hello there and welcome along to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. history for djokovic, but not as he'd like it, at the french open. the world number one with a new benchmark for a late finish in paris. the centre of attention — jude bellingham basks in the glory of champions league success. his england team—mates can't wait to see him back. and success, at last, for laurie canter, as the englishman has the edge in a tight field at the european open. hello there and welcome along to sportsday. that's all to come, but we start with news that's reached us in the last half an hour or so that rugby league legend rob burrow has died. he was 41 years old. burrow was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2019, just two years after he ended his playing career with rugby league side leeds rhinos. he, his family and his great friend

and former team—mate kevin sinfield have raised millions of pounds for mnd charities. sally nugent reports. rob burrow�*s life is defined by his defiance of the odds. as the smallest player in a giant's game, he was world—class. burrow! seventh try... absolute legend. pound for pound, probably the strongest player we had in the squad and the strongest guy who's played in super league. so honoured to have played alongside him. born on the 26th of september 1982 and raised in the rugby league heartland of west yorkshire, it was obvious at an early age that rob wanted to be a professional in the sport he loved. they always used to say, "oh, he's good, that rob, but he's never going to make it cos he's not big enough." after signing for leeds rhinos as a teenager, he went on to become one of their greatest.

but not long into retirement, he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. it was a condition he faced with incredible positivity. i'm not giving in till my last breath. you know, i have too many reasons to live. the love he had for his family and the love they had for him shone through as rob made his private battle a public one, to help raise awareness of mnd. rob's aim was to be a voice, to raise awareness for other people that were suffering and going through this. first, when rob was diagnosed, i was the one that would break down in tears, and rob would be, you know, "pull yourself together, lindsey. we can get through this." the wider rugby league family also united behind him to raise funds for research into a condition that has no cure and no treatment. who's got the most. tries out of you two? 0h, him by a long way. laughter i think he knows that as well.

is he laughing? yeah, he is. hopefully through the campaigning we have done, we have helped to make people aware of mnd and to give people and families affected by the disease some hope. we have to keep raising funds to fight this disease until we have a cure. rob burrow overcame so many challenges on and off the field. he will always be remembered as a giant, weather wearing the blue and amber of his beloved leeds or wearing the warmest of smiles in the face of a cruel disease. rob burrow, who's died at the age of 41. to fallout at the french open, where the concern over late finishes continues to be raised by the big names. the defending champion iga swiatek and world number three coco gauff today saying matches ending at 3am are unhealthy.

it follows the five—setter which saw novak djokovic, the men's champion, wrapping up his win to make the fourth round at 3.07am in the morning. a late finish indeed. and our tennis correspondent russell fuller was covering all the way to the end! russell, hope you got some rest and after that! russell, hope you got some rest and afterthat! history russell, hope you got some rest and after that! history for novak djokovic, but he has had a bit to say on this? he djokovic, but he has had a bit to say on this?— say on this? he was quite diplomatic, _ say on this? he was quite diplomatic, though, - say on this? he was quite diplomatic, though, after| say on this? he was quite - diplomatic, though, after the say on this? he was quite _ diplomatic, though, after the match yesterday. he gave a brief press conference to a few journalists yesterday. he gave a brief press conference to a fewjournalists at 3:30am and said that he feels the scheduling could be handled differently, but now is not the time to talk about it. he really wanted to celebrate what was quite a brilliant match, any performances of himself and lorenzo miss eddie. the reason they started so late was because of all the rain we had first weekend. yesterday was no exception. there were other players not so lucky to have a roof over their heads and it was gregor dimitrov...

brought onto the court to play and after match, and that meant djokovic cosmic patch did not start until... four and a half hours later, it was gone three a:m.. the decision was made with the best of intentions, but this is the trouble tennis has. does not seem bothered about what time play finishes. daniel medvedev had a match at the australian open this year which finished at 3:40am, when carlos al presl neck us open 2022, he had two matches that finished well after two a:m.. it does not document it is possible to recover from these late finishes, but it is even harder when you're 37 years of age as djokovic is. find even harder when you're 37 years of age as djokovic is.— age as djokovic is. and we turn attention to — age as djokovic is. and we turn attention to carlos _ age as djokovic is. and we turn attention to carlos alcaraz. - age as djokovic is. and we turn attention to carlos alcaraz. is l age as djokovic is. and we turn. attention to carlos alcaraz. is he the beat at this tournament? i attention to carlos alcaraz. is he the beat at this tournament? i think he miaht the beat at this tournament? i think he mightjust _ the beat at this tournament? i think he mightjust be _ the beat at this tournament? i think he mightjust be my— the beat at this tournament? i think he mightjust be my man _ the beat at this tournament? i think he mightjust be my man to - the beat at this tournament? i think he mightjust be my man to beat. . he mightjust be my man to beat. genic centre would be the other obvious one, and despite the late

finish last night, we saw sign novak djokovic�*s game is improving quite hermetically ——jannik djokovic�*s game is improving quite hermetically —— jannik sinner. those are the three obvious names. alcaraz had a problem with his right forearm coming into the french open and jannik sinner, who plays in the night session, had with his hip, but they both have medical start and alcaraz won very easily today. there was a bit of a problem for the canadian in the second set, but alcaraz was in complete control by then and he is certainly delighted with the progress he has made over the first four rounds. he will plate stiffness at the pass in the quarterfinals.— stiffness at the pass in the uuarterfinals. ., ., ., quarterfinals. turning our attention to the women's _ quarterfinals. turning our attention to the women's side _ quarterfinals. turning our attention to the women's side of— quarterfinals. turning our attention to the women's side of the - quarterfinals. turning our attention to the women's side of the draw, . quarterfinals. turning our attention l to the women's side of the draw, iga swiatek got it done in less than an hour, in great time, a0 minutes, impressive. hour, in great time, 40 minutes, impressive-— hour, in great time, 40 minutes, imressive. , ., ., impressive. yes, we have had some very one-sided _ impressive. yes, we have had some very one-sided matches _ impressive. yes, we have had some very one-sided matches in - impressive. yes, we have had some very one-sided matches in the - very one—sided matches in the women's draw today, because actually you have had three grand slam champions and honestjabber, a three

the england manager will be without several key players, after a long season, for the match with bosnia & herzegovina at st james' park, with iceland at wembley to follow on friday. the likes of harry kane and jack grealish trained today — 26 of the 33 training squad were there. manchester city's phil foden and john stones among those being rested. but southgate feels the team gelling together early will help in the build up. we are going to be together, i think is another a3 days or whatever, till the final. not everyone of those daysis the final. not everyone of those days is going to be a great one, not every hour is going to be perfect, but we are trying to embed some principles this week in what we have talked about, and what we have worked on, and, you, tomorrow's the first sort of opportunity to display that in public. champions league winner jude bellingham is missing both games this week after his season with real madrid and his huge role in the team's success. bellingham was part of the celebrations at wembley last night, helping the side beat borussia dortmund to win the european cup.

he was also named la liga player of the year, scoring 23 goals in all competitions. and atjust 20 years old, his england team—mates hope he can bring some of that stardust to their campaign. it does not seem like he is a 20—year—old, he is so much old for his age, and it comes with pressure as well. especially play for real madrid. he has took it by stride, and a fair play to him. all the boys are absolutely delighted for him, not just the are absolutely delighted for him, notjust the champions league but the season he has had. so we are looking for to meeting up with him and hopefully he can bring that form with england. goalkeeper mary earps has withdrawn from the england squad for tuesday's european championship qualifier against france in saint—etienne. she was forced off after just seven minutes of the 2—1 defeat at home to the same opponents on friday, with what's described as a "minor" hip injury. it was england's first defeat in euro qualifying since 2002. they're now third in their group, needing a top two finish to go on and defend their title in switzerland next summer.

england's laurie canter said it was a great feeling after claiming his first tour win at the european open in hamburg. he began the day as joint leader and was often just a shot ahead of the competition, until he hit birdies at the 15th, and then the 16th, with this superb putt. canterfinished on 13 under par, two shots clear of the field, and said it had been difficult waiting for his maiden victory, but it would now open up opportunities for him. in the next hour or so, scotland's bob macintyre tees off as leader in the final of the canadian open. he moved to ia—under par on day three, with a round of 66 that included a run of three birdies and an eagle. after working with a number of caddies at recent tournaments, macintyre found himself without one in ontario, so his father dougie is carrying his bag this week. and there's a three—way tie at the top of the leaderbard going into the final round of the women's us open in pennsylvania.

thailand's wichanee meechai starts on five under par, alongside the american andrea lee, and minjee lee of australia. the leaders go out in the next hour. as the olympic games in paris draw ever closer, athletes are continuing their preparations at the diamond league meeting in stockholm — and there's been success for laura muir in the women's 1,500 metres. britain's olympic silver medallist was looking for her first diamond league victory since the end of last year, and she comfortably left the others trailing in her wake. the scot could only finish fourth in the event at last month's meeting in oregon. the women's 100 metres has been won by gina mariam bass bitaye of the gambia. britain's daryll neita withdrew from the race to concentrate on preparations for the upcoming european athletics championships in rome, which start next friday. in super league, salford are back in to the play—off places after a 3a—a win over london broncos. only one score separated the sides at the break, but five second—half tries — including two for tim lafai — led them to victory.

the win takes salford above leeds rhinos and into sixth, whilst london remain bottom of the table with one win from 13 games. england's harry brook says he has no regrets about taking a break from cricket to grieve for his grandmother, who passed away this summer. brook is part of the squad in the caribbean, as england begin the defence of their t20 world cup title against scotland in barbados on tuesday. brook's been building back up to fitness with county side yorkshire and is now raring to go. awesome to be back with england, and i really enjoyed my little stick with torture as well. having five games, playing with some really close mates and just trying to enjoy the cricket that i was playing. it was nice to have a little bit of a break, obviously not under great circumstances. but it was nice to get away from cricket for a while and concentrate on the family at that time and, yeah, come, and like isaid, that time and, yeah, come, and like i said, play for yorkshire and osha's rearing to get back playing, to be honest. i was really looking

forward to it. yeah, it's good to be back here with the group of lads. the tournament got going in the early hours of this morning with an historic victory for the co—hosts the usa, and they had aaronjones largely to thank. they beat canada by seven wickets in texas, jones hitting an unbeaten 9a in just a0 balls, belting ten sixes along the way, as they reached their target of 195 with more than two overs to spare. that was the usa's highest ever run chase. it's obviously a great feeling when you're playing at home, obviously the majority of the fans are obviously backing us, and i obviously backing us, and i obviously wanted, especially because america is not really a cricketing country, in quotes, i wanted to win the first game of the tournament and against canada for our fans. and we did that. we have some great players, to be honest with you, and we want to keep winning as much as possible. of course we cannot win every game for the rest of our lives, but we want to win as many gives as possible and be as many

teams as possible, and it showed the us has great cricketers in the country. great win for them. a record crowd for the darts in north america saw england's rob cross just edge a thrilling us masters final against welshman gerwyn price at madison square garden in new york. cross hadn't been ahead at any stage of the final until the decisive leg, but he came through when it mattered and he took the match 8—7. they played in front of 3,500 fans. and cross stressed the importance of the world series, saying darts was as big as it had ever been and they were taking it around the globe. a day after equalling his uncle joey's record for the most wins at the isle of man tt, michael dunlop was brought back down to earth. despite breaking the superbike lap record, a problem with the visor on his helmet forced him to stop to fix it and he finished fourth. he's got another six chances to surpass the total over the coming week. meanwhile, defending champion francesco bagnaia completed a sprint—race double at the italian motogp on a "difficult weekend" for championship leader jorge martin.

the spaniard saw his lead cut from 39 points to 18 after crashing out of yesterday's sprint and finishing third in today's race at mugello in tuscany. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. oit tanak has leapfrogged britain's elvin evans into second place in the world rally championship's driver standings after a surprise victory at the rally italy sardegna. a puncture saw eight time champion sebastien ogier lose byjust two tenths of a second, equalling the record for the closest finish. denmark's mads pedersen won the opening stage of the criterium du dauphine, one of the key warm—up races for the tour de france. britain's owain doull was fifth. there was a frantic end to great britain's match against india in the london leg of hockey�*s pro league. gb led 2—1, but india drew level with four minutes to go, before izzy petter scored the gb�*s winner just seconds later. britain's men also beat india, 3—1. and saracens strengthened

their hold on second place in the premiership women's rugby table with a 33—2a win against loughborough lightning. it was a comfortable win for sarries, with a brace for tori sellors, scoring two in as many minutes. you're up to date with the day's action here on sportsday. now we're going to take a look at the managerial situation at chelsea. they're set to appoint enzo maresca as their new head coach, following the departure of mauricio pochettino. terms have apparently been agreed for a five—year deal. maresca joined leicester city last summer and led them straight back to the premier league, having worked alongside pep guardiola during manchester city's treble—winning campaign the previous season. for an in—depth look at this, here's ben croucher and the football news show. hello there, welcome back to the football news show. we recorded this episode on wednesday, before any

announcement of chelsea's new manager has been made. if it is a little out of date, you know why. let's get into it, because mauricio pochettino has less just one year at stamford bridge, meaning chelsea's new owners have six thomas tuchel, graham potter, seen rick partake of recharge and it seemed riccio pochettino leave by mutual consent. thomas tuchel has the best record of that four. pochettino's record certainly improved was the end of the season. all of this now points towards enzo maresca. we will dive into his credential shortly, but first bbc sport's told me how chelsea are going down the head coach model rather than a traditional manager stop eli think they have got a real structure in place but they're trying to come this kind of yellow neck modern behemoth club, with departments, so you've got these boarding rectors doing transfers, managing every thing, but they are doing the transfers. —— sporting directors. it is not for the manager to have a

huge input there. there really the vision makers, the sporting directors. it isjust vision makers, the sporting directors. it is just the vision makers, the sporting directors. it isjust the management of the players, just the tactics, and that's about it. improve the players development. they are going to have young players, they are doubling down on that strategy of young players as well. so whatever young players as well. so whatever you think, a lot of people don't like it, some chelsea fans don't like it, some chelsea fans don't like it, some chelsea fans don't like it, like any wider football committee are scratching their head. chelsea think is the winning formula and theyjust need a coach to come in and do the coaching, and that's what they may be see enzo maresca fit more in that approach. let’s fit more in that approach. let's seak fit more in that approach. let's s - eak to fit more in that approach. let's speak to someone _ fit more in that approach. let's speak to someone who - fit more in that approach. let's speak to someone who knows the men very well. we had you on the show a couple of weeks ago, and you said that he could very well walk away from lester cities back to me than promoted. was it a case of him just waiting for the right offer —— leicester city? waiting for the right offer -- leicester city?—

waiting for the right offer -- leicester city? waiting for the right offer -- leicester ci ? ., ., ., leicester city? not at all. he went to monaco — leicester city? not at all. he went to monaco and _ leicester city? not at all. he went to monaco and met _ leicester city? not at all. he went to monaco and met the _ leicester city? not at all. he went to monaco and met the owner - leicester city? not at all. he went i to monaco and met the owner of any conversations were about, how can we have a solid lester makes it in the premier league? and that which by, getting more players, or different types of players or better players. if that was possible, and of course improving the infrastructure and also how the team is built behind the scenes. that was the conversation that was had. after the success and the style of football that he put in practice in the championship, let's not forget that leicester city finished quite clear winners of the competition, such a tough competition, he was going to have offers, and one your cup winning side wanted him and chelsea is another one, that feel he can help. the flexy is going to get a five—year deal suggest that they have seen not only somebody that is

chelsea quality but somebody that has got the energy to actually keep improving on chelsea and taking them to be top four again, and all that comes on the base of two things leicester city and, number two, the interview was very impressive. they felt, enzo maresca, we will see. he is a champion manager. they came out of it thinking, it has to be him. a five year deal at chelsea, that does not sound like the chelsea we know. is it realistically a long—term project or does he need to deliver success instantly? he project or does he need to deliver success instantly?— project or does he need to deliver success instantly? he had the turn ofthe success instantly? he had the turn of the question, _ success instantly? he had the turn of the question, chelsea, - success instantly? he had the turn i of the question, chelsea, long-term, of the question, chelsea, long—term, it does go together, but in terms of what else chelsea can prove they want long—term, five—year deal suggest they want long—term. but you've got a young manager with not

a lot of years of experience, which means that he's easier to go and full of energy. one of the youngest squads, if not the youngest in the division, with the ambition to actually go further, but also with a platform that pochettino has left of a team that's yet again competitive in europe, closer to the top four. so it sounds like they want a long—term project, or long enough to actually give the reins to somebody with one idea to try to convince everyone of his idea, and with the years to make it better and better and better. just years to make it better and better and better-— and better. just lastly, what convinces — and better. just lastly, what convinces you _ and better. just lastly, what convinces you that - and better. just lastly, what convinces you that maresca | and better. just lastly, what. convinces you that maresca can and better. just lastly, what - convinces you that maresca can and will be a success at chelsea? obviously, i note enzo, and i see him being methodical. he impressed the owners of chelsea with his

knowledge of notjust the the owners of chelsea with his knowledge of not just the first chemo chelsea but the under 20 threes and what can be brought forward. —— first team at chelsea. he is not going to leave a stone unturned. he isjust going to go for it, because he's got the energy, the strength, the wish, the desire to do that, to push chelsea forward. and i'm sure he's very aware of how big chelsea are, but how attractive it is also a boys happening to him. i've got the idea that is not going to be in management for a long, long time, so he wanted to choose well, so everybody�*s happy, his family's is happy, his kids and wife, who did not want to leave leicester, really. kelsey is a club that's a story. all that, plus what he has learned through being a play or a manager next to pep guardiola —— chelsea is a club. all that, it's enough to

make this chelsea better. what do fans want from _ make this chelsea better. what do fans want from the _ make this chelsea better. what do fans want from the new _ make this chelsea better. what do fans want from the new boss, - make this chelsea better. what do i fans want from the new boss, then? tim nichols is with me. i am going to rejoice sentence firstly. maresca has to get top four and a trophy, otherwise he can go, nothing less. that was you on social media. no pressure, then! ho. that was you on social media. no pressure, then!— pressure, then! no. but i think if ou look pressure, then! no. but i think if you look at _ pressure, then! no. but i think if you look at the _ pressure, then! no. but i think if you look at the last _ pressure, then! no. but i think if you look at the last couple - pressure, then! no. but i think if you look at the last couple of - you look at the last couple of seasons, _ you look at the last couple of seasons, if you look the ambitions of the _ seasons, if you look the ambitions of the owners, if you look at the statement — of the owners, if you look at the statement they made at the end of the task_ statement they made at the end of the lask imita season, they talk about— the lask imita season, they talk about competing for trophies and regular— about competing for trophies and regular getting into top four —— last game _ regular getting into top four —— last game of the season. if you're going _ last game of the season. if you're going to _ last game of the season. if you're going tojudge pochettino on last game of the season. if you're going to judge pochettino on the standards, maresca should also be judged _ standards, maresca should also be judged on — standards, maresca should also be judged on those standards, and i think— judged on those standards, and i think as — judged on those standards, and i think as big a club as chelsea are, we should — think as big a club as chelsea are, we should be competing at the very, very top— we should be competing at the very, very top of— we should be competing at the very, very top of the premier league, so for me. _ very top of the premier league, so for me. he — very top of the premier league, so for me, he has got to win a trophy and get _ for me, he has got to win a trophy and get top — for me, he has got to win a trophy and get top four. but for me, he has got to win a trophy and get top four.— for me, he has got to win a trophy and get top four. but if it does not work out, and get top four. but if it does not work out. you'd — and get top four. but if it does not work out, you'd be _ and get top four. but if it does not work out, you'd be back— and get top four. but if it does not work out, you'd be back again - and get top four. but if it does not work out, you'd be back again in i work out, you'd be back again in this same position again this time

in dorset, with beach—goers enjoying the warm june sunshine, but cloudy skies worked in across stirling. now, overnight tonight, the cloud we've got in scotland and northern ireland — thick enough for occasional spots of rain — will push southwards. so overall it's going to be turning cloudier through the night, and given that, it's a milder night compared with last night — lows of between 10—13 degrees for most of us. tomorrow, well, we start off with cloudy skies for northern ireland, western parts of england, wales, with the cloud thick enough for an occasional spot of drizzle, maybe one or two mist and fog patches for coastal hills too. through the day, the cloud may well thin and break, particularly to the east of high ground, to allow some sunny spells through. and we should see some sunshine developing in scotland through the day, with just a few showers across the far north. where thejune sunshine comes out, temperatures high teens to low 20s. that should feel quite pleasant, but it will feel less pleasant as we head into tuesday and wednesday. low pressure to the north of the uk is going to be sending much colder air our way.

and so with that, we'll see rain or showers across the northern half of the uk in particular. chilly winds here, and with the downpours working in, particularly for scotland, quite a few of these will have hail and thunder mixed in. a few showers developing further south. now, temperatures still doing ok across england and wales, but it's going to be turning quite chilly for scotland and northern ireland, particularly in those brisk and gusty winds. and it's a very similar—looking weather picture for wednesday — showers and thunderstorms, again, some with hail across the northern half of the uk, the driest weather across good parts of wales, the midlands, east anglia and southern counties of england. temperatures, high teens to low 20s will feel ok across england and wales, but still chilly for scotland and northern ireland with those brisk winds. and there's no great change in that weather pattern. it stays cool and showery for scotland and northern ireland, england and wales having the best of the dry and sunny weather.
