6:37 pm
sticking out these matches like never before and i think so much of it is because of what is happening in her homeland.— it is because of what is happening in her homeland. which years this perspeetive _ in her homeland. which years this perspeetive that — in her homeland. which years this perspective that she _ in her homeland. which years this perspective that she is _ in her homeland. which years this perspective that she is doing - in her homeland. which years this perspective that she is doing it. in her homeland. which years this j perspective that she is doing it for more than herself but actually winning a tennis match. this is what she is about any more. she's doing for ukraine and also being a mother. her hand seems looser, she is enjoying it more. there is a freedom and they talked about this as well, it's and they talked about this as well, its english playing somebody else when she had that match. it's english playing somebody else when she had that match.- when she had that match. playing five times before _ when she had that match. playing five times before and _ when she had that match. playing five times before and they - when she had that match. playing five times before and they had - when she had that match. playing | five times before and they had won all five in this was something different, the way svitolina was down in that final match type brick, 7-4 down in that final match type brick, 7—4 and just doug and and based on the last point, i think looking at the full picture for svitolina, very happy and her personal life, a great
6:38 pm
new coach that is really helped her decide that she has the weapons to be more aggressive in today's game, she is a former semifinalist and she knows us to use those weapons and we knows us to use those weapons and we know that it's just a point or two that can make a difference they think the cloud today also helped, playing number one in the world, they were not against her but they can relate to the story of svitolina.— can relate to the story of svitolina. ,, , , ., ., svitolina. she said she is going to have a beer _ svitolina. she said she is going to have a beer tonight. _ svitolina. she said she is going to have a beer tonight. that - svitolina. she said she is going to have a beer tonight. that is - svitolina. she said she is going to have a beer tonight. that is so . have a beer tonight. that is so relatable- _ have a beer tonight. that is so relatable. making _ have a beer tonight. that is so relatable. making sure - have a beer tonight. that is so relatable. making sure that. have a beer tonight. that is so | relatable. making sure that she have a beer tonight. that is so - relatable. making sure that she gets that because — relatable. making sure that she gets that because we _ relatable. making sure that she gets that because we did _ relatable. making sure that she gets that because we did not _ relatable. making sure that she gets that because we did not think - relatable. making sure that she gets that because we did not think she i that because we did not think she was country plank here on thursday and mistress of a quick mention on the quarterfinals, she has to figure this thing out, she is too good to not end up winning this one day. she is 14 majors —
6:39 pm
not end up winning this one day. sue: is 14 majors or not end up winning this one day. sie: is 14 majors or she not end up winning this one day. si2 is 14 majors or she has time to get set up in the biggest stroke in the game beforehand. but she has not conquered how to play and use of weapons on brass and there is a very big take—back and the important knows that they can break down but swiatek it sometimes doesn't have a perfect bounce on brass and svitolina was still very crafty and putting in some spends in staying low, she did not give swiatek the same shot at the same level all the time thomas was a master class for svitolina and again, swiatek had never made it to the quarter, i believe one day she will win it because she is too good an athlete not to stop at moving at a grand slam in the sixth attempt, winning this one and three. it was
6:40 pm
vondrousova, i think whenjessica was up 4—1 and a point, break point to go in the third set in total control, she had when the second set 6-2 control, she had when the second set 6—2 in the way she was going to break that barrierfive 6—2 in the way she was going to break that barrier five major quarterfinals and never been to the semifinals but it was vondrousova at that time, it seemed like she just freed up and tried everything else, i'm just going to start crushing the ball in her surface much better, or strokes are powerful when she took it. all credit to her and have to say that she played well but unseeded finalist because we have vondrousova and we have svitolina who was a wild card because she came back and wasn't even high enough to get rent from her maternity leave. we have reaching the semifinal, that

good evening. the shower clouds menacing in the menai straits behind me earlier today. it has been a day of contrasts, really. the sunshine between the showers, but when they've come along, we've had some really torrential downpours, lots of thunder and lightning, some hail in there as well. a rather more persistent band of rain still across the north of scotland. the showers perhaps fading a little later this evening and overnight across england and wales, but some more persistent rain potentially pushing through northern ireland into southern scotland, again back into north wales and northern england. i think we've lost the humidity, so a more comfortable night for sleeping. but those breezes, that brisk wind will continue to push those showers eastwards overnight and into wednesday with that low pressure close by. perhaps a little respite in the south on thursday, but not for long. the next area of wet and windy weather comes in by the end of the week and then lingers into the weekend.
6:58 pm
we're set in this trend, really, at the moment of really very unsettled weather. so wednesday dawning with a little bit of sunshine, but the shower cloud soon gets going and they'll be heavy and frequent across northern ireland, scotland, northern england. and there will be showers further south as well. almost nowhere exempt from them, so when they come along, they will move through on that brisk wind coming from the west or the north—west. so it'll feel fresher, but as i say there is still the chance of some showers disrupting the play on wednesday at wimbledon, for example, because they will be coming through on that brisk breeze at times. squally winds and downpours continue into the evening. they fade a little, then, as we head towards thursday morning in southern areas. again, a pleasant night for sleeping having lost that humidity, fairly cool i should imagine in the suburbs, perhaps into single figures. but that ridge of high pressure's really only around in southern areas. still some heavy showers further north. and then this next area of low pressure pushes back in with some more persistent rain and a bout more persistent rain and a bout of strong winds again for friday. of strong winds again for friday. but for thursday, again plenty but for thursday, again plenty of showers, slow—moving and heavy of showers, slow—moving and heavy with the slightly less windy weather with the slightly less windy weather in the north.
6:59 pm
perhaps fewer showers in the south, in the north. but there'll still be some around. with a bit more sunshine, with a bit more sunshine, temperatures will be a little higher. and then into friday, temperatures will be as our next area of low pressure winds itself in, pressure winds itself in, it will give another spell of quite heavy and thundery rain, it will give another spell of quite strong winds to go with it and following some heavy showers. and following some heavy showers. and you can see it stays unsettled and you can see it stays unsettled for the most part into the early for the most part into the early part of next week as well. part of next week as well. live from london. live from london. this is bbc news. this is bbc news. a second person makes allegations a second person makes allegations about the bbc presenter about the bbc presenter at the centre of claims over sexually explicit photos. it comes as the corporation says two attempts were made, over several weeks, to contact the family at the centre of the initial complaint.
