two of the french open and the defending women's champion iga swiatek was up against coco gauff. the ukrainian retired injured afterjust 31 minutes. the doctor was called after she experienced dizziness and shortness of breath before deciding that she couldn't continue. despite some windy conditions coco gauff reached the quarter—finals with a 7—5, 6—2 win over her opponent from slovakia. last year gauff reached her first singles final in paris, beaten by swiatek. today was a difficult match, as every match is but the wind was something that i wasn't really that prepared for going in. one side was gusting really crazy and usually, i'd like to play in the wind to be
2:47 am
honest but it wasn't some thing i was prepared for but overall i'm happy with how i played. i know how it feels to play against coco but on the other hand playing so many matches against each other, i think during my first or second conference, was a difference between playing against players who played seven or eight times and the new ones, well, i think there is a chance we can make something tactically, you know, because we already know our game so well, so it has its advantages and disadvantages. in terms of the preparation before the match but honestly, that is what i can take from previous matches. in the men's draw alexander zverev punched his ticket into the quarter—finals with a straight sets win over bulgarian 28th seed. the german into the last eight for a fifth time in six years. and sixth seeds won a five set

epic, 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 so he will face casper ruud in the quarter—finals. football now and tottenham have been linked to several names over the past few weeks but it looks like the club finally have their man. ange postecoglou has agreed terms with spurs on a two year deal, he completed a domestic treble in scotland and takes the job despite clues from celtic plans to stay. scottish football history rewritten! for two seasons he's been celtic�*s saviour. now ange postecoglou is poised for the premier league. no sooner than sealing a travel with celtic, tottenham are coming calling, as recently as saturday, though, he wouldn't be drawn on his future. we work too hard, if i again

start talking about things that aren't really important to me and those people around me, mate, i'm just enjoying this and they will enjoy it for as long as i can before people drag me away to talk about other things. he arrived at celtic park with little fanfare, fans had little knowledge about a man who spent the previous three seasons in japan's j league after managing australia. but those that worked with him and came up against him were full of praise, brendan rogers described him as outstanding and his record speaks for itself, wrestling control back from rangers with back—to—back styles scottish titles with some style. i believe he has gone into celtic and changed the philosophy of how they played, they are good to watch, energetic and they are starting to control that league which is what he has done. so to spurs. and the boos around the tottenham hotspur stadium tell the story. a club in disarray who in

the last three 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. so why would you want this job? i think it is a good time to take it. you don't want to be taking over a job walking in at man united and trying to follow him. this is a good time, they are 7 for 8, whatever they finished this year, the only way is up for tottenham, i think he could do the job. but was he tottenham's first choice to do it? rumours swirled around other potentials. we need a manager who will play football, play attacking football and hopefully it looks like that ange will do that but i don't think he is going to be particularly... i don't think he is going to keep a lot of spurs fans happy. i think there is an overwhelming feeling of spurs fans that his feeling underwhelmed

and that could be a bit an issue for the club. it's one of many. they don't have a sporting director and doubts linger about the future of their most prized asset. the new manager will need time and money but it's been five years since tottenham started and finished the season with the same manager so is he the right man to save spurs? fans at a match in argentina appeared to start celebrating with fireworks in the crowd before the final whistle had even been blown. the supporters were highly co—ordinated with the pyrotechnics in the final moments of the match. the home side were winning 2—1 in the argentinian second, where the players continued to play despite the huge amounts of smoke and distractions. full—time eventually did arrive with the result meaning that the opponents overtook them to take top spot. 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 100 metres. he also won relay gold at the mexico games, he then moved to playing in the nfl with the 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. bbc sport understands that he was called by captain ben stokes after fellow spinner was ruled out. he played 64 tests before retiring prior to the last ashes series in australia in 2001. and if he decides to accept the call he would join

the squad for the first test on the 16th ofjune. australia are already in the uk to play india in the world test championship at the oval which starts on wednesday. 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 their commitment, they keep talking about it, 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 are going to have those days as well, when you are playing like that so it will be good to see, if you lose the first two tests and you don't bat well betting that way, do they change, do they not? i think that is the only question but from our point of view we won't be doing anything different, that's for sure. hannah miley is backing a campaign to help more coaches learn and understand how periods affect athletes in sport. she said there was a real lack of awareness around
2:54 am
menstruation when she was younger. she wants to end the stigma. i had a bit of a rough time with it when i was a junior athlete and it was really difficult to talk about and the bit that stands out for me was with my dad being my coach, he would go around trying to ask other female coaches for help because he could see i was really struggling but there wasn't really much information or help for him as a coach and also as an athlete, it was becoming a bit of a hindrance, so at the time the advice was to go on the pill and tojust stop having your period and i ended up with the career of that i had and i felt that i did very well off the back of it but the information that i know now, i do feel that could may have career have been better? i will never know. had i had the information to look after my body a little bit better so we actually realise that instead of working against with my body,
2:55 am
just by stopping it and going on the pill i actually could have worked with it and actually had a much better time with it but there was such misinformation, very little research compared to now. with regards to the menstruation side of things, it hampered me quite a bit when i was younger and then it didn't become a problem so there were certain areas they definitely could have looked after my body better — the injuries, the illness is that i had could have been prevented had i head this information earlier. former olympic swimmer hannah miley there. you can stay up—to—date on all the latest sport news on our website and also using the bbc sport app but from me and the team at the bbc sport centre, we will see you soon, goodbye.

hello, there. ourfine, dry run of weather continued on monday. plenty of sunshine out west, 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, 24 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
2:57 am
england, eastern parts of wales, too. and so, for these areas, we start the day tuesday 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, 14—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,
2:58 am
but otherwise more sunshine, and so probably temperatures a little bit higher, 24, 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.
