in ahmedebad was practically empty by the time australia lifted the trophy, tens of thousands making for the exits when india's defeat became inevitable. they had been so dominant in the tournament, the hosts winning all 10 of their matches on the way to the final. but they were simply outplayed i don't know what happened, it was just sad. we have been unbeatable this entire tournament and i am just feeling numb right now. there is no feeling, i want to cry but there are no tears, just numb. very painful. very unexpected and plus it wasn't a tough fight to be honest. it was kind of a one—sided match so it was more painful. i feel the line—up after virat was a little slow and they didn't do well, but up until virat we did really well. let's get up to speed with all the football now. we've had nine matches in euro qualifying on sunday. four groups playing their final round of fixtures, there wasn't too much riding on group

1:51 am
to what we're good at. there is always a chance within that to have a look at a couple of things we would like to see as well. but the biggest thing is making sure we hit the level of performance we have set ourselves. formula 0ne�*s return to las vegas produced one of the season's great races — the lead changing hands seven times, before champion max verstappen took the honours in sunday's grand prix on the famous strip ferrari's charles leclerc started from pole, but there was drama at the first corner as verstappen pushed him wide taking the lead and earning him a five second penalty. two drivers failed to finish, the most dramatic exit was that of britain's lando norris, he was taken to hospital as a precaution. further crashes cost british drivers lewis hamilton and george russell any hope of a podium finish. verstappen�*s time penalty saw him drop to eleventh place after his first pit stop, but he fought back to win

1:53 am
had in my life, no doubt. to crown it with a win against hometown hero jannik who has played an amazing tennis this week is phenomenal. i had to win and not wait for them to hand me the victory and that is what i have done. i think i have tactically played different today than i have in the group stage againstjannik and overall a phenomenal week. britain'sjoe salisbury and the american rajeev ram have retained their doubles title, with a straight—sets victory over granoliers and zeballos, taking their winning streak at the finals to 10 matches. they also won the us open earlier this year, for a third time in a row. denmark's nicolai hojgaard won the season ending world tour championship in dubai. starting the final round two shots off the lead.

lot's more reaction on the bbc sport website and app but from meand the sportsday team, goodbye. hello there. the weekend has been pretty cloudy, but mild — temperatures of 15 degrees in the warmest spots on sunday. we had some rain as well. you can see some of that working across the skies here in gower, near swansea. and a bit more rain to come as well. the same area of low pressure�*s still with us, so damp weather for northern england, southern and central scotland, northern ireland. the rain not particularly heavy here, but some heavier rain pushing across southern wales and southern parts of england over the next few hours. a mild start to the day on monday and we pick up that band of rain working into the southeast quickly monday morning before clearing out of the way. what follows again is quite a lot of cloud. the winds coming in from a northwesterly direction and they'll be bringing some showers into wales
1:56 am
and southwest england with more persistent outbreaks of rain across the northeast of scotland. in between, it does stay quite cloudy, but some breaks in the cloud every now and then. a bit of sunshine, particularly for east anglia, southeast england, and probably brightening up in northern ireland through the afternoon as well. temperatures still on the mild side at 12 or 13. for wednesday, we start to see a ridge of high pressure build in from the north. and with that comes the prospect of some bigger breaks in the cloud, particularly across southern and central scotland, northern ireland, northwest england, northwest wales as well. elsewhere, quite a bit of cloud, the thickest cloud for the far north of scotland, where a weather front will start to move its way back in. 0ur temperatures close to average, though, on tuesday — will be a slightly cooler kind of day. wednesday, we've got some warmer air coming around the top side of our area of high pressure behind this warm front, and with fronts crossing scotland, it's here where we'll have the thickest cloud outbreaks of rain. it's going to be quite windy as well. the heaviest rain for western scotland, the rain probably not amounting to too much across eastern scotland. drier further south for southern eastern wales, the midlands, east anglia, southern
1:57 am
counties of england. that's probably where we'll see the best in the breaks in the cloud in the cloud, the best of the day's sunshine. temperatures around 11—14 degrees, so again, it's mild. now towards the end of the week, we are going to see some more significant changes as a cold front dives southwards and starts to introduce some much colder air. question marks how far south this cold air gets and exactly how cold it will be when it arrives. however, it does look like we'll all see a significant drop in temperatures and it could get cold enough to see some snowfall over the mountains of northern scotland, so one to watch. bye for now.
