Meanwhile, the number two seed, Dominic Thiem, is also through to the quarter finals. Colm harrison has been watching.

South african batsman hashim amla has announced his retirement from International Cricket at the age of 36. He will continue to play domestic cricket in south africa and t20 franchise cricket around the world. In a 15 year career with the proteas, the former captain played a total of 349 internationals across all three formats, including 124 test matches. He scored more than 18,000 runs, including 55 centuries, and he also holds the record for south africas highest individual test score. Well, certainly a stand up moment would be the 311 that he made at the oval in 2012 against england. Its the first time that a South African has made a triple hundred in test cricket, and it was a wonderful moment for him. And its a culmination of an incredible career, amazing talent, and obviously great dedication. Hes had some other incredible moments where hes fought for south africa, where theyve been in really tough moments, where you almost kind of forget about it, because he kind of does it quietly, in a way. People obviously praise ab de villiers a lot, the stars that stand out, like dale steyn. But sometimes people forget how good he was, and also how brilliant he was even in the shorter formats of the game. His strike rate was incredible. And theres no doubt that therell be some very fond memories for most people who have watched hashim amla. If you look back on his career, he never, ever allow the sponsorships in terms of alcohol, betting, those kinds of things. He never took money for that. He was always very open about the fact that he was most them, and he was very religious, and he was very dedicated to his religion as well, but he never thought of forced it on anyone else. It was just about him. That is what was good for him, that is what worked for him, and he was never compromising about that. And in many ways it made him such a good role model for anyone else within the country, whether you are muslim or not. It was more about sticking to what works for you, and what was good for you. He was so good at that f1 organisers have confirmed that next years british grand prix will take place on sunday 19july.

Hello there. It was 27 degrees on thursday in suffolk. Felt a bit more like summer, but the weathers changing now. The next few days look very different. Not only will there be some rain, which is going to be heavy at times, its the strength of the wind thats going to be more significant, and bring more impacts. Now, we dont normally see a satellite picture looking like this at this time of the year. But this curl of cloud marks the position of an unusually deep area of low pressure for august, hence the strength of the wind. Its a lot further south than wed expect, as well, and its pushing these weather fronts northwards and eastwards, and bringing some rain as well, which could be heavy at times. As we head into the morning, northern scotland still generally dry just one or two showers, a cooler feel here. But a wet start to the day across central, southern scotland for the rush hour. That rain is going to be quite heavy. And weve still got some rain around in the morning first thing across northern ireland, the far north of england, and perhaps some showery bursts of rain still to clear away from eastern england. Further west, though, wales and the south west dry at this stage, and quite sunny as well, and quite a warm and muggy start across england and wales, too. That rain should clear away in the morning from eastern england, the rain band marching northwards into northern scotland, and then a lot of showers develop out across western parts of the uk. These are going to be heavy, thundery, gusty winds. Very lively gusts in the south west later on in the afternoon, as the winds really start to pick up. Its still going to be quite warm, though, for eastern parts of england, where its going to be driest of all in the afternoon. Highs into the mid 20s. But our area of low pressure is continuing to push its way northwards, and the winds continue to strengthen during the evening, overnight and into saturday. The low pressure is focusing the wettest weather in the northern half of the uk, with showers or longer spells of rain for scotland, northern ireland, perhaps the far north of england, the risk of thunder. Further south, the showers that come in will be more fleeting. Therell be lengthy spells of sunshine, and thats because its going to be very windy for england and wales. Widespread gales, and well be looking at gusts of 60 mph around some Southern Coasts of england and wales. And because of that, its going to feel somewhat cooler and fresher, with typical temperatures into the low 20s. For the second half of the weekend, our low pressure starts to push away to scandinavia. It wont be as windy on sunday, but weve still got these weather fronts on the scene, focusing the showers into longer spells of rain, and that wetter weather will drift its way further south into england and wales. It will start to change the wind direction. Itll be breezy, but nowhere near as windy on sunday. But were pulling down a northerly wind. Its drawing down cooler air, particularly in the north, with highs of 15 or 16 celsius. Welcome to bbc news, im duncan golestani.
