Sinner wins US Open, Paris says goodbye to Games, what happened overnight in world of sport

Here we are, it’s Monday again, which means bleary eyes at work for those of us who can’t not watch sport when it’s actually taking place. And there was a lot overnight. The US Open, the first Sunday of the NFL season, cricket, football, a little bit of rugby, even baseball if that’s your poison.

If there was a sportsbook in Hong Kong, they’d make a killing. Jannik Sinner came into the US Open under a cloud of suspicion and with questions swirling around tennis’ drug testing policies. He ended it with a brutal display of baseline power to become the first Italian man to win the tournament.
