Struggling Aryna Sabalenka saved nine match points but still ended up tumbling in three sets to Ann Li at the Wuhan Open, as her troubles continued in China.

In a dramatic last-32 match on Wednesday during which the four-time major winner required treatment on her taped-up right knee, Li came from 4-2 down in the second set to shock the Belarusian 3-6 6-4 7-6 (7-5).

The American eventually clinched victory off her 10th match point — but the first on her own serve.

Li converts 10th match point to upset Sabalenka, earn career-best win in Wuhan

Ann Li had to work for it, but she rallied from a set down and converted her 10th match point to upset No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (5) in 2 hours and 27 minutes on Wednesday for the biggest win of her career.

It marked Li's third career Top 10 win and second this season. It was also her career-best win by ranking and her first over Sabalenka in four WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz meetings. With the win, she advanced to the third round of a WTA 1000 event for the fourth consecutive time — a personal best — and reached that stage in Wuhan for the first time.

WTA Wuhan Round Two Best Bets Including Aryna Sabalenka vs Ann Li

The WTA Wuhan Open is well underway in China. The WTA Wuhan event is the second of two 1,000-point tournaments in China on the Asian fall swing. WTA Beijing immediately precedes Wuhan. Qinwen Zheng defeated Mirra Andreeva in the Beijing final. As a result, both players have pulled out of Wuhan, which isn’t surprising. In Wuhan, we have already seen Alexandra Eala lose. It will be interesting to see, at this late stage of the tennis season, which top players will power through to the finish line and which ones run out of gas. For bettors, this is the primary question this late in the season. Let’s see what happens in the early rounds of Wuhan, as players make one more push for needed ranking points and some momentum before the 2026 tennis season comes to a close. LWOS has our best bets for three matches. Post your best bets and thoughts in the comments.

Cowwarr Weir, which sits just south of the Victorian Alps, received 185 millimetres of rain over three days, while the Gippsland town of Briagolong recorded 182 millimetres – an October record for the highest 72-hour rainfall total in the town’s history.

Stifling heat and broken toilets: TUI River Cruise passengers tell of their holiday hell

Dozens of people have accused TUI River Cruises of operating vessels with faulty facilities including persistently broken air conditioning, after they spent thousands of pounds on holidays.

Earlier this year passengers on the Skyla, a ship operated by TUI, contacted BBC Your Voice to say they had been stranded in Budapest during a heatwave with little to no air conditioning.

Following that report more people got in touch to say they faced similar problems on both the Skyla and its sister vessel, the Isla. They criticised TUI's customer service and said the refunds offered were inadequate.

TUI apologised to customers where trips "fell short of the standards we aim to deliver".

Battered but not broken Blues look to unleash mayhem in State of Origin decider | Angus Fontaine

But if Queensland pick up where they left off in game two, Billy Slater’s Maroons can condemn NSW to a fourth series loss in five years

Most league pundits have had New South Wales twisting in the wind since their 44-24 capitulation in Melbourne. The Blues have won only three deciders contested at Suncorp Stadium in the last 32 years and have lost 15 of 20 Origin matches played there. Laurie Daley has been in a position to wrap up a series nine times now – eight times he’s failed.

But this is Origin, where anything and everything can happen. Pilloried in the media, the Blues are battered but they aren’t broken, with fresh players bringing fresh hope. Queensland, unable to claim underdog status, have practised calm before the storm. In a city angry at their imploding Broncos, the stage is set for a Suncorp barnburner.

Liam Martin is fired up

He’s known as a ‘wild dog’. But Liam Martin’s pre-game antics will surprise you

About the same time as 50,000 Queensland fans save their loudest boos for Liam Martin when his face is beamed on the big screen before kick-off on Wednesday night, the man himself will be following a strict pre-game ritual beneath Suncorp Stadium.

The TV cameras captured Martin sitting in the sheds with his eyes closed and meditating before a game against the Gold Coast Titans a few weeks ago.

Commentators had a laugh at the vision, while even his mates were quick to ridicule him via text message.

How is it one of rugby league’s wildest and most physical players – the man regularly dubbed “grub” by the Queenslanders, and “wild dog” by his own teammates – could appear so at peace just moments before a game?

Australian marathon record broken as 20-year drought ends

Haftu Strintzos broke the Australian marathon record and became the first Australian man to win the Gold Coast Marathon in 20 years, in a remarkable run in crisp, sunny conditions on Sunday morning.

Not even an hour earlier, Cameron Myers had scored a dominant victory in the men’s mile at the prestigious Prefontaine Classic in the United States – and become the outright national record holder in the process.

The clock read 2:06:20 when Strintzos breasted the tape to win the Gold Coast Marathon.

In a gutsy and pulsating dash to the finish line, it was touch and go whether the Ethiopian-born Aussie would knock off Andy Buchanan’s national record.

Haftu Strintzos has broken the Australian record while becoming the first Australian man to win the Gold Coast Marathon in 20 years.

Strintzos strode through the finish line tape in a blistering 2:06:20 on Sunday, bettering previous holder Andy Buchanan's record set in Valencia, Spain in 2024 by two seconds.

It's just the third time in the last 40 years that the Australian milestone has tumbled and the first time it has happened on home soil in that period.

The ACT Brumbies have given fans a lot to be pumped about to start the season, but Wallabies rising star Charlie Cale might just top the list.

One veteran has been blown away by the 25-year-old back-rower's four-try start to the year for the Brumbies, especially after a devastating, injury-hit 2025, and believes Cale should be firmly on the Wallabies radar ahead of the World Cup next year.

The evidence that the Wallabies hadn’t forgotten about Brumbies No.8 Charlie Cale during his long injury layoff was discreetly placed at the bottom of every Rugby Australia squad update last year.

There he was, listed as “unavailable for selection” alongside Tom Wright, Tate McDermott, Noah Lolesio, Tom Lynagh and Langi Gleeson when the Wallabies announced their squad for the end-of-season tour last October.

Bear in mind that Cale has only made two Wallabies appearances, both against Wales in 2024.
