:00:46. > :00:51.Welcome back to Wimbledon and what a story has unfolded here this
:00:52. > :00:55.afternoon. Outstanding performance from the British number one, Jo
:00:56. > :00:58.Konta who came back from one set down to defeat the world number two
:00:59. > :01:03.Simona Halep under the roof on Centre Court. A scream from a
:01:04. > :01:11.spectator put off both players on match point but the point stood and
:01:12. > :01:15.Jo was announced the winner. Even when it got tight, Jo kept to her
:01:16. > :01:20.game plan and has got a place in the Wimbledon semifinal. Incredible
:01:21. > :01:25.match from start to finish and the crowd loved it, standing ovation for
:01:26. > :01:29.both players, richly deserved. This young lady, we have a new British
:01:30. > :01:36.superstar here at Wimbledon and we will look forward to her in the
:01:37. > :01:40.semifinal on Thursday. Billie Jean King, winner of 20 Wimbledon titles,
:01:41. > :01:45.you know what it's like to play that kind of match when it gets that
:01:46. > :01:49.tight, how impressed were you with Jo? Totally impressed, impressed
:01:50. > :01:54.with her whole story, from sticking to what she believed in and learning
:01:55. > :01:59.to be the best she can be. Jo is going to get better than she is now.
:02:00. > :02:03.She went out and she stayed decisive, she knew her game plan,
:02:04. > :02:07.she knew that she would miss more shots than Halep, don't get upset,
:02:08. > :02:11.hang in there and stay true to the game plan because she wasn't going
:02:12. > :02:17.to bring the other way, she had to be the aggressor. That's easier said
:02:18. > :02:20.than done. You have to be appropriately aggressive and being
:02:21. > :02:26.appropriately aggressive isn't easy because sometimes you get overly
:02:27. > :02:31.aggressive, you start making too many unforced errors. You must make
:02:32. > :02:39.more winners than unforced errors and that's what she did, 48 and 36.
:02:40. > :02:43.Halep probably wasn't going to have many unforced errors because she is
:02:44. > :02:49.more of a retriever. Such a delicate balance to do that and I thought Jo
:02:50. > :02:53.stayed the course, even when new could see people talking, I was in
:02:54. > :02:58.the lounge watching a bit and people said she was wobbling. She stayed
:02:59. > :03:03.with her game plan and in the end she knew that was how she was going
:03:04. > :03:07.to win and he did it in front of the greatest crowd. I'd just love
:03:08. > :03:14.playing here, I wish I'd been British! If you are British at
:03:15. > :03:20.Wimbledon, if you embrace the energy that people give you, and how much
:03:21. > :03:23.they love and want you to win, they haven't had doubles winners, so they
:03:24. > :03:29.are so appreciative when they finally have a great player, like
:03:30. > :03:34.they did in 77 with Virginia Wade and now this chance hopefully for
:03:35. > :03:40.Jo. I can't wait, I'm exhausted by watching that match. We all are.
:03:41. > :03:43.Talking about the stats, we knew that she had to accept she would
:03:44. > :03:49.make more unforced errors but she couldn't play Halep's game, she had
:03:50. > :03:55.to play her own. That is the rub, because it was such an even match.
:03:56. > :04:01.It was so tense, every game. Somebody would be ahead 30-0 and
:04:02. > :04:06.then it would be 30-30. That's what happens on grass. Jo said after the
:04:07. > :04:12.match in her interview, things happen so fast here. You work hard
:04:13. > :04:20.to get ahead in a match, so many times I felt bad that I had got
:04:21. > :04:25.ahead even 5-4 and all of a sudden I lost the set 7-5, what happened? It
:04:26. > :04:31.feels like it took forever to get ahead but takes no time to lose it.
:04:32. > :04:36.Well, she played so well. It has been a privilege to watch that last
:04:37. > :04:41.set with you. Hats off to Jo Konta, she deserved everything she has. We
:04:42. > :04:46.are heading straight out to Centre Court. Because of the rain the last
:04:47. > :04:57.remaining quarterfinal has been moved onto Centre Court, this is
:04:58. > :05:00.Vandeweghe against my Boruc over -- against Rybarikova. Let's go to
:05:01. > :05:35.Centre Court. COMMENTATOR: They will be crowding
:05:36. > :05:40.around their TV sets in the home city of Rybarikova. Ranked 87 in the
:05:41. > :05:47.world, although she has been ranked as high as 31. Two surgeries in the
:05:48. > :05:53.last year, to her wrist and her knee and she is on the verge of something
:05:54. > :06:02.enormous here. First ever Grand Slam quarterfinal, for the 2080 role. --
:06:03. > :06:08.28-year-old. What has she got right here, tactically? Using so much
:06:09. > :06:18.variety, she's so skilful. Very good mover. She is able to absorb the
:06:19. > :06:27.pace from Vandeweghe, different speeds, using different lengths as
:06:28. > :06:34.well. This is where Vandeweghe has got to calm down here, give herself
:06:35. > :06:38.more margin, remember that Rybarikova may be nervous, trying to
:06:39. > :06:46.cross the finish line. Got to earn it.
:06:47. > :06:55.Whoa. 25th error from her and it looks like Rybarikova, unseeded,
:06:56. > :07:07.will join the semifinal line-up at the modern. -- at Wimbledon.
:07:08. > :07:18.So, Tracy, what has been up with Coco because she was broken in her
:07:19. > :07:24.opening service game and she hasn't recovered. I wonder if she's feeling
:07:25. > :07:27.so much pressure because of the opportunity, because she is a former
:07:28. > :07:33.quarterfinalist here, grass being her favourite surface. She has been
:07:34. > :07:37.the favourite in each match she has played and she was the favourite
:07:38. > :07:45.here. Rybarikova, 87 in the world, first-time major quarterfinalist and
:07:46. > :07:51.Coco missing by big margins today, she's just never looked comfortable.
:07:52. > :07:54.Rybarikova on the flip side, it looks like she's played multiple
:07:55. > :08:08.quarterfinals in majors, very calm and composed. Following her game
:08:09. > :08:13.plan beautifully. Three hours ago they came off the court in the rain,
:08:14. > :08:18.a court that had lost its hat, but now they are on the Centre Court
:08:19. > :08:21.which has got its hat on. Two different situations but it's
:08:22. > :08:30.Rybarikova who has handled it far better. Vandeweghe these days under
:08:31. > :08:38.the watchful eye of Pat Cash but he can only watch in some frustration
:08:39. > :08:39.as Vandeweghe, with the new balls, serving to stay in the last of these
:08:40. > :08:54.ladies quarterfinals. Just falling apart, serving 31% of
:08:55. > :09:33.first serves in. Rybarikova on the verge of becoming
:09:34. > :09:39.the first Slovak woman ever to make the Wimbledon semifinal. It was
:09:40. > :09:43.Sybil Cove last year who made the quarters. And to Covert back in 2002
:09:44. > :10:16.but none have reached the last four. The target. The forehand isn't quite
:10:17. > :11:34.as sure and steady, Rybarikova. Nothing really has gone right for
:11:35. > :11:40.Coco Vandeweghe. This is not the woman Uysal surging into the
:11:41. > :11:54.quarterfinals. -- we saw surging. Match point, Rybarikova.
:11:55. > :12:05.Those are the kind of points Pat Cash wants her to play, hit it with
:12:06. > :12:09.enough pace, give yourself margin, getting forced errors. Right now he
:12:10. > :12:11.would be happy with her just getting the ball in the court, in the
:12:12. > :12:52.rectangle. Margins. That was brave. Beautifully
:12:53. > :13:33.executed. The Centre Court has already seen
:13:34. > :13:37.one comeback today. I'm not sure if it has the energy for another. It is
:13:38. > :13:42.about two thirds full, many leaving after the contact Halep -- Konta
:13:43. > :14:20.Halep encounter. This has been a nightmare for Coco
:14:21. > :14:26.Vandeweghe. Not what she dreamt of when she went to bed last night.
:14:27. > :15:09.Third chance to close, for Rybarikova.
:15:10. > :15:54.Starting to serve better. Just had to let out the tension.
:15:55. > :16:05.Vandeweghe flooring off the shackles. -- throwing off. Amazing
:16:06. > :16:12.what they view first serves will do for your confidence. -- what a few
:16:13. > :16:32.first serves. Getting ahead in the point.
:16:33. > :16:40.Nice to get the first point when you're trying to serve for any
:16:41. > :17:02.match, let alone a match of this significance.
:17:03. > :17:17.Miss Vandeweghe is challenging the call, the ball was called in.
:17:18. > :17:38.You hit it into the net. That's absolute baloney. He called it
:17:39. > :17:48.before I hit it, I was standing at the ball. In my opinion it hit the
:17:49. > :17:52.net. If he says it at the same time it is a distraction on the play.
:17:53. > :18:01.Have you ever played tennis, if somebody calls out when you are in
:18:02. > :18:05.motion, that a distraction. It it only isn't a distraction if the ball
:18:06. > :18:14.has left the racket. Saying it in the middle of my hit. How does it
:18:15. > :18:18.not affect the play, when I am in the swing? I mean, what are you
:18:19. > :18:26.talking about? I am being serious, what are you talking about? I am in
:18:27. > :18:33.play. I mean, you're out of line, totally wrong. How are you that
:18:34. > :18:36.wrong? You're unbelievable. In my opinion, Kelly Thompson really
:18:37. > :18:46.buried herself when she said you are in the middle of play when it was
:18:47. > :18:49.called out. Out. Miss Vandeweghe is challenging the ball on the left
:18:50. > :18:58.baseline, the ball was called in. Very close, wasn't it? It was close.
:18:59. > :19:13.Benefit of the doubt for Coco there? Whatever, it is 30-0.
:19:14. > :19:23.Pretty much summed up Vandeweghe's afternoon and evening. Rybarikova
:19:24. > :19:25.has been so poised throughout her first ever Grand Slam quarterfinal.
:19:26. > :19:56.She's got three more match points. It is a Slovak surprise. The
:19:57. > :20:08.unseeded Magdalena Rybarikova is through to the Wimbledon semifinal.
:20:09. > :20:17.The fairy tale continues. This is a woman who hadn't won, two surgeries
:20:18. > :20:24.last year, and was outside the top 400 as recently as March this year.
:20:25. > :20:33.Coming to Wimbledon, her preparation wasn't the Gold tour, it was
:20:34. > :20:38.Elkington and elsewhere, winning both tournaments and now she finds
:20:39. > :20:43.herself in a Wimbledon semifinal. For Vandeweghe, Tracey, just under
:20:44. > :20:51.pressure, didn't deliver, utter devastation. 30 unforced errors
:20:52. > :20:56.compared to just eight, four Rybarikova. Rybarikova just handled
:20:57. > :21:04.the situation so much better, staying calm and composed, really
:21:05. > :21:09.executing a terrific game plan. Vandeweghe, very rattled. Look at
:21:10. > :21:17.the little smile, she can't believe it. I'm afraid you're going to have
:21:18. > :21:21.two, Magdalena. You've got the 14th seed, Muguruza and a date on Centre
:21:22. > :21:31.Court, Thursday afternoon. First ever Slovak woman to make a
:21:32. > :21:34.Wimbledon women's semifinal. What a week for Rybarikova, she couldn't
:21:35. > :21:39.have believed it last year, sitting on her sofa at home, her wrist in
:21:40. > :21:45.plaster, her knee up on a chair. Couldn't have imagined playing
:21:46. > :21:49.tennis like this but it always brings up fairy tales and this is a
:21:50. > :22:03.very special one. In the end, it was routine. Straight sets, 6-3, 6-3.
:22:04. > :22:10.One hour and 14 minutes. It was a dream quarterfinal. Let's speak to
:22:11. > :22:13.Magdalena. Congratulations, first Slovak woman to appear in a
:22:14. > :22:19.Wimbledon semifinal. Can you put this into words? No, can't believe
:22:20. > :22:25.it, really can't believe it. I would have never believed I could be in a
:22:26. > :22:30.semifinal before this tournament. I am really speechless right now. So
:22:31. > :22:35.happy and grateful. The contrast in emotions from now on to this time
:22:36. > :22:38.last year, you were out for seven months, dropping to 400 in the world
:22:39. > :22:41.rankings as recently as March and now you are a semifinalist at
:22:42. > :22:47.Wimbledon, playing the tennis of your life. It was a very difficult
:22:48. > :22:53.time and I was sad about it. I had a tough time and right now, I'm here.
:22:54. > :23:00.Everything paid off, my rehabilitation, my work. The people
:23:01. > :23:05.behind that, it is incredible. I'm sorry, I am so happy, I am really
:23:06. > :23:10.speechless. You've created history, you deserve to be. You had wins in
:23:11. > :23:16.Surbiton and Ilkley at the lower level but this is a different level,
:23:17. > :23:20.this is Wimbledon. How have you kept it together, keeping so calm and
:23:21. > :23:24.progressing so impressively? I was afraid because I have only played
:23:25. > :23:29.smaller tournaments and I didn't know how I would play here. I've
:23:30. > :23:32.played in the semifinal at Nottingham, beating good players but
:23:33. > :23:39.this is Wimbledon and I couldn't have expected to play like this.
:23:40. > :23:43.Beating Coco 6-3, 6-3, which is amazing for me. I was glad I was
:23:44. > :23:48.focused, even changing court and here I am. It does not get any
:23:49. > :23:53.easier, Muguruza coming in the semifinal but the way you are
:23:54. > :23:56.playing, surely you fear no one? I played her grass and won a few years
:23:57. > :24:02.ago but it will be a different class, she impressed me a lot,
:24:03. > :24:06.playing really well and it will be really tough. I am not the
:24:07. > :24:15.favourite. I hope I enjoyed the match. The words Magdalena
:24:16. > :24:20.Rybarikova, Wimbledon semifinalist, can you believe it? No, I will have
:24:21. > :24:25.to sleep on it. Congratulations again, well done. Amazing story,
:24:26. > :24:29.with all of the injuries, coming back to the tour in February and now
:24:30. > :24:37.she is in the last four at Wimbledon. We have a few minutes
:24:38. > :24:40.left, Clare will be here in Today at Wimbledon soon. We will show the
:24:41. > :24:45.conclusion of a match that took place on Court Two and our chance to
:24:46. > :24:58.look at Jamie Murray, his partner in the mixed doubles, Martina Hingis,
:24:59. > :25:03.facing Hradecka and Jebavy of the Czech Republic. Murray and Hingis
:25:04. > :25:49.taking the first sets. Jebavy is difficult to predict,
:25:50. > :25:56.isn't he? Some awkward shots, but you saw there, wonderful touch.
:25:57. > :25:59.We've seen it all in one game. We mentioned it, you know, the loose
:26:00. > :26:05.shots on the easy balls, you think he should make and then this
:26:06. > :26:10.beautiful shot, crosscourt, nice touch, enough underspend. Not an
:26:11. > :26:17.easy shot to hit. They are the kind of shots, when you watch doubles and
:26:18. > :26:22.mixed doubles, I think the crowd enjoy the variety, finding different
:26:23. > :26:36.angles, it isn't all about power. You need variety. A match that
:26:37. > :26:43.started over three hours ago but we had two rain delays. Here is Jamie
:26:44. > :26:44.Murray to try and get him self and Martina through to the
:26:45. > :27:45.quarterfinals. Hingis and Murray and the net, their
:27:46. > :27:49.hands are too good. If you hit it flat and hard and then, this is what
:27:50. > :27:52.happens. Look at the technique on the backhand volley from Hingis and
:27:53. > :28:08.there is the winner from Murray. Nice touch.
:28:09. > :28:19.Talking of touch, how about that? That's how good he is at the net. A
:28:20. > :28:26.good half-volley followed up by another beautiful shot. Judy quite
:28:27. > :28:30.like that as well. There is the half-volley, and there is the angle
:28:31. > :28:33.on the next one. Look how he was always looking to move forwards.
:28:34. > :28:39.That wouldn't have gone over if he didn't do that. Three match points.
:28:40. > :28:47.Away it goes and they are through to the last eight.
:28:48. > :28:56.A really enjoyable match. It has gone according to form. Their first
:28:57. > :28:57.two matches together, Murray and Hingis, two from two and they
:28:58. > :29:13.haven't dropped a sets so far. I wonder where Carol Kirkwood had
:29:14. > :29:18.gone! That was earlier today, this is the weather now, it has moved in.
:29:19. > :29:23.Don't go anywhere because next we have Today at Wimbledon. Men's
:29:24. > :29:25.quarterfinal stage tomorrow, and Andy Murray is first on Centre
:29:26. > :29:27.Court.
