his chapter. play roger federer here and you face the thousands who adored him a. at 35 he is still at his peak. in the opening exchanges, federer has the opening exchanges, federer has the power to break through. commentator: ripped across court. the power to break through. commentator: ripped across courtm was a lot to take for marin cilic and already feeling the strain. in his first wimbledon final, it became too much to bear with the weight of expectation back home, cilic was facing a torrent. you want the ground to open up and swallow you. but great champions have no time for sympathy. federer ruthless in the

second. cilic put up more of a fight in the third but already this looked inevitable. the perfect title sealed without dropping a set. what a player. what a champion here at wimbledon. it was now his time to show emotions. king of the court, and hate title means to him as much as the first. i did not think i would be this successful. i hoped to have a chance of maybe one day to be ina have a chance of maybe one day to be in a wimbledon final and have a chance to win the tournament so winning eight is not something you can everaim foran winning eight is not something you can ever aim for an if you do, i don't know, you must have so much

talent in parents and coaches who push you and think of it like a project that i was not that kid. i was a normal guy growing up in basil and hoping to make a career on the tennis tour and i guess i dreamt, i believed and really hoped that maybe i could actually really do it, to make it real. from one record breaker to another. britain's lewis hamilton powered to a dominant victory at silverstone to tie the all—time record of five career wins at the british grand prix. the mercedes man led from start to finish as he closed the gap on championship leader, sebastian vettel, to just one point. patrick gearey was at silverstone for us. silverstone 50 years ago. a scotsman in a lotus ford won the british grand prix for the fifth time. jim clark surrounded by wonder and flowers. now anyone who comes here can experience every curve, every straight, every tyre. but only one could really feel how clark felt. lewis hamilton certainly started with the same view.
1:49 am
everyone behind him. but watch the rear—view mirror. kimi raikkonen tried to overtake, but not so fast. off hamilton went. more to keep an eye on further back. sebastian vettel, leader in the standings, had been caught by max verstappen, but charged back at him full of adrenaline. fi does dodgems. he wants to play bumper cars or something. vettel eventually passed him but hamilton was over the horizon. kimi raikkonen was beaten by valtteri bottas for second and vettel‘s championship lead was about to dramatically deflate. he went from third to seventh. lewis hamilton could hardly have had a better day. it feels amazing to be up here. i am so proud to see his flags everywhere. we support this weekend has been immense and i am really proud that i can do this for you all. thank you so much of this support. pushing us. the team did exceptionally well this weekend. it is the perfect weekend for us. these fans have just seen history. lewis hamilton's fifth british grand prix win, his fourth in a row,
1:50 am
and what's more, that title race is definitely on. only one point stands between hamilton and vettel now. sebastien, beware, he is catching you. patrick gearey, bbc news, silverstone. to golf now and park sung—hyun of south korea has won the us women's open at trump national to pick up her first lpga title in her debut season. the 23—year—old carded a final—round five—under—par 67 to finish on 11 under in newjersey. she beat her compatriot, 17—year—old amateur choi hye—jin by two shots. a south korean has won the us open seven times in the past 10 years. spaniard rafa cabrera—bello birdied the first play—off hole to deny callum shinkwin and capture the scottish open. carded an eight—under course record 64 to finish the regulation 72 holes in 13 under. cabrera—bello needed a brilliant final round to put himself in contention — he duly obliged with eight birdies including this one on the 12th as well as no bogeys.
1:51 am
but for most of the day it seemed england's callum shinkwin was on course for victory. in fact, the world number 405 needed only a par 5 at the final hole to take the trophy and double his career earnings. he missed the putt to send the competition to a play off. cabrera—bello then put himself in the driving seat with a sensational fairway wood onto the green at the first play—off hole. two putts from there proved sufficient with shinkwin unable to prolong the play off. cabrera bello showing all his experience to win his first event since the 2012 dubai desert classic. onto cricket. and it's pretty much mission impossible for england after day 3 of the second test against south africa the proteas declared on 3113 for 9 at trent bridge,
1:52 am
setting england a gargantuan a74 to win. if you're being an optimist, the hosts will have 2 days to chase down what would be the highest 11th innings total to win a test by any side in history. so south africa very much on course to level the series at1 a piece. let's listen to england's moeen ali now on the prospect of his side's record chase. we did not play very well at all but we have the opportunity in the next two days and see what we can do. what will be the mindset? is going to be occupation at the crease? we just play as we know we can play. james and alistair cook to important players, gary ballance as well. just go back, and reassess the game.

peak of the group game, germany versus sweden. and in the night's other game denmark were 1—nil winners over belgium. sanne troelsgaard with a goal in just the 6th minute. so no huge surprises on how the table looks. jamaica have gone top of their concacaf gold cup group after drawing 1—1 with el salvador. a goal for portland forward darren mattocks in the 64th minute giving his side a share of the spoils. meanwhile mexico are in action against bottom side curacao later. a win for el tri and they would leapfrog the jamaicans to the top of the group. we are into the final week of the tour de france — and britain's chris froome has retained the yellow jersey after stage 15. sunday's190—kilometre mountain stage — was won by trek sega—fredo's flying dutchman — baoke molema. the italian diego ulissi was second. froome suffered a mechanical problem and lost 50 seconds but recovered in the first climb and ended the day 18 seconds clear of another italian, fabio aru. that is all your sport now. for me

a brighter note. sunshine around on monday. a bit more cloud for northern and western scotland. that retreats to the northern isles. showers here through the day. elsewhere, dry weather and plenty of sunshine. some high cloud could turn the sunshine a bit hazy in southern england and south wales. but those temperatures could get to 26—27. across northern wales, northern ireland. lots of sunshine. highs of 24. similar temperatures in eastern scotland. always cooler, cloudier, quite blustery across the far north of scotland. the odd shower in the northern isles. during monday night and the early hours of tuesday, high pressure in charge across the country keeping things quiet. there could be the odd fog patch here and there. it starts to turning a bit muggy in southern areas. that is a sign of what is to come. tuesday, south—easterly winds drawing warm air from the midcontinent.

and with this weather front here, the increasing risk of some thunderstorms late in the day. fine with sunshine during the day. turning hazy in england and wales. and then later on, the first sign we see some of those thunderstorms rolling into the south—west. but quite a lot of warmth and heat on tuesday. 27 in northern scotland. perhaps further south, hitting 29—30. now, during tuesday night, storms becoming more widespread. gusty winds as well. downpours going north. further thunderstorms breaking out through the day in england and wales. beginning to turn more fresh from the west. still heat and humidity across east anglia and the south—east. but as those storms clear away, all of us will take cooler and fresher weather for the end of the week with a little bit of rain at times.
