World number one Novak Djokovic's US Open title defence is over

World number one Novak Djokovic's US Open title defence is over

2 September 2019

He's retired with a shoulder injury trailing Stan Wawrinka two sets to love in their fourth round match in New York.

Lydia Ko thinks she has turned the corner with her golf game.

The former world number one has finished tied for 15th at the latest LPGA Tour event in Portland, on the back of a five under opening round and a four under closing round today.

Ko who will now take a three week break says her form is encouraging.

Scott Dixon concedes he won't be winning a sixth Indycar series championship this season.

The kiwi driver's battery failure in the penultimate race of the season leaves him in fourth, 85 points off leader Josef Newgarden.
