where the men's world number two daniil medvedev is out — beaten by brazilian qualifier thiago syboth wild over five sets. medvedev was fresh from winning his first clay—court title in rome, but his opponent — ranked 172nd in the world — pounced on the russian�*s inconsistency to book a first grand slam second—round spot. medvedev said he was glad the clay court season was over after the match. for sure i'm really disappointed. i'm going to be one week thinking about this match, but for the moment i don't see anything wrong. idid. i mean, double faults. i mean, the wind was crazy today, so it was not easy. i think i made most of them. i mean, it doesn't matter even which side. it was tough, tough to play. so, yeah, i don't see anything i could really do better. and that's good. that's when you can bounce back faster in the next tournaments. no such problems for defending champion iga swiatek.
12:47 am
after a slow start, the world number one gave herself an early birthday gift a day before turning 22 by cruising past spain's cristina bucsa, 6—4, 6—0. yeah. i feel pressured. i would be lying if i said i don't, but i'm trying to kind of work with it and just play my game no matter, you know, all the circumstances and the expectations from the outside, its not easy. but basically i think it's like the most important thing in tennis right now to cope with that properly. and i already know how to do that. so, so i have like all hopes that i'm going to continue doing that. to rugby union, and it's been a turbulent 2a hours for english premiership side london irish, risking suspension from the league. they were granted an extra week's grace by the rugby football union to allow an american consortium to complete the takeover of the club. however, in the latest twist, it's emerged that london irish�*s ownership has offered to pay only 50% of salaries, which are due on wednesday.
12:48 am
the players found out this latest development at an emergency squad meeting on tuesday evening. it means the rfu will now have to decide whether they will grant an extension based on this, given one of the conditions for the extension was for the payroll to be met. france prop mohamed haouas has been sentenced to one year in jail for domestic abuse. he was arrested on friday for hitting his wife when he saw her smoking — after telling him she had stopped. the incident is likely to end any hopes haouas had of being picked for september's world cup in france. the french rugby federation called his behaviour "inadmissible and incompatible with representing our country at international level". triple olympic champion adam peaty says more gold medals won't solve the mental health problems he's triple olympic champion adam peaty says more gold medals won't solve the mental health problems he's been suffering. the swimmer, who hopes to add to his historic medal haul in paris next year, pulled out of the british championships last month, saying he was tired and had been in a self—destructive spiral. he's been explaining more
12:49 am
to our correspondent graham satchell. there he is. the commonwealth games last summer. peaty hadn't lost a race for more than seven years. what can peaty do here? behind the scenes of pressure being on top year after year was starting to take its toll. i was on this endless search for a gold medal or world record i looked to the future and said ok, if i do get that is my life fixture any better? no. just living with the person on your shoulders says you aren't good enough because if you have the conversation and no, i am, this is why then you start to have a healthy relationship with yourself instead of a self—destructive spiral. in a series of posts on social media adam has been searingly honest with his struggles with mental health, alcohol a lot of athletes
12:50 am
to struggle with alcohol. and for me i was in a place where i wasn't really happy with how i was controlling my life, it was something that i was constantly chasing and constantly doing i don't really want this in my life, i don't want to do this all the time for them but you have to seek help and your out how the brain works, especially if you're quite different, such as an athlete because were too different from everyone else in the sense of how we operate and how we see the world. adam has recently been diagnosed with adhd. he's been getting treatment which he says is helped. and he's taking a break from competing. there's been a lot of tears, a lot to sweat, a little bit of blood. but the tears are like, i should not be crying for something i love. once you address the issue — do you need a break? yes. have a break that we will come back i'm not hiding from the lows, from outside of the brain which is hyperactive.
12:51 am
tokyo, the last olympic games with adam is now back in training for year and paris. ijust owe it to myself to come from the low and teach people that between the lowest in the low you can find a way out of it. the olympics for me is a climb up, it's the battle that we've lost, but we'll win the war. on thursday, the english cricketing summer will feel like it's really arrived with the first test match of the year. the four—day game against ireland is at lord's. it serves as the team's only warm up for the upcoming ashes series. worcestershire seamer josh tongue will make his test debut in an england side that will also include jonny bairstow. as expected, james anderson will be rested for the match, along with ollie robinson. both are expected to be fit for the ashes, which starts in just over two weeks�* time. bairstow, meanwhile, is back for the first time since breaking his leg.

he'll bat at seven and take the wicketkeeping gloves. it's been a remarkable post—season from the miami heat. they're heading to the nba finals to take on the nuggets, having crushed the boston celtics�* dream of a historic comeback in game 7. miami securing their spot despite being the lowest seeded team to reach the nba finals since the new york knicks in 1999. the season alone had some of the most injured roster as well as ill played garage server forth in the league for a long time because of those. then they lose that first playing game, then they win and then they knock out the big bad team of the east that everyone thought it would be in the finals and here they are today and they have the most undrafted player on a roster going into the finals, it is a sin original story that no one thought they would be here and they fought there so much adversity. i think more than any other team in the east to now book their tickets to the nba finals.

12:54 am
again it is the best european thing, the best american, period. and whatever is going on, who is playing and who is not should not matter it is whoever is best suited to represent the european side. and i have a hard time to believe that the best player in europe has ever had, successful player europe is had in the cup does not fit to be in the team. some news ahead of that monumental manchester derby in the fa cup final at wembley on saturday — united forward anthony martial will miss the match after tests revealed the 27—year—old had suffered a muscle tear sustained in sunday�*s 2—1 win against fulham at old trafford. in an injury—hit campaign, martial scored six goals and made two assists in 21 premier league matches this season. victory for united on saturday would secure a domestic double for the club, having won the league cup in february. a win would also deny their city rivals�* bid to match the treble won by sir alex ferguson�*s united in 1999, with premier league champions city also playing in next month�*s champions league final.

and another day, another tirade at tottenham forjose mourinho, as he used his latest press conference to criticise chairman daniel levy. mourinho�*s roma team have another chance of european silverware at the europa league final against seville in hungary on wednesday. a few days ago, the portugese manager was critical of levy for giving him the sack as spurs head coach before the league cup final. and on the eve of another final, he couldn�*t help himself with having another pop. in roma, they didn�*t sack me before the final in tottenham, they sent me before the final at wembley. roma gave me the chance to to to win the final at tirana and at tottenham. .. ihad no... i had no chance. and that�*s all your sport for now. from me, marc edwards, and the rest of the team,
12:56 am
bye—bye for now. hello there. 25.1 celsius was the high — porthmadog in north—west wales on tuesday, making it the warmest day of the year so far across the country. and for the rest of the week it does stay mainly dry thanks to high pressure, with always the warmest in the sunny side of the weather towards western parts of the uk, always a bit cooler and cloudier further east. now this is the blocking area of high pressure which will continue to bring this mainly dry weather, but if you cast your eyes down towards southern europe, it�*s a different story. here we�*ve got daytime showers and thunderstorms breaking out for the rest of the week. so rainfall totals will continue to mount here. could even see some localised flooding in places but further north, thanks that area of high pressure, it�*s going to stay almost bone dry, but we could see some drizzle at times across eastern england under the thickest of the cloud as we start early wednesday.
12:57 am
and under that cloud blanket, which will spread across much of england and wales. temperatures won�*t fall much below 7 to 10 degrees, but chilly under the clear skies in the north—west and a little bit of mist and fog, but it�*s here where you�*ll see the sunshine from the word go for wednesday morning. the clouds tending to thin and break and burn back to the coast could linger across parts of the midlands, eastern england once again. and it�*ll be chilly along north sea coast and the northern isles down to the south—east, mid—teens there, but up to the mid 20s, central belt of scotland, low 20s for northern ireland and parts of wales. wednesday night the low cloud rolls back into eastern scotland, much of central, southern eastern england and also parts of wales. and again, those temperatures ranging from around 6 to 9 degrees, but a few chillier spots under the clear skies in the north—west. we do it all again for thursday. best of the sunshine again across northern and western areas, eastern scotland, eastern england will see that cloud burn back to the coast. but again, with the onshore breeze, which will be quite fresh across the east, in the south east, it�*ll feel cooler here as opposed
12:58 am
to western areas which will see temperatures again into the low 20 celsius. similar picture on friday, most of the cloud across northern and eastern areas. again, more of a breeze in across the south—east. that�*ll temper the temperatures somewhat so. i think temperatures are a little bit lower across the board. we�*re in the low 20s out west and the sunshine as opposed to the mid 20s, but into the weekend it stays largely fine, dry, plenty of sunshine again. best of the sunshine out west, always a bit cloudier and cooler along north sea coasts.
