tied with steffi graf for the most singles victories of all time. meanwhile, big sis venus is the talk of the turnberry. the oldest player in the women's draw at 36, she has beaten two players nearly half her age. it hasn't been easy though. in 2011 she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that causes fatigue. many wrote her off but she has defied the doubters and now back on centre court for her ninth wimbledon semifinal. >> she is a real fighter. like i always says it's super inspiring for me. >> we try to i guess find that balance of supporting each other but not brainwashing each other. >> and in case you missed it on the men's side unfortunately american sam querrey's magic run is over. however, andy murray and roger federer both squeaked it out to make it into the semifinals. it wasn't easy for either of them coming up we'll talk to patrick mcenroe about that and, of course, the williams sisters, for now, though back to you, michael, in the studio. >> she's happy. >> she's so happy there. she's at home right now. we're happy she's going to

. >> i hope if it happens that steffi graf is there. i would love to see her owe open. that would be great. i want to talk to you, this is another reason why you're here, people don't realize that september is afib month. first of all explain what it is. >> afib did an irregular heartbeat. i have afib. one out of every three people that have afib are going to have a permanent -- are going to have a stroke that will leave them permanently disaged. that's one of three who have it. so if you have afib, what jerry west and i have done we joined with jansen to start this website, myafibrisk.com and you can go to this and calculate your own stroke risk and that way every time somebody does go to it, jansen will give a contribution to mended hearts with which is a nonprofit peer-to-peer group network that helps heart patients, so it's very important to me personally. >> how were you diagnosed? >> i fainted -- you know, i've never gotten dizzy a long time ago, it was well over ten years. i just played tennis. we just came back to the apartment. i just got out of the taxi and i

williams is trying and now failing to match steffi graf's record of 22 grand slam wins. >>> and i would like you to meet a guy named mike donnelly, virginia's newest lottery winner thanks to a lucky mistake. donnelly works at a supermarket and printed out the wrong ticket who wanted to play powerball so he kept that drawing ticket for himself. he paid for it. you can guess what happened next. donnelly's ticket that he dent accidentally million in the payout. >>> a surfer in hawaii takes the term hang ten to a whole new level. check this out. tom dozlan was out surfing in maui on wednesday. look at that. a monster wave came up on him and he plunged nearly 40 feet into the ocean. surf league says it was one of the wildest craziest wipeouts they've ever seen. he suffered only a stiff neck and broken board, the board is gone, that's okay and in true surfer style he was back out in the water the next day. >> of course, he is. >> tough guy. >> surfers are so brave and courageous. >> or crazy and courageous. >> i think it's a combination of both of those two. combination. >> this is why couch

how to not only win wimbledon but tie that open era record set by steffi graf. >> it was awesome. i mean, i still really can't believe it that i have 22 titles and, you know, it's great. it just is a wonderful feeling and, wow. >> i noticed on the court you were talking to yourself a lot. what are you saying to yourself out there in those moments? >> well, i'm trying to be really positive to myself and always give myself positive feedback but i was like it's okay. you're doing pretty good. you're doing good. you're going to get it. >> what's it like to look up in your box and see your family, your best friends, your team, oh, and beyonce. >> yeah, no, i was really excited she was able to make it out. it was a good feeling to see my friends out there, my family and everyone and just, you know, it makes me want to work -- it really made me want to win even more. i don't want to let them down. >> what a relief, you did it. now you can look ahead. rio and u.s. open. let's not even focus on that. let's focus on right now. another wimbledon title with the greatest partner in the world,

graf for the most in the open era for women. next up, wimbledon, of course, where she won number 21 11 months ago where she beat -- >> muguruza. >> muguruza. by the way, you know who is also an excellent tennis player at this table, sara haines. >> you really think i'm great? >> you told me that you're good. >> but telling you and showing you are two very different things. >> it's still a good transition. >> you know what else i'm good at? i'll give you a list. >> we'll hear how good you are at mothering in just a second. right, sara. >> we missed your presence and your life lessons. dry out a little bit today. 8 inches falling in east harris county. 6 inches in two hours. a crazy amount of rain in a short amount of time that causes flood flash flooding. most of the moisture stream is heading east of that. this red circle, they say cancun this is a good chance of becoming a tropic a little cyclone or depression, hurricane hunter aircraft into this. it's bringing it into florida, probably won't develop into a major cyclone, messy

the last player to do that was steffi graf, who's probably the second-greatest player that ever lived behind serena. she did that 1988. before that it was done i think 1950. so this is very, very rare. >> jimmy: have you ever hit with serena? >> i have hit with serena. >> jimmy: if you played a serious match, who do you think would win that match? >> my daughters are over there. i think it's mixed. they think i'd probably lose to serena. i believe that i could still take her. >> jimmy: you do? [ cheers and applause ] >> 15 years ago, donald trump, who seems to be in the news a little bit -- >> jimmy: he's going to be our president soon, yes. laugh live. >> going to be the president, he made an offer which i felt like was not enough, and i think he was humoring the two of us. serena, she's got a lot to lose by losing to an old fart like myself. >> jimmy: right, it's not a great deal for her. >> if i lose to god forbid a woman, then i'm not allowed in any men's locker room for the next 15 years or possibly the end of my life. so that's part of why it's intriguing. >> jimmy: yeah. >> if
