Iga Swiatek took another confident step towards defending her Italian Open crown by beating Lesia Tsurenko 6-2 6-0 to reach the last 16 in Rome.

Three of the top seven seeds at the Italian Open earned wins on a busy Sunday in Rome as Daniil Medvedev, Holger Rune and Stefanos Tsitsipas advanced. Third seed Medvedev successfully navigated a potential banana skin of a tie against Emil Ruusuvuori that faced a rain delay after Saturday’s inclement weather forced several matches to be pushed forward. Ad Medvedev won 6-4 6-2 to end a surprisingly poor historic record in Rome; it was his first victory at the ATP Masters 1000 event in four appearances.
BT Sport experts Michael Laverty and Sylvain Guintoli believe that Maverick Vinales was not at fault for the crash with Francesco Bagnaia at the French MotoGP.

Ad Such was the nature of the crash that they were unable to rejoin the action, and tempers flared as they pushed and shoved each other on the sidelines before being separated by race officials.
Two-time defending champion Iga Swiatek swept aside Lesia Tsurenko 6-2, 6-0 to advance to the fourth round of the Italian Open on Sunday and extend her winning streak at the Foro Italico to 13 matches.
