Cofidis rider Bryan Coquard could leave the Vuelta a Espana after the 13th stage on Friday in order to compete elsewhere for UCI World Tour points. Frenchman Coquard is unlikely to challenge for the Grand Tour title so his team, according to his Italian teammate Davide Cimolai, may withdraw him so he can compete in smaller races in order to pick up more points, reported L’Equipe.
Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula accused umpire Christian Rask of “stealing points” from the No. 2 seeds during a controversial end to their doubles defeat at the US Open. During the all-important third-set championship tie-break against Leylah Fernandez and Daria Saville, Gauff and Pegula were trailing 7-5 – three points away from losing – when Saville called “let” during the middle of a point.
After a Stage 12 full of general classification action, Stage 13 is one for the breakaway specialists and sprinters with a decent uphill kick. Remco Evenepoel (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) recovered from a spill — and a slight tantrum — to lead his GC rivals home on Stage 12 won by Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers). Ad The 22-year-old had initially raged after losing his front wheel on a innocuous bend during the descent back towards the coast at a point in the race when Quick-Step were under no real pressure.
Rafael Nadal was left baffled by his own “terrible” start before securing a comeback four-set win over Fabio Fognini at the US Open. The 22-time Grand Slam champion advanced to the third round at Flushing Meadows, but only after he dropped the first set 6-2 and then lost his opening three service games in set two. Ad Fortunately for Nadal, he had broken Fognini twice to only trail 3-2 early in the second set, and two more breaks then helped the Spaniard level the match.
Nick Kyrgios has been fined $7,500 for ‘spitting and audible obscenities’ during his win at the second round of the US Open on Wednesday, tournament organisers confirmed, reported Reuters. The fine is the largest of the tournament so far and follows on from a number of fines in the 27-year-old Australian’s career. Ad Kyrgios was in an angsty and talkative mood during his match against Benjamin Bonzi, beating the Frenchman 7-6(3) 6-4 4-6 6-4, but when he was broken in the fourth set he appeared to lose control of his emotions.
Premier League clubs broke their transfer window record and spent more than Italian, French and Spanish sides combined. The clubs spent almost £2 billion on players in the summer transfer window. The Premier League accounted for 49% of collective gross spend across the ‘big five’ leagues, with Serie A contributing £648m, Ligue 1 £483, La Liga £437m and the Bundesliga £418m.
FRIDAY'S BIG STORIES Staying Put Ad For an hour or so, a certain section of the internet got very excited indeed. A video taken by a fan showed a black van outside a house, apparently near Birmingham, apparently belonging to a footballer. Another enterprising fan then claimed to have found some traffic camera footage showing that same van on its way to London.
Rublev’s residency at the Garden Andrey Rublev made the most of his time in New York before the start of the US Open, attending three shows at Madison Square Garden; twice going to see Harry Styles’ Love On Tour concert and once to see Twenty One Pilots. Ad The Russian No. 9 seed, who advanced to the third round on Thursday with a straight-sets win over Kwon Soonwoo, once joined a cover band to make a music video of a One Direction song and it appears his love for Harry Styles has grown since then.
