in the fourth round — a player ranked 60 places below him — and it showed. alcaraz winning in straight sets injust under two hours. i played the solid and fewer mistakes and i played my game. so i am very happy with the performance in general. world number eight andrey rublev is also through — beating the last remaining british singles player in the draw, jack draper, in four sets. in the women's draw, there was a scare for wimbledon champion marketa vondrousova — she needed to come from a set down to beat 21—year—old american peyton stearns to reach the quarter finals. meanwhile the woman vondrousova beat in that wimbledon final is out. ons jabeur losing to the 23rd seed qinwen zheng in straight sets. it's the furthest zheng has ever gone in a grand slam.

and jessica pegula left the court in tears — after she was beaten in straight sets by fellow american madison keys. pegula had been one of the favourites to win the tournament. i played a really good match against a great tennis player and being able to do that after having a solid level so farfor the entire tournament ijust, you know, i think i have plenty of good tennis left in me. now to golf — where we now know europe's full team — as they aim to win back golf�*s ryder cup — which begins later this month. before monday, rory mcilroy, jon rahm, viktor hovland, tyrrell hatton, matt fitzpatrick and bob macintyre were the automatic qualifiers for the team, through the european and world points lists. that meant six other players could be selected by captain luke donald — and he's now revealed his wildcard picks. the most eyecatching

is this one. ludvig aberg, the 23—year—old from sweden who only turned professional injune and who won yesterday's european masters in switzerland, has now become the first ryder cup player in history who's never played at a major. tommy fleetwood, sepp straka, justin rose, shane lowry and nicolai hojgaard complete the i2—man team to face the united states in rome from the 29th of september. understandably it was aberg that was the biggest talking point for the captain at today's press conference. i needed to see him perform over these last two weeks. it was not a guarantee before that and his commitment to come over, finishing 50 at the check and his commitment to come over, finishing 5th at czech and what he did yesterday and throughout the whole week including these last fourjust solidified my mind, really. it was all to play for these last couple of weeks, it really

was not decided firmly in my mind. well, donald also named the experienced justin rose amongst his wildcards — and when asked about aberg, rose said he's been impressed by the swede�*s sudden rise. he tends to have a couple of weapons that are not at everyone�*s disposal necessarily. his name started to be thrown around regarding the ryder cup but he seemed incredibly, well, premature in a way, i suppose. reputation is one thing but you need to have some type of profile, statistically, that will give you a chance to play golf that will suit a certain type of player. and his profile suits better than most. the last three ryder cups have been won by the team with the home advantage — which means team usa are the current holders. but this year's competition is in rome — the first time it's been held in italy.

so does that mean it's advantage team europe? earlier, my colleague chetan pathak spoke with our golf correspondent iain carter to look ahead to this year's tournament. certain golfers and certain athletes have annexed for that means they are able to seize the moment and that is exactly what he did yesterday. four birdies in the last five holes to land his first professional title on the eve of the announcement of the ryder cup team and the wildcard peaks. he knew he had to do it, he played well in the czech republic the week before and he played with luke donald in detroit earlier in the summer and really impressed him with low scoring there. so every time he has needed to impress he has done it. this is off the back of a stellar amateur career and he is seen as a generational talent. team us are the defending chance but not won on european soilfor 30 years. is this one of the best chances? i think so.

they are coming in off the back of winning by a record margin at whistling straits and they have taken the european model, they are much more about camaraderie rather than going down the rankings list in terms of assembling their team. zachjohnson says they are the underdogs. i asked luke donald today if they are favourites and they said they are underdogs. nobody wants the tag of favourites but they are two well—balanced teams, teams that both have inform rookies. to football, and spain's men's national team have expressed solidarity with the women's side after what they called unacceptable behaviour by fa chief luis rubiales. several players including alvaro morata and cesar azpilicueta issued a statement on behalf of the entire team, in which they said the world cup—winning success of the women's team had been tarnished. rubiales has faced widespread criticism for kissing player jenni hermoso on the lips after spain's victory over england in the final and has

repeatedly refused to resign. we are four days out until the start of the rugby union world cup, with teams now arriving in france ahead of the first pool match between the hosts and new zealand on friday. on the opening weekend, there are seven matches with plenty of big nations in action — ben croucher looks ahead. bienvenue to the rugby world cup. there is many a method to greet teams in france. some involve applause for the team. others get a pep talk from the president himself or if you are australia... you get this in ste etienne. well, the wallabies seem to enjoy it. invariably all have flags waving, ceremonial caps with tassels and the singalong as well. welcome to france 2023.

excitement levels have gone through the roof. it feels like we're here now in the rugby world cup has arrived. it has been months of talk and talk and we are glad and excited to be here and start. i don't think there has ever been a rugby world cup, an event in rugby that is eagerly anticipated with the excitement building notjust here in france but around the world. if you are english, may be less so. their buildup been dogged by defeats, ill discipline and few expect a repeat of their run to the final four years ago. we've through a turbulent time, a situation with injuries and now i sense that has made us stronger, there is a renewed determination and i certainly get the feeling from players who feel they have been written off too early. argentina and japan will provide england's toughest test in the group

but what about chile? at the first world cup, los condores have never played in front of 40,000 never played with a top tier nation but are eager to show the world their swagger. translation: it is very emotional with this - arrival and welcome from the town with all the chilean flags. it makes you feel proud and full of emotion. we are living a dream. it is the best moment of rugby in the history of chile. as for the favourites, ireland, south africa? france and new zealand should go far. they meet in the tournament opener on friday. as the home nation, the pressure is massive. we heard through our boys a little bit the last couple days and we will use that as energy and we all have a few dings so it should be a great contest in what is a special stadium. if they both have dings it is not long until seconds out. round one. ben croucher, bbc news. now — on sunday, formula i was all about

max verstappen — after he set a new record, winning 10 grand prixs in a row. on monday mercedes team principal toto wolff says the record is �*completely irrelevent�*. verstappen�*s victory at monza means he surpassed his red bull predecessor sebastian vettel�*s run of nine straight victories in 2013 but wolff said: "these kinds of records are completely irrelevant. they were irrelevant in our good days at mercedes. i don't know how many races we won in a row. i didn't even know there was a count." you can get all the latest sports news from the bbc sport website but from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. the weather story so far this week has been dominated by sunshine and heat. and i suspect as we go

through the week ahead, it's all going to be about numbers. 30 degrees was recorded on monday across parts of england and wales. highest temperatures of the summer �*23 was back injune with 32.2 celsius, but there is a possibility as we go through the week with heat and humidity building, that we could see 32 degrees, maybe even higher. which would be ironic because september is the start of meteorological autumn. for tuesday, though on the whole will start off with a little bit of low cloud, mist and fog across eastern england and maybe shrouding the far north of scotland, but that will quickly burn away. a lot of sunshine coming through, generally light winds. and once again, it is going to feel warm, if not hot in many places with temperatures peaking once again at around 29 or 30 degrees. now, as we move out of tuesday into the early hours of wednesday morning, we'll see yet again more low cloud, mist and fog developing. a little bit more extensive, perhaps coming in across eastern england. but it will be a mild

at night, temperatures widely into the mid—teens. so as we move into wednesday, we're still under this influence of high pressure with lows sitting out across iberia. and that's driving in this southerly breeze, so it will turn increasingly more humid as we go through wednesday and thursday. and it's wednesday and thursday that we may well see those temperatures peaking. so to start off on wednesday, yes, perhaps a murky start, but it won't be long before that sunshine breaks through and we will see those temperatures continuing to climb with that light southerly wind direction. so highs possible of 31, maybe a degree or so higher as well. we will keep a very close eye on that as we go through the day on wednesday. into thursday, there's a risk of a few thundery downpours breaking out with that increasing humidity, they should be fairly isolated. but if you catch one, you may well know about them and they're likely to be up through the north—west. top temperatures generally of around 21, again into the low 30s across central and southern parts of england and wales. the dry, settled conditions continue into the weekend with the risk potentially of some rain, perhaps from monday onwards. take care.
