cameron norrie, jack draper and harriet dart all going out in the first round on sunday, leaving just two to fly the flag in the singles draw, katie boulter and dan evans. one of them is on court right now. our tennis correspondent russell fuller is there. good russell fuller is there. evening and thank you for nipping good evening and thank you for nipping out from the action because dan evans is on court against holder bruna up against him and up against it. he bruna up against him and up against it. ., , , ., bruna up against him and up against it. he has the luxury of playing on the second _ it. he has the luxury of playing on the second show— it. he has the luxury of playing on the second show court _ it. he has the luxury of playing on the second show court here, - it. he has the luxury of playing on| the second show court here, there it. he has the luxury of playing on i the second show court here, there is a roof on that court which is in very much need today because as you can probably see and hear it is very windy and we have had a lot of rain but the to show court has continued under the roof evans has not a win on the atp tour this year in and in fact, only one win in french open singles in his seven previous visit so to draw a 13 seat and amend his

only plate here twice to reach the quarterfinals on both occasions it was a tough draw it was fairly tough that first set but rune edged it 6-4. that first set but rune edged it 6—4. katie boulter is a favourite, in theory if you look at the rankings because she is seated in a grand slam for the first time but a play court novice at this level and playing the 139 in the world but thatis playing the 139 in the world but that is because she went through the second half of the year with back problems. she was a world number two in the past and have been tipped to win this title in the past. so katie boulter will also have her work cut out later. �* ., ., ., . out later. another tough match cominu out later. another tough match coming un- _ out later. another tough match coming up. this _ out later. another tough match coming up. this overly - out later. another tough match i coming up. this overly impressive start staying with the women's game from ego to on tech yesterday. on the other side of the draw, arrigo sabalenka looks very strong today in the last couple of hours. has sabalenka looks very strong today in the last couple of hours.— the last couple of hours. as well as the last couple of hours. as well as the older sister _ the last couple of hours. as well as the older sister of _ the last couple of hours. as well as the older sister of mira _ the last couple of hours. as well as the older sister of mira and - the last couple of hours. as well as the older sister of mira and treva l the older sister of mira and treva who at the age of 16 reach the

there was a long list of candidates to take over from mauricio pochettino who was sacked last week, but the leicester manager is now their preferred choice. but what will this mean for the foxes, who won the championship under the italian to get them back into the prmier league at the first time of asking. charlie slater reports. it was as if they had onlyjust begun. in the doorfor it was as if they had onlyjust begun. in the door for less than a yearin begun. in the door for less than a year in on the face of it, at least after the perfect season. enzo maresca has not gone yet but the all the talk is that he will be if they can't agree compensation of around 8- £10 can't agree compensation of around 8— £10 million. can't agree compensation of around 8- £10 million-— 8- £10 million. leicester city are the championship _ 8- £10 million. leicester city are the championship champions. i 8- £10 million. leicester city are l the championship champions. ask 8- £10 million. leicester city are i the championship champions. ask any lesser fan and — the championship champions. ask any lesser fan and they _ the championship champions. ask any lesser fan and they will _ the championship champions. ask any lesser fan and they will tell _ the championship champions. ask any lesser fan and they will tell you i the championship champions. ask any lesser fan and they will tell you it i lesser fan and they will tell you it was not all straightforward. the faithful have not always love the football. but he was the man that took them straight back—up. he football. but he was the man that took them straight back-up. he has done his job — took them straight back-up. he has done his job and _ took them straight back-up. he has done his job and brought _ took them straight back-up. he has done his job and brought us - took them straight back-up. he has done his job and brought us back i took them straight back-up. he hasl done his job and brought us back up done hisjob and brought us back up so good _ done hisjob and brought us back up so good on — done hisjob and brought us back up so good on him. but if you is going to go. _ so good on him. but if you is going to go. he _ so good on him. but if you is going to go. he is— so good on him. but if you is going to go, he is got to go. but so good on him. but if you is going to go, he is got to go.— to go, he is got to go. but if it's a pointer— to go, he is got to go. but if it's a pointer i _ to go, he is got to go. but if it's a pointer i would _ to go, he is got to go. but if it's a pointer i would look— to go, he is got to go. but if it's a pointer i would look forward i to go, he is got to go. but if it's| a pointer i would look forward to see how— a pointer i would look forward to see how he _ a pointer i would look forward to see how he would've _ a pointer i would look forward to see how he would've cooked i a pointer i would look forward to| see how he would've cooked as a primarily— see how he would've cooked as a primarily miniature _ see how he would've cooked as a primarily miniature but _ see how he would've cooked as a primarily miniature but as - see how he would've cooked as a l primarily miniature but as a lustre fan i've _ primarily miniature but as a lustre fan i've seen— primarily miniature but as a lustre fan i've seen it_

be no surprise that enzo maresca could be on the move soon. so much for a quiet summer. so maresca to chelsea, vincent kompany to bayern munich, that's another one that has really come out of nowhere. but the burnley manager is very close to replacing the sacked thomas tuchel. what's the view from germany, here's the football writer and broadcaster constantin eckner. to be honest, there is no way to sugar—coat it. he is not the first or second choice or even the fifth or second choice or even the fifth or sixth choice, because bayern munich has reached out and contacted to a number of coaches and the list goes on and on. so they are almost running out of options, then they turned their hat to a number of primarily coaches and one of them was kompany. he is well known in

germany because he played in the lead to thousands and also well respected and of course there is the connection to pep guardiola the former buyer munich manager who is still very well respected among the hierarchs of buyer munich so that is why the name kompany came up and the director of sports at buyer munich has lobbied for kompany and said internally that they should give him a chance. �* , ~ . .,, internally that they should give him achance. �* , ~ . ., ., a chance. buyer munich has had a very disappointing _ a chance. buyer munich has had a very disappointing season - a chance. buyer munich has had a very disappointing season by i a chance. buyer munich has had a| very disappointing season by their own very high standards, but shouldn't managers, should that list of top managers, they should have been able to pick and choose whoever they wanted, is this embarrassing for them, do you think? it they wanted, is this embarrassing for them, do you think?— for them, do you think? it was embarrassing _ for them, do you think? it was embarrassing because - for them, do you think? it was embarrassing because they i for them, do you think? it was i embarrassing because they were rejected by a number of coaches. 1a saying he wants to stay with the austrian national team sink does not want to come back to club football

at the age of 65. that is something you can understand. they reached out to other clubs like crystal palace saying yes, he can get on before the hunt, demanding basically to price amount. there were different reasons, but buyer munich were walking back like a drunken sailor getting inside a bar and were checked at every door so for a club like them, it is somewhat embarrassing especially because they have a high opinion of themselves. drunken sailors as they shone be known. millie bright expected to feature for the first time for the lionesses since october. all the home nations play on friday all of them double—headers. wells will be in a wales have not beaten ukraine and the two previous meetings. that was backin the two previous meetings. that was

back in 2014. i think every game go into we never underestimate who we are playing against and we've always prepare for when we do get to these tournaments and finals that we are going to be playing against top opposition so just getting into good habits now and we are all really excited for the next two games and hopefully getting the points that we think we deserve and our performance will hopefully show. scotland are training in spain as they build up to their match at hampden park against israel. the tie will be played behind closed doors because of the potential for planned disruptions in protest over israel's continued military operation in gaza. everybody is really focused on arriving together and making sure they put on performances again. of course, we know it will be behind closed doors which obviously a different prospect we are used to ended it is a shame we don't get to have our home fans but we obviously

are aware for the safety of everyone which is obviously paramount that they have made that decision. northern ireland are preparing for matches against portugal. rachel furness, their all—time leading goal—scorer, has spoken for the first time about the mental health issues that saw her step away from international football following the euros in 2022. she says her decision to take almost a year away, was crucial in her recovery. she's has been speaking to our reporter andy gray. it was a long time coming. i think it is something that may be built up for a number of months. people think that you are a footballer, they don't really think of me as a person, what things look like off the page. being at the euros, sorry...

so, yeah. for me, being at the euros, i think midway through, i guess i was ready to go home. which you may think is crazy, but ijust was not happy. i was not happy with myself and the environment, personally, when i did step back it was a long time coming and one of the hardest decisions. one that even two years on, it still twitches and means a lot, but one that i can comfortably speak about now and no i am in a much better place for that. one promotion to the w soul with liverpool the sports personality award, did allowing yourself showing that vulnerability surprise

the rain. england lead 1—0. she says despite the victory in the first game they really do need to improve. how we played in derby was probably not how we would like to play the game. a little bit untidy with the ball and not our best in the field and equally do not put as much pressure on the pakistan bowling attackers as we would've liked to sew those areas and all of those facets that we would like to improve on. we know on our best day that we can beat any team. we saw that in the ashes last year with australia. we were able to put them under pressure and in key moments. that justice barely settled thatjustice barely settled on the premier league season one again by manchester city but most clubs have released their season ticket prices for 211—25 campaign and there have been some huge price increases for the fans. a study by bbc sport of more than 1600 primarily

we've seen some pretty hefty downpours getting going today and we have more of the same to come over the next few days, although there will be some drier, sunnier gaps in between the showers. so not a complete wash—out, but certainly a very mixed weather story. now, on the earlier satellite picture, you can see a fair bit of clouds streaming in from the atlantic, bringing outbreaks of rain. and in this clearer slice here, yes, we did see a little bit of sunshine, but that also allowed some big showers and the odd thunderstorm to pop up. some of those showers continuing through the evening into the night, most of them fading through the early hours of wednesday. so in most places, starting wednesday morning, on a dry note, temperatures ten, 11, 12 degrees, a fair amount of cloud, some showers from the word go, but most places seeing some spells of sunshine. now, as we go through the day, the showers will become more widespread across england, wales, northern ireland, perhaps most especially across scotland. here we will see some slow moving, heavy thundery downpours which could dump a lot of rain in a short space of time, leading to the risk of localised

flooding and some travel disruption. some of those really intense showers perhaps getting into the far north of england as well. further south, not as many showers, temperatures climbing to 20 or 21 degrees towards the south east of england. now through wednesday night into thursday. this area of low pressure will still be close by. but as it shifts eastwards and a little bit further southwards, well, that will shift the focus for the showers southwards as well. so the most widespread showers by thursday afternoon across southern and southeastern parts of england, further north and west, not as many showers, some spells of sunshine, quite a brisk north or north—westerly winds. so that will make it feel a little bit on the cool side, but still in the best of the sunshine — highs of 19 degrees. by friday, cloud and still some showers down towards the south and the east. also more cloud into the northern half of scotland. but in between, quite a lot of sunshine and certainly a drier end to the week. and that is a sign of things to come for the weekend because this area

of high pressure will be nosing its way in from the west. now, some big areas of cloud moving around the highs. so it's not going to be completely sunny, but it will be largely dry. and actually across northern areas, particularly parts of scotland, it is going to turn very warm indeed with temperatures by sunday of 22 or 23 degrees.
