7:35 pm
reports. in this famous corner of london it was kazakhstan versus tunisia. a brand—new combination for a wimbledon final and a clash seemingly of styles. ons jabeur is a conjurer of shots. you, from there, could you do this? well, only her. her opponent, elena rybakina, her stature and power but her touch initially was unreliable. ons jabeur took the first set 6—3 but even in a 3—set match there is time to get better. to speed up. she s-set match there is time to get better. to speed up.— s-set match there is time to get better. to speed up. she is getting to them and _ better. to speed up. she is getting to them and she _ better. to speed up. she is getting to them and she is _ better. to speed up. she is getting to them and she is putting - better. to speed up. she is getting to them and she is putting them i to them and she is putting them away. to them and she is putting them awa . ., . , ., away. into the deciding set, elena r bakina away. into the deciding set, elena rybakina retained _ away. into the deciding set, elena rybakina retained her _ away. into the deciding set, elena rybakina retained her power - away. into the deciding set, elena rybakina retained her power but l away. into the deciding set, elena i rybakina retained her power but now she had the movement, the finesse, how could ons jabeur deal with that? well, she needed an answer urgently. she could not find one. third set 6-2. the she could not find one. third set 6—2. the moment of victory seemed almost routine. of course, it was of
7:36 pm
years in the making. she is from moscow. she has represented kazakhstan since 2018 but in the year that russian players were banned from she is a champion some in russia claim as theirs. elena rybakina cannot control perceptions, only her achievements. she was outstanding to this fortnight. you'll ever want to say thank you for the royal box. i mean, i am playing first time and it is an honour to be here to play in front of you. thank you so much and it is just unbelievable atmosphere. thank you. this victory for elena rybakina reallyjust you. this victory for elena rybakina really just reinforces you. this victory for elena rybakina reallyjust reinforces how open, how fluid women's tennis teams at the moment foot of the lasix women's champions here at wimbledon or different names, all different nationalities. welcome here as argentina and japan. finally defeating britain's players after their ten consecutive wheelchair doubles grand slam titles. worth the wait. joe wilson, bbc news,

wimbledon. vets react to that women's final and i'm joined by the former number one. thank you for joining us here in the sun and you were commentating. without the result you are expecting? i were commentating. without the result you are expecting?- result you are expecting? i don't think anyone _ result you are expecting? i don't think anyone really _ result you are expecting? i don't think anyone really knew - result you are expecting? i don't think anyone really knew how i result you are expecting? i don't l think anyone really knew how both result you are expecting? i don't i think anyone really knew how both of them are going to react. it was their first them are going to react. it was theirfirst grand slam them are going to react. it was their first grand slam final so you never quite know what the nerves are going to be but in many ways i think the way she handled her semifinal, beating the former champion here from 2019. she appeared to have no nerves at all and a bigger server but it did take her little bit longer to get going. i think we all thought the sort of tricks and artistry that she brings out on to centre court might be too much for elena rybakina but elena rybakina is just handled everything so well and about her level right up after that first set and she was the better player by the end.— player by the end. inevitably, questions _ player by the end. inevitably, questions abound _ player by the end. inevitably, questions abound nationality| player by the end. inevitably, i questions abound nationality put up she did change her allegiance to
7:38 pm
kazakhstan four years ago because of the money invested by that tennis federation but throughout the round here she is based questions, hasn't she? because a wimbledon's band. i do think she has dealt with that because, 23, it is not easy. you mac it is so young, isn't it? and having to deal the very political questions and because she is so sweet natured and because she is so sweet natured and very charming and, you know, she is very honest in her answer so i think the whole thing is probably extremely awkward for her but i thought she handled it extremely well. i think one player who is probably sitting at home feeling a little bit hard done by, the russian who reached the semifinals here last year and beat both 0ns jabeur and her along the way to reach the semifinal so ijust wonder her along the way to reach the semifinal so i just wonder what she is thinking. no russian belarusian players here. let's talk about 0ns jabeur because we have just seen the media balcony put up the tunisia fancy her name and there are so much love for however that this is the
7:39 pm
first day she was standing the chance of winning the grand slam. the first arab african women to do that was a bit out happen but she had that one set lead. what went wrong for her?— had that one set lead. what went wrong for her? that is a very good ruestion wrong for her? that is a very good question because _ wrong for her? that is a very good question because she _ wrong for her? that is a very good question because she looked i wrong for her? that is a very good question because she looked to i wrong for her? that is a very good | question because she looked to be starting to get very comfortable with anything out there. she return serves extremely well using a block of returns and then all the tricks came out of the box. shiva leaders have an array of shotmaking capabilities with slices, dinky shots, drop shots and then it was all like she got a little bit too, not complacent is the wrong word but then almost started to use too much of the trickery and at one point she headed a ball and it felt like she was starting to lose her focus out there and then suddenly elena rybakina started to get more confident and then panic set in and there was a real kind of swing of momentum towards elena rybakina and the more she got hold of the match and got her teeth stuck into it and started to flow with the ground strokes then she looked unstoppable. you please spot a top level. i have
7:40 pm
not. people are saying 0ns jabeur wanted it too much. is that a thing? it is always the case when you are a sportsman. you always want to win. maybe there are times when the tension just gets to you and there were times when she was struggling one if you kick serve that were really problematic to her. elena rybakina was kicking the service and she was missing a few of those and you saw her turnaround with anguished look. she became very emotional out there and she is a passionate tennis player whereas in the opposite side of the court you have this almost flat liner who just shows no emotion at all. elena rybakina did not even show emotion when she won. i think about actually, to be honest with you, the crowd were overwhelmingly in favour of 0ns jabeur which was interesting in itself because, you know, to be that favourable towards one player when you've got this young 23—year—old, it was just more of the artistry i think that 0ns jabeur brings to the court. she draws you to her her tennis and she has probably had a little bit more of
7:41 pm
the city and people were talking about the first arab woman to take a grand slam inevitably loves her. you'll love her but i felt for elena rybakina that she had this entire kind of 12,000 people cheering against her but i thought she handled that really, really well. she showed great mental stability and strength of character. did not give anything away with her body they merge and itjust shone through. it they merge and it 'ust shone throu~h. ~ ., , ., through. it felt like finally a time of release when _ through. it felt like finally a time of release when she _ through. it felt like finally a time of release when she was - through. it felt like finally a time | of release when she was smiling. just for the moment i want to talk about the men's final. what an occasion it will be for kyrgios playing against the defending champion in tomorrow's men's singles final. we've been hearing from both players. let's hearfrom the defending champion. players. let's hear from the defending champion.- players. let's hear from the defending champion. well, it is a hue defending champion. well, it is a huge honour- _ defending champion. well, it is a huge honour. i'm _ defending champion. well, it is a huge honour. i'm very _ defending champion. well, it is a huge honour. i'm very happy i defending champion. well, it is a huge honour. i'm very happy and | huge honour. i'm very happy and pleased to reach another final of the tournament. it is or was be my favourites in the early childhood days. i don't take anything for granted and particularly at this stage of my career, how many more opportunities i'll have to fight for

7:43 pm
unpredictability and he loves you prod and poke and get under the sticky and then get into the head of his opponent and he has never beaten them so what we don't know is how is 0ns jabeur going to handle such an enormous occasion going out to centre court for his first grand slam final. i think he is even surprised as self getting to this stage but i think he has a mental edge and the two previous match ups but he was quite clever in his interview at the end of the sammy when he sort of made sure the crowd knew that. and so what he was really doing was piling the pressure on to kyrgios and making sure that he knew that, actually, the pressure is on your shoulders because i've never beaten you. i don't he has ever had a set of him and he wanted the crowd to know that. a set of him and he wanted the crowd to know that-— to know that. smart. you make a sublot to know that. smart. you make a subplot going _ to know that. smart. you make a subplot going on _ to know that. smart. you make a subplot going on underneath i to know that. smart. you make a subplot going on underneath the| subplot going on underneath the surface. thank you forjoining us. one more thing to add on. the last
7:44 pm
time he had a quarterfinal run at wimbledon he said many of the night before his match as he was down the pub. is a much more discipline figure. he said he took off before the champions and worked with the former wimbledon champion. it is a different kyrgios that we see. yes, we have seen the same or things at times. that circus, the fireworks, the crowd, but at times he has that measured in come to. this really has a sense of uncertainty about it. it will be fascinating tomorrow on centre court no matter what happens and he says we can expect fireworks, in his words. but to look forward to tomorrow afternoon and then elena rybakina is the women's champion today.
7:45 pm
thank you chetan — away from sw19 and there's all to play for in sydney next saturday after england's rugby union players levelled their 3 match series with australia, after a 25—17 win in brisbane. meanwhile there was a historic 23—12 victory for ireland in new zeland as lydia campbell reports. they sing the all blacks is always daunting. just ask ireland who had never beaten them in new zealand so to tie the series, ireland would have to make history. this was the perfect start. andrew porter driving over inside the first three minutes. this was a display of discipline from new zealand. first leicester was given a yellow card for flying into someone for a red card for this head—to—head contact. but off—colour and outnumbered, new zealand can still hurt you. somehow kicking through a gap and pulling his side with three points of the break. so
7:46 pm
the pressure was on for ireland but under andy farrell pressure are something to embrace and had a second try of the game after the restart. ireland's total was brought to 23 and despite the all blacks pulling try back, this was ireland's day. history made and the series tied. ., . ., ., , ., tied. you create a little bit of histo , tied. you create a little bit of history. it — tied. you create a little bit of history, it means _ tied. you create a little bit of history, it means a _ tied. you create a little bit of history, it means a lot. it i tied. you create a little bit of history, it means a lot. it is l tied. you create a little bit ofj history, it means a lot. it is a very, very special day for everyone in the country and we talk about it a lot. you know, making people at home feel very proud of us. it was not perfect. we feel that we could have played better in parts but, look, a very special day. in brisbane, the challenge was being laid down for england. knowing that a loss here would mean losing the series, they needed a fast start. step up. the number eight going over
7:47 pm
with less than five minutes play before for penalties sent them into a 19-0 before for penalties sent them into a 19—0 lead. tries did threaten and unlike the australian come back but the closest they came was five points. before farrell ended the contest with another penalty. the series tied, now all eyes will be on sydney next week. so history for ireland — and history for wales too. they've beaten the springboks in south africa for the first time, to level their 3 match series. the only try of the game was scored byjosh adams with less than two minutes to go. that brought them to within a point of the world cup winners and left gareth anscombe with a tricky kick to win it and what a moment for him, sending his kick through the posts from a tight angle. scotland are sill to come tonight, as they take on argentina at 10 past 8. so as england's rugby
7:48 pm
players level one series, the cricketers were unable to do likewise. they lost their second t20 international against india by 49 runs at edgbaston. austin halewood was watching this one. so england's indian summer continues. be but the years began with a heavy defeat in hampshire and once again, india throughout of the blocks. but then a debutant came onto the attack for england. not a bad start to international cricket. the india captain was gone. at 3a, gleeson is the oldest england debutant since 2007 but it kept getting betterfor him put up next he got the illustrious kohli and then the same fate. this he got the illustrious kohli and then the same fate.— he got the illustrious kohli and then the same fate. this is 'ust caettin then the same fate. this is 'ust getting better i then the same fate. this is 'ust getting better and i then the same fate. this is 'ust getting better and betteri then the same fate. this isjust getting better and better for i getting better and better for gleeson. shill getting better and better for gleeson. �* ., , , , gleeson. all of his christmas is comin t gleeson. all of his christmas is

7:50 pm
captain, for joss buttler. that's two defeats from two so far, he says it was always going to be difficult to compete after their poor start with the bat. any time in t20 cricket you lose early wickets it really sets you back but i don't want us to play with a lesson ten. if anything i would like us to show more. india bowled fantastically well and managed to take wickets and we have to find a way to counteract i think it is important to stay level. t20 is a tough game and it has certainly been harsh. things can change around quickly and i will certainly be reminding the guys of that. at euro 2022 portugal came back from two goals down to draw 2—2 with switzerland. the swiss had scored 2 goals in 3 mins right at the start of the match, including this screamer from coomba so. but in the second half diana gomes started the portuguese comeback beforejessica silva got

7:53 pm
but they'll be without striker simone magill who's out of the tournament after rupturing her acl. midfielder demi vance told nicola mccartney she'll be sorely missed. it is unfortunate injury to happen at any time in your career and i think that it is that it has happened in a major tournament. she is a big, big loss for us but we are going to rally around her. we are no stranger to long—term injuries, unfortunately. and we will be there for her right to the end so these next few games for before her. what next few games for before her. what are ou next few games for before her. what are you exoecting — next few games for before her. what are you expecting from _ next few games for before her. what are you expecting from them? will anything be different? are you planning anything different tactically or how you might compete with them? ., ., tactically or how you might compete with them? ., ,, ., with them? yeah, i think we made some mistakes _ with them? yeah, i think we made some mistakes against _ with them? yeah, i think we made some mistakes against norway. i with them? yeah, i think we made | some mistakes against norway. we made some mistakes against austria is well and we are working and have done a lot of stuff as a group and i think we will go in with the tactics that then they're giving us and we'll follow them and philip will get the result. we'll follow them and philip will get the result.

7:57 pm
he established himself in the yellow jersey and it is important to avoid incidents like this if he wants to keep it. a crash earlier in the stage only briefly held up the main contenders including thomas who were set to keep hold of third place. while a three—man group broke away — including 23—year—old londoner fred wright, riding his second tour. it's rare for a breakaway to hold off the chasing pack all the way to the finish but they gave it all they had. wright still had a chance of glory as the race headed for lausanne, but the peloton were closing in. a great ride from the young englishman but he was swept up on the final climb. pogacar in the yellow jersey was among those going for it in the bunch sprint — but wout van aert demonstrated why he's wearing the green of the best sprinter, his second win on this tour. but there are time bonuses on offer for the first three to finish — so pogacar gained four seconds on his rivals, which will come in handy as the race heads for the alps tomorrow. that's all from sportsday.
