slam title won the next two 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 a grand slam is always special. winning your first. every grand slam. it was super special. but in roland garros, now with all of the spanish players who have won this tournament and to be able to put my name on that list is something unbelievable — something unbelievable — something that i dream about being in this position since i

started playing tennis, since i was five or six years old. so it's a great, great feeling. he is a beast. he's an animal, for sure — he is a beast. he's an animal, for sure. and the intensity that— for sure. and the intensity that he _ for sure. and the intensity that he plays tennis at is different to other people. and he can— different to other people. and he can do— different to other people. and he can do so many different things _ he can do so many different things i_ he can do so many different things. i think that he changes tactic— things. i think that he changes tactic a — things. i think that he changes tactic a lot in the fifth set. started _ tactic a lot in the fifth set. started to play a lot higher and — started to play a lot higher and a — started to play a lot higher and a lot deeper for me to not create — and a lot deeper for me to not create as— and a lot deeper for me to not create as much power — especially with the shadows on the court. it was slower again. but he's — the court. it was slower again. but he's a _ the court. it was slower again. but he's a fantastic player. and — but he's a fantastic player. and physically, he's fantastic. so i _ and physically, he's fantastic. so i have _ and physically, he's fantastic. so i have to look at myself and i so i have to look at myself and t have — so i have to look at myself and t have to — so i have to look at myself and i have to look the at the team that— i have to look the at the team that i— i have to look the at the team that i have and see what i can do to— that i have and see what i can do to become at the same level. so for zverev the wait goes on as he tries to reach the heights that australian open championjannick sinner and carlos alcaraz have reached this year. here's our tennis correspondent russell fuller.
2:47 am
alexander zverev is very middle—aged compared to the two other, because he's 27. and hard for him mentally having lost another final over five sets to really think that he can compete with the very, very best in the game. you would suspect that he would have more opportunities. alcarez is very similar age to jannick condition sinner. winner on surfaces. seven men have done that and he's the youngest. and the only one is on the hard courts of the australian open, and there's absolutely no reason to think why he wouldn't be able to win that as well. so he is the player of the current crop of those names that we mentioned, who is most likely to be the dominant player of his era. butjust to remind him that there's some serious competition out there. in a while, it could be sinner and not carlos alcaraz who could take over as the new world men's number one. meanwhile the us open champion coco gauff and katerina siniakova won the women's doubles title — with a straight sets
2:48 am
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,000fans. put into 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
2:49 am
the calmness. because when we were batting in the morning, there was a lot more help. and when we started bowling, the skies opened up and the skies stopped and there wasn't a lot of lateral movement. so we had to be more consistent and more accurate. we as a unit were very calm and clear with what we wanted to do so we were happy that we could contribute and create that pressure. i knew it was going to be a really tight game because it's not an easy wicket to bat on. and sometimes, the small little attention to detail can make a massive difference. but credit to the bowlers, i thought that they did job on the whole. to be honest with you, we had that game for 35 of the 40 overs. really, we had the game. we played good cricket and did everything that we needed to. so it's a disappointing loss. elswhere, scotland comfortably beat oman by 7 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 1a overs as richie berrington's side delivered a statement win. that result means scotland currently top group b having after 3 games, they sitjust above australia who's convincing victory over england has put the the current world cup holder's chances of progressing to the super 8's in serious doubt. our cricket correspondent henry morean was at that game in bridgetown — and says england are making too many bad decisions. well, it's very easy to overreact to such things. and perhaps, if we have 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 into a little bit of a habit now of making bold calls at the decisions of the captain and the coach that just aren't working. yesterday, they won the toss, elected to bowl first.
2:51 am
yes, both captains said that they would have done the same thing, but it didn't pay off. there was the decision to bowl willjackson in the second over. that over went for 22 and australia were flying. you go back to the 50—over world cup and the decision to bowl in the mumbai heat against south africa proved to be a really disappointing and incorrect decision from england's point of view. so it starts to build up a bit of a pattern where the big calls are being made and england are getting them wrong and it's costing them cricket matches. but what they've got to do quite simply against namibia and oman is to win big. they've got to boost the net run rate and got to find a way of clawing themselves back into having some degrow of control in the group and also build a little bit of confidence, if nothing else. they'd expect to build namibia and oman and beat them handsomely. the other factor is that although the time of the year, although it is boutful here in the caribbean, there is rain around. if england were to lose another rain to the weather, that would cause real problems. normal service has resumed for the formula one championship leader max vertsappen after he won a rain affected canadian grand prix.
2:52 am
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 mercedez, 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 soboda 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 to, despite not getting the best start for me, being able to work it back. and that's definitely a new skill that's definitely a new skill that we've worked really hard on. but yeah, i did. that was a

bit hairy! just a little bit! but you know, 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 matteo jorgenson 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 8 seconds to spare, to win the dauphine for the second time in his career. golf, and scottie sheffler's incredible success continues as he claimed victory at the memorial tournament. he finished just one shot ahead of colin morikawa for his 11th pga tour title. he's the first player to win 5 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
2:54 am
from soderberg who needed par on the last to win. 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. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. weather for the week ahead is perhaps not the story you want. no significant summer sunshine or warmth, i'm afraid. in fact, the story in armagh on sunday really sets the scene — just a high of ten degrees. we had cloudy skies with light rain or drizzle with a cool northerly wind as well. now, that rain
2:55 am
is sinking its way steadily southwards 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 a rash of showers, a cold, brisk wind driving those showers in off exposed coasts and drifting their way steadily south across scotland and northern ireland as we go through the morning. here's our cloud and rain still lingering across east yorkshire, lincolnshire first thing in the morning, some heavier bursts that will ease away. best of any brighter skies, perhaps across southern england down to the south—west. here, showers should be few and further between. but nevertheless, that wind direction still really digging in right across the country. so sunny spells, scattered showers, a brisk northwesterly wind for many, so temperatures just below par really for this time of year, a maximum of 10—15 degrees for most. we might see highs of 17 or 18 if we get some sunshine
2:56 am
across south west england and wales. now, as we move out of monday into tuesday, the low pressure drifts off to scandinavia, high pressure builds. it should start to kill off some of the showers out to the west. but with those clearing skies, well, those temperatures will be below path through the night as well, low single figures for some, quite a chilly start to our tuesday morning. hopefully some sunshine around on tuesday. there will continue to be some showers, most frequent ones running down 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 10—15 once again. moving out of tuesday into wednesday, winds will fall lighter still for a time, but there's 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
2:57 am
little bit milder, but also wetter as we head into the weekend.

emmanuel macron, called a snap parliamentary vote sunday night after his centrist alliance was trounced by the far—right in european parliament elections. in a speech after exit polls were released, he said he could not ignore the results and he said he could not ignore the results and the dissolving parliament is an act of trust in the french people. translation: the rise - of nationalists and demagogues is a danger for our nation but also for europe, for france's position in europe and in the world. and i say this even though we have just celebrated with the whole world the normandy landing, and as in a few weeks we will welcome the world for the olympic and paralympic games. yes, the far—right is both the result of the impoverishment of the french and the downgrading of our country, so at the end of this day, i cannot act as if nothing had happened. the far—right party was the
