Ruud, who leapt up to second in the rankings following his 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (7/1), 6-3 defeat, had no complaints following the loss against a player he described as a "hard nut to crack." "He's riding that wave," the 23-year-old Norwegian said Alcaraz. "At the moment he's the best player in the world in my eyes. He deserves that spot. He's one of these few rare talents that comes up every now and then in sports. That's what it seems like."
James Anderson believes England's positive style of Test cricket has changed the way people view the longest format of the game around the world as they stand on the brink of victory over South Africa in the third Test at The Oval. England need a further 33 runs to claim the series 2-1 and with 10 second innings wickets remaining, that looks a formality after they showed measured aggression with both bat and ball to take the game away from the tourists. Anderson has spoken before of the enjoyment the England team has in playing with freedom and credits coach Brendon McCullum for changing the face of the five day game.

Lewis Hamilton said the finish to the Italian Grand Prix in Monza brought back memories of last season’s finale in Abu Dhabi, when Max Verstappen won the Formula One title in controversial circumstances. The last few laps of the Italian GP were all behind a safety car after Daniel Ricciardo’s McLaren stopped on the track and had to be removed. Ad Verstappen won the race just as he did under different circumstances in Abu Dhabi, when then-FIA race director Michael Masi allowed racing to resume on the final lap rather than finishing with a safety car.
