American Coco Gauff secured her 50th WTA win of the year with a 6-0 6-4 victory over Magda Linette in the Wuhan Open quarter-finals.

The world number four will face top seed Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-finals on Saturday, after the US Open champion beat Magdalena Frech 6-2 6-2.

Gauff, 20, made eight double-faults against Poland’s Linette but was dominant on her opponent’s serve, winning 14 of 21 return points in the opening set.

“I played well, overall, maybe two bad games,” said Gauff, who has won her past nine matches.

Linette, 32, recovered slightly in the second set before one of her 22 unforced errors gave Gauff the only break of serve in the set, which wrapped up the American’s win.

Meanwhile, two-time defending champion Sabalenka extended her unbeaten record in Wuhan to 15 matches.

The Belarusian, 26, hit 42 winners in 16 games against Frech of Poland, securing victory in one hour and 23 minutes.

Also on Friday, China’s Wang Xinyu overcame Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova 4-6 7-5 7-6 (8-6) in their last-eight tie.

In the other quarter-final, China’s Paris 2024 gold medallist Zheng Qinwen faces Wimbledon finalist Jasmine Paolini of Italy from 12:05 BST.

Former Hibernian, Liverpool and Scotland midfielder Peter Cormack has died at the age of 78.

Cormack, who earned nine international caps, won two league titles, the Uefa Cup and FA Cup during a four-year spell at Anfield between 1972 and 1976 working under manager Bill Shankly.

Born in Edinburgh, he was a youth signing with Heart of Midlothian, but it was with city rivals Hibs where he broke into the first team, playing 182 times across seven years before moving to Nottingham Forest, Liverpool and Bristol City, with whom he won the Anglo-Scottish Cup.

He returned to Scotland for a second spell at Easter Road before finishing his playing career with Partick Thistle.

Cormack began his managerial career with Thistle and also had spells in charge of Anorthosis, Botswana, Cowdenbeath and Greenock Morton.

JOHN DALY is a favourite amongst golf fans for his larger than life personality and unique approach to the sport.

And now two-time US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau is a firm believer after Daly showed off his unusual golf cart.

The pair played a round together as part of DeChambeau’s YouTube series in which he attempts to break 50 with various golf stars.

Famous figures such as Donald Trump and Phil Mickelson have appeared on the show, but Daly left his host stunned in typical fashion.

Before a club was even swung, the former Open and PGA Championship winner paused to show off his golf cart.

That is because it has been modified with a built-in cooler to store Daly’s alcoholic beverages in the cart’s bonnet.

Daly, 58, revealed it follows him everywhere he goes, and he then took out a can of one of his Good Boy John Daly Cocktails, which he described as: “The best non-carbonated drink in the world.”

A shocked DeChambeau burst out laughing and said: “Are you kidding me? Oh my gosh.”

Daly has built a reputation for his party lifestyle and he frequently drinks and smokes while on course.

But he joked he slowed down during his round with DeChambeau, suggesting he started drinking at 9am and had 20 drinks by the time the video began.

He also gifted DeChambeau a box of cigars, with Daly’s smoking antics making him popular amongst fans.

At the PGA Championship this year the veteran took a puff from a cigarette during practice, leading to praise from fans.

LEE CARSLEY’S tactical experiment of playing no strikers backfired as Vangelis Pavlidis’ double secured an emotional shock win for Greece at Wembley.

Interim England boss Carsley played all three of our nation’s gifted No10s – Phil Foden, Jue Bellingham and Cole Palmer – in varying positions.

But it did not work and the Greeks took a deserved lead thanks to Pavlidis’ belting second-half finish.

The visitors then held up a shirt in celebration bearing the name Baldock – in reference to their team-mate George Baldock, whose passing at the age of just 31 on Wednesday rocked the world of football.

Bellingham looked to have ensured the points were shared with a thunderous strike with three minutes to go.

But there was still time for Pavlidis to expose some woeful defending deep into injury time by firing past Jordan Pickford.

Here are SunSport’s player ratings from a dire night for England under the arch.

Jordan Pickford: 4

Wandered into no-man’s-land territory outside his box early on and lost the ball, allowing Greek skipper Tasos Baksetas a free shot at goal – only to be saved by Levi Colwill’s last-gasp clearance. Did not instil confidence, despite his experience.

Trent Alexander-Arnold: 6

Some tasty passes – they are his speciality, after all – but not great at the back. He, John Stones and Cole Palmer were weak in their attempt to close down Vangelis Pavlidis before the Benfica man smashed home the opener.

John Stones: 5

Made captain for what was his 82nd cap, surpassing Rio Ferdinand’s haul. But it was a shaky display from his defence and Stones should have done better to stop Pavlidis.

Levi Colwill: 7

Greece would have been ahead far sooner were it not for Colwill’s athletic hack away to deny Bakasetas. Replays showed it would have crossed the line had the Chelsea man been a split second later with his incredible intervention.

Rico Lewis: 6

Tried to bomb up the left flank where he could but, just like Kieran Trippier at the Euros, was hamstrung by constantly having to cut back onto his favoured right foot.

Declan Rice: 6

Played as England’s only holding midfielder, as fans had been imploring Gareth Southgate to use him for years. It was not like he was overrun but his side did look vulnerable on the counter.

Phil Foden: 4

Spent most of the game pressing the Greek backline as a false nine without really getting on the ball and causing any damage. Ineffective. 

Cole Palmer: 6

Deployed in a deeper, central-midfield role which at least meant he saw plenty of the ball, though he blazed England’s best chance of the first half over the bar. Remarkably, his first competitive England start, despite being named on Tuesday as Three Lions player of the 2023-24 season. 

Bukayo Saka: 5

Struggled to get into the game and then was forced out of it, worryingly limping off early in the second half. The last thing Arsenal fans wanted to see.

Jude Bellingham: 7 STAR MAN

Played in a false nine position and had a belting early shot well saved. The system did not work but Bellingham still so nearly emerged as the saviour by banging in his first goal of the season for club and country.

Anthony Gordon: 5

Caused Greece few problems and his touch looked off it. Had a decent chance from Alexander-Arnold’s peach of a delivery but headed over.

SUBS: 

Noni Madueke (for Saka 52): Played out on the left, rather than his natural right, when coming on. Went down in the box deep into injury time but no penalty was given. 6

Ollie Watkins (for Gordon 60): Almost scored with his first touch when played through by Palmer, but smashed just over. 7

Dominic Solanke (for Foden 72): Grabbed an assist when laying the ball back to Bellingham who thumped in the leveller. 7

Manager Lee Carsley: 4

Seemed to gamble unnecessarily with this experimental system instead of playing it safe to add another win to boost his case to earn the job full-time. Carsley played without a natural centre-forward when winning the Under-21 Euros because he had to after Flo Balogun switched the USA and Rhian Brewster got injured, but here he did it by choice and it did not work. Bellingham looked to have saved his bacon – but then Pavlidis struck again.
