And that is after the 2a year old, who has never made it this far at flushing meadows, broke Britains Johanna Konta in the seventh game of the opening set to eventually claim it 6 4, and in the second set, she managed to break again to serve it out. Svitolina is the highest seed left in the draw and has steadily built her game this year, after claiming the season ending wta tour finals event in 2018. You have to bring your best game to beat them, it doesnt matter who it is going to be in the semi final, but if it is serena, it is an amazing champion. Probably going to be really tough against her. In the mens draw, russian Daniil Medvedev has reached the semi finals after overcoming former champion Stan Wawrinka in four sets. Despite requiring treatment to a thigh injury during the first set, the 23 year old won it on a tie break, before going two sets up on the back of wonderful play such as this drop shot. The 2016 winner, wawrinka, rallied to claim the third set. But medvedev raced through the fourth to claim a 7 6, 6 3, 3 6, 6 1win over the 23rd seed, and he will now meet either five time us open winner Roger Federer or Bulgarias Grigor Dimitrov for a place in the final. They are currently on court. Roger federer racing away in the opening set, currently 3 1 up and 30 15 serving in the fifth game. New zealand have wrapped up their t20 series with one match to play after a four wicket win over sri lanka in kandy. A bizarre fielding collision in the last over helped the black caps home and Claire Thornton was watching. Ina in a match that was win or bust for the home side, sri lanka elected to bat first after winning the toss. After 79 in the first match he intent on serving plenty after himself he made sure they got their man before too much damage was done. The bowling of mitchell was punished on the way to a quickfire 37. He made his mark in other ways with a stunning catch, taking the wicket of a dangerous opponent. By the time the last ball of the innings saw a run out, sri lanka set the black caps are reachable target of 162 for victory and the series. With mutton guptil injured while fielding after unable to bat, his side slipped. The ship was steadied with tim bruce as they put on a fourth wicket stand of 109, racking up half centuries in the process. Bruce was then run out by these catlike reflexes, meaning new zealand still needed seven to win off four goals. Then there was the most bizarre six you are likely to see, when sattler blasted the first ball he faced into the deep, and the ball hit the boundary before it was released, so a six was awarded while the medical staff were called into action. Needing just a single, sattler hit a four. On wednesday at old trafford, the fourth ashes test gets under way between england and australia with the sides level at 1 1 with two tests remaining. That is after a dramatic batting display from englands ben stokes kept the hosts in the series at headingley in leeds over a week ago. Both teams have made changes though, for this one, asjoe lynskey explains. Well, this ashes series is now so finely poised after that famous day at headingley. Ben stokess innings to win the third test for england means these sides now go across the english pennines from leeds to manchester for the fourth test at old trafford. They are level at 1 1 and australia know that one more test win for them is still good enough for them to retain the ashes and. They know their chances for that go up significantly with this man in the team. Steve smith is back batting again after concussion stopped him from doing so in leeds. In his three full innings of this series he has scored almost 400 runs atan series he has scored almost 400 runs at an average of 126, and that has now moved him back up to the top of the test rankings for batsmen around the test rankings for batsmen around the world. The first time he has been there since the bell tampering scandal last year. He overtakes indias kohli. Smiths reintroduction means australia had to fit him in somewhere in their batting lineup. Usman khawaja is the man to make way. He hasnt gone past 36 in this series, so there is room for another batsmen who has made three consecutive half centuries since coming in for smith at lords. And with him alongside smith, that makes australia pretty excited. And with him alongside smith, that makes australia pretty excitedlj think makes australia pretty excited. think everyone in the world is looking forward to watching steve smith bat, we always do. And again, i think steve has missed one test match. He hasnt been out for 12 months. He came back from a 12 month layoff pretty well so i expect he will handle six days without batting pretty well. There is also a change in australias bowling line up. They will likely bring in this man, mitchell starc, into their 11 for the first time in this series. He is a left arm up capable of incredible pace as well. He was expensive and the one day form of the game, where he conceded a fair amount of runs in the overs that he bowled. Australia think he will be useful, though, u nless think he will be useful, though, unless old trafford pitch. It is the surface as well which has apparently attempted england into their only personnel change. Chris woa kes attempted england into their only personnel change. Chris woakes was pretty consistent at lords but has now lost his place for the quicker and taller Craig Overton who comes in. Overton took the wicket of steve smith in the last ashes series, which australia 14 0. But chris woa kes might feel disappointed which australia 14 0. But chris woakes might feel disappointed to lose his place given that it is the batting which has been issued. They havent changed their batting personnel but they have swapped the order of their batsmen to make things a bit better for them at the top, they hope. Joe denly moves into the openers, while jason roy is now moved to number four, the openers, while jason roy is now moved to numberfour, but his captain still has faith that roy can put ina captain still has faith that roy can put in a good innings for him. He is a competitor. You know, you saw him come into ashes cricket on debut and straightaway looked very much at home. He got himself in a battle, andi home. He got himself in a battle, and i expect him to dojust home. He got himself in a battle, and i expect him to do just that this week. He has got good control, good skills, moves the ball off the straight and i expect him to cause some issues for the aussie batters. And now to iconic batsmen, steve smith and ben smokes now ben stokes now in the thick of this series. England are the team with momentum, but old trafford could come down to how these two individuals fair. Fare. Former Brazil World Cup winning manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has been sacked as head coach of palmeiras.

You can get all the latest sports news at our website. But from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. Hello there. This weeks weather is looking fairly benign. Thats because weve got atlantic influence, so a mixture of conditions a bit of sunshine, some cloud, generally temperatures around the seasonal average or a little bit below. And in fact, wednesday looks like one of those days where the temperatures will be below average, and itll be windy, as well, so thatll make it feel even cooler. And the reason is because weve got this area of low pressure moving down from the north west, around our area of High Pressure. Two weather fronts on it, one bringing rain in the south east, this next one bringing plenty of showers to scotland and Northern Ireland through the day. But that rain should clear away from the south east through the morning. Skies will brighten up, but the winds will pick up from a north westerly, bringing plenty of showers. In the northern half of the country, some of these could be quite heavy, and those wind gusts, 30, 40, maybe 50 mph, could even be stronger in exposure. So itll feel cooler 10 13 degrees in the north, 17 19 across the south east. As we head through wednesday night, it stays blustery. Looks like those showers continue on for awhile, and then most of them clear away. But more return to the north and the west of the country, and its to going be another cool night. In fact, temperatures in Single Digits even in towns and cities across northern areas, just about making double figures in the south. So weve still got a similar pressure pattern, with High Pressure in across the south west. This area of low pressure will bring some wetter weather and also some cooler weather as we reach friday. But for thursday, were in between the systems. Well see a few showers across northern and western areas, and actually, slightly milder air moving in behind this line of showers, so we could see 15 16 degrees in the north. Further south, variable cloud, some sunny spells, just one or two showers, again the mid to high teens celsius. That area of low pressure i showed you moves in for friday, brings quite a bit of cloud, outbreaks of rain. This is a cold front moving southwards, and that again will introduce cooler north westerlies, so the temperatures will be down again on friday. 13 to around 15 or 16 in the north, 17 or 18 across the south east. That front clears through. High pressure wants to build back in as we head into the start of the weekend. Thatll introduce something a little bit milder once again, and the winds should be a bit lighter. So fairly breezy across the east coast for a while, but that High Pressure will bring lighter winds, increasing chance of sunshine around. So thatll feel a little bit warmer, i think, for the start of the weekend, with the mid teens in the north. 19, maybe 20 degrees across the south east. And we hold onto this fairly benign pattern through the weekend and into next week, with atlantic air moving in on a westerly. Welcome to bbc news. Im duncan golsetani.
