Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Sports Newspapers:
- Bayern Munich have signed winger Michael Olise from Crystal Palace for about 60m euros (£50m). The 22-year-old English-born France Under-21 forward made 90 appearances in all competitions over three seasons with Palace.
- Coco Gauff became the latest high-profile seed to suffer a shock exit in the women’s singles at Wimbledon as she lost to fellow American Emma Navarro. Second seed Gauff was the highest-ranked player remaining, following Iga Swiatek’s surprise defeat by Yulia Putintseva on Saturday. But the 20-year-old followed the world number one out of the door at SW19 after falling to a 6-4 6-3 defeat by 19th seed Navarro.
- Lewis Hamilton finally had his moment of redemption at the British Grand Prix and returned to the top step of a Formula 1 podium – two years, seven months and two days since he last stood there. He broke the record for wins at a single track, and did it in front of his home crowd and his family.
- Novak Djokovic says he expects “fireworks on court” when he takes on Holger Rune for a place in the Wimbledon quarter-finals on Monday. The 24-time Grand Slam champion is 16 years Rune’s senior but doesn’t underestimate the challenge the Dane will pose when they close proceedings on Centre Court.
- Laura Muir set a new British 1500m mark as rival Faith Kipyegon smashed the world record at the Paris Diamond League, while Yaroslava Mahuchikh broke a 37-year mark in the women’s high jump. Muir ran three minutes 53.79 seconds for third place to improve the national record she set in winning Olympic silver in Tokyo three years ago.
