you said you thought she was feeling the pressure of centre court.the finals and losing last year to serena williams. but she's not coming into the event with a lot of match wins or confidence. many players feel they can possibly beat her. having said that her opponent today, quite lowly ranked, she gave everyone an absolute thrill. just that mix of spins and paste, she played a lot of sliced balls, did a lot of different things. she was very creative and the crowd really enjoyed it. so even though the scoreline look straightforward, it was actually a tricky match and she gave her a good run for money. i felt there was a feeling of a burden of expectation from angelique kerber. she was walking around slowly in between points and did not look like someone carrying herself as the top seed, the world number one, someone enjoying being out there. it felt a little bit today. you are saying a few women out there feel they could perhaps knock her out. who is your pick. it is so wide open as it was french open as well. then we had this unknown bursting throu

let's go back to centre court.. it would be a fantastic performance. she had only won one match previously at wimbledon before this year. she is going very, very strong indeed. she has lost the first point in that game but she has a very good serve. still confident of making it through. it would be a fantastic result for her against the second seed, simona halep. as we can see, johanna konta making it 15—15. a big chair behind me as well. —— cheer. we are going to stay with the pictures for the moment to caf konta's serve can respond, to see if she can make it through. it would be a fantastic result. it is the first year, of course, she has ever reached the second week at wimbledon. she had a very good build—up campaign. she is seeded number six. she reached the final at nottingham before an injury at eastbourne meant her campaign was derailed at the semifinal stage. she has done thing very well on grass this year. she probably prefers the ha rd this year. she probably prefers the hard courts. another big chair beh

a huge occasion on centre court. she is going well, she broke victoria azarenka, who is making her comeback from having a baby in december. she has only played four matches since giving birth. that was the break point, azarenka going past baseline, giving heather watson the advantage in the first set on centre court. let's dip into live pictures to see how she is getting on. she is 4-2 to see how she is getting on. she is 4—2 up. victoria azarenka, 30—0 up on the heather watson serve. hopefully, heather watson can hold her nerve, keepers in it and get the first set under her belt in the next few minutes or so. before she was on court, we had a brick in action starting at 11:30 on court two, the british number four, aljaz starting at 11:30 on court two, the british numberfour, aljaz bedene, hoping to get into the fourth round for the first time. she has had epic battles to get to the stage. a big

temperatures reached a0 celsius on centre court. aying up there was a really good experience for me. a lot of players would say is the most famous or biggest court in tennis. being british, growing up watching tennis and wimbledon, to actually get the chance to play out there was something you will always remember. it was a straightforward for the tournament favourite, third seed roger federer. the swiss is looking for a record eighth title and he beat serbia's dusan lajovic in straight sets on centre court. he will play the world number 30 next. three time champion novak djokovic eased through his second round match. he beat the world number 136 from the czech republic adam pavlasek in around an hour and a half and was rarely troubled — 6-2, 6-2, 6-1. however, there was an upset in the women's draw, as the third seed, karolina pliskova of the czech republic was knocked out. she won the title at eastbourne in the build up to the tournament but was beaten by magdalena rybarikova. a tight match went to a deciding set, but it was the sl

centre court was royally entertained.ak in the first set, i felt the momentum was with me. i saw the shots he was great to play a little bit quicker, and that allowed me to get to some of the drop volleys but also come up with some good passing shots, and i played well. andy murray strait of court there talking to that reporter, and we have got somebody straight off the court as well william smith. he dashed over from andy murray's box as well. —— lee smith. what did you make of that performance? -- lion —— lion smith. -- lion smith. brown's tennis did not materialise, not anxious about how to adjust his game, and it was a co mforta ble how to adjust his game, and it was a comfortable win for andy murray. what can you tell is about andy murray's hep? i am watching the same as everyone else and seeing a guy sprinting, changing direction. —— andy murray's hip. the number of drop shots that is dustin brown it is today, there was no issue. that is today, there was no issue. that is how he walks anyway, don't worry about his w

centre court was royally entertained.t the break in the first set, i felt the momentum was with me. i saw the shots he was going to play a little bit quicker, and that allowed me to get to some of the drop volleys but also come up with some good passing shots, and i played well. so an easy day for andy murray. not so johanna konta. she needed three sets and more than three hours to overcome croatia's donna vekic. joe lynskey was watching this one. her rise through the rankings has put konta to centre. for brits at wimbledon, prominence brings pressure. the last ladies home champion was a0 years ago, but konta's path to round 3 would not be straightforward. donna vekic beat her on grass just weeks ago in nottingham. she is only 21, but she has the skills to be a superpower. konta was having to fight for early parity. a large battle of wills going on out there between two very determined athletes. a first set tie—break felt critical. konta found a way to seize the advantage. but the brit had the same winning possession when

centre court as i was know where to look. centre court as iwasa know where to look.urt 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 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 play

if spectators felt shortchanged on day two centre court, they got their money's worth on wednesday whenefending champion andy murray came up defending champion andy murray came up against unpredictable dustin brown and in a flash of drop shots, volleys a nd brown and in a flash of drop shots, volleys and lobs the german didn't disappoint. but the world number one then took control, taking the first set and then showing some tricks of his own. brown has upset the odds before, beating rafael nadal on centre court, but no shocks today, andy murray taking control and cruising through to the third round. once i got the break in the third set, i could see the shots he was going to play a little quicker and that allowed me to get to some of thejob that allowed me to get to some of the job volleys and come up with some passing shots. and i played well. rafael nadal hasn't made it through to the third round since he reached the final six years ago but you would not have guessed it in the way he took the first set from american donald young. playing better on grass than he has for a long time the

certainly something that is going to be looked at because it was obviously a massive problem on centre courturse every case is individual and it is up decide with the player if by going out onto court is it going to damage your body further and prohibit you from playing for the rest of the tour. but there is this enticement of this £35,000 of prize—money as the loser of the first round. after a day are likely to be remembered as one of the greatest in centre court history, today marks the anniversary of one of its most magical moments. in 1987 pat cash won what proved to be his only grand slam title and set a new trend with this celebration. only grand slam title and set a new trend with this celebrationlj only grand slam title and set a new trend with this celebration. i have become more famous for that climb. i thought to be number one in the world, to beat him andjimmy connors, i would world, to beat him andjimmy connors, iwould be world, to beat him andjimmy connors, i would be none for that. but it was that climb with my dad and sister and my trainer, it was the first real team. but tha
