their manager. this is in the end of the matter, as much a sunderland and david moyes wish it was the case. the football association will write to david moyes asking for his observations, his side of the story, effectively. they must decide if a rule breaches have taken place and what, if any action they will take. the chief executive of women's aid polly neate, has urged the fa to send out a strong message, that there is no place for sexism and misogyny in modern football. she says...

well. it highlights probably the lack of disrespect and it is not a lot we are looking for, it basics. we need to recognise that the women's international team is not being treated as a second—class citizen, but a fifth class citizen. they are the dirt on the fai shoe. that is how they see them. heather watson is the defending champion at the monterray open but she's finding it tough going in her opening match after easing to the first set against nina stojanovic, watson then squandered two match points in the second set tie break and her racquet bore the brunt of her anger. she has gone a break up in the second set with her serbian opponent struggling with injury. danny willett will start the defence of his masters title alongside the american matt kuchar and the australian amateur curtis luck. it's been a tough 12 months for the yorkshireman who's struggled for form after becoming the first
