Through. Germanys alexander zverev, one of the challenges. His first set performance was strong, taking the spaniard down 6 2. After that it was a tighter affair but the german held his nerve in front of the big crowd to seal it. Just the one break needed insert to for the victory. The atmosphere is the reason why everybody is trying to, the goal of the give beginning of the season is to make london because playing here, playing in front of all you guys, playing in front of all you guys, playing in front of all you guys, playing in the 02 is something we dont have during the year and this is so special. Like alexander zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas is a play on the rise, challenged the old guard. Stefanos tsitsipas and medvedev had a great rivalry and had never taken down the russian. It was a first set with no breaks of serve. Tsitsipas taking it on one crucial point. The only break came in the second set and it would prove to be as decisive. The new greek sporting icon making it a debut in london to remember. If tsitsipas and medvedev are a glimpse into tennis future, they still have to dethrone the old guard. Remarkably nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer are the top three seeds in london just as they were for the corresponding tournament 12 years ago. So before the event, we decided to sit them down with sally nugent on a boat on the river thames as you do to reflect on more than a decade of dominance. Gentlemen, we are used to seeing you more at wimbledon rather than cruising on the river on a boat. This all looks very friendly. Are you all friends . Let me answer this one. All rivals . Isnt this casual boat ride telling you enough . We have been on the tour for so many yea rs. Have been on the tour for so many years. I do get to see these guys probably more than my parents. You travel with your family dont you . I like it, its the only way i can see it working for me, to still sound too. The kids need to be happy on the road. We have the four children. A lot goes into it. One of my kids was not feeling well. She was apologising to me. Im so sorry, im not feeling well. Its tougher when it is just before semis and finals before one of my big rivals. Any advice for the newlywed . Good luck. Actually, i needed. You know what, i was thought i would start my tennis career was thought i would start my tennis career around 305. So was thought i would start my tenni5 career around 305. So come on then. After that, i thought i was going to 5ta rt after that, i thought i was going to start but maybe now its the time to 5ta rt, start but maybe now its the time to start, you never know. So how much longer can you three keep laying . think thats a question, its either all of us stop or none of us stop. think im the first to go, come on. Lam the think im the first to go, come on. I am the older guy here but i think it would be interesting. We are all not sure how much there is left but the great thing here is, we all enjoyed ourselves generally on the tour. I think its a privilege that we are still so helpfully. How mentally tough is it to keep going . Its an individual sport . You would have to take the responsibility and really be able to sustain the wear and tear. Andy murray. Can you believe he is even back on the court and what is your message to him . What he showed everyone is his passion and love the game. After all the things that went to do. He is able to win again and to play that. I think very soon, he is in a strong message for the kids. Pep guardiola might not have been happy with the match officials and the video assistant referee in their defeat to liverpool at the weekend but the man who is in charge of var in the premier league has given it a mark of seven out of 10 since it was introduced this season.

Shed previously been open about her battles with Mental Health but told us the added scrutiny in dubai hadnt been easy. Its been a challenge. Its been tricky. Just trying to deal with managing my eating, having so many people around me, and so many eyes on me, its pushed me to do more extreme things. It was a bad thing, i bought a load of laxatives, which was one bad thing on my way out here and i bought loads of sweets so i binged, and unfortunately, its part of the battle in my head.

Its been a very unsettled start to november, even indeed before november, weve seen a lot of rainfall around. Low pressure has been firmly in control and it has been quite cold as well. The rest of the week stays unsettled thanks to low pressure, it will be quite windy too and we will see some snow around as it will remain cold over the higher ground. Low pressure firmly in control of our weather for tuesday, bringing fairly strong wind from the north west with a lot of showers circulating around it. Early on tuesday, it looks like most of the showers will be across parts of scotland and Northern Ireland, Northern England, some wintriness over the high ground of scotland but further south, it should be dry with lengthy clear skies. That does not mean it wont turn quite chilly here. 1 3 degrees here with the showers, generally 11 5 degrees to start tuesday. So we start with sunshine across the south, spreading areas, but bands of shower and long spells of rain spreading into south eastern areas into the afternoon. And there will contine to be some wintriness over the high ground. It will feel cold with temperatures 7 8 degrees. Out on the wind, itll feel quite raw. Low pressure pushes off into the north sea and allows a bump of High Pressure to build in before wednesday before this next weather system moves in wednesday night into thursday. Could bring some areas quite a lot of rainfall, unfortunately. Through wednesday, though, could be a chilly start in central, eastern and Northern Areas but dry and bright thanks to that bump of High Pressure. The next weather system will be arriving across Northern Ireland and wales and the south west of england, bringing heavy rain here late in the day and it will be another chilly one, temperatures struggling to get up as much as 4 degrees across scotland. Through wednesday night a few showers here and the weather front across the south west will push northwards and eastwards, itll pivot as well, we think. Bit of uncertainty too, its northwards or southwards extent but some areas could see quite a lot of rainfall it could be the flood affected areas in the midlands and Northern England could see quite a bit of rainfall. Again, i have to emphasise some uncertainty on the position of the weather front. There are a number of flood warnings still in force and this rain could exacerbate that as well so stay tuned to the forecast and head onto the bbc weather website. Into friday the weather front starts to fade and move southwards and eastwards. So it could be quite cloudy on friday across southern and eastern areas, one or two showers here, quite blustery. But further north and west, we will see a ridge of High Pressure move in. Its an improving picture here with some good spells of sunshine. And temperatures again on the low side, sticking in single figures for most. Welcome to bbc news. My name is mike embley.
