south—westerly wind through the afternoon. blustery across england and wales with gales moving into the kent coast. in terms of the feel of things tomorrow, perhaps not as warm as the last couple of days, we might see temperatures peaking at 18 or 19. the rain will linger across eastern scotland for a time but i think wimbledon tomorrow is going to be a case of some showers around, hopefully not as many as we have seen so far in the championships. a few showers for tuesday and wednesday, but thursday and friday looking more straightforward as high—pressure bills. here is that high—pressure bills. here is that high pressure, we lose the low pressure, the high moves in from the south—west as we go into thursday and friday. so, still the potential for some showers around on wednesday, but by thursday and friday, drierand wednesday, but by thursday and friday, drier and warmer with temperatures may be back up to 23. there you go, something for everybody! a reminder of our top story: borisjohnson

all the stars come out to play. in the women's draw, top seed ash barty was up against french open champion barbara krejcikova. both players were competing for a first wimbledon quarterfinal, so this was a tense battle, bartyjust doing enough to take the first sets. the second was slightly more straightforward, with the aussie wrapping it up. she may bejust 17 years old, the aussie wrapping it up. she may be just 17 years old, but it already feels as though coco gauff has been around for years. but here, she was locked in a real tussle for the quarterfinals with angelique kerber, with the german taking the first set. kerb is a former world number one and often, when youth comes up against experience, experience rains. angelique kerber reaching her first quarter—final in three years.

she hasn�*t had the greatest year, but she did win her first tournament in three yearsjust but she did win her first tournament in three years just before wimbledon in three years just before wimbledon in germany. she has played her way into form. that has been the most surprising player who has come through. surprising player who has come throu~h. ~ . surprising player who has come throu~h. . ., , ., ., ., through. what should we read into this from coco _ through. what should we read into this from coco gauff? _ through. what should we read into this from coco gauff? she - through. what should we read into this from coco gauff? she has - this from coco gauff? she has continued through these championships and reached the quarterfinals at the french open, but still only 17.— but still only 17. there is still lots to learn, _ but still only 17. there is still lots to learn, but _ but still only 17. there is still lots to learn, but she - but still only 17. there is still lots to learn, but she has - but still only 17. there is still| lots to learn, but she has got but still only 17. there is still. lots to learn, but she has got a fantastic game and she is only going to get better. there has been a lot of hype around coco gauff and rightly so, but there are still a lot of improvements to be made. what we have seen is just a taste of more to come. we have seen is 'ust a taste of more to come. �* , ., �* , to come. and in terms of the men's draw, we to come. and in terms of the men's draw. we will _ to come. and in terms of the men's draw, we will dip _ to come. and in terms of the men's draw, we will dip into _ to come. and in terms of the men's draw, we will dip into that - to come. and in terms of the men's draw, we will dip into that in - to come. and in terms of the men's draw, we will dip into that in a - draw, we will dip into that in a moment. but novak djokovic seems like the overwhelming favourite for everyone. i don�*t think anyone was expecting cristian garin to cause him to many problems. is he the man to beat for you and can he do this golden slam he is trying to go for? he is on the right track. he has
6:41 pm
looked very good and after his first match against jack looked very good and after his first match againstjack draper, he looked very good and after his first match against jack draper, he has got better with each match. it was a comfortable victory for him earlier and he is the man to beat. it�*s hard to see anyone get past him. aha, to see anyone get past him. a potential final with roger federer, although we are getting ahead of ourselves. roger federer 5—5 against lorenzo sonego. there are other players here that are supposed to be trying to step up now and challenge the domination of the big three. zverev and medvedev in particular. who do you see getting closer to novak if he is not to do it? it�*s a novak if he is not to do it? it's a hard one — novak if he is not to do it? it's a hard one to _ novak if he is not to do it? it's a hard one to call. _ novak if he is not to do it? it's a hard one to call. medvedev - novak if he is not to do it? it�*s —. hard one to call. medvedev hasn't hard one to call. medvedev hasn�*t had success here over the years at wimbledon, that he is going on confidence and feeling more comfortable with his game on a grass court. zverev has the belief to challenge someone like novak
6:42 pm
djokovic. but he is in the fifth set against f lix auger—aliassime. it�*s against f lix auger—aliassime. it�*s a tough one to call. with the type of form know that djokovic is in, i can�*t see anyone coming close. that can't see anyone coming close. that sums u- can't see anyone coming close. that sums no what _ can't see anyone coming close. that sums up what most _ can't see anyone coming close. that sums up what most people are feeling like. we will let anne keothavong escape because she is part of the commentary team for emma raducanu�*s match, whenever that gets under way. player suspended on centre court. i can see the alexander zverev against f lix auger—aliassime, that is into a fifth set and that is the match we are waiting to finish. no doubt the roof will go up and then we will see emma raducanu. come back to me at the end of the programme if we can. we are going to shift our attention at a football because england have got denmark to play in the euro semifinals on wednesday night was that the preparation is well under way at st george�*s park, where we can cross to olly foster.
6:43 pm
many thanks, chetan. three weeks and five matches into the european championship, england seem to be in such a good place. that quarterfinal victory in rome against ukraine on saturday night their most complete performance so far in this tournament. and they had yesterday off, back in training today. gareth southgate has a full squad of 26 players. book at sakho, who started against germany in the last 16, he missed the quarterfinal that he was back with the main group and that is going to give gareth southgate another selection headache. he said it�*s been tough leaving players out. he can only name a match day 23 and he said that has been hard, but what a good place to be in as they go into the final stretch and this becomes a case of the final games.
6:44 pm
we can guess the harry maguire is going to start against denmark. he was in that core of players who also made it to the semifinals three years ago in russia. he spoke to us today spoke about how that defeat against croatia in moscow still hurts, and he talked about how they have developed as players over the last three years. ladle have developed as players over the last three years.— last three years. we are in a better lace than last three years. we are in a better place than we _ last three years. we are in a better place than we was. _ last three years. we are in a better place than we was. we _ last three years. we are in a better place than we was. we have - last three years. we are in a betterl place than we was. we have learned from the experience and also the experience of the games in between like the nations league. we have had a lot of big games in that period to improve on. a lot of time spent together on the training pitch and friendlies and qualifiers. every game we play together, we feel like we are going to improve. you have seen during the games in this tournament that there has been a lot of difference from the first game the ukraine game in terms to of what we are demanding from each other. we
6:45 pm
are in a better place now but we have a long way to go. if are in a better place now but we have a long way to go. if england were not this _ have a long way to go. if england were not this far, _ have a long way to go. if england were not this far, we _ have a long way to go. if england were not this far, we would - have a long way to go. if england were not this far, we would all. have a long way to go. if england | were not this far, we would all be denmark fans, let�*s be honest. their story over the past few weeks was horrific to begin with and an incredible and inspiring. they are highly motivated, what a journey they are on. highly motivated, what a “ourney they _ they are on. definitely, their “ourne they are on. definitely, their journey has _ they are on. definitely, their journey has been _ they are on. definitely, their journey has been really - they are on. definitely, their - journey has been really inspiring. obviously, our thoughts have always been with christian and his recovery. we are all right behind that. and they are a good team. they have proven for years that they are a top team. the highest ranked team we will have played in this competition, so we know they are a strong team with great leaders and experience. so it�*s a tough game but we are focused on ourselves. hana; we are focused on ourselves. harry mauuire, we are focused on ourselves. harry maguire. saying — we are focused on ourselves. harry maguire, saying denmark- we are focused on ourselves. harry maguire, saying denmark will- we are focused on ourselves. harry maguire, saying denmark will not be underestimated. he spoke about a range of subjects to us today,
