Medvedev beats Zverev again to reach Halle final

Germany's Alexander Zverev reacts during his Men's singles semi-final tennis match against Russia's Daniil Medvedev during the Terra Wortmann Open. David Inderlied/dpa Daniil Medvedev continued his impressive record against Alexander Zverev on Saturday to deny the German on home grass and reach the Halle final. The third seed prevailed 7-6 (7-3), 6-7 (1-7), 6-4 over the second seed in the semi-final of the Wimbledon warm-up in the west of Germany.

The Russian, who now bosses the head-to-heads over the German 13-7, went 2-0 up in the second set but saw the home favourite hit back. Medvedev steadied himself but Zverev, who had been sick again in his quarter-final, then dominated the second set tie-break. The 29-year-old Medvedev then broke for 2-1 in the decider and wrapped up a meeting with Alexander Bublik or Karen Khachanov in Sunday's showpiece. Zverev has again flattered to deceive this year with Munich his only tournament victory. He lost the Australian Open final to Jannik Sinner and went out in the last eight at the French Open.

"This is going to be absolutely fantastic, I'm sure of it," the German said in an interview with RTL/ntv on Saturday. Advertisement The English champions already had "a fantastic team" last season under his successor Arne Slot, Klopp said. "It's very hard to strengthen a team when you're champions. But Liverpool have managed it. They've signed an exceptional talent in Florian Wirtz. I'm looking forward to seeing it. It's going to be great." Liverpool have signed the 22-year-old from Bundesliga runners-up Bayer Leverkusen, reportedly paying up to €150 million ($173 million) including bonus payments.

Feyi-Waboso sees red before France XV stun England XV at the last

In the end, they could not even come away with the win. On a thoroughly muted afternoon in a stadium barely a third full, an England XV contrived to lose to a France XV even further from full strength than their hosts. Romain Taofifénua crashed over from close range to clinch the match with an equally uninspiring try. Worse, England will lose the services of a player only just making his comeback from a long absence. Immanuel Feyi-Waboso's wild tackle on Antoine Hastoy in the first half earned him a 20-minute red card and with it a likely ban. England's wing had not been ruled out of contention for the Lions' trip to Australia, but now even a place on England's three-match tour of Argentina and US must be in doubt. Advertisement Related: Ian McLauchlan, Scotland and British & Irish Lions great, dies at 83 On an unfortunate day for officialdom, France also played 20 minutes reduced to 14, when Cameron Woki was punished for his clear-out on Jamie George midway through the second. Both sides upped their game, scoring a try apiece while at a disadvantage. Their opponents seemed to go flat in response. By the time Taofifénua scored his try, after some uncomplicated French battering off a penalty kicked to the corner, in the third minute after the clock turned red, France were back to a full complement. They started and finished the contest in the ascendant. Early tries by Nolann le Garrec and Gaëtan Barlot, earned them a 12-0 lead, but England responded with 24 unanswered points, through tries by Tom Willis, Alex Coles, Joe Carpenter and Alex Dombrandt. England seemed to be cruising on the hour, but France cranked up their big guns. Paul Mallez scored with five minutes remaining in much the same fashion as Taofifénua would – from close range. And so Steve Borthwick had some thinking to do.
