centre court looking glorious, as his number one court.ect. the sun is out. a beautiful sunrise this morning. incredibly, it is ten years since andy murray won wimbledon. of course, he is playing tomorrow. the forecast this week for us all is quite unsettled. what we are expecting today is a —— the rain to continue in the far north of scotland. rain at the moment in northern ireland. that will push east and across parts of wales, northern england, the midlands and into the south—east. it will be showery rain. that is what we could catch this afternoon at wimbledon. behind that, we are back in sunshine and showers. a day for hanging onto your brolly. it is going to be breezy as well. particularly in the south, with top temperatures up to 20 degrees. tomorrow, after a cool start, the rain moves a little bit further south across northern scotland. more persistent rain coming into southern england overnight. that is going to drift into the south—east. a where to start full wimbledon tomorrow. as that rain clears away from the south—east, all o

ijust wanted to make sure we caught some actual tennis from centre court in time and we did, too— onerenka and elina svitolina ned decided there and as i think it's clawing her way back because she was 3— e—0 down. it is believed to as you have seen now and as a vicar has bitten svitolina in five the last five years played. —— azarenka has beaten svitolina. play from ukraine just came back from maternity leave now trying to reach the quarterfinals of the championships, both these players mothers, both reach the semifinals before and both of them are bringing out the best in each other. look at that at the net. azarenka with that touch getting the job done to win that game. you can stay across all of this across the bbc and all of this happening with novak djokovic still to come on the defending champion against hugh still to come on the defending champion against huthohn mchugh but her cats out there on centre court. —— hubert hurkacz. thanks for watching. we will have more news later. hello. showers and thunderstorms this evening — not as extensive or as widespread as we saw through

let's go to centre court. this year, but she was good in birmingham —— five months of tennis. she won that match before she ended up losing to the eventual winner, but venus williams started this match against elina svitolina splaying really well, then slipped at the net. has not of the same since she lost at first set 6—4. she has been broken already, so it looks like venus williams is going out of these championships and we don't quite frankly know if we will see her back here again, but i'm sure most of that crowd on centre court be 20 wheeler over the line. when we think about great champions of this credible tournament, they are not many of them left in the draw for some expected novak djokovic to win the men's draw, but andy murray tomorrow, what realistic chance will we have? we wait to see how he gets on. it is a bumper day when we will also see sabalenka in the defending champion take to the court as well, but that is it for sportsday —— and the defending champion. we will leave venus williams trying

it is such a big deal to go out on centre court to try to win wimbledon, herfirst major centre court, her first major ever. she's only ever one one title on the wta tour and it was quite a small one if you is back so this was a hugejump upfor one if you is back so this was a hugejump up for her and she was able to hold her nerve, play beautifully with so much finesse and feel and then she would inject pace and she just really disrupted the play of 0ns jabeur and she did and she just really disrupted the play of 0nsjabeur and she did a masterfuljob, she really deserved to win. masterful “ob, she really deserved to win. ., . , ., to win. how much did it help that the expectation _ to win. how much did it help that the expectation wasn't _ to win. how much did it help that the expectation wasn't on - to win. how much did it help that the expectation wasn't on her - the expectation wasn't on her shoulders? she only won four matches on grass prior to these championships. beat five seeded players, was very close to going out againstjessica pegula. even this final, the talk was about on stu

but not before a battle on centre court and also chasing her first wimbledon title. nd seed aryna sabalenka reaches the last 16. iam mad i am mad the bbc sport centre. the dream is overfor mark i am mad the bbc sport centre. the dream is over for mark cavendish, out of the tour de france. we will tell you what happened. and a vital early breakthrough, late in the day, as rain slows things down for england against australia. here we go again. round about this time last night we saw andy murray and cam norrie go out of the championships and not long after that liam brady, to. british hopes now rest with katie and to the wheelchair events get going later next week. she is playing and more on that to come. we will start tonight with the world number one because it has been the match of the day. it was a thriller on centre court. the world number one in the end digging deep and fighting hard for his place in the last 16. a vile box filled with sporting legends, all—weather eyes fixed on centre court for the arrival of the best men player in the world. alcaraz is getting us

it will be second on centre court. andy murray asset away from the third round.hed the third round. he has not reached the second week of a grand slam senses hip resurfacing surgery. the british fans will be hoping he can at least make the third round. thank ou. after an electric opening day of the third test at headingly, play is under way on the second and it looks like it could be another dramatic day because england have already lost two wickets. joe root was dismissed with the second ball of the day, caught by david warner for 19 off the bowling of cummins. jonny bairstow has just gone for 12 — he edged it to second slip. a good catch from steve smith off the bowling of mitchell starc. so a poor start for england who started the day on 68—3, trailing by 195. they're now 97—5 after losing those two early wickets. they trail by 166. to america now where korea's kim hyo joo and china's xiyu lin go into the second round of the women's us 0penjoint top of the leaderboard. this shot at the fifth, setting lin up for a short putt, to make birdie. they both finished

he took the first two steps against alexander bublik, but it went the distance on centre court.taking the fifth set 6—4. he was asked about the possibility of facing djokovic. if it is novak, novak is one of the best players on grass, the player who the last couple of years didn't even — almost doesn't even lose on grass. so in my case, nothing to say. if it's hubert, we have played a couple times together. we had really touched matches. he beat me some matches, i beat him a couple of matches. but again, he is a perfect player for grass. so rublev through to the second week, probably against novak djokovic in the quarters. so much to look forward to on monday. chetan pathak is at the all england club for us. monday sees the last set of players trying to reach the quarter—finals of the singles and the order of play on centre court is an absolute cracker. first up, we will see the women's defending champion and third seed elena rybakina, who breezed past katie boulter in the last round. rybakina was struggling with a virus going into these championships but looks to have recovered

grand slam against carlos alcaraz, a man only playing in his second majorfinal and the first on centre court. the first set but novak djokovic�*s way, he'd never lost a match at wimbledon where he had won the opening set but that he has never played carlos alcaraz who has steadied his nerves, harnessed the adrenaline and took the next two sets. just as he made the 16 year age difference show, djokovic at 36, preset like he so often does and one ——won the fourth set with a momentum now with him. and so to the showdown. a winner takes all deciding set, carlos alcaraz cramped and lost to djokovic at the french open last month but no nerves. no anxiety here as the 20—year—old from spain kept his focus to win the match at the first time of asking. so after 20 years of federer, djokovic, nadal and murray the names of the wimbledon trophy, the world number one carlos alcaraz adds his. the youngest winner since boris becker in 1985, novak djokovic�*s pursuit of more historic numbers will have to wait for now. with marketa vondrousova of the czech republic beating ons jabeur on saturday's women's fin

and also on centre court on day two, we are going to see the two—time former champion andy murray, anon. chetan pathak there. away from wimbledon, mark cavendish will have to wait at least another day if he's to topple the record for stage wins at the tour de france. the manxman finished behind jasper philipsen in stage three�*s time trial, as the race moved from the basque country, and into france, with a sprint finish at bayonne. after the hills of the basque country, stage three favoured the sprinters. mark cavendish does not like to talk breaking records. meanwhile, adam yates in the yellow jersey. .. jasper phillips and... the belgian healthily until the line. cavendish finished a decent six. he will hope to finish first, but the belgian will take some beating. drew savage, bbc news. some transfer news, and the italy midfielder sandro tonali has moved to newcastle united in the premier league from ac milan. the 23—year—old is the first summer signing for eddie howe as the side prepare for champions league football this season. tonali joins on a five—year dealfor a reported £55 mi

he is second up on centre court.t in particular, the way he held his serve. probably the way he held his serve. probably the best we have ever seen stefan offsets a pass play on grass, as well. it is a day of three british men playing, because we will also see liam broady later, he put out the fourth seed yesterday. he is up against a man who reached the semifinals a couple of years ago. cameron norrie, he will take on christopher eubanks, the american. it's such a packed scheduled today, talk us through the other highlights we can look forward to. they talked about manic monday before they got rid of the middle sunday. because of the rain delays early on it is a packed schedule and we have second and third round matches. we can dip into court number one, if we can first of all. arena saddle anchor has her cut work out at the moment. she is taking on a croatian, not a player that we were expecting to trouble her, but she has a break—up on that one. savile anchor is an australian open champion now. she is desperate to

which means novak djokovic is in action on centre court. eleventh semi—final at wimbeldon by the way. he's aiming to win the title for a 5th year running. chetan patak is keeping an eye on things from the roof of the broadcast centre.... he's playing young italianjannick sinner — how's the match going so far? all the he has not lost for a decade, things have tightened up in that second and djokovic has broken that second and djokovic has broken that he is trying to hold on. he is t in: to that he is trying to hold on. he is trying to land _ that he is trying to hold on. he is trying to land a — that he is trying to hold on. he is trying to land a punch _ that he is trying to hold on. he is trying to land a punch which - that he is trying to hold on. he: 3 trying to land a punch which is not easy against novak. he is chasing the history you mention. he is trying to win any title which would bring him up to the level with roger federer. some of the numbers that are inspiring novak djokovic. yannick has got to hold on to some face. he took on

he was already two sets to love up when play resumed earlier on centre court.kovic did drop the third set against hubert hurkacz, who of course put roger federer out a couple of years ago, but he could not keep up that momentum, djokovic broke serve in the fourth set and goes through to play russia's andrey rublev in the last eight. american christopher eubanks has been one of the stories of the championship. he's a world number 43 and he's having the week of his life. he has beaten the world number 6, the greek, stefanos tsitsipas. tsitsipas, who had already seen off andy murray and dominic thiem in five sets, couldn't get past eubanks who had previously beaten last year's semi finalist, cam norrie. eubanks winning this one in five sets. he will now play daniil medvedev, one of three russian men in the quarterfinals — that has not happened here before. daniil medvedev only needed to win two sets againstjiri lehecka before his opponent retired injured. also a retirement in the women's draw. elena rybakina safely through to the quarter final after her brazilian

his 45th that a grand slam against carlos alcaraz, a man on second major final and the first on centre court. the first set went djokovic�*s way, he never lost the match where he had won the opening set but then he's never played carlos alcaraz, who studied his nerves, harness the adrenaline and took the next two sets and just as he is making the 16 year age difference show, djokovic reset like he so often does and one the fourth set with the momentum now with him and so, to the show down, what it takes all the siding set and alcaraz crampton walston djokovic at the french open last month but no nerves, no anxiety here is the 20—year—old from spain kept his focus of the first time of asking and after 20 years of federer, djokovic rafael nadal, this time, carlos alcaraz puts his name on there. the vet novak djokovic's more historic journey will continue at another day. beating them in saturday's women's functional, but avenue wimbledon winners on both saturday and sunday and after all the rain and the high winds and the disruptive weather during this championships, his finals of suddenly made

right on centre court, sun's out.t earlier, has been commentating since she stopped playing professionally. what do you think makes a good commentator, then? i think you need to be short and sharp, sometimes, with what you're saying. and to get a feel of what's happening. sometimes you don't need to say anything, because the crowd have gone mad, and you want to feel that, and you can see the players — so let it go. other times, maybe when it's flagging a bit, then it's time to fill in a bit from behind the scenes. so i think you very much have to have that feel of when to talk and when not. so is this just the start of computer—generated commentary replacing people likejo? to be clear, this is on matches that don't have commentary at the moment. we would love to make all matches available in a more accessible way, and you can see how the intention here is to complement and supplement those commentators that we know and love, rather than replace them. for now, the ai commentary is only being used after the event, for h
