6:32 pm
for the first time since 1973. with wins for andy murray and johanna konta, who becomes the first british woman in the last eight of the women's singles since 1984. and there'll be a new women's world number one as angelique kerber is knocked out in round four. and rooney returns home — everton‘s new old boy says his career is far from finished. i'm not coming to a retirement home. i'm not coming to a retirement home. i'm ready to play, i want to win, i wa nt to i'm ready to play, i want to win, i want to be successful at this football club. welcome to week two here at wimbledon, and the day dubbed ‘manic monday', with all 32 players left in the men's and women's singles in action. the fans on murray mound have been enjoying themselves, in full voice to see both johanna konta and andy murray make it through to the quarterfinals.
6:33 pm
murray came through in straight sets against benoit paire. ben croucher was watching. the second monday at wimbledon, they call it manic and magic. so many matches to choose from, it's hard to know where to look. centre court as i was know where to look. centre court as iwasa know where to look. centre court as i was a good bet, especially when andy murray is in town hunting yet another quarterfinal appearance. murray faced benoit paire, playing in the second week of islam from the second time. soon, he wriggled under the skin of the defending champion. he made sure par was getting to know the centre court soil. in the first set, the two traded breaks, the
6:34 pm
closest benoit paire got to murray in the match. commentator: this is a tough time for the french player. and entertaining contest. murray put provided plenty of exercise for the vocal cords of the crowd. commentator: straight sets over benoit paire for andy murray. and thought it went well today. a couple of sloppy games in the first set, but that was by far the best i have had the ball so far in the tournament, so i am really pleased with that. he's not an easy guide to play, he's got one of the best backhand and he can play every shot, so backhand and he can play every shot, so it's not all was easy to see where you should be playing a ball,
6:35 pm
packed his current easy against him. hard to know where to look today? not from murrayfield and he's only got eyes for one thing. —— not for murray, he's only got eyes for... so, as expected, the world number 0ne proving too strong, i'm joined by former british number one. annabel, he is in form, but he's going to have some work to do to get back to his best, how much is his experience and to come for?” think he can draw a lot of experience, particularly on centre court. i think his level are starting to gradually come up. he looked good today. and that was against a very difficult opponent, benoit paire was someone who let him buy a set and a double break in their on the previous meeting, at monte carlo. he's also got a huge serve, an amazing touch and feel. and his slightly unorthodox anywhere he plays tennis. so potentially, it was a very tricky match, but with andy murray commies got a mini
6:36 pm
options at his disposal, so many layers to his game. i think he looks ina good layers to his game. i think he looks in a good mood, when you seem out and about away from the court, he seems very relaxed. he seems to be coping with the levels of expectation you stick up with you at wimbledon. underplaying things in his interview, there, as well. he will be playing some querrey next, what will that be like? it's always dangerous when you're up against a big server, and sam querrey has won the title at queens of the past yea rs the title at queens of the past years as one grass coui’t the title at queens of the past years as one grass court titles, and of course, he is the man that had beatjohn scratchy of course, he is the man that had beat john scratchy novak of course, he is the man that had beatjohn scratchy novak djokovic last year. he has troubled andy in the past. but andy is such a great return that would see gets that serve, is that if bit like when he played ramage in the finals last year, he can nullify those big servers also —— tony played raonic. it's going to be easy, don't
6:37 pm
underestimate him, should be a good match and i would predict that andy will come through. the other britain versus france match—up today was on number one court where joanna konta was making herfirst appearance in the second week of wimbledon. her opponent was caroline garcia — and while it was far from easy, the briton came through in three sets asjoe lynskey reports. with every match, johanna konta brea ks with every match, johanna konta breaks new ground. in week two, going for the last eight. now britain has been there in three decades. but as the tournament intensifies, her opponents get better. caroline garcia, tipped for the very top. but kaunda has earned her own place amongst the elite. a break in the first game, early authority. commentator: she is playing with confidence. garcia came back to force a tie—break, but conte knows how to disrupt momentum. ——
6:38 pm
konta knows how to disrupt momentum. garcia has power on court, installed by her father. that has brought her grandson pedigree, she struck back. —— grand slam pedigree. a three—hour epic sober past don beckett, she knows how to hold her now. at 4—4, tension. no break points in the whole set. but the briton was about an opportunity. commentator: johanna konta, wimbledon quarterfinals! the first since anotherjoe. all those yea rs first since anotherjoe. all those years ago. that's pretty special. it's these positions on the situation is, that i dream of, that
6:39 pm
i dreamt of when i was a little girl, to be part of these battles. through expectation and adversity konta has filed a way to keep winning. she is nowjust two wins from the final. a tough match their furtherjohanna konta. from the final. a tough match their further johanna konta. what from the final. a tough match their furtherjohanna konta. what you think the main difference is been? she only one one match at wimbledon before. what is the difference?” think there's a lot of confidence and a lot of match went out on the tour. she is a comfort the different competitor to what we're seeing here in the parcels she the world number seven now. you in the parcels she the world number seven now. you have in the parcels she the world number seven now. you have been in grand slam semifinals in the past in this trailer, and she has one two very big titles this year in sydney and miami, and imagine she has had —— the matter she has had, she has not shot a lot of really good victories. when you watch now, she's so mentally tough, no knows we keep talking about it, but she comes out on the court and it is like she just
6:40 pm
flips a switch. of all the players i have watched, through the course of wimbledon, i haven't watched every single female player because sometimes you need to commentary, but i think you think ray tennis. aggressive tennis, quite formulaic, she is serving really well, and she has come through two out of four matches in very tight circumstances. everyone remembers that of their kitsch match and now the one today. and there's so much pressure on her shoulders but she seems to be able to focus, get your head down and get thejob done. so to focus, get your head down and get the job done. so she will be very tough to beat. she's going to have tough to beat. she's going to have to be at very best in the next match. she will take on the number two seed, simona halep, she came through against victoria as a rancour today. you watched the number two seed, simona halep, she came through against victoria as a rancour today. you watched her much, what you think, what the prospect will that be for konta? halep is a wonderful ball striker, she has wonderful ball striker, she has wonderful timing of them from the back of the court and is a beautiful mover as well. she's like dunphy,
6:41 pm
dances around the bomber, and though she didn't get off to a great start today, when she got motoring, she really thundered through the second set. she did get a little nervous closing it out but to get the job done. they have had some interesting battles in the past. she has beaten halep, but then she lost to the last time they met. everyone remembers that very feisty thai work —— tie, where italy nastase was a bit approval. halep has beaten her recently, but at wimbledon, with the support of the crowd, i think you're ona support of the crowd, i think you're on a konta be there to do the upset. it has been spectacular therefrom konta, you have to go back 33 years to find the last time a british woman reached the last round of the singles here wimbledon. it was in 1984, frankie goes to hollywood were number one, andjo 1984, frankie goes to hollywood were number one, and jo durie beat a 15—year—old steffi graf. but she did
6:42 pm
when the mixed doubles three years later. a title for her venture. konta will be on first thing special, we help, this year. she has gone through, like some of the big names, today we have seen some shocks in the woman's. no bigger than the top seed, angelique kerber, beaten by garbine muguruza, was that a big surprise? it wasn't a big surprise, i think it wasn't a surprise, i think it wasn't a surprise for the a lot of the commentators ebb and following her matches. her form wasn't where it was at last year, when she got to the finals here. she looked like she was playing tennis under this enormous, dark cloud of doom. she wasn't enjoying the town is up there. she has been a bit burden by being the world one and top seed. and i think groundstrokes, even though she's a great defender, they haven't been having too much impact through the court. she did get a little bit better as the drummer was progressing but she came up against a really on fire garbine muguruza,
6:43 pm
he has you can see was striking through the court, a lot of power and aggression, and i have to say, when muguruza won that match, have never experienced a standing ovation quite like it. i think she is connected with the public ear. they remember when she was in the finals a couple of years ago, they really like her, and she had a lot of support out there. and again, she is someone who is kind of going under the radar little bit. so maybe she is also someone to watch out for in these championships. and you mentioned the burden of the world number one spot for angelique kerber. it is likely to be with increased. here's her reaction after losing that much will stop” increased. here's her reaction after losing that much will stop i know the feeling already to being the numberone, i know the feeling already to being the number one, i know the feeling to being numbertwo or number one, i know the feeling to being number two or in the top ten, so being number two or in the top ten, soi being number two or in the top ten, so i think for me, now, i get so many experienced being the number one and now i know how it is important again. and it is for me to taking time for myself, practising good, and just going out and playing
6:44 pm
good, and just going out and playing good tennis. well, we're going to talk about venus williams now, because it is incredible what she's doing. a five—time winner here at wimbledon, she has gone through. what have you made of her suffer?” think around one, she was a little bit rusty. she hasn't played much of a warm up bit rusty. she hasn't played much of a warm up coming into these championships. but i have to say, since she has been progressing through the draw on, she is so at home, so experience. it is hard to believe she is the oldest woman in the draw at 37 years of age, but my goodness, she can still play some fabulous tennis. she's very tall, she has powerful groundstrokes, incredible reach, effortless movement around the court. i think she's playing some of her best tennis into thousands and team. in her mind, i'm sure she's begging, why can i not add another grand slam title here. she has won it five times, i thinks she's probably my
6:45 pm
pick for the title, actually. we will see. thank you forjoining us. we are going to take her attention back to the men's. we will start with nadal, having a hard time against gilles muller, the 16th seed. he has come back, though. let's ta ke seed. he has come back, though. let's take a look at how he's getting on. he has fought his way back into the match. that's how they look at our live pictures. this is called one, rafa nadal, he is 3—2 down but we know what a fighting spirit he has got. gives they keep the bullet out the back? right now, he's break point down, so a pretty minor mental... no, sorry, he wasn't, but i think a little bit earlier he was. but he has just
6:46 pm
levelled the score line, hasn't he? but he has actually taken a long time to wrestle back some control in this match. i mean, gilles muller was probably is not mere drop because he is a player who has won two mac titles this year, 34 years of age, left—hander, nightmare reserve to return, and of course, being a left—hander can sell, its not all was easy to play against a left—hander. as your mother —— and as your mother is hard to get over them again. but it's hard to roll them again. but it's hard to roll the dice. were going to go to live pictures on centre court. a tight first set, there's been a lot more should straightforward for federal gun battle on. he is currently 4—4 but does have a break point to go up in the decider. roger federer, also another player rolling back the yea rs. another player rolling back the years. the thing he can win another title here, and eighth title?”
6:47 pm
think he can force of his highly motivated. he missed out the entire clay—court season purely to concentrate focus on his preparation huw edwards bottom. i don't think that make you at wimbledon. i don't think it well has been quite what he has been before. he has played six events this year, has won four of them, but so far wimbledon, head of them, but so far wimbledon, head of the gears completely been firing on all is and it —— and also wonders. unusually, he omitted to feeling there is an pressure, its initial room to talk about that, but he certainly seemed to be in control of this match and i think you can draw on so much experience as much love of this place, and he has so much support you, so many would love to see and do it at the age of 35. so not going to be easy to unseat him. he has the opportunity to serve out for the magistrates act victory against dimitrov, it would be a good one. thank very much. we will stay with wimbledon for a moment, because they have been a
6:48 pm
number of talking points at the sheehs number of talking points at the sheer‘s championships. the biggest being the number of players pulling out of matches due to injury, loss of the condition of some of the courts, which has led to criticism from several players. richard lewis is the chief executive at the all—england club — he told our reporterjoe wilson that he's not overly concerned. ididn't i didn't see anything that concern me at all. i had the privilege to see the courts and what one the courts, think they're as good as they have ever been. many have told they have ever been. many have told the nurse good as they ever been. i respect that some players have expressed concerns, but they are in the heat of battle, and sometimes players have their views. so how do we play tennis like this? in my point of view, than watching the tennis as much as i can, they haven't seen anything that has raised myra, not at all. you make the conditions in all certain ways, as good as they can be, but do think that maybe sometimes players need to
6:49 pm
bea that maybe sometimes players need to be a bit more resilience against conditions? i respect the players use, but the service, is a natural surface. it changes from one year to the next, changes from the start in the next, changes from the start in the end of the four night. that something we celebrate. 0ne the end of the four night. that something we celebrate. one of many challenges at wimbledon for the players as the changing conditions. and the players, by and large, respect that. 0ccasionally they will get first—rate, but i think the players have a right to express their view. but one of the features of wimbledon is the natural surface. ladies and gentlemen, due to injury... commentator: djokovic moved on and so does better. we have to look at how we will go about doing things furniture. clearly, the prize—money is very
6:50 pm
significant for first—round players, but in the end, it is about integrity. yet asked the players to be honest and tell of their injured and yes, maybe we can come up with a formula where it compensates them formula where it compensates them for being honest. i don't think any of the players enjoyed the first tuesday, adding that the public debt or the broadcasters, so we will look at what be improved. sometimes you try to improve things make things worse rather than better, so we will carefully. well, away from the tennis here at wimbledon we've been hearing from wayne rooney. he's been speaking to the media following his move back to everton from manchester united. he only started 15 league games last season but believes with a fresh start he can force his way back into the england fold. i was play like i've got a point to prove. i'm not coming into a retirement home. i'm ready to play, wa nt to retirement home. i'm ready to play, want to win, you want to be successful at this football club and
6:51 pm
thatis successful at this football club and that is what i will do. i feel good. i feel, not fit at the minute, but that will build up in the next few weeks. and i'm excited. ithink that will build up in the next few weeks. and i'm excited. i think it isa weeks. and i'm excited. i think it is a challenge which i think is the right time, this point in my career. i'm ready for it. i'm focused on everton, doing well for everton. if ido everton, doing well for everton. if i do that, then there will be a decision to make about the england squad, whether he calls the back onto the england squad are not. from the lu ka ku from the lukaku has been confirmed asa from the lukaku has been confirmed as a manchester united player. today is a rest day at the tour de france — that's probably exactly what the riders need after a bhrutal first eight days of the race. yesterday saw the exit of one of chris froome's main rivals, the australian richie porte who was seriously injured
6:52 pm
after a heavy crash. froome's team—mate geraint thomas was another casualty yesterday and was forced to retire with a broken collarbone when lying second overall. froome leads italian fabio aru by 18 seconds — but the briton admits the loss of thomas is a blow. even without geraint yesterday, the crash further early on, the team is extremely capable. knee—high alleys three players in one. “— knee—high alleys three players in one. —— mikhail is three players and one. —— mikhail is three players and one. and here in the tour, sundance, and we'll be riding for him to stop he is so strong at the moment. i think is so strong at the moment. i think is doing a message for the team and the rest of my team—mates, everyone has upped their game and risen to the occasion of developing special
6:53 pm
defending the yellowjersey. the occasion of developing special defending the yellow jersey. your domain rivals? i have to go by standings, and say, fabio is my closest rival and the guy only to follow most closely over the next week. so might the boys are still super strong. they are all mentally as much as physically, it real good grip and they will pull together now. and i have confidence they will be able to do the job for froome. and i will watch, i will be watching. i will certainly watch the big days, that is for sure. and i hope the boys can do is hope. formula 1 returns to silverstone this weekend — for british grand prix. but even before the likes of lewis hamilton take to the track, the battle to keep the iconic grand prix at the northamptonshire circuit is already under way. the row is all about the escalating amount of money
