Day 6, Part 2

:00:12. > :00:20.This is the national programme. We are going to take you over to

:00:21. > :00:31.Wimbledon... He's done it. The majesty -- Her Majesty will present

:00:32. > :00:38.the trophy. Oh, yes! That is perfect. Irresistible, majestic, in

:00:39. > :00:46.a class of her own. Wimbledon champion.

:00:47. > :00:52.Welcome to the middle Saturday of Wimbledon. We have had five days of

:00:53. > :00:57.sunshine and heat and we expect another full day of play on the

:00:58. > :01:01.courts of the All-England Club. In addition to our TV coverage you can

:01:02. > :01:06.watch up to six matches on the Red Button depending on your provider,

:01:07. > :01:12.and more live courts uninterrupted on the BBC Sport app, website and

:01:13. > :01:16.connected TVs. And after all the tension of Andy Murray's victory on

:01:17. > :01:20.Centre Court last night we hope for more drama here this afternoon, and

:01:21. > :01:24.by the end of the day we should know the last 16 in the men's and ladies

:01:25. > :01:33.singles. Let's look at the order of play on the show courts. First up on

:01:34. > :01:38.Centre Court at 1pm, Agnieszka Radwanska against Timea Bacsinszky.

:01:39. > :01:43.Big hitter Ernests Gulbis against Novak Djokovic, and Mischa Zverev,

:01:44. > :01:53.older brother of Sasha, against Roger Federer. Raonic starts on

:01:54. > :01:55.Court One. Dominic Thiem, an up-and-coming star, taking on

:01:56. > :02:03.another, 20-year-old Jarrod Donaldson. We are going to take you,

:02:04. > :02:07.you may have been watching on BBC Two, court number three where Grigor

:02:08. > :02:12.Dimitrov is taking on Dudi Sela, who has just had the trainer on court

:02:13. > :02:18.but he is back out playing. As you can see Dimitrov has taken the first

:02:19. > :02:19.set 6-1 and is serving for this game, so let's join our

:02:20. > :02:28.commentators. COMMENTATOR: It has been a good

:02:29. > :02:33.start to the second set, especially after the long break for the

:02:34. > :02:48.trainer. Doesn't seem to have affected Dimitrov.

:02:49. > :02:57.Sela trying to take the return early. Comfortable service hold from

:02:58. > :03:04.the Bulgarian. He has only actually last two points on serve so far in

:03:05. > :03:09.this encounter. I do like the way, though, that Sela is trying

:03:10. > :03:12.something different. It is not effective at the moment, he is

:03:13. > :03:16.trying to take the ball a bit earlier and not give Dimitrov so

:03:17. > :03:24.much time as he did in the first set so he is thinking and at least

:03:25. > :03:30.coming out with plan Be. He is not accepting his fate. Here's a

:03:31. > :03:32.thinker. Against Granollers he changed his game style, played more

:03:33. > :03:51.balls in court, mixed up the spins. Forced back in that rally but gets

:03:52. > :03:53.away with it. Only made two unforced errors in the first set, Dimitrov,

:03:54. > :04:15.just his third of the match. How about that? That was a change,

:04:16. > :04:19.wasn't it? Again, thinking. Only 103 miles an hour in his serve -

:04:20. > :04:24.volleys. Dimitrov was not expecting it. Good tactics. Good volley.

:04:25. > :04:43.Snapped that one away. Another day for the sunglasses, I'm

:04:44. > :05:25.glad to say. Lucky he was following that one in

:05:26. > :05:30.as well, in the second serve. Struggling, missing the first serve.

:05:31. > :05:32.Sela has won just three of 11 points in this match so far. A second

:05:33. > :05:55.double fault. You can tell the crowd wanting to

:05:56. > :06:02.get behind Sela here, hoping to see a bit more of an encounter.

:06:03. > :06:11.He has got good hand skills, Sela, has the title to his name on the ATP

:06:12. > :06:23.Tour doubles circuit. Has never won an ATP Tour singles title.

:06:24. > :06:36.Oh, pity. I'm surprised he hasn't challenged this one. It was very

:06:37. > :06:43.close. Interesting to see the umpire's you. Richard Haig said it

:06:44. > :07:01.was a fraction wide. -- the umpire's view.

:07:02. > :07:22.Groans from the crowd. Dimitrov has another break point.

:07:23. > :07:27.The one-way traffic continues as Dimitrov breaks early in the second

:07:28. > :08:07.set. The winner of this one faces either

:08:08. > :08:11.Roger Federer or Mischa Zverev, but would you put Dimitrov in your top

:08:12. > :08:26.five contenders to win the championship 's? Not quite. I put

:08:27. > :08:29.him just outside of that. Even with this performance is not changing

:08:30. > :08:50.your mind at all? Not in the top five, no. I'm guessing you go for

:08:51. > :08:52.the big four, I wonder who your 50s? -- Puyol fifth is. That is a third

:08:53. > :09:17.ace will Dimitrov. In the blink of an eye, able to

:09:18. > :09:21.back-up the break. 3-0, second set. STUDIO: Sue has gone to Centre Court

:09:22. > :09:26.because she has a big introduction job to do but as you can see,

:09:27. > :09:32.Dimitrov in control of that match. At court two this is the featured

:09:33. > :09:36.match on the Red Button, former Wimbledon runner-up and French Open

:09:37. > :09:42.champion Muguruza has taken the second set, it is 1-1 in the second

:09:43. > :09:49.set. Encore 12 Svetlana Kuznetsova, the seventh seed, took the set

:09:50. > :10:00.against Hercog and is a break-up already in the second. On Courteix

:10:01. > :10:03.team Magdalena Ribarikova who pulled off a fabulous win against Pliskova

:10:04. > :10:07.is still looking strong, arguably on the best form coming into this

:10:08. > :10:14.tournament having won so many titles, 6-2 to her in the first set

:10:15. > :10:18.against Tsurenko and they are starting the second set. Let's

:10:19. > :10:23.rejoin Grigor Dimitrov against Dudi Sela Kirk, who gave the

:10:24. > :10:26.giant-killing performance when he took out John Isner, but now

:10:27. > :10:43.struggling with a thigh injury and Dimitrov in control.

:10:44. > :10:51.COMMENTATOR: Sela who had his right thigh heavily strapped, has taken

:10:52. > :10:54.the strapping off. We had to delay between the sets when he had

:10:55. > :10:56.treatment and that was put on. Clearly he felt it was causing some

:10:57. > :11:21.discomfort. Does just look a little stiff,

:11:22. > :11:25.almost, with his movement. I wonder he if he will carry on the end of

:11:26. > :11:51.the second set. Oh! That was a bit cheeky, wasn't

:11:52. > :11:55.it? I had the feeling he was wanting to try and shorten the points. Nice

:11:56. > :12:02.hand skills again, though, wasn't it?

:12:03. > :12:07.That is the serve and volley again. That is the way of shortening the

:12:08. > :13:24.point if he is carrying an injury. Not quite made it, just lost his

:13:25. > :13:28.footing at the wrong time, Dimitrov, but an excellent point from Sela and

:13:29. > :13:32.his team are delighted, the Israelis still showing plenty of fight and

:13:33. > :13:45.gets himself on the board in this second set.

:13:46. > :14:07.Oh... Bad volley, that one, just snatched it forward, racket head

:14:08. > :15:30.down. LAUGHTER Oh! That's a pity. It would

:15:31. > :15:36.have been a classic if they get bad for winners. If Sela loses this

:15:37. > :15:41.match at least he will have that shot to take home! LAUGHTER I love

:15:42. > :15:50.that! Not sure if he would have done that at 3-3 in the first set, but

:15:51. > :16:00.look at that, classic! Don't try that at home! Good shot. Dimitrov in

:16:01. > :16:03.his last match did one round the back against bad. Us from the

:16:04. > :16:08.baseline and won the point so maybe Sela was just trying to outdo him.

:16:09. > :16:16.When you see that you think players go to their local clubs, shall I try

:16:17. > :16:19.that? Don't! Especially if you get a higher bouncing ball as well!

:16:20. > :16:31.LAUGHTER. We talked about concentration

:16:32. > :16:38.sometimes being an issue with Dimitrov and he is playing a little

:16:39. > :16:42.bit of a sloppy game. Only dropped two points on serve all match and

:16:43. > :16:44.has dropped three in this game, so opportunity here for the Israeli to

:16:45. > :17:15.get the break back. Oh! Dimitrov got there in the end!

:17:16. > :17:21.He got there, but a couple of shaky points there. That was not a good

:17:22. > :17:24.half-volley therefrom Dimitrov, good lunch, bad approach shot in the

:17:25. > :17:39.first place, but he got away with it.

:17:40. > :17:51.Tight and tense. He looks quite pumped. At the start of the year I

:17:52. > :17:55.watched him in the Brisbane tournament, the first of the year,

:17:56. > :17:59.and I noticed he was more animated between the points and had a steely

:18:00. > :18:03.look to him which he has done throughout much of 2017 of them on

:18:04. > :18:10.the clay courts, not a good clay-court season. Didn't need his

:18:11. > :18:49.feet at all there. The ball is caught out. First time

:18:50. > :18:59.we have seen a challenge from Dimitrov. That's a good one. Shows

:19:00. > :19:10.how well he's seeing the ball today. Replay the point. Diousse.

:19:11. > :20:06.That's the first time he has been tested on serve in this match,

:20:07. > :20:17.Dimitrov, but he passes that test. He is able to hold once again.

:20:18. > :20:29.A few wispy clouds today. Haven't seen too many clouds in the first

:20:30. > :20:33.week, John. No, it has been perfect. That man there just got his

:20:34. > :20:37.concentration back in time, just lost it for a point two and when you

:20:38. > :20:44.play someone like Dudi Sela, who has the trainer on the court again,

:20:45. > :20:48.looks like for a massage, he fights. You lose your concentration for a

:20:49. > :20:50.fraction and he will come at you, and Dimitrov did, just to get

:20:51. > :21:07.himself out of it in time. He can't take any more medical

:21:08. > :21:19.time-outs, so just having a bit of a massage. Of course, this is one of

:21:20. > :21:24.the biggest matches of Dudi Sela's rear. He's reached the fourth round

:21:25. > :21:38.once here before in 2009 before losing to Djokovic.

:21:39. > :21:42.Looks like serve and volley will be the tactic for Sela and Dimitrov

:21:43. > :22:06.alert to it. A different type of set, isn't it,

:22:07. > :22:11.where seeing in this second set, to what we saw in the first. They had

:22:12. > :23:09.to change something, and he has certainly done that.

:23:10. > :23:23.Oh... ! That looked saw when he tried to bend for that volley --

:23:24. > :23:38.that looked painful. Two more break points.

:23:39. > :23:45.A good quality first volley there will stop the passing shot a little

:23:46. > :23:57.bit tougher for Dimitrov. The games have got a little closer.

:23:58. > :24:27.Again, Sela showing some fight. The problem is now Sela is becoming

:24:28. > :24:35.a bit predictable with the serve - volley, and Dimitrov is waiting for

:24:36. > :24:45.it. Just trying to shorten the points, Dudi Sela.

:24:46. > :24:59.Well... If he does have a thigh injury he did well to get down low

:25:00. > :25:56.to that volley. Oh, that's brilliant from Dimitrov.

:25:57. > :26:02.Turns defence into attack. So quick on the court. Good drop shot, too.

:26:03. > :26:30.Did well to get onto that one. He saw it so early.

:26:31. > :26:39.This time Dimitrov is able to convert the break point. It's all a

:26:40. > :26:42.little easy, isn't it, in truth, for the 13 seed right now? A game away

:26:43. > :26:57.from a 2-0 lead. I like that, though, John. Good

:26:58. > :27:49.character, not taking his foot off the gas.

:27:50. > :28:02.Fourth ace, and it brings up three set points.

:28:03. > :28:14.A little longer than the first set, but again, a clinic from Grigor

:28:15. > :28:21.Dimitrov. Take the second set 6-1, and that is that, I'm afraid. You

:28:22. > :28:26.can understand it, Sela really struggling with the thigh injury.

:28:27. > :28:31.Tried to serve and volley, tried to shorten the points. Smiles from

:28:32. > :28:33.Dimitrov, he is always a good sport. The Bulgarian will move through to

:28:34. > :28:44.round four. Just an hour on court. Looked good

:28:45. > :28:51.in that hour, didn't he? He did. But Sela couldn't offer too much.

:28:52. > :28:54.Difficult to judge because Dudi Sela didn't have much opposition today,

:28:55. > :28:58.he was hampered by the problem in the five from the beginning, you

:28:59. > :29:03.could see it, and he is a warrior, he would not default unless he was

:29:04. > :29:09.completely restricted with no chance of him carrying on, so a great pity,

:29:10. > :29:14.some good glimpses as you say, of Dimitrov, but did we see enough to

:29:15. > :29:19.judge? No, but it is a perfect way to end the first week for Dimitrov,

:29:20. > :29:24.another day off and ready for the real battles on the Monday. Yes, and

:29:25. > :29:28.Sela has had a good tournament, a couple of really good five set win

:29:29. > :29:32.is particularly against John Eisner. Dimitrov through to the fourth round

:29:33. > :29:38.for the second time in his career here, and last time he got through

:29:39. > :29:46.to the semifinals in 2014. STUDIO: In that fourth-round Dimitrov will

:29:47. > :29:49.meet either Zverev or Federer, that match coming up later today on

:29:50. > :29:55.Centre Court. We will whip over to court two because Garbine Muguruza,

:29:56. > :30:03.a runner-up here at Wimbledon is edging in on victory against

:30:04. > :30:10.Cirstea. Let's join our commentators for this match.

:30:11. > :30:19.COMMENTATOR: Garbine Muguruza a game away from booking a place in the

:30:20. > :30:24.round of 16. Are very professional performance by Muguruza so far in

:30:25. > :30:28.this match, good serving, big ground strokes, good shot selection, coming

:30:29. > :30:32.into the net when she needed to. This could have been a difficult

:30:33. > :30:42.match for her. Cirstea has many weapons.

:30:43. > :30:49.Just the frustration on the face of the Romanian as Muguruza has

:30:50. > :30:52.seemingly gone through the gears to get herself into this position on

:30:53. > :31:17.the verge of a place in the round of 16.

:31:18. > :31:27.She has done all that has been required of her, Muguruza. She was a

:31:28. > :31:31.finalist here in 2015. A Grand Slam winner. Martinez is in hard corner,

:31:32. > :32:13.the 1994 champion. We just saw martinis there. She is

:32:14. > :32:25.there because Muguruza's called Chas not travelled.

:32:26. > :32:30.The emotions have been unchecked from Muguruza which is Ireland

:32:31. > :32:47.occasion of how she is playing. Very even killed.

:32:48. > :33:06.She fell to save eight break points in her last service game. She was

:33:07. > :33:19.broken. It would be good to hold Pinochet can.

:33:20. > :33:28.A little bit unlucky. If the first shot had not hit then it might have

:33:29. > :33:34.been modified to. As it was it gave me Muguruza at the time to have a

:33:35. > :33:35.good hit back at the backhand. Muguruza is inaccurately quarter of

:33:36. > :34:04.the draw. The winner of the match faces the

:34:05. > :34:12.winner of Angelique Kerber's match. Can she do Martinez knows what it is

:34:13. > :34:17.to win here. She has done all she can do, help serve. She is a game

:34:18. > :34:36.away. It is interesting to know how the

:34:37. > :34:40.players are failing in the absence of a player like Serena Williams and

:34:41. > :34:47.this is perhaps a golden opportunity to claim a first Grand Slam title in

:34:48. > :34:57.the case of Muguruza. Muguruza is in that conversation. She has been to

:34:58. > :35:01.the final in 2015. The last couple of years, since she won Paris, the

:35:02. > :35:08.last couple of years has been a bit of a struggle as far as consistency

:35:09. > :35:13.goes. She is an emotional player. For her to perform on the cord

:35:14. > :35:15.everything has to be in place off of the cord and sometimes she is on the

:35:16. > :35:43.edge emotionally. Muguruza has not had any real

:35:44. > :35:48.standout results this season. She has battled a few minor injuries.

:35:49. > :36:01.Her ankle shot down when she fell to defend her French Open crown.

:36:02. > :36:04.Muguruza has been as high as two in the world. She is currently sitting

:36:05. > :37:48.at 15. We have said a few times about

:37:49. > :37:52.Cirstea, it is the final shot. Doesn't give herself near enough

:37:53. > :38:01.time to hit that, is she tried to hit bad for a winner or hit it back

:38:02. > :38:11.into the Muguruza forehand side? Too many unforced errors from Cirstea

:38:12. > :38:12.today. It came about from a lovely served from Muguruza to bring up

:38:13. > :38:57.match point. There it is. Arms aloft, Muguruza is

:38:58. > :39:02.through to the round of 16. It has taken her just over an hour. One

:39:03. > :39:13.hour and ten minutes. She is yet to drop a set, today against Cirstea.

:39:14. > :39:20.6-2, 6-2. I think she will be more than happy. I cannot believe when

:39:21. > :39:26.she won that last match point should boot both her arms up into the air.

:39:27. > :39:32.Muguruza knew this was going to be a tough match, didn't she? Just the

:39:33. > :39:39.joy that we saw when she won one match point goes to show that she

:39:40. > :39:45.was ready for this today, she was measured, her shot selection was

:39:46. > :39:56.good. Her effectiveness was good. There are few left in the draw but

:39:57. > :40:00.Muguruza is a contender for the -- a former finalist in 2015. She will

:40:01. > :40:12.face the winner of the Angelique Kerber's match.

:40:13. > :40:26.Almost simultaneously a win for the seventh seed from Russia. 6-4, 6-0.

:40:27. > :40:39.She knows exactly what goes on. Hugely experienced player.

:40:40. > :40:48.A relatively straightforward win. One of the stories of the

:40:49. > :40:59.championship so far is Magdalena Rybarikova who has beaten so. She

:41:00. > :41:03.was sidelined for most of last season. She marches into the last

:41:04. > :41:21.16. It is the most lovely day here. A

:41:22. > :41:26.little bit cooler than yesterday. Those on the outside courts have

:41:27. > :41:32.been watching practice, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, it is a

:41:33. > :41:37.funny thing to be able to do. There are doubles and mixed doubles

:41:38. > :41:41.matches on the outside courts. Later we will be concentrating on the

:41:42. > :41:56.action on Centre Court and Court One. We start with Agnieszka

:41:57. > :42:01.Radwanska against Bacsinszky. Roger Federer has been speaking to Phil

:42:02. > :42:21.Jones. One thing that maybe will surprise

:42:22. > :42:26.the viewers is that you get nervous still on Centre Court and there was

:42:27. > :42:31.a bit of that yesterday. Yet, I do not know why that happens but I am

:42:32. > :42:36.happy, it means I care. It means I am excited for the match. Sometimes

:42:37. > :42:43.getting rid of the nurse takes a couple of games, sometimes it is a

:42:44. > :42:47.set. You cannot explain why. That is the beauty of the match situation.

:42:48. > :42:53.It throws you this pressure and you have to deal with it. It took me a

:42:54. > :42:59.while to deal with the nurse but I got through it. How would you

:43:00. > :43:07.measure your level in terms of where you needed to be going forward? Now

:43:08. > :43:14.I am in the third round and I am facing my first seed it is when you

:43:15. > :43:19.can tell where my level is at. I did not drop any sense. I have not

:43:20. > :43:35.received any energy. I am healthy, I feel good. Very is quirky, universe

:43:36. > :43:39.now what you are going to get. . He played me in Australia and tried to

:43:40. > :43:45.take the ball early. It will be interesting to see what he will do.

:43:46. > :43:50.He is most likely going to serve on the first and second serve. I like

:43:51. > :43:58.to play against those kind of players because we will see

:43:59. > :44:11.everything that grass court tennis wants to see.

:44:12. > :44:22.Roger Federer the coolest man on the planet. He is playing me show very.

:44:23. > :44:31.-- Zverev. He was asked how he would approach the match against Federer.

:44:32. > :44:37.He said give a mean look. Novak Djokovic has been looking very

:44:38. > :44:42.relaxed and signing autographs. He has Andre Agassi in his camp. Trying

:44:43. > :44:48.to find the answer to bigger questions in life. He says tennis as

:44:49. > :44:53.part of a much bigger picture. Moving his way through to the round

:44:54. > :44:56.of 16 is his aim today. It is a big day at Wimbledon because in the

:44:57. > :45:04.middle sat that they invite lots of stars from the world of sport mac.

:45:05. > :45:14.We are going to see plenty of familiar faces from Rio de Janeiro.

:45:15. > :45:20.Welcome to Centre Court. In keeping with tradition, the chairman of the

:45:21. > :45:24.All England Club has invited guests into the Royal Box from the world of

:45:25. > :45:30.sport and this year we are paying tribute to some of the stars from

:45:31. > :45:41.last summer's Olympics where Great Britain broke records galore. Three

:45:42. > :45:48.stars from the pool. Two swimmers who won double gold at the

:45:49. > :45:53.Paralympics. A breast stroke swimmer who broke the world record to win

:45:54. > :46:16.gold. Hannah Russell and Adam P T. Staying in the water or other on it,

:46:17. > :46:27.welcome some more British Olympic champions. Two sailors who turned

:46:28. > :46:32.London silver into gold and two canoeists who created another golden

:46:33. > :46:33.splash for Team GB. Saskia Clark, Hannah Mills, Joe Clark and Liam

:46:34. > :46:55.Heath. Another fantastic rowing regatta for

:46:56. > :46:59.Great Britain and we are delighted to be joined by some of the gold

:47:00. > :47:10.winning crew and a woman who retained her title in great style.

:47:11. > :47:13.Paul Bennett, Matt Langridge, Tom Rienzi, Alex Gregory and Helen

:47:14. > :47:32.Glover. Another group whose exploits in the

:47:33. > :47:36.Olympic hockey final had the nation gripped. Their thrilling penalty

:47:37. > :47:40.shoot out delayed the Ten O'Clock News but it did not matter because

:47:41. > :47:47.that evening they were the nose. From the Great Britain's women's

:47:48. > :47:48.hockey team, Hannah McLeod, Jordi Twigg, Helen Richardson Walsh and

:47:49. > :48:14.Kate Richardson Walsh. Next some more athletes who struck

:48:15. > :48:17.gold at the Rio Paralympics. A triple gold medallist in dressage,

:48:18. > :48:23.two runners who is printed to glory in Brazil and a tennis player who

:48:24. > :48:30.also happens to be a Wimbledon champion. Sophie Kristiansen, Libby

:48:31. > :48:54.Clegg and her guide Chris Clark, Georgina Hermitage and Gordon Reid.

:48:55. > :49:00.It was yet another record-breaking Games for Olympic and Paralympic

:49:01. > :49:10.cyclist and we are thrilled to see many of them here today. Give a

:49:11. > :49:11.Centre Court welcome to Eleanor Parker, Jordi Cundy, Philip Hinds

:49:12. > :49:36.and Calum Skinner. We are also delighted to be joined

:49:37. > :49:40.by two more cyclists who make up Britain's most successful Olympic

:49:41. > :49:49.couple. Winning an incredible ten gold medals between them, they

:49:50. > :50:10.haven't finished yet. Isn't that nice? Laura and Jason Kenny.

:50:11. > :50:16.Finally, a man who is very familiar with its famous arena, a tennis

:50:17. > :50:20.player who retained his Olympic title in Rio and this crowd are

:50:21. > :50:24.hoping he will be retaining his Wimbledon title in eight days.

:50:25. > :51:12.Welcome back to Centre Court Andy Murray.

:51:13. > :51:23.They love you, Andy. All of London's emergency services provide support

:51:24. > :51:27.for the Championships, many as volunteers. Armed forces personnel

:51:28. > :51:33.is a body by members of the London Fire Brigade have been stewarding

:51:34. > :51:37.the show courts. Many of them have shown their professionalism, bravery

:51:38. > :51:43.and dedication in active service in the most demanding of circumstances.

:51:44. > :51:44.We are honoured they are here. Show your appreciation for our stewards

:51:45. > :52:40.at the Royal Box guests. We are going to take you over to

:52:41. > :52:45.Wimbledon for running commentary of the all England championship...

:52:46. > :53:06.Tennis played a crucial part in when colour was introduced.

:53:07. > :54:27.That was Pat Cash in his element. I think he said that was the second

:54:28. > :54:33.best time he has had here at Wimbledon after winning the trophy.

:54:34. > :54:42.A bit of fun there. Billie Jean and Tracy are with me. Can you believe

:54:43. > :54:49.it? I saw your story. I love you and virgin you walking in Central Park.

:54:50. > :54:54.She did not buy a lunch! And will have to talk to her about that.

:54:55. > :55:01.Wasn't that lovely with Andy Murray? He was so embarrassed. He beat the

:55:02. > :55:06.greatest player ever at home in Great Britain on Centre Court at

:55:07. > :55:12.Wimbledon. I couldn't believe it. The script was written in heaven.

:55:13. > :55:18.But this was going to happen. Such a great moment for Great Britain and

:55:19. > :55:26.all of us throughout the world. I remember when he won here. Perfect.

:55:27. > :55:33.I love the guy. He deals with it so well. A lot of players would buckle

:55:34. > :55:39.under that. Gerber had trouble last year after winning so much. Two

:55:40. > :55:45.majors and losing the finals here. She did not like the off the court

:55:46. > :55:50.pressures that came with it and she has not played as well because of

:55:51. > :55:56.that. It is amazing. People do not realise when they get to the job it

:55:57. > :56:02.is what comes with it. She was used at having time to herself and she

:56:03. > :56:07.was not getting it. It was -- is interesting to see how Babel cope

:56:08. > :56:12.with being number one. Even yesterday the way he called with

:56:13. > :56:16.Fabio Fognini. Fognini must be very difficult to play because his game

:56:17. > :56:21.is awkward, he gives you know them. He gets the treatment for his ankle

:56:22. > :56:26.and he comes out and is running beautifully and Andy faced five set

:56:27. > :56:30.points and that could been very dangerous if it went to a fifth and

:56:31. > :56:34.it would probably have got dark. Andy seems to love the challenge and

:56:35. > :56:40.a feeling of trying to problems of and how can I work less point out?

:56:41. > :56:43.That is what is so important? He does not think about winning and

:56:44. > :56:49.losing and the expectations of the crowd. He uses the crowd. He knows

:56:50. > :56:57.when to pump them up. He seems to thrive on it. That is what great

:56:58. > :57:02.champions do, find a way to win. They embrace the moment, the crowd,

:57:03. > :57:06.their energy, they find a way to win the big points and that is what

:57:07. > :57:12.makes them extra good. Up the level just enough to win the point.

:57:13. > :57:18.Fognini is a really hard to play. Very difficult. Andy said I could

:57:19. > :57:24.try to overpower him. He was mixing it up a lot. And he needs to go to

:57:25. > :57:29.the net more or be more aggressive if he is going to win. He has

:57:30. > :57:34.defined that happy medium to be appropriately aggressive. Getting in

:57:35. > :57:39.their face and giving pleasure. Going against what he does that

:57:40. > :57:46.truly. He likes to retreat. Andy can do anything. He just has to get in

:57:47. > :57:53.the mindset. Look for the openings, sunlight, go forward more. Not all

:57:54. > :58:07.the time, but look for that. That is what Lendl wants to do. Two match

:58:08. > :58:14.points. Maybe I have that wrong. It is not going to be all about power,

:58:15. > :58:18.it is about changes of pace, drop shots, using all forms of the game

:58:19. > :58:23.and both have such high tennis IQs because they do not have that

:58:24. > :58:29.ability with one shot. It is going to be a lot of fun. Both have had

:58:30. > :58:34.subpar years coming into Wimbledon. Bacsinszky got to the semifinal of

:58:35. > :58:40.the French. It is something players have a difficulty with us you change

:58:41. > :58:48.rackets. Probably for this reason. You think? It was a different head.

:58:49. > :58:52.They messed with your head. It is one of the things that is difficult

:58:53. > :58:58.to change. She lost confidence. Other players felt they could beat

:58:59. > :58:59.her. She has changed back. Real opportunity in this top half of the

:59:00. > :59:23.draw. Here they come. Watching her play, she is so

:59:24. > :59:29.difficult, she runs everything down. Difficulty with the right foot, I am

:59:30. > :59:34.going to look for that. She is like a chess player, tactically amazing.

:59:35. > :59:39.The one thing she lacks is power. I love watching her play. How her mind

:59:40. > :59:45.works. Can you imagine how great she would be at you had a couple of big

:59:46. > :59:50.weapons? She is slight compared to some of the other athletes on court.

:59:51. > :59:59.Bacsinszky's forehand is weak and the backhand is beautiful. Top money

:00:00. > :00:05.shot. It has not been a great year so this has come at the right time.

:00:06. > :00:10.Change of the racket and the foot injury. She depends on her foot

:00:11. > :00:16.speed. She uses a lot of defends to get the extra ball back in play

:00:17. > :00:21.because all of the points are going to go two, three, four. It is the

:00:22. > :00:26.beauty of using the entire court and that is what both of them do. She is

:00:27. > :00:30.going to have to decide, she has never beaten Bacsinszky, does she

:00:31. > :00:36.want to go with the forehand to the weaker side, it is going to slice

:00:37. > :00:42.more, drop shot more, but the backhand is much more powerful?

:00:43. > :00:52.We mentioned Angelique Kerber, no one was talking about her before as

:00:53. > :00:56.we look at who is here. Muguruza and Kuznetsova are already through. Who

:00:57. > :01:00.to look out for in this top half, you mentioned Angelique Kerber, she

:01:01. > :01:04.is going through OK. She is going through all right but I think she is

:01:05. > :01:10.lacking self-confidence that needs to find her form. She has to work

:01:11. > :01:16.hard on her serve. I love her spot shot, she can go so low, her centre

:01:17. > :01:32.of gravity is so low especially on the

:01:33. > :01:36.backhand, I her a lot because she has to work hard, she is not as tall

:01:37. > :01:38.as some other players. She's a great athlete and I hope she feels

:01:39. > :01:40.confident. Self-confidence is so important. Muguruza impressive

:01:41. > :01:42.today, now working with Conchita Martinez. She is calming and gets

:01:43. > :01:47.her focus really well. I think it really helps Muguruza. She has the

:01:48. > :01:51.game for grass. She does but winning the French Open last year as well.

:01:52. > :01:55.She hasn't been back to the final anywhere since so struggles with

:01:56. > :02:01.extra expectations, more attention. I think it's soon as she comes in

:02:02. > :02:05.here she recognises that her ground strokes, if she can get confidence

:02:06. > :02:14.behind those that had such weapons, big serves us well. Three former

:02:15. > :02:25.finalist in the top half but I still consider that was a huge upset in my

:02:26. > :02:30.opinion when she lost the other day. This draw is wide open. It will all

:02:31. > :02:36.be about who can find the confidence match by match to get better and

:02:37. > :02:45.play their way in, and Wimbledon is just sitting there! Everyone thinks

:02:46. > :02:52.Johanna Konta is going to win. Do you know what she did? She went to a

:02:53. > :02:58.sports psychologist. A lot of players don't want to do that. You

:02:59. > :03:03.have to be vulnerable and search yourself and learn to change and

:03:04. > :03:08.change yourself talk because you are what you think. And I love her for

:03:09. > :03:12.that. She paid the price at the emotional office. It is the

:03:13. > :03:15.emotional strength that makes great champions, not just the mental and

:03:16. > :03:21.physical strength, and that I find at the top of the most important

:03:22. > :03:27.quality. Mental is what you think. It is what you feel. As well, when

:03:28. > :03:34.you are right there in this match point. Explain, what you feel? Am I

:03:35. > :03:38.getting shaky, and my nervous, what is going on? That self-awareness and

:03:39. > :03:43.the awareness of what is happening. The players who are stronger

:03:44. > :03:46.emotionally really truly believe in themselves, you need the inner

:03:47. > :03:51.strength at important times like Federer has it. They believe they

:03:52. > :03:55.can do this, and they stay in the right place in their intensity.

:03:56. > :04:00.There is a nod I think about that you have to keep... I don't know how

:04:01. > :04:03.you feel like this, but I think there is an intensity level that is

:04:04. > :04:08.best for that person and you have to know what is best for you and you

:04:09. > :04:12.are constantly adapting it throughout your match because

:04:13. > :04:16.sometimes you get lulled and have to bring your intensity upon sometimes

:04:17. > :04:25.you had is to run and need to it down. Where do I need to be to play

:04:26. > :04:30.my best? That is what players need to know about themselves. That's

:04:31. > :04:35.what I find listening to players, they cannot get the intensity where

:04:36. > :04:39.they need it, the dial. It is a lot of work in a match. It ebbs and

:04:40. > :04:47.flows in the match player and that is what it is about. Now I know

:04:48. > :04:56.where I went wrong! Where were you in 1976, Billie Jean?! You did just

:04:57. > :05:00.fine! She has played well and even better yesterday and not looking too

:05:01. > :05:05.far ahead. We are trying to push into the final but she is not

:05:06. > :05:09.looking too far ahead. It is the mental training she has done in the

:05:10. > :05:13.last couple of years. It was only three years ago she was outside the

:05:14. > :05:17.top 150 and now it is the mental balance she has found that has

:05:18. > :05:21.changed. I covered her match yesterday and Billie Jean is right,

:05:22. > :05:32.the intensity she has, not so intense that it is bubbling over and

:05:33. > :05:35.she is too nervous and big moments, she can control and manage it.

:05:36. > :05:38.Certain trigger when she goes through, that is the mental training

:05:39. > :05:41.she did, and I believe she wants to win the title but knows she cannot

:05:42. > :05:49.look too far ahead. She knows it is one ball at a time. Players think

:05:50. > :05:53.one point, no, it is one ball. But Shinseki's story is amazing. Four

:05:54. > :05:59.years ago she left the game and worked in a hotel -- but Shinseki.

:06:00. > :06:03.Then she found out she was good enough to go to the French Open and

:06:04. > :06:09.she fell in love with the game against. She was pushed by her

:06:10. > :06:14.parents, particularly her dad, and never love the sport on her own and

:06:15. > :06:19.was ranked 40 in the world. Maybe one and one third round of a major,

:06:20. > :06:24.now she has returned she has the French Open, a terrific coach, she

:06:25. > :06:29.has come back and is in great shape and consistently making a deep run

:06:30. > :06:34.for majors so it is phenomenal. The key, she is playing for herself not

:06:35. > :06:42.anybody else. She says she is loving it again. That is how you win. The

:06:43. > :06:50.great matches we have had here... This is the best, I love it. Tracy

:06:51. > :06:57.is on her way to call this match with David Mercer, all yours, David.

:06:58. > :07:00.COMMENTATOR: Tutor Macca semifinalist at Roland Baros two

:07:01. > :07:11.weeks ago. Up against a former finalist here in Agnieszka

:07:12. > :07:20.Radwanska. Don't know what she is asking the umpire for this one. She

:07:21. > :07:25.was extraordinary, so many injuries that the start of the decade, found

:07:26. > :07:37.herself working in a Swiss hotel learning about the hospitality

:07:38. > :08:38.industry. Agnieszka Radwanska... Short of her best this year.

:08:39. > :09:00.One both her previous matches, Bacsinszky.

:09:01. > :09:08.Got the Bali all wrong there, Radwanska, and straightaway, three

:09:09. > :09:36.break points. -- got the volley all wrong there.

:09:37. > :09:44.That the weaker side for Bacsinszky. Forehand. The backhand a real

:09:45. > :10:27.weapon. Radwanska displaying her defensive

:10:28. > :10:28.skills. She is one of the best movers on the court. Supreme

:10:29. > :10:56.athlete. Radwanska getting that point through

:10:57. > :11:01.placement, and she's all about hitting the ball in a spot that

:11:02. > :11:06.makes it awkward for her opponent. Will not outhit or overpower anyone.

:11:07. > :11:15.The combinations of shots will get the job done.

:11:16. > :11:38.Just a little enquiry about the call, but decided not to challenge.

:11:39. > :11:49.We have seen more of those unforced errors from Radwanska this year.

:11:50. > :11:51.Very stingy with those, particularly coming back from 0-40 in this game.

:11:52. > :12:38.Now facing another break point. Oh, what a glorious rally, ended

:12:39. > :12:46.with a fabulous pass to get the break.

:12:47. > :12:53.It is cat and mouse tennis, isn't it? They are looking for angles and

:12:54. > :12:57.openings, they are not going to bludgeon their way to victory.

:12:58. > :13:01.Getting that point alone you saw three forehand slices which you

:13:02. > :13:05.rarely see these days in tennis. They throw everything at the kitchen

:13:06. > :13:09.is -- but the kitchen sink at each other, different spins, use the

:13:10. > :13:19.length of the court, so often today we just see the whip, left and

:13:20. > :13:24.right. -- the width of the court. Radwanska feels very comfortable to

:13:25. > :13:29.move forward. Some excellent follies, but a couple of good passes

:13:30. > :14:28.therefrom Bacsinszky -- excellent volleys.

:14:29. > :14:41.Interesting to see that last shot choice from Bacsinszky, middle of

:14:42. > :14:42.the court and she chooses to take a backhand. She clearly favours that

:14:43. > :15:57.side. Such a well played point from

:15:58. > :16:01.Radwanska, pulling Bacsinszky left and right with authority. Then a

:16:02. > :16:13.delicate drop shot. That horse was way too far out in

:16:14. > :16:48.front. Right onto the sideline. The

:16:49. > :16:51.backhand can crack it open with one shot, great weight transfer, steps

:16:52. > :17:12.into it. Slipping right underneath the box.

:17:13. > :17:46.He is up on his feet again immediately.

:17:47. > :18:07.So, well executed, great accuracy and length on their shots, and that

:18:08. > :18:29.wanted the job. 23 shots! A strange coincidence, they both

:18:30. > :19:19.came back from 0-40. Now, love that combination,

:19:20. > :19:26.Radwanska with the backhand slice to the forehand of Bacsinszky. Calling

:19:27. > :19:33.upon her to create her own pace of that forehand wing, then had back

:19:34. > :19:36.and the line. -- had backhand up the line. So much variety from

:19:37. > :20:07.Radwanska. Both down 0-40, both get back, and

:20:08. > :20:12.both still lose their serves. I suspect we will see a lot of service

:20:13. > :20:22.breaks two days. Returned very well and both are used to getting their

:20:23. > :21:19.service broken. Great agility, great foot speed.

:21:20. > :21:32.That was very close. Yes, I'm not surprised she is challenging. I'd

:21:33. > :22:06.hate to call it myself. Oh... Write it was. -- correct it was.

:22:07. > :22:15.Oh, it's always special if you get the winner office smash. Bridging

:22:16. > :22:19.ski -- Bacsinszky didn't do much with that overhead and not only is

:22:20. > :22:55.Radwanska fast but she has great anticipation.

:22:56. > :23:05.Oh, dear. Radwanska holds to love and leads to- one. STUDIO: We will

:23:06. > :23:09.stay here on Centre Court at the moment but will round up what has

:23:10. > :23:13.been happening elsewhere, and one result to bring you, Jo-Wilfried

:23:14. > :23:18.Tsonga is out in the continuation of a match stopped because of bad light

:23:19. > :23:22.last night. Tsonga had to serve to stay in the match at 6-5 and

:23:23. > :23:27.couldn't do it so one game played and Sam Querrey goes through.

:23:28. > :23:32.Exactly a repeat of what happened to Tsonga in the French Open when he

:23:33. > :23:38.had to come out the next day and serve to stay in the match and lost

:23:39. > :23:45.that servers well. So a sad sight to see Jo-Wilfried Tsonga go out, but

:23:46. > :23:50.Sam Querrey is through to face Kevin Anderson, another big server. We can

:23:51. > :23:56.quickly update you on a couple of courts, this match is on BBC Two,

:23:57. > :24:01.Gael Monfils has broken back against Adrian Mannarino and Mannarino has

:24:02. > :24:07.just saved a set point. That is on BBC Two. On Court One, last year's

:24:08. > :24:13.runner-up Milos Raonic, 4-4, on serve against Ramos-Vinolas, our

:24:14. > :24:20.featured game on the Red Button. Back we go to Centre Court.

:24:21. > :24:27.COMMENTATOR: So Timea Bacsinszky coming back to serve. With so many

:24:28. > :24:32.British Olympic medallists in the Royal box, this is another Olympic

:24:33. > :24:38.medallist, she won silver in the women's doubles in Rio in

:24:39. > :25:31.partnership with Martina Hingis. Lost to the Russians.

:25:32. > :25:40.Just left a lovely play. So in control of this point, got

:25:41. > :25:48.Bacsinszky forward, then lobbed volley, back you go. So important

:25:49. > :25:49.for Radwanska to have her old racket that. It's like a magic wand for

:25:50. > :26:10.her. -- old racket back. It's painted black, the racket,

:26:11. > :26:13.because of course she is under contract to a different

:26:14. > :26:14.manufacturer. They cannot possibly have the sponsor's logo of the old

:26:15. > :26:26.racket. I was reading in the morning papers

:26:27. > :26:31.that Rory McIlroy is struggling to get used to a new set of golf clubs

:26:32. > :26:34.because his previous sponsor of course no longer makes golf club is.

:26:35. > :26:38.That is the one thing I don't think you can make a concession to, no

:26:39. > :27:01.matter how much they pay you. Clothes, shoes...

:27:02. > :27:07.Did you play with the same racket throughout your career? That's an

:27:08. > :27:13.interesting story. I did change but the markings and the colouring and

:27:14. > :27:15.everything was just like my old racket so when I took it back it

:27:16. > :28:01.felt very similar. Radwanska picking and plotting and

:28:02. > :28:36.really building the point, then hitting this approach very early.

:28:37. > :28:45.Must be an absolute relief if he finally break down the Radwanska

:28:46. > :28:49.defences. Hope for Bacsinszky to take that one on the rise, send the

:28:50. > :29:08.message that she will always be able to throw off that lob.

:29:09. > :29:17.Such a huge disparity in speed between the backhand of Bacsinszky

:29:18. > :29:22.and the forehand. That is Bacsinszky's coach. A huge reason

:29:23. > :29:43.why she has got to the elite part of the game.

:29:44. > :29:50.Oh, a corrected call by the line judge. And his correction is now

:29:51. > :30:01.being challenged by Bacsinszky. But he was right. He corrected

:30:02. > :30:12.himself. They will have to replay the point.

:30:13. > :30:30.One challenge left and just the fourth game.

:30:31. > :30:44.Come on, she deserves the clap for winning that game. Saving the break

:30:45. > :30:45.point. Eastern face. A hold each. Already the first four games have

:30:46. > :31:40.taken 22 minutes. So much crafting these shots. So

:31:41. > :32:26.much thinking. I can make it awkward for my opponent.

:32:27. > :32:37.Unusual unforced errors from Bacsinszky. I do not know a player

:32:38. > :32:49.on Tour that runs around their forehand more than Bacsinszky does.

:32:50. > :32:54.When you have the backhand like that, it makes sense. Much more

:32:55. > :33:25.technically sound than the forehand. That is a rare really poor shot from

:33:26. > :33:40.Radwanska. It caught the net max. You are being generous. Break point.

:33:41. > :33:56.Bacsinszky breaks again. That gets the clap.

:33:57. > :34:04.One or two unforced errors have been flown in from both of them.

:34:05. > :34:08.Radwanska, not the most important moment of her year, she is getting

:34:09. > :34:12.married in a few months, that will be the equivalent of a royal wedding

:34:13. > :34:20.in Poland because she is huge in Poland. The man in the white cap in

:34:21. > :34:26.the middle is her fiance. The gentleman leaning forward with the

:34:27. > :34:36.beard is hard physio whose name is utterly unpronounceable! How coaches

:34:37. > :34:43.on the left. -- her coach. I can just about get my tongue around her

:34:44. > :34:52.current's name. Her fiance started as hard-hitting partner. It is a big

:34:53. > :34:59.moment. More things to deal with this year for anger, the racket

:35:00. > :35:04.change and the right foot, missed a few tournaments in the clay-court

:35:05. > :35:09.season. Just has not had the solid same season. She ranked in the top

:35:10. > :35:52.ten consistently for the past six years. Number 10.

:35:53. > :36:09.Again, close call. Radwanska decides to go to Hawk-Eye this time. Wisely.

:36:10. > :36:55.Replay the point. Not enough on the return. Radwanska

:36:56. > :37:00.the middle of the court that up. A couple of backhand is later and she

:37:01. > :37:48.unloads at a beautiful angle. That grip is so western. You might

:37:49. > :37:52.even call it how iron. Hit the line. What happens when it hit backs the

:37:53. > :37:58.line it grips a little on the titanium that marks the court and

:37:59. > :38:03.stops... Quite often you see a player missed by me at or swinging

:38:04. > :38:27.too early. I guess we have to say that was an ace.

:38:28. > :38:50.Bacsinszky really starting to look comfortable on the squad. Has not

:38:51. > :38:53.played nearly as many matches on Centre Court, it can be

:38:54. > :38:57.intimidating. Radwanska was a finalist here in 2012. Other times

:38:58. > :39:16.the semifinalist. Radwanska immediately try something

:39:17. > :39:23.different, moves forward, because she is struggling to get the

:39:24. > :39:24.firepower. She definitely needs to get maudlin down her shot s,

:39:25. > :41:07.Radwanska. Radwanska's younger sister has

:41:08. > :41:13.played on the Tour but has been affected by injuries many times. I

:41:14. > :41:20.often think when I watch Aga playing, in my very younger days

:41:21. > :41:24.when I was playing tennis I used to play against the garage door run the

:41:25. > :41:31.ball keeps coming back, many people have a practice draw at their club,

:41:32. > :41:37.and she reminds me of that, because it keeps coming back against her.

:41:38. > :41:44.That is because of her defensive ability, or anticipation. She has

:41:45. > :41:58.quick feet. Soft hands. This ability to place the ball. In the right

:41:59. > :42:06.spot. High tennis IQ. Usually comes up with the rate shot at the right

:42:07. > :42:13.time. Knows her capabilities. The roof has stayed mercifully shut the

:42:14. > :42:19.role... Open, I should say, apart from the briefest of periods on

:42:20. > :42:20.Monday. Let us hope that continues to be the case in the second week.

:42:21. > :42:50.New balls. That is the most powerful shot on

:42:51. > :43:39.the court. Drive through the ball very flat.

:43:40. > :43:51.Really important game for Bacsinszky. She has the momentum.

:43:52. > :44:04.She is hitting with confidence. She cannot have a concentration lapse on

:44:05. > :44:13.her own serve. Wobbled a little bit in the smash earlier, she will be

:44:14. > :44:20.guide to have got that one away. That's the coach. So important in

:44:21. > :45:00.her comeback. Solid hold. Bad well-documented

:45:01. > :45:06.story how Bacsinszky was out for most of the Max seasons with various

:45:07. > :45:09.injuries and got the automated email to come and play the French

:45:10. > :45:13.qualifying and went back and played and decided she was going to play

:45:14. > :45:18.for herself, she was enjoying it again, passionate again, this coach

:45:19. > :45:30.made her believe she can get to the top of the game.

:45:31. > :45:41.Pausing in the corner. Makes all the difference in the world. She also

:45:42. > :45:46.discovered it was rather better than being a Hotel receptionist, which is

:45:47. > :45:47.what you was doing. Certainly the peers better. ?90,000 forgetting

:45:48. > :46:10.thus far. Her first career, as she calls it,

:46:11. > :46:15.getting to number 40 in the world, meeting it to the stage in a major

:46:16. > :46:16.only once. Since coming back it has been eked times. Such a better

:46:17. > :46:38.player. It is a total change. You were one

:46:39. > :46:39.of their teenage Feeney and it seems players reach their best when they

:46:40. > :47:31.are plus 30. Bacsinszky challenges the call. She

:47:32. > :47:45.better be right because if not she has got no more challenges left.

:47:46. > :48:01.Bacsinszky has no challenges remaining.

:48:02. > :48:07.Of course we saw with Fabio Fognini last night, he was out of challenges

:48:08. > :48:14.and he stopped playing, thinking I am going to challenge. Tough. A

:48:15. > :48:34.crucial moment against Andy Murray. Loose points for Radwanska. The

:48:35. > :49:00.chance of set point. Made it. Bacsinszky has the first

:49:01. > :49:21.set after 41 minutes. Yes, big celebration from Bacsinszky

:49:22. > :49:29.to take the opening set on Centre Court. We can show you what is

:49:30. > :49:35.happening elsewhere. Court Two, Angelique Kerber is in trouble.

:49:36. > :49:46.Shelby Rogers 4-3 up and serving against the world number one. That

:49:47. > :49:52.is on BBC Two. Court One, me was Raonic has taken the first set on

:49:53. > :49:56.the tie-break 7-3 and he has just broken. Last year's runner-up is

:49:57. > :50:08.going well. That is on the red button. Gael Monfils dropped the

:50:09. > :50:11.first set in the tie-break 7-3 to his fellow Frenchman. That is on the

:50:12. > :50:23.red button and the BBC Sport website. This one is on the red

:50:24. > :50:29.button and the BBC Sport website, the player coached by Pat Cash. She

:50:30. > :50:42.has such a big game, so good on the grass. She is in control. Back to

:50:43. > :50:46.Centre Court. The scoreboard outside Centre Court in the southern side of

:50:47. > :50:52.the grounds confirming that Bacsinszky, the 19th feed, as the

:50:53. > :51:24.first set against the ninth seed. Radwanska is going to have to up the

:51:25. > :51:29.level of her play. She is just not able to get Bacsinszky off balance

:51:30. > :51:37.enough. She tried to be disruptive with the different slices but she's

:51:38. > :51:40.really dialled them now. The returns have not had enough sting or depth

:51:41. > :52:18.from Radwanska. Too many of those. Radwanska has not

:52:19. > :52:37.had a lot of winners but she has very low count for mistakes.

:52:38. > :52:47.Another magnificent backhand and it is a love service game for their

:52:48. > :52:52.Swiss to start the second set. The key to me when you are showing

:52:53. > :53:02.unforced errors, you have to show the winners as well because

:53:03. > :53:11.Bacsinszky is plus four on winners to unforced errors. Plus four or

:53:12. > :53:22.-4-mac equals a differential of two games. Lost the last three games,

:53:23. > :54:00.Radwanska, need this one. Normally you might ask if she had to

:54:01. > :54:04.go for the line but then you remember who she is playing against

:54:05. > :54:30.and you feel you have to go for the line to hit a clean winner.

:54:31. > :54:39.Bacsinszky in the forehand corner playing backhands. So much more

:54:40. > :55:07.offences. I would like to see Radwanska hit it

:55:08. > :55:12.early like that, try someone approaches forward. Got to Jane

:55:13. > :55:45.something. The key in tennis is to rush your

:55:46. > :55:48.opponent and if you cannot hit extra hard try to hit it early. It gets

:55:49. > :56:18.the same effect. The first double fault of the match.

:56:19. > :56:23.Radwanska's third of the Championships. This is her third

:56:24. > :56:38.match. Thomas, coach, a little nervous.

:56:39. > :56:47.Very subtle, but that is a big point to hold. Trying to stop the momentum

:56:48. > :57:09.of Bacsinszky, and that is a free right there. A gift from Radwanska.

:57:10. > :57:21.Lovely skills again. So fun to watch. Taking all of the pace out of

:57:22. > :58:01.the drop volley. Graceful athlete. 72 mph second serve punished. Eight

:58:02. > :58:09.tenths back and clean winner of the match. All the way to the front

:58:10. > :59:09.foot. Coming through the body, through the legs.

:59:10. > :59:18.The third deuce of the game making this the longest game of the match

:59:19. > :59:22.so far. First serve crucial here. Radwanska making four of 11. She

:59:23. > :59:43.throws in a second serve. There is that anticipation you were

:59:44. > :59:49.talking about. It is moving at exactly the right moment. She holds

:59:50. > :00:30.it. Until Bacsinszky commits, and then she moves to her left.

:00:31. > :00:40.The timing and the balance, everything is just so much better on

:00:41. > :00:53.that backhand side. For Bacsinszky, the commitment and confidence as

:00:54. > :00:54.well. Getting up towards seven and a half minutes for this game so far.

:00:55. > :01:15.We are back in deuce. With that extreme forehand grip of

:01:16. > :01:22.Bacsinszky, so difficult to whip it offer very low ball, so that is a

:01:23. > :02:09.good approach from Radwanska. A little bit of slice.

:02:10. > :02:22.Had to work hard for it before, it was an important game, just to slow

:02:23. > :02:25.her down, Bacsinszky. Great scrambling from Radwanska, it is

:02:26. > :02:49.what she is so good at, keeping that point alive. Testing her opponent.

:02:50. > :02:56.Radwanska was a set down in the previous round. Two match points

:02:57. > :03:21.down in the second set tie-break, but came out on top in the end.

:03:22. > :03:29.Much better return. Just had something on it, too many of these

:03:30. > :03:32.returns have been sitting in the middle of the court, Bacsinszky can

:03:33. > :04:26.start taking control of the point. Boots! She has a wasp, or B.

:04:27. > :04:27.Hopefully not flying ant. Enough of those the other day for the whole

:04:28. > :05:02.year, I think. Two break points now for Radwanska.

:05:03. > :05:07.Radwanska 16 421 when coming forward. I like that ratio. Needs to

:05:08. > :05:35.look for that more frequently -- 16-21.

:05:36. > :05:41.There is the break, and Radwanska takes the lead in the second set to-

:05:42. > :05:59.one. Talking of flying ants, I feel sorry

:06:00. > :06:06.for the fellas because they take off to mate, then they made, and the

:06:07. > :06:12.guys die and the girls burrowing new nest and read a new generation, but

:06:13. > :06:17.a moment of pleasure and then goodbye! You are bringing all sorts

:06:18. > :06:23.of things to this match! By the way, I don't know if we have ants in the

:06:24. > :06:32.United States, I was looking about the other day. You just have

:06:33. > :06:36.rattlesnakes and alligators! I think one of the nice things about the

:06:37. > :06:43.women's game at the moment, we saw the Johanna Konta match was

:06:44. > :06:50.brilliant, big hitting. This is a subtler affair, gentler flavours,

:06:51. > :06:54.greater variety of play. Yes, I love that. Tennis has everything right

:06:55. > :07:06.now from so many different countries, so many different ages.

:07:07. > :07:07.Players in the mid-20s, Victoria Azarenka coming back, Venus

:07:08. > :07:23.Williams, 37. Lots of variety. 2-1, second set, having lost the

:07:24. > :07:57.first. She knew as soon as she had hinted

:07:58. > :08:33.it was never going to get over the net.

:08:34. > :08:42.That subtle drop shot Miss on the second point. That is a lot due to

:08:43. > :08:46.lack of confidence. Look at Radwanska's record here, just 13 in

:08:47. > :09:09.ten. For someone of her stature that is an astounding record.

:09:10. > :09:18.And halfway through the year, she is still ranked tenth in the world. On

:09:19. > :09:25.the road to Singapore, that is the basis of your ranking from January

:09:26. > :09:31.one of this year, and it is 40. Yes, Bacsinszky 19 in that department.

:09:32. > :09:39.The race to Singapore, to determine the top eight. The equivalent of the

:09:40. > :09:50.ATP Tour world finals that we have here in London at the O2 arena.

:09:51. > :10:20.Even the coaches have patches these days! For sponsors.

:10:21. > :10:31.Don't play the drop shot to the backhand! Playing to the well just a

:10:32. > :10:35.little too frequently. But Shinseki is off the mark quickly there. --

:10:36. > :11:07.Bacsinszky is off the mark. The chance to break back

:11:08. > :11:48.immediately, then. Radwanska trying to get Bacsinszky

:11:49. > :11:58.off-balance on that forehand. Got that one deep enough. Bacsinszky hip

:11:59. > :12:00.point on the forehand isn't as much out front and on her front foot as

:12:01. > :12:17.the backhand side. That's an example right there of

:12:18. > :12:21.using the whole court. Had she got the ball deep and Radwanska got it

:12:22. > :13:08.back... Once again, Radwanska having a real

:13:09. > :13:10.struggle to hold serve. Four deuces in her last service game, three now

:13:11. > :13:58.in this one. Radwanska smart to serve that second

:13:59. > :14:19.serve to the forehand of Bacsinszky. You cannot punish that side as much.

:14:20. > :14:22.Again, working really hard but managing to hold, and it is three

:14:23. > :14:42.games in a row for Radwanska. Thought that was one of the reasons

:14:43. > :14:46.the Azarenka- Watson match turned around yesterday that she started to

:14:47. > :14:51.attack Heather's forehand more in the second set. Getting more

:14:52. > :15:15.aggressive as well, but targeted on the other side.

:15:16. > :15:26.That is great racket work from Bacsinszky there. It was very low.

:15:27. > :15:28.Just got underneath it, up with Justin up top-spin to create the

:15:29. > :16:04.angle -- just enough top-spin. I thought for a moment she had made

:16:05. > :16:12.a mistake by going back to where Radwanska was but because it is such

:16:13. > :16:14.a short angle it was good enough. This soft on grass, it doesn't come

:16:15. > :16:50.through the court. It stopped. Oh! It is glorious to see this

:16:51. > :16:56.backhand in full flight. It just meant at the last second it was a

:16:57. > :18:02.little late, then quickly got that bracket through with the left hand.

:18:03. > :18:13.So Bacsinszky holds but Radwanska lead 3-2 with the break, second set.

:18:14. > :18:16.STUDIO: So little between these two on Centre Court. We will be back

:18:17. > :18:22.with this one but we are just going to drop in on court 12. This

:18:23. > :18:27.happened a short time ago, Gael Monfils, a great entertainer, every

:18:28. > :18:36.shot in the book, what about this? He hits a winner. Shall we call it

:18:37. > :18:41.the turnaround shot? That was a while ago. He broke serve in that

:18:42. > :18:47.game and has now battled serve in the second set so 4-4 but Mannarino

:18:48. > :18:51.having taken the first. That matches on the Red Button on the BBC Sport

:18:52. > :18:57.website. He is still smiling out there. It is on court 12. Here, we

:18:58. > :19:06.are heading back to this one. COMMENTATOR: Very much involved in

:19:07. > :19:24.this second set, Bacsinszky. Just the one break behind.

:19:25. > :19:31.These lovely images from our super slow camera. Beautifully

:19:32. > :19:43.illustrating their how she takes that backhand out in front of her.

:19:44. > :19:53.LAUGHTER. They've been watching too many flying ants! Thank you, ready

:19:54. > :20:10.to play, please, ladies and gentlemen.

:20:11. > :20:21.3-2, Radwanska serving but a set down.

:20:22. > :20:36.No doubt who is the more solid overhead. Solid in the forecourt, as

:20:37. > :21:39.well, with her volleys but also in her positioning up there, Radwanska.

:21:40. > :21:49.Another of those awkward bounces off the line. Just stops, titanium

:21:50. > :22:22.pigment. These days, not chalk. Dangerous going into the backhand

:22:23. > :22:38.side. So confident, so accurate. Anywhere on that wing.

:22:39. > :22:51.From 30-0 to 30-40, and another break back chance.

:22:52. > :23:05.This needs to be a first serve and go to the forehand here.

:23:06. > :23:17.Approach to the forehand much better. Well, Bacsinszky

:23:18. > :23:23.challenging, but I reckon detainee pigment flew up! Doesn't quite have

:23:24. > :23:30.the same ring as the famous Johnny Mac outburst. Nobody can argue with

:23:31. > :23:50.Hawk-Eye. Do you think John would have tried

:23:51. > :23:56.to argue with Hawk-Eye? Remember we had the old cyclops machine that

:23:57. > :24:02.used to call the service line only. The Stasi got down on both knees

:24:03. > :24:08.aren't prodded distant declared, made in Russia, it's lying it wasn't

:24:09. > :24:15.very good. Oh, that wasn't very good -- implying it wasn't very good.

:24:16. > :24:24.That opportunity could be very costly, could go for- two in the

:24:25. > :24:32.second set. Every Radwanska service game in this set has been a deuce

:24:33. > :25:10.game and deuce game. -- aid multiple deuce game.

:25:11. > :25:17.Radwanska uses her legs so well to absorb the pace. These punishing

:25:18. > :25:59.ground strokes coming at her. The support camp of Radwanska or

:26:00. > :26:06.standing up. She is playing much more aggression, more offensive

:26:07. > :26:08.minded, and this is very tough to time. Ball coming at you with a lot

:26:09. > :26:55.of pace, and just a dropped shot. Oh, Radwanska, you turned that point

:26:56. > :27:09.around with the little lob around the backhand wing.

:27:10. > :27:33.If you wonder whether Bacsinszky name comes from, her parents are

:27:34. > :27:42.Hungarian. Just like Johanna Konta. We could have an all Hungarian

:27:43. > :27:49.final! Certainly wide open, the draw. That bottom half looks a

:27:50. > :28:03.little stronger to me, Stepanenko, Konta, Azarenka, Halep. Love game

:28:04. > :28:12.for Bacsinszky as she continues to stay in touch. The lead is down to

:28:13. > :28:17.4-3. STUDIO: And we will be back on Centre Court in a moment but a lot

:28:18. > :28:25.is happening elsewhere, and on the outside courts, Court number three,

:28:26. > :28:32.CoCo Vandeweghe of the United States, the 24th seed outhit Alison

:28:33. > :28:36.Riske her countrywoman 6-2, 6-4. Big serve and forehand, obviously good

:28:37. > :28:41.friends. She is through and her coach will be delighted with that.

:28:42. > :28:47.She is through to the second week of the Championships. Very popular on

:28:48. > :29:00.all. And Petra Martic of Croatia has come through against a Zarina Diyas,

:29:01. > :29:04.76, six one. Martic of Croatia is through to the second week of

:29:05. > :29:11.Wimbledon. Big smiles out on court 18. We can update you on what is

:29:12. > :29:15.happening on court two, number one seed Angelique Kerber was a break

:29:16. > :29:19.down in the second set having lost the opening set to Shelby Rogers.

:29:20. > :29:27.She has just broken back and if you want to watch that match, it is on

:29:28. > :29:40.BBC Two. But here, we are heading back to Centre COMMENTATOR:

:29:41. > :29:47.Bacsinszky has had the trainer out just puts on tape over her right

:29:48. > :29:51.angle -- ankle. You can see that little bit of brown tape over the

:29:52. > :29:59.sock. I don't think it is anything of any great significance. Radwanska

:30:00. > :30:31.serving with new balls. Makes it look so easy, picking up a

:30:32. > :30:41.bit of grass. One two divots coming up. The shoes create divots. If the

:30:42. > :30:50.ball hits that, it will have a very uneven bounce.

:30:51. > :31:03.It has been so hot. The grass has taken a beating. That is why it

:31:04. > :31:16.needs a day off tomorrow. It will be a day off for the ground staff.

:31:17. > :31:33.Another one. Yes, smiles all round in the crowd. Both players move so

:31:34. > :31:39.well. Such an are set to be able to hit an offensive shot in a defensive

:31:40. > :32:15.position. That little applause from Radwanska.

:32:16. > :32:35.The crowd really enjoying this contest. It is not just about power,

:32:36. > :32:41.it is about exploiting the other player's weaknesses, movement.

:32:42. > :32:54.Trying to get the point through disruption. Radwanska has been to

:32:55. > :32:58.the net on 31 points and won 22 of them. Surely the secret of success

:32:59. > :34:06.for her. Such a difference if she can get the

:34:07. > :34:17.ball to Bacsinszky's forehand. Extreme winners off of the backhand.

:34:18. > :34:55.Serving to stay in the second set. Brilliant bit of fielding.

:34:56. > :35:00.The first ace of the match for Bacsinszky. Only her fourth of the

:35:01. > :35:44.Championships. Cannot save Radwanska. How many

:35:45. > :35:47.times do we see Radwanska in a defensive position? She gets that

:35:48. > :36:26.lob up so close to the baseline and restarts the point.

:36:27. > :36:32.That was a Radwanska point of view have ever seen one. Get in trouble

:36:33. > :36:34.on the return and just dropped it Andrew Bacsinszky forward and then

:36:35. > :36:59.the lob. Measures it perfectly. A squeal from Bacsinszky. She keeps

:37:00. > :37:11.the second set life and forces Radwanska...

:37:12. > :37:19.It is that old serve it out question. Can you serve it out? She

:37:20. > :37:28.has had the schemes on her set, Radwanska. Bacsinszky has had two

:37:29. > :37:35.chances to break back. Point by point, is that the old cliche?

:37:36. > :37:40.Absolutely. If it is anybody who needs to get first serves in it is

:37:41. > :37:44.Radwanska. She does not have the pace on the second serve and it is

:37:45. > :37:58.so adaptable. She usually gets a high number of her first serves in.

:37:59. > :38:04.The second serve is 45%. Often times it is also her accuracy on the first

:38:05. > :38:08.serve. Mixing it up to the different sports, getting close lines.

:38:09. > :38:18.Badlands guy has the natural slice which is effective on the grass. She

:38:19. > :38:19.needs to stay aggressive minded. Trying to serve their second set

:38:20. > :39:08.out. The instant apology from Bacsinszky.

:39:09. > :39:13.That was a totally mis-hit drive volley. Sometimes the mis-hits on

:39:14. > :39:44.grass can be the most effective. Bacsinszky challenging the call. The

:39:45. > :39:52.ball was called in. Absolutely crucial, this. It did just find the

:39:53. > :39:58.sideline. Bacsinszky has one challenge remaining. It would not

:39:59. > :40:09.have been an easy smash for Radwanska. Got the serve to the

:40:10. > :40:57.forehand and got the cheap point. Rather gifting this game away.

:40:58. > :41:20.Radwanska has two said points to level the match.

:41:21. > :41:28.It is one set all after an hour and 33 minutes. Radwanska wins the

:41:29. > :41:54.second set 6-4. All to play for on Centre Court. We

:41:55. > :42:03.will be right back with it. Milos Raonic 2-0 set up. That is the

:42:04. > :42:11.feature match on the red button. Last year's finalist going well.

:42:12. > :42:16.Shelby Rogers of the United States is the second break up against the

:42:17. > :42:23.player in your picture, the top seed, Angelique Kerber. She has

:42:24. > :42:33.broken back. Rogers has a point to take this into a second set

:42:34. > :42:39.tie-break. That is on BBC Two. Henman Hill is very busy once again.

:42:40. > :42:43.A wonderful order of play on Centre Court. Following this match there is

:42:44. > :42:48.Novak Djokovic and then Roger Federer. We have been spoiled with

:42:49. > :42:53.the weather. We have only had a little bit of drizzle. Play going on

:42:54. > :42:58.on all of the courts. The junior events are getting under way and the

:42:59. > :43:03.doubles. A lot to get through. A busy schedule for the tournament

:43:04. > :43:06.referees. Lovely scenes at Wimbledon, everybody enjoying the

:43:07. > :43:16.weather and the tennis. Let us rejoin Centre Court.

:43:17. > :43:32.One set all. Bacsinszky has asked for the trainer to return. Right on

:43:33. > :43:43.cue. Is it still the right ankle? Feeling a little bit in the thighs.

:43:44. > :43:48.So much demand on the lower body to get lower on this surface to absorb

:43:49. > :43:56.the power and be ready for an awkward bounce, uneven bounce. The

:43:57. > :44:04.first couple of days of practice you are extra so. In the glutes and in

:44:05. > :44:09.the thighs. Can I play devil's advocate? If somebody turns an ankle

:44:10. > :44:15.or has an injury, I am not talking something horrendous, it seems to me

:44:16. > :44:21.fair enough, but if you are a bit tired in your glutes, why should you

:44:22. > :44:26.be allowed to have the trainer? Isn't your physical preparation and

:44:27. > :44:30.how strong you are part of the game? There used to be a rule in place

:44:31. > :44:36.that if you had cramps you could not get treated. Bacsinszky will say

:44:37. > :44:45.that this is a strain on so she will probably want to get some tape on it

:44:46. > :44:52.to give it some support. Radwanska will go out and stay warm, Steelers.

:44:53. > :45:01.Get a few serves. She played a phenomenal second set. She employed

:45:02. > :45:09.some better tactics. More offensive, ten winners as opposed to five the

:45:10. > :45:16.--s. Coming to the net every opportunity. Her court positioning

:45:17. > :45:22.was better. Aga has such good hands, she is able to absorb the base.

:45:23. > :45:32.Bacsinszky is receiving medical treatment. She has three minutes to

:45:33. > :45:42.treat. The umpire says this period has started. A little bit of

:45:43. > :45:49.bandaging is going on. First the spray goes on, it is sticky so what

:45:50. > :45:58.comes next will stick. I can always remember even at Roland Garros

:45:59. > :46:02.playing Mary Pierce had some treatment and got one of the ball

:46:03. > :46:07.boys out and had a little hit. The French crowd loved it. Suddenly the

:46:08. > :46:17.French favourite was no longer the code's favourite. Mary is here.

:46:18. > :46:31.Trevor McDonald. He loves his sport. He was at Lord's rhythm of the

:46:32. > :46:38.cricket. Merry here working for our colleagues on BBC Radio 5 live with

:46:39. > :46:48.her excellent commentary team. I was listening to them on the Andy Murray

:46:49. > :47:03.much driving home last night. Lord King. The governor of the Bank of

:47:04. > :47:18.England, former. Yes, a cross between water poll and tennis. I

:47:19. > :47:24.think they want to be on TV! I am told... I have never played it, I am

:47:25. > :47:28.told water polo is absolutely vicious, there is a lot goes on

:47:29. > :47:33.under the water. That you cannot see. Imagine trying to stay afloat

:47:34. > :47:41.for 45 minutes or an error with people pulling on you or scratching

:47:42. > :47:51.you. The last bit of tape goes around Bacsinszky's leg. Some going

:47:52. > :47:56.on the front portion of the thigh, the crisscross version, to try to

:47:57. > :48:05.unload where she feels a bit of a strain. Both players played just one

:48:06. > :48:12.grass court prep tournament, losing in their opening-round in

:48:13. > :48:16.Eastbourne. A couple of tablets for Bacsinszky. Playing their way into

:48:17. > :48:23.this tournament into form, Bacsinszky getting into the

:48:24. > :48:37.semi-finals of the French Open. That is more appropriate at where.

:48:38. > :48:57.You see a delay of 7.5 minutes. Will that have affected Radwanska's

:48:58. > :49:34.rhythm? Really tough to pick here because

:49:35. > :49:38.they have played twice, Bacsinszky has won twice, both on hard courts.

:49:39. > :49:44.Radwanska has had the better results at Wimbledon. Semifinalist a couple

:49:45. > :51:20.of times and finalist ones. So accurate with that backhand. In

:51:21. > :52:01.early take-back, great transfer, and coils the shoulders and hips.

:52:02. > :52:16.Three slices in a row. You will not see that on any other surface. This

:52:17. > :52:17.surface is so low. A chance for Radwanska to break straightaway in

:52:18. > :53:18.this deciding set. A huge screen from rats --

:53:19. > :53:24.Bacsinszky. A huge point, especially for Bacsinszky. Slices turning the

:53:25. > :53:28.demand on the left side. Getting down time and again. 27 shot rally.

:53:29. > :53:54.The longest of the match. Not up, surely. Double bounce. You

:53:55. > :53:59.have a frame, you might as well use it. There was not much string on

:54:00. > :54:31.that last shot of Bacsinszky. Need off of the end of the racket.

:54:32. > :55:19.A second break point. Much better returning from Radwanska in the

:55:20. > :55:22.second set and into the third, compared to the first. Hitting with

:55:23. > :55:52.more conviction. Radwanska gets the perfect start to

:55:53. > :56:15.the final set. The coach on the left will be

:56:16. > :56:20.thrilled and fiance in the wet -- whitecaps. Radwanska is beginning to

:56:21. > :56:26.wear down Bacsinszky mentally and physically. It is like going against

:56:27. > :56:35.a wall, it is so tough coming up with winners against her.

:56:36. > :56:38.Consistent. She will hit hard, fast and low and throw in a slice. Deep

:56:39. > :57:11.and then short. The ball came much slower than she

:57:12. > :57:27.thought. I do not think she was saying what a nice afternoon it is!

:57:28. > :57:42.I do not think it was any of the four official Swiss languages,

:57:43. > :57:51.French, German, Italian, Raman. Roger can speak all four. She better

:57:52. > :57:52.get her focus back. That is two backhands from a neutral position in

:57:53. > :58:20.the court in the net. Just a little lull, you sense, in

:58:21. > :58:25.the match, it sometimes happens with a long match, the start of a new

:58:26. > :58:28.set. It is like rebooting your computer. So it is running perfectly

:58:29. > :58:52.again. The best and the best there are no

:58:53. > :59:03.lulls or the art short, they recognise it and get back to work. I

:59:04. > :59:13.doubt Roger has had a lull in many of his matches. That is incredible.

:59:14. > :59:30.Could anybody else hit that shot? This is just knowing what you are

:59:31. > :59:36.capable of unjust that the last second she was late so she

:59:37. > :00:00.improvised. Yes, got so much side spin on the ball. Final set.

:00:01. > :00:16.And the body language reflects that, getting very frustrated with

:00:17. > :00:50.herself. She stole that point. The overhead

:00:51. > :00:55.of Bacsinszky has not been good all match, and another one is missed.

:00:56. > :01:04.But she had the easy put away ball and did nothing with it. 0- two,

:01:05. > :01:12.0-30. This is crisis time for the Swiss.

:01:13. > :01:21.This is what Radwanska will do - she will get so many balls back and

:01:22. > :01:28.play, start to extract the errors, her opponent. To overplay and get

:01:29. > :02:01.frustrated. -- her opponent will start to overplay.

:02:02. > :02:14.Oh, another one! The break of serve to love. And the odds-on Radwanska

:02:15. > :02:35.are shortening by the second. She has just gotten under the skin

:02:36. > :02:43.of Bacsinszky. She has gotten in her mind on these overheads. She let

:02:44. > :02:52.that one drop too low, overthinking it now. So much fun to watch

:02:53. > :02:57.Radwanska, because she has worked her way into this match, fought her

:02:58. > :03:04.way out of that second set. It was a couple of years ago that Andy Murray

:03:05. > :03:06.said that he loved to watch Radwanska play because of her

:03:07. > :03:13.intelligence, because of her variety. Andy uses a lot of the same

:03:14. > :03:19.shots. The backhand slice in particular. He uses the one hand,

:03:20. > :03:23.just as Radwanska does. Change pace to draw the opponent forward where

:03:24. > :03:30.they don't feel comfortable, moving into the forecourt. Then the odd

:03:31. > :03:36.drop shot. Great defensive skills. They would make a good mixed doubles

:03:37. > :03:37.team, wouldn't they? You were a mixed doubles champion here with

:03:38. > :03:55.your brother, of course. All was a little delay after three

:03:56. > :04:21.games, because you are not allowed back in after the first game of set.

:04:22. > :04:31.67 mph second serve. Served one at 63, I can tell you, against Kristyna

:04:32. > :05:24.McHale. Excellent timing and footwork. To

:05:25. > :06:06.get the right spacing between you and the ball.

:06:07. > :06:09.No, getting desperate. Trying to come up with the almost impossible

:06:10. > :06:49.shots. Five games in a row for Radwanska.

:06:50. > :06:53.As we come up towards the two-hour mark, one player now totally in

:06:54. > :06:58.command. Really impressive, the weather Radwanska has been able to

:06:59. > :07:12.turn this match around. She was outhit completely in the first set.

:07:13. > :07:22.Radwanska starting to get more depth on her shots, using the slice more

:07:23. > :07:44.effectively, started playing the Bacsinszky forehand more frequently.

:07:45. > :07:50.When you look at Radwanska's results, it's at Wimbledon that she

:07:51. > :07:56.has had their best results by far in any of the majors. The US Open, she

:07:57. > :08:05.has only been to the fourth round. Never even to the quarterfinals.

:08:06. > :08:18.Did she make that? UMPIRE: Miss Radwanska challenges the call. The

:08:19. > :08:27.ball was called in. It is at the far end from us. Oh, that is missed by a

:08:28. > :08:33.country mile. Not a good call. She has hardly hit a smash in court all

:08:34. > :09:01.match. One, I think. We reach the two-hour mark.

:09:02. > :09:11.For Bacsinszky, I'm afraid, the end is nigh. Great competitor. She will

:09:12. > :09:16.never give up, Bacsinszky, and she will try to problem solve, but

:09:17. > :09:18.Radwanska seems to have all the answers, the consistency, terrific

:09:19. > :09:31.movement today. That is getting through perhaps on

:09:32. > :09:54.one of those divots. And almost certainly now, Radwanska

:09:55. > :10:01.looking at a fourth-round encounter against two-time Grand Slam champion

:10:02. > :10:07.Svetlana Kuznetsova, who has won both the French and US Opens in her

:10:08. > :10:14.career. And that will be a contrast, because Kuznetsova will have the

:10:15. > :10:17.power. Two reasons why grass really suits Agnieszka Radwanska - one, she

:10:18. > :10:24.is able to use that power against her opponent. And second, because

:10:25. > :10:31.she has the subtle skills with a little slice that keeps the ball low

:10:32. > :10:38.on a grass court... Absolutely, that ability to improvise. Such great

:10:39. > :10:47.hand skills. And her serve as that bit of slice to move through the

:10:48. > :10:50.court. You know, Radwanska, at 28 years old, has always been one of

:10:51. > :11:00.those players you feel like, can she break through and win a major? Well,

:11:01. > :11:19.this would be it, a wide-open drawl. -- a wide-open draw.

:11:20. > :11:26.Oh, perfect! I love the little pop from Radwanska after she played that

:11:27. > :11:44.drop shot, encouraging it to go over the net.

:11:45. > :11:55.Absolutely flying now, Agnieszka Radwanska. That's the best I think

:11:56. > :12:02.that she has played all year. The finals of Sydney at the beginning of

:12:03. > :12:18.the year, not much -- improved much since then.

:12:19. > :12:28.Always a little bit of a let down when a third set goes very rapidly

:12:29. > :12:31.after to make very competitive sets. All credit to Radwanska for taking

:12:32. > :13:35.this match by the scruff of the neck.

:13:36. > :13:57.Not that time. Too much air under this drop shot, too high. A chance

:13:58. > :13:58.for Bacsinszky, then, to get on the scoreboard, at least, in the final

:13:59. > :14:29.set. UMPIRE: New balls, please. Tracy,

:14:30. > :14:34.were you in Paris when she was down in the final set and then won?

:14:35. > :14:44.Surely, it can't happen again. They have new balls to serve with.

:14:45. > :14:48.That should help Bacsinszky's served to move through the court quicker.

:14:49. > :15:10.Not so ruffed up. She keeps using those shorter balls,

:15:11. > :15:13.even if they are not perfectly executed drop shots, if they stay

:15:14. > :15:50.low, Bacsinszky is having a difficult time digging them out.

:15:51. > :16:06.Oh, yes! Maybe another lob was coming, she has been so successful.

:16:07. > :16:42.Just an exquisite pass. That was well long. Bacsinszky

:16:43. > :16:47.asking... The shake of the head. Played so well for the first two

:16:48. > :18:06.sets, but now facing three match points.

:18:07. > :18:31.That's why! And Radwanska is through to the second week at Wimbledon. --

:18:32. > :18:37.that is wide! What a turnaround. Totally overpowered in that first

:18:38. > :18:43.set will stop the second and third sets had a grand total of five

:18:44. > :18:47.unforced errors. Her movement was impeccable, and her accuracy was

:18:48. > :18:53.spot on. So much variety, and broke Bacsinszky down. Yes, the power of

:18:54. > :19:02.Bacsinszky was the decisive factor in the first set, but the

:19:03. > :19:08.consistency, the tennis know-how of Radwanska slowly turned it around,

:19:09. > :19:11.and by the end, enabled the Polish player to take total command. She is

:19:12. > :19:23.through now to play Svetlana Kuznetsova on Monday, to my my, the

:19:24. > :19:29.best day of the championship, when every fourth-round match will be

:19:30. > :19:36.played on Monday before we get into the next round of the women's on

:19:37. > :19:41.Tuesday. In this wide-open field, anything is possible, Tracey.

:19:42. > :19:52.Absolutely. Radwanska's best chance was in 2013. She is putting herself

:19:53. > :19:58.in the heart of the equation now, because she played an excellent

:19:59. > :20:05.match today. She wouldn't be the first champion to have been match

:20:06. > :20:11.point down in the early rounds. Two hours and ten minutes was the actual

:20:12. > :20:25.time of the match, and the score, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1.

:20:26. > :20:31.Timea Bacsinszky will stay out there for a little longer to sign a few

:20:32. > :20:37.more autographs. The ground staff are out there repairing some of

:20:38. > :20:44.those divots. That is confirmation of the scoreline. And right now,

:20:45. > :20:47.Agnieszka is going to talk to Lee McKenzie.

:20:48. > :20:51.Congratulations, we always knew this match would be packed with finesse,

:20:52. > :20:56.and it was lovely to watch - how were you a note after dropping the

:20:57. > :20:58.first set? I expected a lot of tricky shots from her, and a lot of

:20:59. > :21:10.entertaining rallies. I am just very happy that I could

:21:11. > :21:14.come back and that the second set was tight. The third set, I was

:21:15. > :21:19.really playing my game, trying to be more aggressive with my serve. How

:21:20. > :21:22.good does it feel when you have completed the first week of

:21:23. > :21:26.Wimbledon and you know you are into the second week and there is more

:21:27. > :21:30.opportunity to come? It is a great opportunity to be in the second week

:21:31. > :21:34.of a Grand Slam, especially here, so I am really happy. I am going to

:21:35. > :21:40.enjoy, and I am trying to do everything in my power to do another

:21:41. > :21:44.quarterfinal here. Next up, you have Svetlana Kuznetsova, whom you play

:21:45. > :21:49.20 times, including twice here, it is currently 1-1 on grass - with

:21:50. > :21:55.your game, are you confident you can beat her? She has been playing good

:21:56. > :21:59.tennis, and she has had a really good season. I think I will have

:22:00. > :22:03.nothing to lose. She is a great player, a great Champ, and we have

:22:04. > :22:09.played against each other so many times. Another match not less than

:22:10. > :22:13.two hours! Thank you very much. SUE BARKER: Well, she just got better

:22:14. > :22:18.and better in that match, and after such a roller-coaster year, it is

:22:19. > :22:21.wonderful to see Agnieszka Radwanska back to her best. She is such a

:22:22. > :22:27.great mover and competitor, and she proved that today. She is always a

:22:28. > :22:32.threat in a Grand Slam. A former finalist here, but that will be a

:22:33. > :22:37.tough match against Kuznetsova. Two of the most experienced players left

:22:38. > :22:43.in the draw. And we will just update you with what is happening

:22:44. > :22:50.elsewhere: Milos Raonic is serving as well, he actually has match point

:22:51. > :22:56.to go through, winning 7-6, 6-4, 6-4 Albert Ramos-Vinolas. That just

:22:57. > :23:00.happened just a moment ago over on Court Number One. So, a comfortable

:23:01. > :23:07.victory, straight sets, the last year's finalist, the big server from

:23:08. > :23:11.Canada, Milos Raonic. And a couple of updates as well, Angelique Kerber

:23:12. > :23:16.was one set and one break down to American Shelby Rodgers, but she

:23:17. > :23:27.fought back. She looks to be on serve here. That match is live on

:23:28. > :23:35.BBC Two, if you want to watch that. And the match we were watching

:23:36. > :23:43.earlier, Gael Monfils, always the great entertainer, against Adrian

:23:44. > :23:46.Mannarino. It is Gael Monfils who leads to - one against Adrian

:23:47. > :23:51.Mannarino. That is on the website and on the red button, as is this

:23:52. > :23:54.one. Tomas Berdych has taken the first set against bed with a row,

:23:55. > :24:02.and he is a break of serve up in the second set. It is funny who you see

:24:03. > :24:05.watching the matches from up above. There is Roger Federer. You wouldn't

:24:06. > :24:11.believe he has a match coming up later on, on Centre Court, would

:24:12. > :24:15.you? He's just relaxing, watching, catching up with friends. At 35,

:24:16. > :24:18.Roger Federer playing the best tennis of his life. And we look

:24:19. > :24:26.forward to seeing him on Centre Court a little later. And we have

:24:27. > :24:31.made our way down to Centre Court. Boris Becker is with me. Roger

:24:32. > :24:36.Federer, he is so relaxed, isn't he? You wouldn't think he has an

:24:37. > :24:40.important match coming up. Years playing after Novak, so he has some

:24:41. > :24:44.time on his hands was that he has done this 90 times. If one player

:24:45. > :24:53.knows how to prepare, it is Roger Federer. There is no reason to worry

:24:54. > :24:59.about him. Lots of players really concentrate before a match, get in

:25:00. > :25:04.the zone, but not Roger. It is another two hours at least before he

:25:05. > :25:08.get ready. He will mingle with the coaching team, try to find a

:25:09. > :25:11.concentration to play the match. Talking of concentration, that was

:25:12. > :25:15.pretty impressive from Radwanska, wasn't it? She has had a really bad

:25:16. > :25:20.year, but sometimes when you come back to a place where you have won

:25:21. > :25:24.matches, it suddenly all comes together. Very much so. You remember

:25:25. > :25:30.the good times you have had on this court, and she is a veteran. Again,

:25:31. > :25:35.she always finds a way to come back into the match. I respect her a lot.

:25:36. > :25:40.She doesn't have a huge serve, but a strong mind, very strategic in how

:25:41. > :25:46.she prepares the points. On grass, that get you far. It certainly does.

:25:47. > :25:51.Next, it is Novak Djokovic on Centre Court, and he has a new coach,

:25:52. > :25:56.former Wimbledon champion Andre Agassi, and he has been talking to

:25:57. > :25:59.Jonathan. I bet you never thought then, with

:26:00. > :26:04.your long hair and baseball cap, that you would be back as a coach.

:26:05. > :26:10.No, it is there enough. You never know where life will take you.

:26:11. > :26:16.Novak, he is a champion and he knows what he is doing. You have to find

:26:17. > :26:20.advice that makes him the best that he is, give him some tools. It is

:26:21. > :26:25.not about full-time or teaching him how to win. My goodness, we have

:26:26. > :26:29.seen him do that plenty of times. It is about finding the parts that help

:26:30. > :26:37.him feel clear so that he is able to execute his best game, and with

:26:38. > :26:41.conviction. He is an easy guide to coach, in that respect. What is the

:26:42. > :26:48.one thing, if there is one thing, that you are trying to get him to

:26:49. > :26:53.do? Listen, clarity, and fight. To believe that good things are ahead,

:26:54. > :26:57.that you are going to get better every day if we fight and we start

:26:58. > :27:02.thinking about the other side of the court a little more. There is a

:27:03. > :27:08.human odour there that has to be you, you know what I mean? That is

:27:09. > :27:15.what I like to see with Novak. When he is out there feeling clear, he is

:27:16. > :27:21.remarkable. He has Murray as a rival for the title, Rafael Nadal and

:27:22. > :27:26.Roger Federer. In the year of your last line slam title, he won his

:27:27. > :27:30.verse. -- your last Grand Slam title. Can you believe he is still

:27:31. > :27:37.coming here as many people's favourite? No question. To see Roger

:27:38. > :27:43.doing what he is doing, it is inexplicable. He doesn't surprise me

:27:44. > :27:47.any more. He constantly amazes me, and it is great for the game to see

:27:48. > :27:51.these guys going after reach other. Hopefully we will see at this

:27:52. > :27:57.fortnight, where you have those guys pushing at the end. John McEnroe has

:27:58. > :28:00.joined us. He will put the fightback in Djokovic, because something has

:28:01. > :28:06.been missing this year. You saw it with Andy, after he fought so hard

:28:07. > :28:15.to reach number one. And then with Novak, the same. He is doing

:28:16. > :28:19.something that no one had done since Rod Labour in 1969, holding all four

:28:20. > :28:23.Grand Slams. We are all human, you take a step back, you say, wow, can

:28:24. > :28:29.I enjoyed this a little bit? Sometimes you do that - you have

:28:30. > :28:32.somewhat of a let down, and you think you can show up at Wimbledon

:28:33. > :28:39.and pull it back together. He was in the finals of the open. He was

:28:40. > :28:43.outplayed in the beginning. So you figure, OK, I will come back there.

:28:44. > :28:51.And then when it happens four times in a row, you think, we will have to

:28:52. > :28:55.re-evaluate. Bringing Andre Agassi in, so late in his career, he loves

:28:56. > :29:00.to discuss tactics and he will sit there for hours, and he will give

:29:01. > :29:05.him what he wants. I think he will give more information than Novak is

:29:06. > :29:12.used to getting, but it is about them feeling each other out and

:29:13. > :29:16.getting to know each other. You saw the pressure he was under to try and

:29:17. > :29:19.win that French Open and hold all four. An incredible amount of

:29:20. > :29:26.pressure in the weeks leading up, because he won three in a row. It

:29:27. > :29:31.didn't matter about other tournaments, it was about the French

:29:32. > :29:37.Open. Once the French Open started, it was almost a relief, because it

:29:38. > :29:40.was now or never. To get through the tournament for him was a lifelong

:29:41. > :29:54.dream come true. Most other people would take a year off.

:29:55. > :30:07.A big ovation for the three-time champion, up against Ernests Gulbis.

:30:08. > :30:15.Unorthodox, is that how you would describe it? Not quite as much as

:30:16. > :30:22.Fognini, but they have known each other since they were kids and he's

:30:23. > :30:32.not going to pull a fast one on Novak. It will be about how much

:30:33. > :30:43.Gulbis wanted. He's a really strong guy. Has got real firepower. You've

:30:44. > :30:51.got to watch over him. He beat Del Potro, that is a big one. He's had

:30:52. > :30:55.the injuries, his ranking has dropped down, he's not won any

:30:56. > :31:06.matches until here, but against Del Potro it was one great shot after

:31:07. > :31:11.another. He was not expecting much. He had three matches at Roehampton.

:31:12. > :31:16.Get to the third round, please this amazing ground against Del Potro and

:31:17. > :31:18.he thinks, I'm back. And that the dangerous part because he is a

:31:19. > :31:25.different type of player, has a different family background, so if

:31:26. > :31:33.he's on it, if he's confident, he's a dangerous opponent. Perfect

:31:34. > :31:39.example. The players need to come from circumstances. Novak grew up,

:31:40. > :31:43.there are bombs being dropped around, that toughens you up. The

:31:44. > :31:50.Russians had to leave because there's no money. Whereas you've got

:31:51. > :31:54.a guy with the complete opposite. His father is one of the wealthiest

:31:55. > :32:02.guys in Latvia. There's not a lot of hunger. The Gulf Stream was waiting

:32:03. > :32:07.at the end of the tournament, go off on a private plane and stay at the

:32:08. > :32:11.Ritz Carlton. So you've not seen him dig deep in matches but this will

:32:12. > :32:22.certainly get him back in the mix. No better place to do it than here.

:32:23. > :32:33.His ranking had dropped down but he's quite a character, as Lee

:32:34. > :32:42.McKenzie found out. How much are you enjoying the Wimbledon experience?

:32:43. > :32:51.I'm enjoying it. I've not won a match in 13 months. It has been

:32:52. > :32:58.nice. But Gulbis is not known as a great grass court player. Del Potro

:32:59. > :33:06.is a really good grass court player, in my opinion. I'm much more

:33:07. > :33:10.confident than I was before. Does this make you appreciate tennis when

:33:11. > :33:20.you've been through everything you've been through, the fact that

:33:21. > :33:25.you love it? My physio told me he had never seen me as motivated as I

:33:26. > :33:33.am right now. It has been difficult. You appreciate it a lot more and

:33:34. > :33:37.this is the place I want to be. You've got Novak Djokovic next. You

:33:38. > :33:42.used a hit with him. You know him well. How big of test is it going to

:33:43. > :33:52.be? It's a huge test but it's also a big test for. He was struggling this

:33:53. > :33:55.season. If I struggle, I go back to being 600 in the world. If he

:33:56. > :34:00.struggles he goes back to being number two Mac. It has not been easy

:34:01. > :34:09.for him so I guess it is best for both of us. He's got a big serve and

:34:10. > :34:14.a big forehand. He's tall, he's not afraid to use it, he's not afraid of

:34:15. > :34:21.the big courts. It takes a special character to feel comfortable and he

:34:22. > :34:24.has that character. He's going to serve 20 aces, he's going to have a

:34:25. > :34:38.lot of winners, the question of the unforced errors. He is a player like

:34:39. > :34:51.Fabio Fognini who looks for the more difficult shots. The forehand, it

:34:52. > :34:56.seems like he has streamed out his take-back. I don't know what he was

:34:57. > :35:01.thinking when he was trying to pull this off but it seems unorthodox.

:35:02. > :35:05.You mentioned the serve. He's a strong guy and if he gets that first

:35:06. > :35:13.serve going he's going to be dangerous. Having big serve can get

:35:14. > :35:19.you so many cheap points. This is grass court... What does Boris know

:35:20. > :35:25.about that? This is a fast court. Whoever said it was a slow court was

:35:26. > :35:32.wrong. Whoever serves well is always in the driving seat. He's playing a

:35:33. > :35:38.great return. He is playing the greatest returner who ever lived. My

:35:39. > :35:50.last match at Wimbledon was against Agassi. I had the fortune to play

:35:51. > :35:57.Connors, who was amazing. This guy is taller, he's got more reach, he

:35:58. > :36:07.can be aggressive, which he's done more later in his career, or

:36:08. > :36:10.defensive. Either way, he's awesome. You've seen him in the amount of

:36:11. > :36:15.training he puts in. He gets impositions that don't seem

:36:16. > :36:18.possible. Most others would hurt their legs if they tried to get to

:36:19. > :36:27.the bowls that he gets too. He does a lot of working out. Usually he

:36:28. > :36:34.would not leave one stone unturned. I think he's got his Mojo back. I

:36:35. > :36:48.feel like he put his head back to where he was. Now it's about work

:36:49. > :36:52.and practising every week. It has been a roller-coaster year for him.

:36:53. > :36:58.Looked like he was getting good again and then another bad match.

:36:59. > :37:05.Yes, you thought he was going to win Rome. We were concerned in the third

:37:06. > :37:10.set against Dominic Thiem in the French, I could not remember the

:37:11. > :37:16.last time that happened. Obviously, your head needs to be into it,

:37:17. > :37:20.especially the way that Nadal and Federer have been playing. He's

:37:21. > :37:25.doing some target practice on you guys, he is serving. It is also,

:37:26. > :37:38.when he says it is not about winning, it's almost like it's not

:37:39. > :37:50.so important to him. I don't know how true that is. I think sometimes

:37:51. > :37:55.people misinterpret it about not loving tennis. Of course he wants to

:37:56. > :38:01.win. They've called time so thank you. They are on their way to the

:38:02. > :38:08.commentary box. Andrew Castle is waiting for them there. The first

:38:09. > :38:15.Saturday of the championships. A day off tomorrow, and a chance to the

:38:16. > :38:21.grassed arrests -- the graphs to rest. We are getting stuck into the

:38:22. > :38:34.bottom half of the draw. Roger Federer to come. He is playing

:38:35. > :38:36.Zverev. This match contains some threat for Novak Djokovic, who

:38:37. > :38:43.really seems to be regaining his desire for the game. This man with

:38:44. > :38:48.three Wimbledon titles in 2011, 2014 and 20 15. The man who has beaten

:38:49. > :38:59.Nadal, Federer and feather in those finals, and on the greatest stage of

:39:00. > :39:03.all he is playing against Ernests Gulbis, who only has four matches

:39:04. > :39:09.this year. Don't be fooled, one of them was against Del Potro in the

:39:10. > :39:24.last round and he's former top ten. Enjoy this third-round match.

:39:25. > :39:31.John McEnroe is moving like a today. That was the quickest you've ever

:39:32. > :39:35.made from the outside to the inside. And looking forward to this. See if

:39:36. > :39:36.Gulbis and stepped up. Make this a really competitive third-round

:39:37. > :39:44.affair. He's got one of the best backhand in

:39:45. > :39:59.the business. Boris Becker is taking a little bit

:40:00. > :40:00.more time to make his way to the commentary box. This doesn't

:40:01. > :40:29.surprise us. When he does get here, he will dive

:40:30. > :40:33.into his headphones. Is there anything you want to see before he

:40:34. > :40:36.gets here? He is overrated in his tennis career... Eight Wimbledon

:40:37. > :41:06.finals, Lucky... It's been a popular move to win the

:41:07. > :42:39.toss and elected to receive. That is what Gulbis this year.

:42:40. > :42:46.Djokovic did well because that was a nasty slip and he was straight up.

:42:47. > :42:54.The point would have been over beforehand. He reacted to this shop

:42:55. > :42:57.all but he's balanced himself. Seems to slip more than any of the top

:42:58. > :43:07.players. He's quickly able to recover.

:43:08. > :43:22.Gulbis only has one win long ago. At least when you've beaten him, you've

:43:23. > :43:24.beaten him. He did that when he was at the academy but I don't know if

:43:25. > :43:54.that matters anymore. Speed gun on court had that at 106

:43:55. > :44:15.mph. Maybe taking a break between matches.

:44:16. > :44:23.That's the thing when you have not played on these courts for a while.

:44:24. > :44:30.It doesn't matter how much you practice, it affects you when you

:44:31. > :44:43.get on it. There is an aura. It makes you wobble. Not now.

:44:44. > :44:52.This is a man whose ranking does not reflect his ability. He beat Federer

:44:53. > :45:25.in a grand slam Championship. You wonder how fit he is. If he

:45:26. > :45:28.needs to go deep in the match. He's strong, you can see that. Still

:45:29. > :45:49.bringing some serious pop out there. It looked like that ball was going

:45:50. > :46:21.to be out but caught the net. Unlucky for him.

:46:22. > :46:28.Novak is popular in the locker room, these guys are friends, and he had

:46:29. > :46:35.the confidence to ask him whether he should challenge and he challenged.

:46:36. > :46:46.Novak knew it was owed, said, go ahead! I know what you mean, it is

:46:47. > :46:54.nice. It is great sportsmanship. You might have missed the rugby, it was

:46:55. > :47:15.wonderful. It was 15-15, it was a draw.

:47:16. > :47:22.So they haven't beaten them down in New Zealand for 40 years and you're

:47:23. > :47:27.telling me after all this build-up that I've been hearing it was a

:47:28. > :47:30.draw? It was honourable, Americans can never understand you can play

:47:31. > :47:41.cricket for five days and get a draw. Come on...

:47:42. > :47:50.A wonderful match at Wimbledon and at 10-10 they call it a draw. It was

:47:51. > :47:52.the first since 1955. I've done my homework. Usually there is a winner

:47:53. > :47:59.and a loser. Good knowledge from these foreign

:48:00. > :48:14.fellows. But I'm with you, John, I find it a

:48:15. > :48:22.bit odd. This is such an important game for

:48:23. > :48:37.Gulbis to get into this match. That Sun starts to move across,

:48:38. > :48:40.could be tricky to throw the ball up. He's going to have to move the

:48:41. > :49:04.toss. Please don't throw fire. He cannot get out of this game and

:49:05. > :49:05.this is really a test. There's a foundation for the said he's really

:49:06. > :49:49.got to get stuck into this match. The umpire said you're already

:49:50. > :50:02.walking to the other side and then you raise your hand. Where else was

:50:03. > :50:12.he going to go? Would not have done him good if he challenged anyway. It

:50:13. > :50:20.is the interpretation of the rules. Challenge this time. I believe

:50:21. > :50:24.Gulbis is on the scoreboard. The backhand at the sideline.

:50:25. > :50:39.It is in! It should be Novak's point. I don't know when the call

:50:40. > :50:51.came. Replay the point, he says. That will not go over well. He had

:50:52. > :50:58.no chance to get it. That is two points in a row. Beginning of the

:50:59. > :51:05.match. Focus, please. I am. Yes, you are... Novak has a point. I don't

:51:06. > :51:25.think it affected him. He was very much out of position.

:51:26. > :51:38.Maybe just this will still prevail. He's at his very best when bad

:51:39. > :51:45.umpiring triggers him. Makes him play better. I wouldn't know

:51:46. > :52:43.anything about that. How about that? Nine minutes of

:52:44. > :52:52.effort and toil. And he has his reward. So many people a few years

:52:53. > :52:57.ago would have said he was the man most likely to be the first Latvian

:52:58. > :53:03.grand slam champion. He got close a couple of times. It turned out to be

:53:04. > :53:09.Ostapenko at the French Open, wonderful performance from her.

:53:10. > :53:10.Gulbis was on a treatment table in Tenerife watching that. He must have

:53:11. > :53:27.thought, what about me. Another newspaper described him as a

:53:28. > :53:54.flickering flame of talent. We hope so. There's a tremendous

:53:55. > :54:04.upside. It was looking so promising a couple of years ago. Wait till you

:54:05. > :54:05.see what we are going to get in a year or two. Not what they

:54:06. > :54:15.anticipated. Before the tournament started, went

:54:16. > :55:17.to the Academy and chain through another week.

:55:18. > :55:24.This is an interesting match, this. This is a test for Djokovic.

:55:25. > :55:34.The type of style that bothers him is the likes of Stan Wawrinka, who

:55:35. > :55:52.can blow him off the court. It looks possible with Gulbis.

:55:53. > :56:04.Take that! Call that serve? I don't think you will want to go anywhere.

:56:05. > :56:10.This has the makings of a very fine third-round match. Only one of these

:56:11. > :56:18.men can make the second week of the Championship. That was the forehand

:56:19. > :56:20.we were talking about prior to the match. What a winner. This is what

:56:21. > :56:33.is happening on Caroline Wozniacki has just broken

:56:34. > :56:57.back. Disappointing news for Heather

:56:58. > :57:06.Watson, beaten with her partner today in three sets. Talking of the

:57:07. > :57:14.doubles news, a long time out of the game, suffered a knee, and a

:57:15. > :57:21.ruptured tendon. Will need surgery. We wish her well.

:57:22. > :57:39.The crowd are filtering in after taking 25 minutes or so. Filtering

:57:40. > :57:41.back in. It's another holiday here. It's a third-round match. Break of

:57:42. > :57:58.serve to Gulbis. He's got to keep making it work as

:57:59. > :58:14.he did in his first service game. Gulbis knows this and he will not

:58:15. > :58:48.give him the time and space to do so.

:58:49. > :58:54.The year Gulbis reached the semifinal was against Novak. After,

:58:55. > :59:25.they got together. Yes. He is bringing the heat. I

:59:26. > :59:28.wonder if he will start to bring him into the net. Getting him out of the

:59:29. > :00:11.comfort zone. Touch... He has got some pretty good

:00:12. > :00:20.hands, Gulbis. He loves the drop shot. Not particularly comfortable

:00:21. > :00:28.out there the net. The foot. He touched it with the foot, I think.

:00:29. > :00:38.Another call that was not in favour of Novak. Just saying... There is

:00:39. > :00:45.another 132 mph delivery, and after that tough first service game, that

:00:46. > :00:48.backs up the break. The single best set of tennis that we have seen so

:00:49. > :01:15.far in these championships, probably.

:01:16. > :01:24.Beautiful feel from Novak there. Even though they say they watch

:01:25. > :01:29.other guys, they watch each other, they watch the form, so they know

:01:30. > :02:00.what is at stake, and they want to play accordingly.

:02:01. > :02:05.On Novak's second serve, he goes a lot on the forehand, pretty

:02:06. > :02:29.high-speed, low percentage shot, really.

:02:30. > :02:47.CROWD GROANS It's not going for Djokovic yet. All

:02:48. > :03:05.those little points... It's supposed to be a piece of cake.

:03:06. > :03:13.It's quite intriguing, this one, because Gulbis got his nose in

:03:14. > :03:16.front. But I don't suppose there are too many sets were Novak doesn't

:03:17. > :03:21.break serve, or at least has a real good look. It is not like a break of

:03:22. > :03:28.serve quite in the old days. You're right. Gulbis has nothing to lose,

:03:29. > :03:32.and he was tested early on in his first service game, but he weathered

:03:33. > :03:35.the storm and held comfortably after, so I am sure Novak will get a

:03:36. > :03:45.crack at it eventually. The question is whether it is in the first set.

:03:46. > :03:50.If this guy gets hot, it can take the racket out of your hand. I think

:03:51. > :04:04.Gulbis is showing you that. If he can keep the percentage high... Even

:04:05. > :04:07.when he is playing his best, we know there will be times. It is

:04:08. > :04:15.frustrating right now from Novak, but he has to stay patient, feel

:04:16. > :04:31.like his time will come. It would be highly surprising if it didn't.

:04:32. > :04:36.Really very full now here. 50,000 people on Centre Court for this

:04:37. > :04:42.third-round match. Serving with a break, Gulbis.

:04:43. > :05:00.That's a big second serve. That's the thing when you play without

:05:01. > :05:08.fear. You know you have got to play your best. Otherwise, you would have

:05:09. > :05:40.a chance anyway. -- you won't have a chance.

:05:41. > :05:46.Against a big server, sometimes you just get it -- you've just got to

:05:47. > :06:10.get the ball back. Berries that drop shot. He does like

:06:11. > :06:15.that. I like the idea of moving him and bringing him in. He takes the

:06:16. > :06:18.racket back quite a long way on this. He looks like he is going to

:06:19. > :07:10.have a go at it, and then just the one hand. A good disguise.

:07:11. > :07:24.134 mph, as the adrenaline pumps around Gulbis's body here. He has

:07:25. > :07:29.strong legs, strong quads, and he explodes into that high costs. He

:07:30. > :07:31.comes from an athletic background. His grandad was a soviet Union

:07:32. > :08:00.basketball staff. -- star. A skiing background for Novak

:08:01. > :08:08.Djokovic. Still does it in the Serbian mountains. Don't tell the

:08:09. > :08:16.insurers! They know that he goes for a day or two. He is protected -

:08:17. > :08:34.there is no one else on the slopes but him.

:08:35. > :08:40.So they will close the mountain for him? They will have people left and

:08:41. > :08:45.right when he goes down the slope so that no one can enter his lane. It

:08:46. > :09:03.is like New York City for you, John! Just like that!

:09:04. > :09:13.The stores are all empty now. Everyone is online. This is an

:09:14. > :09:20.intriguing match. The camp brink a great deal of intellect, and I'm

:09:21. > :09:23.sure that thrills Novak Djokovic. Boris, you were with Novak for three

:09:24. > :09:29.years. We should congratulate you. He won six Grand Slam championships

:09:30. > :09:33.when you were with him, and he was the holder of all four Grand Slams

:09:34. > :09:39.simultaneously. That sets him apart from even Federer and Nadal, at a

:09:40. > :09:43.time when he could easily have been four three in the world forever

:09:44. > :09:47.more, he went ahead and became this really great champion. And then

:09:48. > :09:55.what? Suffered a fall because he had been to the moon? A little bit. It

:09:56. > :10:00.is only natural to take your foot off the pedal when you have reached

:10:01. > :10:04.Mount Everest. The energy that he spent on becoming the very best

:10:05. > :10:08.version of himself, it has taken its toll on his friends and family and

:10:09. > :10:14.everything else, so he said, enough of that, I want to be back to the

:10:15. > :10:21.people I love most. That naturally means he has spent a few less

:10:22. > :10:25.minutes on the tennis court. I'm surprised that we are surprised. Is

:10:26. > :10:30.that why you guys parted ways, because you didn't feel he was

:10:31. > :10:34.working hard enough? After the year was over, I felt that he wouldn't

:10:35. > :10:40.spend as much time on the practice court, what I wanted him to do. I am

:10:41. > :10:47.the first to understand that family's first. I am still his

:10:48. > :10:48.friend and I still respect and love him, but I thought we should part

:10:49. > :10:59.ways. New tennis balls here, and the

:11:00. > :11:06.backspin return of a big first serve, gives Djokovic the first

:11:07. > :11:09.point. We look for any signs of a lack of belief from Gulbis. The ball

:11:10. > :11:21.will react differently now, zipping through a little bit more.

:11:22. > :11:34.Oh, yes! The best job we have seen today, no question. We saw the first

:11:35. > :11:41.return skidding. He is trying to get himself back to business here. I

:11:42. > :11:59.liked the raw, a real message to the other guy.

:12:00. > :12:30.UMPIRE: Mr Gulbis is challenging the call.

:12:31. > :12:48.There should be an immediate challenge or no challenge.

:12:49. > :12:57.You have a time clock for challenges, and a time clock between

:12:58. > :13:03.points. He didn't take much time for this forehand to go from one end or

:13:04. > :13:06.the other. That is the leg strength that John was talking about. Two

:13:07. > :13:13.break points, still. To the body. Novak couldn't get away

:13:14. > :13:58.from it. The third double fault for the

:13:59. > :14:05.match. He plays high risk tennis, no question about that. That's why you

:14:06. > :14:15.just have to stick with it mentally. As we expected, the level... He

:14:16. > :14:19.couldn't keep that the level he came up with. We're back to square one

:14:20. > :14:57.after 34 minutes. But the momentum has switched.

:14:58. > :15:13.Interesting strategy from Gulbis. Attract Novak into the net. He had

:15:14. > :16:09.all the time to set that up and hit it down the line beautifully.

:16:10. > :16:31.Just a little bit of adrenaline, a little bit of magic has gone from

:16:32. > :17:40.his game. The first serve percentage is

:17:41. > :18:19.dropping a little bit. That was a strange last point. The

:18:20. > :18:24.Serb was patted back. -- the serve. Did you look at the numbers, the

:18:25. > :18:28.full analysis with Djokovic? I did all the boring work after matches.

:18:29. > :18:33.Me with the rest of the team. The statistics don't lie. If you have an

:18:34. > :18:40.argument the next day, saying, you're serve was low, you have the

:18:41. > :18:44.figures. It gives you evidence and a stronger argument if you want to

:18:45. > :18:48.work on something. These guys are stubborn. You know, they know tennis

:18:49. > :18:55.better than most other people, so you have to come with strong

:18:56. > :19:00.arguments. They get a sense of what is going to work, the best guys. I

:19:01. > :19:05.think, OK, according to what I have read in the statistics sheet,... You

:19:06. > :19:11.would be horrible to argue with, wouldn't you? I'm not that type of

:19:12. > :19:18.coach! The first time it ever happened to me, in 1981 in the Davis

:19:19. > :19:22.Cup, my captain did not say a word to me the entire match, and he is

:19:23. > :19:29.looking at these stats. I am like, what are you looking at? We know

:19:30. > :19:36.what is going on. He said, OK, sort of. He did not say one thing

:19:37. > :19:44.tactically, at all. The game has changed. It's more scientific now.

:19:45. > :19:50.People want to understand why they have to play certain things and

:19:51. > :19:54.practice certain forehands. Having been a break of serve up, Gulbis now

:19:55. > :20:18.serving to stay in this first set. The top guys, they are tougher

:20:19. > :20:21.mentally, concentrate better, more consistent, they don't beat

:20:22. > :20:33.themselves. They have less ebb and flow. Also very curious - they want

:20:34. > :20:37.to know why. 1% might be the difference between winning and

:20:38. > :20:41.losing when they play. When you see the stats on the points, at the end

:20:42. > :20:42.of the year, how much better the top guys are, we're talking just a

:20:43. > :21:03.couple of points. Since Novak has energised himself,

:21:04. > :21:26.he has taken over emotionally and in terms of the score.

:21:27. > :21:32.Funny, a few minutes ago, it was impossible to return the serve,

:21:33. > :22:20.something has switched off now and he is down three set points.

:22:21. > :22:29.Not this time. To make breaks in a row. Novak Djokovic, from a break

:22:30. > :22:33.down, wins the first set, 6-4. Some pretty intense minutes here on

:22:34. > :22:37.Centre Court. SUE BARKER: And Andre Agassi will be delighted by how his

:22:38. > :22:43.man came back. Djokovic takes the opening set. We will be right back

:22:44. > :22:48.with this match. One result to bring you, a five set thriller on court to

:22:49. > :22:53.12. The crowd loving it, some entertaining. And Adrian Mannarino

:22:54. > :23:00.has beaten Gael Monfils, the 15th seed, winning it 6-2 in the fifth

:23:01. > :23:05.and sign up -- fifth and final set. It ends in disappointment yet again

:23:06. > :23:11.here at Wimbledon for Gael Monfils. Adrian Mannarino wins yet another

:23:12. > :23:24.five set match here at Wimbledon. He will go through to face either

:23:25. > :23:29.Djokovic or Gulbis. He is through to the fourth round and guaranteed

:23:30. > :23:33.?147,000. That is the prize money. The crowd are absolutely loving the

:23:34. > :23:38.match out on court today. We could be in for another big upset here,

:23:39. > :23:44.because Caroline Wozniacki, the former world number one, is one set

:23:45. > :23:53.and one break down against this girl, Annet Kontaveit. That matches

:23:54. > :23:57.on BBC Two. It could be another big upset in the ladies' championship

:23:58. > :24:02.was that is happening on Court Number One. Back to court.

:24:03. > :24:07.COMMENTATOR: The sunshine beating down on day six of the

:24:08. > :24:11.Championships. The court looks resplendent, having had another very

:24:12. > :24:16.good drink last night and this morning, well watered. On a hot week

:24:17. > :24:21.like this, they pull the roof over and reduce the temperature to 22

:24:22. > :24:26.Celsius to give the grass a rest. On court temperatures this week have

:24:27. > :24:30.been 43.5 Celsius, that is the grass temperature. At that temperature,

:24:31. > :24:35.grass doesn't grow very well. They have had a job on their hands, but

:24:36. > :24:35.it is playing beautifully. It will play slightly differently every

:24:36. > :24:50.single day. Novak Djokovic has deflated his

:24:51. > :25:07.opponent, the Latvian, coming back from so many injuries will --

:25:08. > :25:11.injuries. This will allow him to relax now. He will be tougher to

:25:12. > :25:15.contend with. Talking about the quality of the grass, and some of

:25:16. > :25:29.the players have been complaining. I think it is burnt. The temperature

:25:30. > :25:33.has taken its toll. It is also a later start than it has been in over

:25:34. > :25:35.100 years. It has been hotter generally, so the court is harder

:25:36. > :25:52.than I have seen it for a while. This quality of hitting, the sound

:25:53. > :26:02.of the ball from the Novak Djokovic bracket is a joy. Yesterday, seeing

:26:03. > :26:07.Fabio Fognini's comments after playing Murray, he said, look, I

:26:08. > :26:14.proved a lot. I was better than him for most of the match. Which, I'm

:26:15. > :26:24.sorry, but isn't it who wins the last point? Sometimes you can't

:26:25. > :26:27.question focus and ability, the ability to keep concentration. They

:26:28. > :26:29.lose sight of what the job is. Gulbis is another one of those guys,

:26:30. > :26:46.as we are witnessing. To be fair to some of these players,

:26:47. > :27:30.English is not their first language. If one player has a weakness at the

:27:31. > :27:35.beginning of their career, it is very difficult to completely get rid

:27:36. > :27:39.of it. It'll sneak up on the most awkward situation. The Gulbis

:27:40. > :28:10.forehand was always the weaker side. John, were you more comfortable on

:28:11. > :28:15.the forehand of the backhand? I didn't have big weapons. The

:28:16. > :28:22.supposed weapon was not to have any weakness.

:28:23. > :28:31.Equally mediocre on both sides! There is trouble here, the

:28:32. > :28:35.possibility of a third break in a row. Look at this athleticism. So

:28:36. > :29:17.flexible. He gave the shot away and paid the

:29:18. > :29:21.price. You can see that he's looking to open the face of the racket,

:29:22. > :29:26.which means it is more than likely going to be very short. This guy is

:29:27. > :29:42.one of the great movers in our sport ever. He ate that up.

:29:43. > :29:51.He was 4-2 down? Yes, three breaks in a row. Him and the top four or

:29:52. > :29:55.five guys, they are incredible frontrunners. When they smell the

:29:56. > :30:11.bacon, they really go for it. Novak, Roger, Rafa, Andy, they see

:30:12. > :31:12.that the opponent is weak and they take advantage.

:31:13. > :31:19.The first serve percentage increased to 69.

:31:20. > :31:45.Djokovic very much in control on Centre court. We will rejoin this in

:31:46. > :31:49.a moment. Some results, Thomas -- Thomas Burdick is through against

:31:50. > :31:56.Davitt prayer. Such a powerful game from the big

:31:57. > :32:13.man from the back of the court. He is marching on.

:32:14. > :32:18.Jo-Wilfried Tsonga came out to complete his match and only played

:32:19. > :32:32.one game. He lost his serve and it meant Sam Querrey went through. They

:32:33. > :32:36.go through to face another big server, Kevin Anderson. Those are

:32:37. > :33:15.the results out on Court number two. So many stories at Wimbledon.

:33:16. > :33:16.Zverev, came through the qualifying, and here he appears with a chance to

:33:17. > :33:34.get through to the second week. On court 18 earlier, she was the

:33:35. > :33:40.five match points down in qualifying and now she's in the fourth round.

:33:41. > :33:54.Junior is taking place today as well. Great to watch.

:33:55. > :34:03.They will be clogging up the court. Seniors next week. And the locker

:34:04. > :34:46.rooms. To make this a bit of a match,

:34:47. > :34:49.Gulbis needs to regroup and concentrate on what made it strong

:34:50. > :34:55.in the first instance. Strong groundstrokes.

:34:56. > :35:15.Just last seven games in a row, got to go back to basics. Is that in his

:35:16. > :35:28.playbook? We are seeing a more determined

:35:29. > :35:33.Djokovic than we've seen in quite some time. His match in the French

:35:34. > :35:39.Open was desperate, he gave up the fight. He looks hungry. He went down

:35:40. > :35:52.to Eastbourne and one. Got the matches in. He is best under

:35:53. > :36:07.adversity. Feels like he's being mistreated or misjudged.

:36:08. > :36:31.Some people need a crisis to get motivated.

:36:32. > :36:38.His lack of match play and his style of play are being exposed now. And

:36:39. > :36:47.his belief, ultimately. He's completely self-destructed. Shoulder

:36:48. > :36:50.injuries, rest, at here in the calf muscle, and the fact he is only won

:36:51. > :37:09.three matches. Looking for his fourth year.

:37:10. > :37:26.Well done. You said earlier, he doesn't have a plan B. He's never

:37:27. > :37:29.been known to be an exceptionally hard worker so he's probably not

:37:30. > :38:21.sure how long he can go out here. He's got to be feeling pretty good

:38:22. > :38:34.about his draw right about now. They played last year in the first

:38:35. > :38:44.round when he was defending champion and it was a pretty awkward match.

:38:45. > :38:52.There still a lot of tennis to be this afternoon.

:38:53. > :40:02.Perfect example of where you put him in a tough spot, encouraged him to

:40:03. > :40:04.go up the lane, higher part of that. Good move back there. Saved one of

:40:05. > :40:30.these break points. Too long after a couple of squash

:40:31. > :40:37.shot forehands. Just pulled back to the baseline. Good variety by

:40:38. > :41:15.Gulbis. I like it. Many more ways to hit the forehand.

:41:16. > :41:27.He's come back from 2-0 on three occasions but to do it on centre

:41:28. > :41:40.court against Djokovic is a big ask for sure.

:41:41. > :41:49.Latvia used to be behind the Aaron curtain but now that so many layers

:41:50. > :41:56.from that region. They have a young female star. Gulbis, at the age of

:41:57. > :42:08.28, doesn't want this raid to be over. Thankfully, because I've seen

:42:09. > :42:12.him so many times and it looks like he's decided he's not going to take

:42:13. > :42:19.his job very seriously, and he's said as much. He said it to me, he

:42:20. > :42:26.said it to other players. He did reach ten in the world. He was in

:42:27. > :42:31.the quarters. I had with him when he was 15 in Croatia. They were like,

:42:32. > :43:08.watch over this guy. Just got news that Gulbis has asked

:43:09. > :43:19.for the trainer for a back injury. He needs all the help he can get.

:43:20. > :43:28.Mr Gulbis is challenging the ball. It was called out. It was maybe too

:43:29. > :43:50.much, too soon in the first set. In case you've forgotten it was not

:43:51. > :43:53.long ago it was 4-2, Gulbis. He was serving at 4-3 and then got back

:43:54. > :44:57.into the game and lost with a double fault. That was key.

:44:58. > :45:03.This second serve is troubling me. I understand you don't want to hit it

:45:04. > :45:07.too carefully but there has to be another way of putting it on. How

:45:08. > :45:19.many double faults are we talking now? Seven.

:45:20. > :46:56.He was a good player. He beat Henman. Lost to Andy Roddick. We had

:46:57. > :47:04.him in practice for the last two years. He lives in New York. A stock

:47:05. > :47:09.trader. Very smart guy. Still has a big serve, a big forehand, good

:47:10. > :47:23.enough to practice for a couple of days.

:47:24. > :47:31.Well done. I like that drive the cars he'd been getting beaten up and

:47:32. > :47:38.that snaps that run. Marouane Chamakh is involved -- Mario Ancic

:47:39. > :47:56.is involved. You were talking about how wealthy

:47:57. > :48:00.he is and the finances for the Gulbis family. Tell me. I don't know

:48:01. > :48:06.about numbers but we don't have to worry. It makes it all the more

:48:07. > :48:10.remarkable in my eyes about Gulbis playing tennis. He must love the

:48:11. > :48:18.competition and doing something on his own instead of depending on

:48:19. > :48:35.daddy's money and I respected a lot. A lot of sons and daughters don't.

:48:36. > :48:46.Relaxing and relying on the trust fund. I think he may have that in

:48:47. > :49:51.the back pocket. Game, and second set, Novak

:49:52. > :50:05.Djokovic. Djokovic leads by two sets to love.

:50:06. > :50:15.Djokovic has turned this thread completely. Cue the trainer. Here we

:50:16. > :50:24.go. There's quite a lot of around these days. Amazing how much it

:50:25. > :50:30.hurts when you are losing. These next-generation finals taking place

:50:31. > :50:35.later on this year, it is before the world tour finals in London. They're

:50:36. > :50:36.going to allow only a couple of time-outs and a number of other rule

:50:37. > :50:55.changes. He's getting some treatment. He's

:50:56. > :51:04.got to win three sets in a row with an injured back. It seems unlikely

:51:05. > :51:07.at this point. We will take this opportunity to move away from centre

:51:08. > :51:14.and bring you some results. If you are just coming in. First up, the

:51:15. > :51:24.number one seeds, Angelique Kerber came from a set and a breakdown.

:51:25. > :51:26.That's much it means. Shelby Rogers had her chances, just got a little

:51:27. > :51:41.bit negative when she was set a break up. She is brewed to face

:51:42. > :51:48.Muguruza who was not on court long. She can volley well, she likes to

:51:49. > :52:05.come forehead. She is brewed to the delight of her coach.

:52:06. > :52:10.Radwanska got better and better as the match went on. She's not had a

:52:11. > :52:20.great year but she's coming into form at the right time. Tremendous

:52:21. > :52:32.final set. She threw the next round. And through to face Svetlana

:52:33. > :52:51.Kuznetsova, on Monday. That is two very experienced players. Those are

:52:52. > :52:55.the stories. One more to bring you. Vandeweghe is racing through over

:52:56. > :53:11.her fellow American. She could go deep into the

:53:12. > :53:22.tournament. Came through in straight sets, what a tournament she has had.

:53:23. > :53:36.It is really paying off. Looking very much at home on the grass. She

:53:37. > :53:47.through to Monday. And Milos Raonic has defeated Vinolas. He raced

:53:48. > :53:51.through after the tie-break. The big server was last year's finalist,

:53:52. > :53:57.losing to Andy Murray. He is through.

:53:58. > :54:05.It looks like the injury time-out is over so let's rejoin.

:54:06. > :54:25.Back on centre court. At the moment absolutely odds-on. Novak Djokovic

:54:26. > :54:31.was a champion three times here. He obviously came in, because he played

:54:32. > :54:37.Del Potro, he's not played many matches, his back tightened up. That

:54:38. > :54:44.happens. Should he be allowed this treatment? It did not happen during

:54:45. > :54:54.the match. It just got a little worse. Tough thing to prove. I

:54:55. > :55:01.mean... It is but nonetheless the bottom line is, should be allowed to

:55:02. > :55:08.get treatment for something that has been going on. I think we should get

:55:09. > :55:12.a massage in the commentary box if the match goes on. It would make any

:55:13. > :55:22.people feel better when they are slightly stressed. It's a fair point

:55:23. > :55:30.you're making. Sometimes that's the result of the other guys making you

:55:31. > :55:33.run left and right. You win easily and you save yourself. That's what

:55:34. > :55:41.Novak Djokovic wants to do so he's got more in the tank for the second

:55:42. > :55:48.week. Are you grumpy about medical time-outs? It is an epidemic.

:55:49. > :55:55.Bathroom breaks. It is almost every time. Totally abused.

:55:56. > :55:59.So many male tennis players took to the court and did not finish

:56:00. > :56:36.matches. It is in focus this week. They should give the trainer 10% of

:56:37. > :56:46.the prize money if these guys come back. All of a sudden he's starting

:56:47. > :56:55.to hit the ball clean again. He's regrouped.

:56:56. > :56:58.Obviously it takes the concentration away from the opponent who need to

:56:59. > :57:31.wait for ten, 15 minutes. That's a very fine start. Whether he

:57:32. > :57:38.was aided by the medical time-out, and it certainly appears he was, he

:57:39. > :57:47.has held to love to start this third set. I'm thinking of Bernard Tomic

:57:48. > :57:53.who said he took a medical time-out to change things up and was

:57:54. > :57:59.immediately find. He also said he did not have anything wrong with

:58:00. > :58:31.him. Both things meant he was done for. Dumb.

:58:32. > :58:39.By the way, I don't blame him for doing it because in the rules.

:58:40. > :58:45.Players are figuring out how to take advantage of it. I think that's the

:58:46. > :58:48.point, really. Some of these rules being taken advantage of, and that's

:58:49. > :59:28.what we discuss. He lost a bit of momentum and

:59:29. > :59:35.intensity. Some unforced errors are creeping into his game. Maybe need

:59:36. > :59:49.to call the trainer as well. A run of six straight points by

:59:50. > :01:27.Gulbis after that medical time-out. BORIS BECKER: And here we go. This

:01:28. > :01:49.first break point since the middle of the first set.

:01:50. > :02:03.That's good athleticism. He jumped on the return before the ball

:02:04. > :02:23.dropped below the net. It makes life a whole lot easier from there.

:02:24. > :02:30.You can tell from Novak's face, when you know him better, when he is

:02:31. > :02:43.focusing and taking it seriously and when he is not. I think that break

:02:44. > :02:56.point was an alarm bell. He is looking pretty good. When you are

:02:57. > :03:02.hurting, latest tougher. Novak is starting to go behind the more. He

:03:03. > :03:30.wants to finish this guy off in three sets.

:03:31. > :03:40.Incredible backhand at times. Really following through and going after

:03:41. > :04:16.it, taking it on. Technically, very sound. In contrast to his forehand.

:04:17. > :04:23.Novak has done an excellent job of taking this crowd completely out of

:04:24. > :04:31.it. They are just like, OK, it's over. Where is Federer? UMPIRE: Mr

:04:32. > :04:36.Djokovic is challenging the call. The ball was called in. It has been

:04:37. > :04:43.a feature of so many men's matches on Centre Court. We had Murray and

:04:44. > :04:53.Fognini, and had hardly been a men's match that had been a great contest.

:04:54. > :05:08.I don't believe it! That is one of the shots of the week. Court

:05:09. > :05:13.coverage, first step, phenomenal. So much for the slippery grass court

:05:14. > :05:15.will stop he got some traction on his first step. And he still had to

:05:16. > :05:32.hit that shot after sprinting. I liked the noise. It sounds similar

:05:33. > :06:03.to some of the noises he made in the first set.

:06:04. > :06:12.I saw Novak doing something surprising - he had an ice bath

:06:13. > :06:17.before he played the finals of the open. You often hear of players

:06:18. > :06:28.doing it after. I don't think I should tell you everything. I just

:06:29. > :06:32.asked if he took ice baths, that's all. A lot of things go on in the

:06:33. > :06:37.locker room that we don't know from the outside, and that is a good

:06:38. > :06:41.thing. It is down to the discretion of the players. Everybody has their

:06:42. > :06:46.own way of preparing, getting ready. He came out strong. He won the first

:06:47. > :06:51.set and might have been up in the second as well, so it is not as if

:06:52. > :06:55.it didn't work. Through the years, people try different things before

:06:56. > :07:02.and after matches. Some things work on some things done. Some say you

:07:03. > :07:08.should take a cold plunge, others, a hot shower. Practice right before,

:07:09. > :07:14.don't practice. Get in some jump rope, ride the bike... It is hard to

:07:15. > :07:21.know exactly what works. The top guys, being there for so long, they

:07:22. > :07:26.have adapted to the game. I believe the game is changing every 18

:07:27. > :07:30.months, so you, as a top guy, how to improve, and what worked two years

:07:31. > :08:37.ago won't work any more, and that includes practice and recovery.

:08:38. > :08:42.Certainly, the work he got done at the end of the second set seems to

:08:43. > :08:51.have inspired him temporarily, at least. He is starting to hit the

:08:52. > :08:57.ball cleanly again. I think Andy Murray had to deal with the same

:08:58. > :09:05.thing against Guinea, doing jumps on the baseline to stay warm. --

:09:06. > :09:12.against Fabio Fognini. Novak is doing a smart thing, which is to go

:09:13. > :09:16.in behind Gulbis, forcing him to stop and turn back, which is

:09:17. > :10:12.painful. Especially when the ball is out of reach.

:10:13. > :10:22.People look at Novak and the other guys at the top, and they wonder

:10:23. > :10:26.what they work on. Boris, what did you work on within more than

:10:27. > :10:32.anything else? It changed every week, literally. Sometimes you

:10:33. > :10:40.worked the serve, sometimes the forehand, sometimes the backhand,

:10:41. > :10:45.sometimes the footwork. It depended on the surface. The reverse drop

:10:46. > :10:50.shot on the backhand? No, we didn't work on that. That is called

:10:51. > :10:56.instinct. That is exactly the shot he wanted to hit. A short slice,

:10:57. > :11:06.away from Gulbis. Low. Beautiful play. We spent a lot of time talking

:11:07. > :11:12.about strategy, how to position yourself, where you are most

:11:13. > :11:19.effective. About the opponents, whether you play Federer, Nadal,

:11:20. > :11:36.Murray, what is the best way to beat them?

:11:37. > :11:44.As is often the case when two guys are at the net, one of the two goes

:11:45. > :11:48.right at the other to plug them with the shot. The right move. Gulbis was

:11:49. > :12:31.ready for it. I wasn't loading the team. There an

:12:32. > :12:38.assistant trainer other people. They all got the boot, didn't? Yes. A

:12:39. > :12:46.tenth appearance at Wimbledon for Ernests Gulbis, a former top ten

:12:47. > :12:53.player. He got there just after 2014, the French Open semifinal. He

:12:54. > :12:55.is still well down in this match. SUE BARKER: And we will be back on

:12:56. > :13:06.Centre Court in just a moment. There is plenty happening on this

:13:07. > :13:13.middle Saturday. Caroline Wozniacki is now a break of serve up in the

:13:14. > :13:18.third and final set. The four-man world number one is fighting hard.

:13:19. > :13:24.That match is currently on BBC Two. On Court Number Two, Sasha Steres, a

:13:25. > :13:32.very talented youngster, is going very well. The 20-year-old is up

:13:33. > :13:41.against a qualifier who put out Jack Sock in the last round. -- Zverev.

:13:42. > :13:47.We will keep you up-to-date with those matches. Back to centre now.

:13:48. > :13:59.COMMENTATOR: A lovely day here on Centre Court. Two former chairman -

:14:00. > :14:01.Tom Curry and Tim Phillips. They have done so much to transform this

:14:02. > :14:35.club over the years. Pouille we have two three-time

:14:36. > :14:46.champions in the box, and I am not one of them. -- we have two

:14:47. > :15:33.three-time champions in the box. Your final against Bjorn Borg, that

:15:34. > :15:36.changed my life. Those two finals, one that you won and one you lost,

:15:37. > :15:44.they made me want to come to Wimbledon one day. So it's my fault!

:15:45. > :16:22.Really, it is. You're welcome! A splendid shot, but unfortunately,

:16:23. > :16:45.he is 40-0 down, so it won't add up to very much.

:16:46. > :17:11.His first double fault of the match. He has five aces.

:17:12. > :17:18.Suddenly, we've got a game here. You would not have anticipated him

:17:19. > :18:11.missing this forehand. Good point. Gulbis gave himself a

:18:12. > :18:39.chance. But eventually, another unforced error cost him the point.

:18:40. > :18:50.That was a little bit of magic from Novak Djokovic in the hands there.

:18:51. > :18:54.Again, it's a shot you don't practice much, but beautifully done.

:18:55. > :19:01.That is where you are meant to put it - short and across court. He

:19:02. > :19:05.enticed Gulbis to go for a really low percentage reply, which he did,

:19:06. > :19:09.and missed it pretty badly. We haven't seen Djokovic looked as

:19:10. > :19:11.hungry for victory or as sharp in his shot selection and reaction for

:19:12. > :19:56.months. I must tell you, I like it. Considering this guy is 589... He is

:19:57. > :20:03.in a protected ranking because of a medical exemption. They run out

:20:04. > :20:26.quite quickly, so you need to win when you have those chances.

:20:27. > :20:29.Seeded number two because of previous grass court form, which

:20:30. > :21:01.includes winning this three times. UMPIRE: Mr Djokovic is challenging

:21:02. > :21:11.the call. The ball was called out. Here we go, start the conversation.

:21:12. > :21:29.UMPIRE: Mr Djokovic has one challenge remaining.

:21:30. > :21:38.Everyone has their memories of Wimbledon. Whether it is John's

:21:39. > :21:44.matches with Bjorn Borg in 1980 and 1981, Boris winning, the first

:21:45. > :21:56.unseeded, the first German. The first 11-year-old! Andre Agassi in

:21:57. > :22:01.1992. It was wonderful to be here. If we can just get Andre to wear a

:22:02. > :22:09.handkerchief on his head in this sunshine, with the former Notts in

:22:10. > :22:17.the corner, then we would know he was an honorary Brit. He is looking

:22:18. > :22:25.after himself now. A lot more sunscreen now. If he and Ancic have

:22:26. > :22:32.been talking throughout this match. Did Novick look up at you a lot?

:22:33. > :22:37.Yes, I think the player's reaction towards the boxes normal. I think

:22:38. > :22:41.there should be communication among the coaches and the whole team, and

:22:42. > :22:45.I think the player needs to see engagement, that they are behind him

:22:46. > :22:56.with every point. Every player is different. Some players are probably

:22:57. > :23:00.slightly easier to support than others. Some players are pretty

:23:01. > :23:22.rough on their friends and loved ones up there.

:23:23. > :23:33.Gulbis is playing better. He is throwing in the occasional serve -

:23:34. > :24:04.volley. He uses is that pretty well. It is nice to see him move forward.

:24:05. > :24:08.A strong second served by Djokovic, into the body of Gulbis. He didn't

:24:09. > :25:07.have time to move away from it. Djokovic keeps Gulbis busy by

:25:08. > :25:11.changing the pace, a bit higher, and that lower, hoping that eventually,

:25:12. > :25:55.by the fifth or sixth shot, the Latvian goes for too much.

:25:56. > :25:59.You feel like it is a matter of time out here, with Gulbis just hanging

:26:00. > :26:05.on. New balls. He lost serve with new

:26:06. > :26:48.balls at 4-3 in the first set. The new balls play faster, they fly

:26:49. > :27:23.quicker through the air. Not an easy smash, but Gulbis takes

:27:24. > :27:25.no prisoners here. One of the most under practice chopped in the game,

:27:26. > :27:50.the bounce smash. -- under practised shots. He has got

:27:51. > :27:57.to be in it mentally for the long haul. She is protecting herself from

:27:58. > :28:34.the sun. She might as well have stayed at home.

:28:35. > :28:44.You can't beat being here on Centre Court. This schedule today,

:28:45. > :28:50.fabulous. Novak Djokovic in action, obviously, but to win a Grand Slam,

:28:51. > :28:54.seven matches. This Centre Court crowd today, and the order of play,

:28:55. > :29:01.Djokovic and Federer have won me most matches of any players ever at

:29:02. > :29:08.the Grand Slams. 235 matches for Novak Djokovic, 316 for Federer.

:29:09. > :29:11.It's ridiculous, isn't it? It's the motivation to keep going when

:29:12. > :29:19.everything has already been achieved. It is a lot to be admired.

:29:20. > :29:24.Certainly, the way up the ladder, up the rankings, is extremely exciting.

:29:25. > :29:30.You are travelling the world, competing, learning from your

:29:31. > :29:37.losses. Seeing new places. Seeing new places, seeing yourself improve.

:29:38. > :29:43.Sensing the pride that comes along with achieving something monumental.

:29:44. > :29:49.And then to have to stay hungry and to keep looking over your shoulder

:29:50. > :29:52.and looking and learning, finding ways to get better, is even tougher.

:29:53. > :30:04.That is what makes what we've witnessed, especially the top four,

:30:05. > :30:39.so amazing. They seem hungrier than the guys who don't have it.

:30:40. > :30:56.Djokovic getting to this drop shot, so quick. That was of imagination,

:30:57. > :31:11.wasn't it? Best point of the match so far. Had everything in it.

:31:12. > :31:23.He is claiming the -- timing it the way that he can. It is perfect to

:31:24. > :31:37.execute, something that is new to our sport.

:31:38. > :31:48.Novak and no doubt, on clay, is like an art form. Getting the most weight

:31:49. > :31:58.behind your own shots. The first person I saw sliding on anything

:31:59. > :32:08.other than clay was... I saw Goran Ivanisevic sliding on hard court. I

:32:09. > :32:09.said, or K, he's crazy. Only he would attend this and no most guys

:32:10. > :32:38.do it. There I said, it has helped take

:32:39. > :32:44.pressure off their joints? To stop doing it you need incredibly strong

:32:45. > :33:06.joints. I see kids of ten that my academy doing it.

:33:07. > :33:17.That second serve. I don't think I've ever seen a kick serve the come

:33:18. > :33:24.so effective on this court but it is really jumping. We saw some of that

:33:25. > :33:59.at Queen's Club. Good depth from the Djokovic

:34:00. > :34:25.forehand, doing the damage left to right.

:34:26. > :34:55.Good set of tennis now. Still very much mentally in it.

:34:56. > :35:34.He managed to get him to 130. No chance from the return there.

:35:35. > :36:05.Full-stop the second serve hit flat. Normally his bread and butter shot,

:36:06. > :37:00.the backhand. No wonder he's a little bit upset.

:37:01. > :37:15.All or nothing. It is the racquet speed through the ball but also the

:37:16. > :37:27.rotation. If he was throwing discus it would go miles.

:37:28. > :37:49.Do you think it surprised him that it arrived back? Do you think he

:37:50. > :37:57.practices that too often? It could cost in the game.

:37:58. > :38:06.You don't want to be changing brackets between Serbs.

:38:07. > :38:43.The second serve that he missed... He just does not mess on big points.

:38:44. > :39:16.Here's one. An approach shot, and second serve.

:39:17. > :39:24.That is beautifully executed. This was a tricky bowl, cut the tape. Did

:39:25. > :40:10.a really good job getting himself out of trouble. It was curtains.

:40:11. > :40:19.Obviously disappointing for his parents but what are you going to do

:40:20. > :40:25.with Djokovic? He keeps throwing the ball back in the court and it is the

:40:26. > :40:29.depth as much as the pace. The first thing is to expected to be a foot

:40:30. > :40:39.inside the baseline. Don't think he's going to miss it.

:40:40. > :41:06.Another stunning backhand under pressure. He really earned that.

:41:07. > :41:30.He's guaranteed himself at least a shot at the tie-break and maybe

:41:31. > :41:40.could even take it to a fourth. They like the story, the people here.

:41:41. > :41:44.They want to see a match. They saw what happened towards the end of the

:41:45. > :41:52.second when he was feeding, and it looked extremely bleak. It still

:41:53. > :41:57.does but he's battled hard, he has dug in, he has tried some different

:41:58. > :42:00.things and people have responded nicely.

:42:01. > :42:21.He is only that he has only 131 matches.

:42:22. > :42:37.Two tournament that year as well. He likes France.

:42:38. > :43:47.He has got it on clay, that shows his versatility.

:43:48. > :45:09.The ball was called in. Part of it is to slow down the pace.

:45:10. > :45:21.Tie-break. A victory of sorts to even get to the tie-break for him.

:45:22. > :45:43.Played a couple before these, the head-to-head is 6-1.

:45:44. > :45:59.That looked a bit long. The call was late. That always tempts the player

:46:00. > :46:35.with the challenge. Fair challenge, not bad.

:46:36. > :46:39.Certainly would have anticipated that Novak Djokovic would win the

:46:40. > :46:50.majority of those longer rallies, as he did there. Unfortunately

:46:51. > :47:14.beforehand faulted him. It is Djokovic with the mini break.

:47:15. > :47:54.It is all or nothing. You live by the sword and die by the sword.

:47:55. > :48:03.Djokovic knows the next two points are huge to get a comfortable lead

:48:04. > :48:28.in the tie-break. For Gulbis it's just a mini break.

:48:29. > :48:57.Brave play by the Latvian, not holding back.

:48:58. > :49:13.A perfect example of the great players. It was certainly makeable.

:49:14. > :49:16.We've not seen Novak that engaged in a third round match, you can see

:49:17. > :49:45.what it means to him. He is engaged. That was a lovely

:49:46. > :49:51.note that he held there. Certainly prepared to shear his emotions. He

:49:52. > :50:00.has not always felt as loved and adored as Roger Federer and Rafael

:50:01. > :50:10.Nadal. It is difficult opposition. I think it matters to him that he is

:50:11. > :50:26.respected. It feels like it is getting to have the respect. It

:50:27. > :50:28.makes him more human. Quite an accomplishment to be talked about in

:50:29. > :50:40.the same league as those two. Not making life easy. He's into a

:50:41. > :52:19.tie-break. Game, set, match, Djokovic. That was

:52:20. > :52:25.a very accomplished performance and Novak Djokovic is into the second

:52:26. > :52:42.week for a tense time. He really looks like he fancies this.

:52:43. > :53:07.Let's take the views of Boris Becker and John McEnroe. The prospects for

:53:08. > :53:13.the second week are extremely high. I like the intensity he's bringing

:53:14. > :53:20.to the occasion. The crowd are rallying. He is human and he has

:53:21. > :53:34.struggled on the court. There's a lot of good signs. It is great to

:53:35. > :53:48.see Ernest Gilbert -- Ernests Gulbis back to that form. The first time I

:53:49. > :54:02.see the passion back. I am rooting a little bit. It is about passion, how

:54:03. > :54:11.much you invest to win. We spoke about the passion that he wants to

:54:12. > :54:18.win desperately. We will catch up in a second, this is action from the

:54:19. > :54:26.bottom half of the draw. Federal - Djokovic would be the semifinal we

:54:27. > :54:28.would love to see. There will be a lovely match on Monday if Fedor

:54:29. > :54:45.comes through against Zverev. Mannarino got the big scalp today.

:54:46. > :54:50.The highest seed for Djokovic would be Dominic Thiem, who does not have

:54:51. > :55:03.the comfort level on this court yet. Almost beat him at the French.

:55:04. > :55:10.Novak, congratulations, the crowd loved it. They did not as much as

:55:11. > :55:17.you did to get it done in straight sets and get into the second week of

:55:18. > :55:23.Wimbledon for the tenth time in your career. I am delighted, I thought I

:55:24. > :55:30.raised the level of tennis. Compared to the first couple of matches this

:55:31. > :55:38.was the most focused I was on the court and obviously at the right

:55:39. > :55:46.time because he is a great challenge, very unpredictable, with

:55:47. > :55:54.a huge serve. It is not easy playing on grass against the big server like

:55:55. > :55:58.that. Obviously started off well, break up, then I won seven games in

:55:59. > :56:08.a row. That obviously gave me a lot of confidence. In general I'm

:56:09. > :56:20.pleased with the way that I played. I had to focus. How difficult and

:56:21. > :56:32.unsettling is that? I think he will be frustrated with me saying that. I

:56:33. > :56:38.apologise, but it was very odd that the call should have been different.

:56:39. > :56:45.He is trying to do his job. I am as well. Sometimes in the heat of the

:56:46. > :56:56.moment you exchange things. We will be fine. In the next round you've

:56:57. > :57:07.got Mannarino, a rematch. You must fancy your chances. He's a tough

:57:08. > :57:14.player to play against, he has very flat shots from both ends, a really

:57:15. > :57:25.good sliced serve, and he just anticipates really well on this

:57:26. > :57:27.surface. He's in good form. I am as well. Hopefully I will repeat the

:57:28. > :57:43.result from last year. He managed to break and then break

:57:44. > :57:52.again. He took control and raised the level of his game in that

:57:53. > :58:02.tie-break. Novak Djokovic is through. That means six men over 30

:58:03. > :58:07.are into the last 16. That has only happened three times before. Guess

:58:08. > :58:11.who is next? Roger Federer. Will we see another record go at Wimbledon?

:58:12. > :58:19.The beautiful weather we've had, lovely hot sunshine, what a glorious

:58:20. > :58:20.scene this is. The BBC is proud to have been a part of Wimbledon as it

:58:21. > :58:37.has been for the past 90 years. We're going to take your trouble

:58:38. > :58:42.than -- take you to Wimbledon for a running commentary. Wimbledon was

:58:43. > :58:55.crucial in when colour was introduced.

:58:56. > :00:20.# One vision #. SUE BARKER: And all I can say is

:00:21. > :00:28.that Kasia has never had so much fun made so much noise here at

:00:29. > :00:31.Wimbledon. I had an elbow operation about five weeks ago, so I was

:00:32. > :00:37.nervous about throwing the ball. It was OK. You were rude about my

:00:38. > :00:44.backhand. I said it was nearly top-spin. It looked good! It has

:00:45. > :00:49.been a wonderful journey, this championship, so many stories over

:00:50. > :00:53.the years. And the sheer scale of it has changed so much, when you see

:00:54. > :01:00.some of these pictures going back. My first memory here in the 70s...

:01:01. > :01:12.Everyone has such a history. Watching him, the nerves he put us

:01:13. > :01:17.through. John McEnroe in the finals. The first time you saw Bjorn Borg,

:01:18. > :01:24.when you are hanging out that the ladies' dressing room watching him

:01:25. > :01:29.going past. It was a rush to the window, and I was often not at the

:01:30. > :01:33.front of the queue! I'm not naming names! What happens in the locker

:01:34. > :01:41.room stays there, as far as I am concerned. No Kerber -- Novak

:01:42. > :01:45.Djokovic is inspiring youngsters. He turned that match around. , And he

:01:46. > :01:50.knows that Gulbis is a difficult player because he has such a

:01:51. > :01:53.difficult game. With all those top guys, on the first Saturday, they

:01:54. > :01:57.are keen to find a way through to the second week. He was delighted

:01:58. > :02:01.with his form, as he said afterwards, and I think it was a

:02:02. > :02:08.step up today, so he will be a happy man tonight and tomorrow. Andrew, he

:02:09. > :02:11.did look good, and in that tie-break, when you need to raise

:02:12. > :02:16.the level, he really dead. Absolutely. The reason why I am not

:02:17. > :02:23.dressed smartly is because I have just been in the commentary box, but

:02:24. > :02:26.I thought we first saw the real hunger in the seventh and eighth

:02:27. > :02:31.game of the first set and he was a break down. He broke back with those

:02:32. > :02:37.new tennis balls. He seemed so keen and alert, like a cat on the

:02:38. > :02:42.returns, reacting. The Serbs were coming in at around 130 mph. That is

:02:43. > :02:48.unbelievable. His court speed is there. When you think of the French

:02:49. > :02:55.Open a few weeks ago, and he was almost giving up against an ATM.

:02:56. > :03:02.CHEERING And that is for Roger. Roger Federer

:03:03. > :03:09.has come onto the court, the 18- times Grand Slam winner. Everybody

:03:10. > :03:16.wants to see this great champion on his favourite court. It's amazing.

:03:17. > :03:21.When he strolls out of the locker room, even around the players will T

:03:22. > :03:36.area, there is an air about the place. -- around the players' area.

:03:37. > :03:42.As you walk out to face him, Tim obviously knows how that feels, what

:03:43. > :03:51.an ordeal it is to play him. And he is facing Mischa Zverev today. The

:03:52. > :03:58.older brother of Sasha. How did it feel to play Roger? It was OK when

:03:59. > :04:03.he was 14. I felt confident. Even if he is playing a home-grown player,

:04:04. > :04:08.wherever years, he will probably be the crowd's favourite. He is 35,

:04:09. > :04:12.nearly 36, and this court is home from home, with the success he has

:04:13. > :04:24.had. His career is right out a storybook.

:04:25. > :04:37.# She said, be cool, calm and keep yourself together... #.

:04:38. > :04:45.COMMENTATOR: He's done it. The champion is out. I've always joked

:04:46. > :05:03.around as a boy, I am going to win this.

:05:04. > :05:10.SUE BARKER: So many memories there. The win over Pete Sampras. I sat

:05:11. > :05:14.there watching that mac, thinking, this is the passing of the torch

:05:15. > :05:20.from one generation to another. Although Pete Sampras was not in his

:05:21. > :05:23.-- at his best in that match that tournament, he try to increase the

:05:24. > :05:27.pressure and dominate the younger man, and it just didn't work, and

:05:28. > :05:35.for me, that was the arrival of Federer. It is just the way he hits

:05:36. > :05:39.the ball. Just say, we are staying on BBC One just for another five

:05:40. > :05:43.minutes or so, then we will need to BBC Two, so be prepared. This match

:05:44. > :05:50.on Centre Court will move to BBC Two. Tim, he has had such an

:05:51. > :05:54.incredible year, when you think, six months, coming back, winning the

:05:55. > :05:59.Australian Open. I, for one, have given up being surprised by him,

:06:00. > :06:02.because it is incredible, what he has achieved. To play in the

:06:03. > :06:06.semifinals here last year virtually on one leg, he lost to Raonic, then

:06:07. > :06:11.in consultation with his doctors, took the rest of the year. You

:06:12. > :06:15.think, well, that will be difficult, aged 34, to start building to come

:06:16. > :06:20.back. You can practice as much as you like, but to get the tournament

:06:21. > :06:24.play and the matches under your belt, it takes a long time. And

:06:25. > :06:30.there he is, back in Melbourne, the Grand Slam, playing some of the most

:06:31. > :06:34.amazing tennis I have ever seen. The final, when he was down 3-1 in the

:06:35. > :06:42.fifth against the Dahl, who had beaten him in so many Grand Slam

:06:43. > :06:49.finals, it was an incredible achievement -- against Nadal. He

:06:50. > :06:53.made changes to his racket, had time off, but he has come back even more

:06:54. > :06:58.aggressive. Yes, a bigger racket head. Understanding your body and

:06:59. > :07:08.managing your head is important at this age as well. He decided to take

:07:09. > :07:15.the entire clay-court season. What that matter? He lost the Tommy Haas

:07:16. > :07:25.on grass in Stuttgart... How dare he! And then he won again. You have

:07:26. > :07:30.to understand your game, how to manage your body and your time, and

:07:31. > :07:34.he does. Whatever it is, it is working, time and time again. I

:07:35. > :07:38.think rightly, he is favourite to win this tournament again. And as

:07:39. > :07:43.far as his opponent goes today, looking at the stats, yet to win a

:07:44. > :07:48.set perhaps I should whisper that. He is not the only one, to be dour,

:07:49. > :07:51.who has never won a set against Federer. They have played a couple

:07:52. > :07:56.of times this year, once on grass, which Vedder Rob won. It was a bit

:07:57. > :08:10.tighter. Let's not forget the way that Zverev played against Andy

:08:11. > :08:13.Murray. -- which Federer won. If you are going to be successful against

:08:14. > :08:17.him, you have to be aggressive and try to stop him using his full

:08:18. > :08:23.repertoire. Could he get a set today? He could, but not more than

:08:24. > :08:27.that. The other day, he said he was nervous before he came out, which

:08:28. > :08:30.amazed me. In this environment, the opposition will certainly be

:08:31. > :08:36.nervous. Guess what? We will be moving channels, so Tim and Andrew,

:08:37. > :08:45.thank you very much. We're looking forward to this. Roger Federer up

:08:46. > :08:50.against Mischa Zverev, the older brother of Sasha. We will move this

:08:51. > :08:53.match over in just a moment, so if you want to see Roger Federer in

:08:54. > :08:58.action, switch over. For now, goodbye.
