Listen to the news:

 

Tennis - Roger Federer, a 20-time Grand Slam singles champion, will retire from top-level tennis after the Laver Cup in London later this month.

Swiss Federer who is 41, has not played since Wimbledon last year, after which he had a third knee operation. He said "I have played more than 1,500 matches over 24 years. Now I must recognise when it is time to end my competitive career."

 

Football - In last night's Europa League action highlights included good wins for Frieburg who won 3-0 at Greek side Olympiacos FC Midtjylland who hammered Lazio 5-1, AEK Larnaca beat Dynamo Kiev 1-0 and Manchester United who won 2-0 in Moldova at Sheriff Tiraspol.

 

Rugby Union - New Zealand snatched a controversial win over Australia as Jordie Barrett's 81st-minute try put them in pole position in the Rugby Championship.

 

Australia had fought back from 18 points down to take the lead via Nic White's long-range 77th-minute penalty.

 

When Lalakai Foketi secured a turnover penalty in front of his own posts, it seemed the hosts had claimed the win.  But referee Mathieu Raynal reversed his call for time-wasting to give New Zealand the chance to land a late blow. 37 -39 was the score.
