Previously, Kerber won the Australian and US Opens in 2016, after which she became the oldest first-time No.1. She swept to the title at Church Road with a 6-3, 6-3 win. Her performance in the final mirrored the effective quality of automobile engineering her country is celebrated for.
Serena was bidding to become only the fourth mum to win a Grand Slam title in the professional era. Also, she could be the first at Wimbledon since Evonne Goolagong beat Chris Evert in 1980.
Kerber called her victory, ‘a dream come true’.
“I knew I had to play my best match against Serena. This is my second chance to be back in the final. I want to thank my family and my team without you I won’t be here. I was trying not to look at my mother, she is always so nervous when I’m playing.”
She also said,” I also want to tell Serena that you are a great person and champion. You are an inspiration for all the people watching.”

As we come closer to the business end of the FIFA World Cup 2018, lets have a detailed look at it.
Tomorrow’s final will be the 21st final of the FIFA World Cup. The match will be held at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Russia, on 15 July 2018 at 8:30 pm IST. It will be contested by France and Croatia. The winners of the World Cup will qualify automatically for the 2021 FIFA Confederations Cup.
France
The match is the third World Cup final for France. They first appeared in the 1998 final as hosts, winning 3–0 against reigning champions Brazil. France also contested the 2006 final, where they lost to Italy in a penalty shoot-out following a 1–1 draw. Only Germany (eight) and Italy (six) have reached more finals among European nations. Didier Deschamps became the fourth person to reach a World Cup final as both a player and as a manager, after Franz Beckenbauer, Rudi Völler and Mário Zagallo.
Croatia
The match is the first World Cup final for Croatia in their fifth World Cup appearance. They are the 10th European country and 13th overall to reach a World Cup final. And the first new finalist since Spain in 2010. Croatia is the second smallest country to play in a World Cup final with a population of 4.3 million, behind Uruguay (winners in 1930 and 1950). Croatia’s previous best performance as World Cup debutants was in 1998. They finished in third place, losing 2–1 to hosts France in the semi-finals. Before beating the Netherlands 2–1 in the third place play-off.
Last meetings of the two sides
This final is the sixth meeting between France and Croatia. France is undefeated in the previous fixtures with three wins and two draws. The two sides first met in the 1998 World Cup semi-final, with hosts France winning 2–1. Their only other competitive meeting was during the group stage of Euro 2004, which finished as a 2–2 draw. Their next and most recent meeting was in a March 2011 friendly match, which finished as a 0–0 draw.
Route to the final
Match officals
Argentine referee Néstor Pitana will lead the officiating team for this final. The final is Pitana’s fifth match as referee during the tournament, becoming only the second referee to officiate the opening match and the final.
France’s key players for the final
Mbappe and Griezmann will be the key players for France. Mbappe is in red hot form. His sprints are impossible to control for any defender at the current moment. And Griezmann will control the attacking third for France.
Croatia’s key players for the final
Modric and Rakitic will be the key players for Croatia. If Modric gets hold of the midfield, then the whole team will play well automatically. Modric and Rakitic have been in superb form throughout this tournament. And they are expected to control the game for the Croatians from the midfield with their key passes.
Author’s take
France look strong on paper. They have the perfect mixture of youth and experience. But Croatia is this year’s darkhorse. It is the last oppurtunity for their golden generation to lift the World Cup. We can except to see something special from the Croatians. So our pick is CROATIA for this final.
Belgium or England? Who will finally secure the Third Place for World Cup 2018?
After the loss of belgium against france and England aginst Croatia, they finally face each other in the third place match tonight.They were the favourites to win this world Cup.The Golden Era of Belgium and the young squad of England unfortunately couldn’t make it to the finals but they left a huge mark in this tournament.
Both sides contain some really tallented world class players like Eden Hazard,Romelu Lukaku,Kevin de Bruyne and on other side Harry Kane,Raheem Sterling ,Dele Alli.The teams met once in the group stage and the score was Belgium -1 and England -0.The only goal scorer was A.Janujaz for Belgium.
For the third place match tonight both the tems have equal chances to win becase of their world class squiad and genius coach.
Sources have confirmed that Gareth Southgate, the English Coach is not intending to make wholesale changes but will check the players fitness level before chosing the side.

The probable starting XI for England would be :
Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Alexander-Arniod, Lingard, Dier, Delph, Vardy, Rose,Kane.
On other hand Roberto Martinez decides to rest striker Lukaku and involve A.Janujaz in starting XI.
The probable Belgium Squad would be:
Courtois, Vertonghen, Kompany, Anderweireld, Chadli, Fellani, Witsel, Meunier, Hazard, Bruyne, Janujaz.
The Belgium and the England will be the first teams to play each other twice in the same fifa World Cup.Belgium are the favourites after beating England previously in the competition and will also be benifitted by the extra days rest and also due to the face that the match didnt go to the extra time .England ion other side may also make a few changes as a reslt of their match against Croatia.
Will the Belgium side finish third or the English men can take the revenge of the defeat in the group stage ?The match will surely be the exciting one
P V Sindhu is India’s sole survivor at the Thailand Open badminton championships. She sailed serenely into the penultimate round of the $ 350,000 prize money Level Four World Tour tournament. She won over Malaysia’s Sonia Cheah with a comfortable 21-17, 21-13 in Friday’s quarter-finals at the Nimibutr (National) Stadium in Pathumna, central Bangkok.
Sindhu, who turned 23 years of age last week in Jakarta, is the odds-on favorite to make the title round. She could meet either seventh-seeded American, Zhang Beiwen or fourth-ranked Nozomi Okuhara, the reigning world champion from Japan, who will cross swords in the other semi-final.
All the best P V Sindhu for your Semi-final match, from all the Indians. Hope you make India more proud.
Golden girl Hima Das won the 400 m race at the U-20 IAAF World Championship
‘Fali Dilu’ (I killed the competition) was the first reaction of India’s golden girl Hima Das. After scorching the track in the final of the U-20 World Championship in Tampere, Finland. “I am happy to create history but rather than chasing gold, my emphasis was on the timing. A good timing will automatically ensure medals. Whenever I run, I want to create a landmark, a milestone which will not be erased for a long time.’’ says the new sporting sensation from Assam. She created history, becoming the first Indian athlete to win a medal in a track event at the World Championship.
The 18-year-old started in lane four. She finished the race with a timing of 51.46 seconds, slower than her 51.13 that she clocked in Guwahati. “During the heats and the semi-finals here in Finland, I was slightly complacent in the last few steps towards the close of the race and I wanted to rectify it in the final,’’ reveals Hima. She was confident about her victory . Though the teenager had to endure a few nervous moments before the race. Because of a brief spell of rain at the venue. But the showers stopped just before the final.
Back in Guwahati, coaches Nabajit Malakar and Nipon Das, who have been credited to have unearthed the rare talent, are overjoyed. “She is still a work in progress. Hima needs to work on her technique especially at the start of a race to compliment her god-gifted endurance levels. For Hima and her team who have been working with her, their aim now is to bring her timing from 51 seconds to 50 seconds in the 400 metres.’’ says Nabajit Malakar.
Congratulations Hima Das for making the whole of India proud.
