TENNIS

CHINA OPEN: Second-ranked Iga Swiatek ended Coco Gauff’s 16-match winning streak as she advanced to the final with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over the U.S. Open champion.

It was the 19-year-old Gauff’s first loss since the quarterfinals in Montreal in August, a span that included titles in Cincinnati and at Flushing Meadows.

AUTO RACING

XFINITY: Sam Mayer rallied from the verge of elimination from the Xfinity Series playoffs with a season-defining win on The Roval at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

It was the third career win for the 20-year-old driver for JR Motorsports, who was ranked 12th and last in the playoff standings. All three of Mayer’s wins this season are on road courses, and this one earned him one of eight spots in the next round of the playoffs.

Reigning champion Daniel Hemric, Parker Kligerman, Josh Berry and Jeb Burton were eliminated.

FORMULA ONE: Max Verstappen secured his third straight championship by finishing second in the sprint race before Sunday’s Qatar Grand Prix while his teammate, Sergio Perez, crashed out after being struck by Esteban Ocon’s Alpine.

Rookie Oscar Piastri won the sprint, and his McLaren teammate, Lando Norris, was third.

GOLF

PGA: Ben Griffin moved into position for his first PGA Tour victory with another bogey-free round for a 6-under 66, giving him a three-shot lead in the Sanderson Farms Championship at Jackson, Mississippi.

Griffin was at 20-under 296 and has not made a bogey in his last 37 holes.

Carl Yuan was in second after a 67.

Sarah Kemp had a 69 and was tied for second with Lexi Thompson, who finished strong for a 71.

SOCCER

ENGLAND: Tottenham moved to the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win against Luton, despite going down to 10 men.

Micky van de Ven’s 52nd-minute goal at Kenilworth Road extended Spurs’ unbeaten league start to eight games, after Yves Bissouma was sent off in first-half added time.

Tottenham moved two points clear of defending champion Manchester City, which plays Arsenal on Sunday.

• Substitute Scott McTominay scored two goals in second-half stoppage time as Manchester United rallied to beat visiting Brentford, 2-1.

• Chelsea scored four goals in the second half to beat Burnley, 4-1, earning back-to-back league wins for the first time since March.

ITALY: Christian Pulisic came off the bench and combined with U.S. teammate Yunus Musah to score a late goal in AC Milan’s 1-0 win at Genoa as the Rossoneri took a two-point lead at the top of Serie A.

Fellow forward Olivier Giroud also had a crucial part to play in the match, but in an unusual position. His vital double save in the 14th minute of injury time came as he ended the match wearing the goalkeeper’s gloves and jersey after Mike Maignan was sent off. Milan had already used up all of its substitutes, so Giroud took over in goal.

SPAIN: Jude Bellingham extended his superb scoring run since joining Real Madrid, striking twice in a 4-0 win over Osasuna to help maintain its lead in the Spanish league.

Bellingham, a 20-year-old England midfielder, has 10 goals in 10 games since he arrived in Spain this summer.
