He said: 'I've just been looking at motorbikes... that's all I'll say!

Canadian coach Louis Cayer has transformed British doubles since being hired by the LTA in 2007 and was again the mastermind for Saturday's win.
Glasspool, 31, who plans to pay off his mortgage with his winnings, added: 'To have him in your corner is invaluable.
'He's coached winners and got so many titles. He knows just what to say, the
energy
you need to bring.
'It's all the work throughout the years, the data analysis, the things he picks up on
court
that just nobody else can see. He works tirelessly.'

The match was moved to 1pm — instead of being after the women's final — and a big crowd was there to witness the ceremony.
Cash added: 'Doubles were on Centre Court, it's full and everyone is having a great time watching.

What to watch on TV and streaming today: Mix Tape, Manhunter and Trainwreck: Balloon Boy
Mix Tape BBC Two, 9pm First love. For some it's a painful matter, but for others, it's an amazing roller-coaster ride of emotions that they never forget and hold close to their hearts forever. Alison and Daniel, the main characters in this new four-part drama, fall firmly in the latter category. We first meet them in 1989 when they're teenagers, forming a bond over a shared passion for music. The pair eventually go their separate ways, and we then catch up with them in the modern day while they're living on the opposite sides of the world – Alison in Sydney, Australia, and Daniel in their native Sheffield in South Yorkshire. However, the pair reconnect, once again due to a song they still love. And being back in touch makes them wonder what might have been had they never parted. Teresa Palmer and Jim Sturgess play Alison and Daniel, with Bridgerton's Florence Hunt and newcomer Rory Walton-Smith as their younger selves. But the real interest for Irish viewers comes from the fact that despite being largely set in Sheffield, it was filmed in Dublin and Co Wicklow. Plus, the screenplay was adapted by bestselling Dublin-born author Jo Spain from Jane Sanderson's novel, and was made by Irish production company Subotica. Sue Deeks, head of BBC programme acquisition, says of the tale: 'Accompanied by a cracking 1980s soundtrack, Mix Tape is an enjoyable blend of nostalgia, romance and heartbreak – it really is the perfect summer treat!' The Great British Sewing Bee BBC One, 9pm Judges Esme Young and Patrick Grant, and returning host Sara Pascoe, meet 12 more amateur sewers as the contest's 11th series gets under way. Their tasks involve making a tie-front blouse, turning old circle skirts into something new, and creating pleated dresses. In the Footsteps of Killers Channel 4, 10pm On a summer's night in 1986, lovers Brian Price and Susan Tetrault were murdered in their London flat. A suspect was acquitted of the crime, which remains unsolved. Now Emilia Fox and Professor David Wilson are taking another look at the case. ADVERTISEMENT Learn more 1923 RTÉ One, 10.10pm There's a rare trip to town in store for Jacob, Cara and the rest of the Duttons, where they hope to mix business with pleasure. However, there's trouble brewing back home due to the sheepherders. Manhunter BBC Two, 11pm The first film based on Thomas Harris's novel Red Dragon focuses on an ex-FBI agent who comes out of retirement to track down a killer targeting families. William Petersen stars, with Brian Cox as an early incarnation of Hannibal 'the Cannibal' Lecktor (as it's spelled here). Trainwreck: Balloon Boy Netflix, streaming now Remember Balloon Boy? Back in 2009, a man from Colorado rang the authorities claiming his homemade spaceship had blown away with his six-year-old son inside. If you don't know the story, you can probably guess the rest. Apocalypse in the Tropics Netflix, streaming now Where does governance end and doctrine begin? To put it another way, at what point do the lines blur between democratic rule and religious rule? This isn't an anatomy of what's devolving in North America right now, but rather what's already happened in South America. In her new documentary, Brazilian filmmaker Petra Costa returns with a penetrating look at how Christian evangelical movements have gained powerful influence over Brazil's political system. With remarkable access to both sitting president Lula and former president Bolsonaro — plus one of Brazil's most prominent televangelists — the film dives into the spiritual and strategic alliances shaping modern Brazil. What emerges is a tense portrait of a nation where apocalyptic beliefs mix with political ambition. Costa, known for her Oscar-nominated The Edge of Democracy, again captures a country in flux with raw honesty and clarity. One Night In Idaho Prime Video, streaming now In late 2022, a fatal stabbing attack involving four university students rocked a small Idaho town, drawing national attention. An explosion of social media sleuthing, a cross-country manhunt, a dramatic arrest, and a looming trial made this crime one of the most high-profile stories of the last decade. Foundation AppleTV+, streaming now Season 3 returns to Apple, with new episodes dropping every Friday through to September 12. Inspired by Isaac Asimov's celebrated books, the saga follows exiles fighting to restore civilisation as an empire collapses. The Crossbow Cannibal Prime Video, streaming now Keeping things super light on Prime Video this week, we also have a profile of Stephen Griffiths, who created his own deadly persona in the hope of following in the footsteps of his idol — serial killer Peter Sutcliffe. Fifteen years after Griffiths's arrest, this documentary revisits one of Britain's darkest criminal cases. National Geographic dives into (apologies) the legacy of a legendary film with this Laurent Bouzereau documentary, tracing its journey from book to enduring pop culture phenomenon. If the tween in your life has been counting down the days, they'll probably already know that Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires is also now available (be warned, it's a musical). Oppenheimer Netflix, streaming now Finally, the wait is over. Anyone who failed to catch it in the cinema back in the heady summer of 2023 can now view it on whatever device they please. Speaking of German-related drama, Brick, an atmospheric number with Danny Boyle vibes, is also available. Building The Band Netflix, streaming now

Cork art exhibition adds works from highly respected Scottish artist Jack Vettriano
The Retrospective of Works exhibition will take place in the West End Art Studio in the town from Wednesday, July 23 to Sunday, August 3. The exhibition will feature approximately 65 works from Irish, British and French artists, and is organised by Colman Dalton, and his wife Marie. Artist Mr Vettriano was born in Fife, Scotland in 1951 and was regarded as a major player in the art world. He died earlier this year. His work, In Thoughts of You, will be exhibited in Mallow, and organiser Mr Dalton said it is worth travelling for. 'He is very famous in Scotland and his works would be in museums over there, and his work is very expensive. 'I know some of his work has been sold for over £1m. 'To see work by Jack Vettriano among others [be exhibited] they won't come up again,' he said. In Thoughts of You was first exhibited in 1997 and is seen as one of the Scot's best works. Works of the late James O'Halloran will also feature in the exhibition, with 20 of his pieces chosen. The Clare man passed away in 2014 at the age of 59. His painting Girl on the Beach will be available to view. Dubliner Paul Kelly, who now resides in Buttevant, will have 25 works of art on display, including works based on the Cahirmee Horse Fair and Lambay Island, located just off the coast of Dublin. Mr Kelly recently conducted a study about the horse festival, which contributed to his work. 'I recently did a study on the Cahirmee Horse Fair because it was right outside our door in Buttevant,' he said. 'A major piece of the Buttevant series is one of my favourites.' !The painting depicts a busy main street flooded with people with horses. 'I got great inspiration from my studies in terms of a gathering of people selling horses and everything that goes on with that.' Also set to be displayed at the West End Art Studio in Mallow are works by T.S Lowry, George Rouault and Rodo Pissaro, Maurice MacGonigal, Harry Kernoff and George Campbell. Mr Kelly has donated a piece to the art exhibition to raise funds for two worthwhile charities, Focus Ireland and HART, a local dog rescue. The raffle for the artwork will take place at 7:30pm on July 23. Tickets cost €3 each or eight tickets for €20. All proceeds will be divided between the two charities. The exhibition is free of charge and more information can be found here:
