Wimbledon has a new women’s champion in Angelique Kerber – and Novak Djokovic is through to another final.

Here, Press Association Sport takes a look at Saturday’s highlights.

Post of the day

Jelena Djokovic, wife of the men’s finalist, was quick to hail the remarkable achievement of Serena Williams at Wimbledon. Williams has said her life was on the line due to complications after childbirth, yet here she was, back on the big stage. Truly an incomparable athlete, and a role model to millions.

Shot of the day

This one was among Rafael Nadal’s worst shots of the day, but there was some sensational ball-striking from the Spaniard on Centre Court. He crunched a host of phenomenal forehands past Novak Djokovic and at one stage looked to be putting on his own ‘shot of the championships’ exhibition. One example, a half-volleyed forehand in the early stages of the fourth set, sped like an arrow past his opponent.

Match of the day

It should have been a day for the women to dominate the Centre Court stage, but the conclusion to a men’s semi-final for the ages preceded the showpiece final. And the Nadal-Djokovic tussle was grand slam tennis at its finest, with both men at their very best. A privilege to watch, and it felt like there should have been a trophy for the winner. Djokovic might collect that on Sunday.

A good day for…

Angelique Kerber has returned to the dazzling form she showed in 2016 and this time she had the measure of Serena Williams in the title match. She dominated, brilliantly repelling the mighty game of her opponent and landing some big counter-punches of her own.

A bad day for…

Rafael Nadal took his defeat with tremendous dignity. He knew he had played a full part in a classic, and gone ever so close to reaching the final. In short: he was brilliant. But every player wants to look back on their great matches with fondness, and this may hurt more as the months and years go by.

“I think Wimbledon is something special. I think it’s traditional. To win here, it’s forever. Nobody can take the title away from me now.” – Angelique Kerber fulfilled a life’s ambition.

Stat of the day

Novak Djokovic would have entered the record books for playing the longest semi-final in Wimbledon history – but for Friday’s marathon between Kevin Anderson and John Isner. Djokovic and Nadal took five hours and 15 minutes, 32 minutes longer than Djokovic needed to beat Juan Martin del Potro at the last-four stage in 2013, when the previous record was established. Anderson and Isner’s six hours and 36 minutes on court will take some beating.

Sunday’s match of the day

Men’s final day arrives, and scheduling distractions are thankfully not going to be a factor. Fatigue might be fundamental, though, after gruelling semi-final wins for Kevin Anderson and Novak Djokovic. What do both men have left? Has having a day off on Saturday given Anderson the physical advantage? There will be all to play for, come 2pm on Sunday.
