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 and utilities for us 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 his tone as he talked just one sas 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 apiece really williams but she's found the form the 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 her 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 as 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 the williams tightened up by game in the second it was too little too late i ever fell for the

groundwork have victory was confirmed one champion congratulating a new one at the next character is 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 actually a camera some disappointment of course first arena 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 in the right twenty fifth of this tournament 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 minutes 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 this is 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 here she is at the final of wimbledon and it just goes to show that serena williams is without

a doubt the best in the world of tennis yeah 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 when he anybody who's expecting more than two goals today will be bitterly disappointed because games he has for belgium as you mentioned winning two nil the first goal coming in the fourth minute will see the ball comes from the goalkeeper people good people. and even nasa traveling here. whipping in the cross it's from us i mean yeah it's the first and fourth minutes i there were chances of both sides after this but since belgium who came out on top in the second goal in the eighty second minute you see the past the to get in has other cats and to know the belgium needs a second of it the best ever finished world 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 you are 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 that color behind this is quite fishy this is a golden generation of belgium players you go ahead and you have kevin the point of common 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 some latinas their coach he's proved in his club career that he's not been very good in the league bank 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've seen in these will overseas players they don't want to rely on the toilet anymore wanted to rely on working as a team becoming a group of players that they would do anything you want to your results the standards of the money percent were going to very good stuff around them but they

wanted to make the country proud and they wanted to make every single belgian red devil fun extremely proud and not go for the. all right so much he is 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 there they would do incredibly well many fans not thinking they get past the group stage and here they did it they made it in semifinals of course losing to quatre unfortunately but they had that penalty win against colombia for the first time since ninety six that had sheaves that but all the teams off of the group say it's going to sussed out what england's game play was which is quite often from set pieces nothing of the twelve goals they scored of the world cup so far came from set pieces that some have to improve on captain harry came one of those players who schooled five this is what

he had to say after the final whistle today shows in some of the game show that there's still room for improvement. we've said that we don't know what we're not a finished off yet we still got everything going. but you know this group of guys i know that i want to get i want to improve every every time but you never. have it harry kane saying he wants to improve in 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 semi final final any time soon well one more honor that perhaps harry kane 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 one corresponding can and back pay both of whom on three goals and would need to score a hat trick 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 tomorrow solely of course that nick mckenna clive bundy dillies for it's always good to talk to you. and you're watching d.w. news more coming at the top of the hour and meantime you can always get the latest news and information on our web site that's bad news dot com american and steam thanks for watching. great yourself. your design channel on. under. the hour thank you was a symbol. thank you. somebody was my hero to do so so here everybody around the world is named stoops and.
