31 h. ago Raducanu justifies primetime billing even as Sabalenka’s superpower wins out | Jonathan Liew

Britain’s No 1 was outpointed when her opponent raised her game but showed why she merits the hype and spotlight that surrounds herIt’s a little after 8pm by the time the first ball is tossed. Karen Khachanov has just beaten Nuno Borges on No 3 Court and so even before it has started Emma Raducanu v Aryna Sabalenka is the last game on anywhere at Wimbledon: a standalone attraction, the roof not so much closed as hermetically sealed. We are locked in, under these hot lights, until nightfall.And of course this is not simply a third-round game. At the behest of the broadcasters this is also a primetime television product, an item of light entertainment. Raducanu isn’t just battling the world No 1 here, she’s up against Gardeners’ World on BBC Two. The hill is packed. Brian Cox and Mary Berry in the Royal Box are transfixed. And to think Roland Garros would probably have put this match on in mid-morning. Continue reading...

3 d. ago Daly injury blow takes shine off dominant Lions display against Queensland Reds

Queensland Reds 12-52 British & Irish LionsElliot Daly forced off after taking a painful blowFor the second successive game in Australia there is bittersweet news for the British & Irish Lions. Another eight tries and a half-century of points was a decent return against initially spirited opponents but, once again, they look set to lose a potentially significant player to injury with the best-of-three Test series kicking off at this same venue in just over a fortnight.For now there is no official confirmation but Elliot Daly’s tour is set to be cruelly curtailed following the nasty forearm injury he sustained in the second half. He was taken to hospital for X-rays on a suspected fracture which will almost certainly require the Lions to summon another replacement, having already lost scrum-half Tomos Williams to a torn hamstring.
