Andy Murray's difficult start to the year continued with defeat in Marseille but Heather Watson earned one of the best wins of her recent career at the Abu Dhabi Open on Tuesday. Murray lost 7-5 6-4 in another error-strewn showing against world number 66 Tomas Machac at the Open 13 Provence. He has lost all four of his matches in 2024, including a first-round exit at last month's Australian Open. Meanwhile, Watson beat Russian ninth seed Veronika Kudermetova 6-3 7-5. The convincing first-round win was Watson's best in terms of ranking since 2017, with Kudermetova ranked 16th in the world - 140 places above the former British number one. "I played really well and had a lot of fun out here today," said Watson, who beat 2020 Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin in qualifying to make the main draw. "I played a Grand Slam champion in the first round and that gave me a lot of confidence. That really helped. I knew the conditions and felt prepared for today."

Tiger Woods will play his first PGA Tour event of 2024 at the Genesis Invitational in February. The 15-time major champion has had a limited schedule since suffering a leg injury in a car crash in 2021. Woods last played in December when he said he expected to play one event per month in 2024. The 48-year-old says he is "excited" to be playing at the Genesis Invitational, which he hosts, and which starts in California on Thursday, 15 February. Woods withdrew from the Masters in April 2023 before making his return to competitive action at the Hero World Challenge in December. The American also played alongside his 14-year-old son Charlie at the PNC Championship in Orlando in December. Woods' last win on the PGA Tour was at the 2019 Zozo Championship in Japan, which saw him equal Sam Snead's record of 82 Tour victories. BBC SPORT

Alpine driver Pierre Gasly says he was not surprised by Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari for the 2025 season. Gasly said at the launch of Alpine's new car that he was "aware of [Hamilton having] some talks with Ferrari". "He is towards the end of his career, so it was now or never," Gasly said. "But I think it was kept secret for a long time," added the French 28-year-old, who is a close friend of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and plays computer games with Hamilton. He refused to say how he knew about the Mercedes driver's move. Gasly expressed little sympathy for Leclerc's team-mate Carlos Sainz, who is now looking for a seat for 2025. "Carlos is a great driver, Lewis is a fantastic driver, best of all time," Gasly said. "There was an opportunity on both sides and Ferrari and Lewis took it together. It leaves Carlos in a more tricky situation and it's not easy." Alpine slipped to sixth in the constructors' championship in 2023 after finishing fourth the year before and underwent major internal upheaval. They scored two podium finishes in 2023, one for Esteban Ocon in Monaco and a second for Gasly at the Dutch Grand Prix. Gasly said his team had taken "risks" in changing their car concept for 2024 and that this had the potential to lead to a difficult start to the season. BBC SPORT
