Fired-up Novak Djokovic braced for Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal challenge at French Open
Novak Djokovic admits he will be fired up by the fiasco of his high-profile deportation from Australia when he targets a record-equalling 21st major on his Grand Slam return at the French Open. World number one Djokovic captured a second Roland Garros title in 2021 followed by a sixth Wimbledon to move to 20 majors alongside Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. However, his unseemly exit from Melbourne following his refusal to be vaccinated opened the door for Nadal to claim a second Australian Open and 21st Grand Slam crown.

'I can’t wait to play in Britain again' - Emma Raducanu named on entry list for Rothesay Classic Birmingham
Emma Raducanu is one of four former major champions named on the entry list for the Rothesay Classic Birmingham, and says she “can’t wait” to return to British soil for the 40th anniversary event — the first time since her US Open win last September. The current world No.12 will be the highest-ranked player at the tournament — the biggest female-only tennis event in Britain — and is relishing the prospect of playing at Edgbaston Priory Club for the first time in her career.
Andrew Symonds' performances always changed the course of the game
Symonds was to that ridiculously talented Australian cricket team in the 2000s. The first is from an ODI in Melbourne vs West Indies in 2001. His victim was Laurie Williams, who tragically also died in a car crash, like Symonds did in Townsville, Queensland late on Saturday. Williams died in Jamaica in 2002, aged 33. Symonds was 46. In the video, Williams drives Nathan Bracken towards long-on and starts running. But Symonds swoops in from mid-wicket, stops the ball, spins while still parked on his buttocks, and coolly throws down the stumps at the striker's end. All this happens in about one-and-a-half seconds.
