BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ESPN, 9:00 a.m. ET

Venus Williams was fighting her way, well along the path to an improbable and exciting return to the finals at Wimbledon, when she lost her semifinal match against No. 4-ranked Angelique Kerber of Germany. But that means Kerber now faces top-seeded Serena Williams (pictured), Venus’ sister, which sets up quite a championship final. On one side of the net, it’s Serena, looking for vengeance for her sister, and looking for her own 22nd Grand Slam singles total – which would tie the Open Era women’s record set by Steffi Graf. On the other side of the net, it’s Kerber, who would have to beat both Wlliams sisters to win this championship – and whose only Grand Slam championship, at the Australian Open earlier this year, had her beating… Serena Williams. Neither player will be lacking for inspiration, so this could be a particularly exciting and emotional match.

 
  
 
 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

This is a warning, not a recommendation. More “new” Angel from Hell episodes are tossed off, and aside, in prime time tonight, as CBS uses the dog days of summer to amortize some of the losses from one of its comedy dogs from earlier this year. Jane Lynch stars. At least she did for a week or two, before CBS canceled the show and had all these episodes left over. Welcome, therefore, to Write-Off Theater.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 8:00 p.m. ET

Johnny Depp stars as Boston gangster and loose-cannon police informant “Whitey” Bulger in this 2015 movie, which co-stars Benedict Cumberbatch from Sherlock Holmes and Dakota Johnson from Fifty Shades of Grey.

 
  
 
 

Starz!, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: For those who are caught up on this series, don’t miss tonight’s Season 2 finale – or you’ll have to time-travel, via your DVR, in order to watch it. For a 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.
