yes, the first set, very tight, went to djokovic, and the second set, also very tight, has just gone to djokovic. i am aware of the sport has been going on. we have had some thrilling tennis evening. i think centre court right now would love another one, but that depends on young dennis. it certainly does. thank you. time for a look at the weather here's nick miller. there will be more aces than sunny spells at wimbledon this weekend. today has all been about the cloud, look at this in county durham, and big building clouds in east anglia, bringing some flooding downpours this afternoon. heavy showers have developed in the midlands as well and will slowly push their way north into parts of northern england, scattered downpours in scotland. the intensity will fade eventually tonight but we are still left with a few showers in scotland and northern england, and outbreaks of rain affecting more of south—west england, perhaps south wales, later in the night. it is a mild, muggy

and rather misty night to come. we start tomorrow with a lot of cloud and rain in southern england, pushing across the south—east into east anglia for a cloudier, cooler day compared to today. elsewhere, you can see the showers, slow—moving thundery downpours breaking out across parts of wales, the midlands, the north of england and into scotland, but by no means everybody will catch them. pleasantly warm temperatures reach into the low 20s in some spots, and bar the odd shower, largely dry in northern ireland. any heavy downpours will slowly fade into the night, and on sunday, they break out across parts of scotland, northern england, a shower possible just about anywhere and then another weather system coming away from the west bring outbreaks of rain toward south—west england once again. this becoming more widespread in england and wales over night and into monday. and for the sport, not much sunshine at wimbledon, rain slowly clearing

tomorrow, chance of a shower on sunday and rain pushing on across southern england on sunday evening, could eventually arrive at wembley. but of all the things going on at weatherley on sunday evening, i'm not sure the weather is too high on the list to get excited about. i don't think it is. and that is all from us, so it is goodbye for me and wejoin the bbc�*s news from us, so it is goodbye for me and we join the bbc�*s news teams where you are.

the same old routine, the tight turnaround between knockout matches four days, rest and recovery, two training sessions in the first of them was this morning and then they've got the last of them tomorrow, but also behind the scenes, they have been having some yoga, some swimming, sports science at their disposal, they're so comfortable here and there also so calm despite the magnitude of the match that is coming up on sunday against the italians. we heard from some of the players today, the captain gary kane, he scored the winning goal up against the scintillating semifinals. —— harry kane. he managed to beat casper and he has been having a fantastic tournament after a slow start and he spoke to their aspirations as to what they can achieve.

i think this is the biggest game in my career so far. and i spoke about trying to pass a being a club level just because there was a long wait to the final and with a trophy and his players, you think of that moment, you dream of that moment and we are all grounded enough to know that we have a very tough game on our hands at sunday. but there's a good belief in this team. we will bounce back and go one step further and it's been a great mentality that we have created but we do want to win. we played football to win. you dream of these moments as a kid, lifting trophy for your country we have that opportunity now. yeah, a great prospect for us, we just have to enjoy the moment, take it all in and of course, went to perform

victory here. and huge success has been built on the brilliant midfield. so many naturally gifted players and the chelsea playmaker, how instrumental will they become arguably england will have to shackle them if they are to enjoy any success come sunday. but the defence. two defensive gladiators, if you like. 218 international catches between them and he has as its not one individual, it is the collective that of god them to the final. they will come up against them come sunday. we final. they will come up against them come sunday.— final. they will come up against them come sunday. final. they will come up against them come sunda . ~ ., ., ., them come sunday. we look forward to -la in: on them come sunday. we look forward to playing on sunday _ them come sunday. we look forward to playing on sunday even _ them come sunday. we look forward to playing on sunday even though - them come sunday. we look forward to playing on sunday even though the - playing on sunday even though the majority _ playing on sunday even though the majority of financial support england. just to be there will be an additionai— england. just to be there will be an
