NEW YORK: The final Grand Slam of the tennis season begins on Monday in New York with defending champions Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek searching for US Open repeats, while Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur is looking to go one further than her runner-up showing from last year.
Novak Djokovic has said he is treating each Grand Slam like it's his last as the men's record 23-time major champion makes his return to the US Open next week.
Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz are on a US Open collision course as the final Grand Slam tournament of season gets under way on Monday with American teenager Coco Gauff chasing a breakthrough first major title. A little more than six weeks after world number one Alcaraz defeated Djokovic in an enthralling finale to the Wimbledon championships, the two men could meet again at Flushing Meadows if the seedings go to play over the next fortnight.
As Novak Djokovic begins his chase for a fourth US Open title, the 23-time Grand Slam champion said World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz is bringing the best out of him as the 20-year-old Spaniard has been "pushing him to the limit." The pair faced off in the Western and Southern Open final on Sunday, and it took the Serbian three hours and 49 minutes to win — extending his record — his 39th ATP Masters 1000 crown. The hard-court major US Open will run from August 28 to September 10.
Tennis legends Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi are not in favour of more Indians choosing doubles over singles, saying the highest accolades in the sport go to individual performers. "No, why would we do that?" Bhupathi told PTI when asked if Indians should focus more on doubles. "We have not had a quarterfinalist in a Grand Slam of the singles since Ramesh Krishnan (in mid-1980s). I think that is where we should focus," he said, adding, "The bar has been set very high by us (in doubles). If you are going to try and beat that, it is going to take a few decades." "You have got to look at all different disciplines on its own, whether it is singles or doubles or mixed doubles -- it is all a part of tennis. (But) focussing on singles is the way to go because that is where the highest accolades are," added Paes on the sidelines of an US Polo Association event in Mumbai on Friday.
DUBAI: Baseball United, the first-ever professional baseball league focused on the Middle East and Indian subcontinent, has announced that Mexico-based uniform and equipment provider Arrieta will serve as its official uniform partner.
ASTANA: The UAE national jiu-jitsu team, sponsored by Mubadala Investment Company, on Friday secured its fourth consecutive victory at the JJIF World Championship Youth.
The potential for upset and shock is one of fascination in any sport.
