They call it the toughest job in tennis. No, it’s not coaching Emma Raducanu or interviewing Corentin Moutet on live television. Since they stopped making rackets out of trees, only three women have done the Roland Garros-Wimbledon double in the same summer. You’re talking Martina Navratilova. You’re talking Steffi Graf. You’re talking Serena Williams. That’s one hell of a blunt rotation.And so for Mirra Andreeva there is a breathtaking brutality to her task over the next fortnight: simply emulate the greatest women ever to do it. We think we know how it ends. The way it usually ends: in sprawling,…
Immediately after the game, Nagelsmann was repeatedly asked about his future and said he was “not someone who runs away” but admitted he would not be popular among the German supporters.”If we’re going to do a survey today in Germany, people are not going to speak about me positively obviously,” he added. “I did feel the support in the stadium. I don’t think everyone in Germany will agree with me staying on and continuing as manager of the team.”I’d like to praise all the German fans who came to the stadium. I expected a totally different reaction from them but…
Ten out of 10 is a great statistic, unless the 10 are losers. British tennis endured its worst day at Wimbledon this century as all 10 Britons who completed their matches were beaten. And it might have been 11 had the light not faded on Jack Pinnington Jones, who trails Brandon Nakashima by two sets and 4-3.Big runs by Emma Raducanu at Queen’s and Jack Draper in Eastbourne had raised hopes of a strong British showing here this year but, as Draper joined Raducanu in pulling out through injury on Monday, one after another slipped to defeat.In truth, most of…
So, a decision Stokes finalised when he was putting on his pads on Saturday leaves England staring at a future they would have hoped to have delayed for much longer.Who becomes the new captain? Stokes said he “100%” backs Harry Brook, whose challenge is to prove himself to be mature enough to lead the Test team.What about the balance of the XI, knocked so badly out of kilter when Stokes missed the second Test at The Oval?Are there any candidates to come in as the all-rounder? Maybe Rehan Ahmed or Sam Curran, at a push. At The Oval, England played…
One of WWE’s most surprising betrayals now has an explanation. A week after Lyra Valkyria stunned fans by turning on Bayley, the former Women’s Intercontinental Champion finally broke her silence on RAW and revealed what drove her to attack her longtime partner. The explanation didn’t erase the shock, but it did offer a clearer look at why one of WWE’s strongest alliances came crashing down. Sometimes the biggest heel turn isn’t a sudden swerve — it’s months of frustration finally getting its entrance music. Lyra Valkyria explains why she turned on Bayley The fallout began on the June 22 episode…
In his 21st Wimbledon and 116th match at the All England Club, the 39-year-old Novak Djokovic fought like a lion as he kicked off his quest for a men’s record-equalling eighth title with a 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 win against China’s Wu Yibing.The scoreline tells only half the story. Djokovic looked comfortable in the first set but Wu, a huge talent whose career has been badly affected by injury, began to cut loose, slapping winners from the baseline, especially on his forehand. The third set was crucial as Djokovic snatched the vital break and then won a long deuce game to…
A break in the very first game proved enough to see Djokovic through the opening set, but Wu stuck with him in the second before striking decisively at 6-5.There was little to separate the pair in the third set, although Djokovic’s fitness was tested as he and Wu exchanged heavy groundstrokes in lengthy baseline rallies.Wu was cheered along with drawn-out bellowing of his name – in similar fashion to the chants that the Centre Court crowd used for Holger Rune in 2024, when Djokovic accused the fans of using it as an excuse to boo and disrespect him.But while Djokovic…

There was a group of 10 demonstrators outside the main gates of the All England Club on Monday morning, protesting against Barclays’ sponsorship of the championship on the grounds that as well as providing its customers here with deckchairs and free strawberries and cream, as well as the chance to visit something called the Clubhouse by Barclays at Aorangi, they are also heavily invested in various weapons manufacturers who are supplying the Israeli Defense Forces.“We’re not against tennis,” one of the protesters shouted out through a loudhailer. “We just want the Championships to drop Barclays.”There were people shouting “C’mon Tim”…
Because Osaka was playing on an outside court, the former world number one had to be escorted through the crowds to her match.Unsurprisingly, many unsuspecting fans could not help but stop and take in Osaka’s latest fashion statement as the 28-year-old passed them on the walkway.”From my end, I thought that was really fun just because I didn’t think anyone expected that,” Osaka said.”I try to lock in a little bit and wear my headphones. I could feel when I walked by someone, they would physically turn their whole body. I thought that was really fun.”It was cool because I…
