All England Championship: PV Sindhu Enters Second Round After Yvonne Li Retires
Double Olympic medallist PV Sindhu progressed to the second round of the women's singles competition at the All England Championships after her German opponent Yvonne Li retired following the completion of the first game on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old from Hyderabad will next face top seed Korean An Se Young, who has proved her nemesis, having defeated her all six times they have crossed paths in international badminton. In fact, only once has Sindhu managed to take a game away from the world No. 1 Korean when they met last time at the Asia Championships in Dubai last year.

Kobbie Mainoo is gunning for former Liverpool man but Manchester United will be happy to wait
Gareth Southgate must have been impressed when he took up a seat in the Villa Park directors' box and watched a teenage midfielder turn in another bravura performance. It's a quirk of Kobbie Mainoo's stylish ascent at Manchester United that his best performances have actually come on opposition territory, rather than at Old Trafford, which says plenty about his character.
