Sonay Kartal bows out of singles as Brits fall on day three at Queen's
Sonay Kartal bows out of singles as Brits fall on day three at Queen's British hopes were dashed on day three at Queen's as Sonay Kartal was left to rue her loss against an 'unplayable' Amanda Anisimova. Kartal fell 6-1 6-3 to the American ace in the second round of the HSBC Championships, unable to take command in the Andy Murray Arena. Advertisement Earlier in the day, the doubles partnership of Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter came to an end in straight sets as Olivia Nicholls and her doubles teammate Tereza Mihalikova also missed out on progressing. In Britain's only singles match of the day, Kartal was given the runaround in West Kensington, seemingly reluctant to be aggressive on the return early on and quickly losing four games on the trot. She was finally rewarded as Anisimova made a series of mistakes to allow a break in the first game of the second set, but the American and immediately rectified her mistakes and broke back. Kartal returned for another break later on but the Brit was unable to get the better of her opponent on the day and missed out on progressing to the quarter-finals, bowing out of the tournament. Advertisement "[Anisimova] has kind of a one-game style, and that's to hit the ball pretty flat and into the corners," she said. "I think when she has a day like today, she's unplayable. "I can't get too hung up on it. I didn't do too much wrong, to be honest. She just played an incredible match. "With her game style, she hits a big ball. She can rush me, give me not a lot of time on the ball. It's harder to kind of play my game style when she's just going one corner to the next." As quickly as they rose, the fresh faced 'Boultercanu' partnership came crashing down in straight sets as Boulter and Raducanu bowed out of the doubles competition in the second round. Advertisement The duo were unable to replicate a second win on the grass as they lost 6-2 7-5 to Lyudmyla Kichenok and Erin Routliffe. The Ukrainian and Kiwi beat Sonay Kartal and Jodie Burrage in straight sets in their first round match and swept aside a second British pair to book their spot in the quarterfinals. After an error-strewn first set, Boulter and Raducanu were able to produce a rallying second set performance to roar back into contention, saving three set points to almost force a decider. It was a reply the duo were proud of, with smiles still strewn on their faces, in a partnership that they have previously stated is built on building into the Billie Jean King Cup later this summer. Advertisement "We are both playing Billie Jean King Cup, and we want to put ourselves in the best position possible," said Raducanu, following their opening match at Queen's. Nicholls fell to a hard-fought straight sets defeat on her doubles debut at Queen's. The 30-year-old and her doubles partner Mihalikova of Slovakia fell 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-5) to Ellen Perez and Shuai Zhang in the first round of the Championships after reaching the third round at Roland-Garros less than two weeks ago. A loss for Nicholls ensured that there are no more British players in the women's doubles draw at Queen's. Advertisement British singles hopes now rest on Boulter, Raducanu and Heather Watson who all play their second-round draws tomorrow. World no.10 Emma Navarro roared back from match point down to soar into the quarter-finals during a gruelling three setter. The American beat Brazil's Beatriz Haddad Maia 1-6 7-6 6-3 in two hours and 47 minutes at the Andy Murray Arena. Haddad Maia laid down a convincing first set to soar ahead against a stumbling Navarro who lost four games in a row. With how easily the Brazilian breezed through the opening set, it was almost unexpected to still be going after two hours of play, but Navarro refused to let up late on and forced a tie-break and then a decider to clinch the win. Advertisement Elsewhere, second seed Madison Keys produced a clinical performance to win her opening match 6-3 6-2 as sixth seed Karolina Muchova was dumped out of the draw by qualifier Tatjana Maria in a hard-fought 6-7 7-5 6-1 victory to the German.

Thomas Tuchel admits that some can find England star Jude Bellingham ‘a bit repulsive' – including the manager's mother
England soccer star Jude Bellingham has a 'hunger' and 'rage' that can come across as 'a bit repulsive,' manager Thomas Tuchel said in a new interview with British outlet TalkSport. Bellingham, a key player for his national team and Real Madrid, has rarely been afraid to hide his emotions on the pitch. That much was evident in England's 3-1 loss against Senegal on Tuesday as he remonstrated with a fourth official and kicked a cooler box in frustration. But Tuchel, who suffered his first loss as Three Lions boss with the defeat against Senegal, said that the midfielder 'brings an edge which we welcome' – even if some fans see it differently. 'He has the fire and I don't want to dim this down,' Tuchel told the British outlet. 'He should play with this kind of fire. That's his strength. But the fire comes also with some attributes that can intimidate you, maybe even as a teammate. 'You see sometimes the explosion towards referees and the anger in his game. So if he can channel this in the right way and we can help him in this, then for sure he has the something that we need, and he has a certain edge that is hard to find.' Tuchel added: 'I see this with my parents, with my mom, that she sometimes cannot see the nice and well-educated and well-behaved guy that I see. 'If he smiles, he wins everyone. But sometimes you see the rage, you see the hunger and the rage and the fire and it comes out in a way that can be a bit repulsive – for example, for my mother, when she sits in front of the TV. I see that. But in general, we are very happy to have him. He's a special boy.' Still only 21, Bellingham has already made 44 appearances for England, scoring six goals and playing a crucial role in the team's run to the final of last year's European Championships. He won La Liga, Champions League and Spanish Super Cup titles in his first season in Spain with Los Blancos but was more subdued in the last campaign, scoring 14 goals compared to 23 the previous year. Tuchel admitted that he has been undecided about where to play Bellingham in his England team, particularly after seeing his goalscoring form for Real Madrid. 'I see (in him) what I normally see only in strikers,' said Tuchel. 'I think now, at the moment, he's more an eight or 10 than a six or eight. Maybe a 10.' Though only a friendly, England's defeat against Senegal was the team's first ever loss against an African nation. It followed a lackluster 1-0 victory against Andorra on Saturday, but the Three Lions remain top of their World Cup qualifying group with three wins from three.
