the wimbledon triumph seals a remarkable come back from barty. she wasn't sure she would be fit enough to compete in this year's grass grand slam. and jonathan, a crane from dw sport that joined me now to discuss in the women's wimbledon a final something to talk through the match. yeah, i mean finds that you got their money for the revision on clarity for women's final 2012 went all the way to 3 sets of why it didn't really look like it was going to be like that from the start. we can take a look at some of the action here because the bought erased out of the blocks. you won the 1st 14 points, actually want to 1st a quite easy fix free. but it was a clay from the 2nd of a nice to steady her sound a little bit. this is in a hybrid incredible point. this one will eventually when you make it go back bad. but a mass different piece that was 76 to her. and it's high break. more know, as you might expect, the deciding that both players making that day doing it. but in final, that was party. who got it over the line after the break of stat and that, th

here's ash barty, the top—seeded women's player, on centre court. look again.ous australian, the great evonne goolagong, who first won wimbledon 50 years ago. history and progress. well, barty reached the third round with a straight sets win against anna blinkova. and in her own, calm way, she must have ambitions to be champion. it is important to stay balanced so it is important to stay balanced so i will mention in passing that 18—year—old british player will be in action soon. roger federer is dominant over richard gasquet. if he does when he gets to play cam norrie. it is almost sunny, i think tonight we could be done before dark. perfect queue into the weather. time for a look at the weather here's chris fawkes. most of us have had sunshine and dry weather, not a bad start tojuly. weather, not a bad start to july. gorgeous in padstow, cornwall. there have been isolated showers popping up, in wales, southern england and there are some of those shower clouds starting to bubble up around hampshire area. further downpours over the next hour or two in abda. in

do you think ash barty could actually emerge as the winner in the women's side? 0h, absolutely!at the french open from that hip injury. and through her four matches, she makes it look like she is doing 0k, and her wins were convincing so far. she should probably go in as the favourite for every match she plays for the remainder of this tournament. a quick word about the men. no surprises, djokovic is through. federer is through but it wasn't easy, but straight sets in the end? but there is no—one but novak djokovic for the men's — to win the men's singles, is there? i think if novak djokovic loses, it will likely be to himself — beating himself. there are some capable players in the final that are still there. matteo berrettini, the winner of queen's club is really emerging as a solid player on grass. but i think djokovic is still ahead of the field and pulling his way over christian garin today was very convincing. and so not many signs of slowing down at this point in the tournament. ben rothenberg. thanks for watching. hello there. monday was drierfor a while across england a
