PARIS — Marketa Vondrousova was bewildered after her quarterfinal loss to No. 1 Iga Swiatek. She had been caught up in the Swiatek hurricane on Court Philippe-Chatrier, slipping to a 6-0, 6-2 defeat. Still, at least she picked up a couple of games, unlike Swiatek's fourth-round opponent Anastasia Potapova, who lost 6-0, 6-0. Afterward, Vondrousouva acknowledged what it is like being on the wrong end of a Swiatek masterclass.
Rohit Sharma's bruised biceps is expected to heal before the big game against Pakistan on Sunday but the "semi-dangerous" track with "huge open cracks" at the Nassau County will be a worry for all stakeholders, ahead of the marquee clash to promote the shortest version in the mainland United States. With a host of experts including former England skipper Michael Vaughan being scathing in their assessments, questions are being raised as to why a few practice games weren't played before the big event to allow the pitch to settle down.
Truly living up to the title of 'T20 World Cup', the tournament in USA and West Indies saw minnows Uganda reach a huge milestone, claiming their first ever in the event's history. Uganda beat Papula New Guinea by 3 wickets at Providence Stadium on Wednesday in a low-scoring but tense encounter. It wasn't just the Uganda team that scripted history but also their 43-year-old spinner Frank Nsubuga who registered the record of bowling the most economical spell in T20 World Cup history.
Mirra Andreeva became the youngest Grand Slam semi-finalist for 27 years with a shock win over Aryna Sabalenka on Wednesday at the French Open, after fourth seed Elena Rybakina was knocked out by Italy's Jasmine Paolini. The 17-year-old Andreeva fought back from a set down against Australian Open champion Sabalenka, who appeared to be hampered by illness, to win 6-7 (5/7), 6-4, 6-4 and set up a last-four meeting with Italy's Jasmine Paolini. The Russian is the youngest woman to reach the last four at a Slam event since Martina Hingis at the 1997 US Open, and the youngest at Roland Garros since Hingis, also that year.
The USA captain Monank Patel has backed his team's fearless approach to continue their winning campaign in the T20 World Cup 2024 when they take on heavy-weight Pakistan and said his side is focusing on tackling experienced Pakistan bowler Mohammad Amir and "great batter in all the formats" Babar Azam. The opening game's USA victory against Canada clearly shows how dangerous the hosts are. The way the hosts handled themselves, turning a seemingly hopeless situation into a convincing triumph, is typical of a confident team coming off of a thrilling 2-1 series victory over Bangladesh in the lead-up to the tournament.
The usual suspects in the sports media continue to downplay Chennedy Carter's cheap shot on Caitlin Clark during a matchup last Saturday. But we hadn't yet seen anyone claim that Carter is the victim.
Cameron Brink, the second-overall pick of the 2024 WNBA Draft, believes that younger white players in the league, such as herself, are privileged. Actually, not just privileged in the general sense, but "inherently" privileged.
The Indian cricket team gets another shot at an ICC title as the team gets engrossed in the T20 World Cup 2024 campaign in the USA and West Indies. It's been over a decade that India last tasted success in an ICC event despite reaching semi-finals and finals on numerous occasions. As the team looks to end the long and excruciating wait, Hardik Pandya's role as an all-rounder might be the most crucial. Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer, in fact, has asked Hardik to play the role Yuvraj Singh did during India's triumph at the ICC World T20 in 2007.
