2. Proteas v Sri Lanka 

The Proteas are back in action for the first time since April.

Faf du Plessis and his men are in Galle as they take on Sri Lanka in the first of two Tests.

Already this Test has proven to be challenging for the relatively young SA side, but can the Proteas fight back to avoid defeat - and will this be a historic Test for fast bowler Dale Steyn?

We'll have to watch and see...

Seven-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams is on the verge of making history as she takes on former No 1 Angelique Kerber in the women's final.

Also let's not forget our other countryman Raven Klaasen and doubles partner Michael Venus as they take on Jack Sock and Mike Bryan in their doubles final on Saturday.
