Recent victories for European centrists offer a chance to reflect on the phenomenon of populism – and draw some crucial lessons for the future • Cas Mudde is a US academic and writer The electoral victories of Emmanuel Macron in France and Mark Rutte in the Netherlands have significantly changed the discourse on European politics.

It’s light and easy to watch but yeah, [Aidan Turner] is easy on the eyes. There you go, you’ve got your headline”. But 40 years on from Virginia Wade’s victory, Konta could yet write a bigger headline herself. Michael Butler is here to take you through the early stages, I’ll be back later. Bye. 3.30pm BST AZARENKA’S VICTORY MEANS RAFAEL NADAL HAS STEPPED ON TO CENTRE COURT. There could be fireworks. He’s up against the explosive 21-year-old Russian Karen Khachanov, who, Nadal believes, is destined for big things. Continue reading...
