AUCKLAND : Missed opportunities nearly derailed the United States' title defence at the Women's World Cup on Tuesday, as co-captain Alex Morgan said the Americans were unhappy with a goalless draw against Portugal, even as they advanced to the last 16.
Two wins and a defeat is a decent return from three weather-affected pre-season outings for Manchester City in Asia.
Star Indian shuttlers HS Prannoy and Lakshya Sen on Tuesday jumped to the ninth and 11th spots respectively in the latest BWF world rankings following semi final finishes at Japan Open Super 750 badminton tournament. While Prannoy gained one spot, Sen improved two places after they lost in the semifinals in three hard-fought games against Denmark's Viktor Axelsen and Indonesia's Jonatan Christie respectively in Tokyo last week.
Star Indian shuttlers PV Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth will look to arrest their slump in form when they begin their campaign at the Australia Open badminton tournament in Sydney on Tuesday. The USD 420,000 event, which has been upgraded to a Super 500 tournament, will be the last chance for Sindhu and Srikanth to regain their touch ahead of the World Championships to be held in Copenhagen, Denmark. The 2019 world champion, Sindhu hasn't looked the part since her recovery from an injury as she has repeatedly made early exits in as many as seven of the 12 BWF World Tour events this year.

China's Wu Yibing collapsed and was helped off the court on Monday after retiring from his opening match against Japan's Yosuke Watanuki at the ATP and WTA DC Open. It was the second notable health incident in a match within a month for Wu, who needed a medical timeout after falling ill at the end of the first set in his opening-match Wimbledon loss to American Frances Tiafoe. On the Washington hardcourts, Wu was leading 4-1 in the first set when he made a wobbly step, went to take a seat and collapsed forward over the back of a folding chair.
WELLINGTON : Japan could hardly have enjoyed a better start to the Women's World Cup with three wins from three matches, including Monday's 4-0 thrashing of title contenders Spain, and a tally of 11 goals scored and none conceded.
Jaqueline Cristian of Romania took down Marie Bouzkova - the No. 1 seed, defending champion and hometown favorite - 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 on Monday in the first round of the Livesport Prague Open in the Czech Republic.
