Andy Murray was a tennis player. Past tense. Feels strange to say doesn't it?

The first day of Murray's retirement has been spent at the Team GB Performance Lodge in north-west Paris.

The 37-year-old was cheered and clapped into the building as other British athletes - including the women's hockey team - were among the tens of people forming a guard of honour.

A beaming Murray coyly waved his appreciation and thanked them for the reception.

Afterwards the former world number one sat down for a round of television interviews - including one with British cycling hero Chris Hoy for BBC Sport.

Then he popped off for a spot of lunch with his fellow Scot and Knight of the Realm.

Iga Swiatek is back smiling.

The Pole was left in tears yesterday after her 25-match winning streak on the Paris clay was ended by China's Zheng Qinwen.

That defeat saw Swiatek miss out on the gold medal match.

However, she was back in action today, breezing past Slovakia's Anna Karolina Schmiedlova in just 61 minutes to add Olympic bronze to her five Grand Slam titles.

That's Poland's very first Olympic medal in tennis.

Georgian Guram Tushishvili has been disqualified from repechage and team competiton after an altercation with France's Teddy Riner in the men's +100kg quarter-final.

Riner grabbed the leg of Tushishvili, leading to the Georgian pushing the Frenchman as he was about to get up off the floor.

A statement from the International Judo Federation (IJF), external said: "Following the incident that took place at the end of the quarter-final between Teddy Riner (FRA) and Guram Tushishvili (GEO) in the +100 kg weight category, the behaviour of the Georgian judoka was against the 'spirit of judo,’ an ad hoc disciplinary commission was called immediately together to investigate the situation."

French journalist Julien Laurens on 11-time judoka world champion Teddy Riner: "There was a period, I think, between 2012 and 2016 where he was unbeaten for four years. Nobody could touch him.

"He's 193 metres and 140 kilos. How do you make him fall and win the contest?"

Teddy Riner, who lit the Olympic cauldron at the opening ceremony last week, is guaranteed a medal.

The Frenchman defeated Tajikistan's Temur Rakhimov by ippon to reach the men's +100kg final.

A three-time Olympic champion, Riner also has two bronze medals in his collection - one of which he claimed at Tokyo in 2021 after losing to Russia’s Tamerlan Bashaev, his first defeat at the Games since 2008.

However, he has not lost at Grand Slam or World Championship level since then.

I've just managed to grab Harry Charles' father, Peter, for a quick chat after he watched his son win Olympic gold, 12 years after he did the same in London.

"The dream is to win an Olympic gold medal but to do it so young, at his age [25], with two guys I rode with in London, that's surreal," he said.

"I haven't had a moment to reflect on it."

On Harry's round, he added: "Brilliant. Nick Skelton came up to me and said 'at that age, I couldn't have done that'. He said 'that was absolutely brilliant'. Harry's got many more opportunities if please God everything goes right.

"It's a wonderful moment to enjoy, to showcase the sport, how beautiful it is. The horses are the real stars, they jumped fantastically for the riders today."

Hideki Matsuyama has an absolute shocker down the 18th after smashing his tee shot right into the thick stuff.

The 2021 Masters champion was only able to punt his third into the second cut and then dunked his approach into the water in front of the putting surface. The Japanese golfer actually did well to only make a double there, rolling in from 12-14 feet.

Tommy Fleetwood also coughs up a shot after finding the sand and failing to drain a par-saving putt from a similar distance.

That means the British golfer, Matsuyama and Xander Schauffele are all in the clubhouse and in a three-way tie for the lead on 11 under overall.

A little further back down the course and leaderboard, Rory McIlroy has just doubled the 17th to drop back to four under overall.

Leaderboard

-11 Schauffele (66), Matsuyama (68), Fleetwood (64)

-9 Rahm (66)

-8 Detry (63), Pan (65), Kim (17)

Selected others

-6 Scheffler (17)

-5 Fitzpatrick (64)

-4 McIlroy (17), Aberg (17)

And here's the three gold medals in all their glory!

• The second round of the men's golf continues throughout this afternoon. GB's Tommy Fleetwood holds the joint lead on 11-under-par, alongside Xander Schauffele of USA and Japan's Hideki Matsuyama.
• Teddy Riner, who lit the Olympic torch at the end of the opening ceremony, continues to compete in the men's over-100kg judo for France. The finals start at 17.09 BST.
• This evening in the pool, Ben Proud is through to the men's 50m freestyle final. That's at 19:30 BST, followed by the women's 200m backstroke final with Katie Shanahan and Honey Osrin. Duncan Scott and Tom Dean then go in the men's 200m individual medley final at 19:43.
• If Beth Shriever and Kye Whyte make it through their semi-finals in the BMX racing, the men's final is at 20:35 with the women's race to follow at 20:50 BST.

• The first athletics gold medal to be competed for at Stade de France will be the men's 10,000m, which starts at 21.20 BST.

Now then, who wants to hear about Team GB's golden day so far?

• Team GB are up to nine golds, and third in the medal table, after winning the equestrian team jumping final. Scott Brash completed a nerveless circuit on Jefferson, following team mates Harry Charles on Romeo 88 and Ben Maher on Dallas Vegas Batilly.
• Bryony Page won a silver medal at Rio 2016 and a bronze at Tokyo 2020. In Paris, she has completed the set with a phenomenal final score of 56.480 to win trampolining gold.
• Three years ago, Emily Craig and Imogen Grant missed out on a medal by 0.01 seconds in Tokyo. Today in Paris, they are Olympic champions after a dominant performance in the women's lightweight double sculls.
• But it was so near but yet so far for Ollie Wynne-Griffiths and Tom George in the men's pairs, as they took a significant early lead only to be caught near the line by Croatian brothers Martin and Valent Sinkovic and had to settle for silver.
• There was bronze in the diving for British pair Anthony Harding and Jack Laugher in the men's synchro 3m springboard - the fourth successive medal won in the diving pool by Team GB out of four finals so far at Paris 2024.

• Spanish second seed Carlos Alcaraz has breezed into the Olympic men's singles final, beating Canadian 13th seed Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-1 6-1. He will play Serbian top seed Novak Djokovic or Italian 11th seed Lorenzo Musetti in Sunday's final. You can keep track of the tennis scores here.
• Britain are on course for a medal in the women's windsurfing, where Emma Wilson currently leads. The final round was due to take place this afternoon, however a lack of wind means it has been postponed until tomorrow.

A ninth gold of the games today has put Team GB up to third in the medal table. Sensational!

Team GB's gold medallist in the women's trampoline Bryony Page, speaking to BBC One: "This is amazing having everyone at this side of the arena! The competition I am happy with, but I made a mistake in the first routine, but I did make up it for it in the second [routine].

"It hasn't sunk in at all and it means so much. I love the sport and I am so glad I can compete in it - I love this competition.

"I just jump up and down on a trampoline and make it look good!"

There's the men's kayak cross time trials done and dusted.

It makes for good viewing for Team GB - Joe Clarke, who missed out on the medals in the kayak singles yesterday, finishes as the fastest paddler with a time of 66.08 seconds.

All 38 make it through to round one, but those time trials determine the seeding.

GB's Adam Burgess finds himself further down the rankings in 26th.

There's a new sports discipline making it's Olympic debut today.

Kayak cross pits four athletes up against one another at the same time, on a course featuring downstream and upstream gates - and also requires a 360-degree kayak roll.

It's as hectic as it sounds.

Today, there are four Brits trying to make it through qualification which takes the form of an individual time trial.

Adam Burgess, who won silver in the canoe singles, and Joe Clarke are in action in the men's event, while bronze medallist Kimberley Woods and Mallory Franklin go in the women's.

What do Olympic athletes do when they get knocked out of their respective event?

Well, in Casper Ruud's case, he popped down the Albatros Course today to watch the likes of Rory McIlroy take to the course.

The Norwegian was beaten by Felix Auger-Aliassime yesterday and after his defeat, he wrote on X, external asking: "Hey Olympics would it be possible to have 3 tickets for the golf event tomorrow? The athletes website for ticketing is down. Thank you in advance!"

It looks like his wish was granted!

What. A. Shot.

Hideki Matsuyama put on an absolute masterclass on Thursday to lead overnight and he's at it again, chipping in off the edge of the 16th green to move back on top of the leaderboard on 12 under par.

Not content with that mind he rolls in for birdie from seven feet on the 17th, before leaking his tee shot well right on the 18th.

His playing partner Tommy Fleetwood also birdied the 17th so this could be an intriguing finale given he is second, just one stroke back.

Meanwhile, Great Britain's Matt Fitzpatrick signed for a seven-under 64 today and is now back in contention at five under overall.

So how are Team GB doing in Paris compared to previous Olympics.

Well, so far so good. The British athletes are, on day seven, bettering their medal tally from Tokyo three years ago.

UK Sport expects GB to win between 50 and 70 medals at Paris 2024. Can they beat the 64 from Tokyo 2020?
