No fans for England's next home game

A ban on fans attending a second game has been suspended for a probationary period of two years, while the English FA has been fined €100,000 (S$156,700), Uefa added.
The final was marred by clashes between supporters and officials in and around Wembley, with ticketless fans breaching security cordons.

Time out for Rahm to rest and recover
LOS ANGELES • US Open champion Jon Rahm said he is going to take four weeks to rejuvenate after missing the cut at the Andalucia Masters in his native Spain.
It has been a whirlwind year for the Spaniard, who became a father in April and was forced to withdraw from the Memorial Tournament in June while leading by six strokes because of a positive Covid-19 test. He won his first Major championship in June, could not compete in the Tokyo Olympics in August due to another positive test, then finished 3-1-1 at the Ryder Cup last month.

Injury-hit Federer out of world's top 10
PARIS • Roger Federer dropped out of the top 10 in the ATP rankings on Monday for the first time in almost five years, as newly crowned Indian Wells champion Cameron Norrie jumped 10 spots to world No. 16.
Federer, 40, has not played due to a right knee injury since losing in the Wimbledon quarter-finals to Hubert Hurkacz in July. Poland's Hurkacz climbed two places to 10th after making the Indian Wells last eight, knocking Federer down to 11th.
