having knocked out world number two daniil medvedev in the opening round, the brazilian beat argentina's guido pella in four sets. casper ruud is also through, after seeing off plucky giulio zeppieri in four sets. no problems for the women's world number one, iga swiatek, who eased into the third round with a straight sets win over america's claire liu. swiatek will now face china's xinyu wang in the next round. in my head, the process was pretty similar as two days ago, so i was able to play a bit better in the second set. and i used her set to get more information and get into the rhythm, but claire played pretty well. so i feel like it was more intense but i'm happy that i'm into the third round and i have a chance to play more matches here. off the court, there's been more disruption for former us open champion emma raducanu. she's on the lookout for her sixth coach in two years, after parting ways with sebastian sachs — despite only teaming up with him in december. posting on social media, raducanu said, "i have really enjoyed seb's coaching and working with him, it's unfortunate that circumstances made it unfeasible for both of us to continue right now." to football — where the future of one of the sport's biggest ever names looks unclear. lionel messi will be back on the market, after paris saint—germain manager christoph galtier confirmed the forward would be leaving psg at the end of the season. there's been speculation that messi could move to saudi arabia or the mls. meanwhile on the pitch, stuttgart have taken a huge step to securing their place in next season's bundesliga. they beat hamburg 3—0 in the first leg of their relegation playoff, as they extended their unbeaten home record to five matches. hamburg did have to play over 20 minutes with ten men, after anssi suhonen was sent off. the second leg is on monday. meanwhile in the netherlands, fc twente are closing in on a europa league spot for next season. manfred ugalde�*s last—minute strike giving them a 2—1 win at heerenveen, in the first leg of their play off. the second leg is on sunday. one otherfootball line to bring you — and inter miami have sacked their head coach, phil neville. the club, which are owned by neville�*s former manchester united and england team—mate, david beckham, sit bottom of the eastern conference with 15 points from 15 matches, and without a win in four games. the organisation representing referees in england have issued a statement condemning the abuse directed at anthony taylor in budapest airport, following wednesday's europa league final. the englishman had officiated the game, where sevilla beat roma on penalties — which led to roma manager jose mourinho confronting taylor in a car park after the match. in a number of videos circling on social media, taylor and his family appear to be the target of verbal and physical abuse from roma supporters. in a statement, the pgmol said... meanwhile, police in england have said any protesters will be dealt with in a speedy and robust way if they try to disrupt the fa cup final between manchester city and manchester united this weekend. several recent sporting events, including the final of rugby union's premiership, have been disrupted by climate change protestors. more than 1,200 officers from three forces will be deployed to wembley. anyone that intends to disrupt or comes to london with the intention of disrupting the fa cup final will be met with the same sort of response that similar sort of protests have been met with, which is a really rather robust and expeditious response. we will make sure that whatever happens, if they manage to disrupt it a little bit, we will limit the amount of time they're on the field. there's no intelligence that it will happen, but if it does, we will respond in an expeditious and robust manner. now on thursday, the 2023 cerebral palsy european championships get under way, with england hoping to make their mark in sardinia. it's often referred to as "cp football" — and earlier, my colleague gavin ramjaun spoke to england captain matt crossen as he gave an assessment of the team's chances. it'sjust exciting, it'sjust controlling your nerves, really, and the excitement. the lads asked me what it was like, and what it's like around the camp, i can control and cope with the situations we're in. but yeah, you're just excited at the end of the day, we've trained a year or so up the road for this, and we can't wait to do it. realistically this is the easy part, because wejust have to go out and play. five games in nine days, it's quite an intensive schedule, and like you said, with the heat out there too — how will it be for the team to compete in those conditions? well, we've trained for that, you see? we knew that would be the schedule a while back, so we've done some intensity training mixed in with that, acclimatised ourselves obviously accordingly with what the weather will be like here. but yeah, it's not what you would like, but to be honest, it's what we've been training for and it is what it is, so we can't really change that. we would play 2a hours a day if we could, we just love football. but yeah, it's not so much a challenge, it's an exciting opportunity for us, i would say. and where does the biggest challenge lie ahead for you in terms of the tournament and success? success within our group, we know where we are in—house and we know where we want to be, and where we expect we will be. so success to us, obviously it's beating spain tomorrow and italy on sunday. so that's success, and honestly trying to get to the top of the group, which hopefully we will. england's cricketers are in complete control of their one—off test against ireland after the opening day's play at lord's in london. after winning the toss and choosing to field, england struck early thanks to stuart broad. he finished with figures of 5—51 as ireland were bowled out for 172. and in response, england closed just 20 runs behind on 152—1, ben duckett starring with the bat. unbeaten on 60 that one, his sixth half century in ii innings since returning to the test side. ultimately the day couldn't have gone much betterfor us. we won the toss and bowled, and helpful conditions for that first hour and a half, then the sun came out in the pitch played a lot nicer. it was crucial we got those first four wickets in that first session, and the way the guys played with the bat tonight was pretty awesome. so yeah, we put ourselves in a really good position, but like always in test cricket, you've got to back that up the next day. golf now — and america's davis riley is the man to catch at the top of the leaderboard after the opening round of golf�*s memorial tournament in ohio. he began with an opening round of five under par to finish the day, one shot clear of england's matt wallace. there are seven players tied on three under. defending champion billy horschel had an opening round to forget, finishing on 12 over par. germany's maximilian kleffer and sweden's simon forsstrom share the lead at the end of thursday's first round of the european open in hamburg. the pair hit four—under—par 69s to lead by one shot from a group of four other players. and finally, for many years, sebastian vettel dominated numerous race tracks around the world in formula one. now, the four—time world champion wants to dominate on water. he and double olympic sailing bronze medallist erik heil have come together to announce the germany sailgp team, ahead of the new season beginning on i6june. heil will drive the boat while vettel will stay dry, taking an active role in the management and performance of the team. well obviously, there's quite a few parallels between formula i and sailing, so let's say i've always been fascinated by that side of the sport. but really, it's the group, the people behind, and yeah, the journey, the whole adventure to become part of it from the very beginning, to have team germany involved. and yeah, obviously there's lots of stuff for me to learn, but i think overall, it looks like, yeah, a very cool thing to be part of. that's sadly all we have time for now. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, we'll see you soon. bye— bye. hello there. the next couple of days should bring a bit more in the way of sunshine to some parts of the uk that haven't seen that much of it recently. the brightest and warmest of the weather has been found in the west of the uk, whereas some spots further east have had a lingering cloud and onshore breeze which has made it feel cool, even chilly — during thursday, some eastern parts only got to around 11 celsius under cloudy skies. out west, 2a—25 in some sunshine. but what is coming our way shows up clearly here on the earlier satellite picture — some thinner cloud, which will be in place for friday morning, particularly across england and wales. but because that cloud is thinner, it should break up a little more readily, so i'm hopeful that more places will see sunshine during friday. just a bit of cloud close to the east coast of england, and also some more cloud into the western isles. but otherwise, largely sunny skies overhead, still a little bit on the chilly side for some eastern coasts with the breeze off the sea, highest temperatures in the west 23 celsius. with more of us, though, seeing sunshine, i think high uv levels will be an issue pretty much wherever you are. and then, as we head through friday night, we'll keep largely clear skies overhead, a few patches of cloud will float in from the north sea, and a bit more cloud hugging the coast of north—west scotland. but unusually chilly for an earlyjune night — temperatures perhaps down to 3—4 celsius in a few places. but after that cool or chilly start, saturday will be a predominantly dry day, with high pressure still firmly in charge, and most of us should get to see quite a lot of sunshine. there will be some patches of cloud close to this eastern coast. at times a bit more cloud maybe for the north coast of northern ireland, certainly for northwest scotland, and there isjust the small chance, a very small chance of catching a shower in scotland, particularly over high ground. highest temperatures again in the west, up to around 22—23 celsius. now as we move through saturday night, our area of high pressure, slightly changing shape, and i think we will pull a bit more of this cloud back around that high into some eastern counties of england. i don't think it'll linger in many places, it mayjust stay a little bit grey for some along the coast. but further west, again, lots of sunshine and highs of 23 celsius. and if you're looking for some rain, well, very little in the forecast next week — any that does turn up will be very short—lived. it'll stay predominantly dry with some spells of warm sunshine. live from washington. this is bbc news. air raids have been declared across ukraine after fresh calls from president zelensky for his country
