Day 6, Part 2 Wimbledon

This is the national programme. We are going to take you over to

Wimbledon... He's done it. The majesty -- Her Majesty will present

the trophy. Oh, yes! That is perfect. Irresistible, majestic, in

a class of her own. Wimbledon champion.

Welcome to the middle Saturday of Wimbledon. We have had five days of

sunshine and heat and we expect another full day of play on the

courts of the All-England Club. In addition to our TV coverage you can

watch up to six matches on the Red Button depending on your provider,

and more live courts uninterrupted on the BBC Sport app, website and

connected TVs. And after all the tension of Andy Murray's victory on

Centre Court last night we hope for more drama here this afternoon, and

by the end of the day we should know the last 16 in the men's and ladies

singles. Let's look at the order of play on the show courts. First up on

Centre Court at 1pm, Agnieszka Radwanska against Timea Bacsinszky.

Big hitter Ernests Gulbis against Novak Djokovic, and Mischa Zverev,

older brother of Sasha, against Roger Federer. Raonic starts on

Court One. Dominic Thiem, an up-and-coming star, taking on

another, 20-year-old Jarrod Donaldson. We are going to take you,

you may have been watching on BBC Two, court number three where Grigor

Dimitrov is taking on Dudi Sela, who has just had the trainer on court

but he is back out playing. As you can see Dimitrov has taken the first

set 6-1 and is serving for this game, so let's join our

commentators. COMMENTATOR: It has been a good

start to the second set, especially after the long break for the

trainer. Doesn't seem to have affected Dimitrov.

Sela trying to take the return early. Comfortable service hold from

the Bulgarian. He has only actually last two points on serve so far in

this encounter. I do like the way, though, that Sela is trying

something different. It is not effective at the moment, he is

trying to take the ball a bit earlier and not give Dimitrov so

much time as he did in the first set so he is thinking and at least

coming out with plan Be. He is not accepting his fate. Here's a

thinker. Against Granollers he changed his game style, played more

balls in court, mixed up the spins. Forced back in that rally but gets

away with it. Only made two unforced errors in the first set, Dimitrov,

just his third of the match. How about that? That was a change,

wasn't it? Again, thinking. Only 103 miles an hour in his serve -

volleys. Dimitrov was not expecting it. Good tactics. Good volley.

Snapped that one away. Another day for the sunglasses, I'm

glad to say. Lucky he was following that one in

as well, in the second serve. Struggling, missing the first serve.

Sela has won just three of 11 points in this match so far. A second

double fault. You can tell the crowd wanting to

get behind Sela here, hoping to see a bit more of an encounter.

He has got good hand skills, Sela, has the title to his name on the ATP

Tour doubles circuit. Has never won an ATP Tour singles title.

Oh, pity. I'm surprised he hasn't challenged this one. It was very

close. Interesting to see the umpire's you. Richard Haig said it

was a fraction wide. -- the umpire's view.

Groans from the crowd. Dimitrov has another break point.

The one-way traffic continues as Dimitrov breaks early in the second

set. The winner of this one faces either

Roger Federer or Mischa Zverev, but would you put Dimitrov in your top

five contenders to win the championship 's? Not quite. I put

him just outside of that. Even with this performance is not changing

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

the big four, I wonder who your 50s? -- Puyol fifth is. That is a third

ace will Dimitrov. In the blink of an eye, able to

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

because she has a big introduction job to do but as you can see,

Dimitrov in control of that match. At court two this is the featured

match on the Red Button, former Wimbledon runner-up and French Open

champion Muguruza has taken the second set, it is 1-1 in the second

set. Encore 12 Svetlana Kuznetsova, the seventh seed, took the set

against Hercog and is a break-up already in the second. On Courteix

team Magdalena Ribarikova who pulled off a fabulous win against Pliskova

is still looking strong, arguably on the best form coming into this

tournament having won so many titles, 6-2 to her in the first set

against Tsurenko and they are starting the second set. Let's

rejoin Grigor Dimitrov against Dudi Sela Kirk, who gave the

giant-killing performance when he took out John Isner, but now

struggling with a thigh injury and Dimitrov in control.

COMMENTATOR: Sela who had his right thigh heavily strapped, has taken

the strapping off. We had to delay between the sets when he had

treatment and that was put on. Clearly he felt it was causing some

discomfort. Does just look a little stiff,

almost, with his movement. I wonder he if he will carry on the end of

the second set. Oh! That was a bit cheeky, wasn't

it? I had the feeling he was wanting to try and shorten the points. Nice

hand skills again, though, wasn't it?

That is the serve and volley again. That is the way of shortening the

point if he is carrying an injury. Not quite made it, just lost his

footing at the wrong time, Dimitrov, but an excellent point from Sela and

his team are delighted, the Israelis still showing plenty of fight and

gets himself on the board in this second set.

Oh... Bad volley, that one, just snatched it forward, racket head

down. LAUGHTER Oh! That's a pity. It would

have been a classic if they get bad for winners. If Sela loses this

match at least he will have that shot to take home! LAUGHTER I love

that! Not sure if he would have done that at 3-3 in the first set, but

look at that, classic! Don't try that at home! Good shot. Dimitrov in

his last match did one round the back against bad. Us from the

baseline and won the point so maybe Sela was just trying to outdo him.

When you see that you think players go to their local clubs, shall I try

that? Don't! Especially if you get a higher bouncing ball as well!

LAUGHTER. We talked about concentration

sometimes being an issue with Dimitrov and he is playing a little

bit of a sloppy game. Only dropped two points on serve all match and

has dropped three in this game, so opportunity here for the Israeli to

get the break back. Oh! Dimitrov got there in the end!

He got there, but a couple of shaky points there. That was not a good

half-volley therefrom Dimitrov, good lunch, bad approach shot in the

first place, but he got away with it.

Tight and tense. He looks quite pumped. At the start of the year I

watched him in the Brisbane tournament, the first of the year,

and I noticed he was more animated between the points and had a steely

look to him which he has done throughout much of 2017 of them on

the clay courts, not a good clay-court season. Didn't need his

feet at all there. The ball is caught out. First time

we have seen a challenge from Dimitrov. That's a good one. Shows

how well he's seeing the ball today. Replay the point. Diousse.

That's the first time he has been tested on serve in this match,

Dimitrov, but he passes that test. He is able to hold once again.

A few wispy clouds today. Haven't seen too many clouds in the first

week, John. No, it has been perfect. That man there just got his

concentration back in time, just lost it for a point two and when you

play someone like Dudi Sela, who has the trainer on the court again,

looks like for a massage, he fights. You lose your concentration for a

fraction and he will come at you, and Dimitrov did, just to get

himself out of it in time. He can't take any more medical

time-outs, so just having a bit of a massage. Of course, this is one of

the biggest matches of Dudi Sela's rear. He's reached the fourth round

once here before in 2009 before losing to Djokovic.

Looks like serve and volley will be the tactic for Sela and Dimitrov

alert to it. A different type of set, isn't it,

where seeing in this second set, to what we saw in the first. They had

to change something, and he has certainly done that.

Oh... ! That looked saw when he tried to bend for that volley --

that looked painful. Two more break points.

A good quality first volley there will stop the passing shot a little

bit tougher for Dimitrov. The games have got a little closer.

Again, Sela showing some fight. The problem is now Sela is becoming

a bit predictable with the serve - volley, and Dimitrov is waiting for

it. Just trying to shorten the points, Dudi Sela.

Well... If he does have a thigh injury he did well to get down low

to that volley. Oh, that's brilliant from Dimitrov.

Turns defence into attack. So quick on the court. Good drop shot, too.

Did well to get onto that one. He saw it so early.

This time Dimitrov is able to convert the break point. It's all a

little easy, isn't it, in truth, for the 13 seed right now? A game away

from a 2-0 lead. I like that, though, John. Good

character, not taking his foot off the gas.

Fourth ace, and it brings up three set points.

A little longer than the first set, but again, a clinic from Grigor

Dimitrov. Take the second set 6-1, and that is that, I'm afraid. You

can understand it, Sela really struggling with the thigh injury.

Tried to serve and volley, tried to shorten the points. Smiles from

Dimitrov, he is always a good sport. The Bulgarian will move through to

round four. Just an hour on court. Looked good

in that hour, didn't he? He did. But Sela couldn't offer too much.

Difficult to judge because Dudi Sela didn't have much opposition today,

he was hampered by the problem in the five from the beginning, you

could see it, and he is a warrior, he would not default unless he was

completely restricted with no chance of him carrying on, so a great pity,

some good glimpses as you say, of Dimitrov, but did we see enough to

judge? No, but it is a perfect way to end the first week for Dimitrov,

another day off and ready for the real battles on the Monday. Yes, and

Sela has had a good tournament, a couple of really good five set win

is particularly against John Eisner. Dimitrov through to the fourth round

for the second time in his career here, and last time he got through

to the semifinals in 2014. STUDIO: In that fourth-round Dimitrov will

meet either Zverev or Federer, that match coming up later today on

Centre Court. We will whip over to court two because Garbine Muguruza,

a runner-up here at Wimbledon is edging in on victory against

Cirstea. Let's join our commentators for this match.

COMMENTATOR: Garbine Muguruza a game away from booking a place in the

round of 16. Are very professional performance by Muguruza so far in

this match, good serving, big ground strokes, good shot selection, coming

into the net when she needed to. This could have been a difficult

match for her. Cirstea has many weapons.

Just the frustration on the face of the Romanian as Muguruza has

seemingly gone through the gears to get herself into this position on

the verge of a place in the round of 16.

She has done all that has been required of her, Muguruza. She was a

finalist here in 2015. A Grand Slam winner. Martinez is in hard corner,

the 1994 champion. We just saw martinis there. She is

there because Muguruza's called Chas not travelled.

The emotions have been unchecked from Muguruza which is Ireland

occasion of how she is playing. Very even killed.

She fell to save eight break points in her last service game. She was

broken. It would be good to hold Pinochet can.

A little bit unlucky. If the first shot had not hit then it might have

been modified to. As it was it gave me Muguruza at the time to have a

good hit back at the backhand. Muguruza is inaccurately quarter of

the draw. The winner of the match faces the

winner of Angelique Kerber's match. Can she do Martinez knows what it is

to win here. She has done all she can do, help serve. She is a game

away. It is interesting to know how the

players are failing in the absence of a player like Serena Williams and

this is perhaps a golden opportunity to claim a first Grand Slam title in

the case of Muguruza. Muguruza is in that conversation. She has been to

the final in 2015. The last couple of years, since she won Paris, the

last couple of years has been a bit of a struggle as far as consistency

goes. She is an emotional player. For her to perform on the cord

everything has to be in place off of the cord and sometimes she is on the

edge emotionally. Muguruza has not had any real

standout results this season. She has battled a few minor injuries.

Her ankle shot down when she fell to defend her French Open crown.

Muguruza has been as high as two in the world. She is currently sitting

at 15. We have said a few times about

Cirstea, it is the final shot. Doesn't give herself near enough

time to hit that, is she tried to hit bad for a winner or hit it back

into the Muguruza forehand side? Too many unforced errors from Cirstea

today. It came about from a lovely served from Muguruza to bring up

match point. There it is. Arms aloft, Muguruza is

through to the round of 16. It has taken her just over an hour. One

hour and ten minutes. She is yet to drop a set, today against Cirstea.

6-2, 6-2. I think she will be more than happy. I cannot believe when

she won that last match point should boot both her arms up into the air.

Muguruza knew this was going to be a tough match, didn't she? Just the

joy that we saw when she won one match point goes to show that she

was ready for this today, she was measured, her shot selection was

good. Her effectiveness was good. There are few left in the draw but

Muguruza is a contender for the -- a former finalist in 2015. She will

face the winner of the Angelique Kerber's match.

Almost simultaneously a win for the seventh seed from Russia. 6-4, 6-0.

She knows exactly what goes on. Hugely experienced player.

A relatively straightforward win. One of the stories of the

championship so far is Magdalena Rybarikova who has beaten so. She

was sidelined for most of last season. She marches into the last

16. It is the most lovely day here. A

little bit cooler than yesterday. Those on the outside courts have

been watching practice, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, it is a

funny thing to be able to do. There are doubles and mixed doubles

matches on the outside courts. Later we will be concentrating on the

action on Centre Court and Court One. We start with Agnieszka

Radwanska against Bacsinszky. Roger Federer has been speaking to Phil

Jones. One thing that maybe will surprise

the viewers is that you get nervous still on Centre Court and there was

a bit of that yesterday. Yet, I do not know why that happens but I am

happy, it means I care. It means I am excited for the match. Sometimes

getting rid of the nurse takes a couple of games, sometimes it is a

set. You cannot explain why. That is the beauty of the match situation.

It throws you this pressure and you have to deal with it. It took me a

while to deal with the nurse but I got through it. How would you

measure your level in terms of where you needed to be going forward? Now

I am in the third round and I am facing my first seed it is when you

can tell where my level is at. I did not drop any sense. I have not

received any energy. I am healthy, I feel good. Very is quirky, universe

now what you are going to get. . He played me in Australia and tried to

take the ball early. It will be interesting to see what he will do.

He is most likely going to serve on the first and second serve. I like

to play against those kind of players because we will see

everything that grass court tennis wants to see.

Roger Federer the coolest man on the planet. He is playing me show very.

-- Zverev. He was asked how he would approach the match against Federer.

He said give a mean look. Novak Djokovic has been looking very

relaxed and signing autographs. He has Andre Agassi in his camp. Trying

to find the answer to bigger questions in life. He says tennis as

part of a much bigger picture. Moving his way through to the round

of 16 is his aim today. It is a big day at Wimbledon because in the

middle sat that they invite lots of stars from the world of sport mac.

We are going to see plenty of familiar faces from Rio de Janeiro.

Welcome to Centre Court. In keeping with tradition, the chairman of the

All England Club has invited guests into the Royal Box from the world of

sport and this year we are paying tribute to some of the stars from

last summer's Olympics where Great Britain broke records galore. Three

stars from the pool. Two swimmers who won double gold at the

Paralympics. A breast stroke swimmer who broke the world record to win

gold. Hannah Russell and Adam P T. Staying in the water or other on it,

welcome some more British Olympic champions. Two sailors who turned

London silver into gold and two canoeists who created another golden

splash for Team GB. Saskia Clark, Hannah Mills, Joe Clark and Liam

Heath. Another fantastic rowing regatta for

Great Britain and we are delighted to be joined by some of the gold

winning crew and a woman who retained her title in great style.

Paul Bennett, Matt Langridge, Tom Rienzi, Alex Gregory and Helen

Glover. Another group whose exploits in the

Olympic hockey final had the nation gripped. Their thrilling penalty

shoot out delayed the Ten O'Clock News but it did not matter because

that evening they were the nose. From the Great Britain's women's

hockey team, Hannah McLeod, Jordi Twigg, Helen Richardson Walsh and

Kate Richardson Walsh. Next some more athletes who struck

gold at the Rio Paralympics. A triple gold medallist in dressage,

two runners who is printed to glory in Brazil and a tennis player who

also happens to be a Wimbledon champion. Sophie Kristiansen, Libby

Clegg and her guide Chris Clark, Georgina Hermitage and Gordon Reid.

It was yet another record-breaking Games for Olympic and Paralympic

cyclist and we are thrilled to see many of them here today. Give a

Centre Court welcome to Eleanor Parker, Jordi Cundy, Philip Hinds

and Calum Skinner. We are also delighted to be joined

by two more cyclists who make up Britain's most successful Olympic

couple. Winning an incredible ten gold medals between them, they

haven't finished yet. Isn't that nice? Laura and Jason Kenny.

Finally, a man who is very familiar with its famous arena, a tennis

player who retained his Olympic title in Rio and this crowd are

hoping he will be retaining his Wimbledon title in eight days.

Welcome back to Centre Court Andy Murray.

They love you, Andy. All of London's emergency services provide support

for the Championships, many as volunteers. Armed forces personnel

is a body by members of the London Fire Brigade have been stewarding

the show courts. Many of them have shown their professionalism, bravery

and dedication in active service in the most demanding of circumstances.

We are honoured they are here. Show your appreciation for our stewards

at the Royal Box guests. We are going to take you over to

Wimbledon for running commentary of the all England championship...

Tennis played a crucial part in when colour was introduced.

That was Pat Cash in his element. I think he said that was the second

best time he has had here at Wimbledon after winning the trophy.

A bit of fun there. Billie Jean and Tracy are with me. Can you believe

it? I saw your story. I love you and virgin you walking in Central Park.

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

Wasn't that lovely with Andy Murray? He was so embarrassed. He beat the

greatest player ever at home in Great Britain on Centre Court at

Wimbledon. I couldn't believe it. The script was written in heaven.

But this was going to happen. Such a great moment for Great Britain and

all of us throughout the world. I remember when he won here. Perfect.

I love the guy. He deals with it so well. A lot of players would buckle

under that. Gerber had trouble last year after winning so much. Two

majors and losing the finals here. She did not like the off the court

pressures that came with it and she has not played as well because of

that. It is amazing. People do not realise when they get to the job it

is what comes with it. She was used at having time to herself and she

was not getting it. It was -- is interesting to see how Babel cope

with being number one. Even yesterday the way he called with

Fabio Fognini. Fognini must be very difficult to play because his game

is awkward, he gives you know them. He gets the treatment for his ankle

and he comes out and is running beautifully and Andy faced five set

points and that could been very dangerous if it went to a fifth and

it would probably have got dark. Andy seems to love the challenge and

a feeling of trying to problems of and how can I work less point out?

That is what is so important? He does not think about winning and

losing and the expectations of the crowd. He uses the crowd. He knows

when to pump them up. He seems to thrive on it. That is what great

champions do, find a way to win. They embrace the moment, the crowd,

their energy, they find a way to win the big points and that is what

makes them extra good. Up the level just enough to win the point.

Fognini is a really hard to play. Very difficult. Andy said I could

try to overpower him. He was mixing it up a lot. And he needs to go to

the net more or be more aggressive if he is going to win. He has

defined that happy medium to be appropriately aggressive. Getting in

their face and giving pleasure. Going against what he does that

truly. He likes to retreat. Andy can do anything. He just has to get in

the mindset. Look for the openings, sunlight, go forward more. Not all

the time, but look for that. That is what Lendl wants to do. Two match

points. Maybe I have that wrong. It is not going to be all about power,

it is about changes of pace, drop shots, using all forms of the game

and both have such high tennis IQs because they do not have that

ability with one shot. It is going to be a lot of fun. Both have had

subpar years coming into Wimbledon. Bacsinszky got to the semifinal of

the French. It is something players have a difficulty with us you change

rackets. Probably for this reason. You think? It was a different head.

They messed with your head. It is one of the things that is difficult

to change. She lost confidence. Other players felt they could beat

her. She has changed back. Real opportunity in this top half of the

draw. Here they come. Watching her play, she is so

difficult, she runs everything down. Difficulty with the right foot, I am

going to look for that. She is like a chess player, tactically amazing.

The one thing she lacks is power. I love watching her play. How her mind

works. Can you imagine how great she would be at you had a couple of big

weapons? She is slight compared to some of the other athletes on court.

Bacsinszky's forehand is weak and the backhand is beautiful. Top money

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

Change of the racket and the foot injury. She depends on her foot

speed. She uses a lot of defends to get the extra ball back in play

because all of the points are going to go two, three, four. It is the

beauty of using the entire court and that is what both of them do. She is

going to have to decide, she has never beaten Bacsinszky, does she

want to go with the forehand to the weaker side, it is going to slice

more, drop shot more, but the backhand is much more powerful?

We mentioned Angelique Kerber, no one was talking about her before as

we look at who is here. Muguruza and Kuznetsova are already through. Who

to look out for in this top half, you mentioned Angelique Kerber, she

is going through OK. She is going through all right but I think she is

lacking self-confidence that needs to find her form. She has to work

hard on her serve. I love her spot shot, she can go so low, her centre

of gravity is so low especially on the

backhand, I her a lot because she has to work hard, she is not as tall

as some other players. She's a great athlete and I hope she feels

confident. Self-confidence is so important. Muguruza impressive

today, now working with Conchita Martinez. She is calming and gets

her focus really well. I think it really helps Muguruza. She has the

game for grass. She does but winning the French Open last year as well.

She hasn't been back to the final anywhere since so struggles with

extra expectations, more attention. I think it's soon as she comes in

here she recognises that her ground strokes, if she can get confidence

behind those that had such weapons, big serves us well. Three former

finalist in the top half but I still consider that was a huge upset in my

opinion when she lost the other day. This draw is wide open. It will all

be about who can find the confidence match by match to get better and

play their way in, and Wimbledon is just sitting there! Everyone thinks

Johanna Konta is going to win. Do you know what she did? She went to a

sports psychologist. A lot of players don't want to do that. You

have to be vulnerable and search yourself and learn to change and

change yourself talk because you are what you think. And I love her for

that. She paid the price at the emotional office. It is the

emotional strength that makes great champions, not just the mental and

physical strength, and that I find at the top of the most important

quality. Mental is what you think. It is what you feel. As well, when

you are right there in this match point. Explain, what you feel? Am I

getting shaky, and my nervous, what is going on? That self-awareness and

the awareness of what is happening. The players who are stronger

emotionally really truly believe in themselves, you need the inner

strength at important times like Federer has it. They believe they

can do this, and they stay in the right place in their intensity.

There is a nod I think about that you have to keep... I don't know how

you feel like this, but I think there is an intensity level that is

best for that person and you have to know what is best for you and you

are constantly adapting it throughout your match because

sometimes you get lulled and have to bring your intensity upon sometimes

you had is to run and need to it down. Where do I need to be to play

my best? That is what players need to know about themselves. That's

what I find listening to players, they cannot get the intensity where

they need it, the dial. It is a lot of work in a match. It ebbs and

flows in the match player and that is what it is about. Now I know

where I went wrong! Where were you in 1976, Billie Jean?! You did just

fine! She has played well and even better yesterday and not looking too

far ahead. We are trying to push into the final but she is not

looking too far ahead. It is the mental training she has done in the

last couple of years. It was only three years ago she was outside the

top 150 and now it is the mental balance she has found that has

changed. I covered her match yesterday and Billie Jean is right,

the intensity she has, not so intense that it is bubbling over and

she is too nervous and big moments, she can control and manage it.

Certain trigger when she goes through, that is the mental training

she did, and I believe she wants to win the title but knows she cannot

look too far ahead. She knows it is one ball at a time. Players think

one point, no, it is one ball. But Shinseki's story is amazing. Four

years ago she left the game and worked in a hotel -- but Shinseki.

Then she found out she was good enough to go to the French Open and

she fell in love with the game against. She was pushed by her

parents, particularly her dad, and never love the sport on her own and

was ranked 40 in the world. Maybe one and one third round of a major,

now she has returned she has the French Open, a terrific coach, she

has come back and is in great shape and consistently making a deep run

for majors so it is phenomenal. The key, she is playing for herself not

anybody else. She says she is loving it again. That is how you win. The

great matches we have had here... This is the best, I love it. Tracy

is on her way to call this match with David Mercer, all yours, David.

COMMENTATOR: Tutor Macca semifinalist at Roland Baros two

weeks ago. Up against a former finalist here in Agnieszka

Radwanska. Don't know what she is asking the umpire for this one. She

was extraordinary, so many injuries that the start of the decade, found

herself working in a Swiss hotel learning about the hospitality

industry. Agnieszka Radwanska... Short of her best this year.

One both her previous matches, Bacsinszky.

Got the Bali all wrong there, Radwanska, and straightaway, three

break points. -- got the volley all wrong there.

That the weaker side for Bacsinszky. Forehand. The backhand a real

weapon. Radwanska displaying her defensive

skills. She is one of the best movers on the court. Supreme

athlete. Radwanska getting that point through

placement, and she's all about hitting the ball in a spot that

makes it awkward for her opponent. Will not outhit or overpower anyone.

The combinations of shots will get the job done.

Just a little enquiry about the call, but decided not to challenge.

We have seen more of those unforced errors from Radwanska this year.

Very stingy with those, particularly coming back from 0-40 in this game.

Now facing another break point. Oh, what a glorious rally, ended

with a fabulous pass to get the break.

It is cat and mouse tennis, isn't it? They are looking for angles and

openings, they are not going to bludgeon their way to victory.

Getting that point alone you saw three forehand slices which you

rarely see these days in tennis. They throw everything at the kitchen

is -- but the kitchen sink at each other, different spins, use the

length of the court, so often today we just see the whip, left and

right. -- the width of the court. Radwanska feels very comfortable to

move forward. Some excellent follies, but a couple of good passes

therefrom Bacsinszky -- excellent volleys.

Interesting to see that last shot choice from Bacsinszky, middle of

the court and she chooses to take a backhand. She clearly favours that

side. Such a well played point from

Radwanska, pulling Bacsinszky left and right with authority. Then a

delicate drop shot. That horse was way too far out in

front. Right onto the sideline. The

backhand can crack it open with one shot, great weight transfer, steps

into it. Slipping right underneath the box.

He is up on his feet again immediately.

So, well executed, great accuracy and length on their shots, and that

wanted the job. 23 shots! A strange coincidence, they both

came back from 0-40. Now, love that combination,

Radwanska with the backhand slice to the forehand of Bacsinszky. Calling

upon her to create her own pace of that forehand wing, then had back

and the line. -- had backhand up the line. So much variety from

Radwanska. Both down 0-40, both get back, and

both still lose their serves. I suspect we will see a lot of service

breaks two days. Returned very well and both are used to getting their

service broken. Great agility, great foot speed.

That was very close. Yes, I'm not surprised she is challenging. I'd

hate to call it myself. Oh... Write it was. -- correct it was.

Oh, it's always special if you get the winner office smash. Bridging

ski -- Bacsinszky didn't do much with that overhead and not only is

Radwanska fast but she has great anticipation.

Oh, dear. Radwanska holds to love and leads to- one. STUDIO: We will

stay here on Centre Court at the moment but will round up what has

been happening elsewhere, and one result to bring you, Jo-Wilfried

Tsonga is out in the continuation of a match stopped because of bad light

last night. Tsonga had to serve to stay in the match at 6-5 and

couldn't do it so one game played and Sam Querrey goes through.

Exactly a repeat of what happened to Tsonga in the French Open when he

had to come out the next day and serve to stay in the match and lost

that servers well. So a sad sight to see Jo-Wilfried Tsonga go out, but

Sam Querrey is through to face Kevin Anderson, another big server. We can

quickly update you on a couple of courts, this match is on BBC Two,

Gael Monfils has broken back against Adrian Mannarino and Mannarino has

just saved a set point. That is on BBC Two. On Court One, last year's

runner-up Milos Raonic, 4-4, on serve against Ramos-Vinolas, our

featured game on the Red Button. Back we go to Centre Court.

COMMENTATOR: So Timea Bacsinszky coming back to serve. With so many

British Olympic medallists in the Royal box, this is another Olympic

medallist, she won silver in the women's doubles in Rio in

partnership with Martina Hingis. Lost to the Russians.

Just left a lovely play. So in control of this point, got

Bacsinszky forward, then lobbed volley, back you go. So important

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

her. -- old racket back. It's painted black, the racket,

because of course she is under contract to a different

manufacturer. They cannot possibly have the sponsor's logo of the old

racket. I was reading in the morning papers

that Rory McIlroy is struggling to get used to a new set of golf clubs

because his previous sponsor of course no longer makes golf club is.

That is the one thing I don't think you can make a concession to, no

matter how much they pay you. Clothes, shoes...

Did you play with the same racket throughout your career? That's an

interesting story. I did change but the markings and the colouring and

everything was just like my old racket so when I took it back it

felt very similar. Radwanska picking and plotting and

really building the point, then hitting this approach very early.

Must be an absolute relief if he finally break down the Radwanska

defences. Hope for Bacsinszky to take that one on the rise, send the

message that she will always be able to throw off that lob.

Such a huge disparity in speed between the backhand of Bacsinszky

and the forehand. That is Bacsinszky's coach. A huge reason

why she has got to the elite part of the game.

Oh, a corrected call by the line judge. And his correction is now

being challenged by Bacsinszky. But he was right. He corrected

himself. They will have to replay the point.

One challenge left and just the fourth game.

Come on, she deserves the clap for winning that game. Saving the break

point. Eastern face. A hold each. Already the first four games have

taken 22 minutes. So much crafting these shots. So

much thinking. I can make it awkward for my opponent.

Unusual unforced errors from Bacsinszky. I do not know a player

on Tour that runs around their forehand more than Bacsinszky does.

When you have the backhand like that, it makes sense. Much more

technically sound than the forehand. That is a rare really poor shot from

Radwanska. It caught the net max. You are being generous. Break point.

Bacsinszky breaks again. That gets the clap.

One or two unforced errors have been flown in from both of them.

Radwanska, not the most important moment of her year, she is getting

married in a few months, that will be the equivalent of a royal wedding

in Poland because she is huge in Poland. The man in the white cap in

the middle is her fiance. The gentleman leaning forward with the

beard is hard physio whose name is utterly unpronounceable! How coaches

on the left. -- her coach. I can just about get my tongue around her

current's name. Her fiance started as hard-hitting partner. It is a big

moment. More things to deal with this year for anger, the racket

change and the right foot, missed a few tournaments in the clay-court

season. Just has not had the solid same season. She ranked in the top

ten consistently for the past six years. Number 10.

Again, close call. Radwanska decides to go to Hawk-Eye this time. Wisely.

Replay the point. Not enough on the return. Radwanska

the middle of the court that up. A couple of backhand is later and she

unloads at a beautiful angle. That grip is so western. You might

even call it how iron. Hit the line. What happens when it hit backs the

line it grips a little on the titanium that marks the court and

stops... Quite often you see a player missed by me at or swinging

too early. I guess we have to say that was an ace.

Bacsinszky really starting to look comfortable on the squad. Has not

played nearly as many matches on Centre Court, it can be

intimidating. Radwanska was a finalist here in 2012. Other times

the semifinalist. Radwanska immediately try something

different, moves forward, because she is struggling to get the

firepower. She definitely needs to get maudlin down her shot s,

Radwanska. Radwanska's younger sister has

played on the Tour but has been affected by injuries many times. I

often think when I watch Aga playing, in my very younger days

when I was playing tennis I used to play against the garage door run the

ball keeps coming back, many people have a practice draw at their club,

and she reminds me of that, because it keeps coming back against her.

That is because of her defensive ability, or anticipation. She has

quick feet. Soft hands. This ability to place the ball. In the right

spot. High tennis IQ. Usually comes up with the rate shot at the right

time. Knows her capabilities. The roof has stayed mercifully shut the

role... Open, I should say, apart from the briefest of periods on

Monday. Let us hope that continues to be the case in the second week.

New balls. That is the most powerful shot on

the court. Drive through the ball very flat.

Really important game for Bacsinszky. She has the momentum.

She is hitting with confidence. She cannot have a concentration lapse on

her own serve. Wobbled a little bit in the smash earlier, she will be

guide to have got that one away. That's the coach. So important in

her comeback. Solid hold. Bad well-documented

story how Bacsinszky was out for most of the Max seasons with various

injuries and got the automated email to come and play the French

qualifying and went back and played and decided she was going to play

for herself, she was enjoying it again, passionate again, this coach

made her believe she can get to the top of the game.

Pausing in the corner. Makes all the difference in the world. She also

discovered it was rather better than being a Hotel receptionist, which is

what you was doing. Certainly the peers better. ?90,000 forgetting

thus far. Her first career, as she calls it,

getting to number 40 in the world, meeting it to the stage in a major

only once. Since coming back it has been eked times. Such a better

player. It is a total change. You were one

of their teenage Feeney and it seems players reach their best when they

are plus 30. Bacsinszky challenges the call. She

better be right because if not she has got no more challenges left.

Bacsinszky has no challenges remaining.

Of course we saw with Fabio Fognini last night, he was out of challenges

and he stopped playing, thinking I am going to challenge. Tough. A

crucial moment against Andy Murray. Loose points for Radwanska. The

chance of set point. Made it. Bacsinszky has the first

set after 41 minutes. Yes, big celebration from Bacsinszky

to take the opening set on Centre Court. We can show you what is

happening elsewhere. Court Two, Angelique Kerber is in trouble.

Shelby Rogers 4-3 up and serving against the world number one. That

is on BBC Two. Court One, me was Raonic has taken the first set on

the tie-break 7-3 and he has just broken. Last year's runner-up is

going well. That is on the red button. Gael Monfils dropped the

first set in the tie-break 7-3 to his fellow Frenchman. That is on the

red button and the BBC Sport website. This one is on the red

button and the BBC Sport website, the player coached by Pat Cash. She

has such a big game, so good on the grass. She is in control. Back to

Centre Court. The scoreboard outside Centre Court in the southern side of

the grounds confirming that Bacsinszky, the 19th feed, as the

first set against the ninth seed. Radwanska is going to have to up the

level of her play. She is just not able to get Bacsinszky off balance

enough. She tried to be disruptive with the different slices but she's

really dialled them now. The returns have not had enough sting or depth

from Radwanska. Too many of those. Radwanska has not

had a lot of winners but she has very low count for mistakes.

Another magnificent backhand and it is a love service game for their

Swiss to start the second set. The key to me when you are showing

unforced errors, you have to show the winners as well because

Bacsinszky is plus four on winners to unforced errors. Plus four or

-4-mac equals a differential of two games. Lost the last three games,

Radwanska, need this one. Normally you might ask if she had to

go for the line but then you remember who she is playing against

and you feel you have to go for the line to hit a clean winner.

Bacsinszky in the forehand corner playing backhands. So much more

offences. I would like to see Radwanska hit it

early like that, try someone approaches forward. Got to Jane

something. The key in tennis is to rush your

opponent and if you cannot hit extra hard try to hit it early. It gets

the same effect. The first double fault of the match.

Radwanska's third of the Championships. This is her third

match. Thomas, coach, a little nervous.

Very subtle, but that is a big point to hold. Trying to stop the momentum

of Bacsinszky, and that is a free right there. A gift from Radwanska.

Lovely skills again. So fun to watch. Taking all of the pace out of

the drop volley. Graceful athlete. 72 mph second serve punished. Eight

tenths back and clean winner of the match. All the way to the front

foot. Coming through the body, through the legs.

The third deuce of the game making this the longest game of the match

so far. First serve crucial here. Radwanska making four of 11. She

throws in a second serve. There is that anticipation you were

talking about. It is moving at exactly the right moment. She holds

it. Until Bacsinszky commits, and then she moves to her left.

The timing and the balance, everything is just so much better on

that backhand side. For Bacsinszky, the commitment and confidence as

well. Getting up towards seven and a half minutes for this game so far.

We are back in deuce. With that extreme forehand grip of

Bacsinszky, so difficult to whip it offer very low ball, so that is a

good approach from Radwanska. A little bit of slice.

Had to work hard for it before, it was an important game, just to slow

her down, Bacsinszky. Great scrambling from Radwanska, it is

what she is so good at, keeping that point alive. Testing her opponent.

Radwanska was a set down in the previous round. Two match points

down in the second set tie-break, but came out on top in the end.

Much better return. Just had something on it, too many of these

returns have been sitting in the middle of the court, Bacsinszky can

start taking control of the point. Boots! She has a wasp, or B.

Hopefully not flying ant. Enough of those the other day for the whole

year, I think. Two break points now for Radwanska.

Radwanska 16 421 when coming forward. I like that ratio. Needs to

look for that more frequently -- 16-21.

There is the break, and Radwanska takes the lead in the second set to-

one. Talking of flying ants, I feel sorry

for the fellas because they take off to mate, then they made, and the

guys die and the girls burrowing new nest and read a new generation, but

a moment of pleasure and then goodbye! You are bringing all sorts

of things to this match! By the way, I don't know if we have ants in the

United States, I was looking about the other day. You just have

rattlesnakes and alligators! I think one of the nice things about the

women's game at the moment, we saw the Johanna Konta match was

brilliant, big hitting. This is a subtler affair, gentler flavours,

greater variety of play. Yes, I love that. Tennis has everything right

now from so many different countries, so many different ages.

Players in the mid-20s, Victoria Azarenka coming back, Venus

Williams, 37. Lots of variety. 2-1, second set, having lost the

first. She knew as soon as she had hinted

it was never going to get over the net.

That subtle drop shot Miss on the second point. That is a lot due to

lack of confidence. Look at Radwanska's record here, just 13 in

ten. For someone of her stature that is an astounding record.

And halfway through the year, she is still ranked tenth in the world. On

the road to Singapore, that is the basis of your ranking from January

one of this year, and it is 40. Yes, Bacsinszky 19 in that department.

The race to Singapore, to determine the top eight. The equivalent of the

ATP Tour world finals that we have here in London at the O2 arena.

Even the coaches have patches these days! For sponsors.

Don't play the drop shot to the backhand! Playing to the well just a

little too frequently. But Shinseki is off the mark quickly there. --

Bacsinszky is off the mark. The chance to break back

immediately, then. Radwanska trying to get Bacsinszky

off-balance on that forehand. Got that one deep enough. Bacsinszky hip

point on the forehand isn't as much out front and on her front foot as

the backhand side. That's an example right there of

using the whole court. Had she got the ball deep and Radwanska got it

back... Once again, Radwanska having a real

struggle to hold serve. Four deuces in her last service game, three now

in this one. Radwanska smart to serve that second

serve to the forehand of Bacsinszky. You cannot punish that side as much.

Again, working really hard but managing to hold, and it is three

games in a row for Radwanska. Thought that was one of the reasons

the Azarenka- Watson match turned around yesterday that she started to

attack Heather's forehand more in the second set. Getting more

aggressive as well, but targeted on the other side.

That is great racket work from Bacsinszky there. It was very low.

Just got underneath it, up with Justin up top-spin to create the

angle -- just enough top-spin. I thought for a moment she had made

a mistake by going back to where Radwanska was but because it is such

a short angle it was good enough. This soft on grass, it doesn't come

through the court. It stopped. Oh! It is glorious to see this

backhand in full flight. It just meant at the last second it was a

little late, then quickly got that bracket through with the left hand.

So Bacsinszky holds but Radwanska lead 3-2 with the break, second set.

STUDIO: So little between these two on Centre Court. We will be back

with this one but we are just going to drop in on court 12. This

happened a short time ago, Gael Monfils, a great entertainer, every

shot in the book, what about this? He hits a winner. Shall we call it

the turnaround shot? That was a while ago. He broke serve in that

game and has now battled serve in the second set so 4-4 but Mannarino

having taken the first. That matches on the Red Button on the BBC Sport

website. He is still smiling out there. It is on court 12. Here, we

are heading back to this one. COMMENTATOR: Very much involved in

this second set, Bacsinszky. Just the one break behind.

These lovely images from our super slow camera. Beautifully

illustrating their how she takes that backhand out in front of her.

LAUGHTER. They've been watching too many flying ants! Thank you, ready

to play, please, ladies and gentlemen.

3-2, Radwanska serving but a set down.

No doubt who is the more solid overhead. Solid in the forecourt, as

well, with her volleys but also in her positioning up there, Radwanska.

Another of those awkward bounces off the line. Just stops, titanium

pigment. These days, not chalk. Dangerous going into the backhand

side. So confident, so accurate. Anywhere on that wing.

From 30-0 to 30-40, and another break back chance.

This needs to be a first serve and go to the forehand here.

Approach to the forehand much better. Well, Bacsinszky

challenging, but I reckon detainee pigment flew up! Doesn't quite have

the same ring as the famous Johnny Mac outburst. Nobody can argue with

Hawk-Eye. Do you think John would have tried

to argue with Hawk-Eye? Remember we had the old cyclops machine that

used to call the service line only. The Stasi got down on both knees

aren't prodded distant declared, made in Russia, it's lying it wasn't

very good. Oh, that wasn't very good -- implying it wasn't very good.

That opportunity could be very costly, could go for- two in the

second set. Every Radwanska service game in this set has been a deuce

game and deuce game. -- aid multiple deuce game.

Radwanska uses her legs so well to absorb the pace. These punishing

ground strokes coming at her. The support camp of Radwanska or

standing up. She is playing much more aggression, more offensive

minded, and this is very tough to time. Ball coming at you with a lot

of pace, and just a dropped shot. Oh, Radwanska, you turned that point

around with the little lob around the backhand wing.

If you wonder whether Bacsinszky name comes from, her parents are

Hungarian. Just like Johanna Konta. We could have an all Hungarian

final! Certainly wide open, the draw. That bottom half looks a

little stronger to me, Stepanenko, Konta, Azarenka, Halep. Love game

for Bacsinszky as she continues to stay in touch. The lead is down to

4-3. STUDIO: And we will be back on Centre Court in a moment but a lot

is happening elsewhere, and on the outside courts, Court number three,

CoCo Vandeweghe of the United States, the 24th seed outhit Alison

Riske her countrywoman 6-2, 6-4. Big serve and forehand, obviously good

friends. She is through and her coach will be delighted with that.

She is through to the second week of the Championships. Very popular on

all. And Petra Martic of Croatia has come through against a Zarina Diyas,

76, six one. Martic of Croatia is through to the second week of

Wimbledon. Big smiles out on court 18. We can update you on what is

happening on court two, number one seed Angelique Kerber was a break

down in the second set having lost the opening set to Shelby Rogers.

She has just broken back and if you want to watch that match, it is on

BBC Two. But here, we are heading back to Centre COMMENTATOR:

Bacsinszky has had the trainer out just puts on tape over her right

angle -- ankle. You can see that little bit of brown tape over the

sock. I don't think it is anything of any great significance. Radwanska

serving with new balls. Makes it look so easy, picking up a

bit of grass. One two divots coming up. The shoes create divots. If the

ball hits that, it will have a very uneven bounce.

It has been so hot. The grass has taken a beating. That is why it

needs a day off tomorrow. It will be a day off for the ground staff.

Another one. Yes, smiles all round in the crowd. Both players move so

well. Such an are set to be able to hit an offensive shot in a defensive

position. That little applause from Radwanska.

The crowd really enjoying this contest. It is not just about power,

it is about exploiting the other player's weaknesses, movement.

Trying to get the point through disruption. Radwanska has been to

the net on 31 points and won 22 of them. Surely the secret of success

for her. Such a difference if she can get the

ball to Bacsinszky's forehand. Extreme winners off of the backhand.

Serving to stay in the second set. Brilliant bit of fielding.

The first ace of the match for Bacsinszky. Only her fourth of the

Championships. Cannot save Radwanska. How many

times do we see Radwanska in a defensive position? She gets that

lob up so close to the baseline and restarts the point.

That was a Radwanska point of view have ever seen one. Get in trouble

on the return and just dropped it Andrew Bacsinszky forward and then

the lob. Measures it perfectly. A squeal from Bacsinszky. She keeps

the second set life and forces Radwanska...

It is that old serve it out question. Can you serve it out? She

has had the schemes on her set, Radwanska. Bacsinszky has had two

chances to break back. Point by point, is that the old cliche?

Absolutely. If it is anybody who needs to get first serves in it is

Radwanska. She does not have the pace on the second serve and it is

so adaptable. She usually gets a high number of her first serves in.

The second serve is 45%. Often times it is also her accuracy on the first

serve. Mixing it up to the different sports, getting close lines.

Badlands guy has the natural slice which is effective on the grass. She

needs to stay aggressive minded. Trying to serve their second set

out. The instant apology from Bacsinszky.

That was a totally mis-hit drive volley. Sometimes the mis-hits on

grass can be the most effective. Bacsinszky challenging the call. The

ball was called in. Absolutely crucial, this. It did just find the

sideline. Bacsinszky has one challenge remaining. It would not

have been an easy smash for Radwanska. Got the serve to the

forehand and got the cheap point. Rather gifting this game away.

Radwanska has two said points to level the match.

It is one set all after an hour and 33 minutes. Radwanska wins the

second set 6-4. All to play for on Centre Court. We

will be right back with it. Milos Raonic 2-0 set up. That is the

feature match on the red button. Last year's finalist going well.

Shelby Rogers of the United States is the second break up against the

player in your picture, the top seed, Angelique Kerber. She has

broken back. Rogers has a point to take this into a second set

tie-break. That is on BBC Two. Henman Hill is very busy once again.

A wonderful order of play on Centre Court. Following this match there is

Novak Djokovic and then Roger Federer. We have been spoiled with

the weather. We have only had a little bit of drizzle. Play going on

on all of the courts. The junior events are getting under way and the

doubles. A lot to get through. A busy schedule for the tournament

referees. Lovely scenes at Wimbledon, everybody enjoying the

weather and the tennis. Let us rejoin Centre Court.

One set all. Bacsinszky has asked for the trainer to return. Right on

cue. Is it still the right ankle? Feeling a little bit in the thighs.

So much demand on the lower body to get lower on this surface to absorb

the power and be ready for an awkward bounce, uneven bounce. The

first couple of days of practice you are extra so. In the glutes and in

the thighs. Can I play devil's advocate? If somebody turns an ankle

or has an injury, I am not talking something horrendous, it seems to me

fair enough, but if you are a bit tired in your glutes, why should you

be allowed to have the trainer? Isn't your physical preparation and

how strong you are part of the game? There used to be a rule in place

that if you had cramps you could not get treated. Bacsinszky will say

that this is a strain on so she will probably want to get some tape on it

to give it some support. Radwanska will go out and stay warm, Steelers.

Get a few serves. She played a phenomenal second set. She employed

some better tactics. More offensive, ten winners as opposed to five the

--s. Coming to the net every opportunity. Her court positioning

was better. Aga has such good hands, she is able to absorb the base.

Bacsinszky is receiving medical treatment. She has three minutes to

treat. The umpire says this period has started. A little bit of

bandaging is going on. First the spray goes on, it is sticky so what

comes next will stick. I can always remember even at Roland Garros

playing Mary Pierce had some treatment and got one of the ball

boys out and had a little hit. The French crowd loved it. Suddenly the

French favourite was no longer the code's favourite. Mary is here.

Trevor McDonald. He loves his sport. He was at Lord's rhythm of the

cricket. Merry here working for our colleagues on BBC Radio 5 live with

her excellent commentary team. I was listening to them on the Andy Murray

much driving home last night. Lord King. The governor of the Bank of

England, former. Yes, a cross between water poll and tennis. I

think they want to be on TV! I am told... I have never played it, I am

told water polo is absolutely vicious, there is a lot goes on

under the water. That you cannot see. Imagine trying to stay afloat

for 45 minutes or an error with people pulling on you or scratching

you. The last bit of tape goes around Bacsinszky's leg. Some going

on the front portion of the thigh, the crisscross version, to try to

unload where she feels a bit of a strain. Both players played just one

grass court prep tournament, losing in their opening-round in

Eastbourne. A couple of tablets for Bacsinszky. Playing their way into

this tournament into form, Bacsinszky getting into the

semi-finals of the French Open. That is more appropriate at where.

You see a delay of 7.5 minutes. Will that have affected Radwanska's

rhythm? Really tough to pick here because

they have played twice, Bacsinszky has won twice, both on hard courts.

Radwanska has had the better results at Wimbledon. Semifinalist a couple

of times and finalist ones. So accurate with that backhand. In

early take-back, great transfer, and coils the shoulders and hips.

Three slices in a row. You will not see that on any other surface. This

surface is so low. A chance for Radwanska to break straightaway in

this deciding set. A huge screen from rats --

Bacsinszky. A huge point, especially for Bacsinszky. Slices turning the

demand on the left side. Getting down time and again. 27 shot rally.

The longest of the match. Not up, surely. Double bounce. You

have a frame, you might as well use it. There was not much string on

that last shot of Bacsinszky. Need off of the end of the racket.

A second break point. Much better returning from Radwanska in the

second set and into the third, compared to the first. Hitting with

more conviction. Radwanska gets the perfect start to

the final set. The coach on the left will be

thrilled and fiance in the wet -- whitecaps. Radwanska is beginning to

wear down Bacsinszky mentally and physically. It is like going against

a wall, it is so tough coming up with winners against her.

Consistent. She will hit hard, fast and low and throw in a slice. Deep

and then short. The ball came much slower than she

thought. I do not think she was saying what a nice afternoon it is!

I do not think it was any of the four official Swiss languages,

French, German, Italian, Raman. Roger can speak all four. She better

get her focus back. That is two backhands from a neutral position in

the court in the net. Just a little lull, you sense, in

the match, it sometimes happens with a long match, the start of a new

set. It is like rebooting your computer. So it is running perfectly

again. The best and the best there are no

lulls or the art short, they recognise it and get back to work. I

doubt Roger has had a lull in many of his matches. That is incredible.

Could anybody else hit that shot? This is just knowing what you are

capable of unjust that the last second she was late so she

improvised. Yes, got so much side spin on the ball. Final set.

And the body language reflects that, getting very frustrated with

herself. She stole that point. The overhead

of Bacsinszky has not been good all match, and another one is missed.

But she had the easy put away ball and did nothing with it. 0- two,

0-30. This is crisis time for the Swiss.

This is what Radwanska will do - she will get so many balls back and

play, start to extract the errors, her opponent. To overplay and get

frustrated. -- her opponent will start to overplay.

Oh, another one! The break of serve to love. And the odds-on Radwanska

are shortening by the second. She has just gotten under the skin

of Bacsinszky. She has gotten in her mind on these overheads. She let

that one drop too low, overthinking it now. So much fun to watch

Radwanska, because she has worked her way into this match, fought her

way out of that second set. It was a couple of years ago that Andy Murray

said that he loved to watch Radwanska play because of her

intelligence, because of her variety. Andy uses a lot of the same

shots. The backhand slice in particular. He uses the one hand,

just as Radwanska does. Change pace to draw the opponent forward where

they don't feel comfortable, moving into the forecourt. Then the odd

drop shot. Great defensive skills. They would make a good mixed doubles

team, wouldn't they? You were a mixed doubles champion here with

your brother, of course. All was a little delay after three

games, because you are not allowed back in after the first game of set.

67 mph second serve. Served one at 63, I can tell you, against Kristyna

McHale. Excellent timing and footwork. To

get the right spacing between you and the ball.

No, getting desperate. Trying to come up with the almost impossible

shots. Five games in a row for Radwanska.

As we come up towards the two-hour mark, one player now totally in

command. Really impressive, the weather Radwanska has been able to

turn this match around. She was outhit completely in the first set.

Radwanska starting to get more depth on her shots, using the slice more

effectively, started playing the Bacsinszky forehand more frequently.

When you look at Radwanska's results, it's at Wimbledon that she

has had their best results by far in any of the majors. The US Open, she

has only been to the fourth round. Never even to the quarterfinals.

Did she make that? UMPIRE: Miss Radwanska challenges the call. The

ball was called in. It is at the far end from us. Oh, that is missed by a

country mile. Not a good call. She has hardly hit a smash in court all

match. One, I think. We reach the two-hour mark.

For Bacsinszky, I'm afraid, the end is nigh. Great competitor. She will

never give up, Bacsinszky, and she will try to problem solve, but

Radwanska seems to have all the answers, the consistency, terrific

movement today. That is getting through perhaps on

one of those divots. And almost certainly now, Radwanska

looking at a fourth-round encounter against two-time Grand Slam champion

Svetlana Kuznetsova, who has won both the French and US Opens in her

career. And that will be a contrast, because Kuznetsova will have the

power. Two reasons why grass really suits Agnieszka Radwanska - one, she

is able to use that power against her opponent. And second, because

she has the subtle skills with a little slice that keeps the ball low

on a grass court... Absolutely, that ability to improvise. Such great

hand skills. And her serve as that bit of slice to move through the

court. You know, Radwanska, at 28 years old, has always been one of

those players you feel like, can she break through and win a major? Well,

this would be it, a wide-open drawl. -- a wide-open draw.

Oh, perfect! I love the little pop from Radwanska after she played that

drop shot, encouraging it to go over the net.

Absolutely flying now, Agnieszka Radwanska. That's the best I think

that she has played all year. The finals of Sydney at the beginning of

the year, not much -- improved much since then.

Always a little bit of a let down when a third set goes very rapidly

after to make very competitive sets. All credit to Radwanska for taking

this match by the scruff of the neck.

Not that time. Too much air under this drop shot, too high. A chance

for Bacsinszky, then, to get on the scoreboard, at least, in the final

set. UMPIRE: New balls, please. Tracy,

were you in Paris when she was down in the final set and then won?

Surely, it can't happen again. They have new balls to serve with.

That should help Bacsinszky's served to move through the court quicker.

Not so ruffed up. She keeps using those shorter balls,

even if they are not perfectly executed drop shots, if they stay

low, Bacsinszky is having a difficult time digging them out.

Oh, yes! Maybe another lob was coming, she has been so successful.

Just an exquisite pass. That was well long. Bacsinszky

asking... The shake of the head. Played so well for the first two

sets, but now facing three match points.

That's why! And Radwanska is through to the second week at Wimbledon. --

that is wide! What a turnaround. Totally overpowered in that first

set will stop the second and third sets had a grand total of five

unforced errors. Her movement was impeccable, and her accuracy was

spot on. So much variety, and broke Bacsinszky down. Yes, the power of

Bacsinszky was the decisive factor in the first set, but the

consistency, the tennis know-how of Radwanska slowly turned it around,

and by the end, enabled the Polish player to take total command. She is

through now to play Svetlana Kuznetsova on Monday, to my my, the

best day of the championship, when every fourth-round match will be

played on Monday before we get into the next round of the women's on

Tuesday. In this wide-open field, anything is possible, Tracey.

Absolutely. Radwanska's best chance was in 2013. She is putting herself

in the heart of the equation now, because she played an excellent

match today. She wouldn't be the first champion to have been match

point down in the early rounds. Two hours and ten minutes was the actual

time of the match, and the score, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1.

Timea Bacsinszky will stay out there for a little longer to sign a few

more autographs. The ground staff are out there repairing some of

those divots. That is confirmation of the scoreline. And right now,

Agnieszka is going to talk to Lee McKenzie.

Congratulations, we always knew this match would be packed with finesse,

and it was lovely to watch - how were you a note after dropping the

first set? I expected a lot of tricky shots from her, and a lot of

entertaining rallies. I am just very happy that I could

come back and that the second set was tight. The third set, I was

really playing my game, trying to be more aggressive with my serve. How

good does it feel when you have completed the first week of

Wimbledon and you know you are into the second week and there is more

opportunity to come? It is a great opportunity to be in the second week

of a Grand Slam, especially here, so I am really happy. I am going to

enjoy, and I am trying to do everything in my power to do another

quarterfinal here. Next up, you have Svetlana Kuznetsova, whom you play

20 times, including twice here, it is currently 1-1 on grass - with

your game, are you confident you can beat her? She has been playing good

tennis, and she has had a really good season. I think I will have

nothing to lose. She is a great player, a great Champ, and we have

played against each other so many times. Another match not less than

two hours! Thank you very much. SUE BARKER: Well, she just got better

and better in that match, and after such a roller-coaster year, it is

wonderful to see Agnieszka Radwanska back to her best. She is such a

great mover and competitor, and she proved that today. She is always a

threat in a Grand Slam. A former finalist here, but that will be a

tough match against Kuznetsova. Two of the most experienced players left

in the draw. And we will just update you with what is happening

elsewhere: Milos Raonic is serving as well, he actually has match point

to go through, winning 7-6, 6-4, 6-4 Albert Ramos-Vinolas. That just

happened just a moment ago over on Court Number One. So, a comfortable

victory, straight sets, the last year's finalist, the big server from

Canada, Milos Raonic. And a couple of updates as well, Angelique Kerber

was one set and one break down to American Shelby Rodgers, but she

fought back. She looks to be on serve here. That match is live on

BBC Two, if you want to watch that. And the match we were watching

earlier, Gael Monfils, always the great entertainer, against Adrian

Mannarino. It is Gael Monfils who leads to - one against Adrian

Mannarino. That is on the website and on the red button, as is this

one. Tomas Berdych has taken the first set against bed with a row,

and he is a break of serve up in the second set. It is funny who you see

watching the matches from up above. There is Roger Federer. You wouldn't

believe he has a match coming up later on, on Centre Court, would

you? He's just relaxing, watching, catching up with friends. At 35,

Roger Federer playing the best tennis of his life. And we look

forward to seeing him on Centre Court a little later. And we have

made our way down to Centre Court. Boris Becker is with me. Roger

Federer, he is so relaxed, isn't he? You wouldn't think he has an

important match coming up. Years playing after Novak, so he has some

time on his hands was that he has done this 90 times. If one player

knows how to prepare, it is Roger Federer. There is no reason to worry

about him. Lots of players really concentrate before a match, get in

the zone, but not Roger. It is another two hours at least before he

get ready. He will mingle with the coaching team, try to find a

concentration to play the match. Talking of concentration, that was

pretty impressive from Radwanska, wasn't it? She has had a really bad

year, but sometimes when you come back to a place where you have won

matches, it suddenly all comes together. Very much so. You remember

the good times you have had on this court, and she is a veteran. Again,

she always finds a way to come back into the match. I respect her a lot.

She doesn't have a huge serve, but a strong mind, very strategic in how

she prepares the points. On grass, that get you far. It certainly does.

Next, it is Novak Djokovic on Centre Court, and he has a new coach,

former Wimbledon champion Andre Agassi, and he has been talking to

Jonathan. I bet you never thought then, with

your long hair and baseball cap, that you would be back as a coach.

No, it is there enough. You never know where life will take you.

Novak, he is a champion and he knows what he is doing. You have to find

advice that makes him the best that he is, give him some tools. It is

not about full-time or teaching him how to win. My goodness, we have

seen him do that plenty of times. It is about finding the parts that help

him feel clear so that he is able to execute his best game, and with

conviction. He is an easy guide to coach, in that respect. What is the

one thing, if there is one thing, that you are trying to get him to

do? Listen, clarity, and fight. To believe that good things are ahead,

that you are going to get better every day if we fight and we start

thinking about the other side of the court a little more. There is a

human odour there that has to be you, you know what I mean? That is

what I like to see with Novak. When he is out there feeling clear, he is

remarkable. He has Murray as a rival for the title, Rafael Nadal and

Roger Federer. In the year of your last line slam title, he won his

verse. -- your last Grand Slam title. Can you believe he is still

coming here as many people's favourite? No question. To see Roger

doing what he is doing, it is inexplicable. He doesn't surprise me

any more. He constantly amazes me, and it is great for the game to see

these guys going after reach other. Hopefully we will see at this

fortnight, where you have those guys pushing at the end. John McEnroe has

joined us. He will put the fightback in Djokovic, because something has

been missing this year. You saw it with Andy, after he fought so hard

to reach number one. And then with Novak, the same. He is doing

something that no one had done since Rod Labour in 1969, holding all four

Grand Slams. We are all human, you take a step back, you say, wow, can

I enjoyed this a little bit? Sometimes you do that - you have

somewhat of a let down, and you think you can show up at Wimbledon

and pull it back together. He was in the finals of the open. He was

outplayed in the beginning. So you figure, OK, I will come back there.

And then when it happens four times in a row, you think, we will have to

re-evaluate. Bringing Andre Agassi in, so late in his career, he loves

to discuss tactics and he will sit there for hours, and he will give

him what he wants. I think he will give more information than Novak is

used to getting, but it is about them feeling each other out and

getting to know each other. You saw the pressure he was under to try and

win that French Open and hold all four. An incredible amount of

pressure in the weeks leading up, because he won three in a row. It

didn't matter about other tournaments, it was about the French

Open. Once the French Open started, it was almost a relief, because it

was now or never. To get through the tournament for him was a lifelong

dream come true. Most other people would take a year off.

A big ovation for the three-time champion, up against Ernests Gulbis.

Unorthodox, is that how you would describe it? Not quite as much as

Fognini, but they have known each other since they were kids and he's

not going to pull a fast one on Novak. It will be about how much

Gulbis wanted. He's a really strong guy. Has got real firepower. You've

got to watch over him. He beat Del Potro, that is a big one. He's had

the injuries, his ranking has dropped down, he's not won any

matches until here, but against Del Potro it was one great shot after

another. He was not expecting much. He had three matches at Roehampton.

Get to the third round, please this amazing ground against Del Potro and

he thinks, I'm back. And that the dangerous part because he is a

different type of player, has a different family background, so if

he's on it, if he's confident, he's a dangerous opponent. Perfect

example. The players need to come from circumstances. Novak grew up,

there are bombs being dropped around, that toughens you up. The

Russians had to leave because there's no money. Whereas you've got

a guy with the complete opposite. His father is one of the wealthiest

guys in Latvia. There's not a lot of hunger. The Gulf Stream was waiting

at the end of the tournament, go off on a private plane and stay at the

Ritz Carlton. So you've not seen him dig deep in matches but this will

certainly get him back in the mix. No better place to do it than here.

His ranking had dropped down but he's quite a character, as Lee

McKenzie found out. How much are you enjoying the Wimbledon experience?

I'm enjoying it. I've not won a match in 13 months. It has been

nice. But Gulbis is not known as a great grass court player. Del Potro

is a really good grass court player, in my opinion. I'm much more

confident than I was before. Does this make you appreciate tennis when

you've been through everything you've been through, the fact that

you love it? My physio told me he had never seen me as motivated as I

am right now. It has been difficult. You appreciate it a lot more and

this is the place I want to be. You've got Novak Djokovic next. You

used a hit with him. You know him well. How big of test is it going to

be? It's a huge test but it's also a big test for. He was struggling this

season. If I struggle, I go back to being 600 in the world. If he

struggles he goes back to being number two Mac. It has not been easy

for him so I guess it is best for both of us. He's got a big serve and

a big forehand. He's tall, he's not afraid to use it, he's not afraid of

the big courts. It takes a special character to feel comfortable and he

has that character. He's going to serve 20 aces, he's going to have a

lot of winners, the question of the unforced errors. He is a player like

Fabio Fognini who looks for the more difficult shots. The forehand, it

seems like he has streamed out his take-back. I don't know what he was

thinking when he was trying to pull this off but it seems unorthodox.

You mentioned the serve. He's a strong guy and if he gets that first

serve going he's going to be dangerous. Having big serve can get

you so many cheap points. This is grass court... What does Boris know

about that? This is a fast court. Whoever said it was a slow court was

wrong. Whoever serves well is always in the driving seat. He's playing a

great return. He is playing the greatest returner who ever lived. My

last match at Wimbledon was against Agassi. I had the fortune to play

Connors, who was amazing. This guy is taller, he's got more reach, he

can be aggressive, which he's done more later in his career, or

defensive. Either way, he's awesome. You've seen him in the amount of

training he puts in. He gets impositions that don't seem

possible. Most others would hurt their legs if they tried to get to

the bowls that he gets too. He does a lot of working out. Usually he

would not leave one stone unturned. I think he's got his Mojo back. I

feel like he put his head back to where he was. Now it's about work

and practising every week. It has been a roller-coaster year for him.

Looked like he was getting good again and then another bad match.

Yes, you thought he was going to win Rome. We were concerned in the third

set against Dominic Thiem in the French, I could not remember the

last time that happened. Obviously, your head needs to be into it,

especially the way that Nadal and Federer have been playing. He's

doing some target practice on you guys, he is serving. It is also,

when he says it is not about winning, it's almost like it's not

so important to him. I don't know how true that is. I think sometimes

people misinterpret it about not loving tennis. Of course he wants to

win. They've called time so thank you. They are on their way to the

commentary box. Andrew Castle is waiting for them there. The first

Saturday of the championships. A day off tomorrow, and a chance to the

grassed arrests -- the graphs to rest. We are getting stuck into the

bottom half of the draw. Roger Federer to come. He is playing

Zverev. This match contains some threat for Novak Djokovic, who

really seems to be regaining his desire for the game. This man with

three Wimbledon titles in 2011, 2014 and 20 15. The man who has beaten

Nadal, Federer and feather in those finals, and on the greatest stage of

all he is playing against Ernests Gulbis, who only has four matches

this year. Don't be fooled, one of them was against Del Potro in the

last round and he's former top ten. Enjoy this third-round match.

John McEnroe is moving like a today. That was the quickest you've ever

made from the outside to the inside. And looking forward to this. See if

Gulbis and stepped up. Make this a really competitive third-round

affair. He's got one of the best backhand in

the business. Boris Becker is taking a little bit

more time to make his way to the commentary box. This doesn't

surprise us. When he does get here, he will dive

into his headphones. Is there anything you want to see before he

gets here? He is overrated in his tennis career... Eight Wimbledon

finals, Lucky... It's been a popular move to win the

toss and elected to receive. That is what Gulbis this year.

Djokovic did well because that was a nasty slip and he was straight up.

The point would have been over beforehand. He reacted to this shop

all but he's balanced himself. Seems to slip more than any of the top

players. He's quickly able to recover.

Gulbis only has one win long ago. At least when you've beaten him, you've

beaten him. He did that when he was at the academy but I don't know if

that matters anymore. Speed gun on court had that at 106

mph. Maybe taking a break between matches.

That's the thing when you have not played on these courts for a while.

It doesn't matter how much you practice, it affects you when you

get on it. There is an aura. It makes you wobble. Not now.

This is a man whose ranking does not reflect his ability. He beat Federer

in a grand slam Championship. You wonder how fit he is. If he

needs to go deep in the match. He's strong, you can see that. Still

bringing some serious pop out there. It looked like that ball was going

to be out but caught the net. Unlucky for him.

Novak is popular in the locker room, these guys are friends, and he had

the confidence to ask him whether he should challenge and he challenged.

Novak knew it was owed, said, go ahead! I know what you mean, it is

nice. It is great sportsmanship. You might have missed the rugby, it was

wonderful. It was 15-15, it was a draw.

So they haven't beaten them down in New Zealand for 40 years and you're

telling me after all this build-up that I've been hearing it was a

draw? It was honourable, Americans can never understand you can play

cricket for five days and get a draw. Come on...

A wonderful match at Wimbledon and at 10-10 they call it a draw. It was

the first since 1955. I've done my homework. Usually there is a winner

and a loser. Good knowledge from these foreign

fellows. But I'm with you, John, I find it a

bit odd. This is such an important game for

Gulbis to get into this match. That Sun starts to move across,

could be tricky to throw the ball up. He's going to have to move the

toss. Please don't throw fire. He cannot get out of this game and

this is really a test. There's a foundation for the said he's really

got to get stuck into this match. The umpire said you're already

walking to the other side and then you raise your hand. Where else was

he going to go? Would not have done him good if he challenged anyway. It

is the interpretation of the rules. Challenge this time. I believe

Gulbis is on the scoreboard. The backhand at the sideline.

It is in! It should be Novak's point. I don't know when the call

came. Replay the point, he says. That will not go over well. He had

no chance to get it. That is two points in a row. Beginning of the

match. Focus, please. I am. Yes, you are... Novak has a point. I don't

think it affected him. He was very much out of position.

Maybe just this will still prevail. He's at his very best when bad

umpiring triggers him. Makes him play better. I wouldn't know

anything about that. How about that? Nine minutes of

effort and toil. And he has his reward. So many people a few years

ago would have said he was the man most likely to be the first Latvian

grand slam champion. He got close a couple of times. It turned out to be

Ostapenko at the French Open, wonderful performance from her.

Gulbis was on a treatment table in Tenerife watching that. He must have

thought, what about me. Another newspaper described him as a

flickering flame of talent. We hope so. There's a tremendous

upside. It was looking so promising a couple of years ago. Wait till you

see what we are going to get in a year or two. Not what they

anticipated. Before the tournament started, went

to the Academy and chain through another week.

This is an interesting match, this. This is a test for Djokovic.

The type of style that bothers him is the likes of Stan Wawrinka, who

can blow him off the court. It looks possible with Gulbis.

Take that! Call that serve? I don't think you will want to go anywhere.

This has the makings of a very fine third-round match. Only one of these

men can make the second week of the Championship. That was the forehand

we were talking about prior to the match. What a winner. This is what

is happening on Caroline Wozniacki has just broken

back. Disappointing news for Heather

Watson, beaten with her partner today in three sets. Talking of the

doubles news, a long time out of the game, suffered a knee, and a

ruptured tendon. Will need surgery. We wish her well.

The crowd are filtering in after taking 25 minutes or so. Filtering

back in. It's another holiday here. It's a third-round match. Break of

serve to Gulbis. He's got to keep making it work as

he did in his first service game. Gulbis knows this and he will not

give him the time and space to do so.

The year Gulbis reached the semifinal was against Novak. After,

they got together. Yes. He is bringing the heat. I

wonder if he will start to bring him into the net. Getting him out of the

comfort zone. Touch... He has got some pretty good

hands, Gulbis. He loves the drop shot. Not particularly comfortable

out there the net. The foot. He touched it with the foot, I think.

Another call that was not in favour of Novak. Just saying... There is

another 132 mph delivery, and after that tough first service game, that

backs up the break. The single best set of tennis that we have seen so

far in these championships, probably.

Beautiful feel from Novak there. Even though they say they watch

other guys, they watch each other, they watch the form, so they know

what is at stake, and they want to play accordingly.

On Novak's second serve, he goes a lot on the forehand, pretty

high-speed, low percentage shot, really.

CROWD GROANS It's not going for Djokovic yet. All

those little points... It's supposed to be a piece of cake.

It's quite intriguing, this one, because Gulbis got his nose in

front. But I don't suppose there are too many sets were Novak doesn't

break serve, or at least has a real good look. It is not like a break of

serve quite in the old days. You're right. Gulbis has nothing to lose,

and he was tested early on in his first service game, but he weathered

the storm and held comfortably after, so I am sure Novak will get a

crack at it eventually. The question is whether it is in the first set.

If this guy gets hot, it can take the racket out of your hand. I think

Gulbis is showing you that. If he can keep the percentage high... Even

when he is playing his best, we know there will be times. It is

frustrating right now from Novak, but he has to stay patient, feel

like his time will come. It would be highly surprising if it didn't.

Really very full now here. 50,000 people on Centre Court for this

third-round match. Serving with a break, Gulbis.

That's a big second serve. That's the thing when you play without

fear. You know you have got to play your best. Otherwise, you would have

a chance anyway. -- you won't have a chance.

Against a big server, sometimes you just get it -- you've just got to

get the ball back. Berries that drop shot. He does like

that. I like the idea of moving him and bringing him in. He takes the

racket back quite a long way on this. He looks like he is going to

have a go at it, and then just the one hand. A good disguise.

134 mph, as the adrenaline pumps around Gulbis's body here. He has

strong legs, strong quads, and he explodes into that high costs. He

comes from an athletic background. His grandad was a soviet Union
