champion, iga swiatek, has set up a mouth—watering quarterfinal clash against american, coco gauff. the world number one was up against lesia tsurenko, but the ukrainian retired injured afterjust 31 minutes. swiatek was leading 5—1 in the first set when tsurenko called for the doctor after experiencing dizziness and shortness of breath before deciding not to continue. despite some windy conditions, coco gauff reached the quarterfinals with a 7—5, 6—2 win over anna karolina schmiedlova of slovakia. last year, gauff reached her first grand slam singles final in paris and was easily beaten by swiatek. today was honestly a difficult match, as every match is, but the wind was something that i wasn't very prepared for going into. one side was gusting
12:47 am
really crazy. i like to play in the wind, but i wasn't prepared, but i'm happy with how i played. i know how it is play against cow — i know how it is play against cow i_ i know how it is play against coco. i think, i know how it is play against coco. ithink, as i know how it is play against coco. i think, as i said, doing my first — coco. i think, as i said, doing my first or— coco. i think, as i said, doing my first or second conference was _ my first or second conference was the — my first or second conference was the difficult between players seven or eight times... welt, _ players seven or eight times... well, i— players seven or eight times... well, i think players seven or eight times... well, ithink if players seven or eight times... well, i think if there's a chance _ well, i think if there's a chance we can make something practically, because we already know _ practically, because we already know our— practically, because we already know our game so well, because its advantages and disadvantages in terms of the preparation for the match. but honestly, _ preparation for the match. but honestly, yeah, that's what i can take _ honestly, yeah, that's what i can take from previous masters. in the men's draw, alexander zverev punched his ticket into the quarterfinals with a straight sets win over bulgarian 28th seed grigor dimitrov. the german into the last eight for a fifth time in six years. and sixth seed holger rune won a five—set epic with francisco cerundolo. the 20—year—old dane overcame

dizziness, 73 unforced errors, and also benefited from an errant umpire�*s call to win in just over four hours. he'll face casper ruud in the quarterfinals — a repeat of last year, where ruud progressed. tottenham have been linked to several names over the past few weeks, but it looks like the club finally have their man. ange postocoglou has agreed terms with spurs, on a two—year deal. he completed a domestic treble in scotland at the weekend — and takes the job despite pleas from celtic fans to stay. ben croucher has more. scottish football, history rewritten! for two seasons, he's been celtics�* savior. now ange postocoglou is poised for the premier league. no sooner then sealing a tribal, tottenham and have come calling as recently as saturday, he wouldn't be drawn on his future.
12:49 am
we work too hard for that. if i start talking about things that aren't really important right now to me, i'm just enjoying this. and i will enjoy for as long as i can before people indeed, fans had little knowledge about the man who spend the previous three seasons after managing australia. poultry pedigree perhaps. those who worked with them and came up against him were full of praise. brendan rogers described him as outstanding and his record as celtic speaks for itself. wrestling control back from rangers with back—to—back scottish titles in some style. i believe he's got into celtic and change the philosophy of the way they play. they're good to watch, energetic and they are starting to control that lee again, which is what he's done. so to spurs.

the club in disarray who, in the last few months got through three managers, failed to qualify for europe and have a fan base feeling sorry for themselves and feeling anger towards the board. why would you want this job? i think it's good time to take it. | you can be taking over. managing at man united and try to follow him. this is a good time. they're struggling _ this is a good time. they're struggling seven _ this is a good time. they're struggling seven the - this is a good time. they're struggling seven the only. this is a good time. they're l struggling seven the only way for me — struggling seven the only way for me is— struggling seven the only way for me is after— struggling seven the only way for me is after tottenham, i struggling seven the only way. for me is after tottenham, and i think— for me is after tottenham, and i think he — for me is after tottenham, and i think he could _ for me is after tottenham, and i think he could do _ for me is after tottenham, and i think he could do the - for me is after tottenham, and i think he could do the job. - but was he tottenham's first choice to do a? rumours swirled, linked and probably unlinked. they need a manager who play football, play attacking football and play football in the right way. hopefully, it looks like postocoglou will do that. i don't think he's going to be particularly... i don't think he'll keep a lot of spurs fans happy. there's an overwhelming feeling that they are feeling underwhelmed. i think that could be an issue for the club. it's one of many.
12:51 am
they don't have a sporting director and doubts linger about the future of their most prized assets the new manager will need time and money, but it's been five years, and tottenham started and finished the season with the same manager. is celtic's saviour, the right man to save spurs? ben croucher, bbc news. fans at a match in argentina appeared to start celebrating with fireworks in the crowd before the final whistle had even been blown. independiente rivadavia supporters were highly coordinated with the pyrotechnics. the home side were beating deportivo maipu 2—1 in the argentinian second tier. but the players continued to play, despite the huge amounts of smoke and distractions. the result meant rivadavia overtook maipu to take top spot in the zona b division of the primera b nacional league. jim hines, who was the first

man to run the hundred metres in under ten seconds, has died at the age of 76. the american first broke the record at the us championships in 1968. he did it again while winning gold at that summer's olympics, and held the record until 1983. that's the longest time an athlete has held the record for the men's hundred metres. he also won relay gold at the mexico games. when he finished sprinting, he moved to playing in the nfl with miami dolphins and the kansas city chiefs. moeen ali is considering an approach from england to come out of test retirement to play in the ashes as a replacement for the injured jack leach. bbc sport understands that moeen was called by captain ben stokes after fellow spinner leach was ruled out. moeen played 64 tests before retiring prior to the last ashes series in australia in 2021. if he decides to accept england's call, he would join the squad for the first test at edgbaston on the 16th ofjune.
12:53 am
australia are already in the uk to play india in the world test championship at the oval. their opening batter david warner has been having his say on england's new brand of attacking cricket, and whether it will work against the aussies. i like the commitment. they keep talking about, they keep acting on it, they keep doing it. so i think the only test comes when you probably get bowled out for 200, but you have those days as well when you're playing like that. so it is good to see, if you lose the first two tests and you don't bat well, do they change are not? i think that's the only question, but from our point of view, we don't do anything different. three—time olympian hannah miley is backing a campaign to help more coaches learn and understand how periods affect athletes in sport. the swimmer, who's won european titles and commonwealth golds for scotland, said there was a real lack of awareness around menstruation when she was younger.

12:56 am
bit more cloud in the east, and that created some cooler air that then flowed across the uk, hence the lower temperatures that we had — for example, london going from 23 on sunday to 18 for a high on monday. the highest temperatures out west, 2a celsius, warm in the sunshine. we'll see some changes in the weather picture, though, over the next few days, and it's all down to storm oscar that's bringing torrential rain to madeira. some strong gusts of wind there, as well. oscar itself doesn't actually make it to the uk — it stays to the southwest — but it will be transporting some much warmer air our way. humidity levels rising, as will the temperatures through the weekend, mid—to—high 20s. but it won't be dry everywhere, there will be some fairly hefty thundery showers around, as well, to watch out for — something that gardeners might want, actually, given how dry the weather's been over the last few weeks. now, at the moment, we're seeing cloud come back in off the north sea, affecting central and eastern scotland, central and eastern england, eastern parts of wales, too. and so, for these areas, we start the day tuesday
12:57 am
with a lot of cloud that cool breeze with us, notable again first thing in the morning. out west, sunshine from the word go once again. now, where you start cloudy, that cloud will probably get burned back towards those north sea coasts by the time we get to the afternoon, so most areas will brighten up, but there could be some areas in the east. there the cloud loiters, the onshore winds continue to blow, it'll feel quite cool, 1a—15 celsius — and that is a feature of the weather we've seen so far this month. for example, in holbeach in lincolnshire, the average forjune�*s 19 celsius — we'll be nowhere near that so far this month, on account of often cloudy weather we've seen, and often those chilly northeasterly winds. and another feature of the weather we've got at the moment is some of you will see quite high levels of pollen — and it's grass pollen we have at the moment — so if you're allergic to that, you might find it being a bit sneezy on tuesday. wednesday, probably less in the way of cloud around. what little cloud there is could loiter across some english eastern coasts, but otherwise more sunshine,
12:58 am
and so probably temperatures a little bit higher, 2a, maybe 25 out west. and over the next few days, more of the same — it's really into the weekend that we see those temperatures rise, along with the humidity, and we'll probably start to see showers and thunderstorms break out, as well.
