‘A hell of a match’ – Nick Kyrgios has ‘ultimate respect’ for Stefanos Tsitsipas despite fiery encounter

Nick Kyrgios insists he has the ‘ultimate respect’ for Stefanos Tsitsipas after the pair played out a fiery third round match on Saturday evening, with the Australian ultimately coming out on top.

'The most remarkable thing' – Fabio Jakobsen stirring comeback shows he is made of ‘stronger stuff’

Fabio Jakobsen earned glowing praise on The Breakaway after storming to a «truly incredible» victory on Stage 2 of the Tour de France, nearly two years after a horrific crash which left him fighting for his life.

Opinion: Fabio Jakobsen's debut sprint victory at the Tour de France proves Patrick Lefevere picked it right
