Emotional watching @rogerfederer last event. The most impressive thing is Roger being himself. We may not be able to watch his elegance on court again but you’ve left a lifetime of memories for so many. Career well played, enjoy the next chapter 👍🏼🙏🏼🎾

Football
Harry Kane addressed England’s form.
We know results haven’t been what we wanted. As a group we know what we’re about and will fight through a tough period. Full house at Wembley against Germany will be great World Cup preparation. pic.twitter.com/6S39ygd8VD
