which heat and humidity provided for a grueling battle between lifelong friends daniel medvedev and andrey rublev in the men's quarterfinal. for the meeting the pair had talked about a friendship dating back to when rublev was just six years old but all of that aside and everything centred around the conditions, medvedev particularly vocal about the brutality of it all. i particularly vocal about the brutality of it all.— brutality of it all. i cannot imagine- _ brutality of it all. i cannot imagine. one _ brutality of it all. i cannot imagine. one player- brutality of it all. i cannot imagine. one player willl brutality of it all. i cannot i imagine. one player will die and then they will see. nevertheless the 2020 us open winner who took the match 64, six 33/4 of the major. second seed aryna sabalenka is into the semi—finals for the third successive year with a dominant win over china's zheng qinwen. the australian open champion has reached the last four of all four majors in 2023,

becoming the first woman since serena williams in 2016 to achieve the feat. in contrast her 20—year—old opponent was appearing in herfirst grand slam quarter—final after knocking out last year's runner—up ons jabeur in the previous round. but she was unable to lay a glove on sabalenka who took the opener 6—1. the number 23 seed made more of a fight of the second set but sabalenka showed her big stage experience to take the second 6—4. when you get to the last stages of the tournament and you think about what i want and what i would like and what you are dreaming. i am not trying to block this path because when you try to block something it is going to keep getting in your head and it will get really annoying and when you are not trained to block it, it will actually go away. the 30—man shortlist for the 2023 ballon d'or has been announced no surprises. argentina legend lionel messi is the overwhelming favourite to extend his record to eight ballons d'or after guiding his country to world cup glory. but it might be worth a flutter on norwegian striker erling haaland.

the manchester city star scored 52 goals in 53 matches in city's treble winning season. worth mentioning a notable omission — five—time winner cristiano ronaldo, who plays for al—nassr in saudi arabia, isn't nominated for the first time since 2003. on the womens side spain and barcelona midfielder aitana bonmati is nominated. could she add to her trophies this season having beem named uefa women's player of the year and winning the world cup of course with her country? bonmati's compatriot alexia putellas, who won the award in each of the last two years, misses out after only recently returned from a long—term injury. england quartet millie bright, rachel daly, mary earps and georgia stanway are also among the nominees. all four players helped the lionesses reach the 2023 women's world cup final.

spanish footballer, jenni hermoso, has filed a legal complaint over the kiss by the president of spains football federation, luis rubiales. hermoso was kissed on the lips by rubiales after spain's 1—0 win over england at the world cup final in sydney — and has since said it was not consensual. rubiales denies that and has refused to resign, despite being provisionally suspended by football's world governing body fifa. the complaint means he could face criminal charges. an investigation into the helicopter crash five years ago at leicester city's stadium has found there was nothing the pilot could have done to stop it happening. five people were killed in the crash outside the king power stadium, including the club's billionare owner. the aviation accidents investigation bureau blames catastrophic mechanical failure and rules out pilot error. phil mackie has more.

helicopter crashed. where players and staff did their best to pull people out of the wreckage. a year later it was opened as a memorial garden so as a permanent reminder for the club and its supporters of what happened. the aa ib has made a number of recommendations because of what it called weaknesses in safety regulations. in a statement his son said, my father trusted that he had bought a safe helicopter from a world—renowned manufacturer. had he known what we know now, he would never have risked his life in this machine. along with those of the pilot and his copilot his family are now considering legal action. manchester united say they are taking allegations made against winger antony "seriously", after he was accused of abusing his former girlfriend. on monday, a brazilian news outlet published allegations made by antony�*s former partner, allegations which the player denies. police in both sao paulo and greater manchester are investigating. the 23—year—old was withdrawn from the brazil squad after the allegations emerged. today, united said the club... .acknowledges

the allegations made against antony, and notes that the police are conducting enquiries. pending further information, the club will be making no further comments. as a club we are taking this matter seriously, with consideration of the impact of these allegations and subsequent reporting will have on survivors of abuse." cricket, and sri lanka have cruised to victory over england's women in the final t20 international in derby in the east midlands with the series finishing 2—1 to the visitors. a record breaking day — it's sri lanka's first series win over england and it's the first home t20 series that england have lost to anyone but australia since 2010. it was a pretty poor performance all around from the hosts. dani wyatt out first ball of the match which set the tone for a sub par total of 116 all out. sri lanka in response set the platform through their star all rounder chamari athapaththu with a knock of 44, with the visitors taking the win with 3 overs to spare. sometimes it's big pressure for me, but now my team is really good so if you youngsters came

to the side, the energy is very high. in the senior bowlers pulled really good, that's really good for our team. as a captain i'm really happy about my people and part of my girls. it's always disappointing to lose series. we had such an incredible ashes and i don't think that takes away from what a good team we are. a couple of losses don't make you a bad team and we are still learning and working towards that bangladesh world cup next year. so we still have 12 months of really planning and prepping and hopefully we will see more polished performances by the time we get to there. to golf, and rory mciroy says he's optimitic about europe's chances of winning back the ryder cup when they take on the united states in rome later this month. mcilroy�*s not concerned about the absence of liv golf players in the team, insisting new players like swedish youngster ludvig aberg add considerable

strength to luke donalds's team. from people that have watched him play in the states, he turned pro injune. people who saw him play over there, a few of us were saying it was a no—brainer, but people hadn't seen him play over here, and then he comes and finishes fourth in czech and then wins in switzerland. i think people here that were maybe a little bit sceptical of it all realised what the hype was all about, and he's an unbelievable player. probably one of my favourite swings in the world. the new nfl season gets underway on thursday as the defending champions kansas city chiefs begin their title defence against detroit. two—time super bowl winning quarterback patrick mahones says that the chiefs will have to be on their game from the get go. got a lot of young guys playing last year. you can see throughout the season how they got better and better.

they added talent. sutton from the steelers, johnson, i played a great couple of times, a great football player, so they've added talent of young guys and veterans and they play hard and got better even last year, so we know it's going to be a heck of a football game and if we don't play our best football were not going to go out there and win. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. temperatures have been creeping up day—by—day and on thursday, we saw the warmest day of the year so far in wisley in surrey. 32.6 celsius, rounding up to 33 degrees. now, most places ended thursday on a dry, warm and muggy note, but some pretty ferocious thunderstorms, northern ireland through scotland

have been raging. they will continue to clear the way northwards of the early part of friday and then we'll start to see some low cloud, mist and fog rolling in off the north sea, affecting eastern scotland and north—east england. a very warm and muggy nights come for all areas, particularly across the south. so we start off with this grey, misty, foggy weather across eastern scotland through the firth of forth and across north—east england. it will gradually burn back to the north sea coast as we move through the morning. so sunshine will make an appearance here fairly quickly, but for most it's another dry, sunny and hot and humid day. a bit of high cloud building across england and wales later on. then we could start to see some thundery showers pushing into the south—west of england as we push into the evening. mid to high 20 celsius, up to 29 degrees or so for north—east scotland, low 30s for south—east england, another hot day to come. through friday night, we could see these showers, thunderstorms becoming a bit more extensive across central and northern areas, but of mist and murk around some coasts. otherwise, for most,

it's another dry and a warm, muggy night. so into saturday then, we start off with plenty of sunshine around it'll feel very humid at this point. start to see more wind, cloud, breeze picking up for north—west of scotland with this weather front. ahead of it will start to see some showers and thunderstorms breaking out. certainly across scotland, northern ireland, maybe northern parts of england and wales. very hot on saturday, we could be up to 33 celsius again in the south—east. temperatures will be coming down, though, in the north—west. for sunday we start to see some changes — the air starts to destabilise from the atlantic as these weather fronts encroach in. so although much of england wales will have another hot and sunny day, there is the threat of showers and thunderstorms becoming more widespread in the north and the west. temperatures will be coming down across scotland and northern ireland closer to the seasonal norm, but still another hot day for england and wales with 30 celsius or so in the south—east. the heat lasts for monday across south—eastern areas,

but then all areas will be cooler with sunshine and showers for the rest of the week.
