a wimbledon title beating american tennis legend serena williams and here with me in the studio to break it all down is nick mechanic life force nick good to see you so i heard earlier that kara described this win as a dream come true how did she do it she's been fantastic for this tournament she talked just one stance on the way to the final that was in the second round is a quick match and it took about an hour and five minutes to beat serena williams but she's found the fullness she had in two thousand and sixteen when she won the australian open the u.s. open and weeks the final of wimbledon where she lost to syria with him so she finally got the better of it this time around let's see how she won her third grand slam title. one never won here the other has seven wimbledon titles to her name but she found she kept after overruled by serina williams out of the occasion on center court she didn't show it the germans tactic of forcing her opponent to make errors paid dividends in the first set and then williams tightened up again in the second it was too little tonight. i ever fell to the ground where i have

victory was confirmed one champion congratulating a new one at the net characters the first german woman since steffi graf in one thousand nine hundred ninety six to get her hands on the wimbledon title. so really an exciting day for edge of the camera some disappointment of course for serena williams but it must be said she just had a baby ten months ago i mean even this if she meant is really remarkable isn't it absolutely incredible she's only right twenty fifth of this total and even to make a tournament without having had a baby within the last year to make the final is incredible enough she hadn't got past the last sixteen in the previous four twenty mins she'd taken part in and of course yes it was a big disappointment but she said at the time this is for all the mothers out there and it's true you can see if you put your mind to it what you can achieve and it is incredible september first of last year she gave birth to alexis limpia and then ten and a half months later he she is the final of wimbledon and it just goes to show that

serena williams is without a doubt the best in the world of tennis you have very inspiring for all of us mothers i can say that now. there was another major sporting event today can tell you at our place we were flipping back and forth between the two channels watching the tennis and then of course also watching world cup soccer belgium winning third place knocking england right out to nail tell us about that match and then when he anybody who's expecting more than two goals today will be bitterly disappointed because given has four belgium as you mentioned winning two nil the first goal coming in the fourth minute will see he have the ball comes from the goalkeeper people good people. and even as a child to him. whipping in the cross it's from us i mean yeah it's the for us in the fourth minutes i there were chances of both sides after this but it was belgium who came out and talked and in the second goal in the eighty second minutes we see the past the two it in has of the cats and two new belgium in the eighty second minute that the best ever finished well cup and so now they've managed fourth place

that was ninety six and today they go home with bronze medals around the next you know i often wonder how the teams feel about getting third place i mean they were so close to making it to the final but can they look forward to a bright future if they did this well at this tournament absolutely and in fact color behind is quite fishy this is a golden generation of belgium players. you have kevin the point of all men and new kaku fantastic individual players who are playing as a team and doing so fantastically well for belgium but the key to me is to keep them about the martinez their coach he's proved in his top career that he's not been very good in the league but in cup competitions he's been very very good he can also get his team to play on one off games and you see mr belgium as well so much seen as was full of support and praise for his team out of the final whistle but we soon these will overseas players didn't want to rely on that solid anymore wanted to rely on working as a team becoming our group of players that they would do anything to watch you presume it's the standards of the minute percent we're going to very good stuff

around them but they wanted to make the country proud and they wanted to make every single belgium red devil fun extremely proud and not go for the. all right so martinez talking about how important teamwork is you and i were talking earlier about didn't really work for the german team this time around at the world cup not such good teamwork the belgians can be very proud of that. but then at the same time must be said england did very well they did surprise everybody including perhaps themselves where do they go from here is the same as those in their ways up they would do incredibly well many fans not thinking they get past the group stage and here they did it they made it inside the finals of course losing to quatre unfortunately but they have that penalty win against colombia for the first time since ninety six that it saved that but all the teams off of the group say it's kind of sussed out what england's game play was which is quite often from set pieces nine of the twelve goals they scored at the world cup so far came from set pieces that some have to improve on captain harry came one of those plays the school of life this is what he had to say after the final whistle. today shows in

some of the game show that there's no room for improvement. we said no no no we're not the finished off yet we're still that ever since. but you know with this group of guys i know that i want to get i want to prove every every time but you're going to. have it hurricane saying he wants to improve the whole team have to improve and it really does have to come from him as well as the captain and the main striker has to step up again if england want to reach a semifinal final any time soon well one more honor that perhaps harry cain could be winning is of course the golden boot just how good are his chances for that he's been very lucky he scored five goals from set pieces three of those coming from penalties and the two people catch up with him up playing some more in the final that's on to increase launching in and back bay both of whom are on three goals and would need to score a hatrick to overtake him which would be very very difficult because the last time that happens was in the world cup final in one thousand nine hundred sixty six jeff scoring three pos germany then so it's very unlikely that they'll catch up with him so he'll go home with the gold so nick i know you're going to be watching the match
