Good morning. Sydney is bracing for Covid case numbers in the triple digits today, a “new space age” begins and Novak Djokovic clinches his sixth Wimbledon title.

Sydney reported 77 new coronavirus cases on Sunday and Australia’s first locally acquired coronavirus death this year. A 90-year-old woman, who authorities believe was unvaccinated, caught the virus from a family member. New South Wales premier Gladys Berejiklian said she expected daily cases to exceed 100 on Monday and to continue to increase during the week. Victoria closed its borders to travellers from NSW and the ACT, except for returning Victorian residents who will have to quarantine for 14 days. The government’s new “graphic and confronting” Covid TV ad showing a young woman gasping for air in hospital has sparked a backlash, while Anthony Albanese said Coalition’s new “Arm Yourself” vaccination campaign didn’t quite “cut it”.

A proposed new windfarm on Robbins Island off north-west Tasmania could threaten a disease-free Tasmanian devil population, according to federal environment officials, who say the damage to habitat could be difficult to offset. Correspondence obtained by Guardian Australia shows officials raised concerns that no comparable habitat existed anywhere else to compensate for the effects the project could have on the island’s unique devil colony.

Richard Branson successfully flew to the edge of space and back in his Virgin Galactic passenger rocket plane days ahead of a rival launch by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, as the billionaires compete to kick off a new era of space tourism. The spaceplane went into sub-orbital flight on Sunday morning, reaching 88km above the Earth’s surface. “Welcome to the dawn of a new space age,” Branson tweeted shortly after the flight, along with a picture of himself in zero gravity.

Covid breaches are on the rise in Australia’s hotel quarantine system, with data showing there have been as many leaks recorded in the past three months as there were last year. Experts say that the current system is “bound” to leak and that quarantining in hotels might be unsustainable in the face of more transmissible Covid strains such as Delta. “It was a good quick and dirty solution in April 2020, but since then we have seen and suffered from the limitations of such a system,” Dr Driss Ait Ouakrim, an epidemiologist at the University of Melbourne, said.

Investing in new social housing for survivors of domestic violence would not only give safety and security to those in need, it could also create tens of thousands of jobs, new research by the Everybody’s Home campaign found.

When the moderators of Subtle Asian Traits, a private Facebook group with nearly 2 million members, announced in June that it would be spun into an American TV series, the news was met with a flurry of cynical comments by its members. Some people expressed hopes that the series would not “become a negative stereotype for Asian people.” The group labels itself as “a community that celebrates the similarities and differences within the subtle traits of Asian culture and subcultures”. Now, its TV adaptation faces the challenge of adapting an internet phenomenon and questions of cultural representation.

Last year Australians bought more plants than ever. But some popular indoor plants can become invasive weeds when they do leave the house. “Most remnant bushlands in Sydney are on the creek-lines. These are shady, damp places with high nutrients from runoffs. They’re perfect conditions for indoor plants to thrive,” Marty Gauci, a community bushcare officer in western Sydney says.

For the first in our new series on the nation’s historic moments, Guardian Australia looks at a photograph of trailblazing athletes Fanny Durack and Mina Wylie at the 1912 Olympics, which were the first to include swimming events for women.

Half a century ago, Barry Kennedy was taken from his family and forced into an abusive Canadian system that sought to obliterate his Indigenous heritage. Now, after the discovery of more than 1,000 bodies in unmarked graves at schools including his own, he reflects on the traditions that were erased, the friends he lost – and Canada’s new reckoning with that history – in conversation with Rachel Humphreys.

Novak Djokovic won his sixth Wimbledon, beating Matteo Berrettini (4) 6-7 6-4 6-4 6-3 in a hard-fought men’s singles final. “It was more than a battle,” Djokovic said. With his latest victory, Djokovic has now won the first three grand slam titles of this year and is one title away from completing the grand slam. Above all, Djokovic has finally caught up with his great rivals, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, rising to join them on a three-way tie of 20 grand slam titles.

Tennis legend and Wiradjuri woman Evonne Goolagong Cawley paid a heartfelt tribute to “little sister” Ash Barty, saying she just sensed it was “her time” to win Wimbledon during Naidoc week. Barty’s victory over Karolina Pliskova 6-3, 6-7 (4), 6-3 on Saturday came 10 years after she won the Wimbledon girls’ singles title at age 15. She became the first Australian woman, and Indigenous Australian woman, to win Wimbledon since Cawley in 1980. As Emma Kemp writes, with her history triumph, Barty delivered a moment of inspiration to Australians across the world.

Guernica, Pablo Picasso’s monochrome howl of anti-fascist fury, is perhaps the most famous painting of the 20th century. Now, another “forgotten Guernica” is on its way to Bilbao Museum of Fine Arts. The Basque artist Agustín Ibarrola painted Guernica Gernikara in 1977 as part of a campaign to get Picasso’s masterpiece home to Spain. Now his work is being celebrated in its own right.
