the financier lester and she was plain also us open finals, so she is used to plan financing a grand slam. maybe it's a good thing that gives me more — maybe it's a good thing that gives me more confidence to be ready for the final— me more confidence to be ready for the final and also getting that written — the final and also getting that written of plain gray tennis to be ready— written of plain gray tennis to be ready for— written of plain gray tennis to be ready for the next match. looking forward to that one smart, one woman who knows what it's like to prepare for a woman wimbledon final and winning is a 1994 champion conchita martinez, she has now been named tournament director for the billiejean king cup finals and i caught up with her earlier today and started by asking herfor caught up with her earlier today and started by asking her for her thoughts on tomorrow's women's final. my my advice would be keep doing what you're doing, keep your tunes, try to be as quiet as you can for the

final. she's an amazing player, very talented, being a lefty, if her serve is working and anglos, i think she has great chance but then we have ons jabeur on the other side who is a magician. she can slice, she can hit hard with the forehand, her serve has been working good and i think it would be a great final. i'm looking forward to it. what i think it would be a great final. i'm looking forward to it. what have ou made i'm looking forward to it. what have you made of— i'm looking forward to it. what have you made of 0ns — i'm looking forward to it. what have you made of ons jabeur, _ i'm looking forward to it. what have you made of ons jabeur, you - you made of ons jabeur, you mentioned the magician and the tricks. she seems to have arraigned some of it back at times and come closer to sabalenka and others. we weren't sure if she could match what she did but here she is again. what have you made of her mindset this time around? i have you made of her mindset this time around?— have you made of her mindset this time around? i think she's doing an amazin: time around? i think she's doing an amazing job. _ time around? i think she's doing an amazing job, she's _ time around? i think she's doing an amazing job, she's growing - time around? i think she's doing an amazing job, she's growing as - time around? i think she's doing an amazing job, she's growing as a - amazing job, she's growing as a player. in the last 3—4 years it's amazing the changes that she's done.

physically, when she's in good condition she can get to the ball early enough to hit and you don't need to play on the streets all the time, you can hurt your opponents but i think she did it a bit too much in the finals last year and this year we've already seen that her game plan is very clear and she's doing great. it her game plan is very clear and she's doing great.— her game plan is very clear and she's doing great. it may not be fair for me to _ she's doing great. it may not be fair for me to ask— she's doing great. it may not be fair for me to ask it, you - she's doing great. it may not be fair for me to ask it, you don't l fairfor me to ask it, you don't have to answer it, do you have someone you would like to see when it's tomorrow?— it's tomorrow? you're right, i wouldn't _ it's tomorrow? you're right, i wouldn't answer _ it's tomorrow? you're right, i wouldn't answer that. - it's tomorrow? you're right, i wouldn't answer that. have i it's tomorrow? you're right, i wouldn't answer that. have a | it's tomorrow? you're right, i - wouldn't answer that. have a great final, it would be a consideration for women's tennis, we want to be a good match and i'll there watching. how did it change things for you in 1994 when in the title here? it’s 1994 when in the title here? it's one more _ 1994 when in the title here? it�*s one more tournaments, a very special one more tournaments, a very special one to win a grand slam, it's always the biggest thing, so, you know, it

was great for my career. i went on to another few finals, a grand was great for my career. i went on to anotherfew finals, a grand slam, winning 33 titles, but if you ask me, winning wimbledon was the best. we managed of find the five minutes today where it wasn't raining to speak to conchita martinez who wasn't even anything away about who she would like to see when the final tomorrow afternoon, no down under the roof of the centre court, because more rain expected, play cancel for today which means alfie hewett and gordon reed would have to wait to play their singles semifinals but they will be paying the with your doubles finals tomorrow as he looked to get there when the zones fight title back. and neil scott ski going in the men's doubles finals tomorrow. but we also know know that men's final complete for sunday and it will be the two best players in the world know that

djokovic against carlos alcaraz which promises to be a cracker. people are making their way home, and having there was he knew more tennis, it's a wet weekend and sore but should be no let up with the drama either. for me and the team here, thanks for watching, good night. hello there. plants in the garden are starting to look very healthy these days. unfortunately, we can't go out and enjoy it because there's been quite a lot of rain around, hasn't there? so it's like this throughout friday afternoon with some significant puddles on the roads. now, this area of low pressure is not only with us for the rest of the day, but also into the majority of saturday as well. it's been pushing heavy rain further north and east. it's also brought some blustery winds with it as well. this has been the story so far today, that rain is now starting to move towards the scottish borders and it will continue to do so through the early evening.

in fact, once it gets into scotland it may well linger in the far north, and that could have an impact locally with the potential for some flooding. quite a lot of cloud around elsewhere. temperatures will hold up, widely, into mid—teens first thing on saturday morning. so we're going to start off on a grey note for many on saturday. that low pressure still there and still squeezed, quite tightly packed, together. the isobars, strong winds, unseasonably windy for this time of year. the strongest of the winds on saturday likely to be across central and southern wales, along with central and southern england, 50—55 mph gusts of winds not out of the question. that is unusual for this time of year. and on top of that, spiralling around the low will be significant rash of showers, some of them heavy rumbles of thunder mixed in there. now, in between the showers, there will be some drier, brighter, maybe even sunny interludes. but the temperatures subdued for this time of year, 14—22 as the overall high.

now, as we move into sunday, it's likely that the low will drift away, but we still run the risk of more significant showers or longer spells of rain in the north west of scotland. sunny spells and scattered showers elsewhere, and as we go through the day for the rest of the country, hopefully the showers should start to ease. again, highsjust peaking into the low 20s. a little bit disappointing for this time of year. so it stays disappointing across the uk. but if you've already heard at the same time across much of the mediterranean, we've got heatwave conditions at the moment, with the hottest weather likely across the southeast mediterranean. if you are heading on your holidays into next week, that heat is going to continue through spain, through italy and also through greece.
