@SteveTheScout1 @FreddieBoyle4 @AmberArmy1912 @Official_BRFC @OakfieldGroup Played a lot across first 10 games of the season when we were midtable and then wasn’t involved much at all from that point when we actually climbed into the playoffs and then top 3

@SalfordCityFC If I was Salford, I would have simply just scored at Crawley

[Sam Jacot @samjacot]

This longform is well worth 10 minutes of anyone’s time. Great job @JeromeCoombe

[ATP Tour @atptour]

Sinner’s set! 🏆

Here’s how the 24-year-old completed the Career Golden Masters in less than three years, and turned one of the sport’s long-term pursuits into a sprint 👇

Jack Draper will miss Roland Garros due to the knee tendon issue that has kept him out since Barcelona.

He is aiming to return at the beginning of the grass season.

Draper will likely fall out of the top 100 post-RG after being ranked #4 last June. Just a brutal 11 months.

[Sam Jacot @samjacot]

Great to speak with Arthur Fils' coach Ivan Cinkus. Frenchman's comeback, recent success, future goals and loads more discussed. Fils faces Lehecka in Madrid QFs on Wednesday evening

[Tales from Tennis @TalesFromTennis]

Can Arthur Fils really make the ATP Finals? 👀

Back from injury and already 5th in the Race with another deep run in Madrid following his Barcelona title, his coach Ivan Cinkus shares his thoughts on what's possible this season 🇫🇷

[Carlos Alcaraz @carlosalcaraz]

Después de los resultados de las pruebas realizadas hoy, hemos decidido que lo más prudente es ser cautos y no participar en Roma y Roland Garros, a la espera de valorar la evolución para decidir cuándo volveremos a la pista. Es un momento complicado para mí, pero estoy seguro de que saldremos más fuertes de aquí ❤️

[Sam Jacot @samjacot]

@irishmariner88 @MikeyMcMahon Yeah but this works for a lot of teams. Cambridge have conceded injury time equalisers against Grimsby, Chesterfield, Swindon, MK and Cheltenham and should have won four of those matches comfortably. Would have 86 points in that case

[José Morgado @josemorgado]

News from Roland Garros 2026:
