set 6—3. of stevens power waned and she begun to the jaded, halep looked better, and she took the second set 6-a. the better, and she took the second set 6—a. the world number one had beaten stevens both times they played on great, the momentum was not with her and she won the first five games of the third set to take control of what was a thrilling contest. soon, she found herself serving for the match. her comeback was complete, not just against stevens match. her comeback was complete, notjust against stevens but match. her comeback was complete, not just against stevens but also after the disappointment of last yea rs after the disappointment of last years final. simona halep can now call herself a grand slam champion. it's really was an absolutely fascinating final between the two and it is now halep who eventually has won her first grand slam. russell fuller is here for us and put that victory into context. there is no obvious sign that we're about to witness a dramatic change of momentum this final, sloan stevens had played a first set of staggering quality bed by two games in the

second set when suddenly everything changed. halep started to serve more consistently and slowly and surely worked her way back into the match. it was still very tight and very edgyin it was still very tight and very edgy in the second set but by the time halep one she was able to develop an unstoppable head of stea m. develop an unstoppable head of steam. her victory is more remarkable because she has come so close to winning grand slam titles before, and the way she handled that bitter disappointment has certainly endeared her to tennis fans and sports fans all around the world. she says it was so special to win in asa she says it was so special to win in as a special place in her special court. she's a grand slam champion at last and has admitted to chris who also lost her first three grand slam finals before tramping herein powers in 197a. tomorrow, rafael nadal will him to extend his victory to 11. nadalfaces nadal will him to extend his victory to 11. nadal faces the sea from austria, dominic thiem who is the only player to be nadal on play both last year and this one. my feeling

is tomorrow on sunday i have a very difficult match against a player thatis difficult match against a player that is playing great and i know i have to pay my best if i want to have to pay my best if i want to have chances, the good thing is i played a lot of good matches consistently so sunday is the day to give my best, it's the day to increase and open up more levels and i hope to be able to do it. more to come on the programme including tyson fury which returns to the ring after a two and a half year absence, we will be live at the arena ahead of his comeback fight later tonight. and king kenny had ——. it's a great honour to have this. and it's a great honour to everyone who has made a contribution. cricket and england have been beaten
