Naomi Osaka is through to the fourth round of the US tennis Open. 

The defending champion recorded a comfortable 6-3, 6-0 victory over home favourite Coco Gauff. 

The 15-year-old Gauff was playing only the sixth Grand Slam tie of her career...and was no match for the world number one.

Meanwhile, in the men's draw...Andrey Rublev defeated Nick Kyrgios in straight sets. 

The Russian now joins Rafa Nadal, Marin Cilic and Alexander Zverev in round four.

Reds maintain 100% record

Liverpool have extended their Premier League winning streak to 13 matches, with a 3-0 victory over Burnley.

Chelsea and Sheffield United played out a 2-2 draw
Crystal Palace edged past Aston Villa 1-0
Leicester thumped Bournemouth 3-1
West Ham beat Norwich 2-0
While Newcastle and Watford drew 1-1.

Barca move off

Neymar has reportedly agreed to stay at PSG after talks over a return to Barcelona broke down.

Sources say the move failed to materialize due to the French club's unwillingness to lower their valuation...even though the player himself offered to pay 20 million euros of his own money to move things along.

Neymar is now expected to join up with the rest of his PSG teammates, when he returns from international duty with Brazil.
