international tennis federation, who got $3 billion worth of investment from an investment group decided they would try to get it all done in one week and get attention on the event. i think there will hopefully make a difference. whereas, if your country was knocked out before the final, unless you are a hardcore tennis fan, you probably didn't pay much attention to the finals taking place in november. the hope is that one big global event, whoever is in the final, there will be a big global audience tuning in. some people are confused by gerald piquet is involved in this. roger federer hasn't particularly wanted a new competition. mind you, he hasn't played much in the davis cup in recent yea rs. played much in the davis cup in recent years. he has referred to this as the gerald piquet cup on several occasions. lleyton hewitt, still the captain of australia, very much against this reorganisation. he said it is ridiculous. he said it is like me trying to make changes to the champions league. but it might have persuaded some players to play. i think perhaps without his star quality it's possible these proposals would never have got through the international tennis federation egm a couple of years ago. men's tennis has been waiting for the new generation of younger players to topple the old guard for some years now and a fresh—faced champion was duly crowned at the atp finals in london last night. stefanos tsitsipas beat dominc thiem in a tense final—set tie—break to become the youngest winner of the season finale since 2001. the question is, will that translate into grand slam titles in 2020? patrick gearey reports. perhaps finally the future is here. stefa nos perhaps finally the future is here. stefanos tsitsipas, a tour finals champion at 21. a generation of young men expected to tape —— take over. but the revolution has been on hold until now. i feel like my game is getting better all the time. i'm really close being crowned champion, in all these are strong words. i feel like i belong to be there. stefa nos feel like i belong to be there. stefanos tsitsipas was the youngest man playing at the event. you knocked out the oldest in the semis. his opponent, dominic team, beat both djokovic and federer. alexander's is have conquered rafa nadal. for those who have stood so long at the summit, there is a feeling something is happening beneath them. i look at the list of who is world number one and who it has been for years and it's crazy it's always one of us. but we're not younger. chances increase, not because we are getting worse but because we are getting worse but because the younger ones are getting better. novak djokovic and natal both won two each this year. one of the three of them have won 25 out of the three of them have won 25 out of the last 32 of them. they make up the last 32 of them. they make up the top three in the world rankings. so how much can be read into one week in london? we still have the big three. they didn't really deliver this week. it's exciting because the next generation of been banging on the door. to see tsitsipas get the biggest title of his career, it's very exciting. tsitsipas will know this event has not already —— not always been a good predictor of what will follow, none of the three kings have won it for the last three years. and yet normal service has been resumed in the grand slams. ultimately, it is what happens in the upcoming grand slams as to weather we remember this november as being a break point taken. a woman from kent says football has been a lifeline for her after a back injury sent her on a downwards spiral into obesity and mental health problems. lorraine humm weighed 2a stone before joining maidstone united and setting up the raiders disability football team 15 years ago. it is now the largest all—inclusive club in kent with 120 players and numerous county and national titles. juliette parkin has been to see them. the driving force buying the club that has changed so many lives. this is lorraine humm, a woman with a passion for sport and a determination that no player should ever be left on the sidelines. we wa nt to ever be left on the sidelines. we want to turn anyone away. we get them in, we have a look, see what their ability level is an put them ina team their ability level is an put them in a team with their ability players. established 15 years ago, raiders is the disability arm of maidstone united football club. run by volunteers, giving their time for 120 children and adults. 15 raiders teens now play in the disability leak. the under 15 is our crowned national champions. with my disability, autism, since joining this club, it's changed my mood so much. when i am in goal, the lads might kick it too hard, but i get used to it. i enjoy coming here. it gives me something to do at the weekends. it is tv and eating, really. but they make me welcome as pa rt of really. but they make me welcome as part of the team. lorraine has had her own experience of hitting rock bottom. a back injury 20 years although left her inactive and eventually weighing 2a stone. getting back into playing and coaching meant she shed the weight and gained her life back. coaching meant she shed the weight and gained her life backlj coaching meant she shed the weight and gained her life back. i wouldn't wa nt and gained her life back. i wouldn't want anyone to feel how i felt back then. i was in a very bad place. sorry, i'm cheering up. now, the raiders means everything to me. there are other clubs doing it, but i don't think anyone does it on the skill that lorraine does it. for her, it's seven days a week, 24 hours a day. it's a passion for her. she is brilliant. and it has not only changed her life, but the lives of hundreds of others. now, to the rest of my chat with england rugby's head coach eddie jones. i started by asking him about their performance in japan. he i started by asking him about their performance injapan. he admitted the should have not gone with the tea m the should have not gone with the team that beat the all blacks in the semis. in hindsight, i would have done that. but that's after watching the game in hindsight. you have put that semifinal victory against the all blacks up there in your top four victories. do you think you can bloat of at that and perhaps it skewed you are thinking, going into the final the springboks? that's probably right. the difficulty is you need to be at your best to beat new zealand. if you are not at your best, you don't get to the final. so we had to be at our best. the challenge was, could we get close to oui’ challenge was, could we get close to our best next week? it was always going to be difficult to replicate that fully. because of human nature. i think we did everything we could to be at our best. we were just a little bit off. it is four years ago this week that you arrived slightly dishevelled at heathrow after being tempted into the england job. where do you think england were and where are they now? they were obviously at are they now? they were obviously at a real low after the last world cup on home soil. we have gone from a tea m on home soil. we have gone from a team that couldn't make the play—offs to a team that has become second best in the world. so we have progressed. is there more progression? more certainly. i think where the youngest team ever to compete in a world cup semifinal. we need to keep developing our english style of game. it's fascinating with how you worked on those relationships and how you got an idea of exactly who these players we re idea of exactly who these players were when you are thrust into the england environment. calling team meetings at atm, not turning up at having secret cameras to see what they did. what other tricks did you employ? would you learn that as a coach? well, experience teaches that. and i'm very active in going around and studying other coaches to see what they do. there is always someone see what they do. there is always someone coaching better than you. so i'm always looking at football, hockey, cycling, looking to see where you can improve how you coach. secondly, you need to experiment. you need to be prepared to fill. in sport, that's difficult. every time you feel, someone will criticise you. you need to be prepared to experiment and take risks, see how you can develop stronger relationships. you worked alongside some great rugby union coaches in your early days. when you speak of other sports, who do you look at now? i know you spent some time with pep guardiola a few years back. do you look at the teams that are doing well? you're lucky being in england because there are so many good coaches. best coaches in the world in the english premier league. as much as i can, i go and visit them when there is an opportunity. if not, i study them by their interviews, pre—match and post—match. i have been lucky to meet alex ferguson and arsene wenger, the two icons of british soccer. i've been able to speak to them about their experience. i go to other sports. danny carey in hockey isa other sports. danny carey in hockey is a brilliant coach. so there are so many other opportunities to keep learning. you're clearing your book that you will be with england for another two years and honour your contract. is it slightly odd that it is halfway through a world cup cycle ? is halfway through a world cup cycle? warren gatland, joe smit, steve hansen, that's it, end of a four—year cycle standing down. i'm just wondering, will that be a little uncertain for england players coming through, if you might not be there for the full journey through to the next world cup? anil think the players worry about that. players with their coach on that day will give you 100%. if the coach disappears, they will give the next coach 100%. i think we have a great bunch of players here, the now how close they got to world cup glory and the want to go the next steps, so there will be motivated to do absolutely all that they can. eddiejones are eddie jones are speaking eddiejones are speaking to us earlier. a reminder of our top stories, saracens have accepted their £5 million fine along with a points penalty for breaking rules. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. good evening. temperatures might left later as cloud starts to spill in. blue colours on the chart are an indication of a widespread frost. temperatures below freezing for many of you. more by sunrise. in rural parts of northern england, perhaps -6. -10 is parts of northern england, perhaps —6. —10 is possible over northern scotland. plenty of sunshine but we will see more cloud in the west. some fog patches of wheels, the midlands, southern england, dense fog which could lift into drizzle. northern and eastern england will have a sunny day. in northern ireland and the south—west of england, we will see some rain develop. the rain will be held off to western ears as we go through the next few days. heading towards the weekend, we could see more rain develop further east as well. you're watching beyond 100 days. the royal family is facing its biggest storm in years, in the wake of prince andrew's extraordinary interview with the bbc. the prince is under mounting pressure to give evidence, under oath, about his links to jeffrey epstein. here in the united states, the prince has been attacked by lawyers representing jeffrey epstein's victims. there are renewed calls for him to now speak to the fbi. ‘there's no way out‘ — hong kong police trap hundreds of protestors on a university campus and stop crowds from trying to reach those inside, as beijing warns of a possible intervention to end the crisis. also on the programme... the brakes are coming off. the leaders of britain's political parties have been making their election pitch to big business today, with plans
