• Top seed was leading Osorio 6-3, 2-4 when play called off

• Venus Williams lost 6-4, 6-3 to Tatjana Maria in Tasmania

Emma Raducanu cut a frustrated figure on Tuesday at the Hobart International as her first round match was suspended for the night due to rain with the Briton struggling to hold on to her precarious 6-3, 2-4 lead.

Raducanu, the top seed in Hobart, will return to the court on Wednesday afternoon hoping to close out her first win of the season. She lost her only match of 2026 to Maria Sakkari at the United Cup mixed-team competition last week. Afterwards, Raducanu explained how her pre-season had been badly disrupted by the foot injury she had been struggling with since she prematurely ended her 2025 season in October. The 22-year-old only began to play points and move properly in her training sessions once she arrived in Australia at the end of December.

• UK Sport aims for ‘greatest performance’ at Winter Games

• British hopes in snowboarding, skeleton and ice dance

Team GB believes it can achieve “the greatest performance we have ever seen at a winter Games” and is targeting a record-breaking eight medals at next month’s Winter Olympics.

Britain’s previous best at a winter Games is the five medals secured in Sochi in 2014 and Pyeongchang in 2018. However the Covid-affected Games in Beijing in 2022 proved to be a disappointment, with Team GB leaving China with just two curling medals.

The Jay Kelly star says he would be honoured to work with Dano, Owen Wilson and Matthew Lillard after all three actors were criticised by the director

George Clooney has said he would be “honoured” to work with three actors who were heavily criticised by Quentin Tarantino last month. Speaking at AARP’s Movies for Grownups awards on 10 January, Clooney said: “By the way, Paul Dano and Owen Wilson and Matthew Lillard, I would be honoured to work with those actors. Honoured.”

Clooney continued by describing his new film, Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly , as a movie “made by people who love actors – that’s an important part. People I’ve known most of my life … actually, most of them are actors. I have a great affinity [for them], and I don’t enjoy watching people be cruel.”
