hello and welcome to sportsday i'm john watson live at wimbledon. konta keeps her cool — the british number one books her place in the last 16. murray's hopes wrest with serena as he crashes out of the men's doubles. 23 grand slam champion marches on in the singles. i'm gavin ramjuan at the bbc sport centre. england are beaten by sweden — in their 3rd place playoff match, the video assistant referee again deniying them a crucial equaliser. the usa take on the netherlands in tomorrow's final — us co—captain megan rapinoe thinks she has the answer to maintaining interest in women's football.

money, money, money... and an eventuful opening stage at the tour de france for geraint thomas — he's back on his feet and ok after this crash. yes, welcome. another glorious day where we had seen. . . a huge day here with three brits in ation, two of those in the women‘ singles, one of them is through, johanna konta the british number one into the foruth round after beating sloane stephens, but harriet dart‘s tournamnet is over as she was beaten by the world number one ash barty. here's ben croucher.

on the grand scale of things, this is just another wimbledon but looking closer, take perspective, this can be so much more. konta three time grand slam semifinalist, last breath standing that she wants to win more than any other scaling heights no easy task, 2017 sloan stevens winner knows what it takes to bring it to the first set. konta did not lose her serve until now, she had not faced this barrage before, first set, stevens. well, this match needed a turning time i noticed that to game five to six jesus three break points saved, going nowhere. provide the british number one fizzing for hands to all corners of the court. picking a favourite wine, and wasn't missing. the decider was meant to be filled

with tightness and tension, and one seemed to have told her. and over two hours, she scaled the first weekend that tests will only get tougherfrom here. weekend that tests will only get tougher from here. i thinkl weekend that tests will only get tougher from here. i think i just kept plugging away at it more than anything, she was playing incredibly well and i was fully prepared to be not coming back after that second set because she was really playing well, so i'm just pleased i was able to keep at it and find a way, i think i get a good job and trying to mix it up and try tojust think i get a good job and trying to mix it up and try to just get her out of that zone because she was very much ended. what every zone is, actually will take some pricing out today, french open champion new well number one pierced the hopes of harriet died on this stage, she had

nowhere to hide, she wasn't putting up nowhere to hide, she wasn't putting up but rhonda twisting her around the court, in this tournament, she's printed into the last 15, dropping two games, very public demonstration and size of the hype she aims to climb in the coming years. let's round up some of the other stories from the women's draw. two—time champion petra kvitova booked her place in the last 16 with a straight sets win over the unseeded polish player magda linette. she'llfacejohanna konta next. we'll talk about that in a moment. as kvitova progresses, there was another big name casualty on the women's side of the draw — the fourth seed kiki bertens. she was a quarter finalist last year but bertens was beaten by 33 year old ba rbora strycova

in straight sets. feels like it's happening up in the women's draw. annabelle is with me, let's start with konta because it's the match we watch today started slowly but found her feet. selling price because of sloan stevens is playing a high level and she had her measure for a site and three quarters i would say, the match was teetering. just trying to look uncomfortable he saw her looking across the support camp gesturing to the massive she couldn't get a breakthrough, and then suddenly she died deep, found that momentum shift and when she got hold of it, the rest is history, she went on an absolute mission to the final set, andi absolute mission to the final set, and i think psychologically, sloan stevens cannot really be her, that's the fourth time she lies to her and 2090, and she hasn't found a way around topics yet. ( prayer konta because petra, such pedigree as we know here on the grass winning the

title here, that's going to be a very tough to ask for her. yes because she's a two—time champion, but she came into the championships under cooked, suffering from an arm injury and had not played lots of matches coming in and she said she had low expectations of what she can do here and having said that with three matches she has gone through, some of that form saw her when here, i started to come to fruition, and when petra is on fire she has virtually i'm not playable. exurban strikes, she is one hit wonders, but she can also spray the ball around andi she can also spray the ball around and i think my car when stresses their opponents because she gets balls back into place serves well and digs deep. she is gritty as he sucked today so it's going to be interesting to see what happens there. only talk talking to potential contenders in a moment, but let's touch on serena williams because she's going to team up soon in the next up soon in the next doubles with andy which we will watch soon.

well serena williams was in singles action — perhaps hasnt hit top stride at this tournamnet so far. but she booked her place in the fourth round with a straight but can she went back, and she's in the last 16. sets win overjulia gurges. craig templeton reports. ifi if i passed from the red arrows creating wimbledon today as serena williams continues to get up to speed. not playing many matches this season speed. not playing many matches this season but familiar power remains. but eventually i should someone with quality to highlight any restiveness. this was a different serena from the pleat —— previous round, one that can be impossible to contain. one break at the service all she needed and the opening set was hers. julia showed flashes of why she made the semi finals last year but her problem that day was the same as today, serena. much of

the same as today, serena. much of the exurban, but when rallies broke out it was williams who was the dominant voice. a force that was unrelenting and too powerful. so what should have been a difficult matches she made it look simple and the rest of the draw should take note. familiar story for serena and the singles. she can pander this year you think? i think when she's ina dry year you think? i think when she's in a dry she's a contender and when you consider that they can serve she seen, it can hold such good stead particularly on the grass quite and i think today we saw her level rises significantly from the first two rounds where it was pretty low level, little bit rusty hasn't played a lot of matches coming in, but she had the real deal today and

you started think may be she can when there is a list of 2a to try an equal that corridor is. fascinating and as we know, it could potentially face her on that side of the job, i did think the champion will be from that side of it? you can't underestimate her because she has a big serve, i struggled a little bit but managed to get the job done yesterday, so still some names in there and i think you can't rule out konta because actually the women's is really interesting, if something like the start of nine different women who had the last ten grand slam and for the man it's only about 52 out of 57 so it's very different from the men's? it's wide open. if he is open. if he has opened this year, many things and be. what we

know serena felt she needed match time this year. well andy murray was in action in the men's doubles, befoe he was due to take to court again in the mixed doubles alongside serena williams. but if he is to win a doubles title this year it's going to have to come in the mixed discipline with murray alongside his partner pierre huget herbert crashing out. michael redford reports. cameras at the ready, this is the former world and british number one walking to the court aiming to reach round three. from phones to fines, plenty of them awaiting andy murray's arrival, finding a back seat as he can. and they had the opportunity to see history. he had never reached the third round of the men's doubles event yet a grand slam and to do that he had his partner needed to be nicola and difranco, they are seated sixth, a pair not overawed by his appearance, the racket just about coming overawed by his appearance, the racketjust about coming to his

defence. quick reactions from murray, his partner also added, playing his part throughout the price that is neither they nor their opponent dropped the start. tie—breaking coming in. it was mary who came out on top winning seven points to four. seconds that followed a similar pattern up until the tenth game, up until it mattered, with the break, 6—4 match level. the point at the third, succeeds hide spring and the step. second break as well, pair winning six — two, very much in control. both had an answer for everything, murray and then forced to look on as they left us up again early in the fourth. that led to the nervous looks from the family, and they had

every right to be concerned. they w011 every right to be concerned. they won the fourth set 6—3 and went into the next round. murray go out and wait for a place in the third round and a grandson, it's on for the former british number one. be disappointing site phone for the watching cloud seeing him go out in the next doubles, we know he won the queens title and feliciano, are you surprised i suppose partly probably inevitable where he is in terms of recovery from all the operations?m wouldn't surprise me if he went and won, he had a very established doubles partner in a pa air, but i watched and commented on the press match and it was a bit rusty to start with, they clearly are a new partnership and took some time to get used to each other but they got through that first round, but today, even though they got it at * itjust

sort of whittled away, i didn't see the match because i was commentating on the konta match, i think it's great he's back playing doubles testing out his had been seeing where it is after the surgery to see whether his body can't take the matches, and get a body responds differently after matches as it is to practise, i'm sure he's come away from the championship, and bearing the mix of course and lots of information and i think they'll build everything towards trying to get himself back on a single squad, that perhaps he will be disappointed as we know it is very competitive and doesn't like lose anything. everyone cannot wait for hannah and serena to play. interesting, she wowed centre court yesterday — today coco gauff was in mixed doubles action, she teamed up with britain's jay clarke. but they but lost. she must be exhausted. i think so because even last night it was an extraordinary

match both emotions and physicals andi match both emotions and physicals and i think she was suffering a little to physically bit the way she turned it around and finished late and went into the press room and did lots of interviews and what have you goodness knows what time she went to bed so i think you cannot hear today, she probably didn't have too much left in the tank and the battery is running a little bit low and we have to remember she's come through three rounds of qualifying, most players are preparing themselves with extra time to head a championship but she played back to back three matches to get into the championship and yet she is now the fourth round trying to somehow get energy to take on a former wild number one tomorrow, so shame she went out today but let's see what happens on the single squad tomorrow. she's definitely cute story this week and she will remain still heading into the second week. thank you, annabelle forjoining us. let's have a look at some of the other stories from the men's draw. roger federer is an action at that moment to put this place and another

fourth round in wimbledon send melee settings as he understand, how the success he had, you see he is currently at two sets to the gate, and lucas serving to stay in the match of february looking cool and calm and collected. he is out there on centre court. he will because place you can envisage. i do not today. he executed that one still in it. my pictures on court number one at the moment, can advance up against so zach, putting in blistering performances and the grass so far this year winning the to challenge her title. he is looking to book his place in the fourth round at a place he has never been here before it wimbledon, you see a been here before it wimbledon, you seea pump been here before it wimbledon, you see a pump that currently at the moment and he is having taking first

set 6—4, dropping the second 6— boy but is up to one —— 2—1 there. it'll be great to see, at dan evans joining konta in the next round. that's about it from wimbledon up for the moment. plenty more in a moment. that big talking points today. kei nishikori remains in the draw — the only top 10 seed besides djokovic, nadal and federer left in the tournament. he beat the american steve johnson in straight sets. two time wimbledon champion rafa nadal is through, he beatjo wilfried tsonga and could play dan evans in the next round. nadal looked dominant, into teh fourth round again, one of teh big three and on course to meet djokovic in the final. kei nishikori remains in the draw — the only top 10 seed besides djokovic, nadal and federer left in the tournament. he beat the american steve johnson in straight sets. the italian player fabio fognini has apologised after being heard on court saying "i wish a bomb would explode on this club" during his

defeat by tenny sandgren. fognini is under threat of a ban from two grand slam tournaments following misogynistic language to a female umpire at the us open in 2017. it really good, explode though. ok, so most of the time when you're on court you're frustrated and for sure i was not happy about my performance today because i knew i had to win in this case because i to to win back, something happened on court, and if i have to say sorry. yes, some imagined then that he will be facing further punishments for those comments today very surprising comments today very surprising comments he made earlier on will stop plenty more in a moment.

that big talking points today. will be back with you and see that federer match but going back to salford with adam. phil nevels england side at the world cup right now. that's correct, perfect bank on point for that one. loads happening away from the all england club today. let's start with the women's world cup, where england's tournament has come to a disappointing end with a 2—1 defeat to sweden in the 3rd/4th place play—off match in nice. we can cross to jane dougall now, who is pitchside for us. and jane it's the game nobody wants to really play in but still one the lionesses won't be happy about losing? i think they will be devastated, they came to the torment wanting to win but as a stadion and peed, so had their dreams because they came forth in a tournament which they we re forth in a tournament which they were aware of the favourites to win, but the fact of the matter is they

we re but the fact of the matter is they were just not that today against a very tight site, and the fact for the first 20 minutes sweden were all over england and the princeton goal came, eight minutes and, come like the captain had to go off because she had something in her ear and eye she had something in her ear and eye she was off, alex brock —— blocked it unwittingly set it up quite nicely for them to shoot. one nail down after 11 minutes, and it looks as if they were exposed in the back who just left free to shoot, she and passed carly on the left, and a place to after 21 minutes. eventually england woke up, they had a few decent chances and thenjoe scottjill a few decent chances and thenjoe scott j ill scott a few decent chances and thenjoe scottjill scott fought and drove it into the box and then england seem to be on fire at that stage because

two minutes later, top goal scorer ellen white tested the ball down into the box spun around and back she put down level, but the referee took a look again, and it was i handball it she had to go to par, just as in the semifinal against the united states, it was that the delayed and denied allen white an equaliser, all in the first half, second—half made changes beyond caring for herfinal second—half made changes beyond caring for her final game as in england a player officially announced retirement but to be frank, there wasn't a math done, they didn't have enough in them, and they didn't have enough in them, and the whistle blew and brought with the whistle blew and brought with the bedrooms are over. i pray for england going home with no metal of any colour. looking back at the tournament overall, but you think the overall assessment will be on how england performed? the overall assessment will be on how england performed ?|j the overall assessment will be on how england performed? i don't think they play to the best of their ability certainly not in every match

a nyway ability certainly not in every match anyway there were moments of brilliance and i'm specifically thinking at the lucy bronze goal in the norway match or perhaps a step or ten clearance in the usa match, also the alan wake goal as well acted across and, but there are moments when you thought yeah i'm not surprised england are favoured to win, but at the same time they are moments of disappointment where england defence looked quite shaky, there are three missed penalties to from nikita paris and of christ one from nikita paris and of christ one from steph horton that was u nfortu nate for from steph horton that was unfortunate for england because i could have given them an equaliser against the uk —— usa and the semifinal but at times there had been her relic and at times they have certainly been below par, and to be quite honest, crucially it hasn't come together for them in every single match and you have to do that at a world cup when you're up do that at a world cup when you're up against the best sides in the wild, even if it means grinding out a result which is less we didn't get

tonight, so yeah, england are going home and going home about a medal and performed not to the best of their ability will be incredibly disappointed but did not forget what they had been his raised audiences and they had inspired the next generation at the politics, both grounds in place to go and play football, and when they go home with nothing though but the next generation will be to have an idea for the next world cup. thank you very much indeed. some big names are missing from the tour de france, which got underway today. four—time winner chris froome is injured, while mark cavendish was dropped by his team. dutch rider mike teunissen won an action packed stage, that saw pre race favourites — including defending champion geraint thomas crash. nick parrott reports. 50 yea rs 50 years ago, eddie was on his way to the first of five tour de france victories so who better to help this year get under way? they took inspiration from his compatriot, the

olympic champion breaking away to claim valuable points. with his mission accomplished, he eased up and came to the fore, chasing a record seventh jersey and opened the account winning intermediate sprint. for those with their eyes on the main prize keeping out of trouble as priority in the early stages, denmark couldn't, they say he need stitches but will be able to continue. the defending champion wasn't immune from danger either, getting caught up in the bear is on the right by escaping unharmed. it is came down to a fight between the still, with a dutch writer victorious by the finest of margins. we'll know the line ups for the cricket world cup later. india could well end up top of the group table — after a convincing seven wicket win over sri lanka at headingley. sri lanka batted first — angelo mathews scoring a century, as they scored 264 for seven from their 50 overs.

india ran riot in their innings — rohit sharma became the first man to hit five hundreds in a single world cup. their other opener, kl rahul, making 111, saw them chase down their target with ease. let's quickly round up some of the day's other sports stories now. great britain have been beaten by france in their historic women's eurobasket semifinal in belgrade. they got off to a quick start, taking a four—point lead at the end of the first quarter but france pegged them back to 34—34 at the half—time break and gradually pulled away over the final two quarters to win 63 to 56. englishman robert rock shot the lowest round in the history of the irish open to lead by a shot going into the final round. he missed an eagle on the last for a 59 — but six straight birdies coming home gave him a 10 under par 60. marc marquez set a moto gp record, with a seventh consecutive pole, at the sachsenring for the german gp.

the honda rider, beat his own lap record, to hold off fabio quarta—raro, who'd dislocated his shoulder in an earlier practise session. maverick vinales starts 3rd. britain's jamie chadwick has seen her w series championship lead cut to ten points after finishing third in today's race at the norising. spain's marta garcia took the top step of the podium in germany with chadwick's championship rival beit—ska visser second. time now to head back to wimbledon where john watson can bring us the latest, on what is a busy saturday in south west london. yes it's indeed, as you know we had three brits in action, konta in and harriet beaten, but then is in the main signals, dan evans looks on christ to be progressing, he is currently one set all that has a third set, over and quit number one,

3-2 third set, over and quit number one, 3—2 up, the buses that has a couple of break opportunities here of his own against dan evans. remember, plain brilliant tennis since returning from the dried band a year ago, and he sees them, add a couple in the back there and he took one for the first time of asking, separating back so dan on top in the first set with work to do. pleased at one set all over on court number one. as you can see. i can tell you, roger federer has progressed as well, he too is through to the fourth round, beating the lucas plea a little bit earlier on, which means he is into the next round once again joining not doll there and of christ lots of people waiting to see andy and serena williams in the mixed doubles later on he is out of the man doubles the chance of winning

silverware will rest in the mixed discipline alongside serena williams and after they redid to play yesterday but of course has been moved to today with the late combination of those matches yesterday. we are of course having a rest day tomorrow but we will be back on monday with a manic monday well we will see all of the fourth round matches in the men's and women's singles play then, we will have a full round up of all that gay place here and the rest on the news channel at 7:30pm but for now from trilobites, goodbye. good evening, ifire we good evening, i fire we escaped the rain and with than but we have rain on the radar picture today, and that's coming from thick cloud and what if i'm here, so you can see it's over the landing area at this evening could be a spot of rain but

also the beginning, meaning bad light that is a very weak weather from behind have a northwest breezy side, across the crates just a gentle breeze for the most but it will bring cooler air across may be much cooler nights, 15 or 13 to 15 and we have a northwest breezy side, across the crates just a gentle breeze for the most but it will bring cooler air across may be much cooler nights, 15 or 13 to 15 inside an area of rain but also the beginning, meaning bad light that is a very weak weather from behind 11 northwest breezy side, across the crates just a gentle breeze for the most but it will bring cooler air across many much cooler nights, 15 or 13 to 15 across many much cooler nights, 15 or13 to 15 in across many much cooler nights, 15 or 13 to 15 in southern areas maggie and cooler. chances are this system madejust a drag if he is and be slow to clear and the far south of england tomorrow morning overseeing the cloud by a for the most part be a dry and bright day, withjust the cloud by a for the most part be a dry and bright day, with just a few showers being brought in on that breeze and northeast scotland and england through the afternoon but again generally speaking wings are quite light, so with the sunshine which there will be more tomorrow, and so for the northwest of scotland as well, it should feel warm and wet 22 celsius. not the dizzy heights we had recently, but as i say the sign is pretty strong with light wind, feeling pleasant but unfortunately
