The paper leads with good British news from Wimbledon

Glory Laura ... At last, after 24 years Britain produces a Wimbledon champion – and what a smasher she is!

Laura Robson was crowned the new Queen of Wimbledon yesterday, finally bringing to an end 24 years of British disappointment.
The 14-year-old – an unknown and unseeded wild card at the start of the competition – defeated the number three seed to take the girls' title in three thrilling sets.
As the last shot was played, the 11,000-strong crowd in Court One erupted. Laura looked over to her mother, Kathy, and whispered simply: 'I can't believe it.' It was a sentiment echoed throughout the country.

The Times adds

Australian-born but very much a British citizen after moving to England as a six-year-old and getting a UK passport last year, Robson overcame a debilitating case of stage fright and a far more experienced opponent.
The left-hander, who lives just a few hundred yards away from gates of the All England Club, admitted: “Being Wimbledon junior champion sounds really, really good. It was so good today because all the crowd was behind me and it’s just an overwhelming experience. But a couple of weeks ago, when Wimbledon started, if somebody had told me I would be champion I would have told them not to be stupid.”

Labour in 'meltdown' as George Ryan withdraws

The Labour party has been accused of suffering a "meltdown" after the favourite to become the party's candidate for the Glasgow East by-election withdrew at the last minute. George Ryan, a Glasgow councillor, was expected to win the overwhelming backing of Labour members to contest the Glasgow East seat later this month.
However he failed to turn up at the party's selection meeting last night for "family reasons" - throwing the process of choosing a candidate into confusion.

Boris under fresh fire over deputy reports the Observer

Boris Johnson was last night accused of serious errors of judgment after fresh holes emerged in the story of his former deputy mayor, Ray Lewis.
The mayor's office repeatedly insisted that Lewis was not aware of allegations of financial and sexual misconduct made against him by parishioners and had not even been told by the Church of England that he was disbarred from holding office in 1999. That appeared to explain why Lewis had not declared damaging facts during vetting for his post.
But that defence was dramatically undermined last night when church sources said Lewis actually appealed against the revoking of his licence in 2000, when he returned to Britain after working overseas.
