Jack Draper has described fellow Brits Andy Murray and Dan Evans as “crazily good competitors” and hopes to do battle with them again as the grass-court season approaches. The 21-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough season last year, rising into the top 50 in the ATP rankings and achieving wins over top-10 opponents like Stefanos Tsitsipas and Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Cameron Norrie eased into the third round of the Italian Open while defending women's champion Iga Swiatek was in ruthless form.
Another big name fell early at the Italian Open as Ons Jabeur's return from injury ended in a straight-sets defeat to Paula Badosa, but Maria Sakkari safely progressed. The Tunisian’s exit means that three of the top four seeds have failed to make it to the last 32, after Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula also suffered shock exits. Ad Badosa applied pressure on Jabeur’s serve throughout, taking five of nine break points to clinch a 6-1 6-4 victory in 70 minutes.
The 2023 French Open is just three weeks away and there remains uncertainty over whether some of the biggest names in tennis will be playing the Grand Slam. Defending champion Rafael Nadal is the big question mark in the men’s draw given he hasn’t played since the Australian Open. Ad Novak Djokovic has also battled an injury over the last month while Nick Kyrgios hasn’t played this year after undergoing surgery.
Andy Murray has been hailed as a “role model for the younger generation” by tennis legend Boris Becker after the former world No. 1 claimed his first title since 2019 in Aix-en-Provence. The 35-year-old dropped down a level to play the Challenger tournament in France in the wake of a poor start to the clay-court season where he suffered back-to-back first-round exits in Monte Carlo and Madrid.
British No. 1 Cameron Norrie is safely through to the last 16 of the Rome Masters after the 13th seed beat qualifier Alexandre Muller in straight sets, while home favourite Jannik Sinner also progressed. Norrie has struggled on clay so far this season, winning just two matches in Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Madrid combined.
Ronnie O'Sullivan has confessed the cut-throat nature of professional snooker at the top level comes with the merciless mindset of «ruining your opponent's life». In a no-holds barred account more akin to boxing, the seven-time world champion has laid bare the bloodthirsty aspect of the green baize by acknowledging the key to success comes down to «f****** them up». Ad Despite battling with his mental health throughout his tumultuous and turbulent 31-year career, O'Sullivan has become a master of such mind games as the undisputed snooker GOAT by winning a record 39 ranking titles, including seven world titles and seven Masters crowns since 1995.
Novak Djokovic says Carlos Alcaraz is «the player to beat» on clay ahead of his return to competitive action at the Italian Open. The 35-year-old is making his comeback to the ATP Tour after struggling with an elbow injury during the clay court season. Ad He did not compete at the Madrid Open last week after struggling physically at the Monte Carlo Masters and Banja Luka.
