Britain's Land Rover BAR retired from their first America's Cup semi-final race against Emirates Team New Zealand on Monday after suffering a breakage in their towering "wing" sail. "A bit of a shame for those guys... it was shaping up to be a good race," New Zealand helmsman Peter Burling said in televised comments on BT Sport after the British crew retired. The other semi-final series will be contested between Sweden's Artemis Racing and SoftBank Team Japan who are also scheduled to complete two races on Monday. The first team to win five races in each semi-final will go through to the challenger final. (This article has not been edited by DNA's editorial team and is auto-generated from an agency feed.)
