Formula One is heading back to Africa for the first time in over three decades, and the details are coming into focus. The Race got an exclusive look at the new Rise Motordrome circuit near Kigali, Rwanda, with F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali calling the announcement one of the most significant days in the sport's history. A genuinely historic moment for the global game.
Staying in the NFL, Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Alaric Jackson is sitting down for two games after striking Buffalo Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb in the face following Monday Night Football.

Two games, no appeal announced, consequences delivered.

The young Brit knocked off world number twelve Belinda Bencic in what continues to be a remarkable comeback from long-term injury. Kartal is playing with confidence and timing that suggests this run is far from over.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
