success in the dugout, leading st pauli to promotion to germany's top division last season. my age is a big topic. i know that, and i always say that i'm a young man but i'm not a young coach. so i was able to gain a lot of experience in different areas. of course i don't have experience in the premier league. i think there's always a start. it's been another packed day on and off the court at wimbledon on tuesday. novak djokovic put injury concerns to one side to stay on track to equalling the great roger federer�*s record of eight wimbledon titles. andy murray won't be competing in the singles though. plus, a huge shock to tell you about involving the defending women's champion. chetan pathak has more. it's been another catch your breath day at the all england club. starting with the news that andy murray, two—time wimbledon champion, has seemingly played his final

hello there. we had a lot of cloud during tuesday and again the weather quite disappointing, not too much will change the rest of the week. westerly breeze could well strengthen. it will bring some rain at times and keep it cool for this time of year. what has changed from a couple of weeks ago when temperatures were 30 degrees? the position of thejetstream is much further south and we are in the cooler side of the jet hahence lower temperatures and with the jet going over the uk it picks up areas of low pressure and these weather fronts and steers them our way. wet weather on tuesday night will clear away quickly in the morning, leaving cloudy conditions, patchy rain and drizzle here and there, quite misty and murky for a in wales and the southwest but after the rain clears we get sunshine in northern ireland, sunshine and showers in scotland and late sunshine after the rain in wales
2:57 am
and western parts of england. the temperatures though not really changing very much at all from what we had on tuesday afternoon. as we move into thursday, we will find the weather fronts are out of the way but low pressure to the north of the uk, feeding on those caller winds, stronger winds actually, for thursday. the strongest of them in northern england, northern ireland and scotland where we will see frequent showers particularly in scotland, maybe banned as well. further south, but a chance of staying dry with welcome sunshine as well this time, the temperatures may be a degree or two higher on thursday. but still rather cool. we will have another area of low pressure moving in for friday, moving quickly from the atlantic and will bring cloud and rain into england and wales. the winds are likely to strengthen in southern england and through the english channel and winds will be lighter further in scotland and northern ireland where there will be some sunshine but still a few showers around as well. those temperatures
2:58 am
still typically 15—19 degrees to end the week. let's head into the weekend. anything better? well, low pressure is essentially going to be with us, that weather front will take drain away from the southeast of england first thing in the morning and following on from that there may be some sunshine but we're going to these clusters of showers affecting in northern england, northern ireland, perhaps into scotland as well, further south somewhat drier and some sunshine that averages are going to reach 19 degrees and 16 covers most of scotland. the area is moving away slowly, west or north—westerly breeze on sunday and that's essentially keeping us in this cooler air stream. there will be some sunshine around, where the sun is out this time of year, it feels warm but the cloud will increase, more showers will develop, very few places perhaps staying dry. some of the showers will be heavy and those averages averages 16—20 degrees. let's have a look further ahead. you need to look at the position of the jetstream because for the outlook
2:59 am
we will find this jetstream digging down into this position to the south and west of the uk. in the dip of the jetstream or trough as we call it that you see areas of low pressure developing and because the trough is sharper, these areas of low pressure are deeper but tracking more to the north of the uk rather than right their way across the uk. still very unsettled as we head into early next week, most of the rain will be out towards the west with have stronger winds, best of the sunshine and somewhat drier weather in the east. looks like it should be a little bit warmer.
