Haaland relishing ‘special’ World Cup showdown with England

MIAMI, USA: Erling Haaland said facing England, the land of his birth, in the World Cup quarter-finals was extra special as he aims to extend Norway’s historic run into the last four. In his first major international tournament the Manchester City striker has propelled his country to the last eight by scoring seven times in four appearances, including a memorable double to beat Brazil in the last 16. Haaland was born in England as his father Alfe Inge Haaland was playing for Leeds at the time and he has spent the last four seasons at City where he has become the poster boy of the Premier League. “It’s a special game, yeah, definitely. I think for me it’s super special, because I play in England and I was born in England, and you also play against team-mates and everything,” Haaland told reporters in Miami.

Surprise Wimbledon semifinalist Arthur Fery developed his game at Stanford University

LONDON: There’s also an American angle to the French-born British player who grew up five minutes from the All England Club and has reached the semifinals as a wild card at Wimbledon. Arthur Fery honed his game by playing three years of college tennis for Stanford University, where he was a two-time All-American. Now he’s the first former Stanford player to reach the last four at Wimbledon since John McEnroe’s eighth and final Wimbledon semifinal in 1992, when McEnroe was beaten by eventual champion Andre Agassi. Stanford University coach Paul Goldstein flew in for the occasion and was watching inside Center Court when Fery eliminated French Open runner-up Alexander Zverev in straight sets in the quarterfinals on Wednesday. “Arthur always displayed an emotional maturity and a wisdom beyond his years,” Goldstein told The Associated Press. “When I worked with him at school, it always felt like it was as much of a peer-to-peer relationship as it was coach-to-student relationship with a 25-year age gap between us.” As a sophomore in 2021-22, Fery became Stanford’s first No.
