Aryna Sabalenka vs Zheng Qinwen live: French Open latest score and updates before Swiatek in action
The French Open quarter-finals get underway with a blockbuster day of action at Roland Garros.
World No 1 Aryna Sabalenka opens proceedings in a highly intriguing battle of big-hitters against Zheng Qinwen, who triumphed on the Paris clay last summer to secure Olympic gold but is still chasing her maiden grand slam title. Victory over the top seed, who has looked in ominous touch so far, would be a real statement. The pair's last-eight encounter will be followed by Iga Swiatek 's return to action as the Pole chases a fourth successive title here - Elina Svitolina is her opponent after Swiatek overcame an Elena Rybakina blitz in the fourth round.
Later, it will be the turn of the men on Court Philippe-Chatrier, with Lorenzo Musetti and Frances Tiafoe in a tasty tussle and Carlos Alcaraz headlining the night session looking to avoid the dangers posed by Tommy Paul as he continues his title defence.

Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Gunners release SEVENTEEN players, Sane talks, Sesko bid imminent, Zubimendi ‘move in doubt'
ARSENAL are looking ahead to a busy summer transfer window after another trophyless season. The Gunners have opened talks with the camp of Leroy Sane over a potential switch, with the German winger available on a free transfer this summer. Elsewhere, Arteta and Co are closing in on a new striker, with a big for main target Benjamin Sesko 'imminent,' according to reports. In other news, Arsenal 's move for Martin Zubimendi is said to be in doubt. 21st Apr 2025, 08:00 By Aiya Zhussupova A well-earned rest Arsenal will have a six-day break before their Champions League semi-final first leg against Paris Saint-Germain – thanks to Crystal Palace. The Eagles were due to face Arsenal next Saturday on April 26, but the south east Londoners instead have an FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa. Instead, Arsenal will welcome Palace to the Emirates on Wednesday April 23 before hosting PSG on Tuesday April 29. An extra few days of rest and recovery at London Colney will be a blessing for Arteta, and may just give Arsenal the edge. 21st Apr 2025, 06:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Partey's departure Arteta has hinted he would like midfielder Thomas Partey to be handed a new deal. Partey, 31, is out of contract this summer but is having his best season since joining the club five years ago. Arteta said that progress is being made with a number of players and his intent with Partey is clear — though the decision will sit with Berta. The Spaniard said: 'Yes, there is progress with all the players. I'll leave that to Andrea and the club to decide and to talk about. "The intention is very clear. I'll leave that to Andrea and the club to take a step forward." Partey's form this season has been largely down to his availability, having desperately struggled with injuries across his time in north London. Arsenal will consider his age and fitness record before making a final decision on a new deal. 21st Apr 2025, 02:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Gunners to cash in on midfielder Arsenal are reportedly looking to sell Fabio Vieira in the summer. The midfielder is currently on loan with Portuguese giants FC Porto having been deemed surplus to requirements by manager Mikel Arteta. And according to A Bola, the Gunners aren't keen on sending the 24-year-old back out on loan next summer. It's claimed the Gunners brass want to recoup the £30million they spent on Vieira in the summer of 2022. 20th Apr 2025, 00:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Crown Jule Jules Kounde has reportedly emerged as a summer target for Arsenal. The Barcelona and France star has impressed at right-back for the La Liga giants this campaign. And according to Fichajes, Arsenal are ready to fork out £65million to acquire his services. 20th Apr 2025, 22:00 By Gyokeres warning Reported Arsenal target Viktor Gyokeres could struggle in the Premier League, according to former Gunner William Gallas. The Frenchman said: "It could be completely different for him in the Premier League, it will be a big change. "Can Gyokeres adapt to the Premier League? That is the question. He is 26 years old, I don't know if he can be one of the best strikers in Europe. If he comes to Arsenal, it will be another level of pressure for him. "It happens a lot when a player is doing really well at a smaller club, then they crumble at a bigger club. "Gyokeres will have a level of responsibility he has never had in his career if he were to join Arsenal." 20th Apr 2025, 21:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Saliba exit claim Arsenal are reportedly willing to let William Saliba join Real Madrid and the two clubs reached an 'agreement'. According to reports, Arsenal made a 'verbal commitment' to notify the Santiago Bernabéu stadium first if they decide to put the French player for sale. Los Blancos are understood to be admirers of the France international and willing to test the Gunners' resolve to retain his services this summer. And according to sensational reports, the north Londoners would be open to letting Saliba leave if they received two stars in return. The two stars, according to Dafensa Central, are starlets Arda Guler and Endrick. 20th Apr 2025, 20:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Kiwior dilemma Jakub Kiwior has been linked with moves away. AC Milan and Napoli have taken an interest with Kiwior said to be keen on a return to Italy for regular first-team action as he looks to keep his starting spot for Poland. Arteta seemingly saw him as one to let go to raise transfer funds. But his performances against Madrid may leave Arteta with a dilemma. His calmness of approach to keep the likes of Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe quiet was just as eye-catching as Declan Rice's thunderbolt free-kicks and Bukayo Saka's return from injury. Arteta may still deem the 25-year-old surplus to requirements, in which case they could make a decent profit on a player who has certainly raised his game in recent weeks. 20th Apr 2025, 19:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Gunners buzzing for Collins Brentford's Nathan Collins is reportedly on Arsenal's summer wishlist. The Bees defender has enjoyed a strong season in the Prem and leads the league in blocks. Bleacher Report claim Arenal have been "hugely impressed" by the centre-back. 20th Apr 2025, 18:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Gor blimey Anthony Gordon has emerged as a shock summer target for Arsenal. But Newcastle have indicated they will only let the winger go for "big, big money." According to Football Insider, Toon bosses are desperate to keep Gordon and will only let him leave for a huge fee. 20th Apr 2025, 17:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Sesko price rockets RB Leipzig have reportedly slapped a new price tag on Benjamin Sesko - as interest hots up on the Slovenian. The striker is on the radar of several clubs, including Arsenal and Manchester United. But both sides will have to pay a premium to secure the striker's services. According to Bild, Leipzig have slapped a hefty £86million price tag on the 21-year-old's head. 20th Apr 2025, 16:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Kingsley Coman approach Bayern Munich are ready to listen to offers for Kingsley Coman ahead of the summer transfer window. Coman has been in and out of Vincent Kompany's Bayern team this season. Arsenal are said to already held talks with the winger, according to reports in Germany. The France international could be tempted to take a cut on his £275,000-a-week wages if he moves to the Premier League. 20th Apr 2025, 15:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Andrea Berta 'closing in' on first signing Arsenal are confident of snapping up Martin Zubimendi in the next few months. That's according to talkSPORT, who claim the north Londoners are increasingly confident of signing the Real Sociedad and Spain midfielder in early June. Should they snap up Zubimendi, the Euro 2024 winner will be Andrea Berta's first signing since replacing Edu as the Gunners' sporting director. But Berta could be dealt a major blow as Spanish outlets report that Zubimendi wants to sign with Real Madrid. According to Fichajes, the La Liga giants promised Zubimendi a prominent role in their "sports plan" 20th Apr 2025, 14:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Arteta's hopes crushed Arsenal's hopes of signing Nico Williams have been dealt a major blow.

Little by little." 20th Apr 2025, 13:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Nico's wage Spanish sources have told the SunSport that Nico Williams could demand an eye-watering wage of around £250k-a-week. That would put the Spaniard up there with Arsenal's highest earners if the Gunners secure the deal to sign with the winger. And remember, their financial report of 2023/24 showed that they have already increased their wage payments by nearly £100m from £234.8m to £327.8m. It will be an expensive season for Arsenal as they plan a "big" summer spending spree. 20th Apr 2025, 12:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Nic of time Barcelona are reportedly dropping their interest in Nico Williams. According to Marca, the Catalans are no longer interested in signing the Athletic Bilbao forward. Arsenal have made the Spanish winger one of their No1 targets for the summer. Andrea Berta reportedly already met with the winger's representatives to discuss the deal. However, the Gunners are still facing competition from Chelsea and Bayern Munich who are also interested. 20th Apr 2025, 11:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Gyokeres' response to Arsenal transfer links Viktor Gyokeres brushed away a cheeky question about a potential move to Arsenal this summer amid swirling rumours over his future. The Sporting Lisbon striker has been linked with a switch to the Gunners as well as a host of other top clubs given his flying form in Portugal. Gyokeres, 26, is one of the most in-demand strikers in the world after already scoring 47 goals in 46 appearances across all competitions this season. But when probed by Portuguese media on a switch to the Emirates, Gyokeres remained tight-lipped on his future. Asked if he liked London, he simply replied: "I like Lisbon". 20th Apr 2025, 10:00 By Nyle Smith Current Premier League table Arsenal will be hoping to close the gap on Liverpool down to 10 points but they'll be more importantly hoping to stretch the gap between themselves and the teams below. While relegation-fighting Ipswich are trying to close the gap on 17th-place Wolves. 20th Apr 2025, 09:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Arsenal vs Ipswich After their Madrid heroics in midweek, Arsenal's attention returns to Premier League duty with a trip to Ipswich today.

The Gunners' title bid could be over if they lose to Ipswich today — four days after reaching the Champions League semi-final with a stunning win over Real Madrid. He said: "Squad quality and availability — without those, we cannot compete in four competitions. "At this level, especially in this country, it is impossible. The higher the quality, the higher the availability, the more chances you have. "After you have to do it. But the probability goes high. "I hope that Andrea has many more ideas, plans, surprises, positive ones. "And his experience, his creativity, his intuition as well to help us make the right calls." 20th Apr 2025, 05:45 By Aiya Zhussupova Gyökeres's fee Arsenal are eyeing up a move for the prolific Swede who has hit a fifth hat-trick of the season in a 3-1 victory over Moreirense.

The best luxury resortwear for women
It seems 2025 is the year of the resortwear renaissance. Perhaps it's down to the HBO hit The White Lotus or simply a desire for some escapism, but holiday clothes feel far more luxe and grown-up than ever right now. Instead of being overtly beachy with loud botanical prints and gaudy Hawaiian shirts, this new age of resortwear is relaxed, refined, and far easier to incorporate into summery situations — from fancy beach clubs to private airport lounges. From Missoni's stylish stripes to Camilla's bejewelled beach cover-ups and Loewe's playful accessories, here are the luxury labels providing the ritziest resortwear for women this summer. • This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue With its nuanced colour palette and simple silhouettes, the contemporary resortwear brand Eleventy was made for those who probably vowed they would never wear traditional beachwear. In the place of the usual tropical prints and brash colours, there are breezy open-knit sweaters to throw over bikinis, matching linen sets for beach-club lunches and a collection of tailored dresses to complete your holiday wardrobe. While elegance is usually associated with classic staples and refined womenswear, when Emilio Pucci founded his namesake brand in 1947 he was on a mission to bring a new meaning to the word — to prove that elegance could be fast, joyful, spontaneous and effortless. His unique sense of colour, geometric prints and comfortable silk-jersey designs were made for those with a jet-set lifestyle and worn by the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy. Founded by Lesleigh Jermanus, a former designer for Zimmermann, the Australian brand Alémais has grown a reputation since 2020 for its vibrant and original prints that are often created in collaboration with independent artists. You'll find whimsical prints and ruffled silhouettes among its collection of romantic shirtdresses and matching twin sets, as well as hero slip styles that'll see you through every summery scenario. For the past seven years Loewe has partnered with the legendary Ibiza boutique Paula's to create a resortwear collection full of memorable, playful accessories as well as staple holiday pieces. Inspired by bestselling silhouettes from the luxury Spanish house, an archive full of exuberant prints and the sunny island in the 1970s, there are raffia bags, modern takes on traditional espadrilles and effortlessly cool bohemian skirts on offer. In 1953, the now-iconic Italian label Missoni started out producing knitted tracksuits and pioneered the use of the Raschel knitting machine and new ways of incorporating both colour and texture in performance wear. Seventy years later and its iconic zigzag pattern designs, innovative knitted sets and unique colour combinations are much more likely to be spotted in holiday destinations than on the track. They have extended to cover crochet swimwear, floor-sweeping kaftans and throw-on-and-go rompers. This year the Australian luxury brand Camilla partnered with the Sydney-based artist Lezio Lopes — who was behind the opening credit sequence for the first and second seasons of The White Lotus — to create a collection of lavish resortwear inspired by the three worlds of the award-winning series. Tropical blossoms, opulent architecture and animal life of Hawaii, Italy and Thailand were hidden within each limited edition print in ode to the complex, intriguing and enigmatic residents of the White Lotus. Aside from this partnership, all Camilla's collections feature hand-drawn prints, painted by in-house artists. Pieces are cut, sewn and embellished by hand too. The Brazilian fashion brand PatBo started as a label exclusively offering couture evening wear to the Sao Paulo elite, creating one-of-a-kind gowns for clients and sewing everything by hand. In 2002, the founder Patricia Bonaldi brought her passion for bold, feminine designs and intricate hand embroidery to the swimwear scene with high-waisted bikinis and Eighties-inspired high-leg on pieces. Since then she has branched out to an accompanying resortwear line — from feminine ruffled blouses to skimpy cut-out dresses. What started as a swimwear line has evolved into a full lifestyle brand, and now the Colombian fashion designer Johanna Ortiz offers ready-to-wear, swim, accessories and even a home collection. Inspired by nature, pieces use tropical prints in inoffensive, calming colour palettes such as beige and burgundy or khaki and cream. Loyal customers include Princess Caroline of Monaco, Beyoncé, Michelle Obama and Amal Clooney.
