LONDON, June 29 : Men's defending champion Jannik Sinner and women's top seed Aryna Sabalenka both arrived at Wimbledon with question marks hanging over them but answered the doubters on Monday with contrasting first round victories.
Jannik Sinner dug deep with a blood-stained white trainer to snap his five-set losing streak and begin the defence of his Wimbledon title with victory over Miomir Kecmanovic.
The Republic of Ireland’s Nations League fixture with Israel on October 4th will be held in Serbia, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) has confirmed.
KANSAS CITY, Missouri, June 28 : Scotland captain Andy Robertson paid tribute to departing manager Steve Clarke on Sunday, thanking him for transforming the team's fortunes a day after the 62-year-old stepped down following the country's World Cup exit.
LONDON: Wimbledon begins on Monday, with defending champion Jannik Sinner chasing a fifth Grand Slam title and women’s top seed Aryna Sabalenka chasing her first major of the year. In the absence of rival and two-time Wimbledon winner Carlos Alcaraz, Sinner is the clear favorite this year, but the Italian may have to contend with the hot weather and his own lack of preparation as he seeks to defend his title. After his second-round defeat at the French Open from a near-winning position when he cramped up in sizzling conditions, the 24-year-old skipped the warm-up tournaments ahead of the grasscourt slam. He said this could work to his benefit, however, ahead of his opening clash with Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic on Monday. “If you play a tournament before here, maybe it’s not going the way you would like to, you come here with some doubts,” he told reporters on Saturday. “If you don’t play any tournament, you don’t have these doubts, you just go and play.” Sabalenka has been at the top of the WTA rankings since late 2024, but the Belarusian has only won one Grand Slam title in the past 18 months, despite reaching four finals.
LONDON: Jannik Sinner insists he is ready to defend his Wimbledon title despite going into the tournament with a lack of action on grass courts. Sinner hasn’t played since suffering a shock defeat against Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the second round of the French Open in May. The world number one blew a two-set lead as he wilted in stifling heat on the clay courts of Roland Garros. Instead of maximizing his time on grass ahead of Wimbledon, which starts on Monday, the Italian has opted to rest before stepping up his practice schedule after arriving in London. It is the first time he has stayed away from the Wimbledon warm-up events prior to playing in the grass-court Grand Slam. “I feel good. I think grass is very different surface obviously. If you play a tournament before here, maybe it’s not going the way you would like to, you come here with some doubts.
LOS ANGELES: England and Portugal will aim to finish on a high as the World Cup group stages draw to a close on Saturday with the final places in the knockout rounds up for grabs. Both nations have been inconsistent in the opening rounds of the tournament, alternating between labored performances and moments of genuine quality. England, level on four points with Ghana after two games, take on Panama at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford looking for a victory to boost their chances of claiming top spot in Group L. In Miami, Portugal enter their clash Group K with leaders Colombia knowing that only a win will enable them to leapfrog the South Americans into first place. England opened their World Cup with a swashbuckling 4-2 defeat of Croatia in Dallas last week but were held to a 0-0 draw in an attritional battle with Ghana on Tuesday. Manager Thomas Tuchel is expecting another arm-wrestle against point-less Panama on Saturday, with the South Americans expected to defend in numbers. “It’s a team that is difficult to break down, they’ve hardly allowed any chances,” Tuchel said Friday on the eve of the game. “We see a well-coached, well-drilled team and a clear identity.
