Jack Sock has reached the finals of the Amelia Island Futures tournament after defeating Michael Venus today 7-6(5), 6-4.

Let me start with a disclaimer: I think the Sun handled the Janes letter badly and think Cameron should condemn them for it. What I do disapprove of is people, particularly Labour supporters, using it as a be all and end all excuse to condemn the paper. They made a bad editorial choice.

This weekend a minute's silence will be observed at all league football fixtures up and down the country. Premier League teams have agreed to embroider poppies onto their kits for their matches with the exception of Manchester United, Liverpool and Bolton. So why have the two biggest griefmongers (Munich & Hillsborough) in sport decided not to wear the poppy this weekend. The excuse is that it...
