hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes. here's what's coming up: draper dazzles in new york — reaching the quarter finals of a grand slam for the first time in his career. it's day five of the paralympics. we look at some of the day's big winners and losers. and the legend that is christiano ronaldo says he's not hanging up his international boots just yet. so lots for you tonight

and we're starting at the us open tennis where britain's jack draper has scorched into the quarter—finals of a grand slam for the first time in his career. draper hasn't dropped a set all tournament and he kept up that record in his victory over tomas machac in new york. adam cottier reports. after the retirement of andy murray, here comes jack draper. on top of his game after a superb fourth round win in new york. he looked sharp from the start against machac and in a blink of an eye he powered through the first two sets in the type of form that suggests he has the potential to go even further. the 22—year—old left—hander won his first career title injune and with box office stars novak djokovic and carlos alcatraz already out of the open, his ruthless edge could serve him well. he took his place in the final eight

afterjust one hour and 42 minutes. he went four games without dropping a set now at flushing meadows and is the first british man to reach the quarter—finals in new york since andy murray. eight years ago. adam cottier, bbc news. it was a good match to come through. i am it was a good match to come through. iam proud it was a good match to come through. i am proud to be in the quarter—finals. i lost in the quarter—finals. i lost in the round of 16 last year so it is amazing to come through. i thought it was a good match from my side. i did what i needed to do and i competed well. my level was solid throughout. so i am happy with the work i did. i caught up with the bbc�*s tennis correspondent russel fuller after the match to get his reaction. it feels like the right time for him. he won his first atp title in stuttgart injune, he became the british number one and lost to cameron nori at wimbledon and the olympics did

not go to plan but since he has arrived in the us and it was a quarter—finalist in the cincinnati and is now into a grand slam for the first time. you follow so many talented and promising young british tennis players. how good do you think jack draper can be? he players. how good do you think jack draper can be?— jack draper can be? he was alwa s jack draper can be? he was always the _ jack draper can be? he was always the player _ jack draper can be? he was always the player who - jack draper can be? he was always the player who had l always the player who had potential to be in the top ten at a grand slam champion. you can say that about many players who do not make it. growth spurts relatively late on made a difference to him and turned him into a 6'4" a difference to him and turned him into a 64" player. a left—hander, a left server is always a little advantage and he now starts to deliver on that promise. what is held him back so far has been physical problems, not quite as fit as he needed to be and his body breaking down at times. but the last year has been a tale of consistency. he has remained fit. before winning the title in stuttgart he reached finals

and sophie are at the end of last year and adelaide at the start of this. building blocks being put in place and now we see the result on the biggest stage of all. fix, see the result on the biggest stage of all-— stage of all. a quick line on the women's _ stage of all. a quick line on the women's draw - stage of all. a quick line on the women's draw because | stage of all. a quick line on i the women's draw because we stage of all. a quick line on - the women's draw because we saw a shock today. what is your reaction to that?— reaction to that? maybe a little surprising _ reaction to that? maybe a little surprising because l little surprising because karolina may be unseated but was a semifinalist here last year and a runner—up in the french open in 2023. she had a wrist injury which required an operation and kept out for ten months. she only returned in june but she is such a complete player and i am not that surprised that she won today in straight sets. it ends jasmine's glorious summer run. a runner—up at roland ellis and a runner—up at wimbledon but now beaten in the fourth round stage in new york. now it's day five of the paralympics in paris and it started with a flurry

of triathlon medals — a day later than planned after a drop in the water quality for the swimming in the seine forced a postponement. but it was better late than never for home favourite jules ribstein who took gold in the pts2 class in front of a huge crowd on the grand palais — one of two golds for the french triathletes today. china have had another fantastic day on the badminton courts in paris, with three more gold medals to take their total tally in the sport to eight golds. so far, the most any other nation has in badminton at these games is one. but british sprint star jonny peacock missed out on winning a third 100m title in a row. the briton was fifth in the t64 final. gold went to costa rica's sherman guity who set a new paralympic record with a time of 10.65 seconds. and the first openly trans athlete at a paralympics, the a00m runner valentina petrillo, failed in her attempt

to qualify for the women's t12 final in paris. the 51—year—old italian, who identifies as a woman but competed as a man until the age of 45 was well beaten in the semi—finals. well, these paralympics are already being hailed as a huge success and one of the most successful para athletes of all time, dame sarah storey, hopes the legacy in paris will go way beyond just the sport. i think the part of the legacy thatis i think the part of the legacy that is really challenging is the legacy for society. the legacy for accessibility, for disabled people and how they can access their very best performance in the other parts of life where they exist so whether that is a job or in society, accessing buildings, public transport. . now cristiano ronaldo has more caps and goals than anybody else in men's international football history, but the portugal legend says he has no plans to stop playing for his country.

the 39—year—old will be hoping to add two more appearances to his total of 212 games in the forthcoming nations league matches against croatia and scotland. he came in for criticism afterfailing to score during the summer's euros, but he still feels he has a role to play. translation: when i will feel like i am not _ translation: when i will feel like i am not adding _ translation: when i will feel like i am not adding any - translation: when i will feel like i am not adding any more. translation: when i will feel like i am not adding any more i will be the first to leave. that is life and i will go with a clear conscience is always because i know what i am, i know what i can do, i know what i do and what i will continue to do it it. meanwhile, having finished in a tie for ninth over the weekend in golf�*s fedex open, rory mcilroy says he is aiming to cut back on his tournament schedule. the world number three will have played 27 events by the end of the year and ideally says he'd it has been a long season and i

have to think about trying to build a few extra breaks in here and there. next year and going forward because i felt like i hit a wall after the us open and i still feel a little bit of that hangover. the subject of concussion in rugby union is a hot topic. for several years now, a growing number of former players have been trying to get help and compensation — claiming the sport has left them suffering from long—term brain diseases. rachel stonehouse reports. jason hobson and neil clark of former rugby union team—mates. they began their rugby career together in 1999 played for exeter and bristol, among other clubs. jason went on to play for his country but both also received some nasty hits. i got knocked out. _ received some nasty hits. i got knocked out, i _ received some nasty hits. i got knocked out, i look _ received some nasty hits. i got knocked out, i look up - received some nasty hits. i got knocked out, i look up and - received some nasty hits. i got knocked out, i look up and i i received some nasty hits. i grrt knocked out, i look up and i do not know where i am for 20 minutes. you tend to just get up minutes. you tend to just get up and get on with it. minutes. you tend to 'ust get up and get on with it._ up and get on with it. many professional _ up and get on with it. many professional athletes - up and get on with it. many i professional athletes struggle emotionally when they retire.

sports website but that is it from me and the team. hello there. like it or not, september is the month where we transition from summer into autumn, and we're seeing that. on the 1st of september we had a southerly flow hot, humid air in the south, 30 degrees the high, but over the last couple of days we are likely to see a northwesterly flow take over and that's going to introduce fresher air right across the country. by by the middle part of this week temperatures will revert back to where they should be, generally from 16 to 21 celsius. monday broader day of heavy rain across scotland in particular and that eases away but still a trail of showers will linger for quite some time during tuesday. so we will start off across the midlands with one or two isolated showers. these could become

more frequent as they drift east. every thundery across eastern england. dry, settled and sunny and after a lot of time for scotland it will cloud over was showery outbreaks into the west. 14— 18 degrees is the hope that we could see 23 in east anglia. as we move through tuesday evening into the early hours of wednesday morning the showers across england and wales will tend to fade. we will have a cluster of showers pushing and across northern ireland and we could have a cool night in scotland with low single fingers likely in rural areas. so particularly fresh start here first thing on wednesday morning. is trying to build in but we have a weak weather front toppling across the high and that could bring a little bit of a nuisance. a band of cloud and a few scattered showers east of the pennines running down towards the south—east. not much rain on it, a little bit showery

rain into southern scotland and northern ireland but on the whole wednesday will be a day of sunny spells, scattered showers ranging from 14— 21 celsius. as we move out of wednesday towards the end of the week it gets a little messy. we have an area of low pressure, a front drifting down into france and that could merge with another spell of wet weather pushing up from the near continent. all in all that could lead to an unsettled weekend across central and southern england but for scotland it looks drier and brighter as high—pressure linkers longer. —— lingers longer.
