and federerfrom missing two of those big three, nadal and federer from the outset, obviously djokovicpened the door for this next generation of players. dominic thiem and zverev were already knocking at the door, thiem being well number three, and you just wonder whether this is the changing of the tide and i think names we will continue to see continually as those big three begin to make their moves towards retirement. and dominic thiem, remind me where he is from? he is from austria and his the second only austrian to have won a grand slam titles are no doubt big celebrations there and it was lovely to hear them both speak at the end, they are so fond of each other and so friendly, really beautiful match and world—class tennis on display for us tonight. thank you very much indeed. day with us on bbc news, still to come call on we follow the south korea virus detect lives, trying to prevent the spread of covid—i9. george w bush: freedom itself was attacked this morning, and freedom will be defended. the united states will hunt down and punish those responsible. bishop tutu now become

quality for supply think it was a case opposed of them thinking novak djokovic is out, no federal, no nadal, this is our big opportunity. how would dana medvedev play? they had been playing against each other sincejunior play? they had been playing against each other since junior competitions in russia. medvedev was the better pa rt in russia. medvedev was the better part of the time but he because we get in trouble which i suppose is a big advantage for both players when you're as young as that. he will start as the favourite being the runner—up from last year. start as the favourite being the runner-up from last year. and dominic is the highest ranked left in the draw. as the number two seed left in, he must be feeling the pressure. i think he is feeling the pressure. i think he is feeling the pressure but in some ways he looks like he is ready to win a grand slam who is ready to play the 21—year—old austrian who perform well at the us open and australian open as well and is very short career. —— twice a runner to rafael nadal he looks like he is prepared to put all that extra pressure as

nadal will play italy's stefano travaglia next.wicketkeeper batsman has only played one of the last 12 tests, so it wasn't unexpected. but he remains on the limited overs list of retained players. ollie pope, zak crawley, and dom sibley have been given test deals. five players have been given contracts for both red and white ball cricket. here's the england managing director on bairstow‘s omission. it's a knock for him, i'm sure. johnny has played one test match in the year. we only have so many contracts that we award. it's a tough call to make becausejohnny has been a very good servant for the team, but he remains a really important part of what we do. he is a white ball contracted player, he is one of our most dangerous players in that form, and that hasn't changed. now, spare a thought for west indies bowler sha kera selman. her side had england in trouble in the final t20 match in derby — a game reduced to just five overs a side. england needed three runs off three balls, with three wickets remaining when selman bowled a no ba

well, ahead of the tournament, defending champion rafa nadal said he expects things to really toughens. nadal has won the men's singles 12 times since his debut in 2005, but the clay—court event usually takes place in early summer when higher temperatures suit his game. conditions here probably are the most difficult conditions for me ever. for so many different facts. the ball, completely different, the ball is super slow and heavy. very cold, slow conditions, of course the preparation has been been less than unusual, but you know what? i am here to fight. we will get him some gloves. mercedes have dominated second practice ahead of this weekend's russian grand prix where lewis hamilton could equal michael schumacher‘s record of 91 wins. he's got team mate valtteri bottas standing in his way though. the firm was more than a quarter of a second quicker than hamilton around the sochi autodrome. bottas was also fastest in first practice. off the track its been announced former ferrari team boss stefano domeni—cali will become president and ceo of formula 1 in january. well, lewis hamilt

and the man who's lost the past two finals at roland garros to nadal, dominic thiem, is also into then straight sets. in the women's draw, sixth seed serena williams has taken the first step in her quest for that record—equalling 24th grand slam title williams, who celebrated her 39th birthday on saturday. she overcame a rusty start to beat fellow american kristie ahn in straight sets. she'll play bulgaria's tsvetana pironkova in the second round. and amyjones helped england to another dominant win over the west indies in the fourth t20, as they won by 44 runs to go 4—0 up. jones made 55 from 37 balls, coupled with heather knight's 42 in what was england's most impressive performance with the bat so far, 19 fours and five sixes. it'll take something special from the west indies to avoid being whitewashed when the final match takes place on wednesday in derby. and that's all the sport for now. hello. the day ahead looks set to be fine and sunny for many of us. there will be some exceptions around. for example, we have seen a weather front trundling its way south—eastwards through the n

and 2 behind roger federer as record of 20 and obviously rafa nadal isn't there he decided not to go to the u.s. open because of his worries about coronavirus in the states and roger federer is injured so the field is wide open for joke of it to win it and it's just such a strange mix it is a strange sort of it's a kind of bizarre situation and it didn't seem a freak accident one could call it how. the top tennis world reacting to that as i mean yes it was unintentional we can we can look at a tweet now from novak djokovic saying sorry he was upset by the whole thing i mean he actually said the whole situation has left me really sad and empty i checked on the lines person and the tournament told me thank god she is feeling ok i'm extremely sorry to have caused such stress now as for the tennis world they're pretty universal that he had to be kicked out yes he didn't mean to do it but he recklessly shot the ball behind him and that can obviously cause injury it's not like he's serving or something and then the ball suddenly hit someone that something happened some time in tennis peopl

out of the tournament so so strange i mean he was the red hot favorite for the title because rafa nadal is indeed new york because of the coronavirus who didn't want to travel roger federer is also injured he was looking for his 18th grand slam title which would put him behind the 2 behind federer's record of 20 and instead he goes out in almost unprecedented style given how shocking it is what's been the reaction well he has said sorry we have to say that and it was only intentional we can look at a tweet he actually posted saying story where he said this whole situation has left me really sad an empty i. i checked on the lines person and the tournament told me thank god she was feeling ok i am extremely sorry to have caused such stress but the world of tennis sort of said no it was right he should have been chucked out of the tournament because it was reckless it was a ball travelling at speed it's not like john mcenroe in the old days we used to smash his racket on the floor you know it was it was a lack of mr really. but it's been a very strange year for doc of which i'm generally n

slam open, but we didn't get the big names we normally get, we didn't have djokovic or federer or nadalused to win all the grand slams. that's exactly right, it's a strange year, coronavirus, there's not been a crowd, everything has looked different but we were missing two of those big three, nadal and federer from the outset, obviously, djokovic making that shock exit early on and it really opened the door for this next generation of players. now, thiem and zverev were already knocking at the door, thiem being world number three, zverev, world number seven, but this reallyjust opens up that new era and you just wonder whether this is the changing of the tide and certainly i think names we'll continue to see as those big three start to make their moves towards retirement. and dominic thiem, remind me where he's from? he's from austria and he's the second only austrian to have won a grand slam title, so no doubt big celebrations there, and it was lovely to hear them both speak at the end, they're so fond of each other and so friendly. so, a really beautiful match and world—class tennis.

nadal will play italy's stefano travaglia next.f the last 12 tests, so it wasn't unexpected, so he remains on the limited overs lists for retained players. they've been given test deals, five players have been given contracts, both red and white ball cricket. here is the england managing director's admission. it's a not for him, i'm sure. johnny's played one test match in a year. we only have so many contracts that we award, and it's a tough call to make, because johnny has award, and it's a tough call to make, becausejohnny has been a very good serverfor make, becausejohnny has been a very good server for the two, but he remains a very important part of what we do. he's one of our contracted players on one of our most dangerous players in that form, and that hasn't changed. spare a thought for shakira solomon, her site had england in trouble in the final t20 match in derby, again, reads to just five overs aside. england needed three runs off three balls with three wickets remaining when she bowled a no ball. the equation then beca

and the fact that you are missing six of the top ten on the women's side and rafael nadal and roger federert was the tv ratings in the us were not very good at all. in some ways it was fascinating to see how the players reacted to that. there was very little feedback from the other teams there and they had some vans working at the tournament, otherwise no spectators at all. it had to be in syria. that was fascinating to watch. hopefully we won't have two watch it again, that was fascinating. —— it had to be interior. and with the finals, was the excitement any less ? finals, was the excitement any less? no, but i'm not surprised to see dominik team gets to the final. iam not to see dominik team gets to the final. i am not surprised to see him win with novak djokovic eliminated was that he has been playing so well in the last yea rs. playing so well in the last years. he must meet novak djokovic in the australian open final earlier this year. it's no surprise to see him in the final. 0k, christopher clarey, thank you very much for talking to us. my pleasure. stay with us on bbc news, still t
