BEIJING : The strained relations between the governments of China and the United States in the run-up to the Winter Olympics have not been reflected on the curling rink in Beijing where the camaraderie has been a lot warmer than the ice underfoot.
Grand slam champion Juan Martin del Potro is considering an imminent retirement from tennis, saying recurring injuries mean two tournaments in Argentina and Brazil this month will "possibly" be his last.
Andy Murray is set to bring in his former coach Dani Vallverdu for the Rotterdam Open as the Briton continues his battle to rediscover his old self. Murray suffered a disappointing second-round exit from the Australian Open to Japan's Taro Daniel in January, and his noises post-match suggested he is no nearer to finding a consistent formula to climb up the world rankings after his well-documented injury problems. Ad/> So enlisting the help of Venezuelan Vallverdu — so key to Murray's Grand Slam successes at the 2012 US Open and Wimbledon 2013 — seems like a move designed to do just that.
Juan Martin del Potro said Saturday his comeback next week after two and a half years of injury is "more a farewell than a return" to tennis. Del Potro is set to announce his retirement after he plays at the Argentina Open in Buenos Aires, his first tournament since fracturing his kneecap in June 2019 at Queen's in London. The former world number three has undergone four surgeries on his knee for that injury while slipping to 757 in the world rankings.
BEIJING : The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will proceed with a meeting with former world number one doubles tennis player Peng Shuai during the Beijing Winter Olympics but details of the meeting will not be shared in advance, it said on Sunday.
Joao Sousa moved to Barcelona at the age of 16 and started training at the BTT tennis academy, where Francisco Roig, a key member of Rafael Nadal’s coaching staff, became his mentor. For the following six years, the Portuguese had the opportunity to learn from one of the game’s top minds and also had the occasional opportunities to practise with the Spanish legend himself. Needless to say, the 32-year-old Portuguese has imbibed the never-say-die fighting spirit of the Mallorcan.
The last of the free spirits may yet be the first of the British athletes to make a meaningful dent on these Winter Olympics.
