After a record 50,000 people – compared to 29,000 last year – attended the qualifying event this week, there was a stir on court Philippe Chatrier as Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk refused to shake hands with world number two Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus after losing 6-3 6-2.

Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) may be toasting victory at the Giro d’Italia – assuming he survives Sunday’s pan-flat circuit stage around Rome without incident – but the result could have been completely different after he suffered a disastrous mechanical on Stage 20. The Slovenian was piling the pressure on leader Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) when his chain slipped off in a crazy finale to the individual time trial on Monte Lussari. Ad He headed into the final GC stage looking to overturn a 26-second deficit on Thomas after pinching three seconds back in the Dolomites on Friday.
Belarus' Aryna Sabalenka powered into the second round of the French Open with a 6-3 6-2 win over Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk in a feisty Paris clash to start the year's second Grand Slam on Sunday, but was left perplexed by jeering from some parts of the crowd.
