6:35 pm
wta tour and it was quite a small one if you is back so this was a hugejump upfor one if you is back so this was a hugejump up for her and she was able to hold her nerve, play beautifully with so much finesse and feel and then she would inject pace and she just really disrupted the play of 0ns jabeur and she did and she just really disrupted the play of 0nsjabeur and she did a masterfuljob, she really deserved to win. masterful “ob, she really deserved to win. ., . , ., to win. how much did it help that the expectation _ to win. how much did it help that the expectation wasn't _ to win. how much did it help that the expectation wasn't on - to win. how much did it help that the expectation wasn't on her - the expectation wasn't on her shoulders? she only won four matches on grass prior to these championships. beat five seeded players, was very close to going out againstjessica pegula. even this final, the talk was about on stubble, not about to marketa vondrousova and that seem to help? i agree with you. everything was on 0ns jabeur. she is the favourite, she is going to win, she has won a few titles on grass. she is the better grass court player. she lost in the final last year and how much she wants it and what this would mean to her. and for vondrousova, it was really helpful that she didn't feel the pressure. she went out and played with freedom. she is
6:36 pm
unseeded, 42 in the world, most unlikely for her to take the final and actually win the title so i think that really helped to free her up think that really helped to free her up and 1's job was tied up think that really helped to free her up and 1'sjob was tied up in knots and when you are tied up in knots, you want the ball to come at you hard and fast like 0ns jabeur has played the last three or four opponents so you are just reacting. what vondrousova did, she slows down the pace and now 0ns jabeur has to dictate the pace and have the racket speed which is much more difficult to do when you are tight.— to do when you are tight. people like me can _ to do when you are tight. people like me can watch _ to do when you are tight. people like me can watch it _ to do when you are tight. people like me can watch it and - to do when you are tight. people like me can watch it and say - to do when you are tight. people like me can watch it and say that person wants it too much. can you want it too much? is that possible? 0r want it too much? is that possible? or i think so. often, there are someplace you don't have the skill level to win a major but there are some that are right... some that you think, on grass, if he doesn't win here, he is going to win so many majors. he is ready when the us open. but there are some that are 0pen. but there are some that are right on the cusp and she is 28. she might be squeezing a little bit too tight and that is where the problem is for her right now. she has grown
6:37 pm
so much because she worked with a mental coach. she says that she was winning matches here at wimbledon, the last three matches that she played, she lost the first set and came back to win. she said she has grown so much in the last six months. shejust has grown so much in the last six months. she just has to grown so much in the last six months. shejust has to pick grown so much in the last six months. she just has to pick to grown so much in the last six months. shejust has to pick to head down, blinders on and continue to try to improve. yes or no, do you think she can win this wimbledon title,? we know she think she can win this wimbledon title, ? we know she can, think she can win this wimbledon title,? we know she can, will she? i hope so. she was a crowd favourite and she came back and won it five is later so i do think on stripper well. ,, , later so i do think on stripper well. . , ., later so i do think on stripper well. ,, , ., ., later so i do think on stripper well. . , ., ., .,, well. she will be one of the most --oular well. she will be one of the most popular champions _ well. she will be one of the most popular champions we _ well. she will be one of the most popular champions we have - well. she will be one of the most popular champions we have ever| well. she will be one of the most - popular champions we have ever have here if you can get herself over the line. you mentioned alcaraz a short while ago. let's talk a little about him. his first wimbledon final, djokovic's night. we know the numbers are djokovic and all the different types of history he is chasing. from carlos alcaraz�*s perspective, this is his first wimbledon title. what will hill be he feeling like and how would you

6:40 pm
history, it is a third consecutive doubles title for him. he won the mixed doubles title last year and now it is the men's doubles, he is the first man to win both of those titles. since the 1920s, only the second british man to win the men's doubles in the open era and the man from liverpool has been telling us what it means to him to make history. what it means to him to make histo . ,, ., .,' ., what it means to him to make histo . ,, ., ., i. history. starting off a young boy, at palmerston _ history. starting off a young boy, at palmerston tennis _ history. starting off a young boy, at palmerston tennis club - history. starting off a young boy, at palmerston tennis club in - at palmerston tennis club in liverpool, with my... applause yeah, going out there is a small boy with my dad, obviously growing up with my dad, obviously growing up with my dad, obviously growing up with my brother. he's been very influential in my career growing up. yeah, this feeling at the moment doesn't get better. me and wesley came together 18 months ago. this year, this was one of my goals to win a grand slam and now we have done it. it feels very special.

neal skupski and neal sku pski and wesley neal skupski and wesley koolof had gone close, just haven't won that major title, gone close, just haven't won that majortitle, now gone close, just haven't won that major title, now it is in their hands. talking of major titles and in the hands, we have to talk about alfie hewett and gordon reid because they have won their fifth wimbledon men's wheelchair doubles title together, beating their opponents in what was a thrilling final. the top seeds coming from behind to win 3—6, 6-0, 6-3. with seeds coming from behind to win 3—6, 6—0, 6—3. with injuries, they have barely played together this year and yet they are doubles champions again. it has been a busy day for alfie hewett and gordon reid. alfie hewett is into the men's singles final here as well. job done for him on the fourth match point in the end against his opponents. beating him in straight sets to reach that final on court 0ne. seven grand slam singles titles for alfie but this is the one that is missing. this is the one that he is desperate for and he will pray for it tomorrow.
6:42 pm
unfortunately, won't be against gordon reid, though, because gordon reid has gone out of the singles. the 2016 champion here, of course and he was beaten by the top seed. 0ne and he was beaten by the top seed. one of the men he beat in the doubles, the world number one who just won the french open beating alfie hewett. they will play each other tomorrow for the chance to be wimbledon champion for the first time in both of their cases. we look forward to that, we also look forward to that, we also look forward to that, we also look forward to alcaraz— djokovic. more on that later in the programme but let's hand back to the bbc sport centre and paul scott. away from wimbledon and the biggest football transfer of the summer so far has been confirmed. arsenal have signed england midfielder declan rice from west ham for an initialfee of £100 million. that could rise to £105 million with add—ons. jane dougall reports.

6:53 pm
a batter in the same manner that saw him dismiss england'sjonny bairstow if the opportunity arose again. the australian wicketkeeper rolled the ball on to the stumps to take the wicket of his counterpart, who had left the crease thinking the over had ended. when he ducked, his first movements was pretty much out of his crease so i instinctively grabbed the ball, through the stumps down and the rest is history, as they say. i guess once the bales come off, it is up to the third umpire to deem it out or not out. or the on field umpires as well. it was given out and, yeah, to see how much has played out since then has been a little bit surprising. then has been a little bit surprising-— then has been a little bit surrisinu. . �*, ., ., surprising. that's all we have time for at the bbc _ surprising. that's all we have time for at the bbc sport _ surprising. that's all we have time for at the bbc sport centre. - so let's head back to wimbledon and chetan. this has been a day where marketa vondrousova has made history by becoming the first unseeded player

something that federer and nadal didn't do and that is when all four majors in the same year. carlos alcaraz, already us open champion, canny ad wimbledon? we will find out tomorrow. from me in the team, good night. hello there. summer holiday season in full swing. but the weather is certainly not playing ball at the moment. take a look at denbighshire a few hours ago, some of the showers really quite torrential. and they have been quite widespread as well across the country. we are now mid—way throuthuly. and you are right in thinking it's been a wet month. in fact, all of us have seen above—average rainfall, and there is little to indicate that we are going to see any significant change, certainly through this week. take a look at this. this is rainfall accumulation for the next few days, the darker blues denoting where we are going to see the heaviest of the rain. at least another 50 millimetres

to come for many of us over the next few days, adding to the totals we've already seen this month. low pressure is with us, then, to the north—west and circling around that low like a catherine wheel are these weather fronts that have been driving in plenty of showers, driven along by some blustery south—west winds. so some of the showers you can see, have merged together in bands, organised lanes, so showers or longer spells of rain throughout the day. some of those showers will fade through the evening and overnight, but there's still the risk of the odd rumble of thunder in those showers and more widespread rainfall, perhaps, across the north—west of scotland. 0vernight lows between 12 and 14 degrees. into sunday, the low pressure finally pulls away off to scandinavia. the winds will start to ease a touch and a north—westerly direction will be more of a feature in scotland. that's going to continue to feed in rain across north and west—facing coasts. elsewhere, still the risk of some showers, but hopefully lighter and not quite as widespread as the last couple of days.

the winds will be a feature, but not as strong either. so gusts of winds generally at around 35, maybe just 40 miles an hour, but certainly easing down as the day continues. top temperatures for sunday afternoon still a little bit subdued for this time of year — 17 to 21 celsius the high. looking further ahead, as we go into monday, a little ridge of high pressure quietens things down for a time before more wet weather set to arrive on tuesday, pushing in from the west. so if you start off dry, it is not going to last. and the outlook continues with sunny spells and scattered showers and those temperatures a little bit below par for this time of year.
