BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ESPN, 9:00 a.m. ET

Serena Williams won the women’s final yesterday, in an exciting display of fierce tennis against Angelique Kerber, who doubtless earned lots of fans with her persistent efforts. Today, the men’s final is between Andy Murray, the Scot who is the home-crowd favorite and in search of his second Wimbledon title, and Milos Ranoic, who beat Roger Federer in the semis (in a thrillingly competitive five-set match) to get here, and who counts among his coaches John McEnroe. I’ll be watching – and rooting for Murray.

 
  
 
 

ESPN, 2:30 p.m. ET

Both Wimbledon and the Euro finals this year have home-crowd favorites. With Euro 2016, played in Paris, it’s France, who plays Portugal for the title. France has won this contest twice before, in 1984 and 2000, but this would be its first victory of the current century. As for Portugal? Has never won – yet.

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 8:00 p.m. ET

SERIES RETURN: After an understandable but regrettable hiatus, this political documentary series returns for the second half of its impressive first season… and just in time to present the buildup to the parties’ respective national conventions. The three-man team reporting this particular Circus has been entertaining to watch – and more important, has been informative. Here we go again…

 
  
 
 

BBC America, 9:00 p.m. ET

Tonight is Episode 2 of this stunningly photographed new nature series, narrated by Sir David Attenborough and focusing exclusively on fight-or-flight, win-or-lose duels in the natural world. Tonight’s episode focuses on hunts in very cold climates.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Based on the British series Criminal Justice, this new eight-part series, starring John Turturro as a rumpled lawyer who takes on the case of a young man accused of murder, is magnificent. And excitingly nuanced and unpredictable, to boot. For my full review on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, visit the Fresh Air website. For another full review, see David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower.

A Secrets Tides Punta Cana Airport Transfer allows travelers to begin their vacation with comfort, convenience, and confidence. After arriving at Punta Cana International Airport, the last thing most visitors want is to spend time searching for transportation or waiting in long lines. Planning airport transportation before departure helps make the arrival process much easier and allows guests to continue directly to the resort.

Secrets Tides Punta Cana is situated in the beautiful Uvero Alto region, approximately 27 miles (44 kilometers) from Punta Cana International Airport. Depending on traffic, the drive usually takes around 45 to 55 minutes. Choosing a Secrets Tides Punta Cana Airport Transfer provides a direct route to the resort, avoiding unnecessary stops that are common with shared transportation.
