Weekend in pictures: Euro 2016 and Wimbledon finals, July Cup and more

UFC

Current WWE wrestling superstar Brock Lesnar made a special one-off return to the octagon to compete at UFC 200, beating Mark Hunt by unanimous decision in a heavyweight contest.

The Beast Incarnate will feature in a main event match of SummerSlam, WWE’s third-longest running PPV event, where Lesnar will battle Randy Orton for the first time in a major storyline with The Viper.

2016 Wimbledon finals

Grand Slam glory on grass was up for grabs as Wimbledon drew to a close for another year…

Serena goes level with Graf’s Open Era record

A year-long wait to win a 22nd tennis Major for WTA world number one Serena Williams ended with a hugely competitive 7-5 6-3 win over ladies’ singles final opponent and fourth seed Angelique Kerber.

Sensational Serena is now level with Steffi Graf’s Open Era record of 22 individual Grand Slam titles, and the American will now have her sights set on eclipsing Margaret Court’s all-time marker of 24.

Williams sisters warm up for Rio Olympics with women’s doubles delight

Joined by elder sibling Venus, Serena returned to Centre Court for a victorious ladies’ doubles triumph over Timea Babos of Hungary and Kazakhstani partner Yaroslava Shvedova.

The Williams sisters don’t often enter Grand Slam doubles tournaments these days but, with the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janiero just around the corner, they warmed up nicely for further tilts at summer success here, romping to victory 6-3 6-4.

Murray reigns again with second success in men’s singles

Red-hot favourite Andy Murray won his third Grand Slam title, beating Milos Raonic 6-4 7-6 7-6 to regain the Wimbledon crown he won in 2013. Can Great Britain’s Murray build on his latest Major success at the US Open later this summer?

Watson wins mixed doubles title

Another Briton, Heather Watson also secured Grand Slam glory with a straight sets mixed doubles victory with partner Henri Kontinen of Finland over Robert Farah (Colombia) and Anna-Lena Gronefeld (Germany).

Formula 1: Silverstone Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton won at his home British GP for a fourth time and third in succession, becoming the first person ever to do so at the Silverstone Circuit.

The Englishman led from the start to claim a fourth victory in five races this season, which now puts him just one point behind Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg in the Drivers’ Championship standings, after the German was given a 10-second penalty.

Euro 2016 final: Portugal thwart hosts France

Despite Cristiano Ronaldo’s early injury, Portugal denied Euro 2016 hosts and pre-tournament favourites France with an extra-time victory. Replacement striker Eder – a flop with Swansea City in British football this past season – scored the winner to break Les Bleus hearts.
