David Goffin into Wimbledon last eight for first time

BELGIAN David Goffin matched his best-ever performance at the tennis majors on Monday (8) by reaching his first Wimbledon quarter-final.

The Belgian 21st seed beat Spain's Fernando Verdasco 7-6 (11/9), 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 in their fourth round clash on Court Three.


He will face either world number one Novak Djokovic or Frenchman Ugo Humbert in Wednesday's (10) quarter-finals.

In getting to the last eight of a Grand Slam for the third time, Goffin became the fifth Belgian man in history to reach the quarter-finals at Wimbledon - and, along with Xavier Malisse in 2002, the only one to do so since 1924.

Oval Invincibles renamed MI London after Reliance deal

OVAL INVINCIBLES, the most successful team in The Hundred, will be renamed MI London after Surrey County Cricket Club announced a partnership with India's Reliance, with the two parties taking 51 per cent and 49 per cent stakes in the franchise.

The rebranded name is a reference to Mumbai Indians, the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise owned by Reliance. The Indian conglomerate also owns other franchises around the world with similar names, including MI New York and MI Cape Town.
