Listen to the news:

 

Tennis - Novak Djokovic underlined his recent dominance at Wimbledon with a composed and controlled fightback against Australia's Nick Kyrgios to win a fourth consecutive men's singles title. 

 

After losing the first set he ended up winning 4-6 6-3 6-4 7-6. It is Djokovic's seventh SW19 men's title and only Roger Federer has more. Victory also moved him one behind Rafael Nadal's record 22 men's majors.

 

F1 - In the Austrian Grand Prix Ferrari's Charles Leclerc passed title rival Max Verstappen three times on his way to a commanding victory.  

 

Carlos Sainz was on course to make it a Ferrari one-two before he suffered an engine failure with 14 laps to go. Leclerc cut Verstappen's championship lead to 38 points, to revive his hopes.

 

And it moves him back ahead of Red Bull's Sergio Perez to second in the standings. Lewis Hamilton took third for Mercedes.

 

Women's Football - Grace Geyoro scored a hat-trick as France underlined their credentials as one of the favourites to win Euro 2022 by thrashing Italy 5-1 in their Group D opener. Iceland and Belgium were forced to settle for a point each in their entertaining Group D encounter.
