Andy Murray has said that he "couldn't think of anything worse" than coaching - before a phone call with Novak Djokovic changed his mind.
World number one Jannik Sinner was drawn Thursday against big-hitting Nicolas Jarry to start his Australian Open defence while Novak Djokovic is on a collision course to meet Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals. Italy's Sinner defeated Russia's Daniil Medvedev in last year's final in Melbourne to secure his first major and went on to add the US Open and ATP Finals crowns to his collection. Meanwhile, Djokovic is set to face American teenager Nishesh Basavareddy, whose parents hail from Nellore, India.But the top seed will begin his title defence under a doping cloud after twice testing positive for traces of the steroid clostebol in March.
India's highest-ranked singles tennis player Sumit Nagal will take on Tomas Machac of the Czech Republic in the opening round of the Australian Open, beginning here on Sunday. The 27-year-old Nagal, currently 96th on the ATP, made it to the main draw of the season-opening Grand Slam by virtue of being among the 104 highest-ranked players in the world. The player from Haryana, then ranked 137th, had scored a stunning straight-sets win over No. 27 Kazakhstan's Alexander Bublik in the opening round of the Australian Open last year before going down to China's Juncheng Shang.
Former Indian cricket team star Manoj Tiwary launched a scathing attack on coach Gautam Gambhir as he called him a 'hypocrite' following the Test series loss against Australia. Under Gambhir's coaching, India lost the ODI series in Sri Lanka and also slumped to a humiliating Test series loss against New Zealand at home. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy loss led to more criticism for Gambhir with Tiwary saying that he has not shown the kind of coaching that was expected. He also went on to criticise the appointments of bowling coach Morne Morkel and assistant coach Abhishek Nayar.
Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma had a horrible outing during the recently concluded Test series against Australia where he scored just 31 runs in 3 matches. After missing the first match, he failed to score big in the second match and even dropping himself to No. 6 did not help his case. The situation was so bad that he opted out of the final Test match in Sydney - an act that was hailed as 'selfless' by his teammates and some of the experts. However, according to a report by Indian Express, the gesture was not appreciated by everyone as a former player gave a brutal verdict on Rohit's decision.
After Australia completed a 3-1 win over India in the 2024-25 Border Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney on Sunday, controversy followed. The legendary Sunil Gavaskar expressed his displeasure after not being invited to present the trophy, named after him and Allan Border, to Australia following their win over India in the high-voltage five-match rubber. Australia reclaimed the Border-Gavaskar trophy after 10 years with a six-wicket win over India in the fifth and final Test. Border presented the trophy to the home team but Gavaskar, despite being at the venue at the same time, was inexplicably ignored.
