#MIAMI

After two days of rain the sun returned to the Miami Open on Saturday in a good omen for Iga Świątek, who launched her bid to become just the second woman to win the “Sunshine Double” more than once with a breezy 6-1 6-1 win over Italy's Camila Giorgi.

Argentina’s Lionel Messi won a record eighth Ballon d’Or for the best football player in the world, beating Norway's UEFA player of the year and treble winner Erling Haaland of Manchester City to get the prestigious prize.
