The U.S. Open's Labour Day Monday morning session belonged to the underdogs, as Naomi Osaka and Felix Auger-Aliassime delivered commanding performances that carried them back to Grand Slam quarter-finals after years in the wilderness, Reuters reported.

Osaka looked every bit the four-time major champion while dismantling third seed Coco Gauff 6-3 6-2 in just 64 minutes, reaching her first Flushing Meadows quarter-final in five years with a display that mixed power with poise at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

"I'm a little sensitive. I don't want to cry. I had so much fun out here," said Osaka, whose smile never left her face during the dominant victory, according to Reuters.

"A big thank you to my team. We've been through a lot, it hasn't been easy but they have been by my side."

Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi’s proposed transfer to Liverpool collapsed on Monday despite the Premier League champion agreeing a reported 35 million pounds ($47.28 million) deal for the England international, British media said, Reuters reported.

The 25-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of the season, was reported to have undergone a medical in London ahead of the move but now looks set to stay at Selhurst Park.

Palace captain Guehi scored in his side’s 3-0 win at Aston Villa on Sunday, after which manager Oliver Glasner made it clear he did not want the defender to leave.

“This is our captain. We have to keep him. I told this to the chairman (Steve Parish),” Glasner said on Sunday, according to Reuters.

Real Betis have signed Manchester United forward Antony ahead of Monday's transfer deadline after the clubs agreed a 25 million euros ($29.27 million) package deal, Reuters reported.

There is a 50% net sell-on clause in the deal and no pay-off for the 25-year-old Brazil international.

Antony made 62 Premier League appearances for United, scoring five goals and providing three assists since the Old Trafford club bought him for 81.3 million euros ($95.18 million) from Ajax Amsterdam in 2022, according to Reuters.

AC Milan have signed French midfielder Adrien Rabiot from Olympique de Marseille, the Serie A club said on Monday, two weeks after the player was put on the transfer list following a dressing room altercation with a teammate, Reuters reported.

Italian media reported that the 30-year-old has penned a three-year deal with Milan, who have paid a reported 10 million euros ($11.71 million) for the 30-year-old.

Rabiot was put up for sale by the French club along with English winger Jonathan Rowe due to "unacceptable behaviour" after Marseille's Ligue 1 loss at Stade Rennais, according to Reuters.
