So lots for you tonight and we're starting at the us open tennis where britain's jack draper has scorched into the quarterfinals of a grand slam for the first time in his career. Draper hasn't dropped a set all tournament and he kept up that record in his victory over tomash ma—hatch in new york. Adam cottier reports. After the retirement of andy murray, here comes jack draper on top of his game after a superb fourth round win in new york. The british number one looked sharp from the start against thomas. . In the blink of an eye, draper powered through the first two sets on the louis armstrong court, in a type of form that suggests he has the potential to go even further. The 22—year—old left hander won his first career title in stuttgart injune, and with box office stars novak djokovic and carlos alcaraz already out of the us open, draper's ruthless edge could serve him well. He secured his place in the last eight in just one hour and 42 minutes. Draper has won four games without dropping a set now at flushing meadows, and he's the first british man to reach the quarterfinals in new york since andy murray did it eight years ago. Adam cottier, bbc news. It was a good match to come through. Um, you know, i'm incredibly proud to be in the quarterfinals. Obviously lost in the round of 16. Last year. So amazing to come through. You know, ithought it was it was a good match from my side. You know, i did what i needed to do. Um, you know, i competed well, and my level was pretty solid throughout, so i'm happy with the way i played today. I caught up with the bbc�*s tennis correspondent russell fuller after the match to get his reaction. Thisjust feels like the right time for him. He won his first atp title in stuttgart injune, became british number one. That took a bit of getting used to, and he lost to cameron norrie at wimbledon. And the olympics didn't quite go to plan. But since he's arrived in the united states, he was a quarterfinalist in cincinnati, and now into the last eight of a grand slam for the first time. He's still quite young, isn't he? and you followed so many talented and promising young british tennis players. How good do you think canjack draper be? he was always the player who had the potential to be in the top ten, and a grand slam champion. Now, you can say that about a lot of players who don't make it. Growth spurts relatively late on make quite a difference to him. Turned him into a six foot four inch player, a left hander, a lefty serve is always a little bit of an advantage, and he is now starting to deliver on that promise. What's held him back so far have been primarily physical problems, not quite as big as he needed to be, and his body breaking down at times. But the last year has been a tale of consistency. He's remained fit. Before winning the title in stuttgart, he reached atp finals in sofia at the end of last year, and adelaide at the start of this, again building blocks being put in place. And now we see the result on the biggest stage of all. Ok, just a quick line russell, if you wouldn't mind, on the women's draw because we've seen a bit of a shock today. Karolina muchova knocking out pauline. What's your reaction to that? well, maybe a little less surprised because karolina muchova may be unseeded, but she was a semi—finalist here last year and was the runner up in the french open in 2023, then had a wrist injury which required an operation and kept her out for ten months. She only returned on the grass at eastbourne injune, but she is such a complete player and i'm not that surprised that she won today in straight sets. But it ends this glorious summer run ofjasmine paolini, runner up at roland garros, runner up at wimbledon, errani, but now beaten at the fourth round stage in new york. Although i'm sure it won't wipe the smile off her face. Russell fuller reporting from the us open tennis now, it's day five of the paralympics in paris, and it started with a flurry of triathlon medals — a day later than planned after a drop in the water quality for the swimming in the seine forced a postponement. But it was better late than never for home favourite jules ribstein who took gold in the pts2 class in front of a huge crowd on the grand palais — one of two golds for the french triathletes today. China have had another fantastic day on the badminton courts in paris, with three more gold medals to take their total tally in the sport to eight golds. So far, the most any other nation has in badminton at these games — is one. But british sprint star jonny peacock missed out on winning a third 100m title in a row. The briton was fifth in the t64 final. Gold went to costa rica's sherman guity who set a new paralympic record with a time of 10. 65 seconds. And the first openly trans athlete at a paralympics, the aoom runner — valentina petrillo — failed in her attempt to qualify for the women's t12 final in paris. The 51—year—old italian, who identifies as a woman but competed as a man until the age of 45 — was well beaten in the semi—finals. Well, these paralympics are already being hailed as a huge success, and one of the most successful para athletes of all time — dame sarah storey, hopes the legacy in paris will go way beyond just the sport. I think the part of the legacy that is really challenging is the legacy for society, the legacy for accessibility for disabled people and how they can access their very best performance in whichever part of life they exist. So whether that's in a job in society, whether that's accessing buildings, public transport, we really struggle with that in the uk now. Now, cristiano ronaldo has more caps and goals than anybody else in men's international football history, but the portugal legend says he has no plans to stop playing for his country. The 39—year—old will be hoping to add two more appearances to his total of 212 games in the forthcoming nations league matches against croatia and scotland. He came in for criticism afterfailing to score during the summer's euros, but he still feels he has a role to play. Translation: when i will. Feel like i'm not adding any more. I'll be the first to leave. That's life. And i'll go with a clear conscience as always, because i know what i am. I know what i can do, i know what i do, and what i will continue to do. Rory mcilroy says he is aiming to cut back on his tournament schedule. The world number three will have played 27 events by the end of the year and ideally says he'd like to play closer to 20. It's been a long season, and i'm going to just have to think about trying to build in a few extra breaks here and there, um, you know, next year and going forward. Because, you know, ifelt like i hit a bit of a wall, um, sort of post us open and still feel a little bit of that hangover. The subject of concussion in rugby union is a hot topic. For several years now, a growing number of former players have been trying to get help and compensation — claiming the sport has left them suffering from long—term brain diseases. Rachel stonehouse reports. It's beautiful. Jason hobson and neil clarke are former rugby union team—mates. They started their rugby careers together in 1999 and played for exeter and bristol amongst other clubs. Jason went on to play for his country, but both also received some nasty hits. I got knocked out and i'm looking up and i don't know where i am for 20 minutes. You just tend to just get up and get on with it. Many professional athletes struggle emotionally when they retire, but after injuries forced them to stop playing in 2014, jason and neil noticed unexpected behavioural changes which they put down to repeated head impacts. I was ready not to be here. I thought, genuinely thought that my children would be better off and my wife without me in their life. I get emotional thinking about it now, but ijust want everything to stop the pain. Jason and neil have been diagnosed with probable cte — chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a condition linked to repeated blows to the head. I'm living with dementia every day. There's only one way it's going to go. It's not going to get better. Jason and neil don't blame the individual clubs they played for, which simply follow the rules set by world rugby. But the two are part of a group taking legal action against three of the rugby authorities. Our position is that the governing bodies have been negligent in their duty of care towards our rugby playing community, to protect them from all the varying neurological impairments that they are now suffering from. In a statement, world rugby and the welsh rugby union said the ongoing legal action prevents us from reaching out to players involved in this programme. We want them to know we care, we listen. And they remain valued members of the rugby family. They said they will never stand still when it comes to player welfare at all levels of the game. The rfu said rugby will continue to advance a range of data informed player welfare initiatives, such as lowering the tackle height in the community game and implementing smart mouthguard technology to measure all head impacts in the elite game. They say their paramount concern is, and always has been, the health and wellbeing of players. All three of the rugby governing bodies contest the legal claims, which haven't yet gone to trial. Rachel stonehouse, bbc news. That's it from sportsday. Much more on the bbc sports website and app, from me and the team, goodbye. Hello there. Whether we like it or not, september is the month where we transition from summer into autumn, and we're already seeing the first signs of that. We had a warm southerly, a humid feel, and 30 degrees on the 1st of september, but already a northwesterly flow is driving fresher air across the country. By the middle part of this week, temperatures will revert back to where they should be at this stage in the year, generally from 16—21 celsius. Monday brought a day of heavy rain across scotland in particular, and that's easing away, but still a trail of showers which will lingerfor quite some time during tuesday. So we're going to start off across the midlands with one or two isolated showers — these could become more frequent as they drift east, heavy and thundery into the afternoon across eastern england. South west england, wales and northern england, dry, settled and sunny, and after a lovely start across scotland, it will cloud over with some showery outbreaks of rain into the west and to parts of northern ireland. Here, 14—18 degrees the high, but we could see 23 in east anglia — and that's 73 fahrenheit. Now, as we move through tuesday evening into the early hours of wednesday morning, the showers across england and wales will tend to fade. We'll have a cluster of showers just pushing in across northern ireland, and we could have a coolish night in scotland. Low single figures perhaps likely in rural areas, so a particularly fresh start so a particularly fresh start here first thing here first thing on wednesday morning. On wednesday morning. High pressure is trying high pressure is trying to build in, but we've got this to build in, but we've got this weak weather front toppling weak weather front toppling across the high, and that could across the high, and that could be a little bit of a nuisance. Be a little bit of a nuisance. A band of cloud,a few a band of cloud,a few scattered showers east ranging from 14—21 celsius. Scattered showers east of the pennines running down of the pennines running down towards the southeast. Towards the southeast. Not that much rain on it. Not that much rain on it. A little bit of showery rain a little bit of showery rain into southern scotland into southern scotland and northern ireland, and northern ireland, but on the whole wednesday but on the whole wednesday will be a day of sunny spells, will be a day of sunny spells, scattered showers, and once again those temperatures scattered showers, and once it gets a little bit messy. Drifting down into france, and it could merge with another all—in—all, that could lead to quite an unsettled weekend but for scotland it looks drier and brighter as high pressure lingers longer. Welcome to newsday. I'm steve lai, reporting live from singapore.
