hello there, this is your update from the bbc sport centre. we'll start with tennis — and there was a debut defeat for carlos alcaraz, at the season ending atp finals . the spaniard took the first set, but ended up losing in three, against alex zverev, a two—time champion in the event. the wimbledon champion missed last year's tournament with an abdominal injury and had been suffering with foot and back issues last month, and said he found trouble coping with the indoor court in turin.... they put this course on so fast. i don't know why. i'm not going to say they should do the tournament outdoor or indoor. i don't understand about the speed of the surface because we never played on a

surface because we never played on a surface like this in the year. daniil medvedev is in the same group as alcaraz and zverev and the russian won his opening match against compatriot andrey rublev. and the form of alcaraz has been in the spotlight. he hasn't won a tournament since wimbledon and medvedev said he wasn't surprised to see the lower ranked zverev cause an upset. we feel that carlos place just a little bit slower, he doesn't have the same confidence he had throughout the year. this can happen to everyone, this even happened to novak, when he was younger. the question is how fast he will recover, is it going to be this tournament or next year? when he lost a second set, they showed the speed of the strokes, ground strokes and sasha was ten kilometres higher than carlos and this is very surprising. there's doubles action ongoing at the finals in turin — but later on, two exciting group games to look forward to —

with world number one novak djokovic in action. djokovic plays in the late match against home favourite jannik sinner. the serb has won all three competitive meetings between the pair. before that, it's holger rune, playing in his first atp finals — against stefanos tsitsipas, both looking to bounce back from opening match defeats at the tournament. former arsenal, chelsea and barcelona midfielder cesc fabregas has been named interim manager of italian side como. it's the spaniards first senior management role. he played 17 times for the serie b side last season, before retiring to become coach of their youth and reserve teams. fabregas is also a shareholder of the club. his first match in charge will be after the international break. the club says a permanent appointment will be made in the "near future". as tommy fleetwood prepares for the season—ending dp tour world championship, the world number 15 took some time to celebrate the one year anniversary of his tommy fleetwood academy. fleetwood

and his six—year—old son frankie joined a large group in a par three contest as part of the celebrations which also saw fleetwood hand out scholarships to the academy to two neurodiverse children who attend a dubai—based sports academy called �*heroes of hope a dubai—based sports academy called �*heroes of hope'. we have a huge freight container that we have turned into a golf simulator. we have been taking it around schools in dubai and the uae. giving kids the opportunity to experience what golf is about in a really cool environment. it’s experience what golf is about in a really cool environment.— experience what golf is about in a really cool environment. it's one of the best initiatives _ really cool environment. it's one of the best initiatives you _ really cool environment. it's one of the best initiatives you can - really cool environment. it's one of the best initiatives you can think i the best initiatives you can think of and _ the best initiatives you can think of and again, the prime example of the benefits of the game, of the joy it can _ the benefits of the game, of the joy it can bring — the benefits of the game, of the joy it can bring and how far it can take you _ it can bring and how far it can take you for— it can bring and how far it can take you for as — it can bring and how far it can take you. for as long as we can we will continue — you. for as long as we can we will continue to— you. for as long as we can we will continue to do that and having the opportunity to do something so special— opportunity to do something so special is — opportunity to do something so special is good for us. the nhl hall of fame saw three goalies inducted on monday — for the first time in more than 60 years.

there will be showers in northern ireland, england and wales and clear skies as well. under the clear skies in the north of scotland, where the winds will fall lighter, it will be cold enough for some frost. not so as we head further south. tomorrow, we have this weather front bringing in some cloud and some showery rain across northern ireland and parts of central and southern scotland, into northern england, extending down to the wash. on either side of that, we once again are looking at dry weather and sunshine, with just a few showers around. temperatures, seven in the north and 13 as we push down towards the south. more of a complicated picture into thursday, we have two areas of low pressure. both of them look very much like they are coming our way. the one anchored into the north—west is going to bring in this rain across western areas, pushing east through the course of the day, and the other one is coming up from the south, bringing in some rain. it could be windy with this one as well but that, too,

will take the rain pushing eastwards and temperatures down a touch on the moment. the rain clears on friday and then a lot of dry weather. it will be a cold and frosty start with showers coming into the north—west, some of those will be wintry and then later on, more rain piles in with strengthening winds to the south—west. temperatures, eight in the north to widely ten or 11 degrees.
