Ons Jabeur will provide the opposition in the decider after her win over Caroline Garcia of France.

In the men's draw, the first of the semi-finals between Casper Ruud and Karen Khachanov gets underway, at 8pm Irish time.

GOLF

The BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth is currently suspended, following the passing of Britain's Queen Elizabeth.

The DP World Tour is expected to confirm at some point today whether play will resume or if the event will be cancelled.

The action was curtailed early yesterday with three players sharing the lead at eight-under-par.

Shane Lowry is six-under-par after his first-round with Rory McIlroy four-under.

RACING

It’s Longines Champions weekend at Leopardstown tomorrow, and at the Curragh on Sunday.

Joseph O’Brien won the Comer Group International Irish St. Leger - as a jockey - on 'Order of St. George' in 2015, but has yet to win the race as a trainer.

He will have two runners in the race at the Curragh on Sunday.

O'Brien says 'Raise You' has shown great improvement this year:

KFM will broadcast live from the Curraghon Sunday from 1.30pm.

Aside from Champions racing, it’s the Curragh’s Family Day, with lots of fun activities for all!
