impressive victory over alex de minaur in the final means he's also the world number one, over—taking novak djokovic in the seedings for wimbledon, which starts in a week's time. patrick gearey reports. one of the most popular paths to wimbledon runs through west kensington. queens is a good place to see the future. it's grass courts are strange territory for carlos alcaraz, but he's been growing on these lawns, adjusting his game accordingly. in alex de minaur, he had an opponent who could provide a test. a bundle of aussie energy. at times in the first set, he threatened alcaraz, only to ultimately lose the argument. and after several flowing phrases of tennis, the set was finished with an alcaraz full stop. and he seemed to need the pause. the physio was called to provide some comfort. a few extra seconds in the shade would have helped. the temperature in london was above 30 degrees,

but the pace didn't seem to drop. earlier in the week, de minaur knocked andy murray out, but it hasn't affected his popularity. commentator: well, that's come back. - the australian here making the ball boomerang. touche for the trick shot. but the big shots were all from alcaraz. he imposed his will on his first grass court final game and soon seemed entirely at home. he came to queens, he says, to educate himself about grass. he leaves it as the champion and world number one. i started the tournament not really well, as you said, i had to adapt my movement, you know, a little bit on grass to get experience but it's been an amazing an amazing week and ending the week with a lot of, you know, a lot of energy. so atjust 20 years old, alcaraz is king of queens

and wimbledon top seed. he is making english grass his turf. patrick geary, bbc news. kazakhstan�*s alexander bublik, meanwhile, defeated andrey rublev in three sets to win the biggest title of his career at the halle open. rublev, who's the world number seven, was looking to become to first player to win atp 500 titles on all three surfaces. but he found bublik, ranked 48th in the world, in fine form ahead of wimbledon, winning only his second tour title. at the women's tournaments, petra kvitova boosted her hopes of a third wimbledon title by winning the german open in berlin — sweeping past donna vekic in straight sets. while at the birmingham classic, jelena ostapenko won her second title on grass with victory over barbora krejcikova. she clinched a very tight first set in a tie—break and then went—on to win the second set 6—4. it was the latvian�*s first staight sets win of the tournament.

she'll now move on to eastbourne. i played five great matches. this was the only match in two sets, thankfully, because it was. i mean, every match was really tough one and but it's a great preparation for wimbledon. and i'm really i'm really happy with with the way i play. and there are still a couple more things i can do better and then get ready for wimbledon. australia have the upper hand in the women's ashes test at trent bridge. england will start the final day on 116—5 chasing what would be a record score of 268 to win. australia were all out in their second innings for 257, sophie ecclestone once again england's best bowler taking 5 wickets — that's 10 for the match. but in reply the batters lost 5 wickets before the close and need 152 runs to win on the final day. well, it was 268 more than they had going into their second innings. so it's always, always nice to have those runs on the board.

absolutely. i thought, you know, we probably left a few out there, especially after tea. we lost a few quick wickets and we recognized that. but also, you know, it was it was a really tough conditions to bat in. i didn't find it easy and ifaced 120, 30 balls. so hopefully our bowlers can get in the right spot tomorrow and we take those five wickets. kalidou koulibaly is the latest chelsea footballer to move to saudi arabia after he completed a transfer to al—hilal for an undisclosed fee. the centre—back, joins real madrid star karim benzima at al—hilal. while n'golo kante has agreed to sign for saudi champions al-ittihad. koulibaly�*s chelsea team—mate edouard mendy is also close to moving to the saudi pro league. zharnel hughes says "the sky is the limited" after running 9.83 seconds to break linford christie's 30—year british 100 metre record. the reigning european 200 metres champion took 400ths of a second off christie's record in new york this weekend. his time was also the quickest

on the world this year. i spoke to him earlier and first asked how it felt to be the fastest man in britain. it's still a surreal moment for me because this morning i got up and i was like, i saw all the comments, all the posts and everything, and it was like, is this really happening? you know? i'm just happy to finally achieve a major milestone in my career, and this is something i've been working towards. obviously, my main focus wasn't to go out there to break the record yesterday. it was just to run fast and execute my phases properly. did it feel that fast? no, because the start wasn't the best start. was it? so did you feel like you were going at that sort of pace? honestly, i didn't actually. i thought it was like a 990 all day, about 995 or something about that time. but it's when i turn around and i saw the time on the board and i heard the stadium announcement saying 983.

i was like, what? that's the whole reaction you guys saw. this was obviously a 30 year record that linford christie held. he sometimes trains you, doesn't he, when you two meet up. so how does it feel to have broken his really long standing record? and what are you going to say when when you meet him? it feels good because, um, every time i'm over in the uk, linford, if my coach isn't there, he'll catch my time for me. and, you know, he'll be like, yeah, that's pretty fast. that's looking good. but we never actually spoke about the record. um, but i'm looking forward to when i'm next in the uk, which will be next week and i'm looking to shake his hand, you know, and, you know, just give him a big hug because he's a really cool guy to me and he's always been supportive and we have a really good relationship now. you also hinted, zainal, that this isjust the beginning. you said that you haven't even been working on the real speed stuff. this is more about kind of raw speed and endurance. so how much quicker can you go, do you think? well if you we're still injune

and championship is in august so i'm pretty sure i can go a lot, much faster. my coach and we spoke yesterday after the whole thing he was making, he was pointing out what he sees that can be walked on and he said you can run pretty fast. so just be focused and stay consistent and we'll get there. so we'll see. the sky's the limit. italy's francesco bagnaia won the dutch motogp at assen, ahead of his fellow countryman and title rival marco bezzecchi. the result extends bagnaia's lead in the championship to 35—points going into a break. bezzecchi who's also a duccati rider was second and spain's aleix espargaro completed the podium.racing will start again in early august. france's sebastien ogier won the 70th edition of the safari rally kenya afterjust managing to hold off

hello there. flaming june continued on sunday with temperatures in eastern parts of england over 30 degrees. not only was it hot, it was also very humid. but that heat and humidity is going to get pushed away by that weather front which has brought some rain earlier on. and following on behind that, we're going to find cooler and fresher air coming in from the atlantic. now, on saturday night, temperatures in highland scotland fell no lower than 20 degrees and the minimum temperature at crosby, in merseyside was 19 celsius. it will be much more comfortable as we head into early monday with temperatures perhaps down as low as single figures in scotland and northern ireland overnight. we start quite sunny on monday but quickly the cloud will bubble up, we're going to find showers developing in scotland, northern ireland and northern england. chance of showers further south much reduced. temperatures could be as high as 22—23 celsius in the south—east. of course, a lot lower than it was on sunday. and further north typically 18—20. a cooler, fresher, westerly wind will be blowing.

and all our weather's going to be coming in from the atlantic. more weather fronts coming our way as we move into tuesday. that's going to bring more cloud and it's going to bring some rain, mainly for northern and western areas. as you head further south there won't be much rain around at all but there will be a lot of cloud and those temperatures around 19—22 celsius. now, we're going to be in a warm sector as we head overnight and it's going to be very warm, actually, i think, overnight into wednesday morning for southeastern parts of the uk. the warm sector is the area between two weather fronts and so we're going to start with a lot of cloud around on wednesday. the second weather front, the cold front here, is this band of rain. that's going to clear away from scotland and northern ireland. sunshine and showers and cooler

airfollowing on behind. the rain band pushes into england and wales, dry until very late in the day across eastern england and those temperatures could be up as high as 25—26 celsius. that's probably going to be as warm as it's going to get over the week ahead. that weather front then moves away and we're all into cooler and fresher air as we move into thursday once again. and that probably means some sunshine. the odd shower in the southeast of england but otherwise most of the wet weather coming in from the atlantic will be in the northwest of scotland. for many it's going to be a dry day on thursday, and those temperatures nearaverage, isuppose, for this time of the year, around 20—22 celsius or so. as we head towards the end of the week this is the weather pattern, low to the north, high to the south, and this is the jet stream which is going to pile in more weather fronts from off the atlantic and that's going to bring more rain to northern and western areas of the uk, more cloud coming in to england and wales but the southeast still looks dry and here temperatures will be up to around 23 celsius or so, but again we're going to be struggling at around 18 in the rain, in the central belt of scotland. now, it's worth looking at the rainfall accumulation over the next few days because whilst it's going to be

unsettled and there is rain in the forecast, as you can see, where we've got hosepipe bans in the southeast there really isn't going to be any rain to speak of at all. a low pressure to the north, high pressure to the south, but that low pressure isn't really going to go anywhere, it's just going to spiral around in the same sort of spot, it'll be accompanied by some brisk winds at times and it'll keep wetter weather across more northern and some western parts of the uk but towards the south—east, it's not going to be very wet at all, there'll be some sunshine, temperatures near average, the heat, the humidity is not set to return.
