Having reached the last 16 of the World Cup by scraping past DR Congo 2-1, one of the biggest dangers facing England in their next match against Mexico is something they can’t control – altitude.The Three Lions will be playing at the iconic Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, 7,220ft above sea level.It will be England’s first game at the stadium since their controversial quarter-final defeat by Argentina at the 1986 World Cup.At that altitude, the Earth’s barometric pressure is lower, making the air thinner and meaning less oxygen is taken into the bloodstream with each breath.Even for professional footballers, that…
It hardly seems possible that seven years have passed since a 15-year-old Coco Gauff announced herself on the world scene with a brilliant victory here over Venus Williams in the first round. Gauff has since won two grand slam titles and been ranked as high as world No 2.Her form has been up and down, her serve and forehand occasionally brittle, especially when the pressure is ramped up. But there is no better scrapper in the game and invariably, even when things go awry, she finds a way to dig deep.On Wednesday, she was twice within two points of defeat…

Normally I’d follow it, tracking its scattery path, willing it to land. But not here. Not on Court 5. Not on break point.The Community Sport Centre at Roehampton, the Wimbledon-qualifying venue, isn’t butterfly habitat. Not like Barnes Common, which was teeming with little flutterers when I made my way from the station. Here the habitat is human-oriented: tents, green canvas, the evocative plock of ball on string. But then butterflies can turn up anywhere.A flash of movement, a glitch in the matrix. It skitters about in that unpredictable way they have, a sandy orange scrap on a zigzag path. Painted lady. Lot…
Tonight, we finally determine who will become the new TBS Champion in a Survival of the Fittest Match on AEW Dynamite! Competitors in a Survival of the Fittest Match are eliminated by pinfall or submission, and the winner is determined until there is one woman left standing. Stepping up to the plate is Harley Cameron, Hikaru Shida, the CMLL Women’s World Champion Persephone, Kris Statlander, Queen Aminata, and Stardom’s Maika. The ring begins to clear out as Persephone and Shida are left in the ring. Cameron finds an opportunity to align with Persephone, but that backfires as Persephone drops Cameron…
However, perhaps above all, Ferguson would return home a leader having captained Bologna since 2023.His uncle Barry was a legendary captain at Ibrox, winning multiple domestic honours and also managing the team on an interim basis last year. Dad Derek played for Rangers between 1983 and 1990.Fans of the club have long lamented a lack of leadership within their squad, and with former long-term captain James Tavernier gone and goalkeeper Jack Butland departing, experience has left the squad.The arrival of Lawrence Shankland should help fill that void, and Ferguson would too. The Scotland duo, plus McCrorie, also fit into McInnes’…
Jannik Sinner is not making it easy for himself this year. Matches he would have expected to sprint through here have become mini-marathons and there is the small matter of another heatwave arriving in London this weekend, which, as we saw in Paris, is his kryptonite.More worrying, as Sinner admitted after reaching the last 32 with a 7-6 (4), 7-6 (2), 6-4 victory over the world No 48, Nuno Borges, his game is still falling short. The forensic analysis started when the Italian was asked whether his forehand was as good as it could be.“No, it’s not,” came the reply.…
How a team defends is not done in isolation. In possession, tactics affect how well a team defends too.With England having longer spells of possession in the second half, they were able to minimise the impact of DR Congo’s build-up play.This will be a more difficult ask, playing in what is an away game against Mexico.But, more measured possession in a similar fashion to how DR Congo started the game against England might be a tactic Tuchel’s side could look to borrow for their next match.On the ball, England struggled at times to put together free-flowing attacks against DR Congo’s…
There was once a time, not so long ago, when matches between Novak Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas occurred on the most significant occasions this sport has to offer. Djokovic was Tsitsipas’s opponent in both of the Greek player’s grand slam finals at the 2021 French Open and then the 2023 Australian Open. In Paris, Tsitsipas led Djokovic by two sets.Back then, even if he never managed to beat Djokovic in a big final, Tsitsipas was surely convinced that he would at least be around long enough to soar when age finally caught up with the Serb. Instead, it is Tsitsipas…
