she has beaten elena rybakina, the defending champion, in a repeat of last year's final, but this time jabeur coming out on the right side of it. she did drop the right side of it. she did drop the first set. she probably should have won it but what a response from the tunisian, and eleanor are back in�*s save failing her. she was struggling as ons jabeur took it four and one, struggling as ons jabeur took it fourand one, so struggling as ons jabeur took it four and one, so onsjabeur who struggling as ons jabeur took it four and one, so ons jabeur who has dreamt of winning this title is into the semifinals, where aryna sabalenka will wait, because she is into what will be her second wimbledon semifinal. she has beaten the american madison keys. it was a straight sets win. she will be the world number one if she reaches the final. she finally made that grand slam breakthrough by winning the australian open. frustration for madison keys who fails to get past the quarterfinals here for a second time. �* ., ., �* , the quarterfinals here for a second time. �* ., ., �*, , time. and on the m

. —— elena rybakina. alexanders of errors faces matteo berrettini in the late—night.gley due to rain ahead of this crucial day 3, of the 3rd ashes test between england and australia. the hosts needing 6 wickets, as they look to limit australia's second innings total. australia will resume on 116—4 at headingley — a lead of 142 in their second innings. usman khawaja there top scorer — before he was bowled by chris woakes towards the end of day 2. england 2—0 down to australia, and have to win this. if they're to regain the ashes, so will be eager for play to get going, once the weather eases. they will be eager for play to get going once the weather eases. if it eases. we are waiting eagerly. and that's all the sport for now. back now to our main story, on washington's decision to supply ukraine with cluster bombs — a weapon that is banned more than 100 countries around the world. sir richard shirreff, former nato deputy supreme commander europe, told the bbc earlier that these cluster munitions are supplied because the west did not give the weapons kyiv asked for, for

still the unknown, there�*s a couple of other players in the draw, between the defending champion elena rybakinaee i think those of the top three i think those three are pretty far from the rest of the pack. interesting to hear that venus williams is playing as well. she is 43 and still there, she won wimbledon 23 years ago, her first title there and/or several, many of these players including many of these players, it is a big bonus for tennis to have her therefore some continuity, it is a transitional time especially in the women�*s side right now. with ash barty retired, naomi osaka out right now so having household in venus williams i think needs a lot for the women�*s game right now. wimbledon has interesting moment of political influence as well, they had and last year russian and belarusian players, the first year now that they are allowed back. that was controversial. how do you think these players will be welcomed back to the tournament? interesting how they dealt with the public, wimbledon is usually a pretty genteel place, the media side could be tougher on some of them, aryna sabalen

it is going to be tough, because she is facing elena rybakina, the defending champion and third seedcome here off the back of a virus which she does not seem to be fully over. as good as we now katie boulter can be, this is a whole other level of a test. but we will have to wait for that ons jabeur match to finish before katie boulter gets under way. we had a late night on thursday with andy murray, and i suspect we are in for one with katie boulter tonight. but so much as they have been here today. the match of the day was carlos alcaraz, first up on centre, taken to four sets. a royal box filled with sporting legends, all with eyes fixed on centre court for the arrival of the best men's player in the world. alcaraz is getting used to these big occasions, his opponent not so much, needing a little guidance in his first wimbledon appearance in four years. he found his way, forcing the spaniard into shots like this. safe hands from the umpire. but alcaraz is the best playerfor a reason. shots like this are the proof. the top seed had not dropped a set at wimbledon this year but a thri
