against the spanish football federation president, luis rubiales. we'll be live in madrid shortly. the defending champion has been on court on day one at the us open, but not for very long — iga swiatek has eased and we'll see how things are shaping up both sides of the channel, with exactly one year to go until the paralympic games. thanks forjoining us. we'll start with the story that continues to dominate football and another day of major developments involving the president of the spanish football federation, luis rubiales. it follows allegations of an unwanted kiss on playerjenni hermoso

following spain's world cup triumph a fortnight ago. he says it was consensual. she says it was not. rubiales has resisted calls to resign. on monday, we've seen three key developments. meetings have been held with two separate organisations to discuss his conduct and future. spanish news agency efe have reported his mother is staging a sit in hunger strike at a church. and spanish prosectors have now opened a preliminary investigation into rubiales�* conduct. we can cross to madrid and join our correspondent guy hedgecoe. what more can you tell us? the latest development was that announcement that the prosecutor will investigate mr rubiales for that kiss to see if there is evidence of a case they can be brought against him in a court of

law for sexual assault. now this is just preliminary, but it is potentially significant for mr rubiales, and he's facing so much pressure on so many different fronts at the moment. there's also that spanish sports tribunal meeting today which the government has requested. now that's not a criminal investigation which the court could open, but what the government wanted to do is open proceedings against mr rubiales so he could then be removed from his office. also of course, the federation meeting today with the leaders of the federation around the country meeting today in madrid — they have been trying to decide a strategy out of all of this without mr ruby aulas there, of course, because he's been suspended by fifa.

—— mr ruby aulas. so there seems to be a lot more pressure on mr rubiales. what has been the reaction in spain to the developments today and over the weekend 7 you'll make in the public sphere here, everyone seems to be criticising mr rubiales, you don't hear too many people defending him, whether it's politicians or in the football world. more and more people seem to be coming out and criticising him, saying he should step down. but this has gone beyond the football world, even beyond the political world. the football world, even beyond the politicalworld. i'm in the football world, even beyond the political world. i'm in a square in central madrid where in a few minutes, we are expecting quite a large demonstration against mr ruby aulas to take place, and that reflects the strength of feeling on a social level notjust amongst women, there are many men who seem to be angry about this, as well. i was a there's the issue of social consent, which so many people are furious about, but also the fact that this has become rather

embarrassing for spain, many feel, and it's really tarnishing what should've been a glorious celebration for the national women's team. , , . , celebration for the national women's team. _ . , . thanks, guy. well, the spanish labour minister yolanda diaz has met with futpro representatives, the players�* union that representsjenni hermoso. amanda guttierez is futpro's president. translation: this isn't a structural -roblem, translation: this isn't a structural problem. this _ translation: this isn't a structural problem. this is _ translation: this isn't a structural problem, this is a _ translation: this isn't a structural problem, this is a problem - translation: this isn't a structural problem, this is a problem of- translation: this isn't a structural problem, this is a problem of the . problem, this is a problem of the organisational system of the national football in spain. and we have said that in a meeting we've just held. and briefly, we want to put the focus on that — that this is something the female players are suffering every day of their careers. they have to face this type of discrimination and many others. well, england's lionesses last week released a statement supporting hermoso. earlier, i wasjoined by england midfielder georgia stanway. we reflected on their run to the world cup final, but i also asked for her reaction

to situation involving spain and its president. it's hard, i think — it's actually sad to win a world cup, to achieve what you've achieved. people have an unbelievable tournament, and to be overlooked by something people would call a mistake. it's hard, and that's what we put out a mistake to make a statement as the lionesses to show our support and love, and say that whatever happens, we love you, and it's about building and being powerful as a collective, because situations like this, we don't want it to happen again. is situations like this, we don't want it to happen again.— it to happen again. is that the collective _ it to happen again. is that the collective side _ it to happen again. is that the collective side of— it to happen again. is that the collective side of the - it to happen again. is that the | collective side of the women's it to happen again. is that the - collective side of the women's game, a positive thinking come out of this, do you think?— this, do you think? definitely, we are so united _ this, do you think? definitely, we are so united and _ this, do you think? definitely, we are so united and we _ this, do you think? definitely, we are so united and we want - this, do you think? definitely, we are so united and we want spain | are so united and we want spain to be to enjoy their moment — although they beat us, they were the better team, especially for 45 minutes of the game, so we want them to enjoy

themselves because that's what they deserve. to get to the world cup final and win it, for everyone to be supportive, there were 20 million people watching on tv — buffer to be overlooked by something that should never have happened, we want a resolution so they can have their time. , ., resolution so they can have their time. , . ., , resolution so they can have their time. , . .,, u, , time. tell us what the last couple weeks have _ time. tell us what the last couple weeks have been _ time. tell us what the last couple weeks have been like _ time. tell us what the last couple weeks have been like since - time. tell us what the last couple weeks have been like since you . time. tell us what the last couple i weeks have been like since you got back? it’s weeks have been like since you got back? �* , , . ., , ~ back? it's been crazy. i think when ou're back? it's been crazy. i think when you're over — back? it's been crazy. i think when you're over there, _ back? it's been crazy. i think when you're over there, you're - back? it's been crazy. i think when you're over there, you're in - back? it's been crazy. i think when you're over there, you're in your. you're over there, you're in your own bubble and you don't really realise — of course to see a little bit, but you don't want to involve yourself too much, get too excited or nervous. but coming back, you see the real impact we've been having on everyone. i can't walk down the street in my local town without being spotted, which is surreal. but yeah, as you can imagine, it's been a week of mixed emotions, good days, bad days... if a week of mixed emotions, good days, bad da s... ., ., bad days... if we look at that moment _ bad days... if we look at that moment where _ bad days... if we look at that moment where you - bad days... if we look at that moment where you were - bad days... if we look at that i moment where you were picking bad days... if we look at that _ moment where you were picking up the silver medal, what was the emotions like and what are the emotions like now, looking back at that? i

to the scotland squad. he could make his senior debut in the european qualifiers against england and cyprus. nottingham forest have lodged an official complaint against referee stuart atwell and his team of officials. forest lost 3—2 to manchester united on saturday in the premier league, having a player sent off and conceding a penalty. wolves midfielder matheus nunes has stopped training without permission in an effort to secure a move to manchester city. city had a bid for the player turned down last week. wolves are believed to want over £60 milliion for him. to new york — where the final tennis grand slam of the season is under way at flushing meadows. day one of the us open has already seen the olympic champion belinda bencic ease through to round two. and the world number one and defending champion iga swiatek has progressed comfortably, too. she beat the swede rebecca peterson in straight sets, dropping just one game in a win that took just 59 minutes.

just over two hours of play but we've already had an early shock. the eighth seed maria sakkari is out — beaten in straight sets by spain's rebeka masarova. it's her third straight first round exit at a grand slam. britain's lily miyazaki gets under way against in the men's draw, the seeds are not safe either. 25th seed alexander bublik has lost in three sets to 2020 champion dominic thiem. the austrian is unseeded after being dogged by a wrist injury. later on tonight, the three—time champion novak djokovic begins his quest to win a record extending 24th men's grand slam title. he plays the frenchman alexandre muller first, having missed last year's tournament due to his covid vaccination status. i see this every grand slam that i play right now is really a golden opportunity to make more history. so, of course, there is a big significance to that. i mean, iwouldn�*t say, you know,

it adds a bit more to the fact that i have not played here for two years. the feeling is pretty much the same. there is always expectation, excitement and ambition to win the title. it's pretty much the same this year. and commentary live from flushing meadows is available right now on 5 sports extra, bbc sport website and bbc sounds app. just outside of georgia, victor celebrated winning the fedex cup for the first time with chipotle chips and quach. other mexican fast food outlets are available, probably. the norwegian struck a fine final of 63 to win by five shots. he birdied his final three whole suit, third win of
