Daniil Medvedev sighed deeply. He had been asked in his pre-French Open press conference to provide some of the intel he gleaned from his spectacular last battle, yet for once he did not have much to say. Medvedev had produced a brilliant performance in the semi-finals of the Italian Open last week, eviscerating the ball off both sides and dragging his opponent off the baseline, scarcely making an error despite their incredibly physical, attritional battle. It was the best level any player had shown against Jannik Sinner, the current undisputed No 1, since the Australian Open in January. He still…

Cleo Pallister-Turley, a forward for Cardiff university’s women’s rugby team, winces as she recalls two major concussions from playing rugby. “Girls ask me, ‘aren’t you worried about getting injured?’,” the biomedical sciences student said. “I enjoy the physicality and the intensity. For me, no other sports compare.”Women’s rugby has enjoyed significant growth in recent years. Women now make up a quarter of players worldwide, according to World Rugby, and more than 400 clubs offer rugby to women and girls around the UK; in the 1990s, only a handful existed.The increase in popularity, however, has not been matched by investment in…

With phase three of OTA’s in full swing at Baltimore. The 2026 rookie class has been a complete standout since arriving at “The Castle” earlier this month. Two rookies in this class have the most to gain before camp goes underway in July.Ja’Kobi Lane – WRIt’s safe to say that the Ravens got an interesting character in their third round wide receiver who’s coming off a season where he caught 49 passes for 745 yards and four touchdowns. After running the table at the rookie showcase last week, Lane has brought that energy onto the field in week one of…

“Be great today,” will be Concord football’s new motto. Concord football is undergoing some change, but not a complete overhaul. Assistant Coach Mike Leonard was selected as the team’s head coach for the 2026 fall season as Jim Corkum ascends to high school principal. Leonard will have to await the Concord school board’s approval before he can get to work. He joined Concord’s staff two years ago from Goffstown and said he has loved every minute since he arrived. Obviously, last year’s playoff loss to Windham stung, but he’s confident the young squad will continue to grow. His motto, he…

Allen was commended for his immediate reaction to the semi-final loss when he paid tribute to 22-year-old winner Yize while acknowledging “I had my chances and blew it, so there’s no point in being a bad loser”.He hopes he has “many more chances to do it [win a world title] and won’t be remembered for one shot”, but feels there are similarities between his quest to complete snooker’s Triple Crown and Rory McIlroy’s odyssey to finally completing golf’s career Grand Slam at last year’s Masters.Allen would welcome the opportunity for “a chat with Rory to see how he felt and…
