The High Street retailer wants to raze and rebuild its Oxford Street store and last month said it was hopeful ministers would approve its plans 'very, very soon'. M&S argues its store will revitalise Oxford Street, which has been plagued by tacky candy shops.

A tired service game from Zverev, who has spent almost 24 hours on court this fortnight, gave Alcaraz the early advantage. ‘Carlos, Carlos’ chanted the crowd on Philippe Chatrier in scenes usually only reserved for 14-time winner Nadal.
