take the first set six to watch the five time champion blitz the second six one and broke at the start of the third for three love lead yet the twenty three year old fought back wrapping up his first career win over serena three times third straight we're going to find. on wednesday in the men's draw twenty four c.d.'s a nano bitch faced mukesh bhatt in the first ever grand slam meeting between two polish men you know which took the first set seven five and a return to the upper hand over his davis cup team mate to win three sets going to the last four. and on thursday the city again triumphed in a gripping lady semifinal before overcoming false lead and last year's beaten finalist but i danced six four two six nine seven in a thrilling third set is it's he recovered from three love down to lead five four and so for the match but was broken leading to six more games before the german

finally did win its to reach her first grand slam final. however despite all her earlier heroics lisicki was powerless to stop frenchwoman marion bartoli from dominating the ladies' final the fifteenth seed had been runner up to venus williams in two thousand and seven but made few mistakes against the german producing and periods display wrapping up a six one six four victory with a nice to win her first grand slam title a record longest forty seventh attempt. doing everything world i was moving well i was returning well i mean the. i really played a wonderful match so it's really amazing to win wimbledon and also playing well as well you just. just had a motive on the sea while the men showpiece was a thrilling battle between the world's top two was andy murray became britain's first male champion since nine hundred thirty six with a hard fought three set victory over number one novak djokovic after three hours

and ten minutes in searing heat the twenty six year old scott converted his fourth championship point in a dramatic final game to win six four seven five six four and play his second major title after also beating joke of it in the u.s. open final last year. but i worked so hard not low skill it was the hardest hardest few points about the player my life. and i knew it was it was a different different match the u.s. open and no one in wimbledon is. i just can't believe it techno my head round. germany that. now from an unbelievable much to a tasty match up after a mixed martial arts star alexander yonkers lived up to his nickname of the grim reaper stopping brazilian jersey odigo gallacher in the first round of his first ever cage fight the much anticipated bat between the russian and his twenty seven year old opponent lasted just four minutes and eight seconds you know yanick is

only of a fight this year saw him stop american pops up with a t.k.o. victory and again he made light work of the brazilian who was at last for the first bell a flurry of powerful blows opened up cut his nose and a referee had seen enough while thirty one year old evil young code could also return to the ring after during his only boxing match so far four years ago. if i get any offers from boxing promoter i'll consider them but as of now my animation is really busy i don't even have time to rest after this fight i've got just one day to relax before going back to training and even next year is already planned out. and let's move to boxing as russian fighter video is set to put his w.p.a. and i.b.o. light welterweight titles on the line when he faces local veteran suliman mowbray in wanna go on july the thirteenth probably not on ian has this preview. eighteen

professional belts eighteen wins with eight of them claimed by way of nokia out the boxing record of russia's top light welterweight. is just flawless the drug is stunning hoke also known as king have beeb has already proved he's proud nickname in style claiming the i.b.o. crown in june twentieth in moscow and then add you know previously unbeaten one little tyson guzman in miami for the w.b. a belt in november that year but the mission is still far from complete now we have more goal was to become the world champion and i did you know i want even more to beat all the top guys in this way class and win the w.b.c. title it's the most important build for me so far it's been dining or see his hands however he's got some serious business to contend with on the way out there on july the thirteenth the thirty year old will put both of his titles on the line in monte

carlo against french veteran and former w.b. a super lightweight jam band suliman my ear. so it was sort of i don't care if i'm the underdog or the favorite for the fight it's not worth thinking of at all or i need to know it's my opponent is strong and weak points is a technical fighter who has great skills good counterpunching i'm sure this is how he will try to catch me. age and speed will definitely be on the russian side. eight years younger and much more explosive and his coach john david jackson is sure the hawk will be there to shine i think in this fight here. i think you can stop can. you know follow me into all the fight or even active i don't think yeah you the power to keep them so i think that will be to really shine georgian talent from the public oh dear physically

a favorite to win the bout but what also matters is whether he'll be able to put on a great show as this is the only way to keep up to the standards of some of the sports greats for your money and duran this is tenacity to the fact that the press oppression is going to keep the pressure on him he never stops you know the punches are coming from everywhere the desire to be cheery very hard in and around to run our robots very artsy moscow. now at the world athletics championships here in moscow just a month away fans could be in for a mouth watering spring jewel as you say in bolt ons tyson gay dominated their respective diamond league meetings last week after making another from boy intentions in paris six times olympic champion bolt blew away the failed of his favorite events the two hundred meters as the world record holder ran the fastest time at the nineteen point seven three seconds hold off fellow jamaican warren we're told shaved one hundredth of a second off the previous best set by guy at the american trials last month and

says he still has room for improvement. i think i could have done better i wanted to have done better but it's just one of those things you never get what you wish for sometimes but a positive thing is that i know i need to work on a few things i need to work on i have a lot more time to work on it so i saw the positives. but before that gary laid down the marker in the one hundred meters as the former world champion at pace to make an a softer power in the sand gave posted nine point seven nine seconds for the second best time of the season after also notching up the fastest result of nine point seven five last month. well staying with speed and formula one champion sebastian vettel remains on course for his full straight title as the red bull driver won his home grand prix in germany for the first time you'll be on his mercy a car spectacularly caught fire early on but that'll help a former champion kimi reichen after the third overtook his latest teammate

groeschel under orders with five laps to go at the no they're going so half way through the season vettel leads binondo alonso by thirty four points at the top of the standings what i can in seven points at the back. right here was that you have to go very well that's a fast right should i. be unbelievable risk in me was pushing very very hard in the end and obviously they tried to do something different with different combo the tires i think we had a very solid very controlled race but i was pushing i think every single up except the loves behind the safety car very happy with the result and incredible to to finally win in germany and let's finish with major sport with running to a car trunks champion edward nicholai of leading the line up russia's most grueling rally the still quade got underway on friday of some of the world's best off road races set off from red square the guy charles reports. and here we are at the
