right now centre court feels a little empty without kyle edmund.son, bbc news, at wimbledon. now on bbc news — the travel show. this week on the travel show, we're in my hometown of london. i will be finding out

on centre court today, she was floored. she was swatted.lkova of slovakia bossed this match. as konta conceded, the british number one couldn't really get going, and in straight sets she was gone. katie boulter did herselfjustice against the world number 18, but naomi osaka beat her in straight sets. goodbye to her, too. kyle edmund — it's over to you. well, relax. edmund — at the bottom of the screen — largely controlled bradley klahn, forcing the american into mistakes. edmund is seeded 21, and by the end of his straight sets win centre court was believing in him. reserved by nature, edmund is now the centre of attention. if you're a british player at wimbledon, you sense that expectation. itjust grows around you. whether it inspires or intimidates, there's no escaping it. and edmund's next opponent? the three—time champion, novak djokovic. it's notjust about the world cup on saturday, you know. joe wilson, bbc news, at wimbledon. that's it from us. newsnight‘s starting over on bbc two. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm tim hague, comi

and someone wimbledon and centre court.re to see, there is a lot of pressure but there was c0 ntrove i’sy there is a lot of pressure but there was controversy about her seeding.” think the wimbledon committee got it right. i'm nota think the wimbledon committee got it right. i'm not a great fan of making a special rule for a player on the hoof but they were fortunate because they dusted off a few rule books and found a clause which allowed them to create a balanced drawer, which gave them the capacity to seed serena in these sort of exceptional cases and where they put as 25th seed, she is just one below maria sharapova, they we re just one below maria sharapova, they were not going to upset the top players, but i would say the majority of top players were pulling for serena to be seeded and she's not my favourite here but for many she is the favourite to win. who is your favourite? at the moment petra kvitova, i get it wrong but at the moment i would say petro. we have to talk about andy murray, no andy murray year. just n

no surprise he is on centre court.ds down. wouldn't it amazing if there was another repeat of the battle from 2008 between him and nadal? no andy murray, which hasn't put a dampener on it, because no better day than this. there were a lot of questions, andi this. there were a lot of questions, and i think people had a fair idea, because he is recovering from his hip injury. he has had major surgery. exactly. the thought of him being here, many people had doubts in january. can you show your fingernails? she has even done the wimbledon colours for her nails. we have all made the effort. we are trying to. great start so far. serena williams later on. making her comeback. apart from shock result. sloan stevens, the world number four. people expected her to do really rather well. but she has gone out to a brit. this has been a shock. many people very happy about this. no one was expecting this. that is her out. losing 6—1, 6—3. actually, it wasn't a brit, it was a slovakian. but someone outside the top 50. sloan stevens wa

once again serena reigns supreme on the centre court. this is only my fourth tournament back, i do not feel pressure, i do not feel i have to win this or lose this, i'm just here just to be here and prove i'm back. ifeelthat just here just to be here and prove i'm back. i feel that i'm just here just to be here and prove i'm back. ifeel that i'm back, just here just to be here and prove i'm back. ifeelthat i'm back, i still have a long way to go to be where i was. maybe not that far, just two more wins for the moment we have seen all too often on centre court. hugely impressive once again from serena williams considering it is just her first tournament since the birth of herfirst just her first tournament since the birth of her first child. joining her in the semifinals then is angelique kerber who beat daria kasatkina in straight sets today and jelena 0stapenko is also through after beating dominika cibulkova of slovakia. you may remember that she was not seeded after wimbledon decided to offer the seeding instead to serena williams. so

there are in action right now on centre court.a good news, and they are ones set up and in a tie—break on the second as they look to book that place in the semifinals of the men's doubles. gerry murray also in action in the mixed doubles alongside victoria azarenka. now a lot of interest in the world cup as you can imagine he read wimbledon. we spoke to kyle edmund earlier this week and he alongside his swedish coach have been following the progress of their respective nations at the world cup. and a few more familiar and famous faces have been following the tournament. none more so than former wimbledon champion gordon denisovich who has been somewhat put out by the confidence but somebody english supporters have been showing. you might be surprised to learn where he is going to be watching the game tomorrow. i hope we do not lose to the english because you are already in the final, coming home, ring the trophy, you are so arrogant that you're the best, the most beautiful full stop for sure you're coming home but without the trop

centre court at its finest. the worlds finest tennis players of course. two—time grand slam champion, but never at wimbledon. and elena stood quite vehemently for the early exchanges in her weight. the 21—year—old latvian won the french open last year and she too had eyes on another top prize. but as the opening set played out, it was kerber who forced the initiative. the young opponent struggled to return within the court and conceded the first set. she continued her assault into the second, showing her full continued her assault into the second, showing herfull array of talents. leaving pains to work out how she would get back into this and stop her stroke plate was just too wayward, constantly forcing the errors on her way to victory. once again. both herself out. the first to claim her ticket to the centre court. i am happy to be back. i was working for young kids and to stay here again and the final at wimbledon, it is great. the last time she was there, serena williams came out on top and once again, she has been leading the way at wimbledon. just f

whilst that drama was unfolding on centre court, over on court number three, there was another marathonwjust a step away from becoming the first british wimbledon boys' champion since 1962. and for the sixth time in seven years, there will be a murray in a wimbledon final. britain's jamie murray is through to the final of the mixed doubles with partner victoria azarenka. they beat british hopefuls harriet dart and jay clarke in straight sets. murray won the mixed doubles title last year with martina hingis. now, of course, it is the final of the women's singles later and serena williams is one win away from an eighth wimbledon title that would complete a fairytale return to the sport. she said she nearly died giving birth to her daughter in september of last year and now, fast—forward 10 months, the 36—year—old is on the verge of a record—equalling 2ath grand slam singles title. it isa it is a repeat of the final two yea rs it is a repeat of the final two years ago. she's up against germany's angelique kerber. this is the order of play then, very unusual. the nadal and djokovic semifina

all eyes will be on centre court for her later.ill be kyle edmund, her counterpart, who will be looking to work on his momentum following his victory on tuesday over alex bolt. he only has one main draw match here at wimbledon, so with the absence of andy murray as well, a lot of pressure on him, he takes on bradley plant later on centre court. but before that, the world number one, rafael nadal and centre court right now. all the action on the website. thank you very much, holly. let's head to russia, and the world cup, where england have an injury worry ahead of that quarterfinal against sweden. 0ur sports correspondent david 0rnstein is at england's base in repino. yes, england's base in repino. yes, england's first full training session today since they returned from that epic night in moscow on tuesday. it was behind closed doors, so we don't know a great deal about what happened, but we do thinkjamie vardy was not involved. he needed an injection for a groin problem he picked up towards the end of that match after coming on a

a return today on centre court, and the women's showpiece final will have to wait.ve to wait. serena williams aims to win a record equalling 24th grand slam title. there are some moments when i'm out there and i'm thinking, i look at the crowd and i'm like, wow, this is so cold, i'm back here, i'm back again, this is such a great moment. —— this is so cool. i've really been enjoying this time. with the duchess is of sussex and cambridge in attendance, best not to keep them waiting. well, there is some good news already. alfie hewett and his british partner gordon reid have just won the men's wheelchair double title for a third year in a i’ow. double title for a third year in a row. and of course with so many of the top seeds in the women's draw going out in the early rounds, at least with an julie cooper going out in the early rounds, at least with anjulie cooper and serena williams we have a ladies final to come of real significance —— with angeli kerber. final to come of real significance -- with angeli kerber. thank you. now, football might not be coming home, bu

looking very determined on centre court.ledon will be the final one for legendary bbc commentator barry davies after 33 years behind the mic at sw19. but he may be rather distracted here tomorrow with a certain england game taking place tomorrow.. you might remember it was davies who was commentator when gareth southgate mised that penalty in euro 1996 but davies feels that disappointment has helped make him a success as national team boss. he has done an excellentjob with the england team in his approach. he knows the younger players and seems to be saying and doing all the right things. if we lose to sweden, i hope people don‘t get down on it, because, there is a change in the attitude of the england team, the england players, who appreciate the crowds that follow them, and that has not always been the case of one 01’ has not always been the case of one or two players. so, think it would bea or two players. so, think it would be a good omen for the next europeans, or maybe for the world cup afterwards, if we win, wonderful

it is hotter here at centre court than in samara.wo, three, four! # looking back on when we first met...# it's the terrace chant that's sweeping the nation. # southgate, you're the one, you still turn me on. # you can bring it home again! either in russian stadiums or english pubs, it's as ubiquitous as three lions. # southgate, you're the one...# and the new updated lyrics haven't escaped the england manager's notice. # football's coming home again! not as questionable as most of the lyrics of songs that have been sung about me in the past, frankly. so, um, no problem with that. long may that continue. # football's coming home again! no chance he's going to escape it over here either. a heatwave may have caused a water shortage in samara, but there's been an outpouring of love for the manager. southgate is the best thing that's happened to england lately. he's got a positive attitude, he's letting the players play the game the way it needs to be played. i can see absolutely no reason why we can't win the world cup now. they have to

all of that put together, she is a big champion to come on centre court.e finals of the major at the australian open in 2016. she has the credentials and the knowledge she has beaten serena at the big moment. this is her favourite service because she hits the ball so flat and hard. well, before that,we still need to sort out who'll be in the men's final. novak djokovic leads rafa nadal by two sets to one and they'll play to a finish on centre court from 1:00pm. the winner will face kevin anderson, who overcame john isner 26—24 in the other semi in a match that lasted more than six hours. so, here's a reminder of the order of play this afternoon on centre court. djokovic—nadal from 1:00pm, and not before 2:00pm, kerber versus williams. full coverage across bbc tv, radio and online from 11. some news coming out of chelsea in the last half hour. as widely expected, they have appointed former napoli boss maurizio sarri as manager on a three—year contract. yesterday it was confirmed that fellow italian antonio conte had left stamford bridge. sarri said he hoped
