US Open tennis finals, the Manchester derby and Solheim Cup – follow with us

The Guardian · 1 hour ago

This Guardian live blog rounds up a busy day of sport on Saturday, spanning tennis, football, Formula One and golf. Elena Rybakina will face defending champion Aryna Sabalenka in the US Open final after beating Coco Gauff in a thrilling semi-final, while a full Premier League and Championship programme includes the Manchester derby-style clashes involving Liverpool, Fulham, Chelsea, Hull, Spurs and Everton, plus Arsenal's trip to Sunderland.

Elsewhere, the Solheim Cup enters its second day in the Netherlands, with Angela Stanford's American team, the defending champions, needing just 14 of 28 points to retain the trophy despite not having won on European soil since 2015. In Formula One, championship leader Kimi Antonelli faces the debut of Madrid's Madring circuit and its banked "La Monumental" corner, having just become the first Italian since 1966 to win at Monza; Mercedes lead with nine wins from 13 races, and Antonelli holds a 66-point lead over teammate George Russell. In football, Tottenham's Roberto De Zerbi seeks a first win of the season against Everton despite a £300m summer outlay, while Sabalenka stands to lose her world No 1 ranking to Rybakina on Monday regardless of Saturday's result.
