The global governing body had also previously informed the ECB any footage shot in the PMOA must not carry audio or be released before the conclusion of a match.Speaking at the close of the fourth day, Stokes explained why the public announcement was made during play, detailing it was a plan between his agents and the ECB.”I just said, ‘You guys work with Michael Lumb and Neil Fairbrother, who work with me, and you guys just come up with a plan’,” said the all-rounder.Stokes was in the middle of a bowling spell at the time of the announcement and, with…

A lot has been made of how open the women’s draw is – even before the defending champion, Iga Swiatek, and the world’s top two, Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina, fell in the first week. But sometimes it pays to be aware of the in-form players, whoever they are, and so it was no surprise to see Marta Kostyuk and Linda Noskova march into the semi-finals.Kostyuk, the Ukrainian 12th seed who reached the semi-finals at the French Open last month, crushed the 2024 runner-up, Jasmine Paolini, 6-3, 6-2 on Centre Court while the 21-year-old Noskova, seeded ninth, saw off Elise Mertens of Belgium…

Putellas was Barcelona’s superstar for 14 years, helping them win an astonishing 38 major trophies, including 10 league titles and four Champions Leagues.She peaked in 2021 and 2022, earning back-to-back Ballon d’Or accolades, before an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury on the eve of Euro 2022 shook her.The midfielder recovered in time to win the World Cup with Spain in 2023 and was part of the squad that finished runners-up to England at Euro 2025.In short, she had won it all and sources say she felt it was time for a change.With her contract expiring at Barcelona, Putellas made the…
It is quite the sound when a tennis ball is pulverised by Alexander Zverev as he serves. There is the crack of racket on ball. The gasps from the crowd. And then the oohs after they glance at the speed gun.And Taylor Fritz, who had a better view of Zverev’s howitzers than anyone else at Wimbledon on Wednesday, reckons his serve will prove too hot to handle for Arthur Fery in the semi‑final on Friday and possibly anyone else left in the men’s draw.“Zverev is going to be incredibly tough to beat with how well he’s serving,” Fritz said after…

How about we all agree on Arthur’s Seat? I’d love to claim it but the honour belongs to a quick-witted friend of a friend, the literary agent Geraldine Cooke. Maybe it doesn’t have the same alliteration as Henman Hill or Murray Mound but you would say Fery’s Foothill does him an injustice given how high he has risen this week.With his straight-sets victory against Flavio Cobolli, Fery has become the first wildcard to make the men’s Wimbledon semi-finals since 2001. He is, even more extraordinarily, only the fourth player to do it at any grand slam tournament in the open…

From photos of influencers in crisp white linen dresses posing in front of floral displays at Centre Court to videos promising hacks to beat the queues and secure tickets, the hype around Wimbledon has never been bigger on Instagram and TikTok.The social media frenzy has caused concerns that Wimbledon is increasingly becoming a tourist event rather than a tennis tournament, overrun with influencers using the championship’s iconic aesthetic to build their profiles and attracting attenders more interested in dressing up and taking photos than watching the games.Many visitors said they had been inspired by social media posts and that they…
