French Open tournament director and retired former world No 1 Amelia Mauresmo has refused to comment on Rafael Nadal's chances at the tournament amid his injury woes. The two-time Grand Slam champion said she had learned her "lesson" after doubting his hopes in 2020, when he won his then-record equalling 20th Major title.
The French Open is the first grand slam in two years that will be free of Covid restrictions. That is cause for celebration, especially if you are the Serbian with 20 major wins who is defending his title at Roland Garros.
TOI has learnt that the India women's team is set to tour Sri Lanka and England to play limited overs games in the forthcoming months, besides taking part in the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. The icing on the cake for Mithali Raj & Co will be a rare chance to play an ODI (final game of the tour) at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground on September 24. The India women's team didn't play at Lord's during their all-format tour last year.
Virender Sehwag was one of the most devastating openers India have had in Test cricket, with his ability to score runs quickly helping the team take the game away from the opposition. Now, the former opener has named Prithvi Shaw as being the one who "can bring the excitement back in Test cricket." Shaw, like Sehwag, likes to play aggressively at the top of the order. The youngster, however, has not played for India since being dropped after the Adelaide Test during the tour of Australia in 2020-21.
Pakistan's Azhar Ali made an unbeaten double century as he helped Worcestershire rewrite the record books in an English County Championship match against Leicestershire on Friday. Azhar and former England Under-19 international Jack Haynes put on 281 for the third wicket -- a record partnership against Leicestershire, surpassing the 278 by Cyril Walters and Harold Gibbons in 1934. Their stand was the cornerstone of Worcestershire's 456 for three, a lead of 308, at stumps on the second day of four at New Road.
Australia white-ball skipper Aaron Finch had an underwhelming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season for Kolkata Knight Riders as he managed just 86 runs in five innings, with his highest score being 58. Over the course of last 12 months, Finch has not been able to score big consistently and this is something Australian fans must be worried about. Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson has said that Finch is batting nowhere his best and he cannot be picked if he is not scoring runs in the buildup to the T20 World Cup set to be played in Australia this year.
Delhi Capitals will take on Mumbai Indians in their last league match of the ongoing IPL 2022 season at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday. A win would take them to the playoffs ahead of Royal Challengers Bangalore on a better net run-rate. Mitchell Marsh starred in DC's last two wins and the Australian all-rounder will look to continue the great form and take his team to the playoffs. Prithvi Shaw's return to the squad is a welcome news for DC batting but it's not clear whether the young opener will feature in th playing XI or not.
(Reuters) - Double Olympic champion Ariarne Titmus has no plans to reverse her decision not to compete at this year's world championships, despite going close to breaking Federica Pellegrini's world record in the 200m freestyle on Friday.
