Kasatkina enjoys Australian support after nationality switch
PARIS, June 2 (Reuters) - A new chapter at the Grand Slams as an Australian player has left Daria Kasatkina feeling the love like never before after the Russian-born world number 17 took the bold decision to switch nationalities earlier this year. After a spell as a neutral athlete, with Russians and Belarusians banned from competing on tour under their own flags over Moscow's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Kasatkina's application for permanent residency was accepted by Australia this year. The 28-year-old, who has not returned to Russia after coming out as gay and speaking out against the war, has found plenty of new fans at events, and said following Monday's 6-3 7-5 French Open loss to Mirra Andreeva that it was a new experience. "Honestly, it's been a good result, first of all, but also I felt super good, to step on the court as an Australian player," Kasatkina told reporters. "To feel the support from the stands ... I heard many times that Aussies were -- I don't know if everyone who was screaming, 'Aussie' was from Australia but I felt this support." "On social media, I'm getting a lot of support from the Australians. They're so happy to welcome me and are happy for me so this is kind of support which I honestly didn't have before," Kasatkina added. "It feels like it's something new to me, but it feels so nice. There could be better results. Always could be better, but I think it's a good start." Defeat by the 18-year-old Russian Andreeva ended Kasatkina's bid to become the first Australian woman to reach the quarter-finals at Roland Garros since Ash Barty's title-winning campaign in 2019 but she said she was satisfied with her run. "It was a very tough match. I had quite a few chances in the second set, also in the first set," she said. "When you play a top player like Mirra, everything comes into details. There's nothing particular that I can tell you but ... those few important points, we were battling hard. "That happens. It's a game but, overall, I'm pretty happy about how I spent this week here at Roland Garros."

New, limited edition McLaren 750S Le Mans is a track demon
The Le Mans 24 Hour endurance race is right around the corner and to celebrate 30 years since its overall win in 1995, McLaren has unveiled the 750S Le Mans. If this sounds familiar, then you'd be right because back in 2020 McLaren marked the 25th anniversary of its win with the special edition 720S Le Mans. Aside from the performance upgrades the 750S introduced in 2023, there's also a new 'High Downforce Kit' from McLaren Special Operations for 'additional track performance'. Advertisement - Article continues below The standard 750S proved exceptionally popular when it was released three years ago, with order books immediately filling up for 18 months. The 750S Le Mans is likely to be in even more demand, with just 50 units planned – the same amount as the 720S Le Mans. The 750S Le Mans wears the colours of McLaren's famous 1995 Le Mans-winning number 59 F1 GTR with grey exterior paint – although McLaren's distinctive orange paint is optionally available, too. The 750S also gets a roof scoop and five-spoke LM wheels, reminiscent of the McLaren F1 GTR's. The MSO High Downforce Kit (HDK) consists of a new active rear carbon spoiler and an enlarged carbon-fibre splitter combining for an extra 10 per cent of downforce. The 750S's powertrain remains unchanged, with a four-litre twin-turbocharged V8 producing 740bhp and 800Nm for a 2.8-second zero to 62mph time. That power goes to the rear wheels via a revised (over the 720S) seven-speed automatic gearbox. Inside, you'll find McLaren's typically stripped-back cabin with a roll cage and a choice of Le Mans-branded bucket seats – either fully-upholstered or with exposed carbon fibre. There's also a bespoke plaque that acknowledges the 1995 victory where the dominant F1 GTR not only took the win, but also finished third, fourth and fifth. McLaren will be at this year's Le Mans racing in the LMGT3 class with its 750S-based GT3 EVO cars; in 2027 it'll enter the Hypercar class to compete for top honours.

Ipswich Town release two players including World Cup star as Kalvin Phillips' future is decided
IPSWICH have released just two players following their relegation from the Premier League. The Tractor Boys have cut ties with Australia star Massimo Luongo and winger Marcus Harness as the club prepares for life back in the Championship. 4 4 4 Kieran McKenna's side have also sent Kalvin Phillips back to his parent club Manchester City after the expiry of his season-long loan. Phillips, who failed to register a single goal contribution in 19 Prem games for Ipswich, has been linked with a return to Championship winners Leeds for months. The 29-year-old left his boyhood club, where he's still loved, for City back in 2022 in a six-year £45million deal. But he's had a nightmare time at the Etihad, playing just 16 times in the Prem in two seasons, before being loaned to West Ham and Ipswich. And it seems likely that Pep Guardiola 's side will look to permanently sell or loan out the Euro 2020 midfielder again this summer. Meanwhile, Julio Enciso will return to Brighton and former Everton defender Ben Godfrey has been shipped back to Atalanta after playing just three Prem games this season. Napoli midfielder Jens Cajuste's loan has also expired, despite him playing 33 games this term. Ipswich's statement read: "Luongo and Harness depart after playing significant roles in the club's back-to-back promotions from League One to the Premier League." Luongo, part of Australia 's 2014 and 2018 World Cup squads, joined in January 2023 and scored five goals in 75 appearances. Harness scored 10 goals in 89 games before joining Derby, who finished 19th in the Championship, on loan in August 2024. Kalvin Phillips reveals why having a dad in and out of prison drove him on to Premier League glory with Man City But the 29-year-old could be in luck as Derby boss John Eustace is interested in bringing him back to Pride Park on a permanent basis. Meanwhile, Harry Clarke will return from his loan at Sheffield United, who missed out on promotion after a heartbreaking play-off final defeat to Sunderland. Ali Al-Hamadi returns from Stoke and Cameron Humphreys from Wycombe Wanderers after having spent time away on loan. Centre-back Cameron Burgess and former Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe will be offered new contracts. Meanwhile, Chelsea have activated striker Liam Delap's £30million release clause - put in place in case Ipswich were relegated. 4
