Venus Williams exited the U.S. Open in good fashion on Tuesday, putting up a solid effort in her women's doubles quarter-final defeat after taking the headlines back once again for her style and substance on the court, Reuters reported.

The 45-year-old made an age-defying return to tennis this year, becoming the oldest WTA singles match winner since 2004 in July, and her matches in the women's singles, doubles and mixed doubles made her appointment viewing across Flushing Meadows.

A breathless account of her on-court fashions followed, from Vogue to InStyle, more than a quarter-century after she and sister Serena changed tennis' fashion game, a testament to her enduring influence, according to Reuters.

Carlos Alcaraz dazzled at the U.S. Open to make the semi-finals on Tuesday before Novak Djokovic danced his way through to book a New York showdown with the Spaniard that will mark the latest chapter in their generational rivalry, Reuters reported.

Former champion Alcaraz produced yet another entertaining display at Flushing Meadows to dismantle 20th seed Jiri Lehecka 6-4 6-2 6-4 at a sunbathed Arthur Ashe Stadium, securing his place in the last four without dropping a set this year.

"Sometimes I play a shot that I should not play in that moment but it's the way I love playing tennis," Alcaraz, who is two wins away from taking the world number one spot from Italian rival Jannik Sinner, told Sky Sports, according to Reuters.

Manchester City have confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain, Reuters reported.

The Italy international has signed a five-year contract and joins the club after a historic season with PSG, in which he helped the French side win a quadruple, the Ligue 1 title, French Cup, French Super Cup and UEFA Champions League.

“I am joining a squad packed with world-class talent and a team led by the one of the greatest managers in the history of football in Pep Guardiola. This is a club every player in world football would love to join,” Donnarumma said in his first Man City interview, according to Reuters.

A delay of mere seconds in registering a new signing has proved extremely expensive for Grimsby but at least the League Two club looks to have escaped a potential expulsion from the Carabao Cup, The Guardian reported.

Instead Grimsby have been fined £20,000 by the English Football League for fielding an ineligible player during their famous League Cup win against Manchester United at Blundell Park last Wednesday. The governing body opted to issue a pecuniary sanction rather than use their potential powers to either expel David Artell’s side or order the tie to be replayed.

Clarke Oduor’s registration was submitted at 12.01pm last Tuesday, one minute and 59 seconds after the 12pm deadline demanded by this ­season’s EFL League Cup rules, according to The Guardian.
