Novak Djokovic Makes Stylish Return At Laver Cup As Roger Federer Watches On

Novak Djokovic made an impressive return after two months out of action as the Team Europe star thrashed Frances Tiafoe 6-1, 6-3 with Roger Federer cheering him on at the Laver Cup on Saturday. Djokovic showed no signs of rust in his first appearance since winning the seventh Wimbledon crown of his remarkable career in July. The 35-year-old followed his dominant victory over Tiafoe at London's O2 Arena with another win just hours later alongside Matteo Berrettini in the doubles.

Twitter Reacts As Jhulan Goswami Bids Farewell To International Cricket

The Indian cricket fraternity took to social media to bid Indian women's pace legend Jhulan Goswami farewell after the third and final ODI against England at Lord's, which was her final international match. Many cricketers and administration figures took to Twitter on Saturday to bid Jhulan farewell and congratulate her on a legendary career.

Tears flow as emotions rule at Roger Federer's farewell

Roger Federer stressed, between sobs, that his were happy tears - at first to the 17,500 spectators and then to his family, teenage daughters, Charlene Riva and Myla Rose. Beside him, on their court-side seat, was his great rival Rafael Nadal, he was dolorous. The Swiss covered the Spaniard's hand with his own, ostensibly to console him. Or to be consoled. The lines were smudged, it was that kind of an evening. Earlier Nadal and Federer went down 6-4, 6-7, 9-11 in the Laver Cup to the American pair of Frances Tiafoe and Jack Sock in what was the 41-year-old's farewell game. The result is irrelevant. While the match itself had moments of Federer magic, including one at the start of the campaign, where the 41-year-old on a dodgy knee threaded the needle, the hole-like gap between post and net. The Americans won the point, even if Federer got the applause.

Clarke hails side's composure as Scots avenge Dublin loss

Scotland manager Steve Clarke praised his side for showing the patience and composure to overturn a half-time deficit and defeat Republic of Ireland 2-1. The Scots - playing their second game in 72 hours - trailed at the break to John Egan's opener at a packed-out Hampden. But Jack Hendry's second-half header and a late Ryan Christie penalty - following Alan Browne's handball - were enough to secure a crucial victory for Clarke's side as they moved back above Ukraine at the top of Nations League Group B1 ahead of Tuesday's showdown between the two nations in Krakow. "It was as tough a game as we expected, you could see Ireland had a clear week to prepare for the game," said Clarke.
