Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner had an audience on Wednesday with the newly elected Pope Leo XIV, himself a keen tennis player, the Vatican said. Sinner was invited to the Vatican along with his parents and a delegation from the Italian Tennis Federation. Leo joked earlier this week that he didn't want to meet the world number one, at least not behind the net. Asked by a journalist if he would take part in a charity match, Leo appeared up for it, but cautioned: "Just don't bring Sinner," making a Catholic pun about the last name of the tennis star.

Carlos Alcaraz strode into the semi-finals of the Italian Open on Wednesday after putting in a powerful display to down Jack Draper in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4. Third seed Alcaraz will face one of reigning Rome champion Alexander Zverev and home hope Lorenzo Musetti, the day's final pairing on centre court, in the last four at the Foro Italico.

Former US Open winner Gauff could face tournament favourite Aryna Sabalenka in the last four with the world number one taking on Zheng Qinwen later on Wednesday. Gauff is looking for her first title of the season, ahead of Roland Garros starting later this month, after losing the Madrid final to Sabalenka.
