The making of a teenage tennis star

BBC World Service - BBC OS, The making of a teenage tennis star

We speak to the coach of Cori Gauff who beat five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams

On Monday at Wimbledon 2019, 15-year-old American qualifier Cori Gauff caused a stunning upset by defeating five-time champion Venus Williams in the first round. We speak to her coach Patrick Mouratoglou about how he helped developed her ability and what the future holds for tennis's newest star.

Also we speak to our reporter in Brussels following the announcement that the Italian former journalist David-Maria Sassoli has been selected as the new president of the European Parliament.

And more than one million people across the Japanese island of Kyushu have been ordered to evacuate because of expected heavy rains. We speak to a local journalist to find out how the evacuation is progressing.
