feel quite chilly. a few showers southwards, but don't expect any change in the weather pattern anytime soon, we have got more of the same on friday and the weekend. thanks, chris. and that's bbc news at six. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm hugh ferris. the headlines this evening. scheduling problems... slippery quartz... and now the french open has another problem, no more novak djokovic, the defending champion withdraws to injury. the rain is following england and scotland's cricketers, their opening match has delivered a six and onlyjust over six overs in barbados. maybe not mathematically a must win, but england do need to kick—start their euros qualifying campaign in france.

we always want to win games, and of course it would really help us to put us in a better position when we win the game. also coming up on sportsday... how climate change might impact rugby union for gloucester�*s him for more than a century and a quarter at most risk. hello again. a list of problems facing this year's french open hasjust got longer. novak djokovic has withdrawn from the touranment with a knee injury, ending his own defence of the title at roland garros. the world number one had been involved in the latest finish in french open history. before returning yesterday to deal not only with another marathon match, but also a slippery court, which djokovic then claimed had contributed to the injury which has

now forced him to pull out. ifa if a player is feeling a certain way and, you know, what else if a player is feeling a certain way and, you know, what else do if a player is feeling a certain way and, you know, what else do we if a player is feeling a certain way and, you know, what else do we need to wait for for that to happen? i mean, today i injured myself. yes, i survived. i won the match, great. what will i be able to play the next one? i don't know. i don't know the severity of injury, but could this injury have been prevented? possibly. if, you know, if there was just a little bit more of a frequent care of the court during the set. that's basically all i ask for. lets talk to our tennis correspondent who is in paris for us. more details on that injury. we understand what novak djokovic thought about it yesterday, but what has happened since? it’s

thought about it yesterday, but what has happened since?— has happened since? it's being described as _ has happened since? it's being described as a _ has happened since? it's being described as a torn _ has happened since? it's being described as a torn meniscus, | has happened since? it's being | described as a torn meniscus, a right knee problem. we don't know the severity of that injury, but it is a huge concern for novak djokovic with wimbledon starting in just four weeks' time and the olympics beginning injust under eight. he is desperate to win an olympic old medalfor the first time desperate to win an olympic old medal for the first time in his career and both of those events must have big question marks attached to them. it was a problem that he had come mild problem he said with his right knee coming into the championships, but in his mind it was very clearly aggravated by the court yesterday. he was slipping and sliding more then novak djokovic does, and there was a point early in the second set when he slipped and hurt that knee. now it appears quite badly. he is out of the tournament, he will not play in the quarterfinals tomorrow. there will be a first—time men's french open champion crowned on sunday. there will be no title, note 25 grand slam

title for djokovic and he becomes world number one for the first time on monday. world number one for the first time on monday-— on monday. slippery quartz, scheduling. _ on monday. slippery quartz, scheduling, there _ on monday. slippery quartz, scheduling, there have - on monday. slippery quartz, j scheduling, there have been on monday. slippery quartz, l scheduling, there have been a on monday. slippery quartz, _ scheduling, there have been a number of problems that the french open organisers have had to face. this probably the biggest one of them, partly because they seem to be linked, all three of them. the sli -e linked, all three of them. the slippery quartz _ linked, all three of them. the slippery quartz or— linked, all three of them. tue: slippery quartz or something linked, all three of them. he slippery quartz or something that novak djokovic made very, very clear, his disgust for during the match during his second consecutive five set match. he felt that the court had ruined his lead yesterday. he wanted them to sweep the court more regularly every four games instead of at the end of the sets, which is the convention. i think he's also got good reason to be unhappy about the scheduling because an extra match was added to the programme on saturday to catch up with the rain the problem has caused ljy with the rain the problem has caused

by the rain delay. and as a result five sets didn't finish until seven minutes past three in the morning. so there have been some scheduling mistakes, no question about it, and jabeur is upset with the fact that women are always scheduled first on weather �*s not the same atmosphere in the stadium. and get tea time matches which are also a popular time for spectators on site and television viewers around the world. you mentioned the world number one, he became the world number one whilst he was playing, so he didn't know about it until after he'd beaten his opponent.- know about it until after he'd beaten his opponent. know, pretty much the last _ beaten his opponent. know, pretty much the last person _ beaten his opponent. know, pretty much the last person to _ beaten his opponent. know, pretty much the last person to find - beaten his opponent. know, pretty much the last person to find out i much the last person to find out that he was going to be world number one on monday, but he did have victory in the end. dropped his serve when serving for the match, so you do wonder if he heard somehow, he got a whisper from around the court and it threw him off his stride. but she completed a straight sets victory by winning the tie—break. it was quite likely he

would take over as world number one anyway because if he won the title he would've been world number one. if novak djokovic had failed to get to the final, he would've been world number one. and you look at the way he has played since the back end of last year. he was the run—up in the finals, he won the cup in italy. no points awarded for that, australian open champion very fast start to the year, and even though he had a problem with his hip and had to miss his home it's been super consistent on to her. officially on monday, he will be a new world number one. the first ever italian to top the men's rankings. first ever italian to top the men's rankinas. ., , first ever italian to top the men's rankins. . , . ,, . . first ever italian to top the men's rankinas. . ,~ ,, _, rankings. really appreciate your time. rankings. really appreciate your time- thank _ rankings. really appreciate your time. thank you _ rankings. really appreciate your time. thank you very _ rankings. really appreciate your time. thank you very much - rankings. really appreciate your. time. thank you very much indeed. so the french open has its first semi finalists of the year, but even this wasn't without controversy. iga swiatek is through, as is coco gauff, but as russell was saying the american's win over ons jabeur began at ”am local time with very few there to watch, and it has brought more criticism of the scheduling at roland garros. patrick gearey has more.

paris rises slowly for a matinee. a crowd that did not quite match the occasion. because coco gauff against jabeur guarantees entertainment, power and magic. in the first set, jabeur let her imagination fly. until in the third game of the second set a jump at the shot. the set and assumed control in the third. even then, she could not fully switch off. jabeur would not surrender in heart or head. the problem? not every idea is a winner. oh, no! coco gauff the third seed matches into the semifinal while jabeur while jabeur is out, in every sense, a little

earlier than ideal. i would have loved a quarterfinal at night, not at 11am, for me, it doesn't make sense. you achieve a quarterfinal, you do not play at 11, you know? another month or so, the wind up with the wimbledon champion. but today she walked into a whirlwind. up against her, particularly eager swiatek. she didn't drop a game in her last match nor in the first set of this. 6—love. her opponent eventually managing two games, but swiatek was too good. she looks a champion in waiting with little need for patience. patrick geary, bbc news. they might be the defending champions, but england's path back to the euros next year is becoming increasingly tricky. their qualifying campaign has failed to get going, and on friday delivered a defeat to france to leave the lionesses third in their group. they're in st etienne to face the same opponents tonight with the stakes rising for sarina wiegman's side.

we always want to win the games, and of course, it would really help us to put us in a better position when we win the game. of course, that's how we are going to approach it and i think the experience we have on friday we feel comfortable that we can get a good result. let's speak tojo currie who's alongside me in the studio, and jo wiegman is having to answer more and more questions tired, predictable, even boring were some _ tired, predictable, even boring were some of— tired, predictable, even boring were some of the — tired, predictable, even boring were some of the words being banded around _ some of the words being banded around following that friday night defeat _ around following that friday night defeat to france. england not looking — defeat to france. england not looking as they have done in the last couple of years. a few reasons behind _ last couple of years. a few reasons behind that — last couple of years. a few reasons behind that simply because all teams and all— behind that simply because all teams and all sports peak and trough. they io and all sports peak and trough. they go through— and all sports peak and trough. they go through good faces and not so good _ go through good faces and not so good phases and the lionesses of course _ good phases and the lionesses of course when they won the euros in 2020 _ course when they won the euros in 2020 to— course when they won the euros in 2020 to reach the world cup final last year. — 2020 to reach the world cup final last year, right now they seem to be trough _ last year, right now they seem to be trough thing ever so slightly. people — trough thing ever so slightly. people talked about the fact that the team looked lethargic, which is fair, a _ the team looked lethargic, which is fair, a lot— the team looked lethargic, which is fair, a lot of— the team looked lethargic, which is fair, a lot of these players have gone _

they bowled uganda out forjust 58, taking 549. two further wickets. there's a new leader at the criterium du dauphine in france. young canadian rider derek gee pulled away on the uphill finish to stage three, to take a first professional victory and the yellowjersey with it. he said his first win in europe was "unbelievably special". and some f1 news — sergio perez has signed a new two—year contract to stay at red bull until the end of 2026. the world champions have decided to stick with the mexican, who joined the team in 2021. perez has not won a race since last year's azerbaijan grand prix . a new report commissioned by world rugby has revealed climate change could put grounds like gloucester�*s kingsholm stadium at risk of "marine submersion" in the future. more severe flooding and the effect of heatwaves on players are among the issues highlighted by a report that found

the consequences of climate change on rugby are "significant". jamie farndale is a scotland sevens player who is this report is far more wide reaching the mets come it's a worldwide report, looks at athletes and fans, the health and safety for myself as a rugby player, but it looks also the impact of being able to run these events in the first place and the whole business of sport behind it. these events are cancelled far more regularly you know, becomes a real issue for the sport. know, becomes a real issue for the sort. ~ ., �* , know, becomes a real issue for the sort. ~ . �*, . , sport. what's the answer? if there is to be a place — sport. what's the answer? if there is to be a place like _ sport. what's the answer? if there is to be a place like fiji, _ sport. what's the answer? if there is to be a place like fiji, for- is to be a place like fiji, for example, you can't move like a rugby camp showed. what's the best advice you can give?— you can give? looks at the impact of a 2 degrees — you can give? looks at the impact of a 2 degrees world _ you can give? looks at the impact of a 2 degrees world and _ you can give? looks at the impact of a 2 degrees world and a _ you can give? looks at the impact of a 2 degrees world and a three - a 2 degrees world and a three degrees world of warming above preindustrial levels. to put that in context, we are already at 1.5. the last 11 months of optimal over 1.5

degrees of warming, so 2 degrees isn't far away, and what to degrees in this report comes out as it is 60% of extra days above a temperature at which in three degrees, some places that goes up to 30 days extra but which it's dangerous to compete. the answer for me isn't adaptation and we are already seeing events that are changing, dates, starting earlier in the day, seeing heat breaks and ice towels, but sport has got a much more urgent need to deal with this by reducing its impact in terms of carbon but also in terms of its impact on nature. a global influence.— impact on nature. a global influence. ., . , , influence. you excel in the sevens form of the _ influence. you excel in the sevens form of the game, _ influence. you excel in the sevens form of the game, that _ influence. you excel in the sevens form of the game, that is - influence. you excel in the sevens form of the game, that is your - form of the game, that is your chosen speciality, that is if you think about it the most global 0t think about it the most global rrf rugby union because of the way that it tours around the world. it is perhaps in that form of the
