Day 7, Part 1 Wimbledon

Week one at Wimbledon was packed with action. But today, it shifts up

a gear. The last 16 in the men's and women's all play, big names,

champions wherever you look. It is a day like no other in the Grand Slam

calendar. Stick with us, you won't want to take your eyes off it. This

is magical, Manic Monday. It is that sort of day, there is so

much happening here at the All England Club. It is my favourite day

of the Championships, my favourite day of any Grand Slam. And knows a

prize that the queues were so long this morning, because there's great

tennis on all the courts here today. Here comes Jo Konta, with the

pressure building in the second week of Wimbledon. She's looking relaxed.

Rafael Nadal, also arriving, he certainly knows how to handle the

pressure, the two-time champion, up against Gilles Muller today, who has

served 72 aces so far. Caroline Garcia is facing Jo Konta today. She

reached the quarterfinals at Roland Garros, and said then that she

thought the pressure of being a hometown player. No pressure on her

today. This is 19-year-old Ana Konjuh, and grass really could be

her best surface. She is the youngest player left in the drawer,

and she's facing the oldest player left, Venus Williams, five-time

champion and the only former champion left in the winning score.

All eyes are on this court again, in the corner, where Andy Murray likes

to be, with his team, doing some gentle serves a. He has been there

for about 40 minutes or so. There's Ivan Lendl. Everybody looking for

the limp, but as Tim keeps telling me, it is not what happens between

the points, it is only what happens during the points which matters, and

he has looked so good so far at Wimbledon. It is a lovely day here.

Here we are in pink! What a day this is, Tracy Austin, isn't it lovely?

This is THE best day of the Grand Slams, because you have the men and

women laying all on one-day. It a feast for everyone. You have just

been out on the practice courts, we've got superstars practising

everywhere. Murray, on his favourite court. Yeah, he's keeping his

routine. It is my favourite day. It is not so brilliant when you've got

to make the schedules, you're going to upset some people! It's almost as

if you haven't enough show courts. Have got so many a lot of matches. A

good day to have a ticket. It certainly is. Being out here, this

is where matches are won and lost. This is where it happens. Yesterday

I sat right up there in the clubhouse, and think that's the best

seat in the house on Sunday, because from 11 o'clock until about two

o'clock, you see everybody coming through, and you know someone is

coming as in other cameras are focused on them. What I found

interesting was how everybody is so different when they practise for

their 40 minutes of. Some are more intense than others, I love to see

how they try to get their form. And this is where it is different. The

other Grand Slams, you play on Sunday, whereas here, you have the

day off. The girls and guys can come in here and have a practice, as you

say, and the sort of regroup. It is almost like a tournament of two

hearts. Tim, you may have your hill here, but I heard from a member that

Aorangi Park, before it was called that, was actually a field, and

apparently, it was called Barker's Field. I am prepared to go with

that! I think it is only fitting, because I played most of my best

tennis on the practice courts! Let's have a look at who will be playing

today. Offending champion and top seed Andy Murray has won his last 25

matches against French players. Benoit Paire will be trying to break

that streak today. Jo Konta is aiming to become the first British

woman to reach the quarterfinals since 1984. She faces France's

Caroline Garcia, who is yet to drop a set in these Championships. Former

Queen's Club champion Mahgoub Dimitrov says he's paying better

tennis than ever this year. But he will need to be, because he faces

the great Roger Federer this afternoon. Teenager Ana Konjuh is

the youngest player left in the draw, born in 1997, the year Venus

Williams made her Wimbledon debut. Rafa Nadal is yet to drop a set so

far this year and he faces fellow left-hander Gilles Muller, who at 34

is in the best form of his career. World number one angelic further has

had to battle her way into the second week. She plays another

former finalist, Djokovic ago rather, who has looked impressive so

far. Adrian Mannarino is the lowest ranked player left in the draw and

the Frenchman is dangerous on grass. Can he stop Novak reaching the

quarterfinals for the ninth time? Those are the matchups, and let's

show you where they will be. If you have a ticket for Centre Court...

Equally impressive, over 11 court, Jo Konta is first up, followed by

Rafa and then Novak. Getting it under way on Court No. 2,

the world number one, Angelique Kerber.

And on Court No. 3, plenty of experience in that first match. And

still it comes. French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko, can she cause

another big upset, when she takes on the number four seed, Elina

Svitolina? And don't forget, you can watch

every match and every point across the BBC platforms. Wherever you are,

the website, social media, 5 Live, they will keep you up to date as

well. Depending on your TV provider, you can watch six matches on the red

button. Let's just show you what is happening right now. Because the

matches are beginning to get under way. This is out on Court No. 2, and

we will be going to this one fairly soon - Angelique

Kerber up against Muguruza, who mini people are tipping could be the

champion here, including myself! On Court No. 3, they're just completing

their warm up. Over on Court Number 12, it's Jelena Ostapenko. Over on

Court No. 18, we will be keeping an eye on the only qualifier left in

the draw, Petra Martic. It is absolutely exhausting getting

through all of those, Tracy! It is all happening, it is incredible. It

is, we have Angelique Kerber against Muguruza, the two ladies who lost to

Serena Williams in the last two finals, and they are playing in the

fourth round, it's mouthwatering. In the bottom half of the glaucoma you

have Victoria Azarenka, the mother coming back, and playing against

Simona Halep. Think that is an incredible matchup. Azarenka is only

in her second tournament back, but she's starting to play. Both of

those ladies are former semifinalists. And a huge day for Jo

Konta? It is, she has had an impressive first week. She had a

fantastic match on Centre Court against Vekic. I feel her form is

progressing so nicely. She's serving well, progressive from the back of

the court, so hopefully she can continue that for the rest of the

week. We came here thinking Kvitova, and then Pliskova, they've both gone

out. Let's take a look at the leading ladies now, with Lee

McKenzie. This year, it is more wide open than ever. By the end of the

second round, over half the women's seeds had fallen. Serena Williams is

pregnant, Maria Sharapova absent. No single person is dominating women's

tennis, no-one is invincible. The young sharks are circling. They're

fearless, with nothing to lose. For the older players, it is their

experience that is now their strength. There's so many names in

the mix, it is almost like the Grand National. There is no girl where I

say, this one will be in the final. It is very hard. It feels that

anybody can beat anybody else. There's 16 women left in the draw,

and I legitimately think there's ten who have the chance to win the

title. As we enter the second week, who are the danger women we should

be looking out for? You have Simona Halep Mahut got to the semifinals a

couple of years ago. Angelique Kerber has not played that well, but

she's fighting her way through. Muguruza, who won the French Open

last year, finalist at Wimbledon a couple of years ago. But she has not

been consistently playing at the elite level this year create Johanna

Konta is being looked at as a favourite here, but she has also

been playing very consistently, and I think that's something which could

be the difference maker. I think she has every potential to win. An

outsider for me would be Coco Vandeweghe, who has a huge serve.

Venus Williams I would say still has a lot of weapons in even though

she's the oldest woman in the draw. As the five-time former champion,

her game can translate, and she can win next Saturday. It is all going

to come down to whoever can take the moment and take the extra motivation

of knowing, maybe Serena is not here, Sharapova is not here, but I'm

good enough to win a Grand Slam. That's what it comes down to, trying

to win those seven matches in a row. There is no such thing as a sure

thing when it comes to the Grand National, and at Wimbledon, in the

ladies this year, it's the same story. It is so exciting, because

it's so wide-open? It is, the only former champion you have is Venus,

and she's 37. If we look at the top half of the draw first, that's such

a tough match for Angelique Kerber against Muguruza. But also, Coco she

can blow people off court on grass. She really can. Caroline Wozniacki,

an in Gribble story, she was 74 in the world last year, and now, she's

back in the top ten. Never been true to the quarterfinals here before.

Yeah, not really the game to translate onto this surface. This

19-year-old Ana Konjuh is something special, isn't she? She really is.

She seems to love grass, and now playing against Venus. Franco wasn't

even born when Venus played her first major. She hits the ball so

hard and so flat. Jelena Ostapenko wins the French Open, nobody really

puts her in as a favourite? She was such an outlier at the French Open,

number 47 in the world when she won. Fearless, just turned 20, and she's

continuing on this path of winning these 3-set matches and playing with

such mental toughness. She's someone you have got to pay attention to,

because I think grass is a better service for her than clay, because

she hits so hard and flat. Simona Halep, Tim, she's quite small,

compared to some of the other women. She is, but again, she's a great

ball striker, and works with Darren Cave Hill. Darren is someone I've

known for a long time. I spoke to him before the tournament and he

said she was still struggling to get over the French Open final, but the

best way to get over that is to get back on court and through to the

second week. I don't think there is the same level of focus on her heavy

she is the world number two. I would like to see her go through. We have

been discussing the women. Now, we can join Phil Jones to have a look

at the men. Week one, and the famous four started firing. In week two, it

is time for them to go into overdrive. We are not sure if the

champion is in full working order. Second seed Novak Djokovic seems to

be back near his finely tuned best as he pursues a fourth Wimbledon

title. Rafa Nadal, seeded fourth, has found the straightest of roads

into the second week for sub a relaxed Rafa is a dangerous Rafa.

Roger Federer is polling, hardly troubled so far. And if anyone knows

how to accelerate through the gears, Federer does. It is Grigor Dimitrov

up next for the Swiss great. Can the Bulgarian who shocked Andy Murray

here three years ago derail one of the big four once more? Milos Raonic

has funded his way into the second week, his serve in excellent working

order. But he will have a tough game against Alexander Zverev, tipped as

a future champion. Marin Cilic, three wins, no sets dropped and

showing the requisite engineering for a title push. He looks fast, fit

and focused. Austrian Dominic Keane was unsure whether he had the wheels

for grass. But the French Open semifinalist looks to have adapted

well to this to range of it is time to put pedal to the metal in pursuit

of the ultimate prize. Tim, discuss! It is amazing, you look at all these

matchups, and there's some good ones. I can't see anything else

other than the big four. That's not necessarily going out on a limb! It

will be either Federer, Nadal, Murray or Djokovic! Certainly

Federer and no doubt, their level was outstanding in the first week.

Murray, a bit similar to the French Open, where he came in without any

great form, but has got through his matches. Again, I think he will come

through today against Benoit Paire. I think Raonic against Zverev will

be very, very interesting. Two huge servers. Raonic has got grass court

pedigree but Zverev is hugely promising. Has not dropped a set,

either. Lefty against lefty, you don't see that so often. Gilles

Muller has had a great grass court season, but I don't see him winning,

I think he could get a set but I think Rafa is playing too well.

Hitting the ball so aggressively, serving well. Easy on the eye,

Grigor Dimitrov against Roger Federer, similar styles.

Technically, easy on the eye! Absolutely! Just to clear that up!

But again, I think they've got very similar styles, they've both got all

the shots, but I just think Federer is a better version right now. Is --

Grigor Dimitrov started the year off so well, it is good to see him back

on track, he hasn't lost a set. You mentioned easy on the eye, but they

are not easy on the ear, as we found out!

# Never let you go! # After all that we've been through

# I will make it up to you # I promise... Cut! Stick to tennis!

I think we've heard enough! On the piano is Tommy Haas's father-in-law.

What do you think of that, Tim? I think we can safely say, don't give

up the day job. But it also goes to show how good the technology is,

because that has definitely been enhanced. Do you think? Without

doubt! Let's take a look at the stats going into this second week,

how many seeds are left. Well, there are 13 in both the men's draw and

the women Straw. Seven of those titles on the women's

side belong to Venus Williams. 14 nations represented in the fourth

round. Any surprises, what do you see today, maybe Coco Vandeweghe,

what do you think? I'm just excited to sit back and watch it all unfold.

There are so many matches on the lower courts as well. So many stars,

they really have to spread them out. Certainly, Coco Vandeweghe against

Wozniacki is a popular match -- a popcorn match. What is a popcorn

match? Just something to watch. Muguruza has been playing much

better, and she has not been to the final of any tournament since

winning the French Open last year. That's not really handling the

attention very well. And yet, this tournament, Conchita Martinez in the

box with her, she seems to be a little bit,. She hasn't lost a set.

When she dialled in, she's very tough to beat. Angelique Kerber,

number one in the world, in danger of losing that ranking. She fought

her way through the last ground, so maybe she will find confidence from

that. Lots of popcorn matches in the men's, and big servers as well, Sam

Querrey against Kevin Anderson! Yeah, there are going to be a couple

of tie-breaks there. Hopefully someone breaks in the fifth,

otherwise we could be here for a couple of days with that one! But

outside of the top four, I'm interested in Raonic against Zverev,

we've got Raonic warming up just over there. Two players who play

very well on grass, another one to watch out for. And Zverev, 20 years

of age, he's had a fantastic year, winning Rome, getting through to the

finals at Halle, a number one in waiting. Absolutely, there is no

doubt in my mind. He's looking to the long-term, working with Andy's

former fitness trainer. He said, let's give this two years. You have

the fundamentals, you hit the ball so well. But you're 6ft 6ins,

needing to add a bit more muscle. And so they slowly got him at it,

without a lot of pressure, slowly he's moved up the rankings. You look

at him, with all the weapons, you think, future number one. Briefly,

Benoit Paire, plays Andy Murray today, a difficult opponent? Yeah,

expect the unexpected. He's got that French flair, no doubt about it. An

unbelievable to hand it back and, a Shakey forehand, and over five sets,

I think Andy will be too good. He could get a set, but I see Murray

coming through. That makes us feel very good! Thank you very much, both

of you! We have been loving the sunshine, but I watched Carol

Kirkwood this morning, and she mentioned me at least twice today...

Today, we have a lovely moment, 22 Celsius, blue skies. Up until one

o'clock, there is a 20% risk of showers. Up to six at this evening,

the risk does up to about 30%. But that still means there is a 70%

chance it could stay dry. Moving into the evening, the risk

diminishes once again, and temperature comes down a little bit.

Tomorrow, it is quite a different story. We will start the day cloudy

with splashes of rain. And as we go through the day, especially from

mid-afternoon onwards, there is the risk of some heavy and persistent

rain. That risk is 80%, so not so good. But on Wednesday, the rain

fears and the sun comes back out, Sue. We will go with those

percentages, 70% it's going to be dry today! We will be keeping you

up-to-date with all the matches in the last 16, but we're heading out

to Court No. 2 to see the world number one Angelique Kerber,

surprisingly has not won title this year. But she playing well, up

against another former runner-up, Muguruza. It is on serve in the

first set. Let's join our commentators, Louise Pleming,

alongside Chris Brunt and. A repeat of the match they played

against each other here in the third round two years ago, when Muguruza

made the final. Such a big match, big names, playing

early in a Grand Slam, fourth round. Just missing that one, Angelique

Kerber, but I like how she's going into that forehand of Muguruza, and

then looking for the backhand down the line, to get her out of

position. Called out. No challenge. Angelique

Kerber challenge on the very first point of the match, and got it

wrong. There's couple of things we will be

looking for today, to see what Muguruza can do, and one of those

is, how many times can she come forward off the right ball? On this

one, Angelique Kerber had too much time. She's got the options, to go

crosscourt, or to use the lob. Again has to be careful op which

ball she's going to move forward on, because Kerber is ready.

Poor positioning. That's the other thing that Kerber needs to take care

of. That creates opportunities for Muguruza. Two things I'm really

focussing on is the amount of times forwards and how far Kerber is

behind that baseline. There's amazing presence on court -

this woman - regal. Yes, all attitude, isn't it? Terrific

attitude. Just over 4,000 seats - a full

house, pretty much full. That's where Kerber must take some

risks today. She has to be the one that's going to change up the flight

of the ball. She has to go down the flight of the line more often today

than Muguruza. It is a little breezy, but nothing

serious. A lot of clarity about Muguruza, how

she has to play today. She's clear of the game-plan. Can she continue

to execute it as well as she's in the past?

Now, what is fascinating, is you have said Louise, is how often will

Muguruza come forward to the net? She did it a lot against Kerber

here. No question about it. In 2015, I remember seeing her come forwards

about 72, 73 times, which is phenomenal. Can just notice here

where the hit point is in comparison. Hugely different from

Muguruza. The amount of times she can get inside that baseline and

limit the time that two metres behind. Look where Kerber is

tracking. That is opening up opportunities for Muguruza to go

through the three-quarter part of the court. It is an interesting

stat. That conversation must have been had with Kerber. She has to be

able to redirect the balls from Muguruza and take time away.

Second stint in the Kerber corner. Do you agree with that? Totally. I

think when Muguruza first came to our attention is when she beat

Serena Williams at the French Open, 2014. 6-2, 6-2. She did it by taking

the returns in early. She beat her again, obviously n the final here.

Lost to her in the final here two years ago.

These stats are interesting though, This young lady does not cruise

through the court as much as Muguruza. She needs that assistance

by standing up closer. To create power - good play again

from Muguruza. Well, that is exactly what Muguruza

does not like. She does not want to be the one backhand of Kerber,

pushing her around the court. She wants to dictate.

Eight unforced error from Muguruza, from one from Kerber. Does has to

get the balance right, Muguruza. Martinez looks more nervous than the

two players - the former champion. Too much time again for the pass.

Here is the first break point. That is the reason why Muguruza must

come in on the backhand side. When you are tracking across on the

backhand side you cannot see your opponent coming in on the forehand,

it's a different -- coming in. On the forehand, it's a different

story. Interesting.

Didn't even look up. She may be expecting it.

20 seconds between points allowed. UMPIRE: Advantage Miss Muguruza.

It is moving to 25 minutes from next year, men and women, in all events.

First mini-battle is won by Muguruza. Leads first set.

SUE BARKER: What a tight match this is on court number two. On this busy

day we will take you around the grounds. On court 12 Jelena

Ostapenko, a break of serve up. She was two breaks of serve up. So

Svitolina had one back. That match is on the red button. And on the BBC

Sport website. On court number three, Kuznetsova is serving for the

first set against Radwanska. Such a versatile player, Svetlana and

always tough to beat. She's on the BBC Sport website. On court 18

Magdalena Rybarikova. She has just broken back. So it is back on serve,

4-4 against Petra Martic, the only unseeded match in the last 16. We

will keep you up-to-date with that. And you may not know who that man

is, but you will know him very well by the end of the afternoon because

he will face Andy Murray. That is Benoit Paire, from France.

So, that match second on Centre Court. There are wonderful matches

all day long. We've so much to get through. You can find it on our BBC

platforms, the app, 5 Live. Wherever you are, you can follow Wimbledon

today. Hawk-Eye tells us that Muguruza was

up to 28 seconds between every point in that last game.

Close! I think the crowd were encouraging the challenge there.

This is the third part of game for Muguruza which she needs to take

care of. That backhand down-the-line can do damage today. She can hit

that on a dime. She really wants this game,

Muguruza. Dealing with love to break right here.

She needs to take care of how many errors she's going to play today.

Literally hitting a brick wall, Kerber.

Looking to get after the second serve.

Wonderful memories for Conchita. Champion here, '94.

Phenomenal tennis now. Terrific improvising from Kerber. Again just

showing what a brick wall she is. How good her defensive skills are. A

tough smash there from Muguruza. Nerves of steel. Really let that get

low. But executing... Missed it.

It did look wide. UMPIRE: The ball was called out.

Huk eye is busy. -- Hawk-Eye is busy.

APPLAUSE A super battle. The contrast.

Again, for me, Muguruza has to be particularly careful which side she

comes in. You can just see Kerber - her chest is open to the court on

that forehand. She can see her opponent coming in and attacking.

That gives her options. 7-13 now going forwards. Already up

to 13. She knows it will be tricky. Kerber's so good at making it

awkward. Will she keep doing it? Can she beat Kerber from the back of

the court? And she will continue to. This is a

good point, but Muguruza, the last couple of volleys, she's just let

that ball drop a little bit. She needs to keep moving in on top of

the net. Two of her four aces have been that

one. Just missing. She wants to be the aggressive

player out there. But she is, at times, just a little impatient,

Muguruza. Those numbers are starting to rack

up a little for the Spaniard. That's the side that will make more

errors. She's in some trouble.

Two more break points for Kerber. Of course, Louise, finalist for the

last two years, these two. But a fourth round this year, mainly

because Muguruza has slipped down the ranking, struggling to find a

game. They both have that in common, haven't they? Absolutely. After

success. Yes. You have to wonder what it is - is it a little mental

fatigue for Kerber who goes day in, day out, competing at the highest

level. Like a Djokovic, who is just so pure with the way they play.

Their mentality is tough. They just always turn up. I think ticking

every box day-to-day wears you out. I think it is just a little mental

debris we have seen from Kerber over the last six months. I think she'll

definitely push through it. She's such a great competitor. It is like

building a business. Building it is easy. Staying there, it's much more

difficult. What has Kerber improved in her game since being world number

one? Is there anything? She has to take care of a few things. I don't

know that she's improved anything. She has to be careful about where

she stands. It is a stunning day again in SW 19.

Kerber serving for the first set. I think today Kerber needs to

continually be not reluctant in going down-the-line. She has to

You have to wonder is Muguruza getting in two minds - am I getting

too aggressive? Am I making too many errors? Such a fine balance.

Needs a lot more of that. Particularly off the second serve.

Did everything absolutely correctly there Muguruza. Came in on the back

end side. Could just see that ball sitting up. Takes a good swing at

this one, then lets that ball drop. Two set points.

Has to trust herself, Muguruza. Kerber's great at making her

opponent self-doubt. That's been missing too much today,

that shot. Well done!

APPLAUSE first set in 43 minutes.

SUE BARKER: Angelique Kerber, such a good match player. We will be back

with this match. It is a busy day here and for Andy Murray, second on

Centre Court. Johanna Konta is out as well.

Jo was out on a practise court earlier today.

Konta has a tough opponent today. It is 2-2 in the head-to-head. Yes, a

very tricky match. Garcia won 7-6 in the final set. A lot of tension in

it. Garcia came off court saying she played the better points in the

tie-break that bit better. Garcia has a big serve, big ground strokes

and aggressive return of serve. In many ways you could say she's

similar to Johanna Konta, although I would say Johanna Konta does

everything a little bit better. The sound from the strings of Konta's

ball it sounds good. She's been in incredible form of late. She's never

got to the second week of Wimbledon. How much more will the pressure will

building inside her? No question it will be building. She has all these

kind of processes, formulas and a mind set she applies to every single

match. I think that is what has impressed everybody. We all want to

know what is going on. She gives nothing away. She takes care of what

she's doing on her side of the court and does not worry about the option.

She only worries about what she can control. At the moment, whatever

that formula is, it is definitely working. It certainly is. Thank you.

Svetlana Kuznetsova has taken the first set against Eiger Radwanska.

Jelena Ostapenko has also taken the first set of her match against

Svitolina. Back we go. Louise, you do a lot of coaching,

what would you have said to Muguruza at that sit down? She's got to find

bigger targets, just be patient. It's that self-doubt. Be she's just

not executing at the net. It is, it's a little self-doubt and

frustration as well. Playing nowhere near as much

doubles, these days, the gurus at - is that hurting her now?

I would love to see the difference, when she comes in on the backhand

side, how many times she will converting, as opposed to on the

forehand side. She furnished 2015 at number three, I wonder what an!

Martinez thinks about the singles-doubles combo.

It's interesting, it's a completely different complexion from 2015.

Right now, Muguruza would have won that first set.

Winning three quarters of the points behind this solid first serve. This

is just the tenth second serve she's had to hit.

And they do come. Especially when opponents get on to

her second serve. What I think Kerber likes about this

match is the fact that she's the number one player in the world, and

she's been carrying so much expectation over the last 12 months,

I think this match she would possibly even feel like the

underdog. It has taken a lot of pressure off her, and she's playing

some great tennis. That's a part of her tennis she has not coped with,

the mental side since becoming world number one.

Last year, three Grand Slam finals, winning two of them. It was always

going to be something to follow! Beating Serena at the Australian,

losing to her at the US Open. Again, Kerber is just so solid. Her

placement is so efficient. Just trying to press that little bit

too much, Garbine Muguruza. Another break point.

You win Grand Slams, you become the number one player in the world, and

your coaching team says, what can we improve quality you look at Kebede

she really hasn't improved that much. In fact her game, mentally,

has fallen apart somewhat. Great serving from Muguruza. You look at a

player like Ana Ivanovic, wins the French, comes the number one player

in the world, and they were thinking, what can we improve? And

that took so much confidence away from her.

Emerging, you're the number one player in the world, you've won a

Grand Slam, and you need to go back to, I need to get better. And she

didn't take that conversation well at all.

Fantastic hold, Muguruza leads 2-1, second set. This is a real battle.

We will be right back with that. SUE BARKER: We are going to update

you know with what is going on elsewhere. Kuznetsova took the first

set, but it's on serving the second. They have just had a marathon game,

lasting over ten minutes Radwanska saving four break points. That match

is on the red button and on the website. And also, on Court Number

12, Jelena Ostapenko, she's just faced a break point against

Svitolina. It's 2-2 in the second. Over on Court No. 18, they have had

a break apiece in the second set. Deep in thought, Muguruza, that was

a good hold, saving the break point in the last game.

Again, that's where she is really hurting herself today, those

unforced errors. And now Angelique Kerber has made

one. She's been so solid off that win today.

Sometimes you wish you could merge a counterpuncher with a big striker

into one, and you've got the perfect player! Yes!

That's where you've got to be really careful, as a coach. The message you

give to your athlete, some players take things in extremes and some

take the message very subtly. For me, today, Muguruza has taken it a

little bit too far on the extreme side of things. Because she needs to

be aggressive, but she also needs to build the point. She's been a bit

too aggressive. Like that. Yeah, and that is the art

of coaching, being able to know how your athlete absorbs things, their

personality. She's getting more and more uptight! It's not an easy job!

It's much easier to play, I think she's thinking right now!

She has shown America enormous amount of emotion on court,

Muguruza. Should have made it, really. If you

start missing so many volleys... Sheep tracks this perfectly, but

again, everything starts to tighten up a little bit when you start

missing so many. 12 out of 25. I was just going to say before that

point, Chris, Muguruza, if she's to come forward, she had to set up the

pattern into the forehand to open up the backhand, and then move

forwards. If she doesn't do that, she's a sitting duck for Kerber.

CHRIS BRADNAM: Was that panic? LOUISE PLEMING: Yeah, I think so. It

feels like she can't compete from the back, she's not as solid, she's

missing too many points today. Just not timing it quite right there,

Muguruza. It is a very, very one day again. It

has been building up for the last two or three days. They do an

amazing job, it does occasionally happen.

It's a crowd pleaser! Well, this will help Garbine, just being able

to put this one away, get back some confidence that she's got the right

game plan. Another break point saved for

Muguruza. Just going back to the point chairs

we see Muguruza moving forward beautifully onto this one, I asked

Martina Navratilova not long ago her thoughts on the fact that top

singles players slavery little doubles these days. Martina played

all of it, in days when the prize money was nothing like today, her

opinion was, play both, especially as Muguruza did so well playing both

two years ago, but play less tournaments. Your thoughts? Because

it is the way she plays, she loves to come forwards? I see the

argument. I think for a player like Garbine Muguruza, it is a fine line.

For the big hitters, I feel the players who play with more power,

they need to play a little bit more often to keep the momentum and

confidence. But look at the change here now. Angelique Kerber in 2015,

40 5% up inside the court. I should take a step back there. This is the

comparison, and she is up in the court, no question about it. It has

been Kerber that has been stepping back and HER contact point has been

further back in the court. Muguruza has just made too many errors.

But I think that's a good point, Martina Navratilova thinking it is a

good idea to play singles and doubles, there is no question, it

does help the movement forward, it keeps you sharper at the net.

Back in behind the movement of Kerber. She loves to run open court,

Kerber. She keeps coming back! She has got a

tracking device on that like it, hasn't she, Chris?! Phenomenal

mover. When you see players practising

against a wall for three hours... Just pushing that forehand wide,

she's so frustrated with herself, Muguruza, she can hardly believe it.

She said she wasn't happy with her forehand in that first match.

But you talk about a brick wall, Chris, and so many of the past

champions have all practised on a brick wall. Martina Navratilova

always talks about how she played against a brick wall. Roger Federer,

and unfortunately around our countryside, we're losing those

brick walls, they're being knocked down partially in Australia. Juniors

always used to play on them, especially at busy times, because

they had no right of way on the courts, the adults were on them.

Yeah. The court has shrunk, Kerber has

done that to Muguruza, she's made her feel like a postage stamp. Shame

that quick, that good at anticipating where you're going to

hit the ball. Muguruza has felt the pressure to be

more aggressive, trying to take time away from her opponent. She's hit a

lot of winners today, but it has really been negated by the errors.

That's nice. Just being a bit more steady in her rallies, to wait for

the right shot. To use these backhand - the backhand is really on

today. It's her first break point. That's a gruelling point. It is

about 25, 36 Celsius at the moment, in the shade - there's not a lot of

it on this court. That's right. You can just see both

players just taking a little extra time.

SUE BARKER: What a match this is, such high quality tennis. We're

going to move away from it, though. Jo Konta will be walking out on

Court No. 1 in a moment. You can continue to watch this match,

though, on the website or on the red button. Elsewhere, Jelena Ostapenko

is out on Court Number 12, just one game away, in fact just two points,

away from going through to the quarterfinals. That's a feature

match on the red button. Over on Court No. 3, Svetlana Kuznetsova has

just broken Agnieszka Radwanska. That's also on the red button and on

the BBC Sport website. Over on Court No. 18, it is the qualifier Martic,

the qualifier, who has taken the second set. That one is also on the

website. You can probably hear a big cheer,

Johanna Konta coming out to take on Garcia, through to the second week

of Wimbledon for the first time. A big welcome. Not a big crowd on

Court One but still a big welcome for Britain's number one.

That was just a short time ago and Tracy Austin is standing with me out

on Court Number One. This is a tricky match for Johanna Konta. It

is, Caroline Garcia plays well on grass, she did well last year and

has had a good year so far, Grand Slam quarterfinals in her home

country, that is a breakthrough for her, second week of a Grand Slam for

the second Grand Slam, she must be full of confidence. I've got to

think that contest, she is playing so well, I've been really impressed

with where she has come so quickly. Only two or three years ago she was

outside the top 100, we didn't really know who Johanna Konta was

and as of last year she broke into the top ten and seems to be managing

the whole situation beautifully. This is a lot because for Caroline

Garcia she has lots of pressure playing in the French Open but she

can share the pressure with Mladenovic and Cornet and a few

other French women. For Johanna Konta, Heather played well but it's

pretty much all on Johanna Konta's shoulders. They are getting ready

for the coin toss. You talked about how Johanna Konta has improved, she

got a sports psychologist involved a few years ago. Mentally she has

evolved and improved but she keeps on improving all of her game, the

big backhand has improved and her movement has really improved. She

has gotten stronger, she's become a better athlete and always had a good

backhand, especially across the court but the forehand could be

brittle so she could rely on that stroke much more now. It all comes

back to... It is a weapon now. It is but it all comes back to the

mentality and that sports psychologist. She can really trust

herself in the big moments and we saw that in the second round here

against Donna Vekic. That was a tight match and lots of British

people became fans of Johanna Konta the way she was able to handle that

situation. Vekic played incredible tennis, so powerful, both young

ladies serving big, and that's probably the biggest weapon Johanna

Konta has, her serve, her ability to serve her way out of trouble.

Caroline Garcia's Selt doesn't look the best, it is stuttering as a

service motion but that is a weapon too. It is stilted and kind of

manufactured but again she is a great athlete. In fact Andy Murray

about six years ago, when Garcia beat Sharapova at the French Open

and Andy Murray Tuohy did, not sure, it was a good tweet in the end

because it put pressure on Garcia but he tweeted about the fact that

this is a future world number one. It's interesting because the mental

part is what Garcia has struggled with as well, when got a big moments

she would kind of flinch and blink at the big moments. She has just

started, she won the French Open in doubles last year with Mladenovic, a

big win in her home country. May be playing on the big stage there and

finally getting through has kind of loosened her up. That is Caroline

Garcia up against John Konta, certainly enjoying her time on the

grass. Didn't do well at Birmingham, Edgbaston but came good at

Eastbourne playing well and the first week she has been impressive.

Let's see her story so far. COMMENTATOR: Welcome to Court One,

Johanna Konta, British 11, world number seven, high hopes for her. --

British number one. She has to break now and she has the double break in

this first set. Very businesslike performance from Johanna Konta. A

challenge from chez Siu Wai and it's an ace to win the match for Johanna

Konta and it's a very tidy and impressive performance. -- she Siu

Wai. Vekic now in the driving seat in the opening set. What a comeback,

Konta takes the opening set 7-6. It is long. What a fightback from

Croatia's Donna Vekic, she levels the match and takes the second set.

It is supercompetitive out there. Fabulous combination hitting. Donna

Vekic takes a little tumble. Konta is composed as ever and hangs on.

What a battle and what resilience. Well played. First set to the

British number one. Jo Konta, three down, four to go. To end 40 years of

you know what. We certainly know what, do we? It

was interesting, I read about her coach who writes down the tactics

and makes her learn them and then recite them to him before she goes

on the court just so it is in the brain. It's important as an athlete

to know what is the best way for you to get in your zone. When I used to

play I used to write things I needed to do down and keep looking at them.

For Johanna Konta she worked with that mental coach and she knows what

she must do to feel comfortable and relaxed when she goes out to be in

her comfort zone. He wasn't happy with the tie-break she played

against Garcia in Indian Wells earlier this year when she lost a

third set tie-break 7-1. He said you drop your head and you were negative

and it's all about the body language and showing the opponent. It's

interesting because Johanna Konta is normally so good at that, you can't

tell whether it is 1-1 in the first set or a 5-5 in the third set, she

goes about her business. That is what I've been so impressed with.

You went through it, and all the expectations of the British public,

and I feel it is just starting to open up now because they didn't pay

much attention when she won Stanford Lasky. May be the truth tennis fans,

or even Sydney this year, Miami was the biggest title in the spring.

When she beat Vekic there were lots of eyes watching that match and the

way she was able to come through in the tight moments and she faced

break points in the late stages of the third and came up with the

clutch serves and that's really crucial. She was down 0- 33 times.

Caroline Garcia has an aggressive game, it is a game that is good for

grass. Absolutely and that's what it's about today, who can take the

initiative, serve well, they've both be serving extremely well but who

can get the next strike? This was her early in the tournament, that is

her serve. It is good placement as well with that serve. Absolutely and

that for both players who can serve to all four corners of the box and

looking for the second shot to start to dictate play. They are more than

willing to move forward and that's important on the grass to finish off

points at the net and both players have been doing that. Look at that

footwork, Unibet alertness and willingness to look forward and

finish points off. I will say that Garcia has had a fortunate draw. She

has played three lower ranked players, in the third round, who

took out Kvitova. This is very much a step up for Garcia playing Konta,

the ball will come at her much harder. I think that Wim Fissette

will say you had to give the ball deep and not let her attack and keep

on the baseline. Deep and make her move. Tracy, you've got to go and do

some work. Tracy is on her way to the commentary box because the

players are about to come out to play. We will watch that and we are

ready for this. Tracy Austin is on her way to join Nick Mullins for

this one. COMMENTATOR: Caroline Garcia,

23-year-old Frenchwoman, from Lea, just outside the world's top 20 just

now, the country's best player come up against Britain's number one --

Lyon. Here is the sixth seed, sharing top billing and the

morning's headlines, two Britain is embarking on the second week of

Wimbledon, Andy Murray across on Centre Court later. Right now Jo

Konta has all the attention to herself.

Konta won the toss and invited Garcia to serve first.

My goodness. Caroline Garcia's serve is one of her big assets. And she is

being taken to the cleaners early on here by Jo Konta. Three break right

at the start. Perfect start to Jo Konta's week, a

week that she hopes will end up being the week of her life.

Tracy Austin has hopped across into the commentary box, good afternoon,

Tracey. Afternoon. It is a busy players' box but the

most important person is on the left-hand side, a relatively new

coach, the Belgian, Wim Fissette, who took over at the start of the

year to help evolve her game. That is her boyfriend Jackson Wade. In

the sunshine, in the fourth round at Wimbledon, Johanna Konta to serve.

This really is going to be a server's duel. Caroline Garcia's

father. Louis Paul. Dad and coach. Right now being her coach is the

most dumb at most important thing. -- the most important thing.

Gosh, that's really impressive. Gently working her way into this

match. Just so focused, alert, great footwork, and striking the ball

cleanly so soon. Beforehand has improved immensely

for Jo Konta. That's still the weaker side. That's the side her

opponents will stand by to target. The backhand is so solid. -- the

forehand. Terrific pick-ups from Konta.

Excellent depth from Garcia but short take-back. No problem with

those deep shots. I guess one of the things we will

have all noticed early in these opening exchanges is how low both

players get to the ball, Wim Fissette will enjoy that,

flexibility in the news, almost seeing the ball at head height.

That's so important to get down with the legs, use the legs for power,

also helps you get the racket head down in case you need to adjust to

an awkward bounce at the last moment.

15 years ago Andy Murray picked out as a potential number one, pushing

Maria Sharapova all the way at the French Open. Has the attributes to

do that, still hasn't quite broken into the world's top 20. It is a

huge compliment that can also bring a lot of pressure as well.

Interesting Garcia has an abbreviated motion. But she still

gets to the important point. Trophy homes, good knee Ben Gummer upper

body turn -- good knee bend, upper body turned.

Yes, I'm sure as much as Caroline Garcia will have been thrilled to

hear that from Andy Murray a few years back she might be cheesed off

every time she plays now we always have to mention that fact.

But it's that kind of serve and so much else about her game that

prompted Andy Murray to suggest she might be the world's best one-day.

Garcia is on the board, Konta with an early break of serve in this

fourth-round match leads to- one. SUE BARKER: Konta leaves on Court

One. Venus Williams on the Centre Court winning on serve against Ana

Konjuh. That match is on the BBC sport website and a red button.

Cracking match on Court two, 1-1 between Angelique Kerber and Garbine

Muguruza. Muguruza took the second set 6-4 and has... No, she is

serving so it is not a break point but that matches on the red button,

the featured match on the red button. Over on Court 12 Jelena

Ostapenko has actually lost five match points in her match against

Elina Svitolina and it's in the tie-break. That matches on the red

button on the BBC bbc.co.uk/sport stop the French Open champion. That

is on Court 12. Over on Court 18 and Magdalena Rybarikova on serve in the

third and final set. One of those players will be through to the

Wimbledon quarterfinal for the first time. One of those we will update

you with but one result to bring you is Kuznetsova has beaten Radwanska

in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4, yet to drop a set at the Championships. Big

smile, through to her first Wimbledon quarterfinal in ten years.

She's the first through to the quarterfinals. Back the go.

COMMENTATOR: Jo Konta might be carrying the rather undefinable

weight of expectation today heading into the second week, so impressive

at the back end of the first week. It was the second round wrestle with

Donna Vekic that was the big one third hours. I think that was the

best match of the first week, certainly on the women's side. So

much drama and the points were being won it wasn't because of unforced

errors, incredibly aggressive tennis.

That win against Vekic is the only time she's appeared on Centre Court

so far this fortnight. This is the third time she's been on number one.

Contact continuing to have easy service games, only lost one point

on serve. Early days but that's a really good sign.

Rather resigned look on the face of the French woman at the moment, such

is the level of Konta's game. Garcia must be getting frustrated because

she is sending the ball is back with tremendous pace and depth and Konta

with the lower legs, lower body getting down so well and absorbing

the pace and sending them back with interest. And accuracy.

First strike tennis, big serve gets the week reply and the second shot

takes control. Hm, Garcia got caught there. The

slight hesitation cost her. Hitting the tape, just got a little

out of Konta's strikes, didn't adjust with the left wrist to bring

the ball back in play. Well played, Garcia. Still Konta

with the break, 3-2. A woman who is getting used to

turning the pages of British tennis history. She's the first since Laura

Robson to get into this second week, four years ago that Robson got

there. This is the opportunity, I'm sure you know, if you've read the

papers and listen to the radio and us this morning, an opportunity for

her to become the first British quarterfinalist since Joe Drury. Do

we need to mention 40 years since Virginia? Let's start with the

quarterfinals and Joe Drury, shall we? Yes. This is very makeable and

doable, amazing how quickly Konta has begun to become comfortable in

this position as part of the elite in the game. She's done so much work

off the court. In the mental department, that is really what she

needed. She is a quick student. She just looks so comfortable out on

court managing everything. Tracy Austin talking about Konta's

progression as a player. She was out of the top 100 a few years ago

semifinalist last year in Australia, her big Grand Slam breakthrough,

quarterfinalist in Melbourne this year, lost to the eventual champion

Serena Williams. Breaking new ground here at Wimbledon.

She is swinging hard and swinging with confidence at the moment.

She might think about challenging that. Marija Cicak puts her finger

out decisively indicating it was wide and Konta takes that claim.

Confirmation as well that our friends at Hawk-Eye tell us it was

out. That was right on the line. Applause

from the dad, from the coach. Smart return, deep down the middle. If you

don't get the line you get them brown patches and the awkward bounce

too. It is one thing to serve big but to

be able to serve big at clutch moments, that's the added element

for the best servers in the game. That's a brilliant return.

Blistering. She just has a little more time facing the second serve,

89 mph instead of over 100, which is the norm for the Konta first serve.

It is a breezy day. It is rattling the effects microphones.

A missile to the Konta forehand, she was late.

That is the big serve to save that crucial break point. She saved seven

of 11 break points that she has faced in the tournament so far, make

that eight of 12. Hmm. Konta having to dig, but did

well in that service game, applause from her coach and hitting partner

as well, Andrew Fitzpatrick. You might have been imagining talking

about strengthening that, and it is what separates those were excellent

and those who become champions. That is really the difference at the end

of the day, who handles the big moments, and particularly on the

grass court, opportunities, and go very quickly, and you have to try to

capitalise on those small windows. Those break points, keep the focus.

She has to make sure that you doesn't make contact on the other

side of the net. Great job by Garcia there.

See, I think shot selection is still needed to be improved for Garcia,

that was a hard ball coming across the court, and she tried to hit it

up the line accurately - that is high risk. Go deep and hard back to

middle or crosscourt. Made that one, but a lot of risk to it. It is one

of the things that Wim Fissette was being very honest about, saying that

Garcia has all the shots, a very big selection to choose from, but it is

the timing - knowing when to play which one.

I think that is what Andy Murray saw, the ability for Garcia to

strike the ball well, hit the ball cleanly, good athlete, has weapons.

But she has oftentimes been brittle in the past - it is getting better

in the big moments. The best thing you can do as a

player, if you do not feel confident in big moments, is have certain

patterns that you go to for comfort, and I feel like Konta knows - she

gets a bowl, OK, these are the places that I can hit the ball to,

really clear with that. A shake of a French faced, Konta still ahead 4-3.

-- fist. It is interesting you talked about the mental approach,

Tracy, and how much stronger Jo Konta has become, but she was

rattled in Indian Wells by Garcia when she lost the third set. One of

the few occasions this year when somebody has actually managed to

wheedle their way into the mind of Konta, and she will remember that,

Konta, and so will Garcia. Absolutely, but with Konta, she is

such a quick learner, and she is so interested in getting better, she

always talks about the mantra. In press conferences, there are several

things you will hear every single press conference, I just go out

every day and try to improve as a tennis player. Small goals like

that, and it takes the big picture focus and pressure off, and are so

many players do that in order to take the expectations away. And you

really have to learn about yourself as a person and as a player, and

that is why it takes usually a couple of years for players to feel

more comfortable on tour. What they like to do on a off days, I saw Jo

practising yesterday about 11 until 12, then probably off for the rest

of the day, just resting. Catching Poldark, that is what she has been

doing, her favourite show at the moment. She has been carrying

assault around Wimbledon, on and off the court, with such confidence, she

has been chatting about her new flat up the road in Putney, baking

muffins, watching Poldark. She is in a good place at the moment, a good

place in his first set with a break of serve, 4-3.

APPLAUSE Into the forehand again,

predominantly on that side, a little more than half of the time going to

the forehand wing, about 60-40, the forehand wing on this side.

And I think that is because the forehand of Garcia is not quite as

sturdy. Doesn't get to the contact us consistently as she does on the

backhand, Garcia. Oh! She hasn't hit a backhand in

this game yet. My goodness, she wrapped herself around this.

Hmm. And after the adventure that was Konta's previous service game,

having to fend off a break point, that one much more straightforward.

It so often happens in a match - the player who serves the opening game

gets broken, a few extra nerves, and it was Garcia who lost her serve

that opening game, played from behind ever since. Here she is,

serving to stay in this first set. A lot of rhythm to this match, very

quick points. Vice Konta is managing to get those

returns of serve in very well, running at 76% in this one. Yes, she

is reading the return very well, she is on it, and depth has been

phenomenal, just so dialled in. Konta has only made three unforced

errors. The focus is extraordinary from Konta.

Watcher at every point, she finishes, she looks down at the

ground, she might looked up at her support box, but no clue about

anybody else in the stadium - that is exactly the way you want it, just

going through her routine before each point.

UMPIRE: Let, first serve. Garcia getting an astounding 86% of her

first serves in. And she withstood the mental

pressure well, Caroline Garcia, and she will force Konta to serve for

the set. A little technical masterclass, Tracy, on this Garcia

serve. She is an -- unusual in that she does not touch the ball with a

racket. The abbreviated motion there, when she gets to that point,

with the left knee bent, legs quite close together, but the left arm

reaching up, beautifully extended, and then get the left hip out over

the baseline, continues to dip down and then push forward and -- uncoils

with her whole upper body. Over the top of the ball and lands on the

left foot, inside the court for the next couple of minutes we will be

concentrating on the serve of Johanna Konta, and if it goes well,

she will be a set to the good in the next few minutes. Here it is, 5-4.

Once again on the second serve, the depth of the return from the French

player. Nice start from Garcia, putting a little pressure on Konta,

down 0-15. Yes, nicely done, because she was

under enormous pressure from the return. That was a heck of a pick-up

from Konta there, a laser beam of a return, and then Konta had all the

time in the world for the pass. A couple of second serves this game,

and Garcia has attacked, she has played a very aggressive game.

APPLAUSE A bit more aggressive, taking

control of the conversation earlier, Tracy.

Yeah, no signs of nerve, Konta, going back to her game plan.

111 mph down break point, really impressive.

She has had to take the long route. Here is a set point for Konta.

Tough for those watching - imagine what it is like to be playing!

APPLAUSE And again, you cannot say enough of

the quality of the return, and again it is on the second serve.

That is the key, Garcia all of a sudden having more time to produce

the return. Oh, late goal. It is confirmed by

the umpire that it was out from her view, but Caroline Garcia wants to

double-check. She has got three challenges up her sleeve, so she

might as well, such a critical point. Oh, it is in!

Oh, now Jo Konta wants to talk about this, because the ball was called

out, and she would say that she has stopped playing. The umpire was

saying that it was so late that it did not

disrupt hub she registered her objections but the objections were

turned back. The break of serve has gone.

Back on serve. Pretty crucial point there, Hawk-Eye still in play.

So let's sea of con two can dismiss that last game and move forward. --

so let's sea if those shots not hit with as much

authority from Konta. Lost this game mentally, three

unforced errors before this game. Let's have a listen to that moment

when the challenge was made, and Jo Konta said, what made you think,

Marija Cicak, that I would challenge before the ball was called out?

Let's listen to the audio on this. Pretty much simultaneously, maybe

Konta just a little air and of just a little ahead of the call. So the

call came after Konta hit the ball and struck the ball, and that is

what's Marija Cicak is saying. Konta did challenge it, but in challenging

it, it turned out that the ball was good. Eventually, Miss Garcia luck

that Marija Cicak and said, was that in or out, and she said I think it

was long, but if you want to challenge, and she said sure,

because she had three remaining. And it was in by just a few blades of

grass. Look at that, that is the manufacturer's name, that is in by

the depth of the ink! SUE BARKER: We are leaving this match on BBC Two,

but it is over on BBC One now. Well, such a busy day here, we are going

to round up the scores for you here on BBC Two in just a moment, but

back to the match we were watching earlier between Angelique Kerber and

Garbine Muguruza, it is an serve, Muguruza leading 4-3, so let's

rejoin the commentary team. Topsy-turvy final set continuing,

Kerber twice a break up, Muguruza ahead for the first time.

APPLAUSE Real conviction there, we know

Kerber has not moved forward that much in this match, but she has been

solid when she has to. 5-7. Comfortable hold. And with

Muguruza holding four break points, saving four in the last service

game, maybe she was just taking a bit of a breather there. They are

locked again. Yeah, it has been so tight, this third set.

Could have closed in a little bit more, Muguruza, not to allow this

want to bounce. That is the toughest volley - a couple of steps in, she

just stops to early. Not an easy shot, relying on a good bounce

there. Just look at that scoreboard still,

we have been saying that so much in this match, so tight!

Still believing, that is the best way, Muguruza, forwards. That is

incredible, isn't it? What a number, 16 for Muguruza, just one for

Kerber. Kerber has been to the net seven times, Muguruza 52 times!

Really good service game here from Muguruza. Serving at 64% first

serves. A smile? From can cheat? Or was it a grimace? -- Conchita.

Former Wimbledon Championships Conchita Martinez has played every

single shot, the Davis Cup and Fed Cup champion, long while retired,

but after this match she will have an ice bath, go and see the physio

to get rid of the tension before she has to go again. She has to play

legends this week as well, of course she will. But I think the difference

for Muguruza is she said it has just been great to be able to speak to

Conchita Wurst matches, she said I trust what she says, she's done it,

she's won it, and she can help Muguruza incredibly this week. They

have a really good relationship and there is lots of trust built up and

that is key for the coach- player relationship, you must 100% trust

what your coach is saying and the fact she has done it, 94, she beaten

body pretty good in that final as well. Allowing Martina to win her

tenth Wimbledon. Been a great asset for Muguruza this week, Conchita

Martinez. The crowd rallying for both. Kerber

to stay in the match. Smart play again from Muguruza. I

love what she is doing, back channelling all of those balls

through the middle of the court forcing Kerber to come up with

something a little special. Fortune will favour the brave in

these situations. That was a very interesting shot from Kerber under

pressure. She has not wavered from her mindset

and game plan today. She has been aggressive from the first shot,

Muguruza. That was an interesting shot from

Muguruza, straight through the middle but not beforehand, of the

back-end. -- not the forehand, off the back-end. Two quarterfinal

points. Torben Beltz is going to fall off

his chair if he's not careful. UMPIRE: Game, set and match, Miss

Muguruza. You can see what it means. The

battle of the finalists from the last two years is over, Muguruza has

done, she gritted her teeth, stayed faithful to the way she does best,

the winning smile says it all. She is through to her second

quarterfinal at Wimbledon. Very much a woman of conviction to the way she

has needed to play today, Garbine Muguruza. Very impressive. 4-6, 6-4,

6-4 in two hours and 20 gruelling minutes. SUE BARKER: What a

wonderful match of those watching on court two, what a treat,

high-quality tennis, and Muguruza goes through. Well, this is the busy

day when all last 16 matches are being played. This match is on Court

One, Britain's Jo Konta took the first set in a tie-break 7-3 against

Caroline Garcia. That matches live on BBC One if you want to watch it.

Over on Court 3 Coco Vandeweghe is serving, she was a break of serve up

against the former world number one Caroline Wozniacki and it is now

back on serve. That is on the red button and website. Overall on Court

12 Marin Cilic in your picture has a break of serve, although facing a

break point against poverty Bautista Agut. The 18th seed. Over on Court

18, the battle of the big servers, Sam Querrey, former champion at

Queen's. That is on serve. That is on the red button and BBC sport

website. We are going to head off to Centre Court, where Andy Murray will

be second on court and he may be getting ready now because Venus

Williams is one game away from going through to the last eight. We are

going to stay with this one on centre and join and Smith and Gigi

Salmon for this one. It has been an impressive display

from Venus Williams, 18 year age gap between these two in their first

meeting. The experience of Venus Williams shining through.

Under pressure, treble match point down and country-macro hangs in

there. -- Konjuh. Not finished yet. Treble match point down,

country-macro has shown some mettle. She has shown calmness, she is a

huge ball striker, as you've seen in the last few minutes she hits the

ball harder than Williams. But for the majority of the 59

minutes they have been it has been Venus running the show and serving

brilliantly. Konjuh a little naive strategically against one of the

greats. Not an awful lot Konjuh could have

done about that. Well saved from the 19-year-old from

Croatia. She faced triple match point to Venus Williams but she came

up with some serve this and the match goes on. -- came up with some

serves. Still very much, though, Sam Smith, Venus Williams in control of

this one. Yes, she just fancied a little longer out here on her

favourite court. I was about to shower her with praise with a

wonderful service performance, managing it from the baseline with

young Konjuh. It's such a privilege to have Billie Jean King at this

year's Wimbledon 50 years on, I'm sure she went mind me saying, since

she won the triple Crown, singles, doubles and mixed and did it all

again in 1973. It is something Anyika Onuora was on four at the

start of this one, still in the doubles and mixed but I fear it

might be stretched too far with the triple Crown this year. -- Konjuh.

But we've got to stay positive. Peter Simple now for Konjuh, she

must break the Williams serve but it doesn't look that simple after that

race. She will struggle because Williams has most of the time serve

down the middle of that T and Konjuh seems to lack standing outside by

the double strand lines. -- tramlines. She has had a couple of

break points, Konjuh, in the second set. It is possible. She can get

herself into that position. To do so I would suggest she shifts

over towards that side. I'm sounding like a broken record. I think she

likes it out there. A couple more match points for Venus Williams. She

had three on the Konjuhserve and now has three on her own.

There it is. Just over an hour, the five-time Wimbledon Championships or

her box, including her mother, are on their feet because Venus Williams

is back in the Wimbledon quarterfinals. An excellent

performance from Venus Williams. She has done the twirl, takes her seat.

Sam Smith, it is incredible what we continue to see from Venus Williams

year after year. She's 37 years of age but the hunger and is still

there in spades. She doesn't think it's remarkable. But for Konjuh, she

played her first Wimbledon in 97. Williams was expected to have a good

run here. I don't think she is happy with her last eight finish. I think

there is much more to come from Williams, watched by one of her

biggest fans and supporters, she will know that Billie Jean was up

there. Venus is nicely coming on to the boil at this year's Wimbledon.

What a tasty quarterfinal match against the French Open champion

Jelena Ostapenko. Venus Williams is used to big hitting by now.

So, Venus Williams, five times champion, the only former champion

left in the ladies tournament is through to the last eight at

Wimbledon once again at the age of 37. And still a contender for a

Grand Slam title. A 12 from Venus and she is through to the

quarterfinals tomorrow. We have been promised we may get a little rain

later, there are a few clouds around but everyone still enjoying the

Wimbledon experience and even if you have a ground passed today it is so

wonderful, so much happening around the All-England Club today on this

Alnwick Monday, as we call it, and you can obviously see all of the

courts on the red button, the BBC sport app and website. -- manic

Monday. Before we head back to Centre Court let's remind you of

some matches that have already been completed. Svetlana Kuznetsova was

not on court long, another straight sets victory for her, the seventh

seed going through against Radwanska 7-2, 6-4 -- 6-2. Such experience,

former Grand Slam winner, and nobody really talking about her but she has

raced through the Championships this year. The French Open champion is

also three and will face Venus Williams, Jelena Ostapenko. She hit

42 outright winners in this match and she won it on her eighth match

point against the number four seed Elina Svitolina 6-3, 7-6, so

Ostapenko goes through. Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia had a battle

out on Court 18 against the qualifier Petra Martic of Croatia

but came through in three sets 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 and goes through to face

either Coco Vandeweghe or Caroline Wozniacki.

And we saw an incredible match on Court two, worthy of a final.

Everyone enjoying it, the spectators that were there. Quality tennis from

start to finish and it went to Garbine Muguruza, the former French

Open champion winning 6-4 in the third set against the top seed

Angelique Kerber, who will lose her number one ranking after that loss.

Garbine Muguruza has again built for the grass and she could go a long

way here, a former finalist at the Championships. Some wonderful scenes

out on Court two, they thoroughly enjoyed the match, standing ovation

for both players. As I said, it is so busy, Henman Hill is busy as

well. We have Jo Konta playing on Court Number One, that match is on

BBC One. Coming up next, a very familiar face on Centre Court.

Wimbledon Championships and, a supreme performance.

SUE BARKER: There is a real buzz on Centre Court, as there always is

before Andy Murray matches. Auris, you know all about this and about

this day in the second week when it all starts for the top players,

doesn't it? You call it manic Monday and I call it Magic money because if

you like tennis this is maybe the best day of the year, the best 16

players, male and female, have to play today on various courts so I

can imagine it is a scheduling nightmare as to who to put on, we

just saw Kerber and Muguruza on Court Number Two but somebody has to

be on two and somebody on one and I'm sure everybody wants to be

underscored but obviously there is a home favourite coming in Andy Murray

and afterwards we will see Roger Federer, those guys deserve to be

here. I'm just hearing on Court Number One Jo Konta has been broken

in the second set in her match against Caroline Garcia, that match

is on BBC One if you want to see it. We hear the players for this match

are on their way. Andy Murray knows this walk well but this is a new

experience for Benoit Paire. Yes and in all likelihood the Frenchman will

see the effects of Leon. This is a very different Court, very special

court. Having said that he is in the round of 16, both players have

played before on one occasion when Morais won. -- Marie won. Let's see

how Murray starts because he had two days off after this scare against

Fognini on Friday night so we will see Harry comes out of the blocks.

The French player is a shot maker, bit on the unpredictable side but

that will be entertaining for the people. Marie sees to that, every

opponent has been unpredictable and a little different, this year. It

looks that way, Murray has his own troubles with the hip, we shouldn't

talk about that any more. He needs to improve inform me in the second

week he must step up to the plate, Federer, Nadal and Murray and

Djokovic are in great form but obviously, walking out as we speak

at a beautiful time of the day,... Stand-by for the roar.

That is Benoit Paire and Andy Murray, huge cheer, everyone

standing to welcome back the defending champion. Andy Murray on

Centre Court, Jo Konta on Court Number One. This is some new

experience for British fans here, Boris. To have so many players

playing at the same time, in fact there are two. The success rate in

the first week was excellent. Obviously we expect this man to be

in the second week. It was Konta's first time in the round of 16 so

it's a great day for British tennis. It certainly is and you mentioned

Andy's match against Fognini, on paper it looked straightforward but

it was anything but in the fourth set. Yes, we all expected a fifth

set but the crowd was on their feet. We talked about maybe closing the

roof because it was getting darker late out there. But he found the

magic and won the last five games and really came back. That's really

the type of atmosphere he likes, he plays his best tennis in so

hopefully the crowd gets behind him early so he can raise his emotions.

He is trying to go into the quarterfinals for the tenth

consecutive year, Andy Murray. What a record that is. We've talked about

his rather unorthodox opponents. Let's look at his story so far in

the Championships. You get out there and get through

the first few games you settle down and remember that you can play

tennis and that's what you always do. When you are out there in the

middle of it you are trying to learn a little bit from each point you

play. Plenty of style from Andy Murray. He's not an easy guide to

read and he was playing shots you don't see many guys try, never mind

pulling off. That's too good. Did somebody say he had a hip problem?

It's been great so far, happy with how I've been living, no reason why

I can't have a good one. That is brilliant, Murray through to the

third round at Wimbledon. I feel like I let Fabio Duarte to a few too

many of the points. Well played, Fabio Fognini. There was a lot going

on on the court, Fabio got a point penalty which is very rare. Point

penalty, using an obscenity. It's the game. A good one to get through

and the crowd at the end were great. What a way to finish! As the

tournament goes on and you want to be the aggressor, the dictator,

that's something I work on in practice.

SUE BARKER: Well, Andy knows he will have to improve on that third-round

match against Fabio Fognini but the great champions do. They know that

every round you have got it up your game. This is a two-week tournament,

not a one-week tournament and you have to pace yourself a little. If

you play your best tennis on the first Wednesday or Thursday you will

not have it in the second week so that plays into his favour. Ten

times in the round of 16 going to the quarterfinal. You want to raise

your level depending on your position. Obviously he is a horse

that jumps only as high as necessary. In the second week in

order for him to defend the title he needs to improve a little bit.

Murray has looked good. We've talked a little bit about the limp and that

he has been limping a little bit over the week but he is moving so

fast on the court, lots of people have been testing him. Without

having a chance to win. In the press conference when people asked him

about it, he said maybe I finally started to what, maybe it's not a

problem, maybe it's the way I walk. Between the points he is sort of

wobbling but once the points start he is fit as a fiddle. Physically he

is 100%. He has a great team around him that will get him fit. It does

look like there is a little bit of a limp. What about his opponent today?

Benoit Paire is a rather flashy player and very different from

others. Let's find out more about him. This is the first time I'm in

the second week in Wimbledon so I'm really happy. My game is good this

week, but it's the first week so we will see in the second week. For the

first week it was very good. I hope for the next week it will be the

same. This man was absolutely unplayable today. I feel more

confident on grass, I won some matches this year in Stuttgart. I

feel good, I want to play hundred percent in all of the matches I

play, the most important thing is to play fully in every point that's

what I'm saying and for the moment it is working so I will try and do

the same against Andy. It will be tough against Andy, it's never easy,

but I played him one time on clay and lost in three sets and I will

try this time to make it different. For me I know that Andy Murray is

the king here but I will try and do my best to see if I can win. He was

a little injured before the tournament and I saw his first two

matches he won easily in three sets against two players, brown and

public. I don't have any problem. He will be 100% and I will have to play

a good match if I want to win. -- Alexander Bublik. The most famous

court, the Centre Court at Wimbledon, is very special but I've

never played on the skort and it will be special for me and I'm happy

and proud to be on the skort. I hope I'm going to make a good match

because I feel confident so my goal is to win the match.

He is certainly a lot better on this surface now because it was three

years ago he was very outspoken about playing in Wimbledon. To quote

him from his press conference he said: simple, I hate Wimbledon. How

dare he, Boris? Yes, you shouldn't be allowed back in the club after a

statement like that. Not every player is comfortable on the grass

so they blame it, that's very much part of our history and whoever wins

Wimbledon is part of the record books. Having listened to him a

little bit he has a very bushy beard. I don't know if that is

superstition, or if that is the look nowadays. He mentioned he played in

Stuttgart as a warm up on a grass tournament, he mentioned he will try

everything. You are supposed to try everything, you don't have to

mention it. Let's look at the drop shots and forehand slides, some of

the flashy shots he likes to play. Such an on traditional play but he

has a good backhand. He has one of the best backhands in the game, he

runs around the forehand to play the backhand at times and a very

interesting shotmaker. He goes for shots that other people would just

bumble back. Very difficult as an opponent to find the right strategy.

I suppose it's difficult when playing somebody who is so flashy

and unpredictable it's not easy down the other end, is it? You have to

watch your own form and watch the other guy at the same time and that

has been a problem with Andy in the first week, especially in the

Fognini match, maybe watching the other guy too much at times what he

was doing. Obviously Andy has a strategy right but it depends a lot

on the player and the way he is serving. As far as Andy is concerned

he has proved he can win matches when not playing well. That is

really important, isn't it? It's the sign of a winner and the sign of a

champion. You cannot always play your very best, you have to play

good enough, especially in the early rounds when you expect to be in the

second week of a Grand Slam. I think Andy has just done that, coasted

nicely, had two days off on Saturday and Sunday so the training sessions

are interesting, what you will do on the Saturday or Sunday but I'm sure

they found the right way. All of the players are playing with injury,

almost everyone has a needle. If you go to the locker room now everyone

is with the train are getting taped up somewhere. There isn't a player

who steps on the court who is 100%. We will move out of I like the carry

on talking because the players are about to walk out. It is going to be

important for Andy to get off to a good start, isn't it? Absolutely. He

wants to have the crowd behind him early. They really lifted him on

Friday night. He wants to get the timing right early. He wants to be

the first one to break the other guy's serve because that sets you in

a nice mood in the match. OK, so we are getting here Boris. Thank you,

on your way to the commentary box. I will just update you on BBC One, Jo

Konta is playing on Court Number One and she is down 4-1, down a double

break of serve in the second set, although she won the first set. That

is over on BBC One. But now it is British number one,

defending champion Andy Murray, starting on Centre Court.

No shortage of eccentric opponents for Andrew Murray during this

tournament, but he is definitely playing against one in Benoit Paire.

UMPIRE: Mr Paire is challenging the call, the ball was called out. One

of the earliest challenges I have seen in a match. My call stands,

30-0. Expect the unexpected today. UMPIRE: Mr Paire has two challenges

remaining. He has just finished a very nice lunch upstairs, coming

down to support his countrymen. Bash -- countryman.

This is what you are looking for after you didn't have a match over

the weekend. How different is that? Everybody needs to regenerate, all

the stocks of food and drink comes in, but two days since Andy Murray

played, one day break for everybody, but two days since the Fognini

match. That is the tricky part, Saturday and Sunday, obviously a

long one on Friday night, so I'm sure they took it easy on Saturday,

but you want to get a proper practice on the Sunday. To start

ready on the Monday at 2:30. So far they have done everything right, he

has won five points in a row. This 28-year-old is from Avignon,

Benoit Paire. Six tall, they call him the Stork, a man who hit 66

winners in his previous match, 13 of those were drop shots. He is going

to hit a lot of crop shots, maybe some shots you have not seen before.

He has had a few run-ins, has Benoit Paire, notably at the Olympic Games

in Rio, he didn't want to wear the official French kid or stay in the

Olympic Village either. Wonderful defence from Murray - and

anticipation too. First time on Centre Court for the

Frenchman. Oh, that is well played, Paire, he

was patient. Very good, he settled in with that point. A couple of

times he had a look at the short ball to come in, that was one of

them, short reply waiting for the ground stroke - this is good. Murray

giving him a little present there, hitting the backhand high in the

middle of the court. APPLAUSE

That is his weaker side. During the course of this match,

when Murray has a choice of whether to go to the forehand or backhand

side, on the bigger point is, I suspect he will pick out the

Frenchman's forehand as a target. And there is the difficult thing

with Paire, you do not know which corner to take sometimes, so the

backhand is very quick, he takes it early, and on the forehand it is the

complete opposite. Thierry Champion on the right with the Black Watch,

former player, he has been coaching Paire for a year.

I think he was a top 100 player, we were playing around the same time,

good on the clay court. He has got a project on his hands with Benoit

park, certainly dealing with a talent.

That is a big double. Intimidation factor on Centre Court, where the

player has never played, and this is the most famous tennis court in the

world, and unless you have played on it, you are bound to have nerves.

Well, his backhand is just an all day long weapon, a wonderful stroke,

short ball here, the ability to do much with the ball on that side.

And that is the end of the game, and it was a good one. Just changed his

mind there, Murray, thinking about the drop shot. This is rather like

the match he might have enjoyed the other day with Ernests Gulbis versus

Novak Djokovic, Gulbis certainly not favoured to win the match, but he

threw everything against the man who was favoured. He sort of run out of

steam towards the end - or actually in the middle.

Murray tries to dictate the points early, it is the right thing to do.

You are bound to make a couple more unforced errors.

Yeah, there it is, watch out for that one.

That was better by Murray, the shots had a bit more power on them.

And he has made it on that Rob Bonnet, that is a beautifully played

shot. -- on the drop volley, that is a beautifully played shot.

After a difficult first service game, on the other hand, I am a

little bit surprised by the tactics of Murray. Indeed, well, there is

the break. SUE BARKER: Hmm, worrying times for Andy Murray in the opening

stages of this match. Jo Konta is one break back, but Garcia is

serving for the set once again. Jo Konta fighting hard, that much over

on BBC One, Jo having won the first set, Garcia serving for the second,

that is over on BBC One. Back we go to Centre Court.

A job on their hands, Jamie Delgado and a ban land, I wonder what you

can say when you are playing against Benoit part or preparing someone for

a match against him. I guess just concentrate on your own game. I

thought Andy's first game was good, although at times a bit too passive.

Leading the other player dictate too much

A little bit of ill fortune for Murray, certainly not going his way

today so far. He had to turn here, some would say

he would have made that 99 times out of 100 normally. That is partly

Paire's game plan. Well, you have to say that the least

two of those points, maybe three, were a donation to the Andy Murray

winning Wimbledon again fund! I mean, you have a break serve and

then throw in a drop shot on second point? 15-0 up?

How can you coach a guy like this? I mean, the word is that he doesn't

overwork, and yet he has played every single week that was available

to him to play tournaments, nobody has played more on the circuit, so

he likes to play - not train. I can understand that.

Talking about his backwards movement, it is a bit slow.

Magnificent, this, back-spin giving a little bit of air, it bites into

the turf and would have hit the net, I think. Either way. Three break

points. This would be an important hold for

Murray, to settle the ship a little bit.

Still break points Paire. That is a very fine approach, on a

slightly weaker side, and he has broken again, and Murray is having a

right rant and they rave about his player's box.

And the reason he is having a rant and they rave is that Paire is

playing well, and a couple of times Andy will feel he should have got

the ball deeper or into a better place, but either way he is losing.

And as we said at the top of the programme, very difficult to find

the right strategy against Paire, because nobody plays like that. Who

would do six drop shots by now? Run around the forehand? Murray has

played Alexander Bublik in the first round, pretty eccentric, Dustin

Brown was somebody who was happy to play any sort of game to get the job

done. You have got to love these guys having a go, then Fabio

Fognini, and there is only one of him, I can tell you that! Great

match, Murray had to win the last five games to get through, and now

Benoit Paire. They played last year in Monte Carlo, so they have a bit

of history between the two. Just as in the last game where he

had a break of serve, Benoit Paire comic he goes for the drop shot and

loses the point with a 15-0 lead. 30-0 and you are odds-on to hold

your serve, 15-0, even Stephens again. Even Stephen, highlighted!

I think he is debating with his coaching team, they want him to step

into the court and take it earlier, where his comfort zone is more

behind the baseline. That is very, very crucial, that the

coaching team and player have to agree on what is right.

Writes a pretty unconventional starts to a match, isn't it?

Especially on a grass court, Andy Murray has made 15 out of 16 first

serves and has lost his serve twice. It is very weird.

Longest rally of the match so far, 17 strokes.

And I think the best one for Andy Murray, starting to lift his game a

little bit - it is time! The courts get a nice rest on this

middle Sunday, but just catching a ridge.

Well, that backhand is a gift, isn't it?

Beautiful shot, not a bad second serve, just into the comfort zone of

Benoit Paire - nothing you can do about it.

That is an unforced air on the forehand that he needs to try and

avoid. -- unforced error. That was hit into the body of the

Frenchman, and he had to run around - and missed it.

APPLAUSE UMPIRE: New balls, please. It was an

important old, he could not afford to go to macro breaks down. 4-3,

Paire. Murray is holding on, fighting hard
