47:16. | :47:31. | |
the opportunity to pick his spot. Excellent execution. He has come | :47:32. | :47:42. | |
through the fire in this set, Novak going absolutely spare. Boris | :47:43. | :47:50. | |
completely unperturbed, as are the rest of the team. | :47:51. | :47:59. | |
STUDIO: It's all happening on court and one but over on Centre Court | :48:00. | :48:05. | |
Andy Murray has started his challenge against this man, John Tim | :48:06. | :48:14. | |
three macro and Murray is 2-0 up. That's on BBC One. -- this man, John | :48:15. | :48:23. | |
Millman. This is Court 18 where Steve Johnson is now in charge of | :48:24. | :48:28. | |
this third set, a break of serve up and one point to go. Against a | :48:29. | :48:33. | |
former semifinalist here, Grigor Dimitrov, who has dropped 37 in the | :48:34. | :48:39. | |
rankings. That match is on the red button. The match we were watching | :48:40. | :48:46. | |
early on BBC Two Angelique Kerber, the number four seed, won her match | :48:47. | :48:54. | |
7-6, 6-1. The Australian Open champion is through to the fourth | :48:55. | :48:59. | |
round. And one other results to bring you, Alexander Zverev, the | :49:00. | :49:06. | |
very talented teenager, seeded 24, has put out Mikhail Youzhny in five | :49:07. | :49:12. | |
sets. This was held over from yesterday as 2-2. They came out here | :49:13. | :49:19. | |
today and Zverev took it 6-2. There will be a lot more from this young | :49:20. | :49:25. | |
man, Alexander Zverev. Back we go to Court One. | :49:26. | :49:47. | |
COMMENTATOR: Getting a little bit wild, is that nerves? Anxiety. Not | :49:48. | :49:59. | |
quite timing it, not quite getting his feet in the right position, but | :50:00. | :50:02. | |
still trying to unload on the shot. Oh no, that's in, isn't it? It's | :50:03. | :50:31. | |
going to be challenged. Has Djokovic left that one? The ball is called | :50:32. | :50:36. | |
in. Certainly had a play on the ball coming he wasn't beaten for pace. | :50:37. | :50:48. | |
Further evidence of a lack of 100% engagement today, for whatever | :50:49. | :50:48. | |
reason. Very uncharacteristic. Basic stuff | :50:49. | :51:18. | |
for him. Djokovic has had eight break points | :51:19. | :51:37. | |
of his own and failed to capitalise. Now faces two. That's miles away. | :51:38. | :51:59. | |
Anything, anything over the net. To make Djokovic play at this point. | :52:00. | :52:06. | |
Fine margins, isn't it, that second serve from Djokovic just caught the | :52:07. | :52:08. | |
back edge. Living on a knife edge. Djokovic did well to recover from a | :52:09. | :54:13. | |
slip, his right foot gave as he was setting up his pace to hit the | :54:14. | :54:20. | |
forehand. -- setting up his base. Three break point saved. | :54:21. | :54:49. | |
He did so well. To cut that ball. The second one. The first wasn't | :54:50. | :54:55. | |
much good, the second was great. After this little piece of | :54:56. | :55:39. | |
magnificence, there was eruption. Look at this. Whatever's going on in | :55:40. | :55:45. | |
the fair came out right there. -- what ever's coming on in there. | :55:46. | :55:52. | |
Quite a fearsome sight, isn't it? Like Vesuvius on a calm summer | :55:53. | :55:55. | |
afternoon. You want to see positive self talk, | :55:56. | :56:28. | |
that's just about the epitome of it, he realises this is a tough fight. | :56:29. | :56:35. | |
Not in harmony at all, body and mind. And an opponent playing well | :56:36. | :56:39. | |
at times. You sometimes sends whether those | :56:40. | :56:59. | |
reactions have been more with Querrey, the underdog. Always | :57:00. | :57:00. | |
craving that affection, Djokovic. 129 again, this is good stuff. | :57:01. | :58:33. | |
Really, fine match playing, Querrey. Certainly doesn't normally take 45 | :58:34. | :58:35. | |
minutes to complete seven games. Third time he has been aced on the | :58:36. | :59:20. | |
deuce court. In this game. Fourth time in this game. Wow, 28 | :59:21. | :00:29. | |
aces now. 71 in the tournament. He went 12-10 in the fifth in his first | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
match with Rosol. Great hold. Really top-class serving. He once | :00:32. | :00:53. | |
hit ten aces in a row against James Blake. Tells you everything you need | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
to know about the American number four. Just got Isner, Jack Sock and | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
Steve Johnson is playing so well now as well. Credit to him, he hasn't | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
crumbled. Seven games in 46 minutes on a grass court is slightly rare. | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
Are they slightly overdoing it with umbrellas, the ball boys? Trying to | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
make a point that the sun is shining, giving the players a bit of | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
shade? I should think the players are quite happy to sit in the sun. | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
Sunday play for the first time since 2004. I am not sure whether there | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
are any tickets left. I am sure it was very busy, and I hope you have | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
been successful. We will be here tomorrow. | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
It's a captivating match, this third round winner. -- this third round. | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
The winner is to play Mahut, I believe. He was 2-1 and a break-up. | :02:03. | :04:33. | |
Novak Djokovic has not lost on anything other than a clay court | :04:34. | :04:43. | |
this year. Murray beat him in Italy, Vesely beat him in Monte Carlo. The | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
other match that he lost was a retirement in Dubai right after the | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
Australian Open. So it would be a major surprise if this man were to | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
go out at the very top of the draw. Fancy getting to Wimbledon and only | :05:02. | :05:21. | |
having lost two completed matches, both on clay. | :05:22. | :05:33. | |
Chances now for Djokovic to break through, deep in this fourth set. | :05:34. | :05:48. | |
UMPIRE: Mr Querrey is challenging the call on the service line. The | :05:49. | :06:02. | |
ball was called out. If it was long, it didn't miss by much. | :06:03. | :06:23. | |
UMPIRE: Mr Querrey has two challenges remaining. | :06:24. | :06:37. | |
That was the 30th case of the match Querrey. -- ace. | :06:38. | :07:03. | |
It's quite hard to be philosophical when those things go past all the | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
time. Querrey really has to dominate with | :07:08. | :08:06. | |
his first couple of strikes in the rally. If it goes more than five | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
shots, Djokovic starting to exploit the movement. | :08:12. | :08:54. | |
That is it! The breakthrough which may mean 2-2. Djokovic still to | :08:55. | :09:03. | |
serve for it, but finally a break of serve. Sam couldn't serve his way | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
out of that one. STUDIO: He may not be looking | :09:07. | :09:19. | |
himself, but somehow he is finding a way to get himself back in the | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
match. So Djokovic will be serving for the fourth set in a moment. | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
That's how you finish it off, but lets take you over to Centre Court, | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
because Andy Murray is over there, 5-2 up with a break of serve. There | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
have been three in this match so far. That match is live on BBC One. | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
We will be keeping an eye on that, keep you updated. Now lets head back | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
to Djokovic, serving for the fourth. COMMENTATOR: Impossible to ignore | :09:50. | :10:02. | |
the scoreline so far. As Djokovic steels himself to serve to make it | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
two sets all. Sunshine on Court Number One. | :10:11. | :10:24. | |
Certainly a sunnier disposition for Djokovic at the moment. | :10:25. | :10:42. | |
He certainly should have challenged it because, in our commentary box, | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
we could see it was on the outside edge of the line. | :10:49. | :11:34. | |
You know what, he hasn't challenged. Twice in a row, and Tim has given | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
our secret away. We know that that ball was in. Two in a row, serving | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
for the set! Not sharp. Certainly, at this stage of the | :11:46. | :12:06. | |
match, if there was even the slightest element of doubt, you | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
would ask the question. If he had any challenges left... | :12:12. | :12:22. | |
O'Connor he found it! -- oh, he found it! Of course, he didn't have | :12:23. | :12:37. | |
any challenges left. It is we who are not sharp. Sam Querrey, backhand | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
down the line. Amazing! It's not as if Querrey has been | :12:40. | :13:09. | |
brilliant on the break points either. Three of 14 in the match. | :13:10. | :13:25. | |
Oh, he missed it. Can you believe that! Challenges unavailable. It | :13:26. | :13:43. | |
would have helped. Is that volley goes pretty much anywhere over the | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
net, it's going to be a winner. Querrey was so far over the | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
baseline, it's nearly landed on his foot. | :13:53. | :14:30. | |
Djokovic not the only one who needs volley in practice. | :14:31. | :17:32. | |
It's interesting, isn't it, Hal, if you are the man at the top of the | :17:33. | :17:55. | |
game, if you have done all of this winning, you are the centre of | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
attention all the time and you have to see off people like Sam Querrey, | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
day in, day out, not every day is perfection. Sam Querrey, those first | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
two sets, superb. This is a brilliant effort from him. A player | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
who was top 50 as a teenager, top 25 in the world in both singles and | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
doubles in 2010. For me, one of the most amazing aspects of Djokovic's | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
run is how consistently well he's been able to perform. He is always | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
on a scale of one to ten. He is continually producing eight, a | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
Kandahar. Today, it's been so much more variable, a bit like the | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
weather. -- eight, eight and a half. Umbrellas going up, once again, | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
everybody reaching for the coats. The players are going to stay there, | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
under instruction from the referee. I suspect we will just have a quick | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
delay here, hopefully. Here come the court covers once again. | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
UMPIRE: Ladies and gentlemen, clay is suspended. -- play is suspended. | :19:12. | :19:22. | |
Djokovic trooping off, having served. He wants Boris Becker to | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
come with him, I think. Boris get up out of his chair. He'll have to walk | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
around the court and go and see his man. It's interesting, it isn't | :19:35. | :19:45. | |
concentration. I have to say, I hadn't noticed that those challenges | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
were gone. The first two points, ironically, where he could have | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
challenged, and he couldn't, because the challenges were out. So | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
important, that technology. OK, that's it for the moment here on | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
Court Number One. Hopefully back in a moment. 6-5, Querrey. So close to | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
a famous victory. STUDIO: What a time to stop! When | :20:11. | :20:19. | |
Djokovic comes out, he will be serving to stay in the match. | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
Looking around Wimbledon, it looks like it is only going to be a short | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
shower, so hopefully we will have some play for you very soon. While | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
we await players out on Court Number One, we are going to take you to a | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
match over on court 18, featuring Steve Johnson of the United States. | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
He won the Nottingham tournament, a couple of rounds at Queen's. He is | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
up against former semifinalist Grigor Dimitrov, who has slipped to | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
a world ranking of 37. Johnson is serving at 3-0 in the third set. | :20:54. | :21:09. | |
That's the problem. Stop, start, stop, start. It doesn't matter how | :21:10. | :21:19. | |
old you are, 25, 26, you still have to crank it up each time, and it's | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
not easy. A look from Dimmick trough that we | :21:22. | :22:47. | |
didn't see after he came out after the last rain delay, and he knows he | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
needs to get a quick break. How fortunate was it for Steve Johnson | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
to get that second break before the rain came down! A chance to get one | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
of them back here. Just like when he returned this morning and he had the | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
5-4 lead, no first serves, Steve, and a poor game. It's hard. You get | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
the motor revved up and you have to take the time off and you have the | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
momentum. Within moments, the momentum is shot, it's gone. He is | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
still a break-up, but it won't be like that right now for Steve | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
Johnson. First game, just like it was at the start of this third set, | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
when they came back from a rain delay, we've had a break of serve, | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
as we have in three of the first four games of this set. | :23:40. | :23:50. | |
Wasn't that in identical game... Absolutely identical. When we | :23:51. | :23:59. | |
started play this morning, with Johnson serving for it at 5-4. | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
Dimitrov held serve at 5-3, correct? Johnson lost serve again. Amazingly, | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
those are the only two times in the match when Johnson has lost serve. | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
Each time we've resumed. When he's had the lead. Correct. That's why I | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
said it. That's why, when you talked about | :24:28. | :24:50. | |
momentum, who does it favour, there is no momentum once you leave the | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
court this many times. You have to generate it. | :24:56. | :25:17. | |
No. Ball against sailing off the backhand side. The difficulty as | :25:18. | :25:30. | |
well for players is not knowing how long the break is going to be and | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
what to do during the time off court. | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
It's a carbon copy of the first set. Johnson led 4-3, coming back from | :25:40. | :26:11. | |
last night. He was able to hold. Dimitrov held and then Johnson got | :26:12. | :26:19. | |
broken at love. Rebound is beautifully to win the second set. | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
Really took it up nicely in that tie-break. But ill afford to go down | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
two sets to love, the way that Dimitrov has been playing now. | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
Johnson had a two break advantage. It's been turned into one. | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
Multipurpose umbrellas here. It keeps you drive when it rains, it | :26:41. | :26:49. | |
keeps you cool when it's sunny. Pretty calm, not too much breeze. | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
Interestingly, when Johnson got his second break, just before the rain | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
delay, it was very breezy. It's calm now. Seven eighths of the match, | :26:59. | :27:06. | |
which began last night just before 7:30pm. -- seventh ace. | :27:07. | :28:04. | |
The other thing about momentum, some players can get back into a groove | :28:05. | :28:10. | |
pretty quickly. Others it takes a bit longer. Correct. That's the | :28:11. | :28:17. | |
difference between being a slow starter and somebody who just get | :28:18. | :28:20. | |
out there and is revved up right away. | :28:21. | :28:30. | |
In the case of Steve Johnson, when he came back this morning, he was a | :28:31. | :28:48. | |
slow starter but, when they had the other rain delay, that came after | :28:49. | :28:53. | |
the second set, he picked it up, he learned. He realised that he needed | :28:54. | :28:57. | |
to come out faster. Johnson still has the break. One | :28:58. | :29:20. | |
break to the good. When that ball is coming off his racket, you feel the | :29:21. | :29:27. | |
pace, if you are Dimitrov, and Dimitrov has been a bit late on some | :29:28. | :29:31. | |
of these shots, particularly now he is trailing. Timing all wrong on | :29:32. | :29:39. | |
that last shot. He must hold here, the Bulgarian. | :29:40. | :30:01. | |
Just thinking, if you are Richard Gasquet, who is meant to be third of | :30:02. | :30:06. | |
this court today, after the Williams sisters play doubles, are you | :30:07. | :30:09. | |
playing on this court tonight? He got lucky, Steve Johnson. Good | :30:10. | :30:25. | |
guess from Dimitrov. It just wasn't able to answer the volley. A lot of | :30:26. | :30:30. | |
it is contingent on how long this match takes, because I think the | :30:31. | :30:32. | |
Williams sisters match may move quickly. They may even move it to | :30:33. | :30:35. | |
another court. Great feel. We think we have light | :30:36. | :30:56. | |
until 9pm, 9:30pm, not the case when you have these overcast conditions. | :30:57. | :31:08. | |
Correct, 9:30pm it's daylight if there are clear skies. The other | :31:09. | :31:10. | |
thing we have after Jack Sock and Milos Raonic, third match from | :31:11. | :31:12. | |
Centre Court, the opportunity to move matches indoors. Remember, | :31:13. | :31:20. | |
there is play tomorrow, for only the fourth time in Wimbledon history. | :31:21. | :31:21. | |
And you're worth it. Good volley. A wonderfully played. | :31:22. | :31:40. | |
Kept moving towards the net. Something everyone at home can | :31:41. | :31:44. | |
learn. When you decide you're going to come forward, you must continue | :31:45. | :31:48. | |
to move forward, even if the ball's floating. Good point, court | :31:49. | :31:52. | |
coverage, a lot of these spectators also keen tennis players themselves, | :31:53. | :31:56. | |
trying some of that on the courts tomorrow. | :31:57. | :32:02. | |
Steve Johnson is just dying to get another break. Felt that ball. | :32:03. | :32:23. | |
Barely missed it. Sounded like Damian Steiner said 30-40. We know | :32:24. | :32:29. | |
differently, we know it's 40-30. I may have heard wrong. Brunger! That | :32:30. | :32:38. | |
centreline was very lucky just then. He's agile, though, got to be. -- | :32:39. | :32:42. | |
boom! Sam Querrey has a break point | :32:43. | :32:55. | |
against Djokovic. Fourth set. Oh yeah, he knew the minute he hit | :32:56. | :33:35. | |
that, there came an extra yelp and a great opportunity now for Steve | :33:36. | :33:38. | |
Johnson. Which is a virtual set point. Dimitrov better be careful. | :33:39. | :33:43. | |
The Johnson forehand is connecting now. Again, it's about the quality | :33:44. | :33:48. | |
of the Dimitrov serve. There is the break, he's up a double | :33:49. | :34:04. | |
break in this third set, very much advantage Steve Johnson. | :34:05. | :34:46. | |
Focus, focus, focus, 5-2 up. Stops and starts. That was a nice view | :34:47. | :34:56. | |
from up above of Centre Court with the roof closed. You can just see to | :34:57. | :35:02. | |
the left-hand side the side of number one Court, the broadcast | :35:03. | :35:07. | |
Centre. And those on the roof, where we do our stand-ups from the end of | :35:08. | :35:10. | |
play, from Great Britain, Australia, they are all in there. As well as | :35:11. | :35:17. | |
the studios below and the offices to the right-hand side. No, where | :35:18. | :35:25. | |
coaches and teams for each player is it, up above, hanging over, looking | :35:26. | :35:32. | |
down. Steve Johnson serving for a 2-1 set lead. | :35:33. | :35:48. | |
I want to go back to something you said earlier about Grigor Dimitrov | :35:49. | :35:54. | |
being a very different player when he's behind and trying to attack. | :35:55. | :35:58. | |
He's more attack minded, more adventurous when behind, but a | :35:59. | :36:02. | |
different player when ahead. It is true of a lot of players. | :36:03. | :36:09. | |
It's all based on expectation. When you're close in the set, | :36:10. | :36:18. | |
side-by-side, you look at the score, you may play the points differently. | :36:19. | :36:22. | |
When you are down by a double break against somebody as good a Steve | :36:23. | :36:25. | |
Johnson you will probably throw your hands up and say, I'll probably lose | :36:26. | :36:29. | |
the set anyway. There is no expectation, it goes by the wind, | :36:30. | :36:33. | |
therefore you are able to open up your shoulders and swing freely. | :36:34. | :36:38. | |
Even you could do that, Mark. No. Yeah. So you've got one guy swinging | :36:39. | :36:45. | |
freely, right? Who's basically said whatever. Who is behind. The guy | :36:46. | :36:51. | |
trying to close it out becomes a little more cautious. Tight. You | :36:52. | :37:01. | |
said it. Cat and mouse. That one was not coming back. | :37:02. | :37:06. | |
When you're playing out there and you're Steve Johnson from you have | :37:07. | :37:12. | |
this kind of lead, you have to say to yourself, I have to keep my level | :37:13. | :37:17. | |
up, if not, take it up a notch, because my opponent is going to play | :37:18. | :37:21. | |
better, because he's going to be free and easy. It may not happen but | :37:22. | :37:25. | |
it's a good way to think, to keep yourself in the match and motivated. | :37:26. | :37:35. | |
Look at that. I mean, boom. Steve Johnson saying, too good. Dimitrov | :37:36. | :37:39. | |
with an opportunity to get one of the breaks back. Here's another | :37:40. | :37:45. | |
break point. Johnson under pressure. Under the cosh. Stevie, third double | :37:46. | :38:00. | |
fault of the match. You said that before also. Five having three in | :38:01. | :38:04. | |
the first set to Johnson and he was broken. A lot of similarities | :38:05. | :38:09. | |
between this set and the first. The second set we had one break point in | :38:10. | :38:14. | |
the whole set before Johnson took it on a tie-break. He earned it, played | :38:15. | :38:22. | |
really all out. Five breaks of serve. We're now at 3-5. Another lax | :38:23. | :38:27. | |
game, though. From the American. Well, he's going to have a chance to | :38:28. | :39:00. | |
serve for it one more time. Better not lose the serve again. 125 mph, | :39:01. | :39:08. | |
fastest of the tournament so far. Including John Isner on this court | :39:09. | :39:13. | |
yesterday. OK, it's going to be like that, is it? 126? 148 is the fastest | :39:14. | :39:19. | |
ever Wimbledon serve, in 2010. Nice easy hold. First time he's done | :39:20. | :39:37. | |
that since the second game of the second set. Johnson will serve when | :39:38. | :39:39. | |
they resume for the third set. That's the fastest serves in | :39:40. | :40:00. | |
Wimbledon history. Fastest ever serve was in South Korea. | :40:01. | :40:07. | |
Sam Graf, 163.5 mph. That health and safety territory. There were | :40:08. | :40:16. | |
torrential winds that day. Torrential women's! I've never heard | :40:17. | :40:20. | |
the word torrential preceding the word wind. Coming from behind him, | :40:21. | :40:26. | |
almost like a tornado. Like a wind assisted 100 metres. It's before | :40:27. | :40:33. | |
3:30pm on a Saturday afternoon. Reticent to say a sunny afternoon | :40:34. | :40:36. | |
because I don't want to tempt fate, given the fact these two has been on | :40:37. | :40:45. | |
and off so often. Steve Johnson has had a double break on two different | :40:46. | :40:50. | |
occasions in this set. And has both times surrendered one of them back. | :40:51. | :40:54. | |
He cannot make any of those errors in this game. Crucial. 5-4, serving | :40:55. | :41:04. | |
for a 2-1 lead. Just like you was in the ninth game of the third set. He | :41:05. | :41:12. | |
went 0-40 down. Different story this time, winning the first point. | :41:13. | :41:29. | |
He read the short folly, got there in plenty of time, he needed to rip | :41:30. | :41:37. | |
at the ground stroke. He gets here and instead of really hitting the | :41:38. | :41:41. | |
ball which he could have done, tries to lob over a big athletic man on a | :41:42. | :41:44. | |
grass court. Just doesn't happen. Impressive service game from Steve | :41:45. | :41:59. | |
Johnson. Yanked it, he pulled away from it | :42:00. | :42:21. | |
way too quickly, rushed it. Got to keep his nerve. He's got to stick | :42:22. | :42:25. | |
with the plan. Nothing out of the ordinary here. | :42:26. | :42:35. | |
Just like that, Steve Johnson, one or two issues but get it done and | :42:36. | :42:39. | |
leads to- one. OK, Doug Adler, set summary from the | :42:40. | :43:01. | |
third set. What impresses you and what needs to be better? I think the | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
difference in that set was the quality of the Steve Johnson serve. | :43:06. | :43:10. | |
You can see when he got it in how successful he was. Really taking | :43:11. | :43:16. | |
advantage of Dimitrov missing so many first serves. A problem for | :43:17. | :43:21. | |
Dimitrov really in that set is he just got behind, couldn't put in a | :43:22. | :43:24. | |
first serve Cincom he was always training, not a good place to be. | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
Especially against a guy gripping forehands. Dimitrov needs to make a | :43:29. | :43:43. | |
few adjustments, as typically what you want to do when you've lost a | :43:44. | :43:50. | |
few sects. How impressed are you... We know about beforehand, what about | :43:51. | :43:53. | |
the serve, what do you like about the serve and what do you think he | :43:54. | :43:58. | |
can improve on? I like the serve a lot and he mixes it up beautifully, | :43:59. | :44:02. | |
he can throw in the heater, fastball, he can throw in of pace | :44:03. | :44:07. | |
stuff, placement, precision, angle, he can do everything with the serve. | :44:08. | :44:11. | |
Second service very good as well, heavy, from a serving standpoint he | :44:12. | :44:14. | |
has the better serve between the two. One thing Steve Johnson has to | :44:15. | :44:23. | |
be aware of, is when he's hitting the slice backhand, he's got to cut | :44:24. | :44:28. | |
it. If he floated, Dimitrov is going to step around and rip forehands. | :44:29. | :44:35. | |
Day six at Wimbledon. Image of serving, trailing 2-1. -- Dimitrov | :44:36. | :44:42. | |
serving. The last set he lost the serve three times, it's not going to | :44:43. | :44:44. | |
get the job done in this set. He's just beating Dimitrov with pace | :44:45. | :44:56. | |
with the forehand, you feel the weight of that shot. Dimitrov at | :44:57. | :45:03. | |
times has absorbed it very well in the match but at other times not | :45:04. | :45:06. | |
able to really get ahead of the ball. | :45:07. | :45:19. | |
Not quite the Dimitrov that reach the semifinals here two years ago, | :45:20. | :45:25. | |
eating Andy Murray in the semifinals before eventually losing in four | :45:26. | :45:36. | |
sets to Novak Djokovic. What are the main differences in his game, why | :45:37. | :45:39. | |
has he fallen from number eight to number 37 in the world? It's between | :45:40. | :45:44. | |
the years, really, he's certainly got the same skill, he moves as | :45:45. | :45:51. | |
well, but a lot of those matches, close matches, it's winning the big | :45:52. | :45:54. | |
points, he's not winning those points. He's certainly not as | :45:55. | :46:02. | |
confident, look at that backhand he just missed. When he reached the | :46:03. | :46:08. | |
semi he wasn't missing that shot. He was making shots like this in that | :46:09. | :46:12. | |
quarterfinal against Murray. The fear factor is gone, players aren't | :46:13. | :46:16. | |
that threatened by him any more. A lot of times matches are even won | :46:17. | :46:22. | |
before you hit the court because guys are scared of you. Two break | :46:23. | :46:29. | |
points and a second serve, Johnson is in a good place right now. I | :46:30. | :46:38. | |
don't think there's been any time throughout this match, even when | :46:39. | :46:43. | |
Steve Johnson lost the first set, never felt he was playing against | :46:44. | :46:48. | |
someone he was outclassed by. Johnson hasn't done much wrong, he | :46:49. | :46:58. | |
was unlucky to lose that first set. Tough second serve, down 2-1. Break | :46:59. | :47:11. | |
point. He missed it badly. Wild from Dimitrov, who seems out of sorts | :47:12. | :47:16. | |
right now. Not only a setup, a break down at the beginning of the set. | :47:17. | :47:28. | |
Well, Johnson just keeping the ball in the court and letting Dimitrov | :47:29. | :47:35. | |
self implode. No way a semi finalist -- former semifinalist should miss | :47:36. | :47:39. | |
that shot. But the pressure. You've got ten seconds to get inside | :47:40. | :47:45. | |
Dimitrov's head, tell him something, what's he got to do? He's in a bit | :47:46. | :47:50. | |
of a hole here. First thing calmed down, second thing stay in the | :47:51. | :47:54. | |
moment, what has happened to this point means nothing. That's less | :47:55. | :47:55. | |
than ten seconds. On the other side of the net for | :47:56. | :48:18. | |
Steve Johnson it's more of the same, he's played well. Don't let down, | :48:19. | :48:22. | |
keep your foot on the accelerator, go for the jugular, put this guy | :48:23. | :48:28. | |
away. There's no doubt in the mind of Dimitrov, use that to your | :48:29. | :48:32. | |
advantage if you're Steve Johnson. No way he's going to make that shot, | :48:33. | :48:56. | |
that's a whole band a prayer. Johnson sees him going for that | :48:57. | :49:00. | |
swing and says beautiful, keep doing it. He played last year here and | :49:01. | :49:05. | |
Dimitrov won in three straight sets. Already Steve Johnson is in a far | :49:06. | :49:14. | |
better place. Also played in Washington last year, Johnson got | :49:15. | :49:18. | |
the victory in three sets. On the hard courts. Little glimmer of hope | :49:19. | :49:37. | |
here for Grigor Dimitrov. Two hours and 32 minutes of playing time, but | :49:38. | :49:41. | |
it's been a lot longer since these two stepped on court last night. | :49:42. | :50:00. | |
Look how Johnson is moving now that he has got the lead, is feeling | :50:01. | :50:06. | |
really good about himself and everything is coming a lot easier. | :50:07. | :50:11. | |
It's a struggle for Dimitrov, but not for Johnson. The evolution of | :50:12. | :50:15. | |
Johnson's game over the last two or three years, it really has been on a | :50:16. | :50:24. | |
steep upward curve. I'm quite good friends with Steve's coach from USC, | :50:25. | :50:32. | |
Peter Smith. Peter always felt Stevie was a great competitor and | :50:33. | :50:36. | |
really didn't understand why Stevie was even losing matches. Two good | :50:37. | :50:46. | |
serves, Steve Johnson. Bangor you will lose matches when guys hit | :50:47. | :50:50. | |
shots like that, for sure. Steve Johnson consistently, day in, day | :50:51. | :50:54. | |
out, should be at this kind of level. By winning the Nottingham | :50:55. | :51:01. | |
events... His first ever to win. It's done him the power of good. The | :51:02. | :51:06. | |
other thing is as well, when you are ranked 18, 19 in the world, your | :51:07. | :51:16. | |
drawers are much harder. Great volley, got down and dug it out of | :51:17. | :51:21. | |
the grass. The other thing, you are right about the drawers, but every | :51:22. | :51:27. | |
little difference between being 70, 80, 19 the world, maybe even 30. -- | :51:28. | :51:34. | |
you are right about the draws. It windows big matches, getting those | :51:35. | :51:36. | |
big points, believing you're going to get them. Gets you into better | :51:37. | :51:46. | |
tournaments. In a macro Steve's playing at a whole different level | :51:47. | :51:51. | |
now than he did two years ago. So is Dimitrov, that's the problem. | :51:52. | :52:01. | |
Opposite directions. I think... In the grand scheme of things, second | :52:02. | :52:04. | |
game of the fourth set, especially with Johnson just having broken, if | :52:05. | :52:08. | |
he can consolidate the break, this could be huge. For the 26-year-old | :52:09. | :52:13. | |
from Southern California. See, that is a shot there is no way | :52:14. | :52:30. | |
Dimitrov can missed that ball. I thought his footwork there as he | :52:31. | :52:33. | |
went to hit it looked a little bit off, as if he wasn't set properly | :52:34. | :52:38. | |
for that kind of shot. It's a backhand, floating in the middle of | :52:39. | :52:39. | |
the court with no pace on it. Johnson gave him an opportunity and | :52:40. | :53:00. | |
Dimitrov didn't take it. 2-0 lead. The American, right now, is the warm | :53:01. | :53:07. | |
favourite against the former world number eight. Here we go, the | :53:08. | :53:12. | |
camping convention get the jackets on. Not because there is rain... | :53:13. | :53:17. | |
Just getting cool. There are one or two spots arriving. To be honest, | :53:18. | :53:23. | |
right now, Dimitrov would probably take a rain break. He'd love to | :53:24. | :53:33. | |
stop, things are not going his way. He's been pretty much shattered | :53:34. | :53:35. | |
mentally as this match has gone on. When he missed that ball in the | :53:36. | :53:51. | |
middle of the court the last game, as we see the ball come-down, quite | :53:52. | :53:56. | |
a cat by the lines person. Quite a catch, tell you what, that's a | :53:57. | :54:05. | |
phenomenal catch. A catch at slip. They're all at it now. The umpires | :54:06. | :54:10. | |
court that straightaway. Goodness me. Budding cricketers and baseball | :54:11. | :54:15. | |
players here. Anyway back to the tennis. Enough of the nonsense. If | :54:16. | :54:23. | |
you are saying it, Mark, it's not nonsense. | :54:24. | :54:39. | |
That a guy who's got nothing to lose. This is when he becomes more | :54:40. | :54:46. | |
dangerous than he's been so far. You saw what happened to him last game, | :54:47. | :54:50. | |
chance to go up break point to get back into the set. He has a ball in | :54:51. | :54:54. | |
the middle of the court and snatches it into the bottom of the net. Looks | :54:55. | :54:56. | |
like he had a bad bounce. Two up. I say it looks like he had a bad | :54:57. | :55:20. | |
bounce because if it looks as though he's moving his feet properly and | :55:21. | :55:24. | |
he's focused, whether the ball bounces funny or not it's not going | :55:25. | :55:28. | |
to affect, but things are not going his way. How has he responded? Not | :55:29. | :55:37. | |
particularly well. I love that the whole mental comparisons between | :55:38. | :55:39. | |
different sports... At the top level in golf there is very little after | :55:40. | :55:45. | |
you get past Jason Day and Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth. It's just | :55:46. | :55:52. | |
strong willed. In tennis as well you've got the upper echelons, | :55:53. | :55:56. | |
Djokovic and Murray and Federer and Nadal, Wawrinka, whoever. If you are | :55:57. | :56:02. | |
going from world ranked number ten down the way to world ranked 50, a | :56:03. | :56:09. | |
lot of it is between the years. 90% of this game at this level you can | :56:10. | :56:14. | |
ask anybody, it's not about hitting forehands or backhands, between the | :56:15. | :56:21. | |
years. A rather limp waving of a Bulgarian flag. Sort of a weak | :56:22. | :56:30. | |
fourth set. They need more from him. Steve Johnson's in control. When you | :56:31. | :56:37. | |
serve like that... I think there might be a B or a wasp. We've | :56:38. | :56:42. | |
already had birds. The ornithology part of this lesson has been taken | :56:43. | :56:50. | |
care of. Is there an aviary for the bees? This is where my school | :56:51. | :56:56. | |
education will be coming in handy. -- varies a bee or wasp. | :56:57. | :57:05. | |
That is the same shot Dimitrov had in the previous service game on | :57:06. | :57:13. | |
30-30. You see Johnson is patient, gets his feet in position, doesn't | :57:14. | :57:15. | |
rush, gets the job done. After watching that point I wonder | :57:16. | :57:47. | |
if Dimitrov really has a game plan right now, I don't think he really | :57:48. | :57:52. | |
has one, I think he feels if he keeps hitting he'll hit someone is, | :57:53. | :57:58. | |
but that's the wrong shot, got him totally out of position. Lob volley | :57:59. | :58:04. | |
over his head. Low percentage play. I don't think he really knows what | :58:05. | :58:08. | |
to do to get back into this match, Dimitrov. A 3-1 lead. Three games | :58:09. | :58:21. | |
away from a place in the next round for Steve Johnson. I think Johnson | :58:22. | :58:30. | |
knows exactly what he wants to do and I don't think Dimitrov has a | :58:31. | :58:37. | |
clue. As got to be careful, my nieces are watching and I said an | :58:38. | :58:42. | |
aviary was for bees. Avery is for birds as well. You could say | :58:43. | :58:55. | |
anything and I would agree. Holes! Holes! Right in the face. -- -- | :58:56. | :59:10. | |
Whoa! Immediately apologises. Sheik of the hand. There you go. You are | :59:11. | :59:15. | |
forgiven, just don't do it again. That's cool to be able to interact | :59:16. | :59:19. | |
with the crowd like that. Golfers do it if they hit someone with the golf | :59:20. | :59:22. | |
ball, they give them a signed glove. Maybe if Stevie wins he can give a | :59:23. | :59:36. | |
tower or racket that gentleman. I think that's going a little bit far. | :59:37. | :59:43. | |
Come on now. It's a little bit extreme, he already gave the guy | :59:44. | :59:52. | |
some skin, that's enough. Scrooge. I mean, look at that swinging... To | :59:53. | :59:56. | |
me, Dimitrov was just out there flailing away. By the way behind | :59:57. | :00:01. | |
Dimitrov a couple of umbrellas, the rain is coming back. Guess what... | :00:02. | :00:09. | |
Here we go again, play is suspended. 3.49 in the afternoon. This is very | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
good for Dimitrov, because he was falling away quickly, bad for Steve | :00:15. | :00:15. | |
Johnson. STUDIO: That is when the rain has | :00:16. | :00:28. | |
come down. This is the scene at the moment, the sun is shining, but they | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
still are not uncovering the courts. There may be a threat of rain still | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
to come here at Wimbledon. We will keep you up-to-date. We are hoping | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
we will get clay. On Centre Court, there is clay, and that is live on | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
BBC One, Andy Murray and John Millman. Plenty of sporting | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
superstars in the royal box, enjoying the tennis, and we are | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
going to hear from a few of them. We are going to start with Geoff Hurst, | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
one of the 66 heroes. He has been talking to Gary about being at | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
Wimbledon and the England football team. What do you love about | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
Wimbledon? It is one of the greatest events in the world. It is a sport I | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
watch only second to football, and I really enjoy the sport. To come here | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
to Wimbledon and do it at the top end is rather nice. Did you play? | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
No, mainly cricket and football. I was talking to Gordon Banks, who is | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
gay, and he played quite a bit of tennis in the summer. He is a fan. | :01:36. | :01:46. | |
-- Gordon Banks, who is here. It is really different being here. It's | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
completely different to on the TV. You really get a sense of the | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
performance of the tennis players, their athleticism. It's a great | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
sport. This month is the anniversary, 50 years ago. 66. Do | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
you think about it every day? You think about it a lot, because people | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
tend to... It is quite fresh, because people tell you their | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
memories. You still bump into people who were at the game or tell you | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
fantastic stories of where they were on the day, so it brings it home to | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
you. Especially the goal will stop there were three of them! Some would | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
say two, but we won't get into that. Have you got Scottish parents? Yes. | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
I find it quite strange that you are actually down there being part of | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
that fantastic day the stuff I have to pinch myself. It is talked about | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
regularly, particularly this year. Over the years, people's memories | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
have been one of the most enjoyable parts of winning. This year, it was | :02:56. | :03:06. | |
a much different story at the Euros. It was very poor. Do you feel sad? I | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
felt a bit sad for Roy in the press conference. I must admit. There is | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
really nothing more to say and has been said in the last week by many | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
pundits. One of the most disappointing days we've had a | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
passport for a long time. You were on a hiding to nothing as a manager, | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
won't you? Iron it is a difficult profession, but we know how | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
difficult has been for many years. I don't envy the position. I got the | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
sack from Chelsea in 1981, April the 23rd, 12 o'clock, and those days | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
have changed, because you could earn as much money from a living point of | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
view outside the game is in it, and that has changed dramatically. What | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
did Sir Alf Ramsey have as a manager that subsequent ones haven't had? | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
It's difficult to sum up. He had a system of play, which even at | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
Ipswich. He kept that for the national play, -- team, twin | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
strikers, the discipline was as strong and severe as I've ever | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
experienced, and you'd look at that today and perhaps you'd argue it | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
isn't as strong as it used to be. The other thing I'd definitely say, | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
as a backbone of the team, you look at Banks, wasp, Jimmy Greaves, who | :04:39. | :04:49. | |
would definitely have played if he hadn't been injured, and I think we | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
definitely haven't had that sort of back pain. When you were playing, | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
there were not so many foreign players, so so many youngsters don't | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
get a chance now. You look at West Ham, and so many English people in | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
it. That has changed dramatically. You wonder whether that have an | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
impact on the national team, picking from a smaller base of players. It | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
is sometimes, you try to analyse what has happened recently, and, | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
although I have made comparisons, I think it's very difficult to put | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
your finger on why, on that day, we were absolutely as poor as we were. | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
We talk about a backbone, but you look at the players you have in | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
midfield. You look at somebody like Alan Moore, he was only very young, | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
but as a leader he was tenacious, nobby Stiles... Nobby was only 24. | :05:47. | :05:59. | |
Alan Moore was only 21. He had a passion for playing for his country, | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
the like of which I haven't experienced since then. It was a | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
wonderful combination of experience, world-class players and some very | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
tenacious and hard-working players. You could perhaps argue that we | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
haven't seen that since. Looking at the results, why that hasn't | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
happened. But it is sad and disappointing. Passion is an | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
interesting word to use, relating to 66 and people and fans will often | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
say, it's very different, and are the fans -- players hungry enough? | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
People say very glibly that the passion isn't there and they don't | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
enjoy playing for England as much as their clubs, but there are some | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
fantastic players for our country over the years who have been | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
passionate about playing for our country, so I am not sure that you | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
can necessarily level that accusation. But it is very | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
difficult, from that performance, to assess and analyse on that day just | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
what's gone wrong with a group of players. It's quite astonishing. | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
Does the next manager have to be British or English, Jeff? The top | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
man in the world, foreign or otherwise, would be OK, I used to | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
think. More recently, I am thinking towards having an English person in | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
charge. I've changed my view on that, and that is my view today. I | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
think it should be an integer manager. -- English manager. Really, | :07:30. | :07:40. | |
you are limited to Allardyce, Alan Pardew, not the young guys. That is | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
my view, I think we should get the best person available with the | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
experience to do that. I wish you well in the 50 years celebrations. | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Men's and women's champions in Wimbledon, who are you thinking? Is | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
it 18 seeds have already? I'm not sure. It would be great to see a | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
Murray- Djokovic final. He is struggling at the moment. It would | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
be great to see. Murray, is previous game, I thought he was fantastic, | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
the most positive performance I've seen from him, really fantastic. If | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
he carries that form, which he is showing throughout the tournament, | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
it looks to me, unless there is a real upset, another Djokovic and | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
Murray final. STUDIO: Always interesting to hear | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
from Sir Geoff. I wonder what David Beckham toss thoughts are. I'm sure | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
Gary will be on his way to try the few words with him. They are under | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
the roof, so play is continuing on Centre Court. Andy Murray is in | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
action against John Millman. Andy Murray has taken the first set 6-3, | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
and he is down 2-1 in the second set. That match is on BBC One. | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
Murray is on Centre Court on BBC One. I am looking at Court Number | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
One. They are just taking the covers off. We are hoping to get Novak | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
Djokovic and hurried back for you here on BBC Two. Sunshine around | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
here once again. -- Novak Djokovic and Sam Querrey. When we get back, | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
Djokovic will be serving to stay in the match. He is 2-1 down against | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
Sam Querrey. Now lets hear from another couple of famous faces in | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
the royal box, two bowlers who have led England's attack over the last | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
decade, Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad. Lovely to have you at | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
Wimbledon today. A bit surprised, because there is an England match, a | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
series involving England, and you are still keen to be part of the | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
one-day squad, Stuart. Summer is bidding for us, gritty -- summer is | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
busy for us, with the crooked. It's great to come to the tennis. We have | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
got a championship game tomorrow at Trent bridge, a great four days to | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
get ourselves ready for what is a huge series towards the end of this | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
summer at Pakistan. You couldn't play at the moment because you have | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
got a stress fracture to your right shoulder? Yes, an unusual injury. | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
The videos keep telling me they haven't seen it in a cricketer | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
before. -- the physios. I will be at Nottingham watching the Lancashire | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
boys take them on. I am still positive I can be fit for the first | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
test. Ranking is all important in this type of sport. The ranking in | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
Test cricket is passing between the two of you. Stuart, you were the | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
world number one, but Jimmy, you have nicked it at the moment. | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
Rankings are really important when you are number one. Different in | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
cricket. In cricket, it is kind of a guide to how consistent you have | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
been. They are not the be all and end all. Me and Stuart both take | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
wickets and they helped us win games. If we do that, we will be | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
near the top of the rankings. How important our events like Wimbledon | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
to help you get away and recharge the batteries? It's brilliant. What | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
a sporting event it is. I've not often have the opportunity. We are | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
normally very busy in the summer. To have the opportunity to come here | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
and what different games... It will be great to watch Andy Murray later | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
on. It's a fantastic spectacle. A nice break. Pakistan is around the | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
corner. Will you be fit for the first test? I am hopeful. The rehab | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
is going really well. Still two weeks away, so plenty of time to try | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
and get fit. I'm hopeful, because things are going so well for the | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
team. We played really well against Sri Lanka. Pakistan will be even | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
tougher. We got beaten by them in October at the Emirates. We want to | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
get our own back. We've got a great opportunity in our own home | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
conditions. We are playing well in Test cricket and we want to continue | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
that. How nifty are you with a tennis racket? Very average! I | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
started to take it up a little bit sort of March time, and it's a | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
really tough sport. It's a great sport to play because it gets you | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
running around and keeps you fit, but there are so many aspects you | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
can make mistakes with which, as a professional sportsman, gets quite | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
frustrating. I played a bit of tennis with Alex Hales, and he is | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
fantastic. Egypt it so hard. He's got all the attributes to be a good | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
tennis player. -- he hit it so hard. He is trying to coach me that it's | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
not going so well. You come here and you just want to get out there and | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
play, and then you do and you realise you are nowhere near as good | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
as these guys! It is an amazing place to come. So much tennis to | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
watch. We can relate to them a little bit, that one-on-one battle | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
that we have with a batsman when you are bowling. It is interesting to | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
try and see those sorts of battles. A great day out. I hope you guys go | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
out and watch how the experts do it for a change. Good luck against | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
Pakistan. Thank you. STUDIO: All athletes love watching | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
other sports, and they are watching Andy Murray at the moment, 6-3, 2-1 | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
down in the second set, but they are in the royal box. A bit of a battle | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
in the second set. That match is live over on BBC right now. You can | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
see that the sun is shining. We are hearing no play on outside courts | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
until around 5pm, but more hopeful than Court Number One, where the | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
covers are off, the net is up and the players will be out in a few | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
minutes. We have heard from Jimmy, Stuart and Sir Geoff Hurst, enjoying | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
their time in the royal box. There are Olympians in there as well. It | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
will be a very busy summer coming up. In 34 days' time, all roads will | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
lead to reopen. -- will lead to Rio. Just weeks away from another | :14:45. | :15:24. | |
Olympics in Rio. Can you give us an idea of what you are feeling at the | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
moment? I am overwhelmed with joy. I can't wait to get there. Hopefully | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
another time to create history by becoming another double Olympic | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
champion. Never had one male or female in the boxing, so I'd love to | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
bring that back to Britain. You are the only medallist in the boxing | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
squad in London heading to reopen. I guess you are a senior member. Yes, | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
I've got the most experience, the grand titles, the first time that's | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
been done in boxing. I'm really excited am going into this one. I | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
feel much more rounded, I have the experience. I know what it's like to | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
go to the Olympics. In 2012, I was unsure, didn't know what to expect. | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
This time, I'm full of confidence, fired up and ready to hopefully win | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
some golds. Did I read somewhere that you think the squad might win | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
more gold medals in Rio then you did in London? Yes, the team is strong. | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
I think it's the best team we've had since 1984. It shows how well we are | :16:34. | :16:41. | |
doing with British boxing. Give us a couple of names that people might | :16:42. | :16:52. | |
not be familiar with. This one guy is really good, definitely one to | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
watch out for. Anthony fouler as well, he is a really good prospect. | :16:56. | :17:05. | |
Is his cousin in it as well? I think so. | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
STUDIO: The good luck to nickel and all of the Olympians. The sun is | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
shining here. This is a big moment for Novak Djokovic. This was just | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
moments before going on court, getting himself in the right frame | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
of mind. He knows he's got one game, he's got to hold his serve to stay | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
in this championship, because he is coming out to serve to stay in the | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
match. But he is one of the great competitors, if not the greatest. He | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
will be giving his all against Sam Querrey. The players are on court, | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
warming up. We will be on Court Number One live very soon. We can | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
bring you some results from earlier. Nicolas Mahut will face the winner | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
of Djokovic and Querrey. He came through against his doubles partner | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
today. Rivals today, friends tomorrow. Mahut going through | :18:01. | :18:10. | |
against Herbert. Good friends. Another seed going through is Marin | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
Cilic, the number nine seed from Croatia. Through in straight sets | :18:15. | :18:24. | |
against Lukas Lacko, 63, 6-3, 6-4. He is through to face Kei Nishikori. | :18:25. | :18:33. | |
Alexander Zverev. This match is still a second-round match. Can you | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
believe that on the middle Saturday? The 24th seed, one of the talented | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
teenagers coming through. He came through against me Carl usually. 6-2 | :18:45. | :18:58. | |
in the fifth and final set. -- Mikhail. This started at 11am. | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
Angelique Kerber, through in straight sets against Carina | :19:04. | :19:10. | |
Witthoft of Germany. Going well at Wimbledon. And she is through to | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
face this baseline battler, Misaki Doi of Japan, who came through | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
against another German. She came through in straight sets, but there | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
were a lot of long rallies in this match, just like match point. She is | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
through 7-6, 6-3. She will play Angelique Kerber in the next round. | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
The first match completed on Centre Court, under the roof, and Simona | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
Halep, the number five seed, was up against Kiki Bertens. She is a | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
player who got through to the semifinal of the French Open. Halep | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
came through 6-4, 6-3. It was supposed to be tricky, but she came | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
through in straight sets. She will face the winner of Lee's Bonet -- | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
Alize Cornet or Madison Keys. Andy Murray is on Centre Court. That | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
match is on BBC One. We are heading over to Court Number One. We saw | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
Novak Djokovic getting in the zone prior to the match. Here is a very | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
nervous Boris Becker. This is such a crucial stage of the match, with | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
Novak Djokovic coming out here to serve to stay in the match. He is | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
two sets to one down, 5-6 down. He served for the set at 5-4 as well. | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
It is a topsy-turvy match. Tim Henman is with Andrew Castle. | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
It has been nervy every step of the way in this fourth set in | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
particular, on court, of court, overnight, that was critical. Two | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
sets down, Novak able to regroup. He came down, he went into a 4-0 lead. | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
Another break, then he came out and wrapped it up. We were thinking it | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
was following the same pattern as his match against Kevin Anderson | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
last year, when he went on to win a third Wimbledon title, his second | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
consecutive, but it wasn't to be. Sam Querrey breaking serve when | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
Djokovic was trying to go two sets all. We are still out here on Court | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
Number One. We should have something of a run at this now. We'll Novak | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
Djokovic, who holds four grand slam championship. Sorry, what a site | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
that is! Finally, some sunshine here on Court Number One. It would be a | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
real shock to the men's draw if the man with the greatest present of all | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
is taken out by Sam Querrey. Nothing great really at Nottingham or | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
Queen's Club, but a former top 20 player. 20 years of age. A best | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
ranking of 17. As a teenager, he was in the top 25 in singles and | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
doubles, and they thought he could be the next big American star. | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
Instead, he settled into four in America, 41st in the world, and | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
perhaps climbing if you can do well here. He hasn't turned into the | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
superstar that many people thought he would. Six foot six and one of | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
the best arms in the business. His father, Mike, was drafted as a | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
professional basketball player by the Detroit tigers. -- baseball | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
player. His natural arm has been the weapon of this match so far. 31 | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
aces. Tim Henman, he came through that first match against -- first | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
round match against Lukas Rosol from two sets down. That makes you feel | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
good, when you come back from that sort of situation. He beat Djokovic | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
in Paris in 2012. It gives you that sense of | :23:03. | :23:15. | |
invincibility, when you have won a tight one to begin a tournament. | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
Querrey was looking invincible in the first two sets yesterday, such | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
clean tennis. Very few unforced errors, only dropping four points on | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
his serve in the first set. Every time we've restarted today, and it | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
has been stop start, it is the footwork where Querrey has to work | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
harder. He's a big man, but the footwork can get a bit sticky. Over | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
an hour since they last played. Novak Djokovic, top seed, defending | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
champion, serving to stay in it. A deep ball on the baseline, but | :23:52. | :25:28. | |
Djokovic hasn't got any challenges left in this set. | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
I think I knew that, but you just lost a bit of concentration. | :25:36. | :25:49. | |
A break it is, one which Novak Djokovic must win. -- a breaker. | :25:50. | :26:06. | |
He has got one extra challenge now, Djokovic. Lets see if he needs it. | :26:07. | :26:28. | |
Oh, that's wild! Didn't fancy it in the air, swirling wind. Craig | :26:29. | :26:42. | |
Boynton, coaching Sam Querrey, experienced man. You really are | :26:43. | :26:51. | |
mixed to the shop, did he? -- didn't really commit to the shot, did he? | :26:52. | :28:20. | |
No time with these rain delays to play yourself into any sort of form, | :28:21. | :28:27. | |
to get your feet coordinated, to find out where the middle of the | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
racket exactly is. The longest rally of the match. | :28:31. | :30:41. | |
Admirable resistance from Sam Querrey. | :30:42. | :30:49. | |
Closing in on the biggest win of his career. | :30:50. | :31:17. | |
UMPIRE: Mr Querry is challenging the ball. The ball is called in. I am | :31:18. | :31:29. | |
sure this didn't even touch the line, it is so far inside. | :31:30. | :32:01. | |
So much I contact in this match between Djokovic and Boris Becker. I | :32:02. | :32:10. | |
would have loved to have heard their conversation jeering these breaks, | :32:11. | :32:15. | |
especially the last one. -- during these breaks. | :32:16. | :32:27. | |
He is really on the edge now. Two points for Querry on his serve. | :32:28. | :32:58. | |
That is a way, too. -- that is away. Whatever happens, Querry will have a | :32:59. | :33:16. | |
match point on his own delivery. Against the two-time defending | :33:17. | :33:22. | |
champion, the number one seed. UMPIRE: Mr Querry is challenging the | :33:23. | :33:31. | |
call on the service line. Probably just to buy some extra time. It has | :33:32. | :33:48. | |
been over a year since anyone was able to beat Djokovic at one of | :33:49. | :33:51. | |
these major championships. He's done it! A massive win for Sam | :33:52. | :34:21. | |
Querrey. A massive shop for Wimbledon 2016. -- a massive shock. | :34:22. | :34:31. | |
There will be no Novak Djokovic in week two at Wimbledon. | :34:32. | :35:04. | |
No doubt, the enquiry will take place for Novak Djokovic, who made | :35:05. | :35:22. | |
many more mistakes than we are used to. | :35:23. | :35:38. | |
But let's not take away anything from the effort of Sam Querrey. | :35:39. | :35:59. | |
Well, a stop- start a there are indeed on Court Number One, the | :36:00. | :36:06. | |
biggest shock of the tournament so far. Sam Querrey gets the job done. | :36:07. | :36:14. | |
Quite superb. He advances to the fourth round, and Djokovic is gone | :36:15. | :36:19. | |
from the Men's Singles. Let's talk to the winner. | :36:20. | :36:24. | |
A difficult match but the result was simple - you have beaten the world | :36:25. | :36:30. | |
number one. Could you sum up the emotions Quint smack -- the | :36:31. | :36:39. | |
emotions? I was happy to get through, and that is about it. This | :36:40. | :36:44. | |
is a player who has not gone out in the third round since 2009. How did | :36:45. | :36:50. | |
you do it where others could not? Yellow like I played the break | :36:51. | :36:53. | |
points really well. Every time we had a break point, I was able to | :36:54. | :36:58. | |
come with a big serve, and in the end, I fought the tie-breaker and | :36:59. | :37:01. | |
got a couple of loose errors, and that was it. Overnight, how | :37:02. | :37:13. | |
concerned were you that you were giving him the chance to regroup and | :37:14. | :37:16. | |
regain that laments them, because we know how mentally strong he is? The | :37:17. | :37:23. | |
first format games, then we had another rain delay, he got to | :37:24. | :37:26. | |
regroup. He is so amazing, arguably one of the best, on the weighted | :37:27. | :37:35. | |
possibly being the best ever. How far can you go in the rest of | :37:36. | :37:40. | |
Wimbledon, do you think is Mike I am taking it one round at a time. I | :37:41. | :37:45. | |
want to be happy with this right now and look forward to the next round a | :37:46. | :37:51. | |
little bit. Congratulations, Sam. SUE BARKER: What a massive shock for | :37:52. | :37:56. | |
Wimbledon, and a massive shock for this sport. The man who holds all | :37:57. | :38:00. | |
four grand slam titles and has looked unbeatable in recent years, | :38:01. | :38:06. | |
he has gone out in the third round to this man, who looks inspired | :38:07. | :38:09. | |
here. We have seen him over the years and we know he can play well | :38:10. | :38:13. | |
on grass, but this year he has come in a different player. The big serve | :38:14. | :38:17. | |
as always been there, but he is moving so much better, and he is | :38:18. | :38:27. | |
doing something he never did before in these championships, he came back | :38:28. | :38:30. | |
from two sets down to win from 12-10 in the fifth. He took his chances | :38:31. | :38:33. | |
when they mattered. We thought he might get tight on the match point, | :38:34. | :38:36. | |
but he didn't come and he held firm and he has pulled off the biggest | :38:37. | :38:39. | |
result of his career. A well done from Novak Djokovic, and I would | :38:40. | :38:46. | |
like to see what Novak has to say in his press conference. I don't know | :38:47. | :38:49. | |
whether it is an illness or an injury, but he didn't look like he | :38:50. | :38:53. | |
was all are mac. Certainly not be Djokovic we have seen in previous | :38:54. | :38:59. | |
championships. Sam is the man on Court Number One today. We will hear | :39:00. | :39:04. | |
a lot more from him. This news will be hitting all around Wimbledon, | :39:05. | :39:08. | |
upon the big hill and on Centre Court as well, because they will put | :39:09. | :39:12. | |
the results are on the scoreboard on Centre Court, but play continues | :39:13. | :39:19. | |
over on Centre Court. Andy Murray is there. He is one set up and he is | :39:20. | :39:25. | |
serving for 5-4. I get a feeling there is a buzz around Centre Court. | :39:26. | :39:29. | |
I bet they have put that result. Murray will not have missed it, | :39:30. | :39:34. | |
neither will Ivan Lendl. That has made this tournament very | :39:35. | :39:40. | |
interesting indeed. 6-3, five - four Murray recon think about that. He | :39:41. | :39:46. | |
has a job to do. What a story this is. Murray is in the other half, but | :39:47. | :39:52. | |
Federer is in Djokovic's half of the draw. It makes it very in to | :39:53. | :39:58. | |
resting. Sam Querrey is through, and I am sure someone who will be | :39:59. | :40:08. | |
delighted with that is Nicolas Mahut, who came through in four sets | :40:09. | :40:12. | |
against his doubles partner, Herbert. It is now Nicolas Mahut who | :40:13. | :40:17. | |
will play Sam Querrey at the very top of the draw. It is Querry | :40:18. | :40:22. | |
against Nicolas Mahut, not Novak Djokovic. Well, well! Tim has made | :40:23. | :40:32. | |
it here. What a shock. First, well done to Sam Querrey. He held his | :40:33. | :40:37. | |
nerve when it mattered. Very much. There were so many different | :40:38. | :40:41. | |
scenarios and aspects to this match. When you saw how he played in the | :40:42. | :40:48. | |
two sets yesterday. He won it in a tie-break, 8-6. He was waiting for | :40:49. | :40:53. | |
the level to drop, and it did. That was when the first signs of Djokovic | :40:54. | :40:59. | |
not engaging mentally, 4-1 down in the second set. He was serving and | :41:00. | :41:02. | |
volleying half-heartedly. We then had the rain delay and had to come | :41:03. | :41:06. | |
back today. Then you felt that Querry was aware he had something to | :41:07. | :41:10. | |
lose, and he lost the first four or five games in the first set. It was | :41:11. | :41:15. | |
difficult for both players to get rhythm, because we had so many | :41:16. | :41:19. | |
different delays, coming on and going off again. Once it got to that | :41:20. | :41:23. | |
end of the fourth set, you felt that when Djokovic was serving for the | :41:24. | :41:26. | |
set, this was the moment he would turn it around. For me, it was | :41:27. | :41:31. | |
always Querry's belief that he could hang in there and pull off the | :41:32. | :41:36. | |
upset. All credit to him. What about Djokovic? Your commentary box is | :41:37. | :41:40. | |
close to the court. He didn't look well, did he? He was talking a lot | :41:41. | :41:46. | |
with his box, particularly Boris. To me, he looked ill. I don't know. For | :41:47. | :41:54. | |
me, if I was going to question something, it was more mental than | :41:55. | :41:57. | |
physical. There was a lot of eye contact in the box, as Andrew | :41:58. | :42:01. | |
mentioned. We have seen over the years, he is so clear in his mind, | :42:02. | :42:06. | |
and his consistency in the majors has been unbelievable, whereas | :42:07. | :42:13. | |
today, it was so are and down. Today in practice, he did not want to | :42:14. | :42:17. | |
engage with it. Normally, he would be fired up and ready to go. It will | :42:18. | :42:22. | |
be interesting to see what he has to say in the press conference, I'm | :42:23. | :42:26. | |
sure. At the end, he gave Sam the thumbs up and said well done, but it | :42:27. | :42:30. | |
was a bizarre performance, because we have seen for so many years how | :42:31. | :42:35. | |
good and consistent he has been in the big events, and we haven't seen | :42:36. | :42:38. | |
a performance like this from Djokovic for a long time. From | :42:39. | :42:42. | |
Querry's point of view, you have to give yourself the opportunity. 31 | :42:43. | :42:48. | |
aces. Djokovic is possibly the best return in the history of the game. | :42:49. | :42:53. | |
To keep going for it in the important moments, it's an | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
unbelievable victory for him. What a great opportunity for the top half | :42:58. | :43:02. | |
of the draw. Those guys with the big serves, they are not easy to play | :43:03. | :43:06. | |
because you do not get a lot of red and don't get your racket on the | :43:07. | :43:11. | |
ball. It is hard to keep your concentration in matches like that. | :43:12. | :43:16. | |
Absolutely. It puts pressure on your server if he is holding serve | :43:17. | :43:19. | |
consistently. He is serving aces. We were looking for that reaction | :43:20. | :43:24. | |
today. Djokovic looked like he would respond by getting that third set, | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
but Querry was able to keep hanging in there in the important moments. | :43:29. | :43:33. | |
In the tie-break, he kept the first serve percentage up and when he got | :43:34. | :43:37. | |
the opportunity in the tie-break, he was obviously pretty relieved to get | :43:38. | :43:41. | |
over the finishing line. We saw it with Serena at the US Open, that the | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
pressure got to her, maybe the pressure of holding all four. When | :43:47. | :43:53. | |
Boris joined us at the Queen's Club, he talked about how everyone since | :43:54. | :43:56. | |
the Australian was going on about, you will win all four by winning the | :43:57. | :44:00. | |
French. The pressure is on and it has got to get to you at some point. | :44:01. | :44:06. | |
He is human. He is a student of the game, and obviously to have that | :44:07. | :44:11. | |
achievement is great. To win four in a row. Boris says you can only worry | :44:12. | :44:17. | |
about the next match, and that is what he has tried to do, but it was | :44:18. | :44:22. | |
a big dip in performance in terms of the level that Djokovic has been | :44:23. | :44:27. | |
playing at, and he is human. It wasn't easy, it was pretty swirly | :44:28. | :44:32. | |
there, fund on, you have got to warm up again, try to find your timing. | :44:33. | :44:37. | |
The rhythm the back of your court -- the court, there are many variables. | :44:38. | :44:42. | |
We have seen the top players come through those matches so often, and | :44:43. | :44:46. | |
that is what makes them great champions, but today was one | :44:47. | :44:50. | |
occasion when he was not able to do it. Let's look at the statistics | :44:51. | :44:54. | |
which show what a significant shock this was here. There we are. The | :44:55. | :45:03. | |
first Wimbledon loss in 17 matches. The first defeat in 31 Grand Slam | :45:04. | :45:15. | |
matches. The first time that he has lost in the third round since 2009 - | :45:16. | :45:22. | |
that is how dominant he has been. It has been an incredible run, and we | :45:23. | :45:25. | |
obviously reflect on the last 12 months of majors, but when you go | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
over the last three or four years, how he has dominated and finished | :45:30. | :45:32. | |
number one player in the world, it is incredible. It is the first | :45:33. | :45:37. | |
disappointing loss that he has had in a big tournament. When you bring | :45:38. | :45:41. | |
it into the context of this event, we were just catching a glimpse of | :45:42. | :45:44. | |
Centre Court with Andy Murray, and it was pretty obvious that the | :45:45. | :45:48. | |
result will have come up on the screen. The bars. It is not ideal | :45:49. | :45:53. | |
when you are trying to concentrate on your own job, up one set and | :45:54. | :45:59. | |
serving 5-4 for the second. For that to NEM pact on Andy -- for that to | :46:00. | :46:12. | |
have an impact on Andy... It makes a big impact on the top half of the | :46:13. | :46:17. | |
draw. There will be a certain Mr Federer with his feet up today | :46:18. | :46:23. | |
thinking, that is interesting. Yes, there are lots of people who will | :46:24. | :46:27. | |
fancy their chances. Certainly, Federer is looking to play himself | :46:28. | :46:31. | |
into form. You have that section with Federer, Johnson, Cilic and | :46:32. | :46:38. | |
Nishikori. Federer serves well. When you look at the section above, you | :46:39. | :46:43. | |
have Milos Raonic on Centre Court this afternoon later. He played well | :46:44. | :46:49. | |
at Queen's, getting to the finals. One of those players is going to get | :46:50. | :46:53. | |
through to the final. Federer is the one who has the form and history | :46:54. | :46:57. | |
here, but you have to wonder if there will be a much bigger surprise | :46:58. | :47:02. | |
finals. Steve Johnson is good on grass. E won at Nottingham. -- he | :47:03. | :47:15. | |
won. You feel that with the year that Roger has had, he had to have | :47:16. | :47:19. | |
the knee operation after the Australian, his first surgery in his | :47:20. | :47:23. | |
career, and the rehabilitation after that. He has had back problems as | :47:24. | :47:30. | |
well. Here's another one who hasn't been able to get a lot of momentum | :47:31. | :47:35. | |
or rhythm in tournament play. On the grass in Stuttgart, he got some | :47:36. | :47:39. | |
matches under his belt and looked like he was playing better and | :47:40. | :47:43. | |
better against Evans, but this is a step up in class. Having said that, | :47:44. | :47:48. | |
when UCD number one player in the world doll out of the top half, they | :47:49. | :47:52. | |
are going to be keen to take advantage of that. I am hearing that | :47:53. | :48:07. | |
Murray is odds-on to win Wimbledon. I think it was odds-on that we would | :48:08. | :48:14. | |
stay in Europe as well! It is a two horse race and you have to prove it | :48:15. | :48:17. | |
on the day. Andy has been so good as well. Djokovic has dominated and is | :48:18. | :48:22. | |
clearly the number one player in the world, but I think Andy has | :48:23. | :48:26. | |
separated himself from the others, so he was my favourite before the | :48:27. | :48:29. | |
tournament and certainly my favourite now that Djokovic has gone | :48:30. | :48:35. | |
out. That match is still on today. We are still a long way from the | :48:36. | :48:40. | |
title. As far as Sam Querrey goes, he now has to regroup and say, look, | :48:41. | :48:46. | |
I may have done that, but now I have to concentrate on my next match. You | :48:47. | :48:51. | |
cannot dip in form because he is up against a player who plays well on | :48:52. | :48:55. | |
grass, Nicolas Mahut. It is good to have gotten that match out of the | :48:56. | :49:01. | |
way. Tomorrow he will be able to enjoy the win, but he then has to | :49:02. | :49:05. | |
move forward and think about the next opponent. Nicolas Mahut knows | :49:06. | :49:10. | |
his way around the grass court. I saw him play the first round at | :49:11. | :49:15. | |
Queen's against Andy, I think it was too tie-break sets. It was quality | :49:16. | :49:20. | |
tennis. He won a grass court tournament before that. It is one of | :49:21. | :49:24. | |
those that, sometimes you reaction that can be negative. There can be a | :49:25. | :49:31. | |
downturn and it is tough to back it up. Querry has been around, and | :49:32. | :49:35. | |
experienced campaigner, so it is a tough match to pick. The match | :49:36. | :49:40. | |
point, that will be a point he will want to see time and again, when he | :49:41. | :49:46. | |
put out the great man, Novak Djokovic. He had a chance to get a | :49:47. | :49:51. | |
bit tight in this, didn't he? He was looking for the big serve to finish. | :49:52. | :49:55. | |
He was relieved when this forehand went wide. You have to feel for | :49:56. | :50:04. | |
Novak Djokovic. You know he is going to bounce back strongly. Certainly, | :50:05. | :50:11. | |
and there are so many big events. He will move forward after this | :50:12. | :50:15. | |
tournament. You have the Great Britain- Serbia Davis Cup tie. Then | :50:16. | :50:22. | |
you have the Olympics in Rio, and then the US Open. It is a busy | :50:23. | :50:26. | |
schedule, but first and foremost, Djokovic will be massively | :50:27. | :50:30. | |
disappointed to have gone out of Wimbledon. As soon as we hear from | :50:31. | :50:33. | |
Novak Djokovic in the press conference, we will bring that. Tim, | :50:34. | :50:37. | |
thank you. We know Novak Djokovic has gone out, that is the big story | :50:38. | :50:42. | |
of the Championships. Andy Murray is on Centre Court at the moment, under | :50:43. | :50:48. | |
the roof, and 5-5. Millman has broken back and fought back, so | :50:49. | :50:52. | |
Murray still has some work to do. That is live on BBC One. We have a | :50:53. | :50:57. | |
two-time champion on trouble on Court Number Two. Petra Kvitova is | :50:58. | :51:06. | |
one set down and in a second set tie-break Ekaterina Makarova. -- a | :51:07. | :51:16. | |
second set tie-break set Ekaterina Makarova. Let's join the commentary | :51:17. | :51:23. | |
team. At the moment, Makarova looks the | :51:24. | :51:26. | |
more confident. That has been the story of the match. 39 unforced | :51:27. | :51:34. | |
errors from Petra. Last night, after the holdover, Makarova won the first | :51:35. | :51:44. | |
set. To that of a broker back. Since then, -- Kvitova broke back. She | :51:45. | :51:59. | |
looks the steadier, Sam. It is windy. They have been on and off the | :52:00. | :52:02. | |
court, longer breaks, shorter breaks. Three times they have been | :52:03. | :52:12. | |
on and off. They started last night. Gathering again here. | :52:13. | :52:34. | |
She had that sinking feeling as she turned around, Kvitova. Her coach on | :52:35. | :52:48. | |
the right. It has been a stressful appointment, hasn't it? She has been | :52:49. | :52:57. | |
so streaky out here. Well done. Use that sparingly but effectively. She | :52:58. | :53:09. | |
has played well in patches. She has the bigger strike, the bigger | :53:10. | :53:14. | |
arsenal, but for me, it has been all crisis management. | :53:15. | :53:44. | |
So much time for curricula. The wind may have been a factor. It has been | :53:45. | :53:52. | |
an error- strewn match. With all these breaks, really, Kvitova is a | :53:53. | :53:57. | |
high-performance sports car wherever thing has to be absolutely right. | :53:58. | :54:04. | |
When it is, she can win Grand Slams. Makarova has been very solid, she | :54:05. | :54:07. | |
has played through the centre of the court. She has played a smart match, | :54:08. | :54:16. | |
served very consistently. She occasionally doesn't back herself in | :54:17. | :54:17. | |
these kinds of contests. She surely has to put pressure on | :54:18. | :54:46. | |
Makarova. It's just not happening. She has a history of losing matches | :54:47. | :54:56. | |
she should win. She was a quarterfinalist here a couple of | :54:57. | :55:01. | |
years ago, when she beat Radwanska. That was a case in point. She is two | :55:02. | :55:04. | |
points away here from a huge win. That is well played. Much simpler | :55:05. | :55:53. | |
when they first serve goes in. But the way she has been out here this | :55:54. | :55:57. | |
afternoon, and yesterday, I think she has been fractionally better | :55:58. | :56:00. | |
today than yesterday. You would not trust her to hit a barn door from | :56:01. | :56:06. | |
five paces, would you? These two serves could do the trick for my | :56:07. | :56:08. | |
caravan. -- for Makarova. They're rather the nerves. 64 mph on | :56:09. | :56:45. | |
that. No velocity at all. There is her coach, she has seen it before, | :56:46. | :56:48. | |
maybe suspected it would happen again. | :56:49. | :57:06. | |
Just enough stability there. And here is match point for Ekaterina | :57:07. | :57:11. | |
Makarova. She's got it! A massive win. | :57:12. | :57:53. | |
Makarova has been in the top ten in the world only a year ago, but she | :57:54. | :57:56. | |
has just fallen away from the big time. She is back in it after taking | :57:57. | :58:01. | |
out the double champion here, and a real threat to win the title, Petra | :58:02. | :58:07. | |
Kvitova. You feel like she would be pulling a rabbit out of a hat. She | :58:08. | :58:12. | |
has had a poor season and a bucket load of unforced errors, 43 in | :58:13. | :58:16. | |
total. Makarova played a smart game, on and off the court. Very concise | :58:17. | :58:22. | |
and consistent. There were a few who thought that Kvitova could have a | :58:23. | :58:28. | |
run, but very difficult when you come in with so many losses behind | :58:29. | :58:33. | |
you. She has done not a lot of this years. Quarterfinalist in my MA, | :58:34. | :58:39. | |
where she beat Kvitova. Quarterfinalist in Eastbourne. She | :58:40. | :58:42. | |
has only won two titles in her career. One of them was here in | :58:43. | :58:49. | |
2010. She has made it through to the last 32. Makarova the winner, 7-5, | :58:50. | :58:54. | |
7-6. SUE BARKER: Another shock out there. On Court Number Two. It seems | :58:55. | :59:00. | |
as though all the champions are falling. We will have a very | :59:01. | :59:04. | |
different second week here at Wimbledon. New names are emerging, | :59:05. | :59:08. | |
and new match ups that we will be looking forward to in the second | :59:09. | :59:12. | |
week. It has just been one seed going out after another right the | :59:13. | :59:15. | |
way through this tournament. The biggest shock of all happened a | :59:16. | :59:21. | |
short while ago on number one Court, when Novak Djokovic, the holder of | :59:22. | :59:28. | |
all four grand slam titles was beaten in four sets by the big | :59:29. | :59:31. | |
serving American Sam Querrey. That error proved costly. Querry is | :59:32. | :59:38. | |
through in four sets. Novak Djokovic, who did not look engaged, | :59:39. | :59:42. | |
we don't know what was wrong or the reason for it, but he was totally | :59:43. | :59:46. | |
outplayed by Querry. Two sets to love down last night. He had a | :59:47. | :59:55. | |
chance, served for the fourth set at 5-4 but was broken, and then Querry | :59:56. | :59:59. | |
took his chance. What a story this is, everyone talking about it at | :00:00. | :00:04. | |
Wimbledon. The person who looked unbeatable in the majors is out in | :00:05. | :00:07. | |
the third round, the first time he has lost at this stage of the | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
tournament since 2009. His reign at the top in the Grand Slams is over, | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
and Querry is the man everyone is talking about here. Sam Querrey is | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
the man who is through to the next round. Another American through. | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
They are going well - Steve Johnson, who has been so impressive on the | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
grass court. He is a big hitter and he is through against Grigor | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
Dimitrov. He is through in four sets. So Johnson goes through here | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
at Wimbledon. That is what has been happening. | :00:47. | :00:54. | |
Serving for it again, he has won be first set against John Millman, that | :00:55. | :01:04. | |
match is on BBC One. We are heading back to Court One, and I wonder how | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
the number nine seed is feeling, she is up against it here. She has | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
already lost her serve. Are we in for another shock? Plenty of | :01:20. | :01:31. | |
expectation on the shoulders. Recently broken into the world top | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
ten, already a break down. Couple of unforced errors in that service | :01:41. | :01:49. | |
going. Mis-hit does not help matters. | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
Slow start for Madison, making many unforced errors early on. Making | :01:58. | :02:12. | |
zero winners. Excuse me, one a winner and zero unforced errors, she | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
is really just getting the ball back into play. Madison, right now she is | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
misfiring. That is how to win a point. That | :02:20. | :02:38. | |
will help settle the nerves down for Madison. If she can get a few points | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
each game on her serve, she has done a great job, using her serve so well | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
on the grass. Mixing it up with a slicer, has a very cute serve. Not | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
sure able to handle both spins coming at them. | :03:01. | :03:11. | |
She is enjoying her highest seeding at a Grand Slam at Wimbledon. She | :03:12. | :03:22. | |
began her year outside the top ten, she was the 15th seed at the | :03:23. | :03:23. | |
Australian Open. She is pressing early. Not quite | :03:24. | :03:43. | |
finding her range. Not at all. One of the problems with Madison, in | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
between shock, when things are not going well, to get more margin and | :03:49. | :03:59. | |
more spin -- in between shot. Firmly struck. She knew where she wanted it | :04:00. | :04:08. | |
to go. Chance to hold serve. Get a first game on the board. | :04:09. | :04:29. | |
Gets herself on the board, that might settle her nerves, the first | :04:30. | :04:41. | |
holder of serve for Madison Keys. But Cornet is leading to- one in the | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
opening set. You are very close to Madison. Is relishing having broken | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
into the top ten? Absolutely. With that comes more pressure, but it had | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
been 17 years since an American had debuted in the top ten and four | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
years people were talking about Madison and maybe Sloan Stevens, is | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
able to accomplish that, as well. She has embraced it and has done a | :05:12. | :05:20. | |
very nice job of relishing it. It is a huge feat to get into the top ten, | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
but also hungry for more. Very comfortable with where she is. Her | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
career and how she is playing. Serena Williams, she was the last | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
American player... Get a macro that is so crazy. Madison could not | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
believe it, when she had been told she had broken into the top ten. -- | :05:41. | :05:50. | |
that is so crazy. She has something to live up to, and she has got to | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
come from behind, as well. Trailing 2-1 and a break down. | :05:56. | :06:21. | |
Double fault from both players. You take every free point that you can | :06:22. | :06:33. | |
get. She hit so deep with that forehand, | :06:34. | :07:02. | |
Keys. Did a better job of getting more rotation on her shots, but | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
still not timing it perfectly. The more shots she can hit the more | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
comfortable she can get out here, the better. | :07:13. | :07:35. | |
That is better. She is starting to work the points better. Cornet will | :07:36. | :07:49. | |
have to focus on her depth in this match, try to get her balls a bit | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
deeper in the court and try to push Madison back behind the baseline. | :07:54. | :08:17. | |
Fairly disgusted with herself, double fault at the worst possible | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
time, handing break points to your opponent. | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
Cornet wants a look at this. It looked well in. Very big second | :08:31. | :09:38. | |
serve, 69 mph, and well inside the baseline, not even close. Touch of | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
desperation on the break points, but it means we are all level and Keys | :09:45. | :09:53. | |
has broken back. It gives Madison a chance to hit the reset button, | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
starting again now. Slow start for two games, but now starting to find | :10:00. | :10:00. | |
her range. We know she can be a feisty | :10:01. | :10:12. | |
competitor, she often brings drama to the court. Drama was the first | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
thing that came to my mind when you were saying that. Saw some | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
incredible antics at the French Open with cramping and getting injury | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
time-outs. And from Cornet, and incredible over the top celebration | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
when she eventually won that drawn-out match, which caused a lot | :10:35. | :10:44. | |
of controversy. Much quicker service going for Keys. -- service game. | :10:45. | :11:17. | |
That was older friends from Cornet and the punches kept coming from the | :11:18. | :11:25. | |
Keys. -- that was all defence from Cornet. Keys moves ahead. The | :11:26. | :11:38. | |
forehands, getting a better position, more spin, most | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
importantly, that helps her find her range and her targets better, and so | :11:45. | :11:53. | |
much power. Almost every match Madison registers a couple of miles | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
per hour faster than all of her opponents. And on this surface where | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
it is so fast and the balls are skidding, it is very hard to control | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
your own ground strokes. She has been on the scene for a long time. | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
Played her first WTA match at the age of just 14. When such big things | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
are expected of you at such a young age, she has had to cope with a lot | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
of expectation and a lot of predictions will stop all of which | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
she is helping one day will come true. Isco has opened up in the | :12:31. | :12:39. | |
Gotham Path, as well. -- this draw has opened up in the second half, as | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
well. But still a lot of quality players, especially for this | :12:48. | :12:55. | |
section. The winner will play Halep and then most likely Angelique | :12:56. | :12:56. | |
Kerber. LAUGHTER | :12:57. | :13:39. | |
She keeps hammering away. Madison has so much time in this match, | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
especially when Cornet gets the ball short, she's able to dictate play | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
almost every point. The second time we have seen Cornet | :13:47. | :14:13. | |
import the drop shot and both times Keys has won the points -- employ | :14:14. | :14:28. | |
the drop shot. She is such a good move. | :14:29. | :14:39. | |
And it is a change of pace in those forehands, suddenly steps on the | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
accelerator and gives it much more. And her footwork has got better | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
compared to the first two games and now she is in position with her body | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
weight going forward, with just about every ground stroke she is | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
hitting, Madison. Cornet has got to get more on her own ground shots. | :15:01. | :15:26. | |
A break to love and those points very much won by Keys. So easy to | :15:27. | :15:40. | |
see when Madison is on and playing well, why people have expected big | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
things from her, especially in the United States. Great technique, | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
great athlete, big serve and amazing power off the ground. It has taken | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
her a bit longer than expected to harness it all and to learn to play | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
points but you can't deny the natural talent and athleticism that | :16:00. | :16:00. | |
she possesses. Not quite deep enough from Cornet, | :16:01. | :16:34. | |
Madison with her body weight going forward. A little too close, but she | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
made it. Far too short, always going to pounce on that. They are a bit | :16:41. | :16:50. | |
unlucky to be sitting out of the sunshine up there. We have not seen | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
much of it. I do not see any clouds at the moment, it is amazing. The | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
Denon say summer has arrived yet. -- we dare not say summer has arrived | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
yet. LAUGHTER Wonderful. Really starting to motor. | :17:07. | :17:36. | |
12 points in a row, Madison has won, incredible Street. -- Street. She | :17:37. | :17:45. | |
started off shakily, began the match with a double fault. | :17:46. | :18:03. | |
And she takes a 5-2 lead. What a kick there was on that serve, | :18:04. | :18:15. | |
creating so many problems. So after you get plays that specialise in one | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
serve for another, maybe a player who likes a slice serve, so you know | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
in a tense moment they will probably come round the outside. Truly, | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
Madison is one of the few players. Serena Williams has all of the | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
different service, whether slicing it away from her opponent, and then | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
gets an incredible kick on her serve, as well, and not many players | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
have that ability on the women's tour to do that with their serve -- | :18:45. | :18:56. | |
Serena Williams has all of the different service. What about | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
coaching? She's pretty good about it. Most important is to keep it | :19:02. | :19:12. | |
simple. She's not a player... Oh! There are the clouds. We spoke too | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
soon. She's very hard-working, Madison. The hard work so far paying | :19:19. | :19:31. | |
off. Into the top ten, ninth seed. And now Cornet is serving to stay in | :19:32. | :19:33. | |
this first set. Double fault number three. She might | :19:34. | :19:59. | |
well puff out her cheeks, she needs to get her going together pretty | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
quickly. -- her game together pretty quickly. | :20:07. | :20:16. | |
The serve from Cornet just served a streak -- just stopped a streak of | :20:17. | :20:41. | |
18 straight points by Madison. And has not made an unforced error now | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
since the fourth game. She has cut down on them. | :20:45. | :21:33. | |
All of a sudden. Another area of her game which has improved so much, the | :21:34. | :21:44. | |
return, and putting it back into play, the last two returns, that was | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
more like the old Madison. That would collect snow, given the | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
weather we have had, that would not be unlikely. The game goes to | :21:58. | :22:05. | |
Cornet, but Keys still has the chance to serve for the opening set. | :22:06. | :22:15. | |
The coach and train there of Manson. They read good mix. Thomas is more | :22:16. | :22:24. | |
disciplined and serious, Scott is more laid-back. -- trainer. He has | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
also worked with rear Sharapova. Beautifully wrong-footed Cornet. The | :22:32. | :23:20. | |
second serve of Madison, you can see how high this kicks up, Cornet is | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
making contact above her shoulders, very tough for opponents to get the | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
upper hand even when returning the second serve of Keys. | :23:31. | :23:44. | |
She was in the right position at the net. She had the whole court, one of | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
the few points that Cornet has been in control of, and it was not a good | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
enough for -- volley. That will hand Keys set point. | :23:58. | :24:39. | |
Cornet is yet to drop a set at Wimbledon this year, came through in | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
straight sets in both rounds. But she really had to guts it out in the | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
last match. That is a smart serve, right after | :24:50. | :25:32. | |
the double fault, getting the serve to curve into the body, very safe, | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
takes the pressure off her having to hit her second. Set point number | :25:38. | :25:49. | |
two. The errors seem to be creeping in at the wrong time. Definitely a | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
bit tighter, trying to serve the set out, that she was a couple of | :25:56. | :26:06. | |
service games ago. That return of serve did not feel as if it was | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
under control. Somehow the angle has earned Cornet break back point. | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
UMPIRE: Miss Keys is challenging the call. | :26:20. | :26:32. | |
Oh! Hawk-Eye says yes. Cornet cannot believe it. Seriously, how can you | :26:33. | :26:54. | |
see? Cannot argue with Hawk eye too much. That is effectively what the | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
chair umpire might have said. The screamer from Madison Keys. -- | :26:59. | :27:31. | |
scream. Cornet let her off the hook, had a couple of short balls, was | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
making shots in, and then had one to the forehand with not enough power | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
and Madison made her pay. The bit more blustery down there, as well. | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
-- a bit. Better from Cornet in that rally. | :27:46. | :28:26. | |
She likes to wear down her opponents. I'm not sure she meant to | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
make that ball so short, but it was perfect. She was well behind the | :28:32. | :28:36. | |
baseline and it did not bounce up. As you said, it is much breezy out | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
there, play is more difficult for these two. -- more breezy. We spoke | :28:42. | :28:58. | |
about the difficulty Madison had of closing her game out the other | :28:59. | :29:07. | |
night. I wonder if some of those Fx are lingering around. Well, that | :29:08. | :29:20. | |
helps. Cornet likes to work herself up into a lather, I'm never sure if | :29:21. | :29:22. | |
it helps. Oh! Welcomer she opened up her | :29:23. | :29:44. | |
shoulders so much, telegraphed where the forehand was going. -- well, she | :29:45. | :29:53. | |
opened up her shoulders. Third break point for Cornet, with Keys at the | :29:54. | :29:59. | |
other end battling to serve out the set. | :30:00. | :30:15. | |
Coming back on serve in this opening set. It wasn't the prettiest of | :30:16. | :30:22. | |
games by either player, but Cornet gets back on track. Keys, 5-4. I | :30:23. | :30:39. | |
mentioned the second round match against RAA rani, she was on court | :30:40. | :30:45. | |
for more than two hours and it was a gruelling match. Eventually she came | :30:46. | :30:49. | |
through in straight sets. It was a good win for her. She has only | :30:50. | :30:56. | |
beaten Sara Errani once before. It was good for her -- it was not very | :30:57. | :31:05. | |
good for her preparation for Wimbledon. Keys came in with her run | :31:06. | :31:15. | |
to the title in Birmingham. How lovely to see that blue sky up | :31:16. | :31:19. | |
above. Hopefully, this match will go through uninterrupted. Such a long | :31:20. | :31:22. | |
wait for the players to even get this match underway. Cornet, | :31:23. | :31:27. | |
probably very happy with the rain yesterday. It gave her another day | :31:28. | :31:33. | |
off and more time for her body to recover for today's match. So, the | :31:34. | :31:47. | |
Frenchwoman, ranked 61 in the world, serving to bring things level at 5-5 | :31:48. | :31:49. | |
if she can. That is the hammer blow forehand. It | :31:50. | :32:19. | |
is a shot that Keys is more comfortable with, especially in | :32:20. | :32:23. | |
tight moments and Cornet knows that she missed played a couple of | :32:24. | :32:26. | |
forehands short in the court, into the Keys forehand. Tough to win | :32:27. | :32:30. | |
those types of points if you are Cornet. | :32:31. | :32:42. | |
So near! Picking it up off of her shoelaces. She is trying to hammer | :32:43. | :32:58. | |
that ball to the backhand wing of Keys, knowing that beforehand is the | :32:59. | :33:06. | |
stronger weapon. -- knowing that the forehand. | :33:07. | :33:19. | |
It is hard always to get the ball where you want it against Keys, | :33:20. | :33:26. | |
because it comes back awfully fast. No questioning, her level has | :33:27. | :33:29. | |
dropped from the middle part of the set, where she looked almost | :33:30. | :33:32. | |
unbeatable. That is what you have to do against Keys, weather the storms. | :33:33. | :33:41. | |
From 0-30, Keys letting an opportunity slip. | :33:42. | :34:14. | |
Again, undone by the power. It is coming back from the other side of | :34:15. | :34:29. | |
the net. So, a fourth time, a fourth chance for Madison Keys to seal this | :34:30. | :34:34. | |
sector. She couldn't do it on her own serve, can she do it on | :34:35. | :34:36. | |
Cornet's? That is how much she wants it. | :34:37. | :34:52. | |
Although she hasn't played her best tennis throughout this whole set, | :34:53. | :34:58. | |
but she breaks serve to win the first, 6-4. The job is done, Lindsay | :34:59. | :35:04. | |
Davenport, at least at this moment. What a way to win that set. The | :35:05. | :35:09. | |
level had dropped off Madison. Played it safe but forced herself to | :35:10. | :35:12. | |
be aggressive in the final point. She started with a nice, measured | :35:13. | :35:19. | |
return, had some spin on this. No hesitation with the short ball | :35:20. | :35:24. | |
moving forward. Nice backhand volley to the open court, but better yet, | :35:25. | :35:28. | |
the reaction. No question, a couple of nerves entered the equation in | :35:29. | :35:34. | |
closing out this set. She was pumped. And she is not so happy. | :35:35. | :35:51. | |
All that yellow on the right-hand side shows who came out on top. | :35:52. | :35:59. | |
Cornet has to win more points on her first and second serves. Since she | :36:00. | :36:05. | |
is not going for much on the first serve, it would probably help to get | :36:06. | :36:12. | |
a higher percentage in play. The depth of the Cornet shot is | :36:13. | :36:15. | |
important. It is difficult to win points when you drop balls short | :36:16. | :36:19. | |
against Keys and that big she possesses. Only two winners from the | :36:20. | :36:26. | |
racket of Cornet. A huge difference in the stats. It shows how Keys has | :36:27. | :36:33. | |
been handing her points. If she can iron out those errors, she could | :36:34. | :36:39. | |
expect, hopefully, to wrap this up in straight sets. | :36:40. | :36:59. | |
In the same way that the first set started, the second set starts with | :37:00. | :37:03. | |
a double fault. Oh, what a pass! And what a point! | :37:04. | :38:20. | |
This point turned around a couple of different times, but then Cornet had | :38:21. | :38:24. | |
the advantage at the end but did not do enough with that backhand volley, | :38:25. | :38:28. | |
a game, write to the forehand off Madison, the bigger weapon off the | :38:29. | :38:29. | |
ground. -- again, the bigger weapon. At 0-30 on her serve as well, that | :38:30. | :39:01. | |
killer forehand pass was important. So, she has levelled things up in | :39:02. | :39:02. | |
this game. Yes... Some incredible angles there. | :39:03. | :39:59. | |
Good movement from both players as well. Cornet, how she got that to | :40:00. | :40:04. | |
curl around back in just over the net. | :40:05. | :40:13. | |
So smart - Madison has started to use the body serve beautifully. | :40:14. | :40:40. | |
Good second serve, really went after it. | :40:41. | :41:09. | |
Is an important hold for Madison Keys. From 0-30, staving off a break | :41:10. | :41:16. | |
as well. The first call-out in French in | :41:17. | :41:39. | |
support of at least Cornet. -- Alize Cornet. | :41:40. | :42:16. | |
That isn't a better serve from Cornet, one of the better ones we | :42:17. | :42:43. | |
have seen in the match will stop she has to get that placement because | :42:44. | :42:46. | |
she does not possess a lot of power. UMPIRE: Miss Cornet is challenging | :42:47. | :43:09. | |
the call. The ball was called out. What does Hawkeye say? Yes. You | :43:10. | :43:14. | |
don't need much. That is plenty. Wow! Sheep all that out of the bag, | :43:15. | :44:15. | |
didn't she? What a different service game from Cornet. She will have to | :44:16. | :44:18. | |
take some chances like that on her service games. -- sheep all that out | :44:19. | :44:29. | |
of the bag. Hitting it to the corners, that is what she needs to | :44:30. | :44:30. | |
do. This is more like some of the | :44:31. | :45:54. | |
forehands and errors we saw in the opening set. No spin on that one, no | :45:55. | :45:59. | |
need to go for it that big when she was behind the baseline. | :46:00. | :46:05. | |
That is what you get in some of these Madison Keys matches - patches | :46:06. | :46:13. | |
of brilliance mixed in with inconsistent patches. And that is | :46:14. | :46:16. | |
something that has to change if she wants to make this next jump into | :46:17. | :46:18. | |
the top five or six. Well, it is a pretty horrible way to | :46:19. | :46:47. | |
be broken. Cornet moving ahead in the second set. Keys won the first, | :46:48. | :47:02. | |
but Cornet leads to- one. -- Cornet leads numeric 2-1. What is it that | :47:03. | :47:10. | |
she needs to do to improve? Is it putting the hours in? It is mental. | :47:11. | :47:21. | |
These players, they hit thousands of shots. She knows that she needs more | :47:22. | :47:25. | |
spin and more margin, but sometimes when you feel not as calm, you feel | :47:26. | :47:31. | |
a little nervous, bad habits come in. And one of those for Madison is | :47:32. | :47:38. | |
to go for the winner, to get the points too quickly. Part of what I | :47:39. | :47:42. | |
was trying to do is, she is so fast in such a great athlete, she doesn't | :47:43. | :47:47. | |
need to hit winners. She could cover the court and be defensive, which is | :47:48. | :47:51. | |
not the style you would want to play, but there is no reason for her | :47:52. | :47:55. | |
to panic and end points too quickly. It is something she is getting | :47:56. | :48:02. | |
better rat, but still in certain situations, you can see that the | :48:03. | :48:09. | |
thought crossed maybe -- that the thought process maybe isn't there. | :48:10. | :48:10. | |
-- she is getting better at. The right idea, down the line. She | :48:11. | :48:51. | |
had the whole court and just try to overplay. It will be interesting to | :48:52. | :48:56. | |
see how Cornet now handles this. What a difference from the first set | :48:57. | :49:05. | |
where she was at 50%, now she has at 86. What an improvement that is. | :49:06. | :49:15. | |
Keys only getting half. 50%. Ever since that 5-2 lead, the play has | :49:16. | :49:18. | |
been more even from the two of them. Wow! From that serve on the TV, a | :49:19. | :49:39. | |
very good hold for our lease Cornet. -- for Alize Cornet. Cone they has | :49:40. | :49:48. | |
to be more careful with her approach. She got away with that | :49:49. | :49:52. | |
there. She has a nice lead in the second set. | :49:53. | :50:28. | |
A nasty slip. Looks like she's OK. It's so hard to change direction on | :50:29. | :50:45. | |
the grass. That wasn't too bad, I don't think. | :50:46. | :50:57. | |
A quick service game from Madison Keys, but she is still a break down | :50:58. | :51:03. | |
in the second set, after winning the first 6-4. | :51:04. | :51:22. | |
SUE BARKER: We will be back with this match in a moment, but so much | :51:23. | :51:28. | |
is happening, we will break away for a while to bring you the news that | :51:29. | :51:32. | |
Andy Murray is safely through to the fourth round here at Wimbledon. He | :51:33. | :51:38. | |
defeated John Millman on Centre Court, 6-3, 7-5, 6-2. So Andy Murray | :51:39. | :51:44. | |
is through to face either Nick Kyrgios Feliciano Lopez, but that | :51:45. | :51:48. | |
was very another impressive performance from Britain's number | :51:49. | :51:51. | |
one, to the delight of the Centre Court crowd. Andy is through come | :51:52. | :51:57. | |
about in this Championships, it has been full of shocks in the first | :51:58. | :52:02. | |
week. Today, we had the biggest one of all. Sam Querrey, here serving at | :52:03. | :52:06. | |
match point against the world number one, the man who holds all four | :52:07. | :52:15. | |
grand slam titles, Novak Djokovic. And that means no Djokovic in the | :52:16. | :52:22. | |
second week of Wimbledon. The last time he lost before the | :52:23. | :52:26. | |
quarterfinals in a Grand Slam was back in 2009. He looked very | :52:27. | :52:30. | |
listless in that match, and strangely out of sorts, but you | :52:31. | :52:36. | |
cannot take any away -- anything away from this man. He was hitting | :52:37. | :52:42. | |
big from the back of the court. The crowd certainly appreciated his | :52:43. | :52:45. | |
performance, but everybody is wondering what is wrong with Novak | :52:46. | :52:49. | |
Djokovic. Straight from the court, he walked into the press conference, | :52:50. | :52:54. | |
and this is what he had to say. Congratulations to Sam. He played | :52:55. | :53:00. | |
eight horrific match. He serves very well, and he usually does. I think | :53:01. | :53:04. | |
that part of his game was brutal today. He made a lot of free points | :53:05. | :53:12. | |
with the first serve. Well done, he just overpowered me. Word you 100% | :53:13. | :53:18. | |
healthy? Not really, but it is not the place and time to talk about it. | :53:19. | :53:26. | |
Again, the opponent was playing on a very high level and he deserved to | :53:27. | :53:31. | |
win. I don't want to take anything out of victory for my opponent | :53:32. | :53:35. | |
today. He played well and deserved to win. I had my chances, maybe in | :53:36. | :53:41. | |
the fourth set, serving for the set in the tie-break I was leading, but | :53:42. | :53:45. | |
I wasn't feeling the ball as well as I wished, but that is sport. How | :53:46. | :53:51. | |
might this impact your decision about the Davis Cup? No, I am not | :53:52. | :53:58. | |
going to play it. It is an amazing feeling to be able to hold four | :53:59. | :54:04. | |
grand slam is at the same time. Coming into Wimbledon, obviously, I | :54:05. | :54:10. | |
knew that mentally it would not be easy to read motivate myself -- to | :54:11. | :54:17. | |
motivate myself again, but the importance of this tournament is so | :54:18. | :54:21. | |
immense that you always find ways to get really inspired and prepare a | :54:22. | :54:25. | |
rant try to give your best. Beasley, my best wasn't enough this year. We | :54:26. | :54:33. | |
saw you -- obviously, my best. What would you thinking this morning? As | :54:34. | :54:39. | |
I said, I don't want to talk about it. Please respect that. How do you | :54:40. | :54:44. | |
think you will deal with this? How what is the best way to deal with -- | :54:45. | :54:50. | |
what is the best way to deal with the disappointment? I have a family | :54:51. | :54:55. | |
and a life outside of tennis, so I have plenty to look forward to. I | :54:56. | :55:02. | |
will pay more attention to those things than tennis in the next | :55:03. | :55:06. | |
period, and I need that. It has been a very successful year so far, but a | :55:07. | :55:10. | |
long and exhausting one in every sense. I just need some rest. SUE | :55:11. | :55:17. | |
BARKER: Obviously, hugely disappointed and not wanting to talk | :55:18. | :55:21. | |
about what was wrong with him. But Novak Djokovic is out of the | :55:22. | :55:24. | |
tournament. On Court Number Two at the moment, the Eastbourne champion, | :55:25. | :55:31. | |
Dominika Cibulkova, serving for the first set against Eugenie Borchard, | :55:32. | :55:34. | |
who put out Johanna Konta in the last round. That is on the red | :55:35. | :55:38. | |
button if you want to watch that. But we are heading back to Court | :55:39. | :55:42. | |
Number One, where Alize Cornet has held serve, so she is 4-2 up. Let's | :55:43. | :55:50. | |
rejoin Lindsay and Alison. Madison Keys, the ninth seed, with | :55:51. | :55:52. | |
some work to do in this second set. These misfits, Lindsay Davenport, | :55:53. | :56:13. | |
creeping in more than she would like. She is doing a better job of | :56:14. | :56:18. | |
playing to her temple, not just reacting and playing defensively. | :56:19. | :56:24. | |
Reading some of the key shots better, returning better, serving | :56:25. | :56:27. | |
better, which has allowed her to be more aggressive off the ground. | :56:28. | :57:12. | |
Cornet is reading that kick-serve better. Absolutely, and placing | :57:13. | :57:18. | |
balls better in the court where she wants them to go. Having more time | :57:19. | :57:22. | |
to do what she wants to do on the court. | :57:23. | :57:30. | |
She like that! -- she will like that! Tremendous backhand. Alize | :57:31. | :57:47. | |
gave Cornet -- Madison gave Cornet too much on that. Two break points. | :57:48. | :58:05. | |
And there it is for Cornet. She goes a double break up in this second | :58:06. | :58:14. | |
set. Keys won the first 6-4, but Cornet is right back and she will be | :58:15. | :58:26. | |
serving for the second set. Quite the turnaround, isn't it, from the | :58:27. | :58:31. | |
first set and the period where Keys won 14 points in a row, wrestle the | :58:32. | :58:36. | |
momentum after race slow start, but Cornet is really now forcing Keys to | :58:37. | :58:44. | |
play more to her rhythm and pace. That is not easy to do against | :58:45. | :58:48. | |
Madison and her power, but there were periods in that first set where | :58:49. | :58:52. | |
Keys was playing the type of tennis that can potentially win a grand | :58:53. | :58:56. | |
slam title. Maybe here this year, maybe it takes a few years. Then the | :58:57. | :59:03. | |
other level comes in, a level where there are a lot of unforced errors. | :59:04. | :59:09. | |
She has to reset right here and right now. Cornet is a tough | :59:10. | :59:13. | |
opponent, gets a lot of balls back into play. She has raised her level, | :59:14. | :59:15. | |
and Madison has to do the same here. So, a big service game now for Alize | :59:16. | :59:34. | |
Cornet. That is a better return, more | :59:35. | :00:00. | |
aggressive. At the changeover, the team were encouraging Madison to | :00:01. | :00:05. | |
step into the court and take some balls earlier. That was a better | :00:06. | :00:07. | |
return there. That is a bit more of the attacking | :00:08. | :00:29. | |
Keys instinct. This is the type of tennis that she wants to play on a | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
grass court, and you want Madison to play - moving forward and looking to | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
take balls early, play it on her terms, win or lose. | :00:39. | :00:57. | |
She had a couple of chances where she could have finished off that | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
point, but she earns herself free very valuable break back points. | :01:04. | :01:13. | |
What the drop volley, between the baseline and service line. | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
Brilliantly waited, brilliantly placed. | :01:21. | :01:52. | |
Ooh, that's too good. Great job by Cornet to take control of this point | :01:53. | :02:06. | |
and keep control of it. Perfectly placed folly. | :02:07. | :02:18. | |
Someone's going to challenge. The ball was called in. She didn't | :02:19. | :02:42. | |
hesitate, did she? On break point. It was called out and overruled in. | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
That was on the line. That's a break for Keys, there. Well, is this the | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
start of the fightback in the second set? | :02:57. | :03:28. | |
Madison looks a little more calm right now than she did six or seven | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
minutes ago when she was forcing the play a little bit, going for two big | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
of shots. Settled back down here. That was pretty perfect. Has that | :03:37. | :04:41. | |
nice rhythm on her serve again. Sometimes she tries to force things. | :04:42. | :04:50. | |
When the toss and the body is in with it is very hard to read, very | :04:51. | :04:51. | |
hard to return. -- is in rhythm. Although that was a pretty good | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
return of serve. Important hold keeps her in this | :05:01. | :05:22. | |
second set. Cornet has played a couple of top | :05:23. | :05:35. | |
ten players this year and lost twice. Came up against Victoria | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
Azarenka in the Jade and Radwanska in Miami. This would be a big win | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
for her if she can take Keys into a decider, if she can win through into | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
the last extreme. A player of Madison Keys' quality. She has been | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
in the last extreme of Wimbledon before, back in 2014, and she even | :05:59. | :06:07. | |
beat Serena Williams along the way. At this stage. Before losing out to | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
Jeannie Bouchard. Still a few empty seats. Some people | :06:10. | :06:23. | |
wanting to get up and walk around to recover from the shock defeat of | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
Novak Djokovic on this very court which was the match that kept Cornet | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
and Keys waiting today. Four disruptions for rain during the | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
conclusion of that match as well. Thankfully no disruptions so far but | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
Cornet, at 5-4, coming out to serve for the second set. | :06:42. | :07:12. | |
Once again the momentum has completely shifted in this match. At | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
one point Cornet was dictating play, going after her serve. If you spin | :07:19. | :07:29. | |
your first serve in at 89 mph, doesn't really show a whole lot of | :07:30. | :07:40. | |
confidence. Certainly under a bit of pressure now. | :07:41. | :08:09. | |
What a game. From 5-2, Madison Keys has pulled it back. Level at 5-5 in | :08:10. | :08:31. | |
this second set. There's always a few ups and downs | :08:32. | :09:02. | |
in all of the Keys matches. Bit of a roller-coaster ride. Yes. Almost | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
everyone at some point. One of the things she is doing better is | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
resetting faster. A lot of times we setting before it's too late. -- | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
resetting before it's too late. Pulled Cornet outside the court and | :09:17. | :10:15. | |
was able to angle this ever so slightly out of the reach of Cornet. | :10:16. | :10:50. | |
Lovely. Doesn't get much better than that. Took her time with this | :10:51. | :11:03. | |
running forehand. Got it over the net. Such a great, powerful shot. | :11:04. | :11:14. | |
Ooh. Bang on that service line. Game | :11:15. | :11:37. | |
point again for 6-5. Errors creeping back in. Not a lot | :11:38. | :12:38. | |
of margin on those backhands. Good idea to take some time and regroup | :12:39. | :12:49. | |
here if you are Madison. What a great serve to come up with facing | :12:50. | :13:00. | |
break point. So well placed. She is next in enough up the tea and out | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
wide that Cornet isn't quite sure where she's going. | :13:07. | :13:33. | |
Second break point, such an important time, business end of the | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
second set, Cornet desperate to take this match to a deciding set. | :13:39. | :14:11. | |
The break coming up such a crucial time. Really gave it that breakaway, | :14:12. | :14:23. | |
too. Cornet made some more shots on the court but a number of backhand | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
errors, not a lot of margin. Cornet is a fighter. Back to 5-5 and she is | :14:29. | :14:37. | |
still a feisty competitor. That's really one of her best attributes. | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
She doesn't go in for bottling up her emotions, does she? Or her | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
feelings. Cheerful news on the big screen, victory for Andy Murray. And | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
this is the match this crowd witnessed. That's also a cheer for | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
Andy Murray, the crowd realising with Novak out of this tournament, | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
much better chance for Andy Murray to perhaps when the second Wimbledon | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
title. Is he your favourite now in the men's? I think he has to be, | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
doesn't he? Take Djokovic out of the equation. I think Federer is | :15:15. | :15:25. | |
probably pretty happy, too. This Court has seen some seeds fall | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
during this tournament so far. Not quite sure what that conversation | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
was about. Think it was about her slamming the racket into the grass. | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
So that's a slap on the wrist. They are pretty protective of their | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
courts, here. Cornet at 6-5, serving to take us into a decider. | :15:47. | :16:16. | |
So well constructed by Cornet. That's what it takes, sometimes. | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
Sometimes you have to hit nine or ten ground strokes before you can | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
win the point. Great patients from Keys, not always a strong suit of | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
hers. -- great patience. And the pressure swings back onto | :16:30. | :17:27. | |
Cornet. Cornet went after that serve more. | :17:28. | :17:52. | |
Looked pretty far inside the line. Yes, it was well in. Didn't touch | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
the line. Cornet burns herself -- earns | :17:56. | :18:27. | |
herself a set point. And she's done it. Taking Madison | :18:28. | :19:01. | |
Keys into a deciding set. Cornet fighting back, taking the second set | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
7-5. Match on and we'll be back on Court Number One in a little time, | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
because we are going to take you through the main news stories of the | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
day. Good news for Britain's number one Andy Murray is that he is | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
through in straight sets. Another straight sets victory, yet to drop a | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
set at the tournament and that will please his coaches Ivan Lendl and | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
Jayme Doll garden. John Millman making his Wimbledon | :19:25. | :19:34. | |
Centre Court debut. It was a wonderful match to watch with the | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
Centre Court crowd thoroughly enjoying it and thoroughly enjoying | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
Murray's performance particularly. He goes through to the fourth round | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
in the second week of Wimbledon. But Novak Djokovic will not be there, | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
that is the big shop here today. We've lost so many seeds throughout | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
the tournament but this is not just a shock for Wimbledon, it is a shock | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
for the world of tennis. The man that had looked unbeatable in the | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
Grand Slams is put out in the third round by this big serving American, | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
a barrage of aces, 31 in total, and some big hitting. Djokovic did not | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
look himself, looked a little listless. He did not want to give | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
anything away in the press conference, said he did not want to | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
talk about it. But you can't take anything away from Sam Querrey, he | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
played the match of his life. Once he was safely through, the 28th | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
seed, this marathon out on court 12, sufferers has won 12-10 in the third | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
set. The Lucie Safarova goes through. But | :20:37. | :20:52. | |
what about or in the third. And generous love to read | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
Sabine Lisicki is out. Yaroslava Shvedova will play suffer Lucie | :20:58. | :21:10. | |
Safarova in the next round. No problems for burn atomic. The 19th | :21:11. | :21:23. | |
seed has put out Roberto Bautista Agut. And he goes through to face | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
either Lucas Pouille or Juan Martin Del Potro. So that is the story is, | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
there, but this is a story brewing out on court, doubles match | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
involving Nicholas are talking to these umpire. They are playing live | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
Hewitt and Jordan Thompson. There is a spectator in the crowd talking to | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
him, to him, intimidating him, putting him off. Late in Hewitt | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
starts to get involved. This has been bubbling under for a few games. | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
Now wow really not happy, asking for the spectator to be removed. | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
The umpire makes a call and just a few moments later... There she is, | :22:08. | :22:24. | |
she is being removed from the court. Almagro has his way. And it is a bit | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
testy out on that court, a tough one. 14-14. It is only best-of-3. | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
The spectator is asked to leave the court. And they play on, currently | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
14-14. The Eastbourne champion is going well. Up against Jimmy | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
Bouchard, who played so well on Centre Court putting out Britain's | :22:51. | :22:51. | |
Konta. So that's what's been happening | :22:52. | :23:01. | |
today, another very busy day and a day of shocks, but let's go back to | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
Court One. We missed just one game. Madison Keys held serve. | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
COMMENTATOR: Madison Keys held her opening service game to love in this | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
deciding set. She started slowly for each of her service game the first | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
two sets. Preferred to get that game on the board. Madison got broken | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
three times in the second set. This is a big game for both players. | :23:29. | :24:01. | |
Keys has good momentum, winning six points. Cornet does not want to give | :24:02. | :24:11. | |
Keys any reason to feel comfortable in this second -- deciding set, | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
especially early on. Not the first time Cornet has | :24:18. | :24:29. | |
slipped on the grass, here. Looks as if this one has hurt her more than | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
the last. Landing heavily on the right hip. | :24:37. | :24:55. | |
Couple of break points, then. Bit more self talk going on at the far | :24:56. | :25:31. | |
end of the court from Cornet. Madison again not in control of any | :25:32. | :25:32. | |
of these points. And a great start in this third set | :25:33. | :25:57. | |
for Keys. She needed that, going up a break early. | :25:58. | :26:08. | |
Yeah, I think that fall has certainly done a little bit of | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
mischief. During that second set, her second | :26:13. | :26:39. | |
serve did not as well as it did in the first. A huge factor. Those | :26:40. | :26:50. | |
first serves doing OK if she can keep dishing them up like that. Got | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
to get out of the habit of just making her second serve in the | :26:55. | :26:55. | |
court. A lovely drop shot from Cornet. Keys | :26:56. | :27:25. | |
doing an excellent job of getting to the drop shot. The anticipation but | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
just couldn't quite reach that last volley. I like the play from Cornet, | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
the drop shot, following it in. Is Cornet isn't careful, this set | :27:35. | :27:53. | |
could run away from her quite quickly. | :27:54. | :28:07. | |
Again another beautiful first serve. Found that location up the T. | :28:08. | :28:36. | |
And then the server out wide, served her well. That helps so much on | :28:37. | :28:43. | |
grass when you are a little tense, having a hard time winning baseline | :28:44. | :28:47. | |
rallies, the ability to get free points on your serve. Not a lot of | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
players on the women's tour have that ability. | :28:52. | :29:04. | |
There was not a lot of power on the forehand from keys. | :29:05. | :29:26. | |
Keys really picking on the Cornet forehand now. Almost every serve | :29:27. | :29:33. | |
going that way in this game now. That's how important that hold is. | :29:34. | :29:49. | |
Races into a 3-0 lead in the decider. | :29:50. | :30:01. | |
We talked about the seesaw nature of the match. And of Madison Keys' | :30:02. | :30:11. | |
encounters. 15 errors from Keys. There were not many winners coming | :30:12. | :30:17. | |
off the racket of Cornet. No, Cornet had one unforced error in that | :30:18. | :30:22. | |
second set. But again, Keys has reset in this third set. Started to | :30:23. | :30:29. | |
play more to her tempo, better serving and when she's playing | :30:30. | :30:32. | |
Herbin there's very little Cornet can do to stay with her but when the | :30:33. | :30:36. | |
unforced errors start to come, hesitation when she is trying to | :30:37. | :30:40. | |
make balls, that's when Cornet is able to win more games. Start to | :30:41. | :30:44. | |
play her style of tennis. She cuts a pretty relaxed figure on | :30:45. | :31:00. | |
court. In comparison to Cornet, who is more animated than many of the | :31:01. | :31:05. | |
women on the tour. Cornet has that ability sometimes to rile the | :31:06. | :31:10. | |
opposition if they allow her to get into their head. | :31:11. | :31:17. | |
You can see dramatics and theatrical reaction from the other side of the | :31:18. | :31:22. | |
court, but it makes for extra good watching for the spectators, for | :31:23. | :31:28. | |
sure, to see a player fired up. She's three behind in this final | :31:29. | :31:30. | |
set. This is a great opportunity for | :31:31. | :31:46. | |
Madison to swing out. She has a nice lead, doesn't want to start playing | :31:47. | :31:51. | |
conservatively now. Play aggressively, big targets, still | :31:52. | :31:52. | |
keeps swinging out. A spot of bother now, Cornet. Still | :31:53. | :32:24. | |
not much warmth in that son, is that? -- in that sun, is there? | :32:25. | :32:43. | |
Well, when it is hit back at your toes like that, you can't do much | :32:44. | :32:50. | |
with it. That should be her target, location, 460-70% of her returns, | :32:51. | :32:54. | |
especially on this surface, when she gets hit at it. The server has very | :32:55. | :33:02. | |
little time to recover and play the next shot. | :33:03. | :33:19. | |
A fitting return of serve to get the break. -- a fizzing. | :33:20. | :33:39. | |
You had the feeling this set could go away from Cornet rapidly, but not | :33:40. | :33:43. | |
this rapidly. Those first two games of the third | :33:44. | :33:54. | |
set were huge. Once Madison was able to hold and get that first break, | :33:55. | :33:59. | |
she relaxed. And she plays her best tennis when she is relaxed and has a | :34:00. | :34:01. | |
bit of a lead. Cornet needed to put some scoreboard | :34:02. | :34:18. | |
pressure on Keys, especially early in this final set. | :34:19. | :34:54. | |
What is she like in the locker room before matches, Madison? She is | :34:55. | :35:05. | |
friendly in the locker room. All of these players, I feel, they feel the | :35:06. | :35:10. | |
pressure and the nerves. Some try to deny it, some you can see it. There | :35:11. | :35:16. | |
is no question, pretty intense, Madison, especially at the slams. | :35:17. | :35:25. | |
Her focus improved tremendously. -- improves. | :35:26. | :35:34. | |
What an angle! After the net cord as well. Yellow might that is too good | :35:35. | :35:44. | |
from Cornet. Madison getting a little unlucky with that forehand | :35:45. | :35:45. | |
there, but excellent feel. Excellent job handling that backhand | :35:46. | :36:04. | |
there. That was a good return from Cornet. A chance to hold for 5-0, | :36:05. | :36:10. | |
then, in this decider. Going for that big winner again. | :36:11. | :36:43. | |
Cornet made an excellent return. That was a good serve, and Cornet | :36:44. | :36:47. | |
managed to get her return back on the baseline. | :36:48. | :37:22. | |
Well played, Cornet. A perfect drop shot. Again, we have seen this play | :37:23. | :37:35. | |
a number of times for Cornet. Once again, pulling out the big | :37:36. | :37:47. | |
first serve when she is facing break point. She is faking really well | :37:48. | :37:54. | |
with her toss. She has gone up the tea so much, she had some space out | :37:55. | :37:58. | |
why. -- up the T. A second chance for Cornet. The | :37:59. | :38:44. | |
noise from Cornet seems to be getting louder as we get towards the | :38:45. | :38:46. | |
business end of this match. A great serve again. We saw her kick | :38:47. | :39:10. | |
the last serve out wide. There, flattening it out, 100 and the live | :39:11. | :39:14. | |
and in miles per hour. It is tough to defend when a player can hit all | :39:15. | :39:17. | |
the servers. -- 111 mph. It is turning into a real struggle | :39:18. | :39:41. | |
to hold this service game. She has got one of those two breaks | :39:42. | :40:11. | |
back. That is fantastic fighting from Cornet. Keys with a couple of | :40:12. | :40:17. | |
points to go up 5-0 in this final set, and Cornet found in nicely. -- | :40:18. | :40:30. | |
Cornet hung in nicely. I wonder how upset Keys will be by the fact that | :40:31. | :40:36. | |
she was fine. Players have short memories with stuff like that, | :40:37. | :40:39. | |
especially something as big as closing matches, closing sets out. | :40:40. | :40:50. | |
That was a Kees second round match against Kirsten Flippin 's. -- Keys. | :40:51. | :41:07. | |
We are into the evening. It is crazy for a second match. We played one | :41:08. | :41:16. | |
hour and three quarters out on court, that is the longest either of | :41:17. | :41:21. | |
these two players have been on court bus far, coming through rounds one | :41:22. | :41:27. | |
and two. Cornet hadn't dropped a set before she encountered Madison Keys. | :41:28. | :41:40. | |
So, Cornet is 4-1 down in this decider. | :41:41. | :42:46. | |
She has got a great serve - right on the line, turning away. One of the | :42:47. | :42:56. | |
best service games Cornet has played in a while. You can bet your bottom | :42:57. | :43:00. | |
dollar that... There is not much that gets by the | :43:01. | :43:12. | |
players in the locker room. Whether it is a shot breaking down, having | :43:13. | :43:20. | |
trouble closing out leads. All of the players have a pretty good | :43:21. | :43:22. | |
handle on -- a pretty good handle on the | :43:23. | :43:31. | |
opposition. Back-to-back games for Alize Cornet. | :43:32. | :43:58. | |
She is wrestling back -- she is wrestling back a bit of this | :43:59. | :44:04. | |
momentum. Keys is still a break up. In her bid to reach the last 16. | :44:05. | :44:09. | |
Simona Halep awaits there, the fifth seed. She looked very good today. | :44:10. | :44:16. | |
She is very confident in this tournament. | :44:17. | :44:33. | |
Oh! Great court coverage, and what a finish. An excellent debt here from | :44:34. | :44:45. | |
Cornet. A tactical error from Cornet. She did not put that volley | :44:46. | :44:50. | |
away and went to one of the best shots in the Keys game. | :44:51. | :45:05. | |
That was a risky overhead, but that first point totally changed the | :45:06. | :45:34. | |
momentum again in this match, and Keys now very confident. | :45:35. | :46:08. | |
The hold of serve puts Keys in a commanding position in the deciding | :46:09. | :46:21. | |
set. Finally, closing in on the line. But how much fight is left in | :46:22. | :46:27. | |
Alize Cornet? That first point of the last game was huge. Cornet had | :46:28. | :46:33. | |
some amends, winning two games in a row. A different story if you're | :46:34. | :46:38. | |
serving 0-15, then hitting a great winner and feeling great about your | :46:39. | :46:42. | |
game again, which Keys was able to do with that first point. Hopefully | :46:43. | :46:54. | |
set for a fine rest of the evening here at Wimbledon. Still perhaps | :46:55. | :47:01. | |
just stretching out where she fell awkwardly on that hip. The screen we | :47:02. | :47:12. | |
heard from her showed how she is frustrated with herself at the | :47:13. | :47:16. | |
moment. She has not really been in this third set, not challenging Keys | :47:17. | :47:24. | |
Ina, having taken it to a decider. -- not challenging Keys Ina. -- Keys | :47:25. | :47:31. | |
enough. Smart play by Cornet, more | :47:32. | :48:55. | |
consistent. She is putting pressure on Keys to try and service match | :48:56. | :48:56. | |
out. -- serve this match out. That was a | :48:57. | :49:14. | |
great shot from out wide, and a better return. | :49:15. | :49:27. | |
That is a fantastic luck, isn't it? Keeping warm in the cold and keeping | :49:28. | :49:33. | |
your eyes in the shade. A struggle for Cornet to close out | :49:34. | :50:00. | |
this service game, giving Keys a sniff. | :50:01. | :50:15. | |
Great down the line. Maybe she won't have to service match out. One of | :50:16. | :50:30. | |
the best point Keys has played. Perfect backhand up the line, great | :50:31. | :50:32. | |
technique. She went for it again, the drop shot | :50:33. | :51:22. | |
that had served her so well. That is just a panic shot. She knew. As soon | :51:23. | :51:27. | |
as the ball left the racket face. That is the pummelling forehand, and | :51:28. | :52:04. | |
that is the first match point for the ninth seed. | :52:05. | :52:38. | |
That will do it! And last year's quarterfinalist is back into the | :52:39. | :52:52. | |
last 16. Taken to a decider, an up and down sort of match in many ways, | :52:53. | :52:57. | |
but Madison Keys, the ninth seed, winning in three. That was huge. | :52:58. | :53:06. | |
Breaking to win the match. Cornet was serving that last game for the- | :53:07. | :53:10. | |
zero, and that is the way to close out a match. If there were any | :53:11. | :53:13. | |
lingering doubts from the match before, they were put to rest there. | :53:14. | :53:18. | |
Up and down, but there were some moments of brilliance from Keys. And | :53:19. | :53:24. | |
she is so excited about this win, and into the second week again. A | :53:25. | :53:33. | |
big smile on her face when she went into the centre of the court to | :53:34. | :53:46. | |
acknowledge the crowd. You feel those big moments that you saw | :53:47. | :53:50. | |
there, Lindsey, bode well for next week. The job doesn't get any easier | :53:51. | :53:56. | |
for Madison. Next up is Simona Halep, who has looked very | :53:57. | :54:03. | |
comfortable most of this week. First you focus on getting to the second | :54:04. | :54:06. | |
week, then you focus on the matches. She played well in the first week. | :54:07. | :54:13. | |
So, Madison Keys is through in three, breaking serve to close out | :54:14. | :54:19. | |
the final set, to win 86-3. It is the end of Wimbledon for Alize | :54:20. | :54:24. | |
Cornet, and Madison Keys is through, winning in sets, 6-4, 5-7 and 6-2 in | :54:25. | :54:28. | |
the decider. Madison, huge congratulations. A few | :54:29. | :54:38. | |
hairy moments in the second set, how easy was it to focus ahead of the | :54:39. | :54:43. | |
third? It wasn't easy but I knew she would play good tennis. I knew I | :54:44. | :54:48. | |
needed to fix some things and maybe be a bit more aggressive. What was | :54:49. | :54:53. | |
amazing was in the third set, as things got tough, you kept your | :54:54. | :54:57. | |
focus and momentum, you seemed to do the footwork and movement was good. | :54:58. | :55:01. | |
How much as the fitness work that you have done been helpful? It is a | :55:02. | :55:09. | |
huge help knowing I can stay out there as long as I need to, but also | :55:10. | :55:12. | |
knowing how much work I have done on my movement makes me more confident. | :55:13. | :55:20. | |
You got into the quarterfinals last year, into the last 16 now, how | :55:21. | :55:25. | |
confident are you? I think I have played more matches this year. I | :55:26. | :55:30. | |
have been more consistent in the last couple of months. It is another | :55:31. | :55:34. | |
tournament, so I am definitely looking forward to my next match. A | :55:35. | :55:39. | |
quick word about that, against Simona Halep. It is a couple of | :55:40. | :55:43. | |
years since you last met. I honestly don't know where it was that the | :55:44. | :55:48. | |
last played. I know I played her one time. It will be a tough match and I | :55:49. | :55:52. | |
am looking forward to it. Many congratulations. Thank you. SUE | :55:53. | :55:58. | |
BARKER: Well done indeed. She has just broken into the world's top ten | :55:59. | :56:03. | |
recently, and now there are three Americans in the top ten. Serena | :56:04. | :56:11. | |
Williams is there. Madison Keys is through. In three sets. A real | :56:12. | :56:21. | |
research is an American tennis with Serena and Venus Williams and | :56:22. | :56:25. | |
Madison Keys at the top of the game. She is through in three sets. This | :56:26. | :56:34. | |
is a player inform, common offer Eastbourne victory, improving that | :56:35. | :56:40. | |
impressive form to win in straight sets, defeating Eugenie Bush are. | :56:41. | :56:45. | |
She was in awesome form when she beat Johanna Konta and we thought | :56:46. | :56:48. | |
she might go forward, but she is really a gutsy performer, Cibulkova. | :56:49. | :56:55. | |
That's what it means her to be into the second week of Wimbledon. The | :56:56. | :56:59. | |
19th seed is through. And David Goffin of Belgium, the 11 seed, also | :57:00. | :57:04. | |
through, defeating Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan. He will go through to | :57:05. | :57:12. | |
face either Milos Raonic or Jack Sock, who are on court at the | :57:13. | :57:20. | |
moment. Over at court nine, we saw this rather testy doubles match | :57:21. | :57:26. | |
between Lake and Hewitt. They are on match point. They broke in the last | :57:27. | :57:31. | |
game and they have been on court for three hours and 57 minutes. It is | :57:32. | :57:42. | |
18-17 in the last set. So, let's just see if Leighton can serve it | :57:43. | :57:57. | |
out. They were given a wildcard after the Australian Open. He | :57:58. | :58:00. | |
thought he fancied playing at Wimbledon so he went in the doubles. | :58:01. | :58:02. | |
Here he is at match point. Oh, no! Leighton will be joining our | :58:03. | :58:22. | |
commentary team next week, that is if he... Unless he stays in the | :58:23. | :58:28. | |
doubles. Let's wait and see. The score is wrong, because it has gone | :58:29. | :58:32. | |
back to deuce. We will stay and see if Leighton can serve it out. | :58:33. | :58:40. | |
Here comes another. He is such a popular player. Look at the crowd. | :58:41. | :58:48. | |
They have been thoroughly enjoying this. The doubles matches were | :58:49. | :58:55. | |
reduced from five sets to three. Who would have thought he would be on | :58:56. | :59:00. | |
court for four hours? Here he is, 18-17, and a chance to close it out | :59:01. | :59:02. | |
yet again. And so they have done it. The crowd | :59:03. | :59:34. | |
rises. This is one of these lately meaning -- late evening doubles | :59:35. | :59:38. | |
matches. Let's see what the handshake is like. They had a bit of | :59:39. | :59:42. | |
trouble earlier in the match, but that look very friendly as well. It | :59:43. | :59:45. | |
is Hewitt and Thomson who go through, 19 hi 3-mac-17 in the third | :59:46. | :59:53. | |
set of top four hours they play, but four hours of great entertainment | :59:54. | :59:57. | |
for everybody out on court nine. Lovely to see late in back on. You | :59:58. | :00:02. | |
see, he can never really retire. He just loves coming back, a great | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
competitor, and he will have thoroughly enjoyed that victory. I'm | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
not sure how people feel tomorrow, though. From one Grand Slam | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
champion, we moved to another, Juan Martin del Potro. He put out Stan | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
Wawrinka in the last round and he looks like he will put out another | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
seed in this round as well. That matches online on the BBC | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
application or Connected Tv. Those are the ways you can watch that | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
matter. -- watch that match. What a day it has been - big shocks, great | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
tennis, and Claire will have all the details at 8:30pm, when we will be | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
discussing Andy Murray, no Novak Djokovic and Petra Kvitova. So much | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
has been happening today. Because of the rain this week, we will have | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
Sunday matches as well. We will be here tomorrow. | :00:56. | :01:06. | |
10,000 people have got their tickets online today. Now we are heading to | :01:07. | :01:18. | |
Centre Court. And we're going to see Milos Raonic 7-6, 4-3 he leads, | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
which will certainly please somebody in our commentary box. John McEnroe. | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
COMMENTATOR: On this dramatic day at Wimbledon, we have a gaping hole in | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
this top section of the draw, shaped like Novak. You just wonder whether | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
Milos Raonic is now perfectly positioned to take advantage. Set | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
and a break to the good against Jack Sock. Absolutely, tremendous | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
opportunity, so do any of the top players. Roger Federer who would | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
have won a slam last year had it not been for Djokovic, suddenly he is | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
believing again. Nishikori. Suddenly they are believing. This car is in | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
that corner of the draw. David Goffin, to his credit, the male | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
version of Agnieszka Radwanska, who takes place so well. Sock had no | :02:19. | :02:32. | |
looks whatsoever. You have come at a good time because Raonic finally had | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
a chance to break, played a strong game. Seems to be psychologically | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
seeping some negativity into Sock's head just having to deal with this. | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
Hasn't got any chance of rhythm, able to be offensive. Raonic | :02:52. | :03:03. | |
handling that ball well. Hitting his serve is extremely hard. He's been | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
up to 140 in this match. He's also mixing things up. Nicely done, | :03:08. | :03:16. | |
there. Sock, to me, almost seems like he's got to guess. I would | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
never encourage that as a coach or as a fan or a friend but right now, | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
it doesn't seem to be going his way. That's the shop that will get back | :03:26. | :03:43. | |
in the match, that forehand. Average speed second serve right now, for | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
the match, average speed first serve 126, average speed second serve 124! | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
That is ridiculous. I think they should tighten up the | :03:56. | :04:11. | |
challenge rules because Sock waits to see, he is not the only one, they | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
all do it. I would do the same thing if I could get away with it. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
Obviously didn't matter, but he waits to see the return is out and | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
then challenges. Guys like Raonic, the other game, looks up to his box | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
and then challenges. Shouldn't allow that either. Time has ticked by as | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
players do that. It should be, if you look up, over. They would need | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
to develop some secret codes, scratching your nose or something. | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
According to my wife I do that too often anyway. Now Raonic | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
challenging. We talked about the pace of second serve. That would be | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
his second double. He's not exactly holding back. Carlos Moya. | :05:00. | :05:11. | |
Sock, all of a sudden he's got a chance. | :05:12. | :05:28. | |
We had to wait an hour and three minutes and 18 games plus a | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
tie-break before we even got our first break point in this match and | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
that was in the last game. But now immediately a chance for Sock to hit | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
back. Makes a good volley. Tentative | :05:44. | :06:19. | |
return by Sock. First of all he just wants to get it in. He was praying | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
that ball would drop a little lower to Raonic. The kick is wicked, even | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
on grass, that was up above his shoulder. That was a pretty good | :06:30. | :06:40. | |
look for Sock, there. Matter of fact, you may not get a better one. | :06:41. | :07:10. | |
Saving a break point in that game. He won that break point at the net, | :07:11. | :07:19. | |
the next two points he was on his way into the net, must be pleased. | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
Very pleased. Extremely intimidating moving forward. We talked a bit | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
already about his skills. I think he's got skills. He's a good volley. | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
Good touch. Like Steve 's drop volley when he can. That was solid | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
-- he likes to use the drop volley, when he can. | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
If you serve that big, why in the world are you sitting back there? | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
Obviously discouraging to Sock, he had that good a look. He is bumming | :07:58. | :08:07. | |
right now, big-time. More indication of his talent, been on the rise for | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
the last few days. Once seen as the future of American tennis, that old | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
tag. Only 23, though. Look at the forehand. Incredible. More width | :08:21. | :08:31. | |
than Nadal. More top-spin than any single player. He plays like a | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
Spanish guy. Wicked spin. And he's more comfortable on clay. Best | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
results have been on clay. The back and has been a liability | :08:40. | :08:57. | |
for Sock. It has improved, but still questionable at times. Especially | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
when he feels the need to go big on it. To me he prefers the slice. Jack | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
Sock's coach for the last couple of years. | :09:11. | :09:26. | |
Got the sweet hands, too, Sock. I noticed that years ago when I played | :09:27. | :09:35. | |
a couple of exhibitions with him in the states. This guy could use this | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
to his advantage. Jack Sock has beaten two decent | :09:39. | :10:01. | |
talents including Ernests Gulbis. Raonic will serve for the second set | :10:02. | :10:17. | |
at 5-4. Sock, couple of years ago, won the doubles here. The belief | :10:18. | :10:26. | |
that that helped him to a great extent, believe he could have great | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
success here in the singles. Understanding the strategies | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
involved, the nuances of the game. I was surprised when I was over at | :10:35. | :10:44. | |
Queen's with my Milos and Sock had quote unquote forgotten to enter | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
Queen's. He's not had much success in the past on the surface. However, | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
you can see that he's got significant ability. Able to do a | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
lot of different things. He has played no match coming into | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
Wimbledon. For him he's at his best ever, never been in the second week | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
of Wimbledon. The sky, Milos Raonic, has only one time, seemingly hard to | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
believe, he hurt his hip and ended up having surgery which set him | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
back. Look at this guy's overall game and serve and amazed he has | :11:19. | :11:19. | |
only been in the second week once. Not sure I would choose to come in | :11:20. | :11:36. | |
on his forehand, first point of the game. I'm sure he would just work it | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
to the backhand of Sock. There he went back and surprised | :11:45. | :12:20. | |
Sock. A gutsy move. After Sock had ripped that forehand last point, you | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
know he's thinking, here comes the backhand. | :12:23. | :12:44. | |
Ooh, wonderful pass from Sock on what was my loss rounded's fastest | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
serve of the tournament. Great credit to Sock to hit the return and | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
then the past. No doubt. Can I conceivably say that was the tough | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
of the two shots, when you are returning a 143 mph serve? Beautiful | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
flick of the risk. The serve has dropped off slightly | :13:07. | :13:21. | |
in this set. Still at about three quarters of his first serves going | :13:22. | :13:22. | |
in. Jack Sock is unleashing his | :13:23. | :14:04. | |
repertoire here. It's great to watch. Forced my loss rounded to hit | :14:05. | :14:13. | |
up and used that forehand, which is pretty lethal -- forced Raonic to | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
hit up. So lethal. Incredibly he has another chance to break here, two | :14:21. | :14:31. | |
games in a row. That was a smart play by Raonic. Got to zero in on | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
opponents weakness. Especially at this critical point. | :14:39. | :15:01. | |
Exactly what happened in the previous Raonic service game, facing | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
a break point, he saved it and Sock didn't get another look in. | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
Raonic brings a set point. Say goodbye to that serve. 7-6, 6-4, two | :15:13. | :15:26. | |
sets to love. STUDIO: To setup and I am still | :15:27. | :15:47. | |
trying to recover from Mac's comment "Darn that Sock". We are going to | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
Court One where Feliciano Lopez, he was a break of serve up but it is | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
now back on serve against Nick Dougherty us. Judy Murray tweeted a | :15:59. | :16:07. | |
few years ago about him being "Deliciano". I wonder whether you | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
agree? Many do in our production office. Over here Jo-Wilfried | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
Tsonga, everybody loves to watch him playing, 4-3 up against the big | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
serving American John Isner. That is available to watch online. Simile | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
big names out in action at the moment late in the evening. | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
Radwanska starting up, she is 3-2 up. All of these matches available | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
online on the website, the BBC sport at and connected TVs. Take your pick | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
of who you would like to see. The former finalist 3-2 up in that match | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
on Court three. Lovely to see Juan Martin Del Potro back and playing | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
what looks like his best tennis again, putting out Stan Wawrinka in | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
his first match. Now he is a set and 5-4 up against Lucas Pouille rule of | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
France. I don't think Richard Gasquet will be loving what's | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
happening out here on Court 18. He dropped the opening set 6-2. He's | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
had the train on court. Now serving for a 4-3 lead in the second. Last | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
year 's semifinalist with work to do out on Court 18. So still the crowds | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
here at Wimbledon and of course remember we will be back here | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
tomorrow for people Sunday as well. We'll be on the air from 11:15am and | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
there's bound to be a wonderful atmosphere here at the championship. | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
So, back we go, and back we go to John and Jonathan. | :17:41. | :18:15. | |
Sock has gone big pretty often on that second serve to try to keep | :18:16. | :18:25. | |
Raonic at bay. Discouraging for Sock. | :18:26. | :18:37. | |
Raonic with the really excellent approach shot, staying very low on | :18:38. | :18:45. | |
Sock. He had a hard time even with the spin that he loves to employ to | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
get it down low. Trying to get it at his feet, just couldn't do it. Cut | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
it off nicely. These guys at least know they are going to finish to | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
night. Stress still happening on the outside courts with some of those | :19:04. | :19:04. | |
third-round matches. All on nothing here for Sock who | :19:05. | :19:44. | |
firmly believes it was out, because he's switching sides. Let's see if | :19:45. | :19:55. | |
he's right because if he isn't its deuce. He is wrong. He rolled the | :19:56. | :20:05. | |
dice. They used titanium pigment now. I have a little experience with | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
chalk flying up. Apparently it doesn't happen that often. | :20:11. | :20:31. | |
That's a spectacular play by Raonic, utilising the slice to the forehand | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
side, surprising him. Looked to be deliberately shorter, here. Really | :20:39. | :20:47. | |
made life difficult for Sock. If he was to lose this point he's going to | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
be severely bumped. Probably the best serve his hit. | :20:51. | :21:05. | |
Definitely some type of chalk flew up. The only issue is whether it was | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
long. It certainly wasn't wide. All this talk about chalk, have you | :21:11. | :21:48. | |
seen Viktor Troicki's knock-down from the other day? I have to take a | :21:49. | :21:56. | |
closer look, I only saw bits of it. I will have to watch start to finish | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
to see if the point stands. Good play from Sock, really nice. No | :22:00. | :22:19. | |
question he was in deep, deep trouble if he were to lose that | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
game. In a number of ways. He's starting to get into some rallies | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
and utilise that forehand and take advantage of that strength, push | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
Raonic around the court. That felt almost like match point. I know it's | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
early but he would have been so discouraged, I think, it would have | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
been hard to recover. This gives him a little pep in his walk right now. | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
A good lesson for young players like that lad watching on, it's easy to | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
switch off mentally, especially after a couple of really tight sets | :22:56. | :23:03. | |
when the odd point hasn't gone away. Sock has remained competitive | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
throughout, and still believes. We watched one of the greatest players | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
that ever lived, you say top five, I would put him close to that category | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
if not already, tap out, check out the second set against Querrey, | :23:18. | :23:27. | |
Djokovic last night. And that maybe cost him the match. How much | :23:28. | :23:35. | |
choosing that is now in these guys minds? I'm sure everybody in the | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
locker room was glued to the set watching that. Exhilarating and | :23:41. | :23:48. | |
stressful at the same times for guys to see this opportunity before their | :23:49. | :23:59. | |
eyes. Raonic, for example, zero and seven against Djokovic. No question | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
it improves his chances. Nicolas Mahut,, regulations to him. | :24:02. | :24:20. | |
He will be playing Sam Querrey. Playing as well or better than he | :24:21. | :24:22. | |
ever has. He was going to be remembered for, | :24:23. | :24:39. | |
and he will be, for the loss, 70-68 in the fifth. He's got the chance to | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
be remembered for something else on the single is called now. That is | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
amazing this late in his career. Querrey's whole career could turn | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
around if he was going to make a big run. It's a strong volley. Doesn't | :24:52. | :25:05. | |
take a whole lot of steps for a guy that big to get close to the net. | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
Got some bad options if you are Sock, it's hard to take a swing at | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
it, you try to block it back, if he moves well, Raonic, he's going to | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
cut it off. Which he's done so far in this match. She's looking | :25:24. | :25:33. | |
relaxed, I'm sure, Judy Murray. Do you know the guy on the left? From | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
the dancing show. Strictly. Ever been approached for that? I could | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
see that. Don't even get people thinking about it. You don't want to | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
see that. Here's what's happening outside around the grounds. Let's | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
take a little look at Wimbledon at 7:55pm. And that is not a bad way to | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
spend your Saturday evening, is it? In the sun, watching some wonderful | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
tennis going on, bit of doubles. Some key singles matches still | :26:07. | :26:17. | |
continuing. There's another American. We are to fit too. Not | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
looking great for Sock at the moment. Isner, Tsonga, guess what, | :26:24. | :26:31. | |
probably a first set tie-break. What a shocking turn of events there! | :26:32. | :26:41. | |
Raonic getting better looks at his return, Sock's generally playing | :26:42. | :26:49. | |
better off the ground. Definitely under the gun, Sock, right now. | :26:50. | :27:00. | |
That's not a good shot. Feeling a lot of pressure. That's what Raonic | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
does to you. Only previous time he slipped to | :27:04. | :27:16. | |
0-30 on his serve, Jack Sock, he lost his serve, that was in the | :27:17. | :27:26. | |
seventh game of the second set. And he was just a little hesitant coming | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
in! That is dead on. I was just thinking he should use his skills at | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
the net and take it to Raonic, he decided to do that, hesitated, then | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
moved forward but couldn't cover that shot, beautiful passing shot. | :27:41. | :28:16. | |
First break two more potentially to come. | :28:17. | :28:57. | |
Ooh. That was a lot more difficult than it looked for Sock, there. It's | :28:58. | :29:09. | |
what Raonic was trying to do, hit it short, spin it away from Sock. He | :29:10. | :29:16. | |
just hustled up and gave it a ride. Uses his wrist on that forehand more | :29:17. | :29:22. | |
than anyone in the game and he needed to, there. Still has to save | :29:23. | :29:33. | |
this one more. See if Raonic attacks this second serve. | :29:34. | :29:48. | |
Certainly could have given that a ride and tensed up. Thinking might | :29:49. | :30:02. | |
be saving that replay for the debrief! | :30:03. | :30:24. | |
It was admirable enthusiasm from Jack Sock, fighting hard, often | :30:25. | :30:30. | |
playing some of his best tennis when his back is against the wall. It is | :30:31. | :30:36. | |
all you can ask from April. -- it is all you can ask from a pro-. | :30:37. | :30:52. | |
Exactly right. His back was against the wall. He has two B disappointed, | :30:53. | :31:04. | |
the way that game was handled at 0-40. They both knew how critical it | :31:05. | :31:14. | |
was. It was seemingly over. Again, that breathed some life into Sock. | :31:15. | :31:19. | |
0-40, that is impressive. Especially in a match like this, a game of | :31:20. | :31:25. | |
chance is that are few and far between. He lost the second set, and | :31:26. | :31:30. | |
it cost him. Here in the third set, he has faced four break points and | :31:31. | :31:40. | |
won them all. That is good. It is good. He is trying to find a way to | :31:41. | :31:44. | |
make himself believe he can do this. His record is good, he has won only | :31:45. | :31:49. | |
one out of eight matches against Routledge. His worst loss out of all | :31:50. | :31:51. | |
of those was here. So, -- one out of eight matches | :31:52. | :32:18. | |
against Brown which -- Raonic. A good time for the English rugby team | :32:19. | :32:33. | |
at the moment. This is a good time for Sock. Raonic has to keep his | :32:34. | :32:36. | |
focus, forget about what happened. It could be a golden opportunity, | :32:37. | :32:44. | |
keep his intensity on his serve. He was guiding it, he wasn't doing much | :32:45. | :32:45. | |
with it. Tell us a bit about what he is like | :32:46. | :33:31. | |
to work with. Here's a fine man, me loss, intelligent. -- he is a fine | :33:32. | :33:45. | |
man, Milos, intelligent. He understands and wants to add more to | :33:46. | :33:52. | |
his game. He has a better comfort level at the net. To me, he clearly | :33:53. | :33:57. | |
could have taken that with two hands. I don't want to be a | :33:58. | :34:01. | |
back-seat driver, but he could have taken it and ripped it. As an | :34:02. | :34:06. | |
opponent, you want to see him guide as many balls as possible. | :34:07. | :34:16. | |
He has a good team around him, works hard on his fitness, his | :34:17. | :34:22. | |
flexibility, his speed. This game is a direct result of | :34:23. | :34:45. | |
losing that 0-40 lead. Just his second double fault of the match. He | :34:46. | :34:53. | |
let it down at 170 miles per are. From 0-40 in the previous game on | :34:54. | :34:58. | |
the Sock serve, now Raonic is facing a break point on his own serve. Is | :34:59. | :35:01. | |
this the start of a Sock fightback? Sock knows that his backhand is not | :35:02. | :35:21. | |
as good as his forehand, so he is expecting a ball out wide. It is | :35:22. | :35:27. | |
impossible for anyone, if you hit your spot as well as Milos did | :35:28. | :35:38. | |
there. There it is again. Sock has got a huge grip change that he | :35:39. | :35:45. | |
employs. It is tough to get full swing on his forehand, too. | :35:46. | :36:00. | |
Clever. A good effort by both guys, really. To hold serve in the service | :36:01. | :36:09. | |
games. Sock, from 0-40. They have both faced break points in | :36:10. | :36:26. | |
three of their last four service games. Which is in stark contrast to | :36:27. | :36:36. | |
the first hour of tennis we saw. That is a huge return. Raonic has a | :36:37. | :36:43. | |
big forehand. It is tough to get the ball out wide on him, he is so tall. | :36:44. | :36:50. | |
Sock thought he hit a pretty good serve. | :36:51. | :37:13. | |
His forehand has got better and better as this match has moved | :37:14. | :37:19. | |
along. He is starting to make an impact with Raonic. | :37:20. | :37:43. | |
It's not a bad play to go up the middle at time against any player, | :37:44. | :37:49. | |
take away their wrangle, and if they don't hit it that cleanly, it allows | :37:50. | :37:57. | |
you to go from your shot. -- take away their angle. He will be | :37:58. | :38:00. | |
extremely disappointed he missed that ball. Puts pressure back on him | :38:01. | :38:03. | |
again. That's good defence by Raonic, a | :38:04. | :38:21. | |
really good effort. I'm surprised Sock doesn't move forward and take | :38:22. | :38:26. | |
some of those balls in the air. Like there. He sees Raonic is slicing a | :38:27. | :38:34. | |
forehand. It gives Raonic again an opportunity to break. | :38:35. | :38:44. | |
Those opportunities that we see, watching a match, we think, come in, | :38:45. | :38:51. | |
come in - is that natural feel, being wary of the threat? I think it | :38:52. | :38:57. | |
is a combination of the both, but you can learn that, too. You slowly | :38:58. | :39:01. | |
try to seep it into your bloodstream. | :39:02. | :39:11. | |
Players hit it so hard, with so much spin, that you become hesitant | :39:12. | :39:16. | |
coming forward. It's understandable. Sock's second serve, by the way, was | :39:17. | :39:49. | |
118. He went for it and it paid off. And he has come through another one. | :39:50. | :40:48. | |
Six break points he has faced and saved in this sector. He is | :40:49. | :40:52. | |
resilient, the American, and he fights on. 3-2. -- in this set. SUE | :40:53. | :41:04. | |
BARKER: With Raonic two set up, we're going to leave us a bit you | :41:05. | :41:07. | |
want to continue, watch on the red button. We will be heading off to | :41:08. | :41:11. | |
watch Nick Kyrgios in a moment. First, there are so much happening, | :41:12. | :41:15. | |
it is very busy here at Wimbledon. Many stars are in action, and you | :41:16. | :41:19. | |
can watch them online because they are available on the app. | :41:20. | :41:29. | |
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is in trouble. You can watch that online. No such | :41:30. | :41:41. | |
problems for Agnieszka Radwanska, the third seed, after coming through | :41:42. | :41:46. | |
that marathon the other day. She is 6-3, 2-1 up in her match on Court | :41:47. | :41:55. | |
three. Again, that is online. Juan Martin del Potro, he put out Stan | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
Wawrinka in the opening round, took the first set in the tie-break but | :42:00. | :42:11. | |
dropped the second to Lucas Pouille of France. That is on Court well. We | :42:12. | :42:17. | |
will be heading over to Court Number One to join the match live in a | :42:18. | :42:21. | |
moment, but Nick Kyrgios has called on the train onto the court because | :42:22. | :42:26. | |
of a nosebleed. This was a moment ago. Anyone who has had this done | :42:27. | :42:33. | |
knows that it is not pleasant. I feel for him, I really do, but the | :42:34. | :42:38. | |
trainer was on court for some time. They resumed play. It obviously did | :42:39. | :42:44. | |
the trick because he has just broken Lopez to go up 5-3. Here he is, | :42:45. | :42:52. | |
serving for the first set. We can join Peter Fleming and John Imber | :42:53. | :42:59. | |
Dale, who can tell is more. At 11am today, looking at all the courts, | :43:00. | :43:03. | |
this was the match that stood out as potentially the Match of the Day. | :43:04. | :43:06. | |
Little will read to know what was going to happen. This match has | :43:07. | :43:14. | |
lived up to its billing and has been fantastic, it really has. The | :43:15. | :43:18. | |
quality from both sides of the net has been incredible. We had a little | :43:19. | :43:25. | |
bit of medical time-out, but he then broke Lopez's server and here years | :43:26. | :43:35. | |
serving for the first set. -- broke Lopez's serve. UR overstating it, | :43:36. | :43:39. | |
there was no controversy unless you want to make it up! -- you are | :43:40. | :43:42. | |
overstating it. A straightforward medical time-out. | :43:43. | :43:55. | |
I mean, it did disrupt the rhythm of the first set. When did you last see | :43:56. | :44:00. | |
a player have a medical time-out for a stuffed nose? | :44:01. | :44:08. | |
That's the way to do it. Nose or no nos. He is one set to the good, Nick | :44:09. | :44:20. | |
Kyrgios. We have had some sensational tennis in this first | :44:21. | :44:24. | |
set, one rally in particular, which Lopez won with a backhand volley at | :44:25. | :44:28. | |
the net. It was just truly marvellous from both sides. So the | :44:29. | :44:43. | |
7- has -- so the almost 8000 people seem to be drifting back from other | :44:44. | :44:48. | |
courts after hearing about the quality of this. Where'd you sit on | :44:49. | :44:54. | |
the potential of Nick Kyrgios to be a world number one? I think he is a | :44:55. | :44:59. | |
strong candidate for that. He has a fewer wrinkles to iron out in terms | :45:00. | :45:04. | |
of his mental approach, but physically he has got it all. As you | :45:05. | :45:09. | |
can see, the stats don't really tell the whole story. Kyrgios clearly, | :45:10. | :45:14. | |
after the first game where he lost his serve, dominated on serve. That, | :45:15. | :45:21. | |
I guess, was the difference, but you know, he is a war rear, Kyrgios. He | :45:22. | :45:31. | |
competes most of the time. From time to time, though, he gets more | :45:32. | :45:36. | |
involved with the things that are going on around him than actually | :45:37. | :45:40. | |
just focusing on the next shot, the next point. But it is what makes him | :45:41. | :45:48. | |
pretty fun to watch. That is going to sell some tickets in the next ten | :45:49. | :45:54. | |
years. The prize for the winner of this is a match in the last 16 | :45:55. | :45:58. | |
against Andy Murray on Monday, and Lopez has been at that stage at | :45:59. | :46:00. | |
Wimbledon six times in the past. He played his first Grand Slam | :46:01. | :46:15. | |
tournament went Kyrgios was just six years old. | :46:16. | :46:20. | |
Peter and I were discussing earlier on in the first set how amazing it | :46:21. | :46:29. | |
is that this is his 59th consecutive Grand Slam tournament. | :46:30. | :46:43. | |
Yeah, what a great athlete he is. To be able to go that long. | :46:44. | :46:55. | |
To go that long and never have a major injury. It is not like his | :46:56. | :47:04. | |
style is really easy. OK, he serves great, winds cheap points off that, | :47:05. | :47:08. | |
but his ground strokes are not that powerful, so he has to do a lot of | :47:09. | :47:15. | |
running during backcourt rallies. How's that? Ha-ha. It is one of the | :47:16. | :47:51. | |
greatest exchanges you will ever see on a tennis court. Kyrgios took the | :47:52. | :47:59. | |
bat, no, he just missed it. But he took it back as if he was going to | :48:00. | :48:06. | |
hit a drop shot, Lopez charged, Kyrgios hit a hard slice, Lopez | :48:07. | :48:14. | |
reacted to it. And the rest in student. -- the rest followed. This | :48:15. | :48:23. | |
match obviously won't finish tonight, which is a shame, but it | :48:24. | :48:27. | |
means that presumably they will be back here on Court One tomorrow. | :48:28. | :48:37. | |
All the people who are here tomorrow are in for an absolute treat. | :48:38. | :49:17. | |
You proved earlier on in the medical time-out is that you are a doctor of | :49:18. | :49:25. | |
medicine. As a doctor of meteorology, do you think they can | :49:26. | :49:34. | |
get this set into night? -- in tonight. | :49:35. | :49:50. | |
Unless this set finishes 6-1 to one player they other -- to one player | :49:51. | :50:00. | |
or the other, I can't see them finishing this tonight. He will be | :50:01. | :50:03. | |
part of the decision. But actually, John, in fact, the | :50:04. | :50:42. | |
first set to 35 minutes. If this one also takes 35 men's, that takes | :50:43. | :50:49. | |
hours to 8:50pm, so they might say, let's give this a shot. It is a | :50:50. | :50:59. | |
spectacular night. The views from Henman Hill looking across London | :51:00. | :51:04. | |
will be magnificent. , With no cloud, they could go to 9:20pm, | :51:05. | :51:11. | |
9:30pm. Remember the Nadal Federer epic? | :51:12. | :51:22. | |
Kyrgios was screaming at himself on the point before that one, now it is | :51:23. | :51:30. | |
Lopez screening. Lopez has been giving verbal to his camp almost | :51:31. | :51:34. | |
nonstop for the last half an hour or so. Yeah, it is almost Murray -esque | :51:35. | :51:41. | |
from the French Open. The work and the slice on some of | :51:42. | :52:16. | |
these shots is a sight to behold, it really is, from both sides. There | :52:17. | :52:22. | |
they are, taking their fair share of abuse. | :52:23. | :52:34. | |
A shout from Kyrgios. Mumbling from Lopez. 1-1. This is like a boxing | :52:35. | :52:47. | |
match, isn't it? Big, heavy blows being traded between a couple of | :52:48. | :52:50. | |
real heavyweights. And yet, just occasionally, the most | :52:51. | :53:02. | |
fantastic field, delicate shots as well. -- the most fantastic feel. | :53:03. | :53:25. | |
I suppose that's when the coaching panel say, but we didn't stick it in | :53:26. | :53:30. | |
the net. You have to say, how much more | :53:31. | :54:05. | |
entertaining and enjoyable is an experience like this, watching these | :54:06. | :54:08. | |
two guys with so much interaction with themselves, the opponent, the | :54:09. | :54:15. | |
crowd? This is fantastic entertainment. Look at Kyrgios now. | :54:16. | :54:52. | |
That was a great return from Kyrgios. Lopez's ventures, by and | :54:53. | :55:03. | |
large, to the net have not been successful. No? His volleying has | :55:04. | :55:13. | |
not been quite as accurate or aggressive as he has needed it to | :55:14. | :55:14. | |
be. Lopez is talking to his coaching | :55:15. | :55:30. | |
team, whether he wins or loses the point. | :55:31. | :55:38. | |
A pretty conclusive service came from the Spaniard. -- service game. | :55:39. | :55:54. | |
Here we have further medical attention for Nick Kyrgios. Is this | :55:55. | :56:05. | |
for his nose again? I can't hear, sadly, on the umpire's microphone | :56:06. | :56:17. | |
what is happening. Well, the doctor came on and | :56:18. | :56:18. | |
then left, did he leave him a spray or something? I don't know what he | :56:19. | :56:24. | |
delivered, if anything. SUE BARKER: We are coming to the end | :56:25. | :56:40. | |
of our transmission on BBC Two, because today at Wimbledon is next. | :56:41. | :56:46. | |
If you want to continue watching this match, you can. It continues | :56:47. | :56:52. | |
online. So, Lopez and Kyrgios, whether they will finish tonight, we | :56:53. | :56:57. | |
just don't know. They will likely be back tomorrow, but that continues | :56:58. | :56:59. | |
online if you want to see this match. Play continues elsewhere, and | :57:00. | :57:07. | |
on the red button at the moment, Milos Raonic up against Jack Sock. | :57:08. | :57:15. | |
Raonic 2-0 in sets. That matches on the red button. -- that match is on | :57:16. | :57:30. | |
the red button. John Isner is up. That is online. I discover -- | :57:31. | :57:39. | |
Agnieszka Radwanska is close. She is up against Siniakova of the Czech | :57:40. | :57:46. | |
Republic. These matches are all online if you want to see them. Juan | :57:47. | :57:54. | |
Martin del Potro is at 1-1 with Lucas Pouille. That might be held | :57:55. | :57:58. | |
off until tomorrow. 3-3 in the third set. And Court 18, Richard Gasquet, | :57:59. | :58:05. | |
last year's semifinals, he is back in it. He has taken the second set | :58:06. | :58:13. | |
on the tie-break, so 1-1 in sets in that match. A busy day here, and | :58:14. | :58:18. | |
