LONDON: Four-times defending champion and hot favourite Novak Djokovic began his record quest with a straight-sets Wimbledon victory over a willing but eventually outgunned Argentine Pedro Cachin on Centre Court on Monday (Jul 3).
Brazil forward Marta said it feels "surreal" to be preparing for a sixth Women's World Cup and that the tournament in Australia and New Zealand will be her last.
Australia's win over England in the second Ashes Test on Sunday which saw them go 2-0 up in the series was overshadowed by the controversial dismissal of the hosts' batter Jonny Bairstow. He was given out when Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey threw the ball at the stumps after the England batsman walked out of his crease after ducking under a Cameron Green bouncer. There was confusion in the middle, Bairstow seemingly believing the ball was dead at the end of the over, but Australia were happy to proceed with a deeply divisive appeal.
Novak Djokovic launched his bid for an eighth Wimbledon title on Monday with a 40th successive win on Centre Court while American stars Coco Gauff and Venus Williams were knocked out. The 36-year-old Djokovic, who has won the past four titles at the All England Club, defeated 68th-ranked Pedro Cachin of Argentina, 6-3, 6-3, 7-6 (7/4) on the tournament's showpiece court, where he has not lost since 2013. Djokovic even found time to help ground staff dry out the world's most famous lawn after the surface became too slippery following a downpour.
Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal on Day 5 of the second Ashes Test match between England and Australia at Lord's has split social media over the ongoing debate regarding the 'spirit of cricket'. Bairstow stepped out of his crease and when Alex Carey completed a direct hit, the umpires ruled that he did not signal anything to them despite the batter's protests. The incident has been analysed by many ex-cricketers but Victoria Police has come up with a hilarious point of view to the entire episode. "We'd like to thank Jonny Bairstow for reminding everyone about the dangers of stepping over the crease before you're given the green light," Victoria Police tweeted.
The controversial dismissal of Jonny Bairstow during Day 5 of the second Ashes Test between England and Australia at Lord's resulted in massive boos from the crowd and even an unwanted incident at the venue's famous Long Room. Bairstow was given out after he walked out of his crease following a delivery from Cameron Green and wicketkeeper Alex Carey completed the dismissal. While England fans were of the opinion that the play was over, the umpires decided that Bairstow did not signal before leaving the crease and was given out. The crowd booed the Australia cricketers after the dismissal and even some members of Lord's confronted Usman Khawaja and David Warner at the Long Room.
Going into her sixth World Cup, Brazil star Marta said Monday that this will be her last.
