Here's your daily update with the most important sports news, stories and developments from the past 24 hours.
Zheng Qinwen produced one of the most extraordinary comebacks in recent US Open history, recovering from 5-0 down in the deciding set to stun 22nd seed Madison Keys 1-6, 7-6(3), 7-5. The 2024 Olympic champion reeled off seven consecutive games and saved a match point en route to the fourth round. Keys racked up 23 unforced errors as her commanding lead evaporated. Zheng will face either Iga Swiatek or Marie Bouzkova next.
Iga Swiatek battled past 25th seed Marie Bouzkova 7-6(3), 7-6(3) in a gruelling contest lasting two hours and 27 minutes. It marked the first time in Swiatek's career that she won two tiebreaks in the same match. The Pole saved three set points in the second set and has now won 13 of her last 14 matches. She faces Zheng Qinwen in the fourth round.
Naomi Osaka fought past Elise Mertens 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 despite committing 41 unforced errors. "I'm literally shocked that I won this match," Osaka admitted. A medical timeout for a left calf and ankle issue during the decider appeared to reset her focus, as she returned to break Mertens' serve and close out the contest.
American teenager Iva Jovic ground out a three-set victory over Alexandra Eala, winning 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 in a match lasting over three hours. Jovic now faces former US Open champion Coco Gauff in the fourth round, guaranteeing at least one American woman in the quarter-finals.
Anastasia Potapova dispatched 10th seed Amanda Anisimova 6-2, 7-5 in the US Open third round. Anisimova committed 18 forehand errors in a result that extends a difficult stretch for the former Wimbledon finalist, who has struggled since a coaching change earlier this year.
Serena and Venus Williams were eliminated in the first round of the US Open doubles, losing to Maya Joint and Chan Hao-ching in a match decided by a final-set tiebreak. Both players then declined to attend the post-match press conference - a decision that drew criticism from pundits including Tim Henman and journalist James Gray, who questioned whether the sisters should receive future wildcard invitations.
Mali claimed only their second ever Women's Basketball World Cup victory with a stunning defeat of Spain. Trailing at half-time, Mali exploded with a 31-19 third quarter. Sika Kone led the charge with 19 points and 10 rebounds, while Djeneba N'Diaye also contributed 19 points. Iyana Martin top-scored for Spain with 20 points in a losing effort.
Katie Taylor laces up the gloves for the final time today as she defends her undisputed super lightweight titles against Flora Pili in front of an estimated 80,000 fans at Dublin's Croke Park. The card gets underway at 7:00 pm BST, streaming live on DAZN.
Swedish defender Emma Kullberg has joined FC Internazionale Milano on a deal running until June 2027. The 34-year-old arrives with a trophy-laden CV, having won the Serie A title, Coppa Italia, Supercoppa Italiana, and Serie A Women's Cup during a prolific two-year spell at Juventus.
Vittsjö GIK hammered bottom-of-the-table IK Uppsala 5-0 in the Swedish Damallsvenskan, climbing to fifth in the standings. Sofie Rewucha, Amanda Altheden, and Daniela Galic all found the net in a comprehensive victory.
Hamburger SV and RB Leipzig drew 1-1 in matchday three of the Frauen-Bundesliga. Delice Boboy opened the scoring for Leipzig before Camilla Linberg equalised from the penalty spot for the hosts.
