Middle Sunday, Part 2

:00:26. > :00:35.Three times in 139 years, these loans have witnessed something

:00:36. > :00:41.magical. Now, it is happening again. This is Wimbledon, but different.

:00:42. > :00:49.Today, we open on the middle Sunday for the first time in history. They

:00:50. > :00:55.come from far and wide for a chance, a special chance, to claim a seat at

:00:56. > :01:03.this hallowed ground. Are you mad? Yes. There is something in the air

:01:04. > :01:08.that makes the old feel young and sprinkles stardust on the great and

:01:09. > :01:13.good. It is a day of Magic, a time to celebrate. This is people's

:01:14. > :01:54.Sunday. Welcomer to the All-England Club

:01:55. > :01:58.which is hosting 22,000 tennis fans can only buy their tickets yesterday

:01:59. > :02:03.afternoon. There has been no overnight queueing with tickets sold

:02:04. > :02:08.online. Many fans were at your early because it was a first,, first

:02:09. > :02:12.served basis for seat allocation on the show courts. There aren't too

:02:13. > :02:17.many people on the outside courts because there are only 4000 ground

:02:18. > :02:20.passes offered for sale. This is only the fourth time there has been

:02:21. > :02:26.played on this middle Sunday so it is all about catching up. Good

:02:27. > :02:33.afternoon. This first week of rain has meant we are behind. There are

:02:34. > :02:36.still 12 third round matches in the championships. Hopefully, by the end

:02:37. > :02:42.of the day, weather permitting, we will be back on track. Of those

:02:43. > :02:46.singles matches that have to be completed to get to the fourth

:02:47. > :02:53.round. Serena Williams is on Centre Court at the moment against

:02:54. > :02:58.anti-Quebec. Following on, the 19-year-old everyone is talking

:02:59. > :03:04.about taking on Tomas Berdych. Over on Court number one, Sloan Stevens

:03:05. > :03:14.just one game away from defeating her opponent. Following on, a match

:03:15. > :03:24.that needs to be completed. Kyrgios and Lopez, two of the big servers.

:03:25. > :03:26.Other matches will be following. John Isner is on court at the

:03:27. > :03:47.moment. Del Potro is leading in his match

:03:48. > :03:51.when they resume. The first week has been all about the weather, apart

:03:52. > :03:55.from the first day, we have had rain showers every day. That is why we

:03:56. > :04:02.are here. Let's find out what is in prospect for the coming week. It has

:04:03. > :04:06.been so far so good. More like summer out there. The top of my head

:04:07. > :04:11.has had a little too much sun already. Have a look at the radar

:04:12. > :04:15.picture. There have been like showers not too far away. There is

:04:16. > :04:19.still a risk but a good chance we will have a completely dry day

:04:20. > :04:25.today. It is a bit warmer than yesterday so we are looking at 21 or

:04:26. > :04:27.22 degrees. If you are coming along to Wimbledon tomorrow, it looks like

:04:28. > :04:34.it should be dry as well. The room looks like it will stay away. Warmer

:04:35. > :04:37.than today. It turns quite muddy. It looks like the second week of

:04:38. > :04:43.Wimbledon will be much, much drier than the first week. That is good

:04:44. > :04:48.news for everybody. Thank you very much. Thank you. We will be going to

:04:49. > :04:52.live tennis in a moment but they got underway at half 11 here on Sunday

:04:53. > :04:58.and we have a couple of results. First, from centre court. The big

:04:59. > :05:17.power player from the United States, she has put out Roberto Vinci 6-3,

:05:18. > :05:23.6-4. She is through tomorrow to face the Russian he came 36-3, 6-2.

:05:24. > :05:33.Celebrating her birthday today. She is 25. What a lovely present, in

:05:34. > :05:41.straight sets victory out on court. This much is on the red button on

:05:42. > :05:45.Court one. Sloan Stevens was just serving but she has been broken why

:05:46. > :05:51.her experienced Russian opponent. If you want to follow that much, it is

:05:52. > :05:55.on the red button. Over on Court two, we will be joining this one

:05:56. > :06:02.shortly on BBC Two. John Isner against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Isner

:06:03. > :06:08.won the first two sets yesterday and Tsonga won the third. Tsonga has

:06:09. > :06:16.been dominating today. At the moment it is one set all in the fifth and

:06:17. > :06:20.final match. Here we are heading the centre court to see Serena Williams.

:06:21. > :06:26.She was an early break of serve down but she has come back strongly. She

:06:27. > :06:27.has taken the set 6-3 and has a break of serve against her opponent,

:06:28. > :06:56.back. This match as been a nervous show so

:06:57. > :07:03.far. To be on the end of the power play from Serena Williams too much

:07:04. > :07:09.of the time is tough. It does feel this is too tall of a task for an

:07:10. > :07:17.Echo back today. Serena doesn't even look like she has even been pushed.

:07:18. > :07:24.In the early stages of the first set, Serena had a couple of mistakes

:07:25. > :07:45.that helped her opponent get on board.

:07:46. > :07:53.For Grand Slams championships each year, this is the third, after the

:07:54. > :08:06.French with the US open this summer in New York. Serena has won 299

:08:07. > :08:16.matches in grand slam. You can't only win seven return which she has

:08:17. > :08:26.done plenty of times, 21 times. -- seven in one tournament. That has

:08:27. > :08:35.been one of the big stories last year in tennis. Serena Carter 21st,

:08:36. > :08:44.wondering when she would get 22 to tie with Steffi Graf. -- Serena got

:08:45. > :09:13.her 21st. How come she has only played five

:09:14. > :09:21.tournaments and non-last year after the US open and the disappointment

:09:22. > :09:25.of that semifinal loss? After losing to Roberto Vinci, two matches short

:09:26. > :09:40.of a calendar grand slam, it took so much out of Serena. Just the focus

:09:41. > :09:45.of trying to win the grand slam. It was more under the radar when Steffi

:09:46. > :09:53.accomplished that. Serena was fatigued and didn't play another

:09:54. > :10:00.tournament until January. She was fatigued more mentally and

:10:01. > :10:22.emotionally and physically. Mentally and emotionally than physically.

:10:23. > :10:26.That would knock you over. One thing to remember is that Serena has

:10:27. > :10:32.playing consistently for four years, whereas before that it was off and

:10:33. > :11:04.on the tour. Some of those breaks are white she has lasted to 34.

:11:05. > :11:28.A very happy Serena Williams to use the slice backhand. Sure it has such

:11:29. > :11:31.control of this much that she feels she can experiment and take some

:11:32. > :11:41.enjoyment out of trying something a bit different. What does she do when

:11:42. > :11:46.she takes these months after? Does she go on talk shows, do anything

:11:47. > :11:54.like that? She is such a big star in the US. She has so many passions.

:11:55. > :11:58.She was in a Beyonce video, dancing very well. She has a clothing line

:11:59. > :12:09.that she excels on home shopping networks. She makes appearances. She

:12:10. > :12:16.is always on social media. I think she just needed to recharge your

:12:17. > :12:22.batteries and start fresh in 2016. At 34 she realises she has two extra

:12:23. > :12:27.tournaments. She doesn't need a lot to need up to tournaments and she

:12:28. > :12:32.played in Australia and got to the finals there. Didn't play any warm

:12:33. > :12:44.up tournaments. She hasn't played a tournament in about three and a half

:12:45. > :13:31.months. She is cutting down her schedule and trying to stay fresh.

:13:32. > :13:42.After long second round and explored first week because of so much rain,

:13:43. > :13:56.this is a good match for Serena to have today. It isn't pushing her too

:13:57. > :14:03.much physically. Playing doubles yesterday helped. It was a fantastic

:14:04. > :14:11.match. So many people trying to get onto that court. It was great

:14:12. > :14:25.entertainment. It was Venus Williams, her sister,

:14:26. > :14:31.who brought the name Williams to global attention and outside of the

:14:32. > :14:34.sport. The 1997 US open, 17 years old and she got to the final.

:14:35. > :14:58.Wonderful to see. It is an amazing story. There was a

:14:59. > :14:59.film about her. A film came out about Serena in the last couple of

:15:00. > :15:18.months. She was actually a part of,

:15:19. > :15:30.following her year last year, on tour. That is unlucky, Alnwick are

:15:31. > :15:36.back. -- Annika Beck. Annika, getting a little beat up on court

:15:37. > :15:37.today. A former junior champion. Solidly in the top 50, but

:15:38. > :16:09.outmatched at the moment. Actually, an extremely talented and

:16:10. > :16:17.well conditioned athlete herself, Annika Beck, but just 2% short in

:16:18. > :16:20.every area. She does not look like five foot seven. Not enough heft

:16:21. > :16:47.behind her shots. Again, that is good work from the

:16:48. > :16:56.German, to make Williams play the extra ball. But she did, and she put

:16:57. > :17:14.it away. She is just reacting today. It is tough. Too good.

:17:15. > :17:20.It may be people Sunday, but we are going to need some more tennis at

:17:21. > :17:25.some point. The first couple of matches have gone quite quickly. The

:17:26. > :17:29.two women's matches. There is meant's managed follow. I hope there

:17:30. > :17:34.is plenty of tennis left over for the crowd. They love being here. The

:17:35. > :17:41.first time since 2004 that we have had this middle Sunday. It is the

:17:42. > :17:55.best day of weather as well. Beautiful. I saw somebody putting on

:17:56. > :18:02.suncream. Lovely stuff. Serena Williams getting on the front foot

:18:03. > :18:08.really quickly. I have to say hello to someone. I cannot find them.

:18:09. > :18:13.Stacey is here today. She has had a really hard time. She has had a

:18:14. > :18:18.double lung and heart transplant. As you can imagine, she has been

:18:19. > :18:22.through lots. She is in here somewhere, and I said I would say

:18:23. > :18:26.hello. Good luck, I hope you're enjoying it and this is a member. A

:18:27. > :19:58.great story, Stacey. UMPIRE: Game, set and match. It is

:19:59. > :20:05.her 300th match victory in grand champion spirit -- grand slam

:20:06. > :20:11.champion chips for Serena Williams. She advances into the second week. A

:20:12. > :20:24.good tournament, Annika Beck. Serena, saluted by the crowd. That

:20:25. > :20:35.breaks the tie with the great Chris Evert on 299 victories. Next on

:20:36. > :20:40.target, Martina Navratilova. Serena will not be able to break that

:20:41. > :20:51.record here. Serena progress from Serena. A good tournament from

:20:52. > :20:55.Annika Beck, into the third round at Wimbledon for the first time,

:20:56. > :21:00.following her fourth round at the French Open champion chips. Her

:21:01. > :21:04.progress continues. She will take much from this, but the sheer

:21:05. > :21:05.presence as well as the game of Serena Williams give her too much to

:21:06. > :21:25.do. Much has been made of Novak Djokovic

:21:26. > :21:30.Jonny May and's side holding all four grand slams at the same time.

:21:31. > :21:36.Serena has done it on two occasions, one of the great achievements, three

:21:37. > :21:41.Olympic golds, she won on this playmaker -- court, London 2012 as

:21:42. > :21:52.well. Two Serena slams that she talks about. That means a lot to

:21:53. > :22:01.her. A special that is. She was two matches shy of a calendar year grand

:22:02. > :22:12.slam last year. She is number one in the women's gay man she continues to

:22:13. > :22:17.break records. In the absence of Maria Sharapova, and we will see

:22:18. > :22:23.what happens with that situation. Victoria Azarenka is missing as

:22:24. > :22:33.well. She is by far the favourite to win this tournament. A meant's match

:22:34. > :22:39.will come onto this tournament now. We will see Tomas Berdych playing

:22:40. > :22:46.against Alexander Zverev. Serena Williams advances. Less than one

:22:47. > :22:50.hour in court. 6-3, 6-0. Serena Williams talking to Gary Richardson.

:22:51. > :22:56.Congratulations on a great performance. What is your

:22:57. > :23:00.assessment? I thought it was good. I want to get a faster start but I was

:23:01. > :23:04.focused and composed today. What was it like on Centre Court on Sunday.

:23:05. > :23:08.You have done more with things at Wimbledon but you have never played

:23:09. > :23:15.on a Sunday? Even though you were here the last time. Yes, I was here,

:23:16. > :23:18.but I have never played. It was nice. I'll having the Sunday off but

:23:19. > :23:22.I am behind in my matches so I guess I had to play an extra day.

:23:23. > :23:28.Hopefully you will not have to play on Monday. You have done Monday,

:23:29. > :23:32.haven't you? Yes, I have done a third Monday before. Hopefully it

:23:33. > :23:38.will end on the Sunday this year. Did you know that was years 300

:23:39. > :23:43.career grand slam victory? Was it? I did not know. That is awesome. That

:23:44. > :23:50.is a lot of matches. That is a lot of victories at Wimbledon. Thank you

:23:51. > :23:55.very much. Serena, that is more than awesome. An incredible record she

:23:56. > :23:59.has. She still wants to compete. She loves playing the game, putting in

:24:00. > :24:05.the training at the age of 34, one of the greatest champions, if not

:24:06. > :24:08.the greatest champion of all time. Certainly the greatest server that

:24:09. > :24:13.we have seen. Serena Williams is through to the fourth round again.

:24:14. > :24:18.Much easier pass-through than her last match, where she was taking the

:24:19. > :24:25.distance. Serena Williams marching at Wimbledon. Let's get further

:24:26. > :24:32.reaction from our commentators, Tracy Austin and Andrew Castle.

:24:33. > :24:38.Tracy, that was very impressive, more of the Serena of old?

:24:39. > :24:41.Absolutely. Very comprehensive. She did not get a lot from Annika Beck.

:24:42. > :24:47.She does not have the weapons or the power. Even in the second round

:24:48. > :24:53.against Christina McHale, she pushed Serena Williams much bigger serve.

:24:54. > :24:57.More power, both wings. Today it seemed that Serena did not even seem

:24:58. > :25:02.to need to get into third gear. She was cruising. She is building away

:25:03. > :25:08.into the tournament like we have seen her done so many times. With

:25:09. > :25:11.all the catching up and the Long she had against Christina McHale, she

:25:12. > :25:17.will be happy to have this one out of the way in under 60 minutes? The

:25:18. > :25:21.only time she loses as when she makes mistakes, unless someone plays

:25:22. > :25:24.the match of their life. She made some mistakes, but the match against

:25:25. > :25:30.Christina McHale has sharpened her up. No fuss for Serena. Going

:25:31. > :25:34.forward, it is hard to see someone beating if she cuts down the

:25:35. > :25:39.mistakes. She is able to get the first strike in so often against the

:25:40. > :25:43.many different types of player. When she is up in the rally, when she's

:25:44. > :25:49.seeing it well, it is very hard to make inroads. It must be lovely,

:25:50. > :25:53.going out on court, knowing that you're the person who is dictating

:25:54. > :25:59.who is going to win. She needs to have a big of day. You need to have

:26:00. > :26:03.weapons to get her on the back foot somehow? Yes, and play the match of

:26:04. > :26:08.your life. We have seen last year, and at the US Open, where nerves

:26:09. > :26:14.show up. I do not know if that is her being 34, the end of her career,

:26:15. > :26:18.she is not retiring, but she must be somewhere close. She is trying to

:26:19. > :26:24.choose the record of Steffi Graf, to get to 22. She played a nervous

:26:25. > :26:28.match against Roberta Vinci last year in the semifinals of the US

:26:29. > :26:33.Open. A little bit on a still you might as well. There were some

:26:34. > :26:38.points were Serena backed away at the French against Garbine Muguruza.

:26:39. > :26:44.Maybe at Wimbledon she will get her 22nd. She feels so comfortable on

:26:45. > :26:47.the grass. So few other players really feel at their best. Not only

:26:48. > :26:54.because it is such an awkward surface to play and move on. 50% of

:26:55. > :26:58.competing on the surfaces inside the mind and making sure you feel

:26:59. > :27:05.confident. I cannot believe she did not know the record she got. So

:27:06. > :27:11.many. 300. That is amazing. Martina Navratilova will be the next one to

:27:12. > :27:14.fall. Players think about records. It would not surprise anyone in the

:27:15. > :27:20.game of Serena is considered the greatest in the game. Her serve is

:27:21. > :27:25.the best I have ever seen. Absolutely, no doubt. The power, the

:27:26. > :27:30.placement in all four corners. Being able to come up with a big serve

:27:31. > :27:34.when it counts. Her second serve is underrated and not talked about

:27:35. > :27:40.enough. Thank you. Serena Williams is through, but who will she played?

:27:41. > :27:44.She will play the winner of the match on Court one between Sloane

:27:45. > :27:51.Stephens and Svetlana Kuznetsova. This is tight. We will join it at

:27:52. > :27:52.6-6 in the third and final set. Our commentators are Lindsay Davenport

:27:53. > :28:04.and Jonathan over end. That looked a little weedy, that

:28:05. > :28:08.forehand from Stevens. She definitely does not look as

:28:09. > :28:27.confident order as sure as herself as she did earlier in the set.

:28:28. > :28:35.You sense a big chance Merthyr Kuznetsov. There is a massive

:28:36. > :28:39.discrepancy in the pace of the shots from both players. Sloane has

:28:40. > :28:53.stopped swinging. Kuznetsova is looking to make things happen.

:28:54. > :29:09.Look at this. Look at this. 0- 40 on the Stephen serve. She was so close

:29:10. > :29:38.to victory. Now, a break point down. Why did Kuznetsova go for that shot?

:29:39. > :30:06.Someone in the crowd just yelled out, do not do that again.

:30:07. > :30:33.The Russian has completely flipped this final set. She is now about to

:30:34. > :30:37.serve for the match. She is no stranger to log matches. She put one

:30:38. > :30:48.in the Austrian open five and a half years ago. It launched the record

:30:49. > :31:08.for the longest match. 16-14 in the final set.

:31:09. > :31:17.What should Stevens do now? Should she try something different? It is

:31:18. > :31:23.all in head. She will have to muster up a lot of positive energy here.

:31:24. > :31:28.All of a suddenly she stopped going forward, she froze in the moment.

:31:29. > :32:32.Maybe now she will get more relaxed and play some offensive tennis.

:32:33. > :32:42.Just her second double fault of the Long March. Pressure. Pressure. -- a

:32:43. > :33:19.long match. Good shot. Not a bad idea from

:33:20. > :33:24.Stevens to put the pressure on but that approach weight to in the

:33:25. > :33:31.middle of the court. A nice on that backhand.

:33:32. > :33:58.Stevens has been to points away from victory.

:33:59. > :34:03.Though, it is edge of the seat stuff. It is always of the highest

:34:04. > :35:02.quality. This is tense. It is tight. Stevens has done very well there.

:35:03. > :35:10.Butterflies will have been fluttering all around that volley.

:35:11. > :35:25.And that backhand pass. Break back point.

:35:26. > :35:29.The line judge has called it out. The umpire backing up what a line

:35:30. > :35:45.judge has called. So surprised she did not challenge

:35:46. > :36:20.that. There are isn't just tension in the

:36:21. > :36:23.strings of the rackets, it is in the players too. Finally, after two

:36:24. > :36:31.hours and 28 minutes we reach match point. The match point falls to the

:36:32. > :37:15.Russian, Kuznetsova. That is the match. That is the

:37:16. > :37:17.match. Kuznetsova has come back in the final set to win it in two and a

:37:18. > :37:33.half hours. Really nice to see the embrace

:37:34. > :37:44.between the two of them. That was quite a battle. Really good friends

:37:45. > :37:48.on the tour and an important victory for Svetlana Kuznetsova. She will

:37:49. > :37:52.face Serena Williams, the number one seed tomorrow. Heading off to quite

:37:53. > :37:58.want in a moment but first, news about Del Potro is out of the

:37:59. > :38:08.tournament, losing to the 32nd seed and losing this fourth set 6-1. This

:38:09. > :38:12.match was held over from yesterday. Del Potro and stand Wawrinka. Maybe

:38:13. > :38:16.too much tennis for him. He has played three days in a row and has

:38:17. > :38:25.missed so many grand slams, and in total but it is good to see him back

:38:26. > :38:30.on the world stage. Over on Court number two, this is a battle. John

:38:31. > :38:40.is now, 6-5 up in the fifth and final set against Tsonga. You can

:38:41. > :38:46.see this match live. Now we are going to see an attractive match,

:38:47. > :38:50.Lopez up against Nick Kyrgios, two of the big servers, two great

:38:51. > :39:01.entertainers. They were on Court yesterday. Let's have a look at some

:39:02. > :39:10.of the key moments from yesterday. This has the makings of a really

:39:11. > :39:17.interesting contest. What a rally. What a rally. That might be the best

:39:18. > :39:27.point he has played this week. That stuff is nasty. Brilliant. Brilliant

:39:28. > :39:39.from Kyrgios. Look at that celebration.

:39:40. > :39:54.That was one of the great exchanges you will ever see on a tennis court.

:39:55. > :40:00.Look at that reaction. There is going to be a huge roar here if

:40:01. > :40:10.Lopez wins this point. And he does. The Wii play on? No, we are done.

:40:11. > :40:14.There are really were some lovely moments in that match yesterday.

:40:15. > :40:18.Kyrgios suffering from a nose bleed through that first set but he is

:40:19. > :40:24.back and Kyrgios reached the third round of the Australian and French

:40:25. > :40:26.opens, can he go one better, 1-1 against the left-hander from Spain

:40:27. > :40:31.who has reached the quarterfinals here three times. It is the grand

:40:32. > :40:40.slam he has had his best results at. In the commentary box it is John

:40:41. > :40:45.Lloyd. This is the match because of the cast you have just been alluding

:40:46. > :40:51.to. We have the veteran gladiatorial, dashing Spaniard and

:40:52. > :40:56.the dastardly Brilliant terror of the men's game. By the nature of the

:40:57. > :41:00.crowd, many of whom have never been to Wimbledon, just taking a straw

:41:01. > :41:04.poll, so excited to see these two people, just by the nature of their

:41:05. > :41:13.personalities, their charisma, there looks as well and what they bring to

:41:14. > :41:21.the gym. There is a real pottable sense of excitement. Absolutely. You

:41:22. > :41:23.have two great shot makers and two great characters, especially the one

:41:24. > :41:39.who will serve now. You'd never know what he will do.

:41:40. > :42:00.That is the slowest he will ever serve in the match.

:42:01. > :42:09.Never a dull moment. A couple of days ago he said, mate, we are on a

:42:10. > :42:28.stage. We are actors. He sure is. It is going to be interesting to see

:42:29. > :42:38.whose side the crowd is on because it is a very different crowd from

:42:39. > :42:44.last night. Because there were one or two who were touting a bit at

:42:45. > :42:47.what Kyrgios was doing. This is a different crowd watching. A lot less

:42:48. > :43:08.touting. The 16th ace of the match for

:43:09. > :44:05.Kyrgios. Two huge servers here, but they also provide great rallies.

:44:06. > :44:15.Kyrgios lands the first blow on the second day. Use from that montage

:44:16. > :44:18.that we had the match resumed that there was one point yesterday when

:44:19. > :44:23.they were laughing at each other in the middle of a rally in the court,

:44:24. > :44:33.which was fantastic. The atmosphere and the only answer between these

:44:34. > :44:38.two and the umpire, Pascal. I have to say, that is Lopez saying, you

:44:39. > :44:41.have got to do that slightly more regulation fashion. That was before

:44:42. > :45:42.we began. One of the best of all yours on the

:45:43. > :45:45.tour, Feliciano Lopez. One of the best slice back and approaches as

:45:46. > :45:52.well, which enables him to get setup for those of volleys. -- one of the

:45:53. > :46:04.best players at playing volleys on the tour.

:46:05. > :46:21.Worth seeing about Lopez going into the net, he actually lost the point

:46:22. > :46:33.on the first six occasions he did that yesterday. I presume it did not

:46:34. > :46:42.keep him from coming, though. No, he kept coming.

:46:43. > :46:50.Never mind the slice and the volley, this is one of the great service

:46:51. > :46:59.actions. It is just fantastic. He snatched at this one. Typical of the

:47:00. > :47:05.big servers. They do not serve as many aces as real heavy hitters, but

:47:06. > :47:11.it is such a relaxed motion. You know he can serve for eight hours a

:47:12. > :47:34.day and not get tired. There is no effort involved.

:47:35. > :47:41.There is some serious grunting going on already. Just two game, the

:47:42. > :47:48.sequel to the blockbuster from last night. I am saying what a fantastic

:47:49. > :47:52.service action that is. The game we were talking about last night, it

:47:53. > :47:59.does bear repetition. This is the 39th consecutive grand slam, sorry,

:48:00. > :48:02.the 59th grand slam that Lopez has played in. It means he is second

:48:03. > :48:24.only behind Roger Federer. That is an extraordinary testament

:48:25. > :48:29.to the way he has looked after himself. A bit of luck as well, that

:48:30. > :48:38.he has not been injured, that it is an amazing achievement. 14 and a

:48:39. > :48:44.half years or so. He does not do that very often, serve- volley. Just

:48:45. > :49:08.throwing in a little surprise. He spotted it.

:49:09. > :49:17.One thing you will see, Lopez already looking up at his box. He

:49:18. > :49:22.will be taking as much time as he can between points, to try and get

:49:23. > :49:50.the Kyrgios rhythm out of sorts. The interaction between the players

:49:51. > :50:00.and their boxes was extraordinary last night. Lopez, for some peculiar

:50:01. > :50:04.reason, and Peter Fleming, he was in your seat yesterday, he could not

:50:05. > :50:11.understand why it Lopez was berating his box, whether he won or lost the

:50:12. > :50:16.point, between every point. Kyrgios was sometimes sullen and sometimes

:50:17. > :50:21.manic. I do not know if both boxes have had enough. They have actually

:50:22. > :50:26.swap today. Perhaps they are hoping that the players have not noticed.

:50:27. > :50:32.What are you shouting at me for? Lopez has already started. I would

:50:33. > :50:38.love to your what he says. It is in Spanish, so I would not understand.

:50:39. > :50:43.Is he saying he has missed three or four balls, it is his fault. Is he

:50:44. > :50:49.saying they have worked on the wrong things? It is his fault. They have

:50:50. > :50:54.just started the match and he has given them look silly or four times.

:50:55. > :51:01.It is amazing. A lot more than it used to be, constant licking. And

:51:02. > :51:07.the women's tour, even more so. They are allowed to have coaches on other

:51:08. > :51:11.than at the grand slams. These are two of the biggest servers. One of

:51:12. > :51:19.the key factors may be the first service percentage that these guys

:51:20. > :51:23.manage in the outcome of the game. For Lopez, it is only 55%. For

:51:24. > :51:43.Kyrgios, it is more than 80%. That was extraordinary. That was a

:51:44. > :51:46.perfectly good second serve that Kyrgios put into the net, and Lopez

:51:47. > :52:27.glowers at his box. That is his second one already

:52:28. > :52:34.today. Is that the extreme grip that cause is that? Yes. Lots of the

:52:35. > :52:43.spectators are saying, I do that now and again.

:52:44. > :52:59.We are rushing through these third set. -- the third set.

:53:00. > :53:06.On average, three minutes per game, but actually, Kyrgios won a game of

:53:07. > :53:22.38 seconds on Wednesday. He had to be careful there, didn't

:53:23. > :53:47.he? Yes, he had to put the brakes on.

:53:48. > :54:00.He did not need to do that. That was showboating. It makes him fun to

:54:01. > :54:11.watch. The problem is, he could do that at 4-4, 30-30, and lose the set

:54:12. > :54:15.because of it. He could have run around that. Of course heated. He

:54:16. > :54:25.could have put up a lob, and at least he would have been in the

:54:26. > :54:35.point. Well, Lopez charging the net. He could have been up 30-0, perhaps,

:54:36. > :54:38.I know he is down, 15-30. He gave himself not much of a chance of

:54:39. > :54:48.making that one between his legs, but it is great to watch.

:54:49. > :55:18.I know it seems ridiculous to say that there are 130 mph service, and

:55:19. > :55:23.there are 130 mph service, but it seems so much heavier. There is so

:55:24. > :55:30.much weight behind the ball. I agree. We saw it there. That was a

:55:31. > :55:34.big point, and he served 116 mph on the second serve, about half an inch

:55:35. > :55:57.from the line. He has total faith in his delivery.

:55:58. > :56:09.126 mph, right on the service line. No sign of a break of serve so far.

:56:10. > :56:14.It is so extraordinary, Kyrgios, the speed that he takes between points.

:56:15. > :56:18.I was trying to think back, have I ever seen anybody who is that quick,

:56:19. > :56:25.that does not give themselves any time to adjust after playing a bad

:56:26. > :56:31.point, or a good point? The only one I can think of is in the women's

:56:32. > :56:36.game, Steffi Graf. She was like lightning. It did not do her much

:56:37. > :56:42.harm. It is a different thing for different people. Normally, after

:56:43. > :56:46.you play a couple of bad points, you like to settle, readjust, let your

:56:47. > :56:51.opponent think about it, but he just gets on with it. If you spend too

:56:52. > :56:56.long over a five foot putt-mac, you're more likely to miss because

:56:57. > :57:07.you keep looking for borrowers and the green that are not there. If you

:57:08. > :57:11.take between ten or 20 seconds and a grand slam, on every point, that is

:57:12. > :57:15.a long time to start thinking about this and the other, what if you just

:57:16. > :57:20.get on with it, you just get on with it. That is another argument. You do

:57:21. > :57:31.not see it that quick, but it has worked for him pretty well so far.

:57:32. > :57:36.There is a groan from Kyrgios, because he knew the was not going to

:57:37. > :57:41.get there. You would have thought he would have had enough practice and

:57:42. > :57:46.is in the previous round, against Dustin Brown. Kyrgios must have had

:57:47. > :57:49.about 20 drop volleys coming towards him and he hardly made any of them.

:57:50. > :57:56.You would think he would be more aware of that. Lopez's touch

:57:57. > :58:18.deserted him on that half volley. My word. He hit it straight into the

:58:19. > :58:23.ground and it went straight into his chin.

:58:24. > :58:39.Goodness me. Hate it little bit harder please! -- hit it. This was

:58:40. > :58:47.the serve. It goes straight up into his chin, or not content with that,

:58:48. > :58:48.he blitzed that winner past Lopez. This is the first semi chance in the

:58:49. > :59:25.third set. He has done it again. That felt like

:59:26. > :59:32.a massive point from the moment Lopez served. It might turn out to

:59:33. > :59:37.be very important. Lopez looked at his camp after this. He played

:59:38. > :59:45.almost the perfect point. It was a wonderful approach shot. Sometimes

:59:46. > :59:53.you just have to say, to did. Two break points.

:59:54. > :00:06.-- too good. And a look at a second serve for Kyrgios.

:00:07. > :00:14.Yes, he will be disappointed with that. It was a good second serve,

:00:15. > :00:19.but Lopez was not coming in. He had enough time to get the ball back

:00:20. > :00:21.into play decently, and second serve, break point, he needs to take

:00:22. > :00:36.advantage of that. That is the way to save a break

:00:37. > :01:07.point. It is Lopez compared to 18 for Kyrgios. Make that nine.

:01:08. > :01:20.Lopez was in real father there. -- bother. He served himself out of it.

:01:21. > :01:25.Kyrgios's match against Brown which was five sets, the longest rally in

:01:26. > :01:32.that match was six shots. It was ridiculous. We have had some

:01:33. > :01:33.tremendous, cat and mouse rallies in this match. This might be another

:01:34. > :02:30.one. What a rally. Lopez just overcooked

:02:31. > :02:43.it. He is challenging the call, but I think he knows. I think he just

:02:44. > :02:48.wants to get his breath back. Kyrgios with his tongue hanging out,

:02:49. > :02:59.panting. I think he was happy there was a challenge. You may breathe at

:03:00. > :03:04.home, after that. Having just said the longest rally against Dustin

:03:05. > :03:40.Brown was six shots, that one was 35.

:03:41. > :03:47.The thing is, we had such a fantastic exhibition of backgrounds

:03:48. > :03:52.and forehands for 43 shots, or whatever it was, then Lopez played

:03:53. > :03:56.that wonderful little paddle shot. If it had been a quarter of an inch

:03:57. > :04:04.in the court it would have been a magnificent exhibition of touch and

:04:05. > :04:09.feel. Kyrgios looked like he would never miss at this point and then

:04:10. > :04:14.you think Lopez is the favourite now and he just needs to punch it deep

:04:15. > :04:18.and just misses it. It would have been a perfect shot, otherwise he

:04:19. > :04:22.was in total command of the net. Worst case scenario, he needed an

:04:23. > :04:27.overhead but it was a wonderful point and both players are playing

:04:28. > :04:32.so well to come out firing. Both have different styles, but Kyrgios,

:04:33. > :04:38.he is working his way through the baseline. Lopez looking to get in

:04:39. > :04:43.during his rallies. Not easy when Kyrgios visiting with such length

:04:44. > :04:54.and he is at the moment. It is cat and mouse. The heavy slice from

:04:55. > :04:56.Lopez, trying to hit it long. Good tennis on a lovely summer Sunday

:04:57. > :05:42.afternoon. That looked like dinner and

:05:43. > :05:49.raspberry ice cream to me. -- vanilla. Kyrgios is interesting

:05:50. > :05:51.because he says great servant to Lopez there. You don't get players

:05:52. > :06:18.sent that often. -- saying. Just leans into that two-handed

:06:19. > :06:46.backhand on the return. Just feeds of the speed of the short backswing.

:06:47. > :07:04.He was there for it. Gesticulating to his coaching team to gain. I said

:07:05. > :07:09.earlier on, he is one of the best of all years of the game, but to buy

:07:10. > :07:12.Follies here. The first one cost. He should have made that. That was his

:07:13. > :08:00.fault, he had a terrible folly. That is the break. That is what it

:08:01. > :08:13.means to Kyrgios. Some serious verbals from Lopez as well. And the

:08:14. > :08:21.Aussie crew are feeling pretty happy now. 5-3 in this third set. He is a

:08:22. > :08:50.man who has served 18 aces as well, serving 42-1 lead.

:08:51. > :08:56.Kyrgios, at the moment, from the baseline is just looking so solid.

:08:57. > :09:24.He just looks like he isn't going to miss at the moment.

:09:25. > :09:38.Now that is the curse of a commentator, writ large. He looked a

:09:39. > :09:49.bit lazy about that ball, didn't bend down low enough.

:09:50. > :09:57.He was berating himself at one point last night. Saying you are lazy, you

:09:58. > :10:08.are lazy. It is something he is aware of. Two points from a 2-1

:10:09. > :10:14.lead. Set point for Kyrgios. A lot of

:10:15. > :10:54.muttering at the Spanish end. 131 miles an hour, that was. Lopez

:10:55. > :11:07.goes long. And Kyrgios goes into the lead. He will be pleased but Lopez

:11:08. > :11:15.will be disappointed, I suspect, with one or two aspects of that sad.

:11:16. > :11:19.Just a couple of volleys, but overall, when Mick Kyrgios plays

:11:20. > :11:28.like this and is in this kind of mood, that was the sort of set of

:11:29. > :11:33.tennis where you can see he is a potential grand slam winner. The

:11:34. > :11:37.problem is can he sustain it for four hours when necessary? He hasn't

:11:38. > :11:41.done that so far but he is on a learning curve. If he can keep the

:11:42. > :11:48.fun and declared that he has, because we don't want to lose that,

:11:49. > :11:51.but he is to realise that Sullivan is, percentage-wise, mental

:11:52. > :11:55.strength, you happen to have that if you are going to win seven matches

:11:56. > :11:59.to win a grand slam. You cannot go in and out of it with big dips and

:12:00. > :12:08.that is what we have seen so far. When he is on like that, he is a joy

:12:09. > :12:17.to watch. If he was to win this match and that would give us a

:12:18. > :12:20.Kyrgios, Andy Murray match tomorrow. When the numbers are in yellow it

:12:21. > :12:25.shows that that player has the better statistics than his opponent

:12:26. > :12:31.and that was an exclusively yellow set of features for Mick Kyrgios.

:12:32. > :12:43.That was a magnificent set of tennis, in its totality. Well, Lopez

:12:44. > :12:48.goes back to the far end and he won't have quite so far to look up

:12:49. > :13:47.to his coaching team there. That is them, just above the scoreboard.

:13:48. > :14:04.Goodness me. That was either excellent judgment or a monumental

:14:05. > :14:39.misjudgement. And it was most definitely the latter.

:14:40. > :14:54.Well, congratulations for Kyrgios for running that down, but the game,

:14:55. > :14:58.the volley. Not his best game. Made it too obvious, Kyrgios there,

:14:59. > :15:03.plenty of time to spare. From that distance you should not be getting

:15:04. > :15:05.too bad so easily. The volley should have been shorter of the court than

:15:06. > :15:18.that. of the I think he Miss A Dyrtn

:15:19. > :15:32.volleyer little bit. He got away with it. -- I think he miss hit that

:15:33. > :15:44.volley a little bit. Lopez is wobbling a bit at the moment.

:15:45. > :15:55.Really wobbling. His third double fault and a break point right at the

:15:56. > :16:10.start of this fourth set for Nick Kyrgios. In marked contrast to

:16:11. > :16:16.Kyrgios, Lopez taking his time. He cannot buy a first serve in this

:16:17. > :16:37.game. Barely 50% first server issue at the moment. -- first serve ratio.

:16:38. > :16:45.How about that? Kyrgios was saying, go on then, pass me. Not quite

:16:46. > :16:49.enough on this approach shot. He did not go through the court on the

:16:50. > :16:56.slice. It was an excellent passing shot.

:16:57. > :17:11.In he comes again, but this time he makes it. He needs to hold this

:17:12. > :17:31.game, doesn't he? Yes. The way that Kyrgios is playing at the moment.

:17:32. > :17:39.Just to make the point, Lopez gently dollies a second ball over the net.

:17:40. > :17:47.That is why you cannot take your eyes off Kyrgios. I think Lopez has

:17:48. > :17:51.realised he is not supposed to be sitting down at this changeover. He

:17:52. > :17:56.has just been told by the umpire, you cannot sit down. I think he

:17:57. > :18:02.thinks it is 2-1. He forgot the score. Maybe that was just relief at

:18:03. > :18:20.holding his serve. Well, not much you can do about

:18:21. > :18:48.that. That was a second serve at 129 mph.

:18:49. > :18:53.Really? The first one almost decapitating the photographer in the

:18:54. > :19:02.corner. That one almost took out a line judge.

:19:03. > :19:10.You see, he is feeding off the adrenaline. He likes the crowd, the

:19:11. > :19:14.crowd into it, then he goes for another big one, and serves a

:19:15. > :19:21.double. He is reacting to what is around him. He a showman. The

:19:22. > :19:28.fastest serve on this court so far, 136 mph. That was clever because he

:19:29. > :19:43.took some pace off that. 118. He is thinking.

:19:44. > :19:57.They are having a conversation about how many balls run the court. For no

:19:58. > :20:16.of use reason. -- balls are on the court.

:20:17. > :20:23.A ball has suddenly reappeared, as if by magic. There it is. Well

:20:24. > :20:53.spotted by whoever it is that spotted that.

:20:54. > :21:04.Here goes Lopez, and there are goes Kyrgios. He actually did the right

:21:05. > :21:09.thing in terms of reading the passing shots from Kyrgios on the

:21:10. > :21:15.backhand side. They have almost all gone crosscourt. He edged over that

:21:16. > :21:20.way, and Kyrgios said, OK, and poked it down the line. The ball that has

:21:21. > :21:30.got embedded in one of her camera positions, camera two, I think it

:21:31. > :21:31.has been replaced. It has been replaced by another ball of similar

:21:32. > :22:01.vintage. Well... To me, that looked like a

:22:02. > :22:05.tired volley. I know we have only just tattooed this match, but he did

:22:06. > :22:12.not get down. They have played lots of tennis. He had a five set match

:22:13. > :22:17.and came back from two down against Fabio Fognini two days ago. This is

:22:18. > :22:23.the argument as well about playing doubles. The game and the spectators

:22:24. > :22:27.at large lament the fact that the big names do not play doubles any

:22:28. > :22:37.more, but there is a good reason for that.

:22:38. > :22:48.Also, the doubles, until the rain trouble, it is the best-of-5 sets.

:22:49. > :23:07.The other grand slams are best-of-3. You can have a long match.

:23:08. > :23:15.Did he just take his eye off that? The shot was mishit, but the spend

:23:16. > :23:21.it not look like it made much of the movement. He looked down at the SW19

:23:22. > :23:23.full -- he looked down at the court. Of course, you always do that if you

:23:24. > :23:54.get a bad bounce. It would have been tough to have hit

:23:55. > :24:16.a passing shot from that distance. It was a good pick-up.

:24:17. > :24:22.Par Mr Lopez is challenging the call on the right service line.

:24:23. > :24:30.If that was long, it is his fourth double fault. Kyrgios is walking to

:24:31. > :24:59.the chair. He can hand his towel back, because it was long.

:25:00. > :25:17.Goodness me. What a shot. Brilliance like that. It was a very good

:25:18. > :25:25.approach, lots of slice, lots of bite on that one. He kept it low.

:25:26. > :25:43.That is the sarcasm. He is looking at his box.

:25:44. > :25:59.Look at that. Look at that again. Real power from Kyrgios. Lopez was

:26:00. > :26:05.always struggling. Kyrgios is heading for Murray.

:26:06. > :26:10.STUDIO: Yes, I match against Britain's number one beckons for

:26:11. > :26:17.Nick Kyrgios. We will be back to court one in just a moment. Richard

:26:18. > :26:26.Gasquet is through. He defeated Albert Ramos-Vinolas. Seeded seventh

:26:27. > :26:32.in the championship and playing the best tennis of his career. He is

:26:33. > :26:37.through to the next round, where he will meet the winner of the match

:26:38. > :26:51.currently and court two. John is murder, and fellow Frenchman,

:26:52. > :26:53.Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. John is now has previous four long matches at

:26:54. > :27:02.Wimbledon. They have already been on for more than four hours. That

:27:03. > :27:08.matches on BBC Two. On Centre Court, Alexander Zverev against Tomas

:27:09. > :27:11.Berdych. It is on serve in the second set. The 19-year-old from

:27:12. > :27:16.Germany want to watch for the future. That match is available on

:27:17. > :27:20.the red button. That is what is happening elsewhere. Let's go back

:27:21. > :27:36.to court one. Kyrgios has the break in the fourth

:27:37. > :27:38.set, and he is leading, 2-1. He is showing no sign at all of his serve

:27:39. > :27:56.being broken. He has to come in on that type of

:27:57. > :28:01.shot. That is his game. It would be silly for him to stay back and try

:28:02. > :28:18.to beat Kyrgios from the baseline. That is not going to happen.

:28:19. > :28:24.You can see the difference in power from the baseline. Lopez cannot stay

:28:25. > :28:33.with him long enough in these rallies. He is getting me out wide

:28:34. > :28:50.on the backhand. -- he is getting moved out wide.

:28:51. > :29:02.Not that fast, but deadly accurate. 21 aces. Last night, Kyrgios was a

:29:03. > :29:09.bit distracted, but he is not distracted today.

:29:10. > :29:19.Goodness me. Hero Ely is playing a brilliant match. His match against

:29:20. > :29:23.Dustin Brown, the previous match, his focus was up and down the whole

:29:24. > :29:28.time, but they were trying to outdo each other. Dustin Brown can hit the

:29:29. > :29:44.most spectacular shots. It has been all business today.

:29:45. > :29:51.That was a brilliant approach shot from Lopez.

:29:52. > :30:04.It was a very conservative winner. He just struggled, Lopez, to hit

:30:05. > :30:22.that type of shot against Kyrgios. It has not happened so far today.

:30:23. > :30:31.As long as Kyrgios keeps serving like that, he is heading to the next

:30:32. > :30:36.round. If he continues at this level, the concentration and the

:30:37. > :30:41.focus, then Andy Murray will be in for a tough match. I know Andy

:30:42. > :30:50.Murray is a different level than Lopez, but this is controlled

:30:51. > :30:51.aggression right now. Shot selection, he is playing the

:30:52. > :31:26.percentages, when he needs to. The thing is, you almost feel as if

:31:27. > :32:10.this match is on Kyrgios's racket. Well, he was talking after missing

:32:11. > :32:16.the first serve and he is talking even more after missing the second.

:32:17. > :32:23.He is not happy with the server today. The coaches saying, what am I

:32:24. > :32:30.supposed to do? I didn't throw the ball up and hit the bottom of the

:32:31. > :32:35.net. Five double faults from Lopez. His first serve percentage is around

:32:36. > :32:39.about one in two. That is not good enough against a man like Kyrgios.

:32:40. > :32:44.Two consecutive double faults. Goodness me. They are not of that is

:32:45. > :32:55.the pressure Kyrgios has been putting on him. -- a lot of that.

:32:56. > :33:01.The crowd getting on Kyrgios's psyche because they want this to

:33:02. > :33:15.continue. That is five faults in a row.

:33:16. > :33:29.That will make him feel marginally better. Can Kyrgios when this whole

:33:30. > :33:33.thing? Or, at some point, with his level dropped because he cannot play

:33:34. > :33:36.at this level because of the personality that he is for long

:33:37. > :33:43.enough to get through to one week today? I would think at the moment

:33:44. > :33:47.he is not capable of playing the seven matches, though this would be

:33:48. > :33:54.his third, to one of the tournament. He will have too many dips. At the

:33:55. > :34:01.moment, if he could play like this for the last two sets, yes. I just

:34:02. > :34:05.don't think it is there yet. He is so exciting to watch though and if

:34:06. > :34:13.he can channel this type of aggression and variety and have fun

:34:14. > :34:18.but to the business like today, if he can do this then, if he continues

:34:19. > :34:23.like this at the end of the match, his coach and people around him will

:34:24. > :34:28.give him a ten out of ten. But we haven't finished yet. Let's see if

:34:29. > :34:34.he can keep this level up and not have a dip. We haven't been playing

:34:35. > :34:39.for two hours and 18 minutes, as you can see from the scoreboard. Only 40

:34:40. > :34:53.odd minutes of that was this afternoon. While last night was

:34:54. > :34:57.really one way, one way this way, one way that way, this has been all

:34:58. > :34:59.one way since they resent this afternoon as far as Mick is

:35:00. > :35:20.concerned. That kind of an error at the end of

:35:21. > :35:40.the baseline rally has been rare from the Australian.

:35:41. > :35:47.75% of first serves in this match. 74% is his average in the

:35:48. > :36:19.tournament. That is incredible serving. If he can keep that up...

:36:20. > :36:23.A quiet air of resignation seems to be descending over Lopez at the

:36:24. > :36:46.moment. 23 aces and there is nothing you can

:36:47. > :36:52.do about that. Short of the standing there and saying serve it at me. His

:36:53. > :36:58.variety has been good, Lopez has not been able to read the serve right.

:36:59. > :37:06.As you said, he just looks like he doesn't know how to find a way

:37:07. > :37:08.today. But just holding his serve, he might get one more serve to

:37:09. > :37:29.break. You just don't know with him. We have become so used to seeing him

:37:30. > :37:37.at Queen's were he has had good runs and at Wimbledon here. He has

:37:38. > :37:38.reached the last 16 times. Lopez is under so much pressure from Kyrgios,

:37:39. > :38:49.the whole time. I think they are both challenging,

:38:50. > :38:57.if there is such a thing. Kyrgios asked of Lopez's coach if it was

:38:58. > :39:07.good enough? It would be funny if he had asked the Spanish coach if he

:39:08. > :39:14.should challenge or not. Now we have the ultimate extension of the era.

:39:15. > :39:31.You are actually challenging copyright.

:39:32. > :39:36.Isn't that a wonderful shot from our camera position, looking about that

:39:37. > :39:40.blue sky. We haven't seen much of that this week and wouldn't be great

:39:41. > :39:46.if weather-wise this kick-started its second week where that is what

:39:47. > :39:52.the images were like. It has been a bit, let's be honest, Wimbledon is

:39:53. > :39:56.wonderful and it has been great, but it has been a big grizzly and a big

:39:57. > :40:01.white and a bit miserable and it needs a day like this and eight

:40:02. > :40:05.match like this. If this match could ignite now, if Lopez could get back

:40:06. > :41:08.into this, to really make Wimbledon the like it should.

:41:09. > :41:19.Lopez upped the ante a fraction of there. It hasn't been easy for him

:41:20. > :41:23.to force errors from the baseline but that had extra pace on the

:41:24. > :41:27.forehand, taking in a few more chances. A good point for him. Time

:41:28. > :41:59.is running out for the Spaniard. Well, you mentioned that he might

:42:00. > :42:06.have one last chance to look at the Kyrgios serve and maybe this is it.

:42:07. > :42:35.That was the third double fault that Kyrgios has served in this match.

:42:36. > :42:49.Well, he decelerated on about passing shot. Two break points. The

:42:50. > :43:09.first break points of the day. Against a Kyrgios serve for Lopez.

:43:10. > :43:18.He gave another look at them. You didn't tell me to move there on

:43:19. > :43:38.break point. What were you thinking? It is still break point.

:43:39. > :43:57.That is the most outrageous yes. -- yes. Or it is a break of serve. It

:43:58. > :44:03.is all their fault. Absolutely, it is their fault. 117 miles an hour on

:44:04. > :44:26.a second point break down. Kyrgios didn't complain about

:44:27. > :44:34.archiving, did he? Though. -- och aye. Just completely took him by

:44:35. > :45:08.surprise and look at the roar from Kyrgios. 120 mph.

:45:09. > :45:13.He knifed that one in and Kyrgios is littered with himself for that. That

:45:14. > :45:24.was a real approach shot. I think he is more annoyed with the

:45:25. > :45:33.backhand before that was sort of half court. It enabled Platt -- it

:45:34. > :45:34.enabled Lopez to get in. It is the first time we have seen him a little

:45:35. > :45:48.bit anxious. That was Lopez screaming at his box

:45:49. > :46:33.again. As ace 26 goes down. Coming in, and past it goes. How on

:46:34. > :46:35.earth do you play against that? Two break points, and ace out wide,

:46:36. > :46:56.first serve, and that deuce, another ace.

:46:57. > :47:02.Some of the big servers are not interesting to watch, but he is

:47:03. > :47:10.compelling. He is going to be major box office. He already is. What a

:47:11. > :47:15.tennis player, but what an athlete as well. You could see him playing

:47:16. > :47:32.Aussie rules, whatever. He has got it.

:47:33. > :47:44.You see how much pace he got off the forehand. He snapped his wrist. So

:47:45. > :47:46.extreme, the pace that came out Lopez, he has not been able to take

:47:47. > :48:10.aid of that shot at all. And you can see the spirit draining

:48:11. > :48:23.out of the Spaniard now. That last game, with those break

:48:24. > :48:39.opportunities, may have sapped his last sense of belief.

:48:40. > :48:52.And if this is to be the end, I think the crowd would love to see

:48:53. > :49:06.one more Nick Kyrgios service game. Not enough on that backhand volley.

:49:07. > :49:11.He would normally be straight. He guided that first volley. That is

:49:12. > :49:18.the consequence of the bludgeoning he has been getting during the

:49:19. > :49:23.course of these two sets. Lopez on the ropes, taking punch after punch

:49:24. > :49:25.from Nick Kyrgios. Is the Australian about to land one final knockout

:49:26. > :50:10.blow? Nearly. So, for the second time, Nick

:50:11. > :50:15.Kyrgios has a point for a place on the second Monday of Wimbledon 2016,

:50:16. > :50:18.and the match that everyone will want to have a ticket to see. Nick

:50:19. > :50:29.Kyrgios against Andy Murray. He nearly finished it in the

:50:30. > :50:44.grandest manner. This is, or, Feliciano. It has not

:50:45. > :50:50.quite reached the heights of last night, but it is still riveting. He

:50:51. > :51:27.has played very much second fiddle so far.

:51:28. > :51:38.He almost broke the net with that forehand. It would have been a

:51:39. > :51:45.winner anyway. We keep talking about servers at 130 mph, and second

:51:46. > :51:46.serves at 120. What sort of speed is a forehand like that going at? It is

:51:47. > :52:20.around 90. He was a bit late getting around

:52:21. > :52:31.that forehand. His feet were not moving. One more time, Binnie is

:52:32. > :52:37.beautiful blue skies, is this to be the final point Ofwat has been an

:52:38. > :52:40.enthralling act -- enthralling encounter between Nick Kyrgios and

:52:41. > :53:05.Feliciano Lopez. A bit conservative on that return.

:53:06. > :53:12.There he was. Plenty of time on that one. He just guided it back. Lopez

:53:13. > :53:25.lives and, just. Now that is the Feliciano Lopez that

:53:26. > :53:31.we are used to seeing at the grass courts of Wimbledon. A sensational

:53:32. > :53:58.volley. He took off the pace. So, we shall have one more game.

:53:59. > :54:08.What tricks can Kyrgios come up with? It is not over yet. He played

:54:09. > :54:14.a couple of match points, a couple of returns, he was a bit tired on

:54:15. > :54:22.those. He did not hit out like he normally does. This is for a place

:54:23. > :54:27.in the last 16 of Wimbledon. He has not been around that long. This is a

:54:28. > :54:35.big match. He got to the last 16 in his first year. He beat Rafael Nadal

:54:36. > :54:44.in that extraordinary match. It is one of the statistics, you realise

:54:45. > :54:49.with the passage of time, Lopez played his first grand slam event

:54:50. > :54:58.when Kyrgios was six. So they are from different generations. Lopez is

:54:59. > :55:05.keeping him waiting. It is like the changeover.

:55:06. > :55:09.Here we go. Nick Kyrgios serving to meet Andy Murray, tomorrow

:55:10. > :55:55.afternoon. It looked like he came up a little

:55:56. > :56:01.on that backhand and was guiding it a bit. I thought he had just missed

:56:02. > :56:02.it. Watch the way he comes out of the ball very early. It just crept

:56:03. > :56:31.in. Lopez moved him -- Lopez moved to

:56:32. > :56:43.the right, and Kyrgios needed no second opportunity. Straight down

:56:44. > :57:09.the middle. At a mph, another ace. He is two points from victory.

:57:10. > :57:18.Well played, Lopez. You thought about coming in a couple of times.

:57:19. > :57:24.He hedged his bets. Strange, strange tactics from Kyrgios, to hit the

:57:25. > :57:31.backhand half court. He almost wanted Lopez to come, and key give

:57:32. > :58:02.him the opportunity. He did not hit the ball.

:58:03. > :58:15.Just the Brit force of that. Lopez could not return it. For the fourth

:58:16. > :58:20.time, but for the first time on his serve, this is Nick Kyrgios at match

:58:21. > :58:31.point, for a place in the last 16 against Britain's Andy Murray.

:58:32. > :58:41.UMPIRE: Warning, Mr Kyrgios. That is ridiculous. We can discuss that

:58:42. > :58:58.after this point. It has gone long. Kyrgios is

:58:59. > :59:11.through. Slightly hesitant at the end. But

:59:12. > :59:21.for the most part on this glorious summer Sunday afternoon, he was

:59:22. > :59:34.imperious. Look out, Andy Murray. This man is playing like a dream.

:59:35. > :59:43.Lopez still chatting away to steam. Surely he has run out of things to

:59:44. > :59:46.say by now you. It was a superb performance by the Australian. I

:59:47. > :59:52.hate to think what would have happened if he had lost that point

:59:53. > :59:58.with a time violation. Match point. What was the umpire thinking? How

:59:59. > :00:04.about reading the circumstances of the match, at such a fast pace, why

:00:05. > :00:07.get involved at that stage, why? It would have been interesting to have

:00:08. > :00:14.seen how long he would have taken. So what? If you look at it

:00:15. > :00:18.cumulatively, he takes ten seconds between each point. On this

:00:19. > :00:27.occasion, he takes more, for a place against Andy Murray. Stay away from

:00:28. > :00:34.that. It always takes two to make an enthralling game. Lopez is waiting

:00:35. > :00:36.for Kyrgios to go off court. Part two of this match belonged almost

:00:37. > :00:49.exclusively to the Australian. It is that kind of a date with that

:00:50. > :00:55.kind of a crowd. Here at Wimbledon for the very first time because they

:00:56. > :01:06.bought the tickets went on line yesterday. Everyone was able to log

:01:07. > :01:10.on, get tickets. I met a couple from Wolverhampton who drove them this

:01:11. > :01:15.morning. They said it was the most exciting day of their life. They had

:01:16. > :01:19.been tennis fans for ever, they were in the ballot every year, and never

:01:20. > :01:23.got tickets, they up on yesterday and they almost cried when they

:01:24. > :01:28.realised they got two tickets. They got to see Kyrgios play a match like

:01:29. > :01:35.that and they might have gotten to see a future grand slam winner

:01:36. > :01:40.because that kind of form is impressive. So, there is the scorer.

:01:41. > :01:44.The crowd on number one Court today saw an hour and a half of a

:01:45. > :01:52.brilliant play, especially from this man. Nick, congratulations. What

:01:53. > :01:59.pleased you most about how you played? My attitude. It was tough

:02:00. > :02:05.heading there. After the darkness of yesterday, I had to come out quickly

:02:06. > :02:08.and I knew he would jump on me from the get go and I thought they

:02:09. > :02:12.started really well. I am really happy with how I played. I thought

:02:13. > :02:19.the level of tennis was really high. He is not an easy player to play on

:02:20. > :02:25.any surface. I am really pleased. Were you given a code violation for

:02:26. > :02:32.a time delay? Obviously, it was a big moment. I wanted to take my time

:02:33. > :02:38.in little bit, I wanted to loosen up. That is fine. Something else to

:02:39. > :02:44.do with as well. A lack of understanding from the umpire, do

:02:45. > :02:48.you think? Not at all. He gives me a little information earlier in the

:02:49. > :02:54.match. It was strange. Usually I am pretty quick. It was fair enough. I

:02:55. > :02:59.should speed up a little bit. Next up you will have Andy Murray. He

:03:00. > :03:06.will have the crowd on site. Can you spot a British party? I think I can.

:03:07. > :03:09.He is one of the best players in the brunt and he will be the favourite

:03:10. > :03:14.since Novak is out. I've will go out and not do anything any different.

:03:15. > :03:19.We are a great mates and he is a great guy and good player and I am

:03:20. > :03:24.looking forward to it. Andy has had a straight run. You have played in

:03:25. > :03:30.almost every condition here. Will that be a disadvantage? Yes and no.

:03:31. > :03:35.I would have liked more recovery. I played three tough matches and I am

:03:36. > :03:40.feeling confident. I played three tough competitors. I played on all

:03:41. > :03:43.the services and play good tennis so I am looking forward to it. Andy

:03:44. > :03:51.Murray on Centre Court, it will be great. He will be match ready. He

:03:52. > :03:55.may be a controversial character but he is so watchable. He born

:03:56. > :03:59.entertainer who looks at home on the big stage and I am sure he will be

:04:00. > :04:09.on the biggest stage fall tomorrow, said the court to take on Andy

:04:10. > :04:13.Murray, the British number one. So, Kyrgios is through. Let's take you

:04:14. > :04:18.out to Court Number Two. This marathon may be drawing to a close.

:04:19. > :04:24.He is Jo Wilfried Tsonga serving against John Isner. It is 18-17 in

:04:25. > :04:32.the fifth and final set. That is live on BBC Two. We are heading to

:04:33. > :04:40.Centre Court to seek this man, Tomas Berdych. He is in charge against the

:04:41. > :05:09.19-year-old from Germany. 63 -- 6-3, 6-4. Burdick is very much in charge.

:05:10. > :05:20.The teenager is ranked 28, the best teenager in the word. He is being

:05:21. > :05:21.put in his place right now. Playing some clinical and very powerful

:05:22. > :05:45.tennis. He has been very impressive. Zeverev is finding it very difficult

:05:46. > :06:14.to make any inroads in his serve whatsoever.

:06:15. > :06:31.Zverev will be a future star but probably not today, the way this is

:06:32. > :06:48.going. Zverev has shocking problems trying

:06:49. > :07:01.to break the Berdych serve. He has never really got near it. Serving

:07:02. > :07:03.stats will tell you exactly. Zverev has not returned well and the

:07:04. > :07:14.Berdych serve has been extraordinary. 66% of first serves

:07:15. > :07:19.in that it is not that which is the crucial thing is, first serve

:07:20. > :07:31.points, it is not even that it is vitally important. It is the second

:07:32. > :07:37.serve, 79%. Usually you would see 58, made to high 50s behind the

:07:38. > :07:43.second serve. They would be happy with that. That is a dilemma for

:07:44. > :07:49.Zverev. He needs to be able to hold serve just to keep his nose in

:07:50. > :07:54.front. He was able to get to 3-3 in the second set, can he get deeper

:07:55. > :07:58.into this set. His next question is how can I get into the Tomas Berdych

:07:59. > :08:08.serve and the answer is winning more of those points on second serve. One

:08:09. > :08:35.thing is for sure, he will have two improve that statistic.

:08:36. > :08:51.Zverev is wondering why. He has challenged, unsuccessfully. He is

:08:52. > :08:55.ahead on the Berdych serve for the first time. For the first time in a

:08:56. > :09:16.long time. Now, suddenly a glimmer of hope for

:09:17. > :10:15.the German. He has been making goes all day. He

:10:16. > :10:22.has been like a machine, but not in this game. The first break point in

:10:23. > :10:53.the match for Alexander Zverev. We can hardly believe what we have

:10:54. > :11:06.just seen. The match totally turned on its head. We were trying to think

:11:07. > :11:09.of what Zverev could do, but interestingly, three forehand

:11:10. > :11:19.errors, consecutively from Berdych. We haven't seen anything like that

:11:20. > :11:32.so far in this match. Can he used that as a platform?

:11:33. > :11:39.Berdych has gone right off the boil. He has looked serene in the first

:11:40. > :11:51.hour and a half. The unforced errors are mounting

:11:52. > :12:39.fast. The magic is gone. It is

:12:40. > :12:42.extraordinary. We have had four or five long exchanges early in the

:12:43. > :12:44.match and Zverev was winning none of those and suddenly it is Berdych who

:12:45. > :13:27.is breaking down. He mustn't get carried away with

:13:28. > :14:25.himself. Three metres long, that. Another forehand goes astray. They

:14:26. > :14:29.look of astonishment and you can understand why. He was virtually

:14:30. > :14:59.faultless for a first hour and a quarter.

:15:00. > :15:18.That is the kind of form that is everyone so excited about Zverev.

:15:19. > :15:26.For new viewers, a few facts and figures about Zverev. Ranked 28 in

:15:27. > :15:33.the world, he is on a career high. He started the year at 83, but he

:15:34. > :15:39.has got to a couple of finals, in Nice, and also where he beat Roger

:15:40. > :15:43.Federer. After that he lost. Six foot six, all the credentials,

:15:44. > :15:49.reckoned to be the future superstar of tennis. Absolutely. The depth in

:15:50. > :15:59.the Maenpaa is my game is so strong these days. Even though he is inside

:16:00. > :16:03.the top 30's already, -- inside the top 30 already, sometimes you have

:16:04. > :16:08.to be cautious about saying that players are going to be definite top

:16:09. > :16:12.five, definite grand slam priors, but if you were going to say that

:16:13. > :16:18.about someone, you would say a tabloid Alexander Zverev. Lots of

:16:19. > :16:22.power, big ground strokes, so much room to improve physically and

:16:23. > :16:24.mentally. He will develop. My daughters have told me he is very

:16:25. > :16:38.marketable. The crowd have latched onto him

:16:39. > :16:41.because he is the underdog. He is an attractive player to watch, and now

:16:42. > :17:37.he is in front in the third set. It is coping with the power of

:17:38. > :17:46.Berdych. He has done that so much better.

:17:47. > :17:51.Mrs Berdych. It was an easy watch for the first hour and a quarter. It

:17:52. > :18:12.has got a lot more tense since then. Sometimes, when it goes, it goes

:18:13. > :18:17.big-time. That forehand, not just that he missed it, but it was the

:18:18. > :18:19.manner in which he missed. It seems like all the rhythm has suddenly

:18:20. > :18:44.gone. The phone is ringing, man. Someone's

:18:45. > :18:57.Mobile is ringing. At a crucial time, just reminding him of that.

:18:58. > :19:08.He has missed that. Such a good shot down the line. This is a point for a

:19:09. > :20:15.double break, and surely the set. Lots of forehand winners from

:20:16. > :20:55.Berdych, but in this set, lots of forehand mistakes.

:20:56. > :21:08.Yes, again, it landed in that bare patch. There is not a lot you can do

:21:09. > :21:32.with it, but it was a super finish. He is having a look. He is happy

:21:33. > :21:40.with it. Well, not happy. But he agrees it was in. In his life,

:21:41. > :21:51.Zverev has never come back from 2-0 sets down. A change of balls, and

:21:52. > :22:03.the change of rackets. Zverev is returning better. That was

:22:04. > :22:16.the problem in the first two sets. Berdych may be heartened by the

:22:17. > :22:23.Davis Cup match which they played this year. He won the first set,

:22:24. > :22:30.then he was in real trouble, Alexander won the second set. He was

:22:31. > :22:36.up against it. But he came back to win the fifth. Zverev just a single

:22:37. > :23:20.break in front in this set. He looks up at his box. They say,

:23:21. > :23:37.yes, get involved. He wants to know if he wins the point. He does not

:23:38. > :23:38.get it. Not even close. On UMPIRE: 15-15, Mr Zverev has two challenges

:23:39. > :24:00.remaining. Could you imagine a forehand missed

:24:01. > :24:05.like that in the first hour or so? I am just having a think, to see what

:24:06. > :24:34.has changed in his mind, to lose the rhythm like he has.

:24:35. > :24:44.He is challenging the baseline. Difficult to see from where we are.

:24:45. > :24:59.He is a natural challenger. It was all right. On UMPIRE: 30-30, Mr

:25:00. > :25:11.Zverev has one challenge remaining. Here's a natural this fellow. Got

:25:12. > :25:17.it. That may be as important a shot as we have had in the match. It

:25:18. > :25:22.looked like the white serve had done the trick, but the backhand giving

:25:23. > :25:23.Tomas Berdych a slight opening. My goodness, what a passing shot that

:25:24. > :25:48.was. I do not know how he can contain

:25:49. > :26:03.himself. Alex in the front row, next to his trainer.

:26:04. > :26:25.The crowd love that, 134 mph. That is his quickest serve so far.

:26:26. > :26:31.He did not do enough with the backhand down the line. He probably

:26:32. > :26:42.feels he deserves to lose the point. The first rule of tennis, watch the

:26:43. > :27:16.ball. What is going on? His head seems to

:27:17. > :27:42.be Miles away. Break point. A screamer from the German. Berdych

:27:43. > :28:38.knows he missed an opportunity. A bit of everything in their skin.

:28:39. > :28:50.Yes, and the longer it goes on, the bigger the moment is. A couple of

:28:51. > :28:54.screams from Alexander. -- Zverev. We have not seen that sort of thing

:28:55. > :29:35.before. He knows how big this moment is. Another bullet. 133, that one.

:29:36. > :29:48.You just get the feeling he is not totally focused at the moment. There

:29:49. > :30:38.is still the occasional loose point that creeps into his game.

:30:39. > :30:57.Really good work from Berdych, that was impressive.

:30:58. > :31:25.The longest game, and it might be a pivotal one.

:31:26. > :33:00.We have seen winners, some shocking losers, but Zverev has not missed

:33:01. > :33:17.much in particular game. This is all support for Sverdrup.

:33:18. > :33:29.You can see he is struggling just a little bit at the moment. -- Sarah.

:33:30. > :33:47.The game, Berdych was so quick to spot the trouble that Zverev was in.

:33:48. > :33:52.He just comes forward and it is a perfect touch at the night. -- at

:33:53. > :34:23.the net. Is she going to challenge this one?

:34:24. > :34:26.He has won a challenge left. He is not going to use it. Berdych breaks

:34:27. > :34:51.back. So, in the end, at the fourth

:34:52. > :34:56.attempt, Berdych gets the break. He will look back at those mistakes.

:34:57. > :35:01.When he seemed to have the game basically where he wanted it then

:35:02. > :35:09.suddenly there were two shocking errors. That was at the exchange at

:35:10. > :35:17.the net. I was getting ready to say he has got the better of Berdych.

:35:18. > :35:21.The first shot of the next point, a shank into the crowd and suddenly he

:35:22. > :35:28.is break point down again. It has happened if you dance. There were

:35:29. > :35:37.three games in a row. The third occasion was when he was broken and

:35:38. > :35:40.that is one area where you would call it a miniature lapse in

:35:41. > :35:48.concentration but you don't see it from someone like Tomas Berdych. His

:35:49. > :35:59.dad still believes. He has never yet beaten a seeded

:36:00. > :36:30.player in the slammer. We saw Berdych going through a spell

:36:31. > :36:31.when he was sitting more losers than winners and it seems like the worm

:36:32. > :37:45.has turned. This is back to where we were in the

:37:46. > :37:57.first couple of sets. Three games on the spin now for the cheque. Berdych

:37:58. > :38:09.had a comfortable service came at last. He has been under the cosh

:38:10. > :38:10.recently. A great atmosphere. There are about 13,000 inside this Centre

:38:11. > :39:00.Court. Good work. That will be crucial. He

:39:01. > :40:07.had no chance. The forehand still doesn't look as

:40:08. > :40:15.devastating as it did in the first couple of sets. It is still not

:40:16. > :40:29.right. He is not timing it as well, not being as damaging up the court.

:40:30. > :40:56.Zverev marked out as a top player from a young age, former junior

:40:57. > :41:01.number one in the world. He won the Boys' Singles title a couple of

:41:02. > :41:09.years ago at the Australian Open. The previous year. It is the package

:41:10. > :41:16.really that is so alluring. He is a very tall, when he fills out he will

:41:17. > :41:21.be immensely powerful because he has natural timing, moves well for a guy

:41:22. > :41:24.of six foot six and seems to have a good temperament. He has floated

:41:25. > :41:33.away just here and there in this match. All those aspects of his game

:41:34. > :41:39.that he has, every one of those is still going to improve. You look at

:41:40. > :41:44.some of his results, at 19 years of age he has beaten Roger Fedor on the

:41:45. > :41:48.grass a couple of weeks ago. You cannot achieve those results at such

:41:49. > :41:59.a young age if you do not have something very special.

:42:00. > :42:07.We were saying earlier, goes Green has nurtured Andy Murray's fitness

:42:08. > :42:13.since he was a teenager. -- Des Green. Zverev can achieve as much as

:42:14. > :43:31.Merhi has. -- Marie. He is doing well to live with

:43:32. > :43:36.Berdych in rallies like that. Berdych has broken back in this set,

:43:37. > :43:40.the whole feel of the match has changed now. The first two sets were

:43:41. > :43:44.very much one-way traffic. That is not the case since Berdych lost his

:43:45. > :43:59.timing. The whole field of the match has changed.

:44:00. > :44:30.The power is so natural. Here are three set points for Zverev.

:44:31. > :44:38.Well done. Berdych is six foot five. He was backpedalling. That was some

:44:39. > :45:26.shot. He is challenging. It looked all

:45:27. > :45:35.right. Zverev, this is his last challenge. It was all right. So,

:45:36. > :46:12.they are both out of challenges. But he does have one set point left.

:46:13. > :46:31.Thoroughly deserved. He is still in this match.

:46:32. > :46:39.This Sunday crowd have got what they want, which is a match year on

:46:40. > :46:43.Centre Court. We saw Serena Williams in sublime form earlier. It looked

:46:44. > :46:49.like Berdych was going to win this with some comfort, but now it is

:46:50. > :46:55.game on. It is well and truly game on. That was a cry from Zverev, not

:46:56. > :47:03.just someone who is here to push Berdych close, it is someone who

:47:04. > :47:06.believes they can win this match. Berdych's statistics suddenly in

:47:07. > :47:14.freefall. Double the amount of unforced errors. Those statistics

:47:15. > :47:21.are the key to the third set, the error count from Berdych was not

:47:22. > :47:27.there in the first couple of sets. The second serve points one was 100

:47:28. > :47:34.point -- 100% at the end of the first set. Look out for it has

:47:35. > :47:38.fallen. Something has happened. Zverev has to have made some more

:47:39. > :47:45.balls from the returns, but from Berdych's point of view, something

:47:46. > :47:48.has happened, his timing. He was definitely in the zone in the first

:47:49. > :47:55.two sets. Something has happened where he has drifted out. Yes, he

:47:56. > :47:59.could not miss for the first hour. It must be a very uncomfortable

:48:00. > :48:04.feeling, when you feel so sure of yourself, and suddenly you're not.

:48:05. > :48:10.Especially now, we run a grass court, it is a quick word, he is

:48:11. > :48:16.playing someone who is 19, fill of belief, he has a massive serve, it

:48:17. > :48:44.is a dangerous situation. UMPIRE: The challenges being called,

:48:45. > :48:49.the right baseline. He does not miss an opportunity to

:48:50. > :48:56.challenge. He has got it. A big smile. I am not sure if it was that

:48:57. > :50:21.man who said, get involved. That is a lovely shot. It is

:50:22. > :50:25.applauded by Zverev. Two massive guys. Six foot five and six foot

:50:26. > :51:09.six. But they have got real talent at their hands as well.

:51:10. > :51:23.Powering home. The match really does have a totally different feel about

:51:24. > :51:32.it now. Berdych has had an OK year, but by his standards, disappointing.

:51:33. > :51:37.He has not reached a final. A couple of semifinals, in Doha and

:51:38. > :51:46.Marseille. A quarterfinal in the Australian Open. And that Roland

:51:47. > :51:47.Garros. Federer and Djokovic. He has not had the breakthrough he would

:51:48. > :53:03.want. A serious look down from Mrs

:53:04. > :54:10.Berdych. That is what was happening for two

:54:11. > :54:47.sets. Berdych breaking Zverev down, particularly on the forehand.

:54:48. > :55:04.Another mess on the forehand. It is getting to be a habit.

:55:05. > :55:13.Stepanek, the linchpin of the Czech Republic pars Davis Cup run. They

:55:14. > :55:20.have been phenomenal in the last couple of years.

:55:21. > :56:31.He just missed it. It was a great looking shot. He is asking about it.

:56:32. > :56:41.I think he knows he had a good position. It was wide. No challenge,

:56:42. > :56:45.for once. It was a super rally. Yes, I really intelligence lies from

:56:46. > :56:50.Zverev in the middle of that rally, using the spin to take Berdych out

:56:51. > :56:52.of the court. He will be very happy to hold serve and level things up in

:56:53. > :57:27.the fourth set. Well played, Zverev. It was a

:57:28. > :58:38.meaningful approach by Berdych. He was banished.

:58:39. > :58:49.Solid work from the player from the Czech Republic. Battling to get

:58:50. > :58:51.control back. He had almost complete control in the first couple of sets.

:58:52. > :59:55.Now it is tantalisingly far-away. He has missed that. He looks up for

:59:56. > :00:01.support. They are all waving it away. Everyone of them. So

:00:02. > :00:52.frustrating. He timed to perfection. That is just

:00:53. > :00:58.a feeling that Berdych is perhaps sensing a bit of pressure building

:00:59. > :01:36.up. He missed the short forehand but no mistake, that last one...

:01:37. > :02:39.Although there is some of pressure building on Zverev year, the fact he

:02:40. > :02:43.can stick in some of these longer points and when some of them shows

:02:44. > :02:55.how the much has changed since the opening hour or so.

:02:56. > :03:10.That was a good return, he didn't deserve that, Berdych.

:03:11. > :03:48.That is the point, he was not being dictated to as much as earlier.

:03:49. > :04:31.Pretty impressive from both guys. They break point for Berdych this

:04:32. > :05:17.time. Dynamite. Berdych breaks, he leads

:05:18. > :05:21.to - one, is now two games to one. That could be a crucial break.

:05:22. > :05:26.Berdych 2-1 up with the break. We will be back on centre in a minute.

:05:27. > :05:32.And absolutely epic match has taken place on Court Number Two and it has

:05:33. > :05:36.been won by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. The 12th seed defeated John Isner. What

:05:37. > :05:41.a treat for the fans out there. They have it all. The big serving of

:05:42. > :05:45.Isner, the shotmaking and athleticism of Tsonga and drama all

:05:46. > :05:51.the way to read that thrilling final set. For hours and 25 minutes and

:05:52. > :05:55.what a treat for all of the fans who went online to get their ground

:05:56. > :06:00.passes. They made their way into court to and have seen one of the

:06:01. > :06:04.most memorable matches a year at the Championships. He is a real crowd

:06:05. > :06:08.favourite. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is through to the next round. Bad news

:06:09. > :06:16.for him, he is back on court tomorrow to face Richard Gasquet. So

:06:17. > :06:21.much tennis to look forward to. Also, other documentaries to look

:06:22. > :06:26.forward to. This is called Serena. It is looking at life from 2015

:06:27. > :06:31.through this year. Her life as a tennis superstar but also as a

:06:32. > :06:35.successful businesswoman. Then, just call me Martina is tomorrow night at

:06:36. > :06:41.a quarter to 11. That is looking at Mateen APPLAUSE

:06:42. > :06:43.Life growing up in war-torn Czechoslovakia, defecting to America

:06:44. > :06:50.and then becoming one of the greats of the game.

:06:51. > :06:59.We are heading straight back to Centre Court. So, can Tomas Berdych

:07:00. > :07:16.hold serve? That is all they need to do. -- all he needs to do.

:07:17. > :08:14.The German is a feisty competitor as well as being a brilliant player.

:08:15. > :08:19.He is going to challenge. There was a lot going through his head in that

:08:20. > :08:30.split second. Once again, hot guy gets the better

:08:31. > :09:17.of him. -- archive. Called a fault and corrected.

:09:18. > :09:27.Berdych thinks he should have won the point. Zverev has challenged.

:09:28. > :10:04.And he is right with the challenge. A chance beckoning occasion. 135

:10:05. > :10:10.mile an hour serve. That is the quickest from vertical afternoon. --

:10:11. > :11:15.from Berdych. He had a chance. Another big serve

:11:16. > :11:17.on another big point from Berdych. He was lucky to get away with that

:11:18. > :11:41.volley. He just overcooked it. Serving very much to the fore. Now

:11:42. > :12:52.there are just three chances to break for Zverev.

:12:53. > :13:08.He got lucky they are. He used his luck so impressively. Both players

:13:09. > :13:12.expected that to go their way. After it did, Berdych was very quick to

:13:13. > :13:16.get on top of the point. It just seems like Zverev is mentally

:13:17. > :14:04.getting a little bit tired now. Three break points for some

:14:05. > :14:55.insurance. That was a rather tame reply and

:14:56. > :15:09.Berdych is really in the ascendancy again. I think you are spot on

:15:10. > :15:13.there. There is fatigue in Zverev. It is not necessarily physical

:15:14. > :15:18.fatigue, this has been Centre Court, against a man he has made the final.

:15:19. > :15:23.It is a hard-nosed judo and he looks like he is flicking a little bit.

:15:24. > :15:29.Yes, when the big stage, in the big tournaments, regardless of where he

:15:30. > :15:35.is right now, what potential he has in the future, he's up against one

:15:36. > :15:41.of the most experienced players on tour. We spoke about that earlier in

:15:42. > :15:46.the match. I guess he is not used to, in this scenario, being up

:15:47. > :15:52.against someone were just the slightest lapse of concentration, it

:15:53. > :15:57.really does cost you. On top of that, it has been a tough week with

:15:58. > :16:02.the weather. His first-round match was delayed overnight. He had to

:16:03. > :16:08.come back. His second-round match, the same thing. He was on and off

:16:09. > :16:12.court 34 times during the day. He will never have experienced that

:16:13. > :16:17.before, and it is part of that Michelin process. And then you put

:16:18. > :16:22.him on Centre Court against Berdych? Yes, and fair play to Tomas Berdych.

:16:23. > :16:25.He has used all his experience to bounce back from the difference in

:16:26. > :16:31.level that he was producing in the third set. It must be quite

:16:32. > :16:36.unsettling to be playing so well and within 1015 minutes you're spraying

:16:37. > :16:43.ten or 12 unforced mistakes from the ground strokes. At the start of the

:16:44. > :16:49.set, he knuckles back down. There was a close game at Love- one. He

:16:50. > :17:00.has regrouped, and he is showing all of his experience. Berdych, 4-1, he

:17:01. > :17:31.should be in the comfort zone, but does he feel it?

:17:32. > :18:04.12 aces no four-man Mac. -- 12 aces now for Tomas.

:18:05. > :18:54.He cannot finish it. That is five games on the spin now for Tomas

:18:55. > :19:08.Berdych. Just half an hour after taking set

:19:09. > :19:49.number three, he is serving to stay in the match.

:19:50. > :19:57.I am not sure if there was a dodgy bounce. There might have been. But

:19:58. > :20:24.mentally, he is checking out. He has picked up a terrific show,

:20:25. > :20:45.but he is a spent force. Three match points for Berdych.

:20:46. > :20:54.UMPIRE: Game, set and match, Berdych. A strong victory. It must

:20:55. > :21:00.have felt distinctly uncomfortable when Zverev was coming at him in the

:21:01. > :21:10.third set. He lost his rhythm, but he read in bed, and Berdych goes

:21:11. > :21:17.through, 6-1 in the fourth set. -- but he got it back. The Sunday crowd

:21:18. > :21:20.appreciated what they saw. It was an entertaining match. We saw some of

:21:21. > :21:26.the best of Tomas Berdych in the first two sets. Sascha Zverev put up

:21:27. > :21:30.a good show. But in the end, probably his efforts to get this far

:21:31. > :21:34.through the tricky weather, throughout the week, and also

:21:35. > :21:38.against somebody who is so experienced and so clinical in his

:21:39. > :21:45.play, and in the end, Zverev run out of resistance. It must have been

:21:46. > :21:49.unnerving, for someone who was so in the zone, to highly make a mistake

:21:50. > :21:54.for one hour, and suddenly it is all unhinged. At that level, it is

:21:55. > :21:59.extraordinary. Yes, he had to focus back into the match very quickly. It

:22:00. > :22:07.was the beginning of the fourth set, at 0- one, he could easily have gone

:22:08. > :22:14.a break down, but he did not. That is why he has been such a consistent

:22:15. > :22:21.player at the big tournaments. Once more, Berdych goes into the last 16.

:22:22. > :22:26.Zverev, we will see more from him. As I mentioned before, he has all

:22:27. > :22:31.the qualities that you need. Maybe he needs to bulk up a little bit,

:22:32. > :22:35.but he just needs the maturing process, and today will be a big

:22:36. > :22:39.part of that. That is back-to-back grand slams in the third round, the

:22:40. > :22:47.third round of the French Open, the third round here, on a big court.

:22:48. > :22:51.Against a big player. He will go from to strength. He plays with his

:22:52. > :22:56.heart on his sleeve, he is entertaining, and he has the ground

:22:57. > :23:03.strokes, the weaponry. We will enjoy watching him for any years to come,

:23:04. > :23:08.I think. Berdych must be a little relieved. He played very well, that

:23:09. > :23:14.he had a disconcerting patch in the third set. He has come through in

:23:15. > :23:22.the end, comfortably. He won the last six games. He has dropped just

:23:23. > :23:35.a couple of sets in making it through to the last 16.

:23:36. > :23:44.There is the result, two hours and 39 minutes. Berdych is through. He

:23:45. > :23:47.is courtside with Gary Richardson. Many congratulations on the victory.

:23:48. > :23:54.What was your verdict? Thank you very much. I think it was a very

:23:55. > :23:59.good match. I have to mention it, playing on Sunday, on the Centre

:24:00. > :24:05.Court, it is very special. I have to say that. I am pleased with the way

:24:06. > :24:10.I played and handled the match. Also, I cannot forget that Sascha is

:24:11. > :24:14.definitely the man to look up. I think he is a future grand slam

:24:15. > :24:19.winner. I am pleased to make this game, to make this happen. Let's

:24:20. > :24:25.dissect some of the things you said. You said it is special on Sunday.

:24:26. > :24:29.Why is it different? I am one of the guys that love traditions. I do not

:24:30. > :24:34.know if I am right. I think it is just the fourth time in such a long

:24:35. > :24:37.history of the championship that we are playing on the middle Sunday. I

:24:38. > :24:43.get the chance to play on Centre Court, it cannot be better than

:24:44. > :24:48.that. You're right, he is just 19, one for the future, isn't he?

:24:49. > :24:53.Definitely. He is the guy we will hear about a lot. We will hear about

:24:54. > :24:59.his results. I just wish him all the best for the future. Again, I am

:25:00. > :25:02.happy to go through. Enjoy the rest of Europe Sunday.

:25:03. > :25:08.Thank you. We will certainly hear much more from young Alexander

:25:09. > :25:12.Zverev. Tomas Berdych is safely through. He will be back on court

:25:13. > :25:18.again tomorrow. If you're just getting home, the news stories of

:25:19. > :25:25.the Dave, Nick Kyrgios has put out the Lizzy Yarnold Lopez in four

:25:26. > :25:33.sets. -- has put out the Lizzy Yarnold Lopez. Tomorrow, he has

:25:34. > :25:40.booked himself a place on Centre Court. He is facing Andy Murray.

:25:41. > :25:46.That will be a match to watch. Murray against Kyrgios. Serena

:25:47. > :25:50.Williams, the defending champion, is very comfortable victory against

:25:51. > :26:03.Annie Tabak. Serena Williams safely through. Few would bet against her

:26:04. > :26:10.22nd grand slam title. We are going to take you to the big story of the

:26:11. > :26:18.day on Court number two. Big serving John Isner has a habit of playing

:26:19. > :26:21.marathons. It is 18-17. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has just broken, and we can

:26:22. > :26:37.join him serving for the match with Mark Petchey.

:26:38. > :26:44.All of his aces and the deuce side have come down the key. Another one

:26:45. > :26:48.to add to the collection, almost his fastest serve of the match at 132.

:26:49. > :27:05.He can sense victory. An UMPIRE: John Isner is challenging

:27:06. > :27:18.the call. At the centre line, the ball was called in. 30-0. John Isner

:27:19. > :27:49.has two challenges remaining. Thank you.

:27:50. > :27:59.What a match they have put on. He is making this game look easy. Let me

:28:00. > :28:08.tell you, it is anything but. He is showing great focus. He knows the

:28:09. > :28:12.writing is on the wall. He is not writing his name into the next

:28:13. > :28:25.round. It will be Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Three match points.

:28:26. > :28:39.He went for a massive second serve. He is 40-0 up. I know he has a bit

:28:40. > :28:46.of leeway. But look at the bigger picture. Cameras at the ready, for

:28:47. > :29:01.the moment, the moment of victory. It is on his racket.

:29:02. > :29:15.He has done it. Look at the delight. He finally sees of the American John

:29:16. > :29:22.Isner. Another classic at Wimbledon for the American. The first one,

:29:23. > :29:27.back in 2010. STUDIO: He is such a great

:29:28. > :29:32.entertainer, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Four hours and 24 minutes that

:29:33. > :29:37.matched it. He will be back on court tomorrow. I wonder how much he has

:29:38. > :29:42.got left. He will have a difficult match against fellow Frenchman

:29:43. > :29:47.Richard Gasquet. He won comfortably in four sets against Ramos-Vinolas.

:29:48. > :29:53.It is the first time that four French men have been in the last 16

:29:54. > :29:59.at Wimbledon since 1928. 16 of them started the championship. Gasquet

:30:00. > :30:03.against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, what a wonderful shotmaking match that will

:30:04. > :30:09.be. Everyone still making their way here at Wimbledon. We are catching

:30:10. > :30:14.up. We still have 12 third-round matches to be played. The men's

:30:15. > :30:20.fourth-round matches are almost complete.

:30:21. > :30:28.Who is going to come through in the top have neither Djokovic is not

:30:29. > :30:33.there. Berdych is now through. Only one men's match remains to be

:30:34. > :30:38.completed. Tomorrow, it is Kyrgios against Murray. Andy Murray's

:30:39. > :30:45.brother Jamie is on court at the moment for his match. This is a

:30:46. > :30:49.second round match. That is with his partner Bruno Soares. That is live

:30:50. > :30:57.on BBC Two. More tennis on Court number one. The last remaining men's

:30:58. > :31:06.singles match. That is Jiri Vesely against Joao Sousa. It is not going

:31:07. > :31:10.well for Joao Sousa. The score is on the screen. If you want to watch

:31:11. > :31:17.that much, it is live on the red button. Time for us to say goodbye

:31:18. > :31:23.on BBC One. The tennis continues on BBC Two with Jamie Murray's doubles

:31:24. > :31:29.match. We look forward to Manic Monday, when all four for throwing

:31:30. > :31:30.badges will be played. More tennis on BBC Two. Maybe see you there.

:31:31. > :31:33.Goodbye.
