Liam Farrell leads from front as Wigan crush Catalans to secure League Leaders’ Shield

Quick Summary

Wigan 50-12 Catalans Captain scores one try and sets up another Perhaps the biggest compliment you could pay this Wigan side is that they managed to make a night billed “Frantic Friday” by the broadcasters feel as tense as a pre-season friendly. The drama was, in the end, nowhere to be seen in front of almost 20,000 Wigan supporters. Incredibly, this was not even a flawless display from the home side despite the fact they scored 50 points to saunter their way towards leg two of what appears increasingly likely to be a domestic treble.

Alexander Zverev claims first US Open after four-set battle with Ben Shelton

No 1 seed wins 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2 American’s hopes dashed in tense final For a passing moment at the end of a rugged third set, hope sprung anew for Ben Shelton. He had been outserved and outplayed for nearly three hours, but at 6-5 in the third set, one game from defeat, the American finally broke through. He burst into the return game finally pounding his forehand freely and he willed himself into an unexpected fourth set. After he had finished pumping his fist, cupping his ear to the crowd and admirably trying to initiate a drastic momentum shift, the next sequence was most revealing. Shelton opened the fourth set with a shaky game, immediately losing his serve at the start of the set.
