she was beaten in 2015, when serena williams beat her. but today the exact opposite. for garbine muguruza, the ladies champion here at wimbledon. many were left in shock at the speed that the match took place. and comment made at how weary, perhaps, venus was looking? well at the age of 37, it was a fantastic performance to reach the final. after the match garbine muguruza spoke about how she would watch venus williams‘s matches as a young girl. it brought a rafter of laughterfrom the girl. it brought a rafter of laughter from the centre court fans. but the realise is that it was a fantastic performance from her. the last time venus won was in 2008. she has struggled with fatigue and joint problems but bounced back. but garbine muguruza put in a performance that really did deserve the championship title. hugh, thank you. wages are increasing at their slowest rate for five years according to new research. the resolution foundation — which analyses living standards — says average income growth halved to 0—point—7 % in the year before the general election, as our busines

with no serena williams to defend her title, it was down to last you's finalist, angelique kerber, tooceedings. she struggled for form in 2017, but showed glimpses of her best game against qualifier. she avoided an upset here, into the second round. the best is still to come. when i walked onto the centre court, all the memories from last year came back. it was amazing, what i played last year, but i was trying to focus today on the new match. the first round is always tough, but i am happy to be back and playing on this amazing court. of a court number one was many people's favourite, the third seed. the czechoslovakian raced through her first set, taking it 6—1. she continued to dominate and took the match in straight sets. could this be the smile of a first—time champion in two weeks' time? delight for karolina, and fort djokovic and federer despite the ways they progressed. bernard tomic is another story, he has fallen down the rankings and out of luck with the game. he said in a press conference that he has fallen out of love with tennis, and is only playing for the money. i was

with 19 grand slams, federer is still well behind the sensational serena williams.he returns from pregnancy. but in the male game, federer is on his own. watching today, the what—if man. what if rod laver had not been banned in the 19605 for turning professional. he would surely have won more than his 11 grand slams. bjorn borg won five consecutive wimbledons but his whole career really squeezed into seven years. pete sampras won seven times at wimbledon, supreme on grass, he never managed the french title on clay. so, if nobody in tennis quite compares, is federer the greatest sportsman ever? if you compare him to any other athlete in the world, i think he is right up there. you talk about formula 1, running, basketball, football... i don't think there is anyone like roger federer at the moment. let's appreciate the facts. with four children at 35, roger federer won his eighth title here without conceding a set. defying time is not simply restricted to science fiction. thousands of opposition demonstrators have gathered outside the polish parliament to protest abou
