Cam Norrie battles back from a set down to beat Frances Tiafoe and romp into Wimbledon third round

CAMERON NORRIE battled from a set down to beat Frances Tiafoe and book his place in round three. Norrie reached the Wimbledon semi-finals in 2022 and with the draw opening up, will be hopeful of another deep run again. 3 3 He faced the No12 seed Tiafoe - himself a former Grand Slam semi-finalist - on No1 Court. And the world No61 Brit produced the shock in front of an adoring home crowd. Tiafoe took the opener 6-4 and looked to be in control. But Norrie came roaring back, digging deep to rattle off the next three sets - breaking the American right at the end of the fourth. He wrapped up the 4-6 6-4 6-3 7-5 victory in just shy of three hours on court. And the former world No8 will face either Mattia Bellucci or Queen's finalist Jiri Lehecka in round three. Lehecka downed British No1 Jack Draper in the semis at Queen's before losing to Carlos Alcaraz in the final. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..

Dortmund's stance on loanee Chukwuemeka revealed

Loanee Carney Chukwuemeka missed Dortmund's 2-1 win over Monterrey on Tuesday night through illness but has Chelsea's permission to extend his loan until the end of the Club World Cup. The Blues will allow the midfielder to remain with the German giants, who next face Real Madrid in New Jersey's MetLife Stadium on Saturday. However, Chukwuemeka, who moved for £20m from Aston Villa in 2022, remains surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea prefer to sell, rather than loan out the 21-year-old in the longer term. Dortmund would happily keep Chukwuemeka beyond the Club World Cup but are reluctant to pay Chelsea's £40m asking price. They will wait to see if Chelsea's demand changes or whether it might be possible to re-sign Chukwuemeka on loan later in the likely means Chukwuemeka will return to Chelsea for at least a few weeks following this Club World Cup campaign.
