MELBOURNE : Second seed Iga Swiatek charged into the fourth round of the Australian Open with a 6-1 6-0 humbling of Emma Raducanu in a meeting of former U.S. Open champions at a sunny Melbourne Park on Saturday.
A talk show panel featuring former England captain Michael Vaughan and legendary Australia wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist took a brutal dig at Rohit Sharma over the India-Australia Test series. Rohit did not feature in the first Test and in the next three matches, he scored just 31 runs. The India captain was criticised by both fans as well as experts and he ended up dropping himself for the final Test match in Sydney. During the panel discussion, the members were asked to pick the best team of the summer and Ian Higgins of The Grade Cricketer said - "“Well, it has to be Rohit Sharma's PR team". The answer left everyone in splits with Vaughan even nodding in agreement with the statement.
Jessica Pegula has backed Novak Djokovic's call for more entertainment for fans, saying tennis should become less "stuffy" and "uppity." Djokovic said after his third-round win at the Australian Open that tennis needs to be "more fun". He suggested even that dancers could be brought on court during breaks to appeal to a new 21st century generation. World number six Pegula agreed the game needed to jazz things up.
Indian cricket team star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is all set to be included in the 15-member squad for the Champions Trophy 2025, according to a report by India Today. There has been a lot of conversation around Bumrah's availability after he suffered a back spasm during the final Test match against Australia in Sydney. However, the report claimed that he will be included in the side but his participation will be "subject to fitness". The report further said that “selectors want Bumrah to play at least one competitive match before the Champions Trophy to assess his fitness and make a final decision". However, according to the report, there will be no place for Sanju Samson or the in-form Karun Nair in the squad.
A relentless Iga Swiatek stayed on course for a maiden Australian Open title as she powered into the second week with a statement victory over Emma Raducanu on Saturday. In battle of former US Open champions, Swiatek easily had the measure of Raducanu as she romped to a 6-1, 6-0 triumph, rattling off 11 consecutive games from 1-1 in a brutal display. Five-time Grand Slam winner Swiatek hit 24 winners to Raducanu's nine on Rod Laver Arena. "I played a few shots that I thought after them, this is what I practise for to play these kind of shots, and that's why I really enjoyed today's match," said Swiatek, who was at times untouchable, committing just 12 unforced errors.
MELBOURNE, Australia — The only women's match featuring Grand Slam singles champions in the third round at the Australian Open turned out to be a lopsided win by Iga Swiatek over Emma Raducanu on Saturday.
Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar said he has a strong belief in Rohit Sharma having the autonomy to decide when he retires from international cricket, though he thinks the selectors could also have a say in it. As India suffered a 3-1 Test series loss in Australia, Rohit made just 31 runs in five innings, and his decision to stand down from the Sydney Test increased speculation on his international future.
