not to be for serena williams today.le they expected but to get this far so soon is a victory in itself. this was a win built on her own kind of resilience. it was such an amazing tournament for me. applause i was really happy to get this far. it is obviously disappointing but it can't be disappointed, you know. i've so much to look forward to. i literally just getting started i've so much to look forward to. i literallyjust getting started so i look forward to it. it isjust a dream come true again. of course i have to say serena yuri great, great person and the champion. i mean, you're coming back and you're such an inspiration for everyone , and you're such an inspiration for everyone, for everybody, for all of us, everybody watching you. i mean, really. it is amazing and i'm sure you will have your next grandson title soon, i really, really sure. yes, i'm sure she will of course because all the top coming into today but the final was about whether serena williams, 22 grand slam titles to name, can she go on and igor m

so serena through to the second round. but fans here weren'tjust queuing for hours for serena.nough to get tickets to centre court, what a treat — roger federer taking on dusan lajovic in the first round. federer‘s 20th consecutive year here at wimbledon and an eight—time champion. drew savage was watching the reigning champion. it feels like you're walking out for the finals because the excitement of the finals because the excitement of the fans is always there and there is pressure. i feel so the fans is always there and there is pressure. ifeel so privileged to be out there. and most of centre court felt the same way about watching federer begin his quest for title number nine, against the man who'd tested him in the second round last year. different this time for dusan lajovic — federer was a set up after just 20 minutes. absolutely gorgeous. if they'd come to see some vintage federer, the 37—year—old wasn't about to let them down. another example of roger federer having fun. and so were they. lajovic wasn't. two sets down and the defending champion had hardly broken sweat.

she did lose the serena in straight sets but she did beat serena in 2016 in the australian open so tohe major is incredible. it will give her a confidence boost. we have to talk about the men's semifinals as well, rafael nadal and novak djokovic speaks for itself. but a chance for john is the to make a name for himself and kevin anderson. kevin anderson got to the finals last year but thejob is in, the best performance he has ever had in a major, 33 years old, the best tennessee has ever played, so real opportunity for one of these guys to wina opportunity for one of these guys to win a major and that's career defining. if you to pick between rafael nadal and novak djokovic, what does your heart say? that is really tough. djokovic is coming back from injury. he is playing better with each tournament but raphael had a long game. will he be too physically taxed? he is so fit, soi too physically taxed? he is so fit, so i give the edge to ratho. they have already played 50 times, that is very interesting. the job is have already played 50 times, that is very interesting. thejob is not an

it ends what has been a superb tournament for serena williams.f herfirst williams. just the fourth after the birth of her first child ten months ago. kerber lifted herfirst title. this is perhaps serena's greatest march. 36 roy williams had a baby last year. she said she could barely walk to her letterbox, now she's back on the centre. the instinct has never escaped but she would need all those flashes to topple kerber. the german new defence was key to a first wimbledon title, stay in the rallies and wait for the openings. everything williams does at the moment and won has the answer. that persistence was forcing the errors. williams have lost sight about finished the poisoned with the americans toiling kerber clinch the first set. and there it is. we'll is what do it the hard way kerber strikes first. to increase the urgency williams increased the volume. but in the face of that power, kerber kept her composure, had two grand slam wins came two yea rs had two grand slam wins came two years ago, now she's found her best again. 0nce again. once a

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

angelique kerber didn't just match serena, williams camp. she went past her. first set, 6—3. serena was strangely tentative where kerber was definite. maybe the big occasion came too early in serena williams‘s come back, but kerber maintained her poise and profited from errors. in 2016, williams beat kerber in the final here. today, nobody really expected kerber to win in 65 minutes, not even her.|j expected kerber to win in 65 minutes, not even her. i knew i'd have to play my best tennis against a champion like serena, and it's a lwa ys a champion like serena, and it's always an honour to share a court with her. to all of the mums out there, i tried today. but, with her. to all of the mums out there, itried today. but, you know, angelique played really well. two sets, two duchesses and then out to meet 100 cameras. kerber‘s day but, if you had a seat on centre court today, there was loads of entertainment. the hangover match, djokovic and nadal resuming their semifinal after friday night, hammer and tongs. this was tennis on the edge. in th
