SO ZVERY GLAD TO BE BACK

ROGER FEDERER brushed off the rust to win his first match for three months as Rafa Nadal pulled out of next week’s tournament at Queen’s.

The Swiss star, who skipped the whole clay season, is starting his grass-court campaign at the Mercedes Cup in Stuttgart. And after losing the first set to Mischa Zverev, the world No.2 (above) found his rhythm to win 3-6 6-4 6-2.

The 36-year-old, who can reclaim the No.1 spot by reaching the final, said: “I’m super happy to be back – three months out is a long time.”

World No.1 Nadal, who has played 27 matches on clay in the last two months, will not play a grass-court warm-up event before Wimbledon. The French Open champion said: “Queen’s is a great event but I need to listen to what my body is telling me.”

Andy Murray is expected to announce in the next 24 hours if he will make his comeback at Queen’s.

The US tech giant has agreed a five-year deal to show ATP men’s tennis starting fully in January 2019. ENGLAND survived a batting wobble to see off Australia and hold on to their ranking as the world’s best ODI team.

A three-wicket win was far closer than it should have been, with England hunting down a slender target of 215 to go 1-0 up in the five-match series.

They had learned from defeat against Scotland and had their senior players – Eoin Morgan, Joe Root and man-of-thematch Moeen

Ali (right) – to thank most.

But they will know it could have been easier.

In the first match between the nations since the Australia balltampering scandal, David Willey was the key man at the end to see home the team with an unbeaten 35.

He finished the game with a towering straight six, yet it should not have been left to him.

Morgan had batted beautifully for his 69, while Root was imperious in reaching 50, but a loss of three wickets for 10 runs provided a scare.

Skipper Morgan said: “I’m very pleased with the win, particularly with the bowling. I thought they were outstanding today and the spinners did a great job as they have done for a few years.

“We were good in parts and to win the game when you’re not as good as you can be is a great thing.

“Joe is a genius and very calm at the crease. Nothing is unachievable when he’s there, he’s a huge part of our team.

“And Moeen always gives you an option and he’s had a great day
