Iga Swiatek and Alexander Zverev advance in rain-hit Cincinnati Open
Third seed Iga Swiatek reached the Cincinnati quarter-finals with a straight sets win over Sorana Cirstea, while Alexander Zverev needed just one game to complete victory over Brandon Nakashima before rain halted play again. Wimbledon champion Swiatek extended her perfect record against Cirstea to 5-0 and will next face the winner of an all-Russian clash between Anna Kalinskaya and Ekaterina Alexandrova. "We played many tough matches, so I know Sorana can really hit the ball well, especially on faster surfaces," Poland's Swiatek said. "I'm happy I was solid enough. I was trying to be proactive with my serve, not many of my first serves went in, but I was happy I was solid on my second serves." Fellow Pole Magda Linette upset fourth seed Jessica Pegula 7-6(5) 3-6 6-3 in a third-round match that extended over two days after Tuesday's suspension due to rain. The American had levelled the match at a set apiece, but on Wednesday's resumption Linette earned the break before closing it out on serve for her second Top-10 win of the season. In the men's draw, Zverev completed a 6-4 6-4 win over Nakashima after the match was suspended overnight when he was leading 5-4 in the second set. The German third seed is set to return to the court later on Wednesday, aiming to avenge last week's Toronto semi-final loss to Russian Karen Khachanov.

Manchester United under-21 match abandoned after injury to Sékou Koné
Manchester United Under-21s' National League Cup tie at Tamworth was abandoned because of an injury to the midfielder Sékou Koné. The Group A game at the Lamb Ground on Wednesday night was suspended after Koné went down as a result of a clash of heads as he helped to defend a corner. Koné was treated on the pitch for around 15 minutes and after the half-time whistle had been blown, the 19-year-old Mali youth international was carried off on a stretcher with a mask placed on his face. It was later announced that the game had been abandoned with the score at 0-0. Manchester Evening News reported that a replacement ambulance was needed and the delay forced the fixture to be called off. United issued an update on Koné's condition, saying in a statement: 'We can confirm Sékou is conscious, stable and communicating with United's medical team. He has been taken to hospital, as a precaution, for further checks.' A statement on Tamworth's official X account said: 'Due to the medical situation, we are forced to abandon tonight's fixture, details will be revealed in due course. 'We would like to wish safe travels to all the Man United fans, staff and players. We especially wish Sékou Koné a speedy recovery.'

Chelsea legend John Terry gives up dream of becoming a manager and is ‘baffled' at some people getting top jobs
CHELSEA icon John Terry has given up pursuing a career as a manager. The former Blues captain, 44, last worked full-time in a coaching capacity with Dean Smith for a short spell in the Leicester dugout two years ago. 4 Terry had been Smith's assistant at Aston Villa, where he helped them win promotion via the play-offs to the Premier League in 2019. The ex-England skipper has since been interviewed by Newcastle and some League One clubs. But the process puts him off, and he is 'baffled' when he sees some coaches who do land work. He told SunSport: 'I'm done in terms of coaching. I'm enjoying my life, I'm working in the Chelsea academy. 'My role's a part-time role, I love working with the kids, I love passing on my knowledge and experience to those boys.' Terry — who won five Prem titles in his playing days at Chelsea, as well as five FA Cups, three League Cups, a Champions League and a Europa League — added: 'I don't really coach at the moment, I'm a mentor, ambassador. 'I went for a couple of jobs and those days are gone for me. I'm enjoying my life a little bit, I've got my time to myself, I play a bit of golf, I'm in the academy and I have some family time as well. 'It's a really good balance for me.' 4 Terry finished his playing career with Villa in 2018 and focus quickly switched to becoming a coach. Despite being content with his role at Chelsea, Terry says there is still frustration that he did not get a chance to be a manager anywhere. Fans spot Liam Delap's reaction on bench after Joao Pedro goal as Chelsea fans say 'this guy can't catch a break' He said: 'I absolutely wanted it. When I went into Villa I got great experience under Dean Smith and we got promotion, which was incredible. 'As an assistant coach in the Premier League and the experience I've had as a player and an individual captain in both Chelsea and England, I thought that would be enough to get me a job. 'I'm not saying a job in the Premier League or the Championship — but a job at League One level. 'I didn't even get a sniff. I had interviews and it was just 'you have no experience'. 'When I see some people managing today, it baffles me, it really does. 'In terms of 'am I frustrated', yes, absolutely because I have a lot of good attributes to be a really good coach or a really good manager but, unfortunately, that's not happened.'
