and technically i'm not a top player, i do have the wins of one. well only one player matches serena's stature, roger federer, who sometimes just tries things to keep it interesting. 36 and finding new tricks. jan—lennard struff was brushed off today, in just one hour and 3a minutes. and talking of time, well, there's a match going on on court 1a which seems almost endless. british doubles pair cameron norrie and jay clarke won 20 games of their final set. the trouble was their opponents won 22. what a way to spend a hot afternoon. joe wilson, bbc news, wimbledon. here on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday —

i'm olly foster live in mosxow, these are our world cup headlines. a thunderbolt from de bruyne knocks brazil out of the world cup, as they reach their first semi—final since 1986. it's the neighbours next for belgium — that's after france knock urguay out, with a little help from the south american keeper. and i'm chris mitchell live at the bbc sport centre. where we have a swiss roll. roger federer is too good. he makes the last 16 at wimbledon. but venus williams is out as more seeds fall. will come along to a balmy night

here in moscow. we've had the first two quarterfinals in a world cup of shocks, but brazil dropping out. the five—time champion, not such a shock when you consider who they were playing and the fact that neymar and all of his powers just have not been playing particularly well here in russia. getting better, but belgium when they get their act together, when they get their act together, when they get their act together, when they click, as they did in kazan, they are world beaters and they have set up that semifinal against france in saint petersburg next week. adam wilde was watching the fall of the brazilian. when braziltravel the brazilian. when braziltravel

the world they rarely go unnoticed, bringing with them to tradition, the history and a team of mobile stars. but this is a belgium side that has long threatened the world. they bring their own menace. kevin de bruyne going wide. this time. with such a check —— attacking brilliance ojo chances were perhaps the only thing guaranteed. thiago silva agonisingly close. still the opening goal when it came was a surprise, at least in the manner in which it arrived. fernandinho from brazil who wielded an own goal, a gift. and with that gratefully received now came the moment for belgium to be their brilliant best. lukaku unplayable, de bruyne, this time unstoppable. the golden generation finally flourishing. but with a second—half came the second brazilian wave, gabrielle broke down in the box. no penalty. but as that sense of injustice burned brazil simply found a different, more direct route. a gusto with a header,

bringing some hope. but i hope that they did with every nearest gas missed opportunity, and there were plenty. so, brazil fall, missed opportunity, and there were plenty. so, brazilfall, their torment over. a belgium beginning to finally deliver on their promise. adam wilde, bbc news. for the first time there'll be four european sides in the semi finals of the world cup, beacuse earlier today france impressively eased past uruguay 2—nil. we will get a european winner. let's look at the other match with our earlier today. france simply too good for uruguay. drew savage reports. a first world cup semifinal for 12 yea rs. a first world cup semifinal for 12 years. i did that friends will remember in a day for uruguayans to try to forget. missing one of their star strikers they concentrated on defence, which worked for a0 minutes. until real madrid's raphael varane struck a glancing blow for france. without the injured edinson cavani, uruguay‘s main threat

came from set pieces — but they found an inspired hugo lloris in their way. the french didn't really hit top gear, but then they didn't need to. afterjust over an hour, the game was as good as won. fernando muslera has played for uruguay over 100 times, but unfortunately, this is what he's most likely to be remembered for. both sides could hardly believe their luck. a cruel end to uruguay‘s tournament. didier deschamps and his team are looking hard to stop. so, france, belgium, next week in saint petersburg. what a semifinal that will be. what is the other one was not all will be revealed tomorrow. obviously england in action against sweden in samarra. gareth southgate's team has arrived and they had a wander around that futuristic looking stadium down there. that is a part of the —— that

is the heart of speight —— the state capital of russia. gareth southgate so capital of russia. gareth southgate so impressive. there he is with harry kane, harry kane leading the race for the golden boot on six goals, another against colombia than that penalty shoot out. what does gareth southgate make of all this optimism and goodwill behind his team? we came into this appointment as the least experienced team —— into this tournament. we are the one of the youngest teens in it, but we said we are an improving side who want to make our own history, and we have already in ourfirst make our own history, and we have already in our first knockout win in ten years, first win in a penalty shoot out at the world cup for england, highest number of goals scored in an individual game. so, we wa nt to scored in an individual game. so, we want to keep making that history. cannot wait for that match and you will be able to follow it across the bbc. of course, and after that is

russia, the host against croatia. we will not write the russians ought ever again, because they have surprised us at every turn here at the world cup. —— we will not write the world cup. —— we will not write the russians out ever again. let's head back to chris mitchell at the bbc sportscenter. so much going on over the next few days. at wimbledon the top seeds continue to struggle. in the men's draw only five of the top ten are still in. only two are left in the women's. venus williams became the latest to exit the competition before the fourth round. no such problems for her sister serena however, who turned up the heat on kristina mladenovic. austin halewood reports: under clear blue skies at the world ina under clear blue skies at the world in a storm was brewing on court one. in 30 degrees heat venus williams was caught cold by kiki bertens, first game first break. and the world over 20 continued to pile on the pressure. kiki bertens more than a match for everything venus could throw at her as she took the first

set. the american looking for a nswe i’s. set. the american looking for answers. in the second, she found some, forcing a tie—break venus was too good, back to her dominant best. but into a decider, kiki bertens would not go away. the dutch player dominating from the baseline. and after almost three hours on court, she sealed it, herfirst after almost three hours on court, she sealed it, her first win over a top ten player on grass, bringing an end to venus‘s 20th wimbledon. top ten player on grass, bringing an end to venus's 20th wimbledonlj played end to venus's 20th wimbledon.” played her in miami, had a few match point there so of course there was going into my mind sometimes but i was like 0k, keep on going for it. you are in wimbledon and the third round, never reached for the round so round, never reached for the round so you have nothing to lose and go for your shot. at the same time on centre court serena williams was broken early by christina noted —— mladenovic of france. for a moment another of that was on the cards, just for a moment. the american powering her way back into the match and with it taking the first set. serena had not lost at wimbledon

since 2014, and although taken to a tie—break that record never looked seriously under threat. her serve backfiring and her game almost back to its best. 10th seed madison keys — the us open finalist — was beaten in three sets by the world number 120 yevgena rodina. over in the men's draw it was plain sailing again for roger federer — at least he made it look that way. the number one was too good for germany's jan—lennard struff, winning in straight sets. federer hasn't droppd a set in his three matches so far — remember he went through the whole of last years winning run without dropping a set. there was a great comeback from gael monfils against sam querry. he was a set down and he'd called for a medical time—out. but what a recovery! he came back to win three sets in a row and book his place in the fourth round. england's cricketers have levelled their t20 series with india. eoin morgan's side won by 5 wickets in cardiif to set up a decider in bristol on sunday.

england won the toss and chose to field and took three quick wickets to put india on the back foot, chasing down 149 to win. england lost three early wickets themselves but alex hales smashed a quick 50 to guide england to the brink of victory. david willey hit the winning runs. hales ended 58 not out. lewis hamilton says he expects a "serious fight" with ferrari at the british grand prix this weekend. mercedes were expected to lead the way at silverstone but ferrari's sebastian vettel was quickest in second practice. the german — who is just one point ahead of hamilton in the drivers standings — finished just ahead of hamilton in the second session. earlier hamilton set the overall fastest time of the day in first practice. in cycling, chris froome faced a mixed reception as he greeted spectators ahead of the tour de france which begins tomorrow. the four—time winner and favourite to win this year's edition will be on the start line after his anti—doping case

was dropped by cycling's governing body, the uci last week. he said he didn't expect everyone to like him, but he urged the fans to enjoy the race. you're coming to a sporting event. it is there enough if you don't support team sky, but put the jersey on of someone who you do support. stand there and do something positive at the race. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more sport throughout the weekend. hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the columnist for the daily mirror, susie boniface, and the brexit editor for the daily telegraph, asa bennett. welcome to both of you. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. one story dominates — theresa may's announcement that her cabinet has reached a "collective" agreement on the basis of the uk's future relationship with the eu after brexit. lets start with the times which leads with theresa may promising senior allies she will sack foreign secretary borisjohnson if he undermines the brexit deal. the financial times highlights the five cabinet ministers including borisjohnson meeting on thursday night to plan a counter—attack to preserve a clean departure. cabinet signs up to may's brexit says the telegraph — as her 16 ministers agree the plan to keep close ties with eu after a day locked away at chequers. the mail leads with theresa may's warning that

settling for a soft brexit could cost the conservatives the next election. and the mirror lead with england captain harry kane's band of brothers as the national team prepare for their crunch clash against sweden in the quarter finals of the world cup. that is a flavour of what they're saying. a lot of brexit and a lot of football, in the next 12—13 minutes. brexit first, your paper first comic cabin fines brexit first, your paper first comic cabinfines up brexit first, your paper first comic cabin fines up to make's deal. -- cabinet signs up. marvellous away day for cabinet. a place they know well, summer that does not have any air conditioning so they have been quite literally sweating over this deal innocence. it has come out, something that's been almost defined you could say by theresa may at downing street because ministers have had their phones taken off of them so they had not really been able to give us their private thoughts and innocents is what

downing street's lined that yes, a deal has been done and we have agreed so much. for example, they can say with a straight —— stay with a straight face they aren't sticking to the red lines, instead they are leaving the customs union and they are wanting to build a free trade area for goods. the same thing. are wanting to build a free trade area for goods. the same thingm like saying we no longer have deck chairs on the titanic, we don't have a chairon the chairs on the titanic, we don't have a chair on the deck as it is. but you get your red line on deck chairs. there are no deck chairs, just chairs over here on the deck where use it now. it is interesting because what has happened, lots of detail and we could lose ourselves talking about dementia, the broad brush strokes of what has happened here is that theresa may, they have been having these away days for two years, and have not had any kind of agreement whatsoever. and after two years she has finally called their bluff and said this is what we have to do. if we are not going to destroy the british economy with brexit so you have to sign up to it

or resign and there they are in chequers with a two mile walk back to the gate where laura is waiting for them, they had to leave their ministerial call her at the door they want to resign and walk up there and talked to laura and explain why, or they can sign up to this and their phones have been taken this and their phones have been ta ken away and this and their phones have been taken away and this statement comes out of numberten taken away and this statement comes out of number ten at seven o'clock in the evening when they are still having their beef shin and marmalade red and better putting. —— marmalade bread and butter pudding. the guy minister has railroaded the brexiteers effectively, manage them very well professionally for theresa may. but she has guaranteed by putting a statement out at seven o'clock, she's guaranteed the headlines for tomorrow are theresa may has one, and if borisjohnson is effectively in a position where tomorrow morning whenever you get his phone back, probably about now, that it his phone back, probably about now, thatitis his phone back, probably about now, that it is too late for him to do anything in for another 24 hours and then he will look really bad. did you both since this was going to be different somehow
