welcome along. british interest in the singles draws at the australian open was snuffed out in the first week, but for the past two years, there has been one recurring theme at grand slams. from roland garros to wimbledon to flushing meadows and melbourne park, alfie hewett and gordon reid winning the wheelchair doubles title. victory for the british pair in melbourne was their ninth in a row, a grand slam record for any draw. reid underplayed the significance of surpassing navratilova and shriver�*s doubles winning streak in the 805, but says their partnership can get even better. patrick gearey reports. for alfie hewett and gordon reid, this is like reading an old friend, a reunion that's become a tradition. on the top of your screen and soon

on top of the match, this was the road to their ninth straight grand slam title. there was a diversion. the pairfought back slam title. there was a diversion. the pair fought back to slam title. there was a diversion. the pairfought back to nip slam title. there was a diversion. the pair fought back to nip the second set. but when you've done it as often as hewett and reid, victory becomes a source of muscle memory. this was the third australian open, but winning never becomes boring. in the past couple years, they have seized every grand slam and available. different services, climates, opponents, with one formidable constant. i climates, opponents, with one formidable constant.— climates, opponents, with one formidable constant. i think i have a aood formidable constant. i think i have a good leader— formidable constant. i think i have a good leader next _ formidable constant. i think i have a good leader next to _ formidable constant. i think i have a good leader next to me. - formidable constant. i think i have a good leader next to me. ever. formidable constant. i think i have i a good leader next to me. ever since we first partnered, nine years ago now, he's always took me under his wing and mentor to me. i think that relationship never changed. i'm just a little bit fearless out there, and he's more composed and rational on the court. if he's more composed and rational on the court. ., , ., _ ., ., ~ the court. it would be easy to take alo for the court. it would be easy to take glory for granted. _ the court. it would be easy to take glory for granted, but _ the court. it would be easy to take glory for granted, but repeated . glory for granted, but repeated success requires that you keep going up success requires that you keep going up that hill. it sometimes hurts,

and when they won wimbledon last year, it was worry behind the finals. hewett was awaiting rule change, which could have excluded him. he had given much of his life to the sport. last november, he was cleared, and he might be coming back with even more excess baggage than his partner. he has the single final on thursday, but whatever happens, hewett and reid return at champions of the closest thing to a guarantee. fantastic achievement. and there was more success for great britain, with andy lapthorne winning the quad—wheelchair doubles alongside his american partner, david wagner. they won it on a championship tie break against dutch top seeds sam schroder and niels vink. it's lapthorne's 15th grand slam title and his sixth at the australian open. he told us he wants to inspire others. one of my main goals when we played that first match, when we played

here, to see 100 people all around the top, and again to watch two people in wheelchairs. this week, people in wheelchairs. this week, people tweeting and social media messages with disabilities that have watch me play live on tv. i never had that growing up. i had no one to look up to, no one really like me was on tv. for that to be changing is obviously absolutely massive for people with disabilities to see people with disabilities to see people like themselves on tv. it only helps grow the profile, only helps the next generation, and i truly believe that the next generation, as you are already seeing, is going to be incredible. the more we can get this on tv, the better. who won the quad doubles.

the semifinal line—up is complete in the singles draws. there was an emotional win for the american danielle collins, and the us open winner, danill medvedev, came through a gruelling five setter, the russian claiming afterwards that he channelled the spirit of the reigning melbourne champion to help him get past felix auger aliassime. joe lysnkey reports. these are the last four left in the min's draw. between number 21 major titles, but there is imbalance. 20 belong to rafael nadal, the other daniil medvedev. now he's on the charts to what he hopes is his era. medvedev started this quarterfinal slow. he was two sets down to felix auger aliassime when he found some conviction. up to now this year, no one had won from two sets down, but medvedev had gone from first gear to unstoppable. with novak djokovic

out, he's top seed, but not quite got to grips with that new identity. i don't really know what to do, so i was like, actually, i don't know if people will like it. but i told myself what novak would do. booing that's what came _ myself what novak would do. booing that's what came to _ myself what novak would do. booing that's what came to mind. _ myself what novak would do. booing that's what came to mind. if - myself what novak would do. booing that's what came to mind. if you - that's what came to mind. if you want to win it, fight to the last point. want to win it, fight to the last oint. , want to win it, fight to the last oint, , f want to win it, fight to the last oint. �*, point. this sport's new stars has new rivalries _ point. this sport's new stars has new rivalries already. _ point. this sport's new stars has new rivalries already. in - point. this sport's new stars has new rivalries already. in the - point. this sport's new stars has new rivalries already. in the lastj new rivalries already. in the last four, he'll have another shot. the greek won his quarterfinal without facing a break point. asked party may not have 20 majors, but for the aussie crowd, she's a superstar in the women's draw. the world number one is favourite —— auger ash barty. in april, she has surgery for

endometriosis, but she fought her way back on court. and within a year of the setback, she's not equal her best lamb. she plays in the last four, where collins's remarkable year could get even better. let's head to cameroon and the africa cup of nations, where there's just one more game to go in the last 16, before we get into the quarter—finals over the weekend. we can go live to douala and speak to our reporter mimi fawaz. mimi, i'm not sure this is good timing or bad timing. but it has gone to penalties. we are yet to get the first of those. how's the match gone up to this point?— the first of those. how's the match gone up to this point? yes, indeed, well it's the — gone up to this point? yes, indeed, well it's the atmosphere _ gone up to this point? yes, indeed, well it's the atmosphere as -

so it's an advantage to egypt. many thanks indeed, live from douala. could be a pivotal week in the scottish premiership. it's the old firm match this time next week. rangers lead will be cut to a point if they lose to livingstone and celtic win at hearts tonight. a big relegation scrap between the bottom two. stjohnstone will move above dundee if they win. scotland's top division and the title race is one of the topics on today's football news show, and how it could be one of the tightest in years. i think you look at the strength of the teams — i think you look at the strength of the teams and... full points in it 'ust the teams and... full points in it just now. — the teams and... full points in it just now, dependent on the next couple _ just now, dependent on the next couple games. i think everyone is looking _ couple games. i think everyone is looking ahead to next week, but there _ looking ahead to next week, but there are — looking ahead to next week, but there are a — looking ahead to next week, but there are a few games before we can -et there are a few games before we can get there _ there are a few games before we can get there i_ there are a few games before we can get there. i can see it coming down in the last— get there. i can see it coming down in the last game or two, maybe even a helicopter— in the last game or two, maybe even a helicopter involved.— a helicopter involved. laughter like the good — a helicopter involved. laughter like the good old _ a helicopter involved. laughter like the good old times. - that's jordan campbell,

positive cases in their squad to request a match to be called off. the need for fans to show covid passports has also been scrapped. a report has outlined how artificial snow at next month's beijing winter olympics "poses tough environmental questions", with more than 222 million litres of water being used. the games will be the first to rely on almost 100% on artificial snow. and harlequins' scrum—half danny care has signed a new contract with the reigning premiership champions. the 35—year—old joined quins in 2006 and is the club's top try—scorer, with 98. it's been four years since danny care last played for england. their build—up has been far from smooth ahead of the six nations championship that starts in ten days' time. we heard from all the head coaches and captains

at today's tournament launch, where it emerged that the england skipper will miss the entire tournament. here's our sports correspondent, joe wilson. well, this is almost a back to normal six nations. the media launch took place once again virtually with the teams dotted around europe. i guess the big news which broke during the session is the fact that owen farrell will miss the entire six nations tournament as he undergoes surgery. so, eddiejones will be missing the player who's always been his on the field reneral. ., ., , , , general. enormously disappointing for him and _ general. enormously disappointing for him and the _ general. enormously disappointing for him and the team, _ general. enormously disappointing for him and the team, but - general. enormously disappointing for him and the team, but it - for him and the team, but it creates an opportunity for us to strengthen the depths of our leadership and for other players to compete for the 12 jersey. over the last five or six years. jersey. over the last five or six ears. , , . ., ., , years. english destruction can only add to scottish _ years. english destruction can only add to scottish confidence - years. english destruction can only add to scottish confidence ahead l years. english destruction can only| add to scottish confidence ahead of

destination. we all come back and play here and we've played so many events in the middle east, that it's kind of a home from home, kind of vibe. you go into a venue you like and you play well. vibe. you go into a venue you like and you play well-— vibe. you go into a venue you like and you play well. what's your take on the european _ and you play well. what's your take on the european golf— and you play well. what's your take on the european golf scene - and you play well. what's your take on the european golf scene at the i on the european golf scene at the moment? because this is a season thatis moment? because this is a season that is starting in the backdrop to a record ryder cup defeat. you don't need reminding of that. but ijust wonder what that might tell us about the overall balance of the game. losing the ryder cup is really disappointing, but i think if you sit back and try and pull it apart to realise why we lost, how well the american team played, how we as european players are going to look to the next ten years as to how we

will take on that young energetic american team. we've got a few ageing players, me included! we can't play an awful lot more. we as the elder statesman as the team looked towards the youngsters today, that we feel need to come through. and i think we have a decent group of young players. they need to step up. they need to start delivering. for them to be able to push themselves into a european team, that can obviously take on a strong us team. speaking to ian carter, our golf correspondent in dubai. we were keeping you up—to—date with that penalty shoot—out in the cup of nations in douala. it has finished between ivory coast and egypt. would you believe it, egypt are through to the quarterfinals to face morocco.
