Good Week/Bad Week

It has been quite a week for British sport as the British and Irish Lions secured a series win down under and, of course, Andy Murray ended 77 years of hurt to become the first British man since Fred Perry to win the Wimbledon title.

However, she met her match in eventual finalist Lisicki and went down to a shock defeat in three sets. To make matters worse, Williams had to cope with the Wimbledon crowd cheering on her opponent with the kind of vigour usually reserved for the likes of Laura Robson and Andy Murray. Lewis Hamilton Lewis Hamilton's championship hopes were left in tatters after a disappointing showing at the German Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver starter on pole for the second race running but missed out on a podium place once again, eventually finishing fifth at the Nurburgring. Hamilton immediately lost the race lead to Sebastien Vettel and never recovered as he slipped down to sixth before overtaking fellow Brit Jensen Button on the final lap. After a tyre blow out ruined his hopes of a home win last weekend at Silverstone, the former McLaren driver was able to avoid any such drama in Germany but failed to match his qualifying performance before branding his car "a disaster" after the race. Hamilton also bemoaned the much-criticised Pirelli tyres despite the changes made following the issues at the British Grand Prix. Robbie Deans The Australia coach saw his side put to the sword by the Lions on Saturday to lose the Test series 2-1. The defeat looks set to cost Deans his job with reports in Australia suggesting he has already been dismissed. The former All Black was already under pressure going into the Lions Tests and having pushed the tourists all the way in the first two games, Deans' side capitulated in the decider. The Wallabies were dominated in the scrum and failed to deal with a second-half blitz from the Lions to succumb to a heavy defeat, allowing the Lions to rack up their record points score in a Test match. David Price The British heavyweight was knocked out in the fifth round by American Tony Thompson on Saturday. Price started well at Liverpool's Echo Arena in his rematch with Thompson, having suffered a second round knock-out in February. However, the Washington DC southpaw had the home favourite in trouble in the fourth before a standing eight count in the fifth. Price was put out of his misery later in the round leaving him with successive defeats having been undefeated prior to facing Thompson.
