hello there, and welcome to sportsday. i'm will perry, here's what's coming up: a final farewell to a footballing great: thousands line the streets for the funeral of manchester united and england legend, sir bobby charlton. carlos alcaraz is beaten on his atp finals debut, as alexander zverev fights back to win in turin. and, we hearfrom england's managing director rob key, as their dismal defence of the cricket world cup comes to an end.

welcome along to sportsday. we'll start in manchester, where thousands lined the streets to bid a final farewell to one of england's greatest—ever footballers, sir bobby charlton. the funeral of the 1966 world cup winner and manchester united legend took place at manchester cathedral. the bbc�*s sports editor dan roan has more. applause a final farewell for, arguably, english football's greatest—ever figure. here at the stadium where he is immortalised, thousands paying tribute to sir bobby charlton earlier as his funeral cortege passed old trafford, home of the club where he made more than 750 appearances. members of united's youth teams forming a guard of honour as the hearse drove past, the ground adorned with images depicting a glittering career. he's a gentleman and a legend. do you know what i mean? he had time for everybody. now, we've been to different countries, and they said,

"manchester — bobby charlton." everybody knew him. at manchester cathedral, meanwhile, a thousand guests, including the fa president, prince william, legendary former united manager sir alex ferguson and a host of other footballing stars past and present arriving for a private memorial service. one of sir bobby's former team—mates paid this tribute... never thought in my dreams as a kid that i'd come through and play for manchester united, but playing with bobby charlton, something special, isn't it? ..with many more gathering at the end of the funeral procession to show just how much he meant to them. charlton's coffin, accompanied by his family, was carried into the cathedral for a service celebrating a remarkable life. a survivor of the 1958 munich air disaster, over the next decade, charlton reached the very top of the game. world cup winner with england in 1966, european cup winner with united two years later, renowned not only for his goal—scoring and skill

but also his decency and class. very sombre occasion, obviously. the speakers did fantastic. bobby charlton was a wonderful, humble man. and i'm at manchester united because of bobby charlton, without doubt. with today's service, followed by a private wake at old trafford, the world of football was left to reflect on the loss of a truly legendary figure, but one that will never be forgotten. dan roan, bbc news. alexander zverev often saves his best tennis for the atp finals. he's been the men's singles champion twice in this event, now he's made the perfect start to this campaign by beating world number two, carlos alcaraz. zverev is the world number 7 and hasn't won a grand slam singles event, but he's taken the first steps to a third title here. the wimbledon champion alcaraz had taken the first set but zverev responded and came back to win in the final set decider. it's the spaniards third defeat in a row, the first time that's

happened since 2021. i get along with him well and have no issues but obviously, yes, it is always nice to beat the best players in the world. he is definitely one of them. it is special to win on this court again. i think it was a close match. this guy has one of the biggest serves on the tour and he had a few breakpoints that i couldn't take and i think that was the key of the match. staying in the red group, and 2020 champion daniil medvedev beat fellow russian andrey rublev. but rublev here on the bottom of the screen totally lost his way in the second set. his serve was broken after he slipped here on this point, and he wasn't letting it go easily.

rublev won just one more game after that, medvedev coming through in the end, 6—4, 6—2. novak djokovic received this trophy on monday after securing the year—end number—one ranking for a record—extending eighth time. djokovic needed only one match win at the atp finals to be sure of keeping the top spot and the 24—time grand slam champion secured it in his opener, beating holger rune in a contest spanning more than three hours on sunday and into monday morning. and he was very keen to thank all his team for their achievements, too. obviously the crown of the season, finishing the year as number one in the world, i think, is the dream of every tennis player. it is one of the most difficult things to do in our sport. winning grand slams and being number one in the world are probably the pinnacles of the sport. it has been a very long year for all the players and to be able to stand here is a blessing and i want to thank my team

who is here, my coaching staff, everybody, physiotherapist, fitness coast, —— coach everyone who has been on this road with me. it is a team effort even though i'm standing here by myself on the court. i can't wait to be celebrating with them. this is a tremendous, tremendous success and achievement and i am very proud of it, obviously. emma raducanu has pulled out of an exhibition match in macau next month as she continues her rehabilitation from hand and foot operations. the 2021 us open champion hasn't played since april, but is still hoping to return to the tour injanuary. the men's cricket world cup semi finals take place on wednesday and thursday this week, but we've known for sometime that england won't be involved. they won their last two games, but lost six out of nine matches played in total in what has been a feeble defence of the trophy

they won back in 2019. so what's gone wrong with england and the 50—over game? we've been speaking to managing director, rob key. you want a mark out of ten, we would be right down the bottom to be honest. for the side we are, for the players we've got, the quality we've got, we have underperformed massively. for lots of different reasons, i think. we have over—thought things and gone away from our style when it has really mattered. it is all well and good talking about how you will play a certain way — on the front foot and play aggressively — but when it really matters you have got to do it. you've got to soak up the right time. we're almost on the opposite when it's needed. i think in both departments in bat and ball we have been below par. i would be surprised if anyone on our side feels they've account of themselves — maximising potential and playing ability. whether you win or lose

this one thing, you can't always guarantee success, but what you have got to try do is try to play to the best of your ability and we have been a long way off that. who is responsible? whenever it has been a question for me about what we're going to focus on here, 50—over, t20, test cricket, i have always chosen test cricket. right away from the end of the world t20 last year, when it was a choice over test cricket in pakistan, who got the best players — i'm always the one who says test cricket gets that focus. the same thing in south africa when there was a test series going on in new zealand, i have always chosen test cricket. i hold myself at the top of that list. it is not easy for coaches and captains, when you have not got the ability to plan and have your best team — it is not their fault. ifeel like it is harsh if i turn around and blame the captain and coach when i myself hold myself accountable.

matthew mott, we have talked about responsibility. are you ruthless with him? does he have yourfull support? he does. coaching is pretty simple. you are judged by results but also by the way that your players guide and play and they have not done that at all. matthew mott would be the first one to say that. as i said, ifind it a position to be in where i am blaming matthew mott for this, when many conversations i have had to say to him, right, matthew, sorry you are not going to have the best team, joe root or ben stokes, because the test team is going to get that. the first time it goes wrong i'm not going to sit here and go, "actually, you should have done this or that". we will have honest conversations as you doing these things and say, right, what are you going to do to improve this? but as far as i'm concerned, you know, he gets my full backing and an opportunity to try to turn it around. that was rob key there with our bbc cricket correspondent. presidentjoe biden honoured the stanley cup champions vegas golden knights in a ceremony at the white house on monday, marking the return of an nhl tradition. the golden knights are

the first nhl team to visit biden at the white house since the tampa bay lightning in april 2022, when they celebrated their back—to—back titles won during the pandemic in 2020 and �*21. the 2022 champions colorado avalanche were unable to make a visit work last season because of scheduling conflicts. six years ago the idea of a championship team playing on the ice in vegas desert? think about this! who would have thunk of it, as they would say. it seemed like a pipedream but the team ownership had faith, predicting the play—off run and a stanley cup in six. that is all the sport for now. you can get all the latest sports news on the bbc sport app, orfrom our website, that's bbc.com/sport. from me, will perry, and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. see you later.

hello. storm debi swept eastwards on monday, bringing some of us some very strong winds. you can see this hook of cloud and rain. it was on the southern edge of this hook where we saw a swathe of very strong winds across parts of northern ireland, north wales and north—west england. in fact, it looks like blackpool may have seen its strongest wind gust in nearly ten years. there was quite a lot of rain around as well. storm debi now clearing eastwards, but further frontal systems following from the west. it does stay quite unsettled. and one band of heavy, perhaps thundery rain and squally winds clipping close to the south of england and the channel islands as we go through the morning. it could be some quite intense downpours in places with some very gusty winds. that wet and blustery weather then tending to clear eastwards through the morning. further north, a band of cloud and rain across parts of northern england, up into scotland. that making some northward progress through the day. although the far north of mainland scotland

and especially orkney and shetland holding onto some sunshine. and then through the afternoon much of northern ireland, england and wales will see a mix of sunny spells and hefty showers. still quite blustery for some of us, highs of 8 to 1a degrees. during tuesday night we'll see further showers or longer spells of rain. i think the wettest of the weather will be found across some central parts of scotland. temperature—wise, generally between 5 and 8 degrees. so we'll start wednesday morning with cloud and some outbreaks of rain across parts of northern ireland, north wales, northern england, southern and central parts of scotland. and some of that rain will continue through the day. but elsewhere, actually quite a lot of dry weather and some spells of sunshine, not too many showers. the winds easing just a touch and temperatures again between 8 and 13, maybe 1a degrees. now, thursday's weather chart is quite a complex one, one weather system trying to approach from the southwest, another one a little bit further north. there's some uncertainty

about which of these will win out and end up on top of the uk for thursday. but either way, we're expecting some outbreaks of rain to push eastwards. it may be that we have some quite strong and blustery winds. temperatures again generally between 8 and 13 degrees. and an early look at the weekend weather, it does look quite unsettled. there'll be showers or longer spells of rain. low pressure firmly in charge, it could be quite windy as well.
