    38-year-old Gael Monfils has become the oldest man since the professional tennis era began in 1969 to reach the last four in Auckland's showpiece tournament

    38-year-old Gael Monfils has become the oldest man since the professional tennis era began in 1969 to reach the last four in Auckland's showpiece tournament


    He will face an opponent half his age in 19-year-old qualifier Nishesh Basavareddy .

    Nuno Borges faces Zizou Bergs in the other semi-final - play starts at 1pm.



    David Nyika is bruised but not broken after getting knocked out in the fourth round of his maiden world title fight against cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia .

    He's been cleared of serious injury, despite a considerable spell lying motionless on the canvas.



    The Wellington Phoenix women have beaten Western Sydney Wanderers 3-nil in football's A-League.

    The victory takes them to fourth with 16 points, six shy of leaders Melbourne City.

    Alyssa Whinham, Alivia Kelly and Emma Main scored the goals.



    The Premier League management revolving door is in full swing.

    West Ham have hired Graham Potter as manager on a two-and-a-half-year contract, a day after the 14th ranked club sacked Julen Lopetegui .

    Potter has been out of management since a seven-month tenure with Chelsea in 2023.

    16th ranked Everton have followed suit, axing Sean Dyche hours before their third round FA Cup home tie against Peterborough - his backroom staff have joined him.



    The Warriors are open to keeping former captain Tohu Harris on at the club in a coaching or advisory role, if he wishes.

    He's retired less than two months from the start of the NRL season due to a lingering wrist injury.
