    Elena Rybakina crashes out of French Open while Fran Jones fightback falls short

    World No 2 is stunned by Ukraine’s Yuliia Starodubtseva Britain’s Jones lost 6-0, 7-6 (3) to 27th seed Bouzkova Even by Fran Jones’s high standards – she describes herself as a “mentality monster”, rightly so given all the trials she has overcome – her chances of any sort of recovery seemed painfully remote. She had lost 10 of her first 11 games to find herself trailing 0-6, 1-4 while being outplayed by a more experienced, better-prepared opponent. During the hottest part of another searing day in Paris which also saw the No 2 seed Elena Rybakina dumped out, it seemed she was cooked. Still, Jones kept on grinding and again showed off her combativeness by nearly turning the match around. The British No 4 eventually bowed out with a 6-0, 7-6 (3) defeat against the 27th seed, the Czech Marie Bouzkova, ending a memorable first main-draw appearance at Roland Garros in the second round.

    Crystal Palace win Conference League after Mateta strike sinks Rayo Vallecano

    After being denied their rightful place in this season’s Europa League, Crystal Palace finally have their revenge. In Oliver Glasner’s final match in charge, it was fitting that Jean-Philippe Mateta should score what turned out to be the winning goal after his January move to Milan was scuppered by a failed medical. It has been that kind of season. Having rescued the south London club from the brink of extinction only 16 years ago, how Steve Parish must have relished this occasion. The Palace chair found himself sitting next to the Uefa president, Aleksander Ceferin, for the biggest night in their history and he can now start planning for the Europa League campaign that was denied to them as last year’s FA Cup winners were adjudged to have broken European football’s governing body’s rules on multi-club ownership. As for Glasner, who performed a full-length dive on the pitch before going up to collect his winners’ medal, it ends any debate over whether he is the greatest manager in Palace’s history.
