welcome along. thank you forjoining us. we start with a history—making win for carlos alcaraz — the new french open champion who, at the age of 21, is the youngest man to win grand slams on all three surfaces, after he beat alexander zverev in a gripping five—set final at roland—garros. alcaraz — bottom of your screen — who's previously won the us open and wimbledon, took the opening set, playing the better tennis. but zverev, hoping to win his first grand slam title, won the next two sets and looked on course for victory, only for the spanish third seed to find another gear. he only lost three games in the final two sets, as he fulfilled what he called his "childhood dream" and emulated one of his heroes

and compatriot, rafael nadal. winning the grand slam is a wee special. winning your first grand is always super special —— is always special. but in roland—garros, knowing that all the tennis, all the spanish players who have won this tournament, to be able to put my name on that amazing list is something unbelievable. something that i dream about being in this position since i started playing tennis. since i was five, six years old. so it is a great feeling. he was five, six years old. 50 it is a great feeling.— is a great feeling. he is a beast, is a great feeling. he is a beast. he _ is a great feeling. he is a beast, he is _ is a great feeling. he is a beast, he is an _ is a great feeling. he is a beast, he is an animal, l is a great feeling. he is a l beast, he is an animal, for sure — beast, he is an animal, for sure and _ beast, he is an animal, for sure. and the intensity he plays _ sure. and the intensity he plays tennis that is different towards _ plays tennis that is different towards other people. you know, he can _ towards other people. you know, he can do— towards other people. you know, he can do so many different things. _ he can do so many different things, right? ithink he can do so many different things, right? i think he changes tactics a lot and starts _ changes tactics a lot and starts to play a lot higher and deep — starts to play a lot higher and deep in — starts to play a lot higher and deep in the fifth set. for me

to not— deep in the fifth set. for me to not create as much power, especially — to not create as much power, especially with the shadows on the court, it was slower again. but he — the court, it was slower again. but he is — the court, it was slower again. but he is a _ the court, it was slower again. but he is a fantastic player and — but he is a fantastic player and physically, he's fantastic. so i _ and physically, he's fantastic. sol have _ and physically, he's fantastic. so i have to look at myself and i have — so i have to look at myself and i have to — so i have to look at myself and i have to look at the team i have — i have to look at the team i have and _ i have to look at the team i have. and see, you know, what i can do— have. and see, you know, what i can do to — have. and see, you know, what i can do to become at the same tevet — so for zverev, the wait goes on, as he tries to reach the heights that australian open championjannik sinner and carlos alcaraz have reached this year. here's our tennis correspondent, russell fuller. well, zverev is very middle—aged compared to the other two. middle—aged compared to the othertwo. he middle—aged compared to the other two. he is now 27 and mentally after losing another final over five sets to really think he can compete with the very best in the game. you will suspect he will have more opportunities. alcaraz is only just 21, a similar age to sinner. and as you pointed out, the winner on three different surfaces. seven men have done that now. he's the youngest by

quite some margin. and the only one he has not won is on the hard courts of the australian open and that is absolutely no reason to think he would not be able to win that as well. so he is the player of the current crop of those names we have mentioned who is most likely to be the dominant player of his era. butjust to remind him there is serious competition out there, and a few hours' time, it is sinner of italy and not carlos alcaraz who takes over as the new men's world number one. meanwhile, the us open champion coco gauff and katerina siniakova won the women's doubles title with a straight—sets victory over sara errani and jasmine paolini, who lost the singles final on saturday. it's gauff�*s first doubles title at a grand slam. at the men's t20 cricket world cup, india survived a scare to beat pakistan in a thriller in new york, in front of over 3a,000 fans. put in to bat in slippery conditions after morning rain, india struggled for runs — virat kohli out for just 4. rishabh pant�*s aggressive 42

was imperative, but their 119 all out didn't look like it would be good enough. and with muhammad rizwan setting about chasing down that total, pakistan were heading to victory. 80 for 3, with six overs left. but jasprit bumrah spearheaded a brilliant fightback, took 3 for ia, as pakistan fell short. two defeats from two for them, whilst india are on the brink of qualifying for the super 8s. the biggest positive for us was the calmness. because when we were batting in the morning, there was a lot more heat and when we started bowling, the skies opened up and there was not a lot of lateral movement. so we had to be more consistent and more accurate. and we as a unit of very calm and clear on what we wanted to do. so very happy that as a unit, we were able to contribute and created that pressure. and then we were able to get the win. i

that pressure. and then we were able to get the win.— able to get the win. i knew it was going — able to get the win. i knew it was going to _ able to get the win. i knew it was going to be _ able to get the win. i knew it was going to be a _ able to get the win. i knew it was going to be a really - able to get the win. i knew itj was going to be a really tight game — was going to be a really tight game because it is not an easy wicket— game because it is not an easy wicket to — game because it is not an easy wicket to bat on. and sometimes, those small attention to detail can make a massive — attention to detail can make a massive difference. but credit to them, _ massive difference. but credit to them, they did a greatjob on the — to them, they did a greatjob on the whole. to be honest, we had that— on the whole. to be honest, we had that game for 35 or 40 overs _ had that game for 35 or 40 overs. really, we had the game, we played — overs. really, we had the game, we played good cricket and did everything we needed to. so it is a disappointing loss. elswhere, scotland comfortably beat oman by seven wickets for their second win of the tournament. a wonderful unbeaten 61 from brandon mcmullen guided the scots to their target of 151 in under 14 overs, as richie berrington�*s side delivered a statement win. that result means scotland currently top group b. after three games, they sit just above australia, whose convincing victory over england has put the current world cup holders' chances of progressing to the super 8s in serious doubt. our cricket correspondent henry moeran was at that game in bridgetown and says england are making too many bad decisions.

well, it is very easy to overreact to such things and perhaps if we had not seen what happened in the 50 over world cup last year, it would be put down to one bad day at the office yesterday. but england are getting a little bit of a habit now of making old calls, the decisions of the captain and the coatjos buttler and matthew that are not working. they won the toss and elected to bowl first and both captains say they would do the same thing, it did not pay off. they bowled willjack�*s in the second over, australia were flying. go back to the 50 over world cup, there is decision to bowl in the mob i eat again south africa proved to be a really disappointing and incorrect decision for england —— in the mumbai heat against south africa. it builds up pattern where calls are being made and england get them wrong and it cost them cricket matches. quite simply against

namibia and oman, they have to win big, they have to boost the net run rate and find a way of clawing their way back into having some degree of control in this group. of course, they will build a little confidence if nothing else. they will expect to beat namibia and oman handsomely. the other factor is although it is beautiful here today in a caribbean, there is rain around. if england were to lose another game to the weather, that does cause real problems. —— the caribbean. normal service has resumed for the formula one championship leader max vertsappen, after he won a rain—affected canadian grand prix. the three—time world champion could only manage sixth at the monaco grand prix a fortnight ago. despite missing out on pole to george russell in montreal, the changeable conditions saw two safety cars, and verstappen was able to get ahead during pitstops to take victory. in a thrilling battle behind him, lando norris claimed second in his mercedes ahead of fellow british driver mclaren�*s george russell, who completed the podium. at the european athletics championships in rome,

britain's dina asher—smith has won gold in the women's 100 metres. she took victory in 10.99 seconds, crossing the line ahead of poland's ewa swoboda and italy's zaynab dosso. it's asher—smith's first major international medal since winning european 200 metres silver in 2022. i'v e i've been working really hard on my top end speed and i was really happy, despite not getting the best start for me, being able to wake it back. that is definitely a new skill we have worked really hard on. but yes, that was a bit hairy! just a little bit! but you know, i made it! with the tour de france three weeks away, primoz roglic has showed his yellowjersey credentials by winning the criterium du dauphine with a gutsy ride on the final day. carlos rodriguez, of the ineos grenadiers, won stage 8, but matteojorgenson — who was in second place overall — wasjust behind him, meaning a struggling roglic had to finish within 56

seconds of the american. he made it across the line with eight seconds to spare, to win the dauphine for the second time in his career. golf, and scottie scheffler�*s incredible success continues, as he claimed victory at the memorial tournament. he finished just one shot ahead of collin morikawa for his 11th pga tour title. he's the first player to win five times in a season sincejustin thomas in 2017. meanwhile, linn grant came from 11 shots back on the final day to become the first woman to win two dp world tour titles, as sebastian soderberg blew an eight—shot lead in the final round of the scandinavian mixed. an extraordinary implosion from soderberg, who needed par on the last to win. he had this shot for bogey for a playoff — but remarkably, his effort lipped out, making it a final—round 77 and handing grant victory by one shot, after her final round of 65. all the more special in her home town of helsingborg. and reminder before you go. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app,

orfrom our website — including reaction to the french open win of carlos alcaraz. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. the weather for the week ahead is not what you want, no significant one. the story on sunday really sets the scene. just a high of 10 degrees. we had cloudy skies with light rain or drizzle come up with a cool northerly wind as well. that rain is sinking steadily westwards and it will clear away from eastern england and south—east england during monday morning. behind it, this northerly wind and this cooler air source starts to kick in across the country. so showers, cold, with brisk wind driving those showers of exposed coasts and drifting steadily sell

across scotland and northern ireland as we go through the morning. this is the cloud and rain, still lingering across to ease yorkshire, lincolnshire, first thing in the morning. heavier bursts. that eases away. best of any brighter skies across southern england and to the south west. here, showers fewer and further between, but nevertheless, the wind direction still really digging in across the country. so sunny spells, scattered showers, a brisk north—westerly wind for many. so temperatures just below par really for this time of year. a maximum of ten to 15 degrees for most. we might see highs of 17 or 18 if we get some sunshine across south west england and wales. as we move out on monday into tuesday, the low drifts to scandinavia, high pressure builds. it should kill off some of the showers towards the west. but with those clearing skies, temperatures will be below par through the night as well. low single figures. and, quite a chilly start to our

tuesday morning. hopefully some sunshine on tuesday. there will continue to be showers, most frequently through central and eastern scotland and england. further west, some brighter skies and once again, highs of 17 degrees. but for many, just a maximum of ten to 15 once again. moving out of tuesday and wednesday, the winds fall later for a time. and wednesday, the winds fall laterfor a time. but and wednesday, the winds fall later for a time. but there and wednesday, the winds fall laterfor a time. but there is another low pushing in and that will bring some wetter weather to close out the end of the working week. it will gradually start to change the wind direction. so after a drier day on wednesday, it will turn that little bit milder, but also wetter as we head into the weekend.
