Tennis: Caroline Wozniacki scraped past Jarmila Gajdosova to reach the last eight at the Toray Pan Pacific Open. The 24-year-old Dane, winner at the Tokyo-staged event in 2010 and runner-up at the US Open earlier this month, endured a tough battle against the Slovak-Australian qualifier before clinching a 4-6 7-5 6-3 victory to set up a quarter-final clash with Carla Suarez-Navarro.

Rugby Union: Australian Matt Giteau has ended speculation over his future by agreeing a new two-year deal with Toulon. The 31-year-old former Wallabies playmaker moved to the French south-coast club from the Brumbies in 2011. He has helped Toulon earn back-to-back Heineken Cup titles in 2013 and 2014, together with last season’s Top 14 success. Giteau had been linked with Paris side Racing Metro, with reports suggesting they could offer him a record-breaking contract. However, Toulon stated yesterday that Giteau has agreed to stay with them.

Davis Cup: Carlos Moya has decided not to stay on as Spain’s Davis Cup coach next year after the five-times winners, missing their top players, were eliminated from the elite World Group by Brazil at the weekend. Injured world number two Rafa Nadal and number five David Ferrer were two of the absentees as Brazil’s 3-1 success on clay in Sao Paulo dumped Spain into the Euro/Africa Zone Group I for the first time since 1996. Moya, who took over from Alex Corretja at the end of 2013, announced his decision to step aside on his Twitter feed (@Charlymoya) yesterday.
