Sailing: Three-time gold medallist Ben Ainslie could only finish today's first Finn race in sixth place as Denmark's Jonas Hogh-Christensen proved he was no one-day wonder.
The 35-year-old Brit has been sluggish out of the blocks at previous Olympics but got off to a decent start yesterday, collecting two second places. -
Sailing: Hogh-Christensen was the victor in both races and impressed again this afternoon, finishing second to New Zealand's Dan Slater in Weymouth Bay.
Ainslie, meanwhile, had to settle for sixth place after a difficult start.
The gold medal favourite had been close to Hogh-Christensen but lost ground upwind as he finished behind the Dane for a third successive race. -
Tennis: British hopeful Laura Robson set up a second round clash with Maria Sharapova after beating world number 23 Lucie Safarova with a gutsy display on Court 18 at Wimbledon.
The 18-year-old, roared on by a raucous crowd, raced in to a comprehensive first-set lead, but she had to dig deep after a comeback from the Czech to wrap up an impressive 7-6 (7/4) 6-4 win.
