Wildcard Nick Kyrgios brushed aside the challenge of seeded Italian Fabio Fognini to cruise into the last 16 of the Miami Open with a 6-2, 6-4 victory completed in just 61 minutes.The veteran world No 34 was out of sorts in the opening set, struggling with his movement and Kyrgios took full advantage taking the set in 28 minutes, breaking in the opening game and again in the seventh.However, Fognini rallied in the second set despite appearing uncomfortable between points, but perfectly fit during play. The Australian, eight years younger at 26, but ranked 102nd, was frustrated at this inconsistency…

Beau will be here shortly. In the meantime, here’s a quick preview of today’s game courtesy of our friends at the Associated Press: With two games left in World Cup qualifying, the United States head into a showdown against Panama in Orlando knowing that winning the last home match will be key before going on the road for the finale. Sound familiar? The US romped over the Panamanians 4-0 in October 2017 as Christian Pulisic scored the first goal and set up the second. Needing only a draw four days later, the Americans flopped to a 2-1 defeat at Trinidad…

XR says “the times and locations are secret”, but this morning they are targeting the Exxon Mobil depot in Yarraville.

The US was poised to set the Taliban on the path to diplomatic recognition before the plan was derailed by the Afghan rulers’ sudden U-turn on a promise to allow girls’ education, the Guardian understands.The group prompted international outrage and confusion on Wednesday when it reneged on a deal to allow teenage girls to go to secondary school, just a week after the education ministry announced that schools would open for all students.US diplomats had been so optimistic that the Taliban would make good on the promise that a joint event had been planned ahead of this weekend’s Doha Forum…
Cameron Norrie overcame a late wobble to defeat Hugo Gaston and move into the fourth round of the Miami Open. Andy Murray, Dan Evans and Heather Watson all fell on Saturday to leave Norrie as the only British singles representative, but that is a position to which the 26-year-old is becoming accustomed.He is on course to break into the top 10 for the first time next week and was ultimately too strong for talented Frenchman Gaston, winning 6-3, 7-5. Norrie looked set to claim victory more comfortably, recovering from dropping serve in the opening game of the match to move…
