ATP roundup: One-sided matches in rainy Geneva
Only three Round of 32 matches were completed due to rain delays, with some fixtures being pushed to Wednesday.
Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech hit four aces and never faced break point in beating Serbia's Miomir Kecmanovic 6-4, 6-2 in 73 minutes. In an even more lopsided affair, Hungary's Fabian Marozsan needed about 46 minutes to finish off Brazilian qualifier Karue Sell 6-1, 6-1, as he enjoyed a 20-4 advantage in winners.

Bournemouth pushing for Lille's Bafodé Diakité to replace outgoing Illia Zabarnyi
Bournemouth are pushing to sign the Lille centre-back Bafodé Diakité as a replacement for Illia Zabarnyi, who is poised to join Paris Saint-Germain. Zabarnyi is expected to join PSG in a deal worth almost €70m (£61m), with talks over add-ons ongoing. Zabarnyi's anticipated departure would mean Bournemouth will have generated more than £150m this summer, with fellow defenders Milos Kerkez and Dean Huijsen joining Liverpool and Real Madrid respectively. Premier League clubs are understood to be monitoring PSG's progress with a deal for Zabarnyi, given the protracted talks in recent weeks, but the expectation is the 22-year-old Ukraine defender will depart for the French club. The 24-year-old Diakite has been the subject of interest from Premier League rivals, including Sunderland. The Cherries looked to Ligue 1 for Kerkez's replacement, Adrien Truffert, and now hope to seal the signing of Diakité, who was a regular starter for Lille last season. Bournemouth also signed Eli Junior Kroupi from the French club Lorient earlier this year. Another Lille player, goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, is primed to join PSG. There are suggestions Chevalier will become Luis Enrique's new No 1, casting doubt over the immediate future of the Italy international Gianluigi Donnarumma, who was part of the Champions League-winning side last season. Andoni Iraola wants two new defenders this summer after Huijsen's exit. Bournemouth tracked Nathan Zézé but the 20-year-old joined Saudi Pro League Neom from Nantes at the end of last month. The Cherries are thought to hold an interest in the 19-year-old Chelsea defender Josh Acheampong. Elsewhere, West Ham are poised to sign Mads Hermansen after striking an £18m deal to sign the goalkeeper from relegated Leicester. The Championship club were resigned to losing the Denmark goalkeeper, who will reunite with Casper Ankergren, West Ham's lead goalkeeper coach, whom he worked with at Brondby. Meanwhile Wilfred Ndidi, one of Leicester's highest earners, is joining Besiktas after the Turkish club triggered his £9m release clause.

Crystal Palace to FINALLY appear at Court of Arbitration for Sport to appeal Europa League demotion
Crystal Palace will attempt to overturn their Europa League demotion at a high-stakes hearing on Friday – and the man at the centre of the issue will not be present. Eagles lawyers and officials will present their case having appealed UEFA's decision to drop them into the Europa Conference League thanks to breaches of its rules on multi-club ownership. Last month, revealed how Palace were in grave danger of being kicked out of the competition. And, following a hearing at UEFA HQ, the FA Cup winners' fears became reality. UEFA adjudicators ruled that John Textor, the US businessman whose company held a 43 per cent stake in the club along with a majority stake in fellow qualifiers Lyon, did hold 'control or decisive influence' at Selhurst Park, despite the fact he only possessed 25 per cent of voting rights. Because the French side finished in a higher position in their domestic league they took the slot, with Nottingham Forest subsequently leapfrogging Palace. Palace will appear at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, in Lausanne, Switzerland, but Textor, who was a key witness at the UEFA hearing and who has subsequently sold his stake in the club, will not be there. Palace want their demotion overturned and for either Lyon or Forest to be demoted. Forest are sending their own legal team. Those who attend have the option to evade publicity by entering via a side exit. It is understood Palace, who believe they have done nothing wrong, will shun such a manoeuvre and enter via the main entrance.
