6:33 pm
something which really struck a nerve with swiatek when she heard the news. i was crying for 30 minutes, basically, both because of, you know, her retirement, i didn't really know it's going to happen and it really surprised me because i always had this vision that we are going to all play until we are 35 or something, until our bodies are going to be so tired that we can't any more. her decision was really brave. ifelt a lot any more. her decision was really brave. i felt a lot of emotions because of that, but also because of my position, as you already know how the rules work, i didn't know if she can make a decision that she's going to keep her ranking arejust can make a decision that she's going to keep her ranking are just not be in the rankings any more. after two hours of being really emotional, i realised that you don't know what's going to happen, and you still have to win some matches and make a decision, so let's wait with the
6:34 pm
emotions and with being excited because we have work to do. after india, i didn't have time to digest it. forsure, right now india, i didn't have time to digest it. for sure, right now i'm going to take some time to, i don't know, analyse what happened from a work point of view, but emotionally, yeah, i mean, it's really intense. i felt a lot of emotions from, you know, i kind think when you are proud of the satisfaction to, confusion, surprise, because honestly, i keep repeating that this past week showed me that i can trust in myself a little bit more and trust my skills and my tennis and my head in the match, but before i didn't know it was possible for me to have a streak like that. so it's also kind of surprised me. and britain has a new world number one in tennis too, joe salisbury — who today is confirmed as top of the rankings

6:40 pm
we went through a difficult period, and he managed to keep his calm and his cool. and managed to return the situation, i would say. all the credit to him. and the work he has been doing, and the results that he's had lately have been really positive. everything you do is about the whole team. every individual has a role, every unit has a role, the team has to be with the right level of focus, aggression, understanding of what can happen, and try to avoid it. every phase of the game that we tried to train it, to practise it, and to improve it to the highest level. what we have to do is when the football matches —— what we have to do is win the football matches that we need to do to achieve what we want, and that's only in our hands. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines today derby council says it is committed to the survival of derby county, but has stopped short of agreeing

6:46 pm
out of my hands. it's something that was forced upon us to call it quits. looking, you know, trying to come back from an injury, it was always going to be tough. listening to the advice of the specialists going if you do continue, two years coming your way of life will be totally different. you will struggle to walk, so taking everything in and looking at it going, right, actually, this is it. this is not what i've dreamed of, but i need to take the advice and look to the future of the long life of hopefully being quite healthy. figs future of the long life of hopefully being quite healthy.— being quite healthy. as serious as that, that being quite healthy. as serious as that. that you _ being quite healthy. as serious as that, that you might _ being quite healthy. as serious as that, that you might not - being quite healthy. as serious as that, that you might not be - being quite healthy. as serious as that, that you might not be able l being quite healthy. as serious as| that, that you might not be able to talk if you ignore the advice. pretty much. it would be a full hip replacement by the age of 25. and going again from that, it's a long road from there, there is more to life than football. it takes a lot of time and a lot of questions of,
6:47 pm
you know, myself of why, sleepless nights, took a while to deal with what i heard when i first heard it. i completely sound out because i didn't want to hear what i was being told. it was have a dream i've ever had since growing up, all i've known is football and to have something that i've wanted all my life taken away from us in an instant, not down to me, butjust down to, you know, some things you can't control and being forced to go, right, this dream is over. for now. but looking at it, it is the right decision. paul will stand there. it really is the story that has the golf world talking the potential comeback of tiger woods, at this week's masters. woods, who won at augusta back in 2019, suffered serious leg injuries in a car crash 14 months and hasn't played since. the fact he's back practising on the famous course has thrilled and tantalised fans into believing he could feature — woods himself says a game—time decision.

it was her first tour title — and kupcho observed the event's tradition byjumping into poppie's pond by the 18th green, along with her caddy and husband. they'll be the last to do that though — after 50 years at mission hills country club, the tournament is moving to a new home in houston, texas next season. icame i came out trying to shoot a couple under. i mean, i had a six stroke lead and i shot eight under yesterday, so i think it if someone can do that, then they deserve to be in the playoffs. so that was really my mentality and that's what i was fighting for all day. i think it's a rail to be a major winner. it was really special, and to be the last person here at mission hills to jump into poppy's pond, it's all really special. it sure is. will they miss it though? who knows.

after a chilly weekend, monday brought us a much milder day. atlantic air flooding into the uk, bringing plenty of cloud, though, and some rain along with it. through the week ahead, we are going to see things brightening up but turning colder yet again. at the moment, though, thanks to atlantic air being fed up from the south around this area of high pressure, overnight monday into tuesday, it will be very mild for much of the uk with overnight lows in double figures. to the far northeast, though, we do still have the arctic air sitting across northern scotland. and as we see weather fronts meeting that cold air, through tuesday into wednesday, we could see some pretty significant snowfall across northern scotland. look at the temperatures, though, elsewhere overnight, we are seeing double figures for england, wales and northern ireland. a fosty start across scotland and then snow really from the get—go across the highlands and the grampians, and it will snow here on and off for much of the day. also some snow, though, at lower levels too across the east and scotland, but for some of the highest ground,
6:57 pm
we could be looking it up to 20 cm of snow fall by the time we get into wednesday. further south across scotland, some quite heavy and persistent rain. wetter for the afternoon in northern ireland. england and wales brighter than monday and somewhat warmer as well, could be up to 15 degrees. tuesday into wednesday, this low pressure centre works its way eastwards across the uk. we start to pull in colder air behind it. it won't be a massive plunge on wednesday, but it will start to feel cooler for all. but what we will see on wednesday, some sunshine and showers for the majority. some heavy, thundery rain, some quite strong winds whipping those showers through, gales across the northern half of the uk and still some snow adding to those totals across northern most scotland. you can see the temperatures down by two or three degrees typically on wednesday. it's wednesday into thursday, though, the big plunge of arctic air really sinks in. we pick up northerly winds for the last two days of the week. for thursday, at the moment, the story looks relatively straightforward with this front staying away to the south. a bright day for many, cold, yes, wintry showers for northern
6:58 pm
and eastern scotland and across northern england, potentially temperatures still just about in double figures for the south, but feeling colder in the wind. friday, a bit of a headache for us at the moment. we are watching this closely. will this front bump into the cold air enough to bring some snow fall further south? stay tuned.
