Jamie Murray will become the doubles world number one player when the rankings are published next month, while there is further tennis success with Johanna Konta digging deep to reach the last 16 of the Miami Open. Catch up on all the latest news here:
Jamie Murray will be named as the doubles world number one player when the new rankings list gets released next month.
The 30-year-old will replace Marcelo Melo atop the doubles rankings on Monday April 4 after the Brazilian failed to reach the quarter-finals at the Miami Open on Sunday.
Murray, who won his first Grand Slam doubles title in January at the Australian Open alongside Brazilian partner Bruno Soares, had already lost at the tournament but he had accrued enough points to move top of the rankings.
It means he will make history as the first Briton under the modern ranking system to become a world number one.
Virginia Wade was the last Briton to achieve the world number one spot, also in doubles, in 1973 but this was before the computer rankings system was introduced by the ATP and WTA during the 1970s.
"Last night I went to bed wondering if that was the closest I would ever get," wrote Murray on Instagram. "Today driving in the car my phone started to go crazy. #1"
Johanna Konta ensured there will be three Brits in the last 16 of the Miami Open singles after beating Russian qualifier Elena Vesnina 4-6, 6-1, 7-6.
With Andy Murray already through in the men’s singles and Heather Watson having done likewise in the women’s competition, British number one Konta had to dig deep to join them.
The 24th seed made a slow start against her opponent and twice had to serve to stay in the match but held her nerve before taking control of the tie-break.
She will next face 32nd seed Monica Niculescu of Romania in the fourth round.
"The heat rule was in but we didn't take the break. We needed to change our clothes because they were so heavy with sweat," said Konta.
The British number one played three brilliant points from 6-5, 30-15 down in the decider, and reeled off four straight points to clinch the tie-break.
"She was playing a very good level and has been for the last number of weeks," Konta added.
"I knew going into the match there wasn't going to be much in it either way, so I was very happy I was able to stay calm, kept fighting and come through it in the end."
Bianca Walkden believes Team GB can claim four taekwondo medals at Rio 2016 – with the Liverpool star determined to pick one up for herself.
Last year was certainly one to remember for Walkden as she became just the second Brit to won World Championship gold after beating France's Gwladys Epangue in the +73kg final in May.
That success followed winning the same colour at the 2014 European Championships as Walkden proved that she is back to her best following a knee injury.
She isn’t the only Brit to have starred on the world stage though in recent years with Jade Jones and Lutalo Muhammad winning gold and bronze at London 2012, as well Mahama Cho and Damon Sansum showing they aren’t there to make up the numbers.
All this points to a successful Games in Rio later this summer and Walkden is not about to miss out on the party.
"I think we’ve got a really good, strong team and we could come out of Rio with four medals," said Walkden, who recently won the Dutch Open.
"It depends on what colours the medals are but I think we have got a really good chance. No matter what happens we’ll be a threat in the Olympics, win or lose we’ll be hard to beat.”
Natalie Powell saw off world number 12 Madeleine Malonga of France to win bronze on the final day of the Tbilisi Grand Prix.
Powell was in impressive form to claim her second bronze medal of the year, taking just 35 seconds to win her first contest in Pool B.
A close defeat to world number four Guusje Steenhuis of the Netherlands in the semi-final ended her hopes of a gold medal.
But the Welsh judoka bounced back for the bronze medal match, scoring a deserved yuko against Malonga.
Cambridge turned the tables on their Oxford rivals by claiming their first Boat Race win since 2012.
Oxford had dominated the race in recent years but Cambridge made the early moves in the 162nd edition of the race before winning by five seconds.
Cambridge head coach Steve Trapmore, an Olympic gold medallist with Great Britain in 2000, said: "They were incredible," said the 41-year-old. “It's a tough ask to go up against what we've been challenged with in the last few years, we knew we had a lot to prove.
"Henry (Hoffstot, our president, has) been fantastic all campaign, driving me on, driving the guys on.
"We'd been practising (rough water) all year, and one of the fantastic things about the race is the variety of conditions you could be presented with. We haven't had a race like this in a long time.
"It makes it all the sweeter to know we've beaten their tenacity. I think it's the start of the turn of the tide for Cambridge."
Meanwhile in the women's race, Oxford continue to hold their edge over their rivals after making it four wins in a row.
