Norrie made his Grand Slam breakthrough with a memorable run to the Wimbledon semi-finals in July and, after another straight-set victory in New York, is quietly working his way through the US Open draw.

The 27-year-old left-hander, who was still ranked 74th in the world at the start of 2021, had never progressed past the third round at a major before his performance at the All England Club.

"Ticking that box to make the second week for the first time was huge for me. It was a big goal of mine to play well at Slams and play deep in Slams and to have these match-ups," he said.

"I think it does help going into the tournament, being ranked where I am, being seeded where I am."

Norrie is the only British singles player left in the tournament after 20th seed Evans was beaten by Croatia's Cilic, who won the title in 2014.

Lucas Joao was gifted a birthday double by slipshod Stoke as Reading maintained their perfect Championship home record with victory over Alex Neil's Potters.

The Royals led inside two minutes as Joao punished Stoke keeper Jack Bonham's ill-advised decision to race out of his box to meet a ball over the top.

Ben Wilmot fired the visitors level before the break but later clumsily felled Joao in the box and the Portuguese forward celebrated turning 29 by tucking home the winner from the spot.

Paul Ince's Reading move up to second in the table after a fourth win in four home games while Stoke stay 19th to leave Neil still seeking his first win as Potters boss.

Sheffield United reclaimed top spot in the Championship with an efficient victory at the MKM Stadium to end Hull City's perfect home record.

Oli McBurnie put the energetic Blades ahead when his 20th-minute drive squirmed through the hands of Tigers goalkeeper Matt Ingram at the near post for his third goal in as many games.

In-form Oscar Estupinan was denied twice by Wes Foderingham after he was sent clean through before Ozan Tufan lobbed on to the roof of the net as Hull failed to make the most of their chances to level.

The Blades made sure of the points in a largely scrappy second half when Sander Berge's deflected shot 16 minutes from time beat a helpless Ingram.

Max Verstappen's serene march to a second title continued with a comfortable victory in an eventful Dutch Grand Prix.

The Red Bull driver had to pass Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes after a late safety-car period to take his 10th win in 15 races this year to extend his lead to 109 points.

Hamilton was left fuming after Mercedes failed to change his tyres during the caution period.

That left him vulnerable and allowed team-mate George Russell and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc to pass him after the restart to take the other podium places.

Hamilton, who briefly had slim hopes of a victory with about 20 laps to go, saw them evaporate in a situation remarkably similar to the way in which he lost his eighth world title in Abu Dhabi last year.

He managed to hang on to fourth ahead of Red Bull's Sergio Perez, Fernando Alonso's Alpine and Lando Norris' McLaren. Ferrari's Carlos Sainz finished fifth on the road but was demoted to eighth after a five-second penalty for an unsafe pit stop release.

Kenya's Supreme Court has ruled that William Ruto was properly elected president, dismissing several petitions seeking to annul the result of the 9 August election.

His rival, Raila Odinga, and others had alleged that massive fraud, including tampering with results forms, had taken place.

Mr Ruto garnered 50.5% of the vote in the closely fought election.

The 55-year-old will be sworn in as the country's fifth president next week.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has resigned as manager of Burton Albion, who are bottom of League One.

The Dutchman, 50, leaves just two weeks after saying he would quit if he saw himself as "the problem" at Burton.

The final game of Hasselbaink's second spell in charge of the club was Saturday's defeat by Oxford, which leaves them with just one point from their first seven games this season.

Assistant manager Dino Maamria will take over as Burton's interim boss.

Hasselbaink led Burton to promotion as League Two champions in 2015 during his first stint as manager at the Pirelli Stadium.

He returned in January 2021 when Albion were bottom of League One and guided them to a 16th-place finish. The Brewers finished in the same position last term in his first full season back at the helm.

1997 – An estimated 2.5 billion people worldwide watched the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, on television.

The Mikhail Gorbachev presidential campaign, 1996 was an electoral campaign effort by former President of the Soviet Union and General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev in the 1996 Russian presidential election. Gorbachev's candidacy was beset by the obstacles of both minimal media coverage and a high level of disdain towards him amongst the Russian populace. Gorbachev's candidacy ended in defeat during the first round of the election. The effort was the first, and only, electoral campaign of Gorbachev's post-Soviet political career.

Gorbachev, subsequently, has questioned the validity of the election results. While he acknowledges that he lost by a significant margin, Gorbachev suspects that his actual vote count still exceeded what was reported in the official tally. In 2017, Gorbachev wrote in his book The New Russia that he believes that, "there have been no fair and free elections in Russia since those of 1989, 1990 and the election of 1991 when Boris Yeltsin became the first president of Russia."

EastEnders fans have showered Jaime Winstone with praise for her performance as Peggy Mitchell in the flashback episode.

The actress, 37, played the character made famous by Barbara Windsor, for a special one-off episode which saw the family facing hardship as they struggle to get by in the late 1970s.

The episode garnered a strong Twitter reaction from fans, with many calling on the soap to create a spin-off.

Former Scotland international Kenny Logan has revealed his "huge shock" at being diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Logan, 50, who won 70 caps for his country, was given the news in February.

After choosing to have his prostate removed, he now says he is "95% back to normal" three months after the operation.

"It's hard because when you're told you've got cancer - I literally fell over," Logan told BBC Breakfast.

"I didn't see it coming, no symptoms whatsoever, I had to go looking for it."

Stirling-born Logan, whose club career took him to Glasgow, London Wasps and London Scottish, made his international debut in 1992 against Australia at the age of 20.

The winger went on to score 13 tries for Scotland over an 11-year period before retiring after the 2003 World Cup.

Hakim Ziyech volleys the ball into the turf and it bounces over the bar.

Wolves have launched an appeal to the Football Association after failing to gain a work permit for Diego Costa.

Costa is travelling to Wolves' Compton training base as the Premier League club wait for news of their appeal.

The former Chelsea striker has been on trial with Wolves this week as the club look for cover following injuries to Sasa Kalajdzic and Raul Jimenez.

Costa, 33, is a free agent having been without a club since leaving Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro in January.

He has not played a professional game since 12 December and his lack of action in recent months meant he did not automatically qualify for a work permit.
