    Tournament director Karl Budge will announce the direct acceptances for the January tournament.

    The players who created the biggest headlines this year - Bianca Andreescu and Coco Gauff - have been confirmed, along with Serena Williams, French Open semi-finalist Amanda Anisimova and two-time defending champion Julia Goerges .

    The signs are positive 17-year-old skier Alice Robinson could make a shock return to the giant slalom World Cup circuit in Vermont this weekend.

    Russian sports officials have spoken out against the World Anti-Doping Agency committee's recommendations that the country be banned from the Olympics for four years due to a systemic drug-taking programme.

    The agency's executive committee will make a decision at meetings in Paris on December 9.



    Neil Wagner has moved to third in the test cricket bowling rankings after his match-winning five-wicket haul in the first test against England.

    A win on the final race of day two has pushed Alex Maloney and Molly Meech into third in the 49erFX class at the Oceania sailing championships in Auckland.

    Isaac McHardie and William McKenzie are fourth in the 49er, with Peter Burling and Blair Tuke a spot back in fifth.

    In the Nacra 17, Gemma Jones and Josh Porebski sit eighth, while Olivia Mackay and Jason Saunders are 12th.



    England's Ben Te'o will feature for the Sunwolves in their final Super Rugby season after the 32-year-old midfielder was left out of the England squad for the World Cup.
