Gareth Southgate coy over Jack Grealish’s Euro 2024 place for England

2 juin 2024 à 23:30
  • Manager still to decide midfield options before Serbia opener
  • Southgate said Luke Shaw has ‘good chance’ of being fit for finals

Gareth Southgate has refused to give Jack Grealish assurances over his Euro 2024 place and has cast doubt over Harry Maguire being fit for ­England’s opening game.

Southgate, who was more optimis­tic about Luke Shaw’s chances of recovering from injury for the tournament, is putting together his final preparations this week. England’s head coach is due to cut seven players from his 33-man training squad after assessing his side when they meet Bosnia and Herzegovina in a friendly at St James’ Park on Monday night and Iceland at Wembley on Friday.

French Open’s ‘prime-time’ slot is the graveyard shift no player wants | Tumaini Carayol

Novak Djokovic’s 3.07am finish on Sunday morning showed yet again tennis needs to do more to look after players and fans

As another messy, rainy day at Roland Garros began to unfold on Saturday afternoon, it gradually became clear that things were taking a left turn. With certain third-round matches to be finished, the French Open organisers opted to move the uncompleted contest between Zizou Bergs and Grigor Dimitrov to Court Philippe-Chatrier before Novak Djokovic’s night session match, which was scheduled to begin at 8.15pm. Unless every match finished in straight sets, it was obvious that chaos would follow.

It is fair to say that those matches did not finish efficiently. The match on court, Alexander Zverev v Tallon Griekspoor, immediately descended into a dramatic five-set battle. Then Bergs forced a fourth set. Djokovic and Lorenzo Musetti entered the court at about 10.30pm, with Djokovic closing off his excellent five-set comeback victory at 3.07am, the latest finish in the history of the French Open.

Iga Swiatek’s 6-0, 6-0 demolition job leads march of French Open top seeds

  • World No 1 wins shortest match of career; Coco Gauff advances
  • Carlos Alcaraz and Stefanos Tsitsipas set up quarter-final

After an opening week defined by Iga Swiatek’s grit, as she saved match point and recovered from the brink of defeat against a resurgent Naomi Osaka in her second-round match, the Pole’s bakery reopened with ruthless efficiency on Sunday as the best player in the world demolished ­Anastasia Potapova 6-0, 6-0 to return to the French Open quarter-finals.

Even in matches with such emphatic scorelines, the final result is not always reflective of how competitive some can be. Sometimes the games are tight and competitive but the ­superior player just wins all of the points that matter.

Themes from this season’s Champions League: Germany’s rise to Man City’s stumble

Par : John Brewin
2 juin 2024 à 21:23

Real Madrid lifted the trophy and may dominate for some time to come, while PSG are about to enter an uncertain era

Francisco Gento’s record of six European Cup wins was one of those records that looked unassailable, belonging to the era of football scrapbooks. And yet Dani Carvajal, scorer of Real Madrid’s first goal in the final, and Luka Modrić matched the legendary winger’s total with Madrid’s 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. Toni Kroos, in his final club game, having won five with Real to add to his Champions League title in 2013 with Bayern Munich, joined them.

2 juin 2024 à 20:11
  • Reekie continues fine season for Britain’s 800m runners
  • Fellow Scot Muir kicks to convincing 1500m win

Yuka Saso wins 2024 US Women’s Open – as it happened

Par : Scott Murray
3 juin 2024 à 00:57
  • Yuka Saso wins second US Open title at Lancaster Country Club
  • Hinako Shibuno completes Japanese one-two
  • Official leaderboard

An unforced error by the leader Minjee Lee on 3. From the first cut to the left of the fairway, just 50 yards out, she carves her wedge into sand to the right of the green. Then a blast out races hysterically across the dancefloor and nearly ends up in a bunker on the other side. The ball stops in the fringe but she’ll have a testing up-and-down to limit the damage to bogey.

Hinako Shibuno is the latest member of the leading pack to start moving backwards. A careless lip-out from a couple of feet on 3 costs the 25-year-old from Japan a shot. But there’s another player looking to make a late run and get themselves involved; Arpichaya Yubol, a 22-year-old from Thailand making her US Open debut this week, has opened her final round briskly with birdies at 1 and 4, and is homing in on the peloton at level par.

It may be now or never to play with Andy at Wimbledon, says Jamie Murray

  • Jamie waiting for brother to decide if they will play in doubles
  • Next month’s Wimbledon likely to be Andy’s last

Jamie Murray believes it may be a case of “now or never” for him and his brother, Andy, to fulfil their goal of competing together in the men’s doubles at Wimbledon in what could be Andy’s final appearance there.

“It would obviously be really cool to do it,” Jamie said. “It’s something that we probably wanted to do at some point in our career and maybe now is the only opportunity to do it. So maybe it’s a case of now or never, but yeah, we’ll see. [We] need to figure out what’s going to happen first and then go from there.”

The Guardian view on taxing billionaires: we need to talk about the super-rich | Editorial

Par : Editorial
2 juin 2024 à 19:30

G20 countries will discuss proposals to make the world’s wealthiest individuals pay more towards funding public goods. The debate is overdue

In his book The Society of Equals, the leading French sociologist Pierre Rosanvallon identifies the rise of the global super-rich as inimical to a shared social order. “The secession of the wealthy,” writes Prof Rosanvallon, means that “the richest sliver of the population now lives in a world unto itself”.

Tax avoidance is perhaps the most obvious and resented way in which this “separatism” of the rich manifests itself. Whether through silting their money away in tax havens, or exploiting loopholes and using creative accounting, the world’s billionaires these days pay a far smaller proportion of their income to fund public goods than the rest of us. In the 1960s, the 400 richest Americans paid more than half their income in taxes. By 2018, it was less than a quarter.

The Guardian view on social media harms: the tech giants must be more open | Editorial

Par : Editorial
2 juin 2024 à 19:25

The online safety bill was a start, but campaigners are right to demand more, especially in situations where a child has has died

Bereaved parents of children whose deaths have been linked to social media are crucial voices in the debate over how to ensure that under-18s are not harmed by their experiences online. Two years ago, a coroner’s verdict that the death of Molly Russell was contributed to by “the negative effects of online content”, including algorithmically delivered self-harm material, was a watershed moment. Now Ellen Roome, whose son Jools Sweeney took his own life for unknown reasons in Cheltenham in 2022, has become the latest campaigner for changes to the law in this area.

Her petition calling for parents whose children have died to have a right of access to social media accounts has attracted 120,000 signatures and is likely to be debated by MPs early in the next parliament. While the online safety bill, which received royal assent in October, significantly strengthened a weak and outdated regulatory framework, Ms Roome and the other families in the Bereaved Parents for Online Safety group are right that more needs to be done.

Exclusive: Leaked internal documents show Pravfond has spent millions of euros to finance propaganda and legal campaigns

Leaked internal documents have exposed the activities of a Russian state-backed legal defence foundation that European intelligence agencies and analysts say is in fact a Kremlin influence operation active in 48 countries across Europe and around the world.

Internal documents from the Fund for Support and Protection of the Rights of Compatriots Living Abroad (Pravfond) indicate that the foundation finances propaganda websites targeted at Europeans, helped pay for the legal defence of the convicted arms trafficker Viktor Bout and the assassin Vadim Krasikov, and has employed a number of former intelligence officers as the directors of its operations in European countries.
