Coco Gauff saved two match points as she fought from a set down to beat Mirra Andreeva and set up a US Open semi-final against incoming world number one Elena Rybakina.Blown away in a 26-minute opening set, fourth seed Gauff was twice pegged back from a break up in a scrappy second set before coming through a 16-point tie-break to force a decider.Roared on by a partisan crowd, the American’s resilience proved the difference in what became a mental battle as she closed out a 2-6 7-6 (9-7) 6-2 win – a performance she said was inspired by compatriot Frances…

A private hospital’s failure to provide preventative medication contributed to the death of Lady Joan Branson, an inquest has concluded.The 80-year-old, who was married to Sir Richard Branson, died on 24 November last year after suffering a cardiac arrest at the private Lister Hospital in Chelsea, west London.Senior coroner Professor Fiona Wilcox told Westminster Coroner’s Court on Wednesday that Lady Joan did not receive prophylactic anticoagulants at the hospital despite a “very high risk of developing deep vein thrombosis”.”I do find her death would have likely been prevented and the lack of anticoagulation did cause or contribute to her death…
For the Premier League’s biggest clubs, this competition is usually an opportunity to blood youngsters and give fringe players valuable minutes.However, only 35-year-old Danny Welbeck, who scored twice, emerged from the starters with a compelling case for more regular involvement.Even Valentin Barco, despite scoring Chelsea’s fifth goal, was partly at fault for Leeds’ second and was among several players who repeatedly surrendered possession during a difficult first half.Young attackers Estevao Willian and Jamie Gittens suffered the disappointment of being substituted at half-time, while £40m signing Geovany Quenda, who joined from Sporting, did not add to his solitary substitute appearance for…
