Britain’s Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid won a sixth successive Australian Open wheelchair doubles title while Andy Lapthorne triumphed in the quad doubles final.

Top seeds Hewett and Reid defeated Spain’s Daniel Caverzaschi and Frenchman Stephane Houdet 6-2 6-4 at Melbourne Park.

It is their 22nd Grand Slam title as a partnership.

Lapthorne and Dutchman Sam Schroder won the quad wheelchair doubles with a 6-1 6-4 victory against the top seeds, Niels Vink of the Netherlands and Israel’s Guy Sasson.

Lapthorne, 34, has now won eight doubles titles in Melbourne.

Hewett, 27, will play in the wheelchair singles final against Japan’s world number one Tokito Oda on Saturday.

Novak Djokovic says he will return to the Australian Open next year if he is still “fit, healthy and motivated”.

The 37-year-old Serb, aiming for a record-extending 11th men’s singles title, retired injured from his semi-final against Alexander Zverev on Friday.

He raised both thumbs in the air towards the 15,000 fans as he left Rod Laver Arena – which he has often described as his “second home”.

Asked if it might be his final appearance at Melbourne Park, Djokovic said. “I don’t know. There is a chance. Who knows? I’ll just have to see how the season goes.

“I want to keep going. But whether I’m going to have a revised schedule or not for the next year, I’m not sure.”

It is the second successive year that Djokovic has lost in the Melbourne semi-finals.

Djokovic has stripped back his schedule in recent seasons and prioritised being ready for the biggest tournaments – namely the four Grand Slams.

The former world number one continues to seek a 25th Slam to move clear of Australia’s Margaret Court, who won 24 women’s singles titles between 1960 and 1973.

The Australian Open is where Djokovic has enjoyed most of Grand Slam success followed by Wimbledon, where he has won seven titles.

He has also won three French Open and four US Open titles.

“I normally like to come to Australia to play,” seventh seed Djokovic added.

“I’ve had the biggest success in my career here. So if I’m fit, healthy, motivated, I don’t see a reason why I wouldn’t come.

“But there’s always a chance [it is the last time].”

City could do with a right-back – but both defenders they have signed so far are primarily centre-backs.

Brazilian Reis, 19, moved from Palmeiras for £29.6m and Uzbekistan’s Khusanov, 20, has joined for £33.6m.

But will either play immediately?

“At the age of 19, with only 22 senior appearances at Palmeiras behind him, it is difficult to see Reis as anything other than a player for the future, even though he has the capability to play across the back line,” said BBC journalist Stone.

“Khusanov has more experience and understands European and international football. However, he is viewed more as a central defender.

“That said, as with Josko Gvardiol, no-one can be entirely sure what is in Pep’s mind for Uzbekistan’s first Premier League player.

“Gvardiol arrived as an international central defender and is now first-choice left-back, so nothing can be taken for granted with Guardiola.”

Palmeiras wanted to keep right-footed Reis on loan, after he was named in the Brazilian league’s team of the season.

But City insisted he moved immediately – and they say he will join Guardiola’s squad this season.

“I believe he will have no trouble adapting to the City system because here in the youth teams he was always exposed to playing under risk, having to be involved in the build-up play while also defending efficiently, even in one-on-one situations,” Palmeiras Under-20 coach Lucas Andrade told BBC Sport.

Khusanov would seem more likely to play soon – after a rapid rise – but is still unlikely to go straight into the team.

He has played 24 Ligue 1 games for Lens after an £84,000 move in July 2023 from Belarussian side Energetik-BGU.

“He’s a raw profile who needs ironing out,” said Luke Entwistle, editor-in-chief of Get French Football News.

“He’s an unpolished diamond, but one worth taking a punt on because the finer details and tactical understanding can be improved by Pep Guardiola. Forty million euros could look like peanuts in a decade’s time.”

Lens’ British boss Will Still said: “He’s calm, powerful, he’s fast.

“He has very, very impressive potential. Kodir is a tank. He’s impressive physically and athletically.”

Novak Djokovic was booed off court by some Australian Open fans after retiring injured from his semi-final against Alexander Zverev.

Djokovic, who was bidding for a record-extending 11th title, quit after losing the first set 7-6 (7-5).

The 37-year-old Serb had his upper left leg heavily taped after injuring it in Tuesday’s quarter-final win over Carlos Alcaraz.

After he slapped a volley into the net on set point, Djokovic immediately approached the net and shook hands with Zverev.

He waved to the crowd and gave them a double thumbs up, despite audible boos from some sections inside Rod Laver Arena.

“The very first thing I want to say is please don’t boo when a player is injured,” said Zverev in his on-court interview.

“I know everyone paid for tickets but Novak Djokovic is someone who has given everything to the sport.

“He has won this title with an abdominal injury, he has won this title with a hamstring injury.

“If he cannot continue a tennis match, he really cannot continue a tennis match.”

German second seed Zverev is still bidding for his first Grand Slam title after twice losing in major finals.

In his first Australian Open final, he will face either Italian top seed Jannik Sinner or American 21st seed Ben Shelton.

Manchester United have written to fans to warn them that the club are at risk of breaching spending rules and ticket prices could rise as a result.

In a letter to fan groups, United said they must “act now”.

Under the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR), clubs can lose up to £105m over three years.

“If we do not act now, we are in danger of falling to comply with PSR/FFP requirements,” the club said in the letter.

“We are currently making a significant loss each year – totalling over £300m in the past three years. This is not sustainable.

“We will have to make some difficult choices. That has included a significant reduction to our workforce as well as cuts across many areas of spend across our club.

“We do not expect fans to make up all the current shortfall – but we do need to look at our ticketing strategy to ensure we are charging the right amount, and offering the right discounts, across our products for our fans.”

The club letter was in response to a letter from fans groups The 1958 and Fan Coalition 58 urging United to “consider the long-term implications of ticket price increases”.

In September, United reported a net loss of £113.2m in the year to 30 June.

It followed losses of £28.7m in 2022-23 and £115.5m in 2021-22, and took total losses over the past five years to over £370m.

United were accused of exploiting fans after taking the mid-season decision to raise matchday ticket prices to £66 per game, with no concessions for children or pensioners.

The ticket pricing announcement came after the club confirmed the cost of paying off former boss Erik ten Hag and his staff was £10.4m, while the cost of paying a release clause to bring in his replacement Ruben Amorim was £11m.

In November, United revealed they had spent £8.6m as part of a redundancy programme that had led to about 250 employees losing their jobs.

Last season Everton had a 10-point deduction reduced to six on appeal in February for breaching PSR for the three-year period to 2021-22.

Nottingham Forest were also charged with PSR breaches last season and were docked four points in March.

Spurs have been left shorthanded by their injury troubles. Against Hoffenheim, Postecoglou could only name eight substitutes, including two goalkeepers and five teenagers.

All three of the players to come off the bench against Hoffenheim were 19 or younger, including 17-year-old debutant Callum Olusesi.

“These guys are giving everything they can. It should not be dismissed that I had five teenagers [on the pitch],” Postecoglou said.

“We are a Premier League outfit playing in an away game in Europe and we had five teenagers out there. It is pretty much unheard of in an important game, not a dead rubber. And that goes to show the load these guys are willing to take on themselves, without making excuses.

“I could not speak highly enough of the players carrying us through. They will get some help hopefully soon with some players coming back. We are in a real good position in Europe.”

Spurs are now fourth in the Europa League table, and will qualify as one of the eight sides to go straight into the knockout phase if they beat Elfsborg on matchday eight.

Their progress in the cups is in stark contrast to their league form. In the Premier League, they have won one of their past 10 matches and have fallen to 15th, eight points above the relegation zone.
