weakness. the 12 time grand slam champion comfortably winning in straight sets to earn his place in the second round. things were much more challenging for kei nishikori in the italian capital. the world number 2a matched in every department by spain's feliciano lopez. applause but despite a season below his usual high standards, nishikori found a way to take the opener on a tie—break. and into the second, he never looked back. the japanese star leading from the off to take it 6—4. for nishikori, it won't be getting any easier, though, world numberfour grigor dimitrov waits in the second round. ninth seed david goffin also made it through. he took the first set from argentina's leonardo mayer 6-1. set from argentina's leonardo mayer 6—1. they met at the same stage in 2016 with goffin coming through a

moto gp classes at the moment. it was nice to be the one to have a world title. cal crutchlow's first moto gp race victory in the czech republic in 2016 ended a 35 year wait for a british win, his third in argentina last month made him the first briton to lead the world championships since sheen in 1979. crutchlow didn't have much time to savour the success, two crashes in his next two races saw him dropped to seventh. there wasn't pressure from the team, honda, the british public, myself, it wasjust from the team, honda, the british public, myself, it was just as from the team, honda, the british public, myself, it wasjust as it was and i think we have to take the positives of it, we were leading the championship and have had a good run so championship and have had a good run so far this season and we still got a lot of races to go. with his three race wins, crutchlow is the most successful british rider in grand prix racing since barry sheen but he says comparisons to the two—time world champion are unfair. to be so spoken of in the same sentence as

barry sheen is an honour, but he won a lot more world championships and races than me. a different level compared to what the british level is now. but we aren't trying to make it back to that. the legacy of barry sheen weighs heavy on all british riders in moto gp, but there's one thing that cal crutchlow can still achieve that even the great sheen couldn't, win the british grand prix here at silverstone. i've had a love hate relationship with silverstone over the last few years, my first grand prix i didn't race, was in the john radcliffe hospital with a broken collarbone. the podium in 2016, 2017 was fourth, you have to think it will turn around and we can win one. having ridden three different bikes in moto gp, crutchlow seems to have found his form on the honda. maybe, just maybe, britain's long wait for a moto gp crown may finally be over. azi farni, bbc news.

with it a little rain or drizzle. late sunshine in the far north—west but it's ahead of the front where we have the warm sunshine and perhaps highs of 23 celsius. the weather front pushes down from scotland and northern ireland, into northern parts of england and wales. still a bit of rain in drizzle on that, more cloud coming in off the north sea towards east anglia and perhaps the south—east. clearer skies, scotland and northern ireland, quite cold here. down to about two degrees or so. a chilly feel one way or another i think on wednesday. more of a breeze coming in off the north sea. more cloud for england and wales. maybe a little rain or drizzle heading down towards the south—west. nothing in the south—east, only 17 degrees here. further north, despite some sunshine, temperatures struggling to around 12 or 13. so a bit of a chilly feel on wednesday. the weather front does move away and high pressure begins to build in across the uk.

the winds begin to drop down a little bit. it may not feel quite so chilly on thursday. a little bit of a dry day, i think. some spells of sunshine around too. bit of cloud, fair weather cloud bubbling up, filling up a little bit inland. but a fine day, a dry day 17 degrees in london but 17 in glasgow, certainly an improvement here. pleasantly warm in the sunshine as well. there is a high pressure, still around the end of the week. notice we've got some weather fronts here. again, very weak, approaching the far west corner of the uk. another fine day just about everywhere on friday. some spells of sunshine, light winds too. more of an atlantic band of cloud coming to the west of northern ireland, the western isles of scotland may produce a few spots of rain but for many of us, it should feel a bit warmer on friday, those temperatures beginning to climb once again. the weather still find at least across england and wales this weekend, should be perfect weather for the royal wedding in windsor. sunny spells, dry, a temperature of 21 degrees celsius. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley.
