saw him into the thiré—reuma.l itwas a day which saw a faéi number one stru led to et world number one struggled to get going but not but she was ever really allowed to put up comprehensively losing the first set to the american alison riske. the clue perhaps in the name. but that slow start soon gathered pace. winning the next two and three,

through to the second round. with the men less of a fightback and more ofa the men less of a fightback and more of a comeback for novak djokovic, only the 20th seed here and this was all beginning to look a little bit more familiar. forced to fight hardy came through to beat the spanish qualifierjaume munar, a glimpse of what the former champion can do. dusan lajovic have a tricky task of taking on number two seed alexander zverev. alexander zverev was clearly frustrated at at one set down, then the racket down. but there is a reason why is regarded as one of the most promising talents of the game for the finally finding his form for a five set victory. 0n caudate teen it was also ordered to fall recorded in the trough to progress, behind for much of his match the fourth seed needed almost 45 hours for victory. ten eight in the final set. the drama came late. amongst the

fightbacks and comebacks, serena williams continues hers, victory in the doubles, her tennis rather than herfashion now getting power is talking. let's take a look at things away from tennis... a new report on discrimination in russian football has highlighted an increase in the number of discriminatory chants inside stadiums. the study claims "deeply rooted issues" and a lack of prevention from clubs. speaking before the report, england's ashley young says the players have talked about what to do if they're subjected to racism during the world cup. hopefully these and uefa is anything is to come about they will be able to deal with it. whether it is going to deal with it. whether it is going to happen on the pitch or not, i'm sure, i'm not sure how you react to it. i'm sure we will talk about it and we have talked about it in the

squad. and what to do and whatnot to do. well one of england's opponents when the world cup does get underway is panama. they managed to hold northern ireland to a goalless draw in a friendly overnight.... as they prepare for their first trip to a world cup finals. panama came closest to scoring in panama city with a first—half header. their group opponents in russia are england, belgium and tunisia. just like northern ireland, scotland are playing friendlies far afield, against peru and mexico. the first of those matches ended in a 2—nil defeat in peru for alex mcleish‘s experimental line—up. 0ur scottish football reporter chris mclaughlin has more. it was a night of noise, colour and passion here, a very typical south american football experience but ultimately a night of disappointment for scotland. to have nil defeat in the end, first goal coming after the

defeat for alex mcleish and his squad. —— summer friendlies. let's have a quick look at some of the other football stories around today... where there's encouraging news regarding mohamed salah's world cup hopes. the egyptian fa say they don't expect him to be out for more than 3 weeks, meaning he could be fit for the world cup next month.. salah had arrived in spain yesterday for treatment on the shoulder he injured in the champions league final defeat to real madrid on saturday. huddersfield town boss david wagner, has signed a new contract with the club until 2021, having guided the club to safety in their first season in the premier league against the odds. aston villa captain john terry has left the club following their play—off final defeat to fulham on saturday. the former england captain joined the club on a one—year deal last summer after leaving chelsea. villa have thanked him for his "effort and professionalism". paul hurst is the new manager of championship side ipswich. he's signed a three—year deal after leaving shrewsbury and succeeds mick mccarthy at portman road. defender millie bright and midfielderjill scott have both returned to the england women's

squad for the world cup qualifier in russia on the 8th ofjune, after injury. also coming up in the programme... england's preparations for the second test with pakistan will not be affected by alleagations of match—fixing, say batsman keaton jennings. and manny pacquiao is back in training ahead of his wba welterweight title fight but is he hoping to lure floyd mayweather out of retirement? as long as people comeback and continue fighting there is a chance, it is possible. and we begin the second half of sportsday with that cricket story... the chief executive of the sport's governing body — the icc — says they are still to receive the full information relating to match—fixing allegations made in a documentary by broadcaster aljazeera over the weekend. england are remaining focused ahead of the second test against pakistan beginning at the end of this week at headingley.

despite the programme including accusations that they and australia players were involved in spot—fixing... both deny the claims, that the england camp have labelled ‘outrageous‘... i have walked in as a fresh face having not been a part of the last game and i don't think it has made any difference to the way the guys have repaired. obviously we deny everything that has been said but from my personal view i don't think it has made any difference. the guys still try their hardest and, like i said, it is something we deny. we are certainly aware of these groups of corrupt criminals, basically, around the world who are trying to get advantages when it comes to betting on cricket. our whole strategy has been about making sure we disrupt their efforts. education of players has increased tremendously now to the extent that the target at the highest level

is very difficult for these guys and that is what we are seeing and we are very much aware of their going to target the next level down, domestic leagues, even lower, third—grade cricketers, almost producing their own events they can fix themselves, that is the kind of level they are stooping to. we will fully investigate so we can say with confidence there is nothing to it or there is something we should worry about and we will take action. meanwhile, england's short—form captain eoin morgan has been named in the 0ne—day international squads to play scotland and australia next month after fracturing his finger on sunday. morgan chipped a bone in the end of his finger while fielding for middlesex but should be fit for the one—off 0di in edinburgh. wicketkeeperjos buttler will be rested against scotland, with sam billings replacing him in the 13—man squad. also making a return of sorts is the five—time paralympic champion ellie simmonds — who, of course, first rose to national attention at the beijing games a decade ago, at the age ofjust 13.

after competing at rio 2016 though, she came close to quitting the sport. after some time away she's back, and hoping to return to the british team for the european championships later this year. 0ur reporter kate grey has been to meet her. since the age of 13, ellie simmonds has been britain's golden girl in the pool. but ten years at the top had taken its toll and she fell out of love with the sport. in rio, it had definitely disappeared in the lead—up to it. i just hated swimming, i hated everything about it. a five—time paralympic champion, ellie had become a household name and she decided to take some time out of the limelight. ijust needed that time just to get away and refocus and realise what i wanted to do. so i decided just to take a year out and just go travelling. my love for swimming, i found my love back. i think in my year off, i think it really gave me a perspective of what the sport

is for me, and it's my life. ellie is now training here at the london aquatic centre, where she has many fond memories from racing to gold in front of 17,000 people in london 2012. she's also back with her old coach billy pye, who was with her at the very start, over ten years ago. if ellie would have finished in rio, and that was a possibility, yeah, it would have... ..not a sour taste, i suppose, but i suppose sort of unfinished business. now we've got an opportunity and a chance to finish that. hopefully then we will finish in tokyo, because i'm getting a bit too old for this! then the rest will be history. with renewed support and motivation, ellie's firstjob is to get back on the british team and qualify for the european championships in august. but it won't be easy with plenty of new talent on her toes. the world is moving forward and that's so good for paralympic sport and paralympic swimming.

so it's good that those youngsters are coming through, because i'm not going to be around all the time. i know that it's going to be really tough to get back on the team, but ijust want to enjoy it. i'd love to go out on a high in tokyo, that would be my main goal. from teenage superstar to paralympic legend — can ellie simmonds end her career at the top in tokyo? kate grey, bbc news, at the london aquatic centre. as one of the 2012 heroes ellie has helped show how sport can have a massive impact on one's life. as it has for a 15—year—old from west yorkshire... phoebe suthers has won an international tournament in deaf tennis, beating some of the world's best adult players along the way and dave edwards went to see her in training. you might think tennis is all about seeing the ball and knowing where to hit it. but hearing the ball is important too. it can give you vital clues about

where it is going and at what speed. and that can be crucial in a fast—paced sport where a split second really matters. so there is this little things that make a difference like how hard the ball is coming, the amount of spin that is on the ball. just those little things that make a big difference. at about ten days old phoebe's parents realised that she was not responding to sounds. they took her for a hearing test and were told that she was profoundly deaf. at first obviously we thought it was the end of the world but looking at phoebe now and the life that she leaves, she lives life to the full and it has an impact on her life but she does not let it stop her. phoebe took up the sport at the age of eight. at 12 she joined the tennis foundation's deaf tennis programme and made her gb debut.

at 15 she has just won the international deaf tennis open in slovenia, a tournament for players of any age. i do not think there is a limit to what you can achieve in the game — phoebe has got the next big international deaf tournament coming up in turkey. she has some pretty big regular competitions as well coming up — she is open—minded, she has got an exemplary attitude. so when you've got one of those it is easy. the tennis foundation are trying to get more people into tennis. personally it has been a big opportunity for me to help other people recognise this and join up for deaf tennis because it is 100% amazing. most days phoebe will either be training or competing and that is alongside her schoolwork. she is also making great strides against players who can hear. as for the future, she is reaching high. her aim is to be the best deaf tennis player in the world. after a one—year hiatus from the ring, manny pacquiao, is back in training ahead of his wba welterweight title fight with argentinian lucas matthysse.

after losing his last fight on points to australianjeff horn, the outcome of this bout will be crucial to the filipino boxer‘s career and reputation, as our philippines correspondent, howard johnson, now reports. pac man's back, and there's no sign he is ready to hang up his gloves any time soon. sign he is ready to hang manny pacquiao's training is under way two months ahead of the big fight. if he wins he'll gain an unprecedented 11th world title, but if he loses questions will be asked about whether it is time to call it a day on his glittering boxing career. and that's because he lost his last fight on points to australianjeff horn. speaking to the bbc, manny pacquiao said his forthcoming fight is crucial in determining whether he still has what it takes. this fight is the answer of all those questions, if my body does not respond any more, why am i pushing myself? this fight is going

to be the answer. so, is he fighting lucas matthysse in the hope he can lure floyd mayweather out of retirement for a rematch? well, as long as i will come back and continue fighting, then there is that chance. it is possible. someone who will be keenly watching the fight will be manny pacquiao's uncle. he taught his nephew to fight when he was just 12 years old. so what is his verdict on his nephew's chances? so, a crucial reputation saving fight late into

manny pacquiao's career. in the coming weeks he will step up training with his new lead coach and long—time friend buboy fernandes. the wba welterweight fight will be contested on 15july in malaysia. it's a big week for the british canoe slalom squad. .the european championships get underway in prague on friday.. canoe slalom is fast, physical, unforgiving....one of the most daunting of olympic sports. it's also one of our most successful. .and the legacy of the london 2012 olympics held at lee valley in hertfordshire is now bearing fruit. this from james burridge. on board with olympic champion joe clark. riding the rough—and—tumble of 11,000 litres of water. to stay in the moment is the biggest thing, with kind of a sport that is kind of reactive. it is quite windy here today so the poles move a little

bit. you've got surges in the water, it is not consistent most of the time. you don't get to practice the course before the race. so you just get to see it, visualise it, that is all mental so you do that with your psychologists. and then you get out there and just do it. at the last 0lympics team gb had a few tricks up their sleeves. their buoyancy design a cut above the rest. traditionally you would have a buoyancy aid which is quite thick with a separate spray deck. and the technology is actually to put both in one combined. what you see is the bottom here is, it would have been in the top half but has actually been placed in the bottom half. and for our sport it is really important for the athletes that they can get really close around the poles.
