watt my increasingly force, six, ten we are increasingly force, six, ten in andover. 500 possible? is it going to get demoralising for every generation of bowlers to be in that position? it is demoralising already. 500, i believe that is a realistic target for our one—day team. the destructive nature of our batting line—up can certainly do that. that was joe wilson speaking at trent bridge ahead of that game against pakistan tomorrow. that lawn tennis association looks to increase participation in bame communities. and the team getting great britain out onto the ice in the best possible shape.

nick kyrgios has been disqualified from his second round match at the italian open after throwing a tantrum on court during his second round match in rome. the crowds there are magnificent. they get very energised. there was a lot of to and through between the player and the crowd. he was docked a game for unsportsmanlike conduct. his reaction was less than impressive. he decided to throw his racket to the floor. he kicked his racket to the floor. he kicked his racket across the clay. then the plastic chair was hurled into the centre of the court. at that point he felt he was not going to

continue. before the empire had a chance to disqualify him he packed up chance to disqualify him he packed up his bags and walked off court. that was the end of the two limit for him. he isa for him. he is a fantastic player to watch. he is a fantastic player to watch. he has got all the shots, all the tricks. but he was band three years ago for eight weeks after he walked off meds match in the shanghai masters. he has had a series of disciplinary issues. he admitted to using psychologists to help sort himself out mentally, i2 using psychologists to help sort himself out mentally, 12 months ago. has he got to go down that route ain? has he got to go down that route again? it seems to be such a waste ofa again? it seems to be such a waste of a talent at the moment. i think he continues to have that conversation from time to time. everybody thinks, for goodness' sake, pull yourself together. you are blessed with this talent, use it properly, do not waste your career. but it is never that simple. that does not mean i am defending his behaviour. but as he sees himself, i think he uses this as a defence

mechanism, he will say he knows he needs to work harder on his conditioning, work harder in preseason, playlist basketball, it would be a good thing to get a coach, but he likes the fact that he can call the shots and control his own life. in a sense he is making excuses for himself in advance. he will be the most talked about player when the french open gets under way in is, sadly for the wrong reasons, not because he's a genuine contender for the title but because once again he is headline news for the reasons we have been discussing. if he is not band. could that be can back from this? it is more likely to be a heavy fine. to insist that you referred to earlier, one in montreal in 2015, when he made some very unsavoury comments about his opponent's girlfriend, that were clearly audible on court, he was given a suspended ban, one year later, in shanghai, he was given that each

week ban. i suspect it will be a heavy fine this time. but his track record does come into consideration when these decisions are taken. johanna konta is through to the quarterfinals after having to play twice today. she is having an extraordinary year on clay. she has now won eight matches. she has reached the final, and now in rome playing fantastic tennis. she has always said she is capable of playing like this and she enjoys playing on the surface. it's just that results have not always borne that out. but a fine victory against stevens and then a straight sets victory over a clearly restricted venus williams. after rain had wiped out play. if she winds her quarterfinal tomorrow againstan winds her quarterfinal tomorrow against an opponent yet to be determined there is the chance of being seeded for the french open, that had mean a lot to her, if you

are seeded you cannot play another seed for the first couple of rounds. thank you. for the second year running the lawn tennis association has announced a massive financial loss. 8.8 million pounds this year, that they blame on a downturn in the global market affecting their investments. they continue to invest plenty of time and effort in widening their participation levels, and this year, were the first governing body to sign sport england's charter, which aims to tackle the barriers that people from disadvantaged and bame communities face in accessing sport. rhia chohan reports. history, tradition. it is often what tennis brings to mind. but the sports brand is not always the most diverse. our major events are held in affluent areas, wimbledon, edgbaston, you would be forgiven for

thinking this is still a posh sport. ba rely thinking this is still a posh sport. barely a handful of british players of colour have played grand slams in the open era. sport england has previously criticised that lawn tennis association for failing to open participation to wider groups. they have not done a good enoughjob of making its more relevant, accessible, welcoming and enjoyable to anyone who wants to play. we need to anyone who wants to play. we need to encourage as many communities to open their doors to the community in which they operate. for many from disadvantaged backgrounds in bame communities, getting the opportunity to pick up a racket is not an option. for the last three years the lawn tennis association has been taking a sport to underserved communities across the country, youth clubs, temples. lot of the young people think tennis is not a sport for them. they think they will get kicked off they and play there. i only see it as a

positive, a great way to inspire young kids to pick up the game, we wa nt young kids to pick up the game, we want to open our sport to as many people as possible, make it as accessible as possible. this can only help. if this was not year i would not have played tennis. only help. if this was not year i would not have played tennislj only help. if this was not year i would not have played tennis. i get to make friends with people. i experienced a new sport. you had fun? yes. the lawn tennis association became this the first sport governing body to commit to address the barriers to tennis for many in the country. it will not happen overnight but they have taken a long needed step towards shaping eight more are presented in game, at least at grassroots level. eight more are presented in game, at least at grassroots levellj eight more are presented in game, at least at grassroots level. i never knew tennis had this much community. i was not expecting this.
