Tennis Doubles: Serena Williams put the icing on the cake of another magnificent Wimbledon campaign by teaming up with sister Venus for a sixth doubles crown at the All England Club. The sisters beat Timea Babos, of Hungary, and Kazakhstan’s Yaroslava Shvedova 6-3 6-4 on Centre Court – hours after Serena claimed a record-equalling 22nd grand slam singles title by defeating Germany’s Angelique Kerber.

Track and field: Russian long jumper Darya Klishina has been cleared to compete internationally as a neutral athlete after a successful appeal against a blanket ban on her country’s track and field athletes for systematic doping. The IAAF banned Russia’s track and field athletes last year after a WADA report uncovered systematic state-sponsored doping within the country. Individual Russian athletes, however, could apply to the IAAF for exemptions to compete as “neutral athlete” if they could prove they were not involved in the system.

Athletics: Andre De Grasse ran his fastest 100 metres of the year to book his place at the Rio Games next month following events at the Canadian Olympic trials which were held last weekend.

Brown, who earlier this season ran 9.96 seconds in Florida, finished second in 10.07 seconds.
