Jack Draper, Declan Rice and Chris Eubank Jr all had reason to celebrate in another exhilarating weekend of sport. We’ve looked back at the highlights…
Britain’s Jack Draper reached the last 16 of a Grand Slam for the first time at the US Open but Dan Evans lost a thriller to top seed Carlos Alcaraz.
Draper, 21, continued to brush off a pre-tournament injury with a 6-4 6-2 3-6 6-3 win over American Michael Mmoh.
Evans, 33, went toe-to-toe with defending champion Alcaraz before going down 6-2 6-3 4-6 6-3 in New York.
British number ones Cameron Norrie and Katie Boulter lost later on Saturday to leave only Draper left in the singles.
Earlier in the summer, the LTA has announced a partnership with Pledgeball, a charity that engages sports enthusiasts on environmental sustainability.
Arsenal scored twice in stoppage time to secure a dramatic victory 3-1 over Manchester United at Emirates Stadium.
A crazy minute in the first half saw Marcus Rashford score to earn the away side, before Martin Odegaard quickly responded to pull the Gunners level.
United first thought they had snatched three points when Alejandro Garnacho scored in the 88th-minute, but the goal was ruled out by VAR for offside.
Then, in the eight minutes of stoppage time, Declan Rice’s deflected shot gave Arsenal the lead before substitute Gabriel Jesus raced clear to wrap up the win as the stadium exploded in elation.
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen broke a Formula 1 record with his 10th consecutive win as he overcame Ferrari’s valiant challenge at the Italian Grand Prix.
The Dutchman was held back by pole-winner Carlos Sainz’s Ferrari for 14 laps but his pressure paid off.
Sainz ended up in third after Verstappen’s Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez secured second place.
Chris Eubank Jr beat Liam Smith by TKO in round 10 of their middleweight rematch after knocking him down twice.
Eubank dropped Smith in the fourth round, the same round in which the Liverpudlian beat him in their first fight back in January.
Last week, professional boxing promotion Boxxer announced a partnership with England Boxing.
England were outplayed by a resurgent New Zealand who won the third T20 international by 74 runs at Edgbaston.
After opener Finn Allen struck 83 in New Zealand’s 202-5, England ended up all out with 128 runs.
The result means the four-match series heads to the finale on Tuesday at Trent Bridge with the outcome to be decided.
Coco Gauff underlined her credentials as one of the US Open title favourites with a gutsy victory over Caroline Wozniacki to reach the quarter-finals.
The 19-year-old American had to come from a break down in the third set to win 6-3 3-6 6-1.
Sixth seed Gauff is bidding for a first Grand Slam title.
